Chapter 1:
The heart can bleed, and a lot…
In the home of Sonic and co, you could say that there was an air of peace for the most part. Eggman wasn't doing anything. It seemed as if he was having a severe case of evil genius block. Until it was gone, Sonic would be extremely bored. And I mean extremely bored. That blue hedgehog hated doing anything that has to do with nothing.
On the other hand, his sidekick wasn't bored at all. It's hard to say you're bored of mourning over someone, and in fact, it's not boring. Let your heart bleed until you can take no more, and that is exactly what Tails was doing. If you don't know what it feels like to have something in your heart killed, think of being stabbed fifty times with a sword, then think of having both your arms sliced off by a lightsaber, plus add the addition horror of an airplane crashing right into you. It's a wonder suicide hasn't come in his head yet.
"Why?" He asked himself. He must have at least asked himself this question at least fifty million times. The majority of his grief had been spilled the last two months. He was taking a walk in the park, but that never helped. Sometimes Amy and Cream would bring him treats, but that never helped. Sometimes Knuckles (reluctantly, usually from pressure by Amy and Cream) came and tried to make him feel better.
Of course Sonic was always trying to cheer up his friend, and sometimes he feared that this would leave an eternal scar on him, forever making his life a lamenting walk, or worse an eternal elegy (A song of great pain and sorrow, and I mean to an extreme.) Yet oddly enough, there was some excitement on that face of his.
"Guess what, Tails!" Sonic yelled to him. "Some action has happened!" Tails didn't need to think twice on what he meant. Something bad happened and they needed a hero to save them. Of course, Sonic may just go without all of his friends, but he would almost certainly ask his sidekick. Tails couldn't just mope forever. Maybe this was a chance to make him feel better, by doing something right… for once.
"The strange thing is that it is not Eggman. Some robbers have made off with this legendary soul diamond or something. Doesn't seem to have power like the chaos emeralds, but hey, forget power. We've got some action! Want to come? Knuckles is going too!"
Tails nodded, relieved at a brake from his grief. Sonic looked pleased at his decision. Knuckles ran toward them. "So are you guys coming or what. It's about time these fists get something to hit."
