The Tall Tale Of Tails

Soon Nephrite was about to set out on a new errand as he stared at his celestial map again.

"Maybe I shall have another success with collecting energy." he said "Taurus's horn shall show me the way to the next person of strong energy."

"Now now!" Zoisite said, appearing in his rain of rose petals. "Dr. Eggman has a special request that you allow him to come and take Sailor Moon again!"

"Get off my back!" Nephrite demanded. "I have the Eggman call button, I can handle this!"

"I hope so." Zoisite said. "that last success was much pure luck."

"SHUT UP!" Nephrite shouted and Zoisite left.

Nephrite continued to look at the map again and it pointed out a little girl feeding animals in the wild.

"Ah perfect!" Nephrite said with glee.

Back at the forest Sonic and Tails were resting again.

"Tails." Sonic called. "I gotta go out and search for the fifth chaos emerald, I'm leaving you in charge of things while I'm gone."

"Gotcha!" Tails agreed, Sonic revved up and he sped off into the trees. "Well I guess I shall go see how the Plane is doing" Tails walked inside and checked it.

Back in the city there was a small girl in a light pink skirt with a red shirt, red hair with blue eyes, who was the girl that Nephrite saw was sitting on a park bench feeding birds. She threw seed to directions on the ground but only two birds were eating it.

"Oh how cute!" Serena said, walking down the sidewalk on her way back from school she was grieving for Molly who was still recuperating from her attack, she saw how cute the girl looked giving seed to birds, it made her feel a little better.

"Please get better soon Molly." she frowned. And she continued home.

"Strange." The girl said, feeling puzzled. "The birds just aren't eating as much today."l

"Maybe I can help you there!" Nephrite said, coming from up the sidewalk. "You must be young Mia, Larson I'm Maxfield Stanton."

"How do you know my name?" She asked.

"Never mind that." Nephrite said. "Here" he handed her a bag of seed, and as usual the bag was cursed to have a monster hidden within.

"With this you will feed not just birds but many animals, and they will eat what you have to give, or you will make them eat it!" He thought

Nephrite then walked up the sidewalk with a smirk on his face.

"Thanks mister!" Mia called to him and she grabbed some of the seed and it began to work it's magic on her, she grew a mean look on her face, she took a large handful of the seed and she threw it harshly at the birds.

"Geez that was mean!" A man said who witnessed it.

Back at the Forest Tails had just come out of the workshop covered in grease and engine oil.

"Well." Tails said, dusting off his hands. "That was a little fun even though it only took one hour. I had better go to the waters and wash up." Tails left and wandered towards a river nearby.

Back at the park some people were watching Mia's harsh actions towards the birds and squirrels, a bird whizzed by her head and she caught it mid flight, the people gasped at her reflexes, then were disgusted at what she did next.

"Eat up!" And she squeezed the bird to open its mouth and shoved the seed down it, the missing seed was magically replaced with more seed. The bird flew off in pain. She then looked at the bystanders with shocked looks on their faces. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" She shouted and they all scattered like exposed cockroaches.

Serena was sitting in the kitchen eating snacks, father watching the news and the girl just came on.

"What an insane girl!" Father said Serena came in to see what was happening.

"There was a big animal cruelty situation happening today," The anchor the screen said, the shifted to Mia squirming in policeman's arms. "This girl, identified as Mia Larson, was seen violently force-feeding animals in the park today yelling at anybody looking or asking her to stop."

"UNHAND ME YOU STUPID POLICE!" Mia screamed struggling. "I NEED TO KEEP FEEDING ANIMALS!"

"It's hard to watch, I know!" The anchor said. "And now the weather."

"How horrible!" Serena said biting into her mother's famous lemon cake.

Then the police were driving Mia home she was causing all kinds of trouble screaming and throwing her hand and fist about.

"I can't wait to get rid of this crazy kid!" One policeman said.

Later they arrived at her house and the police struggled to get her to her front door and her mother answered the door, she heard the screams and immediately answered the door without a door knock or a ring of the doorbell.

"We have your child Mrs. Larson." A policeman said, Mia's mother looked shocked at what just happened.

"Thank you officers." Mrs. Larson said, they let Mia back inside the house and she finally calmed down.

"What's wrong dear?" Mrs. Larson asked. "You never acted so cruel towards animals, they would normally flock towards you because they love you!"

"Don't patronize me!" Mia snapped at her mother "I must feed them, and feed them some more!"

"Yes, but please go back to your room and rest, you can go back to feeding them tomorrow." Mrs. Larson kind of lightly pushed her daughter to her room and put her to bed. She walked out the door and locked it to keep her inside, she was afraid of what she would do.

Back at Serena's house Serena walked to her room and sat on the bed slightly stunned. Luna was sitting on her desk and noticed the look on her face.

"What is it?" Luna asked.

"There was a news flash that talked about a little girl abusing animals, she looked so sweet and innocent, how could she do such a thing?" Serena asked with slight depression in her voice.

"Well you should judge based on appearances." Luna said. "But maybe the Nephrite could be behind this!"

"Maybe." Serena sighed.

Two hours later back at Mia's house Mrs. Larson returned to her room there was absolutely no noise coming from her room she brought her tea to help sooth her voice from all the yelling.

"Mia dear." Mrs. Larson said softly. "I brought you some.." she opened the door and she was gone, she dropped the cup of tea and she screamed, she looked around and she saw the window was open and figured that she ran out.

She was running through alleyways to get to the city border.

"I need to feed more animals." Mia thought. "I know just where to go, the forest that's miles away."

Serena went to the Hikawa shrine, she and Rei called Ami and they discussed what just happened.

"This does sound like the Dark Kingdom." Ami said.

"Let's go to her house." Rei said.

"Thanks to the news, and a phone book we know where that is!" Serena said. Within a few minutes they arrived at her house but there was a police car at the house they hid behind the corner at the neighbor's fence. The police walked out with Mrs. Larson whose eyes were full of tears.

"Thank you." One police officer said. "If you hear from her let us know."

"Please find my child!" Mrs. Larson sobbed.

"That's not good." Serena said.

"I should go home and get the chaos emerald." Rei said and she hurried back to the shrine.

"We should think carefully." Ami said. "We have no idea where she is!"

Back at the workshop Tails was done cleaning himself at the river.

"That felt good." Tails sighed in relief and he was going to go back when he heard strange noises coming from the southeast.

He wandered towards that direction and he saw Mia strangling a deer and forcing food down it's throat.

"That's so inhuman!" Tails said. "I got to do something!" And he rushed towards Mia. "What are you doing?"

"Good another animal for me to feed!" She tried to grab Tails but he flew up out of her reach.

"What's wrong with you?" Tails asked.

Back at Nephrite's church.

"Her energy has peaked!" He shouted "Go Taurus the bull!"

Then a big red colored bull appeared out of Mia and drained her energy.

"Dark Kingdom!" Tails shouted. "I should have known, a bull, that explains the wild, brute, and crazy attitude. Sonic isn't here yet, I guess I'll take this one!"

Nephrite then pushed the Eggman call button. He laughed as he stared at his spherical energy he just acquired.

Taurus blew smoke out his nose and he charged at Tails and he flew upward to avoid getting gored.

"I got to get her out of here!" Tails said, he picked up Mia's body and flew her to rest in the leaves of a high tree.

"Come on bully!" Tails taunted and Taurus charged at him again and this time he charged so fast and so hard he broke through trees.

"Wow!" Tails said, gapping at the broken trees. "Glad that didn't hit me."

Back at the city, the girls were together again. They were walking down through the city square, and they heard strange hovering noises nearby and they turned their heads and they saw Eggman hovering in his Eggomatic. People nearby who saw him decided to turn to run.

"Oh great not again!" Ami said.

"So where are those Sailors?" Eggman said checking his radar on his Eggomatic, "with this radiant power of yours you can be so easily tracked."

"Guess we have no choice." Rei said. "Let's transform!"

"Moon Prism Power Make Up!"

"Mars Power Make Up"!

"Mercury Power Make Up!"

"Where could they be?" Eggman said, getting anxious.

"Right here!" Sailor Moon called. "Trying to capture us?"

"We won't let you!" Sailor Mercury shouted.

"We can beat you without Sonic!" Sailor Mars said.

"In the name of the Moon I will punish you!" Sailor Moon said.

"Hello again!" The mad scientist said. "I guess just fighting queen Beryl is too easy for you!" Mocked Dr. Eggman, "I just want to see my friends the Sailors. I understand that you have met my mercenary Knuckles."

"You tricked him!" Sailor Mercury accused.

"Of course!" Dr. Eggman said. "He is so easily tricked, soon he will serve me too well for his own good. Without further ado say hello to my servant." Then a huge robot caterpillar crawled through the alleyways like before the police were too scared to stop the huge robot. "This is one of my fiercest robots Caterkiller!" Like with buzzbomber this robot was much bigger than the ordinary ones that Sonic would fight. "Try to kill him if you dare. Attack!" Caterkiller crawled towards the Sailor Scouts and lunged for a bite. The girls got out of the way and used their attacks.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

"Bubble Spray!"

"Fire Soul!"

They tried the combined tiara attack but it failed. We need the chaos emerald now more than ever cried! Sailor Moon. Rei took out the emerald and they all touched it, they all gained power and they tried their attacks again, but they failed.

"WHAAAAAAT!" Sailor Moon panicked. "What? why isn't it working!"

"Elementary!" Eggman said. "You see this is one robot who is reinforced with hard armor and interior grinds even with one chaos emerald you cannot beat me! You were even too weak to stop me to begin with."

"What will we do?" Sailor Mercury said in a defeated tone. "We can't beat him!"

Meanwhile Tails was still trying to come up with a way to beat Taurus while avoiding getting trampled.

"Come on Tails think!" He nagged at himself flying upward again. "I know! What would Sonic do?" He began to hover in midair thinking what Sonic would do. "This is a crazy beast that likes to charge head on," thought Tails and run out of control, "I guess Sonic would charge at him and try to beat him at his own game."

Tails landed and charged up his own super speed dash, Taurus turned and charged at Tails, Tails let loose his attack and he struck Taurus between the eyes in the head. Taurus moaned loudly in pain and fell over and Tail landed on his backside dizzy.

"Woah" Tails said with his head spinning. "That kind of hurt! How does Sonic do this?" He shook his head and regained himself. And took his opportunity to perform another super speed dash and finish off Taurus, who burst into nothing.

Meanwhile Nephrite lost the energy.

"What!" Nephrite screamed. "That little brat furball has beaten me! Impossible!"

Back at the fight with Eggman the Sailors dodged many of Caterkiller's attacks but they tried so desperately hard to find a way to beat him.

"Time to end this!" Eggman said and got ready to push a button on his control panel but a red rose shot at Eggman's hand, it didn't hit him but it did stop him. They all looked at a nearby rooftop and saw Tuxedo Mask standing on it.

"Tuxedo Mask!" Sailor Moon cheered.

"So." Dr. Eggman said looking up. "You're Tuxedo Mask, Beryl told me all about you, glad we finally meet on the field of battle, you can serve me just as well as your Sailor friends will."

"Don't give up Sailors!" Tuxedo Mask said triumphantly. "I have this!" He then pulled out the chaos emerald he got from Knuckles and leaped down to the Sailors. "Here, touch it!" The sailors touched the chaos emerald and received its power.

"Finally!" Dr. Eggman said happily. "My lucky day three sailors, one pretty boy warrior, and two chaos emeralds. Get them Caterkiller!"

But the sailors used their attacks again.

"Moon Tiara Action!"

"Bubble Spray!"

"Fire Soul!"

The power of the two Chaos emeralds allowed the attacks to rip through Caterkiller like tissue.

"What? How could I have not planned for this?" Eggman screamed. He turned around, and started to fly away. "You'll regret this! I'll be back!"

"We did it!" Sailor Moon cheered as they looked for Tuxedo Mask but he was gone.

"Thank goodness he was here when we needed him." Sailor Mars said. "Otherwise we may be full of wires and circuits by now."

Back at the forest Tails was drinking water from the river and he heard clapping approaching him he turned to see Sonic congratulating him.

"You saw everything?" Tails asked, stunned.

"Not really!" Sonic said. "I was only able to catch you thinking like me and finishing off that monster, I gotta say that is what I would do! I'm really proud of you."

"Thanks Sonic!" Tails said and he started to wobble. "Woah, I must still be feeling the effects of crashing into that monster's head."

"You should go back and get some rest!" Sonic advised, leaping up in the trees and picking up Mia. "I'll take the girl back."

"Thanks." Tails said as he began to fly back home.

Sonic saw a cloud of smoke coming from the city and decided to rush to it. He met up with the Sailors there.

"Wow!" He said looking around. "Looks like you've seen some action!"

"Yeah Tuxedo Mask and we three took down Eggman." Sailor Mercury said.

"Great work!" Sonic said, giving them a thumbs up. "Anyways does this girl mean anything to you?" And he showed them Mia on his back.

"That's the missing girl!" Sailor Moon gasped. "Come on!" And she took her and ran her up to her front door, and rang the doorbell and ran away. Mrs. Larson answered it and she cried to see her daughter's return. Mia regained consciousness.

"Mommy?" She asked. "What happened? I don't remember anything that happened today."

"It's ok." Mrs. Larson cried, hugging her daughter "You were just having a bad dream."

"That's a pretty sight." Sailor Mars smiled with the others watching from around the corner. "But one thing doesn't add up."

"What?" Sailor Moon asked.

"If Nephrite was behind this." Sailor Mars pondered. "Then who destroyed the monster and saved her?"

Sonic began to snicker.

"Do you know something?" Sailor Mercury asked.

"I think you should save your thanks for Tails!" Sonic said.
