Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 14

Chapter 14 - London

INT. Outside of base – Night

Sally and the others were watching as the soldiers marched by, Sonic came over to them.

Sally: Any luck?

Sonic: He just promoted us to look for Li Moon while they investigate at the base.

Knuckles: What?! I thought you stopped the mission!!

Sonic: Well, I tried but he wouldn’t let me.

Elias marched by them saying: ‘Let’s move! We’re off to London!’ The Sonic heroes just all looked at each other in frustration.

Bambi: London? Wait, I just remembered that Rudolph is doing a speech there at the new Creation Museum tomorrow morning.

Sonic: Really?

Amy: Maybe we should go meet with him. After all, we’ve been promoted, right?

Sonic (realizing): Yes, we have! We’ll go meet them!

Then they went over to the jeep that was waiting for them.

CUT TO: London – Sunrise

We see the Big Ben and the city of London behind it, to the right across the river was the London Eye.

INT. The Bloom Chester hotel lobby – Sunrise

Tails and Li Moon were receiving maps of the city and the tourist attractions.

Li Moon (happy): This is so, cool! I’ve never been to London, or a fancy hotel!

Tails: I know, I’m relieved that we made it here safely.

Li Moon: Yeah me too. I don't see why Elias is doing all of this... 

Tails: Yeah, I'm ashamed of him...Let’s head up to that room I told you about. You’re going to love it. And let's get outta sight before they get here...

Li Moon followed Tails into the elevator.

CUT TO: 5^th floor – Sunrise

Li Moon and Tails walk through the hallway, and they come up to room 503. Tails pulled out the key to the door and said: ‘Prepare to be amazed.’ He opened the door to the room.

INT. Room 503 – Sunrise

Li Moon gasped when she saw the luxury room, white floors, red walls and white ceilings were just part of the room. There was a small kitchen and a master bedroom. She turned to Tails and just kissed him. She let go of him and said: ‘This is so cool! I’ve always wanted a room like this!’

Tails: I know. Come on.

They walked to a large window and snuggled against each other.

Li Moon: I can’t believe you could afford this room.

Tails: It’s something I’d do for someone I love.

Li Moon: What about your friends?

Tails froze, he thought about what they were doing and that they're on the mission with Elias too. Then he said: ‘Maybe…I don’t know…’

Li Moon: They’re your friends, you would do something like this for them, right?

Tails: Oh…yeah I sure would.

Li Moon looked into his eyes and said: ‘I thought you would.’

Tails: Yeah well…I don’t know what to say right now…

Li Moon: Is something wrong?

Tails: No, no, I’m fine, I couldn’t be better.

Li Moon let go of Tails and looked into his eyes.

Li Moon: I won’t let you go.

Tails: Nor I, Li Moon.

After a moment of silence, Tails began walking to the exit.

Li Moon: Where’re you going?

Tails: I’ve got something to do. After all, I need to protect you. Just go relax in the hot bath or something, I’ll be back soon.

Li Moon: Alright, foxy. I’ll do that.

Tails smiled as he went out the door as Li Moon looked out the window, wondering what’s up with him.

EXT. Hallway - Sunrise

Tails closed the door behind him and he examined a radar, he spots two Chaos Emeralds in the city, they're being transported to safety from the evil hands out there.

Tails: I can use those. I do need to protect Li Moon.

With that, he left to go find the Chaos Emeralds. 

EXT. London police department – Sunrise

Sonic and friends are waiting for Elias to come.

Bambi: So, Sonic, what’s the plan?

Sonic: Well, we’re going to sneak out while we’re pretending to search for Li Moon, when we do, we’ll go get Rudolph so we can stop this once and for all.

Amy: I can’t wait to see the new museum.

Faline: Neither can I.

Then Elias walked to the heroes.

Elias: You paged me?

Sonic: Yeah we sure did. We were going out to find Li Moon so we can eliminate her.

Elias: Good choice, we’ll send you out in the eastern part of London. I want you guys to investigate carefully.

Sonic: You got it, Elias.

They began to leave.

Elias: Oh, and one more thing.

They stopped and looked back at him.

Elias: I don’t want any slacking off, I’ll know if you do start slacking.

Sonic: Yes sir.

Then they went outside to go find Rudolph of course.

EXT. Outside London police department – Sunrise

Sonic and friends are walking to a black truck to ride to the new museum. Then a police officer came over to them.

Officer: Sonic, we’re currently looking for Tails, just like the Ugandan and Indian police wanted.

Sonic: You are? But wasn't he in the Ugandan wilderness?

Officer: Yes. But Elias was concerned about the mysterious figure with her that Nicole saw.

Sonic: Do you think that's Tails?

Officer: Yes, and we’ve been hoping to find him in this city. After all, he doesn’t seem to have booked any flights right now.

Sonic: Well, can you let us know if he does?

Officer: We sure can. In addition to that, we haven’t found a trace of Li Moon anywhere.

Knuckles: Uh…you haven’t?

Officer: No. We've got police all over the place, but no leads.

Sonic rubbed the back of his head and said 'Well, we gotta go. Duty calls.'

Officer: Have a good one.

Then the heroes entered the truck. Sonic got in the driver’s seat and cranked the truck up.

Sally: Sonic, they’re trying to find Tails.

 
Sonic: I know, I can’t wait to see him again.

Then they drove off.

End of chapter 14

AN: Clever aren’t they? But just HOW clever? And will Tails get the Chaos Emeralds? We’ll find out.

Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 13

Chapter 13 – A promotion

EXT. Main part of base – Night

Elias and the officers are investigating for Li Moon .Sonic went over to Elias.

Sonic: Elias.

Elias: What is it, Sonic?

Sonic: Me and my friends aren’t feeling right with this mission anymore. I want to put a stop to it at once.

Elias: Well, you can stop right now.

Sonic: What?

Elias: Sonic, if you’re not feeling right with your position right now, why don’t we send you out to investigate?

Sonic: Well, I was hoping to…

Elias: Here’s the thing, we’ll keep searching while you head out to find her. I also want you to do a good job too. No slacking off.

Sonic: But Elias…

Elias: Sonic, I now promote you to search for any fugitives. Let’s move.

Nicole appeared beside them.

Elias: Oh look, you’re back.

Nicole: I’ve got a reading on Li Moon.

Elias: You do? Where’s she heading?

Nicole: Well, I saw that she was getting on a plane to London.

Sonic: London?

Nicole: Yes, and I was wondering who she was with too.

Sonic and Elias looked at each other.

Sonic: Who could it…?

Elias: I don’t know.

He then went over to a table and picked up a radio.

Elias (into radio): Commander, we’re continuing to London. We just learned that the target is heading in that direction. Contact the London police so we can meet up with them.

Commander (radio): Copy that.

Elias put the radio down and said to Sonic: ‘What’re you waiting for, Chinese New Year? Go! Go!’ Sonic had no other option but to do that.

 

End of chapter 13

AN: I know, short chapter, but we’re not done with the story yet.

Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 12

Chapter 12 – A night in India

EXT. Outside the Children's department – Night

Bambi and Faline are waiting for Sonic to come pick them up. They were sitting on a bench looking up at the clear night. Then they saw shooting stars zip through the sky.

Bambi: Wow.

Faline: Cool.

Bambi looked at his wristwatch and asked: 'When's Sonic coming?'

Faline: They said that they were on their way.

Bambi: Oh yeah. That was some party, huh?

Faline: Yeah. The kids just love to play around.

They looked up into the sky again, then they heard a vehicle. They looked to their left and they see that a jeep is parking in the parking lot.

Faline: I think that's them.

They went over to the vehicle; Sally got out and greeted them.

Bambi (smiling): So, you decided to show up?

Sally (smiling): Yeah. It's so good to see you guys again!

Then she hugged both of them as the others got out.

Sonic (smiling): Well, how's the Bambster been doing here in India?

Bambi (smiling): Sonic, I've lived a dream!

Faline (smiling): I'm so happy to see all of you! And you know that kids can be a little icky sometimes.

Sonic (smiling): I know.

Bambi let go of Sally and noticed Tails wasn't with them.

Bambi: Sonic, what's with the police sirens wailing louder than usual?

Faline: Yeah. Is something going on?

Bambi: I also want to know where Tails is.

Sonic looked at Sally and she nodded her head, Sonic looked at the curious deer and said: 'Tails isn't with us, Elias brought us a message and Tails broke out and is lost somewhere. We couldn't find him.'

Bambi: What happened?

Sonic: Well, there's a concern that a shapeshifter known as the Kaftar is out there. We've been called to eliminate those who support and worship the Kaftar and other shapeshifters.

Faline: Shapeshifters? They're myths. And why would you kill people for just having another religion aside from the Truth?

Sonic: Because the Kaftar's real and Elias is out there right now to eliminate those who worship the shifters.

Knuckles: Speaking of Elias, shouldn't we get back to him?

Sonic: Yes Knux, let's move.

Elias (radio): Sonic? Sonic are you there?

Sonic grabbed his radio and said into it: 'Yes Elias I'm here.'

Elias (radio): Where are you?

Sonic: We've just met up with Bambi and Faline. Is something wrong?

Elias (radio): Sonic, get yourself over here pronto! Bring the two deer with you, the situation's urgent!

Sonic: What happened?

Elias (radio): Li Moon, the main target, she's gone some how!

Sonic: What?

Elias: Meet us at the base get there now! Out!

Then he was gone and Sonic put away the radio.

Bambi: Sonic?

Sonic: Bamb' get in the jeep; we gotta track down Li Moon. I'll explain later.

Then they got in the jeep with the two confused deer.

EXT. A street – Night

Tails is walking down a street with Li Moon, who had a hood over her head.

Li Moon: So where's the airport?

Tails: We've got two miles to get there.

Li Moon: Why don't you use the Kaftar?

Tails: Because the airport is guarded by the security and police guards, I don't want us to grab any attention. If we get caught I'll protect you and you'll do what I say. Do you understand?

Li Moon: Yes.

Tails: Good, let's move. Looks like the police have been marching throughout the city, keep yourself normal.

Li Moon: Okay.

Then he noticed Sonic's jeep driving down the road.

Tails: Hide!

Then they both ducked behind a dumpster in an alley, and then the jeep stopped on the other side of the street.

Li Moon: Now what? We're trapped.

Tails: I don't know, I'll put on my hood so they won't see us.

He put on his hood and said: 'Come on.' Then they cautiously began trotting down the street away from the police and the heroes. We join the heroes and Elias meets up with them.

Sonic: What's the haps?

Elias: Sonic, when we got to Li Moon's apartment she wasn't there.

Sonic: What?

Elias: Somehow, someone or something took her.

The police chief came over to them.

Chief: Elias.

Elias turned to face him and asked: 'Chief, what is it?'

Chief: We just got a report of a young red fox walking down the street with a purple hood.

Elias: Where?

Chief: I think just up the road.

Elias: What?!! Go and get that fox! Check it out!

Chief: Will do!

The chief went over to some officers and told them to get in their cars and move. The police began to do just that.

Bambi: Sonic, what were you gonna tell us?

Sonic just watched as the sirens WAILED and took off down the road. We join Tails and Li Moon; they heard the sirens and Tails took her into an ice cream shop.

INT. Ice cream shop – Night

Tails sat Li Moon down and gave her some money.

Tails: Act like a civilian, buy yourself an ice cream cone while I take care of them.

Li Moon: What're you gonna do?

Tails: For your protection, I'll cause a distraction so that we can get out of here.

Li Moon (unsure): All...all right...

Then Tails exited the shop so Li Moon could be out of danger.

EXT. The street – Night

Tails looked down the road to see the police cars approaching; he then hid in the shadows and jumped up to the roof using the Kaftar. The police cars kept coming as Tails watched, then at the right time he morphed into the Kaftar, swooped down and knocked two cars into a building, the officers weren't harmed. All of the police cars stopped and they all got out looking around.

Officer (in Indian): What was that?

They kept looking around very carefully, from BENEATH the road the Kaftar's huge hands came busting out knocking the cars into the air! The police began to freak out and people began running, then the last car that went flying BLEW UP! In the shop, Li Moon watched at what was happening, and then a HUGE hand punched threw the ceiling of the shop, grabbed Li Moon, and the Kaftar headed off to the airport. The police were shocked and confused at what had just happened.

CUT TO: Police base – Night

Sonic and friends are sitting at a table, explaining everything to Bambi and Faline.

Sonic: So, you see, Elias wanted us to come along and we did. We also have no idea where Tails is.

Bambi took in a deep breath and sighed.

Bambi: That’s just sad…

Sonic: Yeah…and I’m also concerned about him and his health, he ran off into the wild.

Knuckles: Tails has been going through a tuff time now.

Sally: Sonic, I think we need to stop this right now. So we can find Tails.

Sonic: Good idea, I’ll go talk to Elias about stopping this project.

 

Cream: It'll just get make him angry.

Sonic: I’ll try to do my best at talking him out of it.

Then he got up to go talk to Elias.

Bambi: Sally.

Sally: Yes, Bamb’?

Bambi: I want you to know that I’ve been getting a tough feeling.

Sally: What’s wrong?

Bambi: I don’t think anything’s wrong. It’s just…I have a feeling that Tails may be closer than we think…

Sally: Hmmmmm…

 End of chapter 12

 
AN: Tails has escaped, will Sonic convince Elias out of this?

Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 11

Chapter 11 – Escape route

EXT. Main lobby – Night

The Nadu police along with Elias was searching the building, and then Elias looked at the main desk's computer.

Elias: Room six seventy-two!

The police began running towards the elevator, while some help the knocked-out folks.

INT. Li Moon's room – Night

Tails and Li Moon just stood there as the sirens WAILED.

Li Moon: Why are they here?

Tails: Li Moon, Elias signed them on to eliminate those who worship and support the shapeshifters.

Li Moon's face froze as they looked at each other.

Tails: I have an idea! Come on!

Then they ran over to a window, Tails used the Kaftar to break it!

Li Moon: What're you doing?!

Tails' body morphed into the Kaftar's and he grabbed the concrete wall on the outside, he stepped out and hung on the building.

EXT. Outside – Night

Tails hung on to the building like no problem, he reached his hand out to Li Moon.

Tails: Come on, the choppers are coming; I'll get you to safety.

Li Moon: Tails...I don't know...

Tails: They're going to kill you. Now come, please.

Li Moon looked at Tails, then she grabbed his huge Kaftar hand and he grasped her gently.

Tails: You may want to hold on tight.

Li Moon grasped the Kaftar body as Tails' head morphed into the Kaftar's head. Then the Kaftar leaped from the motel building and began to scamper across the other buildings while holding Li Moon.

INT. Li Moon's room – Night

The Nadu police came rushing in and yelling 'This is the police! Come out with your hands up!' No response, the police and Elias began searching, as they spread out Elias went over into the bedroom and he sees a window was blown out. He didn't know what happened, all he knew is that somehow Li Moon was gone.

EXT. Police station – Night

The police officers were monitoring the groups spread out, they were all in throughout India, and some Thailand police were also involved. A Nadu police officer looked up at the commander.

Police officer: We're ready, on your mark, commander.

There were screens of the police aiming at large groups of frightened people. There were 41 teams in all.

Commander: Fire.

Police officer: Fire!

Then on all of the screens, bullets went flying and people began dropping down instantly.

EXT. Rooftops – Night

The Kaftar stopped on a building top and sees the police killing a lot of people, Li Moon was shocked and saddened.

Li Moon (saddened): Why?

The Kaftar shook his head.

Kaftar: We better get to the airport, I booked flights for me and you.

Li Moon: To where?

Kaftar: London.

They looked at the police firing one more time before leaving.

End of chapter 11

AN: Harsh, very harsh. Even though they escaped, what will happen next? What will happen if Sonic finds out about Tails being involved with the Kaftar?

Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 10

Chapter 10 – To the rescue

CUT TO: Agra International Airport – Twilight

Tails cautiously looks for his friends as he walks with a group of people, he sees them at a snack bar, his heart hardened and he went down the escalator. We join Sonic and his friends, Sonic had just got a strawberry smoothie.

Sonic: Man that sure was a tough flight from Uganda.

Sally: It sure was.

Then she remembered something.

Sally: Elias.

Elias turned to face her.

Elias: What is it, Sal?

Sally: We're supposed to meet up with Bambi and Faline at the Children's department, can we go by quickly and pick'em up?

Elias thought for a moment and then said: 'All right. Just make it quick.'

Sally: Thank you.

Elias: While you do that, I have to meet up with the Tamil Nadu Police in the northwestern part of Agra. I'll catch up with you guys soon.

Sally: All right, see you later.

Elias then left them when he did Sonic looked out the window and sees the moon that was glowing. He sighed.

Sonic: Sally.

Sally: Yes?

Sonic: I'm worried about Tails now. I mean, here he was a good friend, like a brother, and then he broke out as a wild boar.

Sally: Sonic, I've been getting a sick feeling to my stomach.

Sonic looked at her.

Sonic: What's wrong? Are you sick?

Sally: No. It's my conscience. I don't think that killing all of these people is what we should do.

Sonic looked at her and began to feel the same way.

Sonic: Maybe we should've done what Tails said.

Knuckles came over to them.

Knuckles: Sonic, we're ready to go.

Sonic: Okay.

Then they began to follow Knuckles down the escalator, and Sonic had a sad look on his face.

CUT TO: The street – Night

Tails is walking down a street that had orange streetlights; he raised his left arm and scratched his left ear light crazy. He stopped for a moment and used his foot to scratch it instead. Then when he stopped, he began walking again. He then walked over to a map stand.

Tails (in Indian): I need a map of the city please.

Then the Indian woman handed him a map of Agra, Tails thanked her and walked off. He looked at the map and sees a certain hotel that's labeled in Indian: 'The Swaloop motel' Tails eyes grew in a determined way. He folded it up and began walking down the street.

Tails: I'm coming Li Moon. Don't worry.

Then he sees--Nadu Police cars heading northwest! He was surprised and looked at the map. He then put it away and began running down the street. We follow him and he's heading into a group of people!

Tails: Oh, darn it!

He then ran through the group of people while saying in Indian: 'Sorry! Whoop! My bad! Excuse me!' He continued running, had made it to the road of where the police were heading, Tails grew exhausted.

Tails: This can't be...

He was helpless for a moment.

Kaftar (V.O.): Use me to accomplish your goal.

Then Tails realized about the Kaftar. He then hid in a dark alley and we see a shadow turn from Tails into the huge Kaftar!

EXT. The rooftops – Night

The Kaftar landed on top of a building and began looking around; the Taj Mahal was far off under the full moon.

Kaftar: I can save Li Moon. Let's do it!

Then he got on all fours and scampered across the building by jumping to the next one. Tails never felt so alive as the Kaftar, he wanted to keep him forever. He was so caught up in the Kaftar that he missed the next jump! He gasped and wanted to grab a distant pole, and then his arm STRETCHED OUT and grabbed it! He swung to another building and STRETCHED OUT his right arm! Tails was surprised at this,he started to get a move on, and then he jumped across to the other building, and he saw a tall building and jumped to it! He grabbed the concrete wall and began to climb it. When he reached the top, he JUMPED off holding his hands out with his CLAWS out. He grabbed onto a metal pole and swung to another pole, and then he made a move to avoid a tight spot. Before he landed right in front of the motel he was looking for, he morphed back into Miles 'Tails' Prower.

INT. In front of Swaloop Motel – Night

Tails looked up at the building for a moment and he looked around to make sure no one saw him as the Kaftar. No one seemed to have noticed. Then he walked on in.

INT. Main lobby of Swaloop Motel – Night

Tails looked at the walls of the hotel that had weird shapes. There was something going on between a security guard and the manager, Tails walked up to the main desk.

Tails: Excuse me; I'm looking for one of your guests.

Worker: What guest?

Tails: Li Moon, the red girl fox.

Worker: Hold on, let me check.

He began to search on the computer while Tails listened for the sirens that were coming a little closer. He grew nervous and then the worker said: 'Room 672.'

Tails: Thanks.

Manager: Wait! Don't you dare go up to her!

The manager walked over to Tails.

Tails: Why not?

Manager: There's some thing to do with the legendary Kaftar and that Li Moon has a connection with it.

Tails: No. She doesn't worship a foul beast like that. She's a Christian, not a beast worshiper.

Manager: This motel is currently being evacuated on short notice; Li Moon shall remain where she is.

Tails: No. I won't--

The manager began to pull him away.

Manager (to worker): Have that room secure, make sure no one gets to it or that Li Moon gets out of it.

He looked at Tails.

Manager: Why don't you go home? Begone.

Tails: Sorry...but I don't THINK SO!!

Then he THREW the manager into the security guard! He went over to the main desk and knocked out the witness! He went over to the elevator door, he used the Kaftar to pry open the door.

INT. Elevator shaft – Night

Tails morphed into the Kaftar and began scampering up to the sixth floor. The elevator started to come down from the eighth floor, the Kaftar jumped and narrowly crashed through the 6^th floor elevator door.

EXT. Hallway of 6^th floor – Night

The Kaftar scampered down the hallway, the people panicked and ran, the Kaftar paid them no mind, he turned left and at the very end of the hall, he found room 672. He then punched the door clean open!

INT. Li Moon's motel – Night

The Kaftar looked around in the room. He morphed his head back into Tails.

Tails: Li Moon?

Then he heard some movement from the next room.

Li Moon (O.S.): What was that crash?

Then Tails SNEEZED and his head turned back into the Kaftar's! Li Moon came from around the corner and screamed when she saw the Kaftar! The Kaftar looked at himself in a mirror and freaked out. He looked at Li Moon and said: 'No! No! No! It's not what you think!' Li Moon grabbed a metal pipe and said: 'Stay back you foul beast!'

Kaftar: It's me, Tails!

His head morphed back into Tails.

Li Moon: Get away you shapeshifter! Go away!

Tails: Li Moon! No! It's me!

Li Moon began backing away as Tails got closer, morphing back into his original body.

Li Moon: Yeah right! You're just trying to trick me!

Tails: No! It's me! I can prove it! You're favorite color's blue! You love to get out and explore! You watch the sun come up every day you can!

Li Moon was up against a wall while grasping the pole.

Tails (cont'd): You love to run around outside, you love to cook, your grandfather was Li Yuen! And...you love a twin-tailed fox named Miles 'Tails' Prower/

Li Moon was shocked to hear all that he just said. She let go of the pole, shocked, her face was pale just looking at him.

Tails: Li Moon, I love you....and I always have.

Li Moon didn't know what to say. Tails had a tear slip down his eye.

Tails: I don't want to leave you now...I want to be with you...

Li Moon slowly walked over to him, and then she hugged him tight.

Li Moon: I can't believe that you're here, and have a shapeshifter!

Tails: It's a long story of how I got it.

Li Moon looked into Tails' eyes.

Tails: I'll never let go. I've wanted to do this for so long--

Then he locked lips with Li Moon's, shocking her, but she wasn't angry, she was happy because of this moment, they held the kiss for a bit of time before flopping onto a bed. After a moment, they separated and looked into each other's eyes.

Li Moon (smiling): Wow...

Tails: Li Moon, I just remembered...

He got up off the bed Li Moon did the same.

Tails (cont'd): Elias Acorn found a list that contains worshipers and supporters of the shapeshifters. Your name was on there.

Li Moon: What?!! I don't worship some beast-like creatures! I worship the Living God!

Tails: I know! I just knew you weren't a part of that list.

Li Moon: Ugghh!! They got it wrong!

Tails: I know and now they--

Then they heard POLICE sirens from outside, they looked at each other of what to do next.

End of chapter 10

AN: Okay, Tails has reached Li Moon, will they get out undetected? We’ll find out!

Nightfall: The Legend is Real chapter 9

Chapter 9 – A promise to keep

INT. Tails' mind – Day

Tails is lying in an area with nothing but blackness surrounding him, but he was still lit up. He then groaned and woke up.

Tails: Where am I?

He stood up and began looking around; he began to hear strange noises that made him nervous.

Voice: You awake sleepyhead?

Tails immediately whirled around to where the voice came from it was deep and ominous.

Tails: Who are you? Where am I?

Voice: You're nowhere Tails, you're just nowhere.

Tails was stunned to hear his name spoken.

Voice: Oh yeah, I know all about you, like the fact that your friends won't let you help your poor Li Moon.

Tails: How do you know this? Show yourself! Why am I nowhere?

Voice: Oh, us beings read your thoughts and look into your pasts, and can bring things up about them. You're no where because you don't know who to trust in this cruel world. And you should know that I'm--

Then Tails sees the Kaftar come out of the darkness!

Kaftar: --the Kaftar.

Tails was stunned and was about to scream but the Kaftar said: 'No worries, Tails. You see once a person has enough vengeance eject out of him or her, they signal a nearby shapeshifter and the alarm sounds for us. You owe me now Tails, with me, anything is possible.'

Tails: Really?

Kaftar: Yes, it's happened all throughout history, the shapeshifters weren't released until they came about because of fellow worshipers and supporters back in the early 2000s in the B.C.

Tails: But Li Moon doesn't know a thing about shapeshifters.

Kaftar: Everyone's heard about them before, but I do know is that she isn't a supporter for us. She's a plain Jesus worshiper. We're not demons, we're just stronger creatures.

Tails: Why on Earth would you help me?

Kaftar: It wasn't my choice, rules are rules. We all have to follow them or we'll be destroyed by a stronger being, of whom I can't mention.

Tails: I...don't know what to say...

Kaftar: Do what your heart desires, think of vengeance, and think about that poor girl. You owe me you can protect her. Or would you rather let her be killed?

Tails: No! I don't want her killed!

Kaftar: That's what I thought. And I would like to show you something. Take my arm and I'll take you.

The Kaftar stretched out his arm and Tails was confused. He just stared at it.

Kaftar: If you want to rescue her, take my arm.

Tails thought some more and he squinted his eyes and grasped the Kaftar's arm. Everything went into a blur and then we see we're in Stormtop village. Tails opened his eyes and was stunned.

Tails: Why're we here?

Kaftar: You'll find out, and this is the reason why you need me. Remember the day August 22 2009?

Tails' face froze.

Tails: No...no no no! Not this day!

Kaftar: It's time to choose what to do. Let's go.

Then they appeared in Li Yuen's house and we see Sonic and friends talking to each other.

Tails: Can't they see us?

Kaftar: No. This is just a vision.

Tails looked at himself who was talking to Sonic.

Tails (to Sonic): So, the party's almost ready?

Sonic (smiling): Yes. I just think Li Yuen is going to love it.

Then Li Moon walked in with a pot of tea.

Li Moon (smiling): Hey guys. The tea's ready.

Sonic (smiling): Cool! Thanks Li Moon.

Tails was blushing as he pretended to scratch his arm.

Sally (smiling): I want some, Li Moon.

Li Moon poured tea into Sally's cup and said: 'I'm so happy that you're throwing a party for my grandfather.'

Knuckles: Well, we gotta do something for his birthday now don't we?

Li Moon (smiling): Yes. He's so special, that I don't know I'd do with out him.

She looked at Tails who was looking at his watch. Then she put her hand on his shoulder, making him blush.

Li Moon: Tails, you okay?

Tails tried to look his coolest as he looked into his lover's violet eyes.

Tails (nervous): Oh...yeah...I couldn't be better Li Moon....

Li Moon: Want some tea?

Tails (nervous): Oh, sure. I'd love some.

Li Moon smiled as she poured the tea into his cup. When she finished Tails thanked her.

Li Moon: No problem, foxy.

Tails blushed again as Li Moon put the teapot down and sat down by Tails, who was trying to be cool.

Knuckles (to Sally): I think that they're wired.

Sally (whispering): Don't tease him. You know about me and Sonic.

Tails slurped out of his cup as Li Moon looked at him, smiling.

Li Moon: So, Sally, what's your latest mission?

She then wrapped her arm around Tails, who jumped.

Sally: Well, the latest was when Darkness the Hedgehog used Eggman's device to try and over-throw the world. As usual, he got away.

Li Moon: Darkness is a real creep! Right Tails?

Tails was blushing and sweating.

Tails: Is it hot in here?

Li Moon let go of Tails and said: 'You want me to lower the temperature?' Knuckles began chuckling as Tails was struggling to be cool.

Sonic (smiling): I think you should, Li Moon. I'm kinda hot too.

Sally (smiling): No doubt.

They all looked at her and they broke out laughing, except Tails who was about to lose it. When they stopped laughing Li Moon looked at Tails.

Li Moon (smiling): You know Tails, it's okay to tell someone your certain secrets, I mean Sonic and Sally are well known for being in love with each other.

Tails (nervous): Why? I never said...

Li Moon (smiling): Say it, Tails, you know you want to.

Tails: Uhh....ummmmm.....

He looked at his friends who were waiting for a response then he said: 'I need to go get some air.' He got out of his seat and began to leave.

Sonic: Tails.

Tails stopped and looked at him.

Sonic: Take this necklace to Li Yuen, he's in the palace. Party starts at 5 pm.

Tails went over and took the beautiful necklace that had shiny stones and some gold on it.

Tails: Thanks.

Then he trotted out the door.

Sonic (smiling): He's got something on you, Li Moon.

Li Moon (smiling): I know. He just won't admit it.

The Kaftar looked at the present Tails who was blushing.

Kaftar: Too afraid to admit it, huh?

Tails didn't say anything.

Kaftar: We'll follow you now.

EXT. Outside – Day

The present Tails and the Kaftar appear outside and they see the past Tails heading towards a large building in the distance.

Kaftar: Shall we walk?

Tails nodded and they began following the past Tails.

Kaftar: This is a beautiful village now isn't it? Monkey Khan rules over to protect it, it's peaceful and breathtaking. Isn't it?

Tails slowly nodded, aware that something was about to happen.

Kaftar: Tails, the dark is always be a part of you, everyone knows that, and you can use that darkness to over throw those who oppose you. You want what's best for your girl, you love her too much that you won't let anyone lay a harsh hand on her? Now that's pure love there. I'm always with you Tails, don't ever forget it.

Tails: Since when do you care about love?

Kaftar: I care about many things Tails, even your girl, yourself, and your future.

Tails looked into the Kaftar's eyes as they walked.

Kaftar: Here we are.

They stopped and they see the past Tails heading up to the palace.

Kaftar: I hate what happens here.

Tails grasped his arms around the Kaftar's muscular arm, and then an EXPLOSION ripped through the palace! The past Tails jumped back and fell onto the ground! People panicked and began running. The past Tails and present Tails were saddened and horrified. The past Tails got up and began running up the stairs to the entry door.

Kaftar: Let's move.

Then they disappeared.

INT. Main hallway – Stormtop palace – Day

The Kaftar and Tails appeared inside the burning palace, then the past Tails came running in.

Past Tails: Li Yuen?!

He frantically began searching the ruins; smoke filled the air as the fire began to get bigger. There were some screams and some villagers came running out of a burning room. Tails began looking around a bit faster thrashing around many objects, and then he heard a noise and saw that it was Li Yuen that fell from the second floor!

Past Tails (horrified): LI YUEN!

He ran out the door. The Kaftar and Tails followed.

EXT. Outside the palace – Day

The past Tails picked up Li Yuen and began running away from the burning palace. The Kaftar lead the present Tails to where the past Tails was going. Tails looked back at the palace, the roof came down, and then the WHOLE building collapsed! The Kaftar brought Tails to where the past Tails was laying Li Yuen, on a patch of green grass.

Past Tails (saddened): Li Yuen...

Li Yuen: Tails…

Tails (saddened): Li Yuen, I'm going to get help.

Li Yuen: No. That won't be necessary.

Tails looked into Li Yuen's eyes and realized what was about to happen. Villagers came over and began to crowd around the small patch of grass.

Li Yuen (weaker tone): Tails, I want you to do something very important.

Tails (saddened): What?

Li Yuen pulled off a necklace with a polished blue sapphire on it. He put it in Tails' fist.

Li Yuen (weaker tone): Tails, promise me that...you'll take great care of Li Moon....she needs you...

Tails (saddened): I will Li Yuen, I won't let you down.

Li Yuen looked into Tails' blue eyes before slowly closing his and dies. Tails was shocked and saddened then he began to cry with big tears coming out. Monkey Khan then came through the crowd and was shocked to see Li Yuen dead.

Monkey Khan (shocked): No.....No!

Tails looked up at Monkey Khan, who was angry.

Monkey Khan: Stupid terrorists!!

Tails looked at Li Yuen's dead body before getting up and leaving. The present Tails looked at the Kaftar with sad eyes.

Kaftar: We're not done yet. Come on.

They followed the past Tails who was still crying, he buried his face in his hands, sobbing. Then he bumped into a hedgehog with a huge orange scar over his left eye, who looked like Shadow, only with blue quills, blue eyes, and gray fur. He looked up at the hedgehog with tearful eyes, and then Tails grasped the hedgehog around in a hug.

Hedgehog: Tails? What happened?

Tails (really sad): Oh....Mr. Xena...the terrorists attacked and Li Yuen was killed!

Xena: What?!

Tails (really sad): I just wish I could've done something!

Xena made Tails look into his eyes.

Xena: Tails, you can't control others. All you are is you. I know how you feel, believe me.

Tails (sad): I just....

Xena: Tails, I know what terrorist attack group did it, and who their leader is.

Tails (sad): How?

Xena: Advanced technology can find them easier. I'll go and kill all of them.

Tails (sad): Do it, Xena! You're my hero!

Xena: Will do! Remember, don't let this overcome you.

Then Xena went away and then Tails began running back to Li Moon's house.

Kaftar: One last thing, buddy.

Then they disappeared once again.

INT. Li Moon's house – Day

All of the heroes were confused and shocked, Li Moon huddled under the table with Sally, Sonic and Knuckles kept their guards up. Then Tails broke through the door, Sonic almost attacked him, but pulled back and was relieved that it was Tails.

Sonic: Tails! Thank goodness!

Tails: Sonic, something...happened...

Sonic: What happened?

Tails: Terrorists. They destroyed the palace.

Sonic and Knuckles (shocked): They what?!!!

Sonic: Where's Li Yuen?!

Tails didn't respond, instead he hung his head low and began to walk into the next room, where Sally and Li Moon where hiding. Li Moon got out from underneath the table to see Tails.

Li Moon: Where's Grandfather?

Tails took her hand, put the necklace into her fist, and closed her hand up. She was saddened, hugged Tails, and began crying. All of the others were saddened too; Sonic had a tear slip down his eye.

Sonic (saddened): What're we going to do now?

Tails looked at Sonic.

Tails (saddened): Xena's going to kill them. He knows who did it.

Sonic nodded as Tails began to comfort Li Moon.

Kaftar: We've had enough of that.

Then the area they were in, dissipated and when it did there was nothing but blackness but the two were lit up. The Kaftar looked at Tails who was weeping some.

Kaftar: Tails look at me.

Tails looked into the Kaftar's eyes.

Kaftar: Tails, since you've seen this you have to make a choice. The dark can be used to solve all of your problems.

Tails (sad): What does this have to do with Li Moon?

Kaftar: The promise Tails. The one that you gave to Li Yuen. You won't let him down. You don't want that girl destroyed. What will you do?

Tails (sad): That's true...and Xena did destroy all of those terrorists...

Kaftar: Focus on the main picture here. Are you going to let your so call friends destroy Li Moon, or will you use me against them?

Tails began thinking, then his attitude hardened and he looked up at the Kaftar. He then grasped the Kaftar in a hug.

Tails: I want you. I want to save Li Moon.

The Kaftar smiled and said: 'Great choice. Oh, and by the way, you're about to land in Agra, India. Good luck.'

Then the Kaftar disappeared making Tails fall onto the black floor.

Tails: No, Kaftar! Don't leave!

Kaftar (V.O.): I'm with you. Don't forget it.

FADE OUT: Present day – Flight 853 – Evening

We see Tails grasping his seat and then he woke up. He looked around and the loudspeaker came on.

Loudspeaker: We're about to land, everyone put their tray tables in upright positions and buckle up. We hope you have had a wonderful flight.

Tails buckled up and rubbed his eyes.

Tails: How did I sleep for about 12 hours?

Kaftar (V.O.): Things are certain, and some aren't.

Tails: You're here? It wasn't a dream!

Kaftar (V.O.): Do what you chose, and I'll guide you through.

EXT. Outside – Twilight

We see that flight 853 is making a landing in Agra India, then the wheels touched the runway and began to roll along, the plane has made a landing.

End of chapter 9

AN: Okay, I know a long chapter, but it had to be written, now that the Kaftar’s got Tails convinced, what kind of deeds will they both accomplish? Okay, I think you’re getting a little hyped up now. But that's the point!
