Blood is Thicker chapter 5
Tails nearly went into panic mode at the sight of the flames overtaking the whole front end of the machine. Trying his best to be brave about it and prevent the plane from plummeting to the ground in a huge ball of fire, Tails tried to keep it steady.
"....Tails, I know you thought I would never say this... BUT DON'T YOU DARE CRASH THIS DARNED PLANE!!" Sonic cried out. Though visably shaken from the current events, Tails nodded confidently, working the controls in the same manner he always did, gradually dropping the altitude they were at in hopes of a safe landing. The terrible weather was no aid, as the wind only encouraged the flames....
And the worst happened. The engine, which had been doing somewhat well up until this point, gave out. Tails nearly shrieked in frustration. He gritted his teeth.
"DAMMITT!!"
Just behind him, Tails could make out Sonic saying several harsh curse words under his breath.
....Like a rock, the plane tilted directly downward, and began its flaming spiral towards the ground.
"SON OF A--------"
Sonic awoke with a cough. And another. He coughed several times, then managed to sit up. He could feel the blood pounding in his head. "Darnit... Mghhh..." He lay down again, now conscious of the fact he was in the hospital. What had happened...?
Flames...
"AUGH DARNIT!!" Sonic cried again. "We crashed the darn plane avoiding Metal Sonic!" Sonic glanced to the side. In the hospital bed about five feet away, Tails' eyes were flickering open. He choked a little, possibly because he had a breathing mask over his face, then closed his eyes tightly. His hands were mildly burned, and he'd obviously suffered from breathing in the smoke from the flame.
But Sonic and Tails were both living, and that was what mattered.
Sonic himself had miraculously only recieved some very minor injuries... cuts, scrapes. He'd inhaled the smoke as well, but not at all as much. "Tails, you alright, buddy..?"
Tails managed to nod softly. "...fine. ...Really shaken and all, but I'll be okay..." He coughed a little.
"...well at least we aren't dead," Sonic muttered. "In the hospital, yes, but neither of us are in terrible condition... Gawd..." He sunk back heavily.
"....that's the last time I fly in a storm," Tails sighed, his eyes still closed. "I was so busy taking care with the bad weather I couldn't steer clear of that beam..."
"Ohhh this is all that Eggman's fault. If it wasn't for the possibility of him taking Amy, we wouldn't have been out in weather like that, Metal Sonic wouldn't have sidetracked us, and we wouldn't have been shot out of the sky."
"Sonic... just calm down a little... We'll be okay soon, and once we are, Eggman will have it comin' huh..?" Tails smiled faintly.
"No kidding..." And with an annoyed sigh, Sonic the Hedgehog closed his eyes.
