The Double Agent
Chapter two: The Double Agent
Sally sat in her throne, with Sonic at her side. The cloaked men that sent Tails to the anti-dimension occupied her palace with their existence; he didn't understand why they were here. The only thing he knew is that they wanted Fiona. One of the cloaked men approached her as she sat in her throne, bowing before her.
"Your majesties," the cloaked man began, "we have received word that Tails had arrived in the anti-dimension, he's injured but safe."
"Good," Sonic replied, "keep us updated."
The cloaked man bowed again as he left to join his other cloaked comrades.
"Sonic, I don't like how secret these people are," Sally said.
"I know Sal," Sonic replied, "but this is something we've put off long enough."
"But Tails?" Sally asked, "We just sent him there with little chance of survival and you expect him to live? He has own personal dilemma to deal with you know!"
"That's why he's perfect for the job," Sonic replied, "the time he took changing will make him useful."
"You don't even care, do you?" Sally asked.
"I care!" Sonic snapped, "I know I sent him on a suicide run! The chances of him coming back are horrible enough as it is without your damn mouth!"
Sally slapped Sonic across the side of his face and stormed off, this wasn't the first time it happened. And the chances of it being the last weren't good.

Tails' Redemption: Ascension
Tails woke up in the pool of blood he passed out in, surprisingly not dead. Tails felt on his back to see that his wounds were patched up, he didn't understand. But he didn't understand why he was here, why did those cloaked men want him to be here? What was he to even accomplish by being here?
"Morning sunshine," Scourge said over the intercom.
"Not now," Tails replied getting up off the ground.
"Sorry, but life doesn't wait," Scourge replied, "the door to your cell is open, meet me up top, it's time to put you to the test."
The intercom turned off as soon as the last word left Scourge's mouth, Tails didn't have much to go on and he couldn't make much of demands so he followed Scourge's advice and went to the top. For some reason, he felt rejuvenated, despite all the sleep he missed in the past four years of his life. Tails went up to the main floor to see Scourge sitting and sleeping up on his throne.
"You wanted to see me?" Tails asked.
"Oh no," Scourge answered, "I wanted the tooth fairy to come so I can fuck it."
"You have some strange fetishes." Tails noted.
"Don't we all?" Scourge Questioned, "Anyways, there's something unnatural on the outskirts of town, and we don't like it. Find out what it is, and if it doesn't like you, kill it."
Scourge reached behind his throne and pulled a UMP45 sub machinegun, complete with an ammo bandolier, shoulder holsters and a knife. Scourge reached back around and pulled out a wrist GPA unit.
"Why all the high tech?" Tails asked.
"You came here on your own whim, left behind a perfectly normal life for the pursuit of fun and I have the feeling that you're here is yours alone," Scourge answered, "besides, I thought about what you said, it's still insane that you're here, but chances are that you got fed up with Blue."
"That's exactly what happened," Tails replied taking the items.
Tails wasted no time in putting the wrist GPA unit on, followed by the shoulder holster with knife and finally the UMP40 slung over his shoulder.
"Mind telling how the GPA works?" Tails asked.
"I'm not the techie genius," Scourge reminded, "But Boomer said something that the higher you are, the more map coverage you'll get. Try the old bell tower; you'll get a good map reading from there."
Tails nodded as he headed out the front door of the castle and out to the town, leaving Scourge and the Suppression Squad by themselves. He never thought he would actually hit it off well, but he shrugged it off as he spotted the old bell tower. Tails flew through the interior, dodging old pillars and decayed lumber as he got to the top of the bell tower. Tails hit a few buttons on his GPA, which resonated in a blue touchpad, after a few seconds of calibrations and alignments, Tails managed to get the closest map projection he had.

'Alright let's see,' thought Tails inspecting the map, 'I'm here at this bell tower, and I need to- whoa! What is that?'
A large red dot appeared on Tails' holographic map, it was moving away from the town and at a fast pace. Only a few people could reach that type of speed, inevitably, Tails befriended one, hated another and worked for the final.
"Life doesn't wait," Tails sighed.
Tails dived off the top of the bell tower, slowly going into a free-fall as he descended further into the streets below. Tails revved up his tails at the last minute as he hit the ground, becoming a speeding yellow bullet in the process as he made his way out of the town and followed the red dot on his map.
Scourge sat in his throne, thinking the words that Tails said the other day. Was he truly fed up with Sonic? Or did he just stop caring? Either way, the conclusion was the same. Tails was here and he wanted to get his hands dirty, that's the only thing he cared about.
"Thinking hard boss?" Boomer asked.
"To an extent," Scourge answered, "it's still confusing, how did he even get here? To my knowledge all the teleporter rings were destroyed and I still have one in my possession.
"Maybe he got here with a Chaos Emerald?" Rosy suggested.
"If you like, I can shake him down for you when he gets back," Miles suggested.
"Nobody is going to touch him," Scourge replied, "not yet anyway; I just want to see what he's capable of. If he's useful, he can stay."
"And if he's not?" Miles questioned.
Scourge pulled a magnum out of his jacket pocket and checked the clip, indicating that he had six bullets in its clip.
"He dies," Scourge answered.
Tails stood on the outskirts of the town, checking his GPA. The red dot was only a mile ahead of him and he was desperate for answers. Who could possibly go this fast? As Tails tried to ponder it, the red dot came towards him in a slower fashion. Tails looked into the distance, spotting a familiar large man with an even more familiar mustache.
"Eggman!" Tails shouted.
Eggman came to a halt in his Eggpod; the past four years has taken a number on him. The ends of his moustache were grayed and he wore a blue labcoat instead of his usual red one. Tails heard that Eggman undergone some type of reformation, but never believed it.
"Well isn't this a surprise!" Eggman greeted, "what brings you to a place like the anti-dimension?"
"I was going to ask the same thing," Tails answered, "I'm here for my own reasons."
"Really?" Eggman questioned, "Or are you here because of Sonic?"
"How did you know that?" Tails demanded drawing his UMP45.
"Now Tails let's not act hostile!" Eggman assured, "you realize that everything reaches me somehow, not everybody has tight lips."
"Maybe your right," Tails agreed lowering his UMP45, "you still haven't told me why you're here."
"For your information I'm here for research of a rare material called 'Dark Matter,'" Eggman answered, "it's a rare material that works in many different ways, however, there's only small caches that litter this dimension and most of them are in the town."
"What if I could bring some back?" Tails asked.
"That would be marvelous," Eggman agreed, "I'll be here for some time so you have enough time to get it to me, though I prefer it if you delivered it to me at night."
"No guarantees," Tails replied.
"And take this with you," Eggman replied.
Eggman tossed a device from his Eggpod, Tails caught it delicately. The device was similar to Tails wrist GPA, but with a few differences, such as Eggman's logo on the back of it as well as a color, it still kept the touchscreen however.
"What is it?" Tails asked inspecting the device.
"It's a communicator," Eggman answered, "use it to keep in contact with me."
Tails nodded in agreement as he headed back to the town and to Scourge with a full report, tweaked to make it believable. He was basically a double agent now, messing up either way could result in severe consequences.
