Taismo Unending

Ch. 1

Tails watched as the two super hedgehogs collided with the Metarex planet, destroying it along with the one he loved…

"NOOO!!!!!!! COSMO!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled as the pieces of debris scattered throughout space.

He got up and ran out to the deck, right under the destroyed cannon.

"COSMO!!!!!" he yelled out.

A noise from behind made the fox jump, "Cosmo?" He turned around to see a blue hedgehog standing there, who was walking towards him.

"Sonic?" Tails asked him, but he didn't reply, and kept walking.

"Sonic I….I" he stuttered

Sonic stopped in front of him, and raised his fist in the air. Tails' eyes widened as he did this, "S-Sonic… what are you…"

Sonic lifted Tails' paw with his other hand, and placed something in it.

"Here Tails, I'm sorry, I looked for Cosmo, but this is all I found" Sonic said solemnly.

Tails looked at his hand, and found a tiny white seed.

Tears began to leak from his eyes, as he clenched the seed in his fist. He collapsed onto Sonic, with a waterfall of tears streaming down his face.

"Sonic! Why did this happen?!" He shouted.

"I shouldn't have fired that cannon! Now I'll never get to see her again! Cosmo… I-I"

Tails pushed Sonic away and ran off, but he tripped up along the way, and curled up into a ball, shivering in despondency.

"C..C…. Cosmo…." He said softly, "I-I shouldn't have fired…. I should have thought of another plan!!!"

He began to slam his head into the ground, "WHY COULDN'T I THINK OF SOMETHING?!?!"

"You gave it your best, buddy…" Sonic said softly, walking over to him.

Tails stopped banging his head, and looked at the hedgehog, "It wasn't good enough! I should have thought harder…"

"Come on bud, there was nothing you could have done…" Sonic said sympathetically, offering his hand to Tails.

Tails knocked it away and slowly stood up. "You don't know that!!" He yelled at him, "There must be something I could have done…. In fact, I know there was. There had too be!"

"Tails…"

Tails was weeping a great deal, and he turned away. "Sonic, I…. I should have waited a little longer…" He said very weakly.

"You had to stop the Metarex… If you had waited…"

"I know…. But……" Tails sighed, "Come on, lets go home…" He said, and walked off.

"Buddy…" Sonic sighed, and followed him.

Tails entered the control room, and found Cream and Amy still crying in the corner. He ignored them, and turned to the control panel. He starred at it for a long time, and Sonic eventually placed his hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to do it Tails, I understand."

Tails shook Sonics' hand off his shoulder, and slowly walked over to the chair. He looked at the trigger he pushed just a few minuets earlier, and burst into tears.

"Cosmo…." He muttered under his breath.

"Tails, I can do it." Sonic offered, but Tails ignored him and warily sat down. He punched a few buttons, and input the word 'Home' onto the monitor. The ship began to turn, and Tails fell onto the controls crying.

"S-Sonic… If it's alright with you... I'd like to be alone for awhile..."

"Alright buddy…" He replied, then went over to Cream and Amy. He whispered something to them, and they all left with the door shutting behind them.

"Cosmo…. I-I should have told you… Why did I have to be so shy…." He cried to himself.

He stood up and kicked the consol several times, "DAMN IT!!!"

He then collapsed up against the wall, and cried into his knees. He sat there for awhile before, "…Tails?"

"Huh, who… who's there?" Tails asked, wiping the tears from his eyes. He looked around, but no one was there, "Guess I'm hearing things…" he said, and started to cry again.

"…..Tails…"

"Who's there?" Tails asked, standing up.

"….Tails…."

"That sounds like…."
