Prologue part 2: You're on your own part 2

6 am in the morning and Tails had to fly in his Tornado mk IV for many miles just to meet with his contractor. Most of the time a sleep deprived person wouldn't make the risk to fly a plane unless they wanted to crash and burn. But for Tails he was able to fully function on an early morning like this.

The trip would take 45 minutes or less since his newest Mk Tornado has more speed than before. He had to be careful though, gasoline was hella expensive these days. Ever since yesterday in which he told Knuckles about the troubling memory that has haunted him for many years he did feel a little better after a good two hour cry.

"...Damn...just damn Tails. To go through that s*t if I was in your shoes, I would be seething. To go through what you went through..."

Knuckle's hands were shaking while he was embracing Tail's trembling self. He wished that he was there sooner that day, Maybe just maybe that Sonic would still be...

"If only I was there to stop it. I'm sorry buddy...I'm a terrible friend!"

Knuckles didn't have to do that for him. Tails knew that Knuckles was not to blame for anything. Compared to seven years ago he would blame everyone for that day, that no one was there to save them both...It was all their damn fault. Cutting was the only satisfaction that Tails had so he wouldn't have to go through the nightmare again again and again.

Luckily that was three years after the incident. If Knuckles didn't find him in the tub that time, Tails would've passed for good. Sonic wouldn't want him to end his own life. He would want Tails to fight for his own life and live in his honor.

Thinking about it now Tails realised that he isn't a kid anymore and Sonic was no longer there to protect him so he had to rely on himself from now on. Also thanks to Knuckles he can now face his memory (somewhat). The one he tried to block for so long by the endless darkness.

7 years ago

"Sonic! Where are you!"

Young 8 year old Tails was surrounded by a dozen newly modeled Eggman robots. The sound of explosions and lazers nearby was nothing new to the young hero. He's been fighting Dr. Ivo Robotnik (AKA Dr.Eggman) a couple of times with his big brother figure but for some reason he felt like something was off. The way the eggman robots were designed and the way they functioned were way different than the ones in the past.

They looked the same with their egg shaped selves so it kinda fooled him at first but Tails saw that these robots were alot more mobile, durable, faster, even their gun's felt faster. If it wasn't for Sonic's teachings he would've been shot by now. He doesn't know how Eggman did it but somehow he was able to make his robots stronger than before while looking the same. It was a very smart deceptive tactic but Tails stood his ground. Once again he calls out to Sonic.

"Sonic!"

As if right on cue a blue streaking blur zipped around and destroyed the robots in mere seconds. It stopped right next to Tails and pat him on the back. With a cocky smile he spoke.

"Whoo haah! This is awesome isn't it little buddy?"

Tails looked to his side to see his long time hero and older brother figure Sonic the Hedghog as usual being his calm, excited, cocky self. Tails felt a sense of relief.

"You actually held your own there. Sorry that I kept you waiting, Eggman really wanted to blast me out of the sky."

"Me? Wait? You're always on time to save the day Sonic."

The almost lost confidence Tails felt reinvigorated itself. Though the strange feeling Tails had needed to be addressed just in case.

"Say Sonic. Did you noticed something strange about the robot? Like they got stronger?"

Sonic rubbed the tip of his nose with his finger.

"Heh that just means Robuttnik is actually taking me seriously. Oh sorry I meant 'us' seriously. Although..."

"Although what?"

Sonic walked a couple of steps forward to the edge of the silverish metallic platform they were standing on and looked over.

"Though we destroyed many of Eggman's destructive robots, bases, giant robots, ect he actually managed to bring back the Death Egg."

The Death Egg, the ultimate doomsday device created by Dr.Eggman to have the power to take over the world and build his dreamed Eggman-Land. But the thing is the Death Egg compared to the original was twice as big than it. Whatever Eggman was planning didn't look or sound good in the slightest.

"Hey why the long face buddy? We can beat Robuttnik no problem. We just gotta believe in ourselves like always. Afterward, we can grab some grub."

Tails quickly slapped his cheeks. He didn't know what came over him. Of course they were gonna beat Eggman, they always do...they always do...they always-

"Hewwwwwooooooooooo Mr.Prowa? Can you hear mewe?!"

"Oh s*t uh sorry about that. I was in my own little world heheheh."

"Don't wowwy about it. That happens to Siwwe alot too. Sew all you would have to do now is sign here."

That's right, he arrived in Siliconus City and met up with rrrgh Silly, his contractor. Silly is a snow white persian cat lady with a too happy go lucky outlook of life though she has a professional career in her hands. She tries to act cute for a 40 year cat woman and she flirts alot...it always sends a chill down Tail's spine, alot of the times not the good kind.

Although her all white suit and pants makes her look professional her out of place 12 ft clown shoes and big pink bow really brought out more of the weirdo vibes. Tails had to admit though he was kinda impressed with how she did the curls in her hair. He quickly looked up and down the contract, reading word by word and once he was satisfied he twirled the pen in his hand and wrote his name on the line in a fancy signature style.

"(I gotta admit 45 dollars a month sounds like a fair deal. At least the home I'll be settling in is near my job. With that recent pay increase I got for the hard work I've been providing, paying on time will be a breeze.) So are we settl-?"

Before Tails could finish his sentence Silly swiped the paper from the desk, scanned it using her swirly glasses, then rolled it up all in one swift motion. Damn she's fast.

"(Damn she's fast...huh?)"

"Alwighty! Mr.Prowa you're all set and might Siwwe say you've been a vawuable emplowee as far as Siwwe has seen from your file. Sister Mowwe always reports her appweciation for your contributions to our neighbowahood."

"Yeah sometimes I can't tell if she really feels happy about my contribution or just pissed off all the time."

"Awww she's always been like that. Even Siwwe can't tell if she laughs at my jokes or she didn't get it at all?"

"Sigh yeah I know but I respect her responsibility and position...and her toughness. So if we're done I'd like to settle in if you don't mind?"

Tails was gonna get up from his seat but Silly was on the desk on her stomach, their faces almost touching causing Tails to turn red. The look in Silly's Emerald green slitted eyes and seductive smile meant to Tails that she was gonna flirt...sigh again.

"Be honest with Silly Mr.Prower."

Her voice became more seductive and at her age, the mature kind. Even her cutesy word play crap was gone although she still refers to herself in third person.

"Do you not find Silly attractive?"

"I never said that nor did it ever come out from my mouth."

Silly slid up more with her body but Tails moved back slightly. He almost saw her white, frilly bra'd cleavage so he kept his eyes looking up to avoid it. Silly's hot breath brushed near Tail's cheek sending shivers down his spine.

"So are you certain that you'll still refuse Silly's offer to come with Silly for a drink or two?"

Tail's voice cracked awkwardly.

"I'm 15 ma'm."

"That you are. So why not spend some quality time with Silly hmm? Is it because I'm too old for you *giggle*?"

"I think I mentioned that many *gulp* times about that yet I feel like with all due respect words go into your ear and out the other."

"Mmmm so cute."

(Bad touch, BAD TOUCH!!) Silly traced her fingers along Tails cheek all the way underneath his chin.

"Are you positive?"

"Y-y-y-y-y-y-yes I'm positive."

"OKAY!"

As Silly got her body off the desk Tails fell off his chair. She then patted herself off and started walking towards the front door.

"Siwwe hopes you enjoy your neeeeeewwwwww home Mr.Prowa *giggle* bubyeee!"

Silly slammed the door behind her. Tails can hear her singing while skipping along to a nursery rhyme as she entered her Pink Limited edition Bugatti Veyron (very very expensive vehicle) and drove off at an insane amount of speed. She must be rich as s*t to afford that.

"She must be rich as s*t to afford that...Hmm? Bahh forget it right now I'm gonna start living my new life. I will get stronger in case a disaster happens again. I'm not gonna let anyone die again...I swear it...Sonic."

End of part 2...Complete

And so it begins. This will be Tail's day to grow physically, mentally and heal psychologically. There will be many dangers awaiting his future but Tails is willing to hurdle over the hardships that would drag him down.

This is his day.
