Chapter One: We Must Act Now

Tails struggled, but finally was able to stand after that impact with the cannon hitting him in the stomach. But he then dropped to all fours, and pounded the ground in anger.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck! How did I let this happen?! Why did I have to be so weak, and not save her when I needed to?!" Tails yelled in anger.

Suddenly from a distance, he saw a blue streak making its way towards him. He knew who that was, and the blue blur finally made his way towards Tails. It was the hero of Mobius, Sonic The Hedgehog. He kneels down to help Tails.

"Tails, you OK, Bro?" Sonic asked with worry.

"They took her, Sonic! It took her!" Tails panicked.

"Tails, just calm down! Just calm down, and explain what happened here?" Sonic asked him.

Tails breathed heavily, and then slowly and felt calmer to talk.

"Alright, I was here, I met Cream here, we had a long discussion about stuff. And this ship, who I don't know who it belongs to by the way, came in, ambushed me, and captured Cream! And because the impact of what harmed me, I was too weak, and I couldn't save her, I don't even know what or who it was that took her!" Tails stated with guilt.

"Did you say a ship?!" Sonic asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I did. Why?" Tails wondered.

"Well, that ship also captured Amy, and I was actually chasing it down to try and rescue her. But that thing wasn't just too fast, but it disappeared as well." Sonic explained.

"How did you know it captured Amy?" Tails asked.

"I was running round Mobius, and then I heard screaming. I looked up, it was a beam of light that took Amy, it was her voice, and I saw that it was her. So I tried chasing it down, but man, it was fast! Saw another beam fire, and it disappeared." Sonic explained.

"I missed the beam, I was woozy. Did you happen to know what colour it was?" Tails asked.

"It was like a mix of purple, red, and black, I believe." Sonic thought.

Tails then gasped in surprise.

"Sonic, you don't suppose it could be..." Tails cut himself off.

"Who?!" Sonic wondered.

"Infinite?!" Tails feared. Sonic gasped.

"He's returned! I knew the patterns on that beam looked familiar! Those are the colours of Infinite!" Sonic feared.

"But why would he capture Amy and Cream?" Tails wondered.

"Beats me." Sonic responded.

"Well, I am not gonna sit here, and find out! We need to look for him, and put a stop to him!" Tails snarled.

"Tails, no! We don't even know what we are dealing with here! He has probably gotten stronger from the last time we saw him." Sonic pleaded.

"Sonic, you are meant to be the hero of Mobius, and you're just gonna sit there and let this happen?!" Tails snarled again.

"Being the hero of Mobius isn't that simple. Even I need to think of a strategy."

(Sonic singing)

It ain't a prison, nor a demon, and not a sin

No, that's a state of mind I find myself in

It ain't a dream, no, it's as real as this gets

And no, I ain't lost, I just lose myself, I guess

.

Sonic then looks into the horizon where the ocean is.

.

(Sonic singing)

When the sky goes too dark

When the water raises deep

When I feed the fire too much, even I can't even take the heat

If I even run too far

And when those pieces come unglued

The mess of me shall always need the best in you

Rescue

.

Sonic then turns to face Tails.

"But if you are sure about acting now, we better act fast now, or Infinite will get away with this." Sonic smiles.

Tails gasps in fear though.

"But that is the problem, I am not as strong as you. I am weak." Tails stated sadly, as he walks towards the Tornado.

.

(Tails singing)

During all the highs and lows

The can't undo's I've regretted the most

The wall's so hard, feels like I can't go through

Rescue

Every moment by your side

A single look at you sometimes

You don't even know what you're coming to

The rescue

.

Sonic then walks towards Tails, and places a hand on his shoulder.

"You are not weak at all, Tails. You acted more brave than me at this scenario. You wanted to act first, while I wanted a different strat. Shows who is stronger between us two." Sonic stated with a smile.

Tails smiled back, and he jumps into the Tornado, and starts the engine.

"I'll also alert Knuckles and Shadow. I've got signal fires for the both of them installed, and they will know that I asked for their help." Tails told him.

He then set off the flares to alert them. One signal formed into the shape of the Master Emerald, and the other formed into the shape of the Space Colony Ark.

.

(Tails singing)

Light a flare up to the eye of the storm

I'll send a prayer up in a bottle to the shore

But there are no words for what I'm looking for

What I mean is that I've needed you more

.

Tails then starts the engine of the Tornado, and the engine revs up, and the propellers started spinning.

.

(Tails singing)

When the sky goes too dark

When the water raises deep

When I feed the fire too much, even I can't even take the heat

If I even run too far

And when those pieces come unglued

The mess of me shall always need the best in you

Rescue

.

Sonic then makes his way to the Tornado, and jumps on top of it. The Tornado moves forwards slightly.

.

(Sonic singing)

During all the highs and lows

The can't undo's I've regretted the most

The wall's so hard, feels like I can't go through

Rescue

Every moment by your side

A single look at you sometimes

You don't even know what you're coming to

To the rescue, yeah!

.

The Tornado then builds up speed, and it then it launches itself into the air, flying through the skies.

"We will rescue them, Tails. Count on it!" Sonic told him with confidence.

Tails just smiles, but he was still hoping Sonic was right about him being strong.

.

(Sonic singing)

Oh!

(Sonic and Tails singing)

If I even run too far

And when those pieces come unglued

The mess of me shall always need the best in you

Rescue

.

During all the highs and lows

The can't undo's I've regretted the most

The wall's so hard, feels like I can't go through

Rescue

Every moment by your side

A single look at you sometimes

You don't even know what you're coming to

The rescue

.

Yeah, hm

The rescue

Hm

Oh, my rescue

Hm, rescue

.

After that, they continued flying towards their destination, wherever that may be.
