Chapter 8; progress on the mission, the great war god Obelisk
Tails was looking out of the window of the gang's private jet down to the city of Rome. Somewhere down there was Cosmo probably roaming the ancient ruins with her friends and shopping souvenirs or clothes all day. He couldn't wait for them to land and go to the city so he could call Cosmo and surprise her pleasantly. He heard Sonic's voice that they were landing soon. He saw the airport under them. Once they landed and the aircraft stopped he was ready to go to the cargo section and open the door to leave by himself on his duel runner, but Sonic stopped him.
"Dude I know you wanna see Cosmo so badly but be patient. We're gonna stay here for more than today. We must go buy first off all supplies for breakfast and stuff. I don't know about you but I'm starving."
"But I can't wait to see Cosmo. Come on Blue leader.
"What if there's a god card here Tails? What if they attack you and force you to duel? I can't let this thing happen bud. We'll be all together."
"Grrr… fine."
"Tails said pressing the button for the cargo door to close.
Sonic went to the city and returned with all goods for breakfast; bread, butter, honey, coffee and a lot more. After a complete breakfast after a very long time, they rode their duel runners and headed for the center of the city. They stopped outside the Colosseum. As Amy, Wave, Jet and Silver were admiring its perfection of a building and Knuckles was 'flirting' with female tourists Sonic gave permission to Tails.
"Give Cosmo a call now buddy. If she can meet with you we'll be close by so if we notice any suspicious moves we will engage."
"Hey! I wanna be alone with Cosmo. You can't be there."
"But Tails…"
"Sonic I know you are overprotective with the team because you want to prevent us from taking real damage in a duel just like you had with Slifer. But we have the same power as you. And after all… we are the legendary 9. We can take care of ourselves. What chance is that we will lose to one card?"
Sonic knew it all inside of him. He decided to let it go for once.
"Ok. You win this one buddy. Now give your lady a call."
Tails took out his cell phone and called Cosmo. The call was rejected.
"What is it buddy?"
"She rejected the call!"
"What?!"
"Why would she do it? What if she has found someone else?! No this is for sure it! She has found someone else! Damn you Cosmo! Just wait until I find you!"
"Tails! Pull yourself together! Last time Cosmo joined our gang to one of our rides, she wouldn't leave your side unless if it was for you to return home. She is not the kind of girl and you know it."
"Damnit. Then why did she reject the call?"
"Maybe she was too busy at the moment. Maybe she was at using the underground railway. You cannot know."
"Yeah. Maybe."
"Tell ya what. Call her later. Right now we got work to do."
"Yeah. I will." Tails said, But now his attitude was destroyed.
"Gang. We have to start the search!" Sonic said to the rest.
The 4 of the group looking at the Colosseum came right away. Knuckles came 5 minutes later.
"Knuckles what the heck? We don't have time!"
"Relax dude. Aren't we gonna search tomorrow so Tails can meet with Cosmo?"
"Cosmo rejected the call" Tails said unable to change his serious face expression.
"Oh relax. She'll call you back later."
While the group was getting on their runners Knuckles was asked by Sonic.
"Knucks I noticed that lately you've been flirting a lot. I know that you and Rouge are not a couple but don't you think she may learn it? After all you are the 4th strongest duelist in the world."
"Nah. She will get a liiitle jealous maybe, but I will relax her at home."
"Hahaha. Good one dude. Alright team" he said referring to everyone "off we go!"
They all accelerated and split. Tails was going to take an outer part close to a forest. But his mind couldn't focus. He was thinking about Cosmo. Why did she reject the call? Could Sonic be wrong and she really was with someone? Or worse?! Did she learn from tv that he helped Blaze become a good duelist and got jealous and then found someone else?! All these questions were flooding his mind when the unexpected happen. His mark started shining! He immediately called Sonic.
"Sonic! My…"
"Mark started shining huh? Mine too!"
"That means…"
"Our target is here. Where are you?"
"Outside the forest east of the city."
"Stay there! Don't move at all. Call the rest and inform them. We'll meet soon." Sonic said and closed the phone. Tails then started calling the rest of his friends and informed them. In 20 minutes a lot of dangerous turns and a speeding ticket for Jet, they were all there.
"So where's the duelist holding the god card?" Wave wondered looking at all the people who were having their tour in the forest.
"He must be somewhere here." Sonic said unable to wait.
"Not here." Tails said looking somewhere.
"What do you mean not here?" Knuckles asked him.
"I mean THERE!" Tails said pointing to the direction he was looking at.
The rest of the team looked at that direction. About 4 meters from their position was a hooded person. That wouldn't be so weird of course if he/she didn't wear a black cloak. Definitely suspicious.
"Ok let's get him!" Knuckles said ready to run to the hooded person's direction.
"No Knuckles!" Sonic stopped him before he could run.
"Why not?! He will escape!"
"No! Don't you see? He hasn't seen us. We can surround him."
"Why can't we just run to him?"
"Because he will just run away. And besides" Sonic said with an 'it's obvious' look on his face "why get tired when we can go the easy way?"
"Fine." Knuckles said.
"Ok team. Listen to the plan, team. Tails will ambush him from over here. He will pretend to just have seen him. He will run to her. Amy and Wave will ambush her from the left. Knuckles and Silver will go from the right. As for me and Jet we will go from the back. Once we're all in position I will signal Amy and Knuckles. Once they both signal you Tails, charge at him. All clear?"
"What do we do if he knows martial arts?"
"We fight him."
"But we can't fight!" Amy said.
"I don't mean literally fight. You just keep him busy enough if he attacks you so I can ambush him and prevent him from escaping."
"What if he just charges through us?" Silver asked.
"Then trip him into falling and immobilize him once he is down."
"And if he notices me?" Tails asked as well.
"Try going as close as you can. Then once you get his attention pretend that you just noticed him. Any other question team?"
They all nodded negatively.
"Ok then. Let's roll."
Sonic and Jet made a big circle and went on the other side of the hooded person's location. Lucky them, the person was looking at his cell phone so he noticed nothing. Amy and Wave went at her left and sat down so they wouldn't be spotted while Knuckles and Silver did the exact same thing but on the right side. When Sonic saw they were ready, he signaled them with an 'ok' hand move. They did the same on Tails. When Tails saw the 'good to go' sign, he started approaching as close as he could to the hooded person. He went 1 meter close, then 2 meters close and then 3 meters close. He hid behind a tree ready to ambush him but unfortunately he stepped on a stick. The sound of the stick cracking alerted the hooded person who stood up. Tails knew he was ready to run so he left his hiding spot.
"Stop right there!" he ordered the hooded person.
The latter started running once he saw Tails. He tried to right but Knuckles and Silver showed up on her path.
"Where are you going?" Knuckles said raising his fists.
The hooded person run the other way and found Amy and Wave blocking it. Amy was holding a pepper spray pointed at the hooded person's face.
"Hold it!" she screamed.
Seeing no other way out the hooded person tried to run deeper into the forest and came face to face with Jet and Sonic blocking her last way out.
"Well well… looks like we got you. Will you hand over your god card? Or will we have to take it by force?" Sonic asked in a mocking tone.
The hooded person laughed. Female scary laugh. But it sounded familiar in Tails' ears.
"You really expect me to hand over my god card king? Ha! Why don't you come and get it?!"
"If you insist! I crushed Slifer the sky dragon like a bug! I won't have any problem with you!" Sonic said ready to activate his duel disc.
"SONIC WAIT!" Tails screamed.
Sonic and the hooded person turned to him.
"Let me duel her!"
"Tails are you nuts?" Sonic said confused "you can't fight her. She is holding.."
"I know. But… there's something about her I find familiar. In any case I must be the one to fight her!"
Sonic understood by his words that he wouldn't back down.
"Ok Tails. Go get her!" he said trying to encourage him. But still he was worried. Tails said he knew that he would take real damage if he fought a god. But he didn't know what it felt like. To feel like every last bone on your body was crushed to mere ash. Like your entire was stripped off of its energy. Let alone the horror of facing something so strong.
"Ok handsome" the hooded girl said "you got yourself a duel."
"First of all before we duel… do me a favor and take off that hood."
"Why? don't you trust me Tailsy?" the girl mocked him.
Everyone in Sonic's group felt like they were stroke by electricity. Tailsy was the nickname Cosmo had for Tails. There was no way for that girl to know it. Unless..
"You… you are..!" Tails said praying for what he just thought not to be true.
The hooded girl removed the hood. And at her sight Tails felt like he would faint. How was it possible? She wasn't a duelist! COSMO was not a duelist!
"Cosmo… but how?!"
"My eyes saw the truth the moment I acquired my god card! Now I am invincible!"
"That's not Cosmo Tails!" Silver said.
Tails turned to him "WHAT?"
"Don't you remember Espio's case? He wasn't himself. I'm sure once you beat Cosmo she will return to her normal self and she will remember everything!"
Tails looked at his girlfriend. She had an evil look on her face that the normal Cosmo would never have. Determined he activated his duel disc.
"Let's do this Cosmo!"
"Bring it Tailsy!"
"DUEL!"
"My turn. I draw. I special summon Blackwing gofu the vogue shadow. Thanks to its effect I special summon 2 vogue shadow tokens!"
"Oh no!" Amy screamed.
"One card which equals 3 sacrifices. Thanks for not suggesting it banned or at least limited Sonic" Tails said looking at his friend.
"I never thought it would be used as a migival circle to summon gods!"
"I tribute my 3 monsters!" Gofu and 2 tokens disappeared "Oh mighty god protector of the earth! Answer to my call and come to my aid!" She slammed her right fist on the ground creating an earthquake! A nearby old tree was about to fall on Wave when Jet pushed her out of the way.
"Thank you Jet" she said while hugging him scared.
"No time for love now Wave!" Jet screamed as the earth started breaking.
"Arrive on the mortal plain and deliver punishment to those who oppose you! Arise mighty god of destruction! OBELISK THE TORMENTOR!"
A crack was made from the ground and Obelisk came out of it and stood behind Cosmo. It was taller than the trees. A true titan! Sonic and Tails watched in horror as the god roared causing the drums of their ears to almost break.
"Behold Tailsy! This is GOD!"
"Damn" Tails thought "Now I'm in a terrible disadvantage. 4000 attack and defense points! And who knows what his powers are."
"Now I activate the field spell Mound of the bound creator!"
"Not that spell again!" Sonic said scared.
"I assume you know what it does right? Obelisk as a level 10 monster cannot be destroyed by card effects! And he himself cannot be targeted by them!"
"Tails! The only way to kill obelisk is through battle!" Sonic yelled at him trying to warn him. But Tails knew already that this was his duel. His newly adjusted deck was entirely created for summoning strong monsters. He had the upper hand.
"Are you done already Cosmo?"
"After I set 2 cards face down. Try and beat Obelisk Tailsy.'
"My turn. I draw. I summon red resonator in attack mode! Because I summoned a resonator monster my red ward joins us!"
"Hmph the good old red dragon archfiend huh?"
"Cosmo.. do you remember when you and Sonic found me on our secret beach ready to give up?"
"Yeah what about?"
"Sonic. Do you remember?" Tails said looking serious at Sonic.
"Yes I do."
"And do you remember the words you used on that day to make me believe in myself again?"
Sonic remembered. He remembered damn well.
FLASHBACK STARTS
"How can you say you don't have the spirit of a duelist? Yesterday's duel was one of the best I ever had. You have a boiling soul Tails. You have an unextinguishable flame in your heart. I know that deep down, you wanted to duel me not to defeat me but because you enjoyed it. And no matter what evil thoughts you make this purity of enjoying duels cannot be destroyed."
FLASHBACK ENDS
"It is now time to show you the burning soul!"
Red resonator became two flaming tuning rings created for synchro summoning. Red ward went through the rings and engulfed in flames.
"Somewhere deep under the ground lies a great and terrible power! Now I unleash it upon you! Arise from the depths of flames! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!"
"Hot Red Dragon Archfiend?!" Cosmo screamed surprised.
"Hot Red Dragon Archfiend?!" Amy asked Sonic "when was this created?"
"I suggested the creation of new monsters based on Tails' dragon. It was one of the few decks that were never given a proper archetype. I wanted Tails to become more powerful so our duels would be far more fierce."
"And I thank you for that" Tails said "for now I will save Cosmo thanks to this newfound power."
"Dream on Tailsy. Your dragon only has 3000 attack. It is far weaker than Obelisk!"
"Right now yeah. But I'm not done! I activate scarlet security which destroys all spells and traps on your field!"
"Oh no you don't. I activate the spell card nature savior. It protects one spell card from being destroyed once. So my monster is still untouchable!"
"Not for long. I my special summon synkron resonator from my hand due to controlling one synchro monster. Now I tune it with my hot red dragon archfiend to synchro summon hot red dragon archfiend abyss!"
"So your deck has evolving monsters? Please. It will take more than enhancing one monster to destroy Obelisk."
"But the answer right now is not my enhanced monster. I need my previous one. But first I will get rid of your field spell's effect. I activate my dragon's effect! It negates the effects of a face up card until the end phase. Of course I choose your field spell!"
"Oh no!"
"Now I played synchro to break my synchro monster into his 2 materials. I summon hot red dragon archfiend in attack mode and synkron resonator in defense mode. Now I activate my hot red dragon archfiend's effect. I destroy all other attack position monsters on the field!"
"NO!"
Hot red dragon archfiend flew high and then punched the ground with his flame fist. The flames that came out of the fist destroyed Obelisk but spared synkron resonator because it was in defense mode. Now Cosmo was defenseless.
"Hot Red Dragon Archfiend! Absolute Hot Powerforce!"
"AAAAAH!" (Cosmo LP 5000)
"So… is this the power of your god? Slifer would be an actual challenge… but yours is useless!"
"Damn you! You will suffer Tailsy!"
"Then come and get me! I end my turn."
"My turn! I draw. I activate the spell card monster swap. I discard a monster and add another monster from my graveyard to my hand. Then by paying 300LP for every 2 levels in their difference I can summon one token on the field. But I have to get rid of my normal summon for now." (Cosmo LP 4100)
"I'll just burn one token and Obelisk will be sealed in your hand!"
"No Tailsy. I activate the spell double summon!"
"No!"
"Now I can summon once more this turn! I tribute my 3 monsters! Come on out once again Obelisk! Crush that puny dragon to meaningless ashes! GOD HAND CRUSHER!"
Obelisk launched his giant fist destroying Hot Red Dragon Archfiend.
"And because my mound of the bound creator is in play you lose 1000 more LP!"
"AAAH!" (Tails LP 6000)
"Still think God is weak Tailsy?"
"Damnit!" Tails thought " and I tried so hard to destroy Obelisk! "
"I end my turn with a face down!"
"My turn. I draw. I play the spell card stardust shimmer. I banish the synchro materials of my hot red dragon archfiend to synchro summon it from the graveyard."
"I was expecting you would use this strategy again!"
"Huh?"
"I activate the trap unbreakable. Now you can't use effects that will return combined monsters back into their materials."
"Who said I was gonna use that strategy the same way?"
"Huh?"
"I tune my 2 monsters once again into hot red dragon archfiend abyss and negate mound's effect once again! Furthermore I summon barrier resonator and tune it with hot red dragon archfiend abyss to synchro summon hot red dragon archfiend bane!"
"Another evolution?!" Cosmo said scared.
"Indeed. And I activate ITS effect. I tribute one monster out and special summon one dark dragon synchro from my graveyard!"
"But you only have your bane dragon on the field!"
"Exactly. He is the one I tribute!"
"WHAT?!"
"Come forth once again! Hot red dragon archfiend! Use your effect to destroy Obelisk!"
"NOT AGAIN!"
"ABSOLUTE HOT POWERFORCE!"
"AAAAAAH!" (Cosmo LP 1100)
"Surrender Cosmo. I killed God twice!"
"NEVER!"
"Fine. I end my turn."
"My turn! I draw. I activate DARK HOLE!"
"OH NO!"
"All the monsters out are destroyed!"
Hot red dragon archfiend was destroyed.
"Now I activate the spell card gold sarcophagus. I banish my giant rex from my deck and in 2 turns I get it back. But I chain with the quick play spell ostracism. If a copy of a card in my deck is banished by me I can banish all of their copies!"
"But… giant rex returns to the field if banished!"
"Precisely! So I get 3 giant rex! Now I activate monster reincarnation! I discard a card and add a monster from my graveyard to my hand!"
"This is getting annoying!" Tails said pissed Obelisk was back.
"Now as you already know I tribute my 3 monsters so Obelisk rises again! Come on out! Attack Tailsy directily! GOD HAND CRUSHER!"
Tails was defenseless this time. And Obelisk's attack was proven not to be just a hologram. It stroke Tails and sent him flying on a tree. Tails couldn't even react to the pain. It was too much. He fell to the ground and didn't move again.
"TAILS!" Sonic screamed and rushed to him. He turned his body upside and put his ear on his chest. He heard his heartbeat. And at the same moment his own heartbeat calmed. He turned to Cosmo while proceeding to remove the duel disc from Tails' hand.
"For what you did to my friend.." and at the same moment Amy saw him growing darker "you will pay!"
But at the next moment Tails' hand stopped him.
"Huh?"
Tails stood up despite his injuries and left Sonic's side. He stood once again against Cosmo.
"You wouldn't dare to take this chance away from me Sonic. Now I know what I put you through 3 years ago. And I am once again sorry you went through such pain. Now that I paid for my mistake back then" he said while proceeding to draw his next card "it is time I ended this duel, get my girlfriend back and claim this god card!" Tails screamed in determination. Sonic was impressed by his spirit.
"My turn Cosmo. I draw! I activate Monster reborn! Now I resurrect my Hot red dragon archfiend!"
"Him again? Please it will take more than that in your 3rd time facing God."
"I then summon double resonator. His effect allows me to also summon dark resonator."
"2 tuners! Tails! Red Nova dragon won't be enough this time!" Sonic screamed trying to prevent Tails from summoning it. But…
"Who said anything about Red Nova Sonic?!"
"You… You have…!
"I double tune my 2 monsters with hot red dragon archfiend! Come forth! My new ace! Hot red dragon archfiend king calamity!"
Everyone was impressed by the arrival of Tails' new ace. But its attack was…
"HUH! 4000 atk! Not enough to defeat Obelisk without losing the last monster you have! In my next turn I will use my foolish burial to send a spellcaster in my deck to my graveyard and use my dark spell regenerator to use your monster reborn and finish you off with my Obelisk! AHAHAHAHA!"
"Too bad. There won't be a next turn Cosmo."
"What's this?"
"I activate the spell foolish burial goods. With her effect I send the spell card return of the dragon lords to my graveyard!"
"Oh no!"
"What good was for sending a spell to the graveyard?" Silver asked Sonic.
"Return of the dragon lords can be banished from the graveyard to negate the destruction of one of your dragons." Sonic explained.
"And that's not all. To make sure you won't react I activate my dragon's effect so you can't activate effects anymore until the end of mu turn!"
"Say what?!"
"Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity! Attack Obelisk! ULTIMATE BURNING STRIKE!"
Obelisk was destroyed and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity was spared due to banishing return of the dragon lords from the graveyard.
"When my dragon destroys a monster in battle" Tails said after Obelisk's downfall "You lose LP equal to your destroyed monster's original attack!"
"NOOOOOO!" (Cosmo LP 0) Cosmo screamed and fainted. Tails fainted as well.
The gang rushed by their side. They immediately took Tails and Cosmo back to their private jet before the media arrived at the forest looking for the holder of Obelisk.
Tails regained his consciousness just 10 minutes after their arrival. Afterwards he stayed next to Cosmo for 6 hours straight without any food, drink or rest despite his heavy injuries. Eventually Cosmo's eyes opened and she saw her beloved above her. She immediately felt his warm hug on her.
"Thank god your awake!" he said while releasing his tears on her shoulder so she wouldn't see him.
Half an hour later Tails and Cosmo joined the group. Sonic immediately after making sure she was ok asked her a barrage of questions.
"How did you get Obelisk?"
"To tell the truth Cosmo that was really weird. You're not a duelist. How come you acquired this?"
"When I returned from my vacation I decided to buy you some cards. But wondering what this game had so amazing that you sometimes forgot me over it, I opened a few packs to see the cards up close. But the moment I looked that evil card in the eyes.."
"You mean this?" Tails said showing her the Obelisk card.
"Nooo! Take it away from me! Don't make me have eye contact with it!" she screamed while hiding her face.
"Cosmo relax I'll hide it." Tails said putting away Obelisk.
"So Cosmo after you acquired Obelisk what happened?"
"My… my body well.. it was moving on its own. I took the first flight for London. There I took a taxi and reached an abandoned house on foot. At the basement was a guy in a cloak just like the one you found me wearing. Then another guy came. He put a card with a red Chinese dragon next to mine. And then the third one put one final yellow card next to our cards. I can't remember anything else until the moment I was sent here to wait for you all."
"When you say Chinese dragon" Sonic said revealing Slifer "You mean this one?"
"Yeah that's the one!"
"So that means 2 down one more to go" Sonic concluded.
After 1 more hour Cosmo and Silver were sleeping while Sonic and the gang were discussing their next move.
"Now what? We have 2 god cards. Do you think we should stop for now and return Cosmo home?"
"Guys" Sonic tried to say "we mustn't stop now. We're very close. And if you remember the reason we began this journey was to help my alter ego from Egypt find peace. According to his sayings this is a god card we found."
"Yeah but Cosmo needs to go home!" Tails said angry.
"Tails if the other is somewhere close we will miss our chance!"
"He may be anywhere around the world you idiot! We have chances close to 0 to find him. If you're not gonna take Cosmo home I will board on a plane and take her there myself!" Tails said angry while leaving the group. Amy looked at Sonic angry as well.
"That was very selfish of you Sonic!"
Sonic realized what happened at that very moment. He went outside ashamed of himself. The real reason he wanted to find the last god was because he had gone crazy the moment Obelisk stroke Tails for real. He wanted t end this so his friends wouldn't be hurt anymore. Determined he would prepare for the last duel alone. He wore his duel disc and then proceeded to cut his hand so that blood started to drop to the ground. Then he started practicing. Later on Amy and Tails went looking for him. They saw him practicing. But when they got close they saw about 2 pints of blood on the ground. Sonic was weakened by the blood loss but kept on drawing hands.
"SONIC! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Amy screamed when she realized what he was doing.
Sonic turned around and saw them.
"Practicing." He said with a weak voice.
"Are you nuts? You're gonna bleed to death if you keep going!"
"I need to do this."
"Come inside now!" Amy ordered him.
Sonic understood that this was a losing battle so he followed them inside. The others were asleep. They bandaged Sonic's wound.
"Why did you cut yourself for?" Tails asked when he was done bandaging Sonic arm.
Sonic didn't answer.
"Sonic answer now!" Amy screamed.
"I said I was practicing!"
"Practicing for what? That was suicide."
"For the duel with the final god card."
"If you're thinking what I'm thinking you're thinking..!" Amy said angry.
"Thinking what?"
"That you will take on the final duel alone and you were practicing to test your endurance so you can bear the last god's attack and still be able to duel!"
"If you know so much why bother asking?"
"Because I don't believe it! Sonic for once in your life stop trying to protect us all. I know you don't want us to get hurt but you can't win this fight alone!" Amy screamed in his face.
"I can't let you go through that Amy. it was a bad idea to leave Tails to go through with this in the first place."
"Why? I'm just fine now."
"Do you have any idea how I felt when I saw you getting punched by Obelisk?! I thought we lost you for good Tails!"
"SONIC WAKE UP! WE ARE NOT KIDS THAT YOU HAVE TO PROTECT WE ARE YOUR EQUAL COMRADES! AND IF YOU DON'T RESPECT IT THEN GO OUT THERE AND FIND THIS FINAL CARD ALONE!" Tails screamed in his face as well. That was the one phrase that stopped Sonic's momentum on the point.
"I… I do respect you all" he said embarrassed.
"You don't show it. Trying to protect us is like calling us weaklings!" Tails said.
"I'm sorry. I had no idea you would take it this way. I didn't mean to disrespect you."
Tails and Amy looked at each other and smiled at him meaning that they forgave him. Amy hugged Sonic and cuddled his hair. Tails and Sonic had a handshake at the same time.
"You convinced me dude. On the first light of the day we take Cosmo home. Then we get back out there and find the last god card."
"Thanks Blue leader."
"No problem bud. Baby" he said referring to Amy "We should go sleep."
She nodded positively and went to their room. Sonic was about to join her but Tails and he weren't done yet.
"Sonic. Take this." Tails said handing him Obelisk.
"What? Tails you earned it." I got Espio's Slifer because I beat him myself. I can't take this."
"If you don't I'll tear it apart. I hate it for controlling Cosmo. What will it be?" he said ready to tear the card in half.
Sonic opened his palm and Tails put Obelisk in it. The moment Sonic touched it the same feeling that consumed him when he touched Slifer consumed him again. Greed. Will to rule. Will for power. More power! More power! An greedy smile was created on hos face but he didn't realize it.
"Sonic you ok?" Tails' voice brought him back to reality.
Sonic looked at Tails and saw him looking at Sonic in shock.
"You looked like a mania for a second."
"Yeah sorry. I just felt the card's power. It really corrupts people. But I can resist it."
"Yeah thank god for that. Well.. good night." Tails said and went to his room.
"Good night." Sonic answered and went to his room as well. In 2 minutes no sound was heard on the plane as everyone was asleep.
