Author's Note: Sorry for the long delay, Christmas with family in Arizona. Anyways here is the story!

Chapter 3: A Ray of Hope

"No…" Sonic muttered fighting back tears, "H-He can't be dead."

"Tails…" Cosmo spoke, "I never got to say…"

"I'm going out there!" Sonic stated.

He went to run out be was stopped by Chris.

"Sonic, there's no way Tails could have survived that explosion. I'm sorry."

Sonic refused to be leave it, "I'm still going out there!"

"Sonic," Chris began but he was cut off by his uncle.

"Sonic!" Uncle Chuck exclaimed, "Tails is still alive!"

"How would you know?" Sonic asked.

"I'm detecting two life signatures amidst the wreckage, one of them is fading though."

"Well then there's no time to waste!"

Sonic then ran out of the room and returned with the 7 Chaos Emeralds, which had a good amount of their energy spent.

The Emeralds then began to spin around Sonic and he transformed into Super Sonic, which then darted out of the ship and towards the wreckage.

Tails' POV:

"Ow" I thought "That really hurt."

Everything in Tails' body hurt, except strangely his right leg and both his tails.

Tails then saw a golden streak leave the Blue Typhoon and head towards the wreckage.

"Super Sonic" Tails thought.

Then everything went black.

Sonic's POV:

I arrived at the wreckage to find Silver there using telekinesis to move the boulders away, I assumed he was looking for Tails to.

As we both moved/destroyed the rocks I saw Tails, but I barley recognized him.

His fur was tinted a sight red from blood and he had several burns on his body, I quickly grabbed him and began to fly back to The Blue Typhoon. I felt Tails' breathing begin to slow.

"Stay with me Tails!" I shouted at him in my mind.

I flew through the door of The Blue Typhoon and quickly grabbed Chris and Chuck as I powered down and ran towards the infirmary. Amy, Knuckles, and Cream followed.

I lay Tails on one of the beds while the other 5 began to grab medical supplies.

Several Hours later…

I sat outside of the infirmary with Amy, Knuckles, and Cream. Chuck and Chris were inside preforming scans of Tails to see how bad the injury was.

Chuck walked out, "I have some bad news." He spoke.
