Sonic Squad

Season Three, Episode Seven

Watch You Bleed

(We won't bother with the credits. We have too many authors now.)

Let us put our focus to ten years later, where Tails had promised to marry his true love Courtney. But most of all, Sonic and Sally had finally married and became the new king and queen of Mobius. They gave birth to their son and daughter Manik and Sonia, which were soon to be possible heirs as well.

But that to be worried about another time; one day, Rech escaped from prison and was heading straight for Tails and Courtney to extract revenge. Tails made himself ready to fight this menace, and he promised to do anything to protect Courtney from any danger.

Tails, now at twenty years old, became a very valiant and serious fighter. He never gave up on anything until it was finished. Now he swore victory over Rech and full freedom to Mobius.

Tails met Rech in a deep area of the Great Forest, where Rech had already set whatever tree he saw on fire. The sound of fire crackling snapped loudly and echoed as the trees began to tumble down to the ground. Black smoke could be seen many miles away.

"I'm glad you came so we can fulfill our play date," Rech spoke up mockingly. "Our first game will be war, and I'll go first."

"Cut the funny talk!" Tails snapped in reply. "You know why I'm here! You've become a far more deadly menace than your brother once was! And I won't let you push this chaos even further!"

"I can tell you're only worried about HER! You've always wanted her, and so you wish to win her. But I keep getting in the way of things, don't I? You have always been so angry since the day we met, just because you don't get your way…"

"Stop lying, Rech! I won't be deceived!"

"Well then! If you want your freedom so badly, come and get it!"

Enraged, Tails drew out a sword from his secret sheath and struck out at his new worst enemy. He had forged himself a sword when he was sixteen years of age. For about five years, he had used his new weapon to defeat whatever evil was in his path. Only now, his anger went past the limits; he became TOO powerful of a warrior.

Rech was quick enough to wield his sword and deflect every blow that Tails brought upon him. "That's it…" Rech thought secretly. "Use your hatred… Soon you would become as powerful as my brother once was!"

Tails unleashed his anger upon Rech; all he cared about was taking him down to his death. But looking back, he should not have been fighting him in the first place. Tails could not shake the past; he could still remember the roaring sounds of the Roboticizer, and the screams of his mother.

He kept on slashing until Rech's face was full of scars; he really wanted to fulfill his promise for Courtney and end the terror of the Straggon terrorist once and for all.

"Well done, boy!" Rech teased. "But you're not trying hard enough!"

With that, Rech continued to cut Tails here and there, forming open wounds that oozed out blood. Tails' torment continued as lashed out at his opponent and made the final kill. He successfully stabbed Rech in the stomach; he thought that it was over once he saw the blood ooze out of his chest. But Rech did not give up; he got back up and went on with the fight.

Tails tried a second time and again stabbed the Straggon. Rech went down again, being in more pain than ever. He cried out in anguish as he tumbled to the ground. But it was another failed attempt; Rech again got back up to his feet. He began to lash out as violently as Tails, changing his mind about his plan.

"Never mind him being my apprentice!" he thought. "I want to send this killer to death where he belongs!"

But no matter how hard Rech tried, Tails kept on HIS fury as well. He stabbed his opponent for the final time, bringing him down to his death. Rech's stomach bled even more; he took his last breath as his eyes closed, his heart giving up and his life fading away.

Tails had won the battle, but not before making one of the biggest mistakes of his life. He had let his emotions cloud his judgment. It cost him, but it cost someone else even more. He turned and suddenly saw Courtney lying on the burning ground, her chest bleeding due to the many shards of wood that scattered from the opposing blows. Tails' control over his sword went wild, resulting in the chopping of many nearby trees; the splinters blew everywhere and stabbed into Courtney.

"Courtney!" Tails exclaimed in fear as he ran over to her. He knelt down and removed as many splinters from her body as he could. "Please don't die, Courtney!"

"I'll be alright…" Courtney whimpered in reply. "I really don't want to blame you for all the trouble. I still love you…"

"Courtney… What is wrong with me? I can't seem to control myself…!"

"Tails, please! That doesn't sound like you…" With that, she suddenly bent up and kissed Tails full on the lips. The tingly feeling made him forget about what had happened that, day that he became fully engulfed in the moment.

"Courtney…" Tails thought silently as he kissed on, "…I'm sorry about what I did… I promise you that I will become a better warrior… I will protect you with everything I have… I promise…"
