Chapter -9-

Fang was not moving…I couldn't go check on him due to the gun pointed directly at my head. I raised my hands and glared at the twin tailed fox.

"How could you kill a Mobian? How could you kill one of your own?" I screamed, which caused the fox to flinch. I took that chance to grab him.

"You are our enemy. I was defending myself! You were hunting me down…what was I supposed to do? LET you take me?" The fox then spit in my face. As I wiped his spit away he took a swing at me and I almost lost my hold on him.

"Let me go! I do not have any interest in joining…whatever it is you are."

"What are you talking about? I am Prince Elias…we are fighting to destroy Robotnik and make the planet safe for all human and Mobians alike. I am trying to help the planet, not destroy it!"

The fox really looked at me for the first time and realized I was indeed who I said I was.

"Elias? Brother? It IS you! Oh my Gods! I thought you were a death squad sent by Robotnik…ever since that failed mission we all went on a few months ago…things haven't been the same…Freedom Fighters have been dying every day…they've been relentless…Your sister had sent me on a mission to hunt down their base…but I've been unable to find it."

Tails then closed his eyes. "I…I killed your friend…I am sorry. I just…thought…"

I shook my head. "Fang seems to be alive. We need you. However, I think it takes more than one blaster shot to kill Fang….although he will need medical attention."

Tails looked at Sean quite oddly for a second. "Prince…why exactly do you have a half-naked human out in the snow?"

"He has been altered to not feel cold nor heat. He is a perfect warrior that I trained in my own fighting style."

Tails continued to look at me oddly. "Why do his eyes look so strange?" Tails started to back away. "Why do YOUR eyes look so strange? Something is really wrong here…Prince? What exactly happened to you on that failed mission?"

Before I could speak I heard Fang growl and pick himself up off the ground and grab Tails.

"M-Master…I…have…completed…mission…" Fang said in his monotone voice.

"MASTER?" Tails yelled. "Elias…what have you done? What are you? What…happened…after…that…mission…TELL ME!"

"I don't remember much from before…but one thing I do know is my sister sent us all out on a foolish mission that was unwinnable. She allowed all those killed to die…she let my friends die and left me for dead. My Master saved me…made me whole…taught me many things…We will rule the planet as slave and Master…"

"That…isn't what happened…who told you that?" Tails mumbled.

I noticed Fang beginning to weaken. He had lost far too much blood. "The Master…and I trust him far more than you!"

Fang was really starting to look bad. We had to end this quickly.

"And now it is time for you to join me." I looked to Sean and he nodded. "Sean, give him the serum. We have talked enough. Tails must become one of us…and if he won't join willingly…then we will make him join us."

I watched Tails's eyes widen.

"What are you going to do to me?"

"He will make you whole…make you feel unbelievable." Fang growled.

Sean grabbed Tails by the arm and injected him with the Master's serum. It would only be a matter of time before Tails would no longer fight my control and would be my newest slave. The Master would be pleased. I just hoped Fang would survive his gunshot. He was not looking good at all.

"Fang, once this is over, you need to get back to the base and let the Master fix you."

"I will obey. The fox should be changed soon enough."

Tails managed to break free from the weakened Fang and stumbled into me.

"Elias…how…how…could you…do…this…to…me…"

"It is what I am commanded to do. I must obey. Just like you will soon be doing when I command you."

Tails collapsed into my arms and I laid him down on the ground.

"Fang, go home and get healed." I commanded.

Fang nodded. "I…will…go." Fang ran off into the trees and I couldn't see him anymore after a few minutes.

Sean and I stood around the unconscious fox; waiting for him to turn. Sean turned to me and I patted him on the chest. He smiled and turned back to watching our new slave change.

Within the hour Tails began to stir again.

"Tails. Are you ok?" I asked.

The boy's eyes shot open when I talked to him. He then stood and inspected his body.

"I seem to be fine. What happened? The last thing I remember is talking to you…then everything went blank."

"You were very tired. I think you've been up far too long. We found you out here and I had asked you to join me and my other slaves. You never answered me. Are you going to join me and my slaves?"

Tails thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes…I will join your slaves. I struggle to think on my own…I need a Master…I need you."

"That's right Tails, you need me. I complete you…your mind is foggy isn't it?"

"Tails nodded. "My mind is foggy…I need you…"

Tails's eyes became half-closed and the fox was completely under my power.

"Tails, come to me, allow me into your mind."

Tails walked slowly into my arms.

"Tails, submit to me fully. You want to be mine forever."

"Yours…forever…I am…yours…forever. I am your slave. You are my Master. I will obey."

Tails looked up at me with full focus. His eyes looked just like my other slaves. I knew he was mine.

Tails was a little different than what I remembered. "Tails, when did you bulk up? Last time I saw you there was no comparison in your physique."

Tails ran his hands down his body. "Does my Master approve? Before I became your eternal slave, I was one of the last important commanders in the Freedom Fighter army. When you disappeared I was thrust into a higher position and I took a genome serum to make my body stronger and my mind faster. Although now my mind is yours…as is this body."

Tails puffed his chest at me and smiled. "I know I am still not nearly as strong as your human or wolf warriors, but I swear I can be useful in other ways. I know technology and am great with guns…please keep me with you…don't make me become a background piece like I was most of the time with the others. I love you…make me part of your army."

I rubbed Tails's chest and abs. He was a strong boy. Tails smiled as I touched his body.

"Master…thank you…" Tails said as he put his head on my chest. I continued to rub his head and he purred at this. "Master I will never leave your side. All I can even think of is how to obey your every word."

"Good my slave. Now, join Sean as I have commands for you both."

Tails nodded and ran to Sean.
