Chapter 13: Explanations

Two days later…

Morning…..

Sonic was running around Green Hill again. He was well again after having constant rest for two days.

"It's been so long since I actually smelled fresh air!" Sonic said happily.

He inhaled deeply and exhaled. He was feeling so refresh! He had a huge smile across his face. His ears perked up and he came to a complete stop as he heard someone calling for him.

"SONIC!" Tails called loudly.

Tails was running to Sonic. By the time Tails finally catch up with Sonic. He was panting heavily and Sonic turned around.

"What's the rush Tails?" Sonic asked in his normal cheery tone.

Tails looked at Sonic.

"Well ... Me and Knuckles was wondering how did you even get poisoned in the first place?" Tails said with curiosity.

Sonic scratched his head and sweat dropped.

"Well it is like this-"Sonic said but was disrupted when Knuckles tackle him down to the ground.

Knuckles was angry and lifted up his hand and revealed a broken video watch to Sonic. They were still at the ground and Sonic was starting to get terrified of Knuckles will do next as he can't get up when Knuckles is on him.

"What's the meaning of this! Did you purposely break your watch so that we will worry about you and we can find you? You are being overrated!" Knuckles yelled with anger.

Sonic wave his hands in the no answer.

"Knuckles you misunderstood! I will never do that!" Sonic yelled back in panic.

"Say that to yourself Sonic!"Knuckles lifted his fist up and was going to punch Sonic right at the face!

Sonic closed his eyes and braced himself! Unable to do anything!

"STOP!" Tails yelled.

Knuckles looked up and stared at Tails so did Sonic. Tails was in tears.

"It is my fault! I was supposed to fix it! I promise Sonic I will fix his watch but I didn't because I was mad at him until it made me forgot." Tails cried.

Knuckles felt bad for Tails and Sonic. Knuckles got off Sonic.

"Sorry Sonic... I misunderstood!" Knuckles said sadly.

"It's alright! But I would have to apologise to Tails" Sonic replied with a thumbs up.

Sonic walked to Tails and hugged him.

"It's not your fault Tails... I forgive you... Please don't cry.." Sonic whispered and Tails backed off from Sonic and wiped his tears away.

"Thanks Sonic! And as you were saying earlier?" Tails said with much more happiness.

Sonic nearly forgotten about explaining it to Tails,

"Oh right! So it started out like this..." Sonic said.

When Sonic ran away...

Sonic was running around the forest with thoughts of guilt haunting him. Sonic closed his eyes for a while he was running recalling every single bit of what happened in the argument with Tails.

"FORGET IT! I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP! YOU JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Tails kept yelling in his mind forming echoes after that.

Sonic open his eyes again as he stumbled down to the grass, suddenly feeling weak and was losing consciousness. Sonic tried to stand again but collapsed to the ground again. He took a look at where it hurts at his arm and saw blood pouring out. Then he remembers feeling a scratch at his arm after passing by a poisonous plant. It must have grazed him! And he stood up but nearly fell down again. Sonic used his hand to cover the wound on his other arm to prevent anymore bleeding. He tried to return home but he kept walking until he ended up at a ledge leading to narrow trench.

He couldn't bear the poison much longer and passed out and falling down to the bottom of the trench.

End of flashback

"Well that is as far as I can remember!" Sonic said to Tails.

Tails placed his hand on his chin.

"I know! I get it! You must then have landed on a rock sticking out in the middle of the trench! That also explains the blood stains because you were wounded and it must have dripped all the way to the ledge!" Tails said excitedly.

"So that's how you found me!" Sonic exclaimed.

"But there is still something I don't get! Knuckles, how did you survive that fall from the trench?" Tails wondered.

Sonic and Tails stared at Knuckles expecting an answer.

Knuckles stared at them.

"What?" Knuckles yelled.

"How did you manage to survive that fall?" Sonic asked Knuckles with concern.

"Oh right….." Knuckles said.

After Knuckles fell down into the strong current river…

Knuckles was trying to fight against the current but it was hopeless, he surfaced from the water and inhaled deeply. He saw a huge rock by the trench and managed to grab it. He struggled to climb on top of the rock as it was slippery. He nearly fell back into the river a few times but made it. He gripped on the rocks on the trench despite it was hard to climb as well as it was slippery from the river lapping against it!

Knuckles always lose grip but was always able to grip back on another rock. He managed to climb up on the ledge and he collapsed to the ground breathing heavily. He was worn out from trying to climb up the trench. He instantly stood up again as if nothing happened to him.

"Gotta find Tails and quick!" Knuckles said determinedly.

He ran off into the forest...

Back to Reality...

Tails thought for a moment and he snapped his fingers.

"I know! I get it now!" Tails yelled causing Sonic and Knuckles to flinch a little.

"Knuckles so that's how you found me after that! And save me and Sonic!" Tails yelled happily as he finally understand and felt happy.

Sonic didn't understand because he was passed out.

"Thanks Knucklehead!" Sonic exclaimed happily while winking at him.

Knuckles had a vein on his head and started to chase after Sonic. Sonic ran for his life while laughing at Knuckles expression. Tails watched them run to the sunset but Tails suddenly had this horrible feeling that something bad was going to happen. Tears streamed down his face. The feeling was so painful.

"Why does it feel like Sonic is going to die?" Tails thought with fear while placing his hand at his chest.

Tails wiped his tears away.

"No it can't be... Sonic... I must be dreaming..." Tails thought and ran after them...

The End Or Is It?

Somewhere evil is lurking and you could hear the laughter...

"Haha ! I finally done it! A perfect weapon to finally get rid of my nemesis and his friends!" a familiar voice spoke...

He was holding a gun with a jolt of electricity flowing through it and he turned his head. That figure was way too familiar! It was the one and only Doctor Eggman!
