Tails smiled when he arrived at the canyon. Finally he could find the fossils he needed! He ran to the canyon rocks, but there were badniks littered, both destroyed and active. It wasn't long ago before him and Sonic took them down together. Tails shook his head and walked past them like they were nothing, but the badniks had a plan from their master. They let off a loud noise which triggered an avalanche. Rocks shook, then tumbled down around Tails. He gasped when one rock smashed his tail. He bared his teeth and tried to loosen it, but before he could move, a rock then smashed into his head, knocking him unconscious. More rocks and dust piled onto him, until he was invisible to any passersby.
Later…
Sonic sighed, Tails was supposed to be back by now! He said he'd be back by 5 and it was 6! He decided he would go to look for his friend, well, they were like brothers. Sonic had arrived at the canyon Tails said he'd be at, and looked around, to his horror, there had been an avalaunche.
Sonic frantically looked around, he called out "TAILS!" As loud as he could, but to no avail, no response. Sonic began to look around, but when he started to give up when the sun started setting, he thought maybe Tails wasn't here, and that he maybe was on his way home?
After he stood up, a bright light shown from the sun, and out emerged a young vixen with wings, Black ears, paws and feet, with the highlight on her bangs and tail, and those stunning yellow eyes landed on a flat rock and looked around. "Well, this is an interesting place to be awakened." She said humorously, then saw Sonic. "Oh! You must be the one who took in my brother?" Sonic looked at her awkwardly, and said "Uh… Who would that be..?"
Tali laughed and flicked her poofed tail. "That would be Miles!" She sat down on the rock and looked at Sonic. "Where is he?"
"Miles…. as in.. Tails? I think he may be around here. But how do you know his name? I'm the only one who knows his old name!"
Tali looked around, and looked back, with a confused look on her face. "He doesnt appear to be around here…." Sonic looked down and scratched his ear. "Wellll… I think he's lost in the rocks…?" Tali looked shocked and flew into the air rapidly. "YOU LOST MY BROTHER?!"
Sonic jumped up with fright and stared at Tali. "I.. I trusted him to stay safe and…." Tali sat down again and sighed. "At least according to my senses, he isn't dead, but unconscious."
Sonic looked at Tali with relief. "Want to help me look for him… what's your name?"
Tali looked up and smiled. "Its Tali. Tali Prower."
Sonic nodded and offered her a hand. Tali took his hand and stood up. "Well good thing i have telekinesis!" She grabbed Sonic's hand and flew into the air with her glowing white wings, and her yellow eyes glew, lifting the rocks, all but one pile. Tali's eyes stopped glowing, and she pointed to the pile. "There he is, Sonic." Sonic landed on the ground, and looked up at Tali. "How do you know my name?" Tali smiled and landed beside him. "Because, it was foretold you would protect my brother." Tali then walked to the pile of rocks and slowly lifted off the rocks, revealing his battered and bleeding body.
"Ooooh… not doing a very good job, Sonic!" She called. "He looked pretty bad!" When Sonic heard this, his spikes flared up, his protective senses kicked in and he rushed over to Tails and picked Tails up off the ground. "Tali, I want you to come with me to our house… its best he sees you after.. well I dont know if you've been gone for how long?" Tali raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Sure i'll come and I died when Tails was 2… Such a long time.."
Sonic nodded and began to walk home with Tails in his arms and Tali by his side.
