My first story, so go easy on me. I'll accept some criticism, but nothing harsh, please. The story is about Tails finding someone who has his last name, and wants to find out more on this strange kitsune. Remember, I'm a beginner, so go easy!

And no, I do not own any of the characters of Sonic the Hedgehog, they belong to Sega, the only characters that belong to me is Tyler Prower and his friends (Listed on my page).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was early morning, and at the outskirts of Mystic Ruins was a small lab/house. This was the home to a young kit, Miles Prower, or as his friends called him, Tails. He was a young fox with two tails, the only of his kind (or so he thought), had yellow fur, three bangs on his head, and red and white sneakers on. His friends dropped by every day, greeting him with friendly smiles or with broken appliances. Tails never minded, he loved to work on machines, every making them better than what they were before they were broke.

From out of the woods, a figure appeared, running top speed to the house. He stood against the wall, remaining in the shadows, hoping not to be seen. The figure looked around to see if the coast was clear, and seeing it was, emerged from the shadows and headed for a window.

The figure was another kit, looking exactly like Tails, except for a few differences. He had orange fur, four bangs, and orange and white sneakers. He remained against the wall, and slowly looked into the house. The window was to Tails's room, where an empty bed was. 'Must be in the lab' thought the fox. He then moved to a window just above the ground, with had a view of the lab. He slowly looked in, just to see Tails asleep as his desk, using a broken machine as a pillow. The fox chuckled at the sight.

The fox then turned back to the forest, and dashed into its darkness.

Tails awoke to find himself at his desk, to find a machine still broke under his head.

"Oh man! I fell asleep! Amy's gonna kill me if her toaster isn't fixed!"

Tails went to work quickly. He finished fast, for he just fell asleep right before he was finishing. He took the toaster back upstairs, and hungry for some breakfast, decided to test it.

Tails just finished his breakfast and looked at the clock.

"Hmm, 10:00. Amy should have been here alre…"

Knock knock knock.

'Right on time' thought Tails

Tails got up from the table and went to the door. He opened it to find Amy.

"Hey, Tails! Is it fixed yet?"

"Just finished it this morning."

Amy gave Tails a friendly hug. "Oh, thank you so much, Tails! You're the best!"

Tails blushed at the compliment. "Well, I wouldn't say that..."

"Are you kidding? You're the smartest fox there is!"

Tails let Amy in and gave her the toaster. Amy took it and giving one last thank you, started to leave. Just then a blue blur came into the room. Amy started to smile.

It was none other than Sonic. "Hey little bro, how's it goi…" Sonic was caught off guard by a hug from Amy.

"Amy, what…. are you… doing…. here?" Sonic said, trying to escape the death grip.

"I came to get my toaster, silly!"

"Well, can you…. Let go?"

Amy let go of Sonic. Sonic got his breath back and look at Tails. "So, anything new?"

Tails shook his head. "No, everything's been fine. A little too fine actually…"

Sonic agreed. "I know. Egghead hasn't attacked us or anything for a while. He's up to something… Just be careful okay?"

Tails got a little mad at that last question. "Sonic, I'm not a little kid anymore. I can take care of myself! Besides, I'm going out into the forest to study the ruins."

Sonic walked up to him. "You want me to come with?"

"No, I'll be just fine."

"Alright, see you later!" And in a flash, Sonic was out the door.

Amy ran after. "Hey wait Sonic! Come back!"

Tails laughed at Amy chasing Sonic. "Will she ever learn?"

---

Tails was now in the deepest part of the Mystic Ruins. He had fished his studies and started home. He soon found himself lost.

"Oh man, how can I be lost?" Tails yelled to himself. He had just entered a clearing in the forest when he heard a familiar and irritating laugh. He looked up to see Eggman in his hovercraft.

"What's wrong little fox? Are you lost?"

"What do you want Eggman?"

Eggman let out a laugh. "What else but the Chaos Emeralds? I noticed Sonic had two, so I decided to trade for the Chaos Emeralds. I just needed the right offer, and you'll do!"

"Fat chance, fatty! There's only one of you, and I can easily take you!" said Tails, getting into a fighter's stance. He had been training with Sonic and Knuckles, and was doing well in his training.

Eggman push a button on his hovercraft. Out of nowhere, robots popped up, outnumbering Tails by hundreds.

"Oh….. Spit," muttered Tails, making sure to watch his language.

Tails knew what he had to do. "HHHHEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!! SONIC, HELP ME!"

In the jungle, the orange fox was making some changes to his tree house. He then heard the scream and recognized the voice.

"Miles?" Thinking he was in trouble, he grabbed a Chaos Emerald from his house and ran off towards the scream.

Tails trying his best to fight off the robots, screaming for help in between. The robots then surrounded him. "Aw, dang it." He propelled his tails and tried to take off, but was hit by a punch from a robot, which knocked him to the ground. The robots went to capture him. Tails let out one more scream for help.

"HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!"

"Chaos Control!"

The robots looked around to see where that voice came from. Then they each started to explode one by one. Smoke was all that was left in a matter of seconds.

Eggman saw all this and started to retreat. "You'll pay for this!" He disappeared in the sky.

Tails looked around. In the smoke he saw a figure, but wasn't able to see who it was. He walked up to him.

"Thank you…. uh, Shadow?" he said, guessing the identity.

The figure turned as the smoke cleared. Tails saw it was a fox, and not a black hedgehog.

"Oh, sorry about that. I just thought you were someone else since you used….." Tails eyes went behind the fox, just to see two tails. "Wait, you have two tails too? Who are you?"

The orange kit looked around. His ear twitched at a distant sound. "Now's not the time to talk, Miles."

"Wait, how do you know my name? Just who are you?"

The orange kit turned and started to walk off. "If you want to know, meet me at the ruins later at midnight. I'll answer anything you ask then. Oh, and come alone."

"Well, can you at least tell me who you are now?"

The kit sighed. He turned to Tails. "My names Tyler……. Tyler Prower." He then disappeared into the jungle in a flash.

Tails stood there in disbelief.

"Tyler……..Prower?"

Just then, Sonic, with Amy close behind, showed up. "Hey, buddy, you alri..." Sonic looked around to see all the destroyed robots. whistles "Tails, what happened? Did you do this?"

Tails didn't answer. He just stared into the forest where the orange kitsune went.

Just… who was that?
