Miles "Tails" Prower (WI01)

## Miles "Tails" Prower

**Miles "Tails" Prower** is a supporting character from *What If Sonic Never Lost The Werehog Form?*. After Sonic failed to have his Werehog form stripped away by Dark Gaia, Tails has worked tirelessly between adventures to research more into his condition and possibly develop a cure.

## Personality

Tails' personality is identical to that of his game canon counterpart. His biggest strengths are his intelligence, generosity and drive to help others, but he's sometimes held back by his fears and insecurities, freezing up at critical moments.

His resolve and altruism are showcased by his mission to cure Sonic of his suffering at the hands of his Werehog form, working day and night with little rest.

## History

### Sonic Unleashed Arc

Tails' role in the story of *Sonic Unleashed* in *WI01* is identical to that of the games, but he only makes a cameo appearance at the end of Part 1 after Sonic says his goodbyes to Chip, flying alongside Sonic in the Tornado-1 while he runs.

### Sonic Colors Arc

With Sonic off the grid since the conclusion of the Black Knight Arc, Tails travelled alone to Dr. Eggman's Interstellar Amusement Park to see what the Doctor was up to. He came across the scene of Orbot and Cubot terrorizing the Wisps and threatening Cream with their rayguns, stepping in to help. Sonic arrived on the scene before long in his Werehog form, obliterating Eggman's forces and finally giving Tails the chance to catch up with his friend.

The two worked together for the remainder of the arc as per the original *Sonic Colors*, travelling from planet to planet to learn more about Eggman's plans while Tails tried to perfect a Wisp translation feature for his Miles Electric with very mixed results. When everyone was gathered together for to leave and the Nega Mother Wisp attacked, Tails was the one to eventually propose the idea of firing Eggman's planetary mind control cannon at the Mother Wisp in order to fill her with Hyper-Go-On Energy and hopefully revert her back to normal. The plan worked thanks to Tails' single shot hitting its mark, purifying her Nega transformation.

### Sonic Generations Arc

After reuniting with Sonic up in space, Tails had invited his brother to live with him so that they could work at understanding his Werehog body through scientific means. Through testing and machine-based analysis, Tails hoped to further his research into the Dark Gaia Essence's effect on Sonic's body and brain - in turn striving towards potentially curing Sonic of his ailment one day. However, Tails would then prove to be the first victim of the Time Eater's temporal kidnapping scheme, getting petrified as a pale statue isolated from time in White Space. He was thankfully soon rescued by Sonic once he restored Green Hill Zone to it's original state, supporting him through the excursions into Chemical Plant and Sky Sanctuary.

Tails met up with his Classic counterpart while Classic Sonic did battle with the Death Egg Robot, reconvening with both Sonics once they emerged from the Time Gate. When it came time for all the currently rescued allies to come together and discuss their plans once the Sonics had made it to the second Time Gate (himself, Classic Tails, the two incarnations of Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge and Espio), Tails acted as the voice of reason reluctantly testing Sonic's scheme to travel through time and use the Magic Lamp against his own logic, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the plan could work once Classic Sonic revealed he'd come into possession of a Chaos Emerald, bringing up their group total to two. Tails went with the Sonics and his younger counterpart to Night Palace after Chaos Control had been successfully used to create a time portal, but he could do little to help when faced with the sheer power of Alf' Waya wa Layla. During the battle he, Classic Tails and Classic Sonic were knocked out, forcing Sonic to use the World Rings of Hatred, Anger and Sorrow to become the Darkspine Werehog.

Tails came to around the time that Sonic's other allies arrived, revived from their petrification by Sonic's first and only wish on the Magic Lamp. He and the others were transported back to his original timeframe upon the defeat of Alf' Wamaritan, where Sonic soon joined them after breaking out of his brief banishment back to White Space. When it was revealed that Sonic could now no longer return to his base form, Tails comforted him with the reminder that they still had his research to fall back on, and that a cure would eventually be found.

## Powers and abilities

Tails possesses all of the standard abilities of his video game counterpart including enhanced speed, the Spin Jump and Spin Dash techniques, flight via his twin tails and extreme intelligence that he uses to create and operate all manner of gadgets.

## Relationships

### Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic and Tails are best friends, close as brothers and always willing to lend the other a hand when they need it. To help Sonic through his trials at the hands of his Werehog transformation, Tails has worked tirelessly at every opportunity he gets to try and develop ways for Sonic to manage his nightmares and potentially rid himself of the form forever.
