Headcannon For Sonic Forces.
Basically this Headcannon has Tails taken from the Resistance, tortured for 3 months, losing a tail, partially losing vision in his right eye, and being exerted to so much pain his voice is now nothing but a hoarse whisper.
For this time Tails belived his friends would save him, but then Dr. Eggman shows him the truth. Using Silvers Power, they opened a portal to another dimension and took a Tails from there. Dr. Eggman explained that when another version is pulled across the dimensions they are injectes with memories of the previous version and given the form of said version.
Tails was heartbroken, watching them hug and welcome the other Tails back. He struck up a bargin with the Doctor. He would help him on his side, but he wanted only one thing in return.
"I want Sonic dead at my feet... I want to be the one to kill him."
Eggman agreed and showed him his facilities... and The Phantom Ruby. Stolen from another dimension by his robots and now used to power his War Machines.
Tails looked at the ruby, its purple glow reflecting off his eyes, he wanted its power. It was the key to his revenge...

After knowing of his fate, being left behind by The Resistance, Tails now worked with Doctor Eggman for the Eggman Empire. He was now, in the middle of Villains, Mercenaries, and Robots, and now he called himself one of them. He helped the doctor with his scheme to find an ultimate power source, he had made millions of Phantom Ruby Prototypes, but none had made a breakthrough as the real thing did. They either broke, shattered, or vanished, due to the Phantom Rubyâs power infused into them. Every single failure made Tails ornery, and even more upset as nothing seemed to be working. He then had an idea, the Real Ruby was attached into a machine that powered Eggmanâs Robotic Facility, to make another replica it would need a host. Tails made a compositions notebook on the theory and presented it to the Doctor.
Eggman took the notebook and read about the theory, he hummed questionably and fixed his glasses from time to time. After a few more of this and some silence, Eggman put the papers down and looked the Fox straight in the eyes.
âIt is an interesting theory, one that my mind was pondering for quite some timeâŚâ
Eggmanâs Words made Tails confident in a strange way.
âHowever, your methods of achieving this are questionable at bestâŚâ
Eggman flipped open the book to a tab that was marked earlier by him in the reading.
âIt says here, and I quote.
âI do not intend to use mechanical means to achieve a catalyst for the Prototype Ruby.ââ
He shuts the book again and the light reflects off of his glasses.
âThen tell me, my dear traitor Fox boy, what do you intend to useâŚ?â
Tails smirked and leaned forward in his chair opposite from Eggman.
âIsn't it obvious Doctor? I intend to use a Live Test Subject.â
Eggman grumbled, he knew what other method there would be, but he wasn't convinced on the practice.
âExplain this little plan of yours Miles.â
Tails hadn't heard that name in a while, he sighed and leaned back to get comfortable.
âYour forces crave power Eggman, they would do anything for it, to climb to the top. So we use that drive to our advantage, we spread rumors of unlimited power⌠One that could rival The Ultimate Lifeform himself. Then people would want to try and seize it, then we strikeâŚâ
Tails pounds the table for emphasis.
âWe have an open offer to everyone, try your luck and see if anyone can handle the power of the Phantom RubyâŚâ
Eggman listened to the Fox boy, then grins slightly at his last sentence and the methods he was offering.
âWhat makes you think that anyone could handle the Phantom Rubyâs power?â
âIâve seen Mobians take the power of Chaos Emeralds and Sol Emeralds⌠If they can handle that power, then one can handle the Phantom RubyâŚâ
Eggman started to laugh at the boy, making Tails confused.
âWhat's so funny Doctor?â
Eggman stood up slightly from his chair and smiled.
âDo you know how powerful the Ruby is boy? What number on the scale it reads?â
âI did extensive research on the Ruby, far before your kind even knew of it⌠The Ruby has enough power to make my entire facility produce power tenfold⌠My robots scanned the Master Emerald shortly after if I was to switch the two. My entire facility would only have enough power to make the lights turn on.â
âI-I don't see your pointâŚâ
Tails stuttered because of the sheer magnitude of the Ruby, Eggman could see right through it.
âYes it really is amazing, isn't it? The Phantom Rubyâs power baffles even my mind at timesâŚâ
Tails looked over to the side, then thought of something.
âDoctor, Iâm not asking anyone to take the full power of the Phantom Ruby⌠We just need a fraction and if it is as great as your making out to be, then we only need that fraction to make your army stronger!â
Eggman hummed, putting a hand on his chin, scratching it, Tails took this opportunity and rushed to Eggman with his notes turning to a page with his calculations.
Tails pointed to the power a prototype could take without breaking on its own.
âThe power already is immense clocking in at 100,000 MegaWatts of power! On a Chaotic Level that's immense, with a Physical Host, it could double or even triple!â
The Doctor nodded his head and took his notes, jotting down a formula.
âNow⌠if we double that the hostâs power would be on a Chaotic LevelâŚâ
Eggman did some math and the answer made their jaws drop.
âThat is⌠beyond anything Iâve seen from Sonic or Blaze or even SilverâŚâ
Eggman then sighed, looking over in defeat.
âAnd they only clock in at 500,000, to have someone from my army try it, as greedy as they are, we would have no army in a matter of days⌠I cannot allow that to happen Tails.â
Eggman got out of chair fully and shook his head.
âBack to the drawing board, I supposeâŚâ
Tails saw the doctor leave and felt angry at his back to him, how dare he do this to him? Eggman may have taken him in away from the resistance and gave him a second chance, minus the initial torture, he still didn't find the Doctorâs authority and thinking to be completely right. He had to think of something, something quick to make this plan work. Tails knew it would work, it was going to work, he just needed the Doctor to approve it! Something anything to stop him from leaving!
He blurted out loudly to the doctor and then instantly regretted it, was he crazy?
Eggman stopped in his tracks however and humored the boy.
âSome things never change from you Tails, your heroic, âI can do anythingâ attitude is one of them⌠Your Chaotic level has only clocked in at 35,000. Your body would shrivel and die from the Phantom Ruby's sheer power⌠Perhaps you lost your common sense when your tail was taken off?â
Tails grunted and held onto his last tail, looking at it in shame and sadness, but then his mind had an idea from the same disability he had.
âWell if this is true Eggman, what have you got to lose?â
He smirked and walked towards him, knowing from his face he had hooked him in.
âYou have all my notes⌠And Iâve served my purpose, haven't I? If I try this, then youâll be getting rid of your one potential problem and youâll even give your boys a little morale boost. Seeing a hero die is always fun right?â
Tails stood face to face with the doctor, grinning at him, Eggman grinned back chuckling a little.
âIn fact iâm practically dead already aren't I?â
âHehehe⌠I think maybe you losing that tail made you mad, but you make a good point. Alright, weâll do your little plan Tails if you understand your life would be in jeopardy that isâŚ?â
Tails nodded and let out a laugh of his own.
Eggmanâs smile grew and nodded, they would do it tomorrow in front of all the Eggman Empire. If Tails lived, he would be the only one with the Phantom Ruby Prototype in him, if he died⌠then he died.
