Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Released to Destroy ❯ I'm back, I'm not dead. ( Chapter 12 )
[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
’m so happy!!!!! Got another reviewer! And since you didn’t leave an email I will just type my reply here. Here you are (god your parents were cruel with your name):
Thanks for reviewing me BB, its really good to see that someone else is enjoying this fiction like Lu is. First of all, yes Sally did have a jacket in the comics somewhere. And in the SATAMs later. But I leave her without it most of the time unless I have some reason, because frankly why does she need it? The only reason I think she was given it was to stop people complaining about her. Also I do like those trapped moments the best but sadly there probably won’t be many more unless I go with one of my other plot point ideas. And don’t worry I have plenty more moves for the U.L to pull off. There will probably be even more in my next fiction which will be a ShadowCream. Are you a fan of that rarer than diamond pairing? It will be an older Cream bare in mind.
Thanks for the advice and enjoy the rest of my fiction. : )
Next: Any really strange dialogue here is the product of a deranged imagination, the Sally/Bunnie conversation is just a joke but you take it how you like. It can have multiple meanings.
Also, as I went over my fic from the beginning I realised that whilst I stated I didn’t own the characters I never said who did so here it is.
Disclaimer:
All characters belong to SEGA/Sonic Team or…actually I don’t know who owns Sally, Bunnie, Rotor or any of the SATAM’s characters. Their creators- that’ll do. Did Sonic Team create the others too? The original creators own these characters used okay? The other Hedgehog in this chapter was an idea thought up by Sonic Team and added to by me because Sonic Team were too lazy to get of their asses and give him a back-story. HEAR ME NAKA-SAN!!!!! He heard me.

Shadow awoke early in the morning, he had slept fantastically. No bad dreams or nightmares at all! The sun shone through a gap in the curtains and warmed the bed they were using together, although Shadow was already comfortable with the body heat his soft furry Fox was generating. Lying on his side on the bed Tails was in front of him and Shadow had fallen asleep hugging him from behind, allowing him to take deep breaths of his neck for the musky Fox scent that he had grown to love in a very short amount of time.
Content with staying on the bed with his love Shadow hugged the Fox closer to him and closed his eyes again, concentrating only on the soft fur pressed against him. Letting Tails’ gentle breaths lull him back to a blissfully dreamless sleep.
------------------------------------------
8220;And I thought you were exaggerating Sally-girl. But they are cute together.” The voice brought Shadow to wake up, although he kept his eyes closed to see what the strange Rabbit woman would say next. According to his nose the cyborg was accompanied by the Princess.
“Aren’t they, I would take a picture but I think Shadow would try and break Nicole.”
“Aww look at them cuddle, I’m glad you talked me into getting up now Sal. And I was tired after that long, hard night.”
“Your own fault, you wanted to try out those new high-powered toys.”
“Good idea filming it with Nicole though.”
“I am awake ladies.” Shadow told them opening his eyes still cuddling the Kitsune. “And I’ll pretend I never heard that little conversation.” The two were leaning over him and Tails and smiling at the scene. “Can I help you two?”
“Yes, you can wake your love up, can’t you?” Sally asked him WAY too comfortably. People weren’t supposed to feel comfortable around him. They were supposed to run or hide! He decided to follow the instructions anyway, but in a way that would hopefully make her uncomfortable. By bringing his mouth to the back of Tails’ neck and nibbling it gently. Making him writhe around a bit in his sleep before forcing him to wake up.
“Aunt Sally? Bunnie? What are you doing here?” He asked when he awoke to see the females giggling at the way Shadow had chosen to rouse him from his sleep.
“Watching you and Shadow be adorable Tails.” Bunnie told him.
“Don’t mind us though, you two carry on with whatever you were planning on doing.” Sally told them showing no sign of leaving. Well if a show was what they wanted that was what they’d get! Shadow moved a hand still around Tails down to just above his sheath, which he made sure was easily seen by the two watching Mobians whilst another was brought stealthily up to Tails’ back and began to massage the pressure points located there, making him moan slightly. To Sally and Bunnie it appeared that Shadow, still pressed against Tails back, was “playing” with the young Fox.
“St-stop that!” Sally was watching wide-eyed at the scene whilst Bunnie giggled.
“You wanted a show Princess Acorn. This will teach you to barge in uninvited.”
“Horny bastards aren’t they?” Bunnie commented.
“Don’t worry Aunt Sally, he’s not doing what you think he is. Unfortunately.” Sally breathed a sign of relief at this and then backtracked to the word “unfortunately”.
------------------------------------- -----------
The creature stirred in its tank, wondering where it was. The tank itself was filled with green liquid and bubbles, and outside it a dark room could be seen. Pipes ran out of its spine and went through the glass, pain wracked its form. Screaming through its nerves from where metal clumsily met its body, grafted directly on with no concern for well-being. Beyond the tank it was able to see a room full of computers and odd looking robots which seemed to be watching it. Especially terrifying was a streamlined blue robot with a jet engine embedded in its chest. It was glaring at him in disgust.
A man entered the room, its brain immediately recognised it as the Master. Doctor Julian Robotnik, his name was burnt into its very memory and the programs that ran in its brain.
Primary objective 1: Obey Master Robotnik‘s orders.
Secondary objective 1: Destroy GUN
Secondary objective 2: Destroy the Freedom Fighters
The Doctor walked up to its tank and tapped on it with a pencil to get its attention. When he realised his creation was awake he shouted for his nephew, Snively.
It observed a short bald Human walk in after a few seconds. He was dressed in a grey military uniform and seemed to walk with an aura of a calm and contained man. He seemed to almost constantly glare at his uncle, who didn‘t notice. This mans profile was in its memory too.
“Snively! Let this thing out at once!” He seemed to speak in short bursts, probably to sound more commanding.
“As you wish Lord Robotnik.” His voice was a nasally whine. He walked over to a computer console and began to type in access codes. As the tank drained its creator droned on in a speech.
“Finally, I have done it. A creature to easily rival Sonic and destroy that ridiculous ancient weapon. It will follow my every order and assure my victory.”
“The creature appears to be a he Lord Robotnik.”
“Very well Snively, he will follow my every order and assure my victory.” The tank had almost drained completely now and the newest creation felt cold and weak. When the tank opened out and the metal disengaged him he fell to the floor, to the disgust of his creator. Who began to prod him with his foot and swear.
------------------------------------
Snively watched the poor black and orange Hedgehog attempt to stand, odd that he almost cared about this one when he had sent so many Mobians to their Robotic fate. But he knew it was just sympathy, Julian never appreciated him! His ideas, his cunning, his intelligence! Here was yet another fantastic amazing creature who the idiot was mistreating! Prodding like it was a common circus animal.
The Hedgehog looked almost identical to Project: Shadow, whom they had caught on camera destroying important buildings before attacking the research lab, although there were quite a few differences worthy of noting. First of all whilst he was black the normally red fur was orange, and so were the eyes. Next the tuft of fur was not their, replaced by a tiny metal triangle with an odd red light in the centre. The idiot refused to tell him the purpose of this device but it wasn’t likely anything good for the Hedgehog could come of it. Lastly the right arm, a perfect copy of a normal Mobian arm, folded back along several invisible seams to reveal a compact rocket/grenade launcher invisible to X-ray. Something that Snively knew would just impede the new creature, although he said nothing, as he would likely be blown up if Shadow happened to realise that Robotnik had stuffed high powered rockets inside his copies limb.
“Snively!”
“Yes my lord?
“Take him to the medical bay for testing. If we haven’t gotten it right this time I doubt we ever will!” The evil blob that he was, to his disgust, related to waddled off to oversee the empire he had gained.
“Metal Sonic. Assist me.” Instead of obeying Snively the robot growled at him electronically. On the floor the creature whimpered.
“ONLY UNIT: ROBOTNIK GIVES ME ORDERS!” The voice was electronic like so many others but it was unique obviously. Metal Sonic was one of the few creatures artificial or otherwise in Robotropilis with sentience, with emotions. He was alive and most certainly angry. He had been denied the chance to attack Sonic outright and had then found out that there was another creature like him which he was also not to harm.
“Just help you idiot, or I’ll tell Lord Robotnik that you only call him Master when he’s in the room. I’m sure he will be interested at that.” He wouldn’t though, Metal Sonic was the only robot that Snively knew wasn’t completely loyal to the lard-arse. Metal Sonic knew this too but obeyed anyway, knowing Snively as a good ally to have when he rebelled against his “Master”. Whilst they didn’t like each other as such they saw each other as the only other sane and intelligent creature around. And it was always amusing to laugh about the “ Master’s ” failures behind his back with someone else.
“AFFIRMATVE UNIT: SNIVELY.” The robot went to pick up the arms of the now terrified creature.
“And be careful too, we don’t want to hurt him.” Snively picked up the legs and they moved through to a lift, carrying him onwards to the medical bay.
------------------------------------
Shadow had been talked into going on a walk through the village with Sally, how this had been accomplished he wasn’t exactly sure. It didn’t seem to be something he would himself agree to, and Tails didn’t really say anything about it. But nevertheless he was now accompanying the hybrid Princess, if uncomfortably, as she prepared to interrogate him on his “intentions”. Instead of carrying on walking around she got him to sit by her on a bench in the middle of the village, underneath a large oak tree which hung overhead. She made sure only to talk when no one was around, further confusing the Hedgehog. He liked his privacy but she was really making sure no one heard them.
“Now Shadow, I know this whole heart to heart talk is usually done by the Dad.” She said when she had stopped being paranoid about spies.
“Is it? I wouldn’t know. I have little knowledge of normal customs.”
“Yes, it is. However, you probably noticed that Tails doesn’t really want Sonic to know.”
“Yes, I noticed. Although why I am unsure.” Now Sally had to explain that as well, how she was supposed to explain how some of society saw gays she had no idea.
“Well Shadow, many people are uncomfortable around homosexuals. Tails wants to hide the fact that you and he are… together.”
“And?” Not what she was expecting.
“That doesn’t bother you? Like not at all?” That was puzzling, Shadow didn’t seem to care whatever happened. Or he did and just hid it very well.
“I care nothing for other people’s opinions but if Tails does then we will hide it.” Definitely different from those romance novels Bunnie lent her went. Of course calling any of Bunnie’s literature a “novel” was pushing the definition a bit. But still, the parts that weren’t all erotica always dealt with how “the two males struggled to hide their love for each other, wanting more than anything to let people know what they felt” or at least that’s how the blurb told the story. That was like the first 5 chapters until it descended into 10 chapters that would make anyone blush. It had been a good book though, very useful when Sonic was on long missions.
“So you don’t mind having to pretend then?”
“No. Should I?”
“Well yes. No, yes. You should really.”
“Why?” His perfectly emotionless tone was beginning to annoy Sally, it was hard to explain anything to someone who talked like that. He asked like he would prefer to know but wouldn’t care if she didn’t tell him. It was like he was perfectly neutral in every way!
“You just should, when people are in love they want to shout from the rooftops and let everyone know how they feel about each other.” She had definitely been reading to many romance books if she had said that to him.
“That sounds idiotic, I know I’m in love. Why would I feel it necessary to inform anyone else?” She sighed.
“You just don’t understand how real romance works Shadow.”
“I don’t think I understand how mortals work.” She thought she caught a tiny hint of emotion in that part, was it depression? Sorrow? Maybe it was regret? What was going on in the head of the Hedgehog was anyone’s guess.
“Well that may just be true. Anyway, what I really wanted to ask you about was your intentions towards Tails.” More romance novels were being used here and Shadow raised an eyebrow at the unusually phrased question. Sally’s parents had never had this talk with her and so she was almost quoting from “Love Forbidden” directly at the moment.
“I don’t intend anything, I have nothing planned.”
“What do you mean you have nothing “planned”?”
“I was not expecting to be in a relationship with him, therefore I have no plans for the future regarding him.”
“I think you misunderstood me Shadow, I mean about you sleeping with Tails.” Again Shadow raised an eyebrow, wondering why she had not just said.
“He snuck into my bed but I think we will probably do it more often.” Sally knew Shadow wasn’t stupid, he was in fact very intelligent. But he seemed to take things too…literally, he didn’t understand that she was embarrassed talking about this kind of thing and was trying to tiptoe around the word she was dreading. Sally lost her patience.
“Oh for the love of God, I mean SEX! Sleeping together means sex!”
“What about it?”
“I mean when are you two planning on doing it?”
“What business is it of yours?” His voice turned colder and slightly more menacing. That didn’t really sound good to the princess, that could mean anything. Sally had gotten the two together, but she didn‘t want Tails to have sex so early on in his life and with someone so old, even Sonic admitted that she was his first when they had had sex and that had been when they were about 17! I can‘t believe I never thought about this when I tried to get Tails to admit he loved him! I just forgot about sex altogether! Sally sighed wearily. Not knowing how she should react to the thought that the two might have sex. Am I supposed to be happy? Do I just ignore it?
“Look Shadow, you have to see it from my point of view. Tails is my son, and he’s only 14 years old.” Shadow waited for her to explain why this was a problem, luckily she had already realised that he probably did not know about the age of consent. “You see Shadow, its generally thought that people below a certain age should not have sex.” Maria had mentioned something about this to him before, that had been what had worried her so much. Obviously even with all the information about physics, biology, chemistry and more that the Professor had given him he hadn’t thought to include this. Unsurprising really.
“What age?”
“Around 18 or so.” That definitely explained a lot, Maria had been terrified of what the Professor would think if they told him about how they felt about each other, and what they had done together. Too bad they had never gotten the chance to say anything, Shadow was curious to know how the old man would react. “And its seen as strange and pretty disturbing when one of the people in the relationship is so much older than the other. I mean, you may look fairly young but we all know you’re over fifty.”
“That is correct.”
“Well then, you see that I have my fourteen year old son going out with a…” She took a guess at his age. “What? Sixty-eight year old guy?” As soon as that had come out of her mouth she couldn’t help feel disturbed, true Shadow didn’t look like he was that old and she knew it wasn’t like that but even so…the thought was disgusting. She mentally banished the thought, reminding herself that this was what would make Tails happy.
“I’m not sixty-eight. I’m fifty-six.” He corrected her and she started to apologise before her face changed into an expression of disbelief.
“You are fifty-six.” He nodded. “With fifty years spent in a cryogenic tube.” She said each word slowly so that there was no possible way she could have gotten them wrong. He nodded again. “So correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t that make you six years old if you don’t count the imprisonment?”
“Yes, it does.” Tails is older than Shadow!!! Well kind of. Shadow isn’t any kind of pervert, Tails is just an unknowing pedophile! Wait…is that better? “Chronologically I am fifty-six, physically I was created- and still am twenty years old and I would consider the amount of time I spent fully alive to be six years.” Sally didn’t know whether to giggle at the strange turn of events or feel sorry that the Hedgehog was imprisoned so young.
“Still, my original point remains. I don’t think Tails is old enough to lose his virginity, and now that I know this I don’t think you are either.” Shadow turned to face her directly in the eyes and she was sure she caught some unknown emotion in those deep, red orbs. For a second she could almost see why Tails loved him. Almost.
“First, my virginity is long gone- about half a century back if you want to find it, second switch that A.I off.” Sally took Nicole off of her utility belt and turned her off, wanting to hear what the Hedgehog had to say.
“Okay, she’s off. Why did you want me to do that anyway?”
“Because I don’t want a record of what I am going to say to exist, and you would probably tape it and somehow use it to blackmail me or the Fox-boy.” She frowned at the idea that he thought she would do something like that but let him continue. “It is highly likely that Tails and I will have sex, if only because I doubt he can wait four years to do it. But I know this for certain, I love him and he is certainly ready. He is more mature than most people on this pathetic planet and is certainly intelligent enough to make his own decisions instead of someone else making them for him.” He sounded arrogant when he said that but he did have a point, her father (who was trapped in another dimension currently - don’t ask, it’s a long, long SATAM story) hated Sonic. And didn’t think she was mature enough to know if she loved him, but she did.
“How can you possibly know he’s ready? He doesn’t even know what he would be…doing with you.” Until now those images had been safely locked up in her head but now a select few were escaping and threatening her sanity. She wasn’t homophobic at all but a small maternal part of her was still creeped out at the idea of the two…going at it.
“He knows enough to make a few erotic innuendos.” She saw his smirking face and asked what Tails had said but he refused to divulge more information before disappearing in a teleport.
-----------------------------------------
The Hedgehog shivered and twitched erratically as he was laid on the cold metal examination table, the medical bay was little more than the name the idiot gave the place where- among other things- he ripped apart test subjects and augmented them manually to test effects on free-will and productivity. It was unsuitable for looking after a creature in any comfort and was a large silver room filled with machinery for “testing” the few Mobians brought in that weren’t roboticised immediately. Metal Sonic stared in disgust at the creation writhe around in fear, cold and the shock from leaving his tube so hastily and without care.
“INFERIOR ORGANIC UNIT: FILE NAME NOT FOUND” Metal Sonic didn’t realise he didn’t know the creature’s name in time to stop himself from humiliating himself. Snively didn’t know how but the machine managed to pull off a perfectly passable (and even humorous) expression of confusion without, it seemed, actually changing his face.
“The moron called it Project: Terios.”
“SEARCHING DATA BANKS…….MATCH FOUND. TERIOS, MEANING: “REFLECTION OF”.
“Correct, he actually got something accurate for once.” Who were these strange creatures the cyborg Hedgehog asked itself. They called him Terios, was that his name? He seemed to remember something else too, another name used on him.
“Can you understand us Terios?” Terios nodded.
“GOOD, LET THE EXPERIMENTS BEGIN!” Metal Sonic’s voice always gained more life when he was hurting something, sometimes it even gained a real, normal voice. Similar to Sonic’s.
“Your evil.” Snively told him, without disapproval.
“I TRY MY BEST.” Screams rang out through the nearby area, as the two tested every part of Terios’ body for defects with the large painful scanning devices and intrusive tools, most of it was done by MS himself. He enjoyed torturing things so much.
----------------------------------
Tails had found himself bored, none was around. Bunnie had wondered off to her hut and Tails wasn’t allowed to go anywhere near that, it was one of the farthest away from other huts and people said (often in amusement) that if you went up there in the middle of the night you could hear shrieks and screams. Tails wasn’t stupid or naïve, he knew what she and her boyfriend did but stayed away and feigned ignorance because he didn’t want his Aunt Sally to know that he wasn’t as innocent as she thought.
He rarely played with the other children of his own age, most of them were idiots and/or bullies. They always just wanted to run around in the forest screaming and daring each other to go into Robotropilis or boast about the robots they had seen. A few of them regularly made fun of his mutation anyway. In truth his best friends were Sonic or Rotor, Sonic was in the city stealing machine parts from a warehouse so that simply left Rotor. It took him quite a while to walk to the garage but he eventually got there and heard the sound of Rotor burning himself soldering circuits.
“Hey Tails.” The Walrus was working on some kind of gun as the Fox walked into the workshop. It was a large arm cannon, painted red and with the exterior missing on one side where the mechanic had yet to finish. He poked around inside with a solder and a piece of wire, finishing small circuits and correcting faults. Every so often he would let out a short ow.
“What’s that?” Tails asked him, pointing to the weapon.
“A surprise for your boyfriend next time he starts getting threatening.” He answered “could you pass me that 150F capacitor?”
“Sure, here you go.” Tails reached into Rotors tool box and took the component. After handing it to the Walrus alarm bells went off in his head, Rotor had said boyfriend. “What do you mean boyfriend Rotor?” He asked nervously.
“Bunnie told Antoine and Antoine told me. I don’t think anyone else knows though, Bunnie said she’d “punish” ‘Twoine if he told anyone else. And not in the way he likes.”
“So you know Shadow and I are…together.” Rotor put down his tools and turned to face the Fox.
“Yeah.” Sally had been right about people acting differently, there was an awkwardness in the air and it was making Tails uncomfortable. Rotor on the other hand was just unsure what to say.
“Look, you don’t have to worry. I’m not attracted to you or anything.” To his surprise the Walrus laughed before answering.
“I don’t know whether to be relieved or insulted. Is it my eyes? Aren’t they nice enough. Oh I know, Shadow has the more attractive behind doesn‘t he!” The last bit left him laughing again and Tails wasn’t sure whether to laugh or hit him over the head with a wrench.
“Oh ha ha. Your just jealous you didn’t get him first.”
“Yeah, he’s obviously a great catch. Strong, fast, violent, possibly insane.”
“Good kisser.” Tails added.
“I did not need to know that.” Revenge would belong to the Fox!
“Oh no, you seemed so interested too. I know, I’ll tell you what we did last night.” Rotors eye actually began twitching.
“That’s not necessary.”
“No, please. You‘ll love this story. You see we were both in bed and Shadow reached over and- Rotor come back, the story hasn’t even got to the good bit yet.” Rotor ran straight out of the workshop, passing Sally on her way to talk to Tails and give him something.
“Talk to your son about how liberal he is with information on his sex-life!” Sally walked into the garage to find Tails on the floor laughing at the reaction he had gotten.
“What was that about Tails.” She asked with a raised eyebrow. The Fox got up still smiling.
“Nothing Aunt Sally, Rotor was just going for his morning run.”
“Good, I always thought that lazy Walrus needed more exercise. Now I want to talk to you in private and give you something, follow me.” She refused to say anymore an Tails followed her to her own hut. Once inside she sat the Fox down on the bed and Tails immediately knew that it was another heart to heart talk.
“Now Tails, I was talking with Shadow today as you know and something was brought to my attention.”
“What?”
“Well, your getting to the age where you are beginning to feel urges and may wan-” Tails cut her off.
“Don’t worry Aunt Sally, Bunnie already gave me this talk a few months back.” He informed her smiling.
“Bunnie?” Sally’s pulse quickened and she hands turned to fists, who knew what she had told him. Probably not the same stuff on the average school curriculum “Why Bunnie?”
“She said she was experienced and that you would be uncomfortable doing it.” Well that was certainly true.
“Aunt Sally, I’m young not naïve. I know what sex is, I know what Shadow and I would be doing and I’ve known about what Bunnie and Antoine are into since I was eleven. You know, with the whole whips, chains, leather and stuff.” He really does know! She had always seen Tails as innocent, now she found he knew about S&M when he wasn’t even a teenager. “Now what’s this gift? ’Cos if its condoms then it might be a bit obsolete.”
“No, it isn’t condoms. Its something I want to give you to make sure you don’t get hurt.”
“A taser?” She stared at him before continuing, every fibre of her being rebelled against what she was going to do but she knew it was for the best. It just wasn’t right for a mother to do this kind of thing. It was too embarrassing.
“No, this.” She put her hand under her bed and brought out what looked a bit like a tube of toothpaste, handing it to Tails he almost fell over laughing when he was what written on the side. The manufacture had obviously gone for humour to try and get over the embarrassment it would no doubt cause.
“Easy-Lube water based lubricant. Handy for any situation which requires parts of you to be wet and slippery.” Sally was, to his surprise, blushing more than he had ever seen anyone blush. The rosy tint easily seen through her cheek fur. Tails had to milk this for all it was worth, despite how much it was embarrassing her. “Why Aunt Sally, what am I supposed to do with this?” He said innocently.
“When you and Shadow…make love, yo-your supposed to put it on your butt and Shadow‘s thingy and when you- you already know everything I’m telling you don’t you.” Tails nodded grinning. “You just did that to embarrass me.” Tails nodded again. “That’s mean Tails.” He nodded again, this time more vigorously. “I suppose there is only one way to get my own back then.” Tails went to nod and then stopped.
“What do you mean?” He asked her nervously looking around for a trap of some sort.
“Bunnie still hasn’t told me about the embarrassing secret of yours, I’m going to go ask her!” Sally sprinted out of the room with a worried Tails following as quickly as he could. She ran across the village straight to Bunnie’s hut and barged in.
When Tails caught up with her she was sitting on the floor by Bunnie’s hut wide eyed, blushing and Tails wasn’t sure but he thought she may have gone into heat.
“She’s busy, I’ll ask her later.”
-----------------------------------
Terios had endure the painful tests and the cruel jabbing because he had no other choice, tears had run down his muzzle and stained his cheeks whilst he still felt the burning pain left by some of the crueller instruments. He didn’t like this yet it was being done to him, as the new project was only a few hours old he had little idea of how the world worked. But to his simplistic brain people hurting him didn’t make any sense. The poor, beaten Hedgehog had been dragged off by the horrible red eyed creature he had grown to fear so much and placed in front of his Master at his control room. Snively had followed closely behind, not needing to help now that Terios had figured out walking.
“Is it-”
“He” Snively corrected.
“He ready then?”
“Yes Lord Robotnik. We have tested everything and installed any new software we possibly could. His speed is yet to be tested fully but I doubt he will prove to be significantly slower than Sonic.”
“Terios! Respond!”
“Yes my master!!” The words came from Terios’ mouth in an instant, bypassing his brain and heading straight out of his lips.
“What is your function?”
“I live to obey!! Your will is law!!” Every time he responded automatically it was quick and somewhat lifeless.
“Good, I will test you. You will follow Snively to the training room and he will set you a task. Go.” Snively walked off and Terios found himself following automatically, every step sending agony through his body but carrying on anyway. He couldn’t stop himself, he just did it.
When they were gone Metal Sonic turned to his “Master” genuinely curious.
“MASTER, WHY DID YOU CREATE THIS CREATURE? I AM FAR SUPERIOR TO HIS ORGANIC FORM, WHAT MISSION REQUIRES HIM ONLY?”
“One mission and one mission only. In a few days a conference is going to be held in Station Square. Those attending will include you with my hologram projecting unit, Princess Acorn and no doubt Sonic and the President of the human colonies along with the GUN general.” The holographic projection unit was the real genius, it would look absolutely real like Robotnik was actually their. At the same time tiny nanobots would be floating inside the projection, allowing him to touch things and appear even more real. Although MS would do most physical work.
“WHY?”
“Simple, the President is an idiot. He is too trusting ad cowardly, I convinced him that I would be willing to form an alliance, make a deal if you will.” The moron scientist was bathing in his own self-satisfaction.
“WHAT KIND OF DEAL?”
“I have said that If we form an alliance I will not only leave the colonies alone but I will trade with them. Give them advanced technology and weapons, and the idiot believed me!”
“WHAT HAVE YOU DEMANDED IN RETURN?”
“That they help me conquer the Mobians and destroy the Freedom Fighters. That is what the conference is for, GUN must decide who to side with.”
“IS IT NOT THE PRESIDENTS DECISION?”
“That’s the glorious thing, the President has very little power that GUN doesn’t also control. If he did something that they didn’t agree with they’d simply kick him out and take control. If he is killed then the same happens, only with a body bag.” He laughed maniacally.
“THE HUMANS WILL NOT SIDE WITH YOU, THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF YOU AND THE SPECIESIST ATTITUDE IS RARER NOW.”
“That’s correct, but the fear is what will get them on my side. And I will ensure that anti-Mobian sentiments are stirred up again with Terios!” The pieces fell into place now, that why Terios was made like an organic. He was meant to look like a normal Mobian. “He will pretend to try and assassinate the President, killing hundreds of people in the process. Later at the conference he will try again but not touch the Princess whilst also looking like he wishes to harm me. He will flee the scene after failing and then that device in his chest makes him go boom in the middle of a densely populated area. Then all it will take is the delightful human media to stir up the rest of the speciesism.” It was actually a good plan, Metal Sonic was amazed. He had always thought that his design must have simply congealed on a piece of paper and then been created, now it turned out that his current master may actually be half-way intelligent and really could have designed him. It shocked him to the core of his CPU that the man who had once worn his underpants on his head into battle could really have created him.
“Holy shit.” Metal Sonic exclaimed in a perfectly normal Hedgehog voice, allowing the shock and amazement to break the programming that was never meant to handle emotions.

Great Chaos this is a long one.
Give me a R give me a E give me a V give me a I give me a E and give me a W.
What’s that spell? That’s right! REVIEW, especially you two BB and LU. I need regular reviewers.
Lu, sorry this took so long. I’ve been attempting what has come dangerously close to a social life lately. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. And I know I did the first Shream chapter early but I wanted to see if there was any support for the pairing.
Thanks for reviewing me BB, its really good to see that someone else is enjoying this fiction like Lu is. First of all, yes Sally did have a jacket in the comics somewhere. And in the SATAMs later. But I leave her without it most of the time unless I have some reason, because frankly why does she need it? The only reason I think she was given it was to stop people complaining about her. Also I do like those trapped moments the best but sadly there probably won’t be many more unless I go with one of my other plot point ideas. And don’t worry I have plenty more moves for the U.L to pull off. There will probably be even more in my next fiction which will be a ShadowCream. Are you a fan of that rarer than diamond pairing? It will be an older Cream bare in mind.
Thanks for the advice and enjoy the rest of my fiction. : )
Next: Any really strange dialogue here is the product of a deranged imagination, the Sally/Bunnie conversation is just a joke but you take it how you like. It can have multiple meanings.
Also, as I went over my fic from the beginning I realised that whilst I stated I didn’t own the characters I never said who did so here it is.
Disclaimer:
All characters belong to SEGA/Sonic Team or…actually I don’t know who owns Sally, Bunnie, Rotor or any of the SATAM’s characters. Their creators- that’ll do. Did Sonic Team create the others too? The original creators own these characters used okay? The other Hedgehog in this chapter was an idea thought up by Sonic Team and added to by me because Sonic Team were too lazy to get of their asses and give him a back-story. HEAR ME NAKA-SAN!!!!! He heard me.

Shadow awoke early in the morning, he had slept fantastically. No bad dreams or nightmares at all! The sun shone through a gap in the curtains and warmed the bed they were using together, although Shadow was already comfortable with the body heat his soft furry Fox was generating. Lying on his side on the bed Tails was in front of him and Shadow had fallen asleep hugging him from behind, allowing him to take deep breaths of his neck for the musky Fox scent that he had grown to love in a very short amount of time.
Content with staying on the bed with his love Shadow hugged the Fox closer to him and closed his eyes again, concentrating only on the soft fur pressed against him. Letting Tails’ gentle breaths lull him back to a blissfully dreamless sleep.
------------------------------------------
8220;And I thought you were exaggerating Sally-girl. But they are cute together.” The voice brought Shadow to wake up, although he kept his eyes closed to see what the strange Rabbit woman would say next. According to his nose the cyborg was accompanied by the Princess.
“Aren’t they, I would take a picture but I think Shadow would try and break Nicole.”
“Aww look at them cuddle, I’m glad you talked me into getting up now Sal. And I was tired after that long, hard night.”
“Your own fault, you wanted to try out those new high-powered toys.”
“Good idea filming it with Nicole though.”
“I am awake ladies.” Shadow told them opening his eyes still cuddling the Kitsune. “And I’ll pretend I never heard that little conversation.” The two were leaning over him and Tails and smiling at the scene. “Can I help you two?”
“Yes, you can wake your love up, can’t you?” Sally asked him WAY too comfortably. People weren’t supposed to feel comfortable around him. They were supposed to run or hide! He decided to follow the instructions anyway, but in a way that would hopefully make her uncomfortable. By bringing his mouth to the back of Tails’ neck and nibbling it gently. Making him writhe around a bit in his sleep before forcing him to wake up.
“Aunt Sally? Bunnie? What are you doing here?” He asked when he awoke to see the females giggling at the way Shadow had chosen to rouse him from his sleep.
“Watching you and Shadow be adorable Tails.” Bunnie told him.
“Don’t mind us though, you two carry on with whatever you were planning on doing.” Sally told them showing no sign of leaving. Well if a show was what they wanted that was what they’d get! Shadow moved a hand still around Tails down to just above his sheath, which he made sure was easily seen by the two watching Mobians whilst another was brought stealthily up to Tails’ back and began to massage the pressure points located there, making him moan slightly. To Sally and Bunnie it appeared that Shadow, still pressed against Tails back, was “playing” with the young Fox.
“St-stop that!” Sally was watching wide-eyed at the scene whilst Bunnie giggled.
“You wanted a show Princess Acorn. This will teach you to barge in uninvited.”
“Horny bastards aren’t they?” Bunnie commented.
“Don’t worry Aunt Sally, he’s not doing what you think he is. Unfortunately.” Sally breathed a sign of relief at this and then backtracked to the word “unfortunately”.
------------------------------------- -----------
The creature stirred in its tank, wondering where it was. The tank itself was filled with green liquid and bubbles, and outside it a dark room could be seen. Pipes ran out of its spine and went through the glass, pain wracked its form. Screaming through its nerves from where metal clumsily met its body, grafted directly on with no concern for well-being. Beyond the tank it was able to see a room full of computers and odd looking robots which seemed to be watching it. Especially terrifying was a streamlined blue robot with a jet engine embedded in its chest. It was glaring at him in disgust.
A man entered the room, its brain immediately recognised it as the Master. Doctor Julian Robotnik, his name was burnt into its very memory and the programs that ran in its brain.
Primary objective 1: Obey Master Robotnik‘s orders.
Secondary objective 1: Destroy GUN
Secondary objective 2: Destroy the Freedom Fighters
The Doctor walked up to its tank and tapped on it with a pencil to get its attention. When he realised his creation was awake he shouted for his nephew, Snively.
It observed a short bald Human walk in after a few seconds. He was dressed in a grey military uniform and seemed to walk with an aura of a calm and contained man. He seemed to almost constantly glare at his uncle, who didn‘t notice. This mans profile was in its memory too.
“Snively! Let this thing out at once!” He seemed to speak in short bursts, probably to sound more commanding.
“As you wish Lord Robotnik.” His voice was a nasally whine. He walked over to a computer console and began to type in access codes. As the tank drained its creator droned on in a speech.
“Finally, I have done it. A creature to easily rival Sonic and destroy that ridiculous ancient weapon. It will follow my every order and assure my victory.”
“The creature appears to be a he Lord Robotnik.”
“Very well Snively, he will follow my every order and assure my victory.” The tank had almost drained completely now and the newest creation felt cold and weak. When the tank opened out and the metal disengaged him he fell to the floor, to the disgust of his creator. Who began to prod him with his foot and swear.
------------------------------------
Snively watched the poor black and orange Hedgehog attempt to stand, odd that he almost cared about this one when he had sent so many Mobians to their Robotic fate. But he knew it was just sympathy, Julian never appreciated him! His ideas, his cunning, his intelligence! Here was yet another fantastic amazing creature who the idiot was mistreating! Prodding like it was a common circus animal.
The Hedgehog looked almost identical to Project: Shadow, whom they had caught on camera destroying important buildings before attacking the research lab, although there were quite a few differences worthy of noting. First of all whilst he was black the normally red fur was orange, and so were the eyes. Next the tuft of fur was not their, replaced by a tiny metal triangle with an odd red light in the centre. The idiot refused to tell him the purpose of this device but it wasn’t likely anything good for the Hedgehog could come of it. Lastly the right arm, a perfect copy of a normal Mobian arm, folded back along several invisible seams to reveal a compact rocket/grenade launcher invisible to X-ray. Something that Snively knew would just impede the new creature, although he said nothing, as he would likely be blown up if Shadow happened to realise that Robotnik had stuffed high powered rockets inside his copies limb.
“Snively!”
“Yes my lord?
“Take him to the medical bay for testing. If we haven’t gotten it right this time I doubt we ever will!” The evil blob that he was, to his disgust, related to waddled off to oversee the empire he had gained.
“Metal Sonic. Assist me.” Instead of obeying Snively the robot growled at him electronically. On the floor the creature whimpered.
“ONLY UNIT: ROBOTNIK GIVES ME ORDERS!” The voice was electronic like so many others but it was unique obviously. Metal Sonic was one of the few creatures artificial or otherwise in Robotropilis with sentience, with emotions. He was alive and most certainly angry. He had been denied the chance to attack Sonic outright and had then found out that there was another creature like him which he was also not to harm.
“Just help you idiot, or I’ll tell Lord Robotnik that you only call him Master when he’s in the room. I’m sure he will be interested at that.” He wouldn’t though, Metal Sonic was the only robot that Snively knew wasn’t completely loyal to the lard-arse. Metal Sonic knew this too but obeyed anyway, knowing Snively as a good ally to have when he rebelled against his “Master”. Whilst they didn’t like each other as such they saw each other as the only other sane and intelligent creature around. And it was always amusing to laugh about the “ Master’s ” failures behind his back with someone else.
“AFFIRMATVE UNIT: SNIVELY.” The robot went to pick up the arms of the now terrified creature.
“And be careful too, we don’t want to hurt him.” Snively picked up the legs and they moved through to a lift, carrying him onwards to the medical bay.
------------------------------------
Shadow had been talked into going on a walk through the village with Sally, how this had been accomplished he wasn’t exactly sure. It didn’t seem to be something he would himself agree to, and Tails didn’t really say anything about it. But nevertheless he was now accompanying the hybrid Princess, if uncomfortably, as she prepared to interrogate him on his “intentions”. Instead of carrying on walking around she got him to sit by her on a bench in the middle of the village, underneath a large oak tree which hung overhead. She made sure only to talk when no one was around, further confusing the Hedgehog. He liked his privacy but she was really making sure no one heard them.
“Now Shadow, I know this whole heart to heart talk is usually done by the Dad.” She said when she had stopped being paranoid about spies.
“Is it? I wouldn’t know. I have little knowledge of normal customs.”
“Yes, it is. However, you probably noticed that Tails doesn’t really want Sonic to know.”
“Yes, I noticed. Although why I am unsure.” Now Sally had to explain that as well, how she was supposed to explain how some of society saw gays she had no idea.
“Well Shadow, many people are uncomfortable around homosexuals. Tails wants to hide the fact that you and he are… together.”
“And?” Not what she was expecting.
“That doesn’t bother you? Like not at all?” That was puzzling, Shadow didn’t seem to care whatever happened. Or he did and just hid it very well.
“I care nothing for other people’s opinions but if Tails does then we will hide it.” Definitely different from those romance novels Bunnie lent her went. Of course calling any of Bunnie’s literature a “novel” was pushing the definition a bit. But still, the parts that weren’t all erotica always dealt with how “the two males struggled to hide their love for each other, wanting more than anything to let people know what they felt” or at least that’s how the blurb told the story. That was like the first 5 chapters until it descended into 10 chapters that would make anyone blush. It had been a good book though, very useful when Sonic was on long missions.
“So you don’t mind having to pretend then?”
“No. Should I?”
“Well yes. No, yes. You should really.”
“Why?” His perfectly emotionless tone was beginning to annoy Sally, it was hard to explain anything to someone who talked like that. He asked like he would prefer to know but wouldn’t care if she didn’t tell him. It was like he was perfectly neutral in every way!
“You just should, when people are in love they want to shout from the rooftops and let everyone know how they feel about each other.” She had definitely been reading to many romance books if she had said that to him.
“That sounds idiotic, I know I’m in love. Why would I feel it necessary to inform anyone else?” She sighed.
“You just don’t understand how real romance works Shadow.”
“I don’t think I understand how mortals work.” She thought she caught a tiny hint of emotion in that part, was it depression? Sorrow? Maybe it was regret? What was going on in the head of the Hedgehog was anyone’s guess.
“Well that may just be true. Anyway, what I really wanted to ask you about was your intentions towards Tails.” More romance novels were being used here and Shadow raised an eyebrow at the unusually phrased question. Sally’s parents had never had this talk with her and so she was almost quoting from “Love Forbidden” directly at the moment.
“I don’t intend anything, I have nothing planned.”
“What do you mean you have nothing “planned”?”
“I was not expecting to be in a relationship with him, therefore I have no plans for the future regarding him.”
“I think you misunderstood me Shadow, I mean about you sleeping with Tails.” Again Shadow raised an eyebrow, wondering why she had not just said.
“He snuck into my bed but I think we will probably do it more often.” Sally knew Shadow wasn’t stupid, he was in fact very intelligent. But he seemed to take things too…literally, he didn’t understand that she was embarrassed talking about this kind of thing and was trying to tiptoe around the word she was dreading. Sally lost her patience.
“Oh for the love of God, I mean SEX! Sleeping together means sex!”
“What about it?”
“I mean when are you two planning on doing it?”
“What business is it of yours?” His voice turned colder and slightly more menacing. That didn’t really sound good to the princess, that could mean anything. Sally had gotten the two together, but she didn‘t want Tails to have sex so early on in his life and with someone so old, even Sonic admitted that she was his first when they had had sex and that had been when they were about 17! I can‘t believe I never thought about this when I tried to get Tails to admit he loved him! I just forgot about sex altogether! Sally sighed wearily. Not knowing how she should react to the thought that the two might have sex. Am I supposed to be happy? Do I just ignore it?
“Look Shadow, you have to see it from my point of view. Tails is my son, and he’s only 14 years old.” Shadow waited for her to explain why this was a problem, luckily she had already realised that he probably did not know about the age of consent. “You see Shadow, its generally thought that people below a certain age should not have sex.” Maria had mentioned something about this to him before, that had been what had worried her so much. Obviously even with all the information about physics, biology, chemistry and more that the Professor had given him he hadn’t thought to include this. Unsurprising really.
“What age?”
“Around 18 or so.” That definitely explained a lot, Maria had been terrified of what the Professor would think if they told him about how they felt about each other, and what they had done together. Too bad they had never gotten the chance to say anything, Shadow was curious to know how the old man would react. “And its seen as strange and pretty disturbing when one of the people in the relationship is so much older than the other. I mean, you may look fairly young but we all know you’re over fifty.”
“That is correct.”
“Well then, you see that I have my fourteen year old son going out with a…” She took a guess at his age. “What? Sixty-eight year old guy?” As soon as that had come out of her mouth she couldn’t help feel disturbed, true Shadow didn’t look like he was that old and she knew it wasn’t like that but even so…the thought was disgusting. She mentally banished the thought, reminding herself that this was what would make Tails happy.
“I’m not sixty-eight. I’m fifty-six.” He corrected her and she started to apologise before her face changed into an expression of disbelief.
“You are fifty-six.” He nodded. “With fifty years spent in a cryogenic tube.” She said each word slowly so that there was no possible way she could have gotten them wrong. He nodded again. “So correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t that make you six years old if you don’t count the imprisonment?”
“Yes, it does.” Tails is older than Shadow!!! Well kind of. Shadow isn’t any kind of pervert, Tails is just an unknowing pedophile! Wait…is that better? “Chronologically I am fifty-six, physically I was created- and still am twenty years old and I would consider the amount of time I spent fully alive to be six years.” Sally didn’t know whether to giggle at the strange turn of events or feel sorry that the Hedgehog was imprisoned so young.
“Still, my original point remains. I don’t think Tails is old enough to lose his virginity, and now that I know this I don’t think you are either.” Shadow turned to face her directly in the eyes and she was sure she caught some unknown emotion in those deep, red orbs. For a second she could almost see why Tails loved him. Almost.
“First, my virginity is long gone- about half a century back if you want to find it, second switch that A.I off.” Sally took Nicole off of her utility belt and turned her off, wanting to hear what the Hedgehog had to say.
“Okay, she’s off. Why did you want me to do that anyway?”
“Because I don’t want a record of what I am going to say to exist, and you would probably tape it and somehow use it to blackmail me or the Fox-boy.” She frowned at the idea that he thought she would do something like that but let him continue. “It is highly likely that Tails and I will have sex, if only because I doubt he can wait four years to do it. But I know this for certain, I love him and he is certainly ready. He is more mature than most people on this pathetic planet and is certainly intelligent enough to make his own decisions instead of someone else making them for him.” He sounded arrogant when he said that but he did have a point, her father (who was trapped in another dimension currently - don’t ask, it’s a long, long SATAM story) hated Sonic. And didn’t think she was mature enough to know if she loved him, but she did.
“How can you possibly know he’s ready? He doesn’t even know what he would be…doing with you.” Until now those images had been safely locked up in her head but now a select few were escaping and threatening her sanity. She wasn’t homophobic at all but a small maternal part of her was still creeped out at the idea of the two…going at it.
“He knows enough to make a few erotic innuendos.” She saw his smirking face and asked what Tails had said but he refused to divulge more information before disappearing in a teleport.
-----------------------------------------
The Hedgehog shivered and twitched erratically as he was laid on the cold metal examination table, the medical bay was little more than the name the idiot gave the place where- among other things- he ripped apart test subjects and augmented them manually to test effects on free-will and productivity. It was unsuitable for looking after a creature in any comfort and was a large silver room filled with machinery for “testing” the few Mobians brought in that weren’t roboticised immediately. Metal Sonic stared in disgust at the creation writhe around in fear, cold and the shock from leaving his tube so hastily and without care.
“INFERIOR ORGANIC UNIT: FILE NAME NOT FOUND” Metal Sonic didn’t realise he didn’t know the creature’s name in time to stop himself from humiliating himself. Snively didn’t know how but the machine managed to pull off a perfectly passable (and even humorous) expression of confusion without, it seemed, actually changing his face.
“The moron called it Project: Terios.”
“SEARCHING DATA BANKS…….MATCH FOUND. TERIOS, MEANING: “REFLECTION OF”.
“Correct, he actually got something accurate for once.” Who were these strange creatures the cyborg Hedgehog asked itself. They called him Terios, was that his name? He seemed to remember something else too, another name used on him.
“Can you understand us Terios?” Terios nodded.
“GOOD, LET THE EXPERIMENTS BEGIN!” Metal Sonic’s voice always gained more life when he was hurting something, sometimes it even gained a real, normal voice. Similar to Sonic’s.
“Your evil.” Snively told him, without disapproval.
“I TRY MY BEST.” Screams rang out through the nearby area, as the two tested every part of Terios’ body for defects with the large painful scanning devices and intrusive tools, most of it was done by MS himself. He enjoyed torturing things so much.
----------------------------------
Tails had found himself bored, none was around. Bunnie had wondered off to her hut and Tails wasn’t allowed to go anywhere near that, it was one of the farthest away from other huts and people said (often in amusement) that if you went up there in the middle of the night you could hear shrieks and screams. Tails wasn’t stupid or naïve, he knew what she and her boyfriend did but stayed away and feigned ignorance because he didn’t want his Aunt Sally to know that he wasn’t as innocent as she thought.
He rarely played with the other children of his own age, most of them were idiots and/or bullies. They always just wanted to run around in the forest screaming and daring each other to go into Robotropilis or boast about the robots they had seen. A few of them regularly made fun of his mutation anyway. In truth his best friends were Sonic or Rotor, Sonic was in the city stealing machine parts from a warehouse so that simply left Rotor. It took him quite a while to walk to the garage but he eventually got there and heard the sound of Rotor burning himself soldering circuits.
“Hey Tails.” The Walrus was working on some kind of gun as the Fox walked into the workshop. It was a large arm cannon, painted red and with the exterior missing on one side where the mechanic had yet to finish. He poked around inside with a solder and a piece of wire, finishing small circuits and correcting faults. Every so often he would let out a short ow.
“What’s that?” Tails asked him, pointing to the weapon.
“A surprise for your boyfriend next time he starts getting threatening.” He answered “could you pass me that 150F capacitor?”
“Sure, here you go.” Tails reached into Rotors tool box and took the component. After handing it to the Walrus alarm bells went off in his head, Rotor had said boyfriend. “What do you mean boyfriend Rotor?” He asked nervously.
“Bunnie told Antoine and Antoine told me. I don’t think anyone else knows though, Bunnie said she’d “punish” ‘Twoine if he told anyone else. And not in the way he likes.”
“So you know Shadow and I are…together.” Rotor put down his tools and turned to face the Fox.
“Yeah.” Sally had been right about people acting differently, there was an awkwardness in the air and it was making Tails uncomfortable. Rotor on the other hand was just unsure what to say.
“Look, you don’t have to worry. I’m not attracted to you or anything.” To his surprise the Walrus laughed before answering.
“I don’t know whether to be relieved or insulted. Is it my eyes? Aren’t they nice enough. Oh I know, Shadow has the more attractive behind doesn‘t he!” The last bit left him laughing again and Tails wasn’t sure whether to laugh or hit him over the head with a wrench.
“Oh ha ha. Your just jealous you didn’t get him first.”
“Yeah, he’s obviously a great catch. Strong, fast, violent, possibly insane.”
“Good kisser.” Tails added.
“I did not need to know that.” Revenge would belong to the Fox!
“Oh no, you seemed so interested too. I know, I’ll tell you what we did last night.” Rotors eye actually began twitching.
“That’s not necessary.”
“No, please. You‘ll love this story. You see we were both in bed and Shadow reached over and- Rotor come back, the story hasn’t even got to the good bit yet.” Rotor ran straight out of the workshop, passing Sally on her way to talk to Tails and give him something.
“Talk to your son about how liberal he is with information on his sex-life!” Sally walked into the garage to find Tails on the floor laughing at the reaction he had gotten.
“What was that about Tails.” She asked with a raised eyebrow. The Fox got up still smiling.
“Nothing Aunt Sally, Rotor was just going for his morning run.”
“Good, I always thought that lazy Walrus needed more exercise. Now I want to talk to you in private and give you something, follow me.” She refused to say anymore an Tails followed her to her own hut. Once inside she sat the Fox down on the bed and Tails immediately knew that it was another heart to heart talk.
“Now Tails, I was talking with Shadow today as you know and something was brought to my attention.”
“What?”
“Well, your getting to the age where you are beginning to feel urges and may wan-” Tails cut her off.
“Don’t worry Aunt Sally, Bunnie already gave me this talk a few months back.” He informed her smiling.
“Bunnie?” Sally’s pulse quickened and she hands turned to fists, who knew what she had told him. Probably not the same stuff on the average school curriculum “Why Bunnie?”
“She said she was experienced and that you would be uncomfortable doing it.” Well that was certainly true.
“Aunt Sally, I’m young not naïve. I know what sex is, I know what Shadow and I would be doing and I’ve known about what Bunnie and Antoine are into since I was eleven. You know, with the whole whips, chains, leather and stuff.” He really does know! She had always seen Tails as innocent, now she found he knew about S&M when he wasn’t even a teenager. “Now what’s this gift? ’Cos if its condoms then it might be a bit obsolete.”
“No, it isn’t condoms. Its something I want to give you to make sure you don’t get hurt.”
“A taser?” She stared at him before continuing, every fibre of her being rebelled against what she was going to do but she knew it was for the best. It just wasn’t right for a mother to do this kind of thing. It was too embarrassing.
“No, this.” She put her hand under her bed and brought out what looked a bit like a tube of toothpaste, handing it to Tails he almost fell over laughing when he was what written on the side. The manufacture had obviously gone for humour to try and get over the embarrassment it would no doubt cause.
“Easy-Lube water based lubricant. Handy for any situation which requires parts of you to be wet and slippery.” Sally was, to his surprise, blushing more than he had ever seen anyone blush. The rosy tint easily seen through her cheek fur. Tails had to milk this for all it was worth, despite how much it was embarrassing her. “Why Aunt Sally, what am I supposed to do with this?” He said innocently.
“When you and Shadow…make love, yo-your supposed to put it on your butt and Shadow‘s thingy and when you- you already know everything I’m telling you don’t you.” Tails nodded grinning. “You just did that to embarrass me.” Tails nodded again. “That’s mean Tails.” He nodded again, this time more vigorously. “I suppose there is only one way to get my own back then.” Tails went to nod and then stopped.
“What do you mean?” He asked her nervously looking around for a trap of some sort.
“Bunnie still hasn’t told me about the embarrassing secret of yours, I’m going to go ask her!” Sally sprinted out of the room with a worried Tails following as quickly as he could. She ran across the village straight to Bunnie’s hut and barged in.
When Tails caught up with her she was sitting on the floor by Bunnie’s hut wide eyed, blushing and Tails wasn’t sure but he thought she may have gone into heat.
“She’s busy, I’ll ask her later.”
-----------------------------------
Terios had endure the painful tests and the cruel jabbing because he had no other choice, tears had run down his muzzle and stained his cheeks whilst he still felt the burning pain left by some of the crueller instruments. He didn’t like this yet it was being done to him, as the new project was only a few hours old he had little idea of how the world worked. But to his simplistic brain people hurting him didn’t make any sense. The poor, beaten Hedgehog had been dragged off by the horrible red eyed creature he had grown to fear so much and placed in front of his Master at his control room. Snively had followed closely behind, not needing to help now that Terios had figured out walking.
“Is it-”
“He” Snively corrected.
“He ready then?”
“Yes Lord Robotnik. We have tested everything and installed any new software we possibly could. His speed is yet to be tested fully but I doubt he will prove to be significantly slower than Sonic.”
“Terios! Respond!”
“Yes my master!!” The words came from Terios’ mouth in an instant, bypassing his brain and heading straight out of his lips.
“What is your function?”
“I live to obey!! Your will is law!!” Every time he responded automatically it was quick and somewhat lifeless.
“Good, I will test you. You will follow Snively to the training room and he will set you a task. Go.” Snively walked off and Terios found himself following automatically, every step sending agony through his body but carrying on anyway. He couldn’t stop himself, he just did it.
When they were gone Metal Sonic turned to his “Master” genuinely curious.
“MASTER, WHY DID YOU CREATE THIS CREATURE? I AM FAR SUPERIOR TO HIS ORGANIC FORM, WHAT MISSION REQUIRES HIM ONLY?”
“One mission and one mission only. In a few days a conference is going to be held in Station Square. Those attending will include you with my hologram projecting unit, Princess Acorn and no doubt Sonic and the President of the human colonies along with the GUN general.” The holographic projection unit was the real genius, it would look absolutely real like Robotnik was actually their. At the same time tiny nanobots would be floating inside the projection, allowing him to touch things and appear even more real. Although MS would do most physical work.
“WHY?”
“Simple, the President is an idiot. He is too trusting ad cowardly, I convinced him that I would be willing to form an alliance, make a deal if you will.” The moron scientist was bathing in his own self-satisfaction.
“WHAT KIND OF DEAL?”
“I have said that If we form an alliance I will not only leave the colonies alone but I will trade with them. Give them advanced technology and weapons, and the idiot believed me!”
“WHAT HAVE YOU DEMANDED IN RETURN?”
“That they help me conquer the Mobians and destroy the Freedom Fighters. That is what the conference is for, GUN must decide who to side with.”
“IS IT NOT THE PRESIDENTS DECISION?”
“That’s the glorious thing, the President has very little power that GUN doesn’t also control. If he did something that they didn’t agree with they’d simply kick him out and take control. If he is killed then the same happens, only with a body bag.” He laughed maniacally.
“THE HUMANS WILL NOT SIDE WITH YOU, THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF YOU AND THE SPECIESIST ATTITUDE IS RARER NOW.”
“That’s correct, but the fear is what will get them on my side. And I will ensure that anti-Mobian sentiments are stirred up again with Terios!” The pieces fell into place now, that why Terios was made like an organic. He was meant to look like a normal Mobian. “He will pretend to try and assassinate the President, killing hundreds of people in the process. Later at the conference he will try again but not touch the Princess whilst also looking like he wishes to harm me. He will flee the scene after failing and then that device in his chest makes him go boom in the middle of a densely populated area. Then all it will take is the delightful human media to stir up the rest of the speciesism.” It was actually a good plan, Metal Sonic was amazed. He had always thought that his design must have simply congealed on a piece of paper and then been created, now it turned out that his current master may actually be half-way intelligent and really could have designed him. It shocked him to the core of his CPU that the man who had once worn his underpants on his head into battle could really have created him.
“Holy shit.” Metal Sonic exclaimed in a perfectly normal Hedgehog voice, allowing the shock and amazement to break the programming that was never meant to handle emotions.

Great Chaos this is a long one.
Give me a R give me a E give me a V give me a I give me a E and give me a W.
What’s that spell? That’s right! REVIEW, especially you two BB and LU. I need regular reviewers.
Lu, sorry this took so long. I’ve been attempting what has come dangerously close to a social life lately. Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. And I know I did the first Shream chapter early but I wanted to see if there was any support for the pairing.
