Chapter 4
The Grand Prix is seven months away and Sonic and Co., with the exception of Tails, are riding around on their extreme gear. Tails had decided to stay home to investigate the Assyrians more. The actual reason why he stayed home is because he was contacted by one of the Assyrians three days ago.
Tails is working on upgrading the Tornado to make it faster when he hears his laptop beeping for some odd reason. He shakes his head and walks over to his laptop, which was sitting on one of his workbenches, and flips it open. He hits the power button and as the screen turns back on, he sees a masked figure on the screen. Tails recoils back, terrified for he was not really expecting one of the Assyrians to contact him.
The Assyrian starts to laugh. "Ah, my brother, why haven't you shown up to our location?"
Tails shrugs his shoulders nervously. "I…I…I didn't know that we were brothers."
The Assyrian stares blankly at Tails.
"Brother, when we first arrived on this blasted planet, we were at war with the Babylonians. We came to this planet to escape their tyranny and after many years of hiding from them and watching as cities started to grow, you were born. We knew you were pure Assyrian for you were born with two tails. Neil, leader of the Renegades, and Alex, leader of the Enforcers, named you Miles Prower. But one day, the Babylon Rouges attacked us and we had to hide you from the danger. The current Babylon Rouges are not known to us. All we know about them is that they are the children of the previous ones. Anyways, we gave you a gift before we hid you; it was an Assyrian Blood Diamond."
Tails scratches his head and walks over to his other workbench and as he opens it, he sees a red diamond sitting within the drawer. He picks it up and walks back to his laptop and shows the diamond to the Assyrian.
Tails frowns at the Assyrian. "I guess you're talking about this thing."
The Assyrian nods his head. "That is it brother. That diamond will guide you to your family, brother. We'll be waiting."
Seven hours later after Sonic had come home and went to sleep, Tails had left the house and went outside. He looks up and he can feel the cool night air blow gently against his fur. He lifts the diamond up and it starts to sparkle from the light of the moon.
Tails watches the diamond do…absolutely nothing. "C'mon you damn thing! Work, WORK!"
Yet, the diamond still does not react.
He sighs in frustration. Suddenly, he looks back at the diamond and says, "Eee tat nu olk taj nar eef. Det hayt nolt ahg toredna."
The diamond suddenly lights up in a brilliant array of colors, but the dark red beam that resembles the color of blood shoots off into the distance. Tails watches the red beam for awhile, but finally decides to follow the red beam.
Three hours later, Tails comes across an abandoned warehouse. He sees that the dark red beam is leading him towards the warehouse. He shakes his head and walks towards the entrance of the building. He slowly approaches the door. He stops and slowly extends his arm towards the door and knocks twice. After about three minutes, the door opens and Tails sees one of the Assyrians staring at him.
The Assyrian takes off his mask, revealing his grey and brown muzzle, and smiles. "Brother, welcome home!"
