*Authors note* This chapter will have a little bit of grossness. SO, if you don't like grossness, you might want to stop reading until the next chapter. Understood? Good! Now, enjoy the ride.

Sonic's POV

"Uggg." 

Oh my goodness I hurt so much! 

"JAMES?" 

Was that Tails? He sounded so far away. 

"JAMES!" 

MANIC! He does care! 

"JAMES!!" I heard my cover name being called again by all of the band members and Tails. I then realized that I hadn't opened my eyes. I Slowly cracked them open ignoring the pain that that simple movement cased, and saw Tails a few feet away, facing away from me. 

"T-Tails?" I say forcing the words out. 

"Tails! I-I'm over here, bro." I croak. My voice is weak and shaky. Tails turns around and spots me. I try to get up to hug him but I'm trapped by something heavy and all the pain coursing through my body. 

"Sonic? You're alive? GUYS!!! I FOUND HIM!!!"Tails shouts. Everyone comes running over. I can tell by the thunderous sound of 31 pairs of feet running across the stage. 

As everyone gathers in a circle around me, I tell Tails, "Eggman...he figured us out. He left Knothole and c-came to Mobotropolis." 

I can feel myself slipping into unconscious with Tails saying, "I know, Sonic." and then a collective gasp from the band, as the last thing I heard before giving in to the darkness.

Tails' POV

I heard Sonic say, "Eggman...he figured us out. He left Knothole and c-came to Mobotropolis." On the last word, Sonic's eyes start to close and I can tell he's struggling to stay concision.

At that moment I knew it would be useless to use Sonic's cover name, so instead I say, "I know, Sonic." I hear a collective gasp from around me and look up to see that the entire band was crowded around Sonic's limp body. After that moment of shock, I start yelling out orders. 

"YOU! GET MY MEDICAL BAG!! YOU! GET ME BANDAGES!! YOU! GET ME A SEDATIVE!! YOU, YOU, YOU, AND YOU!! HELP ME UNCOVER SONIC'S BODY!! THE REST OF YOU CLEAR THE SCENE!! THAT MEANS GET OFF THE STAGE!!!!" A confused silence unfolded around me. "MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!!" I yell. 

Everyone now starts running around. The boy I told to gets my medical bag brings it to me, and I dismiss him from the scene. The to girls I called to get me a sedative and bandages, quickly rummage around in my bag and grab the white roll of cotton/lignin and a sharp needle filled with a yellowish liquid. The boys I called to help me move the pile of rubbish on top of Sonic's body. We get it off and I'm able to see what state Sonic is really in. He's not good. He has cuts and bruises all over him and a 3rd-degree burn running from his left shoulder to his right hip. The fur there is completely gone leaving only a salmon color skin, burned and charred. 

No wonder he was in so much pain. I think. That's gotta hurt! When I thought about it I realized I hadn't seen any wounds on the rest of the band. I looked around and saw that no one was hurt save a few scratches and torn fur.

There are to possibilities, I thought. Ether the attack was directly aimed at Sonic and no one else, or Sonic saved the whole band and paid the price. I was jolted back to the present by Sonic's moan. Thankfully the lady who got the bandages knew what to do. She pulled out a packet of alcoholic wipes, and a bottle of water. I quickly set to work cleaning my friend's body. Trying not to flinch at his moaning and trying not to crying at how my best friend and adoptive brother laid before me in so much pain.

4 hours later. Tails' sickbay(Sonic POV)

Ugg. I thought for the second time today as I opened my eyes and saw where I was. I was in a white room with lots of beeping machines. I was lying on a cold hard bed with a yellow blob on my stomach. As my vision cleared I saw that the yellow blob I earlier dismissed as a weird machine, was actually Tails! I could feel him shaking all over. I heard soft sobs coming from his body. 

"T-tails? Where a-are we?" I said weakly. Tails look up in surprise and I saw his face, red and blotchy, and twisted into worry and grief. 

"Sonic? Y-you're alive!" He manages to say as he jumps up and hugs me like his life depends on it. 

"Easy there, lil' bro. I'm not going down any time soon" I tell Tails who his still squeezing the life out of me. 

"Oh! Sorry! I got carried away." Tails admits sheepishly, letting go of me in the proces. 

"S'kay!" I say. 

"Okay! Sonic, I need to run a few more tests on you, and then..." He points to a deep wound in my arm. 

"Yeesh," I say. 

"Yeah. Good thing the painkillers are working. That goes down almost to the bone." 

"Witch isn't so deep if you consider my handsome, thin arms," I say, trying to lighten the mood. 

"Haha!" Tails laugh and I even start to chuckle a little before I feel a sharp pain in my chest and break into a coughing fit. 

"Easy there, Sonic." Tails warns me as I calm down. After the tests Tails tells me that the wound on my arm was from a robot stabbing me. 

He concludes with, "And the robot...posined you."
