Tails POV
"RUN MILES RUN!" The words ring in my ears. With no sense of direction, I run. Better beat my tails up. I don't wanna die. I look back. The Robotnik Ship keeps launching missiles. "I'll teach you fools not to mess with Robotnik!" he screams. More missiles. I don't wanna die. "Keep up Miles!" calls my dad. "Yeah," I respond. Wait, where's Mom? "Mom?" I shout. "RRRRUUUUNNNN!" I look back at the village. She's calling to me as she holds an injured Lilliana. "MOOOMMM! LOOK OUT!" I cry. She looks up. Boom. Gone. Both of them. I look back at where I'm going. Tears fill my eyes. At least I have Dad. I don't wanna die.
"You think you can get away?" laughs the evil scientist, "Don't make me laugh." "C'mon Miles, get in the plane," Dad says. "But there's only one seat…" "Get in the plane Miles," Dad repeats. "But Dad what about—" "Fine, let me help you." He picks me up and puts me in the biplanes seat. I look back at the approaching Robotnik Ship. "You're gonna be alright, son." I look up at my father. Tears roll down his bushy cheeks as he straps me in. He starts up the engine. "Go Miles. Get as far away from this island as you can. Your old pop is gonna give Robotnik a lesson." "No but Dad!" "I said go!" He sticks the key into the plane and the engines whir up. The biplane starts going up. "Dad! DAD!" There's no going back now. I don't wanna die. But I don't wanna be alone. "Trying to leave the island? Ha! Not so fast…" The Robotnik Ship launches a missile. Uh oh. Bam. The sound of a whip. Dad's only weapon. Boom. The missile is gone. I was saved. The tears come back. My dad is saving me after I just left him. I didn't even give him help. Well it's not too late. I steer the biplane around. "Son! What are you doing!" "Take this!" I yell and jam a button on the mainframe. I'm glad we installed a machine gun, no wait two, onto the biplane. Boom! A few rounds of fire and the Ship goes down. "Argh! Why you…" Robotnik is done for! Yes! I turn my plane back around and get ready to leave. Wait, Dad! No I can't save him now. I can't go back! Then we'd both be dead. I'm sorry…
I turn back one last time as I watch the island fade away. My peaceful and fun life was leaving me forever. My family was all dead. Mom, Dad, and poor Lilliana… especially Dad. He was with me to the end, and I left him. He saved me. The tears pour out. I cry as loud as I can over the ocean. I wish… I wish my family was still with me. Mom's warm embrace, Dad's workshop and his wisdom and… and Lilliana's dolls and all the other villagers and merchants and even all the kids, even the bullies… I just want them back! Why did Robotnik have to attack the village? Why did he have to take my family? Why did he have to take my life? No, no he didn't take my life. He took my past life. But Dad saved my life. My new life. I guess he gave me a new one. A small grin comes to my face. Well, Dad didn't die in vain. His son was going to be the next best mechanic in the world! I'm gonna continue his legacy! If only he were here to see me start again… "Thanks… Dad…"
Beep…beep…beep…beep… Ugh… Is it that time already?... I stumble up weakly from my bed and yawn. That dream again… oh well. Whatever. I pull the sheets off and climb to the side of the bed. Where are my shoes? Oh yeah, they're on the other side. Ugh… I roll over my bed to the other side and Oof! …onto the floor right on top of my shoes. Nothing like being a weak, two tailed kitsune. I brush myself off and pick a random pair of jeans from the closet. No shirt today, I've got fur. Heh. I stumble into the kitchen and open up my fridge. Just toast and milk, like every morning. I stick a slice of bread into the toaster and I pour a glass of milk and stick it in the microwave. Ding! Ding! There's my breakfast. Time to eat. I wonder what I should do today?
