Part 1
Sally stared down at her feet soaking in the power ring
pool, watching the ripples spread out bigger an bigger. She was in
such deep thought she didn't notice Sonic jog up behind her. "Hey,
Sal," Sonic whispered. She didn't stir. "Sal...SAL!" with that final
"SAL!", Sonic grabbed her shoulders. Sally jumped up and gave a
quick yelp. "SONIC!" Sally gasped grabbing her chest. "Don't ever
sneak up on me like that again!" "Yeah...right." He muttered under
his breath."So what's on your mind?" "oh... nothing important."
Sonic could see that this was not true, but decided to leave it
alone. Sonic then sat down beside her holding her close, watching
the sun plumet behind the great mountains. There they sat for about
5 minutes when Sonic jumped up. "What's wrong?" Sally asked
startled. "Chili-dog attack" he chuckled then speeding off. Sally
grinned "Sonic never seems to think with anything but his stomach."
She sat there watching the sun sink deep as the few clouds changed
from a bright orange to a deepaning blue, till a seeming black
curtain covered the sky. Seeing there being no benefit in sitting
catching a cold, she stood and trotted to her hut.
15 minutes later in the multi-purpose room kitchen
"Keep ze handz off mi denner" Antoine barked as he snatched the
hot dogs from Sonic's grasp. "Common Ant can't I just have one?"
"No!, abzolutly not!" With that Sonic got down on his knees and
begged Antoine to give him hot dog. ([{ I'm not trying to ruin
Sonic's character in this scene, I'm just trying to show how much
chili-dogs really mean to him. "What will you do for me Antoine
asked noticing the sudden authority he had. "Anything." Sonic begged
noticing Antoine beginning to cave in. "Anything?...Well..." Antoine
thought, then a grin formed on his face. "I've been so bizy lately I
haven't had time to... iron my shortz." "Anything...But that!" Sonic
added. "Well then, I'm guessing I'll be having a good sack." "Fine!,
I'll iron your stupid shorts." Sonic grumbled after recieving the
hot dog. Rotor and Bunny stood there trying to stifle their
laughter. Sonic took no notice but just walked passed them, out the
door making a bee-line to his hut. He nearly forgot to open his door
when he screached to a halt to the front of his hut. He quickly sped
off to his cupboards pulling out a can of beans and a hot dog bun.
He poured the can of beans in a minature pot and putting it on the
stove. After a few minutes of letting the beans warm up, he took a
latell and scooped some beans, and poured it over his hot dog and
bun. He then sat down preparing to scarf his master piece. But
before he took a bite he noticed somthing stirring in his bed. He
slowly crept over to his bed. He could make out some sort of figure
under the covers. He lowered his hand to take off the covers, but
just before he grabbed the sheet the form screamed as if it was
being brutally tortured. Sonic fell back in astonishment. He quckly
picked himself up and grabbed the sheet pulling it back. On the bed
laid a two tailed figure screaming, pulling on his his hair as he
rolled back an forth. "TAIL!" Sonic grabbed the bundle of fur and
shook him. But to no avail the kit just kept screaming. Sonic
started to panic, he picked up tails and sped off to Rotor's work
shop.
Same Time in Sallys hut
"Nicole," Sally said to her minature computer. "Please show
me a map of Robotropolis with all known computer serv..." Sally was
cut off when she herd a fur raising scream. A scream of nothing but
pure terror. Sally shot up as a chill ran down her spine. {That came
from Sonics hut!} she thought as she ran out forgeting to turn off
NICOLE.
Rotors Workshop
Tails carried on for an hour, screaming till his voice went
hoarse. Rotor tried to knock him out with morphine, but after
injecting him the third time without results he gavr up. A crowd
gathered out side the workshop, "Please go back to your huts." Sonic
and Sally shouted over the crowd. But it was no use. Sally and Sonic
pushed their way into the shop as tails *finally* droned down to a
wimper. "Hey big guy, how you feeling" Sonic asked a little etchy
and in deep concern. "uh...whe...OOOOOOH my head!" Sally walk over
to his side. "Your going to be alright. Your in Rotors shop, how do
you feel!" Sally asked. "OOOoooOOOhhhHHHhhh...Like having my head in
a vice, with Robotnik sitting on me, after eatting a ton of ice
cream in two minutes flat." was his reply "Hey sugar-blue, how's
Tails?" Bunnie asked walking in. "He's pulling through." Sonic
answered. "Wh... What happened?" came Tails' voice " "We're not too
sure yet." Sonic said looking up at Rotor who was looking at a
print-out of the bio-scanner. "I don't understand it." Rotor said in
confusion. "Whats wrong?" Sally asked. "I don't know. It could just
be the scanner, but..." "But what?" Bunnie asked. "well... " Rotor
continued while looking at a monitor. "It checks out everything in
100%. But when I check Tails' neural status the only thing it found
was encephalitis." "encefawhatsis?" Sonic asked. "Encephalitis. In
other words: an increasing pressure inside the skull due to swelling
produced by a brain infection. Or what you would call " A Common
Headache"." "Wait... What you mean to say is that what Tails just
went through was nothing more than a little over-thinking?" asked
the confused hedgehog. "No, that's what the computer says. *I* think
that it's something more serious..."What makes you say that?" Asked
Sally. "Well, for one thing the computer can't find out what caused
the over exsertion of pus to his brain. Another thing I noticed was
this..." Rotor aproached Tails carefully pulling his head forward.
"Look..." He pointed a mound on the back of his head. "So, he bumped
his head on something." Sonic Said tapping his foot. "No, look at
his skelatal readings." Sonic and Sally gaped at what they saw. The
paper was a B/W x-ray of Tails' skull. The bump was actually caused
by a part of the back of his skull eithe growing or being pushed
out." " Tails calapsed back on the table allowing the morphine to
take over. "I would like to have him stay here overnight so the
computer can monitor and alert me of any changes in his condition."
Sally nodded. After the crowd had dimmed, Sally, Sonic, and unnie
quietly crept out, so's not to disturb Tails, and walked back to
their huts.
MORNING
Sonic woke up. He hadn't slept much. But when he did he
began to hear screams. They were screams of terror, the screams
would fill his mind pushing out other thoughts. He would try not to
listen but the cries of mercy kept ringing in ears driving him
insane.
Seeing that he was drenched in sweat, Sonic grabbed a
towel, a pair of sox and stumbled into the shower. But he blacked
out before he was able to turn on the water.
Tails woke up. He look around almost forgetting why he
was there. Feeling as if he hadn't eaten in days, he jumped off the
table and trotted to the mess hall after pulling off various wires. There he saw Bunnie and Sally deep in conversation about the raid
planned that evening. "...we can get Uncle Chuck to retrieve
th..""...but then Robtnik could become suspiscious tha...""...don't
worry, we'll shutdown the bot server...""...but you know that he has
all hi..."Bunnie was cut off when she heard a scream followed by a
sharp silence. "That came from Sonic's hut!" Sally gasped.
Sonic's Hut
Sally raced through his front door. She looked around but did
not see anyone. She then herd someone wheezing from the bathroom.
Sally walked in and noticed Sonic sprawled out on the floor. Sally
got down on her knees "What happened?!?" Sally asked barely able to
keep from trembling. But the only thing he could say was "the
pain...the..pain" Sally held his hand. With her other hand she
reached to her boot and pulled out her compyuter. "NICOLE, Do full
neural scan" "PROCESSING" Nicole replied. "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM
CRITICAL CONDITION DOWN TO 20% AND DECREASING." Sonic stirred trying
to look into Sally's eyes "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM 15%" A tear formed
and fell down his cheek. "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM 10%" Sally gripped
his hand as if to convince her self that if she held to him he
wouldn't leave. "s...s...Sal" Sally locked eyes with Sonic
"I...I..love...yo..." NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM FAILURE, SONIC HEDGEHOG
STATUS: COMA"
PART 2
Uncle Chuck took his nephew in hands and carried him to
Rotor's hut. He walked in when no one aswered knocking. "Someone
find Rotor" "I'll go" Antoine said as he left the shop. Seconds
later they herd Antoin Shreak "Sacre Bleu!"
No matter how useless, Antoine kept shaking Rotor's lifeless
body. Finally he stood up and went to report.
That afternoon
"Nicole, do a complete high level neural scan for cause of
limbic system failure on subject: Sonic M. Hedgehog" "PROCESSING,
E.T.C (Estimated Time of Completion) 1 HOUR 13 MINUTES" Tails walked
in, his face streaked with tears. "How's Sonic?" He muttered as he
stood beside Sally. She didn't answer. He saw a tear formed in her
eye, but she quickly brushed it away.
The Bridge
Bunnie stood watch. But her mind was on other things. A rumor
had spread talking about a virus that was loose. Sonic and Rotor had
been claimed by this virus. But then she remembered the night
before. Tails had somthing like what was happening, just more
dramatic, and woke up feeling fine the next morning.
Bunnie was so deep in thought she didn't notice two figures
walk up to her. "Ah-hem" Bunnie turned her head calmly. But gasped
when she didn't recognize the two figures. There in front of her
stood a tall, male squirrel in a white cloak holding a staff about
as tall as he was, most of his face was covered by the hood of his
cloak, he looked to be about 60 years old. Beside him about a foot
shorter stood a pink female Echidna no more than 11 years old.
"Identify yourself." Bunnie said, a bit more rash than she ment.
"Gladly..." Said the cloaked squirrel. "I am the White Wizard Draco
of the House of Drawl." "And I'm Lily" said the pink Echidna
blushing a bit. "I seek the one named Miles Prower" said Draco.
Rotor's shop
"ANALYSIS COMPLETE" Sally woke up with a start. "UNKNOWN VIRUS
FOUND" "Nicole, can you give any information about this Virus?"
"PROCESSING..." Sally her eyes. aaaaaaaaashe then felt a slight pain
in her head. She opened a drawer pulled a bottle and read it:

*****************
"Nicole, bring up wizard legends concerning morphication

turned around to see Draco, Lily, and Bunnie standing inside the
door. "May I help you?" asked Sally. "No, the question is may *I*
help *you*?" Sally just stared in confusion. "I am the White Wizard
Draco of the House of Drawl. And this is my accomplice Lily" he said
pointing to the pink Echidna. Sally stood up "Princess Sally Alecia
of the House of Acorn" With that the wizard quickly bowed and stood
up. "Now may I ask why you are here?" Sally asked. "First, I wish to
ask you why you are interested in neu3235?" Before she was able to
reply, "Let me guess. A two tailed fox by the name of Miles Prower
was once found on the outskirts Robotropolis recently after coup.
Since then he grew up with the Freedom Fighters as a Brother, Son,
or sibling. Now 12 years later he was found screaming and
complaining that his head hurt, and later on people started slipping
into comas?" Sally was shocked. "Ye...Yes... your right."The Wizard
chuckled a bit. "What Miles Prower ( or Tails as I've recently
heard) has just witnessed unto you the morphication of a sixth
sense. You see, when th..." he was cut off when Sally threw herself
to the floor and started screaming. Bunnie got up to help her
friend. But Draco pulled her back. "Has she come in physical contact
with any vicims of virus?" "Umm...Yeah" Bunnie said hazently. "Go
get everyone else who has come in contact with any of them. Bunnie
left. She returned with Antoine, And Tails. She didn't get Chuck
because he was in Robotropolis in his hideout. Sally seemed to have
stop screaming. But was still in great pain. "Stand beside Sally."
Draco commanded them. "Except you. He said pulling Tails back beside
Lily. Tails looked at Lily. She was a bit shorter then him. She wore
a gold pendant around her neck, she had a black utility like belt
around her waist. Her eyes were a crystaly blue. Her dreadlocks were
a darker pink then the rest of her, a greenribbon was tied to one.
Her longest dreadlock was about 2 feet long. She smiled at him when
she relized he was stareing at her. He blushed as he looked away. He
looked up at Draco. He began to chant in a long forgotten language,
as he did,Tails noticed the pupils of Draco's eyes were replaced by
a glowing yellow, his staff began to glow, every second it got
brighter and brighter. Then the staff began to flash like strobe
light. At first the flashes were at an even, steady pace. But then
it started to speed up. It kept speeding up to a point where it just
kept a contiual flash that hurt the eyes. Then everything dimmed.
PART 3
Sally sat up. She looked to her side and found Antoine, and Bunnie
laying next to her. "Wha...What happened?" She asked her self. She
looked to her other side and saw Tails sitting about 3 yard away on
a chair next to Lily deep in discussion. "Woa...you were an
orphane to?" Tails asked. "Yep. Before I was even 1 year old. I was
found in the woods by a technician. His name Joeple. I lived with
him for eight years. He was a dad to me. He would take me camping,
fishing, hunting, hikeing..it was great. But I didn't really know
that till I lost him. The town was takenover by Swat-bots. I was out
camping with a friend when we returned..." She stopped to brush away
a tear. "The whole village was burned to the ground. But while we
stood there in shock we didn't realize that a swat-bot had come from
behind. The next thing I saw my friend was carried..." She stopped
and put her face in her hands and started weeping. Tails hugged her.
Lily let her head rest on his shoulder as she embraced him. Tails
stroked her deadlocks. 10 minutes later Tails pulled back and looked
into her eyes. "Tell you what, for now on I'll be your friend."
"Thank you" she replied brushing away some stray tears. She embraced
Tails again and gave him quick kiss on the cheek. Tails blushed a
bit. He looked to his side when he heard some movement. "Hey Sal."
Tails said when he saw her get up. "Hey Tails," Sally said while
giving him a 'What have you been upto look. He just blushed more
"when's dinner" Sally asked "Dinner!?!" Sally was confused by his
reaction. "how long have I been out?" She asked "Let's just say It's
almost lunch again." Lily said to Sally. " Damn, I knew I should of
read the caution label" she muttered to herself. "Oh... by the way,
can one of you explain to me what happend." "Sure..." Lily answered.
"Draco called upon magic to disinfect you and your friends." "You
mean Sonic, and Rotor ar..." "They'll be just fine." As if on cue,
Sonic began to stir. When Sally noticed, she raced to his side, then
she jumped on to him. "OOOOF!..." Sonic cried out. "Sal wha..."
Sonic was cut off when Sally landed him kiss after kiss. Lily &
Tails tried to keep from giggling when they saw Sally express her
excitement. "That's how we welcome people here" Tails said trying
not to blush. "OOH is it?" Lily asked with a suspisciouse grin on
her face. She looked into his eyes. They had a warm, welcoming look.
With that she closed her eyes and kissed him. At first Tails was
startled but he gently returned the favor.
PART 4
Mess hall, next morning 1100 hours
Sally, Sonic, and the rest of the freedom fighters sat down at
a table. The subject of the meeting was about the new visiters. Lily
sat between Tails and the Wizard Draco. "Now that we all have had
the time to recuperate, we would like to ask you and your freind
some questions." Sally said groggily, being half asleep. "We would
be glad to answer any questions to a certain extent." "Vat do you
mean to a zertan extent?" asked Antoine. "Never you mind my freind"
Draco replied. "First we would like to know a little bit more about
you than just your name." "Of course... I'm usually known as the
Wondering Wizard. I'm on a continues search for unknown diseases,
natural or unnatural phenominons, war between countrys or beliefs, I
also in search of new pupils. Which is the reason I'm here. About
12 years ago I had some friendly aquantances Mobotropolis, before
the reign of Robotnik. One of which was a young 2 telled fox." Tails
gasped "w...what?" Draco ignored the fox and continued on. " He was
the son of Elizabeth, and Kilos Prower. Even when he wasn't even a
year old I could see that this child would one day become a being of
endless power. Noticing this I took the child and ordained him
'Miles Prower Wizard to be'. In doing this a 'virus' like organism
was created but laid dormant till he comes of age. Which would be 3
days ago. When the virus becomes active it stimulates the brain in a
certain way that... well what you could say "He grew a sixth sense."
This sixth sense isn't just used as an input to the brain, but also
an output *from* the brain. Sort of like speech." Tails just stood
in awe not noing how to react. Sally spoke "Exactly what does this
sixth sense do?" "The meaning of it is to aid it's benifactor's
capabilities to call upon magic, whether it be good, or evil it's
his choice.

Sonic's Hut
Sally raced through his front door. She looked around but did
not see anyone. She then herd someone wheezing from the bathroom.
Sally walked in and noticed Sonic sprawled out on the floor. Sally
got down on her knees "What happened?!?" Sally asked barely able to
keep from trembling. But the only thing he could say was "the
pain...the..pain" Sally held his hand. With her other hand she
reached to her boot and pulled out her compyuter. "NICOLE, Do full
neural scan" "PROCESSING" Nicole replied. "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM
CRITICAL CONDITION DOWN TO 20% AND DECREASING." Sonic stirred trying
to look into Sally's eyes "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM 15%" A tear formed
and fell down his cheek. "NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM 10%" Sally gripped
his hand as if to convince her self that if she held to him he
wouldn't leave. "s...s...Sal" Sally locked eyes with Sonic
"I...I..love...yo..." NEURAL LIMBIC SYSTEM FAILURE, SONIC HEDGEHOG
STATUS: COMA"
PART 2
Uncle Chuck took his nephew in hands and carried him to
Rotor's hut. He walked in when no one aswered knocking. "Someone
find Rotor" "I'll go" Antoine said as he left the shop. Seconds
later they herd Antoin Shreak "Sacre Bleu!"
No matter how useless, Antoine kept shaking Rotor's lifeless
body. Finally he stood up and went to report.
That afternoon
"Nicole, do a complete high level neural scan for cause of
limbic system failure on subject: Sonic M. Hedgehog" "PROCESSING,
E.T.C (Estimated Time of Completion) 1 HOUR 13 MINUTES" Tails walked
in, his face streaked with tears. "How's Sonic?" He muttered as he
stood beside Sally. She didn't answer. He saw a tear formed in her
eye, but she quickly brushed it away.
The Bridge
Bunnie stood watch. But her mind was on other things. A rumor
had spread talking about a virus that was loose. Sonic and Rotor had
been claimed by this virus. But then she remembered the night
before. Tails had somthing like what was happening, just more
dramatic, and woke up feeling fine the next morning.
Bunnie was so deep in thought she didn't notice two figures
walk up to her. "Ah-hem" Bunnie turned her head calmly. But gasped
when she didn't recognize the two figures. There in front of her
stood a tall, male squirrel in a white cloak holding a staff about
as tall as he was, most of his face was covered by the hood of his
cloak, he looked to be about 60 years old. Beside him about a foot
shorter stood a pink female Echidna no more than 11 years old.
"Identify yourself." Bunnie said, a bit more rash than she ment.
"Gladly..." Said the cloaked squirrel. "I am the White Wizard Draco
of the House of Drawl." "And I'm Lily" said the pink Echidna
blushing a bit. "I seek the one named Miles Prower" said Draco.
Rotor's shop
"ANALYSIS COMPLETE" Sally woke up with a start. "UNKNOWN VIRUS
FOUND" "Nicole, can you give any information about this Virus?"
"PROCESSING..." Sally her eyes. aaaaaaaaashe then felt a slight pain

*****************
"Nicole, bring up wizard legends concerning morphication
neu3235.""PROCESSING""Do not bother." said a voice behind her. She
turned around to see Draco, Lily, and Bunnie standing inside the
door. "May I help you?" asked Sally. "No, the question is may *I*
help *you*?" Sally just stared in confusion. "I am the White Wizard
Draco of the House of Drawl. And this is my accomplice Lily" he said
pointing to the pink Echidna. Sally stood up "Princess Sally Alecia
of the House of Acorn" With that the wizard quickly bowed and stood
up. "Now may I ask why you are here?" Sally asked. "First, I wish to
ask you why you are interested in neu3235?" Before she was able to
reply, "Let me guess. A two tailed fox by the name of Miles Prower
was once found on the outskirts Robotropolis recently after coup.
Since then he grew up with the Freedom Fighters as a Brother, Son,
or sibling. Now 12 years later he was found screaming and
complaining that his head hurt, and later on people started slipping
into comas?" Sally was shocked. "Ye...Yes... your right."The Wizard
chuckled a bit. "What Miles Prower ( or Tails as I've recently
heard) has just witnessed unto you the morphication of a sixth
sense. You see, when th..." he was cut off when Sally threw herself
to the floor and started screaming. Bunnie got up to help her
friend. But Draco pulled her back. "Has she come in physical contact
with any vicims of virus?" "Umm...Yeah" Bunnie said hazently. "Go
get everyone else who has come in contact with any of them. Bunnie
left. She returned with Antoine, And Tails. She didn't get Chuck
because he was in Robotropolis in his hideout. Sally seemed to have
stop screaming. But was still in great pain. "Stand beside Sally."
Draco commanded them. "Except you. He said pulling Tails back beside
Lily. Tails looked at Lily. She was a bit shorter then him. She wore
a gold pendant around her neck, she had a black utility like belt
around her waist. Her eyes were a crystaly blue. Her dreadlocks were
a darker pink then the rest of her, a greenribbon was tied to one.
Her longest dreadlock was about 2 feet long. She smiled at him when
she relized he was stareing at her. He blushed as he looked away. He
looked up at Draco. He began to chant in a long forgotten language,
as he did,Tails noticed the pupils of Draco's eyes were replaced by
a glowing yellow, his staff began to glow, every second it got
brighter and brighter. Then the staff began to flash like strobe
light. At first the flashes were at an even, steady pace. But then
it started to speed up. It kept speeding up to a point where it just
kept a contiual flash that hurt the eyes. Then everything dimmed.
PART 3
Sally sat up. She looked to her side and found Antoine, and Bunnie
laying next to her. "Wha...What happened?" She asked her self. She
looked to her other side and saw Tails sitting about 3 yard away on
a chair next to Lily deep in discussion. "Woa...you were an
orphane to?" Tails asked. "Yep. Before I was even 1 year old. I was
found in the woods by a technician. His name Joeple. I lived with
him for eight years. He was a dad to me. He would take me camping,
fishing, hunting, hikeing..it was great. But I didn't really know
that till I lost him. The town was takenover by Swat-bots. I was out
camping with a friend when we returned..." She stopped to brush away
a tear. "The whole village was burned to the ground. But while we
stood there in shock we didn't realize that a swat-bot had come from
behind. The next thing I saw my friend was carried..." She stopped
and put her face in her hands and started weeping. Tails hugged her.
Lily let her head rest on his shoulder as she embraced him. Tails
stroked her deadlocks. 10 minutes later Tails pulled back and looked
into her eyes. "Tell you what, for now on I'll be your friend."
"Thank you" she replied brushing away some stray tears. She embraced
Tails again and gave him quick kiss on the cheek. Tails blushed a
bit. He looked to his side when he heard some movement. "Hey Sal."
Tails said when he saw her get up. "Hey Tails," Sally said while
giving him a 'What have you been upto look. He just blushed more
"when's dinner" Sally asked "Dinner!?!" Sally was confused by his
reaction. "how long have I been out?" She asked "Let's just say It's
almost lunch again." Lily said to Sally. " Damn, I knew I should of
read the caution label" she muttered to herself. "Oh... by the way,
can one of you explain to me what happend." "Sure..." Lily answered.
"Draco called upon magic to disinfect you and your friends." "You
mean Sonic, and Rotor ar..." "They'll be just fine." As if on cue,
Sonic began to stir. When Sally noticed, she raced to his side, then
she jumped on to him. "OOOOF!..." Sonic cried out. "Sal wha..."
Sonic was cut off when Sally landed him kiss after kiss. Lily &
Tails tried to keep from giggling when they saw Sally express her
excitement. "That's how we welcome people here" Tails said trying
not to blush. "OOH is it?" Lily asked with a suspisciouse grin on
her face. She looked into his eyes. They had a warm, welcoming look.
With that she closed her eyes and kissed him. At first Tails was
startled but he gently returned the favor.
PART 4
Mess hall, next morning 1100 hours
Sally, Sonic, and the rest of the freedom fighters sat down at
a table. The subject of the meeting was about the new visiters. Lily
sat between Tails and the Wizard Draco. "Now that we all have had
the time to recuperate, we would like to ask you and your freind
some questions." Sally said groggily, being half asleep. "We would
be glad to answer any questions to a certain extent." "Vat do you
mean to a zertan extent?" asked Antoine. "Never you mind my freind"
Draco replied. "First we would like to know a little bit more about
you than just your name." "Of course... I'm usually known as the
Wondering Wizard. I'm on a continues search for unknown diseases,
natural or unnatural phenominons, war between countrys or beliefs, I
also in search of new pupils. Which is the reason I'm here. About
12 years ago I had some friendly aquantances Mobotropolis, before
the reign of Robotnik. One of which was a young 2 telled fox." Tails
gasped "w...what?" Draco ignored the fox and continued on. " He was
the son of Elizabeth, and Kilos Prower. Even when he wasn't even a
year old I could see that this child would one day become a being of
endless power. Noticing this I took the child and ordained him
'Miles Prower Wizard to be'. In doing this a 'virus' like organism
was created but laid dormant till he comes of age. Which would be 3
days ago. When the virus becomes active it stimulates the brain in a
certain way that... well what you could say "He grew a sixth sense."
This sixth sense isn't just used as an input to the brain, but also
an output *from* the brain. Sort of like speech." Tails just stood
in awe not noing how to react. Sally spoke "Exactly what does this
sixth sense do?" "The meaning of it is to aid it's benifactor's
capabilities to call upon magic, whether it be good, or evil it's
his choice.
