Chapter 21: Losing Control

July 18th, 3:45 pm

Miles "Tails" Prower's point of view:

"Son of a-!" I was cut off when the X-Typhoon's right wing was shot from above with a laser from one of the G.U.N ships. Immediately, my jet became unstable and it jolted down to the right, spinning out of control.

The X-Typhoon…wasn't working. The idea I mean. I tried shooting the X-Demon heart "lasers" at the X-Demons and Robotnik. We should've known better. If Robotnik can handle the energy inside of him…It's not going to hurt him.

I now had no option. Nothing to attack with. I could fire at the G.U.N ships with the X-Demon lasers, but they weren't even the main problem. It was again, Robotnik and his X-Demons. They were too powerful. And soon, if I couldn't find a place to land and hopefully hide, I was going to be shot down and possibly killed.

I grabbed my radio, trying to gain back control of the X-Typhoon. "Cream! Knuckles! Anyone!" I screamed into the speaker, "I've been hit! Can anyone hear me?!"

As I waited for a reply, all I could think of was how frustrated I was with myself. I wanted to make the most powerful plane I've ever built. Sonic's idea was good. Really good. I really thought it was going to work. It's not my fault or his. We just underestimated Robotnik…again.

But I was so rushed while making it. We were on the brink of war. I made a great jet and it WAS the best I've ever made. But, yet again…it wasn't good enough. I didn't make myself an eject mechanism. If I crash, I go down with it. Yeah, I've crashed before and I've been okay. But because of the high amount of energy stored in the engine, it will most likely blow up and I will not be able to escape the blast.

"Somebody please answer!" I called into the radio again. Nothing. I growled in frustration as I looked around to find a safe place to land.

There was a large field on the the outskirts of the city. I would have to cross tons of G.U.N ships AND Robotnik to get to it.

I close my eyes and tried to concentrate on Cream and the others. "I have to make it out alive…for their sake. I'm their leader, right? I have to stay strong for them…"

In was in that moment I realized how Sonic felt every single moment of his life. The burden of being the leader was heavy and…actually depressing. I knew that if I didn't make it, they wouldn't either. Tears stung my eyes as I placed my shaky hands around the control stick. I gathered every ounce of courage I possess and pressed forward.

I was hit. With not just one, but several lasers. The X-Typhoon was sent out of control and flew towards the ground. I screamed as I spun, the nose of the X-Typhoon pointing directly to the ground in a head-on collision.

I closed my eyes, holding on to whatever I could. I thought of my beautiful, wonderful Cream. Fear struck me then as I realized I would never hold her again. I would never be able to gaze into those gorgeous amber eyes. We would never be married. Our future was lost.

But seconds before the X-Typhoon impacted, there was a loud crash from the left side of my window, a warm gust of wind hit my face, I was grabbed and then pulled from the plane in a flash. I found myself flying in mid-air and I saw my X-Typhoon crash to the ground and explode. It was then I realized just who my savior was.

"Sonic?!" I screamed in disbelief. He said nothing and we landed safely on the ground, only yards from the edge of the blast.

Sonic let go of me and I fell to the ground, gasping for air. Sonic was silent but he sat next to me, waiting for me to recover.

I looked over at him. He was still in his darkened form. His eyes glared murderously at the ground. He breathed deep, almost growling.

"Son-nic…" I finally gasped, "W-hy…did you…save me? W-hy…did you…c-come back?"

He looked over at me. The tension between us was so harsh, I could actually feel it. The way he stared at me. Like I was pathetic. It was hard to know my brother hated me so much.

"I saved you because…no more blood will be shed on Robotnik's behalf…" he growled, "This will end today…"

Sonic stood and began to walk away. "It may end Sonic…but unless you get rid of this darkness inside you, we are going to die!" I screamed. He turned back to me and I continued, "I can't do this alone Sonic! I've tried to lead our friends because YOU WON'T!"

"I gave you all a choice to follow me!"

"We follow Sonic! Not Dark Sonic!"

I stood up and pointed a finger in his chest. "We're losing Sonic! You know this!"

The glare in his eyes could've burned a hole through my skull. But I still pleaded, "Sonic…we need you back…I'm talking to Sonic…NOT DARK SONIC…Sonic, my brother. I know you're somewhere inside…trapped in your own cage…please, we need you back…"

"Hmph…" was all that came out of Sonic's mouth and he walked away from me.

I growled in frustration and kicked at the ground. "Damnit Sonic…"

I turned my eyes back towards the city. It was on fire and buildings were collapsed. Every other second, screams of the innocent citizens were drowned out by loud explosions. "We've lost this battle…"

I could still see Sonic ahead of me, walking slowly. His shoulders hung low and he stared at the ground. He didn't run. There was no life in him to run.

Just as I began to feel like all things were lost, I heard what sounded like the flap of wings above me. "Tails!" a voice cried. I looked up to see my sweet Cream flying down to me. My eyes widened with joy and I smiled.

"Cream! You're okay!"

She landed and ran into my arms. I held on to her tightly and kissed her cheek. "I saw you go down!" Cream cried, "And I also saw Sonic save you!"

I nodded and she held up a bag. "I have all the Chaos Emeralds with me!"

My eyes widened. "Team Chaotix found all of them?!"

"Yes! It took them so long because they couldn't find the seventh BUT remembered you're old Tornado III was powered by one! It was still right where we crashed in Central City two weeks ago!"

She pulled the bag over her arm. "I'm gonna go give them to Sonic-"

"No! Cream, I don't think he'll use them! He's still dark!"

Cream rolled her eyes. "I'm not freaking scared of him! What I see is a big ol' baby! I'm giving them to him whether he likes it or not!"

Before I could argue, her ears began to flap and she flew into the air. I gasped and immediately ran after her. "Cream! Stop! Fly down!" I screamed. But she continued flying, "Cream!"

Cream flew down in front of Sonic. I couldn't tell what was happening but she handed him the bag of the Chaos closer I got, the angrier Sonic seemed to get. Then I heard Sonic growl, "I will not take these…"

"But, Sonic! You need them!" Cream pleaded, "We want you back Sonic…"

That seemed to anger Sonic even more. A dark, supernatural aura surrounded him. I gasped as my heart leaped into my throat. The only thing that was racing through my mind was, "He's going to hurt her! He's going to hurt Cream!"

I ran faster. A bright purple bulb of energy twisted in between Sonic's fingers. I stepped in front of Cream, pushed her with all of my might just as Sonic threw the ball of energy. The ball hit me in the lower chest, burning through fur and flesh. I screamed and fell to the ground. The pain was too much and I blacked out.

July 18th, 4:13 pm

Sonic the Hedgehog's point of view:

"No…NOOOOOO!"

I grabbed my head, screaming as I fell to my knees. Tails's blood had spilled everywhere, staining the grass and sand.

"Why am I doing this?!

Dark Sonic was pleased.

"STOP!"

BUT I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

"HELP ME!"

Cream screamed for Tails and came at me, flailing her fists into whatever she could hit on my body. She screamed in rage as she hit me. Numb to the pain, I just stood there, unable to do anything. She hit me until she was exhausted.

Then she looked up at me, tears streaming from her face, "WE HATE YOU SONIC!"

Her words hit me like bricks. On the inside of Dark Sonic, I cried uncontrollably. If only I could stop this. If only I could split myself from Dark Sonic. I would kill him. That way I would NEVER have to feel this way again.

But he is me. I can't do anything about it. No matter how hard I try. I am evil. Dark Sonic believes he is doing good. He believes he is saving Amy. But he is wrong. Dead wrong.

Cream moved back over to Tails, pressing against his wound to stop the bleeding. "Help…" she murmured, broken cries escaping her mouth, "Help us..."

I turned from them, just walking away. I could see the city in a blaze and completely in ruin. Robotnik's yellow lasers continued to melt away everything in its path. Screams tore from the innocent.

We had lost.

"IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?! IS IT?!"

"Sonic!" a voice screamed.

I turned around slowly to see a pink figure running towards me. "SONIC! Damnit! You stay right there! YOU HEAR ME?!"

My eyes widened. "Amy…"

She purposefully ran into me, tossing her arms around my neck and we fell to the ground. Before Dark Sonic could even react, he was silenced and I was overwhelmed by her soft lips pressing firmly against mine...
