The 8th Chaos Emerald
Chapter 2: Catching Up
Tails couldn't say anything. Just 2 months the person he cared most about scarified her self to save the rest of the universe. But right there, in front of him she stood there. "COSMO HOW ARE YOU ALIVE! He said with great excitement.
"Umm that's kind if hard to explain, but will try to." She replied with a smile.
"That seed you had was actually a sprit capsule. Spirit capsule's have the ability to store a bit of a creature's spirit and some DNA. By time, the creature's spirit and body are able to regenerate and comes back. So did you understand?" She began to stare at the swords that Tails had in his
Sonic and Knuckles were confused about everything she just said.
Tails on the other hand understood perfectly. "Hmm I see. Do you have anymore of those?" he asked still surprised about their technology.
"No. that was the only one I was able to find in my ship when it was destroyed." She replied. "Tails can you get me a glass of water? I'm a little thirsty." She asked
"Sure" he replied. He left towards the kitchen to get some water.
"Sonic I need to ask you something." She looked towards Sonic.
"Yea what is it?" he replied.
"Those swords that Tails has, how did he get them?"
"I can't remember much of what happened back there. I was knocked out for a part of the fight. I could remember I heard Tails yelling about something and in a light he transformed. He had turned completely white and he called him self Hyper Tails. Right after that swords appeared and they were shining with energy. After that he defeated that Metarex.
"Wait, the Metarex are still alive!" she responded surprised.
"Yea, I was surprised too. Why did you want to know?"
"Those swords are the Legendary Chaos Swords. Only the Guardia/owner of the 8th Chaos Emerald is allowed to have such a powerful weapon. Only they can use it to its full power. Another thing is the owner/Guardian must be pure of heart. Its power is only to be used for good if someone were to turn evil buy its power the gem would destroy the owner. If this is true Tails is the guardian of the 8th Chaos Emerald." She said in a worried voice.
"How do you all of this." Knuckles asked.
"Well, my brother was the last owner, but the Metarex got to him first before I can warn him. Right when he went to work with them the gem destroyed him. I'm just hoping that won't happen to Tails." She continued
"I don't think Tails will ever do that. He's a good kid and has a heart of gold."
"I hope your right" she was feeling a little better
Tails came back with 4 glasses of water "figuring that you all might be thirsty after that fight."
"Thank you." They all replied.
"Hey sonic, what happened with that Metarex we were fighting?" Tails asked?
"What? You don't remember" Sonic and Knuckles replied.
"I can remember some parts buts it's all fuzzy." He said
"Well you transformed and…" he noticed Cosmo's gave a look of not to tell him about it.
"Yea I remember that, but what about those swords?" He asked
"Oh those swords, I don't know I was knocked out at the time." He knew that Tails would fall for that lie because he was knocked out. "All I know is that you destroyed that Metarex with those swords. I guess when you transformed you lost some memory of the fight."
"I think these swords belong to you Sonic. I know that I am too weak to use these." He said
Cosmo knew that the swords belonged to him so she decided to tell them what the swords are and how he can only use them. She won't tell him anything about the 8th chaos emerald. "Tails those swords are the legendary Chaos Swords. They choose an owner who is worthy to be used by them. Why don't both of you try to pick them up." This she knew would see of Tails is the owner of the 8th emerald.
"Why even bother I know they belong to Sonic." Tails said
Sonic grabbed the sword and he was able to lift it but something didn't feel right. It felt very heavy and the way Tails used them looked to easy to weigh this much.
"See I bet that I can't even lift them." Tails simply knew he couldn't use them.
"Well it doesn't hurt to try and what if you're wrong?" Cosmo replied.
"I know this is going to be a waste of time." Tails said as he began to grab the swords. Right when he lifted them up it was light and easy. The swords began to glow with such light that it could have blinded anyone in that room. "What's going on?" He asked with some fear in his voice. The light died down and the swords were on fire by Chaos energy.
"So Tails is the owner of these swords, I wonder if there's anything else this could mean." This might help him realize that he has some power in him.
"I can't believe it. They must have made a mistake, I'm just too weak." Is all Tails could say.
"Knuckles can you tell me how Tails destroyed those Metarex? I was knocked out for that part." Sonic asked Knuckles
"Sure." He knew what to say with out saying to much of the emerald. "From what I saw, The Chaos swords appeared after Sonic got hit by the cannon shot by that Metarex. The swords were exactly the way they are with the flames. The Metarex tried to escape but Tails shot an energy wave from his swords, I think it was called Chaos wave. Then it blew up and Tails fell to the floor." He explained
"See Tails you managed to destroy that thing with the swords. Stop thinking that your weak because your not." Sonic began to get impatient at the fox.
"Fine, but I still can't believe this. Anyways I'm going to bed I'm very tired." With that Tails left to his room.
Sonic turned to Cosmo. "So why didn't you want me to tell him about the emerald?"
"He needs to find out himself what he is capable. If we told him he would not know how he can use it. If he didn't remember he might not be ready or maybe the emerald needs to do something before he can know." Something was telling her that Tails shouldn't know, but she didn't know what it was.
"You seem to know more about this then any of us. I just hope he'll be ok." Sonic said
"What do you mean; you did tell me that he was pure of heart and a good kid. From what I remember he saved our lives plenty of times and can be trusted."
"I know he can be trusted but…"
"But what? She asked.
"He seems to doubt himself of what he can do. That can leaf to some trouble."
"He's just going to have to learn to be confident. I know that when times become desperate he will learn his powers." Knuckles replied.
"That's has got to be the first intelligent thing you've said in your life Knuckles. " Sonic Sneered
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? ARE YOU CALLING ME AN IDIOT" Knuckles yelled at Sonic.
"Someone is getting smarter every minute. Cosmo you stay here at Tails house see if he's asleep, if he isn't talk to him I'm sure there is something you want to ask him. I better get out of here before Knuckles destroy this house." With that he left in a snap.
"GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD!" Knuckles dashed after him.
"Well at least nothing has changed to much here" Cosmo said to herself. "Wonder how Tails is? Will he be able to unlock the true power of the 8th Chaos Emerald? Knowing him I think he can." She went to the room Tails had gone. She knocked but no one answered. "o well I guess he' sleeping. I'll talk to him tomorrow." With that she fell asleep on the couch.
Author notes:
Sorry for taking long to make this chapter but I am busy with school. I am making a movie for a 22 grade project. Also I when I was writing at the same time I was playing Tails Adventure and sonic riders (I was bored ok, also if anyone knows how to get to the floating islands in Tails Adventure tell me I am stuck there). I'll try to get the 3rd one up by next week (probably by Monday if I don't get lazy, but I know I will). If you are confused by anything E-Mail me at and I'll explain and also give you a website to watch any episode of Sonic X in English that have come out or the whole thing in Japanese or French. I know I got a lot of grammatical errors in this piece but I took but I fixed my "u" instead of "you" thing. Remember any suggestion about anything tell me and I'll see if I can put it in and of course you will get all credit for the idea. Please review. Till next time.
