Author's note: So my brother read the story and he asks 'Is Tails' mother REAL name Rosemary?' My response, well, DUH. So I decided to be nice and tell you what I know about Tails. Or at least a little bit. You should know that I am the biggest fan of Tails, first off. I got both Tails Adventure games, and I beat them. In DX, I beat Tails' version of the story first. I also read ALL of the Sonic comics and I have most of the movies and clips, sooo yesh. Anyway. If the Mobian year had 365 days, like we did, Tails' would be born on October 24th. Or 23rd on the leap year. He was born the day Eggman had chosen to conquer the world. Here's the trip I'm running on. Sonic's uncle, Sir Charles, made the machine that turned Tails' dad into a robot. But they never say anything about his mom. They say she was 'taken away from him'. By whom? That's how I based this story. You'll see how it turns out, won't you?
File 3- Nari (Lost)
Entry 3- Freedom?Miserie stared out the window. "What if there are more floating islands than one?" She worried. "What if there are two or three? And"
"Will you stop asking questions? Who are you talking to anyway?"
"Well, I was asking you, but"
"You're asking me like I know this!"
"You seemed sure in Ark."
"I know I seemed sure in Ark. That was before you started talking about all this weird stuff like elemental properties and that stuff. I mean, jeez." Shadow shook his head. "If you were a toy for Maria, you must have been a real enhanced toy."
Miserie smiled. "A real enhanced toy." She repeated.
Shadow's eyes were closed. He had been leaning against the wall opposite the screen since they left Ark, a good hour ago. The Pod was moving quickly, but they were entering the earth's atmosphere now, and the pod was slowing down, though still moving considerably fast. Either way, Shadow hadn't said much, but Miserie was so worried they'd trespass on someone's land that she kept asking him questions.
Now, Miserie stared out the window. She had been wondering before about whether she was a toy or not. Did toys know about quantum physics? Did toys cry? Did toys…move?
Miserie sighed. "What other source of energy could possibly hold up something big?"
Shadow opened one eye. "I dunno." He said, finally. "Why don't you ask whoever's on the island?"
Miserie looked back at the screen. "Okay. We're about to land anyway."
Shadow got up. "What?"
"Look!" Miserie stared out the window. "I didn't know Earth was so pretty."
Shadow was silent. Miserie stared down at Earth. She recognized things like trees and water and grass and buildings as they got closer, but she didn't know what everything was or what it was called.
"So you've never been to Earth." Shadow said, suddenly.
"Nope. Never." Miserie said, looking over her shoulder. Shadow was watching the screen, both eyes open, intent. "You have, right Shadow?"
He nodded. "How close are we?"
"I'm not su" The pod lurched, and Miserie went flying backwards. Shadow caught her.
"Yeah, we're close." Shadow said. Miserie looked up at him. He wasn't looking at her, but looking at the screen on the pod. It was fizzling out, changing colors and distorting. Shadow looked…relieved.
"Are we going to land soon?" Miserie asked.
"Yeah. But…" Shadow's eyes narrowed. "This can't be the floating island."
"Why not?"
"where's the Master Emerald? Where's…?"
"No. It is the floating island." Miserie pointed. "Look at the coordinates. They're the same. And it's still elevated land, like it said."
"The Master Emerald is gone. It's not the floating island."
Miserie looked at the screen, but it was blank. "Well, if it isn't, what are we going to do?"
"…I don't know." Shadow said. "but"
A loud crash drowned out Shadow's voice. Miserie would have hit the ceiling, if Shadow hadn't had such a grip on her arm. Instead, her foot hit a button and her whole body lurched forwards, while Shadow firmly held his ground. Then the whole pod started shaking madly, and Miserie couldn't see anything because her vision was blurred.
With a final crash, the ship abruptly stopped. And blew up. Fire was everywhere. The door to leave the pod was jammed, Shadow and Miserie were trapped.
"Shadow!" Miserie cried over the roar of the flames. "I'm afraid of fire!"
"What!" He yelled. "Can't you get over your fear!"
"NOW!" Miserie asked incredulously.
"now is good!" Shadow returned, tugging on her arm. Miserie stumbled to her feet and got up against the wall like Shadow was. They were close to the door, but could they make it?
All of a sudden, an ax hit just centimeters away from Shadow's head. It left a hole of gaping light. Miserie inches towards Shadow. For some reason, the flames were invoking horrible memories… red…orange…memories. She shook her head. Memories? She had none…right?
"Hey!" someone called. "Anyone in there? We're coming in to get you out!"
Shadow tugged Miserie's arm again. Miserie looked at Shadow, who said, over the flames, "We can get out with that Ax hole if we pull together!"
"But the Metal's temperature must be high! It'll be too hot!"
"No, not yet." Shadow said. "It's only been a few seconds since the fire started."
"Are you mad?" Miserie asked. But Shadow had already ripped open the hole.
"Get out!" He pushed Miserie towards the hole. "Hurry up! You've been breathing in too much smoke."
Miserie looked at the hole. If she bent into a ball, she could get through. She rolled herself up and somersaulted through. The light outside was bright, brighter than inside ark. Miserie shaded her eyes, and moved away from the pod. Shadow must have gotten out too, because Miserie could see his silhouette. But who had been calling them? Who was offering help?
"Welcome to Freedom." Something said. And then…Miserie fainted.
