After once more checking the readout to make certain that everything was operating normally, the two-tailed fox returned his eyes to skies ahead and concentrated on flying his biplane. He could feel the wind in his orange fur as the Tornado soared through the air, causing his red scarf to billow behind him as it was caught in the breeze. Thankfully, his eyes were protected by the brown aviator goggles he wore over his face. They allowed him to see unimpeded, but he almost wished he couldn't. It had only been a few months since he'd been back here, but he could see that even that small amount of time hadn't been very kind to his old home.
Chunks of the Great Forest that surrounded Mobotropolis had been gutted and cut down as the Eggman Empire had begun moving into the area. They were still miles away from the city, but it hurt to see the beautiful forestry he had grown up around harmed so. It didn't seem as though they'd been able to get any closer to Mobotropolis than this so far, but seeing them gain any ground in what should have been firmly anti-Eggman territory was disconcerting. What had been happening here while he'd been gone? Once again he felt a sense of guilt for not checking in with his friends and family sooner, knowing that it had been a mistake to stay away for as long as he had.
Mobotropolis could soon be seen on the horizon, and he smiled wistfully at the sight of the city. But that smile quickly faded as he spied something else. "What the-? What is that?" he muttered as he activated the magnification lenses built into his goggles. What he saw made his eyes widen, and he accelerated the Tornado's pace in the hopes that he could arrive before it was too late. The Eggman Empire must have been staging it's big push to take over the region, as the city was under attack by a horde of badniks. That wasn't the most dangerous weapon the Empire had brought to bear today, though. Standing several stories tall, walking on four mechanical legs, and bearing the evil visage of it's inspiration; the creation known as the Egg Camel was stomping towards Mobotropolis.
Miles 'Tails' Prower armed the weapons he had installed into the Tornado as he approached, knowing that any kind of reunion with his loved ones was going to have to wait. First he had to try and save his home.
