Chapter 4: The Truth

Tails was heading towards Creams house in the X Tornado with Cosmo Cham and Chan. Chan not know what was going on pressed a button and plane began to loose control.

"CHAN DON'T PRESS ANY BUTTONS!" Tails said screaming to the Chao. He managed to get control of the plane and continued his flight towards Cream's house

"I wonder what Cream is going to say when she sees me?" Cosmo asked

"Knowing how she was before, you better get ready for the hardest hug in your life." Tails laughed as he said that

"Did you all really miss me that much?" Cosmo asked

"Can't you tell by the way Sonic, Knuckles, and I reacted. I know I did a lot." He said.

"Chao chao chao chao chao chao" Cham and Chan began singing.

"Chao chao chao chao chao chao" Cheese began singing with them.

"They seem happy." Cosmo said happily.

"Yea, hey you can see Cream's house from here." Tails said. Bellow you can see a small house and there was a rabbit out side.

"Hey isn't that Cream over there?" Cosmo asked

"Yea it is. I guess she was going to look for Cheese. Hold on I'm going to land.

Cream was getting ready to leave. She saw the X Tornado landing and there were two people inside. She though it was going to be Sonic and Tails.

Tails landed the X Tornado.

"Hey Cosmo stay hidden for a bit I want to surprise her ok?"

"Sure" Cosmo asked

Tails opened the cockpit and jumped out. Cheese, Cham and Chan followed him.

"Hey cream look who I found!" He said pointing at Cheese.

"CHEESE WERE HAVE YOU BEEN!" She came running towards cheese.

Cream is a small cream colored rabbit with brown spots on her eyes and on her forehead.

"CHAOOOOOOOOOOOO" Cheese went flying towards her.

"I've missed you so much" she said hugging the chao

"That's not all." He said looking towards the X Tornado.

Cosmo saw him looking that way. Cream and Tails were walking towards the plain. She opened the cockpit and walked jumped out.

"Hey cream. It has been a long time since I saw you." She said to Cream

Cream couldn't believe that Cosmo was standing right in front of her.

"C…C...COSMO IS THAT REALLY YOU!"

"Yes it is" she said smiling

"I can't believe that you are alive!" She said running towards her. She hugged her so hard that Cosmo had hard time breathing.

"Cream I can't breath!" she said struggling.

"I am sorry, it's just that it has been too long and I did miss you a lot!"

"I know I've missed you too."

"Tails, Those Chaos next to you who do they belong to?" she asked him

"They belong to me." He answered

"Since when did you have them?"

"About 2 hours ago. Hey lets go inside your house we can explain everything there." He said

They all went inside her house. Cream's mom Vanilla was also as surprised.

"Let me start from the beginning. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a space ship falling from the sky. I went over to see if there was anyone on it. I got in my plain and flew over there. The space craft was very familiar. As it began to open I saw it was the Metarex." Tails began

"The Metarex, I though we destroyed them." She was surprised

"That's what I though at first. Anyways I told sonic and Knuckles to try to hold him off for a while. I went to my workshop and got all 7 Chaos Emerald so sonic and I can go in our super form to defeat that thing. When I got there, Sonic and Knuckles saw me coming back with the emeralds. I told Knuckles to hold off the Metarex so Sonic and I can transform. Everything was going well until Sonic got hit by a laser and was knocked out. I don't know what happened next. All I can remember was me getting mad. Then I was on the floor with these two swords. We were going back to my house when there was a flash of light. It came from my house. We ran inside only to see that the seed that belonged to Cosmo was glowing. In a flash Cosmo was standing there. None of us could have believed that she was alive. She told us that she used a spirit capsule that takes you're a little bit of you spirit and a little but of your DNA. Then by time your body will regenerate and you come out like you did before with the same memories. She also told us that the swords I have are the legendary Chaos Swords. After that we talked. I went to bed before Sonic and Knuckles left. That fight got me very tired. The next morning I woke up and Eggman was there and had kidnapped Cosmo. I had to go rescue her alone. Everyone else was busy with the city being under attack. When I got inside I found a large group of chaos. Cheese was one of them inside. When I managed to free them all of them left except 2 chaos didn't want to leave. They told me they had no owners and that they were siblings. I decided t adopt them since I always liked chaos. I named the yellow and white stomach Cham and the yellow with a dark stomach Chan. They helped me save Cosmo. Then I flew to your house to give back Cheese to you and Cosmo wanted to see you again." Tails finished the explanation

"Wow, so these are the legendary Chaos Swords." She said pointing at them. "What makes them so special?" she asked

"There much stronger then normal swords and come outside and I'll show you what they can do." Tails said

They all walked outside.

"Ok the first thing you'll noticed about the swords is that there going to glow." He said

He took out the Chaos Swords and they began to glow. In seconds the swords were in fire by chaos energy.

"I'm going to use an attack called Chaos Wave on that rock over there." He said pointing to a large bolder.

"Are you sure you can break it without hurting yourself?" cream asked

"Don't worry I know what I am doing." He replied

His swords began to glow brighter and with a quick swing energy came out

"CHAOS WAVE!" he yelled the blast got larger and faster turning the rock in rubble.

"Wow Tails that was amazing!" cream said

"Oh um thanks" He replied

"Anyways Cream its getting late so I'll be seeing you later. He said to cream "Oh Cosmo if you want you can stay here at Creams house."

"It's ok I'm a little tired lets go to your house instead." She replied

"Fine by me. Hey Cham and Chan we are leaving. Hey Cream we'll see you later." Tails waved at Cream

"Bye Tails and Cosmo hope to see you soon!" She replied

"I'm glad that Cosmo is alive" Cream told Cheese

"Chao" he replied

"Its funny how attach to Tails she is" Cream said chuckling

"Chao chao" Cheese replied

"We better go inside"

Tails and Cosmo were heading towards his house.

"So why didn't you want to stay at Creams house? I mean I know you were lying about that." Tails asked

"Well to tell you the truth I wanted to be with you." She replied blushing

"I also wanted to be with you." Tails replied

They were reaching Tail's house when Cosmos asked "Hey what happen Sonic anyways?"

"Well when I was inside of Eggman's base I deactivated the entire army even the ones in the city. So he's probably just at his house or looking for me." Tails replied

"You're lucky to have someone always looking out for you."

"Sonic and the rest have been like family to me. I lost my parents a long time ago. I had a weird dream last night. I dreamt that Eggman had attacked my house but I was younger. I was 4 years old and my parents were still alive. When he killed my mom I transformed into my super for but then I also transformed into another form. I think it was called hyper form. The Chaos Swords also appeared. It was a dream but it felt so real, as it happened. I think I think dreamt that because I was surprised that the Chaps Swords chose me"

"Wow that was a strange dream." The 8th Emerald is trying to show him how his parents died. That must be why he can't remember about his transformation, Cosmo thought

"Are you ok? Tails asked

"Huh… yea I'm fine." She replied

They arrived at Tail's House and saw Sonic waiting for them at the door.

"Hey what took you so long I was about to go looking for you." Sonic said

"Sorry about that. It was a little harder then I though." Tails replied

"Hey, what with the 2 Chaos?" Sonic asked

"You mean Cham and Chan. They belong to me. I rescued them from Eggman's base when I went to rescue Cosmo. I also found Cheese there." Tails was beginning to get annoyed having to explain over and over again.

"Well looks like you had fun." Sonic said

"What about the city was it in bad shape?" Tails asked

"Not that bad. When I was destroying the robots they all turned off."

"Oh that was me. I had to disable Eggman's army so it can be easier to save Cosmo."

"Well anyways you must be tired I'll be leaving now." Sonic left after saying that.

"Wait were did you sleep last night?" Tails asked Cosmo

"Oh on the couch." She replied

"You should have wakened me up I would have made you a bed."

"Oh that doesn't matter"

"Come you can use the spare bed I have for when Sonic sleeps at my house."

"Oh thank you." she said smiling"

Tails showed her to her room. He then went into his room and fell asleep.

The days went by with no sign of Eggman or the Metarex. The only thing was that every night Tails had the same dream of his parents and Eggman killing them.

Tails was eating breakfast with Cosmo.

"Hey Cosmo I think this dream is trying to tell me something. I've been having it for four days straight." Tails said

"I think you should ask Eggman about next time he douse an attack. Douse Sonic and the others know about this?" she asked

They heard noises coming from the room next door. It sounded like fighting.

"Oh great Cham and Chan are at it again. Why can't those 2 get along?" He asked

"Well there brothers what do you expect" Cosmo replied

They both entered the room to see what they were fighting over and to Tails horror they had his BB gun.

"Hey let go of that your going to get hurt." He said grabbing the gun. "Come on let it go… OUCH!" They had shot him in the forehead with the gun. The Chaos knew that they were in trouble and began to fly around the house as fast as they could.

"Tails are you ok?" Cosmo asked

"Yea I'm fine. My head hurts a little. When I get a hold of those 2, there in big trouble."

Tails began chasing the tow Chaos. Cosmo decided to help catch them. They finally got them.

"Both of you never touch that again you got it. Man that really hurt." Tails said

"Chao chao chao chao." They both said in union.

Tails and Cosmo both returned to finish their breakfast. Tails went and turned on the T.V to see how the weather was going to be today.

"It's going to be partly cloudy with a 50 chance of rain" The anchor man said

"Breaking news Eggman has just sent an entire army against Station Square the police can't do much against the army." The news reporter began talking then the signal went away.

"Great now I can ask the doctor if he knows anything about this dream." Tails was going to use the 7 Chaos Emeralds. From what he saw the army was huge. He also got the Chaos Swords.

"I'm also coming." Cosmo said to Tails

"You sure? This is going to get dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt."

"I know I can fly the X Tornado to help you fight those robots."

"Fine you can come but please be careful. Cham Chan I know you 2 can fight against those robots. If you come and help me I'll forgive you for shooting me." Tails calling for the Chaos

Cham and Chan came in a hurry and got on top of Tails. "Chaooooooooooooooo" they both screamed in union.

"Cosmo I want you fly the X Tornado and take me to the city and help me destroy the robots. Sonic and I will go into our super form to destroy them faster." Tails said to Cosmo

"Okay, but how are you going to go into your super form if I need a Chaos Emerald to power the plain." she replied

"Use this gem. It's like a Chaos Emerald but a little weaker. Still should give the plain its full power." Tails said handing her a red gem.

Tails got in the back seat while Cosmo got in the front. He felt weird sitting in the back seat but Cosmo flew the plain really good. They were above the city.

"Cosmo I'm getting off right now be careful" Tails said jumping off the plain with his swords in his hands. Cham and Chan followed him.

"You too" She replied

Tails landed only to see he was surrounded by Eggman's robots. He dashed around slicing right through them and avoiding their laser. He didn't know how long he can keep destroying them but Cosmo was helping him out the most she can. Cham and Chan were also doing well.

"Man there is a lot of them. Eggman really did out work himself this time." Tails said to himself

He noticed that there was some explosions coming from some were near by. He kept destroying the robots and heading towards the explosion. He saw Sonic destroying some robots.

"Hey Sonic come here." Tails called at him

Sonic came to him destroying as many robots as he can. "Hey I though you wouldn't come."

"Look what I brought." He took out the 7 Chaos Emeralds.

"Nice job this should make this easier."

The Emeralds started spinning around them both and with a flash they both transformed into their super form.

"Let's go!" Sonic said to Tails

"Right behind you!" He replied

They both were destroying robots much faster.

"Man there's too many of them." Tails said destroying a group of robots with Chaos Wave.

"Can't you deactivate from Eggman's base?" Sonic asked

"I could but I have no idea were it is. How about we split up and try to find him."

"Good idea" Sonic said

They both went in different directions destroying every robot in their way.

Cosmo saw in the Center of the city a giant robot. Inside Dr. Eggman was piloting the giant walker. The walker began to shoot the plain. Cosmo was doing the best she could to avoid it but it was shooting faster every time.

Tails saw the X Tornado getting fired at by large cannon. He flew as fast as he could to get there but more robots kept getting in the way. The laser hit the plain on one of the wings.

Cosmo hit her head against the controls and got knocked out.

Tails saw the plain got hit and was beginning to loose altitude. He flew on top of the plain and saw Cosmo was knocked out. He forced open the cockpit and grabbed her. He flew out right before the plain crashed. He landed inside a building that was empty.

"Cosmo are you ok?" He asked landing

Cosmo woke up and saw Tails carrying her. "Yea I'm fine. My head hurts a little but I'm fine." She replied

"You stay here I'm going to get Eggman for what he did! Cham and Chan come here and protect Cosmo." Tails said leaving

"Please be careful!" She yelled at him.

Tails was rushing destroying robots on his way to the walker. The walker was surrounded by robots but Tails did a Chaos Wave and destroyed them all.

Eggman was surprised to see Tail's new power. No matter how many robots went after him, he destroyed them like nothing. His speed was faster then ever and the swords made him a deadly foe.

"Well Eggman I've wanted to ask you something." Tails said destroying the last robot.

"What would that be?" he replied getting all of the weapons on the walker to fire.

"Do you know anything about my parents or how they died?" He asked

"Don't you remember what happen that night I went to your house?"

"No I don't." he replied

"Let me refresh your memory. I killed them when they didn't give me the 7 Chaos Emeralds and all research on the 8th Emerald. You used the power of the Emeralds try to stop me but you were no match for me!" He said laughing

Tails was shocked at what he heard. It was like the dream. So that dream was a memory of the past. If it was true then he was able to transform again somehow.

Tails gave a low growl "YOU KILLED MY PARENTS AND YOU'RE LAUGHING ABOUT IT! YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME EGGMAN! He was beginning to glow.

"Oh no, not this again; I need to stop him before he finishes transforming. Fire all weapons!" The walker fired every gun it had at Tails. There was a huge explosion.

The smoke began to clear and Tails was there in his hyper form. This time he had full control of the power and his appearance was different. His eyes were still a very dark blue but his tails were longer. He was a little taller.

The Chaos Swords were much larger and the energy was rushing all around them.

Tails looked at Eggman's walker "Now I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my parents and for hurting Cosmo!" He said dashing towards the walker.

"Let's see what you can do then" The walker took out a sword and swung it at Tails. Tails swung his swords and broke right through Eggman's swords.

"Is that the best you got Eggman?"

"You wish. All weapons fire now!"

Tails flew in the air dodging all the bullets and missiles.

"This ends now!" Tails said dashing at Eggman. His swords were beginning to shine. Tails was going so fast that he left after images of himself.

"Chaos Sword Dash" He yelled. He slashed right through Eggman's walker back and fourth over and over again. "Now to finish it; Chaos Smash!" He jumped into the air both of the swords turned into one giant sword and sliced right through the middle of Eggman's walker. The walker exploded sending Eggman flying.

"You'll pay for this!" He said while being blown away.

Tails landed surprised about his power but he didn't know were he got it from. All the robots that weren't destroyed were deactivated. He saw Sonic looking at him surprised.

"Tails were did you get that power from."

Tails had returned to normal and the swords also returned to normal. "I don't know."

"Didn't Eggman say something about an 8th Chaos Emerald that your parents did research on? You don't suppose that you some how you got the power from it." Sonic asked

"That's only a myth. It's not real." Tails answered back

"What if it's real, I'm sure your parents did have some research?"

"Now that you mention it I do remember something about that. I think I still remembered were my house used to be. I'll go check it out and see if I find anything tomorrow."

Tail's old house was in the Great Forest.

"Well good luck with that. I'm going to go get some rest see ya Tails." He left

Cosmo was walking towards Tails. "Tails that power, do you know were it came from?" she asked him

"No I don't but I think it has something to do with the 8th Chaos Emerald. Eggman said that my parents were doing some research on it and in my dream Eggman douse mention it."

"Maybe your right you should check more into that." He's going to figure out the truth soon, Cosmo though

"I'm going to go were my house was last time. Do you want to come?" He asked

"Yes, I also want to know about the 8th Chaos Emerald. I heard its stronger then all 7 Chaos Emeralds combined."

"That must be a strong gem. Lets go back home. We will go to the area tomorrow. Were going to have to walk since my plain got destroyed."

"Oh I'm sorry about that I tried my best to avoid the laser but I couldn't do it." Cosmo began to feel guilty about destroying Tail's plain.

"Don't worry I'll build a new one."

"Ok I'm still sorry I destroyed your plain."

"Let's head home now."

Tails picked Cosmo up and began to fly towards his house. Cham and Chan were following him while they sang. They arrived at his house and went to bed after that. The only thing that Tails could think about was the 8th Emerald. He fell asleep knowing that tomorrow he would find the answer to his power or be left in more questions.
