Classic Tails sat on his "bed". He had been here for two months now. Modern hadn't remembered any of this, so this was a disruption of the time stream. Robotni- Eggman was insane!
Modern and Boom 2 had been captured two weeks ago.
Modern had accepted the fact that he was a prisoner the first day, but Boom 2 had a harder time. He refused to believe there was nothing he could do. He tried to escape multiple times, until Boom was kept chained permanently.
Classic felt sorry for Modern, who was him at 8 years old. Over the video chat Modern had told them all the reason he was so quiet and reserved.
AoStH had noted that Modern acted different from Classic even though they were the same person.
Modern had, at first, tried to blame the change on the age difference, but Classic pointed out that Modern had been happy and energetic when they met first, so something had happened.
It was then that Modern told them about the War to Take Back the Planet.
The scariest thing was that Classic knew that it was going to happen to him. That also explained the "Infinite" thing Modern Eggman had mentioned.
Classic's thoughts turned to his friends: Sonic, Knuckles, and Knuckles' wife, Starleen. He had been dragged into Generations during Sonic 2. He was now dragged from the peaceful time after Sonic 3, during which Sonic and him (with Knuckles' permission, of course) had moved onto Angel Island.
Knuckles and Starleen had eggs, and their children should be hatching any day now. Classic missed them.
Suddenly, the cage started shaking violently. Classic cried out and hid under the "bed". The walls and ceiling began to fall away, until it was all gone.
Classic looked up and saw he was in a forest. The cage had disappeared, and he was free. Classic stood up cautiously. He didn't trust this sudden freedom.
He straightened and sniffed the air. The wind was coming in from the northwest. It smelled like fox cub. It was a stretch, but Classic had to try. If one of the other Tails came up too, Classic had to find them.
Following the sent, Classic found it annoying that he knew all the Tails' faces and names, but not their scents. Besides Modern, that is.
The scent grew stronger and stronger until...
"Ow!" Classic collided with Sat AM.
The two sat on the ground rubbing their heads until they saw who it was they'd collided with.
"Sat AM!" Classic yelled joyfully.
"Classic!" Sat AM responded.
The two hugged, then Classic pulled away.
"We need to find the others. If they were freed by the thing that freed us, we need to find them," he said.
Sat AM nodded, "Especially Modern."
Classic nodded. While Boom 2 had recovered from the method of getting captured quickly, Modern got worse. They all suspected poisoned food, but none were brave enough to say it out loud.
The two started walking silently, keeping their noses open for any scent of foxes. Then Sat AM broke the silence.
"Why is- was- Modern Eggman so cruel?" he asked.
He said the word Eggman like it was the most disgusting thing he'd ever tasted.
"He went mad," Classic explained, "being beaten over and over got to him and he got so bent on destroying Sonic he's like a shark during a feeding frenzy."
Sat AM was quiet, thinking about it. A gust of wind blew, and he stopped and shivered. Classic put his arm around Sat AM and the two of them kept walking.
