Ch 17: The Past of Miles Prower
The fox girl known as Morgan is leading Tails and the others to her hut on a hill in the jungle. Her hut has a few metal pipes sticking out of it. They produced no smoke whatsoever. The leaves above were blowing from the exhaust. Her hut has a bunch of add-ons to it, so it is bigger then the rest. She leads them inside. For an inside of a hut, it looks pretty modern. There isn't any sign of any old things.
"Here we are, this place sure is better than that village. Sometimes the elder goes off his medicine and he gets nuts." Morgan sat at a table in the back room of the hut.
"Who is Milar?" Tails asked.
"He was your father. I can tell that you are related to him because of your eyes. You have your Mother's eyes."
"Wait, I was born on Earth...wasn't I?"
"I have videos that will explain everything in the other room. Tails follow me, the rest of you will stay here."
"Can May come too?" Tails quickly asked. Morgan nodded. They left the others and went into another room. There is a huge control panel in there. Morgan closed the door and turned the lights off. She started the computer up and played the recording. The video is showing a metallic room.
"Milar, come here. Miles is flying!" An unknown female voice said. The picture turned off for a second. It now showed a small two tailed fox hovering in the air.
"Good job Miles!" Then the baby fox went to a female fox and gave her a hug as he dropped into her lap. "Say something"
"Moo" Said the baby.
"I'll take that as a thankyou. What do you think Mia?" The clip went blank.
"You were cute as a baby." May said. "Your still cute now." Morgan put in another clip.
There are some people talking in a dark room. Then the lights went on and one of them was Milar and the others were Mia and A pink and black fox. "You know the dangers of keeping the ship in constant warp drive. So It'll take another Month to reach earth, It is better than being dead." Mia said. She is a yellow fox with two tails and she has sky blue eyes. She has short brown hair and glasses. She is wearing a blue lab coat.
"I know the risks involved, but we only have three days left of food. If we continue in the warp, we will make it in five days. If we just monitor the engines then nothing can go wrong." Milar said. He is a dark orange two tailed fox. He has brown eyes. He is wearing a pilots jacket and blue jeans.
"Fine, but I will monitor the engine, and If I see the slightest irregularity we pull out of warp drive. It's time to feed Miles, I'm going to the room." She left the room with the pink and black fox girl. Now the screen is showing the room where Mia went. The room is all metallic. There are three beds in the room. The lights on the ceiling are very dim, but enough to see by. Mia is feeding A bottle to Miles. Just then an explosion rocks the whole ship. The camera goes fussy but the sound is still on. "Milar, what's going on!"
"Put Miles inside a safety pod, we have to save him before us. We need you to help turn the engines off."
"Ok, but what went wrong?"
"Something huge is attacking us. We must hurry to the engine room."
"Bye Miles, I love you."
There is a huge crash that makes more static on the screen. The video pops back on to see the whole area gets covered in firey explosions. Then the screen cuts out.
"So they were my parents...I always thought they abandoned me..." Tails puts his head down. "What happened...Why were they in space, Tell Me Now!"
"Here is the story. Your Mother was a top scientist and mechanic for the Republic of the defense Isles. On her job she was in charge of the Project Terraform. She had to design a ship that could get to Earth. Your father was the best pilot in the world. He helped in the war against the Darlan Federation. He single handedly stopped 34 attacks from their air force. He just flew a biplane. He was assigned to pilot the Ferante' Warp Ship. They met at the build site."
"How do you even know this stuff?" Tails is almost in tears.
"My mother told me about them. She always hated your father. She was in love with him at one time, But he never noticed her. He fell in love with Mia at first sight. My mother was on anti-depressant pills for a while. She always talked about revenge for not loving her. After the ship exploded they all died, there were no survivors. The government analyses all the footage and found out my mother set up a bomb in the engine room. It was meant to just kill one person, your Mother, but it exploded early. Before anyone was in there. There was a huge radar reading outside of a space monster that was on the outside of the ship. The explosion probably killed it though."
"Your Mother Killed my PARENTS!" Tails got out his sword and pointed it at Morgan. "Did you know anything about this before! I should kill you right here!"
"Wait, I had no idea about this, I never thought she could do anything so horrible, If you kill me, then your no better than she is." Morgan is crying now. "After the accident, All the two tailed people involved in the project were sent to this island. All the villagers banished me here for her actions. I'm only allowed to enter the village to get food or supplies. I must not talk, play, or interact with any other villagers as long as I live. Except for the shop owner."
"I'm sorry...I...just can't think straight. I wish they were still alive...I always thought if I searched long enough, I'd find them. I guess I should give up now...I have no family." Tails dropped the sword on the floor and sat back on the chair. His head is turned away. Some tears are falling on the floor.
"I know this is hard for you, when I found out about the death of my mom I almost killed myself. But you have friends, I have nothing. Oh take this." She turned around and grabbed something out of a box. It is the green shard. She hands it to Tails and it goes to the sword like all the rest.
"Now all you need is one more right? You must bring the evil in this world to a halt. Only you can do it. Your related to the great hero from the great war. You can leave anytime you like." They all go out to the living room where everyone is waiting. They all leave and go out into the jungle once again. Tails explains everything to the rest of them as they walk in the path that he made earlier.
"So, Milar was your father, huh? No wonder your such a good pilot. You must get your smarts from your Mother then." May is starting to love tails even more. "You must be really sad, but you don't have to go through it alone, I'll always be with you." She puts her arm over his shoulder and leans her head on him.
"Finally, the last shard is just up ahead-" Tails stops because of some rumbling. It gets even more intense until something huge comes out of the ground. The thing lands right in front of the yellow shard.
"GRAAAAHHHHH!" The thing just roared. It looks like the mix of a gorilla and an alligator. The head is that of an alligator with the gorilla body. It is completely made of stone. It then put it's hands on the ground. The earth began to shake and then stone spires jutted out of the ground, forming a circle around the area. It separated Tails from the rest of the bunch. Shadow is too fast for the spires to stop him and he joins Tails in the ring.
"So, you are protecting the shard, aren't you." Shadow jumps up and does a homing attack to the thing's head. But nothing happens. "This thing is really tough."
"I know what to do, Firefuse!" Tails jumped in the air and pointed his enflamed blade at the monster. He gathers the entire strength of the 30 seconds of power. The sword is glowing pretty bright. "FIRE!" A huge ball of fire is hurdling towards the beast. It is engulfed in the giant fireball. The ball grows twice as big, and then explodes. After this Tails comes back down. "See that, there's no way it could've survived. It was at least over 1000 degrees."
"Tails, keep your guard up, it's still alive!" Shadow pointed to the smoke cloud. A huge rock flies out of it and almost hits tails. "I've got it, use the water element and then the ice element."
"Oh, that is sure to work, Waterfuse!" The blade becomes bubbly. Tails forces tons of water on the rock beast. It is soaking wet. All the water starts going around it and spins faster. It forms a giant bubble of water around it. "Shadow, use your energy power to hold the water in place." Shadow stands in front of the bubble and launches an energy net around the bubble like a forcefeild. "Icefuse!" Tails puts the icy blade into the bubble and it slowly freezes it on contact. The bubble is slowly becoming an ice ball. He pulls the sword out and looks at the thing.
"Wow, this looks pretty cool. I'll finish the job. Chaos Spear!" A whole bunch of yellow spears form around the ice ball. Shadow quickly forms a fist and the spears blast through the ice, shattering it along with the beast. "It's dead." The pieces of the beast start glowing. They become white and start sparking. "Oh no, Tails grab ahold of my arm and lift me as high as you can go. EVERYONE STAND BACK, IT'S GONNA BLOW!" Tails is up far enough to avoid danger.
"Wait, the crystal will be destroyed if left down there." Tails looks at shadow. He jumps down and lands at the crystal. He grabs it right before the rocks explode. Shadow turned platinum just as the explosions hit him. "SHADOW...please don't die." After the smoke clears Tails goes down to Shadow. He is on the ground in a ball. "Shadow...I'm too late." Shadow suddenly twitched and came out of the ball.
"Don't you know that I'm the ultimate life, that puny explosion didn't even scratch me." Shadow stood up and handed Tails the yellow shard. It went with all the other shard in the same place.
"But...how did you...you don't have ANY scratches?" Tails is very confused and amazed.
"I turned super for 5 seconds before the rocks exploded. I put myself in a ball to protect the shard." All the spires sank back into the ground. May ran over to Tails and gave him a big hug.
"You did it, now we can get the light shard." They all go back to the beach. "So, where to now?"
"Ace, tell us how to get to the holy island. My radar can't detect light or any kind of magical element." Ace points to the north.
"We have to go far to the north. There is a huge ocean whirlpool there. Beyond that lies Holy island. The hovercar won't be able to cross the whirlpool though. Only three of us can go. I'll stay here, you guys choose." Ace jumps in the hovercar and listens to some music.
"I really don't want to go either." Said Kaida.
"Well then, see ya later guys." Tails hops in the Tornado and starts it up. May jumps in the back seat. Shadow is on the tail again. He jumps off remembering what happened last time. "Hey Shadow, where ya going?"
"I really don't want to get wet again. I'll hop on again after you take to the skies." Shadow is waiting on the beach. Tails closes the glass dome as he turns around. They dive again and shoot out of the water as it turns into jet mode. Shadow takes off like a rocket and is running under Tails. Tails lowers the plane to the surface of the water and is causing the water to spray out. Shadow jumps onto the wing and then jumps onto the tail. "Okay, lets go!" Tails pushes a yellow button that put the jet into turbo speed. They are going at least 455 mph.
