Chapter 8- The first battle
"Tails... what are you doing?" Sonic cried.
"I'm doing as I please! Stand down Sonic!" Tails snapped.
"I won't let you destroy the base!" Sonic said through gritted teeth.
"Try and stop me." challenged the dark fox.
Tails destroyed yet another piece of machinery. Then she looked a Sonic with hate.
"Tails... why...?" Sonic asked.
"Because I've found a sudden joy in being with Shadow. I get what I want; like revenge on you!" Tails cried.
Then with out the slightest thought, Tails charged at Sonic with fists ready. Sonic dodged out of the way and she missed just by a little.
"Tails, I don't want to fight you!" Sonic cried.
"Well I want to fight you!" Tails shouted as she attacked again.
Tails began attacking repeatedly, but missed everytime. Suddenly she was stopped by a sharp blow in the side. She was sent flyng towards the wall but braced herself and landed on her feet.
"Tails stop this now!" Sonic cried.
"No! It's too late for that! I've come too far and I can't turn back now!" Tails cried as she lunged for the blue hedgehog again.
She hit him in the side of the head and knocked him towards the finally machine. He slammed against it an damaged it terribly. It blew a fuse. (A/N- Uh-oh...)
Tails then went after Sonic, punching him and kicking him, giving it all she had. Sonic could do nothing but wait until Tails wore herself out. After a while Taisl grew tired and Sonic finally hit her back. He hit her just as hard as she hit him. Tails was soon sent flying across the room. She struggled to pick herself up. She then grasped her side and glared at Sonic.
Both were injured but neither of them were going to give in until the other did.
"You're going to regret that!" Tails growled.
"Make my day..." Sonic snapped back. He stood strong while Tails was weak and felt as if she was about to drop.
Tails panted heavily. She wasn't used to this much fighting.
"Tails, we don't have to be enemies. We can still be friends but you have to trust me. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just a little shaken up about the whole girl thing." Sonic sighed.
"It was none of your buissness in the first place!" Tails screamed.
"I know and I'm sorry! I just wasn't thinking of you at the time..." Sonic said softly.
"Oh yeah well... I..." Tails felt somewhat bad for what she did for a moment. "Wait NO! I'm not with you any longer! I know who my true friend is!" She cried.
"Tails please... come back..." Sonic wouldn't give in. He knew the old Tails was still somewhere inside the dark being that stood before him.
"Shut...UP!" Tails drove her elbow into Sonic's stomach.
Air rushed out of the blue hedgehog as he sunk to the floor. He gasped and coughed struggling for air. Tails was about to kick him again when Shadow's voice rang through her ears.
"Tails what the heck are you doing?" Shadow cried.
"Fighting this stupid hedgehog to the finish!" Tails cried throwing another punch.
"Get out of there! The whole building was evacuated! Didn't you hear the alarm go off?"
"No! What alarm?" Tails stopped figthting Sonic to listen to Shadow.
"The base is going to self-destruct in 1 minute! Get out of the base now! Your time is limited!" Shadow screamed.
"Oh no!" Sonic shouted, he overheard what was going on.
"But what about...?" Tails began.
"There's no time for that! Grab what you have and run!"
Tails grabbed the bag and dashed out of the room. Sonic was quick to follow.
"This is a race against time.. and time really isn't on my side!" Sonic thought as he speed through the hallways.
