My very first story…FINISHED!

I feel so happy.

sniff I like to thank my mom, all my friends, and all the other authors who gave me the advice I needed for this story. All you guys rock!

Now, let's see the ending of Brothers United…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A month later…

"Okay, let's try it again."

"I don't know. Maybe I just can't do it…"

"Aw, c'mon, if I can do it, you should be able to!"

Tyler and Tails were just outside Tails's house. Tails had made a spare room for Tyler to stay in, so that he would be able to see him everyday. Lately, Tyler had been trying to show Tails how to be able to use the Chaos Emeralds, just in case of an emergency.

"Alright, just try one more time. First grip the Emerald, but not too hard."

"Alright… If you say so." said Tails. He grabbed the Chaos Emerald that Tyler had kept from before.

"Trust me, you can do it. I was able to use the Emeralds when I was ten!"

"Yeah, but I've never really tried to use the Emeralds before."

"Yes you have. What about that time when you, Sonic, and Knuckles went against Neo Metal Sonic?"

"You really have been following me. But anyway, Sonic was the one who absorbed the Emeralds power. He just transferred it from his body to ours."

"Well, anyone with a brain can use them. And you're the smartest kid there is! You should be able to control them easily."

"Okay…"

"Now, just focus your mind on the Emerald."

Tails closed his eyes, focusing all his thoughts on the Emerald in his hand. The Chaos Emerald didn't do anything, it just remained in his hand. Tails started to sweat, gripping harder on the Emerald.

"Don't try so hard. Let the energy flow into you."

Tails released his grip on the Emerald, but kept his eyes closed as he was still focused. The Emerald was still in his hand, as a faint glow came from it.

Tails eyes opened. "I think it's working!" The Emerald's glow grew bigger, before abruptly shrinking back down to nothing. Tails hung his head. "Man, I'll never be able to use the Emeralds."

"Aw, c'mon. You were doing it, you just got to remember to stay focus. Alright? I guess that's enough practice for today."

Tails handed the Emerald back to Tyler. "Okay, you hungry? I'm famished."

Tyler patted him on back. "Yeah, using the Chaos Emeralds gives you energy, but leaves you drained. C'mon, I'll make you a pizza."

Tails laughed. "You and pizza are like Sonic and chilidogs."

Tyler's ear twitched, as he stopped to turn around. "Speaking of…"

Tails turned around to see Sonic running up. "How do you do that?"

Tyler pointed to his ears. "You can't tell? I got bigger ears than Will Smith!"

Tails raised one eyebrow. "Who?"

"Never mind…"

Sonic had just reached them. "Hey guys, what's going on?"

Tails shrugged. "Nothing much, just Tyler talking about imaginary people… Hey what brings you here?"

"Well, I came to talk to Tyler. I need his Emerald."

Tyler held out his Emerald to Sonic. "Why? Is Eggman back?"

"No, it's something else. Take a look." Sonic pointed out into the sky to the west. Nothing could be seen.

Tails put his hand just above his eyes. "What? I don't see anything."

Tyler stared hard at the sky, and soon his ear started twitching bad. "No, but I can hear it. Sounds real… robotic…-like."

Tails held his finger up. "You mean metallic?"

"Sure, fine. Let's go with that. You got any binoculars, Tails?"

Tails shook his head, while Sonic reached behind his back. "I do!"

Tyler hesitantly took them. "Why do you carry a pair of binoculars?"

"I just got them. I knew you guys would want to see this."

Tyler looked through the binoculars. Through them, he could see some specks out towards space.

"What are those?" Tails motioned for the binoculars, and Tyler handed them to him. Tails looked through them, before handing them back to Sonic.

"I don't really know, "said Sonic. "But I'm going to check it out. It looks sorta like an army, so I'm making sure they're friendly."

"But why do you need my Emerald?"

Sonic took out the other six Emeralds from his quills. "Because, if it's not so friendly, I need to give them a nice welcome."

Tyler got excited. "Can I come with?"

Sonic shrugged his shoulders. "I guess."

"Alright, road trip!"

Tails pouted. "Man, how come I always get left out?"

Tyler put an arm around Tails's shoulders. "Well, what do you think I'm teaching you how to use the Emeralds for? For fun?"

Sonic snickered. "That would make sense."

"Oh, ha ha!" replied Tyler sarcastically.

Sonic raised a thumb up. "I know. Let's go!"

Tyler walked to Sonic. "Alright!"

Open your heart, it will be alright!

Keep on moving, we just hold on tight,

Now you got a trio of music talent for your money,

JG's vocs, JS's mixin' and BJ's styles close behind.

The Chaos Emeralds floated in the air, and circle Sonic and Tyler. Just like before, the Emeralds spun faster and faster, as Sonic and Tyler went through their transformation. Sonic's fur turned yellow, his eyes went red, and his quills slanted up.

You're going through the town at the speed of sound,

Breaking down all barriers and steppin' onto new grounds.

It's what we know, it's what we do, can't you see?

So open up your heart, cause it'll set you free, yeah!

Tyler turned bright yellow-orange, his bangs slanted upwards as well, and his eyes turned yellow. They both hovered above the group, before shooting into the air, leaving a streak of yellow and orange behind them. All of a sudden, the orange streak flew past Tails and headed back into Tails's house. In a second, it returned to Tails's side, revealing Super Tyler.

If it won't stop, there will be no future for us.

Its heart's tied down by all the hate, gotta set it free!

"Pizza's in the oven. Remember to leave me half!" He blasted off back to where they headed before, disappearing outta sight.

I know it's a one way trail, tell me now how long this will last!

Close my eyes and fell them burn, now I see what I gotta do!

Open your heart, it's gonna be alright!

Tails couldn't help but laugh.

"He's such a loon. But he's my loon… and my big brother."

Open your heart! Yeah!

Open your heart!

Tyler was still flying straight, but turned his head to look back at Tails, who was a speck on the ground. 'I promise you, Tails. I will never let anything bad happen to you. Ever.'

Yeah, yeeaahh…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
