"So this is him?" said an old man.
"Yes." said the average voiced man.
"He is so young!" said a surprised female with a motherly tone.
"Indeed he is." said the average voiced man.
"Can one so young bear this great weight?" asked an elderly woman.
"I do not know but we don't have a choice." said the old man.
"Yes, we must place our faith in him." said the average voiced man.
"What of the other three?" asked the female with a motherly tone.
Tails woke up sweating and sat upright holding his head as he attempted to calm his nerves. He had never had a dream like that before it was so unlike any he had dream before. He decided to pass it off, as a bad nightmare and the last thing he wanted people to know he was having nightmares. He didn't want to be left out of the group cause he was 'so young' and telling people he was still having nightmares wouldn't support his cause. Tails laid back slowly in his bed and looking at the ceiling before hearing the loud snoring next in the bed a little ways away from him. Sonic was 'fast' asleep, when Sonic took a snooze it was never light.
"It was just a dream." said Tails in a low voice.
He closed his eyes and hoped for sweet dreams, instead of these confusing dreams he had been having recently.
It was another day at Knothole Village. The village of the few free people that remained on Mobuis and the headquarters of the Freedom Fighter, one of the few resistance groups still fighting to free Mobuis from Robotnik, an overlander who seized control of there home and began to turn people into his robotic slaves using a sick machine known as the robotizer. The wars end however was nowhere in sight. The Freedom Fighters had skills but Robotnik had numbers and even worse there loved ones, serving him as his robotic slaves. The fight against Robotnik was just as physical as it was mentally, as he sent there loved ones against them. They weren't giving up, not till all there loved ones were freed and Robotnik completely over thrown. Robotnik wouldn't stop till he found and destroyed the resistance and their hidden village that laded safely hidden deep in The Great Forest.
Tails slowly walked through the village without a signal thing to do. His friends Sonic, Aunt Sally, Rotor, Bunnie, even Antonie had all left on another important mission Tails wanted to help as much as he could but he was turned away all the time as he was always 'too young'. Sonic always would say 'Next time' and Aunt Sally would say 'When your older'. It had been over a year since he had first asked to help out but he still 'wasn't old enough' and the 'next time' still hadn't come. Tails slowly sat down by the power ring pond and just stared at its shinning waters.
"Why can't I help?" said Tails to himself.
The most exciting thing Tails had been able to do to help out the Freedom Fighters was get the power rings from the ring pond and that was about as exciting as it got, however after collecting enough of the rings from the pond it got pretty boring quick. He still wasn't able do anything new for them and he wasn't very popular with the other kids his age. His twin tails being the main reason. Tails thought of all the times he had been made fun of by other kids and called a freak and so he avoided many of the kids as possible. If Sonic or the others were around then the kids didn't even think of calling him names but many times they were out on an important missions. He also noticed recently that many of them had started to make fun of the fact he wanted to join the Freedom Fighters and laughed at him.
"Hey look its the freak!"
Tails turned around to see a group of three kids about his age, a hedgehog, a rabbit, and a fox. Tails turned away to hide his face from the group as he remembered what Aunt Sally had told him. 'Just don't talk to them Miles, if they know you don't like it they will keep doing it.' He decided just to not look at them and just pretended to stare off into the lake any not pay any attention to them. The kids seem be very interested in Tails now as the surround Tails and all begin to stare down at him as Tails just remained sitting.
"What you doing freak!" asked the hedgehog.
"Maybe he hopes to scare out the power ring with his tails." taunted the rabbit.
They laughed, as Tails remained calm not wanting to start a fight or anything, he just wanted to be left alone.
"Or maybe he is still wants to be a Freedom Fighter? He wants to scare Robotnik away with his tails." insulted the fox.
Tails couldn't help but get mad as at least he HAD something special about him, it beat being unable to do anything special. Sonic had his speed, Aunt Sally had her brains, Rotor had his machines, Bunnie had her robotic legs and arm and Antoine... well Aunt Sally always said he had something special too but he couldn't think of it currently. Tails decided to look down at the ground to hide his face from his growing anger. Why couldn't anyone understand him? Why was he always left out?
"Is the freak crying?" taunted the hedgehog.
"Crybaby! He's a crybaby!" chanted the fox.
He wasn't crying, it wasn't like he was going to cry for these jerks. He just wanted them to leave him alone. They didn't seem to be leaving as the rabbit pushed him from behind and Tails went face first into the dirt.
"See he can't even be a man and stand!" laughed the rabbit.
The other laughed as well as Tails wiped the dirt from his face and clenched his fist and started to sniff a good deal as he was so angry he was crying.
"Leave me alone." uneasily spoke Tails.
The other kids seemed to take this as a sign of weakness and they decide to exploit it.
"Or what? You'll beat us with your two tails?" joked hedgehog.
Tails was losing it, he just wanted them to leave him alone for once but they wouldn't leave him alone. Sonic always said that he was special cause he had two tails but yet almost everyone outside the Freedom Fighters treated him like a freak of nature. Tails got up and turned towards the three some.
"Just leave me alone!" Tails screamed.
"Or what? You'll call the Princess..." started the fox.
Tails didn't give him a chance to complete that line. He tackled the fox and knocked him down and began to reckless punch the fox with all his strength.
"SHUT UP! DON'T YOU DARE INSULT AUNT SALLY!" cried Tails.
The fox just put up his hands in front of his face to protect himself from Tails punches as Tails began to lay into the fox. The hedgehog and the rabbit were caught completely off guard and stood in disbelief as Tails started to really hurt the fox.
"Timmy!" yelled a horrified rabbit.
He kept punching the fox till the fox as the fox's face started to bleed in the nose and Tails felt even the fox's face lose teeth. The fox attempted to block his face from Tails punches but still Tails hit him anyway.
"AAAHHHH!" screamed the fox.
Tails stopped when he heard the scream. The fox was all bloody and several swell marks were beginning to appear as Tails registered what he had just done. He did something that Sonic and Sally both told him not to do. He knew he was in deep trouble now, when they came back. Tails quickly got off the fox and spun up his tails and unwind them so he could start to fly away.
"You! You hurt Timmy! YOU! YOU! YOU OVERLANDER SCUM!" screamed the rabbit.
"We'll make you pay for hurting Timmy!" yelled hedgehog.
Tails had just started to fly away as he started for straight across the power ring pond as the hedgehog and the rabbit began to pick up rocks and throw them at Tails.
"Eat this freak!" yelled the rabbit.
The rabbit threw the first rock at Tails and hit him in the leg. Tails winced in pain as he felt the hard rock hit his leg. Tails struggled to fly higher and get farther away from them now.
"Overlander trash!" insulted the hedgehog.
He threw a rather big rock at Tails and hit Tails in the shoulder pretty hard. Tails felt his shoulder surged with pain as the rock hit his arm and his arm almost give away under the pain of the impact. Tails was losing focus and was now hovering above the ring pond now as he turned to try and fly higher again.
"FREAK!" screamed the rabbit.
The rabbit threw another rock at Tails and it hit Tails right in the back of the head. It wasn't that big of a rock but it was enough to cause the world Tails saw around him to go black and him to go head first into the ring pond. The rabbit and the hedgehog both pick up another rock and got ready to throw rocks at Tails when he came up. The kids waited for a few moments and noticed Tails wasn't coming up while Tails slowly began to sink into the ring pool.
"What's going on here?"
The rabbit and the hedgehog turned around to see a teenage squall with blue boots and a blue vest that everyone knew as Princess Sally and behind her was a blue hedgehog with red and white striped shoes and white gloves that everyone knew as Sonic. The kids quickly tried to hide the rocks they had been holding as the injured fox started to get up on his own.
"Well?" asked Sally in a stern voice.
"The freak started it!" blurted out hedgehog.
"He attacked Timmy! Look!" pointed the rabbit.
Sonic had crossed his arms in disbelief and surprise Sally fell in suit with this action. They both seemed on the same wavelength currently. Air bubbles start to come out of the center of the ring pool as Tails sinks all the way to the bottom.
"And why did he attack Timmy?" asked Sonic.
"Ummm... well..." started the hedgehog.
"I don't know!" replied the rabbit.
"I mean look at Timmy!" said the hedgehog.
Sally and Sonic didn't seem fooled by their attempt to get sympathy for Timmy. They knew the kids had done something to get it started. Sonic eyes began to wonder onto the pond as he notices the bubbles and instantly nudges Sally with concerned eyes. Sally quickly looks at Sonic as he points to the pond. Sally eyes widen and quickly turn back to the kids who also turned around to notice the pond as well.
"Where is Tails?" demanded Sally.
The kids look between each other for a few seconds as they searched for an excuse but they didn't find one.
"He attacked Timmy!" responded the rabbit.
Sally cursed under her breath as she ran forward past the kids as she kicked off her boots and threw her vest to the side and instantly dived into straight into ring pool. Sonic looked at the three kids as they both all looked at the ground.
"You better hope my best bud is alright or you'll all be in a very uncool place." stated Sonic in a stern voice.
