The injured Tails was lying on the ground of the pit he had fallen into, hoping that the pain would ease. The precious ruby was on his side, shining bright like the sun however Tails noticed that there was a pathway ahead of him. With all of his might he lifted himself up and soon felt a shot of pain go through his right leg, but he still continued to the path despite the pain. Miles Prower kept walking at a moderate pace hoping to find some kind of exit, but the path seemed to keep going straight. He soon started to notice the art he had saw earlier from the temple and began to wonder who exactly drew it, but those thought would soon disappear as Tails ran into a village. This village wasn't exactly as big as a city but it came very close to it, Tails was in joy as he knew that the people in the village could possibly help him get to Sonic. So He quickly ran to the center of the Village to find nobody there.

"Hello, anybody there?" Said Tails

Tails then kept looking around, in the saloon and in the little houses but nobody was there. He soon felt a paw touch his shoulder so he turned around to see a wolf with a giant scar on his right cheek just look at him with disdain. This wolf had fur that was as dark as night and the body type of a bear.

"How did you find us, young fox?" Said the mysterious Wolf

"What do you mean us, it is just you." Said Tails

The Fox suddenly saw many animals appeared out of thin air, their look of fury had sent a shiver down Tails back. He knew one thing for sure, he was not supposed to be where he was standing at the moment.

"Look guys I don't want to cause any harm, I am just lost and I am trying to get out of this labyrinth. Can you help me with directions?" Tails said cautiously but knew that he should have not said that about their " home".

"You dare insult us with such of a term as a labyrinth, this is our beautiful home that we cherish and we are protected from the evils of the outside world; Men take this damned fox into the purge room!" Said the black wolf.

In that instant Tails was knocked out by one of the men and so the purge began.

Tails woke up to see himself tied up to a stone table and a luminous moon shining into the room. He felt weak to his bones, wondering why all this pain and suffering had to happen to him. He soon noticed the same wolf but he was talking to a few other animals beside him. He just couldn't help but wonder what exactly they were discussing about.

"We should kill this fox, he insulted us and the divine." Said the black wolf

"Sir, might I suggest that this fox basically took one of the legendary divine rubies and brought it to us. All I am saying sir is that we should use him, then kill him." Said one of the other animals.

"That is not a bad idea, but I will let the divine choose his fate." Said the black wolf
