A/N: This is an older sonic fic I wrote for class. Not the best quality, but it's like a year old.
So this is it… it is my time… this is the end… it is ironic, to die like this… death by one of my own, my sister, my lover, my final hope. I have failed. I am sorry my Maria...my Maria… Maria… maria… ma… m… goodbye…
Maria Robotnik stood at the edge of a cliff looking out, her face locked in a false smile. "My Shadow." Her smile widened till it was almost real. "My hero." She looked down at the communicator strpped to her arm and reached to turn it on. She stopped, frowning, and as if changing her mind, ripped it off, tossing it over the precipice. She looked up at the moon and stars above her and her face broke into a maniacal grin. "Mission accomplished. Shadow the hedgehog terminated. Are you proud, Towers?" She whispered, before closing her eyes and throwing herself straight off the cliff.
Mist. The Mist. So cool, so welcoming, so free. I live in the Mist, and it is my master. When I am in it I am free. I can run where I want and have all my freedom. No restrictions, no consequences. My only need is the Mist. The Mist is my god, my deity, higher than Chaos, higher than Solaris, the Mist is the supreme. I am born of it and live in it. Now I must return to the facade of my life though, my only dream of returning.
Miles Prowler, or Tails, as his friends called him, was, as usual, having a bad day. Sonic was out running as usual and wasn't answering his phone, Eggman had chosen now as a good time to kidnap Amy and attempt to take over Station Square again , Shadow was missing again, there was something wrong with the Master Emerald again, the Chaos Emeralds were missing again, oh, and somebody stole his bike AGAIN! Plus, to top it all off, Vector still hadn't paid him back the 50 bucks he owed him for a bet involving Shadow, a machine gun as long as a car, and the red Chaos Emerald. Where the hell was Sonic? Suddenly the front door to his lab slammed open. On his doorstep stood someone he thought he would never see again. "C... Cosmo?"
"Hello Tails," The green Sedrian said, "Will you come with me?"
" Cosmo, I've missed you so much! Of course I'll follow you, but where?"
" You will see, I will explain when we get there"
Cosmo then pulled out the green Chaos Emerald and grabbed Tails's hand while shouting "Chaos Control!"
An instant later, Tails found himself standing in a small cave, Cosmo behind him.
"Where are we?"
"A small cave I found a while ago. I bet you want an explanation right?"
"Of course! You were dead!"
"Fine. You do deserve to know, after all. Three months ago the monster created by Doctor Eggman known as the Time Eater tore a hole in the time stream and allowed three people to be brought back to life. These people were me, Maria Robotnik, and an insane, evil, godlike entity known as The Mist. The Mist first possesed Sonic, then the commander of GUN, then Maria, forcing her to kill Shadow, Maria, who believed it was the GUN commander who had been controlling her, killed him before killing herself. The Mist has killed all of your friends except for Sonic, whom he intends to use to possess me and you. We have to fight back."
Tails stared at her, stunned. "Wait... You're telling me I have to kill my best friend to save the world!"
"Basically."
"Fine. When do we leave?"
"Now. I will teleport us to his location."
Cosmo grabbed the Chaos Emerald and shouted "Chaos Control!"
Seconds later, they were in a field in Green Hill Zone. Sonic stood before them, his normally green eyes and cerulean fur both an almost whitish blue. Tails stepped forward, his namesake two tails spinning.
"Mist, we are here to defeat you."
The being spoke with Sonic's voice "Just try."
He then spun a ball of blue energy in his right hand and fired it at Cosmo. The energy ball grew in size and eventually engulfed the girl's body. When the dust cleared, her body and eyes, like Sonic's, were almost completely light blue. The Mist fired another ball at Tails. As the ball hit him, it began to make sense. Everyone should join and love the mist. The mist was a divine gift of the highest degree. He should join the Mist.
"All hail the Mist!"
"All hail the Mist!"
"All hail the Mist!"
"You should join the Mist too."
