The Journeys of Tails - Travels in Cocoon

[Before I start with the story, I have to say one thing. This is a mix between the Sonic series and the video game, Final Fantasy XIII. The story actually starts after the events of ff13, about 5 years after, to be exact. This story will mostly be in 3rd person PoV, unless there is a bold name over a section of text with a main characters name. Then it will be in 1st person. You will tell when it is in 3rd person if the text above is head-titled with Nameless sign. You will also notice underlined parts in the heading and as sub-headings. These are locations in which the content takes place, so keep an eye on that. With that in place, enjoy the story.]

Nameless New York City, New York

Tails had just finished the remodeling of the Tornado when a dim light shown through his window. He stepped outside to see what the light was, but when he did, he noticed a cop-car outside of the house he was staying in. The cops said that they were here for Sonic when the light got ever brighter, as if a Chaos Control was induced.

Amy and her friend Annie were out shopping when they noticed the light. Annie was the first to know what it was.

"That must be a Chaos Control" She said softly.

Fort Sill Polo Field, Lawton, Oklahoma

Veil and Elise were at the polo field, enjoying the music of the band playing, when a flash of light, similar to Chaos Control, flashed through the field, blacking out the electricity and sending the two to a new world.

Virginia Highway

Sonic and Pulse were out racing together when something stopped them dead in their tracks. It was a pillar of light, headed straight for them. They both ran the other way, but the light was too fast. It swalloed them up whole.

Palumpolum, Residential District

Hope was enjoying his vacation from school with his dad, Bartholemew, and his old friend, Lightning, when they noticed a blackout and a bright light.

"What was that?" He asked calmly.

"Probably another Cie'Th." Lightning said, grabbing her gunblade. "Not much to worry about."

Lightning looked outside, but the flash got brighter, like the summoning of an Eidolon, or the return of a Fal'Cie She readied her guard for what was to come. Hope just stayed back in the house, Urubutsin in hand, ready to defend his father.

When the light dimmed enough for Lightning to see, the sight was completely foreign to her. It was like she was looking into a new world, just like Cocoon, but in flames. Some parts wer completely frozen over, with hateful winds simply breaking the buildings. It was over in the same instant she saw it. However, it put a fear in her deeper than any fear she ever had.

'Serah, Snow . . . ' She thought as the vision cleared, 'I hope your safe.'

Docks of Oerba, Gran Pulse

The Cie'Th were one thing, but this was completely different. Serah Villiers, Lightning's sister and Snow Villiers' wife, had noticed a beam of light flashing on Cocoon from her porch-seat from Oerba. She had to worry about Vampires and Varcolaci knocking at her door every 5 minutes enough. Now she was worried about her sister in Palumpolum, who was taking care of Hope and guiding his hand through school.

"Claire." She said quietly, to Snow's ear. "I think she might be in for a ride."

"We're visiting in about a week." Snow assured. "We can probably see for ourselves whether she is safe or not."

"I hope she is." Claire said softly before noticing something come up to her house. Suprisingly, it wasn't a Cie'Th. But a small, blue hedgehog and a crimson wolf.
