The Big Race
Chapter 1
Tail's eyes slowly closed as he rested his head on his favourite workbench.Maybe just 5 minutes... He thought...then he yelped as he felt a sharp jolt on the back of his neck."Good thing I left that on,or I would have fallen asleep."Tails said to himself as he touched what looked like a mechanical beetle on his head.
The little bug was something Tails had made to keep himself awake during long nights in his workshop.Whenever he dozed off,it would give him a small shock.
As Tails yawned,he thought about the big New Years party tomorrow.Every year,Tails and his friends held a huge party,and took turns hosting it.This year was his turn,and he had spent weeks preparing for it.He had built most of the entertainment himself,such as a huge TV,virtual reality video games,and even a dance floor complete with flashing lights and a disco ball.
But the event Tails was looking forward to was the annual race when everyone would get to compete for great prizes.Of course Sonic had won every race since they started that tradition,Tails rememberd with a frown.He usually wasn't competitive,but Sonic was bragging so much lately that the young genius had finally sworn, in front of everyone,to make an invention that would put Sonic in second place this year.Of course everyone laughed,but Sonic surprised everyone,including Tails,by accepting the challenge.
Since then Tails had been working hard,because if he lost not only would everyone laugh again,but he would also have to endure Sonic's taunts until the next race.
At first Tails had tried tuning up his Extreme Gear,but gave up when he couldn't break the sound barrier.Then he thought he could use the X Tornado,but that didn't work out either.
Tails had almost given up when he discoverd a strange new metal in the Mystic Ruins.Tails ran every test he knew,but the metal didn't seem to have a melting point,nor would electricity or radiation affect it.Not even his best diamond tipped drill could scratch it.
Finally,bored and out of ideas,Tails tried running energy from a chaos emerald through the metal,and was surprised when the stubborn metal changed shape,seeming to shift like water into a different form then becoming solid again.That scared the crap out of Tails the first time it happend because it reminded him so much of Chaos.
Once he
stopped hiding under his workbench,Tails began to experiment,and
found that by carefully controlling the intensity and duration
of the chaos energy,he
could change the metal into almost anything he wanted.
Then he found that certain shapes conducted the emeralds power much the way normal metal conducted electricity,which gave him an idea.
Finally,after many tests,Tails finished his latest invention.He didn't have time to test it,but all his computer simulations showed that it should work fine.
Tails hoped his computer was right,because if it was there was no possible way even Sonic would be able to beat him.
