A metal plated figure strode through the hall of his flagship, thoroughly pleased with today's events. As he paced through the halls, he was greeted by many Mobians that helped to operate the magnificent ship. The standard uniform was worn by all; a black combat suit with symbols on each shoulder. On the left shoulder was sewn their rank, while the right shoulder held the brand of their organization: a white circle with two white streaks spiraling around it.

"Greetings, Dark Spinel," a nearby eagle addressed the armored figure. "Are today's results of your liking?"

Dark Spinel nodded, his plated spines shaking as well. Their extinguishing of the feeble planet that was once their home had been most prosperous, and resounding was heard throughout the ship. Waving to the eagle, he said, "Walk with me, Commander Raurin."

Raurin saluted the armored hedgehog before following the order and walking beside him. "This will have been our first step towards uniting the universe, Dark Spinel." Raurin continued, exemplifying their eradication of the weak planet.

Dark Spinel nodded once more, looking outside a nearby window and into the depths of space. "Indeed, it is a great victory." He admitted, admiring their performance. With the awesome might of their Blue Typhoon battleship, made more amazing by the ships that accompanied it in its fleet, they had completely crushed all resistance.

"Has the Master Emerald been firmly secured?" the armored hedgehog then asked.

"It has, sir." Raurin confirmed. "The Master Emerald is in the powering chamber, and one of your leaders, Red Beryl, is supplying power with it."

As they arrived at the bridge, Dark Spinel nodded. "Excellent," he murmured while gazing toward the view he received outside of the bridge's front window. Below, he saw a ravaged planet, glazed over with fire and ash. There could be no life supported on the planet, as all sources of possible survival had been incinerated.

"This will forever be remembered," Dark spine spoke, relishing the moment, "… as the day when we broke free from our planet's bounds. When we rose above ourselves, and conquered all. Today, it is only one planet. Someday, all of the universe will be united under one districting power."

Raurin nodded, looking at him with utmost respect, before a thought occurred. "Sir, this would be your rule, correct?"

"Incorrect, Commander," Spinel denied. From his stand point on the bridge, he was able to look back and see the corridor to the powering chamber. He could see the Master Emerald's distinctive green glare from even there. "On the day when our mission is complete, you will understand."

Raurin reluctantly took his answer with acceptance. "And, what of our Planet Egg?" He then asked to their leader.

"It has been taken," the hedgehog responded, directing Raurin's attention to a small pedestal which it stood upon. The green, egg-shaped gem depicted spiraling galaxies inside of it while crystals began to grow off the edges of it.

"What about the fox, sir?" Raurin questioned, "He was the only one who escaped."

Dark Spinel only laughed in spite. "The fox is of no concern to us, but we need those Chaos Emeralds. We of the Gemmarex will easily hunt him down, when the time comes."

[Now Playing: "Canon in D" by: Mike Strickland]

It was late at night when a quartet of sisters could be seen, sitting atop a hill. These sisters –all being of the Seedrian race; females being known as 'Petali' –hadn't a care in the world. Tonight though, was scheduled by the universe to be a special night.

"When will it start, Galaxina?" One of the young girls spoke; her blue eyes glistening in the moonlight. She wore a green dress, highlighted with white petals to form the skirt which were also lined with green. Atop her breast, she wore a red gem; an amulet of some kind. In her green hair, two budded roses protruded, and the hair only dropped to chin level.

"I'm not sure, Cosmo." The sister named Galaxina answered. She wore a similar dress, colored blue with white petals for the skirt, and a green amulet was worn over the dress. Her blue, shoulder length hair was adorned with a single, large white flower, its five petals extending over her hair. The orange stigma perfectly contrasted to her purple eyes. "All we know is that it's predicted to come tonight."

"What if we've already missed it?" Another sister –named Starla –suggested. She had dark green hair, styled similarly to Cosmo's, though the bangs hung over her eyes. She had two purple buds in her hair, which appeared to be violets, and her dress was purple to say the least, as well as the petals that made up her skirt. Poised on her dress was an azure amulet. "Maybe it's too late! What if it already…"

"I'm sure it's fine, Starla." The final sister –Daisy –answered. Her dress had a fall scheme, with a reddish-brown dress, while the white petals were highlighted with orange. She had a yellow amulet on her chest to match her golden hair, which was also cut down to her chin. However, she had two locks of hair that extended outward, behind her head as well and she had two bulging brown buds atop her head. "Father's scientists are rarely wrong."

As they waited, gazing up into the stars with hopeful expressions, their reward was finally given. As though the heavens were falling, bright streaks of light began to grace the night sky. "Look, the meteor shower is starting!" Galaxina pointed out.

Without a moment's notice, Daisy held her hands together and closed her eyes. "What are you doing, Daisy?" Cosmo asked, gazing at her sister in wonder. Why would someone want to close their eyes for such an extravagant event?

"Don't you know, little sister?" Daisy spoke with a hint of surprise. "Mother told us that if you make a wish during a meteor shower, it'll come true."

Cosmo's eyes were alight with amazement. Any wish at all? She thought innocently as she gazed back at the streaking lights, before clasping her hands together as well.

Soon, the four sisters were all praying to the stars for their hearts' desires. When they had all their thoughts expressed, the sisters opened their eyes to lay witness to a streak of light that seemed larger than the rest, and it was growing. "Hey, what's that?" Starla asked, observing the growing light.

As Galaxina studied it, she soon came to a conclusion about the comet. "It's coming straight for us!" She shouted, signaling for all of them to duck down.

The streaking meteorite whizzed overhead, and the Petali sisters could feel the heat emanating from it. A moment later, the light died down and gave way to a huge crash in its wake.

Cosmo slowly peeked up from her prone position and saw that in the epicenter of the crash was a small pod, just big enough to hold a single person. She motioned for her sisters to stand up and they all clambered down into the crater, wanting to see what exactly was inside of the pod.

As they peered at the pod, a hissing sound came from it, making Galaxina shudder in fright. Steam seemed to be coming from one end of the pod as a door opened up, revealing a figure which appeared to be a two tailed fox, clutching onto a small sack as if for dear life.

With this analysis brought shaking to Daisy as she hid behind Galaxina, wanting her older sister for protection. "Galaxina, is that a… animal?" She asked, shivering from behind the blue-dressed Seedrian.

Galaxina nodded, examining the figure. "That's an animal if I ever saw one." She confirmed, confused by her younger sister's fright.

"Didn't father say that animals are mean to us?" Daisy asked, continuing to stare at the creature with anxiety.

"Not all animals, Daisy." Galaxina corrected her, "Only the ones that we had our most recent war with."

There was a pause, with complete silence beside the fox murmuring things in his slumber. When Cosmo had taken enough of the silence, she shouted out, "We can't just leave him here! We have to take him home!"

They all looked at her in surprise, not having expected such a noble suggestion from the youngest of them all. Cosmo was only ten years old after all. But having heard the mature suggestion from her youngest sibling inspired Galaxina to walk over to the pod and carefully extract the body.

As she held the fox in her arms, she noticed the physique which insinuated that he was indeed male. She chuckled at what her mother would think when they brought home a two-tailed, male fox.

"Alright girls, let's go." Galaxina ordered and the quartet began the short walk to a mansion in the distance, with their unconscious companion in tow.

Tails ran through the metal halls of a battleship, trying to escape what was bound to catch him sooner or later. He panted, almost out of breath while he clung tight to a small satchel. He leant up against a wall, thinking that maybe he had finally put enough distance between him and his pursuer.

He then snapped his eyes open and remember who was chasing him. No amount of distance was enough; he had to completely avoid him. As he continued running for his life, he rounded a corner and saw a pink hedgehog running toward him.

"Amy!" He shouted to her, seeing the large gash in her side. When the distance had finally closed between the two, Amy fell into his arms and he examined her wound. It looked really bad; she could bleed out any moment now.

"Tails, listen to me." She spoke with a raspy voice, tears flowing down your eyes. "Run away Tails. Run away and never come back."

Tails gasped as he heard her request. "No Amy! I won't leave you behind, you're my friend!" He simply denied, with tears of his own beginning to stain her red dress.

"It's too late for me, Tails." Amy quietly muttered, "Go; save yourself."

"But, what about you?" Tails shouted, uncaring for whether or not someone was listening. "I can't just let him find you!"

Amy's eyes began to flutter as she said a few words, "I'm just dead weight to you, Tails. You have to… get out of here…"

Tails waited, wanting to hear what she had to say, but slowly realized that she was already too far gone. "No," Tails muttered as he sat there with her corpse. "No Amy! Please, don't go! I need help! Who did this to you?"

His final question was answered as an armored figure stepped through the door. Tails twitched his head in the direction of the figure to see a metal plated hedgehog unveiled through the door; his right handed gauntlet was stained with blood.

"How could you?" Tails yelled at the figure. "Why did you have to do these things? I TRUSTED YOU SONIC! WHY DID YOU DO IT?"

His questions went unanswered as the figure approached. Then, everything went black…

/\/\/\/\|\/\/\/\/

"NO!" Tails shouted as he jolted up from sleep. It had been a nightmare… but that nightmare was only a fraction of the memory that he had of that event.

He padded his hands against the surface which he'd lied down upon and felt that it was soft… squishy, even. One thing was for sure; it wasn't the cold seat of his pod that he'd expected. As his vision cleared up, he noticed that he'd been sleeping in what seemed to be an average house.

Was I dreaming? Tails thought as he stood up, walking around the room. He then thought of one possibility that made him gasp, What if none of it ever happened? Maybe all of it was a dream!

With that thought in mind, Tails ran out of the room, and into the foyer of what seemed to be a mansion. Not caring for his current whereabouts, he ran through the halls. "SONIC!" He shouted, cupping his hands around his mouth to echo his voice. "ANYBODY?"

He heard a lazy yawn and turned quickly, hoping it was one of his friends. When he realized that the woman was not anyone he knew, or not of any race he knew, he had to ask, "Excuse me ma'am, I'm looking for someone."

The woman had ice blue eyes, with matching hair that extended down to her heels and a single five-petal flower sat atop her head with a yellow stigma. Two vines grew out of the stigma, flowing down as far as her hair did. She wore a fine white dress, with gold highlights at the wrist and neck, while green outlined the petals that made up her skirt. "Ah, so you're the boy that the girls brought in." She mused, while examining him.

"I-I'm sorry ma'am, but I'm looking for someone." Tails stuttered, looking around frightfully." I'm looking for a person by the name of 'Sonic the Hedgehog'."

The woman looked at him confusedly. "I'm sorry child, but animals seldom live on planet Greengate; let alone hedgehogs."

"Planet Greengate?" Tails shouted in surprise, since to his knowledge, he was still on Mobius.

"Yes," The woman answered, "Your pod crash-landed on this planet last night, and it looked pretty banged up."

Tails' eyes widened in shock while his pupils shrank. "My… pod…" he muttered, before all of the horrible memories came back. In an instant, the death of hundreds flashed before his eyes, and Amy's limp body was once again held in his arms. He could finally take no more, and simply fainted.

Tails fell backward, and into the arms of a reptile-like creature –the male species of Seedrian: Thorndrigans. His skin was a pale purple color, over which he wore a dark blue robe. Atop his head, peaking above his flowing amethyst colored hair, were two large, cone shaped brown thorns. "Hertia, am I to assume that this is the boy that our daughters brought in?" He asked the Petali woman, thusly named 'Hertia'.

"He is indeed, Lucas." She answered, knowing her husband's very thoughts.

Lucas gave a distrusting glare to the two-tailed fox kit in his arms. "But honey, he's a…"

"An animal, yes," Hertia finished his sentence for him. Looking at the kit now, she saw that he was simply a young boy who was in need of help. "Still, I don't think he poses any threat."

Though the Thorndrigan was still spiteful of animals, he decided to take his wife's word and he walked down the hall to return the boy to his bed.

[Now Playing: "Cristofori's Dream" by: David Lanz]

A few hours later, Hertia and Lucas entered the guest's room to find that all of their daughters were waiting for him to wake up again. Hertia sighed as she noticed all of their downcast expressions, feeling down herself. "Girls, he was pretty tired when he fainted this morning." She reminded them. "He may not wake up for some…"

She was cut off by a moan from their unexpected guest as he tossed and turned on the bed. The kit soon fluttered his eyes open and cradled his head as a headache ensued. As the blurriness finally cleared from his vision, he remembered where he was, and the things that had passed. "Are you okay?" Cosmo asked him, looking at him with concerned eyes.

When the fox brought his eyes upon her, he nodded. "I… I think I'm fine," He groggily answered, looking slowly around the small, adequate bedroom. "Who are you people?" He suddenly asked, filled with curiosity as to who was taking care of him. Introductions slowly went around, until the fox was well acquainted with everyone.

"And, who are you?" Lucas asked.

The fox shuddered at the sound of his edgy voice, as if it held some kind of malice. When he'd gained his strength back, he told them, "My name is Miles Prower."

Daisy chuckled as he heard his name. "What are you, a speed limit?" She asked, causing Miles cringe in response. Galaxina nudged her with an elbow and shook her head, signifying that the fox didn't like the joke. Nonetheless, Daisy still followed up with, "That can't be your real name, can it?"

Once again, Galaxina nudged the fall-styled Seedrian, and gave her a disapproving glare. It was a few moments before Miles spoke again. "That's just my real name," he said, confirming that he had another name. "My friends call me…" he faded off, as though he had brought up a bad memory. The Seedrian family could see his eyes squeeze shut for a moment before he continued, "My friends call me 'Tails'."

Daisy was about to speak up until she saw the two tails that protruded from his rear end, silencing her speech. "Well Miles, why did your pod land on this planet?" Lucas continued to interrogate, which seemed to only scare the kit even more.

Tails stammered when he answered, "W-well, I'm not exactly sure. I remember having bumped my head on something inside the pod while flying through a meteor shower. My evacuation course must've been thrown off, and I landed here."

As Lucas absorbed this information, he asked one final question. "And, what were you evacuating from?"

Tails froze up. What could he tell them? Would they believe he'd just been in a disaster? Would they believe anything? "I'd be better off not saying," Tails sighed as he looked back into Lucas' firm glare. "It's something I don't want to involve you in…"

Lucas narrowed his glare even more as he began to approach him. "What are you hiding, boy?" He questioned spitefully. Tails could only let tears fall from his eyes as he waited for the chastising.

"Lucas!"

Tails opened his eyes to see Hertia scolding her husband with a fiery look in her eyes. "He's on a planet that's completely alien to him! You can't just immediately ask for every little thing!"

Lucas sighed and smiled softly, agreeing with his wife, if only to save face. "Okay Hertia, okay." He then looked back toward Tails with a smirk and said, "I'm going to want to hear about that later though, okay?"

Seeing that they had come to an understanding, Tails smiled and slowly got up from the bed. He then went to feel around his tails… and found that his satchel was gone. He gasped in shock, hyperventilating with concern as he began to panic. "Where is it?" He asked aloud, searching around the small room.

"What are you looking for, Tails?" Starla asked while bending down to see where he was looking.

"I'm looking for a small, brown sack." He explained, still concerned about said sack's whereabouts. He then spread his arms out with about a foot of distance between the arms, "It was about this big."

"Oh," Galaxina blurted out, having figured out where the item was. "We left the sack in your pod, since we didn't think it was too important."

Immediately, Tails made headway for the halls, reaching the foyer and bursting out the door, soon followed by the Seedrian family. "Where exactly did my pod land?" He asked, while looking around at the scenery. It was very peaceful, with beautiful grasslands extending across the fields he was looking at. In the distance, he could see the skyline of a modernized city.

Galaxina then walked up the hill next to him and pointed to a small crater near the base of the hill. In the center was a spherical object that fit the bill of his pod, with the front hatch still open. Tails quickly made his way to the epicenter of his pod's crash and looked inside of it frantically.

All his worries were ceased when he retrieved the sack. Sighing with relief, he slowly shuffled back up the hill, with his satchel in hand.

[Stop Music]

"What's so important about the sack, Tails?" Daisy inquired, looking at it with confusion. "It's just a dirty, raggedy, old…"

"That's enough, Daisy." Galaxina halted her string of unintentional insulting of the sack. "I think he understands."

Tails chuckled as he reached inside of the sack. "It's not the bag that's important," He negated her original question, "It's what's inside that counts."

He then emptied the contents unto the ground and revealed seven gems, colored red, yellow, green, dark blue, light blue, purple, and white. "These are the seven chaos emeralds," Tails said, referring to the gems upon the ground. An unearthly power seemed to be coming from them as the fox kit explained, "These gems hold immense amounts of power, which can be used to power machinery, people, and other things. When a person who is in control of his emotions takes control of all seven, they are said to become invincible."

Tails then sighed as he looked at the powerful crystals with a sad look. "These gems are the cause and solution to my problem."

"Is this problem the reason you had to use an evacuation pod?" Lucas asked, receiving a nod from Tails. "Why do you tell us about it? Maybe we can help you with it?"

Tails shook his head, gathering up the emeralds into the bag. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you get involved. It'd be too dangerous."

Then, out of the blatant blue, Tails asked, "Do you have a sort of garage or mechanical workshop I could use? I need to clear my head with some light work."

Confused by the request, but not willing to question it, Lucas waved his hand and ordered the kit to follow him. The two soon came upon a huge building that towered over the two in height. With area concerned, the building could easily hold several football fields. "I'll admit; it may be a bit big." Lucas said, rubbing the back of his in embarrassment. "What do you think, Miles?"

He looked at the kit to see that he seemed absolutely infatuated with his workshop. "It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" He exclaimed, almost wanting to run up to its door and plant a huge kiss on it. "I promise I'll take good care of it!"

Without further ado, Tails rushed inside of the workshop and began working. Lucas was somewhat surprise by the kid's eagerness to work, but he merely shrugged it off and walked away. "Crazy kids," he muttered while walking back toward the house.

As he returned to the house, he was met by his youngest daughter with a single question, "Where's Tails?"

"He's working in the garage, Cosmo," He told her while thinking back to the kid. "I don't know a single kid in the world who works with mechanics to ease his mind."

Cosmo pondered about their guest before coming to a certain thought. "Don't you think he's hungry?"

"I suppose he might be, honey." Lucas admitted while seeing the kindness in that thought. "Why don't you have your mother make something for him?"

Cosmo nodded with a smile as he ran off to her mother, who was already preparing a large bowl of salad. Hertia mixed a cup of dressing that Cosmo assumed to be Cesar dressing. She was proven correct when her mother added a couple croutons to the salad. "Mother, I think Tails might want some lunch." She interrupted her mother's cooking, and Hertia peered down at her daughter.

With a smile, she took tongs from the side her kitchen counter and began putting salad into a small bowl. "Lucky for Miles, I just finished making the salad. You can take this bowl to him, Cosmo."

She nodded and quickly ran out of the house, the bowl of salad and a fork in hand. When she arrived at the garage and opened the door, she had to struggle to keep the salad bowl in her hand. In the middle of the room was a huge frame for what appeared to be some sort of space ship.

"Tails, how did you do this in five minutes?" Cosmo shouted, looking at the kit who was working on one of the rows of framing.

The kit chuckled as he jumped down from the frame and landed gracefully on the ground. "There are a lot of things you can do with a Chaos Emerald, Cosmo." He explained. "For one, I can slow down the flow of time. However, I'm not as attuned to chaos energy as some of my friends were, so I can't use it very well."

All of a sudden, Tails' downcast expression returned, having uprooted several memories that he didn't want resurfacing. Cosmo noticed this and rubbed his back in hopes of comforting him. "How long will it take to finish the ship?" She asked.

Tails gave a calculating expression toward his ship frame and said, "Given that I can use chaos control to slow down time, it should take me three days..." He faded off toward the end as a thought occurred to him. Three days, he imagined, that's all it takes to change everything…

"Well, if you need anything, you know where to find us." Cosmo offered while walking out of the workshop. She swore she heard a soft "thank you" as she exited, leaving the kit to himself.
