Awakening

"Can't lose me Egghead!"

The taunt echoed throughout the forest as the aforementioned scientist and his craft rocketed pass the trees, followed closely by two blue and orange blurs.

"We'll see about that hedgehog!" Eggman threw back.

After defeating the scientists most recent plan, Eggman had deiced to flee into the forest in an attempt to lose him and protect the Chaos Emerald he had acquired.

Tails, whom was in the back of the pack spoke into his wrist communicator. "Amy, Knucks, we're approaching the temple, you guys in position?"

"Yep, we're ready!" A feminine voice spoke from the other side, "Just give us the signal when."

"This had better work." Another voice spoke from the communicator.

The trio of them rounded the corner and a large temple came into view, the temple had long sense been abandoned by an ancient tribe and was covered in plant life, vines snaked down its sides and across its flat surfaces.

Sonic quickly picked up speed and passed in front of the egg mobile, causing the craft to swerve to the right to avoid him, it turned to face the temple and moved to pass the entrance.

"Now!" Tails yelled.

No sooner than he had said that word Knuckles jumped out of the entry way and snagged the emerald off the console. Meanwhile Amy had rounded the corner and drew back her hammer. Eggman was so focused on the theft of the emerald that he was caught completely unware of Amy as the hammer connected with the front of the pod, it recoiled back from the force of the impact, directly into Sonic's spin dash.

"Curse you Hedgehog!" Eggman yelled as his now smoking craft elevated itself and rocketed off.

"Nice job guys!" Tails added, "You guys were perfect!"

"Couldn't have done it without your thinking." Amy replied.

"Thanks," he blushed. Tails then turned to the temple's entrance, "Look at this place, its huge!"

"Really makes you think." Sonic replied, "Race you to the top?"

"You're on!"

Sonic darted off at full speed into the temple, leaving a trail of dust in his wake, while Tails quickly flew through a hole in the ceiling.

"Can't those two be serious for one second..." Knuckles deadpanned.

Sonic exited onto the roof just as Tails appeared from a nearby ledge. "I win!"

Tails laughed. "Fair and square, you want to check this place out on the way down?"

"Sure!" Sonic replied, "It looked cool enough."

The interior of the temple was crumbling to pieces from the plant life infesting the cracks in the walls, moss covered the walls in patches.

"This place is awesome!" Tails spoke, "Makes you wonder how they could build something like this." Then his ears picked up on something, almost like someone talking, he couldn't quite make out what it was saying however.

"Must just be imagining things," He thought.

Then he heard it again, clearer this time.

"Come here..." It whispered.

Before he could think about it, Amy and Knuckles entered the chamber they were currently in.

"Reminds me of Angel Island," Amy commented. "Knuckles, is there any chance the Echidnas built this?"

"Maybe," He replied. "Most of their work is near Angel Island, but it's possible."

Sonic then grabbed the Emerald he was carrying and handed it to Tails, "Well we best be getting off. Tails will hang onto the Emerald for now."

"Got it," Knuckles added. "I've got to start heading back as well, the Master Emerald isn't going to protect itself."

"See you guys later!" Amy finalized before heading off.

"Let's go Tails!" Sonic yelled.

"Right behind you!"

By the time they had gotten back to Eggman's base to retrieve the Tornado and flew it back home it was already dark and being tired from the day's events they both went to go to sleep. But Tails couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned in this bed but no matter what he did he just couldn't sleep. He was thinking about the voice from earlier. It had told him to come somewhere, but where. He needed to know. He quietly got out of bed and put his shoes on, he would just be a second. Quietly, he walked downstairs, grabbed a flashlight, and walked out the door. He needed to know more about the voice. Within 30 minutes he had arrived back at the temple. He was just about to enter when he heard a voice behind him.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Startled he turned around and saw Sonic standing behind him.

"Just checking this place out again," He replied.

"Quit lying, I know when somethings bothering you Tails. You're my brother, so tell me, what is it."

Tails sighed, then answered. "When we were here earlier I heard a voice tell me to come here, I just thought it was the wind in the cracks or my imagination before but now I can't sleep until I know what it is."

Sonic thought about what he said then replied, "Alright, but I'm coming with you."

The two of them then entered the temple, Tails with flashlight in hand, and began to search. Then Tails heard the voice again.

"Come here..."

"Sonic, I heard the voice again, it sounds like its coming from one of the levels under us."

"Alright, well let's go look."

Descending the steps they found themselves in a chamber with intricate carvings all over its walls. The voice spoke again.

"Further Down..."

"It's further down," Tails added.

They continued their decent into the temple, passing another two layers of chambers before coming across a large open room.

"Stop," The voice spoke.

Tails stopped in front of a semicircular indentation in the wall, imbedded in the wall was a stone surrounded by runes and symbols he couldn't hope to read.

"Touch the stone," The voice continued.

Tails was suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to touch the stone. He wanted, no, he needed to touch it. Sonic held him back.

"Tails, your starting to scare me." I can't hear a thing."

"How can you not hear it? It's practically screaming! Now let me go!"

Sonic, out of surprise from Tails' suddenly angry turn released him. Tails reached his hand out and place it on the stone. Seconds passed, nothing.

Tails went to walk away from the stone, thinking how stupid he must have looked when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his forehead. He threw both his hands up to his head.

"You alright bud?" Sonic asked.

"My head kills..." Tails replied before falling to his knees. It was the worst pain he had ever felt.

"Ok bud, I'm going to help you st-" Sonic started before being interrupted by a noise.

A blood curdling scream...

Tails had threw his head back and was screaming at the top of his lungs, digging his fingers into the fur on his forehead in pain.

Tails' eyes opened, but instead of the light blue irises Sonic was used to, he saw a very different sight. His eyes were glowing with blue light. The screaming finally ceased, and his eyes returned to normal. He released his hands from his head and stood up.

"Tails..." Sonic whispered.

Tails look uneasy on his feet, stumbling with each step.

"Sonic, I feel dizzy..." Was all he could get off before he collapsed.

So, what did you guys think of the first chapter? What has happened to Tails? What will happen next?
