The beginning of the end

Third Person P.O.V.

A calm before a storm seemed suitable for this situation. The air was so tense that you could cut through it with a butter knife. Every move was growing more and more violent. This battle would decide everything. Either the end for good.... or the beginning of evil.

Two against four and it still seemed impossible for our heroes to win. Can the blue blur pull out another victory?

Sonic and Shadow exchanged worried glances as they watched their dad, uncle and two of Sonic’s best friends manipulated by the puppeteer. Their eyes were blank and held no emotions in them. If one were to look a bit closer, they would see a pair of red rings around their irises like a collar... or a noose. Perhaps, it meant that Mayhem controlled them. The question was...how?

Sonic's face was the epitome of worry. Hope seemed to have all but left him. There’s a feeling inside him that even he couldn’t explain. And as he gazed into the eyes of his family, he couldn’t help but wonder: How did Mayhem got a hold of his dad, uncle, Tails and Knuckles combined?

Flashback

Before Sonic and Shadow arrived at Vanilla’s

Tails and Knuckles appeared from thin air inside of Vanilla’s house with the help of Circe and Jules’ chaos control. Everyone was startled, but calmed after realizing it just them. They were preparing for a party, one for chilling together with family and friends after what happened recently. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened next.

They had been waiting for Sonic and Shadow to arrive, ready to surprise them. But instead.... ‘he’ arrived.

*Knock, Knock*

The kitsune exchanged confused and wary looks with the others. After a non-verbal exchange, Tails sighed as he walked towards the door after nobody dared to approach it. Peeking out to glance out at the subtle mirror and sucked in a startled gasp.

“Eggman?” with a heavy heart and hesitation to open the door, he slowly backed away from it, his mind troubled.

“That Eggman, what does he want now? It's a whole different level of weird to see Sonic’s arch-nemesis to knocking on the door. What should I do, guys? Should I open it, or not?”

The ruby echidna quickly made his way to Tails's side and stood reassuringly beside the fox.

“I’ll accompany you, Tails.” the Master Emerald guardian, aka Knuckles, gave Tails a small smile.

Tails smiled in response and nodded determinedly. “Okay. Here goes nothing.”

He reached for the door knob, about to twist the knob, when Knuckles whispered softly to his ear. “Whatever it is that madman is going to do, I’m gonna punch him so hard, that he'll become a second moon in the sky.”

Tails breathed softly and gulped as he twisted the knob to revealed the oval human scientist behind the door. He looked...distressed?

“Oh, it’s you Tails. And Knuckles,” he spoke nonchalantly. “I need your help. Where’s Sonic?” he peeked inside and the blue blur was nowhere in sight.

Knuckles quickly covered the inside from the mad scientist's vision, scowling. “What kind of games you playing here, Eggman?” he said with his arms crossed against his chest, his eyes narrowed.
