Wednesdays Are Becoming My Favorite Days Cause We Get Amazing Content About The Bros And Damn I Love

Tails wasn't even part of the resistance when Sonic showed up, which means Tails is eventually gonna get that found family, except the first person who's ever shown him kindness won't be a part of that when he has to go

They got me

I’m gonna say it... THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

Having thoughts about Nine. 

I dont think they're taking the show this way but im having Sonic and Nine feelings so headcanon rambling fic thing idk i just have A LOT OF FEELINGS OK!

Sonic loves tails. I know in the show they're 'best friends' but we all know they're brothers, ok? Ok good. 

We know that no matter the version, the dimension Sonic will do anything for Tails and with the way they're setting up Nines character arc of a loner who discovers friendship has got me thinking about how sonic is going to leave the dystopian universe and start his journey to the others. 

Because i can see a universe where he's reluctant to go

The portal rages before Sonic. Throwing blue, red and white light around them all as it fights the very fabric of reality. This will be his first step to fixing this whole paradox mess. To fix his mistake. 

Right at the edge of the portal he stops. Only to turn around and march right back to Nine 

"Come with me" he says holding out his hand, determination burning so strong in his voice it's nearly a real physical warmth. 

"I'll fix this whole paradox mess and you'll either get your memories back or I'll have two little buddys, it's win-win right?" 

Nines eyes well with surprise, glossing over before a subdued look of fondness takes over his face. 

 "That's not how this works Sonic"

"Why not?" It's a demand as he unconsciously draws closer to the kid. His kid, his little brother no matter the universe. 

"I'm here aren't I? If it's about the energy thing, you built these devices for my gloves and shoes to fix that. You could do it again for yourself!" 

There's silence in the room. Even with the portal raging mere feet away the world narrows to just the two of them 

Slowly, Hesitantly Nines hand wraps around sonics. Lifting his head with a soft eyes 

Sonic expression brightens. His ears perk with happiness and eyes light up with excitement as he looks at Nine. And Nine smiles back.

He looks happy. He looks like Tails.

Suddenly Nine lunges forward into a hug.  Sending them both back a few steps as sonic fumbles quickly to steady them and wrap his arms around the little fox in return 

"Thank you Sonic" 

Chuckling softly, Sonic ducks his face into the top of Nines fluffy head. Cradling him tightly in his arms. 

"Nah kid don't thank me. I'm just sorry you were alone for so long. But not anymore Alright? Not while i'm around" 

He can feel Nines back tremble softly as the fur on his chest becomes damp. Cueing Him to squeeze the kid a little harder before pulling back, Just enough to see Nines face 

"So, what do you say little buddy?" 

Nine turns his face up to meet Sonics. Fur wet with tears but eyes filled with a determination all his own and a smile as real as any his Tails had given him before. 

And he shoves Sonic as hard as he can 

for a moment the world stops.

"NINE!" wrenches itself out of Sonic's throat as he falls.

"Find me again" is choked out. Echoing  throughout the swirling vortex after him. Nines silhouette slowly smudging away

"Find your Tails and love him for me ok?" 

Because if there's one thing about Tails I think would be consistent throughout every universe is that given the chance he'll always love Sonic back. And he'll want to protect him. 

Even if that means having to give him up. If he has to send him away to protect him from himself, Tails will do it. Even if it might kill him.

Here's Nine alone, abandoned, Abused. So convinced of the world's evil he's decided it's not even worth it to try. It's safer never to try. And he's right to an extent.

And it occurs to Nine that this is too good to be true. Because sonic has to go and he can't follow.

Because here's everything he's told himself he didn't need!, Someone who says he knows him!, Who loves him unconditionally!, one person in the whole world who loves him despite his self imagined flaws! 

From the first moment they met it was an adventure! A wild ride one dangerous turn after another and there are more people now! The rebels with knuckles and Rouge. 

Rusty (because there's no way Sonic wont win her over too) The world is so much bigger and brighter now and it's because of Sonic! 

The instinct to save him even after he'd attacked the hedgehog. The heartbreak in his eyes when he didn't know who he was. And it's the overwhelming love in everything Sonic does from the bickering to simply trying to make Nine smile that really solidifies it for him. 

This dorky weirdo who broke into his workshop and got them kidnapped. Who gushes about his inventions and tries to cheer him up with hair-brained ideas.  bickering and laughing with him without a second thought. He Loves Nine….. 

He loves Tails…..  

There's a version of himself out there who grew up with this person so full of love. He'll be needing him back. 

And Nine can't go with him. 

AAAAAAAAAAH

Summary:

A series of Sonic Unleashed vignettes with my own spin on the story. Each chapter is a different location in Sonic Unleashed. Focused mostly on the bond between Sonic and Tails, and also Chip. He gets to be here, too, as a treat.

Chapter 6 - Cool Edge (Holoska)

"Yo, Tails! You copy?"

Tails glanced down at his communicator, Sonic's voice filtering through the open link while he connected a wire to a device he was working on. "I copy. What's up?"

"My chocolate bar is frozen solid!" Chip's voice interrupted.

"Technically the chocolate was already in a solid state before freezing. A more appropriate idiom would be ‘it's hard as a rock,'" Tails offered with a sympathetic smile, even if Chip couldn't see it. 

"You can say that again! Even Sonic couldn't break a piece off of it!"

Tails couldn't help laughing as he pictured his brother fighting with a bar of chocolate to the point of considering spindashing it. "Well, good news is there's more chocolate here for when you get back."

"Make sure it doesn't freeze, too, okay?"

"I'll do my best." Tails shook his head in amusement, taking a pair of tweezers to realign the wires so they didn't get tangled.

"Okay, Chip, that's enough chocolate talk," Sonic snorted before he resumed control over the call. "How're things holding up on your end?"

"Good. The cold temperature is actually ideal for overclocking the Miles Electric's CPU now that I've upgraded it from a quad-core processor to an octa-core."

"Right… so guessing ‘overclocking' is like working through the lunch hour, or…?"

Tails laughed. "Kinda. It means pushing the CPU to work at a higher frequency so it can execute more operations per second and increase overall performance. The downside to it is that you risk overheating the hardware if there isn't proper ventilation in the chassis. Think of it like when you go super. Increased speed and strength, but you'll burn out fast if you don't pay attention to conserving your energy output."

"Makes sense to me!"

"Thought that might help put it in perspective. Overall, I'd say I'm making good progress!" Though Sonic couldn't see him, Tails still pumped one fist in the air for that added "oomph" factor.

"Glad to hear it, bud! At least one of us is."

Tails blinked and slowly lowered his arm, the disappointment in his voice palpable. "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Just gonna have to do another sweep of the area." His voice sounded tired as it crackled over the distance, the slight gravel in it reminding Tails a little of the werehog's growl. "Didn't find a single medal on my last pass. I swear, it doesn't take nearly as long to find ‘em at night."

"Because you're not running past them at the speed of sound," Tails pointed out. "Try taking it a bit slower."

"I don't have to take it slower. Speed's not the problem, keed," Sonic huffed, like Tails had asked him to cut off a limb. "They're just sneaky, that's all."
