TheBatBrain, Thanks for the idea! I could add a little something to it! Also thanks for the great comments! ;)

I needed a break as well as….

Ok let me just be frank with you guys….

The truth is I nearly gave up on writing due to the negative thoughts so I don't think this will be the best chapter I ever written….

Since I just merely recovered from depression! But don't worry! I am back and hopefully with still satisfying work! XD

Here you go!

Chapter 13: The True Power Of Friendship

Moments later….

Knuckles came back with all seven Chaos Emeralds filled in his arms followed by Shadow just merely following him back inside. Tails just stared with a few tears in his eyes but he knew that he had to this; there is just no other way…

"Alright let's go now…." The poor fox said as he slowly got to his feet with slightly flattened ears.

The red echidna and the black hedgehog nodded. They all headed out while leaving the orange fox stood by the door frame and looked back at the broken dining table. A vague picture appeared but it was nothing but an imagination. An imagination with Tails teasing Sonic; both were seating on each individual chairs.

" Sonic I ate your Chilidog and there is no way you can get it back!" The imaginary young Tails teased while spitting out his tongue.

"Heheh We will see about that!" the imaginary Sonic teased while giving a wink.

Sonic tackled Tails down and started to tickled him.

"OK OK I give in! I give in!" The fox cried while laughing.

"Oh I am not done with you yet!" Sonic said while still tickling him at the stomach.

The vague imagination slowly faded away as Tails snapped back to reality. Tails had a single tear streamed down his face and dripped onto the floor; bursting into many tinier countless droplets.

"Tails!" Knuckles called signalling him to come.

The two tailed fox ran to them and they ran with all their might to the broken base caused by the blue blur. They were looking around where Sonic could have possibly have gone to. The black hedgehog looked around and picked up the ashes that were left behind from the explosion. He poured the ashes back to the ground; believing that everything was demolished. Knuckles just stared at the base; thinking where Eggman and Sonic could have possibly headed off to. The orange fox activated his video watch and looked at the screen with a red dot at one specific place. He could track him because Sonic was still wearing his watch.

"I found him! He is just slightly further north." Tails said while getting his watch and started to follow where his watch is directing him to go.

The fox started to run and headed north while the black hedgehog followed by a red echidna. They climbed the cliff and reached a huge base that has met them after running a bit further. Shadow shot Chaos Spears causing the door the bust open. They ran in and reached a huge control room with Eggman seated on his chair with his hands placed together and with his wicked evil smirk and a row of controls set behind him. Metal Sonic appeared and gave a punch. Shadow grabbed Tails and pulled him away from the punch.

"Get them Metal Sonic!" Eggman yelled while pointing out at Tails, Shadow and Knuckles.

"Tails get out here and get Sonic! We got this!" Knuckles said while passing the fox the Chaos Emeralds.

The poor fox hesitated but obeyed and walked to the centre of the control room.

"You ready Shadow?" Knuckles said in an angry tone while clenching his fists.

"Always!" The black hedgehog said with a smile.

Metal Sonic revved at them by doing a homing attack and they disappeared in a flash. The blue clone looked around tracing where the hedgehog and echidna could be. They appeared from the back and was about to lay a punch on the blue robot. Metal Sonic caught their attack with one hand holding Knuckles while the other holds Shadow. The blue clone turns around and sends them flying to collapsed to the ground but quickly got back to their feet and heade to attack Metal Sonic. Knuckles performed countless punches and Chaos Spears made by Shadow. Metal Sonic avoided all of them and kicked the red echidna backwards and was after the black hedgehog.

Suddenly, the red echidna grabbed the blue clone from the back. The blue robot struggled but was unable to free himself from the grip.

"Get him Shadow!" Knuckles yelled.

The black hedgehog nodded and punched Metal Sonic; sending it out of Knuckles' arms and crashed onto the wall. Metal Sonic plummeted towards the ground with many dents and his gleaming red eyes vanished to only one colour pitch black.

Meanwhile….

The orange fox ran to the centre of the room while Sonic reveal himself under the shadows. His red eyes gleamed. The poor fox couldn't do it but he ran to Sonic and tried to lay a hit on him but in return was only punched at the face and was sent rolling on the ground. The fox struggled to stand but was kicked at the stomach by his own brother. The poor fox winced in pain and closed his eyes tightly from the pain. The blue blur walked away but noticed that Tails was on his feet again and let out another punch. Sonic caught his fist and send him flying him to the wall; causing a dent on the wall. The poor fox collapsed to the ground but slowly got up again while gripping his shoulder with his other hand. He had tears in his eyes and the Chaos Emeralds appeared. They were flying above the two tailed fox; circling in the air extremely quickly that you could only see a dash of colours. A sword formed and landed on Tails' hand. The poor fox stared at awe and then at Sonic's red eyes which what used to be normal and soothing emerald green eyes. Tears streamed down his face and the blue blur clutched his head and whimpered.

"Tails…. Do it…." The blue hero said in a robotic tone.

The silver sword glinted all the colours of the Chaos Emeralds; silver, red, dark blue, light blue, green, purple and yellow.

"I can't… but I have to.." Tails whispered while staring at Sonic.

The poor fox thrust the sword forward and stabbed through Sonic's stomach with jolts of electricity coming out from the wounds on his stomach. The blue hedgehog grabbed the sword and closed his eyes and opened. His eyes were back to normal; soothing green emeralds eyes. A bright light shined that everyone used their arm to shield the light away from their eyes. Tails didn't cover his eyes but had tears streaming down his face.

The light came from the sword which lightens up the whole room.

A tear dropped to the ground; bursting to many more tiny droplets.

"I am so sorry Sonic….." Tails voice whispered.
