Chapter 9

"Kai, you are incredible man." Knuckles said as he gave knuckle bump "So how's Tails?"

"He's alright for now" Kai said as he gently rested him on the ground. "Too bad, I can't heal him since I spent most of my energy towards those clashes."

"Uh young man your eyes are still um." Miss vanilla began as Kai had on his dark eyes still

"Oops forgot ." Kai said as he closed his and reopened it forming back his normal eyes. "Hm?"

"What is it?"

"Someone is coming right this way." Kai said as he got a big hug from...Kate?

"Grr you are ...you!" Kai said as he looked into her blue eyes "Katherine Lucia!"

Then the red gem that was on the ground started to orbit around the two.

"Hey it's a Nova Emerald...The Elite fire heart gem...My tribe symbol." She said as tears started to fall from her eyes as she hugged him.

"Ow hot hot hot!" Kai said as the hot like fire tears dropped on to his shirt.

"Sorry. You know about my emotions."

"Yeah little sis...so what are you doing here?" Kai asked her as he rubbed his eyes.

"Watching your fight." Kate said as she squeezed Kai tighter. "So when did you get here."

"I remembered being in a pod and crashing here but...before that I can't recall." Kai said as he pried himself from Kate's grasp.

"Hey there young lady...is that your brother?" Miss Vanilla said as she went closer to them.

"Yes Miss...you look a lot like Cream."

"Hey Guys." a familiar voice said as he landed near him.

"Sonic you're alive!"

"Hey there big blue." Rouge said as she helped up Shadow. "What took you so long?"

"Just had to rest." Sonic said as he walked up to Kai. "Thanks for the save."

"Huh? Oh no problem there Sonic"

"Yeah...so is my brother alright?" Sonic said as he picked Tails up.

"Yeah tired but he's alright." Kai said as he handed her the red gem. "Kate can you heal them all?"

"Sure I still got plenty energy left." Kate said as she waved her arms over them.

…..

After they were healed, Sonic decided to call a meeting at cream's house and went to Tails house to let him recover.

"Kai I want you to be there because you're the one that stopped him easily." Sonic said to him

"Alright...anyways where are we going?" Kai asked as they walked toward town

"My house ….my daughter would be very happy to see me again." Miss Vanilla said happily as they headed toward a house near a sort of highway and hill side area.

"Yeah..." Kai said while thinking on what happened during his battle against Tails

"Kai is something on your mind?" Kate asked him

"No not really" He said while giving her a smile.

"Okay big brother." Kate said as she didn't believe Kai because...he was a terrible liar.

"Mommy you're back" Cream said as tears started to fall. " All thanks to mister Sonic isn't it?"

"No...It was Kai." Miss Vanilla said as she hugged her daughter. "Sonic couldn't beat Eggman so Kai gave him a hand.

"Humph." Amy said as she looked at the scene. "Why do they think that the kid is stronger than my Sonikku!"

"Cause he is..." Shadow said as he and Knuckles entered the house and immediately went to the living room.

"Hey Amy Cream get inside...Kai and his sister are coming." Sonic said as Kai and Kate entered the house.

Immediately Amy changed her views on Kai. Besides having a handsome face and high class body, she saw Kai as a quiet and dedicated person who won't hesitate to protect his friends in need.

"Hey." Kai said as he gave her a grin.

"Oh hi" Amy said as she followed them inside.

Rouge and Knuckles sat near a window while Cream sat near her mother on the couch. Amy and Sonic shared a love seat which Amy tried to smooch him. Shadow stood in a dark part of the room while Kai and Kate stood in the middle.

Sonic then closed his eyes and a serious look appeared on his face when he opened them back.

"Well most of you know what happened to Tails today...But I still can't believe that I said that to him." Sonic said with sorrow in his voice.

"It's not your fault Sonic...you also suffer from Cosmo's death." Amy said to comfort him

"Yeah but...I never lost anyone in my life." Sonic said as he looked at Kai.

"That's what you get for holding back your emotion...you eventually crack under pressure" Kate said as she looked him in the eye. Don't worry though we'll help you get through this Ok?"

"Yeah." Sonic said as he turned towards the others. "Well Kai seems as though you don't know much about us."

Sorry but it's a bit rude to not say my name"

Kai said as he watched over them. "The Name's Kai...Chaos Kai Neo."

"Well Kai please to meet you I'm Amy Rose the hedgehog and future wife of Sonic!" She proclaimed.

"Uh yeah." Kai sweat dropped as he looked at Shadow.

"Shadow the ultimate life form." he said from the dark corner.

"Cream the rabbit."

"Miss Vanilla."

"Rouge the bat"

"Knuckles" Knuckles said as he gave Kai thumbs up

"Uh Okay...Listen hear ….I think your friend Tails is not only turning into to the beast like today." Kai said as he looked at them." but his abilities have been developing since he went Overcharge state...a unique style that is."

"Huh I still don't get what an Overcharged State means." Knuckles said. "I mean I know how much power it has since he defeated..."

"No Knuckles." Miss Vanilla said as she listen to what Kai has to say. " Let's not bring that up please."

"Yeah so an Overcharged State is basically a state of overpowered aura and energy being released at a massive amount at the same time when enraged." Kai said as he showed them his aura. "Now these can manifest its self as a inner- how you say side in the individual." " However these things are not something to mess with since it can quickly adapt to battle. Only people who have lost loved ones or in Tails case lover has that kind of strength ."

"How did you know that?" Shadow asked as the others looked surprised.

"Well ...let's say I had an encounter with Cosmo in her overcharge state as well" Kai said with a weak grin "Don't really want to talk about it."

"What?" Amy nearly screamed at Kai

"Easy Amy chill let Kai finish." Sonic said

"I didn't believe it myself as Sonic was referring to a weaker than Cream." Kai said

" After she saved you weak self...However her aura was as high as...Tails or more."

"What do you mean more?" Knuckles Asked as Rouge gave him a grin making him uneasy

" As high as ...maybe mines...Hm" Kai said thoughtfully to himself. " Anyway one quick question why does Tails have scars on his hands?"

"You noticed that too?" Miss Vanilla said in the calmest voice she had

"He's been hurting himself hasn't he?" Kate said as Kai gave her a confused look "so he has been in depression for the time she died..."

"Miss Kate we tried to make him feel better but...we tried to bring him to the parks, places he loves to visit but nothing seems to work."

Cream said "We went over to his place and tried to cheer him up."

"Have left him alone to let him grieve for himself for the time she died?" Kai asked as he watched the room. "Or let him face the problem on his own"

"N-no Mr Kai."

"Well that's the problem...some problems are best left alone sooner or later it will go away" Kai said before opening his mouth to yawn

"What Kai's saying is that you have sort over did it with the cheering up..."

"There is a time and place for everything. time to grieve and time to enjoy life to the fullest" Kai said as he twirled his swords around. "However Sonic, it seems as though you want him to forget her...Why?"

Sonic only watched the ground and was afraid of looking at Kai in his eyes.

"I-i don't know Kai but..."

"Just answer the question Sonic." Shadow said in a demanding voice.

"I-i j"

"I what?" Kai said in a cold tone that made everyone stutter in fear. That moment told everyone that Kai means business under his goofiness. And that's one thing that made Shadow began to respect him for.

"I just want him back the way he was...his geek talk which I can't quite understand, our adventures we had to together..." Sonic said as his voice began cracking up. "I really need him back."

"Yeah, but do you know what he wants?" Kai said in a warmer- non- threatening voice.

"I just want things the way they were before."

"Wrong answer Sonic... I'll ask again." Kai's cold voice came back. "Do you know what he wants?"

"Ye-" Sonic began

"No lies" Kate said as she rubbed her nose. "we just want the truth."

Sonic then realized he never knew what Tails actually wanted in his life. Has Cosmo given him what Tails actually wanted in life or is it something else? Sonic never really stayed long enough to better understand his little brother... was it that he was the fastest thing alive and a hero at heart that he couldn't read his brother at all... after all those years.

"Kai ….No." Sonic said as he hung his head lower. "I guess i've become...isolated from him

"Well sorry to make you feel bad but it was the only way to understand. "Kai said warmly as he touched Sonic on the head. "You see Sonic if you taking your time to analysis the situation, You can figure out what Tails is really feeling."

"Shut up Kai!" A voice said

"Hm?" Kai was a bit confused for a moment

Amy suddenly dashed up to Kai with a hammer in hand and tried to hit him

"Amy don't!" Kate Yelled as Kai drawed out one of his swords.

"Swoosh!" Amy hammer hit Kai and she ran behind him

"Humph not so tough… eh?" Amy was startled by the sight.

"Hm? What?" Kai face showed as he was clueless.

Amy's hammer was cut in half. From the head downwards.

"Kai...You got to be kidding me." Knuckles said

"If I pushed my blade at least 3 more degrees it could have slice you." Kai said causally as he placed back his sword in its case. "Now Tell me the story of how she died and what happen before we arrived."

"If you are in a mood to be sad then-" Sonic said as he slowly looked at Kai

"Just tell the story man." Kai said as sat near Miss Vanilla.

…...

After 2 hour of talking about what happened, Kai and Kate felt sorry for the guy and his loss.

"But what I don't get is how can you not beat Dark Oak?"

"I don't know ok?" Sonic said as he had sorrow on his face.

"That's why you lost to Tail...Twice!" Kai said as they looked at each other in sorrow. "You think being a hero is all about the fame...you're wrong. " Kai said as his aura started to cover him. "Seems as though you forgot what you were fighting for."

"Easy there Kai…don't let your emotions get to you." Kate said as she touched him on the shoulder. "And that's three times."

"Sorry about that."

"But what do you fight for huh Kai?"

"I only fight for the sake of my friends and will not fight unless attacked on"

So what are you saying that you are a pacifist?" Sonic said "Man you so"

"Me weak...you better get your facts straight Sonic." Kai said sternly

Sonic gulped and watched his teammates.

Then the phone rang and Cream went to answer it. Few minutes later she returned and spoke to her mother

"That was an odd question…Hm…." She said after hearing about conservation

"Well Kai...it seems as though we might need your abilities and your experience." Rouge said

"Because these days Sonic and the rest of us got beaten not only by Tails, but some alien life forms attacked us after our victories."

"Hm...I'll look into the matter"

"Sure...Hm?" Kate said as she noticed Kai nearly falling down. "Kai what's wrong?"

Kai coughed for a bit before his eyes narrowed "Wait he's not serious about…." Miss Vanilla cried as she helped Kai up. "Sonic, Amy you got to get to Tails house now!"

"Grr Tails he's doing something stupid right now" Kai said as he got back up.

"What?"

"Oh no we have left him alone that means"

"He's cutting himself huh?" Kate said as she turned to Sonic and Kai "We got to do something now! Or else he'll regret it"

"Sonic let's go for him now!"

Sonic said nothing before rushing out of the house and breaking the Sound barrier

Kai then grabs Amy and followed Sonic.

Please let us be not too late

Tails slumped against the doorway of the bathroom with his arms outstretched and...covered in blood.

"S...soon I shall be with you ...Cosmo" Tails said weakly as he slowly dropped the medium sized 8 inch knife from his hands.

As he began to slowly enjoying the pain that seeped from his veins, his vision became blurred and his breathing became less, he was wearing a smile on his face, thinking about his love...Cosmo. And the last he heard was the sound of Sonic and Amy opening the door and screaming.

Alright no Encyclopedia until further notice so we will have Characters Bio session.

She may be the youngest but it is advised that you don't want her fist colliding with your face. A healer and a mixed martial arts, She makes sure that everyone is up and healthy. She's often nice and polite, but on her bad days she often has a bit of sadistic nature as she prefers to roast her enemies alive. Beware Eggman as your life is going to be hectic.
