Chapter 6

It was all over the news. The death of a convicted murder and the details. As Eggman stared at his screen in disbelief, Sonic and Amy nodded. Tails was busy with a camera, developing pictures he took of the gravesite.

"In two hours, the photos should be ready to go. I still can't believe the police didn't listen and there have already been a few deaths..." he muttered.

"That's how stupid humans can be," Sonic responded.

"Hrmph." Eggman made a face. Sonic turned on him, eyes showing anger. "Don't 'hrmph' at me, Doc. This was all your fault for creating this monster and the deaths of so many people. You can't say anything about humans not being stupid, even if you are one."

"Sonic..." Amy said, softly. "Don't. It was an accident. If we want to get rid of this, we have to work together," she said in a low voice.

Sonic grumbled to himself, but Tails walked over. "Eggman, how did you create it, anyway?"

Eggman paled. "I...I didn't...for the most part."

All eyes turned on the fat doctor and he flushed. "I recieved him from a mysterious person a few days before I learned where the chaos emeralds were. The person said that it was a doll with great power, but I had to be careful of it. The person said that a kitsune's prowess was not to be underestimated and that was why they modeled the doll after one. They put two tails on it, as a symbol of its power, but according to old folklores, the more tails it has, the more power. Why it only has two tails, I don't know. Maybe they didn't want to give it too much power.

"Anyway, it looked like you, Tails, so I named it the Tails Doll. I put the gem on it, so I could start testing it and it was fantastic. I didn't know how...evil it was, though..." Eggman drifted off into mumbles.

"Great, so now we don't know any of its weaknesses. It was given by some weird person..." Sonic groaned.

"Well...Like Knuckles said, we should use the Chaos Emeralds and defeat him...remember when we beat Perfect Chaos? You used the POSITIVE power of the emeralds. Maybe we can neutrelize Tails Doll with the power and turn him into a lifeless doll," Tails said.

"That's actually a good idea...what do you think, Sonic?" Amy asked him.

"Like we have any other choice. I guess we should find the emeralds...where are they at, anyway?" Sonic asked.

"There's two at my workshop..." Tails offered.

"One is in my apartment," Amy said.

Eggman grunted. "Unfortunately, GUN has the other ones. We're going to have to ask GUN themselves or a thief for them..."

"Then let's just ask Shadow and Rouge," Sonic interrupted. "They're GUN agents, and our friends. Once they know about the trouble the city is in with Tails Doll awake, I'm sure both of them will help us out."

"Good point. Let's go call call them," Amy said, turning around and leaving Eggman's base.

"Let me get this straight," Rouge said into her cellphone. "You want me to get the other four emeralds so we can destroy some killing doll?"

"Yeah, that's right. Rouge, you weren't there, but...the Tails Doll is a very deadly thing. It's a soul stealing demon!" Amy said, putting a lot of emphasize on the statement. She knew Rouge would have a hard time believing her, but Rouge and Shadow were their only hope for getting the rest of the emeralds.

Rouge snorted. "Honey, if I was inclined to believe a doll could steal souls, my Barbies would have killed me when I was five."

"I'm serious. Please, Rouge. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm absolutely 100 percent telling the truth. You haven't seen all the unsolved deaths lately? Those were all committed by him," Amy said in a begging tone.

"I know they're unsolved. GUN's on the trail right now," Rouge snapped. "Listen, I have to get back to work. I'm on the trail business. I'll give you a call and show you it's not some stupid doll doing this," Rouge added, snapping her phone shut.

Amy stared at her pink phone angrily. Slamming it down, she went to grab a bathrobe and stomped to the bathroom. Maybe a nice, hot shower would calm her down...

But when she turned on the water to test the temperature, she screamed.

Instead of water coming out, it was blood.

The door suddenly slammed and locked itself. Steam began enveloping the room. Amy tried to shut off the...water...but the knobs were stuck. She coughed and reached for her Piko Piko Hammer. She just had to get out!

"This is my last hope..." she whispered, breaking her door down.

"FOOL!"

Not bothering to look back, Amy pulled her dress back on and ran out of her apartment. Suddenly, she felt a stinging sharp pain in her back. Weakly, she reached back and immediately paled. There was a knife in her back.

"YOU WON'T ESCAPE ALIVE! ANYONE WHO DARES GO AGAINST THE TAILS DOLL WILL ONLY END UP DEAD!!"

"I'm not giving up..." Amy coughed. Thankfully, the knife wasn't very deep in her, but it was still critical. She rushed downstairs and pounded on the Landlord's door.

"SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME!!"

The door flung open, but it wasn't opened by who she was expecting.

The Tails Doll stood there, staring at her with his cold, blank eyes.

And he held something in his hands...

The landlord's head.

Amy didn't stop to think. She swung her Piko Piko Hammer at him, and knocked him down. Seeing a wooden board nearby, she slammed the door and placed the board underneath it to prevent him from opening it and coming out.

"YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET OUT ALIVE!!"

"Gotta think like a survivor girl...gotta think like a survivor girl..." Amy panted. Her next idea was to run to Sonic and Tails' place, but she didn't want to put them in danger. This knife in her back was becoming a pain...litterally.

"Hospital..." she coughed, seeing blood splatter out of her mouth. She dialed 9-1-1 and fainted dead away.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Celestia was walking past the apartment buildings of town when she saw the ambulences near a particular one. She also noticed Sonic the hedgehog and Miles Prower answering some questions to the police.

"...No, she lives alone. We're only a few of her friends she talks to..."

"She's fourteen...just tell us, is she going to be alright??"

"Yes, she'll be fine...and it looks like I owe you kids an apology...we found orange stuffing in the landlord's apartment...proof it was the Tails Doll."

Celestia stopped in her tracks. "Shit."

Ooooo...

Sorry for the EXTREME lateness. College planning, you know?
