You may not have realized it, but my stories have changed a hell of a lot from when they were first thought up. Here are some fun facts about what I have changed how they originally were.
- Siberia was originally a tiger. Hence the name, 'Siberia' and the tiger strips.
- Tails was originally going to be with a silver hedgehog called Moonlight. I changed this because I liked the idea of Tails being with another fox, although you'll notice I kept the silver colouring( muahahaha! British spelling!)
- Seth's original name was Darak. Then Dark, and finally I changed it to Seth.
- Cream, Big and Charmy were originally going to be featured more heavily. I changed it because I just don't like them that much and found it hard to fit them in.
- Originally, Draco was the only child of Siberia and Shadow. The twins were not planned.
- Seth was going to be older than Draco. Not sure why I changed this, I just did.
-Sonic and Amy were going to live happily ever after. But I decided that was boring.
Well there you go, if you have any questions about stuff in my story. Feel free to ask, I may even give away some information on what might be happening in the future.
Anyway, on with the story.
Disclaimer- I own Seth, Draco, Marisha, Prowler, Kai, Siberia, Aquariun, Seringetti and Talim. All the rest belong to sega, lucky bastards.
" Yeeeeehhhhaaaaaa!" The voice of Sonic the hedgehog screamed, as the plane he was currently knelt on corkscrewed in mid air. He had nothing holding him on except the laws of motion as he was spun upside down. But he didn't mind. The edge of danger was what made things exciting, it was how Sonic lived.
He turned round to view Tails, wearing a pair of flight goggles and, as usual, flying the plane. He gave the fox a thumbs up when he was the right way up, grinning almost from ear to ear. The fox smiled back with hesitation, enjoying himself but worried to. The fox pushed a small button on his helmet, activating his radio, which cracked to life in Sonic's eye piece.
" We should set her down now and have a break" Tails said, sounding just like a spitfire pilot despite his young age. Sonic moaned and said in a childish voice
" Aww, one more, please!" He begged. The plane began to set down and Sonic started to complain, then, completely unexpectedly, it swerved into another tight spin, catching Sonic by complete surprise and making his breath catch in his throat. When the movement was done he turned back to Tails. " You cheeky little devil". Tails smirked behind his goggles, lowering the plane in the air until it had once again reached solid ground. Sonic had jumped off even before the plans legs made contact with the ground, still smiling like a little kid. Tails turned everything off and removed his helmet, climbing out of the cockpit soon after. " Ah! It's just like the old times huh buddy? Just you and me flying the old tornado. No worries, no responsibilities, just two best friends ...hey! Do you think Knuckles would like to come with us too?" Sonic said in a cheerful voice, almost rambling in his joy. Tails shook his head.
" I doubt Knuckles would like to leave his son all alone with Rouge" he said in a serious tone, one which Sonic didn't seem to catch. The hedgehog simply shrugged and said in a still lighthearted voice
" Oh well, his loss". Tail watched him with worried eyes. He had hoped mentioning Seth would have made Sonic think about his own child and the one who was carrying it, but, just as Tails had feared, Sonic was ignoring any mention of his son, almost as if he was 15 again and his child, or Amy, didn't exist. " So, where next buddy?" Sonic said, sitting down on the grass. They had landed basically in the middle of nowhere, Sonic convincing Tails to go on an ' adventure' with him, promising to make all his trouble with Talim go away. Tails was so heartbroken at the time that he had let Sonic talk nonsense into his head. But, after just a day of flying around without any purpose other than keeping Sonic amused, Tails was starting to come to his senses. The only trouble was, Sonic wasn't.
" Shouldn't we be getting back now?" Tails asked with hesitation. Sonic took a while to reply, but when he did, it was a simple, non caring
" Why?". Tails felt himself grow uncomfortable around his best friend, who, over the years, had become more like the little kid who refused to grow up. Tails took a breath and tried to saw as reasonably and calmly as he could
" Well, I have to see if I can make up with Talim, and you should-
" I don't have to do anything Tails. That life is behind me "Sonic said, interrupting him. The hedgehog tone was turning less friendly now, more forceful. Tails grew scared.
" You can't just ignore what's happened over the last decade" He protested before he could stop himself. After he had spoken, his hands went straight to his mouth, realizing what he had said and gasping.
" Oh yes I can!" Sonic sang back, rather childishly. He got up and started walking off, away from Tails and the only voice of reason for miles.
" But Sonic-"
" But nothing Tails! I told you, that life is gone now, end of story, ok? " Sonic turned round to face Tails and said, even more forcefully now and even threateningly. Tails backed off a little and Sonic saw that as a sign he had won. The hedgehog smirked and turned away again, starting to walk off. Tails watched him go, temporarily stunned into silence. His so called ' Big brother' was turning into more of a spoilt brat. Not over gorged by his parents, but by his loyal fans, the president, everyone who had ever heard of him, apart from Robotnic of course. And now he felt like he could do whatever he wanted. But Tails knew this attitude had to stop, before his nephew grew up without a father.
" What's happened to you Sonic?" He said suddenly, quietly but loud enough to be heard. Sonic stopped his walking and turned around, looking Tails directly in the eye and replying menacingly
" Nothings happened Tails. Drop it". Tails saw Sonics lack of kindness towards him and anger rose within him. It was the first time ever that Tails had felt pure hatred towards Sonic. It made him realize just then, that things needed to change. He felt for Amy, how must she have felt? Sonic openly admitting in front of Amy that the life he had with her was not good enough. She had chased him for years and even now he ignored her. And now, leaving her all alone in their house in the middle of nowhere, while she was heavily pregnant. It wasn't fair. Tails had a feeling that Sonic had only dragged Tails along so he could pilot the plane.
" No!" Tails forced out his mouth. It was unnerving to stand up to Sonic like that. He was always right, in the past anyway. But now, he seemed so small, like that annoying stropy little kid that screamed when he didn't get what he wanted. Sonic turned around again, this time slowly. He stared at Tails with stone hard eyes, his pleased and excited expression all gone, now a cold, hard expression that made Tails sweat. But the fox had started now, and despite Sonic's horrible eyes staring it seemed deep into his soul, he needed to get out what he felt at that moment. His anger was fast overwhelming his fear of Sonic. What could that childish hedgehog do? " You can't just ignore what you've done Sonic! Amy needs you! And you owe it to her to look out for her! Why don't you get it? She loves you! And what did you give her back for all her years she gave up for you? You gave her your child to raise on her own and left her to it, while you went off and did whatever you wanted! I can't believe you! Don't you care about anyone apart from yourself?" Tails shouted, not taking a breath, completely exposing everything he thought about Sonic, but it spent his anger. Now that was gone, he was left only with his fear of Sonic, with his even harder expression staring into him.
Without warning, Tails felt a hard pain smash across his face. His head snapped to the side from the impact, and stayed there. The fox was too shocked to look up. He couldn't believe it, Sonic had hit him.
" Shut up!" Sonic screamed hysterically, then hit Tails again, harder this time. " Why can't you just keep your nose out of peoples business? Why?" Sonic shouted, almost weeping. He raised his hand to hit the fox again, but reconsidered, and instead started beating the planes panels with his fists. " Do you wanna' know why i'm not going back? Huh? Is that what you want? Fine! I'll tell you! Maybe I wanted to keep it a secret, but i'm obviously less important than everyone else" Sonic paused and looked at Tails as the fox slowly stood up, shuddering and bent over. The azure hedgehog shock with anger. " Amy kicked me out" he said in a low voice, but it betrayed what he felt inside, he was almost erupting with fury. Tails eyes widened.
" What?" He said in disbelief, not expecting that reason. Sonic laughed grimly and said spitefully
" Yeah, hard to believe eh? Amy, the girl who has loved me since the beginning, kicking ME out?" He turned away, not baring to look at Tails face anymore. " So pal, you happy now?" Sonic said, his voice dripping with vicious sarcasm. The deflated hedgehog began to walk away, wondering into the distance, not knowing where he was going, or even caring. He would have kept going as well, if Tails hadn't spoken up again.
" You deserved it". The hedgehog halted.
" What?"
" You deserved it!" The fox repeated, louder this time. Sonic whirled round, quick as a flash, and was in Tails face once again, his rage storming high.
" I've had my whole life taken away from me! Everything I ever cared about is gone! And your saying, I deserved this?". Tails held his ground, holding a bold face, his chin firm. He wasn't a little boy anymore, Sonic couldn't tell him what to do anymore. " Why! All I ever did was help people! And in reward, I get my whole life screwed up. Now even my so called best friend won't help me. What did I do to deserve all this!" Sonic moaned in a yelling voice, high pitched. The fox looked him in the eye.
" You used others misfortune for your own fun. I know you only ever helped people because you loved the look on Robotnic's face when you smashed up yet another one of his robots. That's why you freed him again, you wanted your fun back". Sonic gapped at Tails knowledge.
" How did you-"
" Know you were the one who freed him? I know because I know you , Sonic. I knew you'd do something stupid eventually and I also knew Robotnic couldn't escape that prison on his own. I helped design it, after all." By now, the fox was putting back on his flying gear, revving up the engine of his old biplane. He hopped into the seat, then looked back down at Sonic once more. " And most of all. You deserve it because you used Amy, took what you wanted from her then treated her like crap. She had every right to kick you out. I'm just sorry she didn't do it sooner". Tails put on his helmet. " Now, if you'll excuse me. I have a girlfriend to make up with".
And with that the lid to the tornado closed. Dust scattered as the engines fired. The plane lifted as its wheels spun along the ground, faster and faster until it was no longer in contact with the ground. Then it flew out of sight, leaving Sonic alone on an isolated grassy hill, with no one to keep company but the dreadful thoughts of his own selfish crimes.
