I posted this on another forum and Fanfiction.net, so I thought maybe I'd post it here to see how people like it. I have more chapters, but for now, I'll just post the first chapter. Chapter One: Welcome to Gear Point “I wonder what happened here?” Tails asked himself as he surveyed the wreckage he’d discovered somewhere deep in the forest. Scraps of metal, bolts, rivets, broken gears, and valves seemed to be everywhere. He’d never actually seen technology anything like this…It seemed sort of primitive to him, but at the same time, there was something rather unique about it…He tried to decide what it was as he picked up a gear that had remained intact to examine it. “Huh?” he looked up as something shined in the light, catching his attention. He went over and moved over a couple of sheets of metal to find some sort of necklace. It had a fine silver chain, and it had a crystal charm, shaped like a gear similar to the gears from the wreckage of whatever the machine had originally been. “Wow,” he said softly to himself, slipping it over his head and around his neck. He looked down, deciding he liked the way it looked upon his chest. “Eh heh, I’m not usually much for jewelry, but I kinda like it!” he said to himself, smiling. “Besides, a gear is a pretty good charm for an inventor! I wonder what something like this would be doing in a wreck like this, though? It seems to be the only thing here that wasn’t damaged in some way, too…” the young fox shrugged, deciding to head back to his workshop. He could probably find out more about it later, but for now he was satisfied with finding that trinket in the remains. Later, Sonic caught up with him in Station Square. “Hey Tails!” he greeted him cheerfully before he saw Tails’ find. “Hey, where’d you get the snazzy necklace?” “Oh…I found it earlier today in some kind of machine wreckage,” Tails replied, a little embarrassed he’d forgotten to take it off before meeting him. “Who would’ve had something like that during a wreck?” Sonic asked, confused. “That’s what I was wondering…” Tails replied before there was a loud explosion from somewhere ahead of them. “We’ll worry about it later, little bud, but now looks like somethin’s up over there!” Sonic replied, running off, with Tails closely following behind him with the aid of his tails. He stopped short, however, when he saw what it was. It appeared to be some huge metallic machine, and with a jolt Tails realized that this machine had the same technological design as the wrecked one he’d found that day. Steam rose from various parts of the machine’s build, as it seemed to be powered by steam. It seemed to be some sort of large mech as it appeared to have what seemed like arms and legs. As Tails stood there staring, it suddenly took him by surprise as one of its metallic fists slammed into him, sending him through the wall of a nearby building. “TAILS!” Sonic cried as he saw what happened. “You **Bleep**, I’ll…” Sonic was cut off as he was sent flying with a simple flick of the robot’s fingers. Tails shakily got up again, bleeding from where he was cut by the sheer amount of metal and glass the wall he’d gone through contained. The robot grabbed him again, slamming him against another wall so he was level with its head. The head slid open, revealing a wild-eyed wolf glaring at him with rage. “Where’d you get that necklace?!” he demanded as the robot tightened its grip on him. “WHERE’D YOU GET IT?!” Tails was petrified with terror, unable to find his voice to answer him. He’d never been so scared, he was about to be killed for no obvious reason. He was beginning to regret ever taking the necklace in the first place. Tails was losing consciousness, sure this half-deranged wolf was about to finish him off. Suddenly, the gear charm started glowing as he passed out, and with a sudden flash, Tails was gone. “I-It activated? How the hell could it have activated for a k-…” he was cut off as Sonic suddenly ran back, curling into a ball and shooting right through his machine. The gears in the robot ground against each other as the steam’s pressure increased, until it exploded, taking its creator with it. Sonic looked around, wondering what had happened to Tails…Little did he know he had actually been transported to another dimension… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tails woke up a few hours later, finding himself in a bed. His wounds had been dressed with multiple bandages, including many bandages around his torso. He tried sitting up, but a wave of pain shot through his sides, forcing him to lay back down. “Easy there, young one, you’ve broken a few ribs from whatever happened to you!” the voice belonged to a middle-aged raccoon sitting at a nearby table in the room. He stood up, striding over to him. “I must say, you gave me quite a scare there…Just appeared right out of nowhere, all cut up and bleeding, with broken ribs to boot! Though what REALLY surprised me were your tails…There was enough blood, I thought your tail somehow got split down the middle at first!” Tails shyed back a little from him. “W-Who are you? W-Where am I?” he asked, his voice cracking a little. “Hmm? Ah, how rude of me…My name is Shayne Adams, owner of one of the finest repair shops in Gear Point,” the raccoon introduced himself. “Gear Point?” Tails asked curiously. “You mean you haven’t heard of it?” Shayne asked, surprised. “How could you not have heard of…” he then realized something with a jolt as he suddenly remembered the necklace Tails had been wearing. It COULDN’T be…But he has no idea…This just can’t be a coincedence, it has to be it…But how did he…? he shook his head. “Never mind, if you don’t know, I guess you don’t know…Well, anyway, you need to rest, it’ll probably be at least a couple weeks before your ribs heal enough for you to become active again,” Tails nodded in agreement, resting his head against the pillow once more. Shayne went to leave, but as he opened the door, he looked back again, realizing something. “By the way, I don’t think I asked your name…” “Tails,” Tails replied, still pretty tired from the beating he’d taken earlier. He closed his eyes and soon drifted back to sleep again. Several weeks later, Tails was finally healed enough to get out of bed. His ribs were still fractured, but they were well on their way to healing. When Shayne found how much his condition had improved, he took him outside, showing him exactly what kind of place Gear Point actually was. “Wow!” he exclaimed as he stepped outside. Gear Point was a town set in a mountainous region, and as he looked around, he found a mechanical wonder residing within the town. Steam-powered machines like the ones the wolf from before were abundant in the area. The buildings themselves looked partially mechanical, fabricated from metal, bolts, gears, and other such components. It was like nothing the young fox had ever seen. “Wow, I never dreamed things like this could be used with this kind of technology!” Tails said as he walked with Shayne. “Yep, best technology around here!” Shayne remarked. “You seem to be interested in machines!” “Yeah, I used to build pretty advanced machines back where I came from!” Tails put in cheerfully. “Hmm…Well, how about I teach you about some of the machinery here since you’re staying at my shop with me? I’m something of an expert with them myself!” Tails cheerfully agreed to this proposal. He didn’t know where he was or how he got there, but he was starting to think that maybe being here wouldn’t be too bad after all. |
