Life Spring Breeze
Alright, let's get Chapter 2 on here before I have to wait any longer, because school starts next week for me!
Chapter 2: The Life Spring
Tails looked in awe at the surroundings before him. He had found the secret forest area, and it looked truly beautiful. There were flowers everywhere, and they all looked more beautiful then one could ever think they could be like.
"This place is wonderful. All these flowers here grew very beautifully, and they all look so healthy. Cosmo would definitely love a place where flowers grow like this." Tails commented.
"I'm glad you like it." said a mysterious voice.
"Wha? Who's there?" Tails wondered.
"It was me," the mysterious voice answered. "My name is Hana, the spirit who watches over the Life Spring. Welcome, young fox. You mentioned something about a "Cosmo," didn't you? Who is that?"
"Hold on, I'll bring her to you." Tails answered. He went back to his workshop and came back with the pot that held Cosmo's rose. "…A plant?" Hana questioned.
"Actually, she used to be a humanoid flower girl, about my size, but I was tragically forced to destroy her in order to save the galaxy. My friends attempted to restore her, but all they could do was produce a seed. I was hoping that I could find this place and use its magical properties to restore her completely. I really care about her, so can you please help me, Hana?"
A/N: Remember when I said that Cosmo could think on her own as a rose? For those hoping I would do something going back to this, here you go.
"He…he really cares for me?" Cosmo thought.
A/N: Sorry, that's it.
"Such is the way of the Seedrian rebirth cycle." Hana said to himself. "Alright, I'll see if I can do it. There's an empty bit of soil over there, next to the other flowers. Place the flower there." Tails did so. "Now, see that spring over there? Take some water using a cup (a rock shaped like one) and drizzle it around the area where the pot soil and the spring's soil met." Tails did so. "Now take a bit of water and put it in the middle of the rose. It should be absorbed through the bud and into the rest of the plant." Tails did so, and it did what Hana said. "That's it. Now you must wait one whole month for the growing to take effect. You sure you can handle it?
"I'll do anything for Cosmo." Tails replied. He then left the Life Spring.
Not done yet! This next part has humor, and the return of you-know-who…
2 weeks later…
"Tails, are you sure that would work?" Sonic asked. He had come over to play a bit of SA2:B. Tails accepted, and during a race on Radical Highway, Tails told him what happened.
"I can only hope right now, Sonic. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to kick your butt again." Tails replied. He was Metal Sonic, and Sonic was, of course, Sonic.
"Ha! Do you really think you can beat the fastest thing alive?" Only if you'll realize that I already did!"
"What?" Tails was right. Sonic wasn't looking, and the game Sonic fell off from a Hunter's shot. Tails noticed this and prepared to finish. "Dang it! You won't beat me again on that stage, Tails! I want a rematch!" Just then, they heard a sound, sort of like warping.
"That sounded like Chaos Control! Come on, Sonic!" Tails yelled. They exited the workshop to find…
"Shadow? You're alive!" Sonic asked to Shadow.
"Yes, faker, I'm alive. After I used Chaos Control on that spot in space, I had to go take care of something important."
"Like what?" Tails asked."
Shadow then cast his glance downward. "I…can't tell you." He then used Chaos Control to leave.
"Well, I won't dwell on what Shadow was talking about, but he could've at least stayed longer!" Sonic angrily said.
Tails could only chuckle. "Come on, let's go back. I think I want to beat you again in Final Chase!"
"What? Oh, it's on now, fox-boy!" Tails and Sonic went back inside. Sure enough, Sonic again lost to Tails (who chose Shadow just to make him mad).
"Not so fast now, huh Sonic?" Tails taunted.
Sonic grumbled. "Just you wait Tails…"
Now back to the main plot!
2 more weeks later…
Tails woke up to find that it had been a whole month since he was at the Life Spring. Tails quickly got out of bed, and prepared himself for the possible return of Cosmo…
That's it for now! I know I didn't give Shadow much time, but at least you'll know he's back…
