Tails approached the hedgehog he had once called his hero. Sonic was not a hero. He never was.

Now Sonic stood at the edge of Angel Island, his back turned towards Tails. Tails nervously gazed at the monstrous sized canon that sonic stroked. Hesitantly Tails stepped back. He changed his mind; he wanted to leave.

"Why bother leaving, Miles?" Sonic's dry voice slowly mixed into the tense air. "You're already here. Why not wait and watch my victory over Eggman?"

"Sonic…"Tails turned his eyes from the master emerald which sat in its rightful place to the many chocolate covered chaos emeralds that lay in a nice shiny pink box with tissue paper wrapping and all. "I think you need to think this through again. Please don't hurt yourself. Knuckles-"

"Knuckles!" Sonic turned his face towards the little fox, his eyebrows furrowed with wrath. "That knuckle-head has nothing to do with either of us any longer!"

Tails thought back to what had happened.

*flashback to about, I'm gonna say two days ago….*

Floods of rain drops showered against Tails' face. He was walking home from Knuckles' home. When he got there he found an unconscious Knuckles and Amy at his doorstep. What had happened? Why did they look so miserable? Tails would soon learn that Knuckles had attempted to stop Sonic from creating his horrible weapon, but failed miserably and lost his house in the process. The only place Knuckles knew to turn to was the shelter of Tails' home.

What should Tails do? Why had Sonic gone so bonkers? Tails just did not know. Tails would soon learn that Sonic wanted revenge on Eggman. He wanted to destroy everything Eggman had ever been part of. That meant, he was going to destroy the world.

*Well, gee, I guess the flashback ended a few sentences ago.*

"You're wrong, Sonic." Tails argued with Sonic's earlier statement. "You no longer have anything to do with me, Knuckles, or Amy."

Sonic's pupils narrowed, as he howled out angrily. Tails knew if he did not leave now, he would surely be destroyed. But how could he escape an animal that could run as fast as tails could blink? He leapt into the air to fly to safety. It was hopeless. Instantly Sonic's fist landed against the back of his head. The world swirled and twirled into blackness. Tails fell unconscious onto the ground.

"I'm sorry young friend, you are no longer free to make those sorts of choices. You are no longer free to leave." Sonic quickly dashed away to put Tails into his dungeon of prisoners. Tails was one of many that he had collected. Who would kick Sonic's but now?
