A/n: I owe you guys an explanation of why I've been gone for 2 whole months. I got busy and was starting to feel major depression because to all the stress I was under due to school, work and other the end of most days I just wanted to crawl into my bed and sleep. I didn't feel like writing stories, let alone editing them. I kind of pushed myself to release this chapter because I felt bad for making you guys wait so long, so here you go. I own nothing except for OC's but at this point in the story you probably won't see any of significance.
Tails had been drifting between the plane of sleep and awarness when the sound of a door opening brought him back to the world designed to be his own personal hell. Instead of Blaze or Silver coming to get him it was instead Eggman himself.
"How's my little project doing?" Eggman asked in a demeaning tone. He reached out his hand to pet Tails. In response to being treated like a dog Tails acted like one. He growled and snapped at Eggman. Unfortunately before he could sink his teeth in the scientists flesh the man recoiled his hand.
"Just keep it up fox-brat, you won't be acting so snappy once I'm done with you."
Tails rolled his eyes. He didn't know what this guy could do to him that was worse than what he had already done. Tortured him, kept him in a small dog crate, starved him, honestly he didn't think it could get any worse.
Two robots holding guns walking into the room and unlocked Tails cage. One foot out of line and they'd shoot. Eggman led Tails and the robots down the hall, however instead of going to the room they usually go to they went through a door off to the left.
The room they had entered looked almost like a hospital with a bed and medical equipment. The robots forced tails onto the bed, tied him down by his wrists and ankles using the leather straps attached to said bed. Tails moved his head and noticed two empty large containers off to the side.
The door was opened and a bed was wheeled in carrying an unconscious girl. The girl had reddish brown hair tied in pigtails and was wearing a green tank top with blacks pants and green shoes. She looked to be about Tails age, maybe a little younger.
Eggman walked up to Tails and smiled maliciously, "You're probably wondering what this girl is doing here, well allow me to explain. She is a normal girl and I would like to see what would happened if I transfered your blood into her body. Would she become part fox as well? Will she stay human? The suspense is killing me."
Tails started to struggle against the leather straps holding him to the bed. He knew Eggman was crazy but at the moment he was less insane and more so psychotic. Doing something to him was one thing but this was an innocent human being, granted he was too but he didn't want anyone to suffer like he had.
"Don't act so upset. If this experiment works you'll have a new friend,"Eggman said with a smirk.
"Why are you doing this? What did that girl ever do to you?" Tails demanded to know.
"Oh Tails, sometimes things must sacrificed in the name of science," Eggman walked over to Tails holding a syringe, "And if that thing needs to be the life of a little girl or little boy, then so be it," He said as he inserted the suringe into tails pumping his veins full of a mysterious substance.
Tails suddenly felt very sleepy and he was having a hard time keeping his eyes open. He fought to stay awake but it proved to be a losing battle. Once he was asleep Eggman attached Tails's to to a tube attached the the container with a needle. He watched with a sick sort of glee as the blood from Tails's body left through the tube and was deposited into the containers.
"Sir, we have a problem," Said a robot when it entered the room.
Suddenly the door slammed opened revealing Blaze who trying to make her way towards Eggman as two robots were barely able to hold her back.
"Blaze, good to see you," Eggman greeted with a smile.
"Doctor Robotnik, please I beg you, leave my sister out of this!" Blaze begged.
"Hm? Now why should I do that? After all, I need someone to run my experiment on."
"Doctor Robotnik, please! You promised you wouldn't harm them if I did what you sa-"
"And I'm not harming them, I'm just using the youngest one for my experiment."
"Doctor ,Marine is just a child! If you need to do this experiment than use me as your test subject instead!" Blaze pleaded as the desperation in her eyes continued to grow.
"Why, I can't do that. Your blood type doesn't match with Tails therefore I can't use you for the experiment."
Blaze couldn't believe her ears. She did everything he said yet this was still happening. Throwing her pride out the window she let tears freely cascade down her face. No, she had to be strong. She forced out a whimper of defiance in a attempt to bargain for her sisters livelihood one last time.
"But-"
"Silence! You should be grateful I'm only using one of your sisters and not both of them! Robots, take her away!" Eggman ordered.
Blaze watch the image of her unconscious little sister as the robots pulled her farther and farther away. She reached out a hand in a futile attempt to grab at her. They dropped Blaze on the floor before going back to their duty of guarding the door. When she was let go of Blaze fell to her hands and knees on the floor. Silver, who had been standing outside the door waiting for Blaze to come out placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Blaze-"
"This shouldn't have happened."
"Wh-what?" Silver asked in confusion.
"None of this should have happened. When I was offered the chance to enhance this power I was born with I should have known it was too good to be true!" Blaze yelled as she punched the ground in frustration, leaving a small dent.
Silver watched Blaze with sad eyes not knowing what to do. It hurt, seeing his best friend in so much pain. He may have been telekinetic but he was powerless the help her, and he hated himself for it.
Suddenly they heard an alarm start to go off as a robot zoomed into the room Marine, Tails and Eggman were in.
"Whats going on!" Silver yelled, clearly startled by the loud noise.
"The alarm means there's an intruder," Blaze responded as she wiped away her tears and stood up.
"An intruder! In space?!" Silver asked in disbelief.
"We need to get to our stations," Blaze said before running off. As she was just about to leave Silver grabbed her wrist.
"Hey, are you gonna be okay?" He asked.
The purple haired teen kept her back towards him as she answered, "...No…" She broke away from his grip and ran off. Silver watched her as she ran off. He wanted to go after her but he knew what would happen if he didn't get to his station. With one last glance is Blazes direction Silver ran off.
Eggman rolled his eyes as Blaze was dragged out of the room. Honestly kids these days, they were so emotional. He turned his attention back to the containers as more and more of the 8 year old's blood left his body and went into the container. He only needed 4...maybe 5 pints of it. Then he could work on putting that blood into Marine's body and seeing if she grew fox tail with a match pair of ears.
Suddenly he heard the alarm go off and not long after one of his robots entering.
"Sir, there appears to be an intruder."
"An intruder? But how? Not even G.U.N knows of my existence up here. Well no matter, I must make sure they are dealt with.," Eggman ordered as he pushed a button, before leaving.
The blood the was traveling through a tube into a container suddenly slowed down before stopping completely.
"Yes sir."
Eggman left the room ready to deal with whatever annoyance was interrupting his work Little did he know this "annoyance" was much more than just that.
"Whoa! Hey Cream check this out! I think I can see Mars from here!" Charmy exclaimed.
"Cool!" Cream replied as her and the skater crowded near the same window.
"You two better sit down before you hurt yourselves," Amy warned.
Sonic watched from the back window as Earth got farther and farther away. Knuckles noticed Sonic in his pensive state and decided to approach him.
"Hey man, penny for your thoughts," Knuckles said as he walked over towards Sonic.
The blue haired teen shrugged, "It's just a lot to take in. I mean, not even that long ago I was working at my old shitty job trying to raise Tails. Now I'm in outer space getting ready to fight the battle of my life for him."
"It's weird isn't it. It feels like just yesterday we were kids. Without a care in the world."
A small smile formed on Sonic's lips, "Yeah. Remember that time when we were in the woods and Tails got stuck in a really high tree?"
Knuckles mirrored Sonics smile, "Yeah and I told him that if he didn't get down from there I'd kick his scrawny butt off the tree."
Sonic let out a smile laugh, "Yeah and then he said-"
"Your such a butt-face," The two teenage boys chorused before laughing.
"Uh, guys, I think we're here," Espio said from his captain seat.
Everyone rushed towards the front of the spaceship to stare at the space base that their little friend was being held captive in. It was a grey spherical mass of metal with what appeared the be a face with a mustache on it.
"Gee, what gave it away," Vector said in a flat tone.
"I had no idea someone could be so egocentric that they'd put their own facial features on a base," Amy observed whilst crossing her arms.
"You guys might want to sit down. I'm initiating the landing in less than a minute."
Once everyone got settled in Espio flew the ship around the base until he saw a small tunnel. He flew into the tunnel and an automatic door opened leading to a garage like area. Espio landed the ship and let of a sigh of relief.
"Good job Espio," Charmy said.
Espio smiled, "All in a day's work."
Sonic, Rouge, Amy, Knuckles, Espio and Vector got off the ship. When Charmy and Cream went to leave Vector stopped them.
"Oh no, you two are staying here."
"But Vector-" Charmy started only for Vector to interrupt him.
"No buts. You guys aren't the best fighters and you'll only get in the way."
Amy sent Vector a dirty look before speaking, "What he's trying to say is that the best way you guys can help us is to stay put until we get back, okay?"
"But Amy-" Cream started only to be interrupted.
"No buts."
"Okay," The 1st grader said in a sad tone.
Amy nodded and turned her attention over to Charmy, waiting for his answer,
"Yeah, sure, whatever," He muttered crossing his arms with a pout.
Amy smiled sweetly and walked back over to Sonic and the others, "So, what's the plan?"
"I'm gonna run inside as fast as I can with Knuckles and look for Tails. Amy, you go with Rouge and see if you can find where Eggman might be hiding. Vector, Espio you guys destroy any bots you see, got it?"
Espio nodded while Vector exclaimed, "You got it!"
"Alright then. Ready Knuckle head?"
Knuckles smirked, "Keep calling me that and Eggman's face won't be the only thing I smash in."
Sonic smirked right back before grabbing Knuckles wrist and zooming in. Just then an alarm started to go off.
"Oh no! Sonic! Knuckles!" Amy yelled as the four ran after the speedster. When they got inside they saw a sea of robots.
"There are too many robots! I don't think we'll ever find them!" Vector commented.
"Oh yes we will!" Amy exclaimed pulling her piko piko hammer out of nowhere. With a single swing she decimated 3 robots.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Vector asked before he too, along with Espio and Rouge started destroying bots.
Amy ducked as a robot swung its limb at her before she hit it with her hammer. She heard what sounded like metal being sliced though and turned around. She saw a spiky ball slice through 3 robots before it unfurled revealing itself to be the blue haired teen she had been looking for.
"Sonic you're okay!" She exclaimed.
Sonic looked at Amy and smiled only for it drop, "Amy look-"
Before he could finish the sentence without taking her eyes off of Sonic the pink haired girl smashed the robot that was coming up behind her with her hammer.
"...out…"
Sonic stared at Amy for a moment. He opened his mouth to ask how she did that when but he was cut off by Knuckles.
"You guys! I could use a little help here!"
The two looked over to see knuckles being surrounded by 4 robots, one of which had his fist going through it. Amy took care of one robot while Sonic took care of one and Knuckles took care of the remains. After 5 more minutes the 6 teens stood among the floor that was now littered with robot scraps and various small forest animals running around.
"Where did all these critters come from?" Amy asked as she moved out of the way as a squirrel ran by her.
"We can swap theories later. Right now we gotta focus on finding Tails," Knuckles said.
Suddenly more robots started to enter.
"There's more, ugh!" Amy groaned.
"Well what did you expect? The man has a PHD in robotics," Rouge explained whipping out the laser gun she'd used to fight the last batch not too long ago.
"We'll hold the robots off, you two look for Tails," Espio ordered.
"Got it, let's go Sonic," Knuckles said.
"Just make sure you don't end up squashing any critters," Sonic said before grabbing Knuckles wrist and zooming away.
