Woohoo! Chapter 10. Wow…already? Shit. Man I love writing this story, and thanks to everyone reading this story! Love you all! (No homo ;) Also, a note to kubrickfan25. When I said "Putting the endless amount of ammo," what I meant is that he's got so much ammo in the bag that it never seems to stop. My fault for not specifying that enough. But thanks man for your feedback. Ok, enough of this crap! Story time!

Chapter 10: World Long Gone

"Sir, the suspect is ready to see you now," said Stacy over the intercom. Pretty little girl. Hot too.

"Ok, send him in," I responded by pushing a button on the little voice box. I folded my hands on top of my desk. This "kid" killed 2 brothers today. And I am not about to hesitate to shoot him once he steps into my office. My Chief of Police office, that is. Very much like the Oval office in the White House. A Missouri flag showed leadership as it stood on the wall behind me. It was home to the Missouri State Penitentiary.

"Get your goddamn hands off of me!" Said a very pissed off criminal in the hall outside my door. I could easily take this bastard. After all I am the…

"Here he is sir!" Announced Private Keenan as he threw the suspect onto the floor after charging through the wooden door. The suspect lay on the floor for a little bit as his hands were handcuffed behind his back. "You got him ok sir?" I nodded at the Private and thanked him as he walked out the door, but not before the suspect shouted "Anyone ever tell you you look like Gary Busey?" Door closed with a hint of force. The suspect finally stood up and faced me. He has grown since the last time I've seen him. A vanilla folder lay on my desk. I casually opened it up.

"Miles Prower. Also known as Tails. Sex: Male. Origin: N/A. Race: Fox. Charges: Two accounts of 2nd degree murder. 4 accounts of 1st degree murder." I closed the folder and looked up at the teenage vixen. "These are some pretty serious charges here, son. Anything you would like to add?" I asked interlocking my fingers. He smirked.

"Yeah. It should say 5 accounts of 1st degree murder," he smirked and evilly smiled. "The 5th one should be you," he paused and took in a deep breath. "Shadow, the Hedgehog." I frowned. I stood up and walked around my desk while sliding my hands into my khaki pockets, he asked what were the other two 2nd murders were for.

"They were for the two officers that died when they're squad car flipped," I explained. Then I cocked my head to the side. "Don't you remember that?" I asked him. He just stood there chest bulging out. His tails swept across the floor. The suspect was dressed in a white t-shirt with orange sweat pants. We removed his clothing and gave him these for…safety reasons. (A/N some inmates have been known to try and succeed by hanging themselves with jeans and other clothing, so I've heard.)

"Yeah I remember," He answered with confidence. "Speaking of which, where is Jack?" The suspect asked walking closer towards me. I didn't move, but I did answer him.

"He's dead." Silence soon filled the office. Then the suspects head slowly started to nod. He cursed himself. I walked back behind my desk and slid out a filing drawer. "You know something Kid? I know why you're here." I said, slipping out the chrome .45. I laid it on the desk.

"Is that so?"

"Oh yes," I said without missing a beat. "You're here, to get that girl back. You time traveled back in time to see if you could save her-"

"And kill you,"

"-But you failed. Tails, I've been in this time period for 10 years. But I haven't aged a bit. However, you have. How old do you think you are?"

"I am 12 years old."

"Now see, you're wrong. You are actually 16." A confused expression grew on his face. "I'll explain. You see," I started, leaning against the wall with the flag. "When you time traveled, all of us traveled back in time. But something strange happened. See, you got here just today didn't you?" He nodded. "So this is what happened. We all are in this time period. But some aren't even here yet. I waited 10 years to see you guys again. When I first arrived here, I was instantly bored. So I decided to take on this "Law Enforcement" to entertain myself. Anyway, all of us are lost in the time portal that you created using Chaos. I got out a lot quicker than you all did. So I arrived here earlier, or later than what you wanted." He yawned.

"Now I don't know how many of them are actually here already. They all could be half-way around the world. Or dead. I don't know. Also, another thing I noticed. My shoes and gloves were gone when I arrived. That's because whatever we wore back then, doesn't exist now. Why did we not die or disappear along with the gloves and shoes? Well, we will just leave that for the religious people to decide." I pushed myself from the wall. I picked up the pistol.

"Nice gun you got here." I complimented as I examined it.

"That's mine." He sounded annoyed.

"Tough balls. Its mine now!" I tossed it back into the drawer. He watched me the entire time. "So, let's talk about your case.

"It's got enough evidence in here for the death penalty."(A/N: Strongly Enforced) "Just one problem," I added. "We can't prosecute a fox."

"Haha! In your face jackass!" He smiled and laughed. "I get to go free!"

"You didn't let me finish," His smile instantly faded away. "There is always the option of…" I dragged out the silence for as long as I could. The only thing that could be heard is the humming of the air conditioner.

"Youthenization." His eyes went wide. "You wouldn't." I walked up close to him. Face to face.

"Try me." I stared into his sky blue eyes. He stared into mine. And chuckled. I found it downright appalling. "What the hell is so funny?" His chuckles soon became cries of laughter. He continued laughing for a minute until he stopped. He slowly said, "You don't want to do that."

"Oh yeah? And why not?" I yelled. Steam practically blaring out of my nostrils.

"Because," he explained. "Can you guess who is living on the otherside?" He went ahead and answered anyway. "Maria," I hit him in the jaw. But he recovered and said, "And we are going to be doing it "ALL NIGHT LONG!" he swung his waist around in a circular motion. I stopped him by gripping his neck. Squeezing, I spat into his face.

"You shut the fuck up about Maria. You know I loved her-"

"And…you know…I…loved…Cos-" I tightened my grip extensively. He chocked.

"Alright Kid how about this? Instead of killing you," I offered. Letting go of him and watching stumble around, catching his breath was pleasing. "You will rot in jail, until you die. How about that?"

"Sounds good. Can't wait to make you my bitch." He smirked.

"Keenan!"

Tails P.O.V (Also, I'm watching the Cardinals in the playoffs. Go Cardinals! Don't like Cardinals? Shut the fuck up and get over it :/)

Cell. Inmates. Prison. I can't believe it. I've been here for…not even a day. And I'm already in the slammer. Un-freaking-believable. My cell that I was put in was small. So small that in 2 steps, I could walk wall to wall. The floor was cold tile. The walls were chipped large concrete blocks. Oh and the stain next to the window bars…well let's just say, that's not ketchup.

The cell had a bunk bed. I was the only one in the cell. So I called top bunk. I jumped up and plopped onto the hard mattress. So much for royalty.

My mind was racing. I had so many questions answered. But a helluva lot of new ones. I couldn't believe Jack is dead. I just met the kid, and he's already gone. Atleast he is with Madi. Also, what the hell happened to Fiona? I remembered her bleeding and that branch in her. Oh my god. I hope she is ok. Wait, is that a lie? (I don't know. What do you think?)

I rested my head against the hard, cheap pillow. My eyes soon started to get heavy.

"Lights out ladies!" Shouted an officer followed by darkness. The lights died as their fuel supply was shut off. Must be 10 o'clock. I closed my eyes and hoped I might be able to sleep. My mind thought of one thing. Cosmo. I remembered everything I did with her. Also with every moment I was with her. I miss her so much. So…*yawn*…much.

Tails Dream. 3rd person.

Miles woke in a field of flowers. Beautiful shades of blue, pink and green was spread out in an endless field. Miles stood up. He saw nothing. He saw no one. Except for…

"Cosmo!" He started running. And running and running. As he pushed his legs to the burning point and beyond, he fell down onto all fours and ran as hard as he could. Spinning and twisting his tails as fast as he could. Nothing could stop him. Nothing.

He approached his love. He stood up. They were the same height. Cosmo was dressed in her beautiful flower dress. A little pink rose stuck out in her braids. Someone could easily mistake her for the daughter of Aphrodite. And to Miles, Cosmo was more beautiful than her.

Miles chocked on his own tears. He could not be happier to see her especially in such an amazing world he was in. "Cosmo," he whispered. Her eyes never let him. "Cosmo?" he whispered a little louder. Concern filled his voice for as Cosmo, was motionless. She was a statue. Lifeless. Miles reached out and touched her cheek.

Cosmo cheek collapsed in a shower if dust and dirt. Her body and face started to crack and collapse. Miles was scarred. What had he done?" What was happening?"

Cosmo's entire body fell into a pile of broken pieces. A strong wind came swept away Cosmo's remains. Miles fell onto his knees. The flowers soon died and burst into flames. The endless sea of flowers was now an ocean of flames.

An evil laugh filled the atmosphere with deafening booming. Miles looked up to see Dr. Eggman. The Mad scientist held Cosmo in his hand.

"Yohohoho! So fox, have you figured out why you're here yet?" And with that, the Dr. and Cosmo faded away into the nothingness. And Miles started to catch fire…pain…burning…

"NO!"

Back in the real world. Tails P.O.V

"No!" I yelled screaming in the darkness. I was sweating and panting. What the hell was that? Other inmates sounded very annoyed and pissed.

"Hey! Shut up!"

"Fucking shut up!"

"Save the raping for the showers damnit!"

Ugh. Rest of my life is way too damn long.

Day 1

Exercise yard. Lunch. Exercise yard. Bed.

Day 2

Rinse…

Day 3

…and…

Day 4

Day 5. 5:24

Rape in the showers…by me.

Day 6

Rinse and repeat.

Night, Day 6. 8:35

I was just chillin' on my bunk. Nothing too special going on. Getting bored. Hungry as heel. PB&J gets old and is not enough for me. I jumped down and made my way to the window bars. It was a scary moonless night. Hardly a star in the sky. Kind of depressing. I wanna go home. Get me out of here…

I hung my head and walked back towards the bottom bunk. I took a seat and buried my head in my hands.

BOOM!

Something had hit me in the head. I collapsed onto the hard floor. My vision was blurry. Stupid goddamn headaches. My vision slowly came back. And behold, a familiar red echidna stood in the hole in the wall. (A/N: Cardinals Win! Motherfuckers!)

"Knuckles!" I shouted, standing up. I ran over to him and fist bumped him.

"What's up man? We gotta get you out of here!" He stated. I nodded. "Let's go!"

We bolted out into the night. We started running inside the interior walls. Sirens wailed and spotlights searched. "Wait!" I stopped him.

"What?" He asked.

"I need to get something. Can you punch this wall here?" I asked tapping on the administration offices building. Without missing a beat, he slams his fist into the wall. Bricks and concrete gave way. My wild guess was right. I was back in Shadow's office. I stepped in and scanned the place. He wasn't there. I ran over towards the desk. Looking for that one drawer that he put my gun in. I opened up the top one. Nothing. Then the big bottom one. Bingo! I quickly grabbed it and jumped back over towards Knuckles. "Come on! Let's go!" I was a step ahead of him. As soon as I was out in the cold outside wind, I quickly rotated my tails and took off. Knuckles following close behind. Then the gunshots came.

Police officers started firing at us. Bullets whizzed my head as I climbed desperately to gain altitude. I glanced back at Knux. He was still with me. But his eyes were bug eyed. I rose and rose into the black sky. Finally, all the sirens and gunshots stopped. I slowed down to a hover. Sadly Knux can't hover, so he just glided through the air right past me. We were safe now.

"So," I said chasing after Knuckles. "Where to now?" I asked. He had one answer.

Home.
