Sonic-X: One-Shot Adventures
Chapter 18: Tails' Traumatic Past Revealed.
Authors Note: Hi guys SuperTailsFan0812 checking in. Chapter 18 is here.
I'm already up to 18 chapters, this is the most chapters I've ever uploaded.
After seeing episode 18, I should do the aftermath of how Tails was feeling after the dam event and wanted him to tell Chris about his past from when he was born when he was bullied to right now. Tails was just 4 when he met Sonic. Also, this chapter IS a day after chapter 17.
There will be Tails, Sonic and Chris moments.
This may be quite a sad and emotional chapter and I say, it made me quite emotional, just to think someone as young as Tails went through all of this in his past :(
Just letting you know that this chapter will contain depressing events and quite violent moments during Tails explaining his part so please, please please take care and view this chapter carefully and at your own risk.
... And I'm embarrassing myself again. Lol. This chapter may get to 3,000 words. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter of Sonic-X: One-Shot Adventures.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic, Sonic X and its characters. SEGA and 4kids TV do.
Chapter 18: Tails' Traumatic Past Revealed.
Tails was feeling very sad right now and was sitting alone, by himself curled in his tails, reflecting about what occurred around 4 hours ago, tears in his eyes. This is very very rare as Tails was normally so happy, but not today.
About 4 hours ago. He and Chris protected a nature preserve after crashing landing from a battle with Eggman. Tails had to fix the X-Tornado. Chris and Tails got to have a long conversation about talking about what they are going to do. Tails also told Chris that he still misses home but now likes Station Square.
That was not the emotional part. The emotional bit was attempting to prevent the guys from building a dam.
Tails got the X-Tornado fixed and they took a little stroll. That's when Tails and Chris saw the Dam being constructed. Being new to earth, Tails has not seen a dam before so he was confused. When Tails was trying to stop them. One of the workers called him a pest which triggered Tails to yell at the animals.
Chris was worried but confused by this action. He asked the young fox if he was okay. Tails told Chris that everyone picked on him but didn't tell the whole story as he was not ready to talk about it. Now he knew he needed to tell Chris, Mr Tanaka, Ella and Chuck about this tragic and Traumatic past.
When they got home, Tails was in a very sad mood which worried everyone. Tails was usually so happy. Chris had been worrying about Tails mostly. When Tails told him that he was picked on, the young fox was very sad but he didn't cry. Tails was thinking about his traumatic past all that time and was still haunted by it.
Due to the young fox being in deep thought and sadness, he didn't notice Chris approaching him. Tails felt a gentle hand on his back which made him yelp loudly which caused everyone to turn to him.
Tails turned to Chris who next to him on one knee with his left hand on his back. Tails quickly wiped the tears away.
"Tails, don't worry. It's just me." Chris assured.
Tails looked at the ground again, still feeling very sad but he didn't want to cry as he didn't want everyone to think he was weak.
Chris placed his hand on Tails' shoulder gently. "Tails, Are you feeling okay? You've been like this ever since we came home." Chris asked, feeling great concern for the young fox.
Tails shook his head. He was not feeling okay. "No.." Tails responded.
Chris looked concerned as he tried to find a way to find out why Tails was so upset. "Tails, Are you still upset at what happened today?" Chris asked.
Tails nodded, still remaining quiet.
Chris placed both hands on Tails' shoulders. "Tails, Is there something else that is upsetting you?" Chris softly inquired.
Tails took a deep breath and looked at Chris. Tails decided to tell Chris, Chuck, Ella and Mr Tanaka the truth from his very traumatic past.
Tails looked at Chris with a look of pure sadness. "Chris, I think it's time for you to know the truth." Tails explained solemnly.
Chris looked confused. "What do you mean Tails?" Chris asked. "Is everything okay?"
Tails nodded. "Yes. Chris. I have not told anyone this as it is way too emotional to talk about. But now, it's time you knew what happened to me when I was very young." Tails told Chris.
"Did something happen?" Chris asked, still not certain what Tails was talking about.
Tails took another deep breath, nodded and replied, "You know when you told us yesterday that you didn't have friends when you were younger. I-I know what it's like..." Tails trailed off, looking at the ground.
Chris looked shocked. Y-you mean.. You had no friends when you were younger?" Chris asked, quite shocked, but sad at the same time.
Tails nodded. "Yes, I've experienced this before and it's really not fun and it's very sad." Tails explained..
Chris looked at Tails with sympathy. "I'm so sorry Tails. I didn't know this happened." Chris apologized with sympathy.
"I had an extremely traumatic past when I was very young." Tails explained.
Chris hugged Tails, to which Tails hugged back. "Tails, I had no idea. Do you want to talk about it?" Chris asked.
Tails let out a sad noise and thought for a minute. Tails slowly waved his tails in a sad movement.
Chris noticed the young fox's tense form and tried to calm him down. "Tails, if you don't want to talk about it, that is okay," Chris comforted.
Tails looked at Chris before nodding. "Okay. I'll try my best to explain everything that happened in my past." Tails nodded.
Chris beamed, Tails was going to talk about his very emotional past and felt so proud for Tails explaining something so difficult. "That is extremely brave to tell us Tails," Chris told while patting Tails' back.
Tails looked at Chris and asked, "Could you go and get the others, I want to tell everyone what happened." Tails requested.
Chris nodded and stood up. "Alright Tails," Chris confirmed.
Chris looked back at Tails and noticed he was quite sad. Chris hopes that Tails would be okay telling about his past.
Chris walked to Sonic and tapped him on the back. "Hey, Sonic?" Chris asked.
Sonic turned and saw Chris. "What's up, pal?" He asked.
Chris grinned and explained. "Tails wants you and the others to come to him. He wants to tell us about something." Chris explained.
Sonic nodded and whistled, getting everyone's attention. "Hey guys, everyone. Tails wants us to come to him." Sonic told the group.
Everyone gathered around Tails. Wondering what the young fox needed to tell them.
Tails turned around and saw that everyone was next to him. Tails beamed at the support. "Thank you, guys." Tails thanked.
Sonic knelt down beside his best friend. "What is it you have to tell us, buddy?" Sonic asked.
Tails took a deep breath. Tails glanced up and Sonic and explained everything, "After what happened today and when we were at the nature preserve, I have decided I'm going to tell you all my past. I feel that Chris, Mr Tanaka, Chuck and Ella needs to know." Tails revealed.
Tails was in a sad mood so talking about his past may help him to cheer up. Tails normally doesn't like talking about himself to anyone, scared that they will make fun of him. So Tails was so brave to tell his traumatic past.
Sonic placed his hand on Tails' shoulder, wondering if Tails would be able to tell his past. "Are you sure you want to talk about your past, buddy?" Sonic asked in concern.
Tails nodded, not seeming to back down from this. "Yeah, it's time for them to know about my past." Tails approved.
Sonic nodded, knowing that Tails needed to tell everyone his past as he wanted to get this off his chest. He felt really proud of Tails as the young fox was opening up about his feelings.
Tails beamed and let everyone sit by him. Chris was on his left side, Sonic was on the right and everyone else was gathered in front of him.
"Okay, this is the one topic that I don't like discussing so I may stop a few times so I won't get upset." Tails told everyone.
Everyone nodded. They moved closer to Tails to listen closely to hear this extremely emotional story. They felt like if they were closer, Tails would be able to tell this story alright.
"Alright Tails, if anytime you need to stop. That is okay. You don't have to rush telling this story, just take your time." Chris notified in a gentle tone.
"Okay, I was born on the 16th of October, my mum and Dad are Rosemary and Amadeus Prower. My parents thought I was so cute with my two tails. They called me Miles. I don't like it but it was better than having no name. I was a very cute and curious baby and still was when growing up." Tails revealed. "I used to be very shy at the time as well."
Chris, Chuck, Mr Tanaka and Ella awed at this.
Tails smiled and continued his story. "When I had meal times, I had my favourite meals and two desserts." Tails said.
"You had two desserts after dinner Tails?" Amy asked, very shocked.
Tails nodded smiling. "Yeah, my mum and dad said I'm their favourite son and I was the only child so that is why." Tails explained.
Chris smiled at this. "What else did they do Tails?" Chris asked.
Tails smiled and started talking again, "I used to be super spoiled by my mum and dad and I had gotten lots of Christmas and birthday presents." Tails said, smiling at the memories of his mum and dad, he still misses them so much.
Chris smiled. "That's good Tails. Do you want to keep going?" Chris asked.
Tails nodded and continued, "When I was 2 years old, I had gotten a liking to planes and machines and my IQ had risen to a high level of intelligence. My parents built me a workshop for my 2nd birthday to create machines and inventions." Tails explained.
Chuck smiled. "What kind of machines did you build?" Chuck asked, quite interested to hear.
Tails smiled. "All sorts of inventions. Like planes, machines and all sorts of creations. My first creation was T-Pup, which is my robotic dog. I even made my first plane called the Whirlwind." Tails explained.
"Did you learn to fly the Whirlwind, or did you figured it out yourself?" Chuck asked.
Tails smiled. "I knew how to fly it as I build it to be very easy to fly." Tails replied.
Chris was amazed. "You knew how to fly a plane when you were just 2?" Chris asked.
Tails nodded. "Yeah, I was a very smart cub and knew about machines and technology." Tails explained.
Chuck smiled at this. Tails was a very smart kid and was glad that he met the young fox. "Was this one of your best moments?" Chuck asked.
Tails nodded and continued. "It was the best time. In the middle of December, I had the best Christmas ever. I got lots of presents and gifts. The next day, we went to a shop that sold parts of machines. B-but..." Tails stopped, his voice getting sadder.
"But what Tails?" Chuck asked, quite concerned for Tails' sudden stop.
Tails breathed in and out and began speaking again.
"My parents and I were going to head back home after we got some parts for a plane I was building. There was a bad thunderstorm. I didn't have a phobia of thunder then. We were nearly home and.. and... and my parents got hit by a lightning bolt." Tails stopped, trying not to cry, this was so emotional to talk about.
Tails stayed silent as he tried to regain his composure. It was emotional and very hard to talk about.
After staying silent for a couple of minutes, Tails began speaking again. "I-I ran o-over to them a-as f-fast as I could to try and wake them up. B-but no matter how hard I tried. They wouldn't wake up. I sobbed out their names but they still would not respond. Due to my high level of intelligence, I checked their pulses but. I didn't feel one. I instantly knew that my parents had passed away right in front of me. That is when I developed a severe fear of thunder as I am worried that I may be hit by it too." Tails narrated, exhaling in and out, finding it more and more difficult to explain about his past than he thought.
Everyone gasped at this. Poor Tails. Tails must miss his parents so bad before he met Sonic and the others.
Chris felt so much sympathy for Tails. Chris knew that Tails had no parents after Tails had told him after him telling his friends his childhood, Chris never knew that they passed like that. And what is worst is when they die right in front of you.
Chris moved closer to Tails. "Tails, I had no idea. I am so sorry." Chris spoke, giving Tails a comforting hug to which the fox returned.
Tails broke the hug and hugged his knees in his arms. Chris laid his hand on Tails' shoulder. "Tails, you can stop if you don't want to tell us," Chris told. "It is okay."
Tails managed to smile at Chris. "No, I-it's ok Chris. I will keep going. I miss them so much still, but I know that they will always be with me in my heart." Tails said.
Tails took a deep breath. "I sat there sobbing for the whole night, wishing that they were still alive. I eventually cried myself to sleep. " Tails told before his voice cracked again. Tails instantly shut his eyes tightly shut.
Tails wiped away the tears that now fell from his eyes. "I-I'm s-sorry guys. T-This is getting very h-hard and e-emotional to talk about." Tails said, his voice breaking but refused to cry still, but he was getting close.
Chris knew how difficult this story is being explained. "I know Tails, I know. It's okay if you don't want to continue. Just take your time." Chris assured, patting Tails' back.
Tails nodded and took his time explaining what happened next. "When I woke up, I was in some kind of care home. I was found crying and they decided to take me in." Tails explained.
Tails took a deep breath before continuing. "I thought they were going to be nice to me but unfortunately, I was wrong. When I asked for food, they would beat me up and they would let me starve, just because of my tails." Tails told, trying even harder not to cry.
Ella, Mr Tanaka, Chris and Chuck gasped at this. How could someone do this to a child who is barely a toddler yet?
Chuck felt so angry that someone would do this to a kid. "How dare they!?" Chuck shouted in anger.
"I know. When I heard it, I was very angry about it." Sonic agreed.
Mr Tanaka nodded. "I agree, no one should do that." He told.
Tails continued. "After a few months, I could not take it anymore so I ran away from home and moved to Cocoa Island which was a very nice island. I built my first house on a small hill with my dog T-Pup who was my only friend then." Tails explained, "I quite enjoyed it. I began to build lots of inventions."
Tails breathed in and out. This was nearly getting unbearable to talk about this.
"One day I was out playing with T-Pup when people began mocking me because of my two-tails, they would yell mean things AND physically beat me up. Just because I was different. The bullies found my house and.. and.. and... Th-They burnt it down. I was so upset but SO mad." Tails explained.
"They burnt your house down!?" Ella asked. Tails nodded. "Oh, you poor thing," Ella said in sympathy.
"After about a year, I decided I would leave Cocoa Island but there was some noise that woke me from my sleep. I came out and a little flicky told me it was some kind of army called the Battle Bird Armada was attacking Cocoa island. I had to go on an adventure to defeat the war and I just turned 3 years old." Tails explained.
Chris was shocked. "You were three and had to fight a bird army?!" Chris said in disbelief.
"Y-yeah." Tails nodded, wiping some more tears that rolled down his cheeks.
"Wow! You must've been scared, but so brave," Chuck said as he was worried for the young fox's safety.
"Mmm-hmm. I was extremely scared and confused but met some nice animals along the way and they helped me. I risked my life to fight back and I managed to succeed." Tails continued.
Everybody cheered loudly at this, proud of the young fox's heroic adventure.
"But, However. Even though I saved many people in that adventure, The people were not as grateful as I thought. They told me that even though I did save them, I was nothing but a freak. But that was only the start. Every day the bullying got worse and worse." Tails explained.
Everyone gasped in horror. This kid just saved an entire island but all they did in return was beat him up. That was so cruel.
"The beatings had gotten so bad, I had no choice but to move to Westside Island due to the bullying getting too stressful. I thought the people would be nice to me on the island this time, but I was so wrong." Tails told.
"The bullies kept calling me very hurtful and mean names, they beat me up so bad I was left with lots of cuts and bruises." Tails said.
Tails sighed in sadness as this part is the most emotional part of the whole story.
"G-Guys, T-this is the m-most e-emotional part a-about the story about my past." Tails explained.
"What happened?" Chris gently asked. "You don't have to rush telling this, you can tell it at your own pace." Chris soothed, understanding this may be the hardest part to talk about.
Tails shut his eyes tightly. "I only just turned 4. The bullies did something that still upsets me today. T-they found where I lived and burned my house again. B-b-but not only that, they d-d-destroyed T-T-T-T-Pup and began beating me harder and shouted more mean names." Tails spoke as tears fell from his eyes. He opened his eyes and spoke quietly. "A-a-a-and T-T-T-T-Pup was my only friend t-t-then."
Everyone gasped at this, they felt so much sympathy for Tails.
Tails began sniffing shakily, almost on the verge of breaking down. He began getting more upset. Tails shut his eyes again as the tears slid from his eyes.
Tails curled himself in his Tails as he began shaking, about to break down.
Chris took note of this and tried to gently comfort the whimpering fox. "Tails, If you need to cry, that is okay." Chris soothed. "There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Tails continued to fight not to cry. "No, I-I don't want to cry... I w-w-want t-t-to b-b-be s-s-s-s-strong." Tails whimpered.
Chris laid his hand on Tails' shoulder as a gesture to say that it's okay. "Tails. You don't have to hold back the tears, it's okay to cry. We'll be there to comfort you. You can lean on my shoulder if you want to." Chris comforted.
Tails could no longer keep in the tears and sank his head in his knees and broke down in tears completely, sobbing entirely now in sadness and pain. Tails had been grasping the pain and sadness coped inside of him for a long time. Poor kid is still very young.
Chris felt so bad for Tails as his expression shifted to sympathy and remorse for the young fox, Almost to the point of crying himself.
Chris had never heard Tails cry before. Chris thought it sounds so painful to hear the young fox cry than he thought. It must've been awful being beaten up all the time, being called mean names and the saddest thing is watching your only friend being destroyed.
Chris held out his arms for Tails, wanting to comfort Tails as best as he could. "Come here Tails." Chris soothed.
Tails shut his eyes tightly, the tears sliding down his cheeks as he slowly moved over to Chris, sobbing still. In a few seconds Tails had made it over to Chris.
Chris hugged Tails as gently as he could to comfort the distressed and very upset fox. "Tails, Tails. It's okay. Please don't cry. We'll never make fun of you, I promise you that we will forever be friends." Chris consoled, beginning to tenderly rub Tails' back to make him feel better and comforted.
Tails hugged Chris back and buried his face in Chris' shoulder and sobbed loudly. "Shhh, shhhhhh. It's okay Tails, Just let it out, it's okay." Chris soothed.
Sonic began stroking Tails' head to try and comfort his distraught best friend and brother. "Tails, Tails. It's okay buddy. It's okay. It's from the past. This is the present." Sonic soothed. "That will never happen to you again. I'll never let that happen."
Tails sniffled and tried to stop crying but discovered it difficult to stop no matter how hard he tried. He was extremely upset to calm down. Tails had reached his breaking point.
Tails was still sobbing hysterically, very upset and broken right now, Tails didn't want to remember the pain but... He could hear every insult, physically feel every beating and all the pain.
Chuck felt so much sympathy. "Tails, I'm so sorry." Chuck apologized, gently setting his hand on Tails' left shoulder.
Chris was still rubbing gentle circles on Tails' back to comfort the emotional fox.
Ella and Mr Tanaka looked very sad. Everyone did feel Tails' pain. Poor guy was so young. Tails did not deserve to be treated this way.
Chris placed his other hand on Tails' left shoulder. "Tails, We'll let you calm down a bit, and then you can tell us what happened after that." Chris gently advised.
Tails nodded and sobbed even loudly, his body shaking as the tears kept falling from his eyes in rivers. He was so upset and distressed. Chris was rubbing Tails' back in a silent attempt to comfort the distraught fox.
Sonic stroked Tails' head to comfort. Sonic knew Tails needed connection comfort.
Chris knew it too and continued working to comfort Tails.
Around 30 minutes, Tails had fully calmed down now but was still crying a little. He still was very upset.
Chris slowly broke the hug and gently sat Tails next to him, but kept his hand resting tenderly on Tails' back. "Tails. Are you feeling a little better now?" Chris softly asked, remembering to be very gentle with Tails, who was so young and fragile who needs lots of support. Chris had no idea that Tails was treated this way.
Tails sniffled twice and wiped his eyes but more tears streamed down his face. "I-I think so Chris. This story is so difficult to tell than I thought it was going to be." Tails answered in between more sobbing.
"Are you ready to continue to tell us about your past now Tails?" Chuck gently asked.
Tails nodded and stopped crying. "Yeah, I think I'm ready to tell you all the rest. I'll take my time." Tails nodded, wiping the few tears that were in his eyes.
Tails took a deep breath before explaining where he left off before he broke down 30 minutes ago. "After I watched my only friend being destroyed, I broke down. I ran as fast as I could, b-but they easily caught me up and punched and kicked me. I began screaming and sobbing hysterically." Tails began sobbing again.
Chris gently rubs Tails' back. Tails resumed crying but didn't want to stop speaking. "It's okay Tails." Chris soothed.
"The beatings got worse and more violent. I was getting weaker from the bullying." Tails sobbed.
"They punched me so hard in the forehead that I've gotten a concussion." Tails explained. "It left me unconscious."
Tails took in a very shaky breath. "I woke up still in the forest in Westside Island. I felt sick from the headache, tiredness and nausea. I began vomiting harshly on the ground. I did it for about 6 to 8 minutes and then I passed out." Tails explained, feeling his stomach churn at the memory.
Chris gasped, Tails went through even worse than him.
Tails looked at Sonic and grinned tearfully. "This part will always be my favourite part." Tails declared with pure happiness.
"When I woke up, I was in some kind of house. I saw Sonic standing there with a warm smile. I knew that he was friendly but due to my constant bullying. I was worried but terrified. Sonic assured me that He was friendly and will never hurt me." Tails explained. "I was also a huge fan."
Tails smiled. "I was slowly getting used to staying with Sonic. It was quite fun and not so terrifying. Sonic introduced me to chilli dogs which became my favourite food." Tails explained.
"After around a month. Sonic took me to the adoption centre. I knew Sonic was adopting me. I was so happy that I cried." Tails explained tears welling in his eyes.
Chris beamed at this. "That's a really happy ending Tails," Chris said.
Tails looked sadly at the ground. There was a little more to tell. "I'm afraid there is more to tell, Chris." Tails said sadly.
Chris looked shocked. "Tails, is there more to your past?" Chris asked, concerned.
Tails nodded, starting to cry again. "Yes! There is more!" Tails sobbed.
Chris gave Tails a sympathetic hug to calm him down. "Shh, shhhhh. It's okay Tails. Just tell us calmly and slowly, alright." Chris spoke softly
Tails rubbed his eyes with his fists to get rid of the tears in his eyes. "Even though I now live with Sonic. I would still be called rude and mean names. I even get bullied when Sonic is not looking. I went in a state of mild depression as I was never loved except for Sonic." Tails sobbed.
Everyone gasped at this, this story was getting very emotional now.
Ella laid her hand on Tails' shoulder. "Did you recover from your mild depression?" Ella asked.
Tails wiped the tears that continuously fell down his cheeks and nodded.
Tails smile weakly as he finished the concluding part of the story. "Sonic helped me through my depression and a couple of weeks later, I recovered from it. A-and that concludes the story of my past." Tails ended.
At this point, Tails began sobbing again. Everyone else wiped the tears were gathered in their eyes. This story was so emotional that it made them sad just to hear that the young fox was treated like that in his past.
Chris then realised why Tails was so shy when he and Tails met for the very first time. "Tails? Is this why you are very shy?" Chris asked.
Tails nodded and buried his face in Sonic's shoulder."Y-y-yes.." Tails sobbed.
Sonic pulled Tails into a hug. "Shhhhh. It's okay buddy. I will not let anyone lay a finger on you. You are my special younger brother and I will always protect you, I promise you, buddy." Sonic promised.
"Sonic, do you think I am really special." Tails asked.
Sonic nodded before tightening the hug, comforting Tails. "Of course buddy, you are very special," Sonic confirmed.
Tails wanted to be alone for a bit. "Hey, guys. I'm sorry but.. I really need to be alone for a while." Tails sobbed. "This story made me so upset now."
Chris laid a gentle hand on Tails' left shoulder. "That is okay Tails. We understand. We'll give you some time alone. Just to let you know that we'll never ever treat you like that. You are a very special friend to me." Chris told the young fox as gently as possible.
Tails smiled at the human boy. "Thank you, Chris." Tails thanked.
At one at a time, everyone gave Tails a big hug to comfort him. Tails appreciated the hugs. Chris was the last to leave.
Tails laid his hand on Tails' back and spoke with comfort and gentleness. "Tails, I know telling your past was very difficult today, but that was the bravest thing I've ever seen anyone do. I really feel bad about what happened and I assure you that it will never ever happen. I promise." Chris assured, giving Tails a big, but comforting hug. "You will always be my best friend and also, Sonic and I will protect you too."
Tails smiled and began sobbing in Chris' shoulder, he was still very upset. Telling his past had really taken an extreme toll of Tails' emotions. Chris gently shushed Tails and rubbed his back.
"No, no-no. It's okay Tails. Just let it out, it's okay." Chris soothed, still rubbing Tails' back as the young fox sobbed in his shoulder.
Around 5 to 8 minutes Tails had finally calmed down. Today was an emotional day for Tails.
Tails smiled as he cheered up. "T-thank you, Chris." He thanked.
Chris gave Tails another big hug before leaving the fox alone for a little while.
As Chris left the room, he could hear Tails sobbing again, Chris really felt bad now, he never thought as someone as young as Tails, went through all of that, just because he had two tails. "Poor Tails," Chris said quietly... "He has been through a lot during his past. Even worse than me..."
Chapter End.
Authors Note: Well, that is the end of chapter 18 and- 'sniff sniff.' That was more emotional than I thought. 'sob'. Sorry. I'm getting emotional now.
That was quite an emotional chapter, I felt like I really wrote this super well.
I wanted Tails to cry for the first time in this chapter. I cried so many times in this chapter due to how emotional it was. I wanted to have a Tails and Chris moment at the start and end of the chapter.
There were a few references in this chapter. First, The Whirlwind is Tails' car in the SEGA racing games. The second reference is Rosemary and Amadeus Prower are Tails' real parents from the Archie comics so I wanted to add that reference and they are Tails' parents.
The third reference is the part when Tails tells everyone how his parents passed. That is a reference to the very first story I ever wrote called Astraphobia. The fourth reference is the same as the previous reference only it is a reference to the Sonic Headcanon about Tails' fear of lightning and thunder.
The fifth reference is the part when Tails faces the bird army which IS a reference to the game Tails' Adventure. The Sixth reference is From the Archie comics. T-Pup is Tails' robotic dog in the comic Tails' Adventure.
And the final reference is when I wrote the part where Tails got a concussion. This is actually a real-life thing I experienced. I was 8 when that happened and I was vomiting to 15 to 20 minutes apart.
This is my longest chapter in this story with 5,544 words. WOW. I'm so proud of myself!
Next chapter is 19 and you are all in for quite a spooky chapter.
See you next time, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and I will see you in chapter 19.
See you in the chapter...
Bye for now.
