'Is he ok?'

'He got blasted pretty hard'

'That's a pretty bad mark on his back'

'Where did he come from?'

Voices.. All of them just echoed through my head. I Slowly began to wake up, looking around in silence. It hurt to sit up, but I still tried. I could see a couple people in the room, or ..whatever we were in. But, couldn't quite make out who they were. One was a pink hedgehog, different from Amy Rose of course. The other was a green hedgehog. The two seemed to just be arguing between each other about something. I made a small noise while sitting up more, and that caught the girls attention.

"Oh- He's awake!" She approached me quickly and took a soothing tone. "Shh, lay down. Don't try to move right now. You got hit pretty badly."

"Yea man. I'm glad you didn't get any worse honestly. Sleet and Dingo really had it out for ya for some reason." The green one would comment, spinning a drum stick in his hand.

I was just confused. "Sleet.? Dingo?" I asked, before remembering running into those two weirdos before. I guess I made it out alive. These guys seemed to be the reason for that.

"I should go tell Sonic he's awake. He'll want to know why they were after you." The girl would finally say, catching my attention rather quickly.

"Sonic?! He's here?! Where is he? I need to see him-!" I felt the hand of the green hedgehog hold me back since I didn't even realize I was about to sit all the way up again. The two exchanged a confused look before the girl went to fetch Sonic.

To fill the now silence that hung in the air, the boy decided to talk to me more. "So, what's your name?"

"Tails." I answered, not really wanting to give my real name. I hated my real name. He would just nod his head and think carefully as he stared me down. A small gulp managed to get through my throat. I think he had more questions. But before he could ask, I saw the girl come back in with a blue hedgehog following her. I almost called out for him, but catching a better glimpse at him, I could tell, it wasn't my sonic.

He approached me and knelt down. "So, they tell me that you seemed to know me. But. I don't know you. Care to tell me what you were doing out there, kid? And what's going on? It's dangerous. Last thing we need to hear about is a kid getting turned into a mindless robot."

Mindless robot?! God, guess maybe some of Stick's theories are true in some universes. I took in a deep breath and would begin explaining myself. "I am Miles Prower.. But my friends usually call me Tails. I honestly don't know how I got here. Last thing I remember before ending up in this city was fighting alongside my friends.. Amy Rose. Knuckles, Sticks and.. Sonic. It was on our Island. We were battling Eggmans latest robot. I remember flying in my plane-"

"Wait. Hold on. You just mentioned Sonic again. And who is Eggman? Also, how old are you exactly?" The girl would shoot out a lot of questions until Sonic held up his hand to tell her to stop. "Give him a moment Sonia, he's getting to those parts."

I took in a deep breath and would continue. "I can only assume something that either Dr. Eggmans robot did or some other force had a part to play with ripping open a dimensional portal. It's the only explanation. And since the universe hasn't exploded yet, I can only assume there isn't another me in this universe." I would sit myself up again this time and brush off anyone that stopped me. I needed to think.

"There were a couple times where we dealt with interdimensional travel. Usually it involved Sonic, or Knuckles or Eggman so I don't know why I wound up here. There has to be a reason for it. Or it's all an accident. Which is reasonable as well. If I could build another portal though-" Honestly I started just trailing off and forgetting I was talking to them. I think one of them also noticed my two tails because I soon heard a question about that.

"Excuse me, Tails. My dude. So, I take it that's why you got that nickname?" The green guy would break my train of thought and turn my focus on him. "Also, interdimensional travel is a tall order. You would need to be a genius to figure that out."

I shot a look at him, mostly at his comments about how to get back home. Thankfully they seemed to believe me. Guess it wasn't too far fetched for them. "I may be 8 years old, but I can build almost anything and fly almost anything. Just try me." I would answer with confidence. "I built lots of machines, including a transporter… umm.. Granted I messed up and got fused with a robot temporarily. But Eggman reversed it.'

"Alright alright, so let's say all the stuff is true and I believe you. Little dude, you know this stuff will take a while to build, let alone finish. Not to mention you keep going off the rails in your responses to us and trailing off into nothing. You're still not feeling one hundred percent. So. Let's do this. You stick with us. We can make sure you recover and maybe you can help us out with a few missions."

"Sonic-" Sonia would try to tell him. I think she might have been concerned. But, I'm not sure if it was for a reason that she thought I would hinder them at all.

"It's alright Sonia. The kid said it himself. He's capable, not to mention, I think flying could be a really good addition to our crew. So, what do you say, would you like to join the Sonic Underground?" He held out his hand to me.

I stared down at his hand and then shook it. "Yes- and I promise I'll try to rest and not do much until you guys give the ok." I hated resting. No work got done. But, if it helped put them at ease, then I'd do it.
