Chapter 2: How Sonic and Eve Meet Tails
Three years ago in the Wood Zone, Sonic and Eve are running through the forest to find a few things for Sally and the others. During the time and with the Freedom Fighters, Eve is wearing a black shirt and a black vest that has red and blue zig zag markings on the side and elbow length sleeves, and still has the headband. They try to find things to grow food and parts for Rotor's machines. They stop at one of the clearings and look around.
"Have you find anything useful?" Sonic asks.
"Not yet, but I did find some fruits and vegetables for seed. This will be enough for Sally and Sonia to grows a garden," Eve says.
"Well we do need food while living in Knothole," Sonic says.
Sonic sighs, "But we still haven't found the parts Rotor need for his machine."
"And he said it will be a crucial piece to help sneak into Robotnik's lab," Eve says.
Suddenly, they hear someone shout, "No stop!"
The two hedgehogs turn their heads to see the source of the voice.
"What was that?" Sonic asks.
Eve points to the bushes, "It came from over there."
Sonic and Eve quietly sneak to the bushes and move them a little. They both gasp to see the dog mobian boys and a young gold yellow and white fur fox. What's different about the little fox, is that he has two tails instead of one.
"What are those guys doing?" Sonic asks.
Eve shushes, "Shhh. Let's see find out."
Taking a closer look, they see two of them grabbing each of the fox boy's arm, and the other is holding a stick. He then place what looks like a small machine on a rock.
The fox struggles to break free, "No! Give it back! Please!"
Sonic and Eve realize that those Mobian dogs are bullying the mobian fox, and one is going to smash the machine in front of him. Sonic and Eve decide that they can't sit and let this happen.
The Mobian boy is about to smash the machine with the stick, but is grab on to by a glove with gold wristband. The boy flinch in shock. The two dogs and the fox are shocked as well. They see Eve, the black and red hedgehog holding on to the stick.
Eve sternly glares at the Mobian dog, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Yeah. That is way beyond cool, and not in a good way," Sonic says, picking up the machine from the rock.
"Yeah. Pick on someone your own size," Eve says, taking the stick and breaking it in half with her knee.
The red Mobian dog says, "Aww who need this anyway. Let's go guys."
"Yeah," The others says, and push the fox to the ground.
Then the three run away in a huff.
Eve helps the fox up, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. Thanks for the save there," The boy says.
"It's no problem," Eve says.
Sonic zooms to the boy with the machine, "So what's this supposed to be?"
"Oh, It's a metal controller that is also a container for my invention," The boy says.
"Invention you say. You made this?" Sonic asks.
"Um yeah, but some of the kids keep making fun of me," The fox sadly says.
Eve reassures, "Well, you don't need to worry about anything. You're among friends now, and we actually knew a few inventions like you."
"Really?" The fox asks.
"Really," Eve says.
The fox giggles with a smile.
"Now that is settle, how about introductions. I'm Sonic and this is my sister, Eve. What's your name squirt," Sonic says.
"Promise not to laugh. My name is Miles Prower's," The fox says.
"Miles?" Sonic asks.
"Yeah. It's kind of embarrassing," Miles answers.
"I think it's kind of cute," Eve says with a giggle, making miles blush a little.
Eve looks at Miles' tails, "You know, I never seen a fox with two tails before. It's pretty unique."
"You wanna see what I can do with them," Miles says.
"Sure," Sonic answers.
Miles twirls his tails together and they begin spinning like a propeller. Then he begins to fly in the air. Sonic and Eve are amazed by what they're seeing.
"Wow! You can fly too," Sonic says with excitement.
"Yeah. I've always been able to do that," Miles says.
Then he lands on the ground.
"Hey Tails, what were you doing in the forest with those guys?" Eve asks.
"Well, I was actually by myself when those boys came along and make fun of me. They always laugh at me because of my knowledge of machinery and my two tails," Tails sadly answers.
"Those guys are jerks," Eve says.
"Yeah. I live to give those guys a piece of my mind," Sonic says.
Then Sonic asks, "So where do you like? Eve and I can take you back home to your parents."
Tails becomes sad and turns his head away in sadness.
"What is something I said?" Sonic asks.
"Is there something wrong?" Eve ask.
"Nothing wrong, it's just that… I don't have a family. Not anymore," Miles answers, depressed.
"What happened?" Sonic asks.
"There were robots that attacked my hometown over a year ago. Me, those boys, and a few people manage to get away. I was separated from my parents during the crossfire and um, never been able to find them since," Miles says, and begins to verge tears from his face.
Sonic and Eve can't believe it. What happen to miles, is almost similar to what happen to them. What's worse, they figure who is responsible for the robot attack.
"It's okay Miles, we know how you feel," Eve says.
"You do?" Miles asks.
"Yeah. Our home Mobotropolis was the first city of be attacked by Dr. Robotnik and his badniks. Eve andI were able to escape with our aunt, uncle, and cousins, but our parents were never found," Sonic says.
"I'm sorry," Miles says.
"Don't be," Sonic says.
""But what should I do? I don't have a home, a family, or eve friends. Those boys are so mean and no one seems to want to be around me much," Miles says.
"Why?" Eve and Sonic asks.
"Because I'm so… different," Miles answer.
Sonic and Eve turn to each other and then suddenly smile and nod their heads.
"Well how about you stay with us?" Sonic asks.
"You really mean it?" Tails asks in surprise.
"Yeah. It's our job to help people in need, and you're someone in need. Plus, we all are on the same boat as you. We were victims of Robotnik as well,and you seem to be pretty good with gadgets," Sonic says
"Plus, our Uncle Chuck and our friend Rotor will be glad to have a young inventor like you on the team," Eve says.
"Um thanks. I really love to," Miles happily accepts.
"Sound good to me Tails," Sonic says.
"Tails?" Miles asks looking confused.
"It's your new nickname. Because you have two tails, thought it will be a good name for you. If you don't mind if we call you that," Sonic says.
Miles smiles, "I don't mind at all. I think it suits me."
The three then start laughing with smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, they hear a loud booming sound and quickly turn their to the bushes. They turn their heads to see smoke and explosions not far from here.
Tails gasps, "That's the camp that many of us from my home are at."
"Then we better get there on the double," Sonic says.
Sonic and Eve use their super speed while Tails fly after them.
At the camp, everyone are running and screaming as they try to get away from the Badniks. Some of them have already capture them and take them away. Many others are able to get away or try their best to fight back. Sonic, Eve, and Tails that he likes to be called arrive to see the camp being destroyed.
"Looks like we going to end up with scrap metals when we get through with them," Eve says.
Sonic smirks, "Yeah. Let's do it to it!"
The two hedgehogs run off to begin attacking the machine. They either hit them on the head or on the body. Eve uses her chaos energy to create a bow and arrow and fire at the robots. Then throws spears, and creates sword to slice them in half. The few people including the bullies use what they can find to fight back. Miles or Tails stands there in amazement to see Sonic and Eve fighting back.
Tails says in thought, "I know that I need to do something, but what I can do. I can't fight them."
Tails looks at his box, and has an idea. He presses the button and a hatch open. Then small strange paper planes fly at the robots and stick on them. Suddenly, they all begin to short circuit the robots.
Some of the robots are shut down, and Tails decide to open up the robots to take some parts. Sonic, Eve, and some of the campers continue to fight the robots with their combat and weapons. Tails continue to take some parts and weaponry from the machine and create a special weapon. Tails looks and gasps to see Sonic, Eve, and the campers are pinned to the ground.
Tails lifts her special machine gun, and puts a bag of his old marbles in the machine.
Tails aims the gun, and shouts, "Hey! Leave my friends alone!"
And fires.
Tails uses the machine marble gun to hit the robots and are getting knocked down. Tails then presses the button to release more of his special airplanes to make the robots short circuit. Sonic and Eve are able to break free and help Tails destroy the machines. The bullies and other campers continue to attack the machine. Hey continue to bash and blast the robots until they are all destroyed.
Sonic and Eve land right by Tails with smiles on their face and give him a thumbs up. Tails blushes with a small laugh with glee. Tails feel pretty proud that he is able to build up the courage to fight back and help his new friends.
