Hey guys this is SteelWingAngel with the next chapter for The Demon and a Bird. So, I made some free time for myself and thought I could make the next chapter for this. I'm also thinking of doing another story after this one and thank you guys for the support, I mean I know it's not much but it's enough to help me keep writing. Well, enough chit chatting, let's get on with the next chapter.
Asking for Forgiveness
Sonic and Tails have reached Metropolis city where at the means to deal with Mephiles. Tails still wondering what he just saw at the screen right before they left landed the X-Tornado at a nearby parking lot hoping not to get another ticket for a No Parking Zone again. "C'mon Tails let's hurry before Mephiles starts any kind of trouble again" Said Sonic as he was practicing his fighting moves. "Okay I'm coming jeez." said Tails while rolling his eyes. While in Mephiles part, both he and Cerus were still relaxing under the shade with their eyes closed. "Ah, such a beautiful day today, right Cerus?" Mephiles said with a smile. Cerus chirped back for an agreeable response. "Well, time to go find out about my past before the day ends." Mephiles stood up stretching his body high and Cerus was stretching as well only with his wings. "How about we start by asking questions around the city, someone here probably knows who I am right?" Cerus nodded but as they exit toward the gate Mephiles was knocked at his back and flew against the tree. "Ow, what the hell was that?" Mephiles shouted. Cerus quickly flew to his side landing on the injured hedgehog. Sonic quickly stood a few feet in front of him. "So you came back huh, probably trying to think of a plane to get revenge on me." Sonic said with a grin on his face. "What, what are you taking about I don't even know you!" Mephiles shouted back with anger. "Whatever Mephiles, I'm not buying that act so get ready to be pummeled back where you're supposed to belong." Tails that was finally catching up to Sonic was in shock to see Mephiles again. "So he is back." mumbled Tails who was still in shock. "What are you two talking about, wait a minute back again, did I go somewhere, well whatever it is, these two might know who I am and what happened to me." Mephiles said in his mind. "Cerus, I want you to stay back; things might get a little dangerous okay?" The little bird nodded and flew up high into the tree. Mephiles started to slowly put his hands up. "What is he playing?" asked Tails a little confused about this. "I have no idea Tails but I know it's not good." said Sonic as he was still in his fighting stance. "Listen, I don't want any trouble, I just want to ask a few questions and I'll be on my way." Mephiles said slowly walking his way to Sonic. "I told you again Mephiles I don't buy your act. Knowing you, you always are looking for trouble." said Sonic battle ready at whatever it is that's coming to him. "I think he's telling the truth Sonic, he doesn't look like he's lying." "C'mon Tails, don't fall for that, you know Mephiles ready to attack when his evil plans are complete and this might be one of them!" Sonic said with an angry tone. "Wait, did he just say evil plans, am I some sort of villain? Said Mephiles questioning himself. Tails wanted to tell sonic about what he saw at the screen but didn't know how to explain it. "Please, we can all work this out." said Mephiles in a surprisingly calm tone. "Hold it there, take one more step and your dead meat." warned Sonic. "But sonic, something in my gut says we can trust him and I know that sounds crazy but you know that my gut feeling is never wrong, why do you think I complete almost all my inventions, we should trust him." "Yes, please I just want some awns-. But before Mephiles could finish his sentence, his hands seemed to start glowing. "Huh, what is this?" Then all of a sudden his hands shot out an energy ball at Tails. "Tails look out!" screamed Sonic. Tails was too shocked to move and the ball was too fast. Luckily Sonic pushed Tails in time before the ball could make hit. The energy ball instead hit the gate making it look like it melted in half. Mephiles was shocked at what he just done, he's eyes widened in surprise. "What did I just do?" Mephiles kept repeating that line. Cerus who was also shocked flew quickly to Mephiles to see if he was okay. "Did you just see that, I shot that thing out of my hands what am I?" Sonic who was on Tails got off of him and looked at the half melted gate then glared back at Mephiles? He helped Tails get up then shouted at him. "I'll know what you are; you're a monster, a freak! Your one of the reasons this world could never find peace. See Tails, what I said he was fooling us all along. Tails didn't say a word; he was just looking at Mephiles with fear in his eyes. "No, I didn't mean to; it was an accident!" shouted Mephiles with hurt in his voice. "What are you talking about; did you see what you just did! You blasted a deadly energy ball at my best friend, now stop lying to us and get ready because I'm about to come at you. "Wait; no please stop I didn't want any of this. Before Mephiles could explain Sonic kicked him and spin dashed him midair. Mephiles hit the dirt head on and covered his stomach with his hands. "Please stop, I didn't want any of this." cried Mephiles. "Well too, bad because you're about to get some of it. Sonic who was blinded by anger then repeatedly kick Mephiles in the stomach a few times. Mephiles was close to breaking into tears. "Sonic, I think he had enough!" Tails screamed as he pulled Sonic away from Mephiles. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Mephiles kept repeating in a tearing voice. Sonic then stop glaring at him and took a second at what he had done. People around them started to stare at them with fear and confusion in their eyes. They started whispering to each other and slowly backed away from the blue hero. Sonic then looked at Mephiles with tears running through injured hedgehog face. Cerus quickly bolted and pecked Sonic in the head a few times then flew close to Mephiles face. "Ow!" flinch Sonic. Cerus checked and was shocked to see his friend tears all over his face. Sonic's anger immediately disappeared when he noticed what he had just done. "Oh my God." Whispered Sonic." I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean it like this." He kneeled down in front of Mephiles offering his hand. "Look, I'm sorry for what I did it wasn't supposed to happen like this. C'mon, we'll help patch you in Tails house okay?" Cerus was about to peck his hand until he felt a something grab his wing. Mephiles looked at Cerus and nodded. Cerus nodded back as to say let him. Mephiles hesitantly grabbed Sonic's hand and was pulled up. Sonic called Tails over to help Mephiles get on their plane. They took off with the little blue bird not so far flying with the plane. Mephiles still felt some pain on his stomach and back. "Hey; you okay there?" Sonic said with worry. "Nah, its fine just some bruises." Mephiles said back. "Look, sorry again for hitting you and claiming out that stuff, I was just upset. "Well, it's okay; it was all just a simple misunderstanding. The plane landed right next to Tails garage. Both friends help Mephiles out of the plane and into the house. As he went inside, he saw the walls covered with light yellow wallpaper. They set him on the couch slowly trying to avoid injuring any further. Tails went to go get the medical kit he had in his room. "So, you really lost your memory huh?" Sonic questioned. "Yah, I don't seem to recall anything. I woke up in the forest and ended up here, strange stuff has been going on." Sighed Mephiles. The only person who has been friends with me is Cerus." "Cerus is he that little bird that keeps following you around?" asked Sonic. "Yeah, found him being picked on by some ravens in the woods. Been my friend ever since I saved him and his friends. "Heh, he's kind of cute." Sonic said as he rubbed the bird with his finger under the little one's neck. Cerus chirped in a happy tone. He flew up and rubbed his head against Sonic's cheeks. Sonic giggled at the show of affection. "I think he likes you." said Mephiles. "I'm back!" said Tails carrying the medical kit. "Now hold still while I tend your bruises." Sonic saw one of Mephiles bruises and felt bad for doing something so bad to someone who didn't even deserve. Well at the time he didn't deserve. Mephiles flinched when Tails put an ice pack on him. "It's okay; the ice we'll reduce the swelling." Directed Tails. "So, do you remember anything now?" asked Tails. Mephiles was thinking in his head. "Nope, nothing the only thing I remember was waking up in the woods and I don't know anything before that. "Hm, come downstairs to my lab; sonic you can help me tend with him. Sonic nodded and helped Mephiles towards the lab. Little Cerus followed them to the lab. "What are you going to do Tails?" asked Sonic. "I'm going to try and get his memory back."
