This is a Sonic fan-fic about Eggman and Tails in the Sonic X universe. Copyright owned by SEGA, Sonic Team and 4Kids Entertainment.

It's our two-tailed friend versus the egg-bellied baron in this thrilling fic! The Chaotix have found a Chaos Emerald which could be the answer to their money problems.

They host a seaplane race and whoever comes first gets the emerald. The show becomes a sell-out when everyone hears that ace pilots Miles "Tails" Prower and Dr. Eggman are in the race.

Chaos for the Chaotix
"What are we gonna do, fellas?" Vector asked for the hundredth time. "We haven't had a case in months and the bills are piling up. How are we gonna solve our cash flow problem?"

"We should become a rock band!" Said Charmy.

"Oh no! I'm not that going through that again. At our first and only paid performance, you had too much sugar at the all-you-can-eat buffet and went zipping around the entire place during your drum solo. It took me a year to pay off that guy's medical bill for removing the drum stick."

"Where did it end up again?"

"For the last time Charmy, I'm not gonna tell you. You're far too young."

"Aww... Why Mr. Cranky Croc have to be so mean?"

"What'd you just call me?"

"Cranky Croc! Cranky Croc! Cranky Croc! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!"

"Why you little- Get back here!"

Vector chased after Charmy out the front door. The bee was faster than Vector because he was in the air, but Vector kept on running, with Espio not too far behind.

"Vector can't catch me! Vector can't catch me!" Charmy yelled.

Vector kept running after Charmy who just went into a picnic area. Charmy flew over one of the tables. Vector, oblivious to the table, ran after him and tripped over the table, falling jaw first into the ground.

The crocodile's jaws had managed to plow a hole into the ground. Vector coughed up the soil, and along with it, a Chaos Emerald.

"A Chaos Emerald! Ha ha! Charmy I'm so happy right now I might not even kill you!"

"Yay!"

"Espio, this could be the answer to our money problems."

"Are you suggesting we sell it?"

"What? No. Anybody could get it then. Sonic and the others should get it, but they should have to win it, in say... I don't know... a big competition that everyone on the planet would want to see? We could host the competition and sell tickets to it."

"You know you're smarter than you look."

"Thanks! Wait..."

"The competition would have to be something they were sure to win. So it's obviously going to be a race with Sonic."

"Too predictable. Sonic would win hands down."

"My point exactly."

"Listen, you know Sonic would win. I know Sonic would win. And everybody else knows Sonic would win. They're not going to see something that predictable."

"How about a space ship battle? Space ships flying going zap, zap, zap with their lasers!" Said Charmy.

"Charmy..." Said Espio.

"Wait, Espio. He could be on to something. Tails is an ace pilot, right?" Vector said.

"Right."

"So why not hold a plane race."

"Just a plain old race? Seems kind of boring." Said Charmy.

"Not a plain old race! An airplane race, although that is pretty ordinary."

"Why not make it a seaplane race?" Said Espio. "Plenty of fresh open water and air, and the high waves and rock structures by the coast could really make it difficult for the pilots to fly."

"Now that sounds both interesting, and money-making."

The Ego of Eggman
Down in Eggman's beachside base, the doctor was giving his Eggmobile a tune-up when...

"Doctor! Doctor!" Said Bocoe.

"We have to show you something!" Said Decoe.

"Well, what it is?" Eggman asked.

"This, Doctor." Bokkun said, handing Eggman the flyer.

"A seaplane competition? Held by the Chaotix? Chaos Emerald first prize? HA! Excellent work, boys. The competition's in one week. That's plenty of time for me to build a genius new seaplane and think of plenty of genius ways to cheat."

"If he was such a genius you'd think he would not have to cheat." Said Bocoe.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, sir! I-"

"-Am absolutely right. I'm a genius. Why should I have to cheat? My creations are bound to win. I shall, naturally, create the greatest, the fastest and the deadliest of seaplanes. Are weapons allowed on the crafts?"

Decoe took a quick look at the flyer.

"'All seaplanes entered in the competition should, preferably, be without weapons.' It doesn't say they're not."

"Excellent. Now, boys, it's time for me to put my genius to good use."

"Do you think he's trying to beat his own record for saying 'genius' again, Bocoe?" Decoe asked.

"Probably."

The Race Is On!
It was the day of the competition and citizens from all over the planet gathered in. At first when they heard about the race itself, they were intrigued. When they heared Tails was flying in it, they thought that it'd be quite the show. But when they found out that both Tails and Eggman, two of the world's greatest engineers and pilots, were flying, it was rated as an unmissable experience.

"Just be careful out there and do your best." Sonic told Tails. He was giving him a quick prep talk before the race.

"Doesn't matter if Eggman wins and gets the emerald, we'll just get it back from him later like we always do."

"No way Eggman's gonna win. Ol' foxy here's a born champion, ain't that right, Sport?" Said Vector. "Oh, and I really appreciate you guys doing this for us. Although, with you flying against these chumps, you might as well just grab the emerald now and forget the race."

"Thanks, Vector. I'll give all your customers a real show to enjoy." Said Tails.

"I know you will, Kiddo."

With that, Tails walked to his plane to make some final adjustments.

"You seem really good with children, Vector." Said Vanilla. Cream wanted to see Tails flying in the race, so she brought her to watch.

"Err... Well, I just love the little guys, y'know?"

"Vector! Charmy just got his hands on some cotton candy and has gone out of control. He's scaring away all the customers and popping all the kid's balloons with his stinger."

"Why that little... I mean, kids will be kids."

"Indeed they will." Vanilla replied. "Oh, and thank you again for letting us in free."

"Don't mention it. And now if you'll excuse me, I've got to deal with a certain bumbling bee."

"Good evening, my kitsune friend." Said Eggman.

"Hello, Eggman." Said Tails.

"I just thought I'd let you know that this is going to be a fair fight."

"Yeah right..."

"I'm serious. Why should one such as I have to make traps and tricks when all I need is my genius and expertly crafted seaplane."

Eggman extended his hand to a large, silver hovering device with lasers and a jet engine a few planes down.*

"That's no seaplane, that's your Eggmobile."

"Which is now equipped with a seaplane mode. It replaces the lasers with machine guns and bazookas and the jet engine deactivates. I instead equip three powerful propellers. There's one between the wings, and two on either side. It only needs two to get off the ground, though. The third is for an added speed boost."

Eggman walked over to his Eggmobile and turned it into seaplane mode. The Eggmobile then changed just like he said it would.

The bottom halves of the engines for the two side propellers spun around to reveal lasers cannons which quickly changed to machine guns and bazookas.

"Were racing, not dog fighting. And I'll bet weapons and just adding modifications to a none-seaplane aircraft is against the rules."

"Is that a machine gun at the front of the Tornado?"

"Yeah..."

"And that floating-type landing gear you have there looks new."

"Point made Eggman."

"The race will begin in five minutes." Vector announced through his speaker.

"Better get that flying jalopy of yours ready." Said Eggman and hurried off to his plane.

Within a few minutes, Tails was all set. A clock near the starting line counted down to sixty seconds. One minute until the race started.

Tails warmed up his engine. He got everything set to full power. There was no way he was going to let Eggman win without a fight.

"Thirty seconds to go now, folks." Vector said. "Twenty five... twenty... fifteen... ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, GO!"

Just as Vector shouted "GO!", Charmy simultaneously flapped his checkered flag before flying off to get more cotton candy.

All the racers went at top speed out of the dock. Tails and Eggman were the first out of the water with the others trailing behind.

Tails could smell the salty air as it rushed into his lungs as he took off.

He and all the other racers had to be careful of the rock structures surrounding the coast.

The pilots either flew above them or blasted them to so much rubble with their weapons.

"Why are so many of them armed!?" Vector yelled at Charmy.

"Urgh... I must have made a typo?"

"Typo!? TYPO!?! I'LL SHOW YOU A TYPO!"

Back to the race, as I'd think we'd better, the sooner the better.

Tails and Eggman were neck and neck at the front of everyone else. They had to go around the entire beach, roughly five miles, and back. All while avoiding the dangerous rock structures and high waves. The rules said you had to fly low so they could be seen by the judge, (Espio) and commentator (Vector). So they couldn't fly above the larger obstacles.

Tails pulled off some spectacular tricks to avoid the rocks and waves. Eggman's seaplane took some of the waves, but kept going strong. Tails had to hand it to Eggman; his plane was amazingly well built.

They were both going at top speed now, still together. The rest of the racers had been left behind in the dust by the human and fox.

Tails turned his boost on. He wasn't going to let Eggman win this. No way. But Eggman had his own boost.

Their speeds were matched. Neither of the two had a chance of outdoing the other.

They were both wearing down now. Tails stepped on the gas and gave it everything he had, as did Eggman.

The finish line was in sight. It was a large piece of red tape near the dock wide enough to let two seaplanes through, and, luckily, a bi-plane and an Eggmobile.

They both went at their top speed towards it. They were within inches of the tape and the crowd let out an enormous cheer when they saw the tape break.

Foxfight
The two pulled their planes up to the dock and asked Vector the eagerly awaited question. "Who won?"

"Both of you did. It was a tie." Said Vector.

"Tie? TIE!? I refuse to end this fight with a draw! We'll settle this once and for all, in the sky with missiles and bullets." Eggman said.

"Oh no, you don't! There'll be no dog fighting around here."

"Yeah. We don't even have any dogs." Said the young bee.

"QUIET, CHARMY!"

"Vector, I can take him." Said Tails.

The crocodile looked at Tails straight into his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!"

Vector still wasn't happy about the situation, but he had confidence in the young fox.

"Ladies and gentleman, we have ourselves a dogfight!"

This brought up loud cheering from the crowd. First a race, and now a dog fight between Eggman and Tails. Vector was starting to regret not charging more for the tickets.

"Tails! Eggman! It's all you guys, now." He said.

The two rushed back out of the dock and raised high into the air.

Eggman started firing at some of the taller rock structures with his bazookas in order for them to crush Tails.

The fox used his best maneuvers to dodge the falling rocks rushing towards him, and by some miracle, he made it out alive.

Tails needed a plan. As much as he loathed Eggman, he didn't want to kill him. But he couldn't let him get the emerald either. And that's when he got it.

Tails lured Eggman into following him at top speed. He rushed in and out of the rock structures and made complicated tricks while doing so to throw Eggman off to get his chance. But the doctor was too good a pilot and stuck to Tails like glue.

Tails kept swerving between the rocks. Then, he rushed ahead and turned in opposite direction around the rock, straight towards Eggman.

The doctor was thrown by this and made a hurried maneuver to avoid crashing.

Tails then turned around again and shot Eggman's engines. The Egg Seaplane plummeted into the ocean like a huge boulder. Eggman had been defeated. Tails had won.

The fox celebrated this by putting on an amazing show of aerial acrobatics and then flew into the dock to collect his prize.

Everybody ran over to Tails, eager to congratulate him.

The crowd lifted Tails up into the air and carried him over to the award table. There inside a large gold coloured trophy, was the red Chaos Emerald, shining brightly.

Vector picked up the trophy and gave it to Tails.

"Congratulations, Sport. You beat him!"

"I knew you could do it, Tails." Sonic said while ruffling the young fox's hair.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Eggman shouted out from afar, in his much smaller Eggmobile before flying off to his base.
