disclaimer: i do not own sonic the hedgehog or Tails. they belong to sega. i do not own halo. it belongs to bungie. am i supposed to put this every chapter? well better safe than sorry. anyway these chapters are short because this story has to do with Tails AFTER he comes back from the war with the covenant. his experiences in battle against them, with his team mates, and "the only enemy the covenant fear" will be told by either when Tails tells a story to his friends or through a flashback.

Not a kid anymore

chapter 2

Tails got back to his workshop/house. he went up to his room and into the closet. he moved some clothes until a button was revealed.He pressed it and a hole opened up in the floor. Tails jumped in and flew down. he flew downward for about 20 stories until he got to a landing. there was a hallway with doors on one side. Tails passed by a few doors until he got to one named "EX gear". Tails got his gear and went to his Armory.Tails walked to the end of the hall, a large, heavily armored door was there. he punched in 2 codes in numbers and a password, then his eye got scanned. the doors red lights turned green. Tails walked in and flew upward. another door was their. But this door was on the ceiling! Tails did the samething he did with the other door and flew in. Inside were the green and yellow chaos emeralds. Tails took those too. No one knew how to use them in the human world anyway, let alone even want them. When tails was done he put his supplies in the Tornado. Tails checked his watch. 7:12. Tails drove the Tornado into the one of the ships the humans let him borrow, AGEUS FATE. It was a small frigate, but 5 football fields large, maybe bigger. He need the ship so he could go to the human's world. Tails got on a control panel and started getting the ship ready to launch.

Everyone was waiting outside, presents in hand. the ground under them started to open up. everyone ran so they wouldn't fall in. they saw a huge, dark colored ship rising from the ground. The ship then flew above the ground so if faced right side up, the words

AGEUS FATE, enscripted on the side. They saw tail near the rear of the ship. everyone ran to him."SURPRISE TAILS!"

"aww, guys you didnt have to get me anything." Tails said."of course we do Tails, you are leaving!" amy said." yeah, but I'll only be gone 4 months amy. not 4 years." everyone got something for tails, nothing to mention. but creams was different." here tails i made you this." cream gave him a necklace, looking away from him. it had an tan dimond in the middle."so you could remeber us by".

"aww, thanks cream. this means a lot to me. I'll always wear it." Tails said, and gave her a hug.

"They look so cute together. do you think he'll ever tell her?" amy asked. "sooner than you think amy" sonic told her, a reassuring look in his eyes."Tails where did you get this ship from?" asked sonic." the humans let me borrow it so i could go to their world. its called the AGEUS FATE." Tails said. everyone said their goodbyes and tails got in the ship.Tails was on the ships deck(where you flew the ship from).sonic gave him a smile and a thumbs up."I'll be sure to get all of you a soviner!" Tails yelled. he waved goodbye to all his friends and fired up the frigate. Tails took off and into the sky. Then a portal appeared in front of the frigate. All the lights around Tails's house started flickering because of the portal. The frigate went threw and the portal dispersed. the lights stopped flickering.

"do you think he'll be back soon?" cream asked amy. "sure he will, in 4 months like he said!" amy told her. cream stood outside staring where the ship use to be. sonic, amy, and knuckles went back into tails's house since they,along with cream, were going to watch over it while tails was gone. cream sighed and went back inside.i hope tails will be okay. i hope he comes back.

little does she know that when tails comes back, he won't be the little fox boy everyone knew, and a little surprise is in store for everyone when Tails comes back.
