No Brotherly Love
Justice
Sonic's POV:
It'd been two weeks since I stopped the creatures being created, since I had killed Rouge. I had been on the run from my father, G.U.N and Tails ever since. I hadn't seen Shadow in the short time which had passed, but it was probably for the best that I hadn't. After all, he's my son. If he got dragged into all this, then I'd have never forgiven myself, I'd have been alone again. It couldn't be explained how much I was missing Alicia, how much I was missing Amy. And my daughter, I missed her as well. I wanted the chance to have my family with me, a chance to protect them all at once. But instead I was in the situation of having to stay away from one to keep them safe, and searching, even better to say praying to find the others. My mind was hardly sane anymore. It was filled with thoughts that could describe hate, anger, sadness, and even guilt. It is safe to say that guilt is a powerful motivation, and redemption an even greater one. The guilt told me that it was my fault I couldn't save them couldn't protect them from my enemies, while redemption told me to move forward, to find them and save them from evil. It was without question that my mental health was decreasing, that I was losing the plot. All that had happened over the past months, it'd all been down to me in some way. I was the reason Tails had gone mad. I was the reason G.U.N was tearing down the city. I was the reason my father was destroying this city, was I not?
My thoughts of guilt and pain were shortly lived when a G.U.N helicopter was heard just above me. They had found it as well, Tails' base of operations. The night sky was filled with dust, the temperature warm, and thousands of screams and commands could be heard. The creatures now posed little threat. Tails' power had also dwindled due to continuous, barbaric attacks from G.U.N. As for G.U.N, they had more soldiers and hi-tech gizmos than before. But they didn't know something I did, that Tails wasn't IN the base, but instead UNDER it. That's why I was where I was, inside a torn down building, waiting for one side to attack the other and then, when Tails' forces were busy, I'd sneak into this secret passage which was hidden in this structure, and take out Tails. I didn't just want him to take his life and end the war between him and G.U.N, but also find out if he knew anything about where Alicia and my daughter were.
When the thunderous sound of explosions and the echoing roar of machine guns were at their highest, I decided it was the perfect time to begin my little secret op. The entrance to this secret tunnel wasn't that magnificent, it was, basically, a metal hatch, kept from opening by a simple lock. Using my natural strength, breaking it was simple and easy. After I forced the hatch to open, I was greeted with the sight of a long set of ladders, descending into darkness. Now, as most people would be, I was a little hesitant about continuing with this route. But, I decided I'd take pitch black over getting shot or gutted on a battlefield any day. And so, after much thought and quarrelling with myself, literally, I eventually started to climb from the top to the bottom of the ladders.
Once I finished my little trip, both physically and mentally, down the ladders, my ears picked up on the sound of sludge meeting a solid, the solid being my foot, not anything else (though you'd think so with how scared I was getting). The truth was I was scared. Scared of Tails? No. Scared of G.U.N? No. Scared of my father? No. I was scared of the decision I'd have to make, that I'd have to kill Tails or die instead. In all honesty, I was probably hoping that the second option is how it would turn out, but I knew, deep down, that I had to stop Tails.
I found myself walking through the huge tunnel, arguing with myself none stop...until I nearly walked face first into a giant metallic door. Now, after facing egghead hundreds of time before, I kinda grew used to big, metal doors, but this one took the cake for most intimidating. Why, you ask? Simple, it had painted in giants words along the front 'Welcome Sonic'. Yeah, if that didn't freak me out, the next bit did. The door gave of a deafening creak and slowly opened. The most disturbing part was what was on the other side. Right there, in front of me, was Tails, a confident grin across his face.
"Hello, bro!" He called. Not a second later, he brought his robotic arm to my head and, before I could react, let off some sort of energy which caused me to go flying backwards. I landed with a huge thud on the floor. I was about to get up, but Tails made a dash for me, grabbing my neck with his hand. "I'll take that." He laughed, his robotic hand sticking something into my neck. I could tell it was some sort of needle implemented into his arm, but the part that confused me was that I suddenly felt drained, like the life was being sucked outta me. It seemed like my body wasn't going to stand for it, because, without my control, my arm reached up, my hand clasped around Tails' neck and brought him up in the air before slamming him to the ground. Tails just laughed and again shot that strange force, causing me to fly upwards. I went through the ceiling of the tunnel, and god knows what else, because the next thing I knew, my eyes could see the grey and clouded sky. I landed on dirt and, with blurred vision; I could see men and robots going at each other. Yes, I was thrust from the underground right onto the battlefield. Oh the joy!
"There he his! Open fire!" I heard someone shout. 'Please, don't let that be for me.' I begged in my mind. Luckily, it was aimed at Tails, who was now walking up to me, most likely coming from the hole he made using my body.
"C'mon Sonic! Don't you wanna know where Amy is?" He asked loudly.
"You know!" I shouted, turning into my dark self once more and charging at him. I grabbed him by the throat and jumped in the air.
"That's more like it!" He cackled. He kicked me off of him, so that I was alone in mid air, or so I thought. A jet came flying by, almost taking my head off, but I managed to dodge it. The jet dropped bombs on the unsuspecting robots below, and, out of the flames, Tails emerged, with that sadistic grin on his face once more. His speed in the air was unreal, almost as fast as I was on the ground, if not faster. He continuously made quick hits at me with some sort of blade, cutting my flesh. But then, like before, my body took over. When he tried to stab at me again, I grabbed the blade, turned it around so it went straight through his chest.
"That's strike two, little man!" I shouted. His face became one of terror as I grabbed him by the throat once more and brought him with me to the ground. The impact made a small crater, with a bleeding Tails in the middle of it and me standing proudly above him. He aimed his arm at me once more in a desperate attempt to be rid of me. I crushed the damn thing with my food, causing him to shriek in fear. "Strike three." I growled. He brought his remaining hand above his head, trying to shield himself.
"Please!" He begged. "Don't do it!"
I grabbed him by his neck again and asked as politely as I could at the time (as if), "Where is Amy?"
"I don't know!" He yelped.
I brought my face to his. "Then why did you say what you said before?"
"Because I didn't plan on losing!" He answered, closing his eyes in hope that I'd spare him.
I let go of his neck and started to walk away. "Humph. You're nothing, are you Miles? You had so much potential, but instead you just threw it all away, killing anyone who ever stood in your way." I told him.
He cried softly. "Sonic...I...I..."
Before I could turn to face him, a gunshot could be heard. I turned around and saw the Tails lifeless on the dirt, blood surrounding him, a bullet hole through his skull. I looked behind him and saw the fox agent with a smoking gun.
I glared at her and shouted, "YOU BITCH!" I began to charge at her, but before I could reach her, she brought her hand to her ear and muttered something into her earpiece. And in that moment, time slowed down. In the distance, an explosion could be seen. And explosion with blue flames, or were they flames? At the time, I had no idea. The explosion was faster than the speed of light, so it reached me in less than a second. It covered everyone on the battlefield, but rather than turning to dust, our bodies turned to particles which slowly disappeared.
'W-What is this?' I asked myself. And just before my whole body vanished, I heard a distant robotic voice call, "Sonic?"
My eyes shot open, for I recognised the voice. "M-M-Metal?"
THE END?

Cya all then! :D There is a reason why there will be a sequel, but you'll find out then. And I know this first story felt a bit rushed and a bit 'What the hell? This guys making it up as he goes along!' Yeah, I did, but there is still a reason for everything that's happened and it all ties together, so it's not just random. The second story will be longer, better, more action packed, more planned out and will not feel rushed and random! I hope you all give it a read coz it's a fresh new story that's a sequel to my most popular and most reviewed story. I hope you enjoyed this story, and hope you read the new one!
