Not into the zombies part yet, just leading up to the point where they will make their appearance, as you most likely know where that is…
"And with one man's mistake, our entire race rides on the brink of extinction."
With the sore throbbing in his lower appendage, he did his best not to move for the doctor as he gave him a needle in his tail.
"There we go, that should help it heal right up." The human doctor said with certainty. "I would say that your tails will heal in about a month from now, until then, you shouldn't try flying at all." The doctor professionally suggested.
"Thank you, doctor." He politely replied.
The twin tailed fox sat up from the hospital table he'd been lying on and stood on his feet. Looking back at his tails, he frowned at how they barely swinged or moved at all due to his injury.
"The things you do are very dangerous for a boy your age." The doctor spoke, catching his attention. "But, also are very brave. Your parents must be proud of you." The doctor smiled at the kitsune.
Suddenly, his curious smile had turned into a grimly frown, as he reminisced on his parents. "Yeah, they would, wouldn't they…" He said gloomy as he walked out the door.
"Mr. Prower, do take care of yourself… you hear?" The man shouted down the hall as the kitsune neared the lobby.
"I will doctor, I will."
After checking out, he stepped outside. Greeted by the shining sun, and least of all, his brother Sonic there to meet him after his appointment
"Hey Tails, do it go alright in there buddy?" The blue hedgehog asked his younger brother.
Tails smiled and pretended he was horrified in there. "Oh, it was horrible Sonic; they stuck me full of needles and drained all my blood, twice in fact!" He shouted.
"Sounds pretty gruesome… wouldn't want to get a check up there." He said, as they both laughed at they're little game.
"So Tails, want to get a bite to eat? Like, say a chilidog?" His stomached growled at the mention of chilidogs, tempting his eager appetite to that proposal.
"You know it, Sonic."
3 Hours later…
"A little too intense back there, Sonic." He argued with his older brother.
Shrugging as always, the hedgehog winked his eyes in a stutter as he replied. "You know how clingy she can be, especially scary when she swings that hammer."
"I'm not really going to argue with that. I'm smart enough to know that Amy and her hammer are dangerous." The fox said in an agreeable tone.
They walked down the dirt road leading towards Mystic ruins, looking back at the images of Station Square in the distance. Admiring there view, they decided a little competition was in action.
"Hey Tails, wanna race?" The blue hedgehog said with a sheepish smile on his face.
"You're on." Tails replied.
With the countdown to one, they sped off through the trees, leaving streams of dust behind them as the raced at an incredible speed. Racing through the trees until they reached the rocky out corps of Mystic ruins, they stopped as they neared the house that stood at the peak of its edge.
"Ow." Tails muttered out of breath, reaching the house moments after Sonic had. Clutching his back side, as he kneeled down.
"You alright little buddy?" Sonic asked his friend. "I think that was pretty hard on your tails, sorry if I-"
"No, it's alright Sonic; it's nothing I can't handle." Tails winced as he stood back up.
"Well, I gotta admit, you were pretty fast for having a broken tail; I could say you're getting to be almost half my speed!" Sonic praised the yellow fox. "C'mon, let's get inside."
As Sonic helped Tails walk into the house, they took a moment to admire their established home. It was a large house, not exactly a mansion, but larger than they would really need. A small stream ran through they're yard, where they situated a small waterwheel on the side of the house as an environmental innovation. Flowers blossomed in the front yard, a small garden in the back with a small tree growing in the middle of a fertilized patch. The plant Tails had cherished ever since… not fond memories to remember what happened had grown into a large oak tree, something strange for its origin.
"Ah Sonic, just let me down on the couch right now." He said to his friend. He complied with what he asked, and helped his brother to lay on the couch.
"Thanks." He cheerfully thanked his older brother.
Sonic had been amazed at Tails, as of recently. "Tails, you're really astonishing me, I mean you were pretty shut out with everyone after… well, you know…" The hedgehog was careful to choose his words, not to upset the Kit.
"Well, I've decided to take an optimistic view at life, I still love her… I won't ever forget her. I just… have to move." He told him, as he sat up on the couch.
The blue blur decided to relax himself, as he sat beside Tails. "Did I ever mention how you've never ceased to amaze me? You're just full of surprises." Sonic said.
"Well, I am a genius, well known in my mechanics and so on…" He bragged about himself. "But, nothings faster than you, Sonic."
"Can't argue with the truth."
They sat in they're living room, watching the large 50inch widescreen Television as the weather outside became dark and gloomy. Sonic had twice; gotten up to get snacks for the both of them to eat, not even noticing the developing thunderclouds.
"Oh no, we forgot to get the hydraulic piece for the Tornado!" Tails shouted as he dropped the remote by accident. "Maybe we have enough time to go back and get…"
Only then, did the Kitsune see the raining clouds outside the window, witnessing a streak of lighting dart down from the sky and strike the ground with a ferocious roar.
Yelping in fear, he quickly jumped back onto the couch, cuddling underneath the cousins as the thunder continued.
"Whoa, it's a thunderstorm? I remember the weather report saying it would be sunny all day…" Sonic muttered out loud. "Strange, it's only six o'clock too."
"S-Sure that is s-strange, but I-I mean, we don't have to g-go now, do we?" Tails said in panic and stuttering as well.
"We don't have to go Tails, I can go myself and get the part for you, and you get to stay here in the comfort of our house, away from all the thunder." The blue hedgehog assured him.
Tails lifted his head in a dramatic sense. "What? No way, you can't leave me here by myself!"
"Don't be so dramatic Tails."
"But you know how I-"
"I'll pick up some mint ice cream."
"…ok, but get two packs, alright?"
"You betcha." Sonic said as they reached their compromise. "Be back in flash!" he shouted, speeding out the front door and slamming it as he left.
Tails stared at the door, then back at the TV as a add came up detailing a movie for rent.
"…rent the zombie movie time magazine has been calling the best zombie slashing massacre of all time, directed by the mastermind and grandfather of all zombie movies, George. A .Romero's "Call of the Dead". When it isn't in the script, you just gotta improvise."
The commercial ended after showing a few graphic scenes of people eating other people, and others slashing apart others with pitchforks, sickles, and machetes. "How disgusting, I can't believe some people like watching stuff like this." Tails said in disgust. He looked down at his wrist watch, seeing the time was 6:30, he knew it was time to take another painkiller for his tails.
"I can't fly the Tornado for a month anyway, maybe Sonic shouldn't have gone… nah, I mean, nothing could go wrong, could it?"
