Chapter 11: Past Sins

A tall humanoid figure was traveling though a pure white hallway. He was wearing a White Hooded Robe with blue and red Runes' around the neck, waist, and arms of the robe. On the back was a purple circle with multiple letters that were of arcane origin around it. There were also 4 smaller circles, two on top, one in the middle that was lower then the other, and the third was way below. The top on left had the symbol "Life". The top right one had the symbol "Death". The very bottom on had the symbol "Rebirth". All three connected equaled an upside down equilateral triangle. In the middle of that triangle was the last smaller circle that had the symbol "Eternity".

He slowly made his way down the white hall till he exited it and appeared at a long bridge that was right over a dark chasm. He crossed over it, but stopped when a large 30 foot steel door was stopping him.

The steel door was opening and when it fully opened he walked into it where what laid before him was a circle of red and black blood glowing in the shape of an upside down pentagram. Surrounding the small circle room were tons of runes each whispering dark words of horror and sin.

The human, Zeith, was not alone. Around the pentagram were four other individuals, each dressed like he was but with certain number over their hearts of the cloaks.

The first one to the left was a very large person. He looked overweight, but stood proud and strong. He had an aura of power and control with him. A glare from him could make you feel the ice cold heart that dwelled within him. A passion for lifelessness and a taste for ruthlessness on the side. His number was a 4.

The second person was a Mobian, he had wings meaning he was of the bird species. This one seemed near lifeless and had no firm stance, but one of emptiness and sorrow. In his hands was a coin, he turned it around in his hands every so often and looked at it when ever he stopped. His number was 10.

The third person was another Mobian, but female this time. A cat like tail came out of the rear of the cloak showing her race. She held a seductive like position, with an aura of wisdom and temptation. Her eyes were glowing blue under her hood and when you looked at them it was like seeing into the barriers of space themselves. Her number was 2.

The fourth and final person was another human. He stood like a warrior and a person of great respect. There was a different aura from him, an aura of uneasiness and regret. He glared at his fellow comrades with hate and disgust, almost like he never wanted to be here. His number was 17.

"Is he here yet?" Asked Zeith who looked around.

"No, but I do hope he doesn't take much longer. I want to know what he summoned me from my work for." Said Number 4.

"You and your work, what's the point? They defeated it once, what makes you think they'll lose against it this time?" Asked Number 2.

"Because it's better. Stronger. And I have a back up plan." Said Number 4.

"You did not learn your mistakes from last time." Said Number 10, "If it has failed in the past then it is only doomed to repeat failing every time you try. You can't fight against fate."

"You and your fate crap." Said Number 4, "I would take that coin of yours and shove it up your ass."

"Gentlemen, can we please act like comrades in arms for once."

They all turned around to see him, the Leader of A.R.C.A.N.O. come forward from the entrance. Everyone, but Number 17, bowed.

The Leader walked to the center of the room and looked at every one of them, "As you already know. Number 8 has failed to destroy Siles Drowler as well as retrieve the item we sought for."

"Is such an item needed? We already have enough demonic contracts and people under our control." Said Zeith.

"More numbers equals more strength, but there is even worse news." He said even though he didn't sound fazed at all, "Number 8 managed to reveal another secret of the Arcana Demons. The Inquisition now knows of you all."

"He couldn't have given much info. We rarely see each other. Mostly we do our own work." Said Number 2.

"True, but I feel we must forward our plans more if we are to achieve our goals." Said the Leader.

He turned to Number 4, "You will have your revenge and take what you want so badly."

Number 4 grinned under his cloak.

He turned to Number 10, "You will see history play out."

Number 10 flipped his coin.

He turned to Number 2, "You will be more beautiful then any being before you."

Number 2 blew a kiss.

He then turned to Number 19, "As for you…well….we doesn't need to worry about you."

Number 19 turned his head away, not wanting to look into his eyes.

With a sigh the Leader said, "Now I am getting tired of this Siles Drowler and his friends. I'm also getting tired of seeing Sonic the Hedgehog and Sally Acorn alive."

"If anybody's got a plan to get rid of all three of them, the thorns on our side, I suggest saying so now."

….

….

….

"Perhaps I can deal with them….personally…."

They all turned to Number 4 who has his fist tightened, "This is the perfect time, let me deal with them. I have every right to do so."

The Leader looked at Number 4 and was quiet for a while till he said, "Very well, but just as a precaution I am sending the Magician with you. He has been revived and is looking forward to seeing Siles again."

Number 4 bowed and left to plot his revenge.

Number 10 sighed as he left, "He will lose. Fate has decreed it."

"I agree." Said Number 19 speaking for once, "I have seen and heard of this Siles "Bloodtail" Drowler. He is a warrior and a warrior does not lose to anybody but another warrior."

"Such as yourself?" Asked Zeith.

He was silent once again.

BLOODTAIL: THE DEMON HUNTER

(Siles Apartment, Mobotropolis, Two days after the last chapter)

How the fuck did I get stuck with this job?

You have nobody to blame, but yourself. Besides, it's only for three hours. Said Sparta.

But what do I know about taking care of a child?! Especially a baby?

We've all had kids before. It's no different. Said Cerberus.

Yeah, I mean we've been on Earth many times. I've taken care of hundreds of my own kids when I married with mortals. Said Sparta remembering the good times.

Plus, you agreed to do it. And your not one to turn down a request, even from one you hate. Said Nevan.

Siles sighed as he got out of the shower room fully dressed. He flopped down on his bed and closed his eyes, "But I don't even know how to change a diaper…."

Yeah, that's one thing that takes a while to learn…Said Sparta.

Siles just shook his head. How the heck did he agree to it? Ever since he got back from the desert Sonic had been trying to hang out with him more and more. Offing to go for runs or seeing movies or even just inviting him to the palace for a short visit.

He of course declined all those, but not for the reasons that you might think. Siles was slowly finding it bearable once again to be around Sonic, something he never thought would happen. It was obvious he was trying to get friendly with him, but Siles didn't want it. Not now and not ever.

And if Sonic was doing this, that meant that Sally was also trying to get on his good side. But unlike Sonic, she was careful in planning. And since she hadn't done anything yet that meant she was planning something big, or at least that what Siles thought until today

That's why he wanted to get out of town for a while and head on over to a place that would get him not only information on a possible lead that what A.R.C.A.N.O. was doing, but give him some fresh air from the two people who destroyed his old life.

However, that all changed when Sally called, she, Sonic, Bunnie, Rotor, and Amy were all called to a meeting to discuss some political issues or what not. Thankfully, he was not invited as he wasn't a member of the Inquisition, but there was another problem.

Normally, when Sonic or Sally was heading to a meeting, they would ask Bunnie or Rotor to take care of Hermes, their son. However, with all their sitters heading out to the meeting or being unavailable, they had to ask Siles to take care of him. He asked why there were no maids, but as it turned out they were all dead from the attack on the Castle when the Judgment Arcana attacked.

Siles thought of turning it down, but a small part of him couldn't let a child be alone. After all, it's not like he hated Hermes.

That and Sally paid him to take care of him. It wasn't much, but he felt it would be great to spend the royal money from the Queen and King on booze.

So he agreed to keep watch over him for three hours.

KNOCK KNOCK!

Speak of the devil.

Siles got up and opened the door with bit nervousness. Heck he didn't know why he was nervous, he had handle kids before.

Then again, most kids aren't the child of the two people who were once the biggest factor of your life.

Amy stood in front of the door with Hermes, wide awake and wrapped in a blue blanket with the Acorn family crest on, as she handed him a duffle bag and said, "Surprised?"

Siles was surprised, "I thought Sally was dropping him off?"

"Well, I decided to help you out. Rotor and Bunnie will tell me what happens at the meeting anyway." Said Amy entering the room.

"What will you tell your superiors?" asked Siles closing it.

"Bad traffic."

"Ah." The excuse of all late employers.

Amy sat down on a chair and smiled at Hermes, "You know, I was surprised when you said you would take on the job of helping baby-sit Hermes."

Siles shrugged, "Yeah, well…you know…I have a soft spot for kids."

Amy nodded and held Hermes towards Siles, "Mind holding him while I make a bottle for him?"

Siles nodded and slowly took him; he smiled as Hermes made a cry of happiness and snuggled into Siles's arms.

Aww….how cute. Said Sparta, I HATE CUTE!!! GAH!

Who? The baby or Mama Siles? Asked Cerberus.

Both!

Siles ignored them as Amy came towards him with the bottle. Siles, to his own surprise, asked to feed him.

Amy nodded and gave it to Siles, who slowly started to feed the little prince. Siles couldn't help but feel grateful for this. For some strange reason…it reminded him of his own childhood.

Since he had no parents, he was raised in the nursery with the other orphans, but Sonic and Sally, the ones who found him, raised him as if he were their own. Even though they were kids themselves. They fed him, changed him, and played with him. He remembered every day as a kid and as he grew older he got closer to him.

This kid was just as lucky, no he was luckier. He was their offspring. Although he hated Sonic and Sally, and he did in the darkest of his heart. He knew they were loving parents and Hermes would be well cared for.

And yet a small bit of jealousy and anger was in his mind. He even asked himself the question if Sonic and Sally would have condemned Hermes if he was replaced with Tails those five years ago.

Siles shook his head. How could he think of such a thing, especially with a child?

Amy couldn't help but be surprised, "Wow…normally it takes a while for him to get use to new sitters. You've only been around him for a few days at most. But he so trusting of you…wonder why?"

If Hermes could speak he would explain. He was a smart child for his age and knew a person of great trust when he saw him. When he first saw Siles he knew he was a good person, something in his gut told him he could.

After he finished the bottle, Hermes went to sleep, smiling in Siles arms.

"AH!! TOO CUTE!!! I COULD STAND IT FOR A WHILE BUT THIS IS TOO MUCH!! STOP IT PL-"

A large smacking noise was heard in Siles's head followed by a thud.

Thanks Nevan.

No problem.

Siles slowly got up and placed him on his bed on one of his large pillows so he felt comfortable. After that he walked back to Amy and said, "That was easier then I thought."

"Guess you'll be a good father one day huh?" Said Amy quietly.

He looked at Amy for awhile before saying, "Maybe."

There was an awkward silence between the two of them till Siles asked, "So, do you know why Sally and Sonic asked me to baby-sit the little guy?"

Amy was quiet with that one, she thought about it for a minute till and answer came to her, "The threats…."

"Threats?" Asked Siles who caught this.

"Well, it's no surprise that Sonic and Sally get threats right? After all, a lot of people don't like them as rulers despite their popularity right?" Said Amy.

Yeah, and I'm one of them.

"But rarely do we they ever get letters threading the prince. Most of the letters are just garbage from people who have nothing better to do then write crap they wish they want to do, but are to lazy to get up their fat asses to do it." Said Amy, "Then once and awhile we get a serious one."

Amy leaned in closer and said, "Rumors are going around…that A.R.C.A.N.O. sent one about doing something to Hermes."

Siles's eyes darkened. He was really getting fucking sick of these assholes. Not only did they kill and cause chaos to people, but they also used his friends for their own sick games.

Friends like Vess….Thought Siles as he squeezed his hand.

"And they thought I was the best choice?" asked Siles, "Why not one of the Cherubim or Seraph squads? After all the Cherubim protect the royal family and the Seraph can do anything."

"I guess it's because Sonic and Sally trust you." Said Amy shrugging.

Siles couldn't believe that, "Trust me? I don't know why they even bother. I hate them. I have threatened them. Hell I even shot at them once, and they want to trust me? Why is it so damn important?"

"I don't know. I guess it's because other then Robotnick, nobody has hated them so much. They're not use to it." Said Amy.

Siles rolled his eyes, "Figures….Sonic and Sally…still think the world is grounded in that deep fantasy of theirs. Where as long as there is freedom, everybody is happy."

"You know…you talk as if you know them…" Said Amy with curiosity.

Siles shut up, he cursed himself for messing up.

"But yeah…I guess we all thought once Robotnick was dead and our freedom was back everything would get better." Said Amy.

"Freedom's just a word. The real true idea of freedom would be to make the entire country follow Anarchism, but I doubt anybody with a civil mind wants that." Said Siles, "After all, you have to have some balance between Control and Freedom if you want to rule a country right?"

"True."

"So about that threat? Are you sure it's from A.R.C.A.N.O?" asked Siles getting back on track.

"Yeah, at least that's the rumor." Said Amy.

Siles was in deep thought for a while till he said, "I think I know somebody who can help us."

"Who?"

Siles sighed, "Well….it's a long way….so were going to have to ask Sally or Zazamel for a transporter. It would take too long to go by my bike."

"Where are we going?"

Siles smirked as he asked Amy, "When was the last time you went to Vegas?"

(Later that night)

"Where are they?" asked Sally outside of the Inquisition HQ, who was worried. The meeting ended 10 minutes ago, but she was expecting her baby back 5 minutes ago.

"Relax Sal. It's only been a few minutes." Said Sonic who was relaxed.

"I don't know. I know it was my idea to give Hermes to Siles and I know Amy is with him, but I still am worried." Said Sally.

"You keep worrying like this your going to grow grey hair." Said Rotor lighting a cigarette.

"Rotor's right. You got to take it easy." Said Bunnie who wasn't worried about her child. Cream and Hanyo were sleeping in her room, she had left Cream alone sometimes if she wasn't going to be long and although she was worried sometimes, she trusted her daughter to be careful.

It wasn't long after when they saw a bus come by and stop right in front of them. Amy and Siles, carrying Hermes, came out seconds later.

"Sorry we were late. Traffic." Said Siles with Amy smirking.

He handed over a sleeping Hermes to Sally's hands and she smiled, "Thanks."

Siles shrugged, "No big deal."

Big deal? You were acting like a Nanny back there. Were so proud. Said Cerberus.

Our big kit is growing up. Said Sparta with some fake tears.

We can always have another.Said Nevan with a seductive tone.

Ignoring the three, Siles was about to speak when Rotor proposed they all go inside, they agreed upon it and entered when Jake saw them inside and shouted, "WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY!!"

"WWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"

"JAKE!" Hissed everyone.

"What?" Asked Jake who was clueless.

"You woke up the baby!" Shouted Bunnie who smacked her head.

"Well sorry, I just wanted to say hi." Said Jake.

"Well you screamed it louder then it needed to be." Said Rotor getting a headache from Hermes crying.

Sally fixed that problem by slowly rocking Hermes and started slowly singing something that was very familiar to Siles.

"Hush now baby, the dusk is gone. The stars are bright and the moon has come. Sleep now as the angels sing, your name in the highest of rings. Tomorrow is a brand new day, and it will be a time to play. Till then you must sleep tonight, as good dreams come to you at night." Sung Sally which slowly calmed down Hermes till he was asleep once more.

"Nice Sal." Said Sonic.

Siles had a very very tiny smile on his face. Sally sung that to him every night when he couldn't sleep when he was a kid.

He quickly lost his thought when he heard a small clap.

"Very good your majesty. You're quite a mother to us all." Said Councilmen Dewback as he entered the area with his 4 other council members.

The room suddenly turned grey when everybody noticed them. Nobody wanted to bow this time which the 5 of them took to no notice as they calmly went forth. Sally then gave Hermes to Bunnie and asked her to take him to her room while she talks with the council.

"Councilmen, I didn't think you would be staying after the meeting." Said Sally in a neutral tone.

"Nor did I think you would be meeting…with Mr. Drowler here." Said Dewback as they eyed him carefully.

"Boo!" Said Siles which scared Emerson and a few people smirked.

"So what does you and your Sentai squad want with us?" asked Siles.

"Only this, we are wondering why you didn't place the protection of Prince Hermes with us, Queen Sally. After all, we do have the Inquisition of that reason." Said Councilman Dewback.

Everybody who wasn't one of the snakes knew that they only wanted Hermes to use him for some goal or another and that leaving him in their claws was a bad idea. But Siles also realized that the rumors Amy spoke about earlier were true. A.R.C.A.N.O. was after Hermes.

"Well, from what I'm seeing the Inquisition has let Mobotropolis almost get destroyed at least 3 times and I saved your sorry political asses from them by my skill." Said Siles.

"Does this mean that her majesty has little trust in her subjects?" Asked Councilwoman Shihana.

Sally replied, "I trust everyone of my kingdom fully and honorable, but I asked Siles because he has dealt with protection assignments for a long time. Longer then anybody in the Inquisition has."

"Except for the Freedom Fighters. Many which were once a member of our Secret Service including St. John." Said Councilman Timon.

"John wouldn't know how to protect people if a guide book came out of his ass." Said Siles.

"I think your fail to also realize that Mr. Drowler is just as dangerous." Said Councilman Dewback with a glare, "Not only is he a half demon, he also fired on all of us with his gun. Including you two, an offence that can be punished."

"And I would shoot you all again in a heart beat." Said Siles.

"So you would make a child parentless?" asked Dewback with a smile.

Siles glared at him as well as ignore the looks he was getting from the others. "No, I wouldn't do that." Said Siles.

"So because you found out of Hermes, you changed your mind? What if they had no child?" Said Hinai with a curly smile, which missed a few teeth Siles noticed.

"Nice smile Hinai, I like the new look." He said with a smile which earned Hinai's glare, "And to be honest….."

Would he kill them? Could he kill them? A large part of him said yes, they had betrayed him and were just as guilty in his supposes death. They sent him to be killed and he almost was. Why shouldn't he feel that he had the right if there was a choice. Was he not allowed to feel this way?

"….given different circumstances…..maybe."

Sally and Sonic stared at him with surprise. They didn't think Siles would say yes, but they thought he would say no.

"You….would kill us?" Asked Sonic who couldn't believe this.

"If things were different." Said Siles with a glare

"What the hell have we ever done to you?!" Shouted Sonic who was confused.

"Plenty!" Said Siles.

"PLENTY?!" Shouted Sonic who went face to face with him, "WHAT THE FUCK!? WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU THAT WELL! HELL, WE ONLY MET A FEW MONTHS AND YOU STILL HATE US?"

"WHAT'S THERE TO KNOW!? AND BESIDES, GET USE TO IT."

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!" Cried Sally. Everyone was getting nervous at the two. Siles looked like he wanted to kill Sonic then and their, but Sonic looked like he didn't want to go out without a fight.

Sonic and Siles looked at each other before backing down.

Dewback smiled, pleased at the results.

Kit, you were played. You know they were doing that on purpose. Said Sparta, but Siles ignored him. He was getting stared at by Sonic and it looked like he wanted a fight. Good, he wanted some action. Not now kit! Focus on the task at hand!

Siles knew Sparta was right, but he really really could use a vent for his anger. Turning to Sally he said, "Look, I was going to just do this for my own purposes, but I think I have a way to find out if the threat is real or not. I just need an air vehicle that can get me there."

"Why? Is it far?" Asked Sally who wanted to help this for the sake of her child.

Siles sighed, this was the hard part, "It's in Las Vegas….that's a city in the human lands."

"THE HUMAN LANDS!?" Asked everyone, but Amy and Jake who weren't surprised.

"WHY ARE YOU GOING INTO THE HUMAN LANDS!! WHAT DO THEY HAVE!? WHAT INFORMATION!? ARE YOU SUSPECTING THEY ARE ALSO INVOVLED WITH A.R.C.A.N.O.?!" Shouted Councilman Timon who was red with anger. Try imaging that. A red angry elephant, kind of not pretty.

"No, there not involved. But it one of the greatest places to get information. I've been there dozens of times." Said Siles.

"Your highness! Siles knows information about the Inquisition; we can't risk it falling into the hands of the humans!" Said Timon.

"If the humans really wanted to know information about Mobius, they could have just hacked your systems. They have the best hackers. Or use their satellites to spy and record you guys. They're smarter then you think." Said Siles.

"And more dangerous then anything." Said Timon with a glare.

"Councilman Timon….I understand your concern….but if Siles feels that this is the best choice….I need to do this." Said Sally, "I'll ask Zazamel to lend you one of our transportation vehicles. However, if it pleases the council, I'll send a member of the Inquisition with him."

"I'll go." Said Amy before the council could say anything.

"There we go. Good luck you two." Said Sally.

Amy saluted before leaving with Siles and Jake.

"Wait. Why are you coming?" Asked Amy.

"Hello, Las Vegas?! City of Money, Sex, and Alcohol! No way am I missing out on this." Said Jake.

"Wait!" Said Sonic who grinned, "I'm interested in this Vegas place. I want in."

Siles stared at him like he was crazy, "Okay, the desert mission we took I was pissed and I let it go, but to Vegas?! Sonic if anybody finds out your king or even THE Sonic the Hedgehog, there's going to be trouble!"

"Can I help it if I'm popular?" Asked Sonic who shrugged.

"No, but you can help by being here." Said Siles who was really getting tired of this.

"Okay, how about this reason." Said Sonic who went into a serious look, "My son has been threatened and if where we are going has information about this threat then goddamnit I have a right to know."

Siles looked into Sonic's eyes and only saw the eyes of a father, a father willing to do anything for his child. A look Siles wished, deep inside, was for him so long ago.

Siles sighed, knowing it was useless, "Fine...but same rules as before...you do what I tell you."

Sonic saluted.

"Are you sure Sonic?" Asked Rotor.

Sonic grinned, "As long as Sal doesn't have problems. I can handle this place."

Sally nodded, "You know I can't stop you. I would even go myself if I could." She kissed him on the lips and softly said, "Just be careful."

Sonic nodded and followed Siles and the others to the hanger bay.

(Later, a few miles in the air near Las Vegas)

A lone airship was currently entering the air space of the Human lands. It was similar to the Imperial Cruiser that was in the sixth Star Wars movie, but it didn't have the two wings on its sides and was colored black with the Mobian Inquisition symbol on the wing in white.

Amy was currently piloting it from the inside while Jake was seated on the other side with Sonic and Siles watch them from behind.

A voice then came up on the com channel, "This is O.A.S.I.S. Las Vegas command post. Air vehicle please state your business, location, and reason for entering."

Amy pressed a few buttons and answered back the way Siles told her to answer, "Command, this is Mobian Inquisition Transporter Zulu 23. We are coming from Mobotropolis to bring Demon Hunter Siles "Bloodtail" Drowler for a visit to an old friend."

There was some silence till they received an answer, "Roger. Zulu 23 you are clear for landing."

Amy closed the com and answered, "So were heading to Las Vegas to find some place that will give us information huh?"

Siles nodded and said, "It's not really some place, but rather someone."

Jake turned around with an open mouth, "You mean….were going to meet Papa Midnite!?"

Amy and Sonic looked confused as Siles nodded.

"And who's Father Midnight?" Asked Sonic.

"Papa Midnight….and he's the best person to go to for information of any kind. He's got contacts everywhere in the world and I mean everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them were in your personal guards." Said Siles.

"Okay, so who is he?" asked Sonic.

Jake answered, "He's a demon. A very old one in fact. He once followed Satan, but left him because he couldn't stand him. But the thing was, unlike most demons that turn away from their evil path, he didn't turn to God. He couldn't accept that he was ruled by others so he stayed in his opinion "Neutral" and decided to live out his life helping both sides for his own gain."

"Sounds like a dangerous guy." Said Amy who had a bad feeling about this guy.

"It's true. He's a guy you don't want to mess with. Heck, even I'm sure I can make it out alive if I fought him. But he is the man for information and it doesn't come cheap." Said Siles who turned to Sonic and said, "Better get your wallet out."

"Why am I paying?" Asked Sonic.

"You said you would do anything to protect your son. So here's your job in all this." Said Siles as he went back into the room behind the cockpit.

Sonic shook his head, "That guy has issues….in fact it's like he rarely trusts people."

"He trusts me." Said Amy, "As well as Jake."

"Yeah, but I try being friendly to the guy and he looks at me like I'm trying to kill him." Said Sonic.

Jake sighed, Sonic didn't know how close he was with those words, "Well…it's not just you….Siles has had problems with trusting people in general…"

Amy looked at Jake and asked, "Why?"

Jake was silent for awhile, he knew who Siles really was. He was one of the few that Siles told, but while he respected his friend's reason for keeping his real identity a secret, a part of him wanted to see him get over his hatred with Sonic and Sally. After spending so much time near them, as well as with Bunnie and Rotor, he learned that the two really did regret their decision, but Siles was too blinded by his hate to see that.

"It's because…and don't tell him I said this…a long time ago he had a great number of friends…but something happened and….he was betrayed…." Said Jake who looked out the window, half telling the truth.

Amy and Sonic thought of this, Siles was betrayed?

They thought more of this as Amy settled them down into the port.

(Las Vegas)

If you think Las Vegas was amazing at the second millennium. You can only imagine now. Casinos were more virtual and brighter then ever with thousands to hundreds of thousand to them everywhere. Each one bigger and brighter then the next, taller then even most skyscrapers combined with their hotels. Fountains of silver, places of wonder, rich women and men of all kinds walking. And the excitement was not done there yet.

There were tons of restaurants, theme parks, clubs, malls, arcades, theaters, plays, hotels, houses, and banks that were beyond anything you would see in your imaginations. Each building was taller then skyscrapers and each was as beautiful and bright as the next one. It was like entering a world of wonder in wonderland, where money could be won or lost at every corner.

Amy and Sonic, who had never been outside the Mobian Lands, found all of this beyond anything they were expecting by a million to one.

"AMAZING!! Look at this place! It's like a country here!" Shouted Amy who was gasping at everything they saw as they walked down the streets with cars passing them.

"We don't have even this amount of technology in Mobotropolis, and it's our most advance city." Said Sonic.

"And so many…humans." Said Amy who never saw so much, "There's even Mobians here…and Mobians with humans…."

"There really surprised." Said Jake.

"What do you expect? It's a culture shock to them." Said Siles who felt better now that he was on really good land. He always preferred the Human Lands to the Mobian Lands, even though he loved his home; this was more of a place he would live in.

"Let's play at some of the casinos!" Shouted Sonic.

"HELL YEAH!" Shouted Jake, but before the two of them could dash away, Amy grabbed them both and said, "As much as I like to play too, we got a job to do. Besides you know the council would take this to suspicion if we were here for too long."

"Screw the Council." Said Sonic, but Siles replied, "Were getting the info and we are leaving. Don't forget your priorities, unlike the other times."

"What other times?" asked Sonic, but Siles was already ahead walking.

The four continued until they stopped at a very large club. Amy, Sonic, and Jake all stared at the place. It wasn't as futuristic as all the others, but there was an aura of the place.

"Club Midnite." Said Sonic, "Not that imaginative is he?"

They entered the main room where a large bald and bearded muscled human in bouncer clothes looked at them. He was silent as he held up a card with the face of it unknown to their eyes.

Three out of the four were confused till Siles said, "Two frogs on a Lilly."

The human turned the card and indeed there were two frogs on a Lilly.

Siles walked past him with Sonic and Amy eyeing him; for some reason they didn't think he was human.

Jake was a bit delayed on walking because he was trying to figure out what just happened. When he did move forward, he was stopped by the bouncer.

"Hey…I'm with them." Said Jake nervously as the bouncer looked at him stone cold.

He held up a card and Jake relaxed and said, "Two frogs on a Lilly."

The bouncer stopped him again and this time was glaring at him as he showed the card.

"A dog in a tutu?" Said Jake who gave a small laugh and shouted, "Siles! Help!"

Siles came back and said, "The human is with me."

The bouncer eyed Jake and let him go. Jake nodded and walked off, thinking he spent one of his lives on that guy and headed down a set of stairs with Sonic and Amy.

When the stairs ended, beside them were two doors in a big room with a large distance between them. The one on the right had a blue glowing aura around it and one could feel compassion and holiness coming from it. The one on the left was glowing a red aura and had a feeling of rage and darkness with it.

"What's this?" asked Sonic who was confused.

"Only people with demonic or angelic blood can enter this club. Any mortals have to be partied with them in order to enter here." Said Siles who pointed to the doors, "The right one is for those of angel blood, the left one for those of demon blood."

"Wait, angels are even on Earth too?" asked Sonic, even though he guessed it made sense that if demons where here then angels would be too.

"Yeah, but it's kind of different. True angels cannot cross the border unless it's on a duty from God. Instead the Nephilim are the ones who give the angel blood to mortals, but I'll explain it all later." Said Jake as Siles and the others headed to the left door.

"Wait, why are we going through the scary creepy and all down right demonic door?" Asked Sonic, "I mean, can't we take the other one?"

Siles looked at Sonic and said, "Unless one of us sprouts feathered white wings, then no. So come on, and no matter what you see, no fighting, no talking, and no getting involved with anybody. Some of the demons here are good, but there are also evil ones too. This is a neutral ground so don't get involved in any trouble. Especially you Sonic."

Sonic mumbled something, but Siles ignored it and opened the door.

A loud metal music chorus, one unheard of in mortal languages, started playing as soon as they entered the long red hallway. Upon entering the main room Jake, Sonic, and Amy were all paralyzed with fear. Surrounding them in the bar like club were dozens of demons or half demons, each in human or mobian skin. Various signs of the demonic blood could be seen such as black eyes, horns, fangs, bat wings, red skin, tattoos, spiked limbs, and others.

Siles ignored all this as he signaled the others to follow him past a trio of demonic humans feasting on a dead non anthro pig with their teeth. One of them glared at Jake who backed off.

A few of them were eyed at, but most ignored them. Amy couldn't help but feel that this was a place she shouldn't have come too. She later knew it was true when she saw a female black cat with black eyes and silver fangs blow into a mountain of water glasses and turned them all pitch black. Her friends then took one each and drank it.

Sonic caught the eye of the dance floor where many of the demonic beings were dancing naked or with barely any clothes on the floor. Most of the dances were pure sexual and full of lust, it only got more dangerous when blood started to come down from the ceiling and rain on them making the demons lick it off each others bodies for the taste.

"How often….do you come here?" asked Sonic who tried not to barf.

"Not that often." Said Siles before a bunch of leather bikini girls, both human and mobian demons, came in front of him and said, "Hi Silessssss!"

Amy glared at them while Sonic was confused and Jake felt a boner coming on.

Did her….did her…did her…did we do her? Yeah, six times I think. Said Sparta remembering every time Siles went to bed with them and pleasure he felt with it.

It was only for information…nothing more…Said Siles.

Keep telling yourself that. Said Sparta.

I doubt these girls can handle me though. They all seem like child's play.Said Nevan who found this humorous.

One of the girls, a fox, went over to Siles's shoulders and said, "Siles…I got some new info for you….its juicy."

Another one, this time a white human with red hair, went over to Siles's side and said, "But I have tons as well…." She then licked his cheek, "In fact, why don't we discuss this at my place?"

Siles sighed as he tried to ignore his demons telling him to ask for a harem.

"Girls…I can't deal with this…I got to speak to Papa Midnite." Said Siles.

"Awwww…" Said the girls who looked like Santa Claus just died.

"I wanted to see that 8 inch friend of yours down there again."

Amy, Sonic, and Jake dropped their mouths for various reasons.

Siles blushed like crazy, "Please girls."

They smiled and blew kisses before walking away. Siles looked at the trio who stared at him with both amazement, and from the guys, jealously. He continued to blush out of embarrassment and wondered what they were thinking.

Eight inches……..Thought Amy who couldn't help but think some nasty things in her mind.

What kind of Viagra are people taking these days? Thought Sonic who felt his manhood threatened.

…..I'm only five and a half….Thought Jake who was insanely jealous.

Siles just sighed again and said, "Let's just go."

They nodded and slowly followed him to the end of the club where a door was, after opening it they entered another large room with a golden door at the opposite end. Siles turned around once more and said, "I'll do all the talking…so don't say a word."

Not even Sonic argued, they all wanted to get out of here fast.

Siles opened the door and they entered the room of Papa Midnite.

It was as demonic as they others thought it would be, but it was interesting. It was a large purple room with the usual couches, chairs, and mini bar, but there were also other decorations. Shrunken heads, Celtic made chains, Italian paintings, various swords from eastern countries, a Koran, Bible, and Torah all next to each other in class casings, and others.

At the end was Papa Midnite, an African American dressed in purple clothing with various chains around his neck. He had his hair laid down and a strange Hati symbol for Peace on his forehead. He was playing around with some Tarot cards when he looked up and said, "Greetings…Siles, Sonic, Amy, Jake…take a seat."

Siles nodded and took one in front of Papa Midnite.

Sonic then asked, "How do you know us?"

Siles sighed in frustration; didn't he say to be quiet?

"I make it my business to know." Said Papa Midnite before signaling them to sit.

After everyone was sat, Siles turned to Papa Midnite and said, "I'll be up straight here. I need info."

"That's what I got…but it's not cheap." Said Papa Midnite, not taking his eyes off his cards as he flipped through them.

"My friend will pay for it…" Said Siles.

Midnite nodded and asked, "What do you want to know?"

Siles spoke with a serious tone, "A couple of contacts I know in O.A.S.I.S. said that some equipment was stolen from their secret storage facilities. All the men were killed, blasted by lasers. Thing is one of these people managed to write a dying message in his own blood. It was spelled Arcano. Are they involved?"

Papa Midnite said, "Yeah …."

"I need to know what was in there." Said Siles.

"Some Space Station building materials and equipment…nothing too major…" Said Papa Midnite.

"What demons did they use?" Asked Siles.

"None."

He gave a confused look, "Mortals?"

"No."

Now Siles was really confused, "Then what?"

"Can't tell."

Those were words that he didn't want to hear. He mumbled some curses before saying, "You're in business with them aren't you?"

Papa Midnite nodded, "It's my game Siles. I play with anybody as long as I am left alone."

"For Christ sake…your going to have to pick a damn side someday Midnite….just pray you pick the right one." Said Siles.

"Are you done?" Midnite asked in a bored voice.

After calming down, the red colored fox said, "Now, I got more to ask. The Prince of the Mobius. Hermes has been threatened By A.R.C.A.N.O. I need to know what is that deal."

"That I don't know too much about…only the one who is involved in it." Said Papa Midnite.

Everyone listened in as he answered, "He calls himself…The Emperor."

Great….another Arcana Demon….They all thought as they also remembered that with each one dead, the others get stronger so who knows how powerful this one was.

"Can you give me any other information? Seriously here." Said Siles which was answered with a shake of the head.

Not happy with his answer Siles thought for awhile till he said, "Then let me use….the chair."

Papa Midnite stopped playing cards and looked at Siles with concerned eyes, "Siles….I will not…under any circumstances…let anybody use the chair….it's too dangerous."

"I say let him use the chair…hell knows he lives on the danger side of life." Said a strange British voice.

Everyone turned around to see a well Italian business suited man with a devilish smirk and a handsome but deadly face of a human with brown hair. He looked like a business man, but there was an aura that did not make you want to deal with this guy if you were smart. While Amy, Jake, and Sonic were trying to figure out who this guy was and how he got here Siles jumped to his feet and growled. Sparta was also growling inside his head as well with Cerberus and Nevan watching with interest.

"Balthazar…" Hissed Siles with disgust in his voice, it was obvious that he hated this guy.

The one addressed as Balthazar smiled as he said, "Charming to meet you again Siles…did you like the demons I sent your target in Downunder…"

Siles took out his Ivory pistol and stepped up to Balthazar and said, "I'll send you somewhere…a one way ticket to hell!" He pointed it at his face dead on.

Papa Midnite slammed his hands on the table and yelled, "YOU KNOW THE RULES OF MY HOUSE!! NO FIGHTING!!!"

Siles glared at both of them before putting his pistol away, "You're lucky."

"I'm sure…" Said Balthazar with a smirk before looking at Sonic and Amy and said, "Oh Siles, I heard rumors…but I can't believe it…Your actually hanging out with Sonic the Hedgehog…I thought you would stay away from Mobotropolis my…Kitsune…friend."

The glaring from Siles only increased, Balthazar knew who he was and if he told anything….

Both Amy and Sonic however were confused at this, but it was obvious that the two had a history together…

"I thought you would sway from being so close to others…considering your friends betrayed you and almost killed you for something you were not and yet, you were." Said Balthazar.

"Say one more word…and I will…I swear to God…kill you…rules be damned." Said Siles with venom in his throat.

The tension between the two was thick, so thick that not even an explosion could distract the intensity the two were making against one another.

Finally, Papa Midnite spoke, "Balthazar…settle down…Siles….if there is nothing else then leave….I have business to discuss with him. I will send the bill later."

Siles nodded and ordered the others to follow him out, but before they did Balthazar spoke once more and said, "Oh and Sonic…do be careful around the fox…after all he won't forgive you for that one day…"

"Move now!" Said Siles getting tired of this fucking shit as he pushed them out of the room before Sonic could ask questions.

When they were out of the room, Siles said, "No questions….about what he said or anything that came out of his fucking mouth….got it!"

They nodded.

"Who was he?" asked Amy thinking this was alright to ask.

Siles answered with some hesitation, "His names Balthazar, a popular demon name…he's a contract demon. Level 5. He gives contracts to who ever pays him the most money and gives them an army or legion of demons."

"And you let a guy like that live for so long? You obviously hate him so why don't you waste his demonic ass." Said Sonic.

"Because some of his clients are good guys. Balthazar is like Midnite, neutral…he works with anybody, good or evil. He's greedy, that's all." Said Siles, "I waste him now, I won't get good business myself. Trust me I've known him for a long time. Nearly every major case I've gotten has him giving the enemy demonic armies. He might even be working for A.R.C.A.N.O."

"How did you guys meet?" Asked Sonic.

Siles was silent for that question and even Sparta was. That mission was a big effect on them…and it was something they didn't want to talk about.

Seeing it was a big deal, Amy said, "Does it matter. We go the info…let's just head home."

They all nodded and did, but Sonic was thinking about what Balthazar said on the way back.

(Later, at the Inquisition HQ, Mobotropolis)

He'll never forgive me for that one day? What day? Thought Sonic as he walked through the halls thinking. Sonic had never been more confused in his entire life and it all was around that demonic hunter, Bloodtail.

It's obvious he knows me from somewhere. We must have met one time, but I can't remember…

Not to mention Balthazar said that he would "Never forgive him for that day". But what day was that?

What was really annoying is that Siles hated him. Well so did Robotnick and the other villains he faced. But this guy was on his side and he never had that. Well, except that one time Robotnick put in that plan that made everybody think he killed Sally, but that failed.

Sonic shook his head from all the thinking as he entered his room with Sally on the king sized bed looking at invitations while his son was sleeping in his crib. Sonic was confused, but then he remembered that Sally had been planning a ball at the Acorn Estate in Knothole.

That was something he wasn't looking forward too, he would have to dress up and act all polite and speak to a bunch of rich snobby jerks. At least Rotor, Bunnie, the children, Amy, Knuckles and his son were coming. But so were the council and St. John, which was something he wasn't looking forward too.

He got in front of the bed and noticed a lot of people were coming, more then he expected in fact.

"Geez, Sal….why don't you invite all of Mobius while your at it?" Asked Sonic with a smirk.

Sally continued what she was doing without looking and Sonic and said, "We need something to lift back our sprits Sonic. Remember how back in Knothole, during the war we always had dances or plays to try and keep morale up. I think we should do that with this ball. I'm even inviting old Freedom Fighters we haven't spoken too in so long."

As she continued to talk, Sonic walked over to his son and smiled as he saw his blood and flesh dream peacefully. Sonic was really worried about the threat issued, but so would any father. He knew he had a lot of enemies, many domestic, but he was going to do anything to make sure his son was alive. To him Hermes was more then just a son, he was his redemption.

Shame filled his heart as he touched the scar on his chest, the one that he made himself. He failed his bro, his little best friend Tails. And now, he was gone. But Sonic would never let that happen again. He had to move forward, and that was with Hermes.

He briefly wondered if Hermes would ever hate him if he knew what he once did to somebody who was suppose to be his godfather. He had planned Tails not only to be the godfather of his son should he die, but also the hero of Mobius. Mobius needed a hero, somebody to look up too. He was still that hero, but it was fading fast. He wasn't going to be around forever. Tails was going to be his successor when he finally fell or couldn't go on fighting anymore. Now he had burdened his son with it and he didn't even know if he had his super speed or not.

"Sonic."

He turned around to see Sally looking at him with concerned eyes, "Are you alright?"

Forcing a smile, he nodded and said, "Yeah….everything's fine."

Sally knew he was lying, but she kept it to herself. He knew he would just deny it, he was that stubborn.

"Sonic…how did Las Vegas go?"

Sonic excitedly told her everything. As she listened she was amazed by the technology and power the humans had. She knew they were great, but this was amazing, no wonder people preferred living there. Deep in her heart, she knew they would make great allies, but the council and many others who were sour about Overlanders didn't see the difference between the two and wanted them to be separated from the others.

When she heard about Papa Midnite and Balthazar as well as what he said to Sonic, she began to think and wonder as well, where had they met Siles?

"And your saying he was betrayed?" asked Sally, "That's why he doesn't trust others easily."

"That's what Jake said." Said Sonic, "But he trusts Amy, Rotor, and Bunnie. In fact…they've kind of opened up more since he's gotten here."

That was true. Bunnie mostly stayed alone with her daughter, Cream. Before, they rarely ever saw each other or stayed in contact which hurt Sally, but now she was able to spend time with her best friend once more and Cream had found two new play mates, Hanyo and Aristotle.

Rotor was still his new cynical and smoking self, but he seemed happier with Siles around.

And then there was Amy….now Sally was not stupid and could see she was starting to have some sort of affection for him. And Siles was feeling the same as well. The thing was the two were holding back. Why Siles was she didn't know, but for Amy it was perfectly clear.

Tails.

As much as Amy didn't know or denied it, there was something in her heart that made her want Tails more then a friend when they were growing up despite her obsession with Sonic at that age. Now that he was gone her heart was confused and Sally was responsible.

She still remembered the time Amy assaulted her the day Tails died and yelled every insulting word to her that pierced her heart because all of it was true. She knew she deserved it, hell she wanted to be punished more.

Sally looked at Sonic and said, "Well, maybe we'll get him to trust us with this plan."

Sonic looked at Sally with confusion, "What plan?"

She took an invitation and handed it to Sonic who gasped at it and looked at Sally with open eyes.

(Later, Siles's apartment)

"WHAT? YOU'VE BEEN INVITED TO THE BALL TOO?!" Said Amy, Bunnie, and Rotor, with Hanyo and Cream watching.

Siles took out the invitation regretfully and sighed, "Yeah, peachy huh?"

"What's so wrong about going to a ball Mr. Siles? Balls are pretty and people get to dance with people and have fun!" Said Cream smiling as ever.

"Yeah, it seems really cool. Maybe you can get a dance with Amy here." Said Hanyo snickering which made Amy and Siles blush with Bunnie and Rotor smiling.

"Hanyo remind me to double your training's intensity." Said Siles before looking at the older ones and said, "Any reason you can think I am invited?"

"Because you saved Mobotropolis twice, you rescued the Royal Family, you defeated many demons of a cult that are trying to cause disorder, and you're famous everywhere on earth and your rich as hell." Said Rotor smoking.

With a sigh Siles thought, He's right….

You know they're trying to be friendly with you. Said Cerberus, I say go. It might be entertaining.

Besides that, you got other problems. Said Sparta who told him to look at his left arm.

Eyeing down in that direction, he noticed that a spot of his arm was turning yellow.

"Crap." Said Siles.

"Language. And what?" asked Bunnie who eyed her daughter.

"I'm running low on Fur Dye and I have to get a new bottle." Said Siles.

"I didn't know you dyed your fur? What's your original color?" asked Rotor.

"Yellow, normal for most foxes." Said Siles. He was a bit worried that his friends might recognized him if his entire fur dye was gone, but most foxes were yellow so as long as most of it was still on by the end of the day he would be fine.

But don't you use water proofing ones? The only one you have left is non water proof.Said Nevan.

Siles cursed in his head. He made a note in his mind to pick up the water proof ones later.

"So are you coming? Knuckles and the Chaotix are going to be there." Said Bunnie.

"Does that mean Aristotle is coming too?" Asked Cream and Hayno who were excited to be meeting their friend.

Bunnie smiled and nodded which made the two six year olds jump for joy. Siles looked at everyone and thought maybe it would be alright to go with everyone. After all, everyone else looked happy and…Siles…really wanted to be with them…

What about your fur dye? Asked Sparta.

As long as I'm not near any water I can just take the water proof one. The only thing that annoys me is I'm going to have to wear a suit.

(Acorn Estate, Knothole, three days later)

As customary for a royal family to have many estates for special occasions, Knotholes was no different. After the war with Robotnick, Sally asked for one to be build and designed in a way that was similar to those they had in the Human Lands. The designer made it very similar to The Breakers Mansion, but instead of having it in the middle of a forest or a clear grass area he made it fit in a large park that stood in the middle of Knothole surrounded by various tall buildings.

The party was to be filled with the best catering, servants, musicians, and of course the best people to be invited. Politicians, military, celebrities, and various others were to be expected. And where these people go, the press follows. It took both the Police and Inquisition to keep back the entire press that gathered around the entire park and estate. Pictures and films were being taken every second as guests arrived one by one.

Inside the estate, the guests were socializing with each other about day to day topics and occasionally taking small plates of food and drinking wine to hold them over till dinner was ready.

For a person who is used to this sort of life style, this was an ordinary day. And for those who were not…

"Goddamn tie, I fucking hate wearing these things." Said Siles as he entered the main room with a tux, black pants (with a hole for his large tail) and a black tie.

"You think that's bad. I got wear these shoes that are killing my heels." Said Amy, she was in a simple black gown with red high heeled shoes that looked very tight on her feet.

"Amen to that Amy girl." Said Bunnie who felt. She wore light blue gown with red roses on the straps with a pair of blue high heeled shoes.

"I think you look beautiful Miss Amy." Said Cream who just had a simple kids pink dress while Hanyo was beside her and fidgeting with his mini tux. After all, a kid who's lived on the street most of his life was not use to wearing anything like this, especially if one of your arms is a huge demonic one. It took some time for a tailor to get that done, even though it made the tux look funny.

"But I think the worse is the press." Said Rotor who also had a tux on, "I mean, god I must be blind."

"Where's Jake?" asked Amy.

"Probably still flirting with that reporter….and here comes Mr. Failure now." Said Bunnie smiling as a tux wearing Jake came in with a large slap mark on his face.

"Not…a….word…" Said Jake heading in to find a bar.

"Actually, the face tells a thousand." Said Rotor making everyone laugh.

"Come on, let's head in." Said Siles as they entered the main ball room straight ahead where already many had gathered.

Rotor was about to take out a cigarette when somebody came and swiped it away from him.

"Can't smoke in here Roty!" Said Charmy as flew down where Knuckles, Aristotle, Victor, and Espio were waiting for them.

"Give that back or I'll get the bug spray." Said Rotor glaring at Charmy.

"Aw, you wouldn't want to hurt this little bee would you?" Said Charmy giving the Bambi eyes.

"More like a fly, really annoying." Said Rotor.

Vector chuckled and said, "Sorry Rotor, but Sally made us be sure to tell you that you can't smoke here. You have to go outside."

"Rich….really rich…" Said Rotor.

"You'll live." Said Bunnie.

Siles noticed that any of the Chaotix had anything formal, just the same last time he saw them. Knuckles and Aristotle however, had strange white robes on with blue streaks heading down the sleeves.

"Good to see you again." Said Knuckles with his son in tow. Aristotle nodded shyly and then looked at the ground.

Still can't get over that fact on how shy the kid is.Said Siles, nothing he would expect from the son of both Knuckles and Julie-Su.

"Mommy, why are Mr. Knuckles and Aristotle wearing dresses?" Asked Cream innocently.

Everyone else, but Aristotle and Knuckles, laughed from what Cream said.

After gaining a bit of her breath back she said, "Honey, there…well…heheh not dresses…hehe...there…what are they Knuckles?"

Knuckles said, "There ceremonial robes. We wear them for special occasions."

"Really, they still look like dresses." Said Hanyo smirking.

Aristotle made some sign language to his father who grumbled, "Yes…yes…I know…I know…you were right."

Seeing that the knuckle head had been embarrassed enough Siles said, "Bunnie, why don't you take the kids some place where they can hang out. I doubt there's anything that might interest them here. Especially, with all snobs."

Bunnie nodded and lead the children out.

"Thanks." Said Knuckles.

"No problem…Miss. Knuckles." Said Siles smirking.

Charmy laughed before taking off to look for some food with Vector and Jake following him. Espio nodded to Siles and Knuckles with a smirk before taking his leave to who knows where, leaving Amy, Rotor, Siles, and Knuckles to themselves.

"Want to get a drink?" Asked Amy, getting a nod from the others. They walked over to a small bar where the bartender gave them all a strong glass of Gin. "So how's the party going?" Asked Siles taking a sip.

"Boring." Said Knuckles, "I'll I've done is shake hands and talk to people I barely know or remember. All of them are acting like nothing's going on in the world. Meanwhile, you got demons left and right everywhere."

"I say it's a good thing. I mean, we all need to take a break once and awhile." Said Rotor who sighed, "Kind of sucks thought….I mean we finish with Robotnick and then we get A.R.C.A.N.O. Is there any break for heroes like us?"

"What do you mean "Heroes like us?" Asked Amy, "Siles and I do the most work out of all four of you now. Sure you had Robotnick, but we got demons."

"Guess just the times. I mean the old do overtake the new." Said Rotor taking a huge gulp of his glass.

"Well, everybody is helping in their own way. Look at you, you make the equipment that helps the Inquisition fight off the demons right?" Asked Siles getting a nod from Rotor, "So in a way you're helping."

"How about the Floating Island? What are you guys up to Knuckles?" Asked Amy.

With a heavy sigh, Knuckles said, "….We lost half of our council." This got the three of them staring at Knuckles who said, "It was the same guy. The Moon, an Arcana Demon right? Well, he came in one day during a full moon and he wiped out anything that stood in his way. Many didn't survive…any that did went insane."

"Shit." Said Rotor.

I'm guessing this guy's is a night walker. He seems to have been powered by the moon itself. This would make sense.Said Sparta

"Want me to deal with him?" asked Siles who knew he was going to face these Arcana sooner or later.

Knuckles said, "Don't bother…O.A.S.I.S. might be coming in."

"O.A.S.I.S?!"

The guardian nodded and said, "After the last attack, many of the Echidnas are staring to want an alliance with the human lands. It's not a surprise since they've been doing well with the current attacks on their lands."

"Council is not going to like this, especially Timon." Said Amy.

"Yeah, well fuck them. Who gives a shit what they think." Said Siles.

"Maybe the people with decent minds."

All three turned to their left to see the five Councilmen looking at them with neutral faces. They also saw St. John, with a few other Seraphs with them.

"By decent minds do you mean those on crack?" Asked Siles.

"Humor will get you nowhere Mr. Bloodtail." Said Councilman Dewback with a glare.

Siles glared back, but suddenly everybody's attention was too the back of the ballroom where two people had entered, none other then the King and Queen.

King Sonic was wearing rose red royal clothing with the proud crest of the Acorns on his left chest. A small ceremonial dagger stood by his him with a golden sheath. On his back was a red and blue cloak with Acorn symbol on it in silver and gold coloring. The final thing left was the crown on his head to symbolize his position.

Queen Sally was wearing a white furred coat that extended to the floor and got the eye of many. She was also wearing a diamond colored dress with platinum earrings and an emerald (not a chaos one) necklace around her neck. She wore silver high shoes and her crown on her head that symbolized her position.

Everyone but a few people clapped when they saw the royal couple, all but a few obvious people. Siles noticed them coming this way and tried to leave, but it was too crowded.

Great….Thought Siles as the two came forward with smiles.

"Everyone, nice to see you." Said Sally smiling.

"Your majesty. You and your husband look amazing." Said Councilman Dewback as he and the other 4 bowed, "I do say on behalf of all of us that we thank you for inviting us to this event. Lord knows what we can use some relaxation from all the….demons around us."

Siles knew they were giving off some glances; a few people besides the council had been doing that. It didn't take a mind reader that some of them didn't find his presence very humble.

Screw them. There just jealous that you got three demons helping out. One who is a legend to men, one who has guarded the gates of hell since he can remember, and the other who is as sexy angel with black wings. Said Cerberus

Oh….good boy…very good boy…Said Nevan.

Siles could hear Cerberus getting "petted" and him enjoying it while Sparta was mumbling how lucky the dog was.

"Are you enjoying yourselves?" Asked Sally.

"Not really." Said Siles who looked around, "These things really aren't my kind of party."

"I hear ya." Said Sonic wishing he was at any other place then this. Hey, rich life it's all that good.

"So Siles…." Said Sally ignoring Sonic, "I'm glad you came to the party. I was hoping this would be a chance to improve our relations…"

Siles sighed as everyone around them stared, "You know Sally…one thing I can honesty say about you….it's that you try too damn hard to do things you know that can't happen."

Sally frowned, "I fail to see trying to be kind to you is a bad thing. I know you disagree with our politics and you obvious hold a grudge that neither Sonic nor I can understand because we haven't met you since that attack on Mobotropolis. I want to know what is it that makes you hate us so."

Siles looked at Sonic and Sally with a deep dark glare, "Listen….and listen well….I will….and never will….like either of you…be friends with you….hell I don't want to even be in the same room breathing the same air with you two….I don't care what you do…nothing in this world is going to make me want to go all hugs and kisses on you guys…nor will I say anything else on the subject. If it wasn't for the fact that I have personal reasons for staying…I would leave this town in a heartbeat."

Everyone took in the words that Siles just said before he took his drink and started to leave.

Sonic looked at his wife and saw she felt saddened by the way she failed in trying to make Siles accept her. Sonic finally couldn't take anymore of this shit. He followed Siles to the middle of the room and yelled, "Siles! Stop right there!"

Everyone quieted down as Siles stopped with his back facing Sonic.

Jake, with Bunnie, saw that something bad was going to happen with all this. The demons in Siles mind could see as well and kept silent.

Siles didn't turn around, but mealy said, "What?"

"You know what! Apologize to my wife…now!" Said Sonic who decided it was time for the gloves to come off and get the guy to lighten up.

"For what? All I did was say what I've been saying…I don't like you nor do I want to like you." Said Siles.

"You got problems. Have you ever heard of giving people second changes or getting to know them?" Said Sonic.

Second changes? What second chance? And he knew them more then anybody else did.

"What does it matter?" Asked Siles.

"It matters to us….you keep treating us like were a pair of SWAT Bots." Said Sonic.

"I'd rather be friends with them then you." Said Siles meaning it. Everyone just could see the tension rise. Sally tried to get Sonic to stop, but Sonic didn't see her hand signals.

"You have no right!" Said St. John about to strike him, but Siles elbowed him the face and sent him to the ground, ignoring him.

Siles was about to continue walking when Sonic took a deep sigh and said something on a list of stupid things that never should have ever been said in front of Siles face.

"Man….no wonder your former friends betrayed you."

Siles stopped wide eyed, both shocked and surprised at that statement.

Jack, Sparta, Cerberus, and Nevan both thought two words…..oh shit…

"What….what did you say?" Said Siles turning towards his former best friend, shocked even hearing them.

"You heard me….why did they betray you Siles? Huh? What reason….was it because you're a half demon?" Said Sonic.

Flashbacks came to Siles head.

"SHUT UP YOU….YOU…MONSTER!!!"

Yes, your under arrest for murder, treason, conspiring with demons, use of demon magic, and being a demon yourself…..demon."

No…I'm not a demon…I swear to the gods and the Ancient Walkers…I'm not a demon!"

"Or was it because your treated them like crap like you've been doing to us!" Shouted Sonic.

Siles gritted his teeth as he tried to ignore the thoughts….

"SONIC!! YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM!!! I'M NOT A DEMON!! SONIC!!!"

"SONIC PLEASE!! SONIC!!!"

"SHUT UP!!" Cried Siles grabbing his head as anger and hatred pour deeper and deeper in the wounds that Sonic and the others put in him so long ago.

Sonic didn't stop he just kept going, "We tried being nice and this is how your repay us!?"

The case of Miles Prowler vs. the Kingdom of Acorn will now commence. Would the defendant please say his plea?"

"YEAH!! KILL HIM!!"

"KILL HIM WHILE HE IS WEAK!!"

"DEATH TO THE DEMON!!"

"PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!!"

"KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!"

"STOP IT!!!" Cried Siles who shook with rage.

"SONIC STOP!!" Cried Amy and Jack who, like everyone else, saw this was more then Siles could take.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE SO PERFECT!! HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANYBODY JUDGE YOU!!" Shouted Sonic, "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOU FAILED THEM AND HATE YOU!!

"How does the council find the defendant?"

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

"Guilty."

Tails' heart fell into the dark oblivion of despair.

"Does the Princess wish to overthrow our verdict?" Asked Councilman Dewback.

"………………..no….." Said Sally softly.

Tails fell on his knees, "No…NO! AUNT SALLY! YOU KNOW I'M INNOCENT!! PLEASE!!!"

"How does the council wish to punish the defendant?" Asked Sally ignoring him.

"AUNT SALLY NO!! PLEASE!!" Shouted Tails who then turned to his friends where they were and said, "YOU KNOW ME!! WERE FRIENDS!! WE KNOW I'M NOT A DEMON!!!"

"Death."

"ROTOR!!"

"Death."

"BUNNIE!!"

"Death"

"ANTOINE"

"Death."

"SONIC!!!!!!!!"

"Death."

"AUNT SALLY!!" He cried turning to her with tears falling down.

"Does the Princess with to overthrow our verdict?" Asked Councilmen Dewback.

"….no…" Said Sally who closed her eyes.

Tails hope was shattered.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

Death.

That was his fate.

Death.

"YOU DON'T CARE FOR ANYBODY! YOU FEEL NOTHING!!!" Shouted Sonic.

"I LOVED YOU!!! I LOVED YOU LIKE YOU WERE MY OWN FAMILY!!! I LOVED YOU!!!"

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cried Siles who tackled Sonic head on, sending across the ball, through the windows and out into the park surprising everybody as they separated from each other.

Everyone ran over to the large hole and saw the two stand up, glaring at each other as if they were sworn enemies. Sonic ripped of his clothes and his cloak, preferring to fight with only his gloves and feet. Siles did the same with his tux and tie, leaving his pants on however.

Sally, Amy, Knuckles, the Chaotix, Jake, Rotor, Bunnie, the council, and the kids all saw the intensity the two were emitting and every one of them knew that nobody could stop this fight.

Nobody this time would stand down.

Sparta, Cerberus and Nevan saw this ahead of time and stopped the flow of power they were giving to Siles so he wouldn't outright kill Sonic, but Siles still had his own separate demonic power as well as the physical abilities he trained himself to gain over five years.

But Sonic still had a shot of giving Siles a good fight, he had his super speed and was a veteran at fighting.

But no matter what advantage they had, both were not going to get away from this fight without getting hurt; that was clear.

Siles stared at Sonic, all his anger, all his rage, sorrow, and everything he held on deep in his heart for five years was now directed at this one person. The one person who he loved as a brother, would die for, and looked up to since he could think was the one person he hated more then anything in the world. He killed him. He betrayed him. He let him suffer.

Siles didn't care who was watching or what was happening or anything. All that mattered to him was beating the living fucken shit out of Sonic the Hedgehog.

A deep silence dwelled in the entire park as not even the press was doing anything, but stand still and wait for the tension to stop building up and unleash.

…..

….

….

….

….

A small tear from the sky came down, followed by thousands of others.

Rain.

It started pouring outside, but nobody noticed it, Sonic and Siles least of all.

The two kept staring at each other….until they both moved in a flash at the same time.

(Now playing: Stricken, Artist: Disturbed, Congratulations KellosPrower15 you win)

The two of them were like a blink until they appeared in front of each other with a hard straight punch to the others face, knocking them back a bit before they charged again at each other, only faster.

This time Siles blocked Sonics' fist before punching him in the stomach, stunning him for another three shots in the face. Sonic, ignoring the pain, punched Siles one more time in the face before spinning around and kicking him in the left ribs, and jumping in the mid air for another kick to the face.

Siles gathered his footing and turned around only to get a Spin Dash that knocked him down to the ground, cutting his chest a bit. Sonic tried to Spin Dash from above, but Siles managed to roll over and flip back on his feet.

Sonic tried to flip in mid air and redirect himself, but Siles jumped up first, surpassing him and grabbed him by the waist before throwing him down to the ground and followed it with an elbow slam on Sonic back, causing him to cry out in pain. Siles got up and started kicking him while Sonic was down, but Sonic managed to catch one of his feet and threw him off before getting up again.

The two then started fighting in hand to hand combat faster then anybody could see, it was like in those DBZ episodes where you see them moving faster and faster every second. At one point they were on one side blocking and attack then another place and another, even in the air. But it wasn't just brawling; it was like two experts going at it.

Think a fight between Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee….yeah that intense.

The two kept at it for quite some time, neither getting a better shot then the other that was really decisive. That was until both of them appeared in the middle of the air and dived towards the other. Sonic with his Spin Dash and Siles with a spinning corkscrew like kick. The two attacks managed to hit at the same time and send both flying into opposite nearby buildings.

Everyone started heading down to the park, most wanted to the see the fight, but the few were worried about what was happening.

Siles shook his head and glared at where Sonic was imprinted on the building. His body was sore and was bleeding, but so was Sonic. However, with that blood dripping down his body was also red dye.

Sonic and Siles both kicked off with all their strength towards each other in the air. Sonic managed to strike Siles with a left hook before both of them jumped off the opposite buildings and jumped again at each other. This time Siles got Sonic with a spinning kick.

They jumped again; Sonic with a front kick.

And again; Siles with a uppercut

And again; Sonic with a flip kick

Till they were at the top of both buildings, high into the air and Siles head butted Sonic, grabbed his feet and started spinning around with him in mid air till he threw him into the left building, straight through the glass and wall and into a bunch of cubicles.

Sonic mounded in pain as he watched from the window he came out of that Siles had positioned himself on the opposite building and started building his energy. He gave a loud war cry and jumped straight at him like a missile with the glass that broke from the launch following him.

Sonic gasped as he jumped up at the last second and had Siles miss him by a second, making him fly into the wall with the glass piercing his back. Siles ripped most of it off and growled, nothing was fazing him and the pain meant nothing.

Sonic landed back on the ground and dashed as Siles, who dashed at him again. They slammed into each other and tried to push the other back, gritting their teeth with sweat and blood falling down their bodies as they went beyond their limits. Three times they head butted each other at the same time till Sonic went with a low knee blow in the stomach stunning Siles. Sonic then did an upper hammer blow with his fist to Siles's face sending the demon fox up through the ceiling and into the next floor.

Sonic jumped up with two back flip kicks, but was send down by Siles with a counter spin kick. Sonic just flipped back on his feet and jumped up again and caught Siles in mid air with a Spin Dash and started shooting him up and up and up through each floor of the building until they went right through the roof and were up in the air again.

Siles knew he had to counter attack and did something incredible. He actually grabbed Sonic while he was spin dashing and kept holding on to him as he felt his own hands getting shredded, but ignored the pain again. He then kicked Sonic in the face, stopping the Spin Attack and started kicking him and kicking him with combos that would make Chun-Li jealous. He then slammed his heel into Sonic body and, with him under it, forces the two of them down through the roof and through all the floors till they slammed down on the first floor with a loud slam.

For a while everyone outside, watch the fight wondered if it was all over.

CRASH!

Siles came out flipping into the air and landed with a crater like crash in the park. Everyone slowly saw him get up, bleeding and dripping with rain. They didn't notice it, but nearly half his red dye was gone and half of it was yellow now.

Sonic also came out of the building.

The crowded judged the two, both were bleeding, black with bruises the size of mountains, sweating, and yet they wanted to keep going.

Either of their friends or loved ones could believe what they saw. It was like a battle that could shake the world if fought.

A battle between two friends

Two rivals

Two enemies

Two brothers

Sonic and Siles both roared again and ran forward with their super speed once more crashing into each other that sent a shock wave that made even the rain look like an explosion hit them. Sonic however, managed to recover first and slam his fist into Siles's face, sending him once more into the air. Siles gritted his teeth as he felt the intensity of the air resistance trying to push him down and stop him from going upward, but then he felt pain from behind, and then to his right and his left and from all over.

Sonic had suddenly jump as soon as he hit Siles and started Spin Dashing him like crazy, moving like a crazy atom he kept attacking him and kept him in mid air as he danced around like a crazy blue ball of light.

Siles could feel the blood draining from him, he could feel his energy wiping him out.

It was then, that he did something….something he never swore to do, but instincts got the best of him.

He unfolded his large, now yellow tail, into two.

He started spinning them around….and started to fly.

Everyone, Sonic, Sally, Amy, Bunnie, Rotor, Knuckles, Espio, Charmy, Vector, Hanyo, Cream, Aristotle, St. John, the council, everybody there gasped and saw what they hadn't seen in five years.

A two tailed fox flying in mid air.

Siles used this opportunity to slam into Sonic with his tails still spinning like crazy, thanks to this added boost he was faster then ever. He started copying Sonics' move and started attack him like crazy from all direction, so fast you could hardly see him. Siles then appeared, all his fur dye gone and his tails unloosed and slammed into Sonic, sending both of them down into the ground like a meteor.

BOOOOOM!!!!

(End Song)

Everyone covered their eyes as the dust finally settled and saw Siles, all yellow with his tails still out, on top of Sonic and punching him in the face. Sonic looked defeated, broken and wasn't putting up any resistance.

Siles was still shouting and shouting, but with those shouts were tears. Falling down his face like a waterfall.

"HUH!! HUH!!! YOU LIKE THAT!! HUH! COME ON!!!" Cried Siles as he punched Sonic again, "YOU BASTARD!! YOU KILLED ME!! I TRUSTED YOU!! I LOVED YOU! I THOUGHT OF YOU AS A BROTHER AND YOU REPLAY ME WITH EXECUTION!!! I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!! YOU!! SALLY! THE COUNCIL! EVERYONE!! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!! YOU BASTARD!!!"

He kept punching, but every punch got weaker and weaker until he stopped and cried over Sonic's face asking the one question he never had answered, "Why….why? Sonic why?.....why? TELL ME WHY!!!? WHY DID I HAVE TO SUFFER FOR FIVE YEARS!? WHY!!!?"

Nobody said anything till Sonic slowly said something…..

……..

"….Tails…."

Siles opened his eyes and looked at what he had done. Sonic laid before him, beaten to near death. He looked around and saw everyone, Amy, Sally, Bunnie, everyone staring at him with horror, amazement, fear, and shock.

Siles closed his eyes and cursed.

He had been found. He slowly got up and walked away, ignoring the blood and pain he felt and walked slowly out the park.

Leaving a crying Sonic, who cried not because he was in pain.

But because his brother was still alive.

(End)

FINALLY!! OMG! I never thought I would see the end of this story! TOOK ME TWO WEEKS TO DO THIS ENTIRE CHAPTER?!

God I hope you loved it. So Kellos was the winner. I was torn between Stricken or It's All Over, but after hearing them both I decided to go with the one I thought was best beat wise and lyrics wise. If you think I'm wrong well that's that. Still, I thought it was good.

Okay, the key/legends thing:

Club Midnite: Midnite, Balthazar (Although a real demon in Demonology, but not the same one), and the whole Club Midnite scene was from the Constantine movie staring Keanu Reeves.

Nephilim: That is going to be explained later in the story.

Review please!!! I need to know what you think, both good and bad! Did i give you what you wanted to see or not!?

Later.
