Sorry for the wait on the next chapter. I was flooded with a lot of homework. Anyway, here's the next chapter. Read and Review.
Chapter 6: Kitsune within
"I can't believe it! All I wanted you to do was to destroy that inferior hedgehog! But instead you attack the fox! Errrr! Get out of my sight!" Eggman shouted at the failed Metal Sonic. He was so feed up with his incompetence. Unlike other people, when Eggman says three strikes you're out he means it.
"But sir…" Metal Sonic began before Eggman slammed his fist down on the metal counter beside him, signaling the robot to be quiet.
"No excuses! Bokkun!" Eggman shouted in anger. Truth be told he wasn't really angry that he failed, he was angry at the fact that a superior machine like Metal Sonic could fail. Before Eggman could keep processing this the messenger boy Bokkun showed up and flew toward Eggman with his hands at his side.
"Yes sir!" Bokkun said.
"Toss him in the obedience chamber." Eggman commanded. Bokkun flew toward Metal in order to do as Eggman instructed but before he could even touch the robot it moved out of the way.
"Resisting arrest?" Eggman said while smirking.
"Give me another try." Metal Sonic said keeping his head low.
"Another try? I don't ever give robots that are strong enough to succeed but end up failing anyway another try. What makes you so special huh? Why should I give you another try?" Eggman asked while tapping his foot up and down.
"…Because…because you need me in order to succeed." Metal merely said. Both Eggman and Bokkun stared at the blue robot quizingly. It was about a minute before Eggman finally answered.
"…Fine." The answer got both Metal's and Bokkun's attention.
"Thank you sir." Metal said turning around and leaving the room. Bokkun stared at the door Metal Sonic just exited in shock. He turned to look up at Eggman who was also leaving the room but going the opposite way Metal took.
'You're up to something Metal. Don't think for a second that I won't find out.' Eggman thought as he headed toward his robot creation room on the ship.
Mystic Ruins: the same daySonic and Tails had arrived at Sonic's home in the Mystic Ruins a few hours ago after the attack. Tails was shivering madly when they walked in. It wasn't because he was cold however. It was because he was still frightened about the events he saw on that island. All those people were being killed so brutally. It didn't seem fair, even if they all probably deserved it. To think if they had just believed the fox they probably would've been able to escape. The ignorance of those people caused them all to die. Tails sat on the floor in Sonic's small living room and stared at the plasma screen T.V in front of him.
"You like it?" Sonic said approaching from behind. Tails jumped up and turned toward Sonic.
"Yeah…how'd you…" Tails began.
"It was a gift, a pretty nice one too. I was a little hesitant about keeping it when I read the card though. It said 'Dear Sonic, this is for you. I am always thinking about you because according to the restraining order that's all I'm allowed to do.'" Sonic recited. Tails didn't understand but decided not to dwell on something that wasn't any of his concern. The fox then sat back on the floor. Sonic noticed this and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Tails turned around and saw the hedgehog staring at him with a confused look on his face. "What is it? Did I do something wrong?" Tails asked.
"No, it's just…why would you want to sit on the floor when I have a couch right behind you?" Sonic asked. Tails looked around Sonic and saw the couch sitting there just as Sonic said.
"Well…that couch looks nice…and people don't like it when I'm near their nice things…so I thought…" Tails began.
"Tails, I told you, you're not on Westside Island anymore. Plus we're roommates. Everything I have is also yours too. So come on." Sonic said as he sat on the couch.
"But…"
"Come on Tails. Sit on the couch. I know you can do it." Sonic said in a cheery voice. He almost couldn't believe he was being a cheerleader for Tails about something as simple as sitting on a couch. Tails fiddled with his hands cutely and stared at the couch with a sense of resistance. Tails soon however decided to go for it. He walked up to the couch slowly and gently sat down on it, closing his eyes as he did this. When he felt something cushiony and soft on his backside he opened his eyes and looked down. He was actually sitting on the couch.
"Am I…" Tails asked.
"Yup! It's what all heroes refer to as chilling out." Sonic said leaning back into a lazy position on the couch. Tails watched him do this and decided it was probably okay for him to try as well. Tails leaned back the same way Sonic did and soon slumped into the lazy position Sonic was in. It was incredible. He had never felt such comfort in his life.
"This is great." The fox said quietly.
"It sure is." Sonic said while slowly starting to drift to sleep. That was when he remembered something. "The Chaos emerald is still on that island!" Sonic shouted which startled the hell off of Tails and caused him to fall off the couch. He landed face first on the rug and just lied there. Sonic saw this and kneeled down to see if the fox was okay. "I'm sorry about that. Are you alright buddy?" Sonic asked a bit worried. Tails poked his head off the ground and looked up.
"Yeah I'm fine." Tails got up off the ground and watched as Sonic paced around the room.
"That must be the reason he attacked the island. He must've wanted the chaos emerald. That means he probably has it now. This is perfect! How am I going to find that aircraft Eggman is hiding in to get it back? It's probably half way around the world by now." Sonic than stopped pacing at the sound of a stomach growling. He turned and saw Tails holding his stomach with a straining look on his face.
"You alright buddy?" Sonic asked as Tails kept clutching his stomach in pain.
"No…I think…something's wrong with my stomach." Tails said in a straining voice. All of a sudden they both heard a familiar air ripping sound. Tails blushed when he heard it, knowing it was him who made the sound.
"…That was a fart wasn't it?" Sonic said while smirking brightly. Tails blushed even more and nodded. "It's okay buddy. There is no reason to be embarrassed. Your stomach's just hurting because you need to use the bathroom. It's right down the hall over there." Sonic pointed toward a small hallway, which Tails immediately flew toward in embarrassment. Sonic chuckled than sat on the couch.
Station Square
"Yes sir your eggyness. I BA BA BABBOON am now at the shopping facility of which you spoke of!" Shouted a baboon with a metal arm, leg, and eye into the communicator.
"SHHH! You idiot! Don't shout your name out loud like that! We need to stay secretly hidden. Now Ba Ba Baboon I need you to take the two monkey shaped robots into the Station Square grocery store and make sure you make a big enough mess for Sonic to show up. Kill him on sight! I don't want him interfering with my plans I have with that fox friend of his." Eggman shouted into the communicator.
"All right Egg boss man. I BA BA BABOON SHALL…"
"No, seriously. I need you to shut up and go into that store!" Eggman said disconnecting the communication link.
"…Party pooper." Baboon mumbled than turned to the robots who were dressed in black over coats to keep their identities secret from the general public. "All right you guys, it's time to get this party started." Baboon said waving his hands in the robot's faces. The robots did nothing. "…Boy, even his robots have no party in them. Come on lets get this mission over with." Baboon said walking up to the store.
Back in the Mystic Ruins
"Feeling better yet bud." Sonic asked. Tails had just gotten out of the bathroom. He was feeling much better now.
"Yeah I'm feeling great Sonic. Can we go get some ice-cream?" Tails asked. He had always hoped that one day he would be able to eat or even have a lick of that beautiful substance he saw all the other inhabitants on Westside Island eating. He sure hoped Sonic wouldn't mind buying him some.
"Sure we can go for ice-cream kid." Sonic said happily. Tails immediately jumped up and down in excitement. 'Kids and ice-cream, the classic mix.' Sonic thought as he motioned Tails toward the door.
In Station Square about 30 minutes later
Sonic and Tails had gotten off the train a while ago and were proceeding to head toward an ice-cream parlor. Sonic knew where the best one in the city was located and it wouldn't take him anytime at all to get there. It was located beside the Station Square grocery store where basically everyone goes to shop for groceries. Sonic and Tails were just now approaching the grocery store.
"Wow! I can't wait to eat my ice cream Sonic. I bet it tastes just like chilidogs." Tails said still jumping up and down.
"I doubt that Tails." Sonic said as walked even closer to the grocery store. He was about to walk past the grocery store's entrance when he heard the sound of a huge crash. This immediately got Sonic's attention. He turned to the door and looked through it. Tails, who was still skipping merrily, suddenly rammed into Sonic. He fell to the ground and looked up at the hedgehog.
"Why'd we stop?" Tails asked then saw that Sonic was looking at something through the window. He got up off the ground and looked through the window as well. He was now staring at three monkeys completely demolishing the place inside the grocery store. "Uh-oh. Sonic I think they're with that Eggman guy." Tails said noticing the metal parts on the baboon doing most of the work destroying the place. Sonic didn't answer the little fox. Instead he immediately zoomed into the grocery store. Tails soon followed behind him.
"I hope that hedgehog will get the picture and show up." Ba Ba Baboon said while tossing a huge shelf at the fleeing victims.
"By hedgehog do you mean little ol' me." Sonic said from behind the baboon. Ba Ba Baboon quickly turned around and saw the blue hedgehog standing there with the biggest smile on his face imaginable.
"By order of Dr.Eggman I have no choice but to kill you in a very brutal and gut splattering way…won't that be fun!" Baboon said extending a huge cannon at Sonic and firing. Sonic immediately jumped out of the way and landed on one of the assembly lines in the aisles.
"Sure, we'll have loads of fun." Sonic said before dodging another blast form the baboon's cannon. The blast completely obliterated the assembly line in the process. Sonic landed on his feet gracefully only to be met with a huge number green energy blasts. Sonic turned around and began running around the store.
"Ah, your speed may be impressing but I have powers that will keep you regretting you have ever met Ba Ba Baboon! We'll all see you in hell very very soon!" The baboon spoke out an apparent rhyme and then slammed his feet in the hard tiles on the floor and began shouting wildly while turning his upper body half around to follow the racing hedgehog's movements like a sprinkler in your backyard. Sonic continued to run on the walls in a complete circle around the store while Ba Ba Baboon kept shouting in a circular motion to try and hit the hedgehog.
"Yeah! Go Sonic!" Tails cheered than ducked when he noticed the line of blasts were heading his way. Sonic soon jumped off the wall and did a homing attack at the baboon. The attack hit him straight across the head and knocked him out of the floor tiles. He flew across the whole store, hitting random shelves in the process, and crashed into the fish tank in the back of the store. The fish tank was much larger than any regular household fish tank plus it contained live lobsters instead of fish as well. The water poured everywhere and the live lobsters all fell to the ground. Baboon looked up and saw Sonic charging at him. He immediately grabbed one of the fallen lobsters and raised it up. Sonic than skidded to a stop.
"What are you gonna do with that? Invite me to dinner?" Sonic laughed.
"Very tempting, but I aint a cannibal. I use the lobsters as bombs you see." Baboon smiled menacingly. Suddenly the still live lobster that was squirming in his hands had a plasma green glow aurora around it. Baboon quickly launched the lobster at Sonic. Thinking as fast as ever Sonic jumped out of the way and the lobster collided with the floor and exploded. The blast was big enough to send Sonic flying across the room until he crashed yet into another shelf.
"Why am I always on the receiving end of the attack first." Sonic moaned as he watched Baboon levitate the other lobsters and blast them all one by one at Sonic. The hedgehog quickly jumped on the next shelf in the next aisle over than preceded to jump to the next and the next as more lobster bombes were thrown at him. Soon Baboon intentionally tossed one at the shelf Sonic was going to be and caused it to obliterate into small pieces. Sonic didn't prepare for this to happen so he ended up landing on his face. Before he could get up Baboon landed behind him and kicked him toward the wall.
"I just love a nice game of kick butt!" Baboon said as Sonic flew toward the wall. The hedgehog almost immediately became aware of his senses once again and turned his body around so he would end up landing gracefully against the wall, which he did.
"Nice try." Sonic merely said as Baboon shot another blast at Sonic. Sonic however quickly bounced off the wall and began jumping madly around the room, as well did Baboon. Tails watched as his idol bounced around the room with the baboon following his same movements only he was shooting green energy blasts at Sonic instead. The fox wondered what it would be like to be the hero one day. Sonic said he could even be better then him one day.
'I wonder if…' Tails thought in his mind. "Sonic I'm coming!" Tails shouted as he ran toward the area where they both seemed to be headed. Tails stood in that area and watched as a blue streak flew past him. "Now!" Tails jumped up and twirled his body over. He then used his feet to launch at the green streak coming his way. Tails then increased the speed of his tails and soon his feet slammed into Baboon. Baboon fell out of the air and onto the hard tile floor. "Yeah I did it!" Tails said in excitement before Ba Ba Baboon's two robot monkey partners grabbed him and pulled him out of the air and onto the ground. Baboon then got up and walked over to the now struggling fox.
"You're lucky. I'd probably kill you if Eggman told me not to." Baboon said.
"What do you mean?" Sonic said from the right. Baboon turned to look at him angrily.
"That's none of your concern." Baboon merely stated.
"Actually it is. When your talking about my best friend it is!" Sonic did another homing attack at the baboon, which took him by surprise. Baboon was struck hard and was sent flying across the room, than landed on the ground near the entrance of the store.
"Well that's too bad because guess what, I'm not going to tell you." Baboon laughed.
"Err! Oh yeah you will." Sonic charged at Baboon than stopped when he heard police sirens.
"Well, well, I believe our time is up. Buh by." Baboon said as he suddenly jumped up in the air and was caught by his two robots. They than took him out of the store by crashing though the ceiling. Sonic stared at it for a little than noticed the police coming in. As soon as they walked in they were immediately shocked to see all of the destruction and mayhem that was caused. They then turned their attention to two figures standing in the middle of the rubble. They all quickly ran toward them when they saw who the blue one was.
"Mr. Sonic the Hedgehog are you alright?" asked one of them.
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry." Sonic said with a look of pure tiredness on his face.
A few minutes later
It seemed like the whole city's police force was here, considering the amount of cops that showed up at the scene. Apparently the people who had escaped the grocery store at the time of the attack called the police right away. Since they were only a few blocks away it didn't take long. Sonic and Tails were now talking to a police officer about the situation.
"So your saying it was a baboon with a metal arm/cannon, a metal leg, and a metal eye who attacked this place?" The cop asked.
"Yup. Must've been one of Eggman's pawns." Sonic said answering the officer's question. He saw the officer write something down on a note pad he was holding than looked at Tails.
"Whose child is this?" The cop asked.
"No one's, he's with me." Sonic said pointing to himself with his thumb.
"Isn't he a bit too young to be a sidekick?" The cop asked pointing the red pen at Tails.
"Trust me, age doesn't matter with this kid." Sonic said while grabbing the quiet fox and giving him a nuggie. All Tails did was smile when he did this. The officer shrugged and walked away.
"Hey Sonic, didn't he notice my two tails?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, I think he did. Why?"
"Well why didn't he hit me or yell at me."
"For the umpteenth time, you're not on that damn island anymore."
"I know…but…I'm just not used to being treated so nicely…sorry Sonic." Tails apologized.
"For what? For being young and slightly confused? You don't have to apologize to me buddy. Just make sure what I said sticks this time." Sonic said.
"Okay." Tails happily said. "Can we go get that ice cream now?" Tails asked.
"Sure lets' go." Sonic grabbed Tails' arm and they both ran off.
That night
"Here's your new bedroom buddy!" Sonic shouted excitedly as he opened the door and reviled a room with a bed, a dresser, and a night light at the side. "Okay it is really a useless room where I would sometimes sleep in by choice some nights but since you're here I guess I go back to having one bed again." Sonic explained. Tails was speechless. He looked around the room over and over and over again but still couldn't believe it. This was his room.
"S-Sonic…I…I…" Tails tried to speak. Tears welded up in his eyes and that's when he just lost it. The fox fell to the floor and started crying happily.
"Tails what's wrong? If you don't like it I can get your something bigger…I think." Sonic said.
"No 'sob' it's not that. Its just 'sob' I…never…this room is…thank you Sonic!" Tails jumped up, grabbed Sonic and pulled him into the hugest bear huge he had ever given.
"No…problem Tails…now could you please…let go of me…" Sonic struggled to breathe. Finally the excited fox let go of the air struggling hedgehog and decided to try out his new bed. Tails ran over to it and just plopped right on top of it. It felt great. It was so soft, so warm, so his. He had a bed, a nice, soft, and warm bed all to himself. It was all thanks to Sonic the Hedgehog, his new best friend.
"This is the greatest bed I've ever lied on…well it's the only bed I've ever lied on but it's still great."
"Huh? The only bed you've ever lied on. Didn't you have beds in that orphan place." Sonic asked completely surprised.
"Well yeah but the orphan owner lady made me sleep on the floor while the others slept in the beds. I guess she thought I wasn't worthy enough for a bed." Tails said sadly.
"Too bad she died before I could give her a piece of my mind." Sonic stated.
"Yeah…well I guess I don't really need to prove anything to her. After all I have you with me." Tails said smiling again.
"Yeah, I bet anyone would choose me over some fat orphan owning prostitute bitch anyway. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Sonic laughed as he put his hands behind his head and was about to exit the room.
"Hey Sonic…" Tails said. Sonic stopped and turned to face Tails.
"Yeah." Sonic merely said.
"…You didn't have to do this you know."
"I know." Sonic merely said. Tails looked up at Sonic with a slight gleam in his eyes. "But I thought you were worth it." Sonic said finally exiting the doorway. He than stepped back and touched the light switch. "You want this on or should I turn it off." Sonic asked.
"…Um…well…I…" Tails started.
"What?"
"I'm sort of afraid of the dark but…I can't get any sleep if the whole light is on." Tails said.
"No problem, that's why this night light is here." Sonic walked up to the night light at the side of the bed and switched it on. Tails immediately smiled and watched as Sonic headed back toward the door. "Good night buddy." Sonic said finally leaving.
"…Good night." Tails said lying on the nice cold pillow. He than pulled the covers over himself and turned to the side where the nightlight was on. He remembered all the events that led to this. Never once in his life did he think he could live so normal and happy. But it was finally coming true. He was living the life of a normal, happy Mobian. Tails yawned a few times before he fell asleep. He was going to have the best dream he had ever had…or so he thought.
In a G.U.N airship hovering over the ocean
"Sector V end route to shattered remains of Westside Island. Do you read me?" asked SmokeStack as he shouted into the communicator.
"Yes sir. On route to search and destroy any and all survivors and to gather any evidence of dark magic around the area." Replied a soldier on the other end.
"Perfect. If that two tailed fox did indeed escape the plan will work perfectly." SmokeStack said into the communicator.
"Yes sir…and that plan is?"
"Kill any and all personal who stand in my way of killing that fox!"
Meanwhile
Raindrops are heard in the background. Feet are stomping into small puddles. Thunder cackles in the sky. He doesn't know where he is or what's going on. He just floats there above the island looking down on those numerous amounts of people with guns in their hands. He doesn't know why they have them so he decides to follow them. Where were they going? More rain comes down and the thunder booms even louder. Something terrible was about to take place. He suddenly stops flying and decides to land. He has reached his destination.
"This place looks so familiar." He says as he walks up to the wooden house just overhead. He sees someone smash the door to the house in. That's when a flash of light brings him inside the wooden house. He looks up and sees a fox woman holding an infant. "W-what's going on?" He asked in a scared voice. That's when he saw the woman shout in sadness as the baby was taken away from her. He got up to try and stop whatever was happening from taking place but it was too late. He heard gunfire after that.
Suddenly it went dark again. He didn't know where he was. How'd he get here? What did he just see? What's going on?
"Hello Miles Prower." Said a voice from behind. He, who was now confirmed as the two tailed fox Miles Prower, turned around and faced a cloaked figure.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Tails asked in a frightened voice.
"I am known as Darkness."
"Darkness?" That name, there was something about that name. He didn't know what but it seemed so familiar. How can that be? He had never heard of him before.
"Yes. What you just witnessed was the dreaded truth of your past." Darkness said. This guy had a silent yet somehow loud voice that sounded neither male nor female. He didn't sound like a demon, or a monster, or any other thing. His voice sounded like…a silent nothing but a loud something. Tails took a few steps back thinking this guy was obviously dangerous.
"M-my past?" Tails said in a whimpering voice.
"Now, now, there is no reason to be afraid. I've come baring visions of the past, present, and future. In order for your right path in the life of a legendary Kitsune to be fulfilled you must first possess the power to see visions of the past while living in the present in order to choose the right future." Darkness said walking closer toward Tails.
"I don't know what you mean." Tails merely said not backing up anymore. He let Darkness approach him and grab his hand.
"Come." As soon as Darkness said that they were back in the Mystic Ruins. They were both standing in a field of nice green grass. The sun was shinning bright and Tails thought he heard the sound of laughter. Darkness let go of Tails' hand and Tails took a few steps forward and saw the people that were playing in the field. He saw Sonic tossing a frisbee toward an orange two tailed fox.
"That's me." Tails said. He saw as the fox he was looking at flew into the air and caught the frisbee. That wasn't the only people he saw. Tails looked around and saw a pink hedgehog in a red dress running toward Sonic with a cheery look on her face. He saw a red echidna laughing at Sonic as he watched the blue hedgehog get chased by the pink one. He saw a rabbit with a blue chao at her side picking flowers. He saw a purple cat with a frog on his head fishing. He saw a crocodile, a bee, and a chameleon chasing each other idiotically. And last he saw a white bat sitting with a black hedgehog on top of a hill looking down on them.
"What's this?"
"This is what will take place in your present day in time." Darkness said. Tails brought a huge smile on his face. He couldn't believe that his life was going to be this good! He was so excited, he couldn't wait for it too happen. Tails was about to run up to them to try and get a closer look at them all playing but that's when the scenery changed again. The sky immediately went blood red, the people that were playing in the field disappeared, as well as the field itself. Tails looked around and saw that they weren't in the Mystic Ruins any longer. Huge piles of ruble lied on the ground along with skeletons and corpses of dead Mobians rotting away in the cracked concrete.
"W-What happened? Where did everyone go?" Tails was as frightened as ever. No he was terrified!
"This is what will take place in the future of Mobius." Darkness said. Tails turned to him in disbelief.
"What!" Tails shouted. He looked around the totally ruined area that happened to be a city. It was Station Square. Tails couldn't believe it. He needed to know something. He hesitated than looked up at Darkness.
"…W-where's Sonic?" Tails asked in a silent voice. Darkness merely pointed toward an area behind Tails. The fox quickly rushed over to that area where Darkness pointed to and looked down. He gasped in fear when he saw it. He was now staring at the rotting corpse of his best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails backed away. Then turned to run. He ran until he rammed into Darkness and fell to the dusty ground.
"Young Miles, this is the future of your Kitusne life-style. You shall single handedly destroy Mobius and travel all across the galaxy to take control of everything. So for tells the prophecy found by the legendary Kitsune warriors and retold to this day by the infamous genius Dr.Eggman." Darkness said.
"Eggman? What does he have to do with this?" Tails asked now on the verge of tears.
"Plenty. There are others who took part in this glorious event too. You shall meet and possibly kill them on your journey to becoming a legendary Kitsune."
"But I don't want to become a legendary Kitsune. I don't want to hurt anybody either, especially Sonic." Tails whimpered again. "It won't happen. I won't let it!"
"Too bad. It has been for told." Darkness pointed up to a pile of rubble and Tails looked up when he saw that Darkness wanted him to look. Tails' eyes widened when he saw a black colored fox, with a purple aurora around him, and nine tails on his body standing on the top of the rock pile. He had a sadistic and evil look on his face. Tails was immediately scared when he saw that face.
"Who…who is that?" Tails asked nervously.
"That's you child." Darkness answered.
"What!" No that's…that's not true…you're lying…get out of my head you bad person!" Tails ran up to Darkness and started kicking at him. Every kick that was delivered seemed to accomplish nothing however.
"Stop that!" Darkness ordered. Tails immediately did what he was told, not wanting to anger this guy. "There is an energy inside of you're body known as the Star ball. It needs to fill with dark energy for this future to take place. For right now it is empty." Darkness explained.
"So. I'll just fill it up with good energy. Than I'll be a good Kitsune." Tails started to cry after he said that. "I just gotta, for Sonic."
"The prophecy doesn't state that you will become a good Kitsune. I am the messenger that was sent to make sure this prophecy will be fulfilled and that is just what will happen. In order for you to even have the slightest chance in becoming a good Kitsune is to collect the seven chaos emeralds. But as I said this probably wouldn't even help you one bit."
"I'll do it than. I'll find those emeralds. If it keeps Sonic alive."
"…Very well. Try to resist your fate as you wish. But I warn you the prophecy will be fulfilled whether you like it or not." Darkness than waved his hand up and an electric purple ball of energy formed in his hands. Tails stared at it horrified than watched as Darkness lashed it out at Tails. The fox let out a huge scream before it came even closer.
"Tails wake up! You're having a nightmare!" Sonic said while shaking the body of the screaming fox. Sonic than smacked him across the face, which he didn't like doing just one bit. The fox suddenly stopped screaming and stared out into space.
"Are you alright buddy?" Sonic asked.
"…"
"Tails?"
"…Chaos emeralds."
"Wha?"
"Chaos emeralds…we need to find those Chaos emeralds! Quickly, before I kill you in the future!" Tails shouted.
"What are you talking about?"
"Some guy named Darkness said I'd turn out to be this evil thing called a Kitsune, and that I'd kill you and everyone on Mobius. I was so scared. I heard footsteps and raindrops and gunfire and…and..." Tails was crying now. Sonic gently pulled the fox into a hug and let him cry over his shoulder. "It was so scary Sonic." Tails continued to cry.
"It'll be alright buddy." Sonic tried to comfort the poor fox but he just kept crying. They sat there for about five minutes before they both heard a huge crash from the living room.
In the living room
"I BA BA BABOON never fail my mission! Come on out hedgehog! I know you're here." Baboon said with his two monkey robots following him into the building. About a second later Sonic and Tails rushed into the living room and saw Ba Ba Baboon standing there with his arm cannon out. "I've come to finish my job. Prepare to die hedgehog!" Baboon said firing his cannon. Sonic grabbed Tails and quickly dodged out of the way of the attack.
"Look this is probably the worst possible time for this crap. Why don't you come back tomorrow." Sonic said.
"I could do that but…I just don't want to." Baboon said lashed another blast at Sonic. Sonic dodged every single one that was launched at him than charged at the baboon.
"You may not be a crummy robot but you will still fall down like one!" Sonic said doing a huge spin dash at the baboon. Ba Ba Baboon anticipated this and immediately pulled out a sword from his back.
"This sword was made and designed by Eggman to slice you apart even if you are doing the spin dash technique." Baboon said.
"Yeah right. Eggface has yet to come up with an invention that could hold off one of my attacks." Sonic said while nearing the baboon. Ba Ba Baboon quickly swung the sword at him and sliced Sonic's chest. The hedgehog trailed back and clutched his chest. Tails went bug eyed when he saw this. He watched as blood dripped from Sonic chest to the floor. Before Sonic could act Ba Ba baboon impaled him in the stomach with a huge punch from his metal arm. Sonic fell forward instead of backward as a means of trying to attack even though he was hurt. The blue hedgehog than fell flat on his face and didn't move.
"Now that's what I call a happy ending." Baboon said before laughing evilly. Tails stared down at Sonic's fallen body. Suddenly the visions of that dream came back. The ruined city, the evil kitsune, and worst of all the corpse of his best friend were all back. Tails stood there and clutched his fists tight. He was feeling a huge amount of anger toward that baboon. He looked down at the floor in anger as he heard the never ending taunting of that baboon go on and on. That's when Tails finally snapped.
"SHUT UP!" Tails looked up with his now blood red eyes and stared at the baboon. Unknowingly to Tails Sonic had just lifted his head up and had heard what Tails just said.
"…Did you just tell me BA BA BABOON…?"
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Tails shouted even more menacingly. "NO ONE DOES THAT TO MY BEST FRIEND AND LIVES!" Tails shouted which immediately got Sonic's attention.
'Did Tails just say…?' Sonic asked in his mind.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha! That's a good one! Yo monkey bots! Take care of this dude for me." Baboon ordered. As soon as he said that the two monkey bots stepped in front of Ba Ba Baboon and held out their cannons at Tails. That's when Tails' fur turned black and he suddenly had a purple aurora around his body. Sonic couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was that dream Tails had more than just a dream? The two monkeys then all of a sudden lashed out at Tails. Tails smiled sadistically.
"Well than…lets see if you think I'm joking after this!" Tails jumped than somehow disappeared. The two monkey robots stopped than realized he was gone. Before they could act one of the monkey robots was sliced into multiple halves and than blew up. The other monkey robot was completely taken by surprise when that happened and turned to run the other way, however was attacked by Tails who reappeared in front of him again. This time Tails launched himself straight through the robot's center, which destroyed him instantly. Ba Ba Baboon stared in amazement as well as Sonic. When the smoke cleared their stood the same black fox only this time his red pupils were gone. His eyes were clear white now. Tails than started to walk closer to Ba Ba Baboon. "You're next." Tails said in a spiteful voice.
"Hold on. You can't do to me what you did to those robots. Unlike them I actually have bones, blood and organs in my body." The scared baboon said backing up.
"Of course I can you fool. The only difference is that there will be a much bigger mess!" Tails launched himself at the baboon and sliced though the baboon's stomach with ease. He than kicked the baboon in the air and jumped up. There he started to slash at his body wildly until blood was splattered all across the floor. Sonic stared at the scene for a while until he saw what was left of Ba Ba Baboon fall from the ceiling to the floor in a huge steaming pile of torn up flesh. Tails landed in front of the Baboons remains then his black fur disappeared. Sonic stood up, ignoring his own pain, and caught the now orange fox that was covered with blood as he fell over. Sonic lied him down on the ground and shook him slightly.
"Tails. Are you awake?" Sonic asked. Tails flickered his eyes open and saw the worried hedgehog hovering over him.
"I…I think so." Tails merely said.
"How'd you do that?" Sonic asked in amazement.
"How'd I do what?" Tails asked back.
"You mean you don't remember?"
"I remember seeing Ba Ba Baboon here than nothing. I must've fainted or something." Tails said than looked at his body. "W-why am I covered with blood!" Tails said starting to freak out.
"It's okay Tails." Sonic reassured. 'This is impossible. A four-year-old fox just shredded a monkey with robot parts into a million pieces and he doesn't remember a thing. What is happening here?' Sonic thought as he picked the fox up and began to carry him toward the bathroom. This was truly a bloodshed day.
