The doors leading to the hangar opened. "Sis, I'm back," the young fox shouted.
Ami appeared from the Tornado's cockpit. "Hey there, bro," she said. "I almost finished attaching the computer to your friend's plane, I only have to install the software. Using this, he just has to input a place that is in the database, and the computer will show him the fastest way to get there."
Tails grinned. "Well, the most quickest way would be if Sonic runs there. But as Eggman often builds flying fortresses, we need this plane. But thanks anyway, Ami."
The blue-furred fox twirled around her two tails. "Anytime, Tails! Well, I have to finish this tomorrow. I have to go to the meeting with my friends, most of them have to learn for their exams, and without my aid, they can be pretty hopeless."
Tails laughed. He knew Usagi pretty well. "I can imagine. See ya later, sis!"
As his sister left the room, he put down his toolbox next to the grey plane... and pulled out a Chaos Emerald. The red one.
"Okay," he smiled. "Let's see if you work as well as I'm hoping. You seem to have unlimited powers... so when I use you to power up the new plane, it won't need any fuel."
He attached the emerald to its place in front of the propeller. "There," he said while admiring his work. "That should be sufficient."
He jumped in and started the engine. Powered by the emerald, the plane's propeller rapidly began spinning.
"Away we go," Tails shouted, as the plane rolled out of the hangar and slowly began ascending into the air.
----
Everything went great, until they flew over Station Square. Suddenly, the whole plane started to glow. "Uh-oh," Tails shouted. "What's this?"
And all around its little pilot, the plane began changing shape. Under the wings, arms appeared, and the landing gear turned into shapely, female legs. The propeller was situated on the creature's chest, while on its head, a hard helmet appeared. Tails had only time to hang onto the creature's wings as it shouted:
"CYCLONE!"
'Oh my god,' Tails thought. 'That was amazing! I wonder how this is possible. Is it a reaction of the Chaos Emerald?'
It doesn't look like it, as the daimon ripped the red gem off its chest and smiled. "This will be a nice present for my mistress," she grinned. "But first, I need your pure heart."
The daimon Cyclone suddenly turned around and nearly threw Tails off. She spread out her arms and wings and dove towards the coastline, next to the Station Square Hotel.
"Whaaaaaaah!" Tails shouted as the daimon's speed increased. "Stop it! We're gonna crash! Mayday! Mayday!"
Cyclone turned around her head. "We're landing shortly... please do NOT fasten your seat belts. He, he, he..."
Cyclone had planned to just ram her small passenger into one of the palm trees. But just before this happened, Tails kicked her on the head and began twirling his tails. Flying up like a tiny helicopter, he was able to land safely on the beach.
Unfortunately, Cyclone miscalculated her flight angle because of that kick and crashed right into a palm tree.
"Phew," Tails said. "That was close."
The daimon got up and rubbed her head. "Grrrr," she snarled. "That hurt!"
Tails gulped. That looked like trouble.
----
Sonic was just relaxing at the hotel's swimming pool, as he saw Tails and Cyclone coming down. He winced as he heard the crash and groaned. "Oh man, Tails... have you gotten yourself in trouble again, little buddy?" And he ran to the crash site with Sonic speed.
----
As Angel Island was a little hard to reach, the Senshi meetings were being held in Makoto's apartment, which was situated near the train station.
Rei still glared at Minako, which made the blonde bat wince. "I still don't know what's worse: The fact that Rouge wants to train you to become a master thief or that you actually like the idea. And you wanted to steal the Master Emerald, of all things!"
Minako grimaced and bowed her head again and again. "Sorrysorrysorry, I'm so sorry! Won't happen again! I just didn't know that it was that important."
"It's not only important," Rei snapped. "It's the only thing that keeps our whole island floating. If you had stolen it, the island had crashed down into the sea, together with you and me!"
"Wow," Makoto said while nibbling on a carrot. "Your job as one of its protectors must be pretty hard, Rei."
Usagi grinned. "Can that stone also make my homework finish itself on its own? That would be cool."
Ami shook her head. "Usagi, you just have to study harder," the blue fox scolded the hedgehog. "How do you plan on saving the world, if you can't even handle simple Algebra?"
"Algebra?" Usagi asked featherbrained. "Is that some kind of animal?"
The others just sighed.
'I miss Luna,' Usagi thought. 'She would have immediately scolded me for that... but I still somehow miss her voice.'
Suddenly, they all heard a loud crash coming from the beach.
They all looked up. "A daimon?" Makoto asked.
"Perhaps," Rei replied. "But we should take a look anyways. If it was a plane that crashed, there may be injured people."
Usagi munched on her lunch. "Man, always when I'm eating," she mumbled with a full mouth.
----
When Sonic arrived at the scene, he could see Tails kneeling next to the hotel's wall. The daimon had knocked him back.
Cyclone grinned. "And now, for your heart crystal..." She opened a little lid over her stomach and uncovered a small black star that was situated directly on her skin. A beam of black light shot out of the star and hit Tails directly on his chest.
When he heard his little buddy scream, Sonic snarled and rushed into battle.
