# Atonement #
Chapter 1

I actually got the idea for this story after looking at a deviant art picture of Tails and Fiona entitled Confrontation I think :P yes that is how I pictured Tails to look in this story. Some of that argument will show up in this fiction but the rest of the story is mine so enjoy typed on Android so sorry for any mistakes I may have missed.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic or other characters. "Weeps in corner"

In the dark of the night a red vixen known as Fiona Fox crept through the woods to keep from being seen by the patrols of the freedom fighters. She hadn't changed much since she left she still wore the black tanktop and black leather pants along with the two belts she wore in a x fashion. Slowly but surely she made her way to our favorite two tailed hero Tail's home after reaching his home made a quick check to prove she was alone she knocked on his door.

With Tails:

Tails had changed over the 10 years following Eggmans Defeat he had grown about 2 or so feet taller, he had 3 scars going over the big white patch of fur over his chest, his bangs had grown and nearly covered his left eye and he was missing some of his right ear. Underneath his plane 'The Tornado' Tails was working on fixing the engine to run off power rings instead of a chaos emerald since 'king' Sonic ordered that all chaos emeralds be brought to the castle for a case of emergency Sonic could use them to defend the kingdom if need be. Tails could see exactly why he did it but that didn't mean he had to like it because it just meant a bunch more fucking work. "If I hook this here and that there... Ahh!" Tails said as his compartment burst into smoke right in his face. "Stupid machine" he muttered under his breath. He then walked over to his blueprints to overlook his design to see if he made any errors "maybe if I rewire the converter..." He didn't finish his thought as he heard a knock at his door. After briefly wondering who it could be at this hour of the night he walked to the door to see the last person he would ever expect to see knock on his door."Fiona what the hell are you doing here!" "Hello Tails" was all she said then pushed tails aside enough to come in and shut the door. "Tails I need to talk to you and it has to be private and I knew you wouldn't let me in willingly so I let myself in" "Your Damn right I wouldn't let you in my house after everything you and goddamn boyfriend did to me!" Tails nearly yelled at her pointing an accusing finger right in her face. It was then that Fiona noticed the apparent scars on his chest. Confused as to how Tails, the least violent person she knew would have battle scars she asked "What happened to you" while reaching for his aforementioned scars Tails swatted her hand away and turned around refusing to answer the question. Fiona sighed " I just wanna know how someone like you who hated fighting has 3 giant scars right in plain sight on his chest." At first he said nothing then he said in a tone just above a whisper "Scourge" Fiona unsure of what he had said she asked again "who?" Tails then promptly turned around and yelled right in her face "YOUR DAMN BOYFRIEND SCOURGE GAVE THIS TO ME THE DAY HE BURNED DOWN MY HOME AND KILLED BOTH MY PARENTS RIGHT INFRONT OF ME 5 YEARS AGO." To say Fiona was shocked would be a understatement "when did he do that he never told me about any of that". While still venting his anger Tails then said "There I told you are you happy now" with a very pained voice "either way were getting off track of what I came here for, I need your help Tails back in Moebi-" Tails cut her off "why would I help you, for all I know this could be a trap so scourge can finish what he started." Tails finished while pointing to his scars. "Two things, one this is not a trap for scourge to kill you because a few years ago after I broke up with him he dissapeared on us, and two, you are the only person who would trust me after everything I've done." Fiona was pleading with Tails at this point. Tails was curious about something "you broke up with him why?" "Because he was a cheating bastard that's why! Vowed revenge on me to." It was all falling into place "now I know why scourge tried to kill me." Tails spoke while keeping from attacking Fiona with everything in his work shop "it was YOUR FAULT!" "My fault how is it my fault?!" Fiona asked him somewhat angry at him pointing fingers at her. "It makes sense now years ago you brake up with scourge after a while he thinks you would probably run to me after you broke up with him he kills my parents, tries to kill me all out of anger towards you." Tails finally puting all the pieces together, Fiona was indirectly responsible for his parent's death. "That can't be the reason he did it.
It just can't!" "Okay if that isn't the reason he did it THEN TELL ME. TELL ME WHY HE DID IT THEN!" "I... don't know" Fiona didn't have an answer. "I NEVER want to see your face again." Tails finished with as much hate one person can put inside words. "Tails I'm sorry I would never willingly take someone's life and you know it"! After a little moment of silence Tails spoke "I know you. I know you couldn't bring yourself to actually kill someone..." Fiona's hopes were rising again 'maybe he'll help after all' "but" Tails interjected "even if Scourge held the gun you still gave him the ammo so you are pretty much the same in my book" "Tails..." Fiona trailed off unkowing of what to say at this point "leave just leave". They heard a knock at the "how conveniant" Tails said while heading towards the door. "Tails please don't turn me in I'll do anything just name it please". "What would I want from you" Tails said with disgust. Fiona was out of options "I'll...I'll...I'll tell you where Scourge is"! Tails froze in his tracks just infront of the door. He didn't need to think much on his choice pointing at the tornado "NOW" he said in a quiet whisper. Seeing she was safely hidden he decided it was time to answer the door. Opening the door he saw Sonic accompanying 1-2 squads of freedom fighters with him "Tails" "Sonic" they greeted each other for the first time in a while. "What's with all the freedom fighters" "we have some witness reports that say Fiona Fox has changed dimensions and was running through this area have you heard anything" Tails faked a surprised look "Fiona around here no I haven't heard anything I was just starting to wrap up in here when you knocked". "well thanks Tails for the help. Say, do you mind if we have a look around your home real quick" taking Tails old feelings into account he didn't believe a single word Tails said. "Sure go ahead" Sonic then walked into Tails house and sent his men to search Tails house, all the while Fiona is thinking Tails will rat her out any second. Starting to believe Tails was telling the truth he was about to call off his soldiers when he spotted a nut falling out of the Tornado "did anyone check the plane" all the soldiers shook their heads no. Tails and Fiona sweat dropped. "All right c-" Sonic didn't finish talking before Tails knocked Sonic out cold hitting him in the back of the head. As Sonic fell to the ground unconcious Tails ran over to the tornado and grabbed Fiona "hang on" he shouted and flew out the window nearly as fast as Sonic. One of the guards shouted to grab them but it was too late Tails and Fiona were long gone "where did you stash your warp ring when you came through"Tails inquired as they sat down well out of tracking distance at least for the moment. "Right here" "all right" then Tails remembered something "hey hang on a sec how did you know where Scourge was you told me he vanished on you"! Tails had to keep his anger under control if he wanted info from Fiona. Fiona had to bite her lip, she didnt actually know where Scourge had run off to but she had to make him think she did "it was a last resort option he made me swear not to tell you". A small silence loomed over them like no one was there "so you did know about everything all this time." Fiona said nothing other than a small nod neither did Tails until he grabbed her by the collar of her tank top and slammed her against the nearest tree as hard as he could. That did it now all Tails could think of was to smash her fucking face in she knew everything that happened to him and she fucking lied to him AGAIN to think he was stupid enough to trust her. Now he would make her pay for the pain she caused him...but who would show him where Scourge was hiding if he would go too far ,which he probably would, he could kill her. A half dead scout wouldn't help either but the question was if he could stop. 'Okay Tails do what you do best use your head and calm the hell down she's no use to you dead'. 'Oh no I pushed him to far, he's gonna kill me'! Fiona closed her eyes with that thought circling in her head. "Your no good to me dead". "huh"? "I'm going to let you go on one condition" "anything! Just let me live" Fiona begged "no more bullshit! I want answers and I want them now." "Okay okay I'll give you the truth no more lies." "Good" and with that he dropped her and let her breath again. "Well start talking" "alrig-" "not here in Moebius they will catch us if we stay any longer" "oh right I almost forgot" during that last charade she forgot all about being captured. While Fiona got the ring ready Tails went and scoured the outer areas "Fiona hurry up Sonics on his way here I can hear him!" "I'm already here Tails." "I know." "Why do you do so much for her Tails?" "This time its not for her" Tails turned around enough so he could turn and stare Sonic in his eyes as he spoke "it is about me and something much bigger." The two had a staring contest until Sonic knew what Tails was planning "your going after Scourge aren't you? Tails, Are you insane! He'll kill you and you know it!" "Maybe, but this is my chance at vengeance and I'm taking it whether you try and stop me or not." "Tails I can't let you go you know that" "yeah that's what I thought you'd say" sighing Sonic told Tails one last thing "I never thought that I would have to fight you to stop you from killing yourself Tails... " With that said Tails launched into Sonic with his elbow driving it into his stomach following up with a kick to Sonic's face, seeing his opponent was winded he went to sweep Sonics feet out from under him but Sonic saw it coming and jumped over the attack and flipped to bring his foot down on Tails's head but Tails had put his hands above his head head to block whilst grabbing Sonics leg at the same. "Oops..." was all Sonic said as Tails hurled him at the the nearest tree. The initial impact of hitting the tree knocked most of his air straight from his lungs as he was partially stuck inside the tree "heh... good one Tails." "But its gonna take more than that to stop me." Before Tails could notice Sonic had jumped from the tree and using his speed ran all around Tails leaving after images attempting to distract Tails long enough to knock him out. "This trick again, please Sonic." At the last moment Tails dodged Sonic's spindash letting him hit the ground at nearly the speed of sound. "Tails the ring is ready come on we have to go now!" Tails took the opportunity seeing Sonic trying to pull his head out of the ground he made a dash for the ring and jumped in along with Fiona.

And done chapter 1 is complete! Apologies for the short and pretty crappy fight scene this is my first story so don't be harsh constructive criticism if any. I want to make this story as good as I can for you guys.
