I understand. I do to.

*smiles apologetically* S-sorry. I didn't think you'd believe it.

*laughs a little as well, then makes a mock show of the slap hurting more than it did*

"Confusing I understand," said Melody, "But why is it stupid? Is it raining exploding chickens or something?" ------------ The older Miles tried to back away, but unable to move his feet he fell back instead. In desperation he cast a spell to make the rock explode in Dylan's hand, but the numb feeling spread up his legs, and now he was trapped on the ground, unable to stand.

You mean t-there are time's he doesn't think c-cheesy stuff?

*whispers back* I d-dunno. H-he's just s-standing there s-staring....

*whispers as quietly as possible* Maybe this f-funny zone sometimes m-makes time s-stop around the o-others when w-we talk. *also starts looking at Locke*

Gah! S-sorry, you w-weren't meant t-to hear that!

(ooc: He doesn't anymore Spark. Miles turned that tail into the bind that held Miles... Uh, young Miles turned that tail into the bind that held old Miles) "Sorry Tikal. I know it would never happen. I just imagined what it would be like if you did." He took a deep breath. "But I'm not going to worry. I'm just going to enjoy myself, because now this morning is over the rest of the day will be quiet." ---------- "You can do that? Neat!" commented Melody to Berry. "Uh, how's it going? Is everyone alright? What's happening?" ---------- Before being hit by the shockwave, after hearing Zamy's response, Anna chocked down a joke about hearing Zamy confess her love for her, guessing it really wouldn't help the situation. The younger Miles was slightly hurt at Zamy's response. Partially he felt bad for her, which was a feeling he hadn't needed to deal with before. And partially he himself was hurt because, in a way, that freak was him. Even as his older self was preparing to possess him, the young cub put his mind to stopping the maniac. The older Miles started to spin round, infuriated by Dylan's comments. "I have NOT..." he began, but that was when Locke brought his pistol to bare. As he'd half turned, the blow caught him on the face rather than the back of the head. Miles screamed in agony, clutching at his now useless eye, dropping his younger self. "How dare you," he moaned. Channeling power, he caused several sharp pillars of stone to erupt from the ground, possibly implanting those around, which then exploded into shrapnel. Then he noticed a strange numbness in his feet. Looking down, he gave a start as the flesh of his feet had turned to solid stone. The older Miles looked around to see his younger self smirking at him, to far out of reach to be possessed. "A simple little curse," grinned the younger Miles. "Accelerating the effects of drawing too much power from the ground. Not that you were far off that stage anyway. You might want to stop flinging spells around." ---------- From where she was propped against a tree, Melody could see the melee happening. 'What are they doing to Father?' she wondered slightly horrified. 'Am I next? Are they saving me up for that... or worse?'

*whispers to Fluffy* Is it m-my imagination o-or d-does everyone g-go q-quiet when we t-talk to each other?

With an effort, Skye managed to bring his panicked breathing down to a manageable level. ------------ Anna also came in to land, and Miles let Zamy to the ground gently. "Are you alright?" he asked. When his feet touched the ground the adult Miles suppressed a grin, and immediately began gathering energy. A moment later a massive shock-wave rippled out of him, causing the binds to snap. The younger gave a cry of pain and surprise as he was holding the other end. Both he and Anna were thrown back, the shock also dispelling the fire around Anna. The adult Miles rushed over and grabbed the younger by the throat. "Once I have your body this time I can rule without the humiliation. This time my uncle will pay. This time Mina will obey me," claimed the older Miles, his form starting to turn wispy. "No I won't," spoke up Anna. The older Miles turned to Anna, looking at her with surprise. "Mina?" he asked, his form solidifying. Knowing she now had his distracted, Anna hoped to keep him that way. "You know, you still sound kinda like Zamy," said Anna, almost laughing at the look of horror on Miles face.

I'm r-ready. I was w-waiting for y-you guys.

*sounding impressed* Wow, you've g-got a g-good vocabulary! *pauses, looks around awkwardly, then goes a put a comforting hand on Flyffy's shoulder, but pauses and changes it to a hug at the last second.* C-cheer u-up. Y-you're a g-good person for n-not h-holding it a-against him.

As with many things, the reboot is shifting everything closer to the games. In the games Tails is generally 8, so...

"Against us?" asked Skye, sounding a little worried. "What could be against us?" ----------- 'My eye's are feeling dry', Melody thought to herself as she tried to work out where she'd seen the bat before. Then it clicked. 'She's Mother's friend, but much younger. So she's from this time. But what is she doing in the Prime Zone?' ----------- Miles snarled at Glen. 'I need to break out of these bonds' he thought to himself. 'I can't possess anyone until I do.'

"Let go of me," demanded Miles to Glen, only to be cut off as, unable to dodge with the bonds, Dylan's fist hits him square in the face. "Anna! Zamy's falling!" cried the younger Miles. Anna swooped after the falling Zone cop and Miles reached out to grab her by the arm.

"I'm not weak! And you will not make me pay for..." Miles blinked in surprise at the unexpected image from Zamy. Then the sight of it acted like a catalyst in his brain, revealing other hidden memories. "Mommy? Daddy?" whispered Miles, then he screamed. "No, that's not possible. How could you know? That can't have happened. You're messing with my mind. Get out!" Zamy's body began to lurch violently as streams of yellow mist began pouring out of her, only to reform into Miles, clutching his head. With a cry of 'Got you' the younger Miles changed the bonds from surrounding Zamy to wrapped around Miles. "Anna, you might need to catch Zamy if she's worn out from that fight," said Miles. (ooc: And I'm just gonna close my eyes now. This will probably not be pleasant for Miles.)

Miles grinned at the reaction he had on Sparks, but it was a short lived victory as Dylan teleported. He shook his head, not wanting to believe what Dylan said about Mina. "I'm not weak!" he cried out. 'Maybe I am," flashed across his mind. 'Darn it, this body is making me doubt myself. I need a change of plan. Find out where my younger self is, get close, and jump out before...' Miles grimaced and buckled as Zamy's image came into his mind. 'How could she... Did I tip my hand to far... Or is she inside MY head?' wondered Miles in a panic. (ooc: I messed up my pronouns writing this one. A couple of 'she's' slipped in. Obviously even I'm messing with Miles at this stage.) ------------ "I hope you know what you're doing," said Anna as she took ahold of Miles. "So do I," the young fox replied as he made a whipping gesture with his arm, and the fire surrounding him stretched into a long stand, shooting from his hand to wrap around the possessed Zamy. The older Miles struggled against the bonds, while the other end was still held in the younger Miles hands. "You little whelp. You'll suffer for this," Miles cried down. 'I hope this works,' thought the younger Miles, trying to send his thoughts through the flame. "Zamy? Can you hear me? If you can, and you concentrate, only you should hear this, not... Him. I've got you body bound, and if you drive him out, I should be able to move the bonds to bind him!'

"Ah, there she is," breathed Ziona in relief, guessing at the cause of Miles sudden Non Sequitur. "C'mon Zamy! Keep going. You're wearing him down!" she called. Miles shook his head, trying to clear out the images of Mina. He looked angrily at Dylan. "There is no one else for Mina," he hissed. He glanced towards Sparks, trying work out a way of neutralizing him. 'Why couldn't you have been a hydrokinetic instead of an summoner' he thought to Zamy. Moving suddenly, Miles swooped towards Dylan, swinging the flail in an attempt to smash the Extreme Gear he was riding. As he did so he started to summon a suit of solid armor to surround and trap Spark. Miles hoped the armor would either trap Spark and cut his fire off from oxygen, or at least take time for him to burn through. But as Zamy's summoning skills were more attitude for weapons, the summoning was slower than Miles would have liked, giving Spark a chance to escape. The Zamy's latest attack hit him. This time it was only a momentary distraction, but it shook Miles in a different way. 'How could she know about HIM?' Miles wondered. 'I made sure to keep him hidden in my thoughts. And there is no possible way my younger self would have mentioned him. Is she deeper in my mind than I thought?" he wondered, beginning to feel afraid. ------------ "I've got an idea," said Miles. "but you'll need to carry me." "What? Why?" asked Anna. "Because I'm going to try and manipulate this fire that Spark gave me," Miles explained. (ooc: Spark, may I have permission for Miles to manipulate the fire boost you gave him with his magic?)

(ooc: Uh... well, unless you say how much pain Spark's is in... we don't know...)

"You're right Angel," said Skye. Then he added: "And what would you say is happening now?" curious about how she was feeling about their relationship, especially as Skye was continually using her as an emotional crutch. He hoped he wasn't straining her. -------------- "Berry?" asked Melody as the squirrel remained silent. -------------- Not being in a condition to dodge Ziona flew out of the radius of the spell, then back alongside Glen when it finished. "I'm worried," she whispered to Glen. "I can't see any sign of Zamy fighting inside." Miles was audibly growling at the insults being thrown at him. He began sharking as anger overwhelmed him. Miles forgot about his plan to take over his younger self. Now it was all about crushing those who stood against him inside and outside. Then Sparks leaned towards him, causing Miles to lean back. "What are you doing? Are you wanting a kiss or something? Back off you creep!" Miles channeled more magic through his flail, increasing it's size and power, and swung it towards Spark, aiming the blow between his legs. But before it connected, Miles' eye's widened, slowing the blow and giving Spark a greater chance to dodge. "Mina, no. I'm sorry. I... I love you... Don't you love me?" Miles asked as he clutched at his head. (ooc: For the record, before Miles and Skye fled the castle that wouldn't have happened, or at least they'd have had evenly matched verbal sparring matches. But since Miles was captured...) -------------- "But you sound... almost worried as well," said Anna to Miles. "I want Zamy to be okay. She's... my friend," replied Miles. Anna made a motion as if trying to get water out of her ear. "I must be going deaf. I thought you said friend," she joked. "We talked, she let me have a last look outside. We were going to place chess... Isn't that the kind of things friends do?" asked Miles. "If she's your friend, then help her," challenged Anna. "I can't! He's after me. If I go up there, he'll take me over!" whined Miles. "And my magic is drained." "Then think of another way. You're always boasting about how smart you are. Prove it."

As long as she isn't a carbon copy (i.e. different backstory, character and maybe powers) it would be okay, but she could fulfill a similar role in the bad guy roster, i.e. the confident female villain who can humiliate most of the cast in a one-on-one fight and can do manipulation pretty well.

N-no. Maybe even the o-opposite. You s-seem to trust Locke again, er... *blushes and looks away* D-despite w-what h-he s-said.

Hmm, wanting to make her a merc like Bean and Bark... You know, if they're looking for a Fiona Fox stand in, there we have it.
