Sonic x Make Your Mark: Season 3 - Final Teaser: Training Session · 6:13am Oct 10th, 2023
Outside of the Brighthouse, Sonic and Tails were training out.
Sonic was hitting Tails with everything he got, not holding back a single bit since Tails himself asked him not to, while Tails tried to hit him with his various gadgets made with his powers or with attacks he made by himself.
An example of the last group is his spinning tails, which he has learned to control as a weapon besides a flying tool, and has managed to sent Sonic backwards on several occasions and even stun him for a couple of minutes so he can attack him and go all on him.
Yet Sonic was a quick fighter in everything: Attacking, dodging, recovering... It didn't mattered how many strategies Tails came up with in such a short time, Sonic simply moved too fast and kept going against him.
That's precisely what he wanted, true, but is began to become a bit overwhelming as the training went on.
Eventually, Tails made a big mistake while trying to hit Sonic with a giant metallic glove made with his electrical powers: After the Blue Blur dodged the attack, Tails looked ahead and blinked... Just to realize that Sonic was gone, and not in front of him anymore.
That was bad news already, and yet it became worse when Sonic appeared behind, then kicked him on his back, and then charged the Phantom Rush against him, since it was already charged thanks to the training.
Sonic finished up the attack by punching Tails against a wall of the Brighthouse, and the young fox crashes on his back against it, slowly descending in pain and groaning. This was his third defeat today, and if he didn't started to improve his strategies, it'll keep going up.
Tails kneeled in the ground painfully and held his stomach, while Sonic came in front of him and looked down at him with a mocking smirk.
"You blinked." Sonic said, then extended his hand to help him stand up.
Tails rolled his eyes and accepted Sonic's help to get back into his feet, although he still grabbed his stomach in pain. "I tried not to..."
"But you still did." Sonic deadpanned, then crossed his arms and looked at him concerned. "You okay? I think I went too hard on you."
"I'm fine, Sonic." Tails replied. "Besides, even if my body hurts, is precisely what I need. It just means I have to get better if I wanna be at your level when facing powerful foes."
After saying this, he limped a bit towards inside the Brighthouse, while Sonic looked at him concerned, but still followed along out of concern. Once inside the building, Tails brought out a bag with ice and placed it on the chair's back, then he sat there to ease the pain he felt on his back.
"I don't have to throw my fists against you, little bro." Sonic pointed out with concern, but a glare from Tails when he used that nickname make him shake his head. "I mean, buddy. Getting stronger is more than just training yourself physically. Is also growing as a person, gain more knowledge, mature. Punching the crap out of you is affecting you more than helping, and you know it."
"If I wanna be on par with powerful foes and at least be a struggle for them, I have to keep testing my physical strength as much as necessary." Tails replied, also sighing a bit frustrated. "Taking down an Eggman Decoy is not hard for anyone, if we're being real. The decoys are not a threat, but their creator is. I want to take down Eggman alone again, or even anyone as dangerous! But to do that, I must keep training and growing. And, if I wanna show I'm your equal, defeating you seems to be a good start!"
"But making me go all out on you is unfair, don't you think?" Sonic said, still feeling concerned. "I'm faster than anyone in this building, man. Even containing myself, I'm quite a match. And I'm not saying it to brag, I just wanna point out that maybe going all out on you is not the best right now. I'm sure you can defeat me, Tails. But maybe wait until you have defeated me while I hold back before facing me when I don't?"
"Like I said, if I want to be your equal, I must defeat you on your full strength!" Tails said with a determinate look.
"You're a maniac, you know that?" Sonic said with a frown. "You're like the guys that want to face the final boss full strength on a game at level 1 or 2. That cannot end well."
"I appreciate that you worry, Sonic, but I made up my mind." Tails said with a serious expression. "From now on, I won't train with you if you won't use everything you've got against me! Same goes to Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, and Sunny... And to anyone else that helps me to train. I'm gonna become a good and skilled fighter like you, just you wait and see!"
Sonic was still concerned that Tails could get hurt if he insisted with this idea, but he still smiled at him, and even felt a bit jealous with how decided he is with his idea.
"Look at you. You really wanna be my equal, huh? 'Cause everything you just said sounds like something I'll say instead!" Sonic said with a smile.
