Oh Bloody Hell

Tails ran flew faster in an attempt to catch up with Cream, all the while, Cheese was just hanging on to his backpack catching a ride.

"Cream! Please stop! Where are you going?" he yelled but the young rabbit didn't respond. Tails sped up and reached out in front of him in an attempt to grab onto her leg, but he wasn't paying attention as Cream swerved around a pole and kept going. Unfortunately for Tails, he should have zigged when he zagged. The poor kitsune slammed straight into the pole and fell to the ground, accidentally landing on Cheese.

"Chao! Chao! CHAO!" the blue creature screamed and struggled under Tails, desperately trying to get some air. Tails however, was out cold.

Amy, Cream, and Rouge kept on their destined routes as each headed towards the school subconsciously. All three leaving a colored streak behind them as they kept up their unachievable speeds. Without knowing, they were drawing closer to each other until they collided together in front of the main entrance to Independent High. A huge blast of air engulfed the area as their speed caught up with them.

Knuckles, whom had arrived almost as fast as Rouge, witnessed this and had to hold on to an electric pole so as to avoid being blown away. When the wind died down he saw that Rouge wasn't hurt, but actually just floating in mid-air along with two other beings he didn't recognize. They all mumbled something he couldn't understand and descended to the ground slowly. (A/N except for Amy who ran all the way there) The mysterious glows faded from their eyes and they returned to normal for the time being. What surprised Knuckles was that they erupted in squeals and hugged each other as if they were little school girls. 'What the heezy?' he thought to himself and approached them cautiously.

Rouge's hearing picked up on him right away and she turned around with a big smile on her face.

"Knuckles, old buddy old bastard, did you have fun keeping up?" she asked as her smile turned into a wicked sneer. The echidna fumed with anger.

"Why you lousy-ass bat! I oughta-,"

"Oh, these are my friends, Knuckie," Rouge said happily, completely ignoring the echidna. Needless to say Knuckles was pissed but then stopped to wonder how she could have any friends on this planet in the first place.

"Hold on, if you came from the stars then how do you know them? And what was all that mach 5 flying? And what was with all the wind? What the hell is going on around here?" he yelled all in one breath, then stopped to take a quick breath. Rouge smirked at his blunt nature.

"Okay, okay breathe. Well these two are just like me, meaning we all come from the stars. Also I started flying uncontrollably because we came within 300 meters of each other. Think of it like a homing beacon or something along those lines. It's a way for us to find each other, should we ever be separated. The wind was just turbulence that caught up with us when we stopped suddenly, and if you can't figure out what's going on by now then you're dumber than I thought."

Knuckles growled and looked over at Cream and Amy who stoop there smiling and waving shyly. He eased up a little seeing as they couldn't be as troublesome as Rouge by the looks on their faces. He sighed and ran a hand through his dreadlocks.

"So what? You guys don't plan to just move in and take over my house like Rouge did, do you?" Rouge scowled at this comment. Cream and Amy giggled at her reaction.

"No, we already have our masters that we need to take care of and…wait a minute. Where did Sonic go anyway?" Amy asked looking back the way she came and seeing no sign of the cobalt hero. Knuckles almost burst out laughing.

"Sonic is your master? Master? Haha…wait, Rouge what the hell? Why don't you refer to me as your master, huh?" he asked a little miffed that she had forgotten that oh so beautiful detail. Rouge just shifted her weight onto her other leg and sighed.

"I don't feel like calling you 'master' because that would mean that I admit to you being higher in stature than me. I prefer to be seen as an equal, thank you very much." Knuckles was shocked at her response and smirked.

"Well, it looks like you have an actual thoughtful bone in that body of yours," Rouge blushed and turned away trying to ignore his comment. Knuckles just ignored her and looked back in the direction Amy came from. He soon began to see a blue figure coming into view. Judging by the size of the dust cloud trailing behind it, he figured it must be Sonic. "Hey, I think Sonic is coming right now."

Amy turned around and jumped for joy as the cobalt hedgehog skidded to a stop just a few feet in front of her. She fan to him and glomped him causing the poor hedgie to fall over backwards.

"Sonic!" she screamed with joy while cuddling him in her arms. "I'm sooo sorry I took off like that all of a sudden! It was a whole star thing, I promise I'll make it up to you so don't be mad okay?" she pleaded and was shocked when Sonic pulled her closer to him, making her blush at such close contact. "Sonic?" she asked and pulled away a little to look at his face. He looked…pale. "Are you alright? You don't look, too, hot there." Sonic gave her a lopsided grin before nearly passing out on the ground under her. "Holy cow, Sonic! Are you okay? Speak to me, say something! Are you having some kind of death threat? Oh no, are you going to die? Is this something all Mobians go through? Dear God, are you CONSTIPATED?" she shrieked and shook the blue one violently.

Knuckles doubled over in laughter, but Rouge and Cream didn't see what was so funny. They were both equally worried. I mean wouldn't you be, too, if you thought one of the people meant to save the world was going to die from constipation? Sonic desperately tried to get Amy to stop shaking him as he was trying to speak.

"A-Amy! A-A-Amy let go, damnit!" he chuckled and managed to pry her hands from around his neck. Amy gasped in shock and hugged him out of pure joy.

"Oh Sonic, I'm so glad you're okay! I was afraid you were going to get constipated to the point where you would blow up and die!" She wailed into his shirt. Sonic and Knuckles sweat dropped and could barely contain their laughter.

"What the hell?" Sonic muttered incredulously and began to get up. Knuckles was still cracking up.

"Hahahahahahaha! What kind of logic is that? Blowing up from constipation? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard of!" he laughed until Rouge smacked him a hard one on the head. The echidna cringed and glared at the evil bat. "What the hell was that for?"

"It's not funny! Where we come from, constipation is the leading cause of death on our planet. That, and old age." Rouge said and crossed her arms in annoyance. Knuckles thought about it for a moment, and still found the idea hilarious but didn't want to hurt their feelings so he kept his laughter to himself.

"Sorry," he muttered and turned back to Sonic and the one that was apparently referred to as, Amy.

"I'm fine Amy I was just a little freaked out when you almost ran head-on into an on-coming truck. I almost had a heart attack, don't do that anymore, woman!" the blue hedgie breathed and placed a hand on her head lightly. Amy got teary- eyed and beamed up at him.

"Oh Sonic, you were worried about me?" she asked happily. Sonic blushed and stuttered as Knuckles made kissing noises in the background, which earned him a hit on the head from Rouge.

Cream, who had been mostly quiet during all the excitement, suddenly got a look of realization on her face and she started running in the direction that she came from.

"Oh no I totally forgot about poor Tails!" she yelled while running off.

"Tails, too?" Knuckles and Sonic yelled simultaneously in disbelief.

Cream kept going but stopped suddenly when she saw Cheese using every ounce of strength he had to haul an unconscious Tails in the direction Cream had flown.

"Cheese! Tails!" the young rabbit called and ran towards the two. Cheese collapsed on the ground from exhaustion as soon as he saw Cream headed their way. Tails twitched a little and attempted to sit up. It was all Knuckles and Sonic could do to hold in their laughter upon seeing a red mark trailing all the way down the front of his face. Cream rushed to the kitsune's side and checked him for injury. He informed her that he was fine with only a slight headache.

"Oh Tails I'm so sorry for flying off like that! I'll explain to you later, why I did it but until then I just want to know if you're okay?"

"Haha, I'm fine Cream. I've been hurt worse than this before." He smiled and stood up shakily while rubbing his forehead to get rid of the pain.

"Let me see," Cream offered and removed his hand to examine his face. Tails blushed at the close contact but didn't move away. It was such a touching moment that made the other four smile at their innocence. Until the moment was ruined by the yelling of a certain female fox.

"What the hell is going on here, Tails?"

Everyone turned around to see not just Fiona, but Sally and Julie-Sue as well. The guys groaned inwardly and sighed heavily because they knew there was about to be some serious drama. Fiona walked over to Tails and smacked Cream's hand away; making the poor rabbit recoil and hide behind Tails. Tails himself wanted to crawl under a rock, not from fear, but to avoid everything that Fiona was about to yell at him.

"Tails who the hell is this bitch? Are you cheating on me?" she yelled and glared at Cream who shrank further out of view, behind the kitsune. Fiona's eyes widened in realization of who the rabbit was. 'This is that bitch I saw him kissing last night. Just who the hell does she think she is, trying to steal my man? I'll show her not to mess with me!' she thought and grabbed Cream by the ear, pulling her out from behind Tails. Before Tails could even react, Fiona slapped Cream across the face and the poor rabbit fell to the ground holding her cheek. "That's for trying to move in on my man, bitch!" she yelled and kicked her in the side. Tails grabbed Fiona and held her back.

"Fiona what the fuck? You can't just do that to her, have you lost your mother fucking mind?" he yelled and pushed her over towards Sally and Julie-Su. They caught her and the female stood up straight again with a shocked expression on her face. Tails bent down and examined Cream as she lay crying on the floor. Cheese was next to her, healing the small cut on her cheek with his special chao healing ability.

A crowd of students had begun to form, watching the events unfold. Sonic noticed and decided they needed to wrap this up before any teachers came around.

"Tails c'mon, bring uh," he started.

"Cream," Tails stated flatly.

"Right, Cream. Bring her with us and we'll take her to the nurse's office." Tails nodded and picked Cream up bridle-style to carry her inside the school.

Amy, Rouge, Sonic, and Knuckles began to follow them, until Fiona tried to stop them.

"Hold the hell up, you're not really planning on helping that tramp are you, Tails?" she called after him. He stopped and spoke to her, but didn't turn back.

"If anyone is a tramp here, it sure as hell isn't Cream, Fiona. It's you." He said and began walking again. The crowd of students gasped and stared to see Fiona's reaction. She balled her hands into fists at her sides and ran after them. Sally and Julie-Su followed her as they were equally mad, upon seeing their boyfriends with other women. "Hey Tails you get back here right no-," she stopped mid-sentence and skidded to a hault as Rouge the Bat hovered right in front of her. She was NOT happy. Fiona scowled.

"What the hell do you want?" she hissed as Rouge descended to the ground and glared at her. The bat put on a fake smile and leaned in closer to Fiona's face.

"Alright you skank I'm gonna tell you this one time and one time only. If you ever touch one of my friends again, you best believe they won't ever find your body," she said in a deadly whisper. Fiona just smirked and made a grave mistake.

"I'd like to see you try, Ms. Hairless," she smirked at Rouge's shocked reaction. "C'mon girls this freak is all bark and no bite. Let's go kick that rabbit bitch's ass.

"And while we're at it I'm gonna kill that pink quilled hoe. Who does she think she is, moving in on my Sonic?" Sally fumed and stomped past Rouge along with Fiona and Julie-Su.

Rouge stood there with her head down, making her hair cast shadows over her eyes. Her hands were balled in to fists as she tried desperately to control her anger. You see, Rouge was very self-conscious about her fur since her head and body were two different shades of color. No, she wasn't hairless, but the tan fur that went around her body was just very thin. This was the cause of many a tease when she was younger and it seemed that anywhere she went; someone would call her out on it. This time, however, was the straw that broke the camel's back. She turned towards the direction the three bitches had walked off in, spread her wings, and flew straight for Fiona's back.

Fiona screamed as someone tackled her from behind and she was thrust face first into the ground. A cracking noise could be heard as her face collided with pavement, and Sally and Julie-Su rushed to her side asking if she was okay. Fiona shook on the ground from what appeared to be a convulsion.

'Probably from the sudden impact and loss of blood.' Rouge thought to herself as she watched the scene unfold from high up in the air. She could see people beginning to crowd around the three and also pulling out some sort of device and calling for what she believed she heard as 'ambulance'. The bat didn't ponder it, too, long because she had to get back to the others before they came looking or, worse, before someone looked up and discovered that she was the one who attacked the female. 'Hmph, that'll show you not to mess with my friends, and if you ever do it again, I'll give you much worse than just a broken nose.' Rouge thought and flew off after Knuckles.

~*xxxx*~

Cream was recovering after Sonic and the others escorted her to the nurse's office. Tails had gone away to ask the principal if he would be willing to let three girls enroll so suddenly. It was a long shot, but it was clear to the guys that letting these girls out of their sight was a definite 'no no'. Amy sat with Cream on the bed and rubbed her back as the young rabbit was drying her eyes from the crying she did earlier. Cheese floated up and kissed Cream where she got scratched as if to make it better. The rabbit smiled and hugged her little chao.

Knuckles was pissed at what went down and swore that Fiona and the others were so gonna pay later on. 'Where's Rouge?' He thought to himself, and as if she had read his mind, she appeared in the doorway to the nurse's office as if nothing at all had happened.

"Where were you, Bat Girl?" he asked as she sauntered up next to him and stood.

"Just went out to stretch my wings. How's everything here?" she responded with a fake smile. Knuckles knew she wasn't telling the truth but didn't have the patience to go into detail about it with her. Besides, he might even thank her if she did something worthwhile.

"Everything's just fine here, and Tails just went to enroll all of you people into the school. Though I'm not, too, excited about having to bring you here every day." He said and Rouge could see that he was pouting a little bit.

"Aw, don't be like that, Knuckie. I'm a lot a fun to be around, and besides you and I could get into all kinds of 'trouble together. Wouldn't that be fun?" she said and leaned against him suggestively. The echidna blushed and looked away from her gaze.

"Lousy bat," he muttered and Rouge went back to her original position, satisfied with his reaction.

A smirk tugged at Sonic's lips as he witnessed Rouge and Knuckles' little 'chat' with each other. 'Knuckles is so getting played.' He thought to himself and chuckled.

All of a sudden, Shadow, Mina, and an orange echidna named, Tikal came rushing into the room. Mina went right up to Sonic and poked him in the chest.

"Sonic the Hedgehog what the hell was that all about at the front gates?" she asked accursedly.

"You act like it's my fault," he said in defense. "Look, Fiona is the one that came over and started shit. Why aren't you on her ass about this?"

"Hello! You're the hero of this God-forsaken planet, and yet you couldn't even break up the fight? You have quicker reflexes that Tails! Why the hell did you just stand there and have him do all the work?" the mongoose yelled and was about to give him a long lecture, when Shadow put a hand on her shoulder, secretly telling her to calm down.

"I don't get into girl fights, Mina. Besides, I wasn't paying attention, and by the time I looked, Tails was already holding Fiona back."

"What the hell were you looking at, faker?" Shadow chimed in, equally as upset as his girlfriend, but he tried to remain expressionless. Sonic paused for a minute. 'I can't tell them what I saw. I'm not even sure I saw it myself. They'll think I'm crazy or better yet, trying to just come up with some lame excuse.' He thought and zoned out for a minute. Mina brought him back by snapping her fingers in his face.

"Hello, Earth to Sonic. We're waiting for your answer." She said while tapping her foot impatiently. Sonic sighed.

"It was nothing…you were right I should have done something," he turned to look at Cream. "Sorry Cream, I promise I'll do better next time." The rabbit smiled at him and nodded in understanding. Sonic then sat down in a chair and began to think again on what he had seen.

Shadow and Mina stood shocked and stared down and the pondering hedgehog. He couldn't have been serious could he? In all the time they had known the blue speed demon, never had he felt the obligation to explain himself, much less say sorry and admit defeat. Shadow and Mina looked at each other both sending mental messages to the other saying that something was up with Sonic. Mina just sighed and looked towards the rabbit she had never seen before as her and another unknown hedgehog was talking with Tikal about random things. 'Heh, Tikal sure is good at making new friends. I wonder where these girls came from, I mean they don't really look ordinary, and not just because they're all wearing the guys' oversized clothing.' She thought to herself while also glancing over at Rouge who was arguing with Knuckles yet again.

~*xxxx*~

Meanwhile, Tails was coming back from the principal's office in high spirits. Mr. Crocodile, (A/N Yay! I managed to get Vector in here and make him the principal! Lol) was a pretty understanding guy and merely looked at the situation as a middle-of-the-year-transfer. He made arrangements and said he would allow the girls to be enrolled. Tails thanked him and headed back t the nurse's office, thus the reason for his suddenly cheerful mood. He probably would have kept that mood going strong if he hadn't suddenly seen an ominous shadow inching out from behind the hallway corner ahead of him. The kitsune stopped suddenly and stared, thinking that maybe it was just a student coming down the hall. 'No, something's off. The head of it is…it's deformed.' He thought to himself as the shadow got bigger and began turning the corner. That's when Tails noticed that there was nothing attached to the shadow. It was there on its own and headed straight for him. At first, Tails backed up slowly, making sure not to draw to much attention to himself. The lights started to flicker and dim as the shadow came faster and then suddenly stopped. Tails stood perfectly still, awaiting the shadow's next move and watched it carefully as it stayed perfectly still in the middle of the hallway.

Then, all in one swift motion, the shadow rose up and began to materialize. 'Oh shit!' Tails thought in his head and took off, at a speed that would put Sonic to shame, in the other direction. All the young kitsune saw before he made it around the corner was a sadistic smirk playing on lips that rested on a head that that was barely still hanging on to the body that was still taking solid form.

~*xxxx*~

Cream shot up from her seat and bolted out the door to the nurse's office.

"Cream!" Amy yelled and her and Rouge chased after her. For a minute, everyone else was wondering what to do next before they all took after them, deciding that this was too important to just think about doing. Tikal was last and lagged behind the group a little bit because she was debating something within herself. 'What is this…feeling? I know it but where is it from? It's like I can feel the malice and evil of the devil himself. I haven't felt something this bad since…gasp, no, it can't be. He was never to return! He was to never ever be allowed to enter this world again! Who the heck could have set him free?' she screamed in her mind and ran faster. Praying to God that she was just over reacting, and that who she was thinking of, was safely sealed away in another realm. 'Please, please let me be dead wrong about this!' She thought and sped up to keep in pace with the others.

Tails ran at top speed through the school hallways, but it seemed that no matter how far he thought he was away from that…that thing, whenever he looked back it was always there, and each time seemed just a little closer than it was before. The clever fox decided to use his twin tails to get ahead of that thing. He spun them at max speed and zoomed down the hallways leaving only a yellow streak as he flew.

Cream ran faster. Tails was in trouble, somehow she knew it. She could practically feel his fear as whatever was chasing him was only getting closer. 'I shouldn't have let him go. I shouldn't have let him go off alone like that. Why the hell can't I do this right and protect him?' She mentally cursed herself and kept running. The rabbit knew she was getting closer to him, she could feel his presence getting nearer, but she stopped abruptly causing everyone to smash into her from behind and fall down sprawled out in the hallway. They all groaned as they lay on the floor.

"Ugh, why the hell did you stop so suddenly like that?" Knuckles growled as he was being sat on by Rouge who rubbed her head from the impact. They all looked up at Cream who was miraculously still standing, but something was wrong.

"Cream? What's wrong with you?" Rouge asked, clearly worried for her friend's sake. The poor rabbit was trembling uncontrollably. Her eyes were wide with fear as she stared straight ahead down the hallway which was strangely pitch black at the end. Cheese hid behind her and made a small 'chao' in fear as he was clearly terrified out of his mind.

"Don't you feel it Rouge?" Cream asked in a whisper. "You, too, Amy. You feel it don't you? His presence is s-so strong here. H-he's here a-and I can feel him coming closer. Don't you feel it? You must, how could you n-not? And Tails, m-my Tails. He's after him, I-I have to help him, b-but I'm s-so afraid." She began to cry silently and shook even harder. Rouge and Amy concentrated hard and then opened their eyes wide. How could they have missed it? The aura was all around them, it was thick and suffocating? The aura of a demon, no, something even worse than a demon. Something inhuman, something that would make Satan cower in fear from. How could they not have sensed it earlier? How did they let it get this bad? How could they allow the very people they were trying to protect into this building that was clearly infested with the horrible stench of death? Fear set in as Amy shakily got to her feet and walked towards Cream slowly. The pinkette grabbed her hand and looked at her friend. Fear was evident in both their eyes but determination shone through in Amy's voice.

"Let's go get Tails," she stated simply and smiled as Rouge came up on the other side of Cream and nodded. Cream looked back and forth between them and saw that both were scared shitless…just like her. But she had to do this, for Tails, for the world, for everything that mattered. Three heroes were needed for this mission to be complete, and three heroes were what these girls planned to deliver.

Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, and Mina looked confused as hell. Tikal understood, and was just as scared because these girls and the aura she felt confirmed her fears. Questions ravaged her brain. How did this come to pass? Who set him free? Why is he here? What will happen to this world? Are we going to die? She shook her head to get rid of the questions and thoughts. Then, swallowing all of her fear, for now, she walked up to them and spoke.

"I will help you with whatever you need. I know I don't look like it, but I was on this earth the last time this event tried to come to pass. I was there when he was supposedly sealed away forever. And now, the very thing that my people and I tried so hard to prevent is coming true again. So please let me help you…tenyos." She concluded, using a work none of them had ever heard before. Except for the three un-earthly beings who smiled and nodded their thanks to her. Sonic had had enough.

"Okay what the hell are you all talking about? Who the hell is this guy you are talking about? What's going on here? We're running around this place looking like crazy people for what?" he yelled exasperated. Everyone blinked in surprise at his sudden outburst except Amy. The hedgehogette walked up to him and took his hands in hers.

"I promise to you Sonic, that when this is over I will explain everything to you as I should have in the beginning. But right now your friend Tails is in trouble, and if we don't go and save him quickly…he will die." Sonic's eyes widened along with several other pairs. The Blue Blur didn't need to be told twice. He grabbed Amy by the hand and jetted off down the dark hallway.

"Hurry the hell up you guys! We gotta save Tails!" he yelled back at them. The group began running as fast as they could to try and keep up. The hallway got darker and darker as more and more lights had burnt out. Some were barely flickering as if someone had cut their power. Amy tried to pull on Sonic's arm.

"Sonic wait! You have no idea what you're going up against! You have to-,"

"All I need to know is that tails is in trouble and that we gotta save him. If you think too much you end up hesitating, and when you hesitate you get hurt." He said before kicking up speed. Amy stared and then held onto his hand tighter. A smile tugged at her lips. 'They did a great job choosing you as one of the universal heroes.' She thought and continued forward with him.

The team ran for a few more minutes, turning corners in the seemingly endless hallways.

'I don't remember this part of the building. Something isn't right here.' Shadow thought to himself and made sure that he didn't let Mina out of his sight. They had just turned another corner when they all came to a hault. Staring straight ahead, horror was the obvious emotion on all of their faces. But none more so than Cream the Rabbit herself.

"…B-bloody hell." Mina mumbled to herself as silent tears began to fall from her eyes. Cream stepped forward and sunk to her knees, staring in disbelief and grief at the sight presented to her. She shook as tears began to fall and she took in a shaky breath to only let it out as a grief stricken call.

"TAILS!"
