Chapter Text
Prologue: Betrayal
My name is Dark Side of the World. I've finally finished this Sonic fic that I've had months of planning on doing. Finally, I can Submit it. Anyway, this is an AU Sonic story where Mobius is just a part of earth, humans exist, and it takes place in the Archie universe. There will be also many changes, but you'll see them as the story goes. Oh, and there are demons and kick ass demons slaying.
The reason I wanted to make this fic was because A. I love Sonic. B. Tails is my favorite character. and C. Devil May Cry kicks ass! (Except 2, that was boring)
While Dante or Virgil or any of the characters you know and love will not be in this. Sparta and some Demons you know from DMC3 will appear.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that is not mine!
This isn't my first sonic fic, nor will this be my last.
Just before we begin however, the weird language that you see is not Satanic at all. It's Drow, or Dark Elvean from Role Playing games.
Enjoy.
" One should rather die then be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though… betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope."

Prologue: Betrayal
(Unknown location)
Darkness.
That was all that one could see in the small area. Yet a small glimmer of light comes from a black candle in the middle. Underneath it, an upside-down pentagram with demonic runes runs through its symbol in many directions.
At first we hear nothing, but then….
"Dal chath del oloth… ulu niaren del mithuth… Usstan luth tarthe lil valmuth del yibiness."
A dark voice spoke in a language of the old and now dead.
"Elakar zuneerrh zhah naut del Phraktos jhal del nesstren lueth errdegahr."
A dark and eerie sound erupts from nowhere.
"Whol dosst yorn phuul lil yorn nindel morfeth ssussun veldri wun lil veldrin."
The light from the candle glows and then fades out as the speaker says,
"Haruk pholor lil ogglinnar del yorn, streea ulu lil uss vel'uss cha'kohk dosst yorn, duul'sso ulu nindyn vel'uss ap'za zhah mzild garethur t'yin nindel del dro"
The sinful pentagram glows with red energy as it lights the darkness around it to reveal a shadowy figure barley dimmed by the light.
Creek!
A small door opens and a black cloaked figure, with his hood up comes inside saying, "We have found the son of the maiden."
"Are you sure?" Said the dark figure.
"The other priests have done there morning prayers. We will complete the ritual as soon as we have the child." Said the cloaked figure.
"Where is he?"
"… Knothole."

BLOODTAIL: THE DEMON HUNTER

(Music ends)
(Knothole)
To understand one's own path one must understand one's world.
It all really began in Earth year 3345. Humanity had just come in contact with a strange alien species only known as the Xorda. While it seemed they were friendly, the Xorda were really a species looking for a new world to enrich for there own. Although humanity offered the option of coexistence, the Xorda had other plans.
Secretly, the Xorda's were planning to launch a bomb that would destroy all human DNA thus wiping out the human race and make way for the Xorda to use Earth as there home.
But something went wrong; instead of destroying DNA it somehow mutated it. At least 40 percent of the Human world's DNA was morphed into an alarming upgraded form of genetic code.
The "upgraded" humans had developed a large increment in IQ, up to 250 at least, and advanced forms of intellect. However a few back changes were made, these humans had only 4 fingers, and had developed strange mental changes including malignant narcissism and sometimes sad*stic personality disorder.
They called themselves, "Overlanders."
Realizing that the Xorda's were not friends and almost destroyed them, humanity fought back.
It was a bloody war, one the raged everywhere and had its price. Many humans were lost and many cities and habitats were destroyed, but mankind triumphed due to the Overlanders advanced intelligence and weapons.
A few years after the war, something else happened that changed Earth and humanity.
As it turned out, the bomb the Xorda's fired on Earth also had a strange reaction to the animals of earth's nature. The bomb had made the DNA of animals to change. It allowed evolution to advance 500 generations ahead and made normal animals into Anthrosapians or animals with human characteristics.
It was amazing. A dog could walk on two legs, a horse could talk, and a lizard could feel emotions. The anthro's were becoming more and more human.
For a few decades, the anthrosapians and humans lived together coexisting and learning from one another, but the anthrosapians wanted to have there own land, there own place to call home. Over time the land of Earth changed due to the war and new lands were discovered in places nobody would ever dream of.
Humanity allowed them to rule a large part of the world as there own and they made there own nation known as Mobius. After establishing there own lands and dividing them. Humanity and Mobius drifted apart and suddenly lost contact with each other.
As Mobius went into its own history over the millennias, things were getting rough in the Human lands.
Overlanders were becoming more greedy and powerful. There mental disorders increased resulting in Psychopathy and Sociopathy. Eventually, a distance between humans and overlanders had erupted and although there could have been many conclusions, the worst came.
War.
War between the humans, who wished to stop overlanders from ruling them, and overlanders, who wanted to rule humanity in there stead.
Although Overlanders had the technology, they didn't have the manpower.
Humans had driven them out and they soon found themselves in lands nobody owned or knew.
Realizing they couldn't defeat humanity right now they decided to rule the mobians and take there lands.
Thus the Great War was fought in Mobius. The overlanders spared nobody. They killed women and children, even after they begged for mercy. The mobians tried to fight, but they were no match. The government of the human lands tried to help, but a large blockade stopped humanity from helping and they were still too weak from there battles with the overlanders.
Just as all hope was lost a miracle came.
Dr. Julian of the House of Ivo and his nephew Snively, were on the run from the overlanders for crimes of treason. Seeking refuge with the Mobians, they persuaded the newly crowned king, King Maximillian to let them help in order to be safe from death.
Against the wishes of his court he did.
The result was amazing.
Dr. Julian and his nephew developed new machines of war that allowed the Mobians to gain back what was there's. The overlanders were now on the losing side as there numbers grew thinner and thinner. Finally, they decided to use one last attempt. A forbidden magic that was said to be impossible to fully control without losing your soul.
Demon Summoning.
Never the less, they did. And soon it was decided that the demons would be the power to use in the war.
However, due to miscalculations, instead of controlling the demons they unleashed them from the hells they were confined in. The demons thanked there saviors by devouring there bodies and souls one by one.
The Overlanders were almost dead, only two were left.
Now that the overlander threat was gone for good, everyone else had another thing to worry about.
Demons attacked everywhere. From the Human land to the Mobian lands, demon attacks were everywhere and while advance technology was helping it was really the powers of magic and arcane that helped defeat them.
Demon hunters were suddenly found and soon the magic of the old was born again in the modern world. While humans combined magic and technology with demon hunting, mobians used the powers of nature and magic. The Echidna's, were the most powerful during these days with the powers of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emeralds.
Finally, 12 Mage Mobians sealed up the demons and left the world at peace once again.
However, many Mobians and Humans formed cults dedicated to worshiping or summoning demons to retrieve there power.
Although they only appear a few times and very rarely cause trouble, in most cases people, especially Mobians, have found an intense dislike to anyone or anything associated with demons.
It was 15 years later that Mobius had new problems. Dr. Julian of the House of Ivo betrayed Maximillian and started a robot attack on Mobotropolis, the Nation's capital. He killed many Mobians as well as turning them into robots with the help of his invention the Roboticizer, he overthrew the government, killed the king and queen as well as the heir to the throne, Prince Elias. The only member of the royal family that escaped was the 5 year old Princess Sally Acorn.
Although many escaped it was not long before the Overlander began to take over lands one by one. Naming himself Robotnick, he had planned to rule all of Earth in his might.
However, one thing stood in his way.
Five years later an organization called the Freedom Fighters was formed and dedicated its purpose to defeat Robotnick and restore order in Mobius.
Although they had many factions around Mobius, the head of it all was led by Princess Sally Acorn and her friends including the famous Sonic the Hedgehog, a hedgehog born with the unnatural ability to go faster the then speed of sound.
Even the Echidna's helped, but only from a distance as they liked there solitude more.
10 years have passed since the war against Robotnick started.
Now we come to the present time in Knothole were a young 13 year old fox was wondering around the village waiting for his aunt and best friend to return.
His name was Miles Prowler; although he is know as Tails to his friends. Why? For some strange reason he was born with two tails instead of one.
Tails was found by Princess Sally Acorn and her friend Sonic the Hedgehog when he was only a month old. Although he was raised in the nursery, Sonic and Sally were always there helping him ever since.
He loved both of them. He saw Sally as his aunt and Sonic as not only his best friend, but his brother as well.
And although he may never know who his real parents were, he saw Sonic and Sally as those replacements.
The reason he was wondering today was because Sonic and the rest of the high member Freedom Fighters went on a mission into Robotropolis again. Tails wished he was with them, and although he entered the Junior Freedom Fighter membership just a year ago, he was only allowed to work on small missions that were not to dangerous.
Tails knew he had to follow the rules, but it still didn't keep him from wishing he was right there, side by side with his friends, Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, and Antonie kicking Robotnick's butt everyday.
Sonic kept telling him he would join someday and promised they would go on missions together.
That's why Tails trained. He found out at a young age that his two tails could be used as a helicopter and fly around, not to mention he could twist them and use the speed the released to run really fast, not as fast as Sonic, but still very fast. It was also very fun.
He was incredible smart to, he helped Rotor, the man in charge of all the gadgets and weapons the F.F had, invent many useful items and weapons to help take down Robotnick.
Still, even though Sonic had no problems with him being a Freedom Fighter and working in tougher missions, Sally and the others kept saying he was too young and such. Sally had always been worried about him since she saw him as her son in a way.
So that's why he was walking around, saying hi to some people he knew and such, waiting for his best friend to come home so they could do something together.
"HEY TAILS!"
Tails looked behind him to see a pink female hedgehog, with a red dress, coming towards him.
"Hey Amy, what's up?" asked Tails.
"Nothing, just wanted to see what you were doing." Said Amy who started to walk with him.
"Just thinking." Said Tails.
There was a brief silence till Amy said, "So anyway, I need you to help me with something."
"What is it?" Asked Tails.
"Well I don't know what to get for Sonic and Sally's wedding as a present! I've been looking at stores all week and I can't find the perfect gift!" Said Amy looking worried.
"So does this mean you're finally accepting it?" Asked Tails joking.
"Yeah, yeah. You never know! He may still come and say his feelings for me!" Said Amy glaring at the fox.
Tails laughed, it was no surprise to anyone that Amy still had her little crush on Sonic…..okay strike that, MAJOR crush on Sonic.
She wasn't obsessed, but she still kept asking Sonic for dates or marriage only to have Sonic run away and for Amy to chase him. Then again that is obsessment…
But she, like everyone else, knew that Sonic's only love was Princess Sally. After all, the two knew each other since Pre-school before Robotnick took over and have always been at each others side. Eventually there friendship turned to love and three years ago Sonic confessed to Sally who admitted her feelings too.
A few months ago the couple announced they were getting married and everyone in Knothole celebrated. There greatest hero was marring there leader and princess. Sonic already asked Tails to be his best man which he happily accepted.
Amy was depressed for awhile, but now things were looking up for the young rose which Tails was glad for. Amy was the only friend around his age that he had.
When he was young, all the other kids made fun of him for his two tails or they were jealous of his friendship with Sonic. One day when tails was 8, a couple of older kids were bullying him till Amy came and told them to leave him alone. One of the boys said something very offensive to her and the next thing he knew, Amy's foot was up his crotch.
That day Tails learned of Amy's anger problems.
After that they became fast friends. When he introduced her to Sonic she turned into a total fan girl and started to proclaim her love to him while Sonic tried to avoid her at almost every possible second.
When she decided to join the Freedom Fighters she originally did it to get Sonic interested in her, but as she focused on her training she devolved a need to help people.
"So where did Sonic and the others go this time?" Asked Amy.
"Somewhere in section 23, Robotnick was developing a new type of battle armor for his SWAT bots." Said Tails stopping at a bench and taking a seat.
As she took a seat next to him Amy asked, "Do you think this war will ever be over?"
"Don't know, I've only known about it all my life. I've never even knew what peace was." Said Tails.
"Me too." Said Amy.
A bell sound was heard and both of them got to there feet.
"Sonic and the others are back!" Said Amy.
Tails quickly grabbed Amy and held her as he flew into the air thanks to his tails. With in a minute, they arrived at the entrance into Knothole where those in the raid came home with welcome arms from friends, family, loved ones, or people who wanted to congratulate them.
Tails and Amy saw Sonic with the other high members of the Freedom Fighters and landed near them.
"Hey little bro. Nice of you to fly in." Said Sonic high fiving his best pal.
"Hey Sonic! How was the mission?!" Asked Tails wanting to know all the details.
"Well, old Sonic here really screwed around with Robuttnick this time." Said Sonic grinning.
"Don't sell yourself short; you were only the distraction this time." Said Sally smiling at Sonic.
"Ouch Sal, way to wound a guy." Said Sonic who smiled at her as she lightly kissed him on the check.
"Not just any guy, my guy." Said Sally smiling.
Tails rolled his eyes and Amy looked away pretending she didn't see.
"Get a room." Said Tails.
"Hey, sugarhog, you make sure you and Sally-girl don't DO anything too serious before your wedding, you here." Said Bunnie with a warning.
"Chill Bunnie, as long as you and Antonie keep it cool." Said Sonic grinning.
Both of them blushed and looked at Rotor with glares.
Rotor, sweating, said, "I couldn't help it?! I had to tell someone!"
Everyone, but the ones embarrassed, laughed.
Rotor blabbed to everyone that he saw her and Antonie kissing in the forests a few nights ago. When they spotted him they made him swear not to tell anyone, but Rotor wasn't that good at keeping secrets.
"And af'ter we made you promize not to tezz anyone." Said Antonie who was all red.
"Come on, you two make a great couple." Said Sonic, "Besides she might give you some courage there Ant."
Antonie glared, but sighed, it was no secret he wasn't the bravest of them all. After all in most of the missions he carried the equipment, which was a major blow to his pride since he was suppose to guard the princess with his life, not carry stuff.
"Anyway, so can me Sonic go do stuff now Aunt Sally, please?" Asked Tails doing the puppy eye look
"Yeah Sal, please?" Said Sonic who did a puppy eye look.
Sally sighed, "Sometime you guys are so childish… fine…."
In a flash, Tails and Sonic zipped out of Knothole's entrance, faster then most could see.
"Still wish he'd slow down a bit." Said Sally sighing.
"He slowed down for you right?" Asked Rotor.
Sally looked at her wedding ring and smiled, "Yeah I guess so."
Bunnie smiled and said, "Awww, look at ya Sally-girl…..getting married and going have some little Sonic's running around."
Sally blushed at the idea of children.
"Don't you think it's a little early to think that?" Asked Sally.
"Yeah, I don't think Mobius can handle another mini Sonic." Said Rotor making them all laugh.
"I see your in good humor princess." Said a new voice.
Everyone turned around to see 5 Mobians, each wearing white clothing, consisting of white pants, white cloaks that covered there bodies and on the front was the Royal Crest of Acorn: In the middle was Zebra-tailed lizard, around early 30's about middle sized for a Mobian (Since most Mobian's were smaller then humans) with a pair of glasses on his face which was one that held power. The one on the left was a large Mobian male Elephant in around his late 40's with a serious face. The one on the far left was a female white furred rabbit around the age of 30 or so and had a calm face. The one to the lizard's right was a female tree lemur around 40 years of age who also had a serious look on her face. Finally, the one on the far right was a male bloodhound dog who was only the age of late 20's with a natural smile on his face.
Antonie and Sally bowed to them; Bunnie and Rotor didn't, but frowned and nodded.
These were the Mobian Council.
While the House of Acorn was a head rule, the true power of government changed over the course of time during the war against Robotnick. The Mobian Council was once a council that helped and guided the King or Queen of that rule what they believed should be the idea rule, though the King or Queen had the final say. However, with Sally the only blood member left, the Council, who escaped, felt it was time for them to lead until Sally gained the thrown back. Sally wasn't officially recognized as the Queen for she didn't go through the ritual of passage that was to be held in the throne room for every new ruler of Mobius. She still had the title of Princess and that gave her some power, but the Council at this point had more.
In truth few really ever liked the Council's new power. Many didn't trust them. However, they still had to obey since there Princess gave them power to do so. They even had there own "Private" Freedom Fighters group called the "Secret Service." It was led by Geoffrey St. John, a skunk who nobody liked because he was bossy and rude to others except those higher then him. Sonic called him skunk that smelled so bad he could make other skunks faint.
The Secret Service and the Freedom Fighters had often rivalries with each other as the Freedom Fighters didn't trust them and the Secret Service thought low of them. They never worked together as the Secret Service did there missions in the dark so nobody knew what they were doing and they only answered to the Council.
All in all it smelled really bad.
"Council, I didn't expect to see you so soon." Said Sally with a neutral voice.
"We wanted to know the success of your mission." Said the lizard.
"Yes, Councilman Dewback." Said Sally, "We proceeded as we originally planned, with Sonic distracting the guards and we proceeding into section 23, there we planned the bombs but managed to find something else along the way."
"What was it?" Asked Councilman Dewback.
"It was an ambushed patrol of SWAT guards. While we held them off we tried to find an alternate escape route. We found a building we never saw before in the sector and headed in. What we found was amazing." Said Sally.
"A building that looked like a building from the inside put in reality it was a construct computer building. Looked new too." Said Rotor who was the first to recognize it.
"Right, after that, I sent Nicole into the data frame to see what she could find in the computer building. Nicole said she found many new things such as list of patrols, weapons that Robotnick was planning to build, and many more. However, we had to leave since the bombs were due to explode and we didn't want Robotnick to know that we had discovered it. So we regrouped with Sonic and ran out." Said Sally.
"Any casualties?" Asked the councilman on the far right, the bloodhound.
"No." Said Sally.
"That's good princess, we will sent our Secret Service to get the information needed from the computer building. Your Freedom Fighters don't have to worry about a thing." Said Councilman Dewback.
Sally and the others didn't want the Council to do anything with that computer building, but they would worry about that later.
For now they wanted to get back to there homes and rest.
(Later, with Sonic and Tails)
Both friends were speeding through the forest at the brink of speed that few could match. Sonic was way ahead of Tails, but Tails knew he wasn't trying. Tails had always dreamed of being faster then Sonic, but he never came close ever. Sure there was some jealousy, but he still considered Sonic his best friend.
They kept running past the trees, jumping over logs and large rocks. Sonic even did a few flips to show off.
Finally, they stopped at a small clearing and decided to rest.
"So Sonic, think next time I can join you guys?" Asked Tails.
Sonic smiled and said, "Sorry, little bro, Sal says no. But cheer up, I hear you and your team is going to take a little trip to section 11 for a scouting mission."
Tails nodded.
"Anyway, I think we should get back, Sally wanted me to help her plan with the wedding plans." Said Sonic in a voice that said he wasn't looking forward to it.
"You could all ways skip it." Said Tails wanting to hang out more.
"No thanks. When Sal get's angry it's worse then facing Knuckles' wraith." Said Sonic joking, "You coming?"
Tails wanted to stay out for a bit longer so he said he would catch up soon.
"Alright, see ya." Said Sonic zipping out of there.
Tails waved and sighed. He sat down and looked around the forest wishing he could have time to explore more of the Great Forest, but Aunt Sally would get worried about him so he would have to be back soon.
Tails was about to leave when he heard someone shout, "Help!… Somebody Help!"
Tails looked around, trying to hear where the voice was coming from. It sounded like a female, she was scared too.
"Help me! Help me!" The voice shouted again.
"Hang on! I'm coming!" Shouted Tails hearing the voice to his left as he ran as fast as he could.
He dodged a few trees and kept looking in all directions; finally he saw a white dressed red female fox with blood coming out of her knee. She had to have been 6 or 7 years old.
Tails went over to her and asked if she was okay.
She looked at Tails with scared eyes and said, "No… I'm hurt….I got lost from my mama and papa when some bandits came over and attacked us. I got away, but…..mama and papa…"
She then started to cry.
Tails felt sorry for her. And then went to touch her for comfort when suddenly….his hand went through her….
"Wha-"
Tails felt somebody grab him from behind, somebody much taller and stronger. Tails tried to escape or yell, but a hand went over his mouth as well as a cloth. Tails suddenly felt sleepy and soon was knocked out cold.
The black cloaked figure held the unconscious Tails in his hands as the girl vanished into thin air. Three other cloaked figures of different sizes came out.
"Nice illusion." Said one of them.
"Thanks."
The black cloaked figure holding Tails let go of the cloth and said, "Now that we have the son of the maiden let us return to the shrine."
"Yes, soon we will bring Sparta back into the realm of mortals."
(Unknown)
Tails felt a headache coming. He woke up only to see nothing, but darkness.
He was blindfolded.
He tried to move, but his legs, arms, even tails were held down by chains. He tried to speak, but he was gagged with cloths in his mouth.
Fear started to develop into his mind. He didn't know where he was, who kidnapped him, or what they were going to do.
His breathing started to increase as he felt his tails straighten up in fear. He tried to listen to what was going on, but his own heart beat was the loudest. He used his nose, it smelled wherever he was. Like wet old socks that were washed in a bog.
He heard somebody say something and then the sound of feet were heard all around him.
He felt someone's feat touch him and kick him hard. Tails tried to yelp in pain, but the cloths in his mouth prevented that.
He suddenly smelled someone, like old eggs, come near his face and take the blind fold off. The first thing he saw was a cloaked faced staring at him; he could feel the eyes glaring directly into his.
Tails looked around and saw there were more of these cloaked figures, all different shapes and sizes. He looked around the room. It was small and many strange runes were on the walls. Looking at his body he could see his body stretched out with his hands, feet and tails stretched out with chains holding them.
"Yorn del lil renor Anulo… Yorn del streea… nym'uer udossta ortelassa… Yorn del lil renor Anulo… Yorn del streea… nym'uer udossta ortelassa… Yorn del lil renor Anulo… Yorn del streea… nym'uer udossta ortelassa… Yorn del lil renor Anulo… Yorn del streea… nym'uer udossta ortelassa…" The cloaked figures said in a strange language that was alien to Tails. Surrounded him in an outside circle, repeating the same words over and over.
Tails knew these people weren't good, but that was already obvious.
Tails wondered what they were saying, It sounded like prayer…..but the language had a sense of dread and…..evil….if that was the right word to use…..
Tails wondered what they were praying too until he noticed something on the floor he was laying on.
It was another black upside down pentagram, five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes, but in a reverse order. While the pentagram has many meaning in different cultures and religions, when it's upside down it has to do with mostly Satanism. Satanists use a pentagram with two points up, often inscribed in a double circle, with the head of a goat inside the pentagram which is the same case with this one as a design of a goat head could be seen in red. Outside there were letters written in the old language of Pythagorean, each letter had a different meaning. The first two, which depicted the horns of the goat, were labeling Sin and Death while the three on the bottom were in rejection to the Holy Trinity of Christ.
Tails knew enough about cults to know he was the victim of one and a dreaded fear sprung from his heart.
Who were they? What did they want? Were they going to kill him? Rape him? Sacrifice him?
Tails struggled with fear and desperation to yang free from his chains, but it was no use.
The cults then lit a candle, black colored, and started to sing there sinful prayers.
"Ghil udossa yorn del ssinssrin lueth jiv'undus, zirn udossta shlu'ta xuil elakar sham'aroth chath, doer nota'man del lil isto, ul'nusst wun lil olath, treemma naut whol lil ssussun a nindol isto zhah elghinyrr."
Tails watched in amazement and horror as the candles somehow lit up a dark red flame.
Tails tried desperately to move. He prayed he could escape. Where was Sonic or the others? Where were the Ancient Walkers, where were the gods?!
"Athiyk del lil errdegahr verve elghinyrr, duul'sso dosstan dal dosst sluda dal uoi'nota lueth lilbh'iahin wun ib'ahalii h'uena mzild."
Tails then felt something strange, a cold dark wind blowing from nowhere, he then saw each candle's flame turn blue and float from there wicks. Tails had always wanted to see magic, but black magic was something he didn't want to see much less be the victim of it.
Tails saw the flames all form up above him on the ceiling and started to come together. Suddenly, a small explosion appeared above and a great powerful orb of blue and red energy was seen when the light was cleared.
Tails couldn't help but stare at it. It was wrong to see, but he couldn't help it.
Tails then heard one of the cultists come forward over him. At once Tails' eye grew big and his body struggled like he was possessed, desperate to get away.
The cults held a huge sword, one that which he knew was almost bigger then him. A huge red skull with horns was on the guard of the sword which then had a rib cage over it which followed the blade to the edge which had a small spade like form as a point. (The Rebellion Sword from Devil May Cry)
"Xuil nindol dro Lord Sparta, lil dron del szithla wenress zhah a vaen xun. Ku'lam lueth sila udossa ib'ahalii!" Shouted the cultist who raised the sword, with the blade pointing to Tail's body.
At that point Tails wet himself. He stopped moving and breathing, time slowed down. All on his eyes and mind was that sword about to stab him. Would it kill him? Would it all end? Was this a dream?
No.
SLUNK!
Had Tails been able to scream he would have screamed louder then any time before this.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He thought in his mind as the pain was too much to take. He wanted to die! HE WANTED THIS TO END!!
Blood sprang out like a hose from the wound the sword inserted. The sword kept staying there as blood spilled from Tails body to his fur and down to the floor. At that moment, the pentagram design started to glow dark black as the blood mixed with the writing causing the cursed evil magic to work.
The blue and red orb began to glow faster and faster. Its power could be felt from the room, emanating its cursed dark powers.
Tails closed his eyes just in time as the orb fell down at a neck breaking speed, slamming into the sword which drove the orb's power into Tails like a lighting rod to electricity.
Tails world went red as he felt something, literally someone, feel like they were crawling into his body and ripping it apart. He felt pain everywhere, like hell he was in hell itself.
"It's working! We've done it!" Cried one of the cults that Tails could hear.
"No! WAIT! LOOK!!!" Said another one, but this time in fear.
Tails then felt something unleash inside him.
"WHAT'S GOING ON!!!? WHAT WENT WRONG?!!!"
"YOU IDIOTIC sh*t HEAD!! YOU USED THE WRONG WRIGHTING!!
"LOOK OUT!!!"
"AAAAUUUGGHHH!!!!!!"
Darkness.
(Later)
Tails felt sore…..no wait… correction….he felt so f*cking sore he would be feeling it for years.
Tails slowly, moved. He wasn't dead, because the dead don't feel pain like this. He was about to open his eyes, when he smelled it.
He froze, he had only smelled that smell only a few times, but it was a smell he would never forget.
The smell of blood.
He opened his eyes and just like that wished they were closed again.
What stood before his eyes could only be described in one word…..massacre….
The cultists were all dead, no they were all overkill.
Blood was everywhere, like a small red lake just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Bodies lied everywhere, but in pieces. Heads were separated from there necks. Bodies were split in two from horizontal and diagonal. Faces were ripped apart showing eye sockets and skulls.
Those that had there faces on had looks of absolute terror, like they had seen the devil himself walk the earth.
Tails also saw slash marks everywhere on the bodies and all over the wall and runes. He looked at his wound only to find it gone like it wasn't there. He felt weak, but he wanted to go out and find help as soon as possible. He looked for a way out and noticed a small wooden door.
He quickly opened the door only to scream in pain.
His stomach… something was wrong.
He got on his knees holding his stomach, he felt like he was going to puke.
He gritted his teeth, the pain….it hurt…
Then it was gone.
Tails opened his eyes and found relief. It was gone.
But for how long?
I have to find help….fast! he thought as he made his way up the stairwell that was in front of him.
(Outside)
It was raining.
Tails thought that as he exited a small cave the stairway had led to.
Tails wanted to find help and fast, but where was he?
He looked around, tall trees. He was definitely in the Great Forest.
How deep or far was he from Knothole? Was Sonic looking for him? Were the Freedom Fighters? How long was he gone? Were there still other cultists?
Tired, weak, and hungry, Tails continued onward through the forest.
(Hours later)
Tails was about to collapse. He never felt so tired in all his life. To make matters worse that bad feeling in his stomach was coming back again.
Tails was about to collapse when he heard noises coming from ahead of him.
(Up ahead)
A squad of Freedom Fighters was not to far from Tails, currently looking for him.
When Tails had not returned from the Great Forest, Sonic went looking for him, but couldn't find him. As it got later in the day Sally got worried and sent search teams looking for him. It had been 2 hours and no luck so far.
"Tails! Tails!!!" Cried A male raccoon Freedom Fighter. The Freedom Fighter uniform consisted of a red long sleeve battle jacket with the Crest of Acorns on the back and on the front left side was a patch that had two red F's together. They also had dark blue jeans on, although some mobians don't wear clothes since they could hide their "special" features in their fur, some do it anyway.
"This is hopeless; I can't find any trace of the kid." Said a male skunk.
"Maybe he's not here? Think Robotnick got him?" Asked the raccoon.
"If he is then he's dead by now." Said a female brown hedgehog.
"Look, alive or dead, we have to find him. Orders are orders." Said the team captain, a black male mink.
"Yes sir." Said the team as the continued to search. The raccoon then heard something and drew out his blaster pistol.
"What was that?" He asked.
"Quit being paranoid. It's probably nothing." Said the hedgehog.
Rustle
"There it is again."
"I heard that."
Everyone took out there laser pistols in case it was a wild animal.
They saw some bushes rustling and they all got nervous.
"Wait….help please!" Said a voice which was later proven to be Tails as he came out of the bushes.
"Tails!" Said A few people as some Freedom Fighters went over and helped him sit down.
The captain pulled out a communicator and said, "This is Patrol 34, all patrols and home base listen up. Tails is alive and found in section 1223B 422E."
"Affirmative Patrol 34, this Patrol 32, were right next to you and are coming up to your position in a few moments. Stand By."
"Roger." Said the mink shutting it off.
"You okay? What the hell happened to you?" asked the raccoon.
Tails was about to respond when he suddenly felt his stomach burning up again. He clutched it with his hands so tight he could have ripped the fur off of it.
The Freedom Fighters asked if he was okay or if everything was alright, but Tails couldn't hear them.
Suddenly, the same feeling of something trying to reach out of him erupted again.
He screamed.
All turned red.
"AAAAUUUGGHH!!"
"WH-WHAT THE f*ck!!?"
"AAUGH!!"
"GAUH!!"
"RUN!!! IT'S COMING THIS WAY!!"
"AAAAAAA!!!"
"HOLY sh*t!!!"
"OH GODS!!!"
"RUN!!"
"NO! NO!! NOOO!!AAAGH!!!"
Darkness.
(Later)
Tails felt like sh*t again.
No, he felt worse. He was afraid to open his eyes this time.
His body felt so sore. He hurt like hell.
He tried to remember what happened, but all he could remember was being found by Freedom Fighters.
He finally opened his eyes only to see white ceiling title.
He was in a room.
He slowly got up and looked around; this was an emergency room in the hospital.
He was back in Knothole.
Tails sighed in relief and then noticed a lone guard, one of the Freedom Fighters was in the room also. He was a young male white cat who looked like he saw a ghost or something. He was mumbling to himself in a nervous tone with his eyes staring at the floor. His body was shaking badly and he kept fingering his pistol every five seconds.
"Ummmm… excuse me."
At once the guard looked at him and screamed. Tails was shocked, but even more shocked when he raised his blaster at Tails.
"D-d-dd-don't move! Don-t-tt f*ckEN MOVE!!!" HE screamed in fear as he pointed the gun at Tails, but could barley hold on to it.
Tails was shocked and scared.
"Are you alri-"
"SHUT UP!!! J-J-JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!" He cried again moving back slowly.
Tails could see the fear in his eyes, the fear was at him.
Wh… what did I do?
"Listen… I jus-"
"SHUT UP YOU….YOU… MONSTER!!!" He cried. Tails noticed he had pissed in his pants.
Tails then herd a door open and to his surprise it was a mid aged male chipmunk Freedom Fighter. He had three stars under the FF symbol on his jacket which showed he was of high rank.
"Major…" Said the guard looking at him.
"It's alright soldier." Said the chipmunk who walked over to Tails with only one thing in his eyes, hatred.
Tails was getting scared, why was he getting all this? What happened?
"Sir….ummmm….I was…" Said Tails trying to say something, but a look on the major's face silenced him.
"Miles Prowler….I'm glad you woke up….I guess I should be the one to enforce your arrest since I am here after all." Said the Major.
Tails froze, "A-a-arrest?"
"Yes, your under arrest for murder, treason, conspiring with demons, use of demon magic, and being a demon yourself…..demon." Said the Major.
Tails was shocked, no beyond shocked, he was stupefied beyond belief.
Murder? Treason? Demon?
"What are you talking about!? I haven't done those things! Is… is this a joke?!" Said Tails yelling out.
SMACK!
Tails suddenly felt a harsh blow on his cheek and his felt his body slam onto the floor head first.
Tails felt the harsh sting and looked up to see the major giving a face that could kill.
"How dare you….act innocent….you son of a bitch….you ARE a demon….we all saw it… you bitch… you bitch…." Said the Major who threw down a few things.
Tails looked at them in horror.
They were pictures, pictures of the same people who found him getting ripped to pieces… by him….actually….more like a wild ferial version of him with red eyes.
He stared at the pictures… with fear and confusion…
"No… this can't be….this can't be….I'm not a demon… I'm not a demon…" Said Tails feeling the air from his lungs escape him.
"Believe it demon….NICOLE checked you out… you have demon energy illuminating from your soul…." Said the Major.
Tails couldn't believe it… this wasn't possible.
"No… I'm not a demon… I swear to the gods and the Ancient Walkers… I'm not a demon!" Cried Tails only to receive a boot to the head.
"Enough, the council and the princess will be judging you tomorrow on your crimes. I hope they find you guilty and send you back to hell, demon." Said the Major as a large squad of Freedom Fighters in black battle armor came in holding blaster rifles. Each one was aimed at the two tailed kitsune's head.
Tails couldn't believe this.
"Where is Aunt Sally, where is Sonic?" Asked Tails hoping for them to help understand that this was a misunderstanding.
"The Princess and Sonic will not be seeing the likes of you, demon. You will be taken away to your cell in the prison for tomorrow's sentencing.
Tails never made a struggle as two Freedom Fighters picked him up and held on to him as he was forced to move.
This can't be happening.
(Outside)
It was the morning, Tails could see that when he came out of the hospital. Dark clouds were still in the sky meaning more rain eventually.
Tails was glad to get out of the hospital. As he went through the halls, doctors, nurses, and patients all stared at him with fear and hate. Those that feared him stepped away or didn't even look at him. Some even ran away and hid.
Those that showed hate cursed at him, calling him names such as "Demon child" "The devil's child" and others. Some mumbled prayers for warding off demons.
Tails couldn't belive this. Did they really all think he was a demon? Was he?
No! I'm not! Maybe the cultists did something!? I have to tell everyone about them!?
But with what proof? He didn't remember the location where they all were. Everyone would not believe him.
He had to find his friends. Sonic and Sally had to believe him.
As he went through the roads of Knothole with the guards surrounding him from everywhere, he saw all the people on the streets stare in fear. Mothers hid there children. Some people even closed there doors and windows. He could also hear curses wishing he was dead and such.
It hurt.
It all hurt.
Then he saw something that made him have hope.
Rotor.
"ROTOR!!" Cried Tails trying to gain his attention.
Rotor was crossing by when he saw Tails. A sad look went into his eyes and he shook his head. Rotor then walked away.
"WAIT! ROTOR!! WAIT!!" Cried Tails trying to get his attention, but Rotor walked away farther and farther.
Tails couldn't believe it; he just looked at him and left.
…Rotor….
Tails then noticed another person coming up as they walked.
"SONIC!!" Cried Tails with even more voice this time. He stopped walking, but was being pushed by the others to move up.
"SONIC!! YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM!!! I'M NOT A DEMON!! SONIC!!!" Cried Tails with desperation.
But Sonic didn't even look at him. His face was numb, there was no emotion of concur. Sonic didn't stop them or even look at them. He just stared into open space like he was zoning out.
"SONIC PLEASE!! SONIC!!!" Cried Tails as they got past him and walked further and further away. Tails kept crying his name out, this time with tears, but Sonic didn't stop them.
He never moved an inch.
(Prison)
Tails couldn't believe this.
One moment he was happy and safe in Knothole. Then cultists came and did some bizarre ritual on him. Then when he comes back he finds out he's been accused of being a demon.
The photos of him killing those Freedom Fighters were still in his mind. Maybe he was possessed? Would that help him?
Tails was alone in his small cell which was blocked by a blue shield door stopping anyone from coming in or out. Tails had been inside this place for 3 hours now and he received no word on what was going to happen.
Well, he knew he was going to be going to trial, but his Aunt Sally wouldn't let them hurt him or anything….would she?
Tails suddenly was crying as he wrapped his tails around him.
He heard the sounds of footsteps coming closer.
"You have a visitor… demon…" Said the voice of his guard which Tails didn't bother to look up to see.
"Tails?" said a familer voice.
"Amy?" Asked Tails looking up to see Amy, tears in her eyes, just outside his shield door.
Tails rushed to the door and pressed against it, wishing he could just hug her.
"Oh Amy, I'm so glad… I'm not a demon! Amy you have to believe me!" Cried out Tails.
"I do! I do! But, everyone else is thinking the opposite thing! I know you! I've known you for a long time and I know you're not a demon." Said Amy with a small smile.
Tails started crying, "Why….why do you… how do you really know….I killed those people Amy….I don't know how or why, but I killed them!? HOW DO I KNOW I AM NOT A DEMON!!??"
Amy gave a sad smile and said, "True demons don't cry."
Tails heart melted at that sentence. It's true. A real demon doesn't cry.
Tails looked at her with warm eyes and said, "Thank you….."
Amy then said, "I've tried to convince others that you're not a demon, but Tails there so dead sent on condemning you. I've asked Sally and everyone to help but…." Amy stopped there. She didn't want to finish what she was going to say.
"What… what is it?" Asked Tails knowing it wasn't good news, but he wanted to know. He had to know.
"No… I can't….it….it…" Said Amy with tears again falling.
"Please….Amy…." Said Tails asking her like it was the only thing he wanted.
Amy took a deep breath, wiped away the tears and said, "Bunnie was crying, but said there was nothing we could do. Antoine called me a fool and said you deserved to be punished. Bunnie then punched him and left. Rotor didn't say anything, but to leave him alone. Sally…" Amy paused for a long while and said, "Sally….said she was going to punish you with death should you be found guilty."
Tails heart broke.
No, it died.
Died in full painful agony, like a thousand dying breaths that would not end.
"And Sonic…" said Tails with barley any voice left.
"Sonic….said…..he didn't care…..and told me to shut up…." Said Amy with guilt entering her heart.
Tails fell to his knees. He was crying, but he didn't feel the tears. His best friend. His brother. His mentor. Even he….even he believed he was a demon….
Tails felt like everything had just come to an end. This was worse then death.
This was betrayal.
From nearly everyone he ever loved and cared about.
He was betrayed by his own friends, the women who loved him ever since he was a baby, and to his best friend who he loved more then life itself.
All of them…..
Amy then said, "I… I don't understand why….Tails… what happened."
Tails didn't respond. He couldn't even hear her. He just wanted to wake up. To see this was all a nightmare and not real. But it was. This was reality.
A real living nightmare.
Amy continued to speak, begging him to listen to her, but Tails couldn't he was still and near broken.
Amy knew she did this and ran out. Crying as she felt this was her fault.
Tails was still in that same position as the thought continued to swarm in his mind like the sound of angry insects.
Betrayal
Betrayal
Betrayal
Tails closed his eyes, grabbed his head and finally yelled,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(Next morning)
Tails woke up to a humming sound.
When he was fully awake he saw a lot of Freedom Fighters, in heavy battle armor and weapons, waiting for him.
One of them told him to follow them. Tails got up and was soon chained from his arms to his legs to even his tails. They didn't take any chances with him.
"Try anything and your dead, demon." Said one of them pointing his blaster rifle at him.
Tails nodded and nervously walked out of the prison. When they got outside he saw all the roads empty. Either everyone was waiting in the court room or they were all hiding from him.
Tails felt more nervous with each step to the court room. Would his Aunt Sally, who loved him like her own son, really do this? Would she convict him and sentence him to death?
What about Sonic? Was he really going to stand there and do nothing? Were all his other friends going to do nothing? Tails was hoping they would do something, but it seemed that hope was dying with every second.
Finally they had arrived at huge building, one of the largest in Knothole.
It had many names, but they all called it the Judgment Building for obvious reasons.
Tails was now about to face his judgment.
(Inside)
Tails walked through the white halls of the building. Nobody was around and no sound could be heard.
Tails didn't say anything, but he was wondering what might happen. He never been to the Judgment Building and he hoped it was not the last.
Finally, they stopped at a big double entrance door. Two Freedom Fighters opened it and sent him in with themselves behind.
Tails entered and saw where his trial was to commence. He saw himself in the middle of a large court area that was a lot like that of a Parliament with the hemicycle as tall as 30 feet and as big as the large court room, enough to support 500 people. The council was filled with regular people, Freedom Fighters of different ranks, people from the Secret Service, and in the middle sat the highest of them.
The Council had five large chairs in the middle. Each of them were looking at Tails with hatred and complete control. It was enough to make Tails shiver with fear. The glares were also coming from others from the hemicycle as well as whispering.
Tails looked around to see if anyone familiar was there. He finally noticed Sonic, Bunnie, Rotor, Amy, and Antoine (In that order) not to far from the Council's left side where many Freedom Fighters were sitting. Bunnie and Amy were crying silently, Rotor had a face of gloom. Antoine stared at him like he was a criminal or something; Tails also noticed a black ring around his right eye.
As for Sonic, Sonic was glaring at him. Tails gave a silent gasp as they stared into each other. There was no warmth, no sadness, nothing. Tails felt the need to cry then and there, but he was interrupted by someone speaking getting his attention.
"State your name."
Tails looked up to see his Aunt Sally on a seat that was higher then the councils.
"Aunt Sally….you know it's me." Said Tails who tried to get her to warm up to him.
She simple stared and said in a state of authority, "That's Princes Sally. Now state your name for the record Miles Prowler."
Tails was shocked, Sally never called him Miles, not even if he did something wrong.
"M-Miles Prowl-ler." Said Tails nervously.
Sally took out some documents and said, "The case of Miles Prowler vs the Kingdom of Acorn will now commence. Would the defendant please say his plea?"
Tails nodded and said, "Not guilty…."
There were some sarcastic remarks from some people.
"Silence please….Miles do you know of the charges brought against you?" Asked Sally.
Tails shook his head.
"Murder, treason, conspiring with demons, using demonic arts, and being a demon yourself." Said Sally who then said, "May the council please say there part."
Councilman Dewback stood up and said, "We would like everyone to note, that not only are there witnesses to the incidents that Miles Prowler has done, there is also photographic evidence."
"I didn't mean to do it!" Cried Tails, but Sally silenced him.
The male elephant councilmember stood up and said, "According to the results we have from NICOLE we were able to detect demonic energy from the soul of Miles Prowler."
Tails didn't say anything.
He continued, "We would also like to note that Miles Prowler has no birth record and no parents. While he may be an orphan there is also a chance he is really a demon child disguised as a mobian. As such two tails is highly unnatural." He then sat down.
Tails looked on the floor; he knew they would do something about his tails.
"Anything else?" Asked Sally.
Nobody said anything.
Finally, Tails shouted, "Please! Listen to me! It wasn't me it was the cultists!"
Whispering was heard through out the room.
Councilman Dewback, "The demon is obvious lying and if not then this means he might be in league with a cult."
"No! They kidnapped me!" Shouted Tails.
"ORDER! ORDER!!" Shouted Sally causing the room to go silence.
"Will the defendant please speak his story." Said Sally staring at Tails.
Tails quickly told everything. The girl, getting knocked out, the shrine, the sword, the ritual, the demon power, the orb, the massacre, everything."
When he was done the room was silent.
Councilman Dewback stood up and said, "There are a few possible outcomes from this…"
Everyone looked at him.
"If he is telling the truth….this can only mean the cultists have sealed a demon in him and it is out of control. WE MUST KILL HIM TO SAVE US ALL!!" He shouted and soon cries were being heard through out.
"YEAH!! KILL HIM!!"
"KILL HIM WHILE HE IS WEAK!!"
"DEATH TO THE DEMON!!"
"PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!!"
"KILL HIM!! KILL HIM!!"
Tails couldn't believe it; his own home wanted him dead.
"ORDER!! ORDER!!!" Cried Sally.
After a few moments it was quiet.
Sally then said, "How does the council find the defendant?"
"Guilty."
"Guilty."
"Guilty."
"Guilty."
"Guilty."
Tails' heart fell into the dark oblivion of despair.
"Does the Princess wish to overthrow our verdict?" Asked Councilman Dewback.
"…..no….." Said Sally softly.
Tails fell on his knees, "No… NO! AUNT SALLY! YOU KNOW I'M INNOCENT!! PLEASE!!!"
"How does the council wish to punish the defendant?" Asked Sally ignoring him.
"AUNT SALLY NO!! PLEASE!!" Shouted Tails who then turned to his friends where they were and said, "YOU KNOW ME!! WERE FRIENDS!! WE KNOW I'M NOT A DEMON!!!"
"Death."
"ROTOR!!"
"Death."
"BUNNIE!!"
"Death"
"ANTOINE"
"Death."
"SONIC!!!!!!!!"
"Death."
"AUNT SALLY!!" He cried turning to her with tears falling down.
"Does the Princess with to overthrow our verdict?" Asked Councilmen Dewback.
"….no…" Said Sally who closed her eyes.
Tails hope was shattered.
Death.
Death.
Death.
Death.
Death.
That was his fate.
Death.
The crowd cheered as only Bunnie and Amy cried. Rotor looked with disbelief, Antoine clapped and Sonic was motionless.
Tails didn't want to believe it, but it was true. He was sentenced to die, from his own friends.
"Take him away." Said Sally who got off her seat.
Tails struggled as he saw Sally walk over to Sonic who hugged her.
He cried out his loudest as he was taken away, "I LOVED YOU!!! I LOVED YOU LIKE YOU WERE MY OWN FAMILY!!! I LOVED YOU!!!"
But his cry was ignored.
(Later that night)
He was going to die.
He was going to die.
He was going to f*cken die.
Tails sat in his jail, sitting down and rocking back and forth.
Waiting.
Was time mocking him? Was it only going slow to torture him? Or were all those who were sent to die feel like this?
He had no more tears to cry. He didn't stop crying when he left the room, he didn't stop crying as they dragged him through the streets, he didn't stop crying when they put him in the cell.
He could shed no more tears, but his heart was still crying.
How could they? The ones he loved most? What about his other friends? Would Knuckles agree that Sonic and Sally did the best choice? Would Julie-Su? What about the Chaotix? Would all those on Angel island see this as justice?
He hated them.
Sonic, Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, Antoine, Freedom Fighters, the council, Knothole. He hated them all.
He had a right to be angry. They were accusing him of being a demon. A DEMON!!!
Tails only ever felt betrayal once and that was with Fiona Fox who was the first person he ever fell in love with, but she was a robot sent to kill him. He killed her and left her in the ocean.
That wound never healed, but it was nothing compared to this.
He knew he was doomed. He was going to die. Would it hurt, be quick? Would he die in pain? Did he want to die?
What kind of a question was that OF COURSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE!!!
"You have another visitor."
Tails looked up to see Amy standing outside his shield door.
He got up, with a look of lost hope, and walked over.
"Amy." He said look at her with sad eyes.
She started to cry and banged the door. She wanted to be with him. To hold him and tell him everything would be alright. She wanted to free him. She wanted to save him, but he couldn't.
"Why… WHY DID THEY DO THIS!?" She cried, "YOUR NOT EVIL YOUR GOOD!! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND AND I KNOW THIS!!!"
Tails felt sorrow for seeing her cry. He wanted to stop those gentle sad tears, but he couldn't.
"Amy….." Said Tails.
"I'll NEVER FORGIVE THEM!! NEVER! SONIC OR SALLY!! I HATE THEM!!!!" She cried out loud.
If this was a normal day, Tails would have been shocked hearing the words "I HATE SONIC" coming from Amy Rose.
"Amy, please… don't cry." Said Tails.
Amy started to slowly stop, but she was still teary eyed.
"Tails, I don't want you to die…..I… I…" She said softly.
A silence was between them.
"Amy….listen to me…." Said Tails, "I want you to only do one thing…"
"Name it…." Asked Amy.
"…..keep fighting…" Said Tails.
Amy was shocked, "You… You still want me to be a Freedom Fighter?"
"Yeah, I want you to still help people. Just because I've been condemned from those who run it, doesn't mean that you should stop helping people….free us from Robotnick and protect innocents… that's all I ask." Said Tails.
Amy nodded, "I promise…"
Tails nodded and said, "It's late….you better get some sleep…"
Amy nodded then said, "… I heard your execution is at 8:00 in the morning….the Secret Service will be doing it."
Tails nodded and asked, "Will I still have a funeral?"
"I asked, yes….but….I think I'll be the only one coming…" she said.
Tails gritted his teeth; They wouldn't even come to my own funeral?
Tails sighed and said, "Amy… thanks for everything….goodbye."
Amy said, "Goodbye…..Tails…."
Tails heard her walk away.
He began to cry again.
(Morning)
They say the a morning is the time of birth and renewal.
For Miles Tails Prowler, it meant only death and end.
Tails didn't sleep that night. He didn't even say anything when the Secret Service, led by St John came in.
"Rise demon. Your day of judgment is at hand." Said ST. John ordering him up.
Tails obeyed and felt the familiar locks placed on his arms, legs and tails.
Tails was pushed out and soon he was outside.
What greeted him was an interesting sight.
Right from the entrance of the prison, all the way to the exit of Knothole, a long ling of all the citizens, men, women, children, and elders, all lined up on the sidewalks staring at him.
Tails and the Secret Service walked on the road as nobody said anything, but Tails could feel the hate, the fear, and the death wishes.
He looked around as he continued he saw familiar faces.
First was Rotor, his fellow inventor buddy. When he was young Rotor use to let him help make inventions and they made some amazing things. Now they would never do anything like that again.
Rotor had a look of regret on his face, but Tails ignored it.
Next was Bunnie, she was in hysterics. She always watched out for him like as second aunt and sometimes he called her Aunt Bunnie. She knew she didn't want him to go through this, but why hasn't she said a word? Why hasn't she fought to free him? Where was she when he needed her, now of all times?
Antoine was next, with his stoic face. Tails saw a new uniform on him, no doubt the council promoted him for his "intolerance" to Tails. He wanted to yell at Antoine to bite his ass, but he didn't and continued.
Amy.
He spotted her; she was dressed in black and had flowers, roses, in her hands. He gave a sad smile to her as she kept crying for him.
Amy… thank you…. He thought. Amy was the only person he didn't hate of all of Knothole. She believed him and she cared.
The Council was next. Tails saw them with triumphant smirks of glory. Tails wanted to wipe them off. He swore if there was reincarnation he would get revenge against them all.
Finally, there were the two people Tails wanted to see the most.
Sonic and Sally.
They didn't have any reaction to his passing at all. They held hands as he walked past them.
He hated them.
They betrayed him.
He was nothing to them anymore.
He was about to cry, but he stopped. He wouldn't show weakness in front of them.
He would never forgive them.
All of them, but Amy, would never be forgiven by him.
Never.
Finally, they made it to the exit and Tails took one last look at his home.
The home that damned him.
(Great Forest, only a mile from Knothole)
They stopped.
Tails' heart started beating. He felt nervous. This was it.
They lengthened the chains and stood far from him. St. John ordered 7 men in front of tails by 20 feet.
Tails watched them get 20 feet in front of him. They all took there blaster rifles and started to aim.
This is it… I'm going to die… Thought Tails.
…
…
…
…
No you ain't.
Tails gasped. He looked around.
What was that?
Me.
Tails gasped again. Was someone talking to him. He looked around, nobody else heard him.
The voice sounded…..strange….and powerful.
Don't worry about dying. I got it covered. Ain't going to let my carrier die like this!
Tails was too confused.
"READY!!"
Tails forgot all about the voice and focused on the guns.
"AIM!!!"
Tails shook rapitly. He couldn't breathe. He was-
"FIRE!!!"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
… dead…
Tails felt the blow of each shot. The lasers each peirced his chest as blood started to flow from each wound.
He felt cold.
He felt it getting dark.
He felt…..
Tails couldn't think anymore about it as he fell to the ground… motionless…
Darkness
(Unknown)
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Was he dead?
Tails felt his consciousness returning. He felt… peaceful.
Yet his head was killing him.
Not that it should mean anything.
He was dead right?
WAKE UP!!
Tails opened his eye only to see… wood?
I'm in a coffin.
He looked a bit above himself.
He was lying in a coffin, his hands were folded on his stomach and they were holding flowers, roses to be exact.
Amy….
Are you going to stare at those flowers or are you going to listen to me?!
"Wait… your that voice!" Said Tails
Ding ding ding! Congratulations challenger number one! You just won a first class trip to reality!
Tails moved his hands to his head and grumbled about a head ache.
Well you fell to your head so I guess that should be obvious.
"Wait… I'm not dead?" He asked in surprise.
Wow, took you this long to realize? Man, you're slow.
"Wait… who are you?!" Demanded Tails, "Why am I not dead? Where are you to be exact and what's going on?!"
So many questions so little time….well I'll just say this. My name I will tell you later, you're not dead because I prevented it, I'm in you and you're stuck in a coffin six feet under.
This only brought more questions.
Look, just break your way out of this coffin and then dig yourself out.
Tails wanted more answers, but he obeyed. He figured it would take him a few tries to break out of this coffin. He went for a punch and… he shattered the opening!
Before Tails could say anything in shock, a bunch of dirt came down and started to fill the coffin up. Not wanting to be buried alive, Tails dug upward with all his might. To his surprise this was too easy.
When he finally got out he gasped for air. He found out it was raining.
How?
Because rain fell on his head. Duh.
Tails got out and looked around. He was in an abandoned field somewhere in the Great Forest. The only thing here was a grave.
Tails looked at it:
Here Lies Miles Prowler
Tails couldn't believe it. He was alive.
Quick, fill the grave so nobody notices.
Tails understood and started putting dirt back in and padding it. When it looked like it was fresh and new. Tails ran for cover under the trees and slowly started to relax.
"Okay. I did as I asked, now my questions." Said Tails.
Talk in your head kid. I can hear your thoughts.
Tails was freaked out by that, but he tried it.
Can you hear me?
Roger Major Tom. This is ground control; we hear you loud and clear.
Are you always like this?
Kid, when you turn older then 40,232 years old, you'll understand.
40,232 years old?! Who the hell are you!?
Me… kid I'm the one who saved your furry ass…..but I'm also the one who caused you to almost get killed in the first place.
Tails was confused
Allow me to introduce myself….I am The Demon Knight, Sparta, and now I live inside you.
WHAT!!!!?
Tails jumped to his feat and shouted, "YOU'RE THE DAMN REASON I'M HATED! IT'S YOUR ENTIRE FAULT!! DAMN YOU!!" He shouted as he kept hitting his stomach over and over again.
Tails kept beating himself up over and over until he was tired and collapsed.
Kid, that's not going to do anything, but hurt you. I'm in your soul, you process me. The only way I can get out is if you die.
Then give me one good reason not to kill myself!
Well one, I don't want to back to hell yet. I've only just got out and the last time I escaped hell was millennia's. Second, I wouldn't let you because while I am to blame, believe me I didn't want this to happen. I'm sorry.
Tails was confused. Why was a demon apologizing?
Kid, don't believe everything you hear. Not all of us demons are so bad. Well, we all use to since the War in Heaven, but many of us have changed and others….wellllllll….. There still complete dickhe*ds.
Tails sat under the tree and said, "I don't believe this."
Believe it kid.
Tails rubbed his head and said, "Alright, if your telling the truth, then tell me about yourself and the rest of you demons."
Well, I guess I could. We got time and all seeing as everybody thinks your dead. Went through your memories too by the way. You really liked that Amy girl. She was the only one at your funeral from what I saw.
Tails nodded and listened to "Sparta" tell his story.
Well I guess this story begins with all things, The Great Creation. You known, God created Earth, Heaven, man, animals, yata yata yata. I was one of the angels that served under God. Don't know what kind of angel I was though since it's been too long.
Anyway, Lucifer gets the idea to overthrow God and the War in Heaven starts. I joined Lucifer's side which we all know was the losing side and we were all send down into hell where Lucifer became Satan and the ruler of all evil.
After which we were left to spend our days in hell. Trying to manipulate humans to do sins to get revenge on God of course. I was one of the demons who inspired people the anger necessary to kill.
But, over time we got board. Satan was doing his own works in the ninth layer of hell and all the rest of us were left to do what we wanted. Torturing humans who have gone to hell was fun and all, but it get's boring unless your sad*stic.
Anyway, one day I was looking at earth when I wondered what made humans so great? What did God love so much about humans?
I found out later.
I was summoned, via sacrifice of course. After I killed the guy who summoned me I was free to do what I wanted. All of us demons desire the freedom to be in the mortal realm. To do things we could never do in hell wither it harmed others or helped them. Summoning us was one of the few ways we could do it.
As I was thinking about what I should do I meet this women….she was….she was a goddess almost. I fell in love with her, which is not rare for a demon or an angel if you want to be surprised or not, and she with me. She was kind and such. We adopted children of our own and started an orphanage.
I always grew in fear that she would abandon me should my demonic nature have been revealed. But when she found out she didn't care. She said I was a good person and I could ask forgiveness from God. I cried and knew I could be saved.
When she died of old age, I felt a need to return to hell so I did.
I was just in time. A fellow 7 th level demon I knew named, Mundus, was trying to recruit an army of demons to help take over the human world and such. I a demon, who loved humans, couldn't stand for this.
I wanted to prove I wanted forgiveness from God so I gathered an army of demons who wanted to be forgiven, loved humans like me, or other reasons. The battles were long and hard, we fought even in the mortal world which would be known as the Dark Ages. Humans, angels, and demons fought Mundus and defeated him.
I was called the Demon Knight of Mortals and since then I made it my duty to help humans and other mortals, such as you Mobians, from the powers of evil demons to prove my need for forgiveness on the Last Day.
Tails couldn't help but believe him. He felt that his demon was telling the truth.
So you've been on the mortal plane many times?
Yes, most demons have one way or another. By sacrifice, portal, or by there own magic. We demons only desire to be free on the mortal realm, some do it to have fun as hell is boring, some do it to commit acts of evil or good, and some also just to it for other reasons. I've been on earth many times, fighting evil, in wars, had wives and children. I've always come back to hell if I'm killed or I choose to. You can't completely destroy angels or demons; just send them back to heaven or hell so they can be reborn a few dozen years later by mortal time.
But what about Lucifer? Isn't he in control of all of you?
That old fartbag. Ha! He only sits in his icy cold world planning his revenge and such. That bastard is powerful and he does control us, but he's to busy influencing mortals to do acts of sin and planning for the Final Battle.
Anyway, I was in hell at the time sleeping when suddenly I felt my soul being summoned to the mortal plane.
I was shocked, but I was ready, but they screwed the f*ck up.
How?
The way the used to summon me was the 13 Maiden Sacrifices. Basically, you have to kill 13 special virgins and then you have enough power to summon any kind of demon. Since, they were in my shrine, which was built for me ages ago t hey decided to summon me. Since you were there instead of a female I guess you were the son of one of them and they thought you woulkd be good enough, which might have worked but some dumbass messed up on the writings on the pentagram and instead it made me get sealed into you, a first for me, even though I have heard of demons being sealed into people.
Anyway, because of this my soul and your soul were mixed and my power made you go wild and caused you to kill the cultists. After this, I decided to try and stop my power from causing you to go crazy. As I tried to contain it however, it got lose for a short while and that was when you killed those guys who found you.
Tails felt guilty for killing them.
It's not your fault, this just happened. Anyway, when I found out you were about to be killed I had to do the only thing possible… don't be mad….I turned you into a half demon…
WHATT!!!
Tails couldn't believe it, he was a demon now… well half demon anyway.
Look this is a good thing! Your stronger then any mortal, you're almost as fast as that blue hedgehog guy, you're immune to most physical damage. You got power man! My power!
Tails was still feeling a bit down bout this.
Look….if this helps… I Sparta, swear to help you with all my power, Miles Prowler, till you die.
Tails smiled a bit and nodded, Thanks… I guess.
Great….now we have to figure out what to do.
Tails got a sense of determination in his eyes and said "Were leaving the Great Forest. Miles Tails Prowler is dead….I've been reborn as someone else."
I'm going to become strong. So strong that I'll be better then Sonic. I'll become the strongest person on Earth! So everyone will no who I am.
That might be a problem.
Huh?
Yeah, I kind of forgot to mention this. There's going to be some pretty heavy sh*t going on man. It's going to be worse then the last demons summoning a few years ago. Demons from all over are going to appear. Something big is going down man. Something real big.
How do you know?
Mudus. I was fighting him when he told me the mortal world would soon be over run by demons. I was trying to figure out a way to save it when I got summoned.
How many demons are we talking here?
Hundreds, thousands. Some will be harmless and will want to just spend time on earth, but I think there are going to be a lot of evil demons and cults trying to gain control of earth and all that bad sh*t. You mortals have good tactics and can kill a lot of demons, but this may be a bit too much.
Tails clenched his fists. If that many demons were coming to kill, many innocent people would die.
No not while he had something to say about it.
I'm going to train my hardest. I'm going to become a demon hunter. Even if I am a half demon, I'm still half mobian! I'll protect the innocent no matter what! And nobody, not even the Freedom Fighters or Sonic will get in my way.
That's the spirit kid! Anyway, let's get training now! Let's head on back to my shrine and clean up the place first before we train and such.
Sparta….thanks….
Tails looked at his grave.
Miles Tails Prowler was dead.
A demon hunter however, had been born.
End.
I had to rush a bit at the end, but this was done well I think.
If you have any questions or such email me or send a message.
Read and review.
Later.
