Life for a Life

Chapter 1- The Sickness

Tails was walking home from the store one night. Then suddenly it started to rain on him.

"Oh man I thought they said it wasn't going to rain today. Well I better get home fast." He thought running home.

Little to his knowledge this was a poison rain that Eggman had ready for Sonic but Tails was just as good. When Tails opened the door everyone jumped out and spooked him. This made him fall back and hit his head on the concrete knocking him out.

Tails awoke two hours later on the floor with a rag on his head cooling him down.

"What happened to me?" He asked everyone.

"Well you fell back and hit your head knocking you out. Then you started to have a fever so he put the rag on your head trying to cool you down." Said Amy.

Sonic was sitting at the table with a glass of water watching the news. It was saying that the rain would stop within the next hour or two. Tails started to fell overly warm again.

"I'm going to..."

"What did you say Tails?" Asked Sonic

When he turned around Tails was lying on the ground his pupils had shrunk. Sonic rushed him to his room and asked for a bag of ice so he could cool down his friend.

Durring this time Eggman was at his fort just laughing his head off that Tails was hit with his new poison rain. This was not what he had planned, but better. If Tails is out of the fight Sonic loses his mechanic. This in turn makes Sonic and the other targets for his robots sence Tails can't destroy them. So he just was as happy as a clown. Well who wouldn't be if you were destroying the one thing that throws a wrench in your plans every time.
