Chapter 12
"Poor creature." said Chibi Moon "I can't believe such a horrible thing happened to something so innocent."
"Don't worry, Chibi Moon." assured Tuxedo mask hpldin Tails' hands "My life force is more than enough to keep this fox alive."
"I just hope the others make it back soon." said Chibi Moon
"They will." said Tuxedo Mask "For now let's just wait."
Just then Chibi Moon saw a couple of shadows getting closer. It was the Sailors, Freedom Fighters, and Chaotix.
"They're here!" shouted Chibi Moon with excitement "They're coming! Tuxedo Mask they're coming!"
"About time." said Tuxedo Mask
"We're back!" shouted Sailor Moon
"We've got the Pure Hearts back from the enemy!" shouted Sonic
"Now we can bring everyone back to life." said Mercury
"What took you?" asked Chibi Moon "We've been waiting for hours!"
"Sorry we're late." said Jupiter "The Death Busters proved to be a tough enemy."
"Did you get them?" asked Chibi Moon
"Unfortunately they escaped." said Venus
"The point is that we have everyone's pure hearts back." said Tuxedo Mask
"We can begin reviving everyone." said Chibi Moon "Starting with your friend Mr. Sonic."
"Here you do the honors." said Jupiter handing Tails' Heart Crystal to Sonic.
"Are you sure?" hesitated Sonic "I don't think I'm the right candidate after I did say a lot of hurtful things to him. I mean he's mad at me and I doubt after I called him that word he hates the most he will ever forgive me."
"Don't worry." said Tuxedo Mask "You said it yourself you and Tails are inseparable stronger than any bridge. I'm sure he'll forgive you. If you say those two words 'I'm sorry' to him."
"But..." said Sonic
"Come on Sonic." said Sally "If you went out of your way to get his pure heart back I'm sure he will forgive you."
"Yeah you can do it." said Sailor Moon
"Just reconcile with him." said Mercury
"What are we waiting are we gon
"Come on Sonic." cheered Rotor "Put back his pure heart back."
"Okay if everyone insist." said Sonic reluctantly
Sonic released the Pure Heart slowly going inside Tails' body. Tails slowly opened his eyes and saw everyone was gathered around him Chaotix, Freedom Fighters, and the Sailor Soldiers. He even saw Sonic in front of him.
"What happened?" asked Tails confused "All I remember is sitting on a tree and then some crazy lady in red who called herself Eudial came out of the bushes wanting my 'pure heart' whatever that is. And then BOOM! I'm on the floor."
"Tails!" shouted the Freedom Fighters (excluding Sonic who backed away.) as they hugged him
"Guys! Are you okay?" asked Tails still confused
"We're fine." said Sally wiping tears from her eyes "We're just glad you are safe and sound and not dead."
"W-what!" said Tails in shock
"Long story." said Bunnie "We'll explain later."
"Tails." said Sally "Sonic has something to tell you. Isn't that right Sonic?"
Sonic nodded who stood behind Sally but didn't speak a word.
"Forget it!" shouted Tails "As of this moment me and Sonic are done!"
"Tails." said Sonic "If you let me explain..."
"Don't bother." said Tails "You already said your piece back at New Mobotropolis! Now allow me to say mine. You think you're all that because of your super speed. Well guess what big shot you're not! You're nothing but a big jerk who thinks he can use people to get what he wants! And I'm sick of you not having any considerations for your friends!"
"Tails..." paused Sonic
"I thought you and I were brothers!" shouted Tails "I thought you were different from them but I guess I was wrong! And now I want you out of my sight! I'm done with you Sonic the Hedgehog!" and he pointed at Sonic.
After Tails finished yelling at Sonic, he ran into the forest with tears coming out of his eyes. He ran to get away from the hedgehog.
"Tails! Wait!" said Sonic who chased after Tails into the forest.
"Sonic..." said Sally as she tried to go after Sonic only to be stopped by Bunnie
"Ah think it would be best to leave those two alone." said Bunnie
Deep in the great forest. Tails ran as fast as he could to get away from Sonic. But he noticed Sonic was behind him as he saw a the blue blur get close. Tails decided to run into the left side and hid behind a tree before Sonic could see him. Sonic arrived in the same spot were Tails stopped to hide from him. He stood there trying to figure out where he went.
"Strange." said Sonic "I could of sworn he ran this way. I guess the kid's fast."
Sonic heard a strange sound coming from the trees. It was Tails who accidently cracked a twig with his feet. Sonic smiled and knew the fox was somewhere nearby.
"All right Sonic." thought Sonic "You can do this all you have to apologize. It's not that hard."
Sonic took a pause and began to talk.
"You know this reminds of that time you followed me." said Sonic "Remember from the first time we met when you followed me while I was running in a forest similar to this one."
Tails still hid behind a tree unmoved by his words.
"Anyway I'm here..." paused Sonic "Because I want to say...to say...to say." Sonic struggled to find a right way to apologize.
"Go away!" shouted Tails in an angry loud tone "Leave me alone Sonic! I hate you!" Tails covered his mouth realizing what he did, probably giving away his location.
Sonic took another deep breath and was ready to say sorry.
"I'm sorry, okay." said Sonic "I didn't mean all those things I said to you. It's just the moment I saw Uncle Chuck's dead body I snapped. And after seeing what happened to him I let my rage blind me and in the process I took it out on you. But then I realized what I've done and wanted to apologize to you. But then you had your pure heart extracted and then the thought of losing you too also hit me. I can't afford to loose you too little buddy. You are the closets thing to a brother that I have. You and Uncle Chuck mean the world to me."
Tails still stood behind the tree unconvinced.
"Please Tails I'm really sorry." said Sonic "I risked my life, fought an evil cult to get your pure heart back. But if that isn't enough to forgive me or prove that I still care. Don't worry I understand you have a right to be angry. Well that's all I have then see you little bro, I just hope we can reconcile one day."
Sonic walked back towards where the Sailors and the rest of the freedom fighters were waiting. When Sonic heard
"I forgive you, bro." said Tails coming out from behind the tree
"Tails!" shouted Sonic as a smile formed around his face.
Tails ran towards Sonic to hug. The blue hedgehog's face began to blush red at this sign of affection.
"You...really...forgive...me." paused Sonic
"Of course I do. After if you risked your life to bring me back from the jaws of death." said Tails "Then that means you do care about me. Though you may be a jerk sometimes in the end you still lookout for me, Sally, and the rest of the gang."
"Oh Tails." said Sonic touched by those words. "Come here I promise I won't ever loose you or hurt you again."
Both of them hugged.
"I guess we should head back." said Tails "I want to hear all about the battle you had with that evil cult."
Sonic and Tails walked back to meet with the rest of the gang. The others waited but then noticed two silhouettes forming as they got closer to them.
"Hey it Sonic and Tails." said Rotor
"Ah guessed the two reconciled." said Bunnie
"Are you two okay?" asked Sally
"Yeah were fine." replied Sonic
"Never better." said Tails "Sonic told me everything and he apologized and we reconciled."
"Good to hear." said Sally
Tails got approached Sailor Chibi Moon and Tuxedo
"Thank you, both of you." said Tails "I heard that you two kept me alive while Sonic was fighting to get my pure heart crystals."
"Don't mention it." said Tuxedo Mask "It is our job as heroes to save lives."
"Yeah it's what we do." said Chibi Moon "We never leave a friend behind."
"Friend?" said Tails pointing to himself "You consider me a friend. I barely know you."
"Allow me to introduce myself." said Chibi Moon "I'm Sailor Chibi, Sailor Soldier in Training."
"My name is Miles Prower." said Tails "But everyone calls me Tails." shaking Chibi Moon's hand. Chibi Moon kissed Tails on the cheek making him blush.
"Well Tails it's nice to meet you." said Tuxedo Mask "I'm Tuxedo Mask."
"Why do people call you Tails?" asked Chibi Moon curiously
"Because I have two tails." said Tails showing Chibi Moon his two tails "And I can also do this."
Tails spun his tails like the propeller of a helicopter. Once his tails spun he flew around in a circle under Chibi Moon. Impressing her:
"Cool!" said Chibi Moon impressed "A fox with two tails that can fly."
"A flying fox?" said Tuxedo Mask "Now there's something you don't see everyday."
Tails decended back into the ground. Chibi Moon ran to him and kissed him on the cheeck. Causing Tails to blush. He turned and saw the Sailors standing there, he approached them and said:
"Thank you girls." said Tails "Sonic told me how you also risked your lives to save everyone's pure heart."
"Don't mention it." said Mercury
"By the way who are you five suppose to be?" asked Tails
"That's right!" said Sailor Moon "With all the chaos that occurred recently we never got the chance to introduce ourselves."
"Sailor Moon's right." said Mercury "We should have the courtesy of introducing ourselves."
"Let's do it!" shouted Mars
"The soldier of water and wisdom." said Mercury "Sailor Mercury!"
"The soldier of fire and passion." said Mars "Sailor Mars!"
"The soldier of lightning and courage." said Jupiter "Sailor Jupiter!"
"The soldier of love and beauty." said Venus "Sailor Venus!"
"And last the sailor soldier of love and justice." said "Sailor Moon!"
And together..." said Chibi Moon
"We are the Ultimate Sailor Team!" shouted all of the Sailor Soldiers "And in the name of the Moon!"
"We shall Punish you!"doing their signature pose.
Sonic, Tails, and the rest of the Freedom Fighters had confused look on their faces. The Sailors saw their expression and became embarrassed.
"Sorry." said Jupiter in an embarrassed with her hand with her head "
"We've been doing this for so long." said Venus "We really don't know how to greet people."
"No prob." said Sonic "I think it's cool that you have your significance poses and introduction."
"Anyway I'm Sonic the Hedgehog." presented Sonic "And this is my best buddy and boy genius Miles 'Tails' Prower."
"But you can call me Tails." suggested Tails "Anyway thanks for saving me." Tails shook the hands of the Sailors.
"My name is Sally Acorn." said Sally "I'm leader and strategist of the Knothole Freedom Fighters. I'm also princess of the Acorn Kingdom." Shaking the hands of the Sailors.
"The name's Bunnie D'Colette." said Bunnie "Ah provide the muscle and this here is mah Sugah-Twan."
"Bonjour." said Antoine "Ze name is Antoine D'Collette. Enchate Mademoiselles."
Antoine approached Venus. Venus extended her hand and Antoine kissed it repeatedly, While Venus blushed.
"May I say Mademoiselle." said Antoine as he continued kissing Venus' hand "You have ze prettiest eyes and the shiniest hair. You must be a goddess."
"Twan!" shouted Bunnie with a little envy "How come you never complement me like that?"
Antoine immediately realizing that this made Bunnie jealously.
"Oh Pardon!" shouted Antoine realizing what he has done "Please my dear do not be upset. You are still how do you say my number one."
"Just remember my Sugah-Twan is off limits." reminded Bunnie "May I remind he is taken." she said as she showed her wedding ring.
"I am sorry." said Venus "I would never steal another woman's man. It is against the code of girls everywhere looking for a man."
"I should apologize too." said Bunnie "I guess I get a little jealous when Antoine pays attention to another woman."
"Don't worry I understand." said Venus "I would be jealous if my man would stare at another man. Let's just move on and be friends."
"Okay." said Bunnie shaking Venus' hand.
"Moving on this is Rotor." said Sonic "He is the tech genius behind our latest gadgets."
"Hello nice to meet you ladies." said Rotor shaking the Sailors hands.
"Now that that's out of the way." said Sally "I think it would be best to return these heart crystals back to their owners. Who knows how long they've been separated from their host."
"Sal's right we have to hurry." said Sonic "Everyone to New Mobotropolis city."
Of they went to New Mobotropolis to return the pure heart crystals to their rightful owners. They eventually arrived outside the city walls at the entrance of the city. They stopped for a moment.
"I think it would be best of we split up." said Sally "We may be able to finish if we scatter around the city."
"That's a good idea." said Mercury
"All right let's do it." said Jupiter
"Okay everyone let's split up." said Sailor Moon
And so they distributed the pure hearts evenly and split into groups. Sailor Jupiter went towards King Frederick Airfield. Sailor Mars went to the Royal Military HQ. Sailor Moon went to the Acorn Council. Sally, Mercury, Antoine went to the Acorn Castle. Sailor Venus, Mina Mongoose went to the center of town were the giant screen was. Sonic, Tails, and Ben went to uncle Chuck's diner. And Rotor and Bunnie went to the detention center.
At King Frederick Airfield
Jupiter arrived at the airfield and witnessed the comatose bodies.
"These poor creatures." said Jupiter "Don't worry I'll bring you back to life."
Jupiter released the pure hearts given to her and released them into the air. The hearts entered the chest of the victims. They all woke up. One of the workers who was lying near Jupiter when he woke up and opened his eyes.
"W-who are you?" asked the worker who was trying to regain his conscience
"My name is Sailor Jupiter." replied Jupiter "Soldier of courage and today I just saved your life."
"What my life?" asked the worker confused "What are you talking about?"
"Long story, anyway I have to go." said Jupiter and she disappeared waving goodbye to the workers
"I wonder who that was?" asked another worker.
Mars arrived at the Royal Army HQ and released the pure hearts into the air returning to their rightful owners. The Soldiers woke up and saw Mars.
"Hey you!" shouted one of the soldiers who regained his conscience. "Who are you and were you responsible for this?"
"No sir." said Mars "I am hero, my name is Sailor Mars soldier of fire and I just returned your pure hearts."
"My pure what?" said the soldier puzzled
"You were attacked by a band of evil women." said Mars "They were after your pure hearts and we just got them back. Well I have to go bye."
Mars also disappeared.
"Should we go after her?" suggested one of the soldiers
"No I think she's on our side." said the Soldier
Sailor Moon entered the Council of Acorn and was shocked at what she saw.
"Oh no these poor people." said Sailor Moon "How could something horrible happen to them. I guess it's time to return these heart crystal to them."
"I think it would best." said Tuxedo Mask
Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask relaesed the pure hearts and the council members regained were revived.
"What happened?" asked Rosemary Prower "All I remember is this crazy woman asking about our pure hearts and then it went all black."
"Me too." said Hamlin "I remember that simlar scenerio as well."
"Hey who are those two figures over there." said another Council member pointing the silhouettes of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask
"Who are you two?" asked Rosemary
But the two silhouettes disappeared. The council members went outside but it was too late Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon had already left.
"I wonder who those two humans were?" asked Hamlin
"I don't know." replied Rosemary "But I have a feeling we will run into them again."
Acorn Castle
Mercury, Sally, Antoine proceeded to return the pure hearts of King Elias, Megan, their infant son, and the royal guards. They released the pure hearts entering the bodies of all the victims. Elias was the first to wake up, Antoine approached him.
"Sa Majeste!" shouted Antoine "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Antoine." said Elias "I don't remember much except that I was getting ready to leave for the Council. When all of a sudden a crazy human woman in red burst into the castle demanding my pure heart. Whatever that was? I tried to fight her but the next thing you know I am lying unconscious on the floor. And that's all I can remember. Can you tell me what's going on?"
"It is a long story." replied Antoine "But ze good news you and ze queen are alive."
Elias then noticed Sally and Sailor Mercury. He paid more attention to Mercury. He turned towards Antoine .
"Antoine?" asked Elias "Who is that human girl standing next to my sister?"
"Allow me to introduce myself." said Mercury "I am Sailor Mercury warrior of knowledge and wisdom."
"Charmed. The I am King Elias Acorn." said Elias "Were you the one's responsible for this?"
"Elias!" shouted Sally "How ungreatful of you I'll have you know she along with her friends helped us retrieved your Heart Crystal."
"Sorry." said Elias "Wait there's more of you?"
"Yes there are five of us." replied Mercury "I form a team of called the Sailors Soldiers. We came from another world in search of someone but ended up saving you. Anyway I have to head back with the group. Nice meeting your Majesty!"
"Hey wait!" said Elias
"Don't worry Elias!" shouted Sally "We'll explain later."
Sally, Mercury, Antoine left Acorn Castle. Sonic and Tails arrived at Uncle Chuck's Restaurant ready to return the pure hearts back to Uncle Chuck and the rest of the patrons. Tails released the pure hearts back to their owners. Sonic approached Chuck's body lifted him and took out Uncle Chuck's crystal and it floated back to his body. Uncle chuck woke up and briefly coughed.
"W-w-what happened?" asked Chuck trying to regain his conscience.
"Uncle Chuck!" shouted Sonic with tears of joy, hugging him.
"Sonic?" asked Chuck puzzeled by Sonic's behavior "Are you okay, boy? Why are you crying?"
"Nothing." said Sonic wiping the tears from his face "Just glad that your alive again."
"Alive? What are you talking..." but before Uncle Chuck could finish his sentence he finally remembered what happened "Oh no the customers! Sonic! We have to save the customers no the citizens of this city! This crazy human lady came into the restaurant and started demanding peoples' pure hearts and this All I remember is screaming in pain and then I woke up with you hugging me! Sonic!"
"Calm down, Uncle Chuck." said Sonic "We have it under control."
"Yeah Sonic's right." said Ben "Everyone is okay." Ben pointed to all the customers waking up
"In that case." said Uncle Chuck "Wait! What about that evil woman?"
"Oh we took care of her." replied Sonic "I would like to chat but I have to be somewhere."
Sonic and Tails left the restaurant and headed back to meet the rest of the group. Leaving Ben and Uncle Chuck.
"That boy." thought Uncle Chuck "I wonder what's going on. Well might as well follow him."
Uncle Chuck ran after Sonic and Tails. Leaving Ben in charge of the restaurant until he returns. Meanwhile in the town square where Viluy attacked Mina and Sailor Venus released their part of the pure hearts into the victims. Mina decided to take Ash's pure heart personally. Venus followed her.
"Mina who's this?" asked Venus wondering who the young mongoose was.
"This is my boyfriend Ash." said Mina "I just wanted to bring back his pure heart crystal personally."
"That's sweet." thought Venus "I wish I had a boyfriend. Now I'm jealous."
Mina gently returned Ash's pure heart into his chest. Ash woke up, got up instantly and led out a loud exhale.
"Ash!" shouted Mina "I'm glad you're okay now."
"What happened?" said Ash confused "All I remember is watching the battle with Sonic and Eggman. Then this strange lady appears on the screen demanding we offer our pure hearts to something called the 'Death Busters' the next thing I was put under a trance and that is as a far as I remember. Oh no! Did she get you too babe?!"
"No I'm fine I left to warn Sonic and the the others." replied Mina "Plus you should really thank my new friend here she's the one who told us that how save you."
Ash looked at Sailor Venus
"Who's your friend?" asked Ash
"My name is Sailor Venus soldier of love and passion." said Venus
"Well Sailor Venus did anyone ever tell you. You have the prettiest blue eyes." said Ash getting close to Venus and grabbing her hand. "Did anyone also tell you that you look like an angel from heaven with that sparkling shinny blond hair of yours."
"Eh?" Venus Blushed taken aback by Ash's complement
"Ash!" shouted Mina "What are you doing?! Get back here this instant so I can beat some sense into you!"
Mina smacked Ash in the head
"Ow!" shouted Ash "What was that for?"
"For being such a womanizer." replied Mina "I can't believe you were about to leave me for her."
"I am sorry, babe." said Ash "I can't help it everytime I see a beautiful woman I have complement her immediately. I got that from my dad. But babe you're still my number one and I wouldn't trade for another woman in the world."
Mina was touched by Ash's words and the two proceeded to kiss. Venus decided it was time to leave.
"Well I have to go and meet with the rest of the gang." said Venus and Venus ran off while Ash and Mina continued smooching.
After they had restored the Pure hearts of the citizens and their loved ones. The Freedom Fighters and Sailor Soldiers returned to the meeting place.
"So far everybody seems to be coming back to there senses." said Tails
"No one remembers much about the attack." said Sonic "Only before from what happened."
"The point is that everyone's pure hearts have been returned to their bodies." said Sally
"Everything seems to fine at the detention center." said Rotor "It appears the back up generator was able to keep the prisoners from escaping."
"So detention center is safe." said Bunnie "And everyone is back to normal."
"And we all it all to you, Mademoiselles." said Antoine thanking the Sailors
"Yeah if it wasn't for you guys then all of our friends would be gone forever." said Tails
"What my bro said." said Sonic "We owe you for saving us."
"Well I think it's best if I we stay here and take care of things around here." said Sally "You ladies can go back to the Freedom HQ and stay there until we comeback."
"Got it!" said Sailor Moon "All right everyone let's all go to the Freedom HQ."
The Sailors and Tuxedo Mask ran back to the Knothole Forest to the Freedom HQ. While Sonic and the Freedom Fighters stayed in New Mobotropolis trying to rebuild from the Death Busters' attack
