Promise's I Make Are Unbreakable

Close

Blaring lights and the loud noises began to give Tails a headache. Fortunately, it snapped Tails out of his whole ordeal. Leaving Shadow and Rouge behind, he zoomed into the room.

He'll let Rouge and Shadow handle the badniks. Tails would rather focus on snatching the emeralds and leaving as quickly as possible. With the alarms going off, Eggman probably ditched Amy and Sonic to catch them.

Rouge and Shadow were shouting. From the corner of his eyes, Tails could see them attempting to fend off the incoming badniks. Tails just continue running ahead, searching for what they came for

Luckily, he didn't have to search far as Eggman did have a passion for flare. The 4 emeralds were held up by petal stools in caged in a glass chamber. On closer inspection, Tails noticed how the emeralds  seem to be a power source for most of Robotniks' army.

Hearing the roars of engines and gears behind him made Tails act quick. Using his metal tail, he easily broke the glass encasement.

As he stretched his arms out for it, though, a metallic arm had grabbed a hold of his non metal tail.

Turning his head back, he was met by 2 beaming red eyes.

The robot had a similar build as Sonic.

Tails had heard of this specific robot by the mobians who passed by his room.

They called him 'Metal Sonic'.

Currently, he was gripping his tail with the intent to break it. Tails spinned his tails and motioned himself to fly.

He flew over to the chaos and snatched it. Not before metal sonic pulled on his metal tail. Hard.

The breaking and bending of metal screeched into Tails ears. Without any actual nerves even being attached to his metal tail, Tails felt as if his actual bones were breaking.

Prosthetics did have their downsides after all.

A yell escaped his mouth. He pushed himself forward and away from metals grasp. Unfortunately, the robotic double hardened his grip.

Until his tail snapped. Wires and small pieces of metal went flying everywhere. All the items stored in his Tails flew everywhere.

Tears welled up in his eyes. His vision grew blurry, and a familiar feeling had set into his heart.

Tails fell to the ground, clutching the emerald he had at least managed to secure. He wasn't even allowed a breather as metal was on the attack again.

The robot lunged at Tails. He tried to dodge, but the metal hand got ahold of his face and pinned him down. Metals claws teared into his skin, and blood flowed down his face.

Tails tried to look for any weapons or anything to help him out, but as he scanned the room, he saw a wave of badniks arrive.

Rouge and Shadow were struggling to hold them back. Tails had the emerald. Sure, they might not have gotten all three, but this was enough.

All they needed was a way out.

But Tails couldn't really do anything as a murderous robot was nearing his claws closer to his neck.

The glimmer of metal taunted Tails. As it approached closer, the kitsune could see his own reflection.

He was afraid. That feeling from earlier grew, and it was too much for him to take.

So he let it out.

Flashes of light. Screeching noises of metal being torn apart flooded the room. It was a blur for Tails.
