Disclaimer: I do NOT own Sonic, only the plot.

A/N: Just a plot hopping around in my head, so I had to put it in paper. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT I WON'T CONTINUE THIS STORY DEPENDING IN THE REVIEWS I GET, SO IF YOU WANT IT TO CONTINUE, REVIEW

-.-

"TAILS! LOOK OUT!"

The fox turned just in time to see a homing missile heading his way. He hadn't Sonic's speed, so he had no chances of dodging the explosive. Sonic was fighting a legion of robots; he certainly couldn't defeat them all and save him in a split second, no matter his speed. Knuckles had a problem of his own; his right leg was injured, probably broken, so he couldn't save him.

"TAILS!"

Too late. The missile was too close and he knew he wouldn't make it.

"Chaos CONTROL!" Shadow! He could save him, he's fast enough! Tails looked at the black hedgehog skating in his direction. He tried to run, but he seemed frozen in the spot. It was too late.

"Sonic..." he whispered.

The missile touched his target, followed by an explosion.

-.-

He watched horrified as the bomb directed against his best friend exploded. He fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands. He was too late, again. He knew that the little fox couldn't survive a blast like that, especially not in his current state. They'd been fighting all day long, but his enemy was worst than what he had seen before. His nemesis, Eggman, never attacked with the intent to kill, just to hurt or to paralyze. But this guy... he was going for the kill. Still, he didn't expect it to happen, much less to his best friend.

Now he knew why Shadow was a cold-hearted bastard.

If he knew that losing somebody hurted this much, he'd have dropped the hero position long time ago.

-.-

Well, what you think about it? I'll continue it if you want to, but keep in mind that if I don't get a single review in the next week, I'll probably scrap this or put it as a drabble.

R&R please!
