Genocidal Tails REMAKE
Author's note: This is a remake of my original Genocidal Tails story. You don't need to read the original to enjoy this one!
Hi, my name's Yomie. One of my favourite things in the world used to be Sonic...I had so many merch, and I owned every game I could get...though that's all either buried in my garden or sold at flea markets.
You're probably wondering why. Well, here's my story.
I was playing Sonic Mania (as Tails, who used to be my favourite character) on a quiet, calm Saturday night, 9:33 pm. It seemed like it was gonna be the best weekend of the month.
Boy, was I wrong.
A ring came at the door, and I decided to answer it.
"Delivery for Mx Yomie Kojima-Anderson?" A young teenage mailman was holding a small parcel. I was a little confused. "Uhh, I don't think I've ordered anything..." I said tentatively.
After all, how can I remember all my mail orders when I'm busy with gaming and college?
The teenager was just as puzzled as me. "It's meant to go to some guy named Jacob Kazude, but the actual deliveree wasn't home and he told us that if he wasn't in then we should give it to you anyway. I guess it must be a gift?" He said. I nodded - Jacob was my best buddy, and we went to the same college - and took the parcel, practically iced in "Fragile" stickers and stamps.
I thanked the teen boy and tipped him - I know how hard it is to work delivery, even if I used to work as a pizza deliverer and not a mailman.
I walked back up to my room, and unwrapped my parcel on the sofa while preparing to reach for my controller again - and a second-edition Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game disc in a thick dust wrapper fell onto my lap as fast as my jaw dropped. I was shocked - I have never owned a Sonic 2 disc before, I've only ever played it on an emulator (I have a Sega Genesis - I just couldn't get my hands on a Sonic 2 disc before this.)
I immediately saved my Sonic Mania game, unplugged my Xbox and plugged in my Genesis, and I picked up the game.
I noticed a reddish-brown crusty stain on the dust wrapper that smelled like rotting blood, though I just assumed it was gross muck it must have gathered over the years which, for some reason, smelt like blood.
I let my Genesis load before opening the box and plugged in the disc, and picked up the controller.
The first thing I noticed was that Tails looked a little more..maniacal than usual. I shrugged it off as the lateness of the night starting to get to me and continued on. The game loaded into Emerald Hill Zone, which is when I smelt a rat - Sonic wasn't there...yet I was on singleplayer. I was playing as Tails, looking a little more maniacal. I started to feel uneasy but carried on. The game continued as normal, and I was just beginning to relax before I spotted Sonic at the end of the level and immediately felt anxious again. Sonic turned around to face Tails and smiled, his eyes closed, so he didn't see Tails's manaical grin. Tails suddenly ran at Sonic, a silvery and shiny knife in his hand. He grabbed Sonic's throat and stabbed him in the eyes and stomach, gouging his eyes out. Sonic screamed and clutched at his empty sockets, quivering in pain. I could only stare in horror as Tails pulled Sonic's hands away from his face and tore Sonic's head clean off, eyeless and eternally twisted in pain and despair. Tails picked up Sonic's head, grinning crazily, but I didn't see what he did with it as I had closed my eyes briefly in fear hoping I was just having a vivid and horrifying hallucination
I was wrong.
Now we were in Angel Island Zone? I was confused and terrified, knowing deep down that Knuckles was next.
This time, I was correct.
Knuckles saw Tails's freaky grin, the bloodstains all over him and the bloody knife and realised Tails had done something horrible. Knuckles lunged at Tails, but the fox neatly stepped aside and tore out Knuckles's guts, the thick, fleshy ropes spilling out of his torso. Knuckles could barely react before his heart and arms were ripped, his heart was in half and on the floor and his arms next to it. I was horrified, that was an absolutely terrifyingly awful scene and I wished like hell I had never opened that damn box. The disc wouldn't eject and I was regretting my decision to not have any roommates. The rotten blood stench came back to me and I realised it was actual blood, and I was in so much terror I completely blacked out.
When I came round again, it was 3:33 am, and the game had changed. Tails was in Palmtree Panic, staring at me. I quickly grabbed the controller and made him turn around, but he turned again to face me. I swear I heard a whisper, "I'm more powerful than your little joystick." and he walked foward of his own volition and came across Amy, who was searching for Sonic. She spotted Tails, and came foward to ask a question before she realised Tails was covered in blood, but she didn't have time to react before Sonic slashed at her throat - though not enough to kill her. She cried out in shock, terror and pain. Tails stabbed her in the arms and thighs, before noticing a strange crucifix I was sure hadn't been there before. He reached out and grabbed it, keeping a painfully hard grip on the sobbing Amy. He also picked up a box of screws. I watched in panic as Tails slammed Amy smack-dab on the middle of the crucifix. He stabbed the screws into the stab wounds on her arms, legs and throat before stabbing her in the eyes and leaving her to die.
I couldn't go on after that, and made to leave my dorm, but I realised my door was locked...I hoped to god Jacob was playing a joke on me by locking my door and giving me a hacked game, but the stench of rotting reminded me about the dried blood on the dust wrapper and I knew this was no joke. Something had happened to Jacob.
Someone used his mail account to send me this game.
And now Tails had hunted his friends and killed them like a predator does prey.
I was scared out of my mind.
I reluctantly walked back to my TV and picked up the controller again, but I knew I was powerless here.
The puppeteer had become the puppet, and Tails was the puppetmaster now.
There was nothing left to play - Tails was surrounded by the corpses of his friends. He held Sonic's head in his hands, wearing a scarf made of Knuckles's guts, surrounded with the hearts of Knuckles and Amy, who was still tacked onto that crucifix and finally dead. Knuckles's corpse was lying next to Sonic's, Knuckles's arms having been sewn back on but sloppily, though something about the stitches made me think that Tails had sewn it badly on purpose to bring poor Knuckles more pain. Tails was staring right at me, and laughed crazily. "You think you can win this game? You'll never win, Yomie," he said, smiling like a crazy person. "I'm more powerful than them. I'm more powerful than you. I'm more powerful than Jacob, or any of the idiots who came before him or you. You're next, Yomie. Remember that."
I stared in shock. I felt warm breathing on my neck, and a whisper...
"I'm here, Yomie."
