Chapter 7: How It Happened And A Choice
Tails got up looking around and trying to see who on the shield and he glance back to look at Sonic again. Sonic started to collapse to the ground but was able to keep himself awake. Tails screamed
"SONIC! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"
Sonic groaned and said weakly
"….Tails…..Get out… of here….."
Tails was crying and said
"No, I won't leave without you!"
Above them a door opened and someone was descending down to the ground and he said
"Well! Well! Well! What do we have here? Isn't this very touching?"
Tails turned around and recognise that voice anywhere; the one and only . Tails yelled at him with uncontrollable rage
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO SONIC!"
laughed and said
"I bet you mistaken my young fox! I merely did nothing but saved him!"
Tails yelled back
"DON'T LIE TO ME! YOU ONLY CAN BE THIS CRUEL!"
Sonic looked up and tried to stand but the best he could do was to lean against the wall. Sonic said weakly
"…Tails… He …..is….right….. He saved me…"
Tails turned around, stunned for a moment and Tails was starting to realise what really happened. Tails said
"You are the one that rescued him from the trench!"
grinned and begins to explain
"You finally realised that? Haven't you? And yes I was the one who merely rescued him and I was driving around my Egg-Carrier and saw something by the trench. It was Sonic on the rock at the middle of the trench. His condition was not good at all. It seems he's been poisoned and I brought him back to my secret base quite nearby. Then I had this brilliant idea! Sonic will be held captive while I need you to do something from me!-
Eggman began clicking a button on a remote and a door from below opened and revealed a golden robot. On top of it was a small control room with a seat. The robot was shaped like a human and was like one of those 'Transformers'. Eggman continued
"You see, I need this robot fixed because my grandfather built it but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it! If you don't your friend here will be in a very tragic death! You see I gave him a serum that will prevent the poison from attacking and also preventing him to die for only 4 days, maximum! And today is the final day! It won't be too soon until the poison kills him! That's why he is so weak because the poison is still within him. So if you help me fix this then I might heal him with this!"
He revealed a small vial with antidote with his hand.
Tails POV
I was trembling, I didn't know what to do but I don't want Sonic to die! I closed my eyes and replied
"Alright, I will do it!"
I could hear Sonic said
"No! Don't do it! You have no idea what he is going to do!"
Eggman said
"Excellent choice! Come this way now!"
He showed me the tool box and I got to work, fixing the wires and control panel. That's all it needs actually. Once I was done, I turned to Eggman and said
"I fixed it! Now heal Sonic!"
Eggman replied with a smirk
"I have to make sure it really works first!"
He climbed in his Egg-Carrier and flew to the top of the robot where the control room is. He climbed in and started pressing buttons. I glance back to look at Sonic, he was really weak and he seemed worried and yelled
"Look out Tails!"
I didn't understand him at first but I felt a sharp blow at my head.
Everything was black…..
