Now, Tails was at home, minding his own business, when he received an email from...EGGMAN! Because Sonic and Tails had been fighting, Eggman sent him the E-Mail, and Tails flashed back...

"Well, you wouldn't have had to put up with me if you had let me to escape on my own!" Tails exploded with fury. "Yeah? Well I'm sick of you following me everywhere! You're an eight year old and I'm 15! I'm not a baby sitter you know!" Sonic realised he said too much, as Tails left the room bawling. "How can you say that Sonic?" yelled Amy "Sometimes you are so selfish, that I don't want to date you anymore!" Tails came back to reality and was filled with fury, even though he was only eight!

Tails opened the email and read aloud "Dear Tails, I have come up with a most perfect plot, and created 'Emeralds of Darkness'! Join me and you and I will destroy that hedgehog, once and for all! Meet me at the Egg Fortress at the sunset! From your pal, Eggman" Perfect, Tails thought; my chance to get back at Sonic! I'll show him what an eight year old can do!" As Tails went to exit his email, he didn't click hard enough. His drinky drinky bird tapped hard on the mouse...on forward all address members! And even worse, the only addresses were Sonic and Amy...

Sonic was online at the time, with Knuckles behind him as they were trying to figure out what happened. Suddenly, the message was received. Sonic opened at Knuckles' blistery command, and they found it was not addressed to them, but to Tails. As they read the email, they looked at each other. "Tails was pretty bummed out, but I don't think enough to do this." Spoke Knuckles calmly. He replied "Ok, but we still better check it out, just in case." Little did they know that an old friend was about to be lost to evil...
