Orders
Chapter three: Orders
The mysterious cloaked men all sat around a conference table, waiting for their leader. These men wore black cloaks, whether to look intimidating or mysterious. A single cloaked man walked in with a white cloak, assuming that he was the leader of this secret society.
"Gentlemen," the leader began in a harsh tone, "it has come to my attention that our asset has proved his worth to us and to Scourge. It is only a matter of time before we will have what is rightfully ours."
"Pardon me sir, but what if the ruling family interferes?" one of the black cloaked men asked.
"That will not be an issue," the leader assured, "Sonic has already agreed to our terms and is willing to go along with any plan we make. Sally on the other hand, is not as cooperative with our methods."
"Should we take care of her?" another one of the cloaked men asked.
"That will not be necessary," the leader assured, "she has no choice to agree, or she loses everything she fought for. But with that out of the way, let us continue with our operation, we will send our asset an order. If he decides to not take it, he will lose something very dire to him."

Tails Redemption: Ascension
Tails was at the front door to Scourge's castle, taking the time to catch his breath after his long walk. He pushed the door open a few seconds afterwards and walked in like the owned the place, he didn't of course, but it felt good to not get shot at. Tails looked to see that Scourge wasn't in his throne.
"Were did bossman go?" Tails asked.
"Scourge went to do some "business" with Fiona," Rosy answered, "but he told me to hand this to you when you got back."
Rosy handed him a letter of instructions from Scourge, telling him what to do next.
"Boomer also wanted to meet you in his workshop," Rosy said.
"Tell him I'll meet him soon," Tails agreed, "I have to look over this first."
"Can do," Rosy agreed, "we set a room for you up on the second floor, go ahead and blow some steam off. It's the last door on the right."
Tails nodded in agreement as he headed up to the second floor and found the last door on the right and stepped inside. The walls of the room had a dark red paint and the ceiling had a white paint to compliment it. There was assorted furniture set up in the room, such as a desk, a few chairs, a bed and a couch. Tails stepped into the bathroom that was attached to his room and walked in. Tails took the time to look at himself in the mirror; the only thing he saw was a hollowed shell of a soul.
_ _
"You're a fool if you think can forget your past," a dark voice whispered.
"Shut up," Tails replied.
_ _
"It's no wonder why Cosmo wanted to sacrifice herself; you were a weak fool against Shadow." The dark voice continued, "Now she's in heaven fucking that black hedgehog!"
Tails took his UMP45 and unloaded an entire clip into the bathroom mirror, shattering it to pieces. Tails slumped to the ground, drowning in his own sorrow again. Everywhere he went, it hung over him like a cloud of shame, unable to escape the misery that hung over him. Tails picked himself off the ground and left for his bedroom, still in no better condition than before and sat on the bed. Reading the letter that Rosy gave him, it wasn't from Scourge; it was from the secret society.
_ _
"Dear Tails," Scourge's fake message began,"it has come to our attention that you have managed to sway the trust of Scourge, making you objective easier. However, we have come to a crossroad in our mission; we need you to take out Miles. He's one of the few pawns that stand between you and Fiona. The weapon you'll need for the job is stashed underneath your bed, have a nice day Miles Prower."
Tails reached under the bed and pulled out a case that held a big gun. Tails opened it up to reveal a Barrett 50. Cal sniper rifle, complete with two clips filled with ammo. Tails sat on his bed, assembling his new weapon and stashed it underneath the bed again as he walked back to the main floor of the palace, Meeting Scourge who was sitting in his throne.
"Where have you been?" Scourge asked.
"Blowing off steam in my new room," Tails answered.
"Sounds like you did more than that," Scourge replied, "so how did it go?"
"Simple," Tails answered lying, "an old SWATbot unit was sending the message, it wasn't easy to do with regular bullets, but they're scrap now."
"SWATbots?" Scourge questioned, "They must've been left here, anyway, thanks for your help in dealing with a small problem."
Tails nodded as he headed for Boomer's workshop underneath the castle. It was basically Rotor's workshop except he made weapons of destruction, Ranging from big too small. Tails observed the collection of guns.
"Like what you seee?" Boomer asked.
"I'll admit, you have a nice collection of guns," Tails answered, "Rosy said you wanted to see me?"
"Oh yes, that," Boomer replied, "I need a rare material called 'Dark Matter,' a resource that only grows in a few areas."
_ _
'Easy win,' Tails thought remembering Eggman's words, "where can I find this rare material?"
"There's a place on Moebius called 'The Badlands' just east of here," Boomer answered, "it's a test site for nuclear weapons, so expect resistance. You'll need some more heat if you're going there."
Boomer reached underneath his workbench and pulled out a Desert Eagle Magnum Pistol and a SCAR-L Assault Rifle with grenade launcher attachment, Tails dropped his UMP45 and its ammo onto Boomer's workbench on and took his new weapons. Boomer also pulled out clips for the Desert Eagle and the SCAR-L, giving them to Tails without hesitation.
"So what do I expect to find in The Badlands?" Tails asked checking his new guns.
"That's beyond my knowledge, so be careful," Boomer admitted, "when you walk through that door, your death isn't on my conscience."
_ _
'You never had one to begin with,' Tails thought, "Fine by me, just don't expect a funeral when I come back."
"I'll hold you to that," Boomer replied chuckling, "as a matter of fact, I'm so confident that I'll even give some attachments if you come back alive!"
"Challenge accepted," Tails agreed.
Tails walked out of Boomer's workshop and onto the world beyond the reaches of the castle. What would he confront in The Badlands? He didn't know. What he knew is that Dark Matter existed there, in a place that life was impossible. Tails was ready to step into hell, and he was going to drag it back with him.
He just didn't know what he would be dragging from hell.
