Author's note: My auntie had a baby and he's sooo cute! You know how people fawn over babies and stuff? Well, I can see why! He's so adorable, and he has the tiniest hands! He's got long fingers though, so we think he'll play basketball. But I really hope he's a good kid, because he's so adorable and it is my aunt and uncle and I love them a whole lot. Yeah. This one's for my cousin!
by the way...I'm really lazy and spent two weeks on vacation. And what do I forget at home? You got it, my laptop. Please don't shoot me. I'll go cry now, honest.
File 8 Angel Island; The Lost Sanctuary
Entry 1 Meeting Misery
Tails waited by his plane for Sonic and Talon to return with Knuckles and Amy. He wasn't sure who else was there, but he had to keep an eye out for the fleet that they had only just escaped. If they caught Sonic, they would kill him!
"Tails!" Tails heard Talon yelling.
"Talon?" Tails turned around quickly. Talon was holding onto another fox's hand, running at him like there was no tomorrow.
"Tails! We barely got away with our lives!" Talon cried, skidding up to him. "Sonic has two chaos emeralds!"
"…Well, yeah. We took four before we left. I asked Knuckles to." Tails looked at the other fox, who was dressed in overalls and had a patch over her left eye. Her right eye was a startling green. She was almost pitch black...and, Tails thought to himself, feeling ashamed, she was pretty cute. "Who are you?" he asked.
"I'm…" The fox hesitated.
"Her name is Miserie." Talon supplied. "She's from Space Colony ARK."
"Really?" Tails asked. "I didn't see you when I was there." He looked at Miserie, who was fidgeting. "What's wrong?" He asked, watching her curiously.
"…They made me leave." Miserie said. She closed her eye. "Shadow and Amy and Knuckles…They said they'd get out and that I should leave."
"Shadow?" Tails looked at Talon. Talon shrugged.
"There was a black and red hedgehog there, he looked like Sonic. They called him Shadow. Sonic was surprised to see him too." Talon said.
"Shadow's ALIVE!" Tails asked. Miserie nodded.
"Of course he's alive…" Miserie paused again. "But we were with the Doctor, and"
"The Doctor?" Tails asked. "Doctor Robotnik?"
"Yes, we were with him. We just found him, and he was injured. But he disappeared." Miserie said. "I figured it out. It was a robot that we were helping."
"…You teamed up with Eggman." Tails said.
Miserie shook her head. "Amy wanted to kill him. But I told her not to because he was injured. Besides we were stuck, and not too far away from the floating island."
"She's right." Talon added. "Freedom isn't far away. We had sent a couple soldiers after them after they took the pink hedgehog from us."
"Amy? What was Amy doing on Freedom?" Tails asked.
"They must have captured her." Miserie concluded. She looked at her hands. "I don't understand why, but they don't like hedgehogs there."
Talon sighed. "It's a long story."
Tails nodded. "So you saved Amy?"
"Well, Shadow did too. We protected her." Miserie wagged her tails. "Amy is really nice."
Tails smiled. "Yeah." He agreed.
Miserie pointed at her eye. "That's how I lost my eye."
Both Tails and Talon frowned. "What?" Talon asked.
"…We were walking, and Shadow heard something in the bushes. It was a solder, chasing us! Shadow told Amy to move, but she was too scared. So I pushed her out of the way, and my eye…"
"Oh my god…" Talon said. He took Miserie's hand. "I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry." He said. "Please forgive my people."
Tails stood there, bewildered. This girl…She didn't even know Amy, who probably suspected Shadow of something the whole time…This girl had saved Amy and even though it cost her an eye, she was still smiling…she even called Amy nice!
"It's okay." Miserie told Talon. She reached into one of her pockets, producing a spherical object. "I'm making a new eye, a bionic one!" She exclaimed. "This is just made of spare parts though."
Tails took it from her. "This is really good." He said, turning it around in his hand. "But it won't fit in your eye. I'll help you make one in my lab." He promised.
Miserie widened her eyes. "Really?" she cried. "Amy was right! You are really nice! Thank you!" She said, happily. She wagged her tails again. "And a lab! I want to see a lab!"
Tails smiled, and he looked at Talon. "so do you know what Sonic and Shadow are up to?"
"No." Talon shook his head. He was still holding Miserie's hand, clutching at it as if when he left go she'd run away. "They told me to take Miserie away as fast as possible."
"I know what they're doing." Miserie said. "Sonic had two Emeralds. They said that they were going to use Chaos Control." Miserie paused. "But I don't know where to. Shadow said that if they used the Emeralds to warp through space, they could end up anywhere they wanted."
"Yeah, they can." Tails said. He looked at Talon, about to ask him a question, when Miserie interrupted.
"But that doesn't make sense." Miserie said.
"…It doesn't?" Talon asked.
Miserie nodded, thoughful. "If they could teleport anywhere without restriction…" She murmured. "It could only be when the wavelengths are different." She nodded. "If they were different wavelengths they could, right?" She looked at Tails. "Because right now, they're in the dormant state, where they're on the same wavelength of the Master Emerald. Which means that they've got a restriction. Doesn't the Master Emerald have a restriction of it's own?"
Tails nodded. "Yeah, it's powers can't be used when it's broken up. That's all though. Or at least, all I know about."
"…Yeah, that's it. See, when the Chaos Emeralds are synchronized with the Master Emerald, then they are like pieces of the Master Emerald. Which means that they have a restiction. Unless all seven are together, you can't teleport anywhere you want. There has to be a restricion, just like how it is when all the Emeralds are together."
"What do you mean? The giant Chaos Control that brought us all here?" Tails asked.
"…What do you mean?" Talon asked.
"Well." Tails said. "It's just a theory, but we could have been brought here by a super powerful chaos control."
"What's chaos control?" Talon asked.
"When all the Emeralds are together without the same wavelength, they cause a response like…friction. It's always there unless you make the wavelengths the same." Miserie said. "It can happen between any amount of the Emeralds."
"How can Sonic and Shadow use the Chaos Control then?" Talon asked.
"I don't know." Tails said. He looked at Miserie. "Any idea?"
"I'm not sure either. It's a mystery." Miserie said.
"You know a lot about the Emeralds." Talon said Miserie. "For someone who comes from Ark, I wouldn't expect you to know anything about them."
Tails agreed. "I mean, you came up with a pretty difficult theory."
Miserie nodded. "I don't know how I know it." She said. "I wasn't supposed to."
"What?" Tails asked, but Talon interuptted.
"Wait! If Shadow and Sonic don't know about this, they could be sinking in some ocean! We have to hurry!"
"You're right!" Miserie cried. "But how will we find them?"
Tails grinned. "Leave it to me! The Tornado has two Chaos Emeralds in it for unlimited energy! One emerald could give it unlimited energy by itself, but I wanted to test out this new engine anyway. But I can use one to track the other two!"
"A tracker? Would that work?" Talon asked.
"Well, since all the wavelengths are the same, it should be no problem!" Tails nodded.
"Alright. But…We want to stay out of the clouds. The fleet is heading towards the Sanctuary." Talon said. He gripped Miserie's hand. "We don't want anyone to get hurt."
"Angel Island? Why? They have another Emerald?" Tails asked.
"Yes, we had one." Talon said.
"If we find Sonic and Shadow, we could probably help them get there in time!" Tails said.
"Okay!" Miserie cried. "Let's go!"
