Before we start i just wanna explain some things so you are not confused when reading this,
This is an original sonic story set in a different universe compared to the one were used to most of the games are still cannon in this universe but it is still a separate universe nonetheless, sonic was 14 when he started fighting Eggman in sonic 1 this story takes place 9 years after making Sonic 23 years old, in this story tails is female to make it really set apart from the main universe she was 11 when she met sonic making her 20 years old now and although sonic x is not cannon in this universe Cosmo is in this story this Cosmo is much more different than the one were used to Cosmo is a male and tails feel in love with him but unfortunately, he died of natural causes he's going to be a big point in the story as you read it that that's set we can begin.
Sonic Fan 27 Presents...
SONIC ULTIMATE
The Pursuit For The Jewels
We fade into a very peaceful and serene grassy plains. A bird lands on the ground it looks left and fly's away a couple of seconds later we hear running footsteps coming closer and closer until there's a loud ZOOM! A blue blur runs right past the screen and the grass and flowers are shaking we cut to red running shoes then tan arms with white gloves then we cut to the full picture SONIC THE HEDGEHOG he's looking a little older than usual but he's still the same free spirited hero we all know and love he spots a badnik a motobug he smiles rolls up into a ball and destroys it freeing the animal inside he runs across a bridge 3 badnik fish parainas jump up to hit sonic but he jumps up hold his foot out as he destroys all three of them in a row he lands down in a super hero landing he spots a buzz bomber it starts shooting him he rolls and ducks out of the way he jumps on a wall and jumps to the badniks destroying it there's a big explosion but sonic arrives out of the smoke holding the animal in his hand he jumps down lets the animal go the animal gives him a fist bump sonic gets up standing proud
SONIC
Ahhh whelp guess that's all of them
He hears some explosions through some bushes and jumping
SONIC
Heh!
Sonic jumps through the bushes and sees what going on its tails, tails is destroying some badniks too sonic smiles
SONIC
YO TAILS!
Tails notices him
TAILS
SONIC!
Tails seems very happy to see him Sonic notices tails struggling with some badniks
SONIC
Need some help?
Tails smiles
TAILS
Some help wouldn't be bad!
Sonic jumps out as tails catches him in the air and throws him through some badniks while in the air sonic puts his hands behind his back and lands in a tree net bed Tails notices and smiles while rolling her eyes
TAILS
You may be 23 but you still act like your 15
SONIC
And what are you like 20 now?
TAILS
Yup!
SONIC
Man were does the time go...
Sonic jumps out of the tree net bed and stretches
SONIC
Haven't seen you in awhile what you been up to?
TAILS
Well i was working on some inventions of mine at my work shop until i saw some badniks i decided to go after them cause well i have not seen any in a long time come to think about it i have not seen any sign of Eggman in months
SONIC
Same here the only signs i saw of him were his badniks
TAILS
Him not being around this long is getting me worried sonic i mean what if he's using all this time to plan something BIG.
SONIC
I think we should head to his base and find out what he's planning before his plan comes into fruition. Just like old times huh?
Sonic pulls her in and gives her a knuckle rub on the head
TAILS
Heh heh Yeah!
Sonic and tails run off to the distance and we fade out.
We cut into Eggman's base eggman is reading a very old book as he read's he's talking to him self almost as if he's trying to find something until he stops and we see a picture in the book of some strange jewels he looks closer at this pacific page
EGGMAN
The mega emeralds those who welds its power shall be granted what they want most including bringing someone back to life, hmmm interesting however the echidna tribe abused its power and now whoever uses it possibly could be granted consenques like death however sacrificing something for the jewels can lower the chances of punishment. Very !
Orbot his robot assistant hovers to him
ORBOT
Yes sir?
EGGMAN
Search for any available results of Mega Emeralds.
Orbot's robot eyes turn purple as is search
ORBOT
Results of Mega Emeralds are available
There is a pause that seems like forever
EGGMAN
Well don't just stand there tell me the results!
ORBOT
Source Spagonia Article By Professor Pickle the mega emeralds are very a mysterious set of jewels nothing like the chaos emeralds legend says that the first people to find the emeralds were the echidna tribe and they used is power to grant them what they wanted most however as days gone by they abused its power so the next day when they used the emeralds the emeralds granted one of them death shocked by the results the emeralds was buried and never found again but legend says Uka cult has found them and are abusing its power to this day but they are not given consequences because the emeralds will accept sacrifice and blood no one knows if the uka tribe is still alive today or if the emeralds still exist legend says that the uka cult are located on dead man's island it is said that whoever goes there never come back.
EGGMAN
Sacrifice huh maybe if find the jewels i will be granted what I want most and let someone else do the sacrificing.
Eggman laughs to himself quietly
ORBOT
But sir your not possibly going to go find those jewels are you? Its a fool's errand
Eggman smiles
EGGMAN
Exactly orbot an errand.
They hear some commotion
EGGMAN
What was that!?
ORBOT
Uhhhh sirrr!
Sonic and tails show up to his base
SONIC
Yo Eggman its been awhile hasn't it
EGGMAN
Ahh sonic my favorite nemesis, and I see you brought your 2 tailed friend along with you.
TAILS
We already know your up to no good so why don't you tell us what your planning!
EGGMAN
Heh heh that would ruin the surprise now would it tails.
SONIC
Or we could just cut your party early
EGGMAN
Listen i know your too are itching to destroy my plans but I'm afraid that its not ready yet but it will surely be your last.
Tails looks mad but you can tell that she's worried
EGGMAN
But in the meantime I have appetizers for both of you. you rats!
Eggman presses a button
EGGMAN
Activate security systems! Get them both out of here NOW!
The giant machine gun pops out of the roof
SONIC
Now this is what I've been waiting for!
The machine gun starts firing at sonic and tails as they both run as the machine gun chases them
TAILS
SONIC DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD RUN FOR EGGMAN?!
A loud speaker appears
EGGMAN
I'm afraid that you can't do that tails!
Eggman presses a button and walls start closing behind sonic and tails as the machine gun is still chasing them
SONIC
Dang! He wanted us to run away from the machine gun were gonna have to bail out of here!
TAILS
I completely agree!
Sonic and tails run out of there until all of the doors are closed and the machine gun stops firing they jump outside as the last door closes there both exhausted
SONIC
Huff, huff, are you ok?
TAILS
Yeah I'm fine maybe we can find another way to get back in there
As tails says that the entire base turns electrified
SONIC
Heh heh any other plans
Tails rolls her eyes
SONIC
Well did you figure out anything that he said back there
TAILS
I heard him say something about another type of emeralds being more powerful than the chaos emeralds and how they grant you what you want most including bringing someone back to lif- I can bring Cosm-
As tails says that there's some shock in her eye she can barely say the sentence
SONIC
Tails?
TAILS
What! Sorry uh its nothing its nothing.
Sonic looks at her strangely but shrugs it off
TAILS
Uhh i also heard that the people who presumably found the emeralds where the echidna tribe
SONIC
Maybe knuckles might know something about this. Lets head over to Angel island and find out.
TAILS
I'll get the tornado.
Sonic and tails walk to the distance we cut to a house the house is pretty rough looking we pan over to a mail box for the house that says Po box Nack/Weasel. We hear a truck driving over and the door closes someone gets out of it were still on the shot on the mail box but we hear the truck a guy gets out and puts something in the mailbox and drives off we hear a female voice say
Girl
Honey can you get that please?
The door from the house opens we don't see who it is but he grabs the mail from the mail box as he reads it he examines it and he walks quickly with it
Girl
What was it?
We hear a deep Australian voice answer
?
Its just some old stuff ill take a look at it
Girl
Nack i hope its not one of your old things your old things have caused you trouble before
Nack
Don't worry its fine its nothing really.
He goes into a room and shuts the door he reads a piece of paper that says "I Need Your Help Call this number for details" fang grabs a phone and calls it but before he can the phone rings
Nack
Don't worry Maddie ill get it
He answers the phone
Nack
Hello?
The caller speaks its Eggman
EGGMAN
Listen i've worked with you before and i understand that your a changed man but i need you to help me again I-
NACK
What you want me to go after that kid again like all those years ago mate? well its not happening i got a family thats more important.
EGGMAN
No im going to need you for something else something more in your alley i need you to find me something its big job but i'm going to pay you handsomely more than what any bounty hunter like you could possibly imagine.
Fang looks over to his wife maddie and his kids he looks around his struggling family he sighs
FANG
What do you want Robotnik
EGGMAN
I need you to go to dead mans island and retrieve mystical gems called the mega emeralds
FANG
Dead mans island? The hell? that place don't even exist anymore some cult of freaks live there.
EGGMAN
Well i have the location there i need you to go to it ill book you a private flight with my assistants to go there if you run into trouble ill give you all the man power and weapons you need and yes you will most likely run into trouble Cult members... but all you need to do is bring me the emeralds and that's that. Nothing more
Fang puts his hand on the wall looks at his old hat and gear and his family he looks over on a table filled with bill papers
FANG
Deal.
EGGMAN
Excellent! Prepare to bring your things and my assistant will be waiting for you with your flight soon and like usual if you fail me you wont get your money, we will meet again Fang The Sniper.
Fang grabs his hat and pistol and all his old gear as hes doing that he looks behind him and sees maddie with her arm crossed clearly disappointed
FANG
Look im sorry i promise after this last one ill give it up forever were being offered a big cash prize once all i have to do is get those jewels to him then we can move to a bigger house and live better.
MADDIE
Im not going to burry you nack you told me that you would never do this again!
FANG
Honey please cant you see what state were in and im not gonna die cause i have a family to take care of.
MADDIE
Be careful.
Fang goes up to her and gives her a hug
FANG
i will i promise you i and the kids will live better when i get the money i love you
fang gives her a kiss as he starts packing up some of his old gear
We cut back to sonic and tails they are flying in the tornado to angel island
SONIC
Brings back old times huh tails?
Tails responds with not much energy than he was earlier.
TAILS
Yeah yeah...old times…
Sonic looks at tails confused again
SONIC
Are you okay?
TAILS
Yeah yeah im fine
Sonic leans over to tails
SONIC
Listen if you wanna talk, im here.
TAILS
Dont worry im fine…
Sonic looks at tails again before he can say something
TAILS
Were Here!
Sonic smiles he can feel the nostalgia
SONIC
Ahhh..good ol angel island always thought this place was beautiful lets go find knuckles.
We cut to knuckles sleeping with his hands behind his back on the master emerald
Sonic says to tails
SONIC
So much for being an emerald guardian huh
Tails giggles
Sonic grabs a bucket of water and splashes it on knuckles SPLASH! Knuckles wakes up angry and confused
KNUCKLES
THATS MY EMERALD BAT GIRL!
Knuckles looks around and sees sonic and tails
KNUCKLES
Oh its you guys! I have not seen you guys in ages!
Knuckles is very happy to see them
SONIC
Same as ever huh knuckles
As sonic says that tails picks up knuckles
KNUCKLES
Thanks. So what are you guys doing on angel island?
TAILS
We need your help knuckles eggman's planning to use these new set of emeralds called the mega emeralds we snuck into his base and heard that the echidna tribe were the first to find them and well your pretty familiar with emeralds so can you tell us anything you know?
KNUCKLES
Mega Emeralds huh? well i remember my parents telling me about them i heard that they were the most dark relenting emeralds much more than the chaos and master emerald. legend says that whoever uses them will grant them what they want most including bringing someone back to life
Tails stumbles
KNUCKLES
You okay there tails?
SONIC
she's been acting strange recent-
Before sonic can finish that sentence of tails says
TAILS
Im fine im fine. Just continue what you were saying please
KNUCKLES
Well that might sound great and all but my echidna ancestors abused there power so if you use them there's a 70% chance you could die doing it its not a safe bet. Discovering this they buried the emeralds on an island thats now called Dead mans island years later the uka cult a that cult believe in evil and death found the emeralds and found out that with sacrifice lowers the chances getting killed by the emeralds instead will give you what you want most.
Sonic seems very disturbed
SONIC
Jesus you weren't lying when you said these emeralds are dark i cant imagine what Eggman would do if he found those..
TAILS
I think i could fly us there i have a gps that can take to islands
KNUCKLES
Well i'd love to go with you guys but i got an emerald to protect and as you can tell earlier i gotta improve my game.
Sonic laughs
SONIC
Don't worry knuckles we understand see ya around.
As sonic and tails go to the tornado knuckles shouts
KNUCKLES
Be careful guys the uka cult is relentless!
SONIC
Don't worry knux well live!
As sonic and tails fly away in the tornado knuckles quietly says
KNUCKLES
I hope so…
We cut to tail's workshop its night time sonic and tails open the door
TAILS
I'll get the device and we will head there tomorrow.
Sonic yawns
TAILS
You wanna stay here tonight?
SONIC
Yeahhh my place is far from here.. Sure thanks.
TAILS
No problem.
Sonic goes into a room in tail's workshop to sleep tails goes to her bed and dreams
We cut to a pitch black place with tails standing in the middle of it she hears a voice
?
Tails.
Its cosmo
TAILS
I want to bring you back cosmo but the emeralds have consequences
COSMO
But isn't bringing me back what you want most?
TAILS
I want to bring you back but.. But…what if i die i can't abandon my friends.
Tails stutters
COSMO
What do you want most tails?
TAILS
I...I... I.. Want…
Tails starts crying
TAILS
I want you back But...but..
As she says that he disappears and we hear cosmos voice say tails! Tails! Tails! Until the voices changes Tails wake up! she opens her eyes and sees sonic
TAILS
Oh sorry sonic i had a... dream.
SONIC
no problem thought you'd never wake up i was screaming! you were sleeping like those princess who never wake up
Tails just looks at him
SONIC
What?
TAILS
What do you have to do to wake up a princess whose in a deep sleep?
There's an Awkward pause
SONIC
Oh... Well that sounded wrong oh c'mon you know how hard it is for me to come up with stuff! anyway i got you some breakfast and dont judge me cause i cant cook for squat
Tails laughs
Sonic gives her some coffee and a bunch of mint candy tails looks at him
SONIC
What? I ran to the store. I knew you like mint candy, aaannddd you know i'm bad at cooking, you don't want me to burn down your workshop again do you?
Tails laughs even more
TAILS
Oh your something else sonic
She eats one of the mints and sips some coffee
SONIC
Well did you find your gps thingy
TAILS
Yeah i made sure to make it track dead mans island wherever it is
SONIC
Hope we don't run into those uka savages
TAILS
We probably will because from what we heard those guys were the last known ones to have the jewels
SONIC
Well like it or not we gotta get them or else eggman's gonna have those emeralds and be worse than those guys
TAILS
Exactly. Soooo do you want me to make you breakfast?
SONIC
Honestly Tails after what i said earlier i think lost my appetite... but yeah i could go for some breakfast!
Sonic and tails laugh together and we fade out
We fade in to an airport Orbot is there holding a sign that says "Service For Nack The Weasel" orbot is asking random people if they have seen him
ORBOT
Excuse me do you know this man
Some old guy answers
OLD GUY
Huhh!?
He puts his glasses on looks at the sign and then looks at orbot he looks terrified
OLD GUY
HOLY MACARONI A TALKING ROBOT RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
He runs off Orbot sighs
ORBOT
Why do I even try…
Fang walks in wearing a black suit and holding a suitcase with his signature hat he nods at Orbot and they go to a plane
ORBOT
Let me just say sir that im warning you to be careful the uka cult are known for Killing innocents for anyone whos unfortunate enough to go to dead mans island.
FANG
Well robot dude if there's funny business i got bullet for each one of them
ORBOT
Just be careful sir.
Orbot goes into the cockpit in the plane to fly it, nack pulls out a picture of his family he takes a good look and whispers
FANG
Don't worry once im home our lives are gonna change.
He puts the photo on a table he puts his boots up tilts his hat down and sleeps through the flight. we cut to sonic and tails in the tornado flying there
TAILS
So what's the plan?
SONIC
We get in there use your device to find the jewels grab the jewels and get out
TAILS
And what about the uka cult?
SONIC
Well we get them out of the picture if we have to.
TAILS
Alright then.
Sonic sits down on the plane
SONIC
I've been wanting to ask you tails
Tails looks at him
SONIC
Ever since we found out about these jewels you have been acting strange lately. Is there something bothering you?
TAILS
I..i…i don't know sonic just… its nothing.
Tails does not tell sonic about cosmo cause shes still conflicted on using the jewels or not to bring him back
SONIC
Well i hope you get what ever's bothering you outta there.
TAILS
I..i..
Tails does not answer
SONIC
Well anyway "Gasp"
Sonic looks out and seems shaken
TAILS
What is it?
SONIC
I might not be the best at flying that plane but does that cloud look like good news to you?
There's a big dark cloud in the distance
TAILS
Oh boy…
We cut to fang sleeping orbot comes up to him
ORBOT
Wake up sir wake up!
Fang wakes up annoyed
FANG
Ughh what do you want mate?
There's a big Lighting strike and the plane rumbles
ORBOT
You gotta get outta here sir! Robotnik did not teach me how to fly in conditions like this!
FANG
Then why did he send an idiot to fly the damn plane! Your not even flying the plane right now you! Aghhh get me my things!
ORBOT
Yes Sir!
Orbot hands him his bag and heads for the cockpit we hear orbot scream
FANG
Why the hell are you screamin-
The plane is going really fast and is about to crash! Fang and orbot hold on to each other and scream and then there's a loud BOOM!
We cut to sonic lying on the ground in some sand at a beach side knocked until he wakes up
SONIC
Ughhh my head
Sonic stumbles he hears a CRACK
SONIC
Aghh! Thats gonna hurt in the morning...
he's looking very rough one of his gloves is tore to shreds he looks at his hand which has a huge gash in the middle of it
SONIC
ehhh Thats not good...
he sees tails floating in the water on her face sonic runs up and grabs her out of the water he starts slapping her fast gently tails does not respond
SONIC
Oh no.
SONIC
Hey tails wake up c'mon kid wake up!
Sonic notices shes is not breathing
SONIC
No! No no no no!
Sonic presses on her stomach
SONIC
Come on don't give up now! I thought you could swim!?
Sonic looks around left and right he's running out of options he repeatedly hits his own head with his hand
SONIC
I was kidding about the princess thing!
he looks at tails and sighs he takes a deep breath
SONIC
This is gonna hurt me a lot more than its gonna hurt you...
Sonic tries punching her in the stomach very hard it does not work sonic sighs Sonic squints his eyes He leans in but Before sonic can do what you think he's gonna do tails wakes up coughing up water
SONIC
Oh my god! Your alive!
Sonic laughs with joy he is super happy, Tails notices sonic's look and looks at him weirdly
TAILS
Sonic were you about to?
SONIC
Oh come on tails what choice did i have? and I thought you could swim!?
TAILS
.Are we at the island?
SONIC
I think, but maybe we should look around for supplies and other stuff that i see on tv.
TAILS
Oh so just cause you saw it on tv means that your the survival expert
Sonic looks at tails and responds with a weird smile
SONIC
Yeess?
Before tails can respond they notice a campfire in the distance. Sonic and tails go to it and find fang at the campfire
SONIC
Fang!?
FANG
Oh god can things get any bloody worse!?
SONIC
Woah woah as long as you don't try to kill us were cool right?
FANG
I guess.
TAILS
What are you doing here? Do you even know what this place is?
FANG
I crashed here the plane it in landed in ocean i saw the island and swam to it no one else survived
SONIC
Jesus... Where were you headed anyway?
Fang comes up with a lie but a lie that's very believable
FANG
Im a changed man i was on my way to visit my family but uhhh well you know.
Sonic looks at him feeling bad
SONIC
Geez i'm sorry man that must be hard.
FANG
Yeah well... so what's your guy's story?
Sonic and tails sit by the campfire as sonic tells his story he wraps bandages around his hand
SONIC
Well me and tails here were headed for this island so we can find these jewels called the mega emeralds robotnik was after. i heard some cult of death worshipers has them, when flying here a big storm hit we crashed.
Sonic looks at tails
She nearly drowned. I almost had to do stuff... ugh i thought you could swim tails!?
Tails laughs
TAILS
I was knocked out from the plane crash and landed in water i dont think a lot of people can swim unconsciously sonic.
fang realizes that he has a challenge but knows he can use sonic and tails to get the jewels
SONIC
Well you might wanna be careful fang i heard this uka cult is relentless i'd find away to get outta here if im you.
Fang comes up with another lie
FANG
No im probably gonna have to stick around with you guys dont wanna run into those freaks alone.
TAILS
Suit yourself but its gonna be dangerous
FANG
I can handle it.
SONIC
We should probably head there so we can get out im not leaving without those emeralds
FANG
Aye…
We fade out and fade into sonic fang tails climbing up some stairs
SONIC
Ya know for a cult thats known for killing innocents and sacrificing for some jewels that place up there does not fit the image whatsoever.
We cut to a beautiful looking palace place
TAILS
Maybe these guys don't bite too much?
FANG
Heh we'll see.
We cut to sonic tails and fang at the palace they knock on the big door to the palace a nicely dressed man answers the door
MAN

ATHRO
And i can see the condition your all in
Sonic and the gang all look beat up and rough
ATHRO
We can offer you a place to stay and a boat to take you back to were you came from so please make yourself at home!
Sonic tails fang walk into the building and see how beautiful it is sonic whispers
SONIC
Maybe we came to the wrong island?
TAILS
Well if thats the case these guys can take us there since they said they offered us a cruise.
FANG

Sonic and tails nod
ATHRO

2 girls nod and head to another room
ATHRO
Our assistants are arranging rooms and preparing a feast it may take some time so make yourselves at home.
A girl goes up to sonic tails fang
GIRL

They all follow her into their separate rooms. They are all very nice looking.
When the girl leaves sonic tells all of them to come in his room to plan
SONIC

TAILS

FANG

SONIC
Com'on Fang there offering us separate rooms to stay a feast and a cruise to get out plus how can a cult of death worshipers have access to all this food and luxury on an island the literally named dead man's island we don't even know if were on the same island we both crash landed here

We cut to sonic in his bed sleeping and hes well dreaming…
SONIC
"Snore" ahhh chili dogs "Snore" why can't i find my soap shoes "Snore" Sonic Rush has the best soundtrack in the series "Snore" Sonic 4 episode 2 was a pretty good game "Snore"
Sonic hears something while sleeping we see a shadow run past the camera sonic wakes up he stubbles out of bed tired he says
SONIC
Huh guys is that you?
A dark shadow comes up behind him with a rope and strangles sonic!
Sonic does his best to fight it desperate he finds a lamp post and smacks the guy with it he stuns him the guy gets up and grabs a knife running for sonic sonic goes by the window the guy throws the knife and grabs a nearby sword he laughs and charges at sonic. Sonic jumps out of the way and the guy CRASHES through the window he falls sonic straitens himself out
SONIC
The hell was that! I gotta get the others were getting out of here!
Sonic runs to tails room
SONIC
Get up tails were getting out of here!
TAILS
Why whats going on?
SONIC
Some guy tried to kill me, i think it was one of the cult guys they tricked us! get fang these guys have to have the emeralds some were
Tails grumbles tired
TAILS
And just when I thought we could trust these guys…
Tails runs to fangs room meanwhile sonic is looking in his room for clues he notices a satchel and grabs it.
SONIC
Gotta have something to put the jewels in.
Sonic looks at the walls and notices a part of the wall is more different looking than the others he goes up to the wall and tries to push it it does not work so he leans on the wall for a second the wall moves left and sonic falls on the floor theres a secret room
SONIC
Yup i knew that would work.
Sonic runs to tails and fang
SONIC
Guys might wanna check this out.
They all go to the secret room and sees 3 buttons sonic goes to press one of them but tails grabs sonic's hand
TAILS
We cant touch one of those buttons yet theres 3 of them we have to figure out what order we press them and if we press the wrong one well… i don't wanna find out tails points to a skeleton in the corner
SONIC
Yup listen to tails. Well theres gotta be some way to open it look around for clues
TAILS
Wait..
Tails points up above the buttons there are 3 carvings above the buttons
TAILS
Look around your rooms for something that looks like these carvings.
Sonic looks around until he notices something he looks up
TAILS
What is it sonic?
Tails looks up and sees a carving of a skull with the number 1 beside it
TAILS
Your right sonic go press the button with the skull on it fang go to your room and look for more ceiling carvings
Fang from the other room shouts
FANG
Got it its a picture of some waves
Sonic goes to press the button with the wave carving
Tails goes to her room and before she can say what the carving is she's shocked to see what it says, it reads "What do you want most?"
SONIC
What one is it tails theres 3 more carving one more button to press.
Tails stutters and says
TAILS
W..wha..what you want m..most
Sonic confused says
SONIC
I think you got the wrong one there is no one with "what you want most"
Tails shakes her head and sees a carving of 3 emeralds
TAILS
Uhh sorry sorry The one with 3 emeralds!
Sonic presses it and another door in the secret room opens
SONIC
Alright guys! There's another door come on!
Sonic tails fang head into the secret door and find a massive cave sonic tails and fang all look surprised because they see… THE MEGA EMERALDS there sitting in a rock shrine with them on display all 3 of them head to it sonic pulls out his satchel Until they hear a loud CLINK and the floor from beneath them drops! they all fall into a cage and they see all of the people from the palace but in black and red robes wearing a hood their leader comes out to meet them and takes off his hood ITS ATHRO!
FANG
Dammit! I knew we couldn't trust these guys!
SONIC
What do you want Athro!
ATHRO
Athro? My name is not athro i was athro until you fools feel for our trap my name is Ino the leader of the uka
TAILS
What are you going to do with us?
Ino leans down
INO
My friends you all will make precious sacrifices for the mega emeralds so make yourself at home while you can!
TAILS
Whelp there's the answer on what island were on
Ino laughs like a maniac as the cult members take the gang to a room with 3 rock tables with 3 cloaked members by the tables sonic tails and fang are strapped to the tables all the members start to do a huh! Huh! Chant as Ino speaks some forsaken language
As he's saying this the cloaked members by the table hold up sharp daggers
SONIC
No way i'm not dying like this.
Sonic grabs a nearby rock and throws it at the cloaked member he falls to the ground and drops his dagger sonic grabs it and cuts himself free
INO
STOP HIM!
All of the of the members charge for sonic sonic runs around all of them until they cant see him
In a split second sonic frees tails and fang sonic grabs the jewels and puts them in his satchel
SONIC
C'MON GUYS LETS GET OUT OF HERE!
Sonic tails fang all run out of the place as all of the cloaked members chase them sonic tails fang all run across a giant bridge until
SONIC
Wait guys stop!
Fang and tails stop across the bridge
SONIC
You thinking what im thinking?
BOTH

SONIC
Stay here
All of the Uka cult are running across the bridge until they see sonic stop they all stop too
INO

All of the cult laugh on the bridge
INO

Sonic looks at him and smirks he leans on a tree looking at his fingers
SONIC
Its all long way down isn't it fatty?
INO
What!? im not fat!
SONIC
No no im talking about all of your cult and you still on the bridge
Ino looks behind him and sees the ropes snapping there's too many people on the bridge
INO
EVERYONE GET OFF GET OFF!
Before they can get off the rope snaps
INO
CURSE YOU SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!
The bridge breaks and All of the cult fall
FANG
Damn that was a little brutal even for my standards kid
SONIC
How else are we gonna fight all of those guys
Tails and fang look at him
SONIC
Lets just go home…
We cut to sonic tails fang outside on the beach fang is ready to make his move hes leaning for sonic's satchel but before fang can grab it tails grabs it sonic looks confused
SONIC
Tails? what are you doing?
TAILS
Im going to use the emeralds to bring back cosmo!
SONIC
What NO! I cant let you do that didn't you hear what knuckles said? Those things can kill you!
TAILS
There's a 70% chance of me dying sonic I'm gonna take the 30% i cant live without cosmo i made my choice
SONIC
And i can't live without you! You're my best friend! I cant lose you!
Before tails can respond fang takes the satchel from tails
FANG
I cant let you do that either mate eggman wants these shinnies and hes offering a big cash prize to whoever brings it to him i have a struggling family they need that money
Sonic looks at fang confused
SONIC
You..you knew this from the beginning didn't you? you used us to get those!
Fang smiles
FANG
Outlaw mate, all of you chose what your gonna do now cause its over one of us can only get the shinnies and the rest are gonna have to face what they cant lose like your 2 tailed friend dieing or a dead husband lost forever or my family continuing to live in pointless misery it's either me or all of you.
Fang pulls out a pistol and aims
FANG
And well the way i see it figured it might as well be all of you.
They all switch to a fighting pose sonic looks at fang.
SONIC
I cant let you get those to eggman…
Sonic looks to tails
SONIC
And i cant let you use those
Tails looks at sonic angry
FANG
Make your move mates cause its all over the only thing that matters to me is my family. So whos gonna take the first shot?
Tails charges for fang but sonic pushes tails out of the way before fang shoots him tails punches sonic out out of the way tails and runs for fang sonic runs to fang and kicks him in the face and grabs the satchel tails punches sonic in the head and sonic falls to the ground she grabs the bag sonic and fang run for her we cut to orbot looking very much alive looking pretty rough too
ORBOT
Uhhh were am i
His eyes turn purple
ORBOT
SCANNING AREA
Orbot gulps and says
ORBOT
DEAD MANS ISLAND!?
He hears yelling he looks behind him and sees all of the uka cult chasing him orbot screams and runs away
Sonic has the satchel and is fighting tails but more tail's fighting sonic and sonic is holding back
SONIC
Listen to me if you use the jewels you might die i cant let you take that risk!
TAILS
Its a risk i'm willing to take. I'd take any risk to bring back cosmo! Why cant you understand sonic!?
SONIC
Why cant you understand!?
She punches sonic in the face and grabs the satchel he makes a run for it but fang trips her grabbing the satchel sonic gets up and is shoke!
SONIC
Uhhh guys! Were gonna have to do this quick!
Sonic points tails and fang looks and see all of the cult running right towards them in the distance! Tails and fang fight as fang drops the satchel tails and fang don't notice, this buys sonic enough time to grab the satchel they still don't notice him sonic goes to tail's tornado he spots a bag he ditches the satchel and takes the emeralds out and puts them in the bag he puts rocks in the satchel sonic puts the satchel in the tornado and then sonic is knocked out by tails before tails can notice what sonic did he runs to fight some cult member getting closer and closer fang goes up to the tornado he grabs the jewels out of the bag sonic put them in his jacket fang grabs the satchel still even sonic wakes up and notices tails fighting the cult sonic runs up to tails and grabs her by the arm
SONIC
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE TAILS THERES TO MANY OF THEM!
Tails notices fang running away with the satchel in the far distance tails knows she cant catch up to him and she looks at the cult running towards them she's super pissed tails grabs a sharp rock and GASHES sonic across the face sonic grunts with pain tails grabs sonic and pins him on the tornado tails tries to stab sonic with the sharp rock but sonic kicks it out of her hand tails is trying to kill sonic! She's losing herself! she looks at sonic and grabs him by the throat strangling him! tails pins him on the floor, still strangling him. tails fur starts turning darker and her pupils start to disappear its a terrifying sight
TAILS
HE GOT AWAY CAUSE OF YOU YOU MADE ME LOSE MY ONE CHANCE OF GETTING COSMO BACK SONIC! HE'S GONE FOREVER BECAUSE OF YOU!
Tails pushes him to the ground more sonic is struggling its a side to tails we have never seen.
TAILS
You think i wont!? I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
Tails chokes him even more sonic is gasping for air! He's slowly losing his life sonic starts bleeding from his mouth from how much she's choking him his blood drenches her gloves before tails can kill him sonic lets out a sentence
SONIC
Do..do you think GASP this is what he would have wanted you killing someone to bring him back!? This isn't you!
Tails looks shook she immediately stops strangling sonic, her dark fur starts to turn back into its yellowish orange glory her pupils appear again sonic gasps for air coughing up blood his blood gets all over tails gloves Tails looks at her gloves with sonic's blood on them devastated
TAILS
What have i done… i'm a monster….
Sonic still with blood all over his mouth gets up and weakly says
SONIC
Listen tails i understand what your trying to do any one would understand what your trying to do but i cant let you take that risk i know thats sad but you have to accept the bad things and move on or else you will lose yourself.
Tails gets on her knees and cries
TAILS
That's all i am sonic, a monster
SONIC
If there were no consequences to using those emeralds id let you bring him back gladly but there are and if i lost you i don't know what i'd do i'd never forgive myself your my best friend tails. You cant let something like this control you, you have to fight it! And move on.
Tails looks up to sonic
SONIC
Please.
Sonic holds up his hand to tails
Tails has a flashback we cut to tails fixing the tornado sonic comes up to her but sonic looks very young
SONIC
Hey kid any reason why your messing with my plane?
TAILS

SONIC
Hurt you? Im not gonna hurt you...
TAILS

SONIC

TAILS

Sonic looks at tails feeling bad he leans down
SONIC

TAILS
You promise not to tell?
SONIC
Huh?
TAILS

SONIC
Do you not like your name or something?
Tails does not respond
SONIC
I saw you around my plane I'm just and I'm wondering what you're doing around it. Not a lot of people wander around a plane, I'm not mad im just you know curious.
TAILS
Im..im sorry mister i just like stuff like planes and making them better improving them making them faster...
SONIC

Sonic looks impressed
SONIC

TAILS

Sonic nods
Sonic notices her 2 tails
SONIC
Well kid i've seen ya around following me and well i notice that you can run pretty fast! You can keep up kid! And i saw you fly with your 2 tails! Do you have anywhere to live, kid?
TAILS
No.. ive never known about any of my parents all i know is that they were gone a long time ago
Sonic looks at tails feeling bad
SONIC
Listen you wanna run with me for a while, your cool company! Maybe i can help you find someone to live with.
Sonic extends a hand to her
SONIC
Tails.
Tails smiles and takes his hand we fade to tails in a pitch black place like from her dream
Tails she is in the middle until a dark evil voice speaks its a dark reflection of tails with no pupils
DARK TAILS
You fool you should have killed him and we could of had cosmo back
TAILS
I WILL NEVER TO KILL MY BEST FRIEND TO GET HIM BACK! THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED! THAT'S NOT WHO I AM! THAT'S YOU!
DARK TAILS
cosmo is the only thing that matters to us, sonic is our only obstacle eliminate him and we get him back
TAILS
Sonic is trying to help us realize that this is wrong!
DARK TAILS
He holds you back.
TAILS
He's my friend and i know i can't rely on him forever. The only thing that's holding me back IS YOU!
Evil tails screams and explodes Tails goes down on her knees and bows her head
TAILS
Im sorry cosmo.
Tails starts to cry on her kness until a soft male voice speaks to him
COSMO
Thank you Tails
Tails looks at cosmo confused
TAILS
What.. w.. What do you mean?
COSMO
Thank you for staying strong and moving on that's what i've always wanted for you im so proud of you i'll always be with you tails.
he starts to disappear
COSMO
Always.
We cut back to tails she notices sonic arm still extended to her she takes it and hugs sonic
TAILS
Im.. im so sorry sonic...
Tails hugs sonic very tightly sonic is very surprised and he awkwardly says
SONIC
This is a little awkward don't you think
Tails wipes her tears and smiles
TAILS
So me hugging you after you helping me realize what i was doing was wrong, is awkward?
SONIC
Well im not saying that but you were literally trying to kill me 2 seconds ago
Tails smiles
TAILS
You know what else is awkward sonic?
Tails leans close to sonic, sonic is looking nervous as sonic says
SONIC
Why are you looking at me like that?
She smiles and gets closer
SONIC
Wait What are you- !
She gives sonic a kiss, and smiles
TAILS
How's that for awkward?
SONIC
That did not just happen...You did not just do that...
TAILS
Well then i guess you're just blind.
She turns away and quietly says
TAILS
Thank you sonic….
She notices sonic still shook and ask
TAILS
Oh come on Sonic it was just a little kiss. a kiss among friends right? nothing serious.
SONIC
Right...
tails clears her throat
TAILS
"Ahem" So what do you say we ditch these losers?
Sonic notices the cult is coming closer and closer to sonic and tails
SONIC
Yep lets get outta here
Sonic and tails hop in the tornado and fly off
We cut to fang running through the forest as the cult chases him fang stops
FANG
Screw this.
He throws the satchel with the rocks on the ground as the cult members laugh but they don't know fang still has the emeralds he notices orbot
FANG
Hey robot dude follow me were getting out of here
ORBOT
Yes sir!
Fang and orbot run into the distance
We fade to eggman reading a book the same book with the jewels orbot appears looking very rough
EGGMAN
What happened to you?
ORBOT
Its a long story...you have a guest sir
Fang walks in also looking very rough
EGGMAN
Ahhh fang did you bring me the emeralds
Fang pulls out a bag and plops it on eggman's desk
FANG
I got the shinnies.
Eggman pulls out the emeralds and looks very impressed
EGGMAN
Very good.
EGGMAN
Orbot!
ORBOT
Yes sir?
EGGMAN
Give Fang his Prize!
ORBOT
Course follow me this way sir.
Fang and orbot go to another room there's a chest filled with gold fang smiles
FANG
Heh guess all that hell was worth it. Pleasure doing business with you robotnik.
Fang tips his hat and leaves with the chest. We go back to eggman who is smiling very evilly
EGGMAN
i have it orbot i have the MEGA EMERALDS! Now i can harness its power! Soon sonic and his friends wont know what hit them! The final plan is in fruition
Eggman laughs like a super villain our heroes don't know it but this is only the beginning
we cut to
Fang pulling his chest full of gold when he head to his house he knock on the door with a smile on his maddie answers and he hugs fang
FANG
Its all over honey
She sees the chest and kisses fang
FANG
Were gonna live better now.
As we zoom out we hear fangs son running for his dad fang is very happy we notice a side to fang we never seen before a family man and overall things are going very nice for him back at the tornado sonic and tails are flying back home tails has her jacket back on from the beginning and sonic's scars and blood are less visible they both look better than what they were on the island
TAILS
Im.. im sorry sonic i.. I nearly killed you it was selfish of me i was so blind with rage its like there was something controlling me...
SONIC
Tails like i said before no one would blame you for what you were doing. but it's over now we can all breathe a little easier...
TAILS
Thank you… thank you so much sonic.
SONIC
No problem. like i said if you never need to talk I'm here.
There's a pause
TAILS
Soooo.. Now what?
SONIC
We settle things like eggman and you..kissing me..and this mess in general but i think we can rest easy.
TAILS
Fang still got the jewels though
SONIC
Well then i guess we got another adventure ahead of us huh?
Tails smiles but sonic looks down and sighs because hes getting tired of doing the same thing hes getting tired of all the adventures but we don't know that The tornado lands and They walk through the plains like at the beginning of the story they notice more badniks
TAILS
Is it time to go to work?
SONIC
It's time to go to work!
Sonic and tails fist bump the Sonic grabs her by the hand And BOOST! Through tons of badniks!
THE END
