MMMUUUHHHAAAA!

-Tails’ Nightmare-

The orange fox zoomed through the skies, zipping in and out of clouds quicker than a bullet. His Tails whirled effortlessly, propelling him sideways, over, and under as he smiled at the warm waves of the sun’s heat that hit his face.

The sky was a beautiful sky blue and the clouds were shaded with a ravishing golden outline; delivered by the sun’s rays that made the clusters of vapor seem as if they glowed themselves.

Tails felt as if he was in heaven, finally at peace with himself…

He didn’t have to worry about Eggman, what new device he had to build, or worry about the sake of others; All that mattered right now was how much fun he was having and deciding which direction to go at, which, didn’t really matter at all.

“So this is how Sonic feels…no wonder he likes to run alone by himself so much…” Tails said as he extend his arms and began to spin at leisure pace.

He closed his eyes, knowing that he was way too upraised in the air for anything to hit him except for the warm wind whisking at his face. Tails turned to his backside and placed his hands behind his head as he simply just hovered in the air without a any care in the world…

Soon though, that same relaxing air began to dissipate; for the fox began to smell…smoke…

Tails’ eyes swung open and he flipped around noticing that he was headed directly for a haze of toxic smog. He tried to stop, but his propelling tails were moving in such a fast rate that it would take him time for the two tailed fox to stop alternating them without hurting himself.

Unfortunately, with no other discretion, he did it anyway.

The kitsume could feel both of his tailbones rupture instantly as he halted them at the velocity that they were moving. He screamed in agonizing pain, as the fox began to plunge towards the ground. Falling directly into another cloud of evaporated mire.

As soon as he took a breath he started sinking towards death faster than the fall could ever do…

The poison burned holes through his lungs, infecting the rest of his body. He could feel his insides stop working; ceasing function instantaneously and simplify melting away.

Below him, Tails was hurdling into a robotic metropolitan that was plagued with smoke and smog from factories siphoning toxic gases into the air by its exceedingly large pipes. Each area had a symbol of a mad scientist that everyone knew all too well...

His palpitating immediately stopped as Tails rammed through a ceiling window of a building, his small body bouncing when it hit the cold hard steel floor. All the bones that his body contained were all broken by the fall he had endured, but the pain that the smog had already caused in his body was far too great for him to even feel anything else…

The last thing Tails saw or heard before he passed away…was the villainous Eggman who was laughing insanely.

“Nice of you to drop by…” The mad scientist said as a wicked smile appeared on his face. “Welcome to my world and this time your blue savior will not be hear to rescue you!”

The fox didn’t know whether it was the excruciating burning that he felt around his entire body or the impact of the fall, but soon his world began to turn black as blood oozed from the back of his head. Tears erupted in his eyes; the last lamentations that he knew he would ever conceive again.

“Sonic…”

In just five seconds, his cruel fate had finally arrived as the grim reaper delivered the final swing to collect his anima. Tails eyes rolled to the back of his head as blood erupted from his mouth. His head tilted to the right and soon the kitsume was nothing more…

Than a lifeless corpse…

-End of Tails’ Nightmare-

Tails! Are you all right?

The fox began to open his eyes slowly.

Tails!

He screamed, waking up with a start as he jumped to his feet and looked around at his surroundings.

“Eggman! Where is Eggman!” Tails screamed from the top of his lungs in a delusional state.

Sonic quickly grabbed Tails in attempt to soothe him.

“ Shhhh…Its all right man, Eggman is no where near here…” Sonic said as he began to pat his back. “You just had a bad dream that’s all…”

Talis began to quiver…

“But-but I was falling and I landed directly in his base and-

“Its okay…Its okay. All you did was fall out of your bed…” Sonic exclaimed trying hard to stay solemn and not blurt out laughing.

As the blue hedgehog began to rub the orange fox’s head he noticed that Tails had a knot on his scull. Quickly, Sonic realized that his long time friend was going to need ice to ease the swelling.

“Little buddy, I have to go outside real quick and get some ice for that bump. Climb into bed and get some more rest okay…”

“But Sonic…”

“Nothing is going to hurt you Tails…” He said as he witnessed him climb up the small latter to the top bunk.

“ Except the floor; if you are going to fallout of the top bunk again!” Sonic thought as he chuckled in his head.

The spiked animal picked up his blanket from the wooden floor and tossed it to Tails who was now lying down with his eyes wide-open, shaking in a combination of shock and trepidation.

“I’ll be right back…” Sonic said as he grabbed a rag and opened the door reveling the eerie silent night outside.

The cerulean hedgehog’s eyes widened in fear…

After all those frightening fables, the cerulean hedgehog didn’t even want to wander in the dark by himself anymore. He looked to the side and noticed the cooler was right next to the corner of the cabin. He could barely see it, but he knew it was there…

“Your lucky Tails because if that cooler was anywhere else, you would have been sore tonight…”

The cabin’s door closed slowly behind him as he took a step outside…

--------

Meanwhile Knuckles was beginning to get a little restless himself…

-Knuckles’ Nightmare-

After a long day of saving the world alongside of Sonic and the others, it was time to lay down and get some leisure for the echidna was exhausted and hardly wasn’t able to stand on his own feet. He had his hands behind his head, finding a comfortable spot on the Master Emerald. Normally the monstrous gem was unresponsive at night, but today was special as it glistened a dim warm glow; like sitting in front of a tepid fire. The day was very extensive and fatiguing so he was grateful that at last he had some time to be by himself…

The way he always liked it to be…

Knuckles gazed upon the starry sky that gleamed in the dead of night. The moon was full, shining with all its glory; illuminating the night slightly and all the guardian could do was look at it; falling into it’s trance of beauty. Knuckles had never seen such a ravishing sight, but soon the easeful blanket of slumber began to fall on to him as his eyes began to get hefty and gradually seal.

At that moment…is when he heard it…

The silent, but harsh breathing…

He opened an eye to see that someone was approaching him…

Suddenly a rush of energy flowed through him as the crimson echidna jumped on his two feet and flared his nostrils in anger.

“Who are you!” He yelled bluntly.

The shadowed figure began to get closer at a casual pace, but no response came. Knuckles slammed his fist together creating a thundering sound.

“I WON’T REPEAT MYSELF AGAIN! WHO ARE YOU?” Knuckles screamed at the top of his lungs.

The figure moaned slightly and began to move a lot quicker toward Knuckles as if it was running.

“Okay, if it’s a fight you want! It’s a fight you will get!” Knuckles said as he got into a ready stance.

Soon the shadowed figure revealed itself to be Rouge, but her face was not there at all. All there was was a twisted deranged mouth as if it had been convoluted with a pair of tweezers and beaten with a rock.

Knuckles stepped back in fear…

“Is that you Rouge…” Knuckles said in a moment of shock.

She stopped…

“My…emerald…” Rouge said in a low ghastly voice.

Knuckles head jerked back a bit and his right eye began to twitch…

Suddenly the deranged bat jumped into the air and attacked Knuckles with a flying kick. The guardian dodged the attempted assault easily, pushing her leg away from him. Rouge flipped and the bat zipped by him, slamming into the ground headfirst then tumbled down the stairs of the shrine.

The echidna could hear her neck brake instantly as she rolled down the steps…

“Rouge!” He screamed in shock as he began to descend the staircase.

Knuckles stopped when he made it down half way with horror stricken as he saw the bat rise to her feet and snap her own neck back in place. Rouge shrieked a blood-curdling cry and lunged herself at the echidna, flapping her wings vigorously like a heinous devil.

A serious look came across Knuckles’ face as he drew back his right fist. Timing it correctly, as soon as Rouge got a half a meter from his face, he swung and hit the white bat directly on the façade, plunging her back to the ground.

She picked her head up in an attempt to rise, but her head went back down hitting the grass, unconscious…

“I don’t know what is wrong with you Rouge, but you or no one else is touching my emerald!” He screamed as he cracked his neck.

At that moment Knuckles began to hear moaning from others…

He looked around to see Sonic, Tails, Goblez , Amy, Narisha, Celestial, Kyra, and Blaze heading for him. The guardian’s eyes widened shock as they all had the same odd face. For a moment they all halted, drool dripping from their mouths. They all picked their heads up high…

Simultaneously…

“My…EMERALD!” They all shrieked in unison as they threw themselves to a dumbfounded echidna…

“Holy hell…”

-End of Knuckles’ Nightmare-

It took about a good thirty minutes, but Sonic finally was able to get to the cooler that was just ten feet from the cabin door. Taking a good look around first Sonic opened the cooler and commenced putting ice-cubes in the rag.

When the hedgehog was just about done, he heard something…

A crackling noise amiss the darkness…

He picked up his head and looked around, but no one was there…well as far as he could see since the area was pitch black and he couldn’t see absolutely anything.

Making sure everything was clear, Sonic went back to what he was doing and then suddenly Sonic felt something on his back. He screamed at the top of his lungs and stumbled over the cooler, falling flat on his face.

“Seems like I’m not the only one scared tonight huh…”

The infuriated hedgehog got back up spitting grass out of his mouth and stared into Amy’s eyes.

“Boo…” She said jokingly.

“AMY!” Sonic yelled with a look of fury slapped across his face. “Why did you do that for?”

“Thought it would be fun,” She said as she wrapped herself in her blanket. “You should have seen your face it was priceless.”

“What you call fun is what I call annoying…” Sonic said as he picked the dropped rag of the floor and commenced putting ice-cubes in the rag again.

“Anyway, what is that for?”

“What?”

“The ice…why are you getting ice.”

A smile came across Sonic’s face.

“Tails fell out of his bed…” Sonic said trying to reframe from laughing.

Amy began to cackle hysterically.

“Are you serious? (Chuckle) What happened?” Amy said trying to control herself.

“Hey look it’s not funny!” Sonic said turning around to Amy with a stern look on his face. “Well at least for him!”

They both looked at each other for a mere two seconds and began to roar with laughter.

---

After a bit of making-fun-of-Tails and chitchat, Sonic warped the rag into a pouch and tied the corners so it would work like an ice pack and he, accompanied with Amy, began to walked toward the guy’s cabin door, talking on the way.

“So you never told me what caused Tails accident?” The pink hedgehog asked curiously.

“Nothing much, he just had a nightmare.” Sonic said with a smug look on his face.

“Oh...” Amy said softly as she wrapped herself tighter, looking down to the ground.

There was a brief moment of silence…

“Ahhh…is there something wrong?” Sonic asked a bit worried.

Amy picked up her head and looked at him.

“Lets just say that Tails isn’t the only one having bad dreams tonight…” Amy said sadly. “Actually the reason I came out here was to-

“Don’t tell me,” Sonic said as he stopped walking. “You want to come into the guys cabin and sleep with us tonight?”

“Well…yeah.” The innocent hedgehog replied with a weak smile.

The cerulean hedgehog took a minute to think and Amy bit her lip hoping that he would say yes…

“Okay…as long as you don’t pull that crap at Tail’s birthday party.” He said as they continued walking.

“Hey that was not my fault… it was those gases that came out of Tails new invention with the balloons got to me…”

“Well they got to you pretty good…I had no idea that you had a tattoo on your left butt cheek…”

Amy glared at Sonic.

“You looked!” Amy screamed in rage.

“Hey the ass was there…not like I had much of a choice.”

The insulted hedgehog folded her arms and simply leered at Sonic with animosity. All Sonic could do was look away and whistle.

The two reached the entrance and Sonic opened door, letting Amy go in first before him.

They walked into his section of the house to see that everything was just how he left it. Tails was still awake and Knuckles was sleeping like a rock.

“You can sleep on the echidna’s top bunk…” Sonic exclaimed as Sonic tucked Tails in placing the ice-pack on Tails’ throbbing scull.

“Okay...” said Amy as she began to climb the small later.

All of a sudden Knuckles woke up and gripped his right hand around Amy’s leg.

“MY EMERALD! LEAVE MY EMERALD ALO-

Amy yelped in fear, but quickly sent Knuckles back to sleep by a hard kicked delivered to the side of his face.

“Damn he just got knocked the hell out!” Sonic said as he began to laugh and Tails had a shocked look on his face.

“What happened to him? Why did he grab my leg like that!” Amy said in a mixture of rage and confusion.

“I don’t know…maybe a bad dream or something, I know that he will have a bad headache in the morning!”

After a while everyone settled back into bed and slowly began to doze off back to sleep, but it seems this time Sonic is beginning to get a little unnerving…

-Sonic’s Nightmare-

Sonic opened his eyes, but when he did, it seemed as though he hadn’t opened his eyes at all. All he could see was a never-ending darkness that seemed to be glaring back at him. It felt like all his enemies where all around him, but he couldn’t see where they were. This new environment scared Sonic a bit as he felt a jolt run through his spine.

He began to get worried…

“Hello!” Sonic screamed at the top of his voice.

But the only answer he got was his own echo, an echo that seemed to go on forever…

In a desperate attempt to find something, he stuck his hands out to feel the air and began to steadily walk in the utter darkness.

“Knuckles... Tails...umm guys?” Sonic said in a low voice. “Are you guys here?”

Again the only answer he got was his own echo and Sonic was getting a little bit worried…

Sonic had strolled for a good ten minutes when he suddenly hit something, stumbling backwards a bit.

“What in the heck did I just…”

The confused hedgehog opened his eyes and noticed that a spotlight was now surrounding him. Sonic looked up with a perplexed expression and put his hand over his head to block some of the light. He squinted his eyes and tried to find where the light source came from, but it didn’t seem like it was coming from anywhere. He put his head back down and looked around.

“What in the hell is going on?” Sonic said with a frightened look.

Then another spotlight appeared about a few yards away from Sonic…

In the spotlight revealed to what seemed like Tails who looked as if he was dangling in the air. The way his body was positioned though made it seem like he was hanging from chains, but the chains were not visible…

Hesitating slightly, Sonic slowly walked toward the fox…

“Tails...” He called his name weakly.

But Sonic didn’t get any answer from him…

All he did was twitch slightly…

Sonic began to get a little close, putting out his right hand. He was about to tap on the fox on the shoulder, but he drew back.

“Wait...something is wrong...” He thought.

Tails began to move a little. Sonic took a step back and gave Tails an odd look.

“Ta-Tails…man…are you O.K?”

“Sa-...Son...Sonic?”

“Tails I’m here…What’s going on?” Sonic said as he moved closer to him.” What happened to you?”

The hedgehopped sighed in relief and smiled and took a few more steps forward, but as soon as he got eight inches from the two-tailed fox, he picked up his head.

A look of pure shock came across Sonic’s face.

Tails had no eyes and blood ran down from his eye sockets and dripped to the floor. When the red liquid got really close to the floor they disappeared in thin air.

Sonic’s eyes widened if fear even more...

“Fear…her…” The fox said weakly.

The apprehensive hedgehog shook his head and began to take steps back while the spotlight that was on Tails slowly faded away.

Sonic turned around and ran…

He knew that he was running aimlessly in the dark, but he was too sacred to worry about it. The confused hedgehog ran for about five minutes and that’s when he saw Knuckles who was just sitting on the floor facing his back to Sonic.

Sonic skidded to a stop and realized that the echidna was also in a spotlight...

“Knuckles?” Sonic said feebly.

The crimson echidna slowly started turning his head to the left…

He also had no eyes and blood flowed from his sockets as well.

It faded almost instantly…

Fear… her…

“What is going on!” Sonic yelled standing in complete darkness again.

He blinked and the dark place now was all white.

“What the!” Sonic said as he jumped back.

The confused hedgehog looked around then looked down...

Sonic now felt as if he wasn’t standing on anything. He jumped and picked up his feet slamming them back to their current position, but he didn’t feel any impact.

He squatted down and tried to feel the ground, but like his current attempt, he didn’t feel anything at all. Sonic blinked a couple of times and he slowly rose up from the floor still looking down.

Sonic…

He picked up his head and turned around.

“Tails? Knuckles?”

His two friends stood exactly five feet from each other looking toward Sonic with their hands to their side and their feet were slightly spread apart. This time though they had eyes just no pupils.

“Help us…” They both said in unison.

Sonic blinked both eyes again and it was now Amy standing before him…

Sonic jumped back in surprise.

“A...Amy!” Sonic yelled as his eyes widened.

Amy started walking toward Sonic…

The pink hedgehog stopped a yard away from him and smiled as she took the last two steps she could and stood before Sonic. Amy leaned over, kissing Sonic on the cheek and then moving her lips slowly to Sonic’s lips…

Beginning to kiss him passionately…

After Sonic realized what he was doing he backed up and gave Amy an raging look.

“Amy! WHAT IS GOING ON,” Sonic yelled in anger. “AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

Amy rotated her head and cracked her neck. Then she slightly tilted her head to the right. Then she slowly opened her eyes; her eyelids stopping half way.

“Amy?” Sonic asked confused..

The pink hedgehog gave him a sexual look and then stuck the tip of her right middle finger in her mouth. Amy moved it around in her mouth then she took it out and then held her right hand in front of her palm side up.

Sonic took a step back…

“Are you the one doing all of this?”

Amy simply gave Sonic a smug look…

“You better listen to them…” She said softly in a heinous voice. “Fear…me…”

Amy snapped her fingers and Sonic felt a shot of pain run through his entire body.

Blood spat from his mouth as he could feel his inner organs twist and rip apart. He screamed in agonizing pain as his eyes slowly began to emerge out of his eye sockets… and scars and gashes appeared all around his body.

After a couple seconds, Sonic was in the same shape as the others…

Then, Amy Rose approached Sonic and kissed him full on the lips. When she separated from him the pink hedgehog looked at the now horribly transformed Sonic with a passionate look…

“Now you belong to me…along with everyone else…”

------

Sonic eyes swung open immediately as he began to pant heavily…

His eyes quickly darted to Amy…

She was sound asleep…

He relaxed, but he didn’t go to sleep that night. For he was to busy…watching the innocent looking hedgehog in utter suspicion.

“I won’t…let you…get me…”

To be continued…

Weird huh…well it has been fun!
