Sonic's Motives

Tails was still quite shaky. He tried sitting up, but his back felt like shattered glass. He noticed several bandages around his arms and his ribs, and he could feel one wrapping around his head. "…." Tails was still confused about what happened. 'D-Did someone save me?' he thought. He felt a pain in his spine, so he laid back and observed the house he was in. It looked quite cozy. There was a fireplace in the main room he was in. Along the walls were several practical souvenirs. Tails judged from this that whoever lived here had quite a lot of adventures. Tails saw what looked like a jet propelled surfboard, and smiled. "Nice…." He said to himself. "So, you're up eh?" a voice behind him said. Tails turned slowly to see a large Bandicoot with a metallic arm. "Who….are you the one that saved me?" Tails asked. Crunch shrugged. It was my little sister that did the saving, I helped with the bandages. Oh, by the way, I'm Crunch." Crunch said. Tails smiled. "I'm Miles, but please call me Tails. What happened to your arm?" he asked. Crunch raised his Metallic arm. "I can't help it, I wasn't born with this. Some crazy sci-guy stuck it on me." Crunch explained in his Mr.T like accent. Tails let out a small moan of pain and lay back down. Crunch thought it would be best to leave him to rest.

Crunch went outside. Coco was in a deck chair with a Shade Umbrella above her. She was looking out to sea. She had a worried expression on her face. Crunch walked just beside her. "I-Is he okay?" She asked. "He just woke up. He's called Tails. He sounds pretty wreaked, but he's okay." Crunch told her. "Oh thank goodness…Crunch can you be a real help and get Crash, Polar, Pura and yourself to get his plane…please?" Coco asked Crunch. "Easy, you can go and check on him if you want, he's a nice guy."

Coco nodded. Crunch went to find Crash. He eventually found him by the plane crash site. He had a face on like 'What the hell?' He saw Crunch coming and turned to face him. "What the heck do we do with this?" he asked. "Coco wants us to lug to the garage. I have a feeling she wants to repair it for the little guy." Crunch replied. Crash bent down on his knees to inspect the craft. "What confuses me is, is that me and Polar searched the whole thing, and there's no trace of any other person ever being in this plane. What was the kid doing in this all by himself?!" "I expect we'll get answers in-depth when he gets better."

A group of different animals stood in a row, eagerly watching. Among them stood a Hedgehog, a Rabbit, and Echidna, a Bat and a normal human. Something was glowing far way in front of them. There was suddenly a large explosion. "Whoa…." Rouge smiled. "Sonic sure knows how to finish with a bang." "Well of course he does!" Amy Rose stated. "He is my Sonic." Cream and Cheese sighed. "Um...you do know he's not technically yours Amy…" "Chao Chao."

Something golden flew towards them. "It's Sonic!" Amy squealed with joy. Everyone cheered. Sonic landed, his golden fur went back to blue. His head hung. He didn't seem happy. In fact, everyone could see tears in his eyes. "Sonic?" Amy ran up to him. "Sonic what's wrong?" "T-Tails….he's gone…" This announcement stunned and silenced everyone. "Wh-What do you mean…gone?" Chris Thorndyke stuttered. "O-On the way to Eggman's base…Th-the tornado was taken completely by Surprise. The engine was destroyed. I...I tried all I could to save him…." Sonic breathed heavily through his distraught. "Sonic…." Amy whispered. She pulled him into a hug. Sonic didn't try to get away from her, like he usually did.

Later, everyone was talking about Tails's seemingly immediate demise. Sonic was in his room. Rouge walked by Sonics room. Her ears twitched slightly. She could hear something. She heard laughter. In his room, Sonics tears had turned to laughter. "He he…oh geez, this is too easy. Finally, that two tailed freak is out of my way.."

Rouge couldn't believe what she was hearing. She opened the door. "Well hun, seems your true colors have finally surfaced.." She growled. Sonic turned to look at her. "So, you heard all of it…" He smiled. Sonic suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Rouge He reached for a gun under his bed. He pointed it at Rouge's head. "erk….d-don't hurt me…" Rouge wimpered. "Here's what I'm up to, I want it to be like the olden days…just me and Eggy." Sonic growled. "B-But…P-lease don't kill me…I-I'll do anything.."

"Anything...?" Sonic smiled evilly.

Coco walked slowly into the main room where Tails was resting. Tails was still awake. He had a lot on his mind. He couldn't remember what happened to him. He could still remember who he was, and where he came from, unfortunately. He didn't exactly have a childhood to be proud of. "Um…hello?" Coco said quietly. She was feeling rather shy for some reason. Tails turned his head slightly. 'That's the same girl I saw earlier before I crashed….but…but what caused me to crash….I...can't remember' Tails thought. "H-Hi…And you are?" Tails asked. "I'm Coco...my brother said you were Tails." Coco said. "Y-yeah…" "You alright? You sound really shaky." Coco knelt down by the sofa. "I'm fine…." Tails smiled shakily. He sat up slightly. "Tails…I just want to know what actually happened, like what were you doing in a plane by yourself?"

Tails was silent for a while. "Can't you remember?" Coco said. "I-If I had something to jog my memory…"

"Hey you two." Crash came in. "Tails, this is my other brother, Crash."

"Hey, we found this in your plane," Crash reached in to his pocket and pulled out a sparkly green emerald. "A-A Chaos Emerald!" Tails gasped. Every little detail about what happened in the sky came rushing back to him. Tails blinked. "Tails?" Tails seemed slightly startled.

"I…I remember…" He said. His fist crunched up into a fist. "He….Sonic…" he growled silently. "Who's Sonic?" Crash asked. "The coldest blooded backstabber I've ever met…"
