A/n: I'm so tired but I can't sleep, that ever happen to you? Thank you IcyPinkFlower for reviewing.
IcyPinkFlower- The tornado? You mean the plane he has in the games and anime? If that's what your referring to then my answer is no since this is set in a mix between the Sonic world and our world and in our world 8 year old's can't own planes. I did reference the tornado in a earlier chapter however as something Tails calls his toy plane.
I own nothing.
Silver walked towards the hotel and looked back at Shadow.
"Are you sure this is the place?" He asked.
"Why wouldn't it be?" Shadow asked a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"It's just, it seems kind of populated. I don't wanna hurt anyone if I don't have to," Silver responded.
Shadow sighed, "If you don't do this mission then I will."
"No! I'll do it," Silver responded. Despite not wanting to hurt anyone at least when he found Sonic there'd be a chance to prevent any civilian casualties. With Shadow and Sonic though...that'd be a different story, especially since Shadow didn't care about others.
Shadow rolled his eyes and yelled 'chaos control' before being teleported back to the lab.
Silver looked up at the building that loomed over him.
'This is for Stix, for Marine, for Blaze.'
"Are you sure it was a good idea to stay at a hotel like this?" Tails asked with uncertainty. The two didn't have much money and they needed it to last as long as possible.
"Considering the toilet wouldn't flush properly at the last place we stayed at, yes I think this was a good idea," Sonic responded. He knew they were low on money which is why he was prepared. While Tails was watching TV earlier Sonic left to buy them dinner and that wasn't the only thing he got. He also used his speed to pickpocket someone. He knew it was wrong but they were on the run, they didn't exactly have a choice. Plus he took the money from some rich looking business man who didn't look like he was in desperate need of cash.
Sonic smirked, 'If Vector knew what I just did he'd be proud.'
"Tails are you almost done in there? You said you wanted to check out the pool and it's gonna be closing soon."
Just after Sonic said that Tails came out of the bathroom wearing his yellow swim trunks. When him and Sonic were packing he apparently thought of everything.
"Are you sure you don't wanna go swimming with me?" Tails asked.
"Yes I'm sure, you know I can't swim," Sonic responded.
"Well okay, see you later Sonic," Tails said before leaving.
"Just remember to be back by 9," Sonic called to his brother.
"Okay!" He heard Tails yell back.
Sonic glanced at the clock. 8:00pm. Looks like he had sometime to kill. He started to flip through the stations on the TV looking for something to watch.
Tails made his way to the elevator and adjusted his swim trunks and swim cap. To hide his Tails in the trunks he had to wrap his two tails around his waist and to hide his ears he had to wear this stupid swim cap. He hated the stupid thing, Sonic even teased him about it when Tails asked for him to buy it when they were checking out the gift shop but it was worth it. Unlike his brother Tails loved to swim, even if he wasn't very good at it. The elevator dinged and a couple people shuffled in. The second time the elevator stopped was the bottom floor, which was Tails destination so he left and made his way to the pool.
The pool wasn't packed but there was a pretty good crowd there. Tails placed his hotel towel on a vacant lounge chair before cannonballing into the pool. When he came up he started to swim around for a bit, practicing his backstroke and seeing how long he could hold his breath under water. This went on for a couple of minutes before he saw a familiar Silver haired teen enter the pool area.
'Silver!'
Tails freaked out and went underwater. Silver was here for him but how did Silver find them? That didn't matter. Right now he had to leave without being seen and tell Sonic. Tails carefully peeked the top part of his head out of the water. Good Silver was distracted talking to someone. Probably asking if they've seen a boy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. Thank god for his swimming cap.
Tails carefully got out of the water and speed walked towards his towel. He wrapped it around his body in a way so you couldn't see the bottom half of his face, only his eyes. He then briskly walked out of the pool area and into the elevator and pushed the 3rd floor button, which is where his and Sonic's room was.
"Hey! Hold the elevator!"
Tails despite being in a hurry did so out of politeness. However he wished he didn't when Silver entered the elevator.
"Thanks, hey looks like we're going to the same floor," Silver commented.
Tails just nodded and kept his head down. After what seemed like an eternity the doors finally opened. Tails bolted from the elevator in a hurry to find his room.
"Must have a curfew he has to meet," Silver said as he exited the elevator and started his search.
After a while of channel surfing Sonic just decided to watch the news since nothing else was on. It was fairly boring, the news anchors talked about some stupid celebrity scandal and stocks, however after that is where things got interesting.
"In our top story tonight apparently Central Station donut shop caught on fire today. We're going to Kelly with the latest."
Sonic's eyes widened. Central station donut shop! That was were Eggman's lab was. He turned up the volume a bit and listened intently.
"Thanks Tom. The people of Central Station were in for a shock today when eyewitnesses tell us the building suddenly burst into flames."
The scene cut to a man in his 20's who was apparently one of the eye witnesses.
"I was just walking my dog when all of a sudden I started to smell smoke and I saw not too far away that there was smoke coming from the building."
The camera then cut back to Kelly.
"The police are investigating this fire and speculate that it may have possible been some kids. Fortunately no one was in the building when the fire broke out. Back to you Tom."
Sonic stared at the screen in shock for a couple seconds.
'A fire? Who set Eggman's base on fire? He doubted it was just a couple of kids, no it had to have been someone who knew about the lab. It couldn't have been Blaze, she may be pyrokenetic but if she betrayed Eggman then her younger sisters will be in danger.'
A sudden loud banging snapped Sonic out of his thoughts. He looked through the peep holding to see Tails half covering his face with the towel. He opened the door and Tails practically bowled him over.
"Sonicwehavetogetoutofherenowitanemeregencyisawhim!"
Sonic shut the door and rushed to Tails side.
"Tails what's wrong?" Sonic asked in a calm voice, hoping to calm down his hysterical little brother.
"WehavetoleavnowbeforehegetsmeSonicpleaseSonicplease!" Tails exclaimed as tears streamed down his face.
"Tails calm down. Take a deep breathe," Sonic said as he gave Tails a hug.
Tails did as instructed and without letting go Sonic said, "Okay now tell me what happened."
"I saw Silver," Tails squeaked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Sonic's expression darkened as he tightened his grip on Tails.
"Get dressed and grab your bag. Were leaving asap," Tails nodded and started to get dressed.
Once he was dressed, had his appendages hidden and they had their bags the two left trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. The two walked over to the elevator and waited. Once they got to the lobby Tails stuck by Sonic as he checked out. As they were walking towards the doors Sonic felt his legs stop moving.
"Sonic, what are you doing?" Tails asked, tugging on Sonic's hand.
"My legs are stuck. I can't move."
"It's no use," Tails turned and saw Silver standing near them using his psychic powers.
"S-Silver," Tails squeaked out, fear evident in his voice.
By this time more and more people were noticing Silver and how he looked and were starting to freak out and panic.
"Sorry, I wish it didn't have to come to do this Sonic but you're not the only one with someone you have to protect," Silver said before trying to make a grab for Tails wrist. Tails jumped out of the way however and started to run away.
"Hey, get back here!" Silver yelled running after the child.
"Tails!" Sonic yelled as he struggled furiously to get his legs free.
Tails ran into the dining room and ducked under one of the white clothed table. While he was crawling through the maze of legs of the people eating Silver entered.
He surveyed the area looking for any sign of the two-tailed boy.
"Damn it, this is going to take forever," Silver grunted out of frustration.
A waiter who had been walking by noticed Silver and asked him, "Sir, is anything wrong?"
Before he could answer Silver saw a flash on yellowish orange appear before dashing under a table.
"There!" He yelled before he used his powers to throw the table to the wall. The people who had been sitting at the table screamed and ran away while the rest of the room went into a frenzy. People ran out of the room screaming leaving Tails and Silver.
Sonic struggled some more but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't move. He tried one more time and fell down. He got up and wiggled his toes.
"Hey, I can move again!" He yelled happily. The only thing he couldn't figure out was how come all of a sudden he could move?
Sonic shook his head, "I'll think about it later. Right now I have to find Tails, but where could he be?"
Suddenly Sonic heard screaming. He looked and saw a mob of people running out of the dining room,"I think I just found him."
Tails jumped out of the way as Silver made another grab for him. The silver haired teen grunted and started to walk towards the child as said child slowly backed away.
"Look Tails, I don't want to use my telekinetic powers on you. I have morals and I don't feel comfortable using it on someone so young, so could you please just cooperate or else I will be forced to use my powers on you."
Tails looked around noticed the leg of a broken chair.
"No!" Tails yelled picking up the leg and throwing it at Silver.
The teen hadn't expected this and the leg hit him in the face giving Tails a few precious moments to run. He didn't get far however as Silver had had enough. Despite his morals he used his telekinesis to pick Tails up and make him immobile.
"Put my little brother down this instant!"s
Silver's head turned to see Sonic standing there.
"Sonic!" Tails exclaimed happily.
'Damn it! I completely forgot about him!' Silver cursed.
Sonic ran over to Silver and punched him in the stomach. The sudden impact caused him to lose focus and drop Tails.
"Hey buddy, you okay?" Sonic asked holding out his hand.
Tails took the hand and Sonic hoisted him up. Before he could respond however Sonic was suddenly hit with a table and flew into the wall.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled out.
Silver appeared next to Tails and grabbed him by the arm.
"Quit resisting! You're just making this harder than it has to be!" Silver grunted.
"Never!" Tails yelled before biting Silver's arm.
Silver yelled out in agony and let go of Tails. The 8 year old ran over to Sonic who was just getting up. Sonic roughly pulled Tails down and they heard the sound of glass breaking behind them. In front of them stood Silver and behind him was the china that was being used during the dinner party.
The plates surged forward towards the two. Sonic (still holding onto Tail's arm) ran over towards a toppled over table, dragging Tails with him and turned it on its side to use it as a shield.
"I think I made him really angry," Tails whimpered.
"You think!" Sonic exclaimed, "This is bad. We need to attack him but what are we supposed to do? We can't get anywhere near him though and if we tried to run away he'd just stop us with telekenisis."
Tails let out a sudden gasp, "That's it! Sonic I think I figured out a way we can beat Silver."
"Well spit it out."
"Remember how he dropped me after you punched him? I think his control on something has to do with his focus and when his focus is lost he loses his hold on it. Also notice how he hasn't grabbed me with his powers and the plates? I think since I can normally move unlike plates I require more focus to keep a hold on so he can only grab one person and if that happens he loses control on whatever else he may have been holding."
'That would explain why I could move again all of a sudden. Silver must have been using his powers on something else and let go of me.'
"Um, Tails that's useful info and all but how is that supposed to help us now?" Sonic asked.
Tails crawled over to Sonic and started to tell him his plan.
Silver was furious. He just wanted to grab Tails and go but unfortunately for him he underestimated the kid. He knew Sonic would do all in his power to protect his brother but he had just thought Tails was like any average kid and would to scared to do anything, but apparently he was wrong.
"Hey Silver!" Silver looked and saw Tails jump out of hiding, his Tails now out.
Tails stuck out his tongue, "You can't get me!"
Silver growled and telekinetically threw a plate at the child not caring if he hurt him. He stopped caring when the kid bit him.
Tails started to run around dodging plates. While Silver was distracted Sonic came out of hiding and ran over to Silver. Before he could execute his side of the plan however Silver grabbed Sonic by the wrist and threw Sonic into the wall. He picked up some forks and knifes telekinetically and used to pin Sonic to the wall by his clothes. Silver walking up to the older teen in a menacing manner and even in his current position of helplessness Sonic refused to show fear and instead chose to glare at Silver.
Silver stopped in front of Sonic before speaking, "I understand why you did this and I shouldn't be mad at either of you."
Sonic's glare intensified and Silver sighed, "I understand if you don't forgive me but I had to do this. If I didn't Robotnik would hurt Blazes family."
An uncomfortable silence fell between the two.
"I'm sor-"
Before Silver found finish his sentence his body went stiff before he fell face first to the ground and behind him stood Tails, flying and his hand in a position that suggested that he chopped Silver in the neck like Sonic was supposed to do.
Tails landed on the ground and ran over to Sonic and pulled the forks and knives that were holding him in place out.
"Thanks Tails," Sonic said. He looked at Silvers unconscious body and picked him up and slung him over his shoulder and grabbed Tails's hand. Sonic ran outside (after getting their bags) and placed Silver near the woods so he wouldn't be seen but would also be safe.
"We better get out of here quick. I have a feeling the cops were called and we don't wanna stick around when they get here."
Sonic placed Tails on his shoulders and started running. Once they were far enough away and Tails started to complain about being tired Sonic stopped and decided that they would just camp out for the night. While they were making their beds (which were piles of leaves) Sonic decided to ask Tails a question.
"Hey Tails?"
"What is it?"
"You know how you chopped Silver in the back of the neck?"
"Yeah."
"How'd you know where exactly to hit him? I'm not complaining or anything but as far as I know you never took any karate lessons."
"I didn't. I just chopped at him and hoped for the best."
Sonic smiled and tousled Tails's hair, "You're becoming more and more like me everyday."
Sonic laid down on his leaf bed, "I'm gonna hit the hay...erm...leaves….and you should too. Goodnight Tails."
Tails nodded and layed down on his leaf pile.
"Goodnight."
The van that the group had been taking to Casino City was silent, which was in stark contrast considering hours before it was complete havoc. The only sounds that could be heard was the faint sound on the music Vector was blasting into his ears using his iPod and the occasional sounds of typing and clicks coming from Charmy's laptop.
In the back Knuckles was asleep and so was Cream who was using the red head teens side as a pillow. Amy could feel herself nodded off but she kept forcing herself to stay awake, Rouge was looking out the window and Espio was still driving the car.
"Hey Charmy, how much longer until we get to Casino City?" Amy asked.
Charmy took another sip of his can of Monster(how else were they gonna keep the 7 year old awake for so long?) and said, "Just a couple of minutes. We're on the outskirts of town right now."
Off in the distance Espio started to see flashing lights.
"Huh?"
This got Rouges attention, "What's wrong?" She looked out the drivers window from her seat in the back and saw the flashing lights and as they got closer to the scene they also saw a hotel.
"Guys were on the outskirts of where Sonic and Tails might be. Do you think this could have something to do with them?" Amy asked, her previous tiredness forgotten.
"It's worth a shot. You know what to do Espio," Charmy chimed in.
Espio rolled his eyes but slowed down driving and pulled up to a cop.
"Excuse me sir, do you know what happened here?" Espio asked the cop.
The cop sighed, "We're not exactly sure, but eyewitnesses say they saw a boy about 14 with silver hair using psychic powers and looking like he was possessed. It sounds ludicrous, am I right. Ha!" The cop laughed.
Rouge perked up at hearing that a boy with Silver hair was there. Amy noticed this but decided to keep quiet for now as the last thing they needed was to seem suspicious to the cops.
Espio nodded, "Thank you for your time."
Once Espio drove the van out of hearing range of the cops Amy asked Rouge what happened back there.
"A silver haired kid, that must be Silver."
Amy tilted her head, "Silver?"
He's a kid that works for Eggman and has telekinetic powers. There's not a doubt in my mind, that cop must have been talking about Silver and he must be tracking Sonic down. Still why would he do that? He's such a nice kid and from what I'd seen him and Sonic were friends."
"Well if he treats his friends like that than he sure is a terrible one," Amy said crossing her arms.
"No, I know Silver and he wouldn't be doing this unless he was forced to."
Amy opened her mouth to object only to be cut off by Espio, "Hey you two it's kind of late. I'm gonna pull over and get some sleep and you should three should as well."
"But Espio, I wanna stay up a bit later. Please?" Charmy begged.
Espio sighed, "Very well."
Charmy let out a small victory sound before opening up a search engine on his laptop to play some online games.
Amy unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed in the back next to the seven year old. Where Charmy was sitting there was a empty space and the teen figured she would be much more comfortable sleeping lying down rather than in a sitting position. She layed down and waited for slumber to overcome her.
She didn't sleep at all that night.
A/n: This chapter, oh geez do I have a story. So after I finished writing it and while I was going through editing I felt dissatisfied with the fight scene so rewrote it and it took so long since I've been busy lately and let's just say I'm not the best at writing fights. Also was Silver out of character? I haven't really played many Sonic games, in fact I'm more of the fan of the cartoons and Silver only appears in the game and comic media. Please let me know and if he was I apologize. I'm gonna go to bed so later guys.
