Ark-Fox chapter 2

Thanks to prowerboy and Sierra Zanimalini14 for reviewing the last chapter.

don't own any characters, if I did I would be rich enough to buy money.

(The next day, Eggman's POV)

Eggman was not impressed.

"How can I 'relax' knowing Tails was at one point in his life on the ark and more importantly... in another zone, yet knowing I'll never have another chance to data-grab the arks core? More annoyingly this could have told me how I landed on Mobius in the first place!"

He had asked Rouge if all the data and been acquired, and had stolen his grandfathers journals himself. But as it turns out, a number of crucial files involving Tails past, and well himself were missing.

More worryingly, his grandfather was responsible for Biolizard and Shadow the Hedgehog. And the files that were in front of him said that Tails controlled chaos powers to an extent, and as such Eggman was actually considering changing his priory's from Sonic to Tails. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't be much bothered, instead waiting for an opportunity to present itself.

But Tails worried him enough as it is. The fox's inventions rivalled his own, that in itself was dangerous, but if he was a chaos user as well there may be little he could do against him, and weighing that up with his current battle situation, he could be finished.

"But if this is the same Tails, why haven't I seen any powers?"

Frustrated, he brought up his own files on the Kitsune.

The first file he had on the fox was sent to him from the Battle Kukku Army (a branch of the Eggman Empire that joined in secrecy.) The fox was first seen on Cocoa Island, where he single handily foiled his plans using guerrilla tactics. Tails later on joined up with Sonic and the Freedom Fighters to fight him.

And when the mass Chaos Control occurred about a year ago, he became Sonics primary mechanic, and later on built the Blue Typhoon and stopped the Meterex by killing his own love, Cosmo.

Eggman took this into consideration quickly before pushing a button on a nearby console. "Shadow I have an assignment! Get in here NOW!"A sudden burst of air behind him signalled his quick arrival.

"Yes Doctor?"
"I want you to find Tails, kidnap him and bring him here... if you can, make sure there are no witnesses and take one of the emeralds to Chaos Control yourself back here."
"Consider it done, Doctor."

And with that he was gone, he loved how easily that hedgehog took orders, never questioning and no problems with morals, almost like he was one of his robots, except he was effective. Sighing, Eggman wondered where his plans went so wrong.

He was doing well in his war, and was on the verge of total victory. He had robotisized three quarters of Mobius and turned them into mindless slaves. Controlled 95 percent of Mobius, and was about to launch his final plans. But then that hedgehog burst in, and one mass Chaos Control later, he was on Earth.

Every battle on Earth was foiled almost single handily by Sonic. By fluke. These earthlings were nothing compared to the Mobians he had destroyed. Yet he was unable to take control of the planet, because of "ONE BLOODY HEADGEHOG." He was later captured and forced to enter a portal that Tails and Chuck Thorndike had both created.

But there was little for him to return to, as in his absence, Rotor had reverse engineered the robotiszer and the entire population of Mobius was back to normal, Sally acorn had taken up her 'princess role' and had united the nations of Mobius, and Sonics uncle Chuck had hijacked the Eggman Empire and was the new Acorn head of Science, and made Antoine the Acorn Warlord, though he took a guess that Sally was in control of this herself. (This in reality was quite accurate.)

The entire planet was back in control of these animals, and everyone was keeping a peeled eye out for Eggman. He needed a fool proof plan soon, or he would soon retire even if that meant admitting defeat. Coming up with evil plans was easy, but implementing them however, was another thing altogether without the use of his countless workshops and robotisized slaves. And if he did manage to create something it was soon destroyed by the either Sonic or the Acorn Army.

However he did have a plan, though admittedly he did not know how it would run its course, from his grandfather's journals he knew its endgame, its beautiful destructive endgame. And it could help him take care of his problems. "Let the Black Arms destroy earth, while I rebuild there in secret, AND THEN I SHALL DESTORY THEM ALL, AND MAKE MY DESTRUCTIVE AND VICTORIES WAY BACK TO MOBIUS, THIS COULD TURN OUT BETTER THEN I EXPECTED! HO HO HO."

And all he had to do was fool Tails, which was made easier with the information he had on the Kitsune. He decided to set up the first stage of his plan while Shadow carried out his mission.

(Shadows POV, a few minutes ago)

"Yes Doctor?"
"I want you to find Tails, kidnap him and bring him here... if you can, make sure there are no witnesses, take one of the emeralds to Chaos Control yourself back here."
"Consider it done, Doctor."

With that Shadow was off, taking the green emerald before leaving, he didn't know why he always took the green Emerald, he just felt... attached to it for some reason.

Kidnapping the fox wasn't going to be easy, the easiest way Shadow could think of was to find Sonic and wait for him to lead him to Tails. Finding Sonic under normal circumstances was quite easy, letting off a few Chaos Spears into a crowded area would probably do the trick, but for the Doctors plan to work he couldn't be seen nor suspected. Stealth was required for this mission.

As he zoomed through the various cities of Mobius, he asked residents if they knew where to find the Hedgehog, or the fox for that matter. Not one knew, he must have asked at least a dozen people yet no one knew even a general direction. "Not surprising considering that they're heroes, they must have a hide-out of sorts." He reminded himself.

He decided to go to the place he met Sonic yesterday then start searching the area, it was the best lead he had at this moment. Hell it was the only lead he had at this moment. With that decided he lifted the emerald above his head, after a bright green flash and a loud "FWASH" he was gone.

He appeared at the same palm tree he saw Sonic last in the Greenhill Zone, green grass still wet from last night's storm. "It must be about midday here" he thought. Travelling halfway across a planet via a Chaos Control could cause major jet-lag to the untrained user and was a good way to make someone lose their lunch. Looking around, he wondered where the hedgehog could have gone. Sonic was probably taking a break resting in the sun at the time, confident that Doctor Eggman wouldn't be able to attack again for a number of weeks due to his supply situation. "He lives around here somewhere I know it!"

His train of thought was suddenly brought to a stop however as he saw a blue line approaching on the horizon with a yellow one behind it, coming at his direction.

Knowing full well who the blue line was and potentially the yellow line as well, Shadow took a guess that they were coming to this palm tree and used this opportunity to quickly run up a nearby cliff to spy on the two.

As expected the blue line turned out to be Sonic, who stopped just in front of the tree, the yellow line who Shadow could now see as being Tails was a few hundred metres away and was slowing down. Even if it was expected it didn't stop it from being surprising that the fox could retain, let alone reach that incredible speed by himself simply with his tails.

Shadow watched as the fox stopped spinning his tails and brought them behind his head, brought his feet forward quickly as jets activated on the heel of his shoes, slowing him down, before he expertly brought himself to a standstill beside Sonic, just at the right moment. Any faster he would have smacked into the palm tree, any slower and he would have fallen over backwards.

"So is this was where he appeared?" the Kitsune in question, well questioned. His voice and body shaking with adrenalin.
