War for love

Dear Diary The public

Tails POV

My chest tightens making it impossible to breath properly, Today is the day I face the public for the first time, I have always hated being in the spotlight maybe because I only see the negative effects on everything but hey, Im just being practical, Fame is nothing but a curse that will control and criticize you till you eventually destroy yourself just to break free, But here I am behind the red curtain of doom, I felt frozen as the ground beneath me held me still in my place without a single word. While I was self deprecating, A hand touched mine, I was a nervous wreck but I could tell that it was Sonic's hand not because I know what his hands feels like. But because I saw a blue figure from the corner of my eyes. His soft hand made me feel more relaxed and calm, taking a few deep breath I shook the fear away,' I need to do this to protect my privacy, space and family, I love being in peace and this will have to be done sooner or later' My thoughts were slowly driving me nervous again, I think Shadow saw the tension on my face, Because while I was drowning myself in my own pool of thoughts, He rested his hand on my shoulder, I swear I jumped a bit, But feeling their skin against mine made me feel less alone. I felt the fear steadily departing my body soon I felt confident. To think about it, Im not exactly the only one who had to deal with this right?

Authors POV

So many questions started to be thrown like grenades in a battlefield, where there was no barrier or shield from the burning flames of explosions. But those questions was faced with no fear by the very person that helped hiding the truth, "Sergeant Major Huff! what do you know about this hidden secret? And why is it done in the first place?" The Belgian raised his head looking right through the eyes of the reporter before he spoke. " The day Amadeus tragically died I was there, He wasn't alone, he was never alone. Jules and Gerald His team was always there, the main reason why they were never introduced was their choice and their families , They desire a life in a  peaceful place, And you are well aware that you would never respect that."  The room was filled with silence from the crowd, As if he read the thoughts of those people hungry for gossip, Catching his breath he continued " Now we will hear the statements of the very people that felt the greatest pain the day our heroes saved mobius." He stepped down from the podium continuing his way behind the curtains letting the new speaker take the stage, But as he walked away he placed his hand on his chest trying to stop that sting inside closing his eyes letting his memories play like a track in his mind,

Flashback

The soldier let the two way radio speak while he held his chest tightly as if his heart was forcing it's way out of his chest, but focused on recording everything making sure that his whines was not heard he silently let himself tear up like a little boy despite being one of the best students, he also loved his mentor like a father that he never had.

"Soldier! that is not how a man behaves" A voice spoke causing the belgian to lose sight of the little pickpocket that was once before him, this made the belgian angry throwing his fist against  the wall. "What do you want!" he yelled turning his head swiftly to the person that made him fail to retrieve his valuables, "Do you really think that beating up the little boy makes you a tough person, Besides he doesn't have your wallet" He said plainly then threw a brown object towards the belgian who was dumbfounded, he stared at what was in his hand before receiving a good strong punch in his guts from the man that made him realize his mistake. It was strong enough to bring him to his knees, "Apologize to that boy....... Because you acted like a mindless bastard" he spoke before disappearing from the sight of the temporarily paralyzed belgian. He reflected and apologized to the boy after finding him and his mom in her deathbed, He made sure to send him to a place warm where he will receive care and compassion.

 He returned to the camp but was greeted by the mysterious Fox that gave him a good punch, " What the hell are you doing here?" "Oh didn't I told you. Im your new trainer. I was told you were the strongest but not really the brightest." This has pushed a button from the easily angered belgian " hey old man I don't know who you think you are but you ain't my damn trainer! Even if you are what the hell do you think you can teach me!!" The fox's expression changed in a matter of seconds, slowly approaching him and spoke  "You're strength does not define you as a great soldier or a man, Character does. The power of your physical body is important yes, But the power of your mind will make you unstoppable, I will teach you how to balance the strength of your mind and muscles Once you do, I know someday you will surpass me" He smiled warmly, the belgium was confused but laughed and said "One day I will surpass you and give you a taste of my revenge from punching me in the gut!"  " Ill  be looking forward to that"  

End of flashback

The belgian relaxed his head against the wall while his eye's were glued to an old rugged brown wallet that rested safe in his hands and listened to his surroundings. He kept a shut eye as he paced towards the exit with his hands resting in his pocket " Im leaving it up to you Miles, Hope you're as courageous as Amadeus said"

Finally taking a brave step, Tails faced the crowd, for the first time, It was obvious that he didn't want to be himself at that particular moment, Despite this he remain in his position and spoke   " Good evening to all of you, You probably know who I am, for sure but normally people my age shouldn't be dealing with this, But still its better to clear all misunderstandings sooner, Im here with my friends rather than answering questions, We would like to just tell you the details ourselves" Right when he finished he realized that he was holding his breath as he spoke, His hands were shaking along with his knees. Sonic placed his hand behind him giving him enough support so he wouldn't loose his balance. The two stepped aside letting Shadow take his turn to talk to the press, Shadow did his best to make sure he looked calm and collected, Rather he looked intimidating as if he felt no pressure taking the spotlight all to himself, still he wants to make it quick. 

"My name is Shadow T Hedgehog Son of Gerald, My father was known for his inventions that helped the team throughout their missions, I look up to him alot, But we are nothing alike, we have little common traits, One of those is hating the public. I completely understand his choice to stay hidden, Id do the same. But tonight we are not here to tell our stories, We are here to properly introduce ourselves and put lies into a permanent rest. You wont be hearing anything from me again mainly because Im just a teenager wanting a normal life" Shadow turned his back like a pro, As if he was used to facing many people and casually talking to them like he knows them so well. The room was once again waiting for the last person to speak. Sonic placed his hands on his waist with his muscles obviously relaxed, Tails was at awe on how the two was chill about this. He did his best to maintain a straight face knowing that he was the only introvert he felt little. 

" My father was named Jules T Hedgehog he was the expert at combat battles, I wont bore you all with the details, My name is Sonic T Hedgehog you don't need to know much about me, because you wont need such information,I wont be showing my face again to the public, I also want to put all of your silly theories about our families and why we did what we did, We don't crave the flashy lights of your cameras or the questions you ask about our personal lives That's all" Sonic stepped down the podium and was ready to depart " Hey Shad, Tails lets get outta here" He paused when he got a glimpse of the ebony hedgehog who was giving concern looks towards his dear fox 

With his head down Tails stared at the ground and didn't utter a word, Until his blue pal finally brought back his attention to his surroundings by placing his hand on his shoulders " Tails you good?" he asked with worry in his eyes Tails gave them a forced smile as he tried not to show that he was somewhat bothered.  

"What do you feel Miles about Amadeus taking all the credit to himself?!"Suddenly a question that triggered the fox, he stopped in his tracks turning abruptly. He stared into the soul of the very man that asked the question that made his blood boil in a matter of seconds, His eyes containing anger inside them was glued only to one person as he spoke " My Father did not took anything from anyone, Infact he gave everything, Just to save people who would do anything just so they would get a good story to write and sell it out for money, He gave up seeing his son go to his first school, He gave up being with the people he loved most, He gave his life. let me introduce my self one last time and remember my name as it will always remind you of the reason you're still alive, My name is Miles Prower Son of Amadeus Prower the leader of his team, and I will not let anyone stain his name.
