Author's note: Yesh! More reviews! I love you all!
Shadowsdarkangel, thanks so much! And I'll so pass that test, just for you guys! Welcome new reviewer chaogirl! Yay!
Which reminds me, I have a Xanga, My name is Tailschaoball. Some fart used it before I remember I got a lot of hate messages because they sucked at story writing (not to be mean, but don't steal my stuff… I kill those people and feed them to my cat…) So if you feel like reading about my other weird antics, quirks, and anime stories (as well as cool ways to raise your chao, I'm so good) you can visit! Yay!
File 6 Crashing Waves
Entry 4 Viper
As whispers resonated through the room, Sonic and Tails stood, like statues, as more and more foxes entered the room. Bowing and whispering, it seemed everyone was worshipping Tails.
"Why…are they bowing?" Sonic asked.
"I don't know…" Tails said back. He looked at Sonic. "How are we gonna get out of"
"Miles…? Miles!" A fox cried. The room parted.
Tails and Sonic stared down an older graying fox. Her fur was parted, and back in a ponytail like Talons. But hers was much longer and had different colors woven into it, braided into small knots. She wasn't wearing the armor of the others. Instead, she had on what looked like a ninja suit.
"Uhm, hi." Tails said, waving a little bit. "Who are you?"
"You don't recognize me?" the fox asked. She sounded sad.
"Sorry." Tails said.
Sonic looked closer at the fox. "Tails…" he sounded astonished. "Tails, that's your mom!" She wasn't paying attention to Sonic.
"Mom!" Tails exclaimed incredulously.
Now the older fox grinned. "You do recognize me!" she said. "I am Rosemary Prower, your mother. Oh, Tails. You look so much like your father…"
Tails blinked, then looked at Sonic. "Is that…a compliment?"
"Yeah." Sonic said. He grinned.
Tails turned back to his mother. "Mom, I"
"Did you come to visit us? Such good timing!" His mother said. She came towards him, and Tails took two steps backwards into Sonic.
"What are you afraid of?" Sonic asked. "Aren't you happy? It's your mom!"
Tails nodded. "But…"
He heard a gasp and looked at his mother. She was staring in shock at Sonic, who was frowning.
"How long has he been here?" Rosemary turned on the troops, who ducked their heads. "You know by Amadeus' name, there is to be NO HEDGEHOG PRESENCE. How dare you go against such a solemn rule? Why is he still free?"
Talon raised his head, saying, "M'lady, there was a slight…problem." He looked at Railside, who shook his head. Obviously, he was afraid of Rosemary. "Miles told us not to kill him…He said that they were friends…"
"Friends? Doesn't anyone want to tell him his Father's story?" The room was silent. Rosemary turned back to Tails. "Miles, dear. That hedgehog is.."
Tails looked at Sonic, then at his mother. "Mom…" He said softly. "I can't let you do anything to Sonic. He was there for me. He's like my big brother. And if you kill him, then I'm dead too." The whole room was quiet. "So I can't let you…I won't let you hurt Sonic."
Rosemary looked sad. "you know, that's how your father felt." She said. "You really are just like him. But I can't let your sweet nature be taken advantage of, Miles. Seize the hedgehog!"
Tails widened his eyes. "What?"
Sonic widened his eyes as a wave of foxes came at him. "Whoah!" He cried. "Tails, Come on!"
Tails whipped his tails like a propeller. "Let's go!" He said to Sonic, regretting having to leave his mother.
Sonic grabbed Tails' hands and they went soaring over the wave of foxes. They gaped up at Tails, who landed by the big silver doors. Sonic pulled his friend through the doors and they were back in the labyrinth of hallways.
"Which way?" Sonic asked, and Tails couldn't tell him.
"Try every door!" Tails said. "We don't have a choice!"
Meanwhile, Tails worried about his mother and father. WHAT happened to his father? Why? And…who was gonna tell him?
"Miles!" Tails recognized Talon. Sonic started to speed up, but they both heard: "NO! That's the wrong way!"
Sonic skidded to a stop. "WHAT!" He asked.
Talon beckoned. "Follow me!" He said. "If you go that way, you'll be caught! Hurry! We'll take a secret route!" He led both Sonic and Tails quickly through the labyrinth back to the landing deck. He explained to them as they ran. "I understand what you're going through. I guess it's really unreasonable. The Ancient Ones heard Rosemary's case, about Amadeus. They said that all of the hedgehogs must be killed…Amadeus was your father, Miles"
"…Call me Tails." Tails said.
"Tails." Talon said. "And you?" he turned to look at Sonic as he opened a door.
"My name's Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic grinned.
"It's good to meet you, Sonic…I'm sorry about before. No hard feelings, right?" Sonic nodded, and Talon continued, "I had a friendship like yours when I was little. My best friend as a kid wasn't a hedgehog, she was… she was an echidna."
"An echidna? Like Knuckles!" Sonic said.
"What was her name?" Tails asked.
"Nyamo." Talon said. "She was…everything to me. I mean, she was always there. But since that rule was passed, they won't let me see her. Echidna's are the same as hedgehogs in the Ancient Ones' eyes." Talon sighed as he walked them into the landing dock. "So I understand what you mean by friends. And what you said before, Tails, that woke me up. So I'm gonna help you out of here, if…"
"If?" Sonic asked.
"If you take me with you."
