Sonic's Dilemma

I liked the scene after the credits of the second Sonic movie, where the Shadow capsule appears. Someone thinks that it was decided too early to add him to the cinematic Sonic universe. Well, I think it's just great! I hope that the third film about the blue hedgehog will be very spectacular and spectacular. And since Sonic's real blood parents were not shown in two films, I assumed that our blue hero could have been created artificially (however, this is also based on theories that Sonic was created on the ARK colony, which is also interesting to me), that is, practically being a brother to Shadow the hedgehog! Only my assumptions are written here, what the scene with Sonic and Shadow, who are blood brothers here, might look like. I hope you enjoy reading the fanfiction. And I also hope that there will be something similar in the film itself.

The ARK colony was pretty quiet until one of its corridors was visited by a guest. The blue hedgehog strode down the long dark corridor. His footsteps echoed faintly all along the corridor. "It's so quiet and empty here... I hope I'm going in the right direction," he mused to himself as he continued walking. A large metal door appeared in front of him, which immediately opened, letting the hedgehog go ahead. He went inside, and the door closed behind him. He found himself in a huge empty hall. There was nothing here except the floor, ceiling, walls and porthole. "So, don't panic, Sonic. You just took a wrong turn. Maybe we can still turn back?" he thought, until his thoughts were distracted by the sound of metal doors and someone's footsteps. Sonic got into a fighting stance when he noticed Shadow approaching him.

— Oh. You again? And why am I not surprised? — a black hedgehog with red stripes asked a question.

— I'm here to stop you and Robotnik! And you won't stop me! Sonic exclaimed.

"You underestimate me for nothing, faker. It's a shame," Shadow said, and there was a threat in his tone that made my skin crawl.

— Actually, this is not an underestimation at all, impostor! I know a lot about you and I can imagine what you are capable of as an opponent!

"Don't talk like you know everything about me!" — the red-eyed hedgehog shouted in anger to the green-eyed one, so that red lightning appeared on the skin. But then he took a deep breath, calmed down and continued the conversation:

— You assure me that you know about me. But are you so sure about this?

- Yes. You were created on the ARK colony 50 years ago, then soldiers came who killed many scientists here, and took the experiments for themselves and hid them in their top-secret base, including you in a capsule.

— This is only part of my whole story that you have learned, blue hedgehog. Let me tell it if you're so interested in it," said the black hedgehog, while slowly pacing around the blue one. The latter, watching his opponent, continued to stand in his stance so as not to be caught off guard. — Yes, my story begins from the moment I was created. And it happened even a little more than 50 years ago. My creator's name was Gerald Robotnik. He was a great scientist who sought to help people. But at the same time, he created various creatures that could help him in the interests of science. And I was among them. Maybe the creator had noble goals, but I would mildly call all these experiments not a very pleasant process. However, in addition to scientists and test subjects, I met my ray of hope in this cursed darkness. Her name was Maria. She was Gerald's granddaughter. Maria seemed to be the only one who really cared and cared about me more than these scientists. She was my only friend on the colony. — Shadow talked and went to the porthole, placing his right palm on it. — But she was taken from me. It happened 50 years ago when those damn soldiers invaded here! Then I took my friend in my arms to save her from the impending danger. However, I did not manage to do it. She pushed me into the capsule with a smile on her face and was about to press the lever so that only I would escape from the colony. And then one of those nasty soldiers ran into the room and shot Maria when she still managed to pull the lever. The moment I saw her bloody body, her sweet and kind face, her parting smile and tears, I swore to avenge her. I swore to destroy all this humanity! — A black-and-red hedgehog shouted, sparking with lightning, and struck the sturdy glass with his fist.

"I understand your pain, Shadow," Sonic suddenly said, and Shadow looked at him, ceasing to sparkle.

— Do you understand? No one can understand me.

— But I really know what it's like to lose someone you cared about... When I was very young, I was taken care of by an owl named Long Claw. She was like a mother to me. But then I accidentally brought a tribe of Echidnas to our house. Long Claw saved me, but she herself fell at their hands. I was alone for a long time, and then I met Tom, Maddy, then Tails and Knuckles. They became my new family.

— How can they be your family? They're not even related to you! You don't have blood in common with them! And you still call them family? Especially that echidna whose brothers killed your foster mother?

— Family does not necessarily have to be by blood. The main thing is for family members to love each other and be ready to stand up for each other, — Sonic tried to explain. Shadow just looked at him incredulously. — Besides, Knuckles is not to blame for this. And he and I let go of the difficult past so that we could live in the present. And I advise you to do the same. You can still fix this, Shadow. Come with me, and I promise you won't regret it," Blue continued, and then held out his hand.

But the black man only grunted, and then turned to his brother:

— You know, I also wanted to offer you something...

— And what is it? Sonic asked him.

— You see, I've been wanting to meet you for a very long time. That first meeting of ours was by no means an accident. I've been looking for you since I was released from the capsule.

— Did you want to meet? Looking for me? For what? Did you want to kill me? — the blue hedgehog did not understand.

— Oh, no. No. Your murder is not in my plans. For now. The fact is that you and I are of the same blood, or, to put it more simply, we are brothers.

— What's that?! — Sonic shouted in shock.

— Yes, you and I are kind of brothers, family.

— But how? I was born on Mobius!

"They just erased your memories of the colony and sent you to another planet. Doesn't that explain why you don't remember your parents at all? Your real, blood ones?

— But if you and I are brothers, then we shouldn't fight among ourselves. I can help you. I'll help you deal with your grief, even though it won't be easy...

"I don't need any help with this, little hedgehog. I rather wanted to invite you to team up with me...

— Team up? For what?

— To destroy these hateful and pitiful people! Shadow growled, clenching his left fist, and his eyes turned bright red at the same moment.

— But you work with one person yourself... Then why are you working for Robotnik if you hate people so much? Shadow laughed ominously at his question, while Sonic looked at him in disbelief.

— Ha, ha, ha, ha! Really... Did you really think that I, a Ultimate Life Form, was working for this arrogant, narcissistic and arrogant little man? He works for me without knowing it! — ULF replied, and then continued, almost hissing. — These scientists cannot be trusted. They did nothing but perform various tests on me, as if they were playing with a defenseless animal. I hated them all. If it wasn't for Maria, I would have destroyed them all.

— But why do you want me to join you? After all, you know yourself that I am against killing a lot of people.

— When I met you, I noticed a lot of potential in you. You are very fast, agile, strong, and wield the very power of chaos. Together, we would have become invincible. Besides, aren't the soldiers after you? I'm sure they'll stop at nothing to catch you and kill you, as well as your strange family... Wouldn't you like to take revenge on them? So that they never touch you again, threaten you? Join me, and we will destroy them and others who deprived us of people close to us, make them pay for it," and with these words, Shadow extended his hand, as Sonic had done earlier. The blue hedgehog himself was thinking.

It really sounded good in its own way. If he agrees to the offer, he will no longer have to deal with the GUN soldiers, and then he will live peacefully with his family and his brother. Sonic has been wanting to know about his family for a long time. A real, blood family. Find out your origin. To feel like one's own. His thoughts were suddenly distracted by Shadow:

— Agree, brother, and we will become one family. Didn't we both want to have a family?

Brother. A blood brother. It's so good to have someone like you. However, does Shadow understand the meaning of the word "family", besides the fact that she is of the same blood? Will Sonic be happy with someone who is focused on revenge? Besides, the black hedgehog, if he hates people so much, he can kill Tom and Maddie. Those who sheltered and accepted the blue hedgehog into their family. And Tails and Knuckles? Although they are not of the same blood, they also love him as if they were brothers. Sonic, thinking about all the options, finally decided... At first he reached out to offer his hand, but then pulled it back. His kinsman looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I can't,— Sonic replied.

— Why is that? — Shadow asked him calmly.

"If you're using Robotnik for your own purposes, why don't you suddenly want to use me?"

"Well, the doctor is just a pawn in my game, but you play a much bigger role than some kind of pawn. You're almost the same as me. Created by scientists, abandoned, left without an expensive creature.

— But we also have differences! I have those I can fight for, while you are alone, resentful of the whole world! — Sonic added, and from such words Shadow bared his teeth and growled. — Shadow, please, it's not too late to get off the warpath and take revenge. You can still find your happiness. After all, if you keep hatred, anger, anger and resentment in yourself, you will never get out into the world.

— I like this way! And I will not give up! You'd better answer me: "Are you with me or not?"

— No! You may be my blood brother, but my real family is the members of the Wackowski family! And if you dare to touch any of them, you WILL... TO HAVE... A CASE... WITH ME!!! — Sonic shouted. His eyes turned from green to blue, and he began to sparkle with blue lightning.

— Have it your way. You chose your own death, — Shadow hissed, also covered in lightning. With his eyes turning from scarlet to bright red, he glared at his brother.

And then two hedgehogs rushed at each other, and a battle began between them...

Добро пожаловать "Домой" (в ЕГО мир)!/Welcome "Home" (to HIS world)!

Боль предательства/The pain of betrayal

Дилемма Соника

Мне понравилась сцена после титров второго фильма про Соника, где появляется капсула с Шэдоу. Кто-то считает, что его слишком рано решили добавить во вселенную киношного Соника. Ну, а я считаю, что это просто классно! Я надеюсь, что третий фильм про синего ежа выйдет очень зрелищным и эффектным. И поскольку у Соника за два фильма не были показаны его настоящие кровные родители, то я предположила, что наш синий герой мог быть создан искусственно (впрочем это также основано на теориях, что Соника создали на колонии АРК, что мне также интересно), то есть практически являясь братом для ежа Шэдоу! Здесь написаны лишь мои предположения, как может выглядеть сцена с Соником и Шэдоу, которые тут являются кровными братьями. Надеюсь, что вам понравится читать фанфик. А также надеюсь, что что-то похожее будет и в самом фильме.

В колонии АРК было довольно тихо, пока в один из её коридоров не зашёл один гость. Синий ёж зашагал по длинному тёмному коридору. Его шаги еле слышно отражали эхо по всему коридору.

«Здесь так тихо и пусто… Надеюсь, что я иду в верном направлении», — размышлял он про себя, продолжая шагать. Вот перед ним показалась большая металлическая дверь, которая тут же открылась, пропуская ежа вперёд. Тот вошёл вовнутрь, и дверь за ним закрылась. Он оказался в огромном пустом зале.

Здесь, кроме пола, потолка, стен и иллюминатора, ничего было. «Так, не паникуй, Соник. Ты просто свернул не туда. Может, ещё можно повернуть назад?», — подумал он, пока его мысли не отвлекли звук металлических дверей и чьи-то шаги. Соник встал в боевую стойку, заметив приближающегося к нему Шэдоу.

— Оу. Снова ты? И почему я не удивлён? — задал вопрос чёрный с красными полосами ёж.

— Я здесь, чтобы остановить тебя и Роботника! И ты меня не остановишь! — воскликнул Соник.

— Ты зря недооцениваешь меня, самозванец. Очень зря, — произнёс Шэдоу, в его тоне послышалась угроза, от которой шёл мороз по коже.

— Вообще-то, это вовсе не недооценка, самозванец! Я многое о тебе знаю и представляю, на что ты способен, как противник!

— Не говори так, будто ты всё обо мне знаешь! — прокричал в гневе красноглазый ёж зеленоглазому, что аж на шкуре показались красные молнии.

Но затем он, глубоко вздохнув, успокоился и продолжил разговор:

— Ты уверяешь меня, что знаешь обо мне. Но уверен ли так в этом?

— Да. Тебя создали на колонии АРК 50 лет назад, затем пришли солдаты, которые убили здесь многих учёных, а эксперименты забрали себе и спрятали в своей сверхсекретной базе, в том числе и тебя в капсуле.

— Это лишь часть всей моей истории, которую ты узнал, синий ежонок. Позволь мне рассказать её, если так она тебя заинтересовала, — сказал чёрный ёж, при этом медленно расхаживая вокруг синего. Тот, наблюдая за своим противником, продолжал стоять в своей стойке, чтобы не быть застигнутым врасплох. — Да, моя история начинается с того момента, как меня создали. И произошло это даже чуть более 50 лет назад. Моего создателя звали Джеральд Роботник. Он был великим учёным, который стремился помогать людям. Но при этом он создавал различных существ, которые могли помочь ему в интересах науки. И среди них был я. Может, цели и были благородные у создателя, но все эти эксперименты я бы мягко назвал не очень приятным процессом. Однако помимо учёных и подопытных я встретил свой лучик надежды в этой проклятой тьме. Её звали Мария. Она была внучкой Джеральда. Мария похоже была единственной, кто действительно беспокоился и заботился обо мне, чем эти учёные. Она была моим единственным другом на колонии. — рассказывал Шэдоу и подошел к иллюминатору, положив на него правую ладонь. — Но её забрали у меня. Это произошло 50 лет назад, когда эти проклятые солдаты вторглись сюда! Тогда я взял свою подругу на руки, чтобы спасти её от надвигающейся опасности. Однако мне не удалось это сделать. Она толкнула меня в капсулу с улыбкой на лице и собралась нажать на рычаг, дабы только я сбежал с колонии. А потом в комнату вбежал один из этих гадких солдат и пристрелил Марию, когда она всё же успела нажать на рычаг. В тот момент, когда я увидел её окровавленное тело, её милое и доброе лицо, её прощальные улыбку и слёзы, я поклялся отомстить за неё. Поклялся уничтожить всё это человечество! — прокричал чёрный с красным ёж, искрясь молниями, и ударил кулаком по прочному стеклу.

— Я понимаю твою боль, Шэдоу, — внезапно произнёс Соник, и Шэдоу посмотрел на него, перестав искриться.

— Понимаешь? Меня никто не сможет понять.

— Но я правда знаю, каково это потерять того, кто был тебе дорог… Когда я был совсем маленьким, меня опекала сова по имени Длинный коготь. Она была для меня как мать. Но потом я случайно привёл в наш дом племя ехидн. Длинный коготь спасла меня, но сама пала от их рук. Долгое время я был один, а потом я встретил Тома, Мэдди, затем — Тейлза и Наклза. Они стали моей новой семьёй.

— Как они могут быть твоей семьёй? Они даже тебе не родня! У тебя с ними нет общей крови! И ты всё же называешь их семьёй? Особенно ту ехидну, собратья которой убили твою приёмную мать?

— Семья не обязательно может быть по крови. Главное, чтобы члены семьи любили друг друга и были готовы постоять друг за друга, — попытался объяснить Соник. Шэдоу лишь недоверчиво взглянул на него.

— К тому же Наклз не виноват в этом. И мы с ним отпустили тяжёлое прошлое, чтобы можно было жить настоящим. И тебе советую поступить также. Ты ещё можешь всё исправить, Шэдоу. Пойдём со мной, и я обещаю, что ты не пожалеешь об этом, — продолжил синий, а затем протянул руку. Но чёрный лишь хмыкнул, а после обратился к собрату:

— Знаешь, я тоже хотел тебе кое-что предложить…

— И что же? — спросил его Соник.

— Понимаешь, я очень давно хотел встретиться с тобой. Та наша первая встреча была отнюдь не случайностью. Я искал тебя с момента своего освобождения из капсулы.

— Хотел встретиться? Искал меня? Для чего? Ты хотел убить меня? — не понимал синий ёж.

— О, нет. Нет. Твоё убийство не входит в мои планы. Пока что. Дело в том, что мы с тобой одной крови, или, если проще сказать, являемся братьями.

— Чтоооо?! — крикнул Соник в шоке.

— Да, мы с тобой своего рода братья, семья.

— Но как? Я же ведь родился на Мобиусе!

— Тебе просто стёрли воспоминания о колонии и отправили на другую планету. Разве это не объясняет, почему ты вообще не помнишь своих родителей? Своих настоящих, кровных?

— Но если мы с тобой братья, то тогда мы не должны между собой драться. Я могу помочь тебе. Помогу справиться с горем, хоть это и не будет легко…

— Мне не нужна в этом помощь, маленький ёжик. Я скорее хотел предложить тебе объединиться со мной…

— Объединиться? Для чего?

— Чтобы уничтожить этих ненавистных и жалких людишек! — прорычал Шэдоу, сжав левый кулак, а его глаза в то же мгновение стали ярко-красными.

— Но ты же сам работаешь с одним человеком… Почему ты тогда работаешь на Роботника, если так ненавидишь людей?

Шэдоу на его вопрос зловеще рассмеялся, Соник же недоуменно посмотрел на него.

— Ха-ха-ха-ха! Неужели… Неужели ты думал, что я, Совершенная Форма Жизни, работаю на этого самонадеянного, самовлюблённого и высокомерного человечишку? Он сам, того не зная, работает на меня! — ответил СФЖ, а дальше продолжил, почти прошипев. — Этим учёным нельзя доверять. Они только и делали, что проводили надо мной различные тесты, словно играли с беззащитной зверушкой. Я их всех возненавидел. Если бы не Мария, то я бы их всех уничтожил.

— Но зачем ты хочешь, чтобы я присоединился к тебе? Ведь ты и сам знаешь, что я против убийства множества людей.

— Когда я тебя встретил, то заметил в тебе большой потенциал. Ты очень быстр, ловок, силён и владеешь самой силой хаоса. Вместе, мы бы стали непобедимы. К тому же, разве солдаты не охотятся за тобой? Уверен, они ни перед чем не остановятся, чтобы поймать тебя и убить, впрочем как и твою странную семейку… Разве тебе бы не хотелось им отомстить? Чтобы они больше никогда тебя не трогали, не угрожали тебе? Присоединяйся ко мне, и мы уничтожим их и других, кто лишил нас близких нам людей, заставим их заплатить за это, — и с этими словами Шэдоу протянул руку, как ранее это сделал Соник. Сам синий ёж же задумался.

Это действительно звучало по-своему хорошо. Если он согласится на предложение, то ему больше не придётся иметь дело с гановцами, и тогда он будет жить спокойно со своей семьёй и своим братом. Соник давно хотел узнать о своей семье. Настоящей, кровной семье. Узнать своё происхождение.

Чувствовать себя своим. Его мысли внезапно отвлёк Шэдоу:

— Соглашайся, брат, и мы станем одной семьёй. Разве мы оба не хотели иметь семью?

Брат. Кровный, родной брат. Так хорошо иметь похожего на тебя. Однако понимает ли Шэдоу смысл слова «семья», помимо того, что она одной крови? Разве станет Соник счастлив с тем, кто сосредоточен на мести? К тому же, черный ёж, если так ненавидит людей, то может убить и Тома с Мэдди. Тех, кто приютил и принял синего ежа в свою семью. А Тейлз и Наклз? Они хоть не одной крови, но они также его любят, как если бы были родными братьями.

Соник, размышляя все варианты, наконец таки решился…

Сначала он потянулся, чтобы подать руку, но затем отдёрнул её. Его сородич озадаченно взглянул на него.

— Я не могу, — ответил Соник.

— Почему же? — спокойно спросил его Шэдоу.

— Если ты используешь Роботника в своих целях, то почему вдруг не захочешь использовать меня?

— Ну, доктор является всего лишь пешкой в моей игре, а вот ты играешь гораздо большую роль, чем какая-то пешка. Ты почти такой же, как и я. Создан учёными, брошен, оставлен без дорогого существа.

— Но у нас есть так же и различия! У меня есть те, за кого я могу сражаться, в то время как ты одинок, обиженный на весь мир! — добавил Соник, и от таких слов Шэдоу оскалился и зарычал.

— Шэдоу, пожалуйста, ещё не поздно сойти с тропы войны и мести. Ты ещё сможешь найти своё счастье. Ведь если ты будешь держать в себе ненависть, злость, гнев и обиду, то никогда не выберешься в свет.

— Мне нравится этот путь! И я не отступлюсь! Лучше ответь мне: «Ты со мной или нет?».

— Нет! Хоть ты мне и брат по крови, но моя настоящая семья — это члены семьи Ваковски! И если ты посмеешь хоть кого-то из них тронуть, то БУДЕШЬ… ИМЕТЬ…ДЕЛО… СО МНОЙ!!! — прокричал Соник. Его глаза из зелёных стали голубыми, а сам начал искриться голубыми молниями.

— Будь по твоему. Ты сам выбрал свою погибель, — прошипел Шэдоу, тоже покрываясь молниями. Своими глазами, ставшими из алых в ярко-красные, он злобно посмотрел на своего брата.

А затем два ежа кинулись друг на друга, и между ними началась битва…

Buttons

Warning: there is blood and horror in this fanfiction! It is recommended to read the story from the age of +12!

I was inspired to write fan fiction by the cartoon "Coraline".

As soon as Tails woke up, he felt as if there was a fog in his head. She seemed so heavy that I wanted to put her back on the pillow, close my eyes and sleep for a couple more hours. My vision was slightly blurred.

But still, the golden two-tailed fox cub got up and got off the bed, because he must have slept for a very long time.

Yes, that's the way it is. Outside the window, the sun was already at its zenith. Tails had been asleep for quite some time. Although he usually got up much earlier. Why didn't the alarm clock wake him up? Is it broken?

The fox looked at the bedside table that always stood next to the bed.

Weird… There was no alarm clock… Maybe Sonic took it away to let him sleep it off?

Here the fox cub winced a little, as he remembered a recent quarrel with his best friend and older brother, Sonic the blue hedgehog.

— Tails, how much can I do?! When will you stop sitting and working at night? It's bad for your body! — the hedgehog shouted at him then.

— But, Sonic, with this new Tornado generator, it will be able to fly even faster! I just have to finish working on it!

— Tails, do you see what time it is? You should have been sleeping in your bed and watching the seventh dream by now!

— Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do! I decide for myself what is better for me! Tails shouted back at him.

— Tails, I'm your friend and brother, I'm worried about you! You're still too young, and you need to think about your health!

— I'd rather take care of my own! And stop patronizing me so much! I'm not small anymore! — the fox cub shouted, but still went to his room. — And you're nobody to control me!

Now, Tails felt slightly guilty that he had behaved this way towards his best friend, because he really just cared about him and worried about him.

— Taaaaaaaiiils! — soon he heard a familiar voice. — Are you awake? I've made you something to eat.

—Yes, I'm on my way, — Tails replied, and left his room and headed for the stairs. "Hmm... it seems to me, or has the house... changed?.." he suddenly thought, looking at the walls. — "I don't remember me and Sonic painting the walls again… At least the other day..." — and when he went downstairs, he saw various awards and certificates dedicated to him, which involuntarily confused the boy. After all, he remembered for sure that on the wall in the corridor, as well as in the glass cabinet on the ground floor, there were no awards and thanks from him. "Where did all this come from? Or am I still asleep?" he mused as he walked towards the kitchen. A pleasant aroma soon wafted out, and Tails recognized the smell of fried eggs and bacon, which made him smile. But after a moment, he was slightly surprised. - "How strange… Sonic doesn't usually cook breakfast for me, that's what I do... and there were always chilidogs for my breakfast..." Then he noticed that flicky's bird had flown up to the window. It would seem that such a thing? Yes, but looking closer, Tails noticed that instead of the usual eyes, the bird had black buttons, which are usually made for plush toys. But how is this possible? And Flicki, it seems, got tired of sitting by the window and looking at the fox cub, and she fluttered away. Tails shook his head. "It seemed, probably… After all, there is no such thing..." — but his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the hedgehog:

— Taaaaaaaiils! Your breakfast will get cold soon! Sonic hurried him on.

— I'm coming! — and the little fox went into the kitchen. There was a plate of fried eggs and bacon on the table. Meanwhile, Sonic was frying his portion.

— Hello, my friend! How did you sleep? How are you feeling? — The hedgehog asked cheerfully and cheerfully.

— Hi, Sonic. I... I seemed to sleep well ... the mood ... is also quite good ... — the little fox answered a little uncertainly. He still felt guilty about his brother. — And how are you?

— Just fine, bro! I am sure that today will bring us a lot of joy and fun! — said Sonic. Tails nodded in agreement. Although it was a little strange to hear the last phrase of the hedgehog. Sonic, of course, is optimistic, but to say so…

Looking at his breakfast, Tails swallowed his saliva, it smelled so delicious. But his heart felt so heavy, as if there was a stone inside him. He should have apologized for his harsh and rude words to his brother.

— Sonic?.. Are you... not mad at me?..

"What are you talking about, Tails?" Sonic asked.

— Well... I was rude to you last night... and... you just can't imagine how ashamed I am…

—Oh, come on, Tails! I'm not offended! Whatever it is, I've already forgiven you!

— Really? Just like that? Tails asked incredulously.

— I've... said so many nasty things to you! But you were right that I shouldn't sit and work late, and I…

— What are you talking about, Tails! If you want to work on your inventions, then work for your health! Who am I to limit a genius inventor like you!

— Well ... I wouldn't call myself such a genius ... — the boy was embarrassed. — I just love inventing and working with mechanisms and machines…

— And you're doing it great, bro! You have an incredible mind and a wonderful talent! I'm lucky to have such a wonderful little brother!

— But… Sonic, you said yourself that for my..." he did not have time to finish, as he saw the same strange flicky with buttons instead of eyes again.

"What did I say, Tails?" Sonic asked, still standing with his back to me. And a small smoke came from the fried in the pan. It seems that the hedgehog somehow overdid his breakfast... or lunch, since it was already noon?

— Sonic, do you know what's wrong with flicky?

— Flicky? What kind of flicky?

— Well, he seems to have instead of ... — the fox cub glanced at the window where the bird had been recently, but now it was not there. — It doesn't matter. Haven't you already made yourself something to eat? Because... your scrambled eggs are burnt, I think…

— Oh, because I'm wondering where the smoke came from. Hehe. How forgetful I am," Sonic finally turned to his friend and put his portion on the table, opposite the fox cub. "Why don't you have breakfast yourself?" Come on, your food is getting cold, right?

— I don't think so.… I just wanted to talk first, and then start eating..." Tails looked down.

"Anyway, there's plenty of time, kid. I'm ready to listen to you all day," Sonic smiled at him.

"All day?" The boy frowned. — What about your run? Saving the world from... you-know-who?.. — He looked at the hedgehog and opened his mouth in fright.

"What is it, Tails?" Have I grown horns or a nose? Heh-heh-heh," he chuckled.

—Who are you...?". That's all Tails said.

— Who am I? — the hedgehog was surprised. — I'm Sonic. Your best friend and also your older brother. Or have you already forgotten that? Hehe.

— No, it's not… You're not Sonic..." Tails frowned, getting up from the table.

— Sonic doesn't have... — here his voice trembled, while the boy looked directly at the "Sonic", — bu ... bu…

— Buttons? — the hedgehog finished and smiled sweetly, poking his index finger right in his eyes. The pupils were green buttons located in the white whites of the eyes, but they also moved as if they were completely ordinary pupils in the eyes. Tails nodded and swallowed in fright, looking at his friend's doppelganger.

— Where's Sonic?.. Where is my brother?..

—Tails, Tails, Tails... — said Sonic, shaking his head. — I am Sonic. Your best friend. Your older brother.

— No, you're not him! Tails cried out. — The real Sonic doesn't have buttons in his eyes like you do! Answer me immediately, where did you put it? What did you do to him?

— Oh, Tails... — now the hedgehog got up from the table. — Don't you know that I am Sonic, only much better than the one you knew before? Didn't you want a perfect brother who would always understand and support you? That I would do anything for you?

— My Sonic may not be perfect, but he's still better than you, impostor! He also supports me in everything, tries to understand me and is also ready for anything! He just knows that sometimes boundaries and restrictions are needed somewhere! Even... if I don't like it, but it's the right thing to do! — He replied firmly. — So tell me where I am and bring me home?

— Tails, you're home so... — the hedgehog grinned. — But... still, you probably figured me out.… You are in Another world, but in a better and more perfect one than your real world. Here you will not need to worry about the forces of evil, because it does not exist in this world. Everyone lives in peace and harmony. Everyone is happy here. And all your various desires are being fulfilled. And isn't that wonderful, in your opinion?

— And if I want to go to my real world? Will this wish come true?

— And why fulfill this wish, kiddo? Your home world is too boring. Your "real" brother doesn't always listen to you, ignores you. There's always one villain or another trying to enslave the world… So stay here, little brother. I am sure that over time you will love this wonderful world.

— But what about Sonic? He's probably worried about me... And who, if not me, will help him? — Tails himself began to back away a little.

— Didn't he replace you with other people? Did you take someone else as a partner, even someone you don't know?

Tails involuntarily remembered that this really happened more than once, when others helped Sonic instead of a fox cub. Another Sonic, noticing the doubts in the boy's eyes, continued to press on this topic:

— And I will always need you. I will never leave you. All you have to do is agree to stay here, and this world will truly be your home.

— No, I don't agree! Tails snapped, glowering at the blue hedgehog with button eyes.

— What? — he was shocked.

— What did you hear! I remember that Sonic did this sometimes, but he didn't mean me any harm at all and didn't really want to offend me! He confessed to me that he was afraid for me when I almost died in one of the battles! But now I've become his partner again, and he'll never leave me in the shadows again, just know that!

The other Sonic, apparently, was beginning to lose patience, which already somehow restrained his anger:

— But you still deserve more, Tails! He doesn't appreciate you! Besides, here you will be a recognized and world-famous genius and scientist! Haven't you dreamed about this? Were you famous and popular in your world? — Tails remembered the certificates and awards he had seen. — Yes, and you like to invent! And your Sonic underestimated your potential and limited your capabilities! But that's not going to happen to me! Just agree, and you'll be the happiest child, I swear! — He insisted.

— My answer is the same! No! I want to go back to my real world! — The fox cub shouted. — Tell me where I can find a way out! Right now!

At first, the hedgehog just looked at him gloomily, keeping silent. And Tails felt a little uneasy.

— Oh... it looks like our little foxy wants to play, right? — Another Sonic hissed. His azure fur became darker, his needles longer and sharper, and his pupils turned from green to red. Tails trembled in fear. — Well... let's play my favorite game?.. — His mouth broke into a creepy, wide smile.

— In... what... is it?.. Two—tailed dared to ask.

— HIDE AND SEEK!!! — Another Sonic announced. — And the game starts right…

Tails took off on his tails and hurried out into the street.

— NOW!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!

Once outside, Tails saw how the once-blue sky turned scarlet, and the surroundings around him lost their bright colors. "Where is the exit? How do I get out of this nightmare?" he thought, not stopping working with his tails, and frantically looked around, trying to find something like a door or portal.

— Oh, yes ... I forgot to name some conditions ... — came the hissing voice of Another Sonic. But the fox cub could not understand where he was talking from, turning his head from side to side. — To make the game more interesting, you need to find a small cave in one forest. You will immediately understand what kind of cave it is, you will not confuse it with anything. But at the same time, you will have to try not to get caught by my assistants. If you go into that cave, you've won, and I'll let you go. And if not, and my assistants, or I will catch you myself, then you will stay with me... FOREVER AND EVER!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! — Another Sonic burst out laughing ominously. — Good luck, kid… You'll need it... AHAHAHAHA!!!

— The forest? What kind of forest? — Tails asked aloud, but they didn't give him time to think properly, when suddenly something attacked him with a loud cry. The fox cub somehow dodged the attacker, and then saw flicks, but only of a larger size and intimidating appearance, as a result of which the creature looked like a hybrid of a bird and a lizard. But what has remained unchanged is the buttons instead of the eyes. The creature screamed and launched another attack. The fox cub rushed forward, trying to get rid of its pursuer. But then, as luck would have it, other scary flicks appeared, gradually approaching him.

When the monsters were already very close, Tails dived down, thereby escaping from the feathered creatures, which collided with each other, forming one tangle, from where screams came and feathers began to fall out. Apparently, they decided to fight with each other. Well, this was in the boy's favor, and he hurried to fly away from them while they were busy. "These birds couldn't just attack me...", Tails reflected. "Most likely, they attacked so that I would not fly to where they came from... which means..." and it dawned on him. "So I was flying in the right direction! There's a way out!"

But then the cry came from behind him again.

"Oh, no! Those chickens again! We must hurry!" thought the little fox, speeding up. One by one, the winged monsters attacked the flying fox. Tails barely managed to dodge them and evade their attacks. But suddenly one of the birds scratched his hand with its claws. The boy cried out in pain. Taking advantage of his confusion, another bird grabbed him by the shoulders.

— Let me go! Let me go! Let me go, you brainless chicken! — Tails screamed, trying to escape from the claws, but they only tightened, blood ran from the wounds in drops. — THAT'S IT! YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY! — Shouting, Tails twisted around and bit the monster on one of its paws, and it let out a heart—rending scream, after which it let go. The fox cub may have been free, but then another scary bird attacked him, he was knocked down, and Tails fell down. On the way, he bumped into something, he was scratched all over, until finally he fell to the soft ground.

— Find the boy...— Tails heard after a while, coming to his senses. His body ached and his wounds burned with fire. But he remembered that he couldn't give up if he wanted to go home. — Don't let him get away… And bring him to me... alive…

"Does he need me alive? But why?" — and it was spinning in the head of the young inventor. "Other than that, it's not that important.… I have to find a way out now..." he looked around. There were black, creepy, bare trees all around him. "And it seems that the exit is somewhere nearby..." he thought. The fox somehow got up, and then jumped up and took off. However, he could not fly at such a high altitude as he would like.

"Well, at least I'm flying, that's something," he decided and flew wherever he looked.

But suddenly he felt as if something had grabbed his ankle. It turned out to be tree branches. Tails tried to jerk and pull away from the grip, but his foot was firmly stuck in the branches. And then the tree began to pull on itself. Gritting his teeth, Tails darted forward, but it didn't help, and he continued to be pulled back. Then the fox cub grabbed the nearest branch of a nearby tree. It seemed that by picking up a twig, Tails gave a signal to the second tree, and it began to pull its twig arms towards him. And then the returning birds were right there and swooping down on him.

The two-tailed fox cub pulled out a twig with all his might, which he grabbed, and then began to beat the branch holding his leg with it. And who would have thought, but with his weapon, like an axe, he cut the branch into pieces. Immediately, howls could be heard, and they seemed to come from the trees themselves.

But Tails had no time to think, he just continued on his way, occasionally dodging attacking birds and trees.

But these opponents were not enough for him, so even from the ground he was attacked by monsters that, apparently, used to look more like ricky, tiny cute chipmunks and squirrels, and now resembled scary versions of lizard animals. One of these monsters pushed him, and Tails once again made an unplanned landing. While he was lying down, the monster ricky tried to grab him. But the fox cub got up and dodged him, and then swung his tails and beat off the enemy, so that he ran into sharp branches of trees that pierced through his flesh. Looking at the corpse of the monster, from whose wounds muddy green blood was flowing, Tails hurriedly turned away, because he almost vomited from such a sight.

But he could not relax, because they did not give him a proper rest, and he was attacked from different sides by both birds and animals. And the boy had to fight them off in every possible way.

It's good that he's trained in battles with Eggman, and these skills came in handy for him.

Some creatures were pierced by tree branches, either through the whole body or through the head, others just lay in a pile, and others were wounded by a fox cub stick.

But there were still too many enemies. And no matter how hard Tails tried, he was wasting his time. And this was further confirmed by the fact that the moon began to cover the sun.

Wait, the moon? No! It looked like the shadow of a huge dark button!

So there was a game for a while after all.

Somehow repelling the attacks of his pursuers, Tails hurried to get out of the clearing while it was still possible.

Soon, he noticed some kind of glow, and he rushed there.

"It looks like this is the way out!" — Tails was delighted when he noticed a hill, under which a certain cave was located. - "There's just a little bit left!" - he exerted his last strength to get out of this whole nightmare as soon as possible.

— Are you going far, little foxy? — Someone, or rather, it was Another Sonic himself, hit him, and the boy flew off to the side, tumbling a couple of times already on the grass. — What a fool little foxy you are ... — the hedgehog addressed him in a hissing voice. — But I wanted the best for you.…

Tails got down on all fours and looked ahead. The entrance to the cave emitted a golden-white light. It was a portal leading home. A way out of this madness and horror.

Then he was kicked, and he rolled a little further away from the entrance to the cave. The boy, looking at the demon, which is exactly what Tails thought this creature was, wiped the blood under his nose and stood up again.

— Why do you need me? What do you want from me? — He dared to ask the demon, who laughed terribly.

— Didn't you understand? I need you.… Because I'm... so lonely.… And I just need company... — The other Sonic broke into a terrible smile, showing sharp triangular teeth. His fur became even darker, almost black, and the needles became terribly prickly and sharp. So there were also sharp claws on the monster's hands.

— I... don't believe you...— Tails replied. — After all... you have pets.… So why do you need me, from another world?

— Heh. Yes, I have toys in my world that I created myself, — the demon chuckled. — But you know... these little animals are my creations, nothing more… With them... I'm free to do whatever my heart desires.… And it's boring with them… Therefore, we need someone alive, even if he is from another world... — the monster grabbed the fox cub by the neck. The boy tried to escape, grabbed the demon's arm with his hands, kicked his legs, swept his tails, but this did not give him any result. — And, you know, I was ready to do a lot for you, little foxy. I could have given you so many miracles, I would have become the best brother in the world. And you just had to agree... is it that hard? Say yes now, and you will receive a great reward from me…

— No... way... — said Tails. — You're... just... playing... with me... And how... tired... will you... kill... me…

— Come on, kid... — the demon drawled sweetly. — I'm not playing with you at all, and I wasn't going to kill you. Honestly, I just wanted to give you the best and most perfect life.

— I don't... believe it… Will you... sooner... or... later... kill... me…

The demon frowned. He started getting angry again.

— Okay. If you really want to know the whole truth and you can't be fooled in anyway... — he hissed. — I'll really kill you later, because I need your life.… I need someone who has a beating heart, in whose veins flows warm sweet blood, and who has such a bright and innocent soul inside. I feed on the life of these little and lost souls... — but then he suddenly sighed a little sadly. — But to be honest, I would like it to be in a different way, at least once it happened... — there was a flash in his free hand at first, Tails squeezed his eyes shut, thinking that he was going to be killed with it. But after a moment, the boy hesitantly opened one eye. He was alive. For now. But then he saw in the demon's hand... blue shiny buttons!

— Everything could have been much better and simpler, my little Tails ... — hissed the hedgehog. — But, alas, you left me no other choice... Yes, I must admit, you amused me with your audacity and boldness, even if I was counting on a longer game ... Hee-hee-hee…

"Does he want to sew buttons on me instead of eyes?!" — Tails was horrified and feverishly began to look for something with which to escape from the monster. And then he saw a branch below, which he broke and used as a weapon against the army of monsters. He took that stick with one of his tails, and then swung it sharply at the demon.

— GET IT, DEMON!!! — shouted Tails, stabbing a branch into the monster's right eye. Greenish blood sprayed, and the demon screamed shrilly. He released the fox cub from his grip, clutching his face. Tails hurried to the cave without hesitation. He was so exhausted from all this chasing and fighting, but still he tried to hold on until the very end. He took off several times, and then fell, after which he soared into the air again, but still little by little he approached the cave and this alluring light. "A little more! Just a little more!" flashed through his mind. And when the boy was just a little bit, just a couple of centimeters away from the exit, he was grabbed by the ends of his tails.

— You're not going anywhere!!! You can't run away!!! You belong to me!!! — There was a hiss nearby.

Tails didn't turn around and just threw sand and dust in the enemy's face, and then made a dash forward towards the light.

— No, waaaaiiit!!! You're miiiiiiiine!!!

A clawed hand stretched out behind him, but there was light ahead of Tails, and he squeezed his eyes shut, waiting to finally return to his home world.

***

Tails let out a loud cry of horror. His golden fur was soaked in sticky sweat. He looked around. He was in his workshop. He managed to return home. Or was it all just a terrible nightmare? The fox cub would really like to hope for the second option…

— TAILS, WHAT HAPPENED?! — Sonic came running to him. The real Sonic. No button eyes.

— Sonic ... — the boy was incredibly happy to see his friend and brother, and therefore threw himself on his neck and burst into tears.

— Tails, what are you doing? — the hedgehog asked perplexedly. — Did you have a nightmare?

— Yes... it is… It was so scary.… I just can't describe it... — he cried, clinging to a friend with a trembling ball of golden fur.

— Easy, easy... everything is fine ... — Sonic patted him soothingly on the back, looking tenderly at his younger brother. — I'm with you, everything's fine…

Tails began to calm down a little.

— I'm sorry.… I'm sorry for the terrible things I said to you.… I'm sorry... — the little fox apologized.

— It's okay, Tails.… I've already forgiven you, don't worry... — said Sonic calmly. — Do you see? I told you that you shouldn't have stayed up late in the workshop, — the older brother reminded at the same time.

— Yes, I see it now. You were right, — Tails sobbed. — I'm sorry.

— Nothing. Come on, I'll just carry you to your soft and comfortable bed, okay?

— Uh—huh, — the fox cub mumbled in agreement, after which Sonic, holding his younger brother in his arms, headed to the bedroom of the young inventor. On the way, Tails looked around. Yes, everything looks exactly like a real house. The paint was worn off on the walls, and there were no awards or certificates, or anything else unusual. So, he really managed to return home or completely wake up from a terrible dream.

— And now, — said Sonic, putting the fox cub to bed, — go to bed. You can sleep well, you won't have any more nightmares. If anything, I'll be there to protect you.

— Thank you, Sonic. I love you, big brother, — Tails said, then yawned.

— I love you too, my little brother,— said the hedgehog. — Good dreams and good night.

— Good night, — and then the fox cub, closing his eyes, plunged into the land of dreams.

***

— Go to sleep, my little foxy… Sleep sweetly and soundly... — the hedgehog whispered to himself. Buttons appeared in his ordinary eyes instead of emerald-green pupils, and prickly himself grinned insidiously. — I told you that you would be mine ... Heh-heh-heh ... — here Another Sonic picked up a plush toy that looked like a blue green-eyed hedgehog. — And now... no ONE can save you… Even your older brother Sonic, who is now also in my hands... Ha ha ha ha... — the demon laughed ominously, and then pressed on the toy with his claws, from which scarlet blood flowed in rivulets. And there was a full white moon outside the window, which was soon covered by the shadow of a giant dark button.

THE END?..
