Chapter 11
Sonic is trying to stay ahead of the three Assyrians, but they are gaining on him. He hears the one on his left, the one who looks like he was touched by Death's cold embrace, is moving in. As soon as the Assyrian was within reach, Sonic turned on him and kicked him off of his board. The Assyrian yelled in agony as he hit the ground hard. He rolled into a wall and remained motionless as the other two rode past their fallen comrade.
Tails, in his red and black gear, was gaining on Sonic, but Neil moves in front of him for he wants to defeat Sonic himself.
Sonic turns around and shouts, "Oh, what are you going to do, Renegade?!"
Neil smiles maliciously, but Sonic only sees his eyes move for the rest of his face is concealed by his gold mask.
Neil yells out, "Rangers! Move in for the kill!"
Sonic looks around him and the foliage is… moving. He starts to focus on the movement and sees that they're Assyrians… Assyrians in green. These ones have this ability to just… blend in with their surroundings.
As the rangers moved onto the track, Sonic sped up to put some distance between him and them. The rangers just as easily sped up and caught up with Sonic. Sonic faced one of the rangers and saw him pull out a sword… a sword that looked like it was made from Mother Nature herself.
The Assyrian swung at him and Sonic ducked and sped up to get away from the homicidal rangers. The rangers quickly sped up and were in hot pursuit.
Tails looks at Neil and yells out, "What the hell are you doing? They're going to kill him!"
Neil starts to laugh. "That's the idea boy! Everyone who opposes us will die! Just like the Babylonians!"
Tails suddenly asked in confusion, "Like the Babylonians? I thought they attacked us… The Assyrians started the war?! You led me to believe that the Assyrians were the righteous, but we were the invaders! I will not belong to a group of… barbaric mongrels!"
Neil sighs in frustration. "Then I guess you will have to die as well!"
Neil moved closer to Tails and pulled out his shock staff. He lunged at Tails, but he missed for Tails' board was designed to avoid incoming threats.
Neil shouts in anger, "Damn it boy! I should have killed you the moment you came into our base! Just like I did to the previous leader of the Pure Bloods!"
Tails yells out in shock, "You… you killed my father?!"
"You idiot! Alex was ordered to tell you that bogus story! Your father was never a glorious Assyrian! He was an unworthy Mobian! And you will die as one too!"
He swung again, but Tails was anticipating the attack and kicked the center of the staff which caused it to shatter. Neil screamed in pain as 10,000 bolts of electricity went coursing through his body. Tails watched as Neil leaned back and forth and finally fell to the ground below.
Tails sighs in relief as a great threat has finally been defeated. He grabs his mask and throws it to the ground below, along with his cape. He looked at Sonic and sees that the rangers had stopped attacking him and had retreated back into the foliage. Tails looks at his watch and sees that Alex, who had been knocked off of his board, had sent a message for all Assyrians to regroup at the warehouse.
Tails sighs in relief again. 'Well, I guess I better explain myself to Sonic. He needs to know why I left.'
He speeds up and starts to slowly gain on Sonic.
A/N: Sorry if it took me awhile to update. I had some serious writer's block and... well... now I don't... ok then. And I introduced the rangers just because it would make an interesting twist... sort of twist... it would be more exciting to put them in! R&R
