Hey everyone! What's up!?
So this was just an idea I thought of for quite awhile, reading through the IDW Sonic series and especially the Zombot arcs. There was a time where two certain characters were together to help Sonic and that's my favorite character, the two tailed fox, Miles Tails Prower and Silver the Hedgehog.
Now I have heard that Silver isn't very popular and is in fact not a likable character and you know… I don't know about now, but I think he deserves a bit more love, getting to know his character in the IDW series makes him such a fun guy, but also does his part in helping the good side.
Anyway, lets get on with it!
(Silver's POV)
Flying through the skies above Sonic's world, I began to wonder if the Resistance was fighting a losing battle against the Zombot infection, with the Resistance being spread thin and the numbers of the horde kept growing and growing. It began to look like the future where I came from, beak and hopeless as at my side roared the engine of a biplane…
"We're almost at Sunset City, hopefully Sonic is doing okay." The pilot spoke as I looked at him, a young yellow two tailed fox, keeping his focus and flying steady.
With few to spare, Amy sent the fox, Tails, to Sunset City where the famous blue hedgehog, Sonic, was there already, helping to save the few uninfected. Having rested and recovered from my injuries earlier from the trap set by Dr. Starline, I volunteered to go along to help. However even still, us two against a city's worth of Zombots, how much good we could do I have no idea…
"Tails, you seem so calm, aren't you scared?" I asked the fox flying his biplane.
"Well Silver, inside I am, but I know that every time, with Sonic and all our friends, we always win no matter what, and Sonic is okay, he always comes through and he will this time." Tails answered.
I have to admit, hearing Tails was inspiring, the fox was along the youngest in the Resistance, but he was just as brave and fearless as the rest of my friends. It gave me some small amount of courage myself, made me glad I had friends like Tails.
As the both of us neared Sunset City, it was certainly a nightmare, smoke rose from the city as the sounds of the Zombots could be heard, but along them were sounds of a battle being fought, dim, but Tails and I could hear it. Tails began to descend from the sky as he landed the Tornado just outside the city in an empty field, clear of any Zombot threats for now.
As he jumped down from the cockpit, I touched down softly on the ground besides the biplane, looking at the city as I felt a little hopeless. How the two of us could find Sonic, if he was still fighting, I had no idea, but Tails wasn't going to let that discourage him as he stood by my side.
"You think we will be able to find him?" I asked the fox.
"We will, even if it takes all day, we always have each other's backs." Tails replied, as he had a brave face on, but there were hints of fear in there, but the young fox didn't let them get to him as I heard him start spinning up his two tails. "Come on Silver, we just need to go towards the sound of fighting and Sonic will be there." Tails told me as he lifted off and started flying right into the danger as I followed him with my psychokinesis.
And sure enough we did find Sonic, being swarmed by a Zombot horde, along them now a zombified Shadow as Sonic struggled to hold on, but I grabbed as many Zombots with my powers as I could, allowing Sonic a window of escape. Meanwhile Tails told me to cover him while he went for Omega, not arguing and following the fox's instructions as he dived down right into the horde and quickly managed to recover the former Eggman robot's head. While that was happening, I had to dodge Shadow, but luckily the dark hedgehog wasn't as strong zombified it seemed, so I managed to avoid being turned as Tails came back as we headed back out of the city, back to where the Tornado was.
Arriving back, Sonic was there, taking a breather as he was of course exhausted, but thankful to Tails and I.
"So glad you two came, I was almost in the same position as Shadow." Sonic told us. "I would hug the both of you, but…"
"It's what friends are for Sonic, but now's not the time for that." Tails replied. "Head on back to HQ, I started working on something that may help us understand the metal virus more."
"Right, better run than." Sonic told us as he had no choice but to just take off and leave us as I just stared at Sunset City, once a peaceful and great place to live, now a ruined city full of mindless Zombots…
I felt a gloved hand on my shoulder as I turned to see Tails besides me…
"Don't worry Silver, we will solve this and get everyone back to normal soon." Tails assured me, still keeping his encouraging tone as I really tried, but just seeing this made me think otherwise. "We better get back to HQ ourselves, the Zombots in the city are probably starting to spread out and come towards us." Tails reminded me as I took one last look at the city as Tails returned to his plane and started up the engine.
Taking off back into the sky, I followed the fox as we headed back to HQ, our rescue mission a success, but it was only a tiny victory. Still, anything we could get was helpful and hopefully with what Tails was planning, we could start to figure out how the metal virus worked and find a solution to fix not just the future, but the present.
And I''ll leave it there!
If you have read the IDW Sonic series, than you know what happens, this is just some small interaction that could have happened behind the scenes with Silver and Tails.
Also, anyone seen the new Sonic Prime trailer? It's looking great and it comes out on my birthday too! Only thing I question is why is Rouge on Sonic's team?
And not only that, but we also got a Sonic Frontiers prologue with Knuckles, beautiful animation and a good story as to why Knuckles is trapped and I'm not even a big fan of him!
Anyway… I think that's it, so…
See everyone later!
