Flash quickly, but stealthily, ran over to Tails's house. As he approached the door he looked around to see if anyone had been following him. "Alright, nobody is around." Flash said as he knocked on Tails's door.
"Just a second." Tails shouted from inside. Flash tapped his foot impatiently, for he knew that he would eventually get caught if he stayed out for much longer. About a minute later Tails had opened the door. "Hi Flash." Tails greeted. "Hi Uncle Tails." Flash replied. "May I come in?" Flash asked.
Tails looked around for a minute and then he invited Flash into his house. "Sure, come on in." Tails replied. As Flash walked into Tails's house, he noticed all of the construction and mechanical work he was doing. You see, Tails wasn't allowed to do any mechanical work for anybody but Eggman, but he did find time to do his own little projects in secret.
"So what brings you here at this time of night?" Tails asked. "Well, my mom sent me here." Flash replied which caused Tails to raise an eyebrow. "Why is that?" Tails asked.
"She wanted me to tell you that I know about the chaos emerald she had now." Flash replied. Tails was shocked to hear this news and began to lock all of the doors and shut all of the blinds to the windows. "Everybody seems to be doing that now." Flash thought to himself.
When Tails was done, he went into the living room and opened his basement door that was hidden inside his fireplace. "Flash, I want you to follow me down here." Tails then jumped into the secret hole and fell down with Flash following behind.
When they landed they began to trek across a long tunnel, it was then that Tails explained everything.
"Flash, do you know the power that the chaos emeralds hold?" Tails asked. "Well, they have the ability to give anything energy and power." Flash replied. "True, but that's not all." Tails replied. "Chaos emeralds can manipulate time and space, nobody is sure who or what created them, but it's definitely a force to be reckoned with."
After a while they finally arrived to a stone door. "So why are you telling me this?" Flash asked. "The answer is behind this door." Tails replied as he pushed the stone door open to reveal a giant mechanism
"So what is is?" Flash asked. "It's a time machine." Tails replied. "A time machine?" Flash replied in shock. "Yes, I built this a long time ago to save a friend of mind, but there is a huge flaw with it." Tails said. "What's the flaw?" Flash asked.
"Well it's not so much a flaw as it is a missing piece, two missing pieces actually." Tails replied. "What are they?" Flash asked. "Well first we need a chaos emerald, and that seems easy enough considering we have one, but there's the other problem, we need somebody who can control the chaos emeralds to activate it the function of warping through dimensions, the machine is mainly to help go to a specific time." Tails explained.
"So wait, where do we find someone who can control the chaos emeralds?" Flash asked. Tails looked at Flash and put his hands on his shoulders as he bent down. "I guess your mom never really told you this, but you have the ability to control the chaos emeralds." Tails replied.
"Wait, me?" Flash asked. Tails nodded. "Yes, your dad was able to control the chaos emeralds, so when you were born, we quickly found out that you can too." Tails replied. Flash still looked confused. "But what are we even going to do with this." Flash asked.
"We're going to send you back in time to save your dad from being killed by Eggman and erasing this future." Flash stepped back in fear. "Wait, I don't fully understand this." Flash said in fear. "I know it's hard on you Flash, and I don't want to put you through all of this pressure, but Amy and I agreed that we would only do it when we felt you were ready." Tails replied.
Flash then remembered what he said at his mom's house. "I'm going to defeat Eggman." Flash said to himself. "I guess when she heard that she must've thought I was ready." Flash said to himself. "Alright Tails, i'll do it." Flash said with determination.
"Alright, but let me give you a warning Flash." Tails said as he looked in Flash's eyes. "You're only going back to stop Eggman from killing Sonic, any other event you do could cause something to change in the future." Tails instructed.
"Alright Uncle Tails, I understand." Flash replied. "And Flash, one more thing." Tails said as Flash stopped himself and turned around to look at Tails. "Yes?" Flash asked. "If you die without saving Sonic's life, there's no telling what could happen, however if you were to die but you saved his life, it wouldn't matter." Tails replied.
"Why is that?" Flash asked. "If you were to stop Eggman from killing Sonic and you lived, you erased this future and you would disappear." This scared Flash for a minute but then he realized that he would still live on a better life, with his dad. "Alright I understand Uncle Tails, i'll be right back with the chaos emerald." Flash said as he ran through the corridor.
As Flash left the house, he put on his black coat and saw a bunch of police robots heading towards his mom's house. "Oh no!" Flash said to himself as he ran for his home.
Fear began to take effect over him, as Flash began to feel the worst. "Had they found out about the chaos emerald?" Flash asked himself. As Flash got to his house, he saw all of the flashing lights and robot's surrounding his house.
Flash listened to the robots conversation to see what was going on. "Still no reports on the kid?" "No, no one has been able to find him yet, right now though Eggman is doing everything he can to get information out of the pink hedgehog about the seventh chaos emerald."
This sent Flash into a rage as he began to spindash and homing attack the robots. It's Flash, capture him!" The robot ordered. but they were too slow, Flash managed to make scrap metal out of every single one of them. As he destroyed the last robot, he entered his house to see Eggman beating Amy with an electric whip.
