"Come on..just a little…" Tails began before getting an error sign on the screen, "Damn it! I almost had it!"
After Sonic and the others left, Tails had been trying to figure out how to get Nicole out of the city. He's had no luck so far. Everytime he was close, he got blocked.
"Well...looks like I'm doing it the Sonic and Ben way."
=Sonic and Ben way?=
"Fight my way out," Tails answered Nicole, who was in his laptop as he took out his energy ball arm cannon.
=Are you sure that is wise? What about your parents?=
"What about them?" Tails asked walking towards his closet to take out some extra gear.
=..You sound as if you don't want anything to do with them=
"..I thought I'd be happy when I found them...guess I'm not…" Tails sighed, taking out his medibot, shield bot and a ton of bombs, "I'll confuse the guards before making my way to Naugus. After I deal with him, we get out of here as fast as we can," he then took out a map, "But to avoid suspicion, I'll make it look like I'm attacking the council as well, so Nagus will believe I turned traitor."
=...Tails...= Nicole began as she appeared in the room via a swirl of data, "Are you sure there is no other way? I mean..." the lynx paused before sighing, "...does Sonic at least know?"
"He has his own problems," Tails frowned, "Why? Think I can't handle it?"
"No no...it's just...i can't help but feel worried about this…" Nicole answered, an unnerved look on her face, "I mean...we both know how Naugus is..and he'll most likely use this as an opportunity to arrest Sonic and the others."
"I already covered that," Tails informed her, shocking her a bit, "I've been planning this since Nagus first took over."
"Since…" Nicole whispered, her eyes widened in shock, 'He had this planned for that long?'
That day, Nicole and soon everyone would remember why no one ever underestimated the fox with the smartest brain.
Tails POV
I've been many things. Sonic's sidekick/little brother, a pilot for his plane, a Freedom Fighter, and the savior of the multiverse. Even turned into a god by absorbing all my counterparts and became…*shudders* Titan Tails. I rather I'd became a monster dragon or something that'd be cooler. But today I become a traitor...something that should've happened a long time ago. Honestly, Nagus had been in the chair for too long, and it's finally time to put things in motion. Sonic was a roadblock in this plan, then it got majorly delayed when Ben and the others showed up a few days after Bunnie disappeared. But Sonic's out of the way...he's the biggest threat to this plan. I know what you're thinking. Me? Calling Sonic a threat? Well, I have a good reason...he tends to screw up my plans a lot. Hell, during Lost Hex, he trusted Eggman more over me. Luckily, I made it all work to our advantage...being as smart as I am...I'm really lonely. No one else out there can match my intellect…well, except maybe Nicole, but of course that makes sense since no one is aware of this little secret. Heck, not even her fully. In truth, I made her...at least, I will at some point. See, between us, Nicole is from the future, but her design and her blueprints I was shown had my trademark on it. I wonder why i sent her back here? Oh well, a mystery for another time.
I approached my house where my parents stay. Had to for this first step in my plan.
-Normal POV-
"Umm hi mom..." Tails greeted as he walked in, only to see no one there, "...Mom?...dad?"
He then began to slowly walk around the home, which was quiet...too quiet.
"..." Tails took out his energy ball arm cannon and then put on some visor to scan for life forms and detected some from the living room, "..." Tails then kick his way in and aimed, "Freeze, scum…"
"SURPRISE!...?"
Tails blinked as he looked at the living room...it was just a party; a victory party for him and the freedom fighters for a successful job. His parents liked doing it since they missed a lot of his birthday parties….in fact, he still couldn't remember it.
"...Uh...hi?" Tails greeted, lowering his weapon a bit.
"...Is...everything ok, Tails?" Mina asked.
"Sorry. Just a bit wary…" Tails replied, "Had to be since we got ambushed a few times at Lost Hex."
"What have you done to your hand, young man?" Rosemary pouted.
"Oh, new weapon," Tails replied.
"...and those behind you?" Amadeus asked, pointing to the small orb like drones.
"My Strike bots. They fire all kinds of lasers. They're prototypes for my soon-to-be finished Funnels."
"...Funnels?" Mina repeated, blinking a bit in confusion
"Yeah... I had a lot of freetime in the basement been making lots of things…." Tails started seeing Cream and Cheese walking towards the basement before he stopped them, "Don't go in the basement."
"You make it sound like you got a secret lab down there," Knuckles noted.
"..." Tails whistled innocently a bit, making Knuckles sweatdrop a bit before the twin tailed fox turned his attention to Mina, "So...why're you here, Mina? Aren't you still on tour?"
Mina flinched a bit at that before sighed, "I...put it on hold. Some...'things' came up."
"Ash?" Tails asked.
"...Yes," Mina sighed.
'Ever since my little Titan Tails transformation, I saw all my other selves lives. From my anti-me life, to some future mes' lives and a majority of future me's are married to Mina Mongoose. Huh. Out of all the older woman I liked, she's the one I get...in fact...out of all the girls I liked, there was Mina, Nicole, and….Fiona…*sigh* still can't forgive Sonic for what he did. Dating her right in front of me...'
"Tails?" Mina blinked.
"Hmm?" the twin tailed fox blinked a bit, losing his small train of thought as he looked at the mongoose "Yeah?"
"Where are Sonic and the others?"
"Out of town." he replied, 'Tch. Always Sonic. I'm your future husband here, not him!'
"I see…" Mina noted, "A...are you sure you're ok?"
'No. We're not ever dating yet, and you're still talking about other guys in front of me.' he mentally groaned, "I am. Just didn't suspect the party to be now." he said before looking over to his parents. "But I could use some time to think about stuff like my future," he said looking at Mina, "Mina, what do you think of kids?"
"..ex..cuse me?" Mina blinked, a bit taken back by the question as a small blush formed on her face.
"Kids. I mean, do you see yourself being an idol forever? Don't you want to settle down have kids? Maybe two? a girl and a boy?"
"...To..to tell you the truth..yea. I mean..I became an idol to help encourage people around Mobius..but now…" Mina paused before giving a sigh, "It seems..I'm making things worse lately…"
'A husband's duty should be to keep his wife from having a sad look on her face,' Tails thought to himself as he used his tails to pull out a small box, "I like to give you something Mina."
Once again, Mina was taken back by surprise a bit before she slowly took the box and looked at it, curious on what was inside.
"Made it from shards of fake ,good fakes mind you, Chaos Emeralds." Tails said as Mina took out a necklace.
"..Tails..i..I…" Mina whispered, the mongoose having trouble finding the right words as she looked at the necklace, the emerald green and sapphire bleu gems shining off it.
'Good, she smiling. That's better than looking at a sad wi...'
"Mina!" a voice snapped as Ash stomped in.
'And my mood is ruined,' Tails frowned as Ash had just ruin the romantic mood he tried to create.
"...What're you doing here, Ash?" Mina frowned, giving him a cold stare.
"I'm here to take you back. We still have a tour to work on, plus we…" Ash began.
"I'm not going back," Mina interrupted, making Ash frown.
"What did you say?"
"I feel that I'm doing more harm than good right now with my songs," Mina explained.
"...That's utter nonsense Mina.." Ash frowned, "Much like what you said about that menace, Nicole."
*SMACK!*
"Don't call her that," Mina frowned.
"...She said something to you...didn't she?" Ash frowned, holding his hand over the spot Mina smacked him on, "Because if I recall, you hated Nicole as much as I did after what happened with the Iron Queen."
"Amy convinced me to talk to her," Mina informed, "I'm sorry for what I helped cause because she was under someone's control."
"How do you know? Maybe she did it of her own free will..much like what happened when the city transformed into that..that thing!" Ash snapped.
"And I don't think she was herself then," Mina frowned.
'And this is where I lost my patience. He's already talking to my future wife. That's angering me good enough.' Tails then made a motion with his left hand as a magic portal appeared and a long hand on a spring tapped Ash's head.
"Hmm? Wh..?" Ash began as he turned around before he was slugged hard in the face, sending him tumbling to the floor, "Fuck!"
Tails then made another motion as the hand pants Ash.
"The fuck?!" Ash cursed before flinching a bit at the cold glares Mina and Rosemary sent him.
"There's a child in the room," Rosemary frowned.
Tails laughing mentally then used the magic hand to give Ash an extreme wedgie.
"AAAHA! WHAT THE FU…?!"
Rosemary was quick to cover Cream's ears.
"Best party ever!" Charmy laughed with Vector.
Tails snickered under his breath, "...Of all time."
"...Ash…" Mina began as she lifted the male mongoose off the ground, "First...I think it's best you leave now...second...you're fired...and third...We're done."
"..."
"Here you go Ash, some pie." Tails offered, giving Ash his favorite kind of pie.
"...Grr...SHUT IT, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Ash snapped, pushing Mina off him and grabbed Tails by the neck.
'You know some days, I really do hate being smart. I feel like idiots like Ash need to die, but I'm a good guy and plus...' Tails started as Amadeus grabbed Ash by his collar, 'That's what dads are for.'
"Let...me go!" Ash demanded before Amadeus slammed him against the wall, still gripping his shirt.
"If you ever talk that way to my son...or threaten him in any way...I'll make sure every waking moment for you is a nightmare," the elder Prower growled in a tone that made Ash sweat nervously, "Do I make myself clear?"
'I hope he says 'no,'' Tails snickered before Ash nodded in fear, 'Damn.' "Dad make sure he leaves with his pie." at that Amadeus threw Ash out with his pie, "...3….2…...1…"
"Why are you coun…"
BOOM!
"GAH!"
'And boom goes the dynamite..or in this case, pie,' Tails snickered mentally. 'It's amazing what chemicals cause explosions at certain given times...now back to wooing my...' he began before...
"Tails?" Mina spoke, making Tails look at her, "Are you alright? I am really sorry what my b...ex boyfriend did just now…"
"I fight gods and aliens, save universes for a living, hon. I'm used to…" 'Oh crap. I called her 'hon.' Moving too fast! Abort! Abort!'
"Hon?" Mina tilted her head before giggling, "Honestly, have you been reading those teen magazines that keep insisting my nickname is 'Hon?'"
'...There are teen magazines?' Tails blinked mentally, 'Nevermind. go with it.' "Yes I have."
"Honestly," Mina rolled her eyes, "I really need to have a word with those publications about that."
'Okay. Operation: 'run away with nicole' starts in 4 hours. I can try and court her-been planning it since after the titan tails incident-, so just start with the easiest thing...trivia!' "So Mina, have you been in a band recently?" 'Idiot, she runs a band! Think first! I'm sorry, but I'm nervous! She's my future wife!'
"Are you okay? You sure he didn't do something when he grabbed you?" Mina asked.
'Do what Sonic would do. No no no! Don't do what he would...' "Since you're free now, wanna go out?" Tails asked bluntly, 'Crapbaskets! moved to fast again!'
"Sure," Mina replied, "Smells like Ash in here, still. My apologies."
"It's fine," Rosemary assured.
'Okay...too many saves. But I succeeded so next move stage 2, one be normal, 2. tell her the truth or 3. just say no….'
"I didn't say no." Tails sighed as he and Mina sat on a bench to look at the sky, 'And why do I feel like I just invoked a Gilligan Cut?'"...Hey, Mina, what do you think of me?"
"Well...I think you're brave. I mean, you've gone out to fight mad men for years," Mina noted, "You're also brilliant. I mean, how many can say that they could build a working surround sound speaker out of a toothbrush and a pyrotechnic suit or a blender from a log and a needle?"
"I was half asleep on both of those." he waved off chuckling. "But I don't mean like a person...I mean kinda like a boyfriend...maybe future husband?"
"Hmm...Well, I'm not really sure," Mina shrugged, "I think you'd make a good boyfriend, but husband? Right now, I'd have to say that you're kinda too into machines right now."
"I'm not." he frowned.
"Tails, Nicole showed me the photos of your bed being made of a mattress on top of scrap metal and a blanket made of tiny strands of metal and cotton."
"You don't know how many bullets my blankey has saved me from."
"...Blankey?" Mina asked, trying not to giggle.
"...Uh...Forget I said that!" Tails yelped as he quickly turned around using his tails to hide his blushing face, 'Damn it! Why'd I say that!' "...Ughh I'm not good at this." 'No duh! And we're supposed to be smart?'
Mina just giggled, "Oh, relax. I won't tell anyone. But I am serious. You sleep on a mattress that's on top of scrap metal. And one of them had you on it, sleeping and building a top."
"That's everyday...no, no, nevermind. Mina, listen; this isn't easy and you won't understand, but...I like you." he sighed., 'and here comes the rejection...'
"Aw….I like you, too," Mina replied as she hugged him.
"No, you're not getting it. I like like you just like how you like Sonic."
"...You mean like an older sibling?" Mina asked, making Tails blink twice, "I kinda lost interest in him a while ago and started to see him more as an older sibling to everyone in the city."
"Ughh….okay then i'll just use the bigger word i love you Mina Mongoose and i want us to have a future together." he said clearly.
"Oh?" Mina's eyes widened a bit, "Wow. Okay...Look, Tails, you just saw what happened with me and Ash just now. If...it's fine with you...I'd like to at least try a few outings before we try actual dates, okay?"
"I don't have time," he sighed, sitting up, "Mina...there's something I gotta do tonight and it's gonna make me a criminal."
"...Please tell me you're going to hit Naugus with a jar of Jarate," Mina informed.
"No, but I'm stealing Nicole and that alone is going to make me a traitor. But I have to make it look like I'm betraying everyone."
"...Have you considered throwing Jarate at all the members of the council?" Mina asked, "I know a guy that knows Jarate and can give you the stuff."
"You're acting a lot like Roll," Tails noted.
"Oh, she's a great friend to be with," Mina replied.
"Yeah..I..wait.." Tails blinked as he looked at the female Mongoose, "You know her?"
"Yeah. I did a few concerts at her home when I was just starting," Mina informed, "We got along great and her little brother Haseo was just so adorable. Did you know that he likes girls that like wearing purple?"
"I figured," Tails deadpanned, 'Well, this seems to be going well. Went from a confession to being about Haseo, and now any chances are shot. Sorry, Skye and Melody, looks like I'll have to try again if i can come back after all this.' he sighed mentally, "Well, I gotta get going."
"Hey, Tails? If you can, I mean once you're good and hidden, could you give me a way of seeing you?" Mina asked, "I mean, I'd still like to at least try a few outings."
"Why not a shotgun wedding?" Tails joked.
"Well, for one, I don't think you'd like to meet the guys that I know who own shotguns. And one of them may disguise himself as you or me and get you in the back with his knife," Mina informed, "...And another would probably set you and the chapel on fire."
"...Ugh. Alright, but here: one last thing." he sighed before giving Mina a small computer, "Something I got awhile back. Open it when you hear about my little event tonight."
"Okay. ...But are you sure you don't want me to contact these two guys I know?" Mina asked, "The Jarate guy and this other guy that can hide someone's tracks very nicely."
"...Did you…"
"I will tell you what he didn't do for me. He did not help me cover my tracks when Ash did a dine and dash while drunk five months ago," Mina informed.
"No. I don't want any help...I'm old enough…" he started as Mina was about to open her mouth and he covered it, "I'm old enough to handle this. Besides, Nicole is my responsibility. I have to make sure she's not misused."
"Okay," Mina nodded, "Just remember this my friend said once: 'Be polite, be efficient, and plan to Jarate everyone you meet.' Well, he said 'kill,' but I figured changing it would be better."
"...I don't want to meet your friend...no offense." Tails sighed, 'And this is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.'
"I'm gonna have to clear you guys all out of here." Tails sighed looking at his inventions which made chirping sounds, "Don't worry, kids. Nicole's coming with us. You just let Daddy handle the bigger problem."
The machines chirped a bit in response as Tails finished adjusting the suit he was going to wear. A dark-gold/near-black business suit with a black button shirt and dark-gold/near-black tie. His normal white gloves were replaced with black, leather ones. He was going to originally wear a mask, but decided against it.
"In and out...plain and simple. Gonna replace the crown with a bomb and watch it blow up in Nagus's face," he snickered, "Oh Chaos, that is going to be hilarious. But enough talk...time for Operation: Freedom Rebel to begin." he then took out a cd player and turn on lights to reveal a couple of Tornados he made, "Tornados launch!" he ordered as they took off on their own.
Meanwhile, within the slowly rebuilt castle, St. John panted heavily as a familiar figure stood before him from the shadows, the skunk clenching his chest a bit.
"Ahh...it feelssssssss good to have a body once more," Naugus grinned as he looked at himself a bit, "Thank you, apprentice, for letting me 'borrow' your body so I could regenerate myself.."
St. John was about to say something before the doors leading to Naugus' room slammed open, causing Naugus to change back into a shadow as he quickly went back inside Geoffrey St. John.
"Lord St. John! Lord St. John!" a soldier ran up to "Geoffrey" in a panic, "Bad news! We're under attack!"
"Is...Is it Eggman again?"
"Worse. It's Miles Tails Prower!" he said for a few seconds it was an akward silence before St. John went into a laughing fit, ".. St. John?"
"You're kidding me? His parents are under Lord Naugus's thumb! He wouldn't dare make a…"
"He attacked them first."
"...He what?"
"His parents never raised him. They only came back to him recently. He doesn't care about them, my lord." the soilder said and Nagus and St. John could sense he wasn't lying.
'Damn it. No shield there...' "...What of his friends?"
"We tried calling them. Sonic and the others are missing. I think he dealt with them first." the soldier said scared.
"Stop panicking you…"
"He has 100 unmanned planes!"
"...Leave...now."
"Bu…"
"LEAVE NOW!" Geoffrey barked, his voice distorted and his eyes identical to Naugus.
"Y-yes sir!" the soldier yelped as he ran out the room.
"How could the stupid fox dare challenge me?!"
"Didn't he defeat you once along with Sonic?' St. John asked.
"That was different! But no that the hedgehog isn't here…" Naugus paused as he left St. John's body
'And isn't he the one that defeated Mammoth Mogul, saved the multiverse, and cause the Great Awakening?'
"...Be quiet," Naugus scowled as he grabbed the staff containing the red Chaos Emerald, "ANd he was foolish, bringing machines to face me."
'Perhaps I wouldn't underestimate him. He has an IQ of 300. When was the last time you tested yours?'
"...One more word out of you, and I'll end you…"
'St. John' walked out to see the Tornados flying his way and laughed.
"Heh...this should be easy…" he smirked as he raised his staff, firing a beam from it as it collided with three Tornados, turning them into pure crystal as they fell to the ground.
"Evening," a voice greeted as the three tornado he crystallized reverted to normal.
"Huh?" St. John blinked as he looked up to see Tails.
"Long time, traitor," he waved, "But are you St. John right now...or Nagus?"
"What do yo…"
"No one has seen Nagus in awhile. And since he controls my land, he doesn't need to hide. So I figured he use some poor sap's body."
"...heh…" 'St. John' smirked a bit as his eyes changed to that of Naugus.'
"You bought this on yourself, John." Tails sighed. "You know that right?"
"Funny thing, kitsune..my apprentice wanted to back out after my failed attempt to bend the council to my will…too bad he..."
"I don't care what you tried to do." Tails said, making Nagus blink a bit. "Everyone here has dug their own graves allowing you to rule. I don't care about any of them."
"...Wait, what?" Naugus blinked in disbelief, "What about your parents…"
"What about them? They abandoned me as a baby. Why should I care about them?"
"...I...I almost want to make you an offer to work for me."
"You mean be your puppet?" Tails frowned.
"You'd get special benefits compare to St. John. I like your, how they say it, 'style.'"
"Yeah no." Tails said. "Listen old man, I just want Nicole and the city. You can keep that Chaos Emerald."
"...What if I were to tell you I know secrets about your family...or rather..the clan you came from?" Naugus offered, making Tails raise an eyebrow.
"I don't have a clan." Tails said, "I just want Nicole and to be alone afterwards."
"Oh really? Are you sure you don't want to find out about the clan your mother came from?"
"...Bang." Tails sighed, snapping his fingers as an explosion occurred on the outskirts of Nagus's kingdom.
"...Fool! Do you realize what you're..?!"
"I know what I'm doing! I'm making sure you don't get your hands on Nicole! I'm not going to let you cause another 'Iron Nicole' incident again!"
"...What do you…"
"I know what you have and what you'll do to the Nanties," Tails smirked, "You know as well as I do once the city is infected, Nicole will be as well as she'll try and fix it."
"...Grr…"
"Plus, don't think I had Nicole find out about your secret deal with Eggman. I mean, how else could he find out about the secret passage?"
"...you little…"
"So what's it gonna be? Let us go or go down as the worst king ever?" Tails asked as Nagus began to fume. 'Gotcha, bitch.'
"...first...let me tell you something..in the far north, within the frozen mountains lies a village..but.." Naugus paused.
"If you tell me this, then you have to do one more thing."
"What?"
"Let St. John go and never meet or use him again." Tails said.
"..If I do that…" Naugus paused before smirking, "Then he'll never find a way to bring back his beloved."
"Who said she was dead?" Tails smirked, making St. John inside Naugus react.
'What...did he just say?' St. John asked.
"So John...if you let him tell me this info, will you take your chances with him or me?" Tails asked.
'...'
'Do not listen to him, apprentice! He's trying to goad you! I'm the only person you can trust! He is lying! That wench of yours is dead!'
"Clock is ticking, John." Tails said.
'...For the longest time...after what you pulled underneath the city...I've wondered if following you would give her back to me...but then something else came to me...even if she was back, would she see the same man…the one she fell for?' St. John whispered.
"Apprentice…" Naugus growled.
'In the words of my generation...get the fuck out of my body!'
Naugus let out a gasp as he clenched his chest, black smoke pouring out of his mouth before he let out a yell. Plumes of black smoke burst from St. John's mouth as said smoke formed into Naugus once more, the mad wizard frowning.
"Tell me then." Tails frowned, "This info of yours and why I should listen to it."
"Because there..at the place I'm going to tell you..involves something quite interesting about you," Naugus smirked a bit, "Tell me..why is it that you have two tails while your mother and father only have one?"
"...I'm listening."
"...Here you go," Tails said, dropping St. John off somewhere in the Shazamazon and handing him some jewels, "I sent a message. Just wait here...and start a better life."
"...Why would you help me?" St. John asked, "After all the things I have done..the way I've treated you and your comrades."
"We were comrades once John. In another life if you didn't betray us. Maybe friends." Tails answered, "Yeah. I could've left you to Naugus, but you don't deserve that…" he started before seeing a figure, "And she wouldn't forgive us for leaving you to that fate." he said pointing behind St. John.
St. John raised an eyebrow at that before seeing a cloaked figure stand behind him. "Umm hello?"
'Hello..Geoffry," the figure greeted him, her voice all to familiar to the skunk's as his eyes widened.
"Ho…" he started till he was slapped once, then twice and thrice, "Gah! Bloody hell, woman! What was that for?!"
'Idiot!" the figure snapped as she removed her hood, revealing it was Hershy, "I get 'killed' and you help Naugus take over new Mobitropolis?!"
"I thought I could revive you!" ST. John defended
"I was underneath the rubble not too far from where you found my equipment!" Hershey argued.
"I was grieving, ok luv?! I thought I had lost you!"
"Hershey, I'll leave his punishment up to you," Tails saluted as he hopped into his plane.
"...P...Punishment? What punishment?" St. John asked, a bit unnerved by that.
"Hold on." Hershey told St. John before walking up to Tails and pecking him on the cheek, "Thank you for giving him back to me."
"I'm sure he'd do the same for me." Tails whispered. "Besides i'm a husband to someone too." 'Well I will be.'
Hershey blinked a bit at that as Tails took off, '..I'll never understand that young one..I'm still a bit surprised he found out where I was.'
"...Umm darling...what's that thing glowing on your back?" St. John asked as Hershey blinked and noticed a metal bug? glowing on her tail she grabbed it and examined it to see Tails's twintails symbol on it. "...how smart is that kid?"
=You shouldn't have to be a criminal= Nicole frowned inside the Tornado computer.
"If I didn't, my friends and family would be in danger," Tails reasoned. "I mean, you trust me. Right, Nicole?"
=...I do...but...are you sure you should listen to what Naugus told you?= Nicole asked as Tails flew through the skies of the Frozen North.
"...I'm…" Tails started before he saw something., "Hold on." he blinked as he went down to land. after making it he looked in shock, "Nicole, stay with the plane."
=Right..be careful, Tails=
"..." Tails didn't respond as he quickly got out of the tornado and ran for what he saw as he near the object of interest he reached for a gate only to be subdue by two female figures wielding Naginatas.
"Who are you?" one of the figures demanded.
"You better answer," the other advised, "We don't take kindly to stranger here. Especially ones in business suits."
"...Uh...I'm Miles 'Tails' Prower, Tails for short. And funny thing abo.." Tails began.
The second female figure began to crack up, "Miles Per Hour?! Ahahahahaha!"
"...But if my past life that I was told about is true, my original name was Hikaridesu." he said, making the females freeze.
"...Go get Miyuki," the first one ordered, "And for the last time, remove the bucket from your head!"
"Never! It shows my pride of my nation, maggot!" the other declared before she ran off.
"Hikaridesu-sama, please forgive our disrespect!" the female begged, bowing.
'That actually worked?' Tails thought with a sweatdrop.
"Is this him?" a female voice asked from behind the gate.
"Yes he said the name only we know no outsider could know thy lord's name." the guard from earlier informed.
"..I see…" the voice noted before the gates began to open slowly.
"Hello I'm apparently Hikaridesu…" Tails greeted approching the snow white vixen with nine tails, the vixen wearing a ice blue kimono that showed a bit of her figure, "And i was informed this place holds answer to my past and that's i'm its ruler."
"Hmmm…" the vixen narrowed her eyes as she walked in circles around him, "I could care less about the name, but you do share the same colored fur as him...and how long have you had two tails?"
"My whole life."
"Since birth? Interesting," the vixen noted, "And your name given to you now?"
"Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails," he answered.
"...Can you fly with your nickname's namesakes?"
"Hey, I answered a question, you should answer mine back." Tails frowned.
"I will not answer unless you demonstrate flight," the vixen responded.
"No. It's called common courtesy; to give and take. I gave you an answer. You should give me one." Tails frowned as he unknowingly generated dark-colored chaos energy in one hand and white-colored chaos energy in another, making the females besides the snow vixen bow, praying to..him?
"Hmm...Seems you do have the Light Chaos and Dark Chaos...but still no flight. I am not convinced," the vixen informed.
"..Why're you so fixated on me flying?"
"Hikaridesu could perform the impossible and fly using his own. Many of us here have tried with our own, but it was halted because of the cost of having the tails untied or put into casts."
"Okay, okay. I get it..and fine. I'll do it if it's so important to you," Tails sighed a bit as he spun his twin tails around until he was floating in the air, "There. Happy?"
"Good. You show humility," the vixen nodded, making Tails facefault, "Very well. You may ask two questions for every one I ask."
"You know what? This is a waste of time." Tails frowned, "I came here to find something out, and all you're doing is playing games with my head." Tails frowned, "I hate Naugus so much." he said, flying off.
A chains of ice grabbed his leg and pulled him right before the vixen, "Ixis Naugus?"
"Did I stutter?" Tails frowned.
"...You two," the vixen looked at the two females, "Get a bed ready for him. Should you have any guests, there are spare bedrooms as well. If they have anything to do with electronics, we also have amenities for those."
"...I don't have anyone with me." Tails said as he glared at her, "And I don't like being chained." he added as the chains came off him and lunged at her...until they shattered.
"I must say, you nearly dominated my control," the vixen noted, "Impressive."
"Shut up. You keep acting like you know it all. I have an IQ of 300, you're a slug compare to my brainpower!" Tails snarled.
"And I have an IQ of 310. None of the girls who live here have an IQ below 250."
"Humph." Tails scoffed. "From what, I heard only women live here...but from what I saw...no, what I can sense, you have a few men in here. Probably got lost in the storm. Did something that makes them worth staying...also I can sense it. Some of you women look young, but are older than most that you make the old ladies I know babies by age comparison." he said. 'Wait. How did I know that?...no how can i sense that it's like I lived here before.'
"He knows too much! We must teleport him with bread!" the bucket-wearing vixen shouted.
"No teleporting bread!" the other vixen slapped the other on the back of her head. "Only Hikaridesu-sama would know our rules and origins. He made this place, remember?"
"Of course I do!" the bucket-vixen replied, adjusting the bucket on her head.
"...Ughh." Tails groaned, holding his head.
"Hurry. Bring him inside," the vixen ordered the other two, "He's about to…"
"...Get out of my way!" Tails snapped, spin-dashing by them all and entered the village.
"After him!" the snow vixen ordered, "And, no, we are not teleporting bread."
"Huh?" most of the villagers blinked, seeing the flying fox whose hands glowed white and black as the females bowed, making the very very limited males look at their presumed sisters/wives/or whatever relation they had with the girl closest to them in shock as the females chanted 'Hikaridesu-sama' repeatedly.
"This place...know this place." Tails said in a trance.
"Hikaridesu-sama, look out!"
"Huh?" Tails blinked before colliding face first into a side of a building, "...ow." he groaned as he began falling, hitting a few things, "Ow. damn, my spleen, my leg! Ow, it's cramping...oh no." he winced preparing to hit the pavement till he landed in something soft, "...this feels like a pillow, but my brain tells me otherwise."'Sonic and Ben will be so jealous.'
"Hikaridesu-sama, Hikaridesu-sama." various females voices said as Tails looked up to see the females gathered around him, their eyes fillied with worship, devotion and love?
"Daijoubu, Hikaridesu-sama?" one vixen asked in worry.
"Umm sure miss…." he started before paling at the sight of the slightly familiar looking vixen, "F...F...Fiona!"
"Nani?" the vixen blinked
"You..you…" Tails started as his arm was covered in dark chaos energy, "You dare show your face to me?!"
"H..Hikaridesu-sama?" the vixen began to whimper in fear.
"I'll kill you here right now for what you did to me!" he said as the vixens whispered in worry and wonder over what their 'Sister' tribe member could've done to deserve Hikaridesu's hatered.
"Hikaridesu, cease your assault!" a voice demanded before a strong wall of ice blocked Tails's path, the snow vixen skating over on a path of ice she was making, "You are attacking an innocent!"
"She is no innocent! She broke my spirit, and destroyed my heart."
"How could she have done that? This one has not left the village since she was born," the snow vixen countered, "Gaze at her and see she is not the one you direct your anger towards."
"Oh, yes she is. She has the face...that horrible face," Tails snarled, before the guards took the vixen.
"Shall we arrest her then?" the guards asked.
"No," the snow vixen ordered, "She is an innocent, one who is being mistaken for another."
"She's Fiona Fox! There's nothing innocent about her!" Tails snarled.
"...Fiona?" many of the vixens blinked in confusion.
"...My name isn't Fiona, Hikarisedu-sama," the accused vixen whimpered a bit, hiding behind the snow vixen.
"You don't get to speak to me!"
"Hikaridesu-san, I can personally vouche for her that she is not this 'Fiona' you speak of. That is not her name."
"Then she's tricking you. She's good at that." Tails said, as he glared at her before looking at a castle of sorts, "...that place...that's my home."
"Indeed," the vixen nodded, "None have lived there since your last reincarnation, but the vixen you are accusing of has been making sure it has been kept clean and orderly for twelve years now. How could she be this 'Fiona' if she has been living here for twelve years?"
"She probably planned it out. She's a treasure hunter you know." Tails argued, still convinced as he waved his hand, causing the castle to shine as its gates opened.
"Oh for goodness sakes. Hikaridesu-san, if you are of an IQ of 300 as you claim you are, then listen to logic instead of anger. This vixen you accuse has been tending to your home for twelve years. Twelve years. I see her each and every single day since I live near here."
"Shut up." he told her.
"Miyuki-san." a voice said as a vixen in priestess clothing approached, "Hikaridesu-sama is obviously overwhelmed by his past selves' memories trying to return. He's just confused. Place Lily-chan in a safe spot and play along. Hikaridesu-sama will be fine once he sits on his throne."
"...Very well," the snow vixen sighed, "Lily-chan, please come with me. I am sure that Hikaridesu-san will be pleased with you later considering the circumstances."
"H...h-hai, Miyuki-sama," the vixen/Lily nodded.
"I remember so much...but at the same time, I don't remember." Tails noted, confused, "My head hurts." he told the priestess and Miyuki.
"Do not worry, Hikaridesu-sama. Once you rest...all shall be revealed to you," the Priestess answered.
"You...didn't I know you once?" Tails asked.
"In your past life, yes. I am Rao, the priestess of our village."
"Rao...san." he said as he looked to Miyuki, "And you have been in charge of my land while I was "asleep" miss...?"
"Hai..and..ano..it's Miyuki Prower..H-Hikaridesu-san," Miyuki nodded.
"...That can't be your last name." Hikarudesu frowned as he walked up to his throne.
"It is. Our hospital can prove that is my name," Miyuki replied, "The very hospital you aided in constructing."
"No. It can't be your name, because…" Tails started as he sat down on his throne and the dark and light energy pulsated through it letting off Tails's burden as his eyes snapped open and chains grabbed Miyuki, "My name is Miles Tails Prower the only child of Amadeus and Rosemary Prower, my uncle Merlin has no children so who the hell are you?!"
"My name is Miyuki Prower," Miyuki replied, "It has been the name I have always been known as and what I have always known."
"Get out of my sight if you…" Tails began before blinking he motion Miyuki forward as he noticed a strange kanji like birthmark on her left breast that read 'ice', "That birthmark…"
"Hmm?" Miyuki blinked.
"..." Tails then showed a similar birthmark on his chest right where his heart would be, only his read 'fire' as his brain putting two and two together...but part of him not wanting to believe it… "...Onee...chan?"
Miyuki's eyes widened at that before small tears began to form in her eyes, "O...O..Otoutou?"
"..." Tails rubbed his eyes as he started to cry too; so many things happening to him, "...leave."
"Hm?" the priestess raised a brow.
"Eh?" Miyuki blinked.
"I said leave!" Tails snapped as Miyuki and the priestess were suddenly teleported to outside the castle and its gates instantly closed up.
-Outside-
"Umm...what happened?" a few police officers (female of course) asked, helping up Miyuki, "Why is Hikaridesu-sama's kingdom locked away after finally opening?"
"It seems our lord wants solitude," the priestess informed as she began to leave, "I must look into something. Miyuki, you…"
'H…he's alive…" Miyuki whispered, causing the priestess to raise an eyebrow as she turned to see the nine-tailed snow vixen trembling a bit, tears falling from her eyes as they froze into small, crystal like ice shards, "H..he's alive…"
"...I think someone has something to share with the clan." the priestess smirked as the officers restrained Miyuki.
"Miyuki-sama, apologies, but you will be bought in for questioning."
"But…"
"No. The moment Hikaridesu-sama returned, you lost your place as leader. You were always a fill in," the priestess informed.
"You said that he was dead," Miyuki growled at the priestess.
"I never said a thing."
"Your reading to me when I asked all those years ago said that he died," Miyuki scowled.
"I said death awaited him. You took it as a sign he was dead."
"Release me," Miyuki ordered the two officers, "If I must go with you two, I will go willingly."
"Last time you said that, I had a broken nose."
"Because you then called me 'fat,'" Miyuki frowned, "And then you broke the rule we made about teleporting bread."
"Does anyone know where Lily went?" a random vixen asked, making them all blink.
"I think I saw her heading for...oh…"
"...Son of a Pyromaniac," Miyuki sighed.
"We best hurry and get your interrogation going."
Tails sat on his throne and thought to himself before sensing something, "Who's there?"
"...A...A...ano.." a rather timid voice spoke up as Lily nervously and shyly poked her head out from behind a nearby wooden column, "h..H..Hi, Hikaridesu-sama."
"Fiona!" he snarled raising his hand. "...ughh." he sighed lowering it, "I don't even know who you are or who I am at this point…Just leave me alone."
"..H...hai, Hikaridesu-sama," Lily bowed quickly as she left the room.
"..." Tails snapped his finger as she returned next to his throne. "I changed my mind. I have question about this land." he said, placing a dog collar on her neck, "Just so you don't try and run."
"Yes, Hikaridesu-sama," Lily bowed.
"Let's start with that. Who are you?"
"My name is Lily," the vixen informed, "For the last twelve years, I have been chosen to stay here and tend to this building, awaiting for your return."
"Your age?"
"112." she answered bluntly, "I'm still a little girl."
'Wow. 112 is considered 'little girl', huh?' Tails blinked, "..This village..can you tell me a bit about it?"
"Yes. You had it standing for 120000 years. It originally consisted of you and your concubines."
"..The name of the village?" Tails asked before mentally screaming, 'I had concubines?!'
"The Kyuubi. That's the village name; to honor the dying race from that time. You and concubines filled the village and continue to do so, mostly through inbreeding, to keep the race pure...you were a bit picky back then."
"...Wow."
"Then you, after being saved by a non kitsune, made the law."
"...What law?"
"That we must choose a mate based on their actions. Since then, we thrived even more. But your last reincarnation hasn't been here for….900 years."
"Huh? Why's that?"
"Clearly, it was because you have been reborn outside the village. One of our village members must've left or escape….because of that many of your descendants and children were lost. We went into chaos I was around for the first 100 years of it."
"And let me guess; Miyuki came along?"
"Yes. You know Miyuki-sama well, Hik…"
"She left me to die." Tails frowned.

OMAKE: Naugus's present
After the deal with Tails
"Here Lord Naugus." a soilder said, giving Naugug his crown and scepter.
"Thank you, slave. Hmm...they seems shinier than usual."
"Yes. The scepter and crown cleaner wash them goooddd."
"Ahh i see...wait...Scepter and Crown cleaner? we don't have stuff like that, you fool!."
"That's not what the Fox boy told me."
"Fox boy...was he wearing a suit?"
"Yes."
"And had twin tails?"
"Yes."
"..oh n…" Naugus began as his 'Chaos Emerald' and 'Crown' exploded, "..."
"S...sire?"
'...GRrrrrrrRRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
The wherabouts of the real chaos emerald….
"Kokonoe, you got a package," Tager said giving Kokonoe a box, "It's from your online boyfriend Mister Fox."
"We're not in a relationship, dammit! We have deep discussions on the latest scientific breakthroughs!" Kokonoe snapped.
"And yet he sends you chocolates new versions of your candy and ends all his letters with hearts and kisses and there was the time i saw you adding the same to you…"
"I swear, I will call in the guy that knows Jarate and put a hit on you!" Kokonoe hissed as she clawed open the box and her eyes widened.
"...three... two…."
"I love that mystery hunk!" she laughed insanely, holding up Naugus' former chaos emerald," With this(along with the one Kevin snatched from him last time)I got two now!"
=Can you let me out now?= Shard's voice asked.
"Shut up! You're ruining my mood!"
"..Kokonoe..I'm not liking that look in your eye," Tager noted a bit nervously, seeing a rather dark glint in Kokonoe's eyes.
"What? I'm totally not thinking of using these to upgrade every single organ in your body making my giant mecha tager a dream come true."
=Run Tager RUN!=
