Nine the fox

Nine was left alone after Sonic and Shadow returned to their world. The Chaos Council occasionally pestered him, threatening to take over Gloom, but they never showed up. They took the Prism and began terrorizing New York again, but the fox no longer cared. His home was here now, and there were only distant memories of the past. He was sad without Sonic, but he had grown accustomed to loneliness. One day, he was sitting and fixing something. A spark flashed behind him. Nine didn't notice it and continued working. But the same thing happened again, accompanied by a distinctive sound. Then the fox became wary and turned in his chair. He squinted, trying to discern something, but there was nothing else. Just as he was about to turn around, a portal suddenly opened instead of a spark. It was the color of a prism's energy. And a figure suddenly flew out. Almost immediately, the portal closed, and the figure collapsed on all fours, disoriented. Nine stood in complete shock, staring at the figure. He suddenly raised his tails into a fan, adopting a fighting stance, ready for any eventuality. He hissed coldly:

• Who are you?

| Nine (Alter Tails) Age - 15. Appearance: A yellow fox with seven metallic and two normal tails (for a total of nine), dull and slightly unkempt fur, blue eyes, and a fringe of three fluffy strands of fur that rises upward. There are fluffy tufts on the ears. Height: 83 cm. Personality: distrustful, withdrawn, intelligent, with a difficult past. Unlike the original Tails, he was always lonely and vulnerable until he learned to stand up for himself. Clothing: a dark gray short-sleeved vest-jacket. Dark, loose, knee-length shorts that don't restrict movement. A belt with which he can activate his tails. He wears a white glove on his right hand and a dark gray glove on his left, both with thick, dark gray cuffs at the wrists. Massive armored gray boots. The sole and toe are lighter. Fact is an inventor who uses robotic tails as weapons, tools, or for quick movement (he literally walks on them like a spider, his feet never touching the ground), and even climbs walls. He's well-versed in technology. Fighting style - uses tails as an ideal weapon in combat, which are difficult to dodge.
