Taismo Unending

Ch.4

Cosmo, Sonic, Amy and Cream were all talking in the hallway, when Knuckles came up from behind, "Hey guys. What's… Ahh!!! Its Cosmos' ghost!!"

"I'm not gonna hurt you." Cosmo reassured him

"Stay back! I'm warning you!!"

"Calm down knucklehead!" Sonic started, "Why would Cosmo want to hurt us?"

"Because Tails killed her! And we told him to!"

"I'm not here because of a grudge, Knuckles. If you don't remember, I was telling Tails to kill me… It was my sacrifice…"

"Yeah, that's what you want us to think! I'm not falling for another one! Hold up… where's Tails? And Eggman? Or.. the Chaotix? Ahh!! She's started already!!!" He shouted as he ran off.

Sonic, Amy and Cosmo looked at each other, then started to crack up.

"That Knuckles, he needs to get a hold of himself!" Cosmo said as she laughed

"Of course…" She stopped laughing, and her face grew serious, "Now… I have to kill him too…"

Sonic, Amy and Cream looked at her, then at each other, and ran off screaming.

Cosmo fell to the ground laughing so hard that she was crying, "Oh, I can't believe they bought that!"

~~~2 hours later~~~

Cosmo caught up with everyone, and convinced them that she was kidding. They also got Knuckles to believe that she wouldn't kill him, but Tails, Eggman and the Chaotix were nowhere to be found. The group was sitting at a table talking.

"So… Cosmo. You and Tails, huh?" Knuckles asked, sitting as far away from her as possible.

"Yep!" She giggled, "Me and Tails!"

"So, how long have you been in love?" Amy asked

"Well… we just told each other today, but I fell in love with him the first day we met. I'm not sure when Tails fell in love with me though…"

"That's how it was with me and Sonic! Love at first sight!" She stated as she rubbed into him.

"Yeah, right…" Sonic said in reply, and moved away.

Cosmo laughed, "You two would make a great couple!"

"No we wouldn't!" Sonic yelled

"Come on, Sonic! Just say you love me!" Amy pouted

"No way!"

"Stubborn as always…" Amy sighed.

Just then, Tails came running in, with Eggman trailing.

"Tails!" Cosmo shouted.

Tails ran to her, picked her up, flew into the air and spun her around.

"Cosmo!! I did it!!!" He exclaimed as he kissed her.

"You did what Tails?"

"I figured out how to grant your wish!!" He said with a huge smile.

"You… you did?!" She looked at him with awe

"Yes! I had an old project I was working on, but never got it to work. With Eggman's help, I figured it out!" He said very happily as he set her down.

"What is it Tails?"

"Come see for your self!" He said as he grabbed her arm and went for the door. But something along the way made him stop.

"Th… that cant be right…"

"What's wrong, Tails?"

"The.. the clock… it says its 11:57… But….. that….." he looked at his watch, then back at Cosmo with a horrified look, "C…Cosmo….. my watch is broken… there only 3 minuets left!"

"Wha… what?!?!" Cosmo was also shocked.

"Come on! We gotta go!!" Tails yelled as he pulled her arm.

She nodded, and they both took off, with everyone else in pursuit.

They reached a door, and Tails gestured for Cosmo to stay there as he ran in. A few moments later he returned, and had a number of items in his hand.

"Here, take these!" He yelled, and threw out the items to everyone, except Cosmo and himself.

"What's up with the bracelet?" Sonic asked as he starred at it.

"No time, just put it on!" Tails shouted, and they all did.

Tails looked at a nearby clock, and saw there was only 30 seconds left. "Quickly, hit the button on the front!" He yelled, and they all did. A shield formed around each of them once the button was pressed. Sonic was about to ask what it was, but Tails grabbed Cosmo and ran into the room with Eggman following.

"Tails, what's going on?" Cosmo asked as they entered.

Tails didn't answer, and pulled her up to the wall where an x was marked.

"Tails… what's going on?"

"You ready Eggman?" Tails asked.

"I need to run tests first…"

"No time, just DO IT!!" Tails yelled.

Cosmo looked very confused, "Tails, what's going on? What's happening?"

Tails looked at her with a very serious look, "Do you trust me?"

"Wha… what do you mean?"

Just then, Eggman walked up to what looked like a gun turret, and pointed it at them.

"T-Tails?! What are you doing?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Tails…"

"Do you trust me, Cosmo??"

She began to cry, and was very shaken. She didn't know what to say, and was very confused. She looked deeply into his eyes, and could see the fear and concern within.

"…Of…of course I trust you Tails…"

Tails smiled, and hugged her tightly, "Do it!"

"Are you sure?"

"YES!!" He yelled, and Eggman pulled the trigger. There was a loud buzzing noise, and a bright light shot from the cannon.

"I love you Cosmo…" Tails said as the beam hit them. An orb of energy formed around them, and it expanded outward at a fast speed. It consumed the entire Typhoon, and when the light dissipated, Tails and Cosmo were gone…
