This is a request from Dimentio's Epic Girlfriend. Sonic will be 15 and Tails 8.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the hedgehog, SEGA does.
The front door of Sonic and Tails' house was thrown open as Tails stormed in and slammed the door shut.
About a second after Tails slammed the front door shut, it opened again as Sonic stormed in with a angry expression on his face. "Miles Tails Prower, you stop right there and explain to me why you ran off by yourself!" he yelled.
Tails who was heading upstairs stopped and spun around glaring at Sonic. "Last time I checked, you don't run my life! I'm 8 years old, I can take care of myself!"
Sonic growled. "I never ran your life before, so stop lying to me! And bull crap about being able to take care of yourself because I've lost count on how many times I had to save your sorry hide from Eggman!"
Tails growled back. "Well I've had to save you from Eggman as well!"
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Yeah twice, big deal. Amy saved me more than you ever did."
Tails narrowed his eyes. "I saved you more than twice! I saved you more then you saved me!"
"Your lying again! Last time I checked, I've been battling Eggman longer than you have and I never needed help! I'm Mobius' hero not you!"
Tails clenched his fists. "I am a hero! Your not the only who keeps Mobius safe you know."
Sonic scoffed. "Well mister hero because of you Eggman has 5 Chaos Emeralds! You were supposed to retrieve the 3 Chaos Emeralds he had, but you took off! I knew I shouldn't have trusted you too keep the two Chaos Emeralds that I found by MYSELF, without YOUR help."
Tails snarled. "Well I'll have you know that you lost some Chaos Emeralds too! You know what? Screw you! I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" he yelled storming toward his workshop.
"Fine see if I care!" Sonic yelled as he stormed toward his bedroom door and slammed it shut.
While Sonic and Tails were busy arguing they failed to notice one of Eggman's Spybots at the window.
Eggman was watching Sonic and Tails argue and he laughed evilly. "Yes, phase one of my plan is complete! With those two refusing to speak to each other I can begin the next phase of my plan!"
"What exactly is your plan Eggman?" Metal Sonic asked as he Metal Tails and Metal Knuckles were leaning against the doorway to the surveillance room.
Eggman turned to face his three greatest creations. "I'm glad you asked Metal Sonic. You see all these years I failed to conquer the world because of Sonic and his friends. Sonic and Tails have given me the most trouble out of them all because they work so well together. I've figured out that the only way for me to conquer the world is too separate them. So I looked back on old footage from my Spybots and I figured out how to split them up and it worked!"
"That's a first."Metal Knuckles whispered too Metal Tails and Metal Sonic.
Eggman heard Metal Knuckles' remark and he scowled. "Hey, I had other plans that worked before!"
"Name one."Metal Knuckles asked.
"Well I err- um, okay so I never had a plan that succeed before." Eggman admitted.
"Okay back to the subject of your plan. What is the second phase of your plan?" Metal Tails asked.
Eggman cleared his throat. "Ah yes that. Well the three of you will take one Chaos Emerald each and head to Angel Island with me. You three will distract Knuckles while I take the Master Emerald, so I can find the last two Chaos Emeralds."
Metal Sonic, Metal Tails and Metal Knuckles nodded their heads as Eggman threw each of them one Chaos Emerald. The robots caught the Chaos Emeralds and placed them in their power source compartment, absorbing the emeralds power to make themselves stronger.
Eggman walked over to his hovercraft and hopped inside. "Alright let's go." he said flying away with the three robots flying after him.
Tails who was in his workshop working on his inventions stopped and rubbed sweat from his forehead. He was still angry at Sonic for everything he said. "Stupid selfish Sonic, calling me a liar. If it weren't for me he wouldn't have been able to get aboard the Death Egg or even get in space to fight the Metarex. He always used my Chaos Emerald tracker to find the Chaos Emeralds before he learned how to sense the Chaos Emeralds by himself."
Tails stomach growled and he placed a hand on it. "I better get something to eat quick before mister I'm so perfect shows up." he thought heading upstairs.
Sonic was sitting on his bed looking through the box where he kept his souvenirs that he got from his adventures. The first thing he picked up was Chip's green bauble that was left behind after Dark Gaia's defeat. Placing it back in the box he pulled out the gauntlet that he had when he was sucked into the world of King Arthur. He chuckled to himself when ironically he was the true King Arthur.
Sonic's thoughts went back to Tails and he scowled. "I can't believe that brat thinks he saved me more than I saved him. When Metal Sonic kidnapped him as bait I rescued him, when Eggman forced Tails to work for him I rescued him and many other times."
"I've told you a thousand times that he thought he was better than you, but you didn't listen." the dark voice in his head said.
Sonic groaned. "When are you going to leave me alone?"
"As soon as you see the truth that you can't rely on anybody but yourself. Let the dark power take over and show that arrogant fox and the world that Sonic the hedgehog needs nobody, but himself."
Sonic growled to himself. "I'm not going to do that!"
The dark voice was quite for a moment before it spoke. "Suit yourself. One day you'll learn." after that the dark voice was no longer there.
Sonic's stomach began to growl. "I better get something to eat before mister I'm a better hero than you shows up." he thought walking downstairs.
Knuckles was sitting on the steps of the Master Emerald shrine looking at the ground extremely bored. Eggman hadn't tried to steal the Master Emerald for a month now and he had nothing to do but sit around.
Knuckles was about to close his eyes when he heard the sound of multiple jet engines coming from above. Before he could look up something crashed into him knocking him off the steps of the Master Emerald shrine.
Knuckles quickly recovered just as Team Metal landed in front of him. Knuckles glared at the three robots. "Which one of you hit me?"
"That would be me." Metal Sonic declared.
Knuckles cracked his knuckles. "Well then, I guess I'm going to have to teach you a lesson about what happens when you mess with me!" Knuckles charged toward Metal Sonic and threw the first punch.
Metal Sonic caught Knuckles' fist and kicked him in the chest sending him flying 2 yards before landing on his back.
Knuckles got up from the ground and glared at Metal Sonic. "Alright tough guy, now your asking fo-"
Knuckles didn't get to finish as Metal Knuckles came out of the ground underneath him and punched Knuckles' chin sending him flying in the air.
When Knuckles was sent in the air Metal Tails flew toward him and kicked him toward Metal Sonic.
Metal Sonic grabbed Knuckles and electrocuted him before throwing him at the ground. "Now whose the tough guy?" Metal Sonic sneered.
While Knuckles was busy with Team Metal, he failed to notice Eggman flying toward the Master Emerald and picked it up by a large claw from his hovercraft and flew away. Only when Angel Island began rumbling and started to fall did Knuckles realize it.
Team Metal flew away when Angel Island began to fall and went after Eggman.
When Angel Island crashed into the ocean, Knuckles quickly jumped off and ran toward the Mystic Ruins to seek help from the two people who could help him.
Sonic and Tails both headed toward the kitchen at the same time to get something to eat. Both of them stopped when they crossed paths and glared at each other.
Sonic and Tails went to the kitchen not saying anything to the other. Both of them fixed themselves something to eat and began eating without looking at the other.
When the two of them finished their meals Sonic was about to head to his room and Tails to his workshop when Knuckles burst through the front door panting. "Guys, Eggman stole the Master Emerald and we need to get it back."
"Why don't you ask mister I'm a better hero?" Sonic sneered.
"How about asking mister I can do anything by myself?" Tails said in a dry tone.
Knuckles rose an eyebrow in confusion. "What is wrong with you two? Did I miss something?"
"Oh nothing really, just that genius boy over here cost us two Chaos Emeralds by running off on his own only to lose the two Chaos Emeralds that I found from Eggman." Sonic said with anger.
"Well selfish hedgehog over here doesn't seem to remember that HE lost Chaos Emeralds before as well." Tails snapped.
Knuckles sighed. "Look can you two argue about this later? We need to go after Eggman!"
Sonic and Tails didn't answer and refused to even look at each other.
Knuckles growled. "You know what? Screw you two! I thought that you guys were brothers that would stick with each other no matter what happens! What ever happened to the unbreakable bond? The dynamic duo? Brothers to the end?"
Sonic and Tails were both silent taking in everything that Knuckles was saying, but refused to speak to the other.
Knuckles glared at Sonic and Tails before shaking his head. "The one time I actually came to you guys for help, you act like 2 year old's. I guess you two aren't as great as I thought you were. I'll get the Master Emerald back without your help." Knuckles said as he stormed out of their house and slammed the front door shut.
When Knuckles left Sonic and Tails looked at each other with mixed expressions. Knuckles was right, they were the unbreakable bond and they let a friend down when he needed them.
"Tails, I'm sorry for-" Sonic started but was cut off by Tails.
"No Sonic, I'm sorry. It was stupid of me to take off by myself. I just wanted to prove to you that I've learned everything from you. And you were right before, you did save me more then I saved you."
Sonic smiled. "Actually that's not true. We saved each other equally. I was too stubborn to accept help. It's just that with everything I lost, I am afraid that one day I will lose you forever."
Tails frowned. "Sonic, you won't ever lose me."
Sonic began tearing up, but quickly wiped them away. "What if I'm not fast enough to save you? I wasn't fast enough to save those who drowned because of Perfect Chaos."
Tails remembered that very well. When Chaos got the final Chaos Emerald he flooded Station Square and a lot of people died because of it. Sonic was the type of hero who would be affected greatly if innocent people ever lost their lives.
"Sonic, there was nothing you could have done to prevent the flood. We were in the Mystic Ruins at the time."
Sonic sighed. "Yeah I know but still, if I could ever prevent that from happening then I would."
Tails nodded his head. "I don't blame you for that." Tails' eyes then widened. "We need to help Knuckles get the Master Emerald back!"
Sonic's eyes widened as well. "Your right! Knuckles couldn't have gotten far, so let's go!"
Sonic and Tails quickly ran outside and headed toward Station Square. When they arrived they saw Knuckles leave the train station and quickly ran outside to meet him.
"Knuckles!" Sonic and Tails shouted at the same time.
Knuckles turned around and saw Sonic and Tails heading toward him and crossed his arms. "So did you two make up?"
Sonic and Tails stopped in front of him and nodded their heads. "Yeah we did." Sonic said.
Knuckles smirked. "Well then, if you two are ready then let's go and get the Master Emerald before Eggman uses it to power up his machines."
"But, Eggmans base is far away from here. How are we suppose to get there in time?" Tails asked.
Knuckles reached in his dreadlocks and took out the white Chaos Emerald and handed it to Sonic. "I believe that Eggman stole the Master Emerald to find the remaining Chaos Emeralds. I have one and Shadow has the last. Now Sonic if you could please get us there."
Sonic nodded his head and held the Chaos Emerald in the air. "Chaos Control!" he yelled as they disappeared in a flash of white light.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles appeared in front of Eggman's base. The three of them looked at each other and nodded their heads before heading inside the base.
Eggman was sitting in his chair in the surveillance room sleeping with his feet on the control panel. He was woken up by the security alarm going off and he fell out of his chair. Looking at the screen to see who the intruder was he couldn't tell as all the security cameras were being destroyed as the intruders were going by.
Eggman growled. "So Knuckles came for the Master Emerald eh? Well I won't allow him to take it!"
Eggman got up from his chair and quickly ran toward the robot creation room that was quite a distance away. When he arrived at the robot creation room he was panting and held his right hand over his heart. "I need to exercise more, I'm completely out of shape." Eggman thought to himself. He than hopped into his new machine and headed toward the center of the base where he kept the Master Emerald.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were heading toward the center of the base. As they were running, Sonic was destroying the security cameras along the way. When they arrived at the center of the base a hatch opened up from the roof and Eggman dropped from there in his new machine.
The robot looked exactly like the Death Egg Robot except that it had rocket launchers on the shoulders and was blue instead of red. When Eggman saw Sonic and Tails he growled. "What!? The two of you weren't supposed to make up! I worked hard to split you two up and you make up already?"
"Wait, you planned to split me and Sonic up?" Tails asked with anger.
Eggman sweat dropped. "Ops, I guess I let the cat out of the bag, but yes I did plan to split you two up."
Tails growled. "Your so going to pay for that!"
Eggman smirked. "I'd like to see you try!"
Sonic frowned at Eggman's robot. "Really Eggman? The Death Egg Robot? It doesn't even look powerful."
"Well I wasn't finished with the modifications. I may have fallen asleep before I could finish it." Eggman admitted.
"Okay Egghead prepare to go down!" Sonic said as the three of them charged toward the Death Egg Robot.
The Death Egg Robot fired 8 rockets at Team Sonic, but the three of them avoided it. Knuckles jumped in the air and punched the robot on the chest knocking it on the back.
While the Death Egg Robot was on the ground, Sonic kept doing his bounce attack at the robot's head. After doing it for 30 seconds, Sonic jumped off and Tails flew above the robot and started firing electric energy balls from his red cannon at the robot's chest.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles finished the robot off by using their team attack. When the robot was destroyed, Knuckles took the Master Emerald and the three of them ran off out of the base.
Within 5 minutes Sonic, Tails and Knuckles arrived back at the Mystic Ruins. They went over to Sonic and Tails' and stopped at the front door.
Sonic and Tails turned to face Knuckles. "Um, Knuckles. I want to thank you for coming here and reminding us how important me and Tails are to each other." Sonic said.
Knuckles rolled his eyes. "Well I couldn't let you two be mad at each other forever you know."
Sonic nodded his head. "Thanks for that. By the way aren't you going to thank me and Tails for helping you get the Master Emerald back?"
Knuckles smirked. "Not likely." he said before turning around and headed back to Angel Island.
Sonic shook his head. "Somethings never change."
"I hear you on that one." Tails agreed. With that said the two of them went back inside.
Sonic and Tails had settled their differences and became brothers once again. They made a vow that they wouldn't let something that can be fixed tear them apart.
