XD Thanks to everyone that reviewed! I really appreciated it! I do not own the Sonic characters! Five reviews and I'll post chapter three! THANKIES!
Chapter Two: Revived
Tails smirked as they gawked at Omega, Gamma and Emerl.
" What do you guys think? Cool huh?" Tails asked, a wide grin on his face.
" Yeah, but how did you know how to make them?" Sonic asked, scratching his head.
Kage was also scratching his head, " what are they talking about?"
Gen and Kage shrugged.
" Let's just watch," Page said.
The two nodded and watched.
" Remember when I went to examine Eggman's ship in the ocean?" Tails asked.
Sonic involuntarily shuddered, the ocean was made of water and he hated water. The others, except for the kids, nodded.
" In a safe, I found all his notes on how he made them. With the blueprints I rebuilt and modified them"
A question clicked in Rouge's mind, " what about their memories?"
Tails' ears folded down onto his head, " memories can't be rebuilt, but they all know who we are and the current situation the world is in."
" What did you mean by upgrades?" Shadow asked.
" Well that's were things get a little complicated. Gamma and Omega are the ones who really got upgrades; I just gave Emerl a voice. Now he doesn't bleep, he talks. Gamma and Omega were a lot harder to modify without changing our memories of them. I gave Gamma some better weapons and built him out of a lighter metal then Eggman had used. One thing both Omega and Gamma have in common is their hands. If you remember, they both had guns as one arm, but now they have to hands that can switch into guns. Omega was pretty easy to modify; I only had to upgrade his weapon systems and location log, plus make him out of the same material as Gamma. That's it really."
" Wait, why didn't you modify Emerl?" Cream asked.
" I though it would be cool if instead of fighting, Emerl be a sitter bot."
The word 'sitter' got the kid's attention.
" Meaning?" Knuckles asked.
Tails smirked and pointed at the kids, " he is programmed to make sure they stay out of trouble."
" What about Omega and Gamma? What are they programmed for?" Shadow asked.
Tails smirk grew into a grin, " to help take down Tye. His power trip ends now. Eggman had designs for another robot in the safe I found. In that robot, was a Chaos Emerald detector. Instead of making that robot, I just adjusted Omega's circuitry."
Everyone smiled, Amy had tears in her eyes, " you mean?"
Tails nodded, " we'll be able to see the sky again; and not worry about how long we stay above ground."
At that statement the kids started jumping up and down.
" You mean we will get to see the sky!" Gen yelled happily.
Rouge looked at her daughter and nodded, " yeah, and you'll get to fly in the open sky with your father and me too."
Kage smiled and looked at his mom and dad, " can I run with you guys?"
Sonic smiled, " sure, as long as we don't go near water."
Page hugged onto his mother's leg, " we won't have to live down here anymore for real?"
Both his parents nodded a content look on their faces. Tails suddenly got a serious look on his face and looked at the kids.
" Heya, the adults need to talk right now, why don't you go play?" he asked.
The three nodded and ran up the stairs, taking a right and disappearing out of sight.
Gen ran down the hallway, and took a sharp left; she could see the huge metal doors leading into their favorite room.
" What was so important that the kids couldn't hear?" Shadow questioned.
" That they couldn't come with us. It's going to be way too dangerous. I took the liberty of locating the emeralds before I called you all in here," Tails motioned to the screen behind him.
They stared at it and did nothing. Tails sighed and zoomed in and a small island, surrounded by volcanoes could be seen.
" See the danger now?"
Everyone nodded as Tails walked over to Cream.
" Cream, I need you to stay here with the kids so they don't get into any trouble. Emerl will be here with you to help."
Cream's mouth hung opened, " what? No way! I wanna help! I'm just as strong as anyone else here!"
" I know you are, but you are the best person for this job. We can't just leave them alone with Emerl, Gen is too smart to be left alone with one of my inventions, she'll take him apart."
Cream sighed and looked into his pleading eyes, " fine. I'll do it. But you ALL had better come back! I don't wanna take care of three kids that can kick my ass for long."
Tails smiled and kissed her forehead, " we shouldn't be that long."
" Uncle Tails says we can go above ground real soon!" Gen yelled at an orange echidna.
She just smiled, " that's wonderful Gen. I too, miss the above world."
Kage and Page were playing with a water demon near a green glowing emerald.
" Tikal, what is it like on the ground?" Gen asked.
Knuckles had brought the Master Emerald under ground with them for fear that if Tye got a hold of it; he would truly be unstoppable.
Tikal smiled and pat Gen on her head, " it's beautiful little Genesis. With a blue sky you can fly through for hours. You can't really describe it with words."
Tikal looked in Chaos's direction. He played so well with the two little hedgehogs. She looked back at Knuckles and Rouge's daughter, and saw her by the Master Emerald. Gen was so much like them both, not only in looks but in battle and mannerisms too. Gen placed her hand on the Master Emerald.
" I bet you miss the above world too huh? Dad has told me about Angel Island. Just think, we won't have to hide anymore!"
The Master Emerald glowed a little brighter and Gen giggled. The door opened and Gen turned her head. Page and Kage also looked in the direction of the door and ran over to the people in the doorway.
" Mommy! Daddy!" Kage yelled jumping into his mother's arms.
Amy smiled and hugged her son tightly as Sonic just patted his head. Page just stood in front of his parents smiling, dripping wet. Huri picked him up and hugged him, a few tears slipping from her eyes. Shadow placed a hand on his wife's shoulder and Huri leaned her head on it. Gen flew into the air and saw her parents behind the others.
She slowly flew towards them and landed in her father's arms. Rouge had tears in her eyes as Knuckles hugged her with one arm, holding Gen in the other. She had her head on her husband's shoulder. Gen just watched her mother as she acted strangely.
" Why are you crying mommy?" Page asked wiping away this mother's tears with his thumb.
" Mommy and Daddy have to go away for a while. We are leaving you with Auntie Cream and Emerl, " Shadow informed.
" What about Uncle Sonic, Tails and Knuckles? And Auntie Amy and Rouge?" Page questioned.
" They have to come with us," Huri told her son, hugging him tighter.
Kage looked at his parents, " why can't you stay Mom, Dad? Why do you have to go?"
" We are going to make it to where you kids can play above ground for as long as you want," Sonic said, taking his son from Amy.
" Mommy, Daddy?" Gen asked.
" What is it Gen?" Rouge asked back.
Tears welled up in Gen's eyes as she hugged her parents, " come home soon please."
Knuckles smiled and hugged his daughter and wife back, " we'll be back as soon as we can."
" Promise," Gen demanded.
" I promise," Rouge said.
Knuckles nodded, " me too."
Page and Kage looked at their parents and smiled when they too nodded. Tails walked up behind Cream, who was watching the scene with the three families, unfold. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close.
" I need to talk to you, can we go somewhere private?" he whispered in her ear.
She nodded and grabbed his hand, walking him to her room. Cream flipped the switch and the lights came on. Everyone's room where pretty plain, except the kid's rooms. They had toys and stuff in there.
Cream sat on the bed and motioned for him to sit next to her, " what's wrong?"
Tails sat next to her and placed his hand on hers, " the mission…..it's very dangerous Cream."
" I know, you told me about it and I saw the island, what exactly are you getting at?"
" Cream, if I don't come back I…."
" Don't say such a thing Tails! You are coming back! Nothing is going to happen to you!"
His eyes softened as he took her hand in both of his, " if I don't come back with the others then I want you to find someone else that will love you as much as I do. Will you do that?"
Cream had tears in her eyes as she shook her head, " no I won't! You have to come back to me Tails! You have to! I lost my mom, I can't lose you too!"
She threw herself into his arms and began sobbing. He hugged her tightly as her body shook furiously.
" Please Cream, do that for me?"
A few minutes passed as her sobbing slowly decreased.
" Cream, please? I just don't want you to be alone. Please?"
She slowly pulled herself away from him and nodded, " fine, if you don't come back with the others, but I know you will, I'll find someone else."
Tails kissed her forehead and smiled, " promise?"
Cream nodded as she hugged him again, " Tails, you have to come back. You just have too!"
" I don't plan on leaving Cream, this is just incase. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to come back to you. Remember, we are supposed to get married after Tye is gone."
" Yea I remember everything about the night you proposed to me," Cream said smiling.
Tails had just turned sixteen years old today. Cream had turned fifteen about three months ago. He had planned a nice little quite, which was very hard to get with the three kids, dinner for the two of them. Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles were in his room talking to him.
" Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Shadow asked.
Tails nodded, " yeah, I've been wanting to do this for a long time."
" Aren't you a little to young to propose kid?" Knuckles questioned.
" I don't think so, I'm only a year younger than Sonic when he proposed to Amy. I think I'm making the right choice."
Sonic patted him on the back, " go for it lil buddy!"
" Thanks Sonic, you've made sure that we will have no interruptions right?"
Sonic gave a thumbs up and smiled, " course, and Amy is cooking for you two so it's guaranteed to be a good meal."
Tails smiled, " thanks guys, wish me luck."
" Good luck," the three adults said in unison.
Tails walked out the door and shut it.
The three just stood there for a few minutes, making sure he was out of hearing range.
" So did you set up the camera? The only way I could get Rouge to watch all three of them is if I promised her she could catch it on tape," Knux whispered.
Shadow grinned evilly, " yep, and since Huri volunteered to be the waitress for them she will press the record button for us."
" Good, now that our plan is set, lets go watch," Sonic said rubbing his hands together evilly.
Tails walked down the hall and opened the door to a small room. A table surrounded by candles and rose petals was all that was in the room at the moment. This room was the dining area on the underground house that he had built. He walked into the kitchen and saw Amy cooking her heart out for the two.
" I really appreciate this Amy. I promise I will watch the Kage for however long you want me too next week."
Huri walked in smiling with her little pushing cart.
" Same to you Huri, I'll never be able to completely re-pay you for this!"
Huri hugged him and patter his back, " I'm just so happy for you! Now, Cream will be here in five minutes, go stand by the door.""
Tails nodded and ran out the kitchen.
Amy began to stir the cake mix, " is it set up?"
Huri nodded, " yes, Rouge is able to see everything right now and is recording it for us!"
Rouge sat in her little room with the kids. They were all sitting on the bed watching intently. The group could all see and hear everything Tails was doing and saying. A bowl of popcorn sat between the kids.
" Mommy? Are you sure this is okay?" Gen asked.
" Yes, now you kids have to be good while I watch this and I'll give you lots of candy okay?" Rouge said.
The three nodded furiously and smiled, " we will."
Cream knocked on the door leading into where Tails had told her to meet her. He had told her to dress up so she had. Tails opened the door and just stared at her. She was wearing a strapless gold color dress that went just past her knees. Also, the gold locket he had given her for her fifteenth birthday.
She was cradling a small wrapped box in her arms. His mouth became dry as he just stared at her. He swallowed hard.
" Hi Tails, happy birthday," she said handing him the present.
He took it, still a stunned look on his face, " thanks, come in."
She walked and he followed. This was going to be a long dinner.
He pulled the chair out for her, " please sit."
Cream sat in the chair and Tails pushed her in, " thank you."
She looked around, and smiled, " you've done a wonderful job of decorating, it's very romantic Tails."
Tails took his seat and placed the present in front of him, " thanks, Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles helped me put it all together."
Cream had a slightly shocked look on her face, " and here I thought they didn't have a romantic bone in their bodies."
Tails chuckled lightly, " surprisingly they do."
Amy and Huri started giggling in the kitchen, they couldn't laugh, it would ruin the moment. Rouge, on the other hand who was watching it live was bursting with laughter. The kids didn't get it and only shrugged and continued to eat popcorn.
" Aren't you going to open my present Tails?" Cream asked.
Tails nodded, " sorry, I was just admiring your beauty."
Cream blushed as he began to open his present. While he was opening his present, she took in his attire. He was wearing a black and white tux, without the bow tie. She had to admit he looked stunning.
He lifted the lid off his box and smiled, " wow, a key?"
" The rest of your present is in my lab, come on," Cream said standing up.
" Uhhhhh….right just a second," Tails walked into the kitchen, " Amy, Huri can you have the food ready when we come back? Cream said my present is in her lab."
The two hedgehogs nodded and Tails walked out of the kitchen, taking Cream's arm.
" Okay, let's go see my present!"
Cream began to laugh as she pulled Tails out of the room, " I promise, you'll like it."
Rouge sighed, " man, I wanted to see his present."
Cream pulled him down the hall towards her lab.
" Uh, Cream? Since when did you have a lab?"
" Since I took your old one."
" You did? How come I never found out?"
" Cuz I made sure no one told you. I've been working on this present for years, just waiting until your sixteenth birthday."
They stood in front of his old workshop door for a second, and then Cream opened the door. Tails walked down the stairs slowly, with Cream following right behind him. They reached the bottom of the stairs and Cream turned on the light switch. Tails just stared at the machine in front of him, tears in his eyes.
" No way, that's impossible! It was destroyed!" Tails yelled, looking at her.
She smiled and handed him the key, " I rebuilt it. Didn't you ever wonder what happened to the blue prints?"
Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles came running in.
" We heard you scream and…..whoa," Shadow said staring at the machine.
" Isn't that the X-Tornado?" Knuckles asked in awe.
Sonic just whistled in amazement.
Tails hugged Cream tightly, " thank you Cream!"
He picked her up and swung her around, Cream just laughed.
" Come on, you wanna test it out?" Cream asked while they spun around.
" Yeah! Of course!" Tail yelled, running to the cockpit.
" The design isn't totally the same as before. I added more seats, and made the wings a bit longer. It's made of the same material as Amy's hammer, just more layers of it. There are some heat seeking missiles, and its battle mode has been upgraded. So what do you think?"
" I think it's even better than the old one!" Tails yelled, helping her into the seat behind him.
He put on his headset and Cream put on hers. Sonic and Shadow stepped on either side of the X-Tornado.
" CHAOS CONTROL!" they both yelled, and the plane disappeared in a flash of green light.
A few seconds later, Sonic reappeared. Knuckles smiled and helped them to him to his feet. Over the years, both had learned to do Chaos Control without the emeralds, but they couldn't teleport very far.
" Come on, lets go tell Amy and Huri that they don't have to rush dinner," Sonic said, standing by himself.
" Yeah, I'll go tell Rouge what the present was, she's probably dying to know. Shadow stayed behind to teleport them back?" Knux said.
Sonic nodded as they walked up the stairs. Shadow sat on the wing as they flew around. Tails was laughing and having the time of his life. Cream was just smiling while her boyfriend was playing with his toy. He performed loops, dives and other tricks that he knew how to do. Cream's stomach grumbled and she blushed.
" I'll land right now, so we can eat. Amy and Huri probably have everything set up by now," Tails landed the plane.
" CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow yelled, teleporting them into the hanger.
Tails had built this room for all the weapons, and planes he had built. Shadow jumped off the wing and began to walk away.
" Thanks Shadow!" Tails and Cream called to him.
" Welcome, see ya later."
Tails helped Cream get out of the X-Tornado, and they walked back, hand in hand to the dining area. She sat in her chair and he pushed her in, then sat down himself. Cream pulled a silver chain out of her pocket, and handed it to Tails.
" Here, you can put the key on it so you won't lose it."
Tails smiled and put the key on the chain, then put it on his neck, " thanks Cream. I love my present."
Knuckles knocked on Rouge's door, and Gen opened it, " daddy!"
She jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly as he walked in the door.
" Knuckles, what was the present?" Rouge asked immediately.
" Cream rebuilt the X-Tornado for him," Knuckles said smiling.
" No way! That is so cool!" Rouge yelled.
" Your welcome Tails. I had a lot of fun building it for you. I remember how sad you were that you lost it. I remember you tried to rebuild it, but then the kids were born. Then, Tye attacked and you just worked on nothing but the CED and those other "projects" you won't say anything about. I just knew you would like it."
Huri came out, pushing a cart of food. Cream gasped as she saw the meal. Two cups of Champaign and two stakes shaped like hearts. There was also mashed potatoes with gravy and wheat rolls to dip.
" Oh my, this is for us?" Cream asked surprised.
" Yeah, Amy cooked it for us."
" Thank you Amy! Thank you Huri."
Huri nodded and put their food in front of them, " for the pretty rabbit and the hansom fox."
The two blushed and Huri laughed, " just tell me when you two are done and I'll bring out your dessert."
" Thanks Huri. Tell Amy I said thanks too," Tails said.
Huri nodded and walked into the kitchen.
" Your welcome!" Amy yelled from the kitchen.
Tails picked up his glass and held it up to her, " cheers?"
Cream picked up her glass and hit his lightly, " cheers."
They ate their meal in peace. After about a half-hour, they were done with dinner. Huri came back in and put the plates on the cart, and put their desserts in front of them. Two Ice Cream Sundays with a cherry on top.
" Enjoy," Huri said leaving.
Cream took a bite of her Sunday, and smiled at Tails. Tails smiled back, fiddling around with something in his pocket. She stared at him, he looked so nervous.
" Tails, what's wrong?"
Tails looked at her and smiled, " nothing's wrong. I was just thinking about something."
" About what?"
Tails reached across the table and grabbed her hands; he squeezed them lightly, and looked into her questioning eyes.
Rouge, Shadow, Knuckles, Sonic, Gen, Page and Kage leaned in closer to the TV. Amy and Huri poked their heads out a little.
" Cream, I love you so much words can't really be used. I want to be with you forever Cream. I really do."
A few tears slid down Cream's cheeks, " I want to be with you forever too Tails."
" I guess, what I'm asking is," Tails got on one knee and pulled a velvet box out of his pocket, " will you marry me Cream?"
Tears streamed down Cream's as she covered her mouth and nodded, " yes! Yes I will!"
" I don't have a ring at this time, but I will get one soon," Tails stood up, only to have Cream run into his arms.
Tails kissed her on the lips, and she kissed back. Both putting so much passion into the kiss that Rouge, Sonic and Shadow had to cover their kid's eyes. Huri and Amy gave each other a high-five.
" I love you Tails, so very much," Cream said, slightly pulling away from him.
She rested her head on his chest, smiling as a few tears streamed down her cheeks.
" I love you too Cream," he whispered into her ear.
Tails kissed Cream on the lips lightly, " just think, soon Tye will be gone, and we can get married. If you want, we can have little babies running around again."
Cream nodded, " yeah, they'll have their father's intelligence."
" And they will be as beautiful as their mother."
Cream kissed Tails, and Tails kissed back with equal passion.
