the trio of tyranny

Requested by Alphawolf00001 

Tails the fox, looked at the tablet in his hands and sighed, 

in the window, he reflected on the ruined and broken surroundings behind the glass surface. He had always loved dark Mobius with its broken trees, buildings, It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel in power and control, especially as he and his big brother sonic the hedgehog had overthrown the old king that was the pitiful doctor Robotnik

speaking of his brother, he seemed to have joined with his observation of the world around him smirking as lightning teased the birds, making tails flinch ever slightly, not that sonic commented however

but as much as the two loved their rule in this dystopia, the two couldn't help but share an internal feeling of boredom, they had conquered all and were feared by all and as much as that was exciting, it could become lonely, the two had each other yes and would kill anyone who dared to take them apart...but even then you needed more interaction

they had been wanting to have a third member in their party for a while, a brother of sorts, just to add more to the fun mostly

a cooling piano played in the background as two powerful beings finally met eyes

"these people, so weak, cowering so easily, none of these makes good members, heck, they aren't even fun to torment anymore, they just let it happen" Sonic commented with a sigh of disappointment

"cheer up sonic, we will find someone, but your impatience gets in the way of my progress, perhaps go terrorize some orphans while I do some more searching" tails assured although with slight agitation, his brother although strong, could be so whiney sometimes

"very funny, but I have more class than that" Sonic scoffed as he tussled his brother's smart hair before running around in their dark castle, sitting in his designated throne before continuing "all I'm saying is that sometimes to find the best, you need to find themselves yourself"

"all the best have stories behind them and that's exactly what I'm trying to find!" tails said whilst waving his tablet in his face, his agitation simply growing

"they're stories because they not real or deeds were so cruel they were executed for their actions, if you want to find a true villain then let's go find one, this band of scared misfits aren't going anywhere, besides the more we prolong, the more we will become bored and the more we will get on each other's nerves" sonic reasoned whilst trying to encourage his ideas

"Alright, alright, I hear you, we'll try your method" tails sighed as he finally gave in to his brother's desires

"knew you would see it my way little brother" sonic grinned as the lightning grew and grew

and with that, they were off

they could hear the citizens praising joy when they declared they were leaving for a while, to which the two were very excited to punish them for when they come back

for most of their journey, there wasn't much for them to deem a worthy 3rd brother in arms

most of the people knew the famous duo and ran for the hills, which was always fun to run with and torment

overall it was good for fresh air

but after the 5th day, they were beginning to come to the middle of nowhere and their determination started to waver

they were getting at a point to leave before they heard whistling in the distance

curious overtook their bodies as they ventured further into the fields
