Chapter 1: Join the MMF!

"PLEASE, SONIC, CAN I GO?" the two-tailed fox asked. "I'll be really good out there! And I can take care of myself just fine, and you know that!"

The blue hero of Mobius sighed. "I don't know, Tails. It can get real rough out there."

"I know that, Sonic! It's a war! I wanna fight for Mobius! PLEASE!"

"Maybe. I'll have to think about it."

Tails sighed. "Okay."

The Mobian Military Force (MMF) was trying to recruit more soldiers because of the start of the war with Dr. Eggman (big surprise). But this time, he had some brainwashed Mobian scientists on his side who made bigger, better, and more destructive robots. Everybody knew that Sonic the Hedgehog couldn't save them on his own, and neither could the Freedom Fighters. So they started the MMF.

And that's what Tails was trying to get into. But the catch was that he was under 18 years of age, so he needed his guardian's, that would be Sonic's, signature to join. I wish that he would just let me go. The boy thought. I can take care of myself. And I've fought Dr. Eggman before. So why is Sonic being so overprotective about this? He sighed. He decided to take a long walk, and hope that Sonic would make up his mind by then.

As he walked through the streets of the town, he noticed once again the MMF Station in the center. He stopped and looked at it longingly. He wanted to fight so bad. And he could do it, too. Win the war and still survive. Everyone knew he could. But apparently Sonic didn't. The fox looked towards the ground and started walking again.

I think I'll visit Knuckles, he thought to himself.

He was exhausted when he finally got to the shrine of the Master Emerald.

"Oh, hey Tails." the red echidna said when he noticed him.

"D-does the sh-shrine have to b-be so fa-ar out?" Tails asked while catching his breath.

"Yes! How else do you think I'm gonna keep the Master Emerald away from thieves?" Knuckles exclaimed. "So what's up?"

"Oh.. nothing..." The guardian of the green gem gave him a look that clearly said 'something's up tell me now'.

The fox boy sighed. "I wanna join the MMF but Sonic's not sure that he'll let me go."

The echidna looked surprised. "You? In the MMF? Wow." He whistled. "That's some serious stuff there. Of course Sonic is gonna be overprotective. He would feel so devastated and guilty if something were to happen to you."

"I know, but he should know that nothing would happen! I am perfectly capable of surviving!"

"We all know you are. But the thing is, nobody knows what's gonna happen, especially in a war. You know what I mean?"

The fox sighed. "I guess. I should get going. It's gonna take a while to get back home from here."

"See ya later!"

As Tails was walking home, he was suddenly stopped by Amy Rose.

"Hey, Tails!"

"Oh. Hey Amy."

"Can I come home with ya Tails?"

He sighed. "Amy, there's a reason why Sonic moved and wouldn't give you the new address-"

"I don't care if you say that he's creeped out by me!" the pink hedgehog interrupted. "He will learn to love me."

She then got an idea.

"Hey, Tails."

"What?"

"If you give me your address, I can forge a signature for you! I know that you wanna go in MMF. If Sonic won't let you, I know how to do his signature!"

The two-tailed fox froze. "You can do that?"

"Of course!"

He thought about it for a moment.

"Well... maybe if he doesn't let me... I don't know. We'll see."

"Okay, then! You know where to find me!" She happily skipped off in the other direction.

Wow, he thought. Now I seriously feel bad for Sonic.

When he strolled in the house, Tails was greeted with the aroma of freshly made chillidogs.

"Oh, good! You're home!" he heard Sonic say. "Hurry up and get in here before the food gets cold! They don't taste good that way!"

He walked into the kitchen and found Sonic at the table with two plates of chillidogs.

"Hey, little buddy! Eat up!" Then he started chowing down on his dinner.

The fox sat down and started taking small bites, making sure it was edible. Sonic wasn't the best cook around...

"You made these?" He asked, surprised.

"No, I ordered them."

"Ah. How come that doesn't surprise me?" Tails asked sarcastically.

"Now don't get cocky on me," Sonic joked.

Tails took a few more bites before asking, "So, about that MMF thing..."

"Ugh. Tails..." Sonic whined. "I don't wanna discuss that right now."

"But I really wanna go! I could handle it! You know that!"

"But I don't want you to get hurt-"

"I would be just fine!" he interrupted. "I could fight! I could... I could beat him! I could-"

"TAILS!" Sonic yelled. "YOU'RE NOT GOING!"

The fox boy stopped. "W-what?"

"I said, you're not going! I won't let you!"

"But Sonic.." he whimpered.

"That is my final answer! NO! N-O!"

Tails looked down at his half-eaten chillidog then back at the hero, trying to hold back his tears.

"IF YOU WON'T LET ME GO, I'LL FIND MY OWN WAY TO GO!" And with that, he got up and ran out of the house.

"TAILS!" he heard Sonic yell.

He quickly ran to Amy's house, hoping Sonic wouldn't run after him, considering the fact that he was the fastest thing alive.

He looked around when he got to the door, making sure the coast was clear. When he was satisfied that he was alone, he knocked on the door. It opened to reveal the overly obsessed Amy.

"He wouldn't let ya go, huh?" He shook his head.

She sighed. "So what's your address?"

"1053 Acorn Street," he replied guiltily.

"Okay, then! Here ya go!" Amy said handing him the form. She slammed the door before he could even thank her.

Tails ran to the center of the town in the pouring rain, form in hand. He reached the Station, drying off before he went in. He found the entry place and quickly walked over before anyone could recognize him. He handed his form to the cat standing there. The green cat with a name tag that said 'Officer Claws' validated his form before saying, "Enter the Headquarters." Tails took one look back at the glass doors, noticing a blue blur pass by. His eyes widened as he turned around and walked into the entryway.

"Welcome to your nightmare, new recruit."
