Okay, here it is! My first chap of my first STH fanfic rewritten! I was planning to do this for a while after Elise gave me that hint. Of course, Violett still appears a bit suddenly, but I hope it's better than how it used to be. Thanks to Speedlion for coming up with this! You're a great pal. Anyways, let's start the story!

I do not own Sonic the hedgehog. All rights belong to Sega!

A fight, a fox and hedgies

Sometimes, two people meet. They don't even have to be people, they can be two totally different creatures who usually have nothing to do with each other. And then, they don't part ever again. If they do, the hearts of the two will forever be filled with sorrow. Two people, two creatures, two life forms that meet, are destined for each other. Every creature in the world has such a counterpart. But even if they are destined for each other, they sometimes never meet or destiny will tear them apart. Of course, you can fall in love with another, but it will never be as strong and binding as with the true counterpart. There will forever be a hole in every living creature that has never met him or her. This story is about such destined love, about the magic inside every person, about friendship and trust and much, much more.

One of the many stories in this story is about a young fox; a fox that also carries the burden of not being with his destined love. He has already met her, but death and perhaps destiny has pulled them apart. Even worse, the young fox was forced to kill his beloved one in order to save the rest of the universe. The fox would have definitely chosen his love over the world, but it was because he loved her that he was able to kill her. She was the only one able to stop the enemy and our young fox knew that she would never have been happy if he hadn't done it. She would have blamed herself forever that the world went down. But even with this knowledge, it takes an incredibly strong heart to do what that young fox had done. Yes, Miles Prower, his friends' called him Tails, had the strongest heart amongst all his friends. And yet, the burden is still there, bigger than that of any other person who is not with his destined one. Ever since Tails had lost Cosmo, he has not been the same. He stayed away from his machines he used to take so much care of and was always near trees and plants. He looked after the little garden in front of his house with lots of tenderness, although he hadn't laughed or even smiled and had hardly talked to anybody since. However, all of this was about to change; Tails spirit was about to return.

Like often, Tails was in his garden again and looked sadly at a plant he tried to take care of, though it welted after only a few days. He had tried his best to take good care of it, since the flower reminded him of Cosmo. But it didn't last. Just like his love, this flower had welted in its own way. Tails was close to tears. It didn't matter how strong his heart was, Tails was still a child and children cry. Next to that, letting yourself cry is one sign of strength. The sadness, the hole, the pain … it was there and it would never leave. Everything Tails had left of his love was a seed. Tails was glad she had left anything at all. He was glad he had something that would remind him of her. But he wanted more, which is why he planted the flower and which is why he was so sad that it welted. Tails was sitting there for a long time, just looking sadly at the welting plant.

But piece was not meant to last. Tails just so happened to be the best friend of the legendary hero of Mobius, who also just happened to have quite a number of foes. And the probably most annoying foe of all was Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Aka Eggman. Some would have said he came out of the blue, others would have said it was totally predictable, but he came in his Egg Mobile, with a plan up his sleeve. Tails ears twitched when he heard Eggman approaching and he turned around to face him.

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Eggman laughed. "It's been way too peaceful here, so I decided to lure Sonic out of his corner by attacking you! What do you say to that plan?"

Tails didn't say anything. He just looked at Eggman, his expression not changing even the slightest bit, making Eggman's grin turn from a grin to a frown all the way down to a scowl. Angrily, he pressed a few buttons of his machine, making one small canon appear on each side.

"What do you say now? I'll fire these and you'll have to fight!"

Still, Tail's expression didn't change. He didn't care anymore. Whether Eggman killed him or not, whether Sonic would come or not … he didn't care anymore. Eggman could do what he wants. Eggmann noticed Tails still didn't react and his scowl turned into a snarl.

"Very well then!" He spat. "Have it your way!"

And he fired eight missiles.

Tails did not give any signs of moving. He merely closed his eyes, waiting for the missiles to hit him and bring him to Cosmo. Closer and closer they came and there was no sign of Sonic anywhere. Only a few more seconds and he would be dead. Eggman started panicking as well. He had relied on Tails evading, on Sonic appearing, on anything to happen. He never had the real intention to hurt anyone. He hadn't planned on letting Tails die. But no one came. Tails was going to die.

Then, Tails opened his eyes.

What he saw there was not what any of the two had foreseen. The very first thing Tails noticed was bright and strong purple light, filling the whole area. The next thing he saw was a shadow and the creature that caused the shadow, but what exactly it was he could not determine even though it stood right in front of him. He then saw that the purple light held off the missiles and their explosions, but with every missile hitting the wall of light and exploding against it, the wall got weaker and the creature buckled a bit more.

The barrier held six missiles; the seventh explosion broke it and made the creature fall back on Tails while eight missiles went at the two without any barrier to block them. But it never hit. Tails felt the weight from the creature lifted of him and straightened up to see what's going on. The missile was surrounded by turquoise aura and even though it went full speed, it didn't move an inch. Next to him, he heard heavy panting and remembered that someone had saved him. He turned to around to look at the person and saw something he never expected to see; a female, purple hedgehog.

Her spines were in combed down in Amy's style, only were they much longer and thinner. The front two spines were tied back and held by a weird crown with a jewel on front. A white dress with a bit of turquoise on it, looking like a wedding gown if it hadn't been for the weird symbols on the turquoise parts, covered most of her body. Its sleeves were long and wide as was its fall. The female's hands were stretched out in front of her, a golden ring floating at the tip of her fingers. Her face was strained with concentration; sweat was dripping of her face. Whatever she was doing, she held the missile where it was, saving both their lives. But it was more than obvious she wouldn't be able to keep it up much longer. Her exhaustion grew by the second, her concentration fade and her hold on the deadly weapon slip away. But Tails couldn't help. Even if he wanted to, there wouldn't have been any way for him to help. He hadn't been able to save Cosmo; he wouldn't be able to save the purple one either.

The female closed her eyes, gathering all her strength to keep the missile were it was. Pushing it away would have been out of question, she lacked that strength. But no matter how hard she tried, she started losing her grip on it and slowly, death made its way towards her. A split second and all three knew nobody would die today when, a blue ball shot right through the missile, destroying it completely. The female broke her concentration and fell to the ground in exhaustion.

The blue ball meanwhile had opened itself, landing right on the floating seat that caused all this drama. All foxes and humans and hedgehogs looked at what used to be the ball.

"Missed me, Eggman?" Sonic asked in all his blue glory, his usual cocky grin plastered in his face.

"Now look who it is! Came to spoil my plans again, Sonic?"

"Well, it's not like there's anything more fun to do these days."

"How very true. And there's nothing more fun for me then to watch you fall into your own grave!"

Sonic didn't quite know what his arch-enemy was talking about, but both, Tails and the female beside him did. While Sonic and Eggman were talking, Eggman had flown upwards to a height where not even Sonic could jump off the Egg Mobile without taking any harm. And while Sonic still tried to figure it out, Eggman merely made a roll in midair, throwing Sonic of the ship.

"WHOOAAAA" He yelled, not quite ready for his head to say hello to the floor.

Next to Tails, the female moved again, using the same turquoise aura she had used before to catch Sonic's fall. She grunted and buckled under Sonic's weight, but enabled him a soft landing nonetheless, before falling back on floor. While all that happened, Eggman hadn't waited for Sonic to recover and had shot a beam right at Sonic and his savior. Sonic noticed and jumped out of the way, taking the female with him.

"So, who do I have the honor of fighting with?" Sonic asked while evading one shot after the other, the female in his arms.

"It's a sign of good manners to introduce yourself first", was the answer Sonic got.

"Sure thing, lady. I'm Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog."

"Violett Ocean the hedgehog! Very pleased to meet you"

Sonic set her down now that they were in a safe place, but Violett had already recovered and so went to fight with Sonic.

"That went fast", Sonic grinned while dodging another energy blast.

"I recover quickly."

"So what was that whoodoo thing you saved me with?"

"It's called telekinesis. It's the ability to move objects through a mix of concentration and a special kind of magic."

"Sounds cool."

"Perhaps, but my telekinesis is rather weak. It merely surpasses my physical strength by a minimum while the average telekinesis is three to fifteen times the physical strength."

"Bummer."

"Not really! I am a mage so I have a lot of other powers as well."

"You're a what?"

"A mage. That is the short cut for magician."

"You mean something like a witch?"

"Yes, something like that."

"Cool!"

While Violett and Sonic chatted, evading one blast after another, Eggman almost went crazy with frustration. He shot one beam after another and at some point, even shot more than one at a time. That went on until Eggman was out of the energy he needed for the blasts. He cursed so badly, Sonic started feeling a bit uncomfortable, until Eggman started firing laser shots at the two hedgehogs and he shot plenty of them at a time.

"Aww, come on", Sonic said, his ears dropping. How would he be able to dodge that many lasers at once?

"Focus!" Violett suddenly commanded. "Look at the laser canons and you'll notice a pattern in the shots. That makes it easier to evade."

Sonic did as he was told and soon enough, he had no problems dodging the lasers either. Not until the two subconsciously moved towards Tails again did any of them have any problems. When Tails was also in shooting range, Eggman fired a whole lot of mini missiles. None of them actually hit Tails, but he noticed one of the missiles flying straight at his flower.

Not having enough time to react, he could only watch as the missile approached his most valuable flower. Sonic may not have noticed, but Violett did. Her eyes narrowed and before anyone knew what was going on, the missile exploded right in front of the flower, leaving it unharmed.

"What on earth …" Sonic murmured and even Eggman stopped firing missiles.

Every single eye was on Violett, who stood upright, looking directly at Eggman. For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence until Violett talked.

"Alright", she said. "It is time I put an end to this."

Violett stretched her arms to the side and hundreds of little light balls appeared around her body. Eggman first flinched at the sight of that, but then decided to shot all his remaining mini missiles at the new purple pest. Violett moved both her arms forward and all the light balls shot towards the approaching mini missiles. They collided and exploded. But Violett had more light balls then Eggman had missiles and so, about thirty missiles appeared out of the dust the explosions had created, heading straight towards Eggman only to stop right in front of his face. Eggman was so shocked he was unable to breathe, let alone move.

"Perhaps you should get out of here. You wouldn't want to get hurt, now would you?"

Eggman grit his teeth but did not dare to move until Violett made the light balls disappear. Then he turned around and flew off as fast as possible.

"You'll regret this!" He yelled while he disappeared.

Even after Eggman left, neither Sonic nor Tails dared to move. Violett was not affected by this atmosphere however, and turned around to Tails' little flower. She touched it and closed her eyes, concentrating for a moment. While doing this, the flower regained color and slowly, it even straightened back up. And still, both boys were speechless.

"How did you do that?" Tails finally spoke.

Just to make that clear: This history of this story is based only on Sonic X. None of the games, other series or Comics have anything to do with it until I decide to bring them in, which won't be happening for quite some time. What happened before Sonic X or between the episodes is completely made up by me. I ignored the ending where Tails was smiling again, because my story wouldn't fit otherwise. Hope that's okay with you.
