Deep in space:
June - 30 - 3452
18:27 Mobius Time
Time slowed to a standstill... The darkness of space, nearly inexistent to the crew of the Blue Typhoon space ship. Out in the distance, the Metarex planet could be seen, giving off an evil aura. Upon it grew an enormous, beautiful sakura tree. The pink leaves seemed to glow in the distance as the scene unfolded before the crews eyes.
"Tails! There has to be something else you can do!" preached a deep voice belonging to Knuckles, a red echidna.
"Yeah! Shouldn't there be some kind of happy ending!" exclaimed Cream, a rabbit with color to match her name. Yet the yellowish-orange kitsune piloting the space cruiser they spoke to didn't seem to acknowledge their words. He simply stared at the planet, horrified seeing as the fate of the vast universe now rested in his small, gloved, furry hands.
"The Wave Motion Cannon is fully charged Tails. Sonic and Shadow are in position too." Chris clarified, also realizing the outcome of this situation. He was among the few humans aboard the vessel.
Eggman, another human, and archenemy to Sonic, then spoke, "Tails, fire on my mark." and so began the final countdown.
3...
It was do or die…
2...
Life and death…
1...
At that moment in time, Mile 'Tails' Prower was god.
"Wave Motion Cannon, FIRE!"
They all waited for the cannon to go off, but there was no huge explosion of any kind. A hesitant Tails sat in his seat, a river of tears rolling down his face and his finger rested lightly on the trigger, ready to fire yet also not. Suspense loomed like dark clouds on a rainy day, as they all waited for Tails decision.
"Tails" Doctor Eggman spoke in a much calmer voice, "I know she means something to you, but firing is our only option at this point."
"NO! I can't do it! I won't!" he shouted, still bawling over the expected outcome. The thought of having killed someone clearly was not welcome in his mind. It was a shocking sight to see for his friends, as he doesn't have emotional breakdowns often.
"Tails, you have to… there is no other way." Amy shyly spoke. It was this statement that fueled his distress into anger.
"So what are you suggesting? That I just shoot her, just like that?" He screamed. "Amy, what if that was Sonic up there huh! THEN would you want me to shoot!" All his uncharacteristic fury had chilled Amy to the bone.
"W-well I-I..." She stammered, and said no more, merely hanging her head out of embarrassment and shame. No one had ever seen such an outburst from the kit in the entirety of since they met him.
"Tails..." spoke a voice, "You have to shoot. I'm already attached to this monster. There's no going back at this point."
Immediately upon hearing the calm, soothing voice, Tails attitude returned back to sadness, but also surprise as he spoke, "Cosmo!" He exclaimed, fearing there was no alternative. Her faint image appeared on the Blue Typhoon, showing her features. She was an anthropomorphic plant, from a race called the seedrians. She wore a dress that frilled with green at the bottom where the dress showed a flower-like design.
To others, she was just their quirky and somewhat clumsy friend. To Tails, however, she was much more. Even If he didn't admit it.
"Cosmo I don't want to lose you! You're our friend, right?" He pleaded, his highly intelligent mind searching for some way to solve this incident.
"Of course Tails, but even you know that this is the way it has to be." She replied in the calm voice she always had for every situation.
"No Cosmo! You're too special to me! I'm sure there's another way! I'm not going to shoot you!"
"Tails" Eggman said as the argument wore on, "If you don't take action, many more people will die, not just Cosmo. Including us." Those were not comforting words to hear when one was stressed to the point of breaking. He wouldn't believe that his hesitant would cause the death of all. But he would, nevertheless, be the blamed. He slowly took it all in, making his decision all the while.
"O-okay...Cosmo." Tails said slowly, "But before I do it, you need to know..." His sentence was cut off by Cosmo and her natural curiosity. Sometimes, she just couldn't help herself.
"What is it Tails?"
Tails, still weeping, suddenly shouted out " I-I love you Cosmo!" and pressed the trigger, that would ultimately scar his life. As the two golden streams of light sped towards the Metarex planet, Tails finally realized exactly what he was doing. 'This is it…' He thought to himself as the two golden streaks made contact with the planet.
The planet exploded, along with the beautiful sakura tree. It happened slowly in Tails eyes, the glowing leaves flying everywhere as the Metarex's reign of terror came to a sudden violent end... at a steep cost.
"COSMO! NO!" Tails cried, a steady stream of tears continuously rolling down his face as he slowly realized, "She's gone."
When he left to find the blue hedgehog, which had saved Mobius more times than he could count, he was no longer in his super form powered by the emeralds. "We tried to revive her Tails." He told the younger child. "But this was all we could find."
In his best friend and surrogate brothers hand was a tiny white seed. "Just a seed?" Tails wondered, realizing that there was no hope. Half of him had died when she left and now it was taking its effect. He began crying into Sonics chest, attempting to relieve the pain.
Then there was nothing…

Tails house and work shop
March - 9 - 3456
Four long years later, in an average looking bedroom, Tails awoke from an average nightmare, at least for him it was. One which had plagued him about the day that the love of his life had been taken from him by the merciless grip of death.
Not by Sonic, Shadow, or Eggman.
Not by, even, the Metarex.
He had taken her away from himself, and he alone was responsible for her death. He reminded himself that every day.
