No Brotherly Love

Chapter 6: An Old Friend Is A New Enemy

Sonics POV:

I felt my stomach turning. Something was off. If Amy was here, then where was everyone else?

Me and Amy decided to take a small nap on that rather uncomfortable table. But with her, I fell asleep in seconds.

I sat up and felt Amy on top of me. I smiled and slowly got up.

I heared giggling earlier. It had to be Cream. I'd recognize that childish little 'He-he-he' anywhere.

As I opened the door out of the room, I could hear footsteps. I put my ear to the door and--BANG!

The door smashed my nose to pieces and it felt like I went through the wall.

"Amy! AMY!" I pried the door off of my body and peered to the side of it to see Amy being shaken awake by.....Cream.

I knew it was Cream!

I'd of had a tiny celebration amongst myself but the entire room started to shake.

"Amy come on! He's attacking the base!" Cream ranted.

Wait--BASE? I looked towards the direction Cream came in from and saw hi-tech computers and people running to the nearest exit.

My eyes widened and all you could hear is me quietly saying,n "Uh-oh..."

I ran to Amy and joined Cream in screaming.

"AAAMMMYYY!" Me and Cream shouted at the same time.

"Wha--?" Before Amy could gain her senses, I picked her up by the waist with one arm and grabbed Creams hand with the other.

I began to run at sonic speed, following the general direction people were running.

There was a VERY high stair case. I may be able to run at sonic speed, but stairs are still a pain in the keester.

I ran upwards.

When I got half way I stopped and began to inhale and exhale rapidly. Then suddenly I ran again.

I heared a beep. Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! It's a frikkin' bomb.

The doors was just ahead. Come on! Come on!

BANG!

The fire was ascending up the stairs.

I opened the door just in time and leaped as far as I could.

I landed flat on my face while Amy and Cream had escaped my grasp and rolled sideways in two different directions.

I looked up to Amy and Cream, who were groaning while getting on their feet.

I rolled on my back and started to laugh. I then put my hand to my forehead and exhaled one last time before getting up.

I was walking towards Amy when I heared screaming coming from back inside the building.

The people inside there were.....burning alive.

I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth in anger and carried on to Amy and now Cream.

I could see they were in shock. They had blank, emotionless faces until Cream started weeping.

Time seemed to slow down.

I carried on walking until Amy pointed behind me and started screaming, "Sonic! Lookout!"

I stooped, looked behind me. I saw hundreds of needles coming at me. By instinct I rolled out of the way...but not without taking a hit.

I stopped rolling, looked to my arm, saw the needle and pulled it out just before Amy screamed, "Don't--!"

I looked to her puzzled and then heard a laugh so...familiar.

I looked behind me, and out of the flames came...Tails.

He was smiling and he seemed different.

"Tails?" I said.

"Down you pest!" He roared. He then pulled a metallic hand from under his scruffy cloak.

"AAGGHH!" I screamed as I was launched backwards and onto the ground.

I stared in disbelief to Tails. "Tails! What the hell are you--AGH!"

I was surrounded by some sort of red aura. All my memories, all my...nightmares started to race through my mind.

"Tails! Why are you--AGH!" The red aura changed to blue and I was then elevated into the air and was being choked.

"The great Sonic The Hedgehog, beaten by his always loyal, always naive sidekick. How does it feel...brother?" He was speaking in such a sinister tone.

"Tails stop!" Shouted Amy as she started to run towards Tails at full speed.

"I'M NOT TAILS! I don't know who I am!" He screamed with a hint of sadness in his tone.

I fell flat on my arse as Tails' hand shifted to Amy. She was then surrounded by a purple aura and started screaming.

"AMY!" I shouted as I began to run to her.

"Whoa! Whoa there bro!" Tails yelled at me before bringing out his other hand, aimed it to me and I was then again at his mercy.

I was surrounded by a green aura and then I felt as if my skin was melting.

Cream was in shock, standing there, watching what was happening.

"Come on Creamie! Join the fun!" He screamed to her, smirking while he did so.

She took a few steps back until--BANG!

Me and Amy were released. I stared towards Tails. He was bent forward, bleeding.

He looked up with a sinister grin.

"C'ya soon bro..." Was the final thing he said before he disappeared in a bright light.

"Shadow? Knuckles? What are you--nevermind! We have to help Amy!" I turned around to where Cream was.

She was indeed talking to Shadow and Knuckles. Shadow had some sort of red holographic eyepiece on his left eye, he was also holding a hi-tech sniper rifle.

Knuckle was wearing a bandana and had trinkets/tribal necklaces wrapped around his left hand. He was also carrying a slightly rusty shotgun in his left hand.

I then looked to Amy, who was now on the ground unconscious. I ran to her side, shortly joined by Knuckles, who put his hand to his ear, which I learned had an earpiece.

"Echo Base 2, Commander Rose is down. I repeat, Echo Base 2, Commander Rose is down. Had a run in with Twin-Fox, need immediate extraction."

I looked up to Shadow who was just glaring down at me, as if in disapproval.

I then looked to Cream who had her hands on her head, weeping.

I stared back down to Amy, a helicopter could be heard approaching.

I clasped my hand around Amy's and weakly said, "Hold on Amy, you're going to be fine. Hold on Amy, just...hold on"
