Okay, it's here now! The सेकंड chapter! After about three या four hours of suspensful waiting! ------- Chapter Two, Blast From the Past! ------- The sun shown brightly on Tails' face that morning. For some strange reason, he felt happier today. "I guess that's a good thing?" Tails कहा drowsily. He jumped out of बिस्तर and put on a fresh pair of gloves. He then put his shoes on and walked down the stairs humming a happy little tune to himself. He couldn't help it, he simply felt good today. Tails dug in his cupboards to try and find some breakfast when he found out soon enough that he had nothing to eat. "Wow. Guess I need to go to the grocery store today." He closed the cupboard and made a सूची of items to purchase. Tails was preparing to leave when he realized that he forgot something. He ran over to the फूल and watered it. It had grown during the night. "If it gets any bigger, I'm gonna have to हटाइए it to a bigger pot, and possibly have to put it outside! Although I'll need Cream's help with that." Cream always helped him with planting things. He then left the फूल and went to his workshop. Tails punched in a code and the massive गेराज door opened. Tails walked inside. There was the X-Tornado, covered in a thin layer of dust. Tails climbed up onto the wing and dusted off the cockpit. He pressed a button on the side and the canopy slowly opened. Satisfied that it still seemed to work, Tails climbed inside the plane, and turned a set of dials and flipped some switches. Soon the X-Tornado hummed to life. Tails ran some tests and safety protocols before slowly taxiing onto the runway. Tails grinned at the feeling of sheer power that the jet possessed as it accelerated at break neck speeds. Tails pulled back on the control stick, and soon he was high in the air. Tails loved flying. It gave him a sense of complete freedom. Tails smiled as he looked down at the city that was now below him. He gave the control panel ahead of him a few pats. "Glad you're still holding up." he कहा softly to the plane. Soon Tails spotted a small open field a little distance away from the store. Tails flipped some switches and pulled a lever towards him. "X-Cyclone, transmorm!" He कहा enthusiastically. There was a rumble, then parts started separating. The wings rotated and folded in, making अंतरिक्ष for the engines to हटाइए आगे a little. The engines spun until the afterburners pointed down. There was a slight jerk as the rear of the aircraft विभाजित करें, विभक्त करें and completed the transformation process द्वारा revealing the legs. Tails pushed what seemed to be a throttle lever forward. The afterburners ignited and the mecha landed softly on the ground. "Aha! Another successful landing!" Tails कहा happily as he jumped out of the plane. He locked the aircraft's cockpit, and walked off to the store. -------------------- After Tails had acquired all the items that he had on his list, he walked triumphantly out of the automatic doors. As he walked out, he came across Cream and Amy. The two girls noticed Tails and greeted him. "Hello Mister Tails!" Cream कहा in her cute, innocent voice, "How are आप today?" She expected the लोमड़ी, फॉक्स to give the regular 'I'm fine' response, but to her surprise he replied, "I'm doing great, Cream!" "Chao chao!" Cheese came out from behind Cream's back. Tails laughed at his sudden appearance. "Hello to आप too, Cheese!" Cheese smiled at Tails' greeting. "So what are आप guys doing here?" he asked the trio in front of him. "Oh, आप know us, Tails!" Amy कहा in reply, "Just going on our regular shopping spree!" "Oh." The लोमड़ी, फॉक्स replied, "I just came here to pick up some things." Suddenly Cheese started shouting. "Chao chao CHAO!!?" Cheese started अभिनय hysterical. "What is it, Cheese?" Cream asked her companion. Tails looked in the direction Cheese was pointing his little rounded arm. "No, it can't be..." Tails started to explain, but an explosion behind him interrupted him before he could even say anything. "Cream! Run!" Amy yelled frantically to the little bunny. Cream started running, and a series of और explosions nearly deafened the frightened rabbit. Hoards of screaming people came pouring out of the doors. The whole building was on आग now, and most of the innocents had escaped from the sudden tragedy. As Tails and Amy walked away from the smoking wreck of a building, they saw a whole fleet of airships with an all-too-familiar logo on the side. "The Egg Fleet..." Tails and Amy कहा in unison.
