I do not own any Sonic the Hedgehog characters or any characters in this story, they all belong to SEGA. I am open for new ideas as long as they are clean. This is my first fanfic so please be nice.

It was a bright sunny day like no other on Mobius; kids were playing in the fields, birds were chirping, the sea rolled over the beach peacefully, trees rustled gently in the breeze, and flowers were blooming in the golden fields. The grown men and women were walking on the sidewalks and into buildings: going to work, shopping, or just sightseeing.

But all was not well for a certain Fox on Cocoa Island. The fox`s name was Miles Prower. He had fine golden fur unlike any other Fox, blue eyes, shoes that were red near his heel and white at the tip, and dirty white gloves. He was an orphan, was homeless because no one would take him in (even the orphanage), he was completely broke (even if he had money it would only be stolen even if he paid for something), and looked down upon. The kids would beat him up, take the food he continually tries to eat (mostly from trash cans), police, just for the fun of it, would taser him, and more which is a miracle that he wasn`t dead considering that he is only four.

"Why" is the question that most people would ask if they have never met the boy. It was because of his unfortunate mutation that gave him not one, but two tails. That is all it took to be in the "scorned" class. His name was just as pathetic to him as if was to everyone else.

If you were to say it slowly with an intuitive hearing it would come out as "Miles Per-Hour", and it was because of this, the name was ridiculed and disowned. The kids would sometimes say "Look! He`s going to his death only in 'Miles Per Hour's. GO FASTER TO THE REEPER, FREEK! NO ONE WILL STOP YA!"

Each night Miles would run to his cave in the mountains and cry himself to sleep. He hated his life, more so than his name of which he changed to the nickname 'Tails'. He always tried to cheer himself up like this. For example he taught himself math, science, swimming, reading, mechanics(of which came natural to him), biology, anatomy, botany (more particularly from having to eat plants in the forest), and even how to rotate his tails fast enough to blast forward at incredible speed and even chop the air fast enough to take off into the sky like a helicopter.

On this day it was no different than any other, for him at least. Fly around, get hit by rocks, yadda, yadda, yadda, wants his life to end right now, really hungry need some food and of course there is not even a crumb nearby.

The fox was in an ally curled up against a wall. Ha sat down and hugged his knees and let a few tears creep down his face. How he still has an urge to live is way beyond him to understand, but the urge was stronger than everyone thought possible. He was receiving beatings, cruel words, was forced into trash cans or even locked closets he would have to break down.

After a few heaved breaths of sobs, he decided that sitting in the alleyway hugging himself would not help in any way. He got up and walked over to the trash bin near to find lunch, if there was any.

Just as luck would have it… today is a rotten day, nothing was in there, except for some newspaper clippings. Even if the paper was wrinkled, battered, and ripped in some areas, it was new enough for him.
The golden Fox carefully took the old article to have a quick peek. The fox let out a quite squeal of delight and ran back into the alley to continue the read. He held his breath. The front page of the whole paper was about none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails could not believe his luck, his hero, his idol, was right on the front page for him to read like a story book. The best kind of story book as well.

The Fox dived into the subject of great importance to him. It spoke of the hedgehog had defeated the great Dr. Eggman from conceding the planet once more and it got into details. Great details the fox could not help but to enjoy.

It spoke of Sonic dashing across the country side in a gust of wind, how he tumbled through plains of robots to stop the madman, and how Sonic leaped away from the exploding monstrosity of a robot that use to have the "great" Doctor Eggman piloting it. Sonic, once more, walks off without a scratch, saving the planet.

Tails finally finished the article and looked up into the imaged, yet kind eyes of Sonic who has a thumbs up and a warm, cocky smile. Tails sighed "Why couldn't I be more like you? I bet you have all sorts of friends and family."

"Because you`re a two tailed freak!"

Tails cringed at the voice and looked at the end of the alley to see Judas and his gang standing there with their arms crossed with unpleasant grins. "Ha-Hi Jud-us."

Tails swallowed hard and nervously. He knew why they were here. He may just be four, but his brain could outsmart a grown scientist. "You missed your scheduled beat up, Freak." Judas tried to look sad, but he was being more dramatic than necessary "Now we`re going to have to do the beat up with some over time." The big monkey cracked his knuckles and stepped toward the fox.

Tails got up, the paper falling away at his side as he began to back up to the end of the alley. His back smashed into the wall and he pressed it hard into sturdy building as if it would magically let him through for a perfect escape, but why should it? Life hates him after all.

He would fly away, but that took time and time is what he does not have. He did not master the immediate twirl to fly off; he has to start slowly into a hover before actually flight.

The fox was snatched by the throat and lifted up off his feet, rubbed up against the wall. "So. How many "Miles Prower" should my fist go?"
Judas` friends snickered at this, but really… it was old. Tails coughed out something

"Huh? What was that monster? Are you choking?"
Judas` hand clenched tighter on the fox`s throat.

Tails finally sputtered out "W-will you- hugh- `s... stop... calling me-Gee- that!"

Judas was confused and released the two tailed fox "Wow, finally gave up on being a Prower, freak?"

Miles gasped and regained control from a coughing fit before answering "I'm... Tails."

Everyone just busted out laughing. "Why, that`s just dumber than Miles. And I thought that was as bad as it gets."

They all fell down chuckling and blurting out. This gave the fox the chance he needs to escape. He slowly spun his tails faster and faster, soon he was hovering. Judas and the gang finally heard the fox`s tails slicing the air, and just as Judas lunged at Tails, the fox had shot skyward.

Tails looked down as he flew off to see the bullies throwing rocks at him, but since he was too far away the rocks never even grazed the flying four year old.

Tails was able to fly yes, but flying forever was physically impossible. The strain was getting too strong for Tails and so he began to descend into the forest below.

The fox yelped as he came past the tree tops. A river was raging along to ground rapidly and aggressively. The fox quickly grabbed a low branch and swung to a nearby shore. He got up, dusted himself off, and began to walk. In the distance he heard a sound. He froze and listened so he could tell if it was a friend or foe. The loud humming and popping came from the sky. Tails head snapped toward the sound. It was a red plane soaring downward. The plane lurched toward the beach and the ground shook as a ginormous crash blasted outward.

Tails fell back, but quickly got up. The fox turned toward the crash in shock. He ran toward the site to investigate.

.

Sonic pulled on the throttle as hard as he could, but he had lost control of the plane and it was losing altitude. As the hedgehog came out of the clouds he saw an island coming up fast and hard. Sonic's eyes widened, but the skilled and fast hero knew what to do. Just as he was about to collide, Sonic jumped out and threw a fist at the ground, propelling him forward so he could land on the sand. The crash was close to where he was kneeling and result was a loose part striking the hedgehog on the back of his head.

Sonic rubbed his sore head grumbling to himself. He turned and ran at the plane and kicked it as hard as he could.

He cursed under his breath as he hopped on one foot while holding his other wounded one. He fell back into a sitting position to massage his new injury "Great! Just great! I can demolish one of Eggman`s robot with one swift kick, but when I kick a stupid plane-."

Eggman`s last exempt to kill Sonic before his flying base was destroyed was to shoot down the plane. It worked up in till the part Sonic survived.

The hedgehog stood and looked around. He was on a beach at an edge of a forest with the sea at his back, nothing more of interest, besides his blasted kick-resistant plane that was curled in odd angles at the moment. Sonic shrugged, the anger already passed over him, and dashed away to find a city or a town where he can see if his plane could be fixed and maybe get something to eat.

Actually, getting something to eat was a better idea at the moment. Apparently the grudge against the plane was not gone after all.

.

Something zoomed past Tails and the breeze it produced was so strong that it shoved the fox down.

It was too fast for the small fox to see who it was, but he did not need to. "There`s only one person alive who can run that fast."

Tails ran out onto the beach to find a small crashed plane painted red and in white letters, that is hard to read because of the plating being ripped apart, read "Sonic the Hedgehog."

The golden fox leaped for joy. The fastest, coolest thing alive was on his island of all places. Tails walked to the plane in admiration. He soon noticed that one of the wings had a crispy, giant tear from where Eggman had shot it with a laser the small genius thought.

Tails looked at the contraption and then in the cockpit. There was a tool kit for special emergencies. The fox now knew what he should do to gain the hedgehog`s attention. He ran back to his cave where he put some paint he had found in an abandoned building along with his favorite tool, the screwdriver.
.
Sonic waved at two girls, both screamed in delight and went berserk over who the hero of Mobius liked the most. Sonic loved the way people gawk at him in awe and approbation. People asked for his autograph, which he always accepted, only taking about two seconds to write "Sonic the Hedgehog."

Sonic went up to a man who ran a hot dog stand and told him kindly "Two chili-dogs if you please."

The man was shivering, being so nervous that the hero would hate his service. Sonic only leaned up against a light pole as more people looked and pointed.

The man finally gave the hedgehog his food saying "That would be one Mobium, sir."

Sonic smiled and pulled out the money. He left and finished both dogs when a duck, about eight years of age, ran up to him saying "Mr. Sonic. Could you please come with me to meet my friends?"

Sonic was taken back, but with a grin shrugged "Why not?"

The duck ran off with Sonic not far behind. They both soon stopped where a small group of animals were waiting with pleaded looks and excitement all around. The one that stood out was a big ape, Judas as everyone knew him.
Soon they were telling the hero stories. Sonic listened mildly interested, the hero would occasionally zone out in boredom. Suddenly they began on talking about a kid they beat up every day. The hero was now listening with intent and disbelief. "A kid? They were beating up a kid?"

Sonic shook his head sharply "Wait, you beat up a kid? Why?"

Judas answered without even pausing to his word choice "Because he`s a freak. He has two dumb tails giving himself the name 'Tails'. He makes everyone look stupid with him "showing off his intelligence."" Judus mocked receiving giggles from his followers. "Anyways, he's a theft. He disserves it."

"Well, if he disserves it why don`t the police do something?"

"They do. They taser him for practice." All the kids burst out laughing. Sonic smiled unconfidently, but no one seems to notice.

The hero decided to get going, but since this was a new island to him after all, he walked back to his plane along the beach. He only stopped once or twice to shake hands, sign autographs, or just talk, mostly to himself for fun. Soon he didn`t see another soul in sight.

In the distance Sonic saw something blue. He was mystified "I don't remember seeing anything blue here. Isn't that where my plane fell?" The hedgehog then sped off toward it.

Sonic only stopped when he saw a small, young, golden fox painting a plane. The plane looked like a brand new spectacular image of his old rusty plane, but the paint job of blue with a silver stripe underneath a word in white "SONIC" spoke improvement.

The Hedgehog froze in shock and only spoke when the fox jumped down to admire his work "What do you think you're doing?"

Tails spun fast around to see his hero who, at this time, had his arms crossed and right foot tapping the sand. Tails had already put the brush back in the paint container so he was now just twisting his fingers together nervously as he mumbled something inaudible.

Sonic raised a brow "What was that?"

"I-I said that I-well... I saw your plane in a wreck... a-and so I fixed it since I'm good at this. I knew you liked blue so I repainted it to match how c-cool you were." Tails lowered his head, lowered his ears, bit his lip, and innocently looked at him.

Sonic smiled. He loved the new paint job. Seeing the hedgehog smile gave Tails a confident boost and continued "I also designed the plane so it would fly faster and it won`t require gas." Tails tried hiding his extra tail as much as he could. The last thing he wanted was his idol to go away despising him.

Sonic walked up to the plane and nodded. He looked back at Tails and asked "Well I have to ask such a fan a question. What`s your name kid?"

"Mi… My name is Tails." The quick thinking fox replied. The fox was worried that Sonic would make fun of his name or he may have heard about him. Unfortunately the fox didn't think clearly.

Sonic was shocked to hear the name and looked behind the fox to see the extra tail and his eyes widened. Tails saw that the hedgehog noticed his mutation and his nervous features came back worst than ever. His ears fell flat against his head, his fingers were tapping his teeth, his left leg swung back and forth, both tails were twisting around the other tightly as if hoping to morph into one. Sonic saw all of these and felt pity for the fox, he was treated the same way on another island (But the hedgehog was never attacked by older men or tased).

Sonic almost wanted to hug the fox, but then he felt a presence behind him. He knew who it was and what they wanted to see. He knew what the entire island wanted to see.

Judas watched as Sonic tensed up in what appeared to be frustration. Judas and his gang watched eagerly.

Sonic was fighting himself of all people. "Do it!"

"No He's only a kid."

"Hmph! So much for the Great Sonic the Hedgehog."

Sonic snapped. His ego had won. Sonic looked at the fox as evil as he could, which came across as sinister to the fox who now had formed tears in his eyes and began to shiver uncontrollably. Sonic didn't care anymore.

The hedgehog shoved Tails into the ground and the fox only succumbed to it. Sonic couldn't hold it in anymore "A gift? A GIFT?! FROM YOU?! A TWO TAILED FREAK THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO BE NORMAL?! Here kid turn into a fake quarter with two tails THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME YOU'LL BE ACCEPTED YOU MONSTER! ALSO A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!"

Tails was now sobbing with a few sniffs there and there as he pulled himself away from the hero. Sonic then kicked dust in the crying fox "Here, something to wipe the tears away you repulsive misshapen. And here's what I think of your stupid gift."

Tails watched in horror as Sonic attacked the plane as if it were an Eggman robot. Tails looked down at a piece of the plane that he had added himself, the part that allowed the engine to run without gas, and picked it up. The fox lost it, he was now officially broken. Miles 'Tails' Prower screamed outwardly and began crying so hard that some from afar would thought it could be laughing. Tails had watched his first most complex, most precious creation be destroyed by the original owner who was the fox's idol and hero.

Sonic looked down at the fox in pity, regret, and sadness, all of them spun around like a boomerang and slammed into him, but such combined feelings are not something to be ignored. Those feelings and combined power of the hero's ego mixed together in a fit of rage, the hedgehog wanted to blame someone besides himself though every ounce of blameworthiness belonged to him. In his anger Sonic charged… right at the poor fox. Tails felt a bam of pain as breathing became harder. The fox stopped flying when he hit a tree and slid down. As the fox got back up a coconut fell off and struck the fox's head. He looked up at the hedgehog that now looked furious "I bet you planted a bomb in that flying death trap anyways, you bastard."

Tails looked up at him feeling his own soul leave his body so that it could go to hell where it is better than this place. Tails jumped up and rotated his tails and shot like a bullet out of there. Sonic turned toward the flaming pile of rubbish that use to be his prized plane and walked over to it. He knelt down and sighed.

Judas and the others ran out while clapping and cheering. Sonic stood and looked proud, but on the inside he was grieving and yearning for the fox to come back who may have only been the best friend he could ever have.

.

Tails stood over a cliff; it was only yesterday when the fox and Sonic met for the first time. Tails had heard that the island threw the hedgehog a party for being rid of the mutant freak. Well the island never thought of that, but Tails had lost all confidence, courage, kindness and generosity he always showed people.

Tails looked down at the rocks that were glimmering toward the points, ready for his body to land upon them. All he had to do was jump and it would be all over. And so… the fox succumbed to his pain and fell off.

The two-tailed fox waited for the pain that would end his suffering, the pain to end this hell, but it never came. He opened his eyes after a few minutes to see that his tails had finally and successfully spun fast enough that he had caught himself in mid fall almost striking the edge of a rock. Tails could not hold it in anymore. He dropped and clutched the object that should have ended his life crying out to a god that he prayed to exist to give him a life to live. A life to love. A life where he was loved.

He wished that he never learned to fly. He wished that he never was born. He wished that the hedgehog never had come to life. He wished Eggman never managed to survive. He wished that SONIC THE HEDGEHOG WOULD DIE, and not by anyone BUT BY HIM! HE WISHED THAT LIFE ITSELF WOULD END! He now knew why no god has ever answered him; it was because it was a devil who loved to see his pain and suffering. This world was full of evil so it only seemed fit to have a demon crushing his soul.

Tails thoughts went straight back to the time Sonic kicked dust in his face, called him names, and then… then destroyed the machine that he loved, and had created just for the hero.

Tails sobbed as he clutched the rock. Clutched it like it was a living being there to help him through the pain. Little did he know that he was clutching Dr. Eggman, not realizing that he was lifted off the rocks. The evil scientist picked him up from where he was spotted. Eggman had no idea why he was crying, but let the fox continue to whimper so that the pain would be released and he would feel better, or the doctor did not care.

Eggman laid the sobbing fox on a table and cuffed him to it so he would not escape, but he knew the fox would not. The two-tailed animal doesn't care if he was alive or not. Either way, it was hell for Miles.

Tails opened his eyes slowly from a restless sleep and he realized it was Eggman who had him. He had no idea how he knew. He just knew. Tails looked up from the table to see a screen that had a red dot and three letters "REC" on them. On the screen appeared Eggman who was now talking to Sonic the Hedgehog.

Tails now felt something new he had never felt before. Anger. Anger and revenge was the only thing on his mind that froze his insides in a boiling effect. Tails thrusted his hands up, braking the cuffs as if it were plain paper. The fox pushed himself off the table and walked to the computer and stopped it. He rewound it to see that the camera spotted what Sonic had done to him. Eggman didn't see this footage otherwise the tape would have stopped at one point so Eggman could see if what the hedgehog had done was true.

Tails began to type into the doctor's files and successfully hacked the Eggman Empire's files. This so called empire was now his to control and not even Eggman can get it back. Tails smiled as he studied the robot plans Eggman made. The fox scoffed at such design flaws and failures. The fox deleted them all and pulled up a file and began his own blueprint.

Tails now knew how to get the hog back… By taking everything he cares about AWAY.
