Chapter Eighteen: We'll Die Trying
Everyone looked on towards Infinite's super form. Everyone was terrified, except for Tails. He was the only one who was determined to fight. Although everyone else looked on towards Tails in worry.
"Tails, please!" Amy pleaded.
"There is no need!" Rouge added.
"Please, think about what you're doing here!" Cream sobbed, as tears fell from her eyes.
"Tails, I don't even know if we have a chance here!" Knuckles told him.
"I admire your bravery, Tails, but please think about this!" Shadow also said.
"Tails, if this is you trying to prove a point that you're not weak, you have already made your point! This is something we have never encountered before!" Sonic tried explaining.
"Even I have to admit, Tails, you are not as weak as I thought you once were. You actually have a spine. Pity the decision you've picked to act tough is the wrong place and the wrong time. You will NEVER be able to defeat me, whether you're the strongest or not!" Infinite chuckles.
"This has nothing to do with proving how tough I can be, Infinite! You may be the strongest right now, and I can see that, but there is no way in hell that I will just sit around anymore, and let shit like this happen anymore! At least if I fight with you, and die during this battle, at least I can die with dignity, and say that I have died trying!" Tails snarled at him. Infinite chuckles.
"I was wrong about you indeed, Tails. You are giving an effort to fight, while your friends act like they don't care, and chose not to fight. But you, Tails, you are indeed a little fighter." Infinite complimented, and again chuckles evilly.
The woken look on with fear, and so does Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow. But Tails was the only one who stepped up towards Infinite.
.
(Sonic singing)
I think it's time for us to go now
We've done more harm than good
If we could change how this'll turn out
You know that we would
.
Tails turned and looks at Sonic with determination in his eyes. He was showing that he was not joking around about fighting. Sonic gasped in shock.
.
(Tails singing)
Sometimes this weight is more than I could hold
I'd rather fail then, not know
.
Tails then turns back, and spins his twin tails, and flies towards Infinite. He then trades in punches and kicks towards Infinite, even if Infinite dodges every single time.
"Tails, NOOOO!" Sonic panicked.
.
(Tails singing)
If this takes forever, I will die trying
If this takes forever, I will die trying
I will die trying
.
"Fuck this shit, I can't let Tails do this on his own!" Sonic yelled, as he also joins in on the fight.
"Sonic, come back!" Shadow exclaimed in fear.
.
(Shadow singing)
I wish I'd known then what I've known now
But it'd probably be the same, yeah
I have a feeling it's planned out
From this cradle to the grave
.
Knuckles then stepped forward, and made his way closer to the fight.
"We made an agreement, Shadow. No more acting cowardly, we need to go help them now!" Knuckles demanded, as he glides towards the fight.
.
(Knuckles singing)
Sometimes this weight is more than I could hold
But I'd rather fail then never really know
.
Shadow couldn't argue anymore, and decides to jump into the fight. Tails was trying to use tail whips, Sonic tried kicks, Knuckles tried punching, and even Shadow tried using Chaos Spear, but nothing seems to work.
The girls feared for the men as they decided to go on and fight Infinite.
.
(Tails singing)
If this takes forever, I will die trying
If this takes forever, I will die trying
I will die trying
.
Infinite grew bored, and he then punches Shadow in the stomach, and he falls to the ground. He then headbutts Knuckles, and he also falls to the ground. Then turns his attention to Sonic, and performs a roundhouse kick to his head and knocks him to the ground also. And lastly, he uses the side of his hand and chops Tails on his cranium, and knocks him to the ground.
The four guys then sat up, and look on towards Infinite.
.
(Knuckles singing)
I'm now digging a hole
(Shadow singing)
I'm now taking it all
(Sonic singing)
I'm now digging a hole to bury my soul
I'm now digging
.
Tails then stands up, and looks determined towards Infinite.
.
(Tails singing)
If this takes forever, I will die trying
.
All the guys then stood up, and they all nod in agreement. They all charge towards Infinite again to plan their attacks against Infinite.
.
(Sonic singing)
If it takes forever I will die trying
(Knuckles singing)
If it takes forever I will die trying
.
Shadow starts to charge Chaos Blast, and a dark red aura begins to surround him.
"Guys, girls, take cover, NOW!" Shadow warns.
Everyone agrees, and took cover. Shadow keeps on charging his energy, but Infinite just chuckles.
.
(Shadow singing, Tails improvising)
If it takes forever I will die trying (Forever, I will die trying)
(Sonic, Knuckles and Shadow singing, Tails improvising)
If it takes forever I will die trying (Forever, forever)
I will die trying
.
"CHAOS... BLAAAAAAAAAAAST!" Shadow yelled.
A huge explosion happens, and the trees around them caught fire, and multiple rocks exploded on impact. Everyone else ducks for cover.
.
(Tails singing)
Trying
.
After Shadow set off the explosion using Chaos Blast, he then went to check on everyone else.
"Is everyone OK?!" Shadow called.
"We're all safe, Shadow!" Sonic replied.
"I am also OK, Shadow." Infinite laughs through the smoke.
Everyone gasped. Nobody could have ever survived that attack.
"No way!" Shadow feared.
Infinite then charges towards each of the guys, and beats every single one of them into a pulp. The four were bruised and battered, with loads of cuts, and blood pouring from their cuts. The girls watched on in fear, knowing there was nothing they could do about this.
