Here is another chapter of my great Tails related story. Just like before, you read, you review, and I make more chapters till the story is done.

Chapter 19: Mission to Magma Mill

"Tails! Where are you buddy! Answer me!" Sonic shouted. He wasn't getting any answer but he knew Tails could hear him somehow. The burning palace crumbled toward the ground leaving a pile of ashes behind. He couldn't see beyond the smoke but something told him Tails was there.

"Sonic I…" Amy began before the blue hedgehog interrupted her.

"Hey do you see that!" Sonic was staring at the palace. It was engulfed with a large purple aurora. The once red and orange flames all turned violet. Soon a huge purple gas started to fill the air. It spread outward and surrounded the entire town. Everywhere it went it started to heal wounded bodies. Everyone was getting his or her strength back from the mist.

"Whoa, would you look at that." Knuckles said staring at the aurora around his body. He was gaining more strength just like everyone else. The gas even spread into the hotel where Yaupon's corpse was. His body managed to suck in some of the gas as well. About a minute after his body sucked it in Yaupon opened his eyes and leaned up.

"W-what…what happened…where am I…" The silver hedgehog got off the table and headed out the door to see everyone outside standing in some kind of purple mist.

"Where is all this gas coming from?" Sonic asked.

"Sonic look!" Amy pointed to the palace. Sonic watched as he saw the kitsune form of his friend arise out of the rubble and now violet colored ashes. There on his back were two familiar looking hedgehogs. Tails stepped out of the ashes a stepped toward Sonic. The blue hedgehog just stared at his black furred fox friend in amazement. It was then that Tails' fur turned orange again and the fox fell to the ground. The two hedgehogs's stood up and helped Tails up.

"Are you okay sweetie?" The female hedgehog asked. Tails nodded slowly then they all turned to Sonic. The three blue hedgehogs just stared at each other for what seemed like forever until Sonic finally said something.

"…M-m-mom? D-dad…?" Sonic stuttered. All his parents did was smile at their blue son. "MOM! DAD!" Sonic ran toward them and gave them a hug with enough force to cause both of them to fall to the ground. They all stood their ground however. His parents hugged Sonic back and began tearing up. Everyone could tell they were all very happy.

"Awwwwww. Look how happy Sonic is." Amy cooed.

"Yeah that's nice. Hey, since the bad guy is gone don't you think we should leave too?" Knuckles suggested.

"Oh just let them have their moment Knuckles." Amy said.

"Sure…whatever." Knuckles answered back clearly uninterested in the scene.

"Come on Knuckles don't you have any sympathy." Asked Antiguan.

"Yeah, sympathy for things that are mine." The echidna informed.

"Um…excuse me…" came a voice from behind. Everyone turned around to face the person who said that even Sonic and his two battered parents.

"Impossible…it's…it's you." Antiguan said clearly amazed. They were all staring at the now alive and well face of Yaupon the Hedgehog.

"Y-Yaupon?" Sonic asked a bit confused.

"AHHHHHH! GHOST!" Tails shouted as he hid behind Sonic.

"Wha? I'm not a ghost…at least I think I'm not…" Yaupon said confused as well. He still remembered being stabbed by his father and he was sure he would die from it. This was all very strange indeed.

"I don't get it…how is he…" Sonic began then almost immediately remembered the purple mist. 'It must've made it's way into the hotel and brought him back to life. So positive things can come from this kitsune form of his. Maybe there IS a way to turn him into a good kitsune.' Sonic thought.

"So if Yaupon's not a ghost…then he's alive?" Tails asked.

"Yeah…he is." Sonic answered.

"…Oh…where'd did the guy who killed him go?" Tails wondered.

In the skies overhead

Karst was almost 2 miles away from that island when he saw a small yet far off ship. Karst boosted up his ride's engines and shot toward it. When he did he stopped by the window and looked inside.

"Well hello Todd." Karst said.

"…What do you want?" Todd asked scarcely.

"I need a ride so I'm stealing yours." Karst informed.

"…What? Hell no!" Todd was about to grab the boost and rocket out of sight but then he stopped. Something made him stop. Todd had a huge blank expression on his face and his hands began to limb from the controls.

"Oh don't tell me that you forgot about the little bug I put on you. I guess when it heard you mouthing off to me it made its way into your brain and blew a big hole through it. Painful huh?" Karst asked and smiled at the now lifeless body of Todd banks. He saw the ship nearing the water and thought it was time to take control. He blew open the window, shoved out the corpse into the water, and took control of the ship in order to fly it right again.

"Man I love me." Karsts took out his mirror staff and put the ship in autopilot so he could bask in his own glory and tell himself how pretty he looked. "Now this is a face everyone could and WILL love. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

At Eggman's base a day later

Metal Sonic fumbled through Dr. Eggman's records and files but couldn't find anything of importance to him. Suddenly he heard a voice in his head.

'What is taking so long! Do you have the file or not?' shouted the voice in his head.

"No! But I assure you I will find it no matter what it takes. Eggman must have it hidden in a different location but I have no clue where…hold on!" Metal turned toward the control room on the ship and headed for it. He opened the door and saw Eggman asleep on his chair, Bocoe and Decoe sleeping in their own chairs, and Bokkunn sleeping on Eggman's desk.

"Now to find that file." Metal Sonic sneaked up to the desk drawer and pulled it open. There were only two files in there. He pulled the first one out and began reading.

'Well? What does it say?' The voice asked.

"It says something about a homeless two-tailed brat living on Westside Island. It says here he is 4-year-old and is constantly bullied by a jaguar named Hang Nail, a monkey named Slips, and a panther named Silt. It also has information on some guy named Bear Mayor."

'It does?! Quickly read the file.'

"It says here Bear Mayor was a half robot half bear civilian who made a deal with Eggman. It says he teamed up with some guy named SmokeStack and killed off the Two-tailed fox's parents. For what reason I'm not sure and this file doesn't make it that clear either. Should I read on?"

'Yes.'

"Okay. It also says Bear Mayor made illegal shipping's of money across Mobius that not only disrupted the community but violated some deal him and SmokeStack had."

'And?'

"It says SmokeStack killed Bear Mayor for it later. That's it."

'Damn! Check the other file.' Commanded the voice. Metal Sonic did so.

"It is a computer chip." Metal Sonic held it in his hand. All of a sudden a huge image burst out of the chip and projected what looked like to be a journal entry. Metal Sonic began reading it carefully.

It read: "HOHOHOHOHOHO! I can't believe how easy it was. Tricking those three loons so easily. I got them all to believe that the kitsune form could be activated at full blast at anytime. What fools!

Can you believe the real truth is that the correct coordinates are set throughout the entire kitsune timeline? Darkness, SmokeStack, and Bear Mayor all thought that the kitsune form was unstable and could be activated at anytime but I knew better. I knew there had to be a certain sequence that followed throughout time and caused a certain fox to become a kitsune.

If I recall my intelligence reports stated that the very item responsible for creating the first kitsune over 5000 years ago was known as the 'Seal of Heaven'. The Seal of Heaven is a very powerful yet very tricky device used by ancient civilians to have any problem undone with a small touch of the hand. However, it was a very hard tool to use and it took careful procession to operate it correctly. For if it was used the wrong way the results could be catastrophic.

HOHOHOHOHOHO! It does my heart good to see something like that take place. Apparently something catastrophic did happen and it created the first kitsune. What happened I'm unsure of but it really doesn't matter to me. After the first kitsune was created it went on a rampage and destroyed millions of lives. Soon it was sealed away inside the very body of the person who began the kitsune. After it was sealed the person was killed but it was said that the kitsune power did not go away. Instead it made it's way toward the victim's apparent son.

This boy did not become a kitsune however. The timeline of the Seal of Heaven would be ruined if he did. I figured out that the way for a kitsune to form was a very carefully executed cycle. The locations where a kitsune was formed went around Mobius in a complete circle. It deliberately followed the exact shape of the Seal of Heaven. A Circle!

The planet was a globe but from a far off view it looked like a circle. The same goes for the Seal of Heaven. The top of the Seal of Heaven, which is also the top of Mobius, is known as 'Coordinates 000'. Coordinates 000 are the exact location the first kitsune was formed. Normally the North Pole would be there however due to the fact that Coordinates 000 was formed 5000 years ago it must have been very hot there. Today Coordinates 000 has rotated with the planet. It is now located near some wasteland. The side of the Seal of Heaven is Coordinates 050 (1). This is Mobius' side, which is now at the North Pole. This was where the Second Kitsune was formed.

The next coordinates are Coordinates 100. The Third one was formed here. The next was Coordinates 050 (2). The Fourth formed here. Now we're heading back to Coordinates 000 where the strongest and most ruthless kitsune will be formed to date. That one will be the very special child known as…

Miles Tails Prower.

HOHOHOHOHHOHO!"

Metal Sonic put the chip back in the file and put the file back into the drawer and shut it.

"Did you hear all that?" Metal Sonic asked.

'Yes. I think I know what he's planning now. Make sure you keep an eye out for him Metal.' The voice warned.

"Yes…Commander Darkness."

"Commander who?" asked the now awake Dr. Eggman. Metal flinched then turned around to face the doctor.

"Uh…Commander Eggman. I was trying to wake you up so I could tell you…that…um…" Metal was trying his hardest to make something up.

"Don't worry about it. We both know you'd never betray me. Isn't that right Bokkunn." Eggman said turning to also awake messenger boy.

"What! Are you kidding? We both know if he ever got a hold of any of your secrets he'd skip ship in a flash." Bokkunn said angrily.

"Don't mind him he's just cranky." Eggman stated. "So how about you go get me some hot chocolate with extra sugar, extra cream, extra sugar, and drop an raw egg in the cup as well." Eggman ordered then pushed the robot away. 'I know he gave my files away to Darkness but I can't risk saying anything for fear of having my head gunned off by Metal and his superior weapons. I'll just have to play it cool for a while.'

"I'm telling you doctor that robot is betraying you." Bokkunn warned.

"Oh I know." Eggman said.

"YOU KNOW!" Both Bocoe and Decoe shouted over hearing the conversation a soon as they woke up.

"Yup." Eggman said almost laughing.

"Then why are you letting him do it?" Bocoe asked.

"Because…it's fun to give them hope then crush it when they least expect it." Eggman said sitting in his chair by the computer monitor.

"Oh." The two robots and Bokkunn both said completely understanding.

"Now shall we get back to business? How well did Karst do on disposing of Sonic and bringing Tails to me?" Eggman asked.

"I can answer that sir." Came a voice from behind. Eggman and the other three turned around to see Igneous Rock pushing Karst Ice toward Eggman. "Go ahead and tell him of your magnificent victory Karst or should I tell him." Igneous smiled.

"I can handle it." Karst growled at the bulky robot.

"What happened?" Eggman asked.

"Well you see I sort of had a chance to take the fox and kill the hedgehog but…"

"He decided to have fun with them and made Sonic bow down to him instead of you master." Igneous blurted out.

"WHAT! Bow to you! They should only be bowing to me!" Eggman yelled.

"That's what I thought too." Said a very excited Igneous.

"Oh shut up tin for brains! It's not like you did any better!" Karst shouted.

"Oh no! Well lets observe exhibit A." Igneous held up Karst's arm and pointed to the broken glass case on it. "You see! His chaos emerald is gone!" Igneous then held up his arm and showed Eggman his green chaos emerald still in the cracked but still operational case. "And mine is still in my arm."

"You lost the chaos emerald as well! Tell me, who took it from you?" Eggman asked.

"Uhhhhh…" Karst stuttered.

"Knowing how INCOMPETANT Karst is he probably lost it to a little girl." Igneous said.

"Well…I sort of..." Karst began.

"SERIOUSLY! You lost it to a little girl! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Igneous fell to the floor laughing.

"Hey! She had a HUGE mallet in her hands!" Karst shouted.

"ENOUGH! You both failed miserably. Now it's time to see which commander will step up to the plate." Eggman said trying to think.

"Something wrong doctor?" Decoe asked.

"Yes! I can't decide! Bocoe! Decoe! Bring out my new toy!" Eggman shouted. The two robots got up, left the room and came back with what looked like to be a slot machine. Decoe then gave Eggman a stack of cards.

"There you are doctor. Half of these cards have a picture of the third robot commander…" Decoe began.

"…And half of them have a picture of the fourth/ last commander on it." Bocoe finished.

"A 50/50 chance. I like that." Eggman put the cards in the small case, shut it, and pulled the lever. Soon three pictures of a red half robot commander appeared on the three slides.

"Yes! He's the one! The third commander, Combustion Fire!" Eggman shouted.

"Combustion? You mean that greedy bitch!" Igneous yelled.

"The very same. Bokkunn! I have a mission for you." Eggman said.

"Uhhhhh sure, anything you need doctor." Bokkunn said.

"I need you to send a message to Sonic and Tails telling them what their next objective is."

Back on Karst…err I mean Christmas Island

Tails woke up in a somewhat wet bed again but it was thankfully more dry than wet this time. The fact that it was mostly dry did not make him feel better though. He wondered if he was beginning to develop a bedwetting problem because of these nightmares. That same nightmare just wouldn't go away. He still didn't understand it either. What does it mean?

"Tails?" came a voice from the side of the bed.

"SONIC!" Tails was completely startled. He didn't see the hedgehog come in.

"You alright?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah…I think I had another accident but it wasn't a big one like last time." Tails informed.

"Oh you did huh?" Sonic said pulling the blanket away to see the dry wet spot on the bed.

"I'm sorry…I bet you think I'm a big baby." Tails moaned.

"What? No way. I told you it happens. It's happened to me and it's happened to everyone else."

"Yeah but I did it two nights in a row." Tails said.

"So did I once." Sonic assured.

"Y-you did?"

"Yup. I had this weird dream that I desperately needed to go to the bathroom and I made it there just in time. Then I woke up in a soaked bed." Sonic explained. Tails couldn't help but laugh.

"That's funny." Tails admitted.

"Yeah. I hate irony sometimes. So was it that same dream that caused this to happen?" Sonic asked. Tails nodded. 'Hmm, man that's strange. What does that dream mean damn it?'

"Hey Sonic! You coming outside so we can leave?" Knuckles asked as he poked his head into the room.

"We're coming, don't worry!" Sonic yelled back then turned to his fox friend. "Look lets put this sheet in the washer for Antiguan then go and meet everyone for the farewells, alright." Sonic suggested. Tails nodded then pulled off the sheet.

Outside

Everyone gathered around to say their goodbyes to their favorite hedgehog and their new fox friend. Knuckles and Amy were preparing a new ship given to them by Antiguan for travel. Yaupon had been adopted by Antiguan as well. He had always wanted to be a dad. His first act of fatherhood was to fix the silver hedgehog's broken cup he made with his mother. Yaupon was happy again for the first time in years.

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy stood in front of all the towns' people and prepared to leave. Sonic stepped toward his parents and smiled.

"Mom. Dad. Take care of yourselves please." Sonic said.

"Don't worry Son we will." Sonic's dad informed.

"You take care as well and make sure to keep your little brother safe." Sonic's mom said.

"W-what? Y-you are gonna consider me as Sonic's brother?" Tails asked surprised.

"Of course. We absolutely love the idea of having another son to watch over." Sonic father said patting Tails' head. Tails grew excited. He actually has a family! Two parents and a cool big brother! Finally his prayers have been answered.

"Can we get in the ship and leave to where ever we're going now?" Knuckles said impatiently.

"Sure, next stop is Eggman's fortress…" Sonic began.

"Oh no it's not!" Shouted a voice from above. They all looked up and saw Bokkunn flying toward them.

"B-Bokkunn? I haven't seen you since the pie incident." Sonic said.

"I'm still not forgiving you for that. Anyway, Dr. Eggman has a very important message for you." Bokkunn landed, opened his sack, and pulled out a small T.V. He then gave it to Sonic and turned it on. In a flash Eggman's face appeared on screen.

"Listen Sonic don't even think about coming to my base because you will never be able to find it. I heard from a reliable source that you already defeated my first two commanders. Since you did I thought it would be fun if you defeated the other two as well. The next commander you'll be facing is known as Combustion Fire. He lives in a palace at Magma Mill. I dare you to go there. HAHAHAHAHA!"

"And I dare you to actually find a girlfriend and be able to stay with her for more then 2 seconds." Sonic joked.

"And I'm sure you just made some smart remark but what you didn't know is that the time you fell out of your shoes while you were destroying my lab I was the one who put inching powder in them. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eggman laughed.

"What! Why you son of a-" Sonic began before the T.V immediately self-destructed in Sonic's face. Bokkunn then flew away laughing. Sonic growled then wiped the black dust off his face. Tails also was covered in it as well since he was standing right by the hedgehog. Tails shook the dust off then turned to Sonic.

"Sonic who was that?" Tails asked referring to Bokkunn.

"A very annoying half robot half regular bratty kid that had his skin bleached black because of an accident that happened when he was young but nevermind him. We need to get to this Magma Mill right away. Come on guys." Sonic said.

"Hold on. I think I have an idea. Maybe only you and Tails should go while me and Amy collect data on the whereabouts of Eggman's base. It would be much easier for us all if we spit up." Knuckles suggested.

"NO WAY! I'm not going to separate from my Sonic again." Amy shouted.

"Well either you do and go with me or you stay all by yourself and be alone again." Knuckles grunted. Amy pouted then thought for a second.

"Okay fine. Antiguan do you have another ship?" Amy asked.

"Sure I do." He said as he ran to go get it.

A few minutes later

Sonic and Tails got into their ship and Knuckles and Amy got in theirs. As soon as Tails was buckled in Sonic strapped himself in and closed the hatch. Knuckles and Amy closed their hatch as well then took off. Sonic and Tails took a few moments to wave back to the crowd then they were off. They lifted in the air and shot across the sky toward their next destination.

At the G.U.N base

Rouge's alarm clock went off loudly and abruptly. Rouge didn't bother with it. She figured if she focused hard enough the sound would go away. It didn't. It wasn't long before Rouge just slammed her fist down on the clock and destroyed it.

"The alarm clock wasn't just put there to make noise you know. It was put there so you could wake up." Smoke said at the side of the bed.

"Well then they should fire the idiot that invented them. Waking up early is so overrated." Rouge said.

"It's 12:30 in the afternoon." Smoke informed.

"Damn. I can't believe it's that early." Rouge moaned.

"Wake up!" Smoke shouted.

"Okay, okay, I'm up." Rouge got off the bed and stood up in her purple pajamas in order to stretch. Once she did she went to the bathroom, took her bath, then put on her regular clothes. Once she was ready she made her way toward the airplane deck where Big was already waiting for her.

"Hey your up." Big said.

"Ribbit." Froggy said too.

"Sure am. So where are all the other G.U.N soldiers going on this mission?" Rouge asked.

"They're over there." Big pointed to a large group of G.U.N soldiers who looked incredibly pissed at Rouge for holding them all up.

"What are they all angry about?" Rouge asked already knowing.

"Alright men it's almost time to go on our suicide mission." Smoke said as he entered the room. "We will all be heading out toward a place called Magma Mill in order to seek out a red chaos emerald found in the main generator of the area. Our opponents on this mission will be a huge fiery kingdom filled with millions of robot soldiers, a dictator known as Combustion Fire, and possibly the two brats known as Sonic and Tails. Any questions?" Smoke asked. Big raised his hand. "Yes Big."

"Can we bring snacks?" He asked.

"Sigh' Yes. Anyone else?" Smoke asked. Rouge raised her hand.

"Can we bring along portable powder rooms? I don't use them I just think they're nice accessories." Rouge asked.

"No." Smoke said.

"Fine. Don't blame me when you all get laughed at for not having any glammer in your quadrant." Rouge said.

"Anyone else?" Smoke asked. Rouge raised her hand again. "What do you want now?" He asked impatiently.

"If a chicken had lips…could it whistle?" Rouge asked.

"…"

"I'm serious. I really want to know."

"…"

Back with Sonic and Tails

Sonic had put the ship on autopilot since they were just heading forward. He thought it might be fun to play a little game with his brother. It was Tails turn to pick they game and he picked I spy.

"Okay…I spy something…spiky." Tails said.

"Me." Sonic answered.

"Aw man. Okay, I spy something with green eyes…"

"Me."

"Shoot! Okay, I spy something dark blue…"

"Me."

"Darn it!"

"And the next ones' just a guess. Me."

"Whoa! That's creepy!" Tails said amazed. Suddenly the ship began to rumble. Sonic sensed danger right away. He took the plane out of autopilot then began steering again.

"What the hell is happening?" Sonic soon saw the clouds turn dark red. Both Sonic and Tails' eyes widened with amazement. They were almost there but didn't know it. Suddenly a large red tornado fell from the sky.

"SONIC! I don't think that's a good thing!" Tails shouted.

"Me too buddy!" Sonic grabbed the steering controls then tried turning around. The tornado slammed into the water and began to spin wildly.

"Sonic! What's happening!?" Tails asked a bit scared.

"I don't know. Usually Tornadoes just don't fall out of the sky without signals it was going to happen. Plus I'm damn sure I know they're not red!" Sonic shouted. They're ship was drawing closer toward the tornado even though Sonic was trying to fly from it.

"Come on Sonic! Can't you get away?" Tails asked.

"I'm trying buddy. The wind is too strong!" Sonic pushed forward even though his efforts seemed pointless. They were drawing nearer and nearer toward the thing without any hope of escape. Suddenly the ship just gave in and flew toward it at high speed.

"SONIC! I'M SCARED!" Tails was crying now as he held onto Sonic. Sonic held the fox as well in slight fear as well.

"Hang on buddy! We'll make it out all right! I hope!" Sonic said as they neared the now red sky. As soon as they were in the air the tornado disappeared and the sea when back to it's original calmness. It was as if nothing had happened.

There you all are. Hope you liked it. Like I say everytime I will update again. Reviews please!
