Here is the next part. It should be interisting and usually leaves the people who read it in suspense. My favorite part actually.


Sonic and Shadow find Tails and Cream in an open part of the island. Tails is sitting on a log and Cream's jumping around punching and practicing. Sonic rushes up to Tails and taps is shoulder.

"Ah!" Tails jumps. "Oh, Sonic! What are you doing here?"

"We need to go save Amy!" Sonic tells him.

"Why? What happened?"

"I'm not sure, but she's in trouble."

Cream jumps at a rock and punches it in front of Tails, so Sonic and Shadow see, they stare in amazement.

"Whoa! What happened to her?!" Sonic asks in his shock.

"Knuckles was training her, and she can hit hard…" Tails replies.

"Okay, well where's Knuckles?"

"He went to check on the Master Emerald and hasn't come back. I think something happened to it."

"That's his problem, let's go!"

"Cream!" Cream looks over there way. "We've got to go."

Cream skips over to them. "Why?"

"Amy is in trouble I guess."

"Oh! Am I coming?"

"Well, I don't know…"

"Oh, come on Tails! Please!"

Tails loses control of his thoughts then. Cream stares at him irresistibly! What would she think if he said no?

"Uh, sure, you can come!"

Cream jumps with joy. "'How pathetic…" Shadow rudely comments.

"Shadow, that wasn't nice!"

"So?"

Cream clenches her fists and Shadow backs off.


Tails, Sonic, Shadow and Cream all rush to Tails house. They pack into the Tornado 2, Sonic and Shadow hang on the wing while Cream sits in back. They set off towards Eggman's "secret" base. It's not really secret, it's impossible to miss. Eggman's base is in the middle of a forest, but apparently Eggman doesn't care if people find him.

Tails flies towards the base, the guns begin to notice him. He could transform into combat mood, but Sonic or Shadow would fall off and there's no place Cream would go since there's no backseat in that mode. So he'll have to stay in this bi-plane state, despite how much he likes the combat mode. Plus, he has to move slowly so Sonic or Shadow don't fall off. The guns fire and Tails takes an easy turn to avoid them.

"Uh, Sonic, Shadow, can you guys just jump off?" Tails asks. "I'll meet you down there."

"Alright, come on Shadow!" Sonic says.

Shadow just nods. Tails swoops a little closer to the ground and the two hedgehogs jump off the plane. Tails smiles, now he can get close enough to the base to use the Cyclone as a land vehicle.

"You okay Cream?" Tails asks her.

"Yeah, of course!" She tells him.

Tails focus on his flying again. He fires a few bullets at a gun, it fires back. Tails turns the plane on its side to decrease the chance of being hit. Cream holds on in the back. Tails moves up and dives back down. He fires a missile at the gun and destroys it. He pushes a button and the plane turn into the Cyclone walker and lands on top of where the gun used to be. Cream has to get out since there's only one seat.

"Are you okay Cream?" Tails wonders.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Sonic and Shadow catch up to them, they weren't too far away. "Alright, Tails you go into the base and get the Chaos Emerald from Eggman. The rest of us will go find Amy." Sonic orders.

"Got it!" Tails confirms. He walks off in the Cyclone.


Eggman's base is circular, with laser cannons surrounding the perimeter. Beyond those, there's a bunch of random Eggman creations, like runways and robot factories. In the center is a tower that is shaped like Eggman's head, of course. Eggman works in there. So that would be where the Chaos Emerald is. Tails heads towards the impossible to miss tower. The others all ran off to check around the base using Shadow's ability to sense presences. The problem is the Cyclone isn't the fastest method of transportation. A few robots try to block Tails path but they don't stand a chance before Tails blasts them to pieces. When Tails reaches the door to the tower he gets out of the Cyclone so he can open the door without attracting attention. He walks to the door and tries to open it using the mini-computer on the side. In the middle of his hacking, he hears a big smash behind him. He turns around and sees in terror…his Cyclone in pieces! Smashed down and destroyed! Behind the rubble is Eggman in a robot about one and a half times taller than the door Tails was trying to open, which was big!

"So Tails, trying to break in I see?" Eggman says in a mischievous voice.

Tails doesn't respond he just stares at the wreckage of the first plane he had ever made. He slowly walks up to it and kneels near it. He can see the piece of metal that had his symbol on it. He picks it up and he almost cries, but then he remembers who did this.

"Aw, did I hurt your toy?" Eggman taunts.

Tails clenches his fists and glares at Eggman, whose looking down on him from his robot. Tails gets up and faces him. "You did this! To my only creation! I'm going to make sure you don't get paid back!"

Eggman raises an eyebrow but shrugs. "Oh really? How exactly are you going to beat me?"

Tails stops and thinks, how is going to beat him? He has beaten him before, but this time he was facing a robot 5 times taller than him and he had nothing to fight with. Eggman makes the robot stick out an arm and pick Tails up. Tails struggle but it's no use, he wasn't trained like Cream.

"You're coming with me." Eggman says. Tails gives up trying to escape and just hopes he can be saved this time.


Sonic, Cream and Shadow find Amy cornered near a pile of beat up metal holding her Piko Piko Hammer trying to fight off robots who want to capture her.

"Amy!" Sonic calls out to her. She looks over their way and smiles.

"What took you so long?!" She yells back.

Sonic and the others jump in and smash robots away from Amy, trying to not pay attention to Cream who can fight now. Amy stares at her the whole time. When all of them are piles of debris they ask Amy to explain herself.

"First, I want to know how Cream all of sudden can whoop Eggman's robots." Amy asks.

"I'm not really sure myself." Sonic says. Cream blushes. "But what are you doing here Amy?!"

"I saw one of Eggman's robots in Station Square the other day, so I followed it and it took me here. I snuck in with it and listened in on Eggman's conversation with it."

"And then?" Shadow remarks.

"Then-" Amy is cut off by the sound of big footsteps. Everyone, but Amy, turns around and sees Eggman in a huge robot. It's a humanoid robot, and is about 15 feet tall. In on of its hands is…Tails!

"Hello my unwelcoming friends!" Eggman says with a smile.

"Eggman, Tails!" Sonic yells. "What are you doing with him?"

"Leave him alone!" Cream yells too.

"Oh, don't worry; I'm just going to blast him to oblivion." Eggman says calmly.

"What?!" Tails begins to try and escape again, but it still does nothing. The others gasp except Shadow.

"I'll save you Tails!" Sonic tries to tell Tails. He begins to move towards Eggman. Eggman presses a button on his robots controls and its other arm turns into a gun and he points it at Tails. Sonic stops in his tracks while Tails shivers a little.

"Now then, I will spare him." Eggman begins to reason, "If you give me all the Chaos Emeralds you have."

"No Sonic!" Tails tries to convince Sonic otherwise. "If Eggman gets all the Emeralds who know what he'll do!"

Sonic considers it for a minute. If he gave Eggman the four Chaos Emeralds he had Eggman could really do a lot with them, but if he didn't then… his best friend would be gone! Sonic sighs and gives in to Eggman. "Here." He throws the Emeralds over to Eggman and Shadow throws his one. "Take them."

"Sonic!" Tails says in disbelief.

"Sorry Tails, but you're more important than those."

Tails smiles slightly, he should've expected that out of Sonic. "Thank you." Eggman says. The Emeralds are sucked into a tube that comes out of the robots arm. "Now for the fox."

"Let him go!" Cream says with more force this time.

"Nah, I think I'll just blast him anyway."

Everyone gasps slightly or make a shocked gesture, even Shadow. "You can't do that!" Cream yells.

"We gave you the Emeralds!" Sonic remarks.

"Yes, but since when can I be trusted?" Eggman snaps his fingers and the closest laser cannons on the out side of the base aim towards them. Eggman's robot drops Tails on the ground next to him. "Ready, aim…fire!"

All the cannons open fire at the same time at Tails and Tails doesn't have time to react. Everyone watches in horror. "Tails!!!!" The lasers make a lot of smoke, but went it clears all they see is a beaten, dirty, and non-moving Tails…


Oh, poor Tails...
