Striking Sparks


Disclaimer thingy. Sonic, Tails etc. These all belong to Sonic Team. The only people that aren't from Sonic Team is Sparky.

Tails looks out of the upper window of the workshop, at the snow. It's been a cold winter so I don't think Tails will be flying his plane today. I walk over to him and look at of the window.

"It's quite a gale." He nods and continues to watch the snow. I hope it passes soon, if it does I'll be able to run around a bit more without getting freezing.

"Sonic! What's that?!" I turn back to the window and look out. I can't see anything. It must have been the snow.

"There's nothing Tails." He looks out of the window again. I walk over to the fridge and pour him a drink.

"Here, have this." Tails takes the drink and thanks me. I go over to the settee and sit down.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Who could that be, so late and on such a cold night? Tails looks at me and asks if he should open the door. I nod. If it's Eggman I'll attack it and.. BOOM! It'll be gone! Tails walks over to the door and opens it, but what's outside shocks us both.

"C-can I-I c-c-come in?" There is a two-tailed fox just like Tails standing in the doorway, the only difference is that this two-tailed fox has brown gloves and shoes. He has a red belt around his waist and his eyes are brown. Tails looks at the freezing figure in surprise.

"Yes, come in..." Tails seems curious about this fox. Is he another Eggman robot? He can't be. He's breathing. He walks over to the fire and sits down. Who is he?

"Who are you?" He looks up at me and realises that I'm in here as well. He has a cut on his left arm, it's got a bandage around it.

"I'm Sp-Sparky." He is still cold. But why is he here in the Mystic Ruins?

"Why are you here?" Again he looks up, his eyes are brown, and they have the look of eyes that have seen too much.

"Y-you let me in." He seems to be warming up now. But why did he come here? Why here?

"But why did you come to the Mystic Ruins?" He looks into the fire and stays quiet for a moment. Then he stands and looks at me. He's a little shorter than Tails, and his fur is all matted.

"I ran... from Eggman... I must find him!" He looks to Tails and then back to me. Tails looks worried and I must look worried as well, I certainly feel it. Tails looks at this Sparky chap and speaks.

"Can we help?" I look at him in surprise. It's cold out there! But we have to do something. We can't leave him.

"Yes... I know how to get to Robotnik's main base. Please, help me destroy the base!" How does he know this? How does he know about Eggman's base?

"We should wait until morning..." He cuts me off.

"NO! It can't wait! Help me? Please?" I can see the tears in his eyes. I give in. We have to help.

"Tails, warm up the plane!" Tails nods and dashes downstairs. Now it's just me and this Sparky. I pass him a drink and go downstairs.

"Come on!" Tails' voice is coming from the secret runway. I show Sparky the way down and jump onto the plane.

"Come on. Jump up!" He jumps as I told him to and lands on the other wing. Tails activates the engine and opens the hanger door. It's cold! Oh-well. The plane takes off and flies out into the storm.
