YES!! I AM STILL HERE!! Sorry about not updating for a long time, but this was a critical school time for me with midterms, not to mention other stuff that came after, plus college things and my work. So now our stories will continue as they are suppose too. We got a few new reviews so welcome to the story for all of you new guys.
Plus, I had to wait forever to get this upload because of the tech glitch.
In other news, Sonic Unleashed is…average. No surprise, although Black Knight looks interesting, I have no high hopes (I'm naturally pessimistic). Sega, when will you ever get your cool back on? Seriously.
Also, this is important. The time between here and next chapter is the last amount of time you can suggest music for the Sonic and Siles(Tails) fight. After I post the next chapter, no more ideas will be taken.
Well, nothing else to say, but read on!

Chapter 10: The Tomb of the King
(In a desert, somewhere in Downunder)
"Come on you lazy bums! Dig through that rock! What are we paying you for!?"
"Hurry up! Come on!"
"Move it already! We got a deadline to keep!"
In the middle of a desert, one of the most fascinating and experiencing jobs was being done.
That is if you like researching about ancient dead people while digging in hot yellow sand and most likely not finding anything that will be useful.
Yep, it's Archaeology.
Large groups of Mobians were around a large dig sight with every dirty looking desperate person for money digging up sand and rock, while others just as desperate were moving the stuff. The only ones not working were three stereotypically dressed archaeologists. A male buck with glasses on and a hat with holes for his antlers, a white duck with a red beak and a monocle, and a brown mouse/cat hybrid whom had the ears and tail of a cat, the body and eyes of a mouse. They were ordering the men who were digging for them to hurry up, much like your average evil demonic boss.
"God, these blokes can't dig for shit. Ask them to dig for a grave and the body would be rotten before it got in the dirt." Said the hybrid with a British accent as he wiped off some sweat from the burning sun and headed into a tent.
"Well, they are tired." Said the duck with a normal one.
"So am I. 45 days we've been out here digging and all we see is sand sand and more bloody sand." He said before taking a bottle of water and putting it down.
He stared at it.
The duck noticed this and went over to him, "What's wrong."
"Look at this."
He did.
The water was rumbling.
"What do you make of that?" Asked the hybrid.
The duck's eyes widen, at once he ran out of the tent and shouted, "EVERYONE OUT OF THE DIG SITE NOW!! EVERYONE OUT!!!"
Although they were confused at first, they happily replied.
But soon it was replaced with surprise and confusion as the earth started to shake slightly at first then harder and harder.
Hard enough that some of the land was sinking
"EARTHQUAKE!!"
That was enough to have the men run for their lives. Just when they all made it out, the dig sit and 40 miles of it was broken up and sand shot out everywhere.
Everyone got down on their stomachs and closed their eyes as the earthquake spread the sand everywhere so that it was almost impossible to see, but from the noise it sounded like the earth was caving in on itself.
This kept going for a few minutes till the noise stopped and only the dust was left.
Everyone got up and coughed a bit before looking to see what had happen.
What they saw made them all gasp.

BLOODTAIL: THE DEMON HUNTER
Disclaimer: The author owns nothing that is not his….
(Outside the Mobian Inquisition HQ in Knothole, a week after the last chapter)
BANG! BANG! BANG!!
"Wow…"
Siles smiled as he put Ivory back into its holder, "The next lesson is learning how to use these."
Siles was in a firearms range with Hanyo watching him. Siles said it was time to work on weapon training now that Hanyo was getting good control over his demonic power.
"Now most demon hunters think old style and focus on close range combat only, but if there's one thing that I learned is that the further you are, the better." Said Siles as he handed him a laser pistol.
Hanyo took it in his non-demonic hand and said, "Don't you think I'm a little young for this?"
"Well, if you were any other normal kid I would keep a gun away from you till you were at least 17, but since you want to be a demon hunter it's better to start of young." Said Siles letting Hanyo get in front so he could practice.
"Now relax and stay firm. It's got a kickback so you'll feel your arm go numb after a few shots." Said Siles
Hanyo aimed down the room where a target board was and fired, the kickback was more then he expected and his hand shot back and up while the shot missed completely.
"See, it takes some getting use too. Just make sure you don't shoot anybody by accident. Got it?" Asked Siles.
"Got it." Said Hanyo nodding.
"Showing your apprentice how to shoot?"
Siles looked behind him and saw Rotor walking towards him with a cigarette in his mouth.
"He's not my apprentice. But he's doing well." Said Siles, "What's up?"
"Bunnie wanted to see you. Said she's got a message." Said Rotor puffing out some smoke.
"Great, I bet it's another mission." Said Siles with a yawn.
"Not getting enough sleep?" Asked Rotor.
"No….I get my…neighbors…causing noise every night."
Or at least since we picked up Nevan.
You're just jealous that you can't be with us when we rock the bed all night. Said Sparta in his head.
It wouldn't kill you to take it down a notch when you, Cerberus, and Nevan go at it in my head every night.
Come on fox boy…you know I need my daily medicine once and awhile. Said Nevan with a luscious tone.
I still don't understand how a demonic knight, a vampire, and a three-headed huge dog can have a threesome. Ugh, the images.
Just go get your message. Said Cerberus.
"Hey! Siles? You alright?" asked Rotor who saw him space out
"Yeah, I'm off. Watch over the little guy will you?" Said Siles walking away.
(Bunnie's room, Mobian HQ)
"Come on! Open wide! Here comes the yum yum train!" Said Bunnie with a jar of baby food in one hand and a metal spoon in her metallic one. The metal hand was trying to send the spoon into the mouth of a certain prince of Mobius on his royal highchair, but he was refusing like all kids do.
Bunnie sighed, "Sugar, you are as stubborn eating as your daddy. I don't suppose if this was chilidog flavored you would eat it faster then a second."
Hermes only giggled, enjoying her frustration.
Knock Knock!
"Come in!" Said Bunnie putting the baby food down for a second.
Siles entered the room, which he found to be like his apartment almost, only it was a bit cleaner then his.
"Hey Bunnie….and hello Hermes. What's he doing here?" asked Siles who was surprise to see the hedgehog/squirrel hybrid.
"Sally asked me to baby sit him while she's busy at a meeting. I've been trying to get him to eat his lunch, but he's being hard to reason with." Said Bunnie.
Siles walked over and smiled at the baby who giggled and smiled back, "He's got his father's stubbornness I guess."
He smiled and turned to her saying, "You said you had a message for me?"
"Yep, Zazamel has a new mission for you. Something about you and Amy helping out in Downunda." She said.
"Downunda? Haven't been there in a long time." Said Siles remembering the times he went there both before and after his "death". "So what is it?"
"Don't know, but it must be something if it's got you and Amy involved." Said Bunnie.
"Why does it have to be big?" Said Siles.
Bunnie smiled, "Everybody's calling you two the perfect team. You're being well known despite being a half demon."
Siles smirked, "Hey, I don't lie when I say I'm the best and Amy can hold out in a fight."
Bunnies then extended her smile, "Are you two…more then a team?"
Siles blushed, "N-n-no…we're…w-we're just friends."
And I'm a two-ton gorilla. Thought Bunnie, who knew better.
"Whatever. Anyway, I need to see Zazamal for a favor so I'll come with you." Said Bunnie.
"But who's gonna watch him?" Asked Siles pointing out to Hermes.
"I asked somebody to watch over him…"
Knock knock
"…and there he is." Said Bunnie walking over and opening the door.
"Hey Bunnie! I brought wine!" Said Jake who appeared with a wine bottle in his hand.
"Jake I said I need you to watch Hermes for a few minutes, nothing else." Said Bunnie flat tone.
"Wait?! Jake! You're asking him to watch the Prince of Mobius? You might as well ask Hitler to take care of an Orphanage for Jewish kids, it's crazy." Said Siles, "I mean the guy can't even look after himself."
"Hey! I can take care of kids!" Jake said.
"Yeah right. You don't know anything about babies." Said Siles.
The human walked over and said, "Trust me. By the time your gone I'll have this kid finish his baby food faster then you finish your meeting."
"Whatever. Let's go." Said Siles as he and Bunnie left
(Meeting room)
Zazamal stood in a simple large meeting room with a large screen behind him. In the room were Siles, Amy, and Bunnie in separate seats.
"Here's the situation. About 2 days ago, an archeological dig was occurring in Downunda, headed by Doctor Amos Regal." Said Zazamal as a picture of the a white duck with a red beak and a monocle appeared. "He and his crew were digging far deep in the desert when they stumbled into something."
The next scene made the others look at it with interest.
It was a temple, nothing they had ever seen before. It was like the Roman Parthenon, but 100 times bigger combined with a look of the Abu Sembei Temple of Egypt. The entire stone color was pitch black with red symbols and statues of old gods the Mobian's worshipped. There were also a passage of pillars in front of it and a large canyon of rock that was unleashed by the quake surrounded all of this.
"So what are we looking at?" Asked Siles.
"This is the tomb of the first King of Mobius, King Waithbane." Said Zazamal, "The professor asked us to send it's best agents for protection for a certain amount of time until the National Mobian Museum of History send in more help."
Ring any bells? Asked Siles to his demons.
No. They all said.
"Why not just ask other guys? Why us, we're demon killers." Said Amy.
"There's also another reason, Waithbane was said to control powers of darkness and death. It's how he managed to rule Mobius with such will. There may be a few things the Inquisition can use or should get rid of if they're too dangerous." Said Zazamal.
Amy and Siles looked at each other, "Alright, but one thing. I want to bring Jake."
"Why?" Asked Amy.
"Jake's an expert in demonology and he's studies Ancient Mobian so he should be of some help." Said Siles.
"Alright, three tickets to Downunda. The professor will meet you at the airport in Drisbane. Dismissed." Said Zazamal.
As Amy and Siles left, Bunnie went over to Zazamal and said, "Have you done what I asked?"
"Not yet, it's going to take some time." Said Zazamal with a frown.
Bunnie nodded.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to do this? If the council knew…"
Bunnie frowned, "We need their help….I can't tell anybody else about this because it's important that they help us out. We fought side by side with them once, we have to do it again."
Zazamal nodded, they need all the allies they could get. The Echidna's were only friendly with them, but there was a small chance the old alliance could get back. Humanity would be a great option, but the Council kept that from happening. They were running low on options.
"I better get going. Tell me if anything changes." Said Bunnie who left.
Zazamal sighed, "Let's hope they do….for the better."
(In Bunnie's room)
As Bunnie was about to enter her room she heard a loud series of laughs coming from inside. After she opened the door she started laughing herself.
Jake was covered, from all over, with baby food thrown from a laughing Hermes.
"That thing is a devil…." Said Jake with a mumble as he watched a laughing Siles roll on his back while Amy was trying to keep standing.
"HAHAA!! OH MAN!! HAHA! OH! HAHAHA I TOLD YOU!!!" Said Siles laughing.
"I WISH I HAD A CAMERA! HAAAHAHA!" Amy laughed while holding her stomach.
Jake sighed and gave a fierce look at Hermes who just smiled at him.
"I'll get you. You little rug rat." Said Jake.
"Hey, he maybe a rug rat, but he's my rug rat." Said a familiar voice.
Everyone stopped laughing to see Sonic walk in smiling, "Wow, not even I had that much on me when I tired to feed him the first time."
"Great, I feel so much relieved." Said Jake as he walked out to clean up.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Siles in a neutral tone.
Sonic smirked, "Just picking up my son. And why did you stop laughing?" He said as he picked up his son, who was happy to see his daddy, and smirked at Siles.
"I saw something that just killed humor itself for me." Said Siles.
"And that would be." Said Sonic.
"A blue figure that has the ego of a thousand hot heads." Said Siles.
"Hey, I didn't come for a fight." Said Sonic frowning.
"Whatever." Said Siles walking out.
Sonic shook his head, "Why does he hate me? What did I ever do to him?"
Amy shook her head, "I don't know what you did to him, but I know what it's like to hate you." Amy said with spite before moving out of the room too.
Sonic sighed and looked at Bunnie, "And you? You hate me too?"
Bunnie said, "Sugar-hog, if I hated you why would I take care of your son? You gotta learn to think."
Sonic gave a sad smile, "Yeah….I just feel everyone's against me here….Siles, Amy, Knuckles, even the people I rule over and care about are giving me the bad looks."
Bunnies said, "You think everybody's just going to love you because you're Sonic the Hedgehog? Hero of Mobius? Sugar, you gotta get the respect of people first before that."
"Okay so why do you, Amy, and Rotor all go friendly on Siles when you only have known him for a while? And yet while me and Sal try to make things up we get shoved down on the ground like dirt." Said Sonic with some anger in his voice.
"We all make mistakes….we can't always fix them, but we can try to do things that can make us get past them." Said Bunnie who walked out of her room.
Sonic thought long and hard.
(Later at night)
Knock knock knock!
"Coming…."
Jake opened his door to see, to his surprise, Sonic outside his apartment. Jake had his night robe on and looked like he had been sleeping.
"Sorry, Jake was it? I know you must have been sleeping, but I need to talk to you." Said Sonic.
"If it's not about women or sex, I'm out." Said Jake who wanted to sleep.
"I need to talk about Siles." Said Sonic.
Jake raised his eyebrow, "What about? He hates you and that's all there is."
"Yeah I understand, but how can I stop making him hate me so much? How do I get his respect?" Asked Sonic, he had been thinking about this all day and decided to try and get Siles to respect him at least and start from there.
Jake smirked, "There's something you should know about Siles. He's very limited on people he respects and is even more limited on people he trusts."
"That's obvious." Sonic said while rolling his eyes, "He treats me like I'm a SWAT bot or something."
"Okay, first thing. Siles cares nothing about titles. Meaning he doesn't care if you were King of Mobius, King of the world, or just a poor guy. He looks at people's personality and their actions."
"But I got a great personality! Sure I get on people's nerves, but come on! I rarely ever get hated." Said Sonic.
"And that's why he hates you." Said Jake.
"Huh?"
"Your egotistical, you can't deny that. You also think your speed makes you who you are; you hide behind your power and think you can do anything with it because of what you did in the past against Robotnick. You think you can do almost no wrong, but you have made mistakes." Said Jake
Sonic looked down on the floor, "Yeah…..I have…."
"As for your actions, you haven't done anything that Siles thinks should help Mobius. Because you're a king you got political power, but your not using it and are instead letting people like the Council use it." Said Jake.
"Well, I'm not good with all that stuff….usually I lead that to Sal." Said Sonic.
"But Sally has one weakness, she's afraid to fail. You think you can't fail, and when you do, you feel confused and afraid." Said Jake.
Sonic was silent.
"You rush on ahead and don't think of the consequences. Siles can't stand that. He's seen things, done things, and made mistakes that got him and other people hurt and even killed." Said Jake, "He knows he can fail a mission, but he's not afraid to face that failure and instead doesn't hesitate and plans ahead."
Sonic smiled, "You make him sound like a hero."
"Weren't you doing that to your self just now?" Said Jake, "If you want to get Siles respect you got to get your actions right. He knows you got the heart, but that's not enough…at least in his eyes."
Sonic nodded, "Thanks….I know what to do."
"Why is it so important that you get his respect anyway?"
Sonic thought back to when they first met, "When he mouthed off at me and Sally when I met him…it was like those words were all true…in a way I want to show him I'm not like that, but I also want to show myself. It's kind of weird huh."
Jake nodded, "Yeah, but so is talking to you, downtown, at 3 AM. Now get the fuck out before I slam the door in your face."
Sonic nodded and sped off.
He knew what he had to do.
(Two days later, Brisbane Airport in Downunda)
"That was the worst flight I had ever had in my life." Said Jake as he got into the terminal carrying a lot of bags.
"Come on, it wasn't that bad." Said Amy also carrying a lot of bags, including a big long case almost the size of her body.
"Are you kidding? I thought I would die from the food they gave us. Ugh." Said Siles who stuck his tongue out, he only carried his usual gear.
I agree, I can taste what ever you taste and I say that was shit on a stick. Said Sparta.
"Not to mention that stewardess hated me! She slapped me five times on the whole flight!" Said Jake.
"That's because you slapped her ass five times." Said Amy bluntly, "Come on, don't you guys think your being a little bit over on this."
They stared at her and Siles said, "Amy, they played High School Musical 1, 2, and 3 as the in-flight movie, including the sing and dance along parts."
Amy thought about it and said, "Alright, your right. It sucked."
The three of them continued to walk through the terminal, it was kind of rusty and old looking with very few people around. However, those few people were giving them the stares, including at Jake.
"Why are these people staring at me?" Asked Jake, who felt uncomfortable.
"Because your ugly." Said Siles.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, it's because you're human." Said Siles, "Humans aren't normally seen in Mobius, unlike in the human lands where it's not that uncommon to see Mobians."
"Are they looking at me with hate or curiosity?" Asked Jake.
"Maybe both, some mobians don't really care about the difference between humans and overlanders, to them they are all the same." Said Amy who looked at what Jake was wearing and asked, "Say Jack, why are you carrying all that stuff."
"It's all the books I could bring, plus my laptop. It carries all my information on ancient languages and demonology." Said Jake, "It's my profession anyway."
A male dingo in simple clothes then walked over and said, "Smile!"
Flash!
The group shook their eyes after the surprise camera attack and walked away ignoring the dingo that was asking if they wanted to buy a copy for 15 dollars.
As soon as they were a distance, the dingo took the camera and attacked it to a PDA via wire. He touched something on his ear and said, "They're here."
"Are you sending the picture?" Came another voice from receiver in his hear.
"Yeah, it's uploaded right now." Said the dingo that waited while the other person then said.
"Well…the human and the fox I don't recognize…but I do recognize the pink hedgehog…"
"Who is she?"
"Amy Rose. Former Freedom Fighter, now a member of the Inquisition. I dealt with her a few times. This makes things more interesting."
"Does the plan change?"
"No…. just come back and get ready."
(Outside the Terminal)
The three of them got outside and called in a cab to take them to their destination, a hotel where the professor would be waiting for them.
After they packed their stuff and climbed in the car, Amy asked, "So how did you two meet?"
Jake and Siles chuckled as the cab drove on.
"That's an interesting story." Said Jake, "See, I was studying demonology in college when Siles came to visit."
"I happen to know some of the guys who taught there." Said Siles
"Yeah, so I meet him in the halls and this guys got all these mobian girls around him like he was some big shot. And me, being the mobian girl lover that I am, was jealous."
"So he asked me later in the day to let me teach him how to get my own kinds girls."
"He wanted me to help him with a case he was dealing with in return."
Amy was confused, "Why did he ask you when you were just a student, why not a professional?"
Jake smiled, "Because I was better then all the teachers, I knew more about demonology then anybody at that school. I earned all those special awards and honors. I was number one and everybody knew it."
Amy nodded, "So did his help work?"
"No, well kinda…see we went to a bar and we did meet up with this hot looking wolf girl, but….." Said Jake.
"Turns out she was an succubus in disguise." Said Siles.
Amy looked surprise, "Siles…don't tell me…"
"That he used me as bait to get her? Yep." Said Jake laughing.
Amy asked, "So then what happened?"
"Well, just as we were about to have sex, he comes in, shoots her to death, I see her demonic form, freak, and I pass out." Said Jake.
Amy then asked, "So how are you guys friends? I mean, I would hate somebody who did that with me."
"He made it up to me by smuggling me in Mobius." Said Jake, "Now I could look at all the furry girls I wanted."
"In return he helps me out with my work." Said Siles, "Besides I needed a contact in Mobius anyway."
As soon as they finished their story, they arrived at the hotel.
They got out and were surprise.
"What a piece of junk." Said Jake.
The hotel was a piece of junk, it was small, worn down, old, and had cracks everywhere.
"The neighborhood isn't that great either." Said Amy looking
It was a slum like area with poor houses, dirty looking people, crappy environment and trash everywhere.
Kind of looks like Alabama. Said Cerberus
Which city? Asked Nevan.
Does it matter? Asked Cerberus.
"You sure this is the place?" asked Jake looking around.
"Yeah, this is it according to the directions. Let's get our stuff and see what's inside." Said Siles.
After tipping the cab driver, they headed into the hotel where at the front desk was an old beaver guy with lose teeth.
"Excuse me." Said Siles.
"…yeah…"
"Is Doctor Amos Regal here?"
The guy just pointed to the lounge where a white duck with a red beak and a monocle was reading the paper.
Amy walked over and said, "Doctor Regal?"
He looked up and smiled, "Yes?"
"I'm Amy Rose of the Inquisition, this is Siles Drowler a demon hunter and Jake, a human who knows demonology. You asked for our help?"
He got up with joy and said, "Yes I did. Thank you for coming all of you. Did you have a nice flight?"
Does a convict enjoy prison? Said Sparta in Siles head.
"Not really. Shall we head out now or are we doing that tomorrow." Said Siles.
"Tomorrow, we still need to wait for the last one." Said Doctor Regal.
"Last one?" Asked Siles.
"Follow me." He said as they walked down a long hall where the rooms where.
"You see, me and my friends, Doctor Zon and Doctor Herman, decided to hire three outside help and take them with us all together." Said Doctor Regal.
"We were never told that." Said Amy while looking at the others who were confuses as well.
"Well, I didn't tell you because I thought it wasn't a big deal." Said Doctor Regal.
"Doc, everything is a deal to us, especially information about other people were working with." Said Siles seriously.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to cause trouble. Anyway, one of them, another demon hunter, arrived and were still waiting on the last group now that you're here." He said as he stopped by room 1189 and opened the door.
When they entered there were two other mobians in there, the mouse/cat hybrid and the male buck, sitting on a small couch drinking tea.
"Ah, Regal. I trust these are the ones you hired?" asked the hybrid getting up.
"Yes. This is Amy Rose of the Inquisition, Siles Drowler who is a demon hunter, and their friend Jake who will help us in the tomb." Said Doctor Regal.
"Nice to meet you." Said Siles nodding.
The hybrid nodded, "I'm Doctor Zon, the head researcher of this project. This is Doctor Herman, a fellow scientist."
"How do you do." The buck said while drinking his tea.
"We are trusting you to protect us for the time being and we also ask that you follow ever order we say. I don't want something being screw up because none of you listened to your employer." Said Doctor Zon.
This guy should be Doctor Asshole, here we are about to risk our lives to help him and he's acting like he's got a stick up his ass. Thought Siles, who wasn't too happy about this guy.
What do you expect from a high-class rich snob who thinks because he went to college he knows everything in the world? Said Sparta.
"Well, trust us. Your safe." Said Siles.
"You said you were a demon hunter, Mr. Drowler?" Asked Doctor Herman.
"Siles please, or Bloodtail."
"Yes, well, the man I hired is also a demon hunter. Maybe you know him?"
Siles and the others were surprised. "I might." Said Siles, "Who is it?"
Just as he was about to answer, the door opened again.
"Sorry I'm late. It's hard to find a good coffee place in this town, but then again it's not like I'm expecting Starbucks."
Siles's mouth went wide, inside his head Sparta was shocked.
"Vess?!"
"Siles?"
Vess, was a tall yellow furred lion mobian with steel titanium patted knight armor all over his body except his head on with red cross on the shoulders, back, and legs, as well as a hole for the tail. The armor was tough, but also made to fit with the skin so it gave a lot of movement. On the back was the Zweihänder blade, Requiem; the weapon that Siegfried Schtauffen uses as his beginning weapon in Soul Caliber 3.
The two of them smiled and pumped fists. Siles spoke first and said, "Vess! Man I thought you were dead! Ever since that mission in Vimit you went missing with half of that squad! I though for sure…."
"Naw….I was wounded, but I managed to make it to safety. I had to rest a while though, took a few years, but I was back on track." Said Vess who looked at Siles with great respect and said, "And look at you. "Greatest Demon Hunter on Earth". Man, that's a title I though I would never have seen coming, and to think when I first met you, you were just as green as they come."
"And look at me now."
"Yeah look at you now."
Jake got in front of them and said, "Yeah, how about you guys tell us a story as to how you know each other before I get confused."
Siles nodded, "Amy, Jake, meet Vess. I only met him for a few days, but he's a great Demon hunter."
"Nice to meet you." Said Vess smirking.
"So how do you guys know each other?" Asked Amy.
"It's a long story." Said Vess.
"We got time, the guy I hired doesn't want us to meet him for another two hours." Said Doctor Zon.
"I'm interested as well." Said Doctor Regal.
They all sat down on some chairs while Siles started out, "It was around my first year of really being a demon hunter, around the age of 15…I joined up with a collation that was seeking to end a group of cultists that were summoning sand scorpion demons in a desert near a city of Middle Eastern civilians. The collation contained a lot of demon hunters, some new and some veterans…. I was one of the greens…"
Flashback
(2 years ago, somewhere in a desert)
We see a much younger Bloodtail traveling through the sand with a few other demon hunters with him, some human and some mobian. He still had the same clothing he still had now, but it was smaller due to his size. The Rebellion sword was still on his back, but it was a bit bigger then he.
"Hey junior! Hurry it up and move it!" Said a raven in a cloak with charms on around it.
"Yeah, just because you're a kid doesn't mean you can slow down for the rest of us." Said a human in dark protective high gear with tons of guns.
"Shut your fucken mouth! I'm going as fast as I can." Said Bloodtail who kept moving though the dunes.
"And no complaining! I don't want to hear you say stop because you got take a piss either!"
The others laughed.
Bloodtail cursed his luck, not only was he being made fun of for his age and size, but the guys around him were all big shots thinking they were better then him
I may be new, but I still can fight well. He thought.
That's right kit, you can handle more then these punks can. Said Sparta in his head.
Yeah, not only are these guys just plain human, but they weren't taught by a demon knight who's famous in the history books. Thought Bloodtail with a smile
Aw, I'm going to blush. Said Sparta.
The group then arrived in a small area full of ruble that went up past their heads.
They agreed to stop for a rest so they begun to talk among one another, Bloodtail however, had a bad feeling.
Something's wrong, it's too big of a place for an ambush….anybody can just look at us from a long distance and….
BAM!
"AUGH!"
"HOLY SHIT!!"
"…waste us." Finished Bloodtail before he hid behind a pillar for cover.
Gunshots started going around, the group scattered or got shot one by one as the shots continued to fire.
Bloodtail tried to see where they were coming from, but it was hard to do that with so many guys running back and forth like headless chickens.
"Shit! Where are the-AUGH!" Shouted Bloodtail who got shot in the head and fell down on his chest.
Thankfully, since he was a half demon and the shot was just a simple laser, he really wasn't hurt too bad and could live. However, he saw nearly all the others in his group fall down one by one by their snipers.
Shit….what do I do…I don't think I can take this many enemies…not with anybody else…
Quick, play dead. Then when those snipers are gone, you get your fuzzy ass out of their ASAP. Said Sparta.
Bloodtail nodded and proceeded to do so, hoping that the snipers wouldn't check the bodies or shoot them again just in case.
Even though his eyes were closed, he still heard the remaining shots and screams before a deadly silence.
It went on for a while….then he heard footsteps.
They were close but not close enough, and they spoke in a language he didn't know. It sounded like it was a demon language.
Let's hope you can act dead really good. They're going to check to see if they got everyone.
Bloodtail didn't have to worry, back when he was training in the Junior Freedom Fighters they taught you had to act dead in front of a SWAT Bot should you happen to come across a situation similar to this, reason being was the SWAT Bots couldn't scan life form pulses so you could fool a couple of them. The Freedom Fighters had used it a few times to distract the SWAT Bots so the others could accomplish their mission or fool Robotnick into thinking he defeated them so they could get a surprise attack when his guard was down.
Bloodtail hoped this would work for him too, as he felt the footsteps of a person near his body. He tried to hold his breath and his heartbeat, but that was almost impossible to do.
Just as it seemed he would be found out, the footsteps walked away and Bloodtail relaxed.
Your lucky, stay like that for a half an hour, then open your eyes to see if the area's cleared.
(Half an Hour later)
Bloodtail stood up and felt a little sick from seeing all his group members dead with holes. Sure they were jerks, but still…
Hey! More time you spend wasting around her, the less you will have getting back to camp!
Bloodtail agreed, he had to get back to the campsite now.
After carefully looking at the area, he stared heading back the way he came. About half an hour later he saw something in the distance, using his enhanced sight he saw a mobian, a male lion, wounded and on the ground of the desert. Near him were two large red scorpions with blood red eyes. The scorpions were about 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, each with two pincers and a long deadly tail with poison.
Shit! He's in trouble. Thought Bloodtail who got his sword out.
Wait, let the scorpions approach him first. Said his demonic teacher.
What?! They're going to kill him! He said as he dashed forward.
Siles wait!
The scorpions ran at the wounded lion.
"HOLD ON!!" Cried Bloodtail.
Then to both his and the scorpions surprise the lion jumped up and shouted, "Hello lovelies!"
He took out a Zweihänder blade from out of the sand and with two swift slices, cut the two sand demons in half from the waist.
Bloodtail ran over to him in surprise, "Your alright!?"
"No thanks to you. I was hunting those two for a while now, decided I should let them think they were the hunters before I got them." He said putting his sword away and looking at Bloodtail, "Aren't you a little young to be here on your own?"
"What difference does it made between you and me." Asked Bloodtail.
"I got permission to be so, I doubt you do."
Bloodtail sighed, "Your right, my squad was just ambush and I managed to escape. I'm Siles Drowler, but you can call me Bloodtail."
"Vess White, nice to meet you." Said Vess, "Shall we head to camp then?"
Bloodtail nodded, but then heard some chilling shrieks around the area.
"I think we should do that after we've taken care of the pack that were about to face" Said Siles.
Vess got his sword out, "Alright, just don't die on me. Don't want my conscious to be guilty over your death."
(Now playing: Blood Red Sandman, Artist: Lordi)
The two demon hunters stood back-to-back, swords drawn. They looked around to see where the scorpions would come and soon enough they jumped out of the sand and landed on the surface shrieking.
Bloodtail and Vess waited as they circled around them, pinching their claws and getting their tails ready. Then two dived at them, but both of them jumped up and sliced off their tails. They then charged at the scorpions that went after them.
Bloodtail jumped on top of one and dug his sword into its skull and jumped off right before another scorpions tail tried to pierce him, but the tail instead pierced the scorpion, killing it. Bloodtail then proceeded to use a bit of his enhanced speed to cut down the scorpion's arms and pincers off one by one while dodging their attacks.
Just then one unexpectedly dashed in front of him and he was about to crash into it when he slid underneath it while slicing its stomach open with Rebellion.
Vess meanwhile was jumping, rolling and flipping though his barrage of scorpions by avoiding their pincers and slicing them off each time they missed as a counter attack. He then threw the sword into the face of one and jumped on top of it before using it as a way to jump high into the ground. He then took out two grenades and threw them at the scorpions; the poor bastards didn't know what hit them until it was too late. The explosions burned them or obliterated them to ashes as his sword flipped in the air and he grabbed it before landing safely.
Meanwhile, five scorpions, that had their tails ready, had surrounded Bloodtail who was a bit nervous, but felt confident that he could take them on. One of the scorpions shot his tail at Bloodtail, but he managed to cut it off and left the demonic sand creature screaming in pain. He grabbed the cut off tail and started swinging it around like a whip to drive the scorpions back. He then threw it at one, which nailed it dead center in the face and then grabbed it again, while the tail was still in the face, and used it to knock the other three scorpions off their feet like it was a club.
Vess had only a few more left on his side, he took his sword to his side, and with all his strength, threw it as it went spinning around like a deadly saw blade. It managed to slice threw three scorpions and landed near the third one in the sand. The scorpions saw this as a chance to get him so they dived forward and tried to impale Vess with their claws.
Vess saw this and managed to avoid it, barely, by rolling in front of them just as they dived so they went over his head and landed right behind them. As he started to run to his sword, the scorpions tried to chase after him. They were just about to catch him when he took a dive, picked up his sword, and impaled the nearest one before kicking off of it and getting some space between the two remaining ones.
The two then dived underground, but while it looked like they were done and decided to run away, Vess knew better. Keep his guard up he closed his eyes and tried to focus on feeling the tremors underneath the sand to tell when the scorpions would attack.
He felt something right behind him and turned around to slash, just a second later the head of a scorpion appeared only to get it's face split in half like a melon. He felt another tremor coming right below him and jumped to the left just in the nick of time before the tail appeared. Vess used this opportunity to slice it off and heard a shriek from below as the scorpion's stump of the tail wiggled like crazy.
Vess took out another grenade and turned on a little button that made it glow blue, it would make the grenade stick to whatever it hit first. He placed it on the tail and then ran away as the tail went back into the sand.
Seconds later…
BOOM!
A large explosion of sand appeared where Vess was standing.
The last one was now with Bloodtail who was blocking the pincer attacks from the scorpion. Suddenly, it grabbed the sword with its left pincer and tossed it away as well as cutting Bloodtail's arm with his other pincer. Bloodtail hissed at the pain and looked as his arms stared to bleed.
The scorpion then was right on top of him, ready to strike….
But Bloodtail was quicker and took out Ebony and Ivory in each hand and fired. He kept firing as the scorpion soon filled with holes as it stumbled around before falling on it's side, barley breathing.
Bloodtail took one last aim and said, "Sweet Dreams."
BANG!
(End Song)
Vess ran over to Siles and said, "Not bad."
"Could have done better." Said Siles as he looked at his wound.
"Yeah, let me look at that, don't want it to get an inf..ect…ion?" Said Vess as he watched in amazement while Siles's wound began to heal itself and the arm was soon as good as new.
Vess looked at Siles and asked, "Half demon?"
Siles nodded.
"Well, aren't you full of surprises. Well, let's go. No doubt that explosion will attract somebody, let's hope they won't come looking for us." Said Vess as he and Siles continued to camp.
Siles then asked, "How did you know when those scorpions were going to attack you from underground."
"Saw that? That's the power of pure concentration, I concentrated on the sand with my feet to feel any sort of vibrations." Said Vess.
"Vibrations?"
"Yeah, sound can't be felt as a natural state, but it can be somewhat felt or heard though another substance. Like you know how you can hear a clap really loud underwater? Sort of the same thing." Said Vess.
"Think you can teach me how to do that when we get back to camp?" Asked Siles.
"Sure." He said.
End Flashback
"So that's how you two met." Said Amy, "But then why didn't you see each other again until this time?"
"Well, we hung out for a few days together, but then one day we were both assigned to two different assignments. I was to join in the frontlines against a legion of the cultists as a diversion while Vess joined a group that was going to ambush them from behind." Said Siles.
"But the plan, much like life, didn't go as planned." Said Vess
Flashback
(Camp Base Delta, in a desert two years ago)
Siles and a couple of other hunters had come back from the battle and arrived at a desert military camp with a lot of tents around them with stock piles of equipment everywhere. Many were tired and some were wounded, but most were all right. Siles sighed, "Man what a battle."
You won, but the ambush team didn't come…what happened? Asked Sparta.
Don't know…I'll ask the commander.
Siles entered a large tent where he saw a human male, bald in his late forties, looking at a map that was posted up on the tent. He was dressed like the GUN Commander, but his clothing was more of a desert look. The tent had a few chairs, a desk, an advanced computer hooked up to a generator, and many books scattered around.
"Excuse me…sir." Asked Siles.
He turned around, "Yes….um…"
"Siles Drowler, sir. I was wondering what happened at the battle. The ambush team didn't arrive and one of my friends is on that squad. What happened?"
The commander sighed, "Did you happen to look at those wounded men out there, all laid near the entrance."
Siles nodded, he didn't recognize any of them from the battle though.
"They were part of the ambush unit, I think our plans were found out and they sent an ambush of themselves for the unit." Said the commander.
Siles felt his heart race.
"Sir….are they alright?"
"Some are dead, most are wounded, but many are missing. What's your friend's name."
"Vess White." Said Siles.
The commander took out a sheet of paper and studied it.
"MIA. Missing in Action. He could be alive or dead at this point, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up son. Most MIA's don't ever turn up." Said the commander.
Siles felt sorrow in his heart, but he nodded and left.
Hey…he might still be alive. Said Sparta as they exited the tent.
Siles agreed with him, but dead or alive he had to move on.
That's all you could do in this job.
End of Flashback
"And here you are alive. How did you escape?" Asked Siles.
"Well, we were ambushed, but I managed to run to safety. I traveled with no destination in mind for three days with no food and only the small canteen I had for water." Said Vess, "I managed to make my way to an oasis with some eatable vegetation. I stayed there for two weeks before a group of traveling Muslim nomads came and helped be get back to civilization. After that I stayed away from demon hunting for a while before I decided to take a job again and here I am."
"Well, this is a great convenience." Said Doctor Hermen.
"Indeed." Said Doctor Regal.
"Yes well, I think it's best if we get on to meeting the final member of our team who will be coming us. The one I hired for protection." Said Doctor Zon.
"Is he also a demon hunter?" Asked Siles.
"No more of a bounty hunter and a mercenary. He said to meet him in a bar not to far from here. He said to meet him at 7 PM which is not to soon from now so let's go." Said Doctor Zon getting up.
Siles went to Vess and said, "Looks like we get to fight again side by side. Let's see if your skills are still sharp."
Vess gave a small smile and said, "Well, let's just say your going to see things you've never seen before."
Siles smiled
(7 PM at Dick's Bar for All)
The seven of them eyed the place. It really…wasn't what they were expecting.
It was a depressed and broken kind of bar with what sounded like a bunch of thugs trying to rip each other's arms out.
"This is the place?" asked Amy.
"Your more likely to find a mob hitman here." Said Jake.
"Well, this is where he said we could meet him." Said Doctor Zon who was quite nervous about this, as were the other doctors. Hey, they maybe historians, but they are not Indiana Jones.
"Okay, I've been in places like this before. Two things you should do; don't look at anybody and don't talk to anybody. Other wise we maybe facing a really bad situation." Said Siles.
They all nodded and entered, at once they had all the eyes of the entire bar at them.
"I thought you said not too look at anybody." Whispered Amy, "But what about them looking at us?"
"Just ignore them." Said Siles as they made their way through the bar. Everyone went back to their business, drinking, gambling, smoking, or just being lazy, take your pick.
Siles looked around, The doc said he would be wearing a brown dark cloak so we could tell who he was.
I don't like this…I got a bad feeling. Said Cerberus.
You're not the only one. Said Sparta.
Siles had to agree with them, something seemed wrong.
"Hey, there he is." Said Doctor Regal who pointed out to a man on the second floor, on an empty table.
They headed up the stairs and walked over.
"Are you the guy Doctor Zon hired." Asked Siles.
Click.
"I might be."
Siles and the others looked around, they saw at least seven Mobians, a black cat, a Dalmatian, a red fox with a scar on his eye, a bear, a female blue bird, another cat but grey, a purple fox, and a brown shelled turtle each holding laser pistols in their hands as well as pointing them to every member in their group. The doctors looked horrified, Amy and Vess growled, Jake sighed and Siles was clam.
"You know…this really isn't a surprise." Said Siles to the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure had a very rare weapon in his hand, a single action colt magnum that you would see from those old cowboy movies.
"Then maybe this might." He said as he removed his cloak.
Amy and Siles both then said, "Nack the Weasel!?"
"Who?" Asked Jake, who was confused.
Nack smiled, "Glad to see some still remember me."
Nack the Weasel, a famous bounty hunter who works any job for the highest price. He was much older then he before, around his early thirties. He still had his brown hat, gloves, boot, and belt, but with that belt were two gun holders for two single action colt magnums, one already in his hand pointing Siles's heart. But one thing that was really different was that half of his tail was gone, burned off really. Something that caught Siles's eye.
Who's this guy? Asked Sparta.
He's a bounty hunter me and the other Freedom Fighters faced. He's just a guy who loves money. He also has a gang, but….I don't see them anywhere. Thought Siles who noticed there was no Bean, Bark, or his sister Nic. (AN//:I know there not really a gang together in the comics, but just believe so for the sake of the story)
"So your still alive." Said Amy gritting her teeth.
"No thanks to you and your Freedom Queers, little Amy. I must say you have turned into quite a lass as well." Said Nack with a whistle.
Siles said in a serious tone, "Hands off Nack."
"Ohh, seems you got a boyfriend too." Said Nack making Amy and Siles blush, "Well, then shall we head on to the back of the bar. We can do this without getting a startle here."
"Just a minute….why are you doing this Nack? Who hired you." Said Siles.
Nack smiled, "Come on…you think I'm going to tell you that."
"At least tell us what you plan to do with us." Asked Vess.
"Simple." Said the red fox, "Were going to kill you, the fox and the human. Maybe have some fun with the girl before we waste her. Then were talking the scientists for a little trip."
"To the tomb I take it?" asked Siles.
"Why?! I paid you good money!" Said Doctor Zon who was outraged.
Nack shrugged, "That's life bub."
"Well, before you waste us. Mind if I have crazy monkey sex with your bluebird friend?" Said Jake with a plea.
The blue bird responded by hitting him in the nuts with her foot, making all the guys wince.
"Nack; let me personally waste this fucker." Said the blue bird angrily.
"Whatever." Said Nack.
Jake tired breathing as he hung onto his little jack, "Oh well…..I tried."
"We're about to get wasted and all you can think about was getting laid?" Asked Amy with a glare.
"You think I want to die a virgin?!" Said Jake with a glare back.
"Come on, were wasting enough time. Let's go!" Said Nack about to move them when a large crash erupted from the door, which sent wood flying into the bar.
"WHO THE FUCK DID THAT!" Shouted a large bear.
A blue blur came out of nowhere and spun right at him and knocked him into another bear who threw him off him which made him land on a small mouse. Soon chaos erupted and everyone started to brawl in the bar.
"Shit, bar fight. It's going to get even more difficult to get out of here." Said Nack.
"Why not just waste them here and now?" Said the black cat.
"The shot's going to….wait…is that a buzzing noise?" Said Nack who looked down.
Everyone did and saw a large blue saw like object spinning a circle underneath them.
"Oh fu-"
CRASH!!!
Both Nack and Siles's side fell down through the hole and into the first floor of the bar. Siles shook his head and saw a hand above him.
"Need a lift?" Asked Sonic, who smirked.
Siles smacked it away and shouted, "What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Saving you that's what." Said Sonic with a smile.
"Can we talk about this later! Let's move!" Shouted Vess as he helped the archeologists up and while Jake helped Amy up.
Siles stared at Sonic.
Kit! Not the time, move! Shouted Sparta.
Siles, with everyone else, ran out of the bar and started heading down the street.
(Later, in an ally)
"Alright! I want answers, what the fuck are you doing here!?" Demanded Siles to Sonic.
"Hey! I wanted to help, alright? I thought you would be grateful that I help save your butts." Said Sonic trying to defend himself.
"I am!" Said Jake.
"Shut up Jake. Look didn't you think this through!" Said Siles.
"Yeah. I did, I distracted them so I could free you guys and we would head to safety." Said Sonic.
You have to admit he's got a point. Said Nevan, Not to mention now that I look at him he's got a nice body…..mmm….is he single?
Married. Said Cerberus
Darn, oh well if he ever gets tired of her…Said Nevan.
Siles ignored the conversation and said, "I meant didn't you think as to why it's not a good idea for you to be here! Your king of Mobius! You die, things get worse!"
Sonic said, "Look, I may be a king, but I'm also Sonic the Hedgehog, the fastest thing alive. I can't ignore seeing my people suffer when I can't do anything. The risks I'm taking now are the same as I did when I was a Freedom Fighter. It's no different."
"Yes it is, at least politically. You being king mean you're a hope for people as well as a symbol. You die, people are going to be filled with despair." Said Siles.
"So you do care about me?" Said Sonic with a smirk.
"NO! I meant that….ugh! Forget it….you are not going to listen to reason are you?" Said Siles with a sigh.
"Nope." Said Sonic with a smile.
"For now we must get to the tomb at once!" Said Doctor Zon, "I'm tired of all this and I want to get back to the safety of our dig site!"
"Agreed. Me, Amy, Zon, will go back to the hotel and get as much of the equipment as possible. The rest of you should order Sandbikes to make our way. Sonic since we have no choice, your coming with us." Said Vess.
"But…" Said Siles.
"Siles, I don't understand what's going on but we need to get out of here. Nack and his goons will be looking for us." Said Vess.
Siles sighed, "Fine, but don't get in the way."
"Got ya!" Said Sonic with a thumbs up, "I won't let you down."
"I won't hold my breath." Said Siles walking away.
Jake walked up to Sonic and said, "This is your way of getting his respect?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, be careful where you trend. I suggest you do follow his orders completely. He is somewhat thankful you rescued them, but at the same time I think he feels that you're trying to force him to like you." Said Jake, "Just watch your step.
Sonic nodded and followed them.
(Later, Unknown)
"SHIT!" Cried Nack as he landed on the sofa rubbing his head with an ice pack, "Of all the mother fucking assholes in this fricken world we had to have that blue cock sucker come! Fuck!"
Nack, along with many hired muscles, were in a dark warehouse that they were using as base.
Just then a small adult porcupine came forward and said, "Sir, I have all the info needed."
"Well, hurry up and say it." Said Nack who was pissed.
"Well, the human's a demonologist and happens to be one of the best. My guess is he's just there for understanding the tomb more. Amy Rose, you already know is a former Freedom Fighter now a member of the Mobian Inquisition of Freedom, her rank is Principalities. As for the red fox his name is Siles Drowler, aka Bloodtail the demon hunter, said to be one of the best. I couldn't find any general information, but I managed to get a few sneaks of his work from the OASIS database in the human lands."
"Well, what's he like?" Asked a panda with guns strapped to his body, "Can't be that bad."
"Well….the thing is….I do I put this….he's sort of like…Keanu Reaves."
There was a long dark silence between them.
"Oh Jesus Christ."
"Were screwed."
"Crap."
Nack spitted on the floor, "Who gives a damn."
"Dude, he's…he's like Keanu Reaves!"
"I don't care if he was fucking Chuck Norris! We're going after these fuckers now!"
(Later, in a desert in the morning)
All was quiet in the soft sands of the lonely yellow and red desert.
VOOM!
Which all ended when a blue blur, followed by 4 large brown blurs started running down the desert at top speed.
Sonic was leading the others with his super speed while the others were driving on hover sandbike's following him. Bloodtail was alone, Amy had Doctor Zon, Vess had Doctor Herman, and Jake had Doctor Regal seated next to them.
They had been dashing through the desert as fast as possible since night and were half way there. The scientists were egger to get back to the tomb and open it while the others were egger to get to some place safe. They knew Nack wouldn't give up that easily and it was only a matter of time till they caught up.
Bloodtail looked at Sonic who was leading them, although a small part of him was grateful that he had helped out, he still felt that Sonic shouldn't have come.
It almost sounds like your worried. Said Sparta.
Why would I be worried? I don't care what happens to him, except that his death would be terrible for the people. If it was any other given situation I wouldn't care, he didn't care when I "died" so why should I care about him? Thought Bloodtail.
Sparta sighed, but kept silent his thoughts.
Jake then asked, "How much longer?"
"Should be no more then a few more hours." Said Doctor Regal.
"I'm getting really sick of seeing sand everywhere." Said Jake who was tired.
Bloodtail was about to say something when he noticed a large amount of sand and smoke was growing behind them.
"We got company." Said Bloodtail stopping along with the others. They looked back and saw the same scene.
Amy took out some binoculars and saw Nack with five other goons on sandbikes as well.
"Figures." Said Amy, "Nack."
"Mind telling me what you meat by "Your still alive?" Asked Bloodtail.
Amy sighed, "Two years after defeating Robotnick, we went after some of his allies, and Nack and his gang were one of them. We trapped them, but things erupted into a shoot out. Bark and Bean were both killed in the fight and Nic we captured. Nack went into a building that went Boom and we figured he died."
"And Nic?"
"Executed."
"So, that explains the burned tail. Looks like were going to give him another showdown. Vess, your with me. Sonic take the Doctor Herman and get some distance with the others and stay close." Said Bloodtail.
"Hey I can fight!" Said Sonic who didn't want to be out on the sidelines.
"Just do as I say OKAY!" Said Bloodtail who went off towards Nick and his gang.
Doctor Herman went over to a disappointed Sonic who took him and said, "Alright, let's go!"
Vess followed Bloodtail while the others got some distance.
Vess and Bloodtail traveled forward a bit and then soon enough they ran smack into Nack and his gang who stopped and smirked.
"So, Bloodtail is it? Where are the doctors?" Asked Nack as he drew one of his colt magnums.
Siles drew Ivory and said, "At a hospital, where your going to check in soon."
Nack's goons, a male red fox, a male raccoon, a male yellow dog, and a male black cat all got out their blasters and were about to fight when they felt something underneath them shake.
Soon the land was rumbling.
"Wha?" Asked Nack who tried to hang on.
BOOM!!
SHHHHRIIIEEEEKKKK!!
"AUGH!" Cried the red fox, as a very large sand worm with razor sharp teeth swallowed him. The sand worm then dived into the sand again and soon more and more sand worms appeared all over.
"Aw crap." Said Bloodtail
(Now Playing: A Crown of Worms, Artist: Megadeth)
"SCATTER!!" Cried Nack as everyone went in separate directions with worms following suit.
Vess took out his blade and saw three large worms right behind him. Just to his left, Bloodtail had taken his pistol and shot it into his sandbike and jumped onto Vess's bike. The bike he shot at had started to burn and slow it's way into a worm's mouth which caused it to explode when the bike blew up from the fire hitting the gas.
Bloodtail then took out both of his pistols and started firing at both of the other ones, but the worms took it with no problem.
Shit, must have hard shells. Thought Siles.
Meanwhile, two of Nacks goons, the raccoon and the dog, were running as far away from the scene as possible.
"Man! The money ain't worth this shit! I'm out of here!" Shouted the dog.
"Amen brother!" Shouted the raccoon.
They looked behind them to see no worms following them so they stopped.
"I think we lost them." Said the dog.
"Thank g-AAAAA!!" Cried the raccoon as a worm came up from above and swallowed him hole with his bike.
"What the fuck!" Shouted the dog as the worm looked at him and dived.
"AAAH!"
Nack heard the scream and felt both blessed and cursed, bless that it was one less person to pay, cursed that he had lost another meat shield.
Nack looked at the only remaining member of his crew he brought, the black cat.
"Oh man! Were screwed!" Shouted the black cat who was scared shitless. He then screamed when he saw two worms heading for them.
Nack just drew his colt, put in two red colored bullets inside and fired twice at them. The bullets entered their heads and made them explode.
The black cat was gasping in relief.
"Easy." Said Nack who drove ahead.
The black cat finally relaxed till a worm came up from behind and swallowed him painlessly.
Back with the demon hunters, they were not being chased by not two but five worms now.
"Any ideas!?" asked Vess.
"One. Hope it works." Shouted Bloodtail as he summoned Cerberus's nunchucks.
Okay Cerberus! Give me some of that icy power you got!
No problem! Said Cerberus who was glad to be helping for once.
The three headed nunchuck glowed icy cold blue as Bloodtail jumped up and slammed it into the sand causing a large field of ice crystals to be summoned and pierce anything above or below it making it one large tower and field of ice.
The spikes pierced the worms chasing them as well as below them for an added bonus.
Nack and Vess both stopped and admired the attack, but that cost them both as two worms attacked them and knocked them off their bikes. Nack fell into the sand, while Vess recovered and grabbed his sword in time to dodge to the left and chop the head of one that tried to get him by surprise.
The second one hesitated, but that was all Vess needed as he threw a grenade in it's mouth with all his might and caused it to explode early blowing it's brains out.
With only a three more left, Bloodtail swung the chains around him with skill while eyeing the three that were circling him. Deciding at last, they attacked him at once from three separate directions.
Bloodtail only smirked as he shouted, "STRIKE ONE!"
He sent one of the chains into one of the worm's mouth.
"STRIKE TWO!"
He did the same for another.
"STRIKE THREE!"
And again for the last one.
As soon as all three were in their mouths the power of Cerberus froze them in their place, Bloodtail then grabbed all three chains and said, "AND YOUR OUT!"
He pulled them back and the force of the pull shattered the worms into ice pieces.
(End of song)
Bloodtail sighed as he unsummoned his weapon and saw Vess picking up their sandbike and drove back.
"Need a ride?" Asked Vess.
"Sure." Said Bloodtail getting on.
"Think Nack survived?"
"If he didn't lucky us, if he did I doubt he'll catch up." Said Bloodtail as they sped away.
(Later)
A lone brown cowboy hat could be seen in the middle the desert, when suddenly it was picked up.
Nack adjusted the hat back on before getting his COMLINK and asked, "Has the trace been activated?"
"Yes, we found their location."
"Good, link up with me and let's crazy their party." Said a smiling Nack, he wasn't done yet.
End
There's no need for a legend this time. Also, I'm tired, it's late. Read and Review please.
Later.
