Here comes another chapter of my long awaited (not) fiction. I realized whilst writing this that I don’t know why I’m writing it, no clue. I don’t want to be an author and looking back at my work I don’t think that’s really a career choice currently. I’ve just kind of set myself a task here and for once in my life I’m going to complete something which isn’t a videogame.
I also found my muse, a mixture of deviant art stuff (which I’ve mentioned) and for some reason sad sounding Japanese music.
Anyway remember REVIEW!!!! I need them to live.
---------------------------------------------------
The Chaos Control hadn’t brought them far, he guessed this was a forest of some kind, although he had only heard them described to him. It was dark here though and he liked the darkness, scowling he remembered the creature he had brought. He was tempted to throw it down and simply leave it but its fur felt surprisingly good against his own. Unsurprising, I have not touched another creature in a long time. Impossibly tall trees were all around him now, the branches concealing all kinds of small animals, he could smell them.
He located a patch of cushiony long grass under a tree to put the fuzz ball, as he had come to think of it, and placed it down gently.
He looked at it properly now for the first time. It was a sunset orange colour, and male. Probably. It didn’t seem to possess breasts, and if his guess at his age was right if he was female he would have them. Besides that it just seemed to smell male.
He could not see his eyes as it was still unconscious but he carried on examining the smaller creature. Whilst its main fur was the yellow-orange its stomach and chest were white and branched out to the sides, rather like a bigger version of his own chest tuft. Out of its rump sprouted two tails with white ends, whilst this seemed unusual to him he reasoned that he had never seen one of these species before so he did not know their basic biology. This seemed to be a healthy, fit specimen. If a bit young, from now on this would be the template for others like it.
He wondered how good its sense of smell was, humans had a fairly poor sense but this was most assuredly not human. Being more animal like perhaps it had a better sense than humans.
It was shivering, it must be cold. Quickly he jumped up to a branch of a nearby tree and drove a chop straight through it. Easily lifting the large branch he chopped into smaller pieces and placed them in a pile near to the orange one. A small Chaos Spear attack lighted them and the fuzzy male started to warm again.
He could be seen as handsome, if I’m any judge of this sort of thing.
He retreated back into the shadows, making sure to keep upwind so the two-tailed thing couldn’t smell him, and watched over it. He fainted last time he saw me and I don’t want to scare him more.
--------------------------------------
It was dark, so dark. The embers of a fire were nearby and a stack of logs were next to them, putting the two together the area around him began to light up. He now had a warm fire and a circle of light surrounded by the deep shadow of the forest.
What happened to me? I was in that basement. The weapon got lose! I fainted, and I think I heard something about an explosion or detonation. That thing! It must have taken me out with it. If Sonic or Sally rescued me I’d be in Knothole by now.
Looking around more he was surprised to find himself in some soft long grass. Although it had long been trampled flat by his sleeping it was obvious someone or something had made an effort. Was it that demon thing I saw?
Using his fox senses he began to smell for it but found only where it had been. It had carried him for a short time it seemed because its scent was on him partly and he could tell where it had snapped a branch of a tree for firewood.
He stood up in his light circle and stared into the shadows all around him, remembering that the creatures eyes were visible last time and may give a clue as to its location. He wanted to ask it why it helped him.
----------------------------------
He could see the orange one’s eyes now. They were a beautiful shade of sky blue, not that he had ever seen the sky. But this colour was what the sky should be like he thought to himself, and if come sunrise it didn’t look like this then it wouldn’t be living up to expectations.
He noticed that the tails seem to twitch and move independently and subconsciously and they were currently moving up and down, side to side in a slow flicking manner.
He was turning in his circle, probably looking for him.
------------------------------------
Right there, in the depths of the shadows just beyond the light. Two red eyes floated there, he wondered how long he had been watching him, it gave him the creeps but now he was more curious than scared. This thing had gone to the trouble of saving him, bringing him here and finding him a bed with en-suite fire. It didn’t seem logical that he’d kill him now, hurt him maybe, but kill him no.
Still he was nervous. He tried to greet this new….ally?
“Ur….he..hello? Who are you? Please”
Shadow had certainly not expected this, he had expected him to be afraid and attempt to run. Or perhaps to scream or even faint again.
“Please…can you talk?” the orange creature was very nervous “my names Miles Prower but people call me Tails”. Shadow decided to talk to this “Tails” creature, It might be interesting.
“I am known as Shadow” he answered slowly in his deep, accentless voice . “What kind of creature are you? I have never seen a creature like you before” Tails visibly jumped when the red eyes spoke back to him.
“I’m a Mobian Fox, err…nice to meet you Shadow.” A Mobian, he had been told briefly of this by the Professor. He was a Mobian Hedgehog, well he looked like one anyway. Did this mean that there were other creatures besides humans on Mobius, if so he would have to destroy them to exact his revenge the way the Professor wanted. The idea repulsed him, killing Humans was one perfectly acceptable thing, killing the entire species was the same and he doubted he would have trouble killing Mobians but to destroy all the Mobians just for revenge on the Humans was unacceptable. It was too much like what had happened the ARK. All those lives destroyed just for trying to kill him.
No the Professor must have forgotten that his plan would kill all the Mobians too, he would just have to discover another way of killing the disgusting creatures. Perhaps one by one instead, starting with Prison Island and then the most powerful human he could find.
--------------------------------
The red eyes had disappeared, Tails guessed he had just shut them. Shadow hadn’t said anything in a while and he was worried.
“Were you the one inside that pod?” he asked the darkness where he had last seen the strange eyes.
“Yes I was.”
“Why did they put you in there?” he was very curious as to why he was imprisoned.
“Because they feared my powers, they feared who I am and struck out at me. Trapping me inside Prison Island until someone recovered the pod and moved it…..apparently.”
“Excuse me but could you maybe come out into the light so I can see you? Only its kind of weird talking to a pair of blood red eyes, I mean not that they’re ugly or anything. They’re beautiful but..” Tails just realized what he had said and almost slapped himself but settled for blushing instead and hoping this Shadow hadn’t noticed.
“last time you saw me up close you fainted, you were quite terrified if I recall correctly”
“Sorry about that” and a nervous chuckle was all that he could apologise with “but I would like to see the rest of you” he blushed again at the things that seemed to just slip out. Briefly wondering what was wrong with the “Fox” Shadow considered his request. There is no reason to continue hiding, he seems comfortable enough in my presence.
Tails tried not to seem afraid as the red eyes moved closer and Shadow entered the light. He gasped in surprise at how similar he looked to Sonic.
“Is something wrong?”
“What? No. Its just, you look so similar to someone I know. The resemblance is uncanny, you could be his twin!” Make that evil twin Tails thought to himself, whilst Shadow was similar to Sonic at first look he could see differences. Shadow was a Mobian Hedgehog like Sonic but his fur was deep black, a colour (which like Sonic’s shade of blue) you never got on normal Hedgehogs, who were usually brown. As well as the black colour the quills had blood red highlights matching his eyes, on his stomach where Sonic had his bald spot like most hedgehogs Shadow instead had more black fur- although on his chest just under his chin was a cute little tuft of white fur. Did I just think “cute”? Tails also noticed that Shadow appeared to be ever so slightly taller and leaner than Sonic. On his hands were the customary Mobian gloves but these each had a red wrist guard on them, as well as gold bracelets too. On his feet were the strangest pair of shoes Tails had ever seen, slightly clunkier than normal shoes and coloured red, white and black. Also with gold bracelets. “Do you have any relatives? Because that would explain a lot.”
“Who is this person?” Shadow was curious as to who could look enough like him to make people think they could be related. He would make sure that this fake could not threaten him.
“He’s my best friend, Sonic the Hedgehog, I‘ll take you to meet him if you like.”
“That would be useful, but for now you should rest. I am unfamiliar with this planets time system but it must be fairly late.” What did Shadow mean “This planet”?
“okay but please tell me, what did you do to those robots with the Chaos Emerald, it was incredible! You blew them apart in seconds and dodged all their lasers too! Sonic is fast but even he couldn’t dodge every laser.”
“Rest” was the only reply he got and Shadow retreated back into the dark, leaving Tails to sleep.
-------------------do you guys think I should change my divider?----------
This Tails creature had a curious effect on him, he wouldn’t usually answer questions if he did not stand to gain from it somehow. And who was this Sonic, he briefly wondered if he was as fast as he was but quickly dismissed the idea as ridiculous. He was the Ultimate Life form, he was better than anyone in the Universe and there was no way a normal hedgehog could beat him, not the Master of Chaos.
Now, whilst the Fox was resting. The first step of his revenge would be completed, it was time to send a message to them. Here was a true test of his abilities, Prison Island would burn.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----
It was morning in Knothole, and normally happy and cheerful village was sorrowful and almost lifeless. It was a beautiful day, the sun shone and animals of all kinds scampered about. As if Tails death didn’t matter. Sally trudged out of her hut, tear stained and tired. She had locked herself in her hut the previous night and spent all time since then crying over the child she had lost. As if a icy dagger had been driven through her heart the only thing that kept her going was her sense of duty.
She didn’t have Nicole with her either, she had thrown her down in the main hut when they had gotten back for pulling such a clever and horrible trick on her. Shocking her into unconsciousness so Bunnie and Rotor could carry her out. She hadn’t even been able to look at Sonic who had disappeared into the forest to “think” last night.
People swore for years after that it was the biggest thunderstorm ever heard, and that the clouds were mysteriously void of lightning.
Walking into the main hut she found Bunnie being comforted by Antoine, Sonic sitting by himself on the sofa and Rotor messing around with Nicole. The room went silent when they saw her. No words were exchanged, there was nothing to say. She decided to treat this like it had happened to someone else and tried to put Tails’ face out of her mind.
“Do we know what happened Rotor” her voice was steady and firm, with no hint of emotion. She could have been an award winning actress.
Rotor managed to recover from his amazement enough to answer “Nicole and I managed to figure it out from Robotnik’s logs. It looks like he set up a booby trap so if someone stepped through a laser trip wire the door would close and….”he trailed of.
“What about that weapon, was it destroyed too”
“We don’t know, Robotnik’s logs show that it was released around two minutes before the detonation, we’re thinking Tails let it out.”
“Tails wouldn’t do that!”
“Well he was the only one in there. And then Nicole recorded this from the Human news stations, I didn’t want to watch It until you came. Put it on Nicole” Nicole’s holo-projector began to hum and a red-headed women appeared at a desk in a news studio in mid-air where she was being projected.
“This is Scarlet Garcia and your watching Station News. As most of you know there was a devastating attack on Prison Island yesterday. The military research base just a few miles of the coast of Station Square. It is believed to have been committed by Robotnik, who exploited a gap in the defences. Almost all the guards were killed or taken prisoner but GUN wasted no time in repairing the damage. Unfortunately early this morning there was another horrible attack, this time on the technicians and soldiers repairing the base. It is estimated eighty-four are dead and twelve are in critical condition. This attack however was not committed by Robotnik, a black Mobian Hedgehog of speeds matching Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic’s ears perked up at this and he stared in amazement. The military have told us that this hedgehog is an extremely dangerous escaped prisoner and is not to be approached at any time“. “The hedgehog went on to flee the city on foot, destroying anything that got in his way. Warning this footage may shock younger viewers and it is advised that anyone under 18 does not watch it.”
The woman’s face was replaced by the view of a helicopter camera and the voice of a male reporter. It was dark and a black speck below was only visible by the lights of various military vehicles. They were going across a large red highway bridge.
“turn on the long range mic!” sirens could now be heard as well as the figure below ran up the suspension of the bridge and stood on the top support.
“This is the Guardian Unit of Nations, surrender now or be destroyed!” the figure seemed to laugh at this and replied.
“Do you know who I am? I am the Ultimate Lifeform, created by Professor Gerald Robotnik. The greatest scientific mind of his time. I will destroy you all! All will feel my loss and despair!“ This speech seemed to scare the soldiers slightly and they looked around nervously. “Prepare to die!” the figure launched itself of the Bridge support and down into the group of GUN vehicles below. A second after he had entered them a huge explosion ripped all the soldiers apart in milliseconds and half the bridge was destroyed. The camera man swore as the shockwave knocked him against the pilot, and they both stared in amazement at the black and red hedgehog perched on the front of the helicopter. Grinning the insane grin of a madman.
“Disgusting Humans, get out of my sight!” a fist drove through the window and smashed it before ripping out all the controls and pulling out again. The hedgehog smirked before in a small flash of light he was gone again. There were screams from both men as the helicopter span around and eventually crashing. The camera went to static and Scarlet Garcia returned.
“The pilot was able to survive without many injuries but our reporter Mr West is in intensive care. Police currently have no leads on this hedgehogs location but we repeat, do not approach him. GUN tells us that he is bloodthirsty, merciless and probably insane.” Nicole ended the recording.
“We think that he was the weapon Tails let out”
“But how did he survive the explosion?” Sonic asked the question before Sally could.
“Well sugah-hog, he probably used that fancy teleport trick of his didn’t he.” Sally’s hopes were immediately brought up, maybe the hedgehog had brought Tails with him. But no, that was stupid. He was obviously insane and wouldn’t bother helping the young Fox. Would he?
--------------------------------------------------
Th e tweeting of a bird woke Tails up and allowed him to see clearly where he had been taken, it was a part of the forest barely three miles from Robotropilis, he could tell that much from the smoke produced by dozens of factories. Although it was not directly overhead it was easy to see. Using the sun as a compass he guessed that they were several hours away from his home village. Looking around him he found he couldn’t see Shadow, and for some reason this made him feel lonely and sad. What’s wrong with me? I’ve only known him for a day and I’ve barely said two words to him, now I feel like I’m missing something.
“Are you ok?” came Shadow’s voice from above him, making him jump. Looking above him he saw
Shadow perched in a tree, looking like he had always been there. He seemed to fit perfectly into night but in day he seemed slightly odd. Like he wasn’t used to it.
“I’m fine, I was just wondering where you were.” This Fox succeeded in surprising Shadow, he had seemed very worried and to find he was worried for him was….shocking.
“Why do you care where I go?” he said with what was almost hostility. Tails stuttered, half-afraid that Shadow would press for an answer which he didn’t have and half-afraid the bi-polar Hedgehog would turn violent.
“Because, I don’t know! You saved me I guess.” he hoped that would satisfy the strange Mobian. It seemed to quiet him and he returned to his calm self. When Tails felt he was okay to talk again he asked the question that had been bothering him since last night. “Shadow, you never gave me an answer. How did you do that thing with the Emerald? Even Sonics never done that and he once used them to turn Super. Can you do that too?” Shadow went over his answer in his head as he did with most conversations he held, which left a small gap in the conversation where Tails waited patiently.
“I have been able to do that since I was created, it is one of the purposes for my creation. They wanted a creature that could control Chaos Energy better than any mortal creature. The Chaos Energy allows me to warp time and space” He felt this answer was sufficient but the young Fox’s curiosity could not be sated.
“What do you mean created? Didn’t you have a Mom?” Shadow simply looked at him and silently willed him to explain. “A Mom, you know. The person who gives birth to you and looks after you when your young and teaches you and stuff.” Shadow attempted to understand this concept and then realised that there was something close that he had possessed.
“My creator Professor Gerald called himself my Father. He helped teach me the things that weren’t already programmed into my memory. But I was created fully mature, so no one needed to look after me. In fact it was frequently the other way round. He was present when I was released from my incubation pod, so it is possible he was my “Mom”.” Tails obviously found this amusing.
“No, a Mom is like a female Dad. Gerald was your Dad, which is another word for Father. Was there any girls there too, one that looked after you?”
“There was the one who released me, she was a small Human child named Maria.” he said the name like every time he said it something got ripped out of him.
“She must have been your Mom then.” he said almost happily at the achievement.
“No, she was too young. The Professor was very old, she was young. If the “Mom” is simply a female father then she was not it. I did not care for my creator the same way I did for Maria” he realised how much he was saying now and was determined to cut of this conversation.
“Did you love her?” Tails asked innocently.
“Enough of this! I do not wish to speak of these things any longer. Which way is your home?”
----------------------------------------------------- ------
Tails had managed to, using the sun, figure out the direction of Knothole and they had set of through the extensive woods. Tails had managed to convince Shadow that they would get a warm welcome in Knothole but he didn’t seem to trust anyone. After around an hour of silent walking through the tranquil foliage Tails asked another question. He seemed to like boasting about his abilities so this probably wouldn’t be answered angrily.
“Shadow, you said you could use the Chaos Emeralds better than any mortal could. Aren’t you mortal?” This question Shadow was willing to answer.
“No, I was created to be The Ultimate Lifeform. Superior in all ways to natural creatures” He sounded extremely arrogant when he said this. Like it was a proven fact. For some reason an oddly erotic thought chose that time to appear in Tails’ brain I wonder if that includes mating. It purred to his psyche. Wait. Why did I think that? He’s a guy! He blushed again at his own confused mind but carried on listening to Shadow. “I do not age or decay, I am immune to disease and do not get tired. Ever.” This last part was said more like a challenge he was issuing to himself. The last thing he said reminded Tails of Sonic slightly. “I am the fastest, strongest of all organic life in existence”
“You know, Sonic can break the sound barrier, I doubt your faster than him” he said mischievously. To his surprise Shadow simply laughed. Turning to face Tails he smiled evilly.
“That is a challenge Fuzz-ball. I assure you If this fake hedgehog can do something, I can do better. I will show you ” before Tails could say anything Shadow had easily scooped him up in his powerful muscles and was holding him bridal style. The same way that Sonic usually carried Sally. The next thing Tails experienced was sudden acceleration and finally a slight lift as Shadow switched from his running to a sliding motion. Looking down for an explanation Tails saw that Shadow’s shoes were lifting them on a frictionless cushion of air, like a hovercraft.
Shadow was holding him against his furry chest and Tails was suffering another blush attack as he realised that Shadows hand was clamped firmly on his butt. For some reason he enjoyed its presence and so when Shadow asked him if anything was wrong he didn’t say anything. They were speeding through the Forest now and Shadow dodged fallen trees and hedges. Not to mention small animals. When they were about to break the sound barrier Shadows entire body tensed, inadvertently bringing his hand to squeeze Tails and make him blush even more. A huge bang exploded around them as they broke the sound barrier and the world went strangely silent. Seeing a familiar landmark, the small lake where some of Knothole’s population swam, he tugged on the white chest fur and Shadow stopped. How he managed to stop in such a small space when he was going faster than sound was incredible. Instead of simply trying to stop as Sonic usually did, by jamming his feet in the ground and hoping someone wanted a hundred meter straight line ploughed. Shadow slowed and then teleported back ten metres. He then kept running but slowing still before teleporting back again. He kept doing this until he was barely jogging and eventually stopped. Shadow continued walking to Knothole in front of amazed, frightened and mostly bemused bathers, the presence of which reminded Tails that Shadow was still carrying him like they were just married.
“Urr.. Shadow? Can you put me down” Tails said blushing again. Shadow complied and noticed the Fox’s face was red again. What does that mean when his face turns like that? I think Maria said it was blushing. She did it once when I walked into her room and she was just in her underpants. She never did explain what it meant, she just blushed more.
Before Shadow got a chance to ask Tails however they arrived at Knothole village and there was an angry shout from a strange looking blue hedgehog.
-----------------------------------------
WOOO! !! I did another chapter, but I need reviews people! I need them to power my kidney-make-feel-good device. Or just send me money. I also need to know what people think of the story. I know you guys have seen it. I can hear you breathing. Plus because of my inexperience with stories I need plot ideas! And anonymous characters to be slaughtered .
I also have ideas for another fiction. Possibly a ShadowXCream or Shadamy. Tell me which you prefer. Im not going to update for a while now, im going on holiday. Against my will. i wont be back for four days and by that time.
I DAMN WELL EXPECT REVIEWS GOT ME!!!! even a small good work would be fine. Hell even a homophobic comment would be welcome at this point.
< br>
I also found my muse, a mixture of deviant art stuff (which I’ve mentioned) and for some reason sad sounding Japanese music.
Anyway remember REVIEW!!!! I need them to live.

This Tails creature had a curious effect on him, he wouldn’t usually answer questions if he did not stand to gain from it somehow. And who was this Sonic, he briefly wondered if he was as fast as he was but quickly dismissed the idea as ridiculous. He was the Ultimate Life form, he was better than anyone in the Universe and there was no way a normal hedgehog could beat him, not the Master of Chaos.
Now, whilst the Fox was resting. The first step of his revenge would be completed, it was time to send a message to them. Here was a true test of his abilities, Prison Island would burn.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----
It was morning in Knothole, and normally happy and cheerful village was sorrowful and almost lifeless. It was a beautiful day, the sun shone and animals of all kinds scampered about. As if Tails death didn’t matter. Sally trudged out of her hut, tear stained and tired. She had locked herself in her hut the previous night and spent all time since then crying over the child she had lost. As if a icy dagger had been driven through her heart the only thing that kept her going was her sense of duty.
She didn’t have Nicole with her either, she had thrown her down in the main hut when they had gotten back for pulling such a clever and horrible trick on her. Shocking her into unconsciousness so Bunnie and Rotor could carry her out. She hadn’t even been able to look at Sonic who had disappeared into the forest to “think” last night.
People swore for years after that it was the biggest thunderstorm ever heard, and that the clouds were mysteriously void of lightning.
Walking into the main hut she found Bunnie being comforted by Antoine, Sonic sitting by himself on the sofa and Rotor messing around with Nicole. The room went silent when they saw her. No words were exchanged, there was nothing to say. She decided to treat this like it had happened to someone else and tried to put Tails’ face out of her mind.
“Do we know what happened Rotor” her voice was steady and firm, with no hint of emotion. She could have been an award winning actress.
Rotor managed to recover from his amazement enough to answer “Nicole and I managed to figure it out from Robotnik’s logs. It looks like he set up a booby trap so if someone stepped through a laser trip wire the door would close and….”he trailed of.
“What about that weapon, was it destroyed too”
“We don’t know, Robotnik’s logs show that it was released around two minutes before the detonation, we’re thinking Tails let it out.”
“Tails wouldn’t do that!”
“Well he was the only one in there. And then Nicole recorded this from the Human news stations, I didn’t want to watch It until you came. Put it on Nicole” Nicole’s holo-projector began to hum and a red-headed women appeared at a desk in a news studio in mid-air where she was being projected.
“This is Scarlet Garcia and your watching Station News. As most of you know there was a devastating attack on Prison Island yesterday. The military research base just a few miles of the coast of Station Square. It is believed to have been committed by Robotnik, who exploited a gap in the defences. Almost all the guards were killed or taken prisoner but GUN wasted no time in repairing the damage. Unfortunately early this morning there was another horrible attack, this time on the technicians and soldiers repairing the base. It is estimated eighty-four are dead and twelve are in critical condition. This attack however was not committed by Robotnik, a black Mobian Hedgehog of speeds matching Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic’s ears perked up at this and he stared in amazement. The military have told us that this hedgehog is an extremely dangerous escaped prisoner and is not to be approached at any time“. “The hedgehog went on to flee the city on foot, destroying anything that got in his way. Warning this footage may shock younger viewers and it is advised that anyone under 18 does not watch it.”
The woman’s face was replaced by the view of a helicopter camera and the voice of a male reporter. It was dark and a black speck below was only visible by the lights of various military vehicles. They were going across a large red highway bridge.
“turn on the long range mic!” sirens could now be heard as well as the figure below ran up the suspension of the bridge and stood on the top support.
“This is the Guardian Unit of Nations, surrender now or be destroyed!” the figure seemed to laugh at this and replied.
“Do you know who I am? I am the Ultimate Lifeform, created by Professor Gerald Robotnik. The greatest scientific mind of his time. I will destroy you all! All will feel my loss and despair!“ This speech seemed to scare the soldiers slightly and they looked around nervously. “Prepare to die!” the figure launched itself of the Bridge support and down into the group of GUN vehicles below. A second after he had entered them a huge explosion ripped all the soldiers apart in milliseconds and half the bridge was destroyed. The camera man swore as the shockwave knocked him against the pilot, and they both stared in amazement at the black and red hedgehog perched on the front of the helicopter. Grinning the insane grin of a madman.
“Disgusting Humans, get out of my sight!” a fist drove through the window and smashed it before ripping out all the controls and pulling out again. The hedgehog smirked before in a small flash of light he was gone again. There were screams from both men as the helicopter span around and eventually crashing. The camera went to static and Scarlet Garcia returned.
“The pilot was able to survive without many injuries but our reporter Mr West is in intensive care. Police currently have no leads on this hedgehogs location but we repeat, do not approach him. GUN tells us that he is bloodthirsty, merciless and probably insane.” Nicole ended the recording.
“We think that he was the weapon Tails let out”
“But how did he survive the explosion?” Sonic asked the question before Sally could.
“Well sugah-hog, he probably used that fancy teleport trick of his didn’t he.” Sally’s hopes were immediately brought up, maybe the hedgehog had brought Tails with him. But no, that was stupid. He was obviously insane and wouldn’t bother helping the young Fox. Would he?
--------------------------------------------------
Th e tweeting of a bird woke Tails up and allowed him to see clearly where he had been taken, it was a part of the forest barely three miles from Robotropilis, he could tell that much from the smoke produced by dozens of factories. Although it was not directly overhead it was easy to see. Using the sun as a compass he guessed that they were several hours away from his home village. Looking around him he found he couldn’t see Shadow, and for some reason this made him feel lonely and sad. What’s wrong with me? I’ve only known him for a day and I’ve barely said two words to him, now I feel like I’m missing something.
“Are you ok?” came Shadow’s voice from above him, making him jump. Looking above him he saw
Shadow perched in a tree, looking like he had always been there. He seemed to fit perfectly into night but in day he seemed slightly odd. Like he wasn’t used to it.
“I’m fine, I was just wondering where you were.” This Fox succeeded in surprising Shadow, he had seemed very worried and to find he was worried for him was….shocking.
“Why do you care where I go?” he said with what was almost hostility. Tails stuttered, half-afraid that Shadow would press for an answer which he didn’t have and half-afraid the bi-polar Hedgehog would turn violent.
“Because, I don’t know! You saved me I guess.” he hoped that would satisfy the strange Mobian. It seemed to quiet him and he returned to his calm self. When Tails felt he was okay to talk again he asked the question that had been bothering him since last night. “Shadow, you never gave me an answer. How did you do that thing with the Emerald? Even Sonics never done that and he once used them to turn Super. Can you do that too?” Shadow went over his answer in his head as he did with most conversations he held, which left a small gap in the conversation where Tails waited patiently.
“I have been able to do that since I was created, it is one of the purposes for my creation. They wanted a creature that could control Chaos Energy better than any mortal creature. The Chaos Energy allows me to warp time and space” He felt this answer was sufficient but the young Fox’s curiosity could not be sated.
“What do you mean created? Didn’t you have a Mom?” Shadow simply looked at him and silently willed him to explain. “A Mom, you know. The person who gives birth to you and looks after you when your young and teaches you and stuff.” Shadow attempted to understand this concept and then realised that there was something close that he had possessed.
“My creator Professor Gerald called himself my Father. He helped teach me the things that weren’t already programmed into my memory. But I was created fully mature, so no one needed to look after me. In fact it was frequently the other way round. He was present when I was released from my incubation pod, so it is possible he was my “Mom”.” Tails obviously found this amusing.
“No, a Mom is like a female Dad. Gerald was your Dad, which is another word for Father. Was there any girls there too, one that looked after you?”
“There was the one who released me, she was a small Human child named Maria.” he said the name like every time he said it something got ripped out of him.
“She must have been your Mom then.” he said almost happily at the achievement.
“No, she was too young. The Professor was very old, she was young. If the “Mom” is simply a female father then she was not it. I did not care for my creator the same way I did for Maria” he realised how much he was saying now and was determined to cut of this conversation.
“Did you love her?” Tails asked innocently.
“Enough of this! I do not wish to speak of these things any longer. Which way is your home?”
----------------------------------------------------- ------
Tails had managed to, using the sun, figure out the direction of Knothole and they had set of through the extensive woods. Tails had managed to convince Shadow that they would get a warm welcome in Knothole but he didn’t seem to trust anyone. After around an hour of silent walking through the tranquil foliage Tails asked another question. He seemed to like boasting about his abilities so this probably wouldn’t be answered angrily.
“Shadow, you said you could use the Chaos Emeralds better than any mortal could. Aren’t you mortal?” This question Shadow was willing to answer.
“No, I was created to be The Ultimate Lifeform. Superior in all ways to natural creatures” He sounded extremely arrogant when he said this. Like it was a proven fact. For some reason an oddly erotic thought chose that time to appear in Tails’ brain I wonder if that includes mating. It purred to his psyche. Wait. Why did I think that? He’s a guy! He blushed again at his own confused mind but carried on listening to Shadow. “I do not age or decay, I am immune to disease and do not get tired. Ever.” This last part was said more like a challenge he was issuing to himself. The last thing he said reminded Tails of Sonic slightly. “I am the fastest, strongest of all organic life in existence”
“You know, Sonic can break the sound barrier, I doubt your faster than him” he said mischievously. To his surprise Shadow simply laughed. Turning to face Tails he smiled evilly.
“That is a challenge Fuzz-ball. I assure you If this fake hedgehog can do something, I can do better. I will show you ” before Tails could say anything Shadow had easily scooped him up in his powerful muscles and was holding him bridal style. The same way that Sonic usually carried Sally. The next thing Tails experienced was sudden acceleration and finally a slight lift as Shadow switched from his running to a sliding motion. Looking down for an explanation Tails saw that Shadow’s shoes were lifting them on a frictionless cushion of air, like a hovercraft.
Shadow was holding him against his furry chest and Tails was suffering another blush attack as he realised that Shadows hand was clamped firmly on his butt. For some reason he enjoyed its presence and so when Shadow asked him if anything was wrong he didn’t say anything. They were speeding through the Forest now and Shadow dodged fallen trees and hedges. Not to mention small animals. When they were about to break the sound barrier Shadows entire body tensed, inadvertently bringing his hand to squeeze Tails and make him blush even more. A huge bang exploded around them as they broke the sound barrier and the world went strangely silent. Seeing a familiar landmark, the small lake where some of Knothole’s population swam, he tugged on the white chest fur and Shadow stopped. How he managed to stop in such a small space when he was going faster than sound was incredible. Instead of simply trying to stop as Sonic usually did, by jamming his feet in the ground and hoping someone wanted a hundred meter straight line ploughed. Shadow slowed and then teleported back ten metres. He then kept running but slowing still before teleporting back again. He kept doing this until he was barely jogging and eventually stopped. Shadow continued walking to Knothole in front of amazed, frightened and mostly bemused bathers, the presence of which reminded Tails that Shadow was still carrying him like they were just married.
“Urr.. Shadow? Can you put me down” Tails said blushing again. Shadow complied and noticed the Fox’s face was red again. What does that mean when his face turns like that? I think Maria said it was blushing. She did it once when I walked into her room and she was just in her underpants. She never did explain what it meant, she just blushed more.
Before Shadow got a chance to ask Tails however they arrived at Knothole village and there was an angry shout from a strange looking blue hedgehog.
-----------------------------------------
WOOO! !! I did another chapter, but I need reviews people! I need them to power my kidney-make-feel-good device. Or just send me money. I also need to know what people think of the story. I know you guys have seen it. I can hear you breathing. Plus because of my inexperience with stories I need plot ideas! And anonymous characters to be slaughtered .
I also have ideas for another fiction. Possibly a ShadowXCream or Shadamy. Tell me which you prefer. Im not going to update for a while now, im going on holiday. Against my will. i wont be back for four days and by that time.
I DAMN WELL EXPECT REVIEWS GOT ME!!!! even a small good work would be fine. Hell even a homophobic comment would be welcome at this point.
