I opened a portal to the West End Cemetery in Möbius and hopped through it and looked back at Mike. He jumped through and face planted in the dirt. I jumped and closed the portal, then helped Mike to his feet. He brushed the dirt from his head and spat some dirt as well.

Mike: Thanks. Really needed that.

Me: The spill, or the hand?

Mike: Your help getting back up. I appreciate it.

Me: No problem.

Mike: Where are we, anyways?

I looked around and saw that the cemetery had a small forest behind the metal bars on the other side of the inside.

Me: West End Cemetery. I dug up a few graves.

Mike: Wait, you what?

Me: Yep. I dug me up some graves. Jackal graves, to be exact. Brought them back to here.

Mike: While that's cool and all, where do we go now?

Me: Oh you know. Just a walk through a desert, but I have an idea.

Mike: And whats that idea.

I looked over at him and held his shoulders.

Me: We're in a dimension where there's a fast as fuck Hedgehog and a child genius of a fox, right?

Mike: So you're just going to walk up to Tails and say "Hey, Fox Boy. I need to borrow your plane. That okay?"

Me: No. I'm going to ask HIM to FLY us there.

Mike: Well, better than crash landing in quicksand.

Me: They're this way.

I let go of him and started walking to the boy's house. I kept looking over my shoulder every now and again to see if Mike was still following me, which he was. I stood on their porch step and knocked on their door. Mike hopped onto the porch with me and stood next to me.

Mike: What should we do once they answer?

Me: No clue. We ask them for the plane?

Mike: No. I thought we were going to ask one of them to fly us there.

Me: What about grabbing a car?

Mike: None of them are going to drive us through a fucking desert. We need a plane.

I heard the lock on the door click, and it opened, and Tails stood right in front of us and yawned.

Tails: Do you know what time it is? Its almost 11:30.

Me: I know, but we really need something.

Tails: A dick up your ass? Subtle. I'm not giving it to you.

Me: You know, for being only 11, you REALLY have a swearing issue.

Tails: Does it look like I give a fuck? What do you need, Shade?

Me: Well, I was wondering if you could fly us to the desert. From what I know, the Jackal base is there, and we need to get there.

Tails: *yawns* Don't you have a Phantom Ruby you can use?

Yep. I had a brain fart and completely forgot about it. I just slapped my hand against my head and shook it softly, chuckling a bit.

Me: God, I'm a fucking idiot.

Tails: Now if you'll excuse me, *yawns* shit. I want to get some sleep, okay?

Me: You go do that now, Miles. We'll be seeing you around.
