Tails appeared over a great ocean of oil. When gravity returned he promptly fell into the oil. Swimming to shore he then cleaned the oil off himself. Tails looked around; there was no one there but himself. Tails sighed and then flew up. He surveyed the scene carefully, how was he supposed to find the emerald? Then he spotted a gleam in the distance, could that be the Chaos Emerald? Tails flew towards it.

As Tails flew closer the gleam began to change. "What is that?" he asked himself, "is that thing coming at me?" Then all of a sudden the gleam enlarged into a ship, flying straight for him. Tails barely dodged the ship. He turned around to see the ship hovering there, facing him. It looked like a large spaceship of some kind. It had 3 rotating gun turrets, and all of the turrets pointed right at him. Bullets flew at Tails as he flew. Tails hit a button on his wristwatch. Then Tails landed and ducked behind a piece of machinery. For some reason then the bullets stopped.

Being curious Tails looked over the top of the machinery. Bullets ripped out and nearly hit his head. Quickly ducking Tails heard another sound, an airplane engine. Tails leapt out from behind the machine. He flew up towards the oncoming airplane, the

Cyclone. As the spacecraft turned to face the Cyclone Tails shot by it and landed in the pilots seat. He turned off the autopilot and turned to face the craft. The machine's guns continued to fire. Tails put the Cyclone into high speed and flew around the bullets. Then he unleashed his own Vulcan Cannon. This high-speed machine gun fired thousands of shots per second. He hit the ship dead on. Explosions followed and the ship's engines went out.

Tails watched as the ship descended and crashed into the oily ocean. The ship began to sink when its hatch jettisoned. The pilot was a large robot, in the shape of Eggman. The robot leapt onto a platform as the ship sunk. It pulled out a giant gun and fired at Tails. The beam nearly struck the Cyclone as Tails came around for another run. The Vulcan cannon let loose on the robot, but to no effect. As the Cyclone flew overhead the robot shoot again, and this time it hit!

The Cyclone's wing was destroyed, and the plane was on a collision course with the oil. Tails pulled at the control stick with all his might, and slowly the nose of the cyclone turned. At the last second it turned enough to make a crash landing go on the platform. When the Cyclone ground to a halt Tails breathed sigh of relief. "That was close," he said after it was all over. But he spoke to soon. The ground shook as the robot came closer. With a look of determination on his face Tails shouted the the robot, "You can't beat this bird that easily, Tornado Transformation!" Tails cried as he it one of the buttons.

The rear of the plane split in two and rotated under the body. Both the wing and the remains of the other wing collapsed into the body. The Cyclone walker stood up on its two new feet and turned to face the Eggman robot. "I'll show you how powerful my cyclone is!" Tails shouted as the Cyclone ran towards the robot. The robot fired at the Cyclone, but Tails was to good at maneuvering it. He dodged a beam as a gray box came out of the side of the Cyclone. "I'll show you," Tails shouted as he pressed a button, "Fire Rocket launcher!" A stream of small but powerful rockets erupted from the box. The robot managed to destroy most of the missiles with its gun, but there was to many for it to destroy. Missiles hit as explosions clouded the area.

The smoke cleared and Tails stopped the Cyclone dead. The robot had survived, damaged but survived. It lifted its gun again. Once again the Cyclone dodged. "You think your so tough, well take this! Power Beam fire!" Tails said to the robot as a panel on the front of the Cyclone opened. Out of it shoot the giant, rainbow colored power laser. It scored a direct hit. The robot exploded as a cracking sound was heard. Tails stopped the beam, but the cracking sound remained. Tails looked over the side.

Cracks were forming under the cyclone. Tails put the cyclone into motion, but as the first leg lifted the platform broke, sending the cyclone into the oil. Tails tried his controls despertly, but the oil had the cyclone. It started to sink. Tails tried with all his might to get the main jet engine to turn on, but the oil had clogged it up. As the oil rose on the side Tails tried everything to get the cyclone out, but to no avail. Just as the oil was about to enter the main cockpit Tails jumped out and flew up. The oil spilled into the cockpit as the Cyclone sank under the surface. Tails nearly cried as his ultimate achievement vanished.

Tails landed on the platform, looking at the spot where his plane had sunk. When he glanced up he saw the shine in the background. Tails flew up and went to investigate. As he did so, the planetary storm approached him from behind.
