Author's Note: In case you wondering, the characters that I own are Cadmus, Tsuko, Yumi, Talyah, Demicles, and any other miscellaneous hedgehogs, echidnas and other minor characters that appear. Everyone else is owned by Sega. Also, I seek constructive reviews! If you're going to say that this work is a piece of crap, say what you can to help me make it less so.
Prologue
In a dense forest far from civilization, a two-tailed fox lived. He was Miles Prower, or "Tails" by his old friends. He sat atop the rocks that camouflage his hidden base. He gazed up into the canopy, and suddenly realizes what day it is.
"Fifteen years…has it really been that long?" he thinks to himself. "Wow. I've been hiding here for years. I was only eight then…but even now it reminds burned into my conscious…official reports from the human cities have dubbed it "The Angel Incident". My two best friends in the world…Sonic and Knuckles…" he could feel tears well up on his face. Tails' fur, once orange in youth, had since turned brownish. He grew somewhat, but not a lot. He wore thin spectacles that always hung on his nose. He could see just fine, but he liked the look.
Tails stood up and hopped down to the door of his lab, which was also his home. He flipped up a small panel, revealing a number pad. He pressed several numbers and waited for a moment. The doors opened with a hiss and a clank. He walked in, the door closing and locking behind him. He walked down the long hall, his steps making metallic sounds on the steel floor. Coming to another door, he again inputted a code, and walked inside.
His lab was quite advanced, using any technology he could get his hands on…computers, chemicals, and glass tubes…the works. One such tube held the body of a former friend. It was a pink female hedgehog, who seemed roughly sixteen or seventeen years of age. For one-and-a-half decades he preserved her, for reasons he had since forgotten. The preservation was not total, so she had aged a little bit.
A small maintenance robot, no bigger than Tails' head, hovered into the room on its anti-gravity flight system in a hurried manner. It seemed to have urgent news.
"Master Miles, master Miles! I have great news!" the robot said in an excited, but mechanical voice. "She's coming to!"
"Amy?" Tails inquired, his eyes widening. This news truly was great. Frenetically he rushed to the console to where the pink hedgehog was. Quickly he began to drain the fluid he had preserved her in. As the last of the fluid drained out, she slowly opened her eyes. Out of excitement, Tails leapt onto the girl and began to squeeze her. This sped up her awakening.
"I'm so glad you're back, Amy!" Tails wailed with joy.
