A/N: Ok and In back on this story. Sorry for the time away, I've been busy and erring distracted lately, but I hope to get a good writing schedule going again soon. Anyways let's get on with the chapter and skip the comment replies this time since they are a little old.

Tails, Bean, Bark, and Nack were all beginning to walk to Knothole, starting to plan out their heist to get Tails' plane back from Freedom HQ.
"So how long do you think it will take us to get there?" Bean asked with one of his trademark goofy smiles as he followed behind the rest of the group.
"Well we will probably need to set up a camp somewhere tonight and then we should get there by mid afternoon tomorrow." Tails answered with his eyes studying a map in his hands as he led the group with Nack walking by his side, helping him navigate.
The group kept walking until it had gotten dark and the set up camp in a small clearing in the forest, dragging some fallen logs to sit on and making a small campfire that they all say around, sitting in silence until Tails spoke up.
"So what is the plan to get my plane back once we get to Freedom HQ?" Tails asked everyone around the fire, open to any suggestion.
"Well I would have to say that we need to leave the big man out of this, he'll probably blow our cover if we try sneaking around with him in Knothole." Nack said as he pointed over at Bark who sat there silent as usual.
"Oh sorry big guy, but don't you worry I'll bring you back a souvenir!" Bean said excitedly while thinking of a present to get his large friend.
"So we can't bring Bark but once we are in the base I guess Bean could make a good distraction while we find where they keep their vehicles and hopefully we can find my plane." Tails told them while looking over at Nack to see what his input was.
"Well I think it may be better if Bean goes with you, he'll be able to cause a lot of chaos if you find yourselves in a tight spot while I watch out for anyone trying to sneak up on you two." Nack told Tails as he looked at him and Bean, a little concerned about how Bean will operate during the mission.
"That sounds reasonable, then after we get my plane back we go pick up Bark and fly off." Tails agreed as he shrugged his shoulders.
After the conversation had ended everyone went to do their own thing before turning in for the night, Beam was messing around with Bark, Nack was warming up by the campfire, and Tails had started to read the book on the Ixian Magics that he had found in his dad's office.
'Dad what were you involved in that I still don't know about?' Tails thought to himself nervously as he kept reading through the book, a little worried that he didn't even know who his father really was.
Everyone had fallen asleep except for Bark who had offered to stay up and watch their camp as well as keep the fire going so they would stay warm.
Once everyone woke up in the morning and gathered their things, they got ready to keep traveling to Knothole and Freedom HQ.
"Don't worry bud I promise you that you can take a nice long nap while we find Tails' plane." Bean told Bark as he hopped up onto his shoulder.
"Can't promise that you'll be able too sleep too long, we will want to make this quick with no distractions, so be ready to get in once we pick you up." Nack warned them as he sighed, getting a little annoyed by Bean's childish behavior.
Tails kept walking with the others in silence, lost in thought as he kept his eyes forward on the forest ahead of them until Nack mentioned his name.
"Kid, hey kid, pay attention!" Nack barked a little since he had been trying to get his attention for the past few minutes while he was spacing out.
"Sorry Nack, what is it?" Tails replied as he snapped back into attention to see what he had to say.
"You may want to leave your pack with Bark so you don't lose anything or get slowed down while we're doing this." Nack suggested as he calmed down after realizing that Tails was listening.
"Oh sure, umm here you go Bark." Tails said as he took off his pack and paused for a moment before handing it to him, knowing that everything he had to remember his dad and all the stuff he gathered from the house was still in there.
"Don't worry Tails he'll keep it safe. Let's just focus on getting your plane back." Bean assured him as he smiled while looking down at Tails from atop Bark's shoulder.
Tails nodded his head and smiled back at Bean before turning his head back to the trees ahead, getting lost in thought once more during the next few hours that it took them to find a place for Bark to hide and arrive in the outskirts of Knothole.
"Alright we need to sneak in, find the hanger and get out as quickly as possible, if someone sees you then be ready to fight if you have to." Nack warned them after they went around
Knothole and found Freedom HQ.
The three of them quickly and carefully ran through a side door of Freedom HQ, Nack going last to watch out for anyone coming from behind them. After entering Tails and Bean stuck close to the walls, peeking around every corner to make sure no one was up ahead.
"They must be out on a mission or something." Tails whispered as they found two large sliding metal doors.
"Looks like we did it boys." Nack said as he smirked, but his mood quickly changed when he found a passcode lock was keeping the doors shut.
"Well we can't waste anytime trying to break through the lock, do you have any ideas?" Tails asked Nack and waited for an answer only to be interrupted by Bean.
"Hey guys don't worry about it, I got this one handled." Bean said as he stepped over to the door.
Nack had then suddenly grabbed Tails by the arm and ran down the hallway and around the corner with him just before they heard an explosion coming from the door.
"Why in the blazes would you do that you maniac!" Nack yelled as he and Tails came back from around the corner to see pieces of burnt and melted metal everywhere and Bean standing there without a scratch on him.
"Well we couldn't waste anytime trying to find another way in or for either of you two to figure out a way to get it open so I figured that this was much easier." Bean said while smiling, figuring that he had done a good job.
"Yeah, but you let every single person for miles know where we are!" Nack scolded him as he pulled the Bean and Tails into the aircraft hangar to start looking for their plane.
"Stop right there!" A voice shouted from the hallway they had just ran out of.
The three of them had finally found Tails' plain when a female rabbit wearing a tan cowboy hat and a light pink tank top with a robot arm and legs.
"I got this." Bean said as he lit the fuse on another one of his bombs before throwing it in the direction of their pursuer.
"Bean no!" Tails shouted as he saw the bomb flying towards her.
Tails closed his eyes and felt a surge of energy flow through him as he imagined himself reaching out to grab the bomb in the air to stop it, accidentally calling upon some of the magic her learned about in Mogul's book, causing a green tendril of energy to shoot out from his hand and envelop the bomb in the air, letting it explode in the air causing a few of the ceiling panels to fall and block the pursuer from getting any closer.
"Oh wow that was so cool!" Bean cheered as he was hopping up and down on a seat of the plane, not seeming to care that he had just thrown a bomb at a person.
"We can talk about this later you dolt, let's just get out of here!" Nack said as he forcibly sat Bean down and pulled Tails up into the plane, sitting him next to Bean before starting the plane.
Nack then flew the plane out of he hangar and flew over to pick up Bark.
"Oh my gosh Tails you gotta tell me how you did that cool magic thingy back there!" Bean spouted out, still as excited as before.
Tails didn't say anything and took the controls after a little while so he could fly them to the island, feeling a little nervous after he realized he had actually managed to pull off magic, meaning his father must have been even more dangerous than he realized since he was the one who wrote the book.
After they landed everyone quickly got off the plane and went to do their own thing Bean was running around excitedly while Bark seemed a little annoyed while he chased him, Nack went to start surveying the island, and Tails just sat near the plane trying to rethink and weigh his options.
Sure he had gotten his plane back and that was great, but what was he going to do now. The freedom fighters would surely be looking for him after the break in and stealing his plane back, not to mention they had probably searched his house by now and found out who his adoptive father was, and he knew that the moment he left the island and went anywhere where he would be recognized he would be at risk of being caught. He just couldn't believe how stressful and intense his life had gotten recently and he knew it wasn't going to be over anytime soon.
Tails then sighed and smiled slightly, deciding to give his mind a break as he got up and went to walk down the beach, taking off his shoes so he could feel the warm sand and cooling waters touch him, he could finally relax for a moment since he no longer had to deal with any troubles concerning his father or anyone looking for him even though he knew those problems were still there he just sighed and took it all in.

Back at Freedom HQ
"Sorry Bun, but could you explain what happened again?" Sonic asked as he looked at the wrecked hangar.
"Well it's just as I told Sal, there were these three guys that broke into the hangar and I tried to catch them before they stole the plane that Fiona brought in, but one of them tossed a bomb my way and just before I could react it was stopped in mid air by some kid who was with them. Too bad it wrecked the place or I would have caught those thieves." Bunnie said as she sighed, getting a little tiered of having to explain the story so many times.
"Well do you think you recognized any of them?" Sonic asked as he tapped his foot on the ground, a little annoyed that he hadn't been here to stope the intruders himself.
"Yeah I think I know all of them in fact. The one who was leading them was Nack, he had brought Bean along to blow open the doors I guess, but the last one was a kid named Tails who  Sally believes is connected to Mammoth Mogul after she and I searched his place awhile back when we were looking for the thieves who ran off with a chaos emerald a few weeks back." Bunnie told him and they suddenly noticed someone was watching them.
"Amy is that you?" Sonic asked as he looked over, able to see a small bit of pink poking out from the door frame.
"Yeah it is, sorry Sonic. But did I hear you mention Tails?" Amy asked as she looked at Bunnie and Sonic curiously.
