Sonic: see you at the end

Chapter 2 Bitter Reunion

Sonic soon made his way back to Tails after a nice run through town. By then the sun was up fully and his little fox brother was tinkering in his lab. Smiling he walked in not even realizing he wasn't making any noise until "Hey Tails." said kitsune yelled in surprise as he dropped his screw driver "Gosh darnit Sonic." Tails said grabbing his chest "you nearly gave me a heart attack." Sonic stifled a snicker "Sorry didn't mean to startle you." he said Tails rolled his eyes and picked up the scattered tool "sometimes I wonder how your always so quiet." he muttered.

Sonic sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head "I don't really know either.. I guess I wasn't really paying attention." he gave a laugh that had a slight nervous edge to it. Tails raised an eyebrow in confusion but then shrugged it off turning back to his work "well you'd better get ready." Sonic tilted his head ears flopping to the side a little "why?" he asked. Now it was Tails turn to laugh "There's a reunion today remember? Amy was the one who told you." Now Sonic remembered, the pink hedgehog had chased him all over the meadow on one of his runs to give him such information. The annoyed look on her face always made him chuckle.

"Oh right...do i have to where a tuxedo though?" Sonic asked giving a slight pouty face. He hated tuxedos they always seem to suffocate him with a tight collar. Tails chuckled "afraid so Sonic, but dint worry I made sure to get one that's comfortable for you." he said giving a smile. Sonic couldn't resist smiling back "Alright fine I'll wear it, but if anything happens to it that's the last straw." Tails rolled his eyes "fine fine." he said he then turned back around about to say something,but Sonic was already gone leaving Tails alone and confused as to why he hadn't heard him leave.

After using the rest of his spare time to run around Sonic headed back home. Tails had gotten him a light blue tux with a white bow tie which made him smile he knew him too well. It was a perfect fit the collar wasn't tight either, he shook his quills into place and brushed any up turned fur till he looked smooth and a little shiny. "Whelp that's gonna have to do." he muttered checking the invite that was laying on his dresser "now where is this happening... oh at town hall." setting it back down. That's when he froze and a sudden urge made him growl "Darn it its happening again." he grunted quickly shadowing his eyes by looking down "maybe if I walk there it'll where off."

He quickly zipped out the house before Tails noticed and slowly made his way to town hall. Usually it was an easy sprint there but since he was walking it would take him at least an hour. "At least it won't start until later." he muttered now looking up and straight ahead. It was a calm night, there was a full moon out and the stars shown brightly. Usually it wasn't this calm though Eggman loved to try and destroy him on nights like these 'Egghead must be taking a break...finally' Sonic thought but that wasn't what the doctor was doing.

"Computer zoom in camera 63b." he commanded. The giant computer pulled another screen up and zoomed on Sonic's eyes. "Hmmm...Computer zoom in camera x21." again the computer pulled a screen this time showing Sonic laughing. It zoomed in on his teeth "Now zoom s32." the computer zoomed in on Sonic's ears and back. "Ahhh so that's what you are." the doctor muttered sunglasses shining in the dim light of the screen "Computer where is the 'hedgehog' heading now?" Eggman asked "The target is heading over to town hall, there seems to be some celebration happening tonight." it responded. Eggman hummed and started to type in some coordinates "there has got to be a way to AHA!" the doctor cried out hurrying over to the chemistry lab. Grabbing a small vile he poured a strange purple substance into one of his robots. Heading back over to the computer he pressed a button activating the the mech and making it shrink. "This is your target."

Sonic was still slowly making his way to town hall. The urge hadn't settle yet which worried him a little. He had not gottenfar when he heard the familiar sounds of a motorcycle. Quickly he looked down shadowing his eyes as Shadow came by "Well this is new the blue speedster isn't speeding." he said not being able to see Sonic roll his eyes "Shouldn't you have been there by now?" "I'm just taking my time." Sonic answered "It's a nice night I wanna enjoy it." Shadow gave a ghost of a smirk "have it your way faker but im not going to get pummeled with a hammer." with that the ebony hedgehog sped off. Sonic sighed in relief and looked up again the moon light reflecting off his eyes making them brighter...or were they glowing. He turned a corner on one of the streets now only a few minutes away from town hall, from the distance he was at he could easily see everyone's cars and bikes parked in front of the city hall, even the X-Tornado. Suddenly Sonic winced and slapped the back of his neck "Ow...stupid misquitoes. " he muttered taking his down he gave a confused huff when he saw the small weird purple substance the bug had left.

He shook off the confusion though finally making it to town hall. Luckily the urge had finally faded and he kept his head up as he entered. When Amy said it was going to be big she wasn't kidding, there were a lot of people for one thing and tons of activities, for crying out loud the women got a dance floor with color changing tiles. The people froze slightly and turned as they heard the giant doors slam shut making their attention land on the blue hedge. Sonic's ears turned backwards in bashful position and he quickly walked over to the side as he avoided everyone's eyes. He could here them whispering thanks to his unusually good hearing "I've never seen him dress up before." one said "oh my he's really handsome." said another "handsome he's gorgeous just look at his well brushed fur." a young girl commented "aww he's cute when he's shy" said an older women. Sonic gave a faint whine and walked a little faster his ears flattened themselves which made some women giggle.

Finally they returned their attention back to each other and the room was back to being chatty and loud. "Sonic you made it." cried a familiar high pitched voice Sonic looked up ears returning back to their position as a pink hedgehog hog came dashing towards him. She skidded to a stop right in front of him and gave a smile. For once she wasn't wearing her normal pink dress, it was white and decorated with roses, be head band was also white to match, she was wearing a pearl necklace and instead of her boots she was wearing red high heels. Sonic smiled back "this is really nice Amy...but where did you get the money to do all this?" he asked Amy giggled "oh I borrowed some from your account." she replied nonchalantly. "YOU WHAT?!" Sonic asked rather loudly "oh calm down Sonic I only borrowed 2 million." she said shocking Sonic even more. He stammered "but A-Amy why..how." "well Tails told me you security number after a bit of persuading really I should be shocked i didn't know you had over 6 million dollars in your savings account." That caught attention and again the citizens turned back to the blue hedgie with surprised and confused faces.

Sonic smiled and laughed and pushed her over to a semi private section. "Amy that was private information you really should've asked me first." he stressed "I worked hard for all that." Amy rolled her eyes "Alright alright mister up tight." she said putting her hands on her hips and bouncing them to one side making Sonic's eye twitch involuntarily. He then groaned and shook his head "you know what its fine." he said before walking away ringing as he caught a couple making out 'I'll just change my number...for the fourth time in the row' he stressed in his mind. Gagging he quickly left disappearing in the crowd as Amy quickly broke them up with a couple yells and the swing of a hammer.

He didn't get far when the urge suddenly returned stronger than before. He had little time to react as he was yanked back "about time you got here we were just about to play a game of pool." Knuckles said pulling the blue hedgie over to the green table. Sonic mentally cursed there was no way he could wiggle out of this one. Silver, Shadow, and Blaze were also there pool sticks ready. Sonic grunted as Knuckles shoved the pool stick into his hand. He tried to hurry and put them back in his pockets but too late they saw "woah Sonic your not wearing your gloves." Knuckles said giving a wide smirk as he saw his friends peach colored hands. Silver looked at Shadow who shrugged confused Blaze just shook her head, Sonic looked away from the echidna which gave more of a reason to tease him as he tried to put them back in his pockets.

"What are you hiding them foranyway?" Knuckles asked. He didn't wait for an answer yanked his arm again. Sonic yanked and pulled against the echidna's grip but he was too strong. Knuckles snickered as he looked at Sonic's hand his fingers were a little thin thinner than his friends that's for sure and they were slender like "Sonic has women hands!" Knuckles mused laughing. Sonic growled and yanked his hand back shoving it in his pocket "no i don't. " he muttered Knuckles laughed more "oh come on don't try to hide it." he said trying to pull his hands back since the others didn't get to see "Stop it Knuckles!" Sonic said annoyed as he struggled with the echidna "come on show them.."Knuckles teased Shadow Silver and Blaze watched this play out but were very surprised by what happened next. Fed up with Knuckles antics he turned looking dead at him as he hissed like some kind of feral cat. Knuckles immediately stopped and let him go as his hiss turned into a deep growl.

"Woah easy there I was just kidding around." Knuckles said putting his hands up in surrender. Sonic turned away from him and shadowed his eyes finding no use in hiding his hands anymore. "Whatever lets just get this over with." he muttered Knuckles turned to the others who just shrugged they were just as confused as Knuckles, but they played anyway. Shadow went first and broke the triangle of balls however none of them made it in a hole which made him curse. Sonic was up next, he shivered a little the urge hadn't left instead it was growing stronger he did his best to cover it and luckily no one noticed.

Sonic leaned on the table placing the stick right in between his middle and ring finger . It was a very strange way to position it, but no one objected. Silver snickered and leaned over to Shadow and whispered in his ear "he's never going to make on playing like that." Shadow didn't really say anything he was too much in thought 'really his hands aren't women hands.' he thought 'their just slender' Sonic's ear flicked as he heard this and he couldn't help but smirk. He hit the white ball right in the center making it ram into the yellow ball it went straight into corner pocket, but it didn't stop there somehow the ball continued hhaving being hit towards the right it hit the purple ball next making it land in the middle right pocket, after this it banked left and hit the red ball into a left corner bottom corner pocket. A triangle hit. Silver was shocked Knuckles was confused Blaze was impressed and Shadow just shook his head.

"What the how did you do that?" the white hedgie asked totally in awe. Sonic chuckled and stood the stick by his side like some kind of staff as he shrugged "Lucky shot?"he said Knuckles growled competition gleaming in his eyes "Damn right it was no one can pull a triangle shot." with that he took his turn yet he only landed one ball much to his disappointment and anger. Blaze also only landed one, but she wasn't really affected by the loss. Shadow had decided to just watch from now on curious on how the faker had made such a shot. His ruby eyes followed every movement the blue hedgie made but he couldn't see anything that could help the blue speedster cheat and another problem was that he had his eyes shadowed. He was always looking down, this made the streaked hedgehog wonder 'what are you hiding?'

Finally it was close to end game. It was Sonic's turn and only the black 8 ball was left,but it was in a hard spot. It was stuck right in between the top left and right pockets up against the wall. Knuckles snickered "You miss this Sonic you loose there's no way you can get it in a pocket." he mused. Sonic just smirked and got behind the ball, this was when Shadow watched carefully. The faker was acting to calm usually in games like these he would make some kind of witty banter and get cocky, but he hadn't said anything the whole game. He followed his movements as the hedgie leaned over the table. Sonic placed the stick this time between his index and middle finger, but it was bent over to the side. Sonic tensed moving the stick back and forth as he let out a very low growl. No one heard it but it made the floor vibrate slightly. Then he struck the 8 ball went spinning from Sonic's awkward side hit. It bounced off the wall spinning at an unbelievable speed as it landed in the left corner pocket on the other side of the table.

Silver and Knuckles looked at each other jaw dropped then looked back at the pocket the ball landed than at Sonic who was leaning against the wall eyes still shadowed with a wide grin. "Looks like I win." he said putting the stick in the rack " thanks for the game." with that he walked off much to Knuckles annoyance, but what could you say he was a sore looser. Sonic put his hands back in his pockets before anyone else saw. For the rest of the party no one bothered him much,Tails had ran up to him and handed him food a few times and everytime Sonic wouldn't eat it. After a third time the kitsune gave up and resorted to giving him a drink which Sonic couldn't refuse. Fighting off the urge was exhausting him and making him have an uncontrollable thirst. However a certain green counter part had walked past him his shoulder knocking the cup out his hand spilling red wine all over his tux. Sonic growled crushing the cup in one hand as Scourge turned to face him "Sorry blue didn't see you there." he said with a smirk, he was a little uneasy since he couldn't see his eyes but that didn't stop him from tormenting his blue counter part. Sonic growled deeper "Tails just got this you know." he said angrily Scourge chuckled "than be sure to give him the dry cleaning bill." that did it in a flash Sonic grabbed the green hedgie by his tie and pulled him to his level. His green paled a little as he saw his eyes "Your gonna pay for that." he growled but just when he was about to raise his other hand "SONIC STOP!" said hedgehog turned in time to see his friends around him. "Put him down." Tails said Sonic looked back at the terrified hedgehog before dropping him taking a few steps back. "S-Sorry Scourge." he muttered Scourge gave a nod but still backed away slightly.

"You've been acting very strangely faker." Shadow said his arms folded over his chest "We're starting to worry about you are you alright?" Blaze asked. Sonic looked around frantically the whole room had grown quiet and everyone was looking at him. That's when the urge grew too much Sonic growled suddenly before groaning, his body was on fire and he couldn't catch his breath. He looked at his hands, but quickly hid them as black claws began to develop. He looked downward as his eyes flashed orange then red then green while his pupil spasmed. The room was spinning and his ears went into over drive to where he was hearing every heart beat in the room.

Tails stepped forward to try and help his brother calm down but Sonic yanked his arm away from him yelling "Don't touch me stay away from me!" with out looking at them. They were really worried now and again they tried to sooth him, but then Sonic suddenly got up and ran. Knuckles managed to grab him by his shoulders and shook him a little "Sonic what is wrong with you?!" the echidna asked but Sonic managed to wiggle out of his grasp accidentally scratching him in the process. Knuckles looked at his arm then at Sonic who was as just as terrified as he was shocked. He held his head as urge grew stronger making it hurt. With a whine he ran out again bursting through the large doors and out into the streets. It was raining marunning harder for the hedgehog to see but he kept running lightning flashing and thunder booming. How did he not hear this inside the builears? Sonic yelped as one thunderclap was too loud and hurt his ears.

Covering them for a brief second as he froze screaming. His head was pounding his chest was flaring in pain with every beat of his heart. Finally Sonic burst through the door's of home and made a beeline to his room where he closed and locked the door accidentally waking a certain rabbit and her companion. He was still breathing very fast as he looked in the mirror, his fangs were growing longer with every passing second, and his eyes kept changing color as his pupil tightened to a slit. He screamed in pain the urge becoming unbearable as he grabbed his head. He started thrashing and lashing out at everything, he knocked over his dresser and broke his mirror, he left claw marks all over the wall and tour his mattress.

Tails and the others arrived as these events happened. The kitsune set cream and her chao down in the living room while Knuckles tried to get the hedgehog out of his room. He could here Sonic's screams of pain and the crashing of furniture, but he couldn't get in. Sonic fell to the floor gagging slightly as he dug his now large black claws into the carpet, his tail grew wringer and lashed around while his bones painfully repositioned themselves, his fangs grew large and hung out his mouth. "D-Damnit." Sonic cursed "I-I'm sorry Tails I c-can't control myself a-any longer." his eyes faded and darkened to a blood red as he fell silent only releasing a menacing growl.
