I don't own any of the Sonic characters, they belong to their rightful owners.

This is the prologue to the story, so this is more of an introductory chapter instead of being chapter one. Keep that in mind. Anyways I had this story idea for a while and since I am having some writer's block for my other story, I figured why not start on this one? Lets get the show on the road shall we 8D


Tails was on the floor in a daze, he had no clue what had hit him. The room was spinning for a few seconds before he came back to his senses. The young fox quickly remembered that he was in a middle of a fight, his friends and him were ambushed. The mission was failing and it just barely started. Robots where as far as he could see, but they didn't seem too interested in him at the moment. Tails could see both Sonic and Knuckles in the distance, they both looked to be in trouble. They were being out numbered by the robots.

"I got to get up, I have to help them" muttered the two tailed fox to himself as he tried to sit up. Tails winced in pain with every attempt, he was more hurt then he thought. With some quick thinking he used the wall that was near him to help him get to his feet. The young fox held his breath as he used the wall, it was one of the most painful experiences he ever had. Sharp pains shot through his body but he managed to get back onto his feet.

It was a struggle for Tails to keep standing, but he didn't want to let his friends down so he tried to bear through the pain. Out of the corner of his eye the two tailed fox spotted a robot ready to fire. It was aiming for Sonic, who was still preoccupied at the moment by the huge amount of robots along with Knuckles.

"Look out Sonic" shouted Tails, but it was drowned out by the fighting. There was no time to lose, he had to act. He ran as fast as his body would allow him towards the robot.

Time started to move slower as Tail's heart beat began to move faster as he continued to run. All he could hear was the thumping of his heart, everything seemed to be drowned out by it. The robot's weapon fired a pure white laser. Tails started to feel numb as he came closer to the robot, and then he just jumped in front of the laser without a second thought. Time started to speed up and the noise started to take over again.

Tails let out a yelp when he got hit. He fell back onto the ground with a thud, he could feel himself slip away from reality into darkness. Nothing seemed to matter anymore, he didn't feel any pain. Tails though could faintly hear crashing noises, as if the robots were breaking themselves...

"Tails!", it sounded like Sonic's voice and it echoed for what it seemed for years...


Sonic's voice kept echoing though Tails's head for a few more seconds, it sounded as clear as day. The darkness that surrounded the fox started to fade away to light as he slowly opened his eyes. Oddly he felt a lot of pain as he started to become more awake as if when sleeping he was numb. The more he became awake the pain increase, it felt as if a bus or another large vehicle had hit him. He also had somewhat of an burning sensation on as well but the pain was the worse. As the room started to become more focused and less hazy Tails started to see that he was in a room, even though all he was looked at was the ceiling so he was not a hundred percent sure where he was. The young fox could feel that he was on top of the sheets as if someone had just laid him on the bed because he was not under the covers but could still feel them.

"How did I get here, where am I?" muttered the two tailed fox in a ruff and cracked voice. It even hurt to talk.

Tails heard the door open but could not see who it was. He just kept looking up at the ceiling, like he was when he first waked up. He could hear footsteps coming towards him even though they were soft as if walking on carpet.

"Whos there?" Tails asked after a few seconds.

"You're awake?" the footsteps stopped "Its me, Silver"

"Silver?" said the two tailed Fox in a confused voice as he tried to sit up. It though was harder said then when sharp pain shot through him, causing him to yelp. Silver ran over to him in concern.

"Don't sit up Tails, you were banged up pretty badly" he replied, Tails could now see Silver for he was over him. The silver colored hedgehog gently put the young fox back to a laying position.

"What happened, where am I" asked Tails

"You're at home" said Silver, he then paused for a moment before talking again. "Well from what I heard you took a hit from a laser gun and you weren't in good shape to start with. You were out cold when I got there."

When Silver mentioned the laser, Tails instantly was taken back to the dream he just had. Flashes from the dream flowed through his mind, the robot was going to shoot Sonic when he was off guard but the young fox took the shot for him. "Is Sonic okay?"

The psychic hedgehog's facial expression seemed to drop at the sound of Sonic's name, he looked away from Tails as if he knew something but did not want to tell. "Don't worry about Sonic" said Silver quickly.

Tails caught on to the change in Silver, he wondered what the psychic hedgehog knew. The two tailed fox weakly sat up, wincing with each movement that he did, to look at the psychic hedgehog better. Silver took a few steps backwards. He seemed to be on edge, although he tried to not show but failed miserably. With Silver acting like that caused Tails's heart to drop, he had a bad feeling something happened.

"Silver, I need to know if Sonic is alright. Did something happen to him?" asked the two tailed fox even though he pained him to talk, worry was heard in his voice.

"Tails just drop the subject, okay" snapped Silver after a minute.

"No I won't drop the subject. Tell me, is he okay?" said Tails firmly, Sonic was his best friend in the world so he was not about to drop the subject. He wanted to know if the blue hedgehog was okay and the way things where going at the moment the two tailed fox was worried.

"You really don't want to know Tails, trust me." said the psychic hedgehog with a sigh

"Yes I do. Did something bad happen to him?"

Silver hesitated, he knew this would not end but at the same time Tails would not stop asking about Sonic. It probably was a dead giveaway that Sonic was not there because of the bond the two had, they always had to make sure the other is alright. Sonic not seeing Tails sent up a red flag for the young fox.

"Fine Tails, but you will not like it." said Silver, he then took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He did not want to see Tails's reaction "An huge explosion happened during the mission that caused the building to be completely destroyed. Sonic never left the building, he is presumed dead along with Robotnik."

Tails just sat there speechless for a few moments. It looked like someone had just stabbed him in the heart or torn out the young fox's heart completely. Not a single tear came from his eyes but he was big eyed, most likely the shock had got to him. "No, it couldn't be"

"Tails I'm sorry"

The two tailed fox shook his head as if he was completely denied was he just heard. The flow of tears started to come. "No, you're lying. Sonic can't be dead, he was fine the last time I saw him"

"It happened after you passed out, you've been out for a while."

"No" shouted Tails, he tried to get off the bed. He still had trouble moving but that was not going to the young fox. After a few painful tries Tails managed to get out of bed, but he collapsed onto the ground almost instantly. He was too weak to support his own body. The two tailed fox was on his knees facing the ground as he used his arms to keep him up. He was not looking at Silver at all. "No you're lying" muttered Tails in a heart broken tone.

"Hold on let me help you back into bed" said Silver bending down to the fox. He tried to help the two tailed fox up, but Tails would have nothing to do with the psychic hedgehog.

"Don't touch me!" shouted the young fox again. Tears rolled down his face and hit the ground as he clutched his hands into fists. "Sonic can't be dead, he just can't be." He then whispered in a very low tone "I'm sorry Sonic, I'm so sorry that I let you down"


So there you have it the prologue to the story(yeah its a bit on the vague side but that is what I am aiming for in this prologue). I hope it didn't fail too much, I sort of suck with openings XD

I don't know when I'll get the actual first chapter up for this story, but I'll try not to keep you all waiting too long. Till then see you later.
