Sorry that it took me so long to update, but I have been busy all week. Anyways this is a request by zippy the hedgehog. Sonic will be 12 and Tails will be 5.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the hedgehog and never will.
It was a sunny day in the Mystic Ruins and not a single sound was heard except for coughing coming from a small house on top of a hill. The residents who live there are the famous hero Sonic the hedgehog and his adopted little brother Tails.
As of right now both brothers are in bed feeling very ill. Their once blue and golden fur had turned a dull gray color. Yesterday they went to a abandoned city called Sapphire City to get a Chaos Emerald that was supposed to be there.
The reason why Sapphire City was abandoned is because of a terrible epidemic that occurred 20 years ago which caused the death of over 80,000 people. The disease was given the nickname "The Bloody Death."
The Bloody Death was a deadly virus that destroys anything inside the body that it comes in contact with. When someone had The Bloody Death, than they would die in just 3 days. The worst part is that there is no cure for The Bloody Death.
The symptoms of The Bloody Death are coughing, vomiting blood, muscle pain, chest pain, seizures followed with convulsions, migraines, low energy, skin/fur turning a dull gray color and finally death.
The Bloody Death was thought to be wiped out years ago, but it has been proven to be still air born in Sapphire City because anyone who went to Sapphire City came back with The Bloody Death.
Unfortunately Sonic and Tails knew nothing about the history of Sapphire City and The Bloody Death. So when they arrived there to look for the Chaos Emerald, they didn't know that they breathed in the virus.
It wasn't until a few hours after they came home that they noticed that they were ill. So both of them went in their rooms to get some sleep thinking that after that they would feel better. However the next day that did not happen and they wanted to go to the hospital, but the low energy symptom kicked in and they were too tired to move.
Every second both brothers felt themselves getting weaker and weaker. Sonic feared what might happen if Eggman were to attack and he wasn't there to stop him.
Dr. Eggman's Base
Dr. Eggman was sitting in his hovercraft staring at the security screen waiting for Sonic and Tails to show up. Yesterday he sent a letter to them saying that he built a new machine that would finally get rid of them. For a full 12 hours he had been staring at the screen.
"What is taking those two fleabags so long? They should have been here by now. They always come within a few hours after I send them a letter." Eggman thought to himself.
Eggman was thinking what he should do before a thought came to him. "Metal Sonic, report to me at once!" Eggman called out.
A few seconds later Metal Sonic walked into the room Eggman was in. "Yes doctor?" he said in his normal monotone voice.
"I want you too go to Sonic and Tails' house and see what they are doing." Eggman said.
Metal Sonic cocked his head. "May I ask why sir?"
Eggman slammed his hand on the side of his hovercraft. "They were supposed to have come over here hours ago and they didn't arrive! So I want you to make sure that they aren't fooling around and decided to ignore my challenge to face me!"
Metal Sonic nodded his head. "Yes sir I will comply." with that said he activated his thrusters and flew out of Eggman's base heading toward the Mystic Ruins.
Metal Sonic arrived at Sonic and Tails' house in just 5 minutes. Landing on the ground, he walked up to one of the windows and peered in. The window he was looking in was the living room window. When he didn't see them he decided to activate his heat sensors.
Detecting two heat signatures upstairs Metal Sonic decided to investigate. Flying up to one of the windows upstairs he peered in. He saw Sonic laying on his bed, noticing that his once blue fur was now a dull gray color.
Circling around the house, Metal Sonic came to the window in Tails' room. When he looked in he saw that Tails looked the same as Sonic.
Metal Sonic activated his communicator. "Sir, I found them."
Eggman's voice came from the other end. "Good, so what are they doing?"
"Well both of them are laying on their beds asleep. However they appear to be sick because their fur is now a dull gray color." Metal Sonic said.
Eggman was silent for a minute before he spoke again. "Metal Sonic, I want you to scan them and determine what's wrong with them."
Metal Sonic blinked. "Um sir, not to offend you, but you seem to be more concerned about them, rather than trying to kill them."
Eggman growled on the other end. "Don't question me! Just do it!"
Metal Sonic obeyed and scanned both Sonic and Tails. After a minute the scan was complete and he got the results of their condition. "Well it appears that both of them have some kind of virus that is destroying their bodies from inside."
Eggman took in everything he was told before he made a decision. "Alright, I'm on my way over there now, so wait for me to get there."
"Yes sir." Metal Sonic said deactivating his communicator. He didn't understand why Eggman was coming over, by the way his voice sounded Eggman wasn't coming to kill them at all.
It didn't take Eggman long at all to arrive in his hovercraft. When Eggman landed, he got out of his hovercraft carrying a First Aid Kit and a small silver suitcase. The silver suitcase contained many different kinds of tools that scientists use for experiments.
Metal Sonic landed as Eggman walked up to him. "Metal Sonic, I need your help. I need you to make sure both Sonic and Tails stay asleep while I work." he said opening the suitcase up and took out two syringes containing high doses of Morphine. He handed one to Metal Sonic.
Metal Sonic hesitated for a second before he took them. He looked at Eggman with a confused expression. "Are you trying to help them?" he asked.
Eggman didn't say anything at first. "Well yeah I am. If anyone is to kill them it would be me and not some kind of illness."
"What makes you think that they will die?" Metal Sonic asked.
"I know what they have. They have The Bloody Death virus. Yesterday there was a Chaos Emerald in Sapphire City, and I didn't want to go down there because of The Bloody Death virus still being air born." Eggman replied.
"So why help them? Knowing them, they could easily get over this virus." Metal Sonic said.
Eggman shook his head. "People with The Bloody Death virus, always die and not to mention that there is no cure or treatment for it. How do I know this? Because I was around at the time this happened. The virus didn't just stay in Sapphire City, it went worldwide before it supposedly died out."
Metal Sonic nodded his head understanding everything except for one part. "Why even bother helping them if there is no cure?"
"I can try to find a cure. With my smarts, I should be able to figure it out. That's why I want you to keep injecting them with Morphine so they won't feel any pain. I mixed other ingredients in with it to make it stronger and knock them out at the same time, Now you keep Tails from waking up, while I'll keep Sonic from waking up while I'm working on him." Eggman said.
Alright then, let's not waste anymore time and quickly get this over with before they wake up." Metal Sonic said. With that said Eggman quietly opened the door and tipped toed upstairs to Sonic's room while Metal Sonic went to Tails' room.
When Metal Sonic arrived in Tails' room, he was thankful that Tails was still asleep. Walking up too Tails, he took out the syringe and quickly injected the tampered Morphine in his neck. He watched as Tails moved for a second before he stopped.
Meanwhile with Eggman, he walked in Sonic's room moving quietly until he was standing over Sonic. Taking out his syringe with tampered Morphine he injected it in Sonic. After that he took out a alcohol swab and a needle used for taking blood and got to work.
With Metal Sonic
Metal Sonic was still watching over Tails. He was uncomfortable watching over one of his enemies and the thought of his creator helping out the people he hates the most confused him. Eggman told him that he wanted to kill Sonic and Tails himself, but he didn't believe that one bit.
After awhile Metal Sonic became bored of watching Tails, so he decided too explore Tails' room. The first place he went to was Tails' closet. Walking up to it he opened it up to see what was inside.
The closet was bigger on the inside than the outside. There was many metal parts of different shapes and sizes. The thing that stood out the most was that the metal parts were all paired up with sizes similar to their own.
Shutting the closet door Metal Sonic shook his head. "Somehow I'm not surprised. He is always organized unlike Eggman." he said to himself.
Metal Sonic walked up to Tails' nightstand and picked up a picture frame that was next to the alarm clock. He saw that it was a picture of a 9 year-old Sonic giving a thumbs-up and winking at the camera with a 2 year-old Tails sitting on top of Sonic's shoulder copying Sonic's pose.
"Hmm I got to admit that looks kind of cute, wait what am I saying? How could I think that's cute?" Metal Sonic said to himself.
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud beeping noise coming from next to him that seemed to get louder. Looking at the direction the noise came from he saw that it was Tails' alarm clock going off. The clock read 5:00 pm and Metal Sonic must of figured that Tails had set the alarm at that time.
Metal Sonic looked at the alarm clock trying to figure out how to turn it off. The alarm was getting louder and was driving Metal Sonic nuts. After a few more seconds, Metal Sonic smashed the alarm clock with his fist destroying it. When this happened Tails twitched a little in his sleep.
Metal Sonic stared at the destroyed alarm clock. "Um, maybe I kinda over did it a little."
"What do you mean a little?" a familiar said from the doorway.
Metal Sonic turned around to see Eggman giving him an annoyed look. "Err, I can explain?" Metal Sonic tried to say.
Eggman sighed and shook his head. "It doesn't matter anyway because I finally figured out a way to get rid of the Bloody Death virus. I'm creating a vaccine now. I just need to let it set for a while. Now since you destroyed Tails' alarm clock, you need to go get him another one."
Metal Sonic nodded his head before he opened Tails' window and flew off into town. He came back in 15 minutes with a alarm clock that looked exactly like the one he smashed. Setting it down on the nightstand he plugged it in and set it to the right time.
Eggman finished making the vaccine to cure the Bloody Death Virus. Putting some of the liquid inside a empty syringe, he walked up to Sonic and injected in his neck. Stepping back he watched as Sonic's dull gray fur was now changing back to his normal blue color.
Eggman nodded his head before he went into Tails' room. When he arrived he saw Metal Sonic sitting on Tails' nightstand looking at Tails.
Upon hearing footsteps Metal Sonic turned too see Eggman walking in holding the syringe in his hand. He was glad that Eggman finally finished making the vaccine because he was tired of "babysitting" Tails.
Eggman went to Tails and injected the vaccine in him. Like with Sonic, Tails' fur changed back to his golden fur.
Eggman sighed. "Well they are going to be just fine. Now all they need is some rest and by tomorrow they will be back to their normal selves. Now let's get out of here." with that said both Eggman and Metal Sonic took off back to the base.
The next day
Sonic slowly opened his eyes and sat up groaning. "Man what a headache I have. Wait a minute I don't feel sick anymore! I wonder what happened?" it was than he noticed the small needle mark on his right arm from when Eggman took his blood.
Sonic looked at it for a while before he shrugged not paying any mind to it. "I better go see if Tails is alright." he said getting off his bed and walking into his little brother's room. When he arrived he saw that Tails was already awake and was staring at the ceiling in deep thought.
Upon hearing footsteps Tails turned to see his older brother standing in front of him. "Hey Sonic, I see that your feeling better already."
Sonic nodded his head. "Yeah I am, but I have the feeling that we didn't get over the disease ourselves."
Tails tilted his head. "You too? I thought that I had gone crazy. I also could of sworn that I heard a smashing sound."
Sonic rubbed his chin. "Hmm, I also could of sworn that I heard voices, but it's not important as long as we are alive right?"
Tails grinned. "Yep as long as we're alive and well that's all we need to know."
While they were talking they didn't notice that Eggman and Metal Sonic were outside Tails' window watching everything that was happening. After watching for another minute Eggman and Metal Sonic took off again.
I spent 3 days doing this chapter. I kept deleting and rewriting it at least 5 times. Also for the fact I was online trying to find a good deathly disease and after a full day of searching I decided to make up my own. I don't type fast just so you guys know. Anyway I'm not proud of the chapter so, please don't point that out because I already know.
The Bloody Death Virus is a made up virus that is based off of the "Black Death" aka the Bubonic Plague.
