So, a couple of days ago, I was looking through my attic for old stuff and something caught my eye. It was a box with the words, “GAMES”, on it in sharpie. I took a peak inside and found a Sega Saturn and some games. I decided to play it for old times sake.
After hooking it up to the TV, I began playing some of the games. Soon, I came to the last game, Sonic R. It was a Sonic the Hedgehog racing game and I used to love to play it as a kid. I played it for a couple hours and soon enough I beat it. I decided to play with the Tag Mode and chose Tails Doll.
The characters I had to tag were Metal Sonic, Mecha Knuckles, Egg Robo, and finally Super Sonic. The game’s controls were not the best, so it was a bit hard. Soon, I tagged almost all of the characters but Super Sonic. He was very fast, so it was hard, but soon enough after bumping all over the place, I tagged him.
For a split second, the screen turned red and it cut to a close up shot of Tails Doll tagging Sonic, not his Super form but his regular self, like as if tagging him sucked the Chaos Emerald energy out of him. After this, the screen aburtly went to black.
Suddenly, something faded into view. It showed a grass field, which was the one from Resort Island, with a blue colored bloody corpse lying on it. I didn’t see it fully at first, but then I suddenly realized who it was.
It was... Sonic!
I gasped in shock. His eyes were gouged out and his stomach was cut open with his entrails hanging out. Suddenly, Tails Doll appeared infront of Sonic’s corpse with his back to the player. He turned his head around without moving the rest of his body, staring right at me. He then quickly turned the rest of his body around and I saw blood splattered all over him and his hands covered in it too.
“Hello,” it said in a demonic, child-like voice. “Thank you for playing as me and tagging that insolent hedgehog, helping me absorb his powers, which helps me break the barrier.”
“What the fuck?!” I shouted in fear. “Get the fuck away from me, you demonic beast!”
Tails Doll turned its head 360 degrees and when it fully turned around, it’s eyes were glowing red and it had a mouth with sharp teeth covered in blood and bits of flesh. It lunged at the screen and began to come out of it. I began screaming and started to run away.
The Tails Doll growled and grew claws. It shot at me and pinned me to the wall, then began to claw at my chest, as my shirt ripped up and blood began to drip from the claw wounds. I kicked it off me and sprinted upstairs. I didn’t look back because I was scared I would fall and it would get me.
The Tails Doll flew in, growling, and I grabbed my baseball bat and hit its blood red gem, shattering it in pieces. It screeched loudly and began to deteriorate. As soon as it was gone, I sighed in relief, knowing that I survived that damn beast.
Now I write this as a warning. Never, ever play Tag Mode as Tails Doll. You don’t know what trouble you’re getting yourself in.
