One
The boy was scared. Everything he knew had changed, ever since the King had been sentenced to a horrible prison by his own Warlord. The robots – even the ones that were his friends – turned against everyone, including the boy. The boy was currently hiding in a large bush, under the leaves so that nobody could see him. Hopefully.
Just as the boy was getting ready to check and see if there was anyone around, there were footsteps near the outside the bush. It wasn't the metal clank of a robot's footsteps, but more like a normal human being. Once the footsteps got directly outside, the boy pushed himself into the branches of the plant.
That, however, only let the man outside see the younger male. The man looked friendly enough, with a nice smile on his face, but looking as if he had been in a fight.
"Hey there, little guy. I destroyed the robots out there with my gun. You okay? Not hurt, are you?" the strange man asked, concern tainting his voice. The boy decided he was nice.
"I-I'm fine, thank you, mister. I'm waiting for my daddy to pick me up. He promised he would." The boy sniffed a little, close to tears at the thought that his parents were captured and turned into slaves, or worse: killed.
"Hey, if your dad is gonna pick you up, I'm afraid he might have gotten sidetracked by the robots. I didn't see anyone out here, though. Anyway, if you want to leave, you'd better come with me. It's dangerous for a kid like you to be out here. What's your name, by the way? I'm Sonic."
"My name is Miles Prower. But everybody calls me tails." The boy smiled a little, things could get better from here.
This is the story of a boy known as tails, a man known as sonic, and their band of rebels as they fight against the evil Warlord and his army of robots.
A/N: First SonicTH fanfiction, woo! I had a fun time writing this one, for I've never written steampunk before. Please enjoy.
