Thanks again to all reviewers, I reward you all with....A Short Chapter. Sorry lol...
In reality, it was the other way around. Robotnik attacked Tails family with a robot, and was brought down by Sonic, but not before he could kill Tails parents. Sonic didn't remember Tails because he never interacted with the people he saved from Eggman's robots. Upon seeing the two tailed fox, something clicked in his subconscious, and he remembered where he saw him before. In the middle of a smashed home, crying, as a baby. Parents lying on the ground, dead.
Sonic remembered the fox all too well now. It was about five years ago, a mechanical killing machine was tearing across the country side. By the time he had been able to bring it down, it had destroyed the Prower home, leaving only their one year old kit alive inside the wreckage. He immediately gave the small fox over to the authorities, and hadn't heard about it since.
Sonic knew he had to find the fox soon, and spent several hours searching the forest he had run off into. He came across what appeared to be an old abandoned scrap yard. He walked in with caution, knowing the Prowers son had probably wandered in here. He heard a weird noise in the distance and went to check it out, sure enough there he was. He appeared to be putting something together with the scrap metal.
"You shouldn't be here, its dangerous." Sonic said softly. Despite the calm voice, Tails jumped. He wasn't expecting to face his enemy so soon. His machine wasn't nearly ready, what would he do?
In a desperate moment , he threw his wrench at the hedgehog, who dodged it easily. Tails backed up a few feet, scared, as Sonic approached him. "Why did you do that, what's wrong with you?" Sonic said, a little annoyed. This is why he didn't like little kids.
"I-I know who you are!" The fox stuttered out.
"A lot of people know me, I'm Sonic the hedge-"
"I also know what you did!" The kit yelled out. "You, you took them from me!"
"What? I've never stolen anything in my…" Sonic began, dumbfounded.
"My parents!" Tails yelled out, now crying. "You took them from me! Do you know what it's like to grow up thinking everyone hates you so much, that even your parents abandoned you?! Do you know what its like to…to…to be a freak?!" He finished with a sob. "You don't care, you're just like everyone else…you want to kill people like me to make room for perfect people, like you, right?!"
"Listen up you wordy little bastard…" Sonic began, now angry at being accused of murder, " I knew your parents. I don't know what you heard, but I didn't kill them. They were murdered by Dr. Robotnik, years ago."
"That's a lie, Dr. Robotnik saved me from you…"
"Who told you that, let me guess…Robotnik? Of course he would say that, because he knows you'd buy it."
"He has no reason to lie to me…" Tails said slowly, now not sure who to trust.
"I don't either. I know you have no reason to trust me, but I'm going to need you to." Sonic looked down at the kid, who appeared to be in the middle of a huge internal struggle. "Listen, kid, what's your name?"
"…Miles Prower. My friends call me Tails though."
"Tails, I would never hurt you, or anyone. I didn't know you didn't want to go to the orphanage." Sonic walked over and sat on one knee, to be eye level with him, and put his hands on his shoulders. "Tell me, who told you all those lies. Was it Robotnik?
Tails got angry remembering how Robotnik had gone into the same pose to lie to him. He didn't know who to trust, though Sonic seemed more sincere. "Yes, it was Robotnik. Tell me why he would lie to me then, and more importantly, why should I trust you?"
Sonic thought for a moment, then snapped him fingers. "Because I can prove it."
