Chapter 11: Confusion
Without support we would break into thousands of pieces, our soul scattered to the winds, never to be brought back together again
----------- **** -----------
His eyes snapped open, blue eyes dilated as Tail’s gave out a blood curling scream, fright coursed through him as what he had dreamed and terror encroached every part of his being. Tears streaked down his face and he curled forewords, his scream tapering off into high pitched whimpers, reaching up with his hands he gripped his bags tightly as Tail’s clenched his eyes shut, ears flat against his head, body completely tense from the truths he did not want to face.
His body was quaking, fur fully on end as he tried to calm himself but found, as he held back the howls of distress that most of his functions were beyond his control. Misery surrounded him as he began to yank his bags to try to control himself, though he made it only worse with adding physical pain to his metal ones.
Then two gloved hands forced him to let go of his bags as they held his wrists in a strong grasp. Tail’s blue eyes shot open and he snapped his head up, Emerald green eyes caught his own and Tail’s went still. Sorrow was foremost as he could see but there was something else there that gave him a sense of relief inside.
Tail’s hiccupped as his eyes watered once again, then those gloved hands let go of his hands and placed themselves upon his shoulders. He could not stop looking as those gentle Green eyes and was visibly startled when the other pulled him against the chest of short blue quills that were much softer that you would have thought. His eyes were wide in shock, no-one had ever given his comfort, things like this were not meant for creatures like him.
But as he rested against the hedgehog who hand a tight hold against him he felt himself breaking as the comfort and safety he had never felt finally began to break the barriers around his heart. Burying his face into the others chest, he keened as tears streamed down his face, whimpers and cry’s escaped his throat as he gripped the others chest quills. Through his breakdown distantly he felt a hand settle onto his head, brushing gently through his bags and between his ears, while a voice full of confidence, reassurance and calmness talked softly to him. Slowly as his crying fit began to taper off he began to hear what the other was saying.
“…come on little one, things will be alright. You’re not alone anymore, I’m here. Don’t worry I’ll make sure to protect you…” Listening to those words he felt himself emotionally begin to pull away once more, placing barriers against himself and the world at large. Why should he trust this being who he knew nothing about, what was the point in the other to keep on trying? He did not understand.
His crying had tapered off and he lay quiet against the blue hedgehog’s body, taking what comfort he could to remember what it felt like when the other would finally toss him away and leave the islands once again to go back where he came from. Though, his eyes drooped as that hand had not stopped its gentle stroking, he would miss this small taste of acceptance that he had for the moment. That passed through his mind as he fell into a restful sleep, not realising that the hedgehog had already began to work his way into Tail’s heart, the beginning bond of friendship had sprung and would not allow itself to be extinguished or so a tiny part of him hoped.
-
His eyes fluttered open as he rubbed his eyelids of the sleep that encased them, stretching with a loud yawn, he blinked and looked around himself as he tried to remember where he was. Then everything shot into place and he straightened up in shock as all the events played back to him, though one thing stood out the most.
“I cried upon his chest like a kit, uhh damn it! I don’t need to be coddled by anyone.” He sighed ears drooping as he shifted in place, then he looked up to the cloudless sky.
“He’s not going to leave me alone until he gets what he wants, I just have to figure out what it is before I become attached.” Shaking his head he then began to figure out where he was and realised he was inside the hedgehog’s plane. Glancing over the edge, he confirmed it as he saw the Sonic logo on the side of the red plane. Standing up he flipped himself over the edge and spun his tails to get himself into the air.
Hovering around the plane he soon came to one of the sides and saw the damage that the plane had taken. Furrowing his brow he moved towards that side and worked open the engine cover. After five minutes of struggling with the damaged panel, he finally got it to open, but the whole thing fell off as the hinges had been caught in the damage and blown off.
Coughing from the leftover smoke from a couple of days ago he then took a look inside the engine and grimaced at the mess, balancing on the edge he then reached into the interior of the plane and began to catalogue the damage and what repairs were needed.
“Uh, that’s busted, that’s destroyed, they can be fixed, god this exploded it will need replacing, damn that looks nasty, there still workable but need a good clean, ouch! Damn metal that’s gone anyhow.” Tail’s pushed himself out of the hole and landed in a crouch upon the ground, then standing straight he titled his head up to the opening above him.
“I’ll have to go get my tool kit, I can repair it but… Uhhhhh.” Tail’s shivered as he tried to get oil off his fur coat.
“When was the last time that hedgehog get that engine seen to or even fixed?!” He spun his tails and went into the air automatically heading to where his home was knowing he had not moved anything from his den.
“It’s amazing he could even get it off the ground with how much muck and what else if in there, damn if he doesn’t have a good plane though, I’m going to upgrade it!” Tail’s smirked as he went towards his home, thoughts of what needed replacing, what he would need and the new components, to place the new features he wanted to install into the biplane.
-
He soon returned panting in the air as he desperately tried to balance not only the backpack on his back and the cases in his arms, but the heavy package that was attached to his legs as well. Sighing in relief at the sight of the downed plane he began his decent but did not judge the strain his tails could take, with a sharp pain his body plummeted tails limp once more. Trying not to panic he reached down and unhooked the package, letting it drop on the beach, then he forced his tails to work one more, yelping as the burn ran straight up his spine in protest.
To put it bluntly he crashed into the surf the waves sweeping him onto the beach and getting him covered in the muddy like substance of wet sand. Grumbling to himself he pushed himself to his feet and moved over to where the package was lying, miraculously undamaged from the rather high height that he had been flying at. Grabbing the ropes, he dragged it over to the plane and let it rest beside the fallen engine cover.
Untying the ropes he let the tarp covering the package fall and revealed why nothing hade been damaged, various pieces of engine produce was lying upon a metallic blue coloured metal, that was the same size of the piece that had fallen. Shifting things about Tail’s was satisfied to find everything was relatively undamaged if slightly battered, but still usable for what he had in mind. Returning to the place he had washed up from his fall, he picked up the two cases and also brought them over to the side of the plane, making sure to leave the closed as they were not needed at this moment in time.
Moving the backpack from his shoulders he placed it upon the ground and unzipped it, reaching inside he bought out a rectangular shaped box that had various designs upon it that he did not understand. Flipping the latch, he opened it carefully and smiled at the contents, after making sure all the components were untouched by the salty water, because inside was his pride and joy the only thing that had ever been a constant in his world.
A mechanics toolkit that also included an electricians set and a metal working set. It had saved his life in the past with finding he was able to naturally fixed things after studying the contents only once. With his knowledge he had been able to teach himself how to survive, to use things that people thought were broken and only needed a few things to be repaired.
It was a fact that if the person who had chucked this out had not, Tail’s would not be alive to this day and age. He would not have been able to fix a heater to keep him warm, create a holographic projector to protect his den and an alarm system that he installed to tell him if any intruders or townspeople came near to his home. If not for that toolkit, Tail’s would have been a dead kit.
Winding his tails, he moved up to the opening and settled on the edge again. Using the magnetic device on the base of the kit, he soon had it stuck beside the opening, then grabbing a wrench he moved back into the mass of pipes to begin the full overhaul. Tail’s mouth curled up into a smirk as he delved into the challenge ‘let the recreation begin’.
-
Tail’s fell back with a thump as he reached up to take the goggles that were covering his eyes off and the breathing mask from his face. He gazed up at his work and felt a burst of satisfaction as he saw the finished produce of hours of strenuous labour. Metallic blue gleamed in the sun having been newly cleaned and polished after being applied to the metal, red letters that had the word ‘Sonic’ stretched across both sides of the plane. On the wings that had been filed down, smoothed and also had the finishing paint and polish were also the same metallic blue colour.
Underneath the word ‘Sonic’ was a darker red line that was wide under the ‘S’ and got thinner as it went further back. On the wings and Tail on both sides was two fox tails that were twisted together. It was a small touch in wanting to remind the Hedgehog when he left who he was, or so some part of him hoped. Grinning outright he whooped in glee as pride swarmed through him. Not only had he redone the outside and brought it back to a new like state, he had also replaced the engine and even left a special gift to the only one to ever show him kindness.
A transformation sequence for the plane to go from its normal mode to the jet mode, a handy feature he felt that the other would need in the future he could feel it and he was barely ever wrong. The smile fell from his face as he realised he was done, looking around his shoulders slumped and he moved to place his kit back into his backpack. Swinging it on and then moved over to the two cases that were standing open all equipment packed away.
Reaching inside he typed into a small keypad and instantly the two cases turned on. 8 spider like legs emerged as they snapped shut, standing upright, following the instructions he had placed into their processers, they made their way to the forest and slipped inside to go back to the den where he had programmed them to go after he was finished with them. That way he did not have to carry them back again, though he could never find out how to do it in reverse so they could come to where he needed to go, he shook his head, he would figure it out later.
Moving to the plane he hover up to the cockpit and placed a letter he had written to the hedgehog in place of telling the other, he was never good at confrontations. Placing it onto the seat he then flew back to the ground and went to check that the fire, which was melting the other metal pieces would not spread, before leaving intending on not seeing the other again.

*Hour later*
A gloved hand was gripping the side of the plane tightly as his other hand held the paper delicately, green eyes running over the messily scrawled words in a frantic motion.
To Sonic the Hedgehog,
Hi, I know we have not spoken much in the past few time we have met but I am Mile Prower known as Tail’s to the Westside Islands. I have taken the time to think about what I was going to write here for you as a goodbye but could not think of anything so I have placed what is needed.
I have changed certain things about your plane for you and it’s not just the paintwork, clean, smooth wings or polish that has given your plane an all new look. It is the mechanics of the engine that I have also upgraded for you. I have been able to make the plane 5x faster, 10x stronger, 7x agility and have even installed several more mini machine guns in the wings and close to the nose. I had a feeling in the future soon you would be needing them.
I have also installed a surprise for you but I will not say, for it is for you to find out in the direst situation and no other. It is a parting gift to you for when you leave these islands, the logo of the Tail’s on the tail and wings are to be a reminder of the one who upgraded and reformed the plane.
It is named the Tornado if you want to use it as it could even fly through one if the situation called for it. Well that’s all I have made my leave of your presence and hope you will remember me in some context in the future. I was grateful for someone to acknowledge me and have been very happy in those short intervals that we spoke or even fought together even if it was only once.
I want to apologise too the words that I spoke to you the first time we met face to face, I had wanted to actually speak to you but the situation at the time had me in a full panic and I was terrified by anyone coming near me as I seem to curse anything good that comes my way. This is a reason why I have left, so I can remember something that is not dark or hurtful but beautiful and comforting.
Thankyou for showing me how to care for others as I had forgotten, I will carry the joy you have given me in my heart of hearts as I weather the dark times that will come this winter.
Now I bid you goodbye and good luck on your journey Sonic the Hedgehog, may the 9 tails guide you on your way.
Yours Sincerely
Tail’s the Kitsune
Sonic’s eyes were narrowed as he looked up and folded the letter to place it into his glove for safe keeping. Zipping off into the wood he cursed to himself for leaving the kit alone, knowing he had to find the other before Tail’s got caught by the robots now patrolling Emerald Hill.
“Damnit Kit! Where the hell you gone?!”
-
*Forest of Emerald Hill, Path to the City of Unda Urbs – Novern Domus*
Tail’s stared in bewilderment at the strangest thing he had ever seen, his blue eyes followed its movement as it buzzed back and forth across the clearing. His body was still as it could be as several more joined the one already in the clearing, he studied it’s body as he could from where he crouched and finally realised it was a wasp or bee robot, he blinked bewildered at the strangeness of the thing as the jet propelled robots suddenly stopped, hovering in place.
That was when he heard the buzzing that increased in volume behind him, having involuntary stiffened he turned his head and saw one of the robots facing him. Its optics fastened straight on him as the tail, which was face in his direction, glowed threateningly, wide eyed he gulped as the glow got more pronounced as the buzzing of the other robots surrounded him.

End Chapter 11

Well hope you liked that, the plane is complete and finally the journey is beginning. Though I had to separate Sonic and Tail’s again didn’t I? Heh well it will all come together, now Tail’s is actually beginning to see the other as a friend and ally though he does not realise it yet. Did I convey his confusion enough through the letter and his actions? I tried my best to show the confusion confliction Tail’s is feeling that this moment in time…

Translation:
Latin to English
Unda Urbs – Novern Domus = Water City – Nine Home (Basically the ancient city of the Kitsune, it was named the Nine Home due to the 9 tailed kitsune who ruled there. It was a place that was mainly run on water, a city that lived under and above the waves.

*Forest of Emerald Hill, Path to the City of Unda Urbs – Novern Domus*
Tail’s stared in bewilderment at the strangest thing he had ever seen, his blue eyes followed its movement as it buzzed back and forth across the clearing. His body was still as it could be as several more joined the one already in the clearing, he studied it’s body as he could from where he crouched and finally realised it was a wasp or bee robot, he blinked bewildered at the strangeness of the thing as the jet propelled robots suddenly stopped, hovering in place.

There are still a lot I am hashing out with this series but it is beginning to come together quite nicely. There are some oneshots I am considering like from the Chaotix point of views and stuff but I will think more into it later. Anyhow this is the main lot that have come together, the series above with the Darkening Stories is not complete yet, i am still considering if I need to bring in any other genres or games to balance the story line.
If anyone ever has ideas when they read my fic, or even just wants me to add a character to the list of Oneshots then please send me a message or something. I am happy to accept all notions.
