Curate, connect, and discover
Kitsune Tails AU time.
This is mostly coming from the fact that Tails two tails plus the seven chaos emeralds is nine and my brain won’t stop trying to make a connection between the two. (i know basic math wow so amazing have a whole college degree and everything to show for it). Is there a connection lore wise absolutely not…but that wont stop my string and cork board conspiracy brain from trying to find a connection anyways.
So this Au starts when all the characters are just a little older (like maybe by like 5ish years or something idk) and Sonic and Tails are fighting Eggman for the chaos emeralds their age old song and dance. And for what ever reason just Tails goes super by himself for the first time to beat Eggman.
When he gets out of super form though only 6 emeralds leave him and scatter the 7th stays….and now he has a third tail.
Queue panicked and confused screaming from Tails and Sonic cause
“WHY DO YOU HAVE A NEW TAIL?????!!!!??”
“I DON’T KNOW YOU USE THE EMERALDS ALL TIME AND I DON”T SEE YOU SPROUTING NEW LIMBS!!!”
So they’re both distressed cause WTF??? is going on and take that confused screaming panic all the way to Angel Island to visit the only expert they know, Knuckles.
He has no idea either what is happening and is somewhat freaked out too (he’s a lot freaked out but he’s not gonna show it cause even he didn’t know the emeralds could give people limbs) and queue his yelling hysterics of
“SONIC WHAT DID YOU DO???!!”
“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!!!!”
But Knuckles does try the age old tradition of punch the emerald out of Tails….the emerald stays in and Tails goes through a tree.
After a bit of meditating on it though Knuckles can sense the emerald inside Tails will eventually come out and it’s transferring some kind of power to Tails. As for the extra tail he has no idea what the fuck that’s about they’re on their own with that one.
Sonic is of course concerned cause his little brother just gained a new limb randomly and no one has any idea what that means. So him and Tails set off to go find out what all this is about (Sonic gets real bad at hovering over Tails and constantly checking on him through all this, cause like people don’t just grow tails, lol, randomly and he doesn’t know how this may effect Tails and is just worried)
Eventually the chaos emerald does pop out and scatter off to one of the random four corners the emeralds tend to go off to to recharge (it’s not drained of power just low battery pretty much from what ever it just did to Tails). And it’s around this time that they find information on Kitsune and all that lore.
Queue another freak out from Tails cause “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MAY POTENTIALLY LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS!! WHERE’S SILVER DID HE KNOW ABOUT THIS??? DOES HE KNOW ME IN THE FUTURE???!!” (somewhere Silver just suddenly has a sense of dread someone’s mad at him for some reason)
Idk just a silly little AU that’s been on the brain have fun people.
