Origin of the Boom Team
Chapter 1: Sonic Meets Tails
It was a beautiful day over Hedgehog island, the sun beamed down, and the coastal sea wind blew through the trees, which was providing a nice breeze to cool off from the heat which was more than welcomed by the island residents.
On the edge of the beach a cerulean blue hedgehog was relaxing in an open shack. He decided that it was time to take some time to chill out, as he'd just recently defeated a strange man who called himself doctor Eggman.
Sonic sighed in relaxation as he sat on his sun lounger, "ahhhh, after all that excitement this is exactly what I could use." Sonic muttered his eyes drifter ever so close to closing over.
The hedgehog was almost asleep when the sound of a plane engine caught his ears, they twitched slightly along with his eyes. He soon opened his emerald eyes and gazed up to the sky, he raised one eye when he saw a small yellow plane high in the sky, but something seemed off about it.
Sonic eyes widened when he saw smoke coming from the back of it and it was now stumbling down into the middle of the island. "Whoa, geez," Sonic uttered as he jumped up onto his feet, "better go and make sure if the pilot's okay." Sonic said as he zoomed off to where he thought the plane landed.
….
In the middle of the hedgehog island the yellow plane had crashed in a grassy clearing, the left wing was smashed to pieces and hanging over the front of the plane was a yellow two tailed fox, he wore a tool belt, goggles, gloves and shoes. He slowly opened his blue eyes "ughhhh," He groaned in slight pain, he felt rather dizzy and he was unable to stay awake and he fainted.
Sonic raced towards the clearing which he was able to find due to the smoke that was rising from it, as he skidded to a halt before the smoke, the wind from this was able to dissolve it allowing him to see around the area. His eyes landed on the out cold yellow two fox he gasped a little at how hurt he looked and raced straight over to him.
He turned the small fox over and leaned in close to him, "still breathing, better take to town and get someone to look over him." Sonic mumbled to him, he scooped the fox up and ran back to the town that was close to the beach.
Bursting into a small hut on the edge of the town, he startled a wolf doctor who was sitting at his desk sipping on his tea. "Ahhh," he yelped as his tea spilt on his white coat, he let out a sigh, "guess its just not my day to enjoy a cup of tea," he sighed in disappointment having recalled accidently dropping his other cup.
He heard heavy breathing and looked up to see the town hero Sonic holding a very hurt yellow fox. "Sonic my boy…..What in heavens name?!" He gasped.
"Please Doc ya gotta help this fox, he's hurt pretty badly from a plane crash," Sonic asked desperately.
Doc nodded and ushered him to place the fox on his medical bed, "not to worry, quick place him there."
Sonic nodded and zoomed up the bed and carefully sat him down, after a little while had passed Doc was finally done and called Sonic back as he left to wait in the waiting room. "is he going to be okay?" He asked.
"He should be fine, after some rest. When he wakes up tell him to leave the bandages on for a while for no more than a couple of weeks, and his wounds should heal. He's one lucky boy though, must be quite the skilled pilot to have survived a crash." Doc said looking at the fox. "Hmmm, I certainly don't recognise him do you know him Sonic?"
Sonic shook his head, "never seen him before, Doc. Must be from somewhere across the ocean."
"So, he'll have nowhere to stay then." Doc muttered.
Sonic scratched his head and sighed having not been used to sharing his living space with anyone before not that he stayed there himself for too long, "guess I'll take him in, till he gets better."
Doc nodded with a smile "that's good of you Sonic, don't hesitate to come to me if you need help with any medical issues."
Sonic nodded and said, "thanks Doc," he then scooped up the fox and raced off back to his hut and quickly set up another hammock for him to lay in. "Take as much rest as you need, kid. I'm off for a quick run." He mumbled, and he started heading out the hut when his ears perked up at the sound of yawning and groaning.
Sonic halted in mid step and turned to look back to see the fox sitting up, his eyes open half way his hands leaning on his head. "ugggggh, my head." The fox mumbled blinking his eyes a bit, he done this a couple of times and his vision returned to normal and he tried to sit himself up in the hammock.
"Hm, where…where am I?!" He exclaimed noticing his unfamiliar surroundings.
"Uhh, you're actually in my hut." Came a voice the fox was also unfamiliar with.
"Huh?" The fox looked up and his eyes went wide as he spotted a blue hedgehog wearing a brown scarf, white gloves and red trainers standing before the door entrance. "You're hut? Who are you, how'd I get here?"
"The names Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog nice to meet ya, and as to how ya got here, I saw your plane crash onto the island and I decided to check it out to see if the pilot was okay, so I found ya and took you to the island doctor, he said to keep those bandages on for a while by the way." Sonic explained as he leaned against the door frame.
"Oh, uh I see. Then, thank you for helping me." The fox replied staring at his bandages, "my names Tails by the way."
"Tails huh? I take your called that because you have two tails, never seen a fox with two before." Sonic mused.
"Yeah, that's what's so unique about me." Tails grinned adjusting his goggles.
"No kidding, so what caused your plane to crash?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Hmm, well I guess I've just not repaired it well enough this time, you see I upgraded my engine because I was wanting to fly for a long while and leave my old life behind, I had found a power source to do this, but I guess it may have not been enough," Tails said sadly in thought.
Sonic eyes widened "why would ya wanna leave your life behind?"
Tails sighed as he managed to now fully sit up and he turned his body so that his legs hung off the edge of the hammock and rubbed his head, "hehe aw you don't wanna know seriously." Tails chuckled slightly.
"Aw, come on try me?" Sonic urged with a raise eye .
"I stay in a place called the Mystic Ruins, that's where my workshop is, the Mystic Ruins is just a bit away from a city called Station Square its kind out the way, but there is a little village nearby..but…people always pick on me, so I kinda left for a while, " Tails explained as his ears flattened.
Sonic frowned and clenched his fist and let out a growl, "I hate bullies, tell ya what Tails you can think about it if ya want but I'd like to offer you the chance to stay here, I think ya would like the island life, plus it'd be great having someone to help battle egghead with me, and your plane would come in pretty handy." Sonic suggested.
The foxes eyes widened in surprise at such an offer and he tried to jumped down of the hammock, Sonic rushed to his side "whao bud maybe you should still be resting."
Tails shook his head, "I fine, just a little dizzy. I can't sit around I have to find the tornado and see what damage has been done."
Sonic raised his eye "the tornado?"
"That's what I call my plane, pretty cool huh?" Tails grinned proudly.
"Yeah it is. Well if ya aren't going to rest, I'll come with and make sure ya don't hurt yourself any further." Sonic insisted.
"I can look after myself, but the company would be nice and thanks for the offer I'll think about it." Tails shrugged sorting his toolbelt.
"Great, I'm just saying I'll come cause there's a strange guy going about calling himself Doctor Eggman and he's got some nasty robots. I'm not sure you'd be able to ward them off," Sonic explained while stretching his legs.
"Eggman, that's a funny name," Tails said with a raised eye.
"Yeah, I called him egghead once and you should've seen his face, it was hilarious, course I had got attacked by a few of his bots, because of this, but it was nothing I couldn't handle," Sonic laughed at his memory.
"He seems dangerous," Tails replied with worry.
"No sweat stick with me, and we'll be fine. Now come on let's go find the tornado. Hang on," Sonic said zooming up to Tails and grabbed his arm, before the fox had a chance to speak they both zoomed off back into the jungle beyond the village.
