Chapter 8: Sonic and Tails together
Part 2 - Before the holocaust.

Within Tails' workshop, Sonic was on the couch watching a rented movie he picked up from Station Square. Within Tails' workshop, Tails was on the computer.

Tails surfed throughout the Internet and found a message from Robotnik.

Tails proclaimed. “It looks like Robotnik's up to something. Come over here and I'll play the message.”

Sonic, within a moment's time, was in the computer room. “Alright little brother, what do ya got?”

Tails hit play. “We're about to find out big brother.”

It showed Robotnik terrorizing Station Square with his egg pod and a wrecking ball attached to it. It then showed Robotnik looking into the camera and laughing insanely.

Sonic asked cheerfully. “You ready to kick some Robuttnik?”

Tails laughed. “You know I am! It reminds me of the other times I had to take on Robotnik. I just enjoy kicking Robuttnik so much.

“It won't be long before we take out Robuttnik, so let's. . .”

Sonic tore out his fur. “Would you shut up?! My god, we need to take on Robotnik.”

Tails calmed down, knowing Sonic can't always stand his love to talk. “Alright, let's go. To the Tornado!”

Sonic cheered. “Now, you're talking.”

Tails climbed down a trap door in his workshop and started the red bi-plane. The garage opened and a runway appeared above ground that was originally just grass and coconut trees.

Tails saluted. “Come on Sonic. Hop on.”

Sonic leaped onto the Tornado and stood on like a heroic statue. “I'm ready Tails. Take us to Station Square.”

Tails flew off the runway and, as the two of them approached Station Square, it seemed like ice was forming. It was Winter.

Tails had investigative thoughts. I know why there isn't anything at my workshop. Its because it usually stays warm where we're at. My workshop is in the middle of an ocean and its close to the equator, so yeah.

Once Tails and Sonic reached Station Square, it appeared that Robotnik had already leveled three buildings.

Also, because Sonic and Tails forgot it was winter in Station Square, the two of them were freezing. They could practically see their breath when they breathed. Knowing it was winter, Tails had to act fast.

Tails flew toward Robotnik's egg pod and tapped a button to lower a grappling hook holding a bucket of water.

When Tails got close enough to the chain holding the destructive wrecking ball, he released the bucket of water. The water contacted the chains and froze to the chain links.

Tails cheered. “Bulls eye.”

Sonic asked. “What should we do now? The water on the chains probably isn't enough.”

Tails explained as he cleared the wrecking ball and a collapsing building. He knew he'd have to make this fast. “When I do a turn around and get close enough to the chains, I want you to saw throughout the chains I froze. Then the wrecking ball will crash to the ground and Robotnik will fly off in defeat.”

Sonic nodded. “Roger.”

Tails turned the Tornado around and flew toward the chain links. Once he got close enough, he raised his voice so the wind will carry what he was saying toward Sonic. “Big brother, do it now!”

Sonic jumped in the air and sawed throughout the chain links. The wrecking ball crashed to the ground and Sonic was falling to the ground as well.

Sonic cried out as he made his descent. “Tails, help me.”

Tails hurried to turn the tornado around and was in pursuit. “Don't worry, I'm almost there.”

Tails managed to get Sonic safely onto the Tornado in the nick of time. However, that need to get Sonic safely onto the bi plane also made him very cold.

The tornado in the cold of winter nearly shut down. It took a little while to coax the bi plane to climb into the air and the tail of the airplane scraped against some buildings on its way down to the street below. The butt of the tail scraped against the cement and sparks flew from the airplane. Tails managed to get the airplane back into the air and safely maneuvered it slowly, despite the immense cold.

Tails' teeth chattered. “Brr. We need to get out of here and fast.”

Sonic agreed. “Let's go.”

Robotnik left in defeat. “I hate those two little pests.”

Tails, before he left, raised his voice to mock Robotnik. “Whose a child coward now you huge tub of egg yolk?” He nearly passed out even as he said that.

Tails flew the Tornado and got the two of them back to the warm climate in the Mystic Ruins before any of them suffered from frostbite.

Tails landed the airplane and rushed inside his workshop to make two hot chocolates.

Sonic wasn't too far behind and he congratulated Tails for a great job. “Way to go Tails. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made and there's a top notch hole for you in my heart.”

Tails wasn't sure if he liked the way Sonic was congratulating him.

What does he he mean by that, Tails thought.

Tails asks to clarify his confusion. “What did you mean by 'sometimes sacrifices have to be made'? Did you know that my airplane nearly crashed from the cold? I worked forever on that airplane. Did you mean my airplane crashing as something that required sacrifice?”

Sonic explained. “What I meant to say is that you have a place in my heart that no one can replace. I love you and we're brothers until the end.”

Tails smiles. “Thanks for the clarification.”

Sonic returned his attention to Tails: his little brother. “You're welcome.” Sonic hugged Tails.

Tails loved the embrace and he had to release the hug. “What are you gonna do Sonic?”

Sonic explained. “Knuckles said he wanted to go on vacation from guarding the Master Emerald for awhile and gave me an invitation to tag along. So I gotta go.”

After that little thought, Sonic was out of the workshop and getting ready for his next adventure.
