(I don't own Sonic or Sega)
The next morning everyone got up and gathered around the tv as Tails was about to play the video. "Ya think this will tell us what's going on?" Sonic asked looking at the tv. "I can't say for certain but it's the only lead we've got." Tails replied as he inserted the tape. Once the tape was in Tails turned on the tv, there was static for about two seconds until a picture came on screen and Eggman was talking to himself while working on something.
"The bomb is almost complete and once it's done I can use it to get rid of that pesky hedgehog!" "So it was him!" Knuckles shouted. "Shhh!" Everyone shushed as Eggman was still talking. "Now all I need is to insert the venom of Orochi into the combustion chamber and that will complete the bomb." "Orochi?" Cream said in confusion. "Who's that?" Amy asked. "Wait there's more." Sonic said as one of Eggman's robots came on screen. "Eggman, Yamata no Orochi wishes to speak with you when you're done." The robot reported to him. "Very well then what could he want?" "He said he wanted to see the curse bomb." The robot said. "Very well then I guess he should see it so we can tell him what were planning." Eggman then picked up the bomb and took off in his Egg Carrier, the video then ends. "I guess that was all of the footage on this tape." Tails sai taking it out. "I knew that Egg head was behind this!" Sonic shouted. "But he wasn't working alone, we don't know who this Orochi guy is." Rouge said looking at Sonic. "Plus we don't know where Eggman is, I mean when Tails went to his fortress he said it was abandoned." Knuckles said really confused. "Well we still have another tape, maybe this will explain a little more." Tails then put the second tape into the VCR and the video started playing with Eggman running frantically.
"How could Orochi betray us like that?" Eggman shouted. "Well to be fair every demon or monster you try to resurrect to help you has always betrayed you." The Robot said. "Shut up!" Eggman yelled. "We need to get out of here before the bomb explodes!" BOOOOOM. "Oh noooo!" Eggman screamed as he was engulfed in the blast then the video turned to static. "So Eggman's dead?" Sonic asked. "Dang it, I wanted to kill him myself!" Knuckles yelled. "Well at least we know what happened." Tails said looking at Sonic. "But we still don't know who this Orochi is?" Amy said. Everyone just stood for a minute to think about this. "Could he be what' making that loud noise?" Cream asked. "Wait a minute I think I've heard of that name." Tails said heading over to his bookshelf. "Really where?" Everyone asked "I read something about it in this book." Tails said holding out the book labeled "Monsters in Myths." "Let me just skim through it, ah here we go." Tails said about to read the chapter. "It says in Japanese Mythology Yamata no Orochi is an eight headed serpent that curses a land and sends demons to possess the living, It says every year the village Orochi haunted would sacrifice a virgin maiden to keep the demon from destroying the village, but the demon was slayed by the legendary hero Susano-o to save the maiden he loved from being sacrificed." Immediately after Tails finished reading everyone looked at each other very awkwardly." "So what's basically happening is that a blood hungry eight headed serpent is loose outside somewhere?" Cream said looking scared. "Well i'm not 100% sure but that's what it seems like." Sonic then remembered the dream he had a while ago. "Wait a minute those eyes from my dream, could that have been Orochi?" Sonic asked. "It would make sense." Tails said. "You said you saw sixteen glowing red eyes if you take two eyes and multiply it by eight then there's no doubt about it that was Orochi in your dream." Tails concluded. "That's great Tails now how do we kill it?" Knuckles asked. "Good question, the book doesn't say how he specifically died." Tails said looking distressed. "So now what do we do?" Sonic asked.
