Bounty hunter: sunstreak's backstory

hey guys! I made sunstreak's story a little bit early since my christmas break is nearly over and I wanted to get this on here during my break. so let the story begin.

## chapter 1: meet sunstreak, flicker, and flare

age(s) for sunstreak, flicker, and flare

sunstreak: 6

flicker: 5

flare: 12

I don't remember most of my childhood ( not like it matters anyways), but however I remember this day. it was a cold winter sunday, I was walking through the forest humming my favorite song (' fight song' by rachel platten) when a group of bullies, a black bear, a purple wolf, and a red weasel all males, came by " we don't like your kind around here" said the black bear "what kind is that?" I asked. the red weasel pushed me to the ground while saying " freaks!" i was in pain and started to cry "aww. did we hurt your little feelings?" teased the black bear. the group got closer to me as I tried to get up. the purple wolf pushed me back down as the red weasel hit me in the stomach. hard. the bear hit me on the face causing me to bleed a little. they kept beating me up and all I could do was curl in the ball and cry. " hey! leave them alone" said a voice. there was two cloaked figures, one looked very young and the other one a lot older than the other, "mind your own business" said the bear i noticed that the older one's eyes and hands were glowing red. they grabbed the bear as their hood flew off revealing a fox with orange and red fur " listen here. you leave them alone or I'll burn you to crisp" they said. the bullies ran away screaming. the younger one helped me up " are you okay?" they said " i'm fine. i've gotten used to this" I said, my ears drooping. it was true, I have gotten used to being beaten up a lot since I have two tails, but the perk is that it taught me a lot about how to treat my wounds with few resources. "WHAT?!" the figures both yelled "why if they hurt you again-" started the orange fox " flare, calm down. lets worry about her wounds rather than those b\*\*ches" said the other figure " flicker! watch your language" said flare. the two foxes took me to their house and took care of my wounds. " so where are your parents?" asked flicker " my parents?" I asked. "the truth is, I never knew my parents. never had a mom or dad" "you don't have parents?! neither do we!" said flicker " the reason we have this house is because flare is a bounty hunter meaning she hunts people for money" explained flicker " flicker, keep it down" whispered flare " hold still. this might sting" flare put something on my cheek. she was right it did sting a lot! " there. all done" said flare. after that, I stayed with the two. at least until I met him.

## chapter 2: the bounty

ages for characters

sunstreak: 12

flicker: 13

flare: 22

I'm now the most skilled bounty hunter there is ( and now one of the youngest). I rely on my hydrokinesis ( the power to control water) to kill the ones i'm hunting, and my tranq darts so I can bring them back alive. today I was told by flare that someone wanted me and my team ( me, flicker, and flare), team bounty, to come over to his lair and talk about who we're hunting. two hours later, we made it to our destination and boy it could use a redesign. flare finds a window we climbed through "flare, why are we climbing through the window?" I asked " element of surprise" said flare as she grinned. a human paced in a lone room with two robots saying " where are they? where are they?" over and over we put on our mask ( with voice modifiers) to hide our identities. we jump out of our hiding spots "looking for us?" I asked "why yes." said the human " call me robotnik" " call me hikari" i said. hikari meant light in japanese, so I decided to use that as my code name while flicker's was 'chira' and flares was 'furea' . " alright. enough chit-chat. who do want us to hunt down? and do you want them back dead or alive" asked flare in her 'let's get down to business' tone " listen. you're the most skilled bounty hunters there are. I need you to track down a certain *blue* hedgehog" said robotnik "how much will you pay?" I asked " 1,000,000 rings" he said " alive. twice as much if dead" my eyes gleamed hearing the offer ' 1,000,000 RINGS!? WE'LL BE THE RICHEST BOUNTY- WAIT A MINUTE' " prove it" I said. suddenly, the door behind him opened and we saw so many rings I nearly cried. I grabbed robotnik by his shirt screaming "WHO IS THIS HEDGEHOG? WHERE CAN I FIND HIM? DOES HE HAVE SOMEONE BY HIS SIDE ALL THE TIME? WHAT'S HIS WEAKNESS?" " his name is sonic. anywhere. yes, but he is nothing to worry about if you take him out as well i'll pay you extra. water" answered robotnik ' perfect.' I thought. "deal" I said sticking my hand out for him to shake it "I have to warn you. sonic is hard to catch, and don't go straight forward and try and kill him, or he will attack you. make sure it's sonic as well, for some reason people always get shadow and sonic confused" informed robotnik shaking my hand. " trust me. if everything goes as planned, you'll find him dead by monday morning"

## chapter 3: finding sonic

it took day, and i mean DAYS to find this hedgehog. I was looking all across the whole area and found almost nothing. one night, I was jumping on top of buildings hoping I would find him " this is furea, have you two found anything? over." asked flare "nothing. over." said flicker "same. over" I said, but as soon as I said that I saw a hedgehog. "WAIT! I THINK I FOUND HIM! over.". i watched from the shadows as the mobian i was looking for was walking in an alley, the hedgehog was in my sight. my katana in hand ready to slice his head of clean, but i put it away because first I had to talk to them just to make sure. I tapped on their shoulder and they get defensive by kicking me in the back of the head. I pounce on them trying to find a weakness as he tried to make me let go. he does a spindash knocking me back 'alright. two can play at that game' I thought. I spindash him from behind surprising him. i hear a click click sound of someone getting a rifle ready to shoot. a bullet nips a small bit of my ear and it bleeds a little bit. i was glad i moved aside when i heard the noise. i try to spindash him again but he somehow teleports out of the way and hits me in the back of the head. ' alright i might as well get my katana out.' i thought. i grabbed the katana and try to slice his arm off, however he steps away in time and punches me again " heh. your putting up quit a fight, sonic" I said wiping the blood of my nose "SONIC?! WHY DOES EVERYBODY COMPARE ME TO THE FAKER?!" the hedgehog yelled "wait. your not sonic?" I said confused "no. my name is shadow" said shadow "oh! i'm very sorry. it's hard to see in the night" I said "anyways, have you seen sonic?" "yes. he's in this town. near eggman's base" answered shadow. "um. can you give me like a map or something?" I asked but he disappeared. flicker and flare ran over, and it turns out that they were watching me fight shadow "sunstreak, are you ok?" asked flare "yeah. that guy nearly killed you" said flicker " i'm fine" I said. " guys. I know where sonic is. give me a moment" I turned my gps " boisu, give me the destination of the 'eggman base' " I ordered " *sure thing. give me a moment.*" said a male voice, boisu ( voice), a moment later a map showed me the eggman base. luckly, it was a few miles away! we ran all the way until I saw two figures one i'm 100% sure is sonic. "Osewaninarimasu" I told flare and flicker ( a/n: sunstreak, flicker, and flare are all fluent in japanese and will talk to each other in the language. i'm sorry if it gets confusing so i'll translate everything they say. translation: "i'll take care of them". end of a/n) "Sapōto ga hitsuyōna baai wa oshirase kudasai" said flare ( " if you need help let us know) "hai" I said ( " okay"). I land swiftly on the ground the two mobians stop in their tracks "um. who are you?" asked the blue hedgehog ( sonic) " Anata no shi" I said ( " your death"). I looked at a river and flick my finger. as the water floats in mid air sonic tries to run, but my powers were faster. I grabbed the pair in the water hands.I watched as I choked my two captives to death, until I saw that my second, younger, captive had a very interesting feature. two tails. I let go. was I killing my own family? no I c-can't. w-why is robotnik making me do this? flare came out of her hiding spot glaring at me "Sorera o korosu" she said ( " kill them") "no" I said " NANI?!" said flare ( "WHAT?!") " Mōshiwakearimasen" I told her ( " i'm sorry"). both sonic and the other fox slowly tried to walk out of sight, but I use my tranq gun and shot both of them "Sorera o musubu" I said ( " tie them up"). flicker nodded tying up sonic, as I winced as flare tied up the two-tailed fox's tails "Shinaide kudasai" I said ( " please don't") "hai"said flare not tying up his tails ( " okay"). we took the two to robotnik and he waited for us near the entrance "you have both of them?" robotnik asked "yes. kill them and I'll kill you" I said grabbing the rings and ran off with my team.

## chapter 4: the nightmare

that night, I tried my best to sleep but everytime I even closed my eyes visions of robotnik killing that fox and sonic tormented me. I decided to use one of my tranq darts so I could at least get some sleep. now looking back at that I regret it. a metal version of sonic stood in front of sonic and that fox( i think at that time i called the fox ' blue eyes'? maybe ' kit'? screw it i'm calling them 'kit'), the metal sonic stabbed both of the mobians in the chest killing them as someone chanted over and over "Kare wa anata no kyōdai o koroshimasu" ( "he will kill your brother") and robotnik laughing very loud. I woke up screaming and I dart out of my room, blood boiling, I grabbed my katana and my mask ( and I was that mad, and I ONLY TAKE MY KATANA OUT WHEN I'M VERY MAD!) flying as fast as I could. I got to his lair and made a huge hole in his wall. I ran to wear sonic and kit was being held. they stared at me with cold glares "calm down, you idiots. i'm on your side now" I said untying them " then why did you hand us over to eggman?" asked sonic " so me and my friends had money to eat and pay for the house. if you don't trust me, I could leave" I said walking away. "NO WAIT!" said sonic " yes?" " could you finish untying me and tails" ' oh. so that's the name of my brother? really?' i thought "what's the magic word?" I teased. sonic groaned " pleeeeeeeeease" he groaned even more " \* giggles\* alright. you win" . i try untying sonic's feet, but it would not budge. " you need help?" said someone. i turn around and see flare and flicker next to me, as flare unties sonic i ask " what are you doing here?" she said " to watch over you." flare finished untying sonic and flicker finally was finished with tails "we have never been properly introduced. my name is sunstreak" i tell sonic " i'm sonic. sonic the hedgehog" "and i'm miles prower, but you can call me tails" ' yup. he has to be my brother. 100%' i thought. he has the same last name as me, we both has two tails, and his eyes are sky blue just like my right eye ( my left eye is a darkish green). " alright enough introductions we need to get out of here before the egghead wakes up" said flare " what *did* you do to robotnik?" i asked " um...

flare's pov

as soon as sunstreak asked that question i remembered what i did

flashback

*i was standing over robotnik's chair as he sipped a cup of coffee. i hit him with my baseball bat and he falls out of his chair, spills his coffee, and is knock out.*

( back to sunstreak's pov)

" um.... i knocked him out with my bat" said flare. " okaaaaaaay let's get out of here" i said. we go through the exit i made and run home " hey, sunstreak!" yelled sonic "what?" i ask "do you want to come with us?" asked sonic. i was frozen in shock. no one, besides flicker and flare, shown me kindness when they knew nothing about me. " flare?" i asked " you decide. i mean you're old enough to make your decisions" said flare "sure. i would love to!" i said

## chapter 5: living with tails and sonic

sonic: 13

tails: 4

sunstreak: 12

i like living with sonic and tails. the only bad thing is that all sonic wants to eat is chili dogs ( and i swear to god if i smell the scent of chili again, i will throw up). anyways, it was a nice day outside when all of a sudden a storm hits. " what the h\*ll?!" i said " let's get inside" said sonic " tails, come on" we get inside, wet and cold, lighting flashes through the sky and tails dashes towards me hugging me tight silently crying. i hug him as sonic tries to comfort him " he's been scared of lighting ever since i met him" sonic explained. i felt bad for him and can relate to that. the truth is, i'm scared of the dark. i don't know why, but any time i'm in the dark i start to freak out and feel trapped, alone, and scared. i always have to have a night light because of this fear. anyways, we stayed in the living room and watched the lion king (with some lightning flashing through the window) and tails seemed to like it. he laugh as simba would runaway from zazu, cry when mufasa was killed, and cheered when simba fought scar. i noticed it was tails' bedtime " tails, it's time for bed" i said " awwwwwwww" tails said while his ears drooped and i chuckled. i tucked tails into bed but then lightning flashed again and tails hugged me very tight. i tried to think of what would confort tails and make him fall asleep ' i know! anytime i get scared, flare sings me a song' i thought the first song that came to my mind was my second favorite song ' pure imagination'.

(pure imagination by gene wilder) ( i don't know if there's any female covers but if there is, please tell me!)

**sunstreak: Hold your breath**

**Make a wish**

**Count to three**

\*tails seemed to calm down as i sang softly\*

**Come with me and you'll be**

**In a world of pure imagination**

**Take a look and you'll see**

**Into your imagination**

**we'll begin with a spin**

**Travelling in the world of my creation**

**What we'll see will defy explanation**

**If you want to view paradise**

**Simply look around and view it**

**Anything you want to, do it**

**Want to change the world?**

**There's nothing to it**

**There is no life I know**

**To compare with pure imagination**

**Living there you'll be free**

**If you truly wish to be**

\*tails started to get tired so i tucked him back into bed as i kept singing\*

**If you want to view paradise**

**Simply look around and view it**

**Anything you want to, do it**

**Want to change the world?**

**There's nothing to it**

**There is no life I know**

**To compare with pure imagination**

**Living there you'll be free..**

**If you truly... wish..** to be**.....**

tails fell asleep when i finished singing. "good night, little brother" i said kissing him " i didn't know you could sing" sonic said out of the blue " how the f\*c-" i started " shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. there's a child in here" sonic whispered to me "sorry. i just don't like to sing in front of people" i said " you see, i used to sing a lot when i was young but i started to get bullied for my two tails and the songs i sung. i got a lot of bruises and cuts when i was younger, but it did help me learn how to use plants as medicine to heal my cuts. i'm lucky flare and flicker found me." " oh. i'm sorry" said sonic. wait am i blushing!? do i like sonic? maybe even........ love him?

## chapter 6: meeting knuckles

i woke up early because i wanted to do the one thing i love to do after a rainstorm. water bend. i went outside and took a deep breath ' ah. i love the smell of rain' i thought. i close my eyes for a moment and listen for the dripping sound of the rain *drip,drip,drip* i then lift my hand to see if i can do the thing i've always wanted to do. i concentrated and only thought of the dripping of the rain *drip,drip,drip,drip* i could feel water run down my back smoothly and form the shape of wings " what are you doing sunstreak?"said sonic . i lose my concentration and trip " DARN IT SONIC!" i yelled " i nearly finished making my wings!" i said "why do you need wings when you can fly already?" asked sonic " i need them because one, i can barely fly with my tails, two, wings are easy to control, and three, wings look cool." sonic laughed a little and then came silence. " um, me and tails are going to a friends of ours for a little bit. you want to join us?" asked sonic breaking the silents " sure." i said. we walk into a huge workshop with many different gadgets and even a plane! " wow! you know how to fly a plane?!" i asked " well somewhat. tails owns the plane and-" " WHAT?!" i yelled " calm down will ya? he knows how to fly a plane somehow. anyways, he also owns the workshop, too! he's very smart by the way." said sonic. a moment later, i was riding on the wing of a plane " HOW ARE YOU STANDING!?" I yelled " I DON'T KNOW!" sonic yelled " WHY ARE YOU YELLING?" asked sonic " I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU BECAUSE OF THE WIND!"

( one hour later)

i could barely feel my legs. " so did you enjoy the ride?" asked tails "yeah" i lied with a fake smile. as soon as tails walked away i fell on the ground " i can't feel my legs" i said and sonic laughed " you'll get used to it" he said still laughing. i get up and start to look around " where are we?" i ask "angel island. oh, watch out for traps" said sonic " what trAAAAAAPPSS" i yelled as i fell down a hole "oh, those traps" " need help?" asked sonic " i can help myself thank you very much" i said climbing out of the hole.
