Gah! Finally! I got sidetracked and so I'll update now. Enjoy and please, don't throw rocks!
PART ONE: TWILIGHT
Chapter 2. In the End
This is Miles "Tails" Prower:
He is an extraordinarily accomplished young man, who in his short life has already saved the world, was the sidekick of the illustrious Sonic the Hedgehog, and one of the greatest mechanical minds in the world.
Right now he is none of these things.
He is, was, and forever will be...
Cream the Rabbit's fiancee.
It was a childhood promise given to him when he saved her life. She had promised to be his bride as a reward. Finally, Miles "Tails" Prower had someone to fight for... someone to live for...
Someone to die for.
Then... her mother fled... and took her with her. She had promised to return one day... and now... ten years later... she was home.
This wasn't quite the reunion he had expected.
Poor Tails.
Tails struggled in vain with the steel rings. His situation didn't improve when a blonde girl pointed a gun at his head. 44 MAG. Not good. The girl was wearing a long, flowing black french coat. "D-Damn..." Thought Tails.
The girl grinned an evil little grin and said, "Surrender yet?"
Tails spat in her face.
"WHAT! WHY YOU--"
Tails squeezed his eyes shut, but she never finished.
There was a blaze of purple sparks and the gun melted in her hand. "YAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Screamed Mai. At the same time, the ring dissolved into a metallic goo. The metal rose in a spiral and shot in different directions. The goo transmuted into rings and they snapped open. Mai, Foxfire, and Mey were all trapped in the rings. Mai fell over. "What!" she yelled.
Tails opened his eyes to see Cream standing over him. Her arms were outstretched and purple sparks fizzed out in her palms. Her eyes were wide in shock and horror. She stared at her hands and her eyes closed. Her whole body trembled and the collapsed. Tails scrambled to his knees and lifted her head.
"Cream..."
When Cream woke up again, she was lying down inside the Tornado. She sat up and shook her head. What was happening to her! She looked at her hands in sorrow. This was actually the first time that she had really looked at her mechanics. Her hand was constructed of some kind of cream-ish white metal and wires. On the top of her hand, there was a square sheet of metal that was entwined into her mechanical palm. Her fingers were linked together by small disks. Her arm resembled sleek bars connected by a ball-and-socket joint at the elbow with wires that spider webbed across it; metal sheets protected her elbow. Her shoulder reminded her of football player's shoulder pads. The metal entwined directly into her flesh. Her leg was very similar with a huge foot.
Cream looked around the seat in front of her and saw Tails sitting in the pilot's chair. She smiled and leaned back. Night had fallen, and the stars shone with equal brilliance as that day ten years ago. Tails' head snapped around to check on her, and Cream pretended to be asleep. She opened one eye just a little and looked at him. The eight-year old boy she knew shone in his eyes. His expression seemed so comforting... a mixture of concern, gentleness, relief, happiness... and one more.
Love?
A smile came upon her lips and she closed her eye.
Tails felt remorse. He wasn't really sure why, but he did. Guilt for not being there soon enough. But he knew what she would say: "Don't worry, Tails, it wasn't your fault." He sighed and turned back around. He thrust the accelerator and the Tornado moved faster. He set the coordinates for his workshop and set it on autopilot. Tails leaned back and sighed. There was so much... drama.
A thud interrupted his thoughts. "What the-" he said.
A second thud shook the whole plane and Cream woke up. A third thud and the plane shook violently and bounced. "AHH!" yelled Cream. "Damn turbulence..." Tails muttered. He tried to take the plane off autopilot but it wasn't working. The lights flicked on and off until it shut down with a loud BRRRRRR. Tails blinked and realized the impossible. His eyes widened in terror as the plane shook one final time. "Cream... get up here now." Cream swung around into the front seat as the plane's nose pointed downward. Cream clung to him and the plane pitted into a free-fall.
"EI-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The Tornado rocketed to the ground at fiery speed and the machinery striped away. As the plane burned to pieces, Tails grabbed Cream's face and pressed his lips to hers. The Tornado rammed into the ground and exploded.
Then silence.
Dead silence.
