As Sonic and Metal were about to begin a deathmatch, an eerie voice called, "You pathetic beings waste your time fighting. And you're the most pathetic of all Marklekaje, my brother." everyone looked at the location the voice had come from, the top of Amy's house.
Standing atop was a silver armored figure with a silver cape and a blood red scar on his opposite eye, however instead of a pure black eyepatch his was pure white. A blue gem in his chest and his facial features were near identical to Mark's, however his skin tone was darker than Mark's. "Surprised to see me?" he chuckled as he leapt down in front of Mark, revealing they were the same exact height. "Liakrame." Mark spat in disgust of his own brother. Liak didn't respond verbally, but rather punched him in the chest, sending him flying back and hitting his back on one of the sharpest rocks in the area. The impact's force was so great that it made the rock puncture Mark's armor and he let out a cry of pain.
Sonic didn't hesitate to try and attack, he attempted one of his spindashes, but Liak backhanded him through the wall of Amy's house. He didn't stop there though, he fired a yellow stream of energy that caused Amy's house to explode in a blaze of fire. "SONIC!" Amy was clearly enraged, so without thinking she slammed her hammer down on Liak's head. The impact however didn't affect him, he took hold of Amy's wrist and began to crush it with his immense strength. The bone cracked and Liak threw her into a nearby tree, finishing the job of breaking her wrist.
He was about to finish Amy when a burst of energy hit the back of his head, Liak turned and saw that Metal Sonic had fired his chest beam laser towards him. "You stupid robot. I am ten times as strong as my puny brother!" he charged at Metal Sonic and stabbed him clean through the chest. The robot's eyes went dark and he collapsed to the ground, permanently out of commission "You'll pay for that Liak!" he turned to see Mark back on his feet, "And what are you going to do? I was always stronger than you!"
"Maybe, but you always lacked one thing." "What!?" Mark placed his hand on the gem in his chest, "A reason for your strength." he ripped the gem clean out of his chest. A horrified look appeared on Liak's face, "You fool! What have you done to yourself!?" Mark's body floated upwards until he was a few feet off of the ground. The armor cracked once more and shattered faster than before, his body became twice the size of his last transformation, which had only increased his size, and spikes appeared all the way down his spine, he grew a tail and two sets of wings along with an extra set of arms. His claws became ten times as sharp and he grew four more eyes so he had three on each side of his face, his head became more reptile-like and his eyes pulsated every color possible.
Mark looked over at Eggman's far away air fleet, he extended his now massive arm and fired a beam of energy that obliterated the whole fleet. The parts flew towards him and attached to him all over his body, his torso became covered in metal and his tail was covered in large gunship turrets with three barrels each, six missile launchers attached to his shoulders. His right arm was covered in a gatling gun and his left had it's five fingers covered in blades that served as small swords, by the end of his transformation almost every part of his body was covered in the super strong titanium alloy. "Those gems were meant to keep us alive!" "I may die. But i'll take you to the depths of hell with me!"
Mark brought his entire left foot down on Liak, who barely managed to get away in time. He aimed his right arm at his brother and fired rapid bursts from it's gatling gun that repeatedly hit Liak in the chest until the gun ran out of ammo. With that he brought his tail around and whipped Liak, but his brother managed to keep him at bay as Mark pushed harder against with his tail. Eventually Mark gave up on pushing and trained the turrets towards Liak's head, "AGH!" the turrets fired and Liak was hit head on, sending him away as the tail hit him full force as well. Liak lay on the ground for several seconds before he got back up and continued the fight.
"T-Tails. What if Mark loses. We saw how he was thrown to the ground." Cosmo was holding his torso like her lifeline in fear of both Mark and Liak as both were incredibly powerful. "Cosmo, it's going to be okay. I promise that you'll survive this." "B-But what about you?" he sighed uncertainly, "We'll see what life brings." he said.
Mark fired the turrets on his tail and the missile launchers on his shoulders at Liak, every attack hit head on and Liak finally collapsed to one knee from the attacks he'd sustained. "You can't finish me, can you?" he was mocking his brother, which was the biggest and last mistake of his life. "We'll see about that. Now won't we?" Mark picked up Liak in his sharp claws and the place where the gem in his chest had been opened up. "NO! You can't do this to me!" he threw Liak inside himelf and instantly killed him with one final attack. That attack was also his last however.
Mark's body began to sway back and forth until he came tumbling down towards Tails and Cosmo. "No!" Tails shoved Cosmo out of Mark's path and looked up just in time to see the massive body fall on top of him and make contact.
"GAAAAAH!" Tails felt his heart was racing at extreme speeds, his breathing was like he'd just finished a ten mile marathon sprint. "W-What?" he looked around and saw his house, the flower Cosmo had left behind on a nearby table. "No...It couldn't have been a dream." he fell to his knees with tears in his eyes, "I t-thought it was real. But it wasn't..." he simply stared at the flower. The fox managed to stand back up and walk into the living room, on the mantle was a picture of them at the party from the Blue Typhoon. "Why...Why would my mind torment me like this? Making me think she came back when it was all a LIE!" the angered fox shoved a nearby table meant for holding a lamp over on it's side, completely destroying the lamp on it into hundreds of tiny pieces.
"So what...It doesn't matter anymore." he ignored the broken piece of equipment used for lighting the house and walked into the kitchen, "There's only one way I can ever see her again." he picked up a small device from a hidden drawer and walked towards his workshop. Along the way he thought back to the day he'd last seen her, REALLY seen her. She'd kissed him goodbye and that was enough to make the young fox wonder, why? He arrived and turned on the lights to see the Blue Typhoon, it's hull still badly damaged from the final battle. He entered through the still open cargo bay, unaware of another person in the hangar, and walked through the halls which seemed dead to him without Cosmo by his side. He walked past her room and thought about how he'd kept it the way she'd left it, all for nothing. He entered the command room where he'd pulled the fateful trigger and sat down in the same chair as before. "Main cannon ready." the battered runway screeched as it opened and the useless weapon emerged from hiding. Tails plugged the small device into the side of the module and said, "All energy to main cannon. It doesn't have to even fire for this to work." energy began to transfer from the device and into the cannon, it arced back and fort across the open top of the destroyed weapon.
He heard voices in his head say No! I won't shoot her! Wasn't it a promise!? but he ignored them completely, although he knew which memory they were coming from. He placed his hand on the trigger and gripped it firmly, "Sonic Drive...Fire."
What is Tails trying to accomplish by doing this? One chapter left until the end. And it may be different than it seems right now.
Also on a side note, when Cosmo was about to leave she DID kiss Tails. Just watch the episodes if you don't believe me.
