1 Chapter 1: Where it all Started.

"Eggman! Surrender now and you shall be arrested for threatening the world in danger!" Tails said with a cannon blast aiming at him.

"What!? How dare you think I will surrender to you! Do not make me laugh and understand that the world will pay for what they have done to me! For these afflictions are not something to not remember!" The tall man said and aim his weapon at the two tail fox. "You have left me with no other option but to defeat you Eggman! I know that the world was wrong for afflicting pain onto you, but it isn't worth it to risk the lives of many innocent people!" The fox said with a tone of seriousness.

"So shall it be my dear old friend, if you dare to stand in my way and try to stop me from destroying this world than you leave me no other options as well, but to destroy you!" Eggman shouted with tears and fired his weapon at Tails as the fox dodge the bullets and return firing his weapon at Eggman. "You do not have to do this and put more burden on yourself! I didn't want to do this!" Tails charge at the tall skinny man and kick him in the chest and he fell on his back and lifted his weapon and fired again which Tails took cover after a quick backflip and behind a wall. "You would not understand Miles! You, always have so many people by your side, but you will never understand my pain!" Eggman shouted again and got back up and started to type on his computer watch on his arm and robots started to flood into the room. "Now I have you Tails and there is no where to run for you are out numbered!" Eggman shouted before Tails stood up and aim at the numbers of Robots increasing and Eggman. "You leave me no choice Eggman! I am sorry my friend, but you have gone too far with this nonsense!"

Tails fired his blast cannon, which electric surge through all of the robots and eventually shocking the tall man among his army of robots and scream out in pain. "ARRRGGHH!!!" Eggman shouted in pain and fell on his knees and lifted up his head to stare into the eyes of the fox approaching him with his blast cannon aiming at him.

"Eggman just surrender and give up resisting with your actions and think about what you are doing!" Tails said to Eggman who simply looked down at the ground with tears dripping down his chin. "Miles... How long have we been friends throughout these years.... Throughout those fond memories... Throughout the hardships..." The skinny man said while hiding something in his sleeve while Tails got closer with a mixed expression on his face. "Eggman... I will always be your friend... but I do not want this to end this way... not like this... I do not want my only friend to turn into a monster that he isn't supposed to be... what happen about the first time we met..."

Eggman hesitated when Tails were finally close to him and put his weapon away and stared down at the broken man. "Miles... I am sorry for what I have done to you, but I do not think there is any way for me to pay the debt of my undoubtable actions that have caused harm to so many people..." Tails lifted his weapon at him again and tears were going down his face. "I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed someone the most but I will make it up to you somehow... Just turn yourself in Eggman... We can get through this together." Eggman tighten his teeth together and looked up at Tails to reveal his mixture of hazy green and blue eyes. "Forgive me for what I will do to you Miles..."

Tails were about to fire his weapon to stun him until the skinny tall man quickly jab a metal object into his side and Tails cried out in pain and fell on his knees. "Eggman..." Tails colorful eyes begin to fade and fell forward and his head lay on his shoulder. "Forgive me my old friend... What have I done... Just to get revenge?... What have I become..." Eggman brushes Tails head and embrace the fox into his arms and brush his fangs backwards and wept for his friend afterwards.

25 Years ago.

A young fox looked up at a poster with a picture of a short man and long mustache. "Eggman science competition?" The fox tilts his head as his colorful rainbow eyes shines and brighten up at the thought of becoming a great technology expert and invent many things and to show off his skills and prove to those bullies and many people that he could do it.

"I want to prove everyone that I can do that... I know I can... I have to believe!" Miles said to himself and remember his Father and Mother abandoned him due to his two tails and the memory cause the young fox to tear up and bit down on his bottom lip not to cry. "I will make you proud of me Papa... and Mama... I will make up my mistakes and show you that your son could do it... for you..." Miles said and wipe his tears away and sniff his snot back inside his nose before making a grip in his hands and head off to make something that would blow everyone's mind.

A short chubby man sat on his chair while observing many creations in front of him of interesting gadgets and machines and proceeded to brush his long mustache while observing more closely while adjusting his goggles that cover his eyes. "I am grateful that so many people have decided to participate in my own science competition..." Eggman said to himself and smiles to himself before getting off his chair and grabbing a nearby microphone.

"Attention to all that have attended themselves within the science competition! Be aware that the competition will start 35 minutes! Afterwards, I will begin to inspect your creations you have created and decide who will be the winner." Eggman said cheerfully with a smile and many adults and children alike started to get fired up and prepare their machines and technology at their finest. "Hey! Look guys! It's that two tails freak! Hahah!" A single boy said while others started to laugh at the young fox while he was carrying his creation to the competition.

Eggman took notice of this behavior among the crowd and took his microphone. "Please be nice to your own competitors! This unneeded behavior will not be tolerated!" The boys back off eventually, after the warning and went back to their places to finish their own project as Tails tried to hold back his tears and found an empty spot for him.

"This spot will do for me." Tails said before wiping his tears and unfolding his creation which caught many attention from his competitors even the boys that was bullying him. "Hey... What do you think this might be that Fox have created?" A girl asked another girl who simply looked at the machinery. "I am not clear what exactly that might be." She replied and eventually went back to her machine while adults and kids alike kept glancing at Tails machinery. "This item connects here and... Let me not forget about this object that enhances it." Tails mumble to himself and connected the wires and parts together like a puzzle.

"Alright all contestants! Stop to what you all are doing for it is time for me to inspect your inventions." Eggman said on his microphone and stood up from his chair before dusting himself off and started to walk towards everyone with their machines properly at their finest and Eggman laugh out of good humor when he noticed a banana and a potato with gadgets attached to it.

"Very creative young one! You have potential if you continue to learn more." Eggman said and happily brush his head, which the child happily makes a joyful sound in return and the short chubby man approach many people's technology and inventions which was interesting to the man until he finally came across the young fox and was surprised that had two tails instead of one but the machinery he had also surprise him even further. "What is this creation that you have created Child? Can you show me what example it could do?" Eggman asked curiously and Tails grabbed his remote and press the button which the machinery started to spark energy out of nothing in thin air and music started to play, which was beautiful.

"What is this and how does this work child?" Eggman asked while observing closely which fascinated him and the music was very touching also to everyone in the science competition especially the bullies. "This machinery is a program prototype that could automatically produce the sound of frequencies depending on the location and could also make energy out of nothing due to the frequency being collected and the music causes energy to spark inside it." Tails explains while adjusting his machinery which another different song plays and Eggman smiles before nodding. "I can see that this is very unique even among all of these machines and technology." Eggman complemented and said to the young fox before walking away with a clipboard in his hand and started to sit back down on his chair before picking up his microphone.

"The results will be announced among you all when 10 minutes have pass so please do what you must, among ourselves and check the devices of many interesting technology and machines before you." Eggman said into the microphone to the contestants participating in the science competition and went back to reading the clipboard and checking a few of the machines that really caught his attention, but the most of all of them was the fox with two tails that gain his attention more and wonder what his name was until he saw a small doodle of a fox with two tails and a name next to it which was Miles.

"That is much amusing and such an interesting fox he is, indeed, but now that I know his name I am sure he will surely be the winner due to his unique invention among all of these machines and technology." Eggman said to himself, but wanted to be make sure that he wasn't playing favorites and check off some other unique machines he noted among the contestants and smiles to himself when he was satisfied with the results. "Hey Tails! Whatcha got there?" One of the bullies said with a grin before approaching the young fox which startled him. "Please do not startle me like that because it is displeasing to me." Tails said to the boy with an uncertain tone in his voice and begins to wonder if the bully really wanted to know what he have created.

"Hey! Do not dare entice me when I am asking you a question because I do not care if I did startle you or not!" The bully response to the fox before grabbing an object from his machinery and ripped it off. "No! Stop if you do such a thing, then it would cause the machinery to interrupt its own frequency and it will not be able to locate its own transmitter!" Tails were close enough to the bully and try taking the object back from his hand but a pair of arms held him back from behind which was another boy who was a friend of the bully.

"Hold it right there Tails freak! Do you think that you are better than us creating such a machinery before everyone and yet you do not seem to notice that nobody wants you here!" The bigger boy said while holding the fox who was trying to struggle and the other boys join in and begin to mock him and laugh at him. "Let us destroy this fox machinery while everyone is busy looking among other people's machines and technology and show this freak that he isn't welcome here!" The main bully said as Tails was forced to watch his own machinery he worked so hard on to be a reality as tears went down his cheeks.

"Stop please! You do not understand that you are going to destroy my machinery while it is still activated! It will cause it to explode!" Tails begged to the bullies, but they did not care what the young Fox had to say to them. "Will you be quiet! Unless you want to get tossed into the garage!" The big bully said as the main bully rips the last object from the machinery and the device started to shake violently and create a loud pitched sound. "Ah! What is that sound!?" One of the bullies said while covering his ears and the big bully release the fox and kick him from behind which launches Tails onto the ground and he looked up at his machinery malfunctioning with fresh tears going down his face and in pain.

"Let us get out of here before anyone discovers us and take notice that we were the one's responsible for causing this freaks machinery to explode!" The bullies begin to scatter back to their places within the science competition area. "I must hurry and fix the device before it explode! If I do not... It would be dangerous enough to cause injury to not only me, but also to others around me!" Tails wipe his snot and tears away with his right arm and started to fix his machinery as fast as possible while it was still shaking violently and producing a loud pitched sound.

Soon the machinery stopped shaking with the last piece being put back into place and Tails sighed to himself in relief and noticed that everyone was watching in concern and whispering to one another about the young fox and his machine. "..." Tails didn't know how to respond to this and turn back at his machinery which Eggman eventually announces in his microphone. "Attention all contestant's time has ended and it is time to announce the 5 winners." Eggman said with a smile to everyone in front of himself as people gather around together.

"This isn't good for me because I am missing an object piece for the machinery! I thought that would be the last piece that I have placed in!? What am I suppose to do about this? I don't want to encounter those bullies again..." Tails said to himself and begin to think of some way to fix this situation. "Hey, isn't that piece you took out from that freak?" The big bully said to the main bully who also noticed that he was still holding onto it. "Yeah, and thanks for helping me realize that I shouldn't be holding this around unless we want to get ourselves in trouble." The main bully said and explain before throwing the object piece into the garbage and the bullies eventually group up together with everyone else that was standing in line to hear the announcement from Eggman.

"Before we begin to announce the winners of the science competition just be sure to step forward when your name has been called and you shall obtain your reward." Eggman explains and looks back at his clipboard while holding the microphone in his other hand. "At 5th place is Julian! For the most interesting advance calculator." A boy took a step forward as everyone in the crowd started to clap together as a congregation to the 5th winner of the contest.

"4th place is Jessie! For a very interesting robot dog that could speak!" A female girl on a wheelchair move forward with a bright smile as everyone cheers her on and clap for her. "3rd place is Jason! For creating an interesting droid that is able to translate any languages." A young boy wave to everyone as he stepped forward with a smile as everyone clap for him. "2nd place is Willard for the best outstanding machine that could create almost anything with plastic material." Eggman explains as the young boy stepped forward and everyone cheer and clap for him.

"And the first place and final winner of the science competition! Miles! For making such a unique machinery that could produce music out of pure frequencies as well as creating energy out of nothing!" Tails ears twitches and picks up the sound of his name being announced while he was busy fixing his machinery the best he could and had no choice but to rush where the crowd was and the nervous and shy fox rubs his left arm to comfort himself and stepped forward like the others and there was a crowd of silence except a few kids clapping for him which they were curious to themselves why wasn't everyone clapping for him. "Everyone that has been announced please accept your rewards accordingly!" Tails were the first one to grab his golden medal and Eggman personally place it around his neck.

"Congregation Miles! You have won the contest." The short chubby man said and noticed that the fox wasn't as happy as he expected and question to himself why was that. "Hey! Tails! How about you play your music again from your machinery!" Someone said and among the crowd, which everyone agreed since they did enjoy the music. "That is a wise idea! Miles would you do the honors to show off your machinery to everyone that is here?" Eggman asked the young fox who bit down on his bottom lip and his fists shaking. "I... I am afraid that I cannot do that..." Everyone stared at the fox and whisper to one another about this. "Come on Tails! Don't be a freak!" The main bully shouted and Tails ears went backwards and flat against his head and Eggman looked at the crowd and wonder who said that.

"Now! Now! Such behavior isn't allowed in this contest! If Miles does not want to then there must be for a reason!" Eggman explains to the crowd and Tails tears were sliding slowly down his cheeks. "Miles is there perhaps a chance someone is- JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Eggman was taken back and surprise at the outburst from the quiet young fox as he ran away. "Crybaby!" The main bully shouted. "Hey! I have seen what you have done young man and I will be sure to report such actions to your parents!" The main bully was shocked that he was discovered so easily and the other bullies that was with him begin to scoot away from him. "You dare betray me!? It isn't over yet!" The main bully shouted and ran for it as the other big bully quickly followed along and the two bullies left the scene.

A few minutes later have passed since the contest was over and Tails were found crying on his cardboard bed in an alleyway with both his two tails wrapping around himself. "They poke fun of me... They call me names... They destroyed my machine and call me a freak because of my two tails... I'm not a freak... or a cry baby!" A short figure stopped at the entrance of the alleyway and noticed the young fox crying alone in the dark and Tails was soon startled by a sudden warm hand touching his hand. "Who goes there?" Tails said and looked over his shoulder and noticed Eggman with a concern expression on his face and a warm smile.

"Child... Why must you be alone in this dark alleyway? Where are your parents? Do they know where you are?" Eggman spoke with care to the young fox and Tails begin to feel the urge to cry again and bit down on his bottom lip which the short chubby man noticed the child trying hard not to cry and felt the need to comfort the young boy and soon wrapped his arms around him and Tails cried loudly while snuggling his face into the warmth of the man's chest.

"Papa! Mama! Please come back to me! I'm sorry!" Eggman realized what was truly wrong with the young fox and the man puzzle it together and realized that the child was an orphan and all alone without any support and any parents. "Miles... I am here for you... For now on... I will Help you." Eggman softly spoke and held the child closer with tears of his own slipping out of his goggles and dripping down his chin as the fox continue to cry and held onto the man's jacket.
