Wow, this stiry is getting almost lengthy, I hope you people are still enjoying it so please review.
Also I don not own Sonic, Sega or any characters relating to either of those two. Enjoy and critique.
Tails was keeping pace with Sonic, of course Sonic wasn't going even half speed, but nonetheless he was astounded Tails was keeping up, and all without breaking a sweat, Sonic thought back, come to think of it he had never seen the young fox sweat, it was weird, he pushed the thought to the back of his mind and kept running, there were Mobian's to save. Tails was focused on running, he didn't go all out either, but his speed would easily shock anyone who was not a blue hedgehog, he hadn't gotten a chance to rest, he could feel adrenaline in his veins, his fangs were just barely poking out with his mouth closed, and his claws were starting to wear through his pair of white gloves.
Back in the fall back area Sally had quickly organized a five man team to get into the hover car and they were already heading for the collection ship, she would likely get there a few seconds after Sonic and Tails and hopefully keep them from becoming small piles of irradiated dust. The woods whipped by and Sally looked at the other four members of her troop, she had decided to take her combat specialists, not the regular team she used for infiltration missions but two large Bears who would constantly refer to themselves as Da Bears, a minx with a large sniper rifle, and a large almost raptor like lizard named Rex, Rotor had insisted on coming but she had denied him, she was going to protect Sonic and she was expecting a firefight.
The blue and orange duo burst through the clearing to the sound of robots marching on the grass and all manner of hover ships in the air, one thing however was missing, Mobian's, not a single one visible, and then a voice like scraping nails came from nowhere and the atmosphere seemed to darken. "Well hello their hedgehog, and I see you brought the fox brat as well, no matter, I have surprise for you hedgehog that I think you will not enjoy, it goes something like this." The grinding of gears and the smell of oil filled the air as the collection ship shed armour bits, and pieces until it no longer resembled a collection ship, but a very large missile and laser armed war ship, there was no lull or space of seconds before it fired, the single function in its primitive mechanical mind about to be realized, extermination of the hedge-pig. Sonic stood paralyzed, the barrage filled his vision, the missiles seemed to stretch endlessly and the laser fire rocketed towards him, it was too fast, even for the fastest thing alive, he just stood, a scream very faint in his ears as he felt a push on his stomach, he was flying backwards and where he had stood was Tails, his heart filled with fear, his little brother was about to die, and he had just stood there caring about himself.
With Sonic safely away Tails stood in the barrages path, seeing Sonic in danger had pushed him over the edge, his fangs were fully elongated, and his claws had shredded his gloves, his eyes stood blood red and if he wasn't in the shadow of the machine that had just fired he would be feeling the sun in all its stinging agony. He moved at full speed, he whirled his twin tails together and sped forwards at full vampiric speed, the sound barrier boomed loud, as he passed out of the way of the lethal barrage and into the sunlight, Sonic had seen the explosion directly where his brother was standing and tears welled in his eyes as he charged the ship running up the side of a tree to land successfully on its top. It was reduced extraordinarily quickly, a spin dash through a weak point and he spun all about in its mechanical innards tearing it to bits before escaping over the top and falling down seconds before it exploded into a fireball as he fell to the ground, hot and angry tears over the loss of his brother filling his face. On the edge of the field where burning debris continued falling was Sally and her team, all silent after witnessing the death of Tails, it was then that a scream was heard, an extremely pained scream and looking to its source they saw a small orange fox rolling in the sunlight as if on fire, smoke rising from him and his screams echoing in the clearing.
Sonic heard it to and hope rose in his chest as he sped to his brothers side, but when he got their he could barely make out his little bro, his mouth was wide and fangs jutted out, and claws dug into the ground as tears of pain rolled down his face, Sonic didn't know what to do, the screams had words in them, and being this close Sonic could make them out as he bent down and picked up the fox in his hands. "SuNN…. Get,,.it.. AWAUHHGG, get me out of it!" He walked to the shadows of the nearby trees as and placed him in them and his screams became whimpers as Sally and her team joined alongside them. The five stood around the trembling ball of orange fur as Sally was the first to speak. "Tails, what's happened to you, you look…different." The minx said through clenched teeth, a hateful glare cast directly at Tails "I know what he is, this little bastards a vampire, hell just look at him, and the fact that he was burning in sunlight, hell we should put him down before he kills all of us." Sonic turned casting his own angry glare as Tails breathing became more regular. "Now just wait a minute, I've known my bro for years and he's been in the sunlight thousands of times, there is no way he's some bloodsucking monster, think, if he was why hasn't he killed us all long before now, he isn't a vampire, don't be so stupid." Tails voice piped in, quiet and sad "I'm sorry Sonic"
Sonic saw it in his eyes, he felt his life collapse in on itself, it did make sense, he couldn't accept it, he wouldn't, he was his brother and he couldn't believe that he was a monster. The bears where whispering back and forth wondering if vampires were real, Rex was quiet and the Minx glared daggers and Tails, head bowed, Sally spoke up, tears in her eyes as she spoke. "Nichole, run diagnostic on Tails" "Sally, diagnostic is unnecessary, Tails was already identified as a vampire yesterday at approximately 2:00 PM." Gasps were heard, the truth was presented, and Tails tried to stand but the barrel of the minx's sniper rifle was place directly to his temple kept him from fleeing, Sonic fell on his knees as tears went down Sally's face, the Minx's spoke up "Well, what do we do, kill him here, or have a trial, I personally say we put him down right now, but it is your call Princess" Tails spoke up again, voice still sad, but a hint of nervousness at the guns position on his head as he spoke out. "It's true, I really am...a vampire, but I would never hurt you, I just wanted to help, Sonic, Sally you have to believe me, I just wanted to help." The minx snorted but the words brought fresh tears to Sonic's eyes as he turned to his former brother, his voice colder then Tails had ever heard it. "You lied all this time, pretended and manipulated us, hell according to Nichole someone even knew and didn't tell anyone, how many people have you killed, why, would you do this to us, your….a monster."
Tails felt tears stream down his face, his brother thought he was a monster, the minx wanted to kill him, his eyes fell on Sally and her look told Tails she felt the same as Sonic, he was going to die here if he didn't do something, he didn't want to die. Even if he wasn't alive, he wasn't dead, he flicked his tails as fast as he could and moved at the same time, the minx's sniper rifle was knocked away for a fraction of a second, but in that time Tails had fled into the dark woods as fast as he could go, he broke the sound barrier and he continued on, he felt cold inside, cold and dead, exactly what he really was he thought bitterly.
He heard a second sonic boom and saw the familiar blue blur that once promised safety charging at him a look of anger on his face, Tails still had tears in his eyes but he turned and stopped, he glared at Sonic, he felt hate, a seething hate that his own brother could betray him so easily, he fought so hard day and night to keep from hurting his so called friends, but in this instant he could no longer see the point of it. "If you think I'm a monster, then I'll show you a MONSTER!" Tails charged at full speed claws outstretched, and the unexpectedness caught the hedgehog off guard, a deep crimson scar ran across his stomach turning the grass under him a deep red as well as patches of his blue fur became a sickening purple. Tail's was hungry, the blood, it was already loose he reasoned, he had been betrayed by him, so what would it hurt if he killed him, finally gave in to the monster inside and let him gulp down Sonic's blood, a thought came, the time in the hot spring, the place that was just their secret, he turned and fled, he had been a brother, once. Sonic lay bleeding on the ground, the wound wasn't particularly deep, but blood was welling from it and the scent hit his nose and he gagged, chunks of his fur were caught in the blood and Sonic lay their a terrible feeling in his gut, why hadn't he killed him, if Tails was just the monster why didn't he kill him. "Tails" he whispered out tears forming in the corners of his eyes "I'm sorry to" he blacked out just as the other caught up and began carrying him back for medical treatment.
