Author Note: I mentioned earlier that I will be doing a story where Bruce and Tamamo-no-Mae would "adopt" Miles Prower.
But I decided to spice things up by adding some Marvel space madness.
I've always wanted to write a sci-fi story in space with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Plot: Miles "Tails" Prower is a small fox from the planet Mobius, who has been observing the Earth and its many heroes for quite some time, becoming a fan of one particular hero, Bruce Bahamut Belmont.
When its hero is kidnapped by the Skrulls and wanted dead or alive by the Kree.
Tails decides to travel to space and help his hero.
Unaware that on the way he would participate in the creation of the Guardians of the Galaxy, face Doctor Eggman, all while the Skrulls and Kree want revenge.

POV Narrator
Boston is a city in the United States of America, capital of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
It is the largest city in the state and in New England, as well as the most important economic and cultural center.
In recent years, the city has become famous for three things:
One is home to the world's greatest detective, Bruce Bahamut Belmont, a 17-year-old who solves some of the world's greatest mysteries.
Several times he was hired by the royal family of the United Kingdom to solve particular problems.
Two, multinational agency Camelot Industries, recently finished building the company's American branch, a ridiculously large skyscraper.
The Camelot Industries skyscraper is not only the largest building in the city, but has officially become the largest skyscraper in the world, boasting 1001 meters in height.
Far surpassing the famous Burj Khalifa and its 829.80 meters in height.
Boston has become home to an incredibly large number of unexplained accidents (for outsiders, Bostonians have their own theories about the existence of a team of secret heroes).
Sometimes managing to surpass New York in terms of weirdness.
A rather impressive fact, because New York is regularly turned upside down by the conflicts between super-heroes and super-villains.
XXX
Summer has officially begun a few weeks ago, and all the citizens are enjoying a wonderful sunny day.
The streets are crowded, people of all shapes and sizes scurrying back and forth, enjoying the most they can get out of their day.
Suddenly, everything changed.
A huge portal of golden color has opened in the heart of the city, attracting the attention of all citizens.
A trail of purple-black color came out of the portal, followed by a huge number of killing machines and ... a biplane.
First, New York with the Chitauri, followed by Sokovia with Ultron and Los Angeles with Marcore.
Now, it's Boston's turn to enter the history books as the fourth city in the world to be overrun by robots.
The leader of this invasion is Doctor Ivo Robotnik aka Eggman.
His main opponents are Miles "Tails" Prower, Amy Rose, Tamamo-no-Mae and Bruce Bahamut Belmont.
XXX
After months of quiet, the strange and the abnormal have returned in full force to Boston.
This is no surprise to anyone who knows the hidden side of the city.
The star player, Bruce Bahamut Belmont, has returned to Boston, after spending a school year at Nevermore Academy in the city of Jericho.
So no one is surprised that his return home coincides with a robot invasion, led by a mad scientist, while being accompanied by an adorable anthropomorphic fox with two tails.
Eventually, the Clawthorne-Noceda family could probably gain a new member.
XXX
The source of the disaster can be summarized in three small groups that are traveling in a straight line.
The first group that is in front of everyone is made up of Bruce, a 17-year-old androgynous boy; a blue-eyed female raven and a strange creature resembling a mutant ferret similar to Digimon's Kudamon.
Bruce's hair and eyes are glowing a powerful neon purple, constantly releasing black lightning from his body.
Bruce is running as fast as a state-of-the-art fighter jet, leaving a purple-black trail in his wake.
The female crow, Carmen, is glowing just like Bruce and flies at the same speed as her master, accompanying in this chase.
The female ferret (?), Vritra, she stands still and relaxed, wrapped around Bruce's neck and shoulders like a scarf.
The second group consists of a mad scientist and his futuristic craft, accompanied by a small army of flying killer robots.
The mad scientist is officially called Doctor Robotnik, but most of his enemies call him, Eggman.
Doctor Robotnik is a middle-aged human, 185 cm tall, physically of average size.
His short hair is a dark brown hair color, light peach skin, brown eyes, a short mustache, and a wide stubble on the jaw.
His hair is slicked back and his mustache is thin and dark brown with handlebar curls at the ends.
For clothing, he usually wore a black trench coat with custom tails and red piping, a dark gray tunic, black pants, black shoes, black gloves, black sunglasses, and a pair of Robotnik Control Gloves.
Doctor Robotnik is piloting, a black and white craft, which floats gently in the air as its red ring engines run at full power, trying to reach out and kill his new obsession.
The sides of the aircraft are mounted with numerous futuristic weapons that can definitely destroy a tank or house.
Surrounding the mad doctor and his futuristic aircraft are nearly a hundred oval-shaped robots, with a single luminous red eye, equipped with laser weapons.
The third group that is at the back of the chase, in some ways could be the strangest and most colorful of the three groups.
An old vintage biplane with a red fuselage and two gray main wings attached to a pair of poles on either side, is chasing Doctor Robotnik who is in turn chasing Bruce.
In the pilot's seat is Miles "Tails" Prower, an anthropomorphic fox cub, seven years old, 70 centimeters tall and weighing 15 kilograms.
Tails suffers from a unique genetic mutation that gives him two tails instead of one.
It has primarily amber fur with white fur around the muzzle with tufts on the cheeks, front torso with fluffy fur over the chest, and the tip of the tail.
It also has large triangular ears with white channels on top of its head, a small black nose, and three strands of hair on its forehead.
For clothing, Tails wears white gloves with a gray band around each wrist; and red heel-to-center and white center-to-toe shoes with white cuffs and gray soles, each with a gray band around the ankle.
A final addition to Tails' outfit is a short yellow scarf and a pair of aviator goggles.
Above the right wing of the biplane is Caster alias Tamamo-no-Mae, a young woman of 19 years old, 160cm tall, weight 49kg, her three dimensions are: B86/W57/H84.
Caster is dressed in what can only be described as a Japanese-style ero-kimono as colorful as the raging ocean behind her, with loose sleeves that covered most of her arms, leaving her porcelain white shoulders bare.
Black geta shoes served to slightly increase her height, while her slender legs were covered in matching indigo stockings.
Yet the most curious part of her that immediately catches anyone's attention were a pair of orange ears peeking out of a mass of pink hair, and three similarly colored fox tails across the folds of her clothing.
The beautiful Kitsune is a fragment of a Heroic Spirit, i.e. a Servant.
Simply put, Tamamo-no-Mae is a ghost of a historical/mythical figure, brought back to this world to assist a magician.
Above the left wing of the biplane is, Amy Rose, is a pink-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog of 15-year-old, 90 centimeters tall, with light green eyes and peach skin covering her muzzle, inner ears, and arms.
She has a small black nose, triangular ears on top of her head, and no back spines. She also has two medium-length eyelashes on each side of her eyes. Additionally, her five short head quills point downwards, somewhat resembling a bob cut. She also has three spikes for bangs on her head, and a short pointy tail.
For attire, Amy wears a red sleeveless and backless dress with two white trims and a white petticoat underneath, tall red boots with a white stripe down the center, white cuffs and gray soles, a red hairband, and white wrist-length gloves with gold bracelets for cuffs.
Amy's trademark weapon is the Piko Piko Hammer, a size-shifting hammer capable of dealing massive damage with no excessive efforts, which she can call out from an unknown hiding spot.
XXX
A rather bizarre situation worthy of being turned into a Manga or maybe a video game.
A young occult detective with great powers, he is pursued by a mad scientist and his army of robots, while being aided by a Kitsune, a genius mobian fox cub and a fierce mobian hedgehog.
XXX
Suddenly, "time slows down" and the whole image shifts to the red biplane, allowing one of the protagonists to speak to the audience.
'I'm not very good at this, but I'll try my best, after all I'm the new Sidekick of the greatest detective in the galaxy.' Said a young voice that seems to belong to Tails.
'I'm pretty sure many of you are confused as to what's going on.
Why does a little fox like me get caught up in the fight between a legendary hero and a terrifying scientist who wants to conquer the world and then galaxy?' Tails asks, in a shy voice, feeling out of place in this conflict.
Time begins to flow once again.
Bruce instead of continuing to run, stops without problems, the same cannot be said of his pursuers.
Unlike the Ultimate Life Form, Eggman's craft and robots do not have an instant stop option.
So, now Bruce is behind them and can hit them at will, with a little help from Carmen.
The blue-eyed female crow's body shimmers for a moment, then transforms into a mistral arc, falling into Bruce's hands.
"Lightning Arrows!" Shouts Bruce, pulling the sting of the bow, concentrating his energy, creating arrows with the power of a thousand Volts.
A shower of glittering arrows hit Eggman's flying robots and aircraft, causing a lot of damage to his equipment.
" I'll kill you cursed investigator of my boots!" cries the mad scientist, gritting his teeth in pain from being electrocuted.
"Monsters and madmen, more powerful than you, have tried and failed. Watch me, after yet another threat, I'm still standing on stage enjoying myself." Bruce said, with an arrogant smile, treating Doctor Robotnik as if he was below his level, all to provoke him.
His allies hang glider, got close enough for Bruce to leap and land behind the genius little fox.
"Tails, Amy, welcome to my city, Boston! I hope you enjoy the view." declares Bruce, smiling warmly as he returns home after a few weeks of absence.
" Foxy, take us to the tallest skyscraper in the city, there's a surprise for Doctor Robotnik." Bruce declares, pointing at the gigantic Camelot Industries building.
'Honestly, it's a long story and a rather complicated one…' Says Tails' voice as he is taking the hang glider wherever Bruce wants.
The chase continued, this time as two groups: The Bizarre Squad of Heroes and Eggman's Mecha Patrol.
Things look like they are nearing their end. But, Tails must have learned that nothing comes easy when you have Bruce Bahamut Belmont on your team.
Above the skies over Boston, a giant light blue portal has appeared, bringing to the scene a new wave of enemies and a small, dysfunctional group of allies.
The aliens have joined this disaster which will be on the international news for weeks.
Eggman's reinforcements are a mix of Kree battleships, Skrulls, and many of Eggman's AI-controlled combat robots.
The only spacecraft that isn't aiming its weapons is an M-class spaceship, painted orange and blue, known as The Milano, belonging to the Guardians of the Galaxy.
On the outer hull of the Milano, there are two beautiful young women, armed with fancy swords. The two of them are Nero and Altera.
Tamamo-no-Mae isn't the only Servant on Bruce's team, she was simply the only one to get a spot on Tails' hang glider.
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus alias Red Saber is a young girl, 150cm tall, her three size is: B83/W56/H82
Red Saber is a blonde-haired, buxom beauty with pale skin, yellowish-blonde hair with a socket, and bright lime green eyes.
She dresses in a revealing red and white dress with long puffy sleeves, a sheer front, bodysuit, and knee-high gold armored boots.
Nero ties her long, flowing hair into an intricate bun.
He bears a great resemblance to another Saber, King Arthur, although there is no blood relationship between them.
Altera is a beautiful tan-skinned girl with red eyes and white, veil-like hair under her actual white veil. Her body is carved with the white marks of war and tattoos of combat as the Crest of the Star.
Her hair is snow white and shiny, her eyes are scarlet red, and a strange arrangement of tattoo-like markings covered her entire body, with a multi-colored diamond shape pasted onto her forehead, covered only by strands of hair .
Altera's outfit is quite revealing.
Put simply, the white-haired beauty's dress is just enough to cover her chest and crotch, plus white sleeves and a crew neck, chunks of fabric hanging from her crotch.
The color of his clothing is primarily white, with a black interior and blood-red trim.
In this Amazon's hand lies a blade of many shades waiting to slay her enemies.
'A very complicated story involving me, Bruce, Amy, Bruce's three Favorite Servants, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Eggman and a good many Kree and Skrull soldiers.' Said Tails' voice, in a trembling voice, knowing he'd embroiled himself in a millennial feud between two space empires and potentially found an arch-nemesis for Bruce.
"The Skulls and the Kree are really mad at us if they decided to put aside their differences and team up with Eggman." Amy murmurs, holding her hammer tightly, preparing to face a great number of green- or blue-skinned men.
"It will be fun to defeat them!" He declares Bruce, a fierce grin on his lips, pointing his bow in the direction of the Kree and Skrull spacecraft. Being him the only one happy to see a small fleet of enemy ships.
"Goshujin-sama, once this is over, I want to spend the rest of the summer in Paris!" She shouts Tamamo-no-Mae, as she prepares magical talismans to throw at the enemy, needing a good vacation after the craziness of the last few weeks.
"Got it. Let's defeat the Skrull-Kree-Eggman triple alliance, adopt Miles Prower, help Amy live her dreams, then take a vacation to Paris." Bruce replies, putting Caster's requests on his to-do list.
'Before I can begin my story of how I ended up here, we have to go back 18 months.' Tails' voice said, having to back up his memories.
Everything starts to slow down again, while the Bruce, Tamamo-no-Mae and Amy are attacking and/or deflecting the lasers of Eggman's robots, as if they were Jedi.
Time hasn't stopped again, instead something different is happening.
The entire chase and fight scenes are moving in reverse, as if a cosmic giant had pressed the button on the remote, bringing the entire "movie" back to the beginning.
Suddenly, everything goes black...

POV Miles "Tails" Prower
My name is Miles Prower, recently, friends call me Tails because of my two tails.
For once someone considers my genetic mutation as something nice or beautiful.
In the past, many times people have called me not too nice things, because I have two tails instead of one.
I'm losing concentration again!
The children in my village weren't very kind to me. Therefore, I was just on my own, spending most of my days working on my many science projects.
One day when I went in search of new materials, I found a yellow precious gem.
I would find out much later that it was a Chaos Emerald.
Being a science fox I studied the gemstone, finding that it subtly emitted a particular energetic signature.
Continuing my stone studies, I managed to invent a very special device that would allow me to find other objects with the same energy signature.
Something unexpected happened when I turned on my invention.
My car proved to be less of a special stone radar.
In fact, without knowing how, I built a viewing device for beings that possess an energy signature similar to that of the Chaos Emeralds.
My observation device showed me a strange creature, surrounded by Mobian frog-like beings in a completely different world from my own.
Driven by curiosity I continued to observe the creature, wanting to understand why, my device shows me this alien creature.
Slowly, I discovered that the alien being is called, Bruce Bahamut Belmont and was very far from home.
I admit to being intrigued by the idea of a creature unlike any other in a hostile environment.
I wanted to see if Bruce would end up in a situation similar to mine or would he thrive?
I began to observe this Bruce, gradually becoming fascinated by him and his story.
Bruce, along with two friends, Marcy Wu and Anne Boonchuy, ended up in the village of Wartwood, in the strange world of Amphibia.
Listening to their discussions I understood, that the three of them came from a planet called, Earth.
But, they ended up on Amphibia, thanks to an artifact named, Calamity Box, a kind of ancient space-time transportation device that took Bruce, Marcy, Anne and the rest of their friends to a completely different world.
Gaining more information, I realized that the Four Stones of Calamity resemble Chaos Emeralds enough, to attract the attention of my observation device.
Having got the answer to my question about how my new intention targeted Bruce, I was able to finish the observation experiment.
But I couldn't stop watching Bruce and his friends adventures.
Bruce and his friends were literally aliens in a world that has had no contact with other life forms, they should end up being outcasts or considered monsters.
At first, the Terrans were treated within my expectations. But, with time each of them has managed to flourish into local heroes, especially Anne.
Bruce, the strangest of Earthlings, possesses unparalleled intelligence and numerous superhuman abilities that others did not possess, he has not received the same treatment as Anne and Marcy.
The entire population of Wartwood regarded him as a kind of archdemon from Hell, who is kept calm by his friends and the Plantar Family.
But whenever disaster and misfortune hit the city, Bruce managed to handle the situation, saving lives and fixing the source of the problem.
Very slowly, the population began to change perspective, more amphibians came to Bruce for help or advice.
Thus the archdemon of Wartwood Hell has become a wise guardian of the forest, respected by all.
Then, when the mayoral position fell vacant, Bruce became deeply involved in the Wartwood government, beginning a remarkable advancement in every imaginable area.
I continued to watch events unfold, with growing interest.
Days have turned into weeks, weeks have turned into months.
Bruce and his friends eventually returned to earth, but their adventures weren't over, they just changed the setting.
And I kept watching, taking notes and recording some important moments of their adventures and especially Bruce's lessons.
One aspect I love about this studio from a distance is being able to watch Bruce's science lectures with Marcy, Miyu, and other smart people in his circle.
Rules, my hero devotes a portion of his day to passing on his advanced knowledge to his younger sister and more intellectual friends.
I've been self-taught all my life, getting the chance to hear and see a robotics lecture unfold, got me excited.
Just by listening, I was able to make tremendous progress in many fields that I could not imagine, I was forced to record every lesson of Bruce to be able to review them later.
Three months of study became nine months, and I can admit that I'm interested in Bruce and his planet, Earth, not as a scientist, but more as a person.
I have seen amazing things and many of them especially scary.
Solving a myriad of Boston's unusual crimes.
New adventures across the Earth, Boiling Isles and Amphibia.
The meeting of Earth science geniuses like Tony Stark aka Iron-man or Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic.
I often have whole days reviewing how Iron-man's armor is put together and figuring out how to replicate the Arc Reactor.
I soon learned that the most gifted of Earthlings have a habit of wearing fantastic costumes and using incredible nicknames to save lives, cities or the planet in some extreme cases.
I have witnessed some strange events that I cannot fully explain.
But I can say that seeing how Bruce ended up in a parallel dimension, you have medieval times, where he fought the Knights of the Round Table, followed by a tyrannical King Arthur, was great.
There were many other adventures, the strangest of all being when Bruce found a "magical" ring.
Then appeared, Shahra, the "genie" of the ring, stepping out of a "book" of the Arabian Nights and into Bruce's world...
I still don't understand what happened then, but I'm sure string theory and energetic entities with reality-altering powers have something to do with it.
But the adventure that touched me personally was the encounter between Bruce and X-23 aka Laura Kinney, followed by the destruction of the Weapon X Program.
The existence of the Homo sapien superior race also known as "mutants" are humans born with a genetic anomaly that grants them superpowers, touched me deeply.
Discovering that on Earth there is an entire race of people born different and forced to face a thousand difficulties to be accepted by the normal terrestrial population was liberating.
I'm not the only being in the galaxy, born strange, with abnormal abilities who are treated poorly by the majority.
I wish there were more mutants on Mobius, could we make Moban-X?
Time passed, the nine months became a year and a half of study focused on the blue planet, I learned a lot about the cities of America.
New York is the city with the largest number of super-heroes on the planet, making it the least hospitable place for aliens.
Gravity Falls has a huge amount of cryptids and a particularly sensitive space-time fabric, an ideal place to open a portal.
The small town of Jericho can boast of Nevermore Academy, one of the most dangerous and flammable schools in the world. In such a place, a little fox like me can go unnoticed.
The desire to leave my village and go and explore the Earth has been born within me for a long time.
Watching how Bruce travels through time and space to the most absurd places in the universe or simply performs an assignment on the other side of the world made me want to have similar experiences.
I was looking for the perfect place to start my little adventure, but there were never the right circumstances.
Then a few weeks ago, an opportunity presented itself that allowed me to meet my idol.

POV Narrator
336 hours in the past, on the planet Mobius.
Inside what looks like a rather messy workshop/house, is one of our protagonists, Miles "Tails" Prower.
The little fox stands in front of a mirror, rehearsing sentences for when he would set foot on Earth.
" Hi, I'm Miles Prower, I'm from the planet Mobius, I came here in peace to visit Earth." Tails said, trying to sound friendly and not some alien creature wanting to invade Earth.
"No, too much a foolish tourist." Tails murmurs, not happy with her statement.
" Hi, Bruce Bahamut Belmont, I'm Miles Prower, your number one fan, I've come to meet you!" Tails said, in a lively voice and a big smile.
"Too intrusive." Tails mutters, lowering her head, disappointed in her own social skills.
Tails deciding he's had enough tries at the mirror, returns to his desk, filled with orographic screens and advanced equipment.
"Let's see, what Bruce's been up to lately, he should be on his way back to Boston." Tails mutters, trying to lift his spirits with his favorite pastime, watching his hero in action.
Instead of showing a young detective on the streets of Boston, the orographic screens showed Bruce tied and immobilized to a huge piece of machinery, surrounded by green-skinned soldiers dressed in purple-blue military uniforms.
"Bruce has been kidnapped by the Skrulls!" Shouts Tails, in disbelief of what is happening on screen.
" Bruce has no allies in space, I have to do something!" shouts Tails, rising from his seat, starting to make preparations for his rescue mission.
The abduction of the Skrulls was the spark that ignited a large number of events that would intertwine the fate of several Mobians with Earth and a certain bizarre family
The space is not in the slightest ready to deal with the madness of the Owl House.
XXX
In a black room adorned with a large number of clocks, a young man in his twenties appears wearing a faded gray jacket with dark white cuffs, silver buttons, black trousers and leather boots with straps and a gray-purple scarf.
She also wears a hood, which is part of the tunic, in which she covers her face as well as her hair, but her mouth and nose are visible, albeit barely.
In her hands he holds a large book with an important and extravagant appearance.
The cover of the book is covered with engravings reminiscent of gears and clocks, at the top is the title of the book: "The Case of Two Tails: The Sorcerer, Fox and Aliens."
He smiled smugly before pulling off her hood, revealing his black hair combed to one side and his gray eyes.
The Prophet dressed in gray looks up at an invisible audience that only he is capable of perceiving and interacting.
"Greetings, dear readers, I am Woz, the scribe and chronicler of the greatest Demon King who ever lived." Woz proudly declares, opening the book and reading the first page.
"According to this book, my Waga Maou is not only a man popular with witches and demons. Life forms that live on other worlds are also attracted to his light." said Woz, always ready to speak well of his glorious master.
"Unfortunately, such a bright light doesn't just attract followers and subjects who just want to worship my Waga Maou." Woz's carefree smile is gone, being replaced by a nasty frown.
"Stupid lesser beings, covetous, arrogant and disillusioned, with unwarranted delusions of grandeur, try to commit the sacrilege of stealing and attempting to pervert the light of the greatest Demon King." Woz said, not even trying to hide his contempt and disgust for heretics.
"This tale is a perfect story of how the faithful are repaid for their faith and the heretics are punished for their sins." Says Woz, the fanatical prophet of allegiance to Bruce Bahamut Belmont.
" The little fox named, Miles Prower, seeing my Waga Maou in trouble, does not hesitate to run to help him. For this, the universe will repay him deeply." Woz said, with a sincere smile on his lips, loving to see new people joining his Waga Maou's side.
Woz's book, shows a realistic image of Tails, who is working on a kind of rifle / portal powered by the Chaos Emerald to reach his hero.
"The desperate Skrulls, led by Kl'rt; and the lying Kree, led by Ronan the Accuser, will learn the hard way what happens when they try to turn my Waga Maou into their weapon for their futile war." Woz said, having only hatred towards whom, he wants to use his Demon King for their misdeeds.
Woz's book, shows two warship spaceships, led by their respective military leaders, each of them setting up their own super soldier experiment that requires a specific person to function.
The title of Ultimate Life Form and The Evolutionary Apex, brings only malicious attention from mad scientists and warlords.
"Soon the Skrulls and Kree will often learn the consequences of their actions, just like Arnim Zola, William Stryker and Sinister." Woz murmurs, with a slight mischievous smile on his lips.
The gray-suited Prophet has a good idea of what will happen to the aliens who are messing with the wrong hero.
Suddenly the book closed and Woz disappears into thin air.
