Chapter 10

At the alter on Angel Island

All was quiet as knuckles was lying down asleep on the stairs as usual when he was awoken by a strange noise being given of by the master emerald.

"What's going on" knuckles said as he got up and went over to the master emerald to see why it was giving of this strange noise. As he looked at the master emerald he saw the colours change to revel a image of tails house

"why is the master emerald showing me this, well what ever it is it can't be good" knuckles said as he ran down the stairs of the alter and off the island towards ails house.

At tails house

Cosmo and tails were sitting on the sofa waiting for the pizza to arrive. Tails was playing online on call of duty 4 wile Cosmo was watching how good he was

"Yes UAV" tails said down the mic as he activated it

"What's a UAV?" Cosmo asked looking at tails

"A UAV is basically a radar which allows me to see the enemy's position on my map" tails explained wile keeping his head fixed on the screen. Cosmo continued to think to her self about how nice tails was for letting her stay and giving her such a fantastic room. Cosmo looked over at the clock to see he time, it was 11:00 now the pizza was suppose to arrive one and a half hours ago. Cosmo was now really hungry but she didn't want to stop tails playing because he looked like he was have so much fun so she just slipped off the sofa and in to the kitchen to make something to eat. Tails continued playing not noticing Cosmo had left the room. Tails was instantly snapped back to reality when he herd a scream come from the kitchen which made him drop the controller and run through the house to the kitchen he was horrified by the sight that stood before him. A cloaked figure stood directly in front of tails it was at least 7 ft tall and covered in darkness. The figure was clutching Cosmo around the neck choking her as it held her high of the ground.

"So you are tails you are very well know in my clan" the figure said in a dark and sinister voice

"PUT HER DOWN!" tails yelled in a desperate and fear filled voice

"You mean this girl here" he said as he tightened his grip around Cosmo's neck casing her to gasp for breath as she squirmed around trying to get free.

"YOU MONSTER!" tails yelled as he ran up to the dark figure lunging his fist forward aiming straight for his chest but as soon as he made contact the figure disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. Tails looked around him but the figure and Cosmo were no were to be seen. A sinister laugh began to ring through the house it was coming from every were. Tails ran through the house searching every room there was but no sign of Cosmo or the dark figure

"WHERE ARE YOU!" tails yelled in anger as the sinister laugh continued to ring throughout the house. Tails ran out the back door on to the runway to see the dark figure still clutching on to Cosmo's neck. Just then knuckles ran up the side of the house on to the runway next to tails

"What is going on?" knuckles asked in confusion

"We have to save Cosmo!" tails yelled as he pointed down the runway towards the dark figure. Without saying a word knuckles ran up to the figure throwing his fist forward towards the demon. Before he made contact the demon waved his hand in the air and knuckles was thrown back up agents the wall of tails house by a wave of physic energy. Knuckles recovered quickly and without a second thought charged at the demon agene but with the same result. The demon waved his hand two times throwing tails and knuckles up agents the wall pining them there as if they were shackled to the wall.

"LET HER GO!" tails yelled at the top of his voice as he desperately tried to break free but with no success.

"Well if you insist" he said as he waved his hand wrapping Cosmo in a physic grip which made her unable to float through the air as he let go of Cosmo's neck dropping her over the edge of the cliff.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" tails screamed as he franticly tried to break free, tears running down his cheeks. The demon began to walk down the runway as he looked up at tails and knuckles

"Well my work is done but that doesn't say I can't have a little snack" he said reviling a set of vampire fangs. He continued walking closer and closer to tails and knuckles who were still pined to the wall. He came closer and closer every step he took echoed silence all around him. He came just two feet off of tails and stopped to examine his prey. The demon licked his lips as he lunged forward at tails but before he could clam his prize his entire body burst in to ash. Behind him stood a dark tall figure dressed in dark clothes with a black over coat on starching all the way to the ground his hair was long and black and hung dead striate down his shoulders he wore a flat top hat which hid his eyes from the world. In one hand he had a just fired crossbow still pointing to were the demon once stood and in the other hand he was holding on to Cosmo who he had caught just before she hit the ground. Instantly the telekinetic grip that was holding tails and knuckles was released and the both fell to the ground. Without a second thought tails ran up and hugged Cosmo as tight as he could never wanting to let go. Tails looked over at the person who had just saved Cosmo, he had put the crossbow back in the a holster on his back was a sword that was at least two meters long and was about a foot wide. He was kneeling down by the ashes of the just fallen vampire looking through the ashes for the wooden steak he had fired at the vampire piercing its hart and burning its soul to a smoulder.

"Who are you and why are you here?" tails asked. The person stood up and tuned around so he was face to face with tails and began to speak

"I have no name I am only know as brimstone and I am here to protect you from the Armies of the underworld" he said tails then noticed something he hadn't seen before. Brimstone had the half life symbol on his chest.

"Your one of the kycheen" tails pointed out

"Yes freeman sent me here" brimstone said as he looked around a bit then spoke agene

"Let us go inside we will be safe, for now."
