Chapter One- Mayday and Chaos. (TAILS)

"All systems at full capacity..." The computerized voice said, devoid of emotion. A blue sky splashed with soft, low clouds was illuminated of the golden mid- morning sunshine. All was quiet, as most people were still getting up. The place was empty, other than the newspaper vendor and the policemen guarding the orange and white roadblocks. The hum of a gentle engine cut through the air, it's whirring gentle but surprisingly loud-sounding in the calm square. An azure plane flew overhead, an orange fox in the one-man cockpit. He checked the collection of dials in front of him. He smiled faintly to himself. He was just about to turn around and fly back, when the plane jolted, travelled a few more yards, and then shuddered and flew out of control.

The azure and yellow (A/N: Is that correct?) aircraft nose-dived. The fox tried frantically to pull up to avoid crashing into the newspaper stand, pulling out just in time, scattering pages of some newspapers across the roads like a black and grey and white carpet. But the plane decided it didn't want to go up; it wanted to go down. It spiralled down, crashing onto the silvery-white sand of Station Squares' beach- Emerald coast. The plane's wing was twisted and the nose was bent, but at least it was reparable. Tails sighed, before slipping into unconsciousness.

Tails let himself be hauled up, blinking at the hedgehog in front of him. "Hey Sonic. What's up?" Sonic ignored this.

"What happened? It's not like you to crash like that. And what's up with the new plane? Don't tell me the Tornado's not working?"

"No, It's fine. I was just experimenting with a new power source, that's all. And if I can get all the bugs ironed out, it'll run-err, fly- circles around the original!"

"What's this 'amazing' new battery then?" He said the word amazing with scepticism.

"No battery! Here, have a look for yourself." Tails went over and un hooked something from the bent nose. He held out a radiant purple jewel for Sonic to see. He gawped.

"A chaos emerald?!" He blinked.

"Yeah. I found it on a fly past in the mystic ruins. I-"

He was cut off by a noise behind them. They spun around, revealing Eggman in his (rather...oddly... decorated) hovercraft, now decked out with double rocket launchers. He grinned at the two and noticed the emerald. His grin grew wider. "I'll just be taking that then, plea-" he was cut short as tails jumped at the sip, denting the metal before getting hit by the body of the hovercraft as it swung around. Sonic then attacked the hovercraft from behind, and instantly after Tails attacked from the front. Sonic took a blow as it swung round like Tails, but it then sank to the floor, jerking and shuddering. Tails relaxed, the jewel still in his hands. He began to walk off after Sonic, whom had immediately set of at jogging pace and was signalling for Tails to follow. He ran without looking where he was going and tripped, dropping the violet emerald in the process.

Meanwhile, Eggman had succeeded in pulling the hovercraft up and dashed by, a claw snatching up the emerald and placing it in the hovercraft. Immediately, there was a brilliant flash and a blue creature appeared beside him.

The creature was seemingly transparent, possibly made of solid water. It made no noise, nor did it show emotion. Eggman grinned. He tossed it the emerald at it. There was another flash, and...

Well, unless Tails' and Sonic's eyes were deceiving them, the creature now looked bigger, more intimidating. On an impulse, Tails attempted an attack. The creature stepped back seemingly damaged, but before he could try more, there was a flash of light and both Eggman and the monster disappeared.

"That's the monster I aw the other day..."

"M-monster?"

"Yup."

"That's just great. Absolutely greeeat..."

"How'd It get bigger...?"

"Dunno, but let's find out!"

"Alright. Let's go to the Mystic Ruins, my workshop's there. And don't run on the train tracks, remember what happened LAST time?"

"Okay, okay. See you there!" They both parted, Tails flying, sonic running to catch a train, muttering under his breath about why trains shouldn't be allowed to crash into people without warning.

A/N: MS says the chapter (Minus summary) is around 700 words. Not very long, but it got it all in. And I would like to say thanks to those who put me/my stories on favourites lists!
