File 6 Crashing Waves

Entry 2 Mother


"Tails!" Sonic whispered into his walkie-talkie. Tails jumped to attention in his plane seat. He had been lazily flying behind the fleet of ships.

"Yessir!" Tails whispered back. He had to flick Knuckles' connection off to let Sonic onboard and have a private line to talk to him on, but Tails was sure that Knuckles wouldn't mind.

"Found something funny." Sonic said softly. Tails nodded, then realized Sonic couldn't see him.

"What is it?" Tails asked. He kept his distance behind the fleet. He had gotten too close to drop Sonic off. There had been one warning shot. Tails was positive there wouldn't be another.

"Well, the thing is, you'd really fit in with these guys." Sonic said. "Yup. They have like everything on here."

"Is that it?"

"Are you ready for the punch line? They're all foxes!" Sonic explained.

"…So…?" Tails asked.

"Oh come on!" Sonic whispered. "YOUR foxes! Two-tails, extra genius included…"

"WHAT!" Tails screamed.

"HEY!" Sonic harshly whispered. "D'ya want them to oh crap…"

"Do I want them to oh crap?" Tails asked.

"…They found me." Sonic said. And then his line went dead.

"Oh nooo!" Tails moaned. "This does NOT go well at all!" He looked down at his control panel. "It's a good thing I restocked my missiles, but forty-five super missiles will definitely not destroy this fleet." Tails watched the planes in the fleet ahead of him. If he could get them to chase after a missile, maybe he could swerve in for a real crash landing on the main plane. The problem was, he wasn't sure which plane Sonic was on, because Sonic was on one of the follow up protection planes.

But all Tails had to do was wait. Not only did he know what plane Sonic was on but he knew how to land his ship after he saw one of the smaller planes (most likely holding Sonic) flying into a shaft in the larger plane.

"Aw-right!" Tails grinned. He pressed the super missile button, sending a pack of five missiles flying at the main ship. Instantly, three of the protection planes were on it. And with the amount of planes there were there, Tails wouldn't make it in without losing a wing. "Okay then! All super missiles, go!"

Forty four packs of five missiles went flying at the main ship. Tails sneaked into the main ship unnoticed.

Landing in one of the many ports there, Tails exited his ship and stared around him. The ship was immense! This landing deck was one of the biggest he'd ever seen! Which was perfect, because the Tornado wouldn't be seen, hopefully.

Tails heard a door open. He hid behind a ship quickly.

"It's bad enough that little upstart fox had to come with that hedgehog. Now here comes another one." Said one voice. It sounded angry and harsh, and male.

"Now, Railside…" said a gentle voice. It was male too. "The other fox was just confused. You know how young ones are. She caused quite the rising with Rosemary and the women."

ROSEMARY? Isn't that… Tails thought. But he still listened.

"Yes, she did, didn't she." The first voice said. "My Rhonda really liked her, but I'm already mad enough at her and her mother for letting the stupid love of rock music to"

"Railside…" The second voice said. "You're so stubborn, just like your father."

"I'm NOTHING like my father!" the first voice, Railside, yelled. The room echoed with his anger.

"…I'm sorry." Said the second voice. "I just"

"No. No, you're right, Talon. I'm like him. I'm so much like him…" Railside said. "But when Rhonda came home telling me about this girl…What was her name again? Miserie, there we go. She kept telling me about how cool she was and everything else, and how she came from ARK, and she knew of Rosemary's son…I was so mad! I couldn't understand why someone like…that little ragmuffin could possibly even dare to look at Rosemary and Amadeus' son."

"She didn't know, probably. She didn't come from around us."

Tails could see their feet now. They were wearing silvery shoes that extended up. They were coming for the ship that he was hiding behind!

"Hey, who's there?" Asked Railside. Tails panicked. Obviously, they had seen his shoes too!"

"Another hedgehog?" Talon asked.

"Come out!" Railside commanded. Tails looked around. If he ran for the Tornado, they would follow. He could only do one thing- knock them out and go look for Sonic. He had to tell Sonic what he had overheard. Was it possible? Another two-tailed fox they hadn't known of? …from ArK!
