A Captain's Tail

Marine's Story

Chapter 1: Ship Happens

It have been a month since Dr. Starline's defeat at the hands of the Sol Queens, Blaze and Tangle. Since that day, Marine had been residing in the Chaos Dimension alongside her good friend, Miles 'Tails' Prower. She has been holding up in the fox's workshop since then acting as a helping hand for him on more than a few occasions. However, this time was going to be different.

Marine was resting on the roof of the workshop snapping her fingers igniting a flame at her fingertips every other time. "What I wouldn't give for a good ol' Adventure right now." Just then her Miles Electronic started to go off. She grabs it answering the call. "Oy, Tails. Whatcha got going on dis time?"

Tails wipes his forehead some. "Feel like coming down to the docks for this one? I think you're going to like what I had built."

"I'll be down as soon as possible, mate." She hands up as she jumps down from the roof slowing her descent with a bit of air. The raccoon took off for the docks eager to see what her friend had whipped up this time.

Once at the docks, Marine looked around for Tails not seeing a sign of him anywhere. "This is where he asked me to see him, ain't it?"

"Marine! Behind the rocks!" Tails' voice could be heard from behind the rocks.

"There he is." She runs over to the rocks and moves them aside with her control of the earth. Once clear, she gazed in awe at the sight. "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle."

Sitting in the water in front of her was what looked to be a pirate ship. It was entirely crafted out of wood and metal and had a canvas sail with a skull and raccoon tails in place of the crossbones.

"Wait, where are ya, mate?"

Tails pokes himself out from the crow's nest of the ship. "I'm up here!"

Marine propells herself up to the crow's nest using a large just of air. "You built this?"

"Yep. I did a little research on these kinds of ships and got to work on a little something for both of us."

"Us? This is for both of us?"

"You are the captain, Marine. What's a captain without her ship?" Tails smiled a bit at his statement.

The raccoon hugs him tightly. "How did I get lucky to have a first mate like you, Tails?"

Tails blushes a bit smiling. "I figured we could use this to sail across the ocean. There's some uncharted territory I was thinking of checking out."

Marine puts the fox down smiling. "Sounds like a plan to me, mate. All we'll need is a crew for this voyage."

"I do have a few ideas, but let's meet with them first before we jump to conclusion."

"Oy, good idea. A good captain needs a good crew that stands by them." She slides down the mainmast and onto the main deck.

Tails flies down landing beside her. "Our first stop is Cream's cottage."

"Got it. Race ya there." She takes off riding an air sphere.

"Wait! That's not fair!" Tails follows behind her only slightly catching up to her.
