Okay okay…It's been a VERY long time since I last put something up on and I feel like an idiot for not doing so. But thanks to an out dated computer forcing me to check one of my emails and a review I received I'm going to give the biggest update yet.

But first I have peoples to thank

RemedyTheThief: Thanks for the Support and all will be revealed soon.

Incognitos: Thanks for the review I don't think I would've update if you hadn't reviewed.

Ammrie: Thank you for helping me edit. Most of this chapter and proof reading. Also I hope to see a review from sometime too.

Now on with the show

It's been three days since we left Chakra town and I'm beginning to think we're lost

"Uh Tails?" May says quietly, somewhat weakly "Where are we?" "Lost" Tails sighs. He reaches into one of the pockets in his cloak and pulls out a compass. The needle spun in circles. "Crud" "Tails" "This thing is useless. We're surrounded by metal this compass is useless."

Great we're going to die in the middle of the desert with no food or water. No sign of life. Wait a minute…

"Surrounded by metal?" Miles thought aloud. "What?" Tails looked up into the sky.

Just as I thought

Tails quickly turned around, grabbed May and began to run. "T-TAILS…Where are we going" "As far away from Chakra town as quickly as possible" May looked confused. "Look up" Tails commanded the girl in order to explain. "I-Is that an airship" "Not just any airship" "R-Robotnik?" "Right and I bet he's looking for someone" "Who?"

I don't have time for this

Tails grabs May wrist tight and begins to run at near Sonic speed in the opposite direction. May grimaced in pain. She felt like Tails was trying to rip her arm off. The fox would've too if he went any faster. Then Miles suddenly stopped and May almost flew twenty feet in front of him. The cat rubbed her arm and yelled "Jerk what was that for?" Looking at Tails' serious look on his face her face changed to a look of worry. "What's wrong" "I just ran us both into a trap" Tails growls as the ground started shaking and series of robots arose from the sand.

Crap! We should've never have come here. GAH! Why did I run this way? I should've stood still

"T-Tails?" May cowered behind the said kitsune. "Do something" Tails told May to bend down as he covered her under his cloak for some camouflage. He then ran to the closest machine.

There's too many to fight on my own. I've got to make a hole and escape

Tails ducked a blast form the robot he was charging towards. The young fox spun his body so quickly that his two tails sliced through the robot like two diamond bladed swords. He yelled behind him "May, Stay two feet behind me. No closer no further". May nodded quickly getting up and running behind him. Tails was slashing right and left trying to create a path through all the scrap metal.

There's just too many of them. I would've been long gone if I could spin dash but then I would leave May behind. I have no choice but to do this

Miles stops suddenly. May nearly crashes into his back trying to stop "Tails? What are you-?" Tails wrapped his arm around the girl and yelled "Chaos Control" At that moment they were teleported to the entrance of a cave somewhere. Mayhem forcefully removed Tails off her, then with a look of pure amazement and curiosity asked "What just happened?" "Chaos Control" "What?" "Use of a Chaos Emerald by tapping into their power". Now the girl stared at him even more confused. "But we don't have a Chaos Emerald. Do we?" "We do" "What? Where is it?"

Flashback

Tails looked on as a blinding light filled the room and seven different colors flew in different directions. "EEK Chocola," A fifteen year old Cream the Rabbit yells. Tails snaps his back looking seeing the Cheese's twin crash to floor glowing a strange hue. "Tails?"

End Flashback

"Tails? Hello?" May said waving a hand in his face.

Oops. Lost Track. I have to stop thinking about that day. It's in the past and none of those events will ever be repeated.

"TAILS!"

"Agh crud!" Tails jumps snapping out of his day dream.

"Well are you going to tell me where the chaos emerald is or not?", May nearly yells. Tails quickly jumps to cover her mouth. "Are you Crazy!" he retorts.

Geez this girl is trying to get us killed

"The walls have ears. You have to be careful of what you say. Who knows who or what might be in this cave." Tails states. "Now I'm going to let go of your mouth. I don't want you to yell, bite me, or scream. Okay?" The young kitsune releases his grip on the girl. As soon as he done so May had kicked Tails in the shins. "Ow! DAMN!"

If it weren't for Him I would've left her her back at that damned town. But that wouldn't be fair

"Grr… I could take you back to Chakra" May sighs "Sorry. But could you just tell me where it is?" "Sorry I can't" Tails smirks. "What! Why not!"

Tails walks deeper into the cave. "HELLO!" May yells to the fox. Miles just waves his hand giving off the gesture of "Leave me alone". "What are you doing now?" Mayhem growls. "Finding you a place to sleep for the night." "Huh?" "I've got to look for food". Mayhem studies Tails for a moment. His fur was messy, his ears twitched uncontrollably . Prower curious of why the green cat had suddenly gone quiet . At that moment May noticed how bloodshot his eyes are. "Y-you look like you haven't slept in days"

Tails sighed "I haven't had a good rest in three years. I've had nothing but four minute naps since Sonic's death" May gasps and shakes her head. "This isn't going to work." "What?" "You run a great risk of over exhaustion and mental instability. You might go insane"

You mean I haven't already?

"Listen I don't need to rest that much" "Oh no" May shouts forcing Tails onto his back. "Look I'll keep watch until morning" The cat throws Tails' cloak onto of him as a blanket. "Look May" "Sleep! ...Or I'll make you sleep". Tails looked to the side to see the girl holding a rather large rock, ready to swing. Mayhem looked nervously at him. She knew her threat stood on top of a toothpick ready to be severed a battle ax.

At least she means well

Miles half growling sighs. "Fine but don't let anything in this area". May nodded and smiled.

Yawn. Well it looks like she's forgotten about the emerald. Image the look on her face when she finds out she's-

"Shreeeeek"

What the!
