Chapter one: Flashback
Hello. Blueberry91 here. This is my second fanfic. My 1st one got deleted due to it being in script format, so I canned it. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. This entire story is in tails' point of view. Also I do not own these characters. They belong to Sega.
I was on both knees inside of what was left of one of eggman's bases. I had just suffered the most devastating loss of my life: The death of my best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog.
"I… I still can't believe he's gone. He raised me." I sobbed. "He was like a brother to me."
Flashback
We were flying in the tornado in the sky. Sonic was looking down at the ground. Suddenly, he said, "Huh? That's it down there tails! That's eggman's new base! Then I replied. "Ok sonic. Hold on!" As we closed in on the base, the cannons turned and opened fire on us relentlessly. "Whoa!" I cried as I narrowly dodged the incoming fire. Luckily, I somehow managed to land the aircraft in one piece.
As we dashed inside the base, a medium sized squad of badniks came out from a secret door. One of the badniks started to say, "Halt in the name of Dr-" It didn't even have time to finish as sonic and I easily sliced through the robots one-by-one. We didn't even have enough time to stop as wasps, caterkillers, crabs and many other types of baddies came pouring out from all directions. I then had an idea. "Hey sonic! Let's try the sonic spinball attack. I winked. Sonic grinned back at me. I grabbed sonic's hands and spun him around faster and faster, and let go. He then curled up in a ball and started to spin like mad. He sliced through the majority of the enemies like a hot knife through butter. The rest of the badniks attempted to retreat.
They all cried, "Run away! Run away! Run away!" Sonic chunked part of a robot at the remaining badniks that fled, and an explosion ensued. "Wasted" he said with a smirk on his face. I yelled for sonic to c'mon with excitement in my voice. I continued to wait for my cobalt pal as he watched what was left of the roasting robots burn. He turned and replied, "I'm coming little buddy!" We continued on our trek through the vile base, avoiding the many traps and enemies that lurked ahead.
Eventually, we made it into a large, circular room. The door closed behind us and we knew eggman was here. A large hatch from above the room opened and a mech 20 times bigger than the one sonic fought from eggman's 3rd assault on earth came down. I stared up in awe as I saw the machine's weaponry: 2 chaos cannons, one on each forearm, 2 giant beam swords, 50 small quad-laser cannons all over the body of the bot, and a hyper chaos cannon in the chest of the unit. The only thing sonic and I could say was, "Holy hell." Then eggman's voice piped up from a loudspeaker on the bot. "Muahahaha! Hello sonic and tails. What do you think of my egg conqueror?" Then sonic being his cocky self said, "Wow, what a hunk of junk eggman." The evil doctor then yelled, "WHAT! That's it. YOU DIE NOW!"
Eggman fired one of the wrist chaos cannons and shot at us. We barely dodged the intense blast from the cannon. "Tails. I'll go this alone." Sonic said with a hint of worry in his voice. "No sonic! It's too dangerous to fight alone! Let me help!" I pleaded. "No." He replied. "I can't risk putting you in anymore danger than you already are." "But… but… but…" I blubbered. "Hey" sonic said. "It'll be alright." He then gave me one of his trademark smirks and a thumbs up. I smiled a little and gave him a thumbs up back.
He then turned around to face the gargantuan machine, taking out the seven chaos emeralds. The emeralds spun around him faster and faster like a top, and flew in to him infusing him with chaos energy and transforming my friend into super sonic. He then bolted up into the air and charged at the monster of a robot. Eggman aimed and fired all of the quad-laser cannons at sonic but to no avail. Sonic slammed his fists into the hull of the bot, but was knocked away by one of its arms. I noticed that sonic was bleeding a bit. He appeared to notice this too.
Sonic then said, "Damn. There isn't even a scratch." Sonic then proceeded to bash the robot all over searching for a weak point, but nothing happened. The bot was in no way fazed by any of the blows. Eggman then spoke again, "Foolish sonic! You can not damage my conqueror for it is powered by the super chaos emeralds!" "What!" Sonic gasped. "How?" "It was quite easy." Eggman explained. "That fool knuckles fell for my distraction which consisted of some badniks attempting to steal the master emerald, while I stole the super emeralds. But of course they didn't succeed at stealing it."
I then watched in horror as I saw eggman grab sonic in the massive robot's hands. For the first time, sonic had screamed in agony, as eggman squeezed tighter and tighter. Then eggman fired the massive hyper chaos cannon at my friend. I then screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sonic turned back to normal as his body landed on the ground with a sickening thud. I thought "No. this can't be happening!" as I rushed to sonic's side.
He was still alive. "Sonic! Please don't die!" I held his hand. Then he weakly replied, "Hey… little… buddy…." He had a weak smile on his lips. "Everything's… gonna… be… alright." I was terrified, tears pouring down my cheeks. "No! Please don't leave me." He then said, "Tails… be… strong… be-live…" A single tear came from his eyes as his body went limp. I felt sick as I sobbed and called his name. I then heard a voice behind. "Muahahahahaha! My nemesis is finally dead! Now nothing can stop me!" He was in his egg mobile. Oh how I wanted to pound my fists in his face over and over and not stop until he was dead. I continued to sob as eggman got back in the egg conqueror and left…
End Flashback
As I thought about the events that occurred, my sorrow turned into burning anger, which quickly grew to white hot rage. This feeling kept of growing and growing, until I couldn't take it anymore. My adrenaline was pumping like crazy as I started to thrash and scream uncontrollably. I have never felt like this ever before. I was being torn apart inside. Eventually, I calmed down and sat on some rubble. And then it hit me. I knew what I had to do. I stood up. "Sonic… your sacrifice will not be in vain. I promise." I said with a smile. I then left what was the remains of the base in the tornado 2 to go back home to the workshop.
To be continued…
