Interlude: Memories
In Mobius prime, the people were picking up the pieces after the previous battle. It had been just 4 hours since the mysterious "invaders" had left the planet and at Tails´ house, Sonic and Haid were checking Amy and Rouge...
"Their vital signs are stable; I´ve give them a sedative to relax them. They should be fine in about 2 hours ... "- explained the robot to Sonic
"Thanks Haid, what you could find out about the altar?"
"Apparently ... 7 emeralds were present when that pillar of light emerged"
"This makes no sense, they had the 7 emeralds in their possession ... Wait ... 7 ?, 7 !, Try to contact Tails NOW"
"It is impossible, sub spatial transmissions take a long time to arrive . To do this I must have the exact location of Master´s ship"
"No ... Tails , I hope you're ok " - It was all the hedgehog could think...
Meanwhile, the White Lightning was entering a star system in the neighboring quadrant right in the orbit of a inhabited planet...
White Lightning, Sick Bay:
Cosmo lay sleeping on a bed while Fenrir, Isis and RAMP were at her side ...
"She really beautiful, She reminds me of my mom" - Isis said with longing and curiosity, and Fenrir said - "I must admit, she's nice but I still do not understand. All we did was to bring her back ... from the dead?, it is something that still do not believe"
"At the beginning I also questioned Master´s actions, but I always knew everything he does is for a good reason. Although I do not always understand them "- declared RAMP but then ... -" She is awakening"
The seedrian slowly opened her eyes and as she got up to sit on the bed she looked at her hosts with confusion and fear ... "Huh?"
"Hello" - Isis said, still the confused Cosmo was a little frightened of making her gown left uncovered her ... ... new features… and quickly making her cover her chest in shame... - "Do not worry, you're safe. We won´t hurt you"
"Who are you?"
"I´ll inform the Master" - said RAMP before leaving the sick bay ...
Meanwhile Tails was meditating in his room, or arguing in the astral plane to be precise ...
"Why did you not tell me?!"
"Tell you what?"
"Why did not you tell me it was her !?"
"Tails first of all try to calm down ..." - said Seledrin seeing that Tails was very upset and indignant - "The reason I did not tell you anything is something similar to what I have tell you before, if you knew she was who we tried to bring back, you'd became obsessed with fulfilling the task as quickly as possible and you would have lost a lot ... because of your frenzy: Experience, knowledge, support without which others had perished. As I told you before ... all in due time"
"And ... what happened to the Metarex?"
"They paid part of their sins by helping you and have won the opportunity to go to purgatory, the opportunity to transmigrate"
"... Even now… I cannot believe ... I cannot believe she's back ... on my ship. I never thought I'd see her again "- stated Tails with glee as a small tear leaned her cheek
"Tails ... I do not want to ruin your joy but there are some things I have not said about what we did" - Seledrin ´s words twitched the fox´s fur, and this he looked at him with fear and ...
"I knew you were going to say something to me, it was too good to be true"
"Before you want to burn my skin listen carefully. As you know to bring a soul to the physical plane requires a lot of energy, and there is a big difference between rebirth and ascension "
"What it is?" - Asked the fox, and Seledrin continued
"At death, the soul emerges from the flesh and transforms to ascend, but when a soul is brought from the spirit world ... this is forced, dragged from where it is... and there is a chance that parts of it could be lost on the way "
"What do you mean?"
"Her memories Tails, I mean her memories. By hold her ... the energy of the emeralds due their strength could fragment her memory, and when she wakes up , she may not remember anything about her family, anything about her friends, nothing about herself ... not even her name, she may not remember you "- Those words stabbed deep in the heart of the poor fox
"Then, all for what I went through, everything I did ... was all in vain?"
"You're wrong !, do not forget how you have strengthened yourself, the friends you have done, the people you've helped, the lives you´ve saved and changed just by your presence. Never again dare to say ... that all you did was in vain; Remember that regardless of your emotions you have to do what is better for the greater good, and no matter what …you will train and will train with her to became stronger ,together. And when the moment of truth comes, you can prevent this world, that any other world became an empty and lifeless dimension. Remember what I told you, you'd get a great reward and I cannot tell you when, but believe me… it will be very soon. See you later ... take care of yourself Tails "- And after that Seledrin disappeared and Tails returned to the physical plane, and sadly left his bed and sat next to his window to see the stars and the planet they were orbiting ...
R.A.M.P entered the room and ...
"Master , miss… Master?" - But Tails was so deep in his thoughts that he didn´t heard the voice of his butler - "Master"
"R.A.M.P ?, What do you need?"
"Miss Cosmo has woke up, we are waiting for you"
"Thanks RAMP ..." - answered the fox sadly - "Master, Are you all right?"
"Actually ... no, Seledrin was here ..."
"What did that weirdo now?"
"He said ... that Cosmo would not remember me ..."
"Master, listen to yourself. We just bring a girl from the dead and not to anyone, we brought back the one who make you to know real love. You should be overjoyed "
"I know, believe me, I know. But it's hard to accept this"
"Master , even if that is true, if she is the same inside ... she will feel something for you again. You can take this as an opportunity for a new beginning "- R.A.M.P gave a glimmer of hope to Tails with his words ...
"Maybe you're right, let´s go ..."
Returning with Cosmo and company:
"So you come from a planet where there are more of us?" - Cosmo asked curiously and with some hope
"Yes, and let me tell you that even when we live in the middle of a jungle, life in the city is very good" - Isis answered and Fenrir said ... - "I was suffering at that time so I could not see anything"
"You have been very kind with me and ..." - but she said nothing as the doors opened and RAMP with his Master entered ...
"Sorry if we interrupted something, Cosmo ... let me introduce you to our leader and my creator ... Miles Prower" - Tails stood watching her for a moment and bowed to hide the red shade in his face
"Surely you have many doubts and I will try to answer them all, RAMP I need all of you go out, give us some privacy"
"What are you going to make her?" - Fenrir asked making Tails upset
"I just want she be comfortable, get out now" - and after they were alone - "Do not worry I will not hurt you"
"I'm not worried"
"That's good, tell me What you can remember?"
"Well my name is Cosmo, I'm a Seedrian and I come from a planet that... unfortunately is no more" - What Tails heard gave him some hope because she still remembered part of her past life
"Sorry to hear that, you remember some of your family or your friends?"
"Yes and its´s something I don´t like to remember, many things happened"
"So ... I hope not to open old wounds, tell me… do you remember the names of some of your friends?"
"Sure: There are Sonic, Cream, Cheese, Amy, Knuckles, Vector, Charmi, Espio and some people who helped us"
"You do not remember anyone else?" - Tails asked a little hurt - "No, why?"
"For nothing" - then he thought - "Nooo nooo, she remembers everyone but me. Seledrin how I hate you! "
While the other side of the door ...
"What are they saying R.A.M.P ?!"
"Shut up. There is no cameras in the sick bay and receptors catch nothing because of your cries!"
"I thought we were whispering ..." - Isis said innocently
Returning to the Sick bay ...
"Tell me ... What's the last thing you remember?" - Tails asked
"I remember being in space and a light coming towards me then everything went dark ... and I woke up here"
"Surely is a problem of amnesia, your memory will return eventually. But I want you to know ... that my ship will be your home while you desire it Cosmo "- Tails said kindly
"Thank you, Mr. Prower"
"He he, Mr Prower is my dad. If you do not mind I prefer to be called Tails"
"Okay ... Tails" - Said the seedrian outlining such a warm smile that made Tails "melt" inside
"She's more beautiful than I remember!"
"Well I think you've been here long enough, let me help you to get up" - Then Tails stand up and took her hand, but she slipped a little and he held her so she would not fall, but she showed her "new attributes" innocently to the fox with a modest but provocative cleveage that was formed when her chest pressed Tails´ , and thus he began to blush horribly as his lips outlined a crooked smile ...
"I am very sorry, Tails"
"Do do don´t wow o worry"
"OH GOD ,OH GOD ,OH GOD!" - He thought , and after that - "Well ... let´s go with Isis to give you some clothes instead of, that hospital gown" - Then when they opened the door RAMP and Fenrir fell to the floor while Isis stood there without knowing what to say ...
"What the hell are you doing ?!"
"We just wanted to know if you had not eaten her" - replied Fenrir and RAMP added - "They made me to do it, I swear it Master!"
"Treacherous Junk pile!"
"I'm just watching, curiosity won me" - Isis declared innocently and Tails rubbed his eyes very annoyed while Cosmo Just chuckled …
Moments later ...
"They have been in that locker over 15 minutes ..." – Tails declared
"The females of all species are like they, it takes forever to get dressed"
"I heard that Fenrir! "- Isis shouted through the door, making the wolf jump - " Well we're done "- Then Isis came out first and behind her -" What do you think? "
Cosmo wore a white dress, a kind of long skirt, short in front reaching to her knees and falling almost to the ground back her and sleeveless shirt only covering ... hem ...her chest leaving discovered her abdomen and a white vest and in her arms sleeves which are like the ones from her original suit but these were subject by small bracelets on her arms ...
"I must say ... you finally did something good this time Isis" - declared Fenrir - "Hehe than ... HEY?!"
"Miss What's the matter?" – RAMP asked
"It's just ... I do not feel well, I had never worn clothes like this. I feel uncomfortable "- Said shyly the seedrian and a little embarrassed ...
"You should not, that suit was a complete success on my planet. People from all other cities came to get one. What do you think Tails?"- Isis asked not realizing that the fox was watching spell bounded by Cosmo…
"You look gorgeous" - Tails said and others apparently did not listen so - "I say that shirt is fabulous he he he!" - They were a little confused, but Cosmo indeed hear him and lowered her face a little to hide her blush and a thought ran through her mind why? ...
"Well ...we´re just missing one thing ... this is for you" - then Tails took the heart of 'Daria and showed it to her
"It's beautiful, it is mine?, really?"
"Sure, let me put it on you ..." - Tails went behind her and as he slid the necklace ,again she felt a strange sensation in her chest, uncomfortable but nice and familiar at the same time ...
"Tails can be veeeeeeeryyy cheesy at some times " - Fenrir said bored but Isis gave him a bump on his head - "OW, Hey!"
"You ruin the moment Fenrir, How romantic!" - the tropical seedrian whispered...
"Well, it's official. Welcome to our crew Cosmo "
"YES !, I'll have good company now. We'll have so much fun together Cosmo "- Isis expressed her holding her and shaking them quickly
"He he, Isis Calm down or you will pluck her arms off. .P why do not you give her a quick tour."
"As you wish Master"
Moments later ...
"Well Miss Cosmo if you´re going to stay with us you should know the ship, we start with the bridge" - RAMP said as they entered the room... - "From here we control al ...; Get off of there !"
"They catch us!" - Were three navigator droids playing with the command chair, seeing RAMP they run away...
"This is the dock where we keep all small vessels and some projects that are still being tested"
"What is it that moving there?" - Cosmo asked innocently seeing something covered with a gray blanket move to the door ...
"Excuse me a moment, Guards!,I told you must get that thing warped tight , we have not programmed it yet!" - Shouted the butler to the sentry droids who were there as they pounced upon the thing
"Sorry sir!"
"This is the kitchen, and is not so great ... because originally only the Master would travel in this ship with us, but we have expanded it a little more due the new crew members. The food is sealed in a vacuum chamber so they last much longer, which is good. I have understood that you like the bakery "- RAMP asked Cosmo -" Well ... yes"
"So, here you can practice with Isis. And if the stove begins to move, press the red button on the wall "
"Since when they put that there?"
"Last week"
"And finally ... your room" - then RAMP Cosmo opened the door and saw a simple but comfortable room with many things ... - "All this is mine?, Really?"
"Of course, I suppose you should be tired. Just relax and if you need anything ... ask to any droid or use the panel next to your bed to contact me"- Cosmo saw as RAMP left the room and while she watched around , she felt oddly comfortable and then just fell face up on the soft bed with a little smile...
While she was giving herself to the arms of Morpheus she began to dream, she dreamed of the day she was organizing the party at the Blue Typhoon, then she saw a disco ball going against her - "COSMO" - someone shouted her name and she was pushed away from the path of the disco ball, then she saw face of Tails and blushed just like him, the distance between them shortened, their lips were just millimeters away until ...
"AHH!" - She awoke frightened not by the fact that the dream was unpleasant, but because she was confused - "Why, Why I dreamed with him?, Why do I feel weird? I barely know him... "- she whispered as she regained her breath, every time she remembered the fox face she felt as if her heart would burst out her chest... -" I need to eat something "
When she stepped into the corridor she saw a small RPM droid and ...
"Sorry Could you take me to the kitchen ?, I am hungry and I don´t remember where is it"
"Of course miss, I just finished with my labors"
White Lighting, Bridge:
Tails was setting a course to the planet close to them, when ...
"GRRRRHHHGGG" - His stomach sent him a message - "OWW"
"Master, that sounded awful" - Said 1 of the 3 droids who were on the 2nd floor of the bridge
"I have not eaten anything since we were in Mobius"
"Then you must go to the kitchen, I do not think that's good for you" - then ignoring his droids the fox left the bridge, then - "At last!" - The lunatics pounced upon the captain's chair and began to spin on it ...
Kitchen of the ship:
"What would you like Miss?" – The droid asked Cosmo - "I don´t know, do you have something light ?, I have not eaten anything in a very long time"
"Weeeeell... I'm not very skilled in cooking but I think this will be fine. Have a fruit salad with sugar "- And after the droid gave her the dessert ... -" Hmm, delicious "
Moments later,Tails entered the kitchen and saw Cosmo ...
"I see you're awake and hungry, that's a good sign"
"Thanks, everyone has been very friendly" - But then sugar smeared her face - "Ow, I'm still a little dizzy"
"Do not feel bad, let me wipe your face" - Cosmo was stunned, while Tails took a napkin moistened with water and rubbed her cheek gently - "It´s done, try to eat slowly"
Cosmo felt that strange tingling in the chest and ribs again, not knowing what to say or to do- "Sorry, I must go" – then she came out of there quickly with the fruit bowl in hand
"Did I said something wrong?!"
When she arrived to an empty corridor, she paused as slowly sat on the floor and her heartbeat was reduced to normal, "Why is this happening when he comes near to me?" - She wondered, then blurred visions of past times ran through her mind:
- The moment she and Tails were watching the stars
- The time they were alone in the pond watching the moon at planet marmolin
- And when Tails assured he would protect her at all costs during the siege of Blue Typhoon courtesy of Shadow.
"What are these visions?" - After her mind calmed down, she continued eating while breathing deeply...
Isis was experimenting with Fenrir, using him as a mannequin ...
"Do not go to prick me again with that thing Isis"
"If you would stop moving…."
"This is itchy!" - Then Cosmo entered the room - "Sorry may I come in?"
"I think you already , OWWW, YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!"
"You asked for it Fenrir, of course you can come in Cosmo" - Said Isis and after she sat next to her - What brings you to my room?
"I wanted to ask you some things about Tails ..."
"What?"
"Fenrir ... right ?, How is he normally?, I mean his ways..."
"Well ...he´s always quiet , he never liked to fight, I know that because the last time we were in the middle of a problem he chose to run away rather than …, OWWWW, stop that!"
"You just say nonsense, Tails is a good person, you do not have to worry Cosmo. He is strange sometimes but he is harmless unless you try to do something bad to him"
"No Isis,I could never do such a thing. But he has been behaving ... strangely careful with me "
"Huh ...He usually do that with all the needed ones, nothing great. Do not worry "- After a while Cosmo left there -" This is getting complicated"
"Why we could not say her anything?"
"Fenrir , Remember that if she remember everything that happened … suddenly, we will traumatize he or worse. Tails told us he would be responsible for guiding her. Apparently she do not remember some things "
Test zone, Gym:
"RAMP seriously ... this is uncomfortable," - Tails said literally, he totally embarrassed as he stood naked next to a basket where were his suit and a rack full of clothes and other things...
"Master I do not understand what happens, I say ... me and the droids had to undress you on several times to clean you, basically we know almost every part of you and we are machines. What object is in embarrassing yourself in front of a machine "
"I understand your point but this does not stop being uncomfortable"
"Stop complaining and put on this" - Then RAMP give the fox some boxers apparently made of expandex but they did not know that along the corridor that connects to the test zone, Cosmo was walking and by hearing noises she went to investigate. She only saw Tails´ head as there was a fence demarcating the area of the gym and as she approached she seemed to go unnoticed and poked her head upon the door and I could say her eyes almost pop out from her face as it went from green to red in seconds, she only saw his back but that was enough ...
"RAMP although I must admit this is very comfortable, don´t you think it is very tight ... hem ...in the front"
"Master is true that this type of fabric highlights your new" attributes " a lot, but that is irrelevant , with the rest of the clothes you will not notice anything. And as you asked the rest of your clothes are all proof, and you can put them in the generator turbines and they won´t burst in flames "- the butler said but then Cosmo slipped and fell only to look up Tails and see him in front of her, then she looked as if it had a tomato instead of head...
"I ... I ... am sorry, SORRY, SORRY!" - embarrassed and with his head steaming the poor seedrian ran out of there ...
"Cosmo wait!"
"Master, YOUR PANTS !" - RAMP shouted before running behind Tails
Cosmo arrived to one of the corridors near the bedrooms, while her memory crisis worsened her blood pressure decreased after what she had seen. And in her mind still persisted questions: Why, Why lost control being near him ?, Why he behaves so friendly, and why he appears in my mind if you do not even know him?, and after calming down she went back to her room but she passed by near an open room and there was something calling her ... once she entered saw nothing special …a simple room, but seeing a rack with some similar to Tails stuffs then realized where she was ...
"It's his room" - A part of her told …GET OUT OF HERE, but curiosity was stronger and she enter the room and saw a frame hanging on the wall, when she get closer saw many of her friends, Sonic, Chris, Amy ... but with her ... - "... is not possible!"
"There you are" - When she turned back , Tails, now dressed entered the room, she did not know what to do at that time, and a mixture of emotions and feelings shook her mind but she still managed to stay stable ... - "Cosmo sorry for what you I had to see ... at the gym. Do not think I am a weirdo or something "
"I ... I do not know what to think" - Tails then placed his hand on her shoulder and ...
"It does not matter, remember that no matter what happens ... I'm here to help you " - Cosmo could feel her face warmed and then a headache siege her head until she passed out ... - "COSMO !"
Sick Bay:
"Her vital signs are stable but her nervous system is under a lot of stress"
"What could be the cause RAMP?" – Tails asked him
"Perhaps over-excitement" - Comment by RAMP made his master blush horribly, and he saw RAMP with a look of "WHAT THE HELL !?" ... - "What?!"
"Anyway, be sure she have rested enough" - After that he left the Sick bay ...
Later nighttime "arrived" in both the planet and the ship and after some hours Cosmo was awakening ...
"Here again, I cannot be any longer on this ship" - Then she quietly left the sick bay and went to the dock of White Lightning, she took the ship assigned to Fenrir and went to a forest zone... (Yes I use many planets overgrown, but if you remember what happened at the end of Season 3 of Sonic X, it makes sense)
White Lightning:
Tails was asleep in his room when ...
"MASTER WAKE UP!"
"AH!, What the hell is wrong with you R.A.M.P?"
"Miss Cosmo is not in the sick bay and we detect an unauthorized launch"
"Why didn´t you stop her ?!" - Tails asked hysterical and upset
"The ship systems are regenerating even after the party we had at Mobius, alarms and detectors, all disabled. Why do you think we are in this system in the middle of who knows where? "
"Damn, Wake up Fenrir, Isis and all the active droids we have. We have to find her fast "
"Yes sir"
"Cosmo why are you doing this?" – The sad fox asked to himself
Cosmo had crashed the ship into a huge tree and was now fleeing on foot, in the middle of the night with 3 moons as her only companions, her newly formed body was still weak , her strength was running out...
"What do I do now?" - She asked, but then heard something - "Cosmo" - someone shouted her name from above, it was Tails, by seeing him she did nothing more but run - "Come back, do not run. I do not want to hurt you! "- But she kept running until she reached the edge of a ravine that was embraced by the roots of a monstrous tree that gave form to everything in that zone...
"Please Cosmo, come back with me , you still need rest" - Tails begged but the seedrian looked scared and very confused ...
"Get away from me please!"
"But I ... Cosmo"
"Stay away please !; You do not understand what happens to me, I find it very difficult to understand. I had visions, dreams I cannot understand and that scares me and I know you're trying to help me but ... but ... I find hard to be with you. When you get close to me I feel weird, and my heart starts to beat so much that I feel my chest is going to explode and I do not understand, do not understand why ... "- The way she spoke, there was so much bitterness in her voice, but it was not because she hated Tails , it was because she could not understand what she felt at that time ... but she slipped upon the edge ...
"COSMO" - The seedrian fell in slow motion but at the last second ... - "Huh ?!"
"Hold on!" - Tails had managed to grasp her hand and holding himself with his Tails and paws, then the memories of Cosmo's mind, they all began to flow back, and the last thing she remembered was the moment when Tails held her to prevent she were swallowed by the void of space ...
"Don´t let me go!" - She screamed
"Never!" - And using all his strength Tails managed to arise from the edge and pulling him along with Cosmo falling near the tree, with she resting on him ...
"Cosmo ... please ... promise me you will not do that again." - the tired Fox Asked, Cosmo sit next to him and began to stare at him ... "What?"
"Tails?"
"What, do I have something on my face?!" - the frightened fox Asked, but Cosmo's face began to shed tears not of sorrow but of pure bliss ...
"Oh Tails, Tails!" - She pounced upon and hug him tightly, Tails was confused but then ...
"Wait !, Do you remember me ?, Do you know who I am ?!"
She just looked at him and smiling even with tears in her beautiful blue eyes and stroking his left cheek said - "I could never forget your face"
Those words filled Tails of Joy and stained his face with bright scarlet - "Ha ha haaa, you are back, now you´re really back, you recovered your memories!" - Now it was his turn to hug and roll with her in arms from side to side...
Isis flew in a glider looking for Cosmo...
"Isis, You found her?"
"Not yet R.A.M.P"
"You have to hurry, we do not know what condition she finds in" - RAMP answered by the communicator
"I know, I ... I think I found her!"
"Bring them back NOW" - Isis only smiled while a gentle and warm look formed on her face - "I think we should leave them alone for a while"
And what was she saw ... Tails and Cosmo were cuddled at the foot of the tree and embraced each other warmly as she rested her head on the soft hair sticking from Tails´...
"I have spent many beautiful nights mourning, alone in the cold. I never thought I could feel such joy again. You have no idea how much I missed you, how much I needed you"- he whispered as he gently rubbed his face against one of Cosmo´s Roses
"I just remember a presence calling me beyond the veil. When I saw you,I did not think much to go at your side, but everything was clouded, and I did not remember you but now … I realize what I felt, my heart was calling you out, I did not understand, did not understand that all I wanted was to be with you "- she said as she watched him directly with his eyes completely lit ...
"So that means that… that you and… and I - Tails was silenced because Cosmo pressed her lips against him before burying her face in his chest mane and whisper - "You know the answer" - Then Tails rested his face on her head and thought with a smile...
"Seledrin you blasted moron. You do not know how to give good news ... but you give good surprises "
