| 12 | The author is a retired [=YouTuber=] artist [=MercyBhk=] (A.K.A. [=AmyRoseDiamonds=]). It was published on December 31, 2018, and got its [[UpdatedReRelease Official Dubbed version]] on June 27, 2019. It's a {{Tragedy}}/{{Drama}} with some shades of [[ActionGenre Action]]-{{Adventure}} and it's published as a [=YouTube=] video comprised of fan comic drawings that she posted on Website/DeviantArt. A sequel focused on [=SonAmy=] was released, and a two-part {{Interquel}} was in development, with the first part being uploaded in August 3th 2021. However, Mercy took down her accounts and [[ReluctantRetiree retired]] shortly afterwards for [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLsYC45WYAAoLGN?format=jpg&name=large unknown reasons,]] in [[https://twitter.com/pao_tsukino/status/1483605576923770882 January 2022.]] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | However, the {{Interquel}}'s first part as well as the [=SonAmy=] continuations and the official dubbed version have managed to survive the shutdown. You can watch the original dubbed version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHA65SEFNXQ here]], Part 1 of the {{Interquel}} [[https://youtu.be/qH7Kw3zGupQ here]], the [=SonAmy=] continuation [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bk3NEMlqzoqjL0ZQbaPwKsv-RQ1H5bUx/view?usp=sharing here.]][[note]]This one is ScrewedByTheLawyers, so a link to google drive has been provided instead.[[/note]] and the latter [[https://youtu.be/T2Hn-Jie0Cc?si=3rt8UpASWqKRXKFD Time Of The Month]] Son Amy short. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Do not be confused with the [[TheProtagonist Tails]] being Nine from ''WesternAnimation/SonicPrime'' as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything they both are similar, yet different on a new level.]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | But an unrelated fan-made SpiritualSuccessor "[[SimilarlyNamedWorks Who do you want to be?]]" comic. That features [[TheProtagonist Nine]] facing off against alternative versions of himself, [[VillainProtagonist Miles]] appears there too as a character, and also the one who is on the cover of the comic, towering over behind him. That can be watched [[https://youtu.be/H7HpdJbHdj4?si=HjbEz-DOa8eZX00p here.]] |

| 29 | !! "Where Was My Hero...?" and its {{Interquel}}s that contain examples of: |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * AdaptationDeviation: |
| 32 | ** Some moments in the original version are omitted in the official dub. Here are a few examples. |
| 33 | *** GratuitousJapanese moment, where instead of [[spoiler:Amy]] saying "Good luck Sonic-Kun", she omits the last word, being just "Good luck Sonic." |
| 34 | *** When [[spoiler:Bullies]] kill [[spoiler:Miles' bird.]] They skip over some words, like "It was just a bird." that originally set off [[spoiler:Miles]] to kill them, now is completely skipped over by the words of "Stop crying" and "Shut up." |
| 35 | *** OneSceneTwoMonologues: During [[spoiler:Miles']] struggles in his village, it shows how both him [[spoiler:Young and Villain]] Miles, talking. [[spoiler:Young Miles]] begs them to not destroy his inventions, while [[spoiler:Villain Miles]] reveals that they do this to him everyday, and he is sick of it. |
| 36 | *** During the GoodTimesMontage with the bird, both [[spoiler:Young Miles and Villain Miles]] talk at the same time, that they admitted having had fun with it, until one day, it happened. |
| 37 | *** Some words with typos are instead said correctly by the characters. |
| 38 | *** Sonic, instead of waiting for [[spoiler:Miles]] to finish his monologue in the comic, he interupts him mid-way, seemingly pissed because of the way he was thinking of himself as a some sort of [[AntiHero hero.]] |
| 39 | ** Two moments gets added up to the {{Interquel}}. |
| 40 | *** After [[spoiler:Miles]] goes to burn down his HatedHometown, it shows a ''2 Hours Later'' time card, that skips over the ArcWords, to the last thing he said before the TimeSkip happened. |
| 41 | *** Instead of [[spoiler:Miles]] meeting Sonic two days later after the accident, he instead walks on foot for two days, until he finds shelter from the heavy rain where he meets Cream and spends the rest of his days there with her. |
| 42 | * AdaptationalExpansion: The {{Interquel}} released after the original comic shows what happened between [[spoiler:the burning of [[HatedHometown Miles' village]] ]] and [[spoiler:his final showdown with Sonic]], which was only alluded to in a few paragraphs in the original. |
| 43 | * AdultsAreUseless: More like, [[HatedHometown The Village's]] people were useless, they didn't do anything when [[spoiler:Miles]] was taking quite a beating from his bullies. |
| 44 | * AirVentPassageway: When [[spoiler:Miles]] climbs on top of the robot, he notices an air duct that he opens and enters into the inside of a robot. From there, he notices the easily placed ''Off'' and ''On'' switches that he can trigger in order to halt the big robot's movement, lampshadingly calling it a ZeroEffortBoss. |
| 45 | * AlternateUniverse: Early in the video, a narrator, who is also the creator of the comic, presents the events of this story as part of the Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} series' Multiverse Theory cosmology. |
| 46 | ** CreatorCameo: Mercy the Goat ([=MercyBhk=]'s AuthorAvatar) appears as the narrator of this story. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Oddly, she appears only two times in the entire series]], (the Original and [=SonAmy's=] Interquel) as she is never even seen or mentioned again afterwards in the WWMH's Prequel. |
| 47 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:What happens with Miles, after two {{Time Skip}}s, is never explained, except in one part of an {{Interquel}}, along with the end of Miles' fight with Sonic. As Miles' robots are shut down, maybe the buses would have been called back to rebuild the once fallen city, but Sonic's HeroicBSOD moment would be hard to explain to others...]] |
| 48 | * {{Angst}}: There is so much of it in the Original, that the unprepared viewer would definitely not leave without crying [[TearJerker buckets of tears.]] |
| 49 | * ArcWords: Mirroring sentences are used to characterize the hero and villain of this story; "I never thought that something so wrong/right could feel so right/wrong." The first time it's spoken by [[spoiler:Miles as he burns down his HatedHometown]], the second time it's spoken by [[spoiler:Sonic as he mourns Miles's death.]] |
| 50 | * ArtShift: The artwork in the {{Interquel}} is a bit more detailed and smoother than the artwork in the original story. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/original_and_prequel.png Comparison]] between Original and {{Interquel}}. |
| 51 | * AttackOnOneIsAnAttackOnAll: During [[spoiler:Cream's]] speech about "The Freedom Fighters", she mentions that when the world is in big danger, everyone from ''all around the world.'' Comes together to stop the main threat. |
| 52 | * AttackOnTheHeart: [[spoiler:Sonic strikes at Miles' chest around his heart area by using Miles' own tendrils. Miles then dies as a result.]] |
| 53 | ** ArtisticLicenceAnatomy: Sometimes striking at the heart area leads to an instant death, but there are cases where the body can last for at least 3 minutes without the heart pumping the blood. [[spoiler:Miles doesn't die instantly, and can still communicate with Sonic and can even extend his hand up, but he only has strength to move his head around, and when his time is about to run out, he weakfully manages to say his last words to Sonic, before dying.]] |
| 54 | * AttackTheTail: [[spoiler:Sonic]] grabs [[spoiler:Miles]] by his tails, to then quickly run up to get some momentum behind his throw, and launches him with his tails into a wall. |
| 55 | * BadassCreed: [[spoiler:Miles]] makes one in the {{Interquel}}: After [[spoiler:killing his bullies]] and [[spoiler:burning down his [[HatedHometown Village.]] ]] In it, he swears to remove all evil ''trash'' from nature, and let those who adore him live, as they will love him for turning the world into heaven. |
| 56 | ** [[spoiler: He later tries to follow it, with the [[MurderIsTheOnlySolution same thing in mind,]] against another evil guy Egg-Man, but then [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome the reality comes crashing down on Tails,]] as he [[ObliviouslyEvil doesn't understand that]] it [[EvilCannotComprehendGood doesn't really work the same way with the bullies he murdered.]] As Sonic [[WhatTheHellHero lashes out on him.]] And puts him away into a prison. ]] |
| 57 | -->[[spoiler:'''Miles]]:''' I'm just a Traveler who punishes bad people |
| 58 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Miles' threat of destructing the city on timer. Works as expected, as Miles wants to see Sonic, who arrives there to stop him.]] |
| 59 | * BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles claims that he will punish all of the bad people all over the world in his BadassCreed . However, in the original story, he becomes the very villain that he was originally opposed to.]] |
| 60 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: [[spoiler:TheWordOfGod says that Miles is destined to meet Sonic either way, no matter how much is being delayed.]] |
| 61 | * BerserkButton: |
| 62 | ** [[spoiler:Miles' bullies unintentionally kill his [[LivingEmotionalCrutch bird pet]], then they try to make Miles get over it, as "It was just a bird" to them. This sends Miles into an UnstoppableRage as he proceeds to kill them both with their Metal Pipe]] |
| 63 | --->[[spoiler:'''Miles''']]: This was the first time...I acted out of my feelings... |
| 64 | ** [[spoiler:Try to say that you feel like some sort of [[AntiHero hero]], while actively [[KillOnSight slaughtering everyone on sight along with them being children]], towards Sonic? You will get one hell of a ShutUpHannibal moment from him.]] |
| 65 | ** [[spoiler:When Sonic says to Knuckles that he wants to face Miles alone, Knuckles will explode in anger, as he says that is SuicideMission, and will jokingly threaten him that if he does go, he will kill him himself rather than let Miles do it.]] |
| 66 | ** [[spoiler:Try to say bad things about Egg-Man's machines behind his back? He will get mad.]] |
| 67 | --->[[spoiler:'''Eggman:''' Sonic! You dare!]] |
| 68 | * BetterIfNotBornPlot: Genius like [[spoiler:Miles,]] realizes that if it would be better to stop right now, before he completely destroyed everyone, so he thinks of a plan to end it once and for all. |
| 69 | * BeyondRedemption: After [[spoiler: Miles burns down [[HatedHometown his village]] and spent the rest of his life terrorizing and killing many people, Sonic tries to reason with him, but sees that Miles is beyond help. This leads to Sonic being forced to kill Miles in the final fight.]] |
| 70 | * {{Big Damn Hero|es}}: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Sonic manages to arrive JustInTime, to save every Villager that has fallen into the victim of Miles' arson, he however thinks otherwise, as he noticed the already two collapsed buildings...]] [[spoiler:Then in the reports, it's revealed that Miles Prower, and Tenebris brothers, were the only ones that went missing, so technically no one was killed in the fire.]] |
| 71 | * BigEntrance: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Egg-Man's big tall robot that arrives out of nowhere behind Miles' back, who almost crushes him "Like a bug." As he turns to it in horror of a such huge robotic beast in his sight.]] |
| 72 | -->[[spoiler:'''Miles''']]: Huge.... |
| 73 | * BigWhat: In the {{Interquel}}, when Miles is in airborne position with Cream carrying him when they first meet Sonic. Sonic says that he has to go and he then gets dropped off by Cream. As soon as he hits the ground, Sonic quickly blasts away with his super speed, which leaves Miles with WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises. Miles then yells out a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin big "WHAT!?"]] as Cream starts asking him about why he reacted that way. |
| 74 | * BleedEmAndWeep: |
| 75 | ** [[spoiler:Sonic, after killing Miles]] in the Original: |
| 76 | ** [[spoiler:Miles, after killing his bullies]] in the {{Interquel}}: MyGodWhatHaveIDone |
| 77 | * BloodFromTheMouth: |
| 78 | ** When [[spoiler:Sonic]] stabs [[spoiler:Miles with one of his tendrils, Miles' mouth starts leaking out blood and he ends up dying from the wound.]] |

| 80 | * BoomHeadshot: What is implied that [[spoiler:Miles]] have done with [[spoiler:Egg-Man.]] |
| 81 | -->[[spoiler:'''Sonic:''' Egg-Man?]] |
| 82 | * BornUnlucky: Miles, and his two mutated tails appearence, without friends or family, stumbling on the stone and breaking his nose, and suffering heavy bullying in his life. |
| 83 | * BrokenAce: Sonic, [[spoiler:Miles']] actions truly shook him to the core, that even he doubts himself of the ability that he can take him on and save the world. |
| 84 | * BrokenBird: [[spoiler:Miles becomes this after his own [[LivingEmotionalCrutch pet bird]] was killed by the bullies. When he meets up with Cream later on in the story, he doesn't talk to her for a while due to still being traumatized by the death of his [[LivingEmotionalCrutch bird]].]] |
| 85 | * BrokenHero: Miles, in the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Despite the previous deeds, when he sees Cream in that cave, he doesn't pull any bad tricks towards her, and still acts pretty nice, and her gift of providing him tools manages to win him over for her.]] |
| 86 | * BrokenSmile: [[spoiler:Miles]] displays this while he was still living in [[HatedHometown his village]]. |
| 87 | * BrokenTears: [[spoiler:Miles cries when the bullies smash his device along with his [[LivingEmotionalCrutch pet bird]]. Then it gets turned into BerserkerTears, as he retaliates back.]] |

| 91 | * BurnBabyBurn: Also counts as DestroyTheAbusiveHome when [[spoiler:Miles burns down [[HatedHometown the village]].]] |
| 92 | * BusFullOfInnocents: [[spoiler:Knuckles]] mentions about the amounts of buses they have, that they will use to escort everyone out of the city with. |
| 93 | * ButterflyOfDoom: What starts the DisasterDominoes is Tails tripping on a stone that happened to be there, causing him to miss seeing Sonic. When even a ''small stone'' is capable of making the world be FUBAR, you ''know'' the butterfly effect sucks. |
| 94 | * ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Miles]] is shown to be this, as the [[HatedHometown whole village]] teases him for having an mutation of both of his tails. [[spoiler:Until they get burned alight by what's coming...]] |
| 95 | * ByronicHero: Miles(?). (Although kinda far fetched...) |
| 96 | * CameBackWithAVengeance: [[spoiler:Miles]] doesn't just comes back with a vengence. He comes back with a freaking army. |
| 97 | * CantCatchUp: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles' placement during Egg-Man's assault, feels so out place, as even Cream thinks of him as a [[TheLoad burden]] and that it was a bad idea to bring him along. He does prove helpful in disabling Egg-Man's robot.]] |
| 98 | * CardboardPrison: Sonic says this about Egg-Man, and how he can't be held up in prison for a longer period of time. [[spoiler:Miles later on escapes from it as well.]] |

| 100 | * CardCarryingVillain: [[spoiler:Miles']] signature of his two big fox ears, placed or built into an device made by him, especially his flying {{Mecha}} transport, and his factory building. |
| 101 | * CarryABigStick: Not to be confused with a literal wooden stick that some may have overseen. [[spoiler:Miles']] first weapon, was a ''burrowed'' Metal Pipe that Bullies used to destroy his inventions for so long. [[spoiler:Now is use has developed into a Murder Self-Defense one.]] But while [[spoiler:Miles]] escapes from the fire he set up, he leaves it behind. |
| 102 | * CaughtInTheRain: Both [[spoiler:Miles]] and [[spoiler:Cream]] end up being caught in the rain, that force both of them to take shelter in the cave. [[spoiler:Cream]] doesn't notice [[spoiler:Miles]] at first, and gets scared at first, but realizes that what she saw was just a boy. And tries to apologizes to Miles, who is still acting silent and doesn't respond to her. |
| 103 | * CaughtMonologuing: While [[spoiler:Miles]] expresses his boredom to [[spoiler:Sonic.]] He interrupts him mid-way by slamming his head against the floor. |
| 104 | -->[[spoiler:'''Miles''']]: I'm really... |

| 107 | * ChewingTheScenery: Miles [[spoiler:screams on top of his lungs when his pet bird gets killed by the GangOfBullies, he then fells into [[BrokenTears agonized crying state,]] but GangOfBullies don't seem shocked in slightest, only complaining how it got them all splashed with it's blood. Then as they try to gaslight Miles into thinking that "It was just a stupid bird.", he quickly snaps out of his crying state, grabs their dropped weapon, and beats them both to death while shouting disaprovely at their comment.]] |
| 108 | * CivilizationDestroyer: [[spoiler:If Miles can bring down the whole City to his knees, then what stops him from destroying the whole planet?]] |
| 109 | * CombatTentacles: [[spoiler:Miles' weapon of choice when he's fighting Sonic in the final fight. The tentacles come out of his back and he uses the tentacles to move around and stab things with. His tentacles are also strong enough to lift Sonic off the ground and through him around with such force, that they can through said target through stone columns.]] |
| 110 | * ConfusedQuestionMark: Used whenever any of the characters are confused by a situation. |
| 111 | * CorneredRattlesnake: Although [[spoiler:Miles]] seem to look [[ExtremeDoorMat psychologically and physically weak]] compared to his [[spoiler:bullies,]] he catches them off-guard when he proceeds to charge at them to [[spoiler:beat them both with their dropped metal pipe,]] he declares to them, that the [[spoiler:Bird]] they have [[spoiler:slaughtered]] was his only family to him, which makes them both scream in horror and surprise, that would only mean their end in either death or injury. [[spoiler:You know what they say. [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid A cornered fox… is more dangerous.. than a jackal...]]]] |
| 112 | %%* CornerOfWoe: [[spoiler:Cream]] meets [[spoiler:Miles]] in this state. |
| 113 | * CorruptedCharacterCopy: [[spoiler:Miles]] is a whole different character than Tails, being his dark grumpy side that drives him forward. Unlike Tails, he has faded red shoes, and [[HellBentForLeather leather gloves]]. |
| 114 | * CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Sonic comes to this conclusion way too late, after he is [[spoiler:through with Miles,]] realizing that if he would have been there earlier for him, all of this would have not happen in the first place. |
| 115 | * CrapsackWorld: The entirety of this version of the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' universe is terrible for all of the characters involved. First, [[spoiler: Miles]] was relentlessly bullied in [[HatedHometown his village]] and no one would help him out of that situation. And then after [[spoiler: Miles becomes a villain]], the whole world is in disarray as many innocent people are killed off. |
| 116 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: [[spoiler:Sonic sends Miles away into a prison after he killed Egg-Man, it didn't reform Miles, on the other hand he got hardened with hatred to the planet.]] |

| 118 | * CriticalHesitationBlunder: [[spoiler: When Miles and Sonic fight against each other, there was a moment where Miles nearly stabs Sonic with his tendrils, but he suddenly stops with his attack. This gives Sonic time to grab Miles' tendril and stab him in the chest.]] |
| 119 | * CunningLikeAFox: |
| 120 | -->[[spoiler:''*Cough* I'm Tails, Tails The Fox. The one and only mutated genius fox that you can find on Mobius.'']] |
| 121 | * CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Sonic]] tries his best to attack [[spoiler:Miles,]] but his attacks never seem to connect with him at least once, as [[spoiler:Miles]] proceeds to toy with him by ramming him through the columns, as he gives him many chances to get up and tells him to [[CaughtMonologuing continue fighting with him, as he is getting bored with this]]. But as he says it, he gets distracted and gets his head slammed against the floor by [[spoiler:Sonic.]] And he finally lands a hit, that he proceeds to launch him against the wall afterwards. It makes a big hole behind it, that [[spoiler:Miles]] emerges out of, where both start to stare at each other, they then both launch themselves towards one another in the air, as [[spoiler:Miles]] sees that [[spoiler:Sonic]] grabs his tendril, he volunterily stops his tendril from piercing him from behind, and thus letting [[spoiler:Sonic]] grabbing him by his throat, and [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling him with extreme prejudice]] with his own tendril. |
| 122 | * CutHimselfShaving: No one out of the cast, raises questions about Miles' shaved tails, implied to mostly chalking it up to him being accidental. [[spoiler:In reality it was SelfHarm.]] |
| 123 | * CutShort: The {{Interquel}} was supposed to feature a final second part, that would show how [[spoiler:Sonic lost his right eye, how Miles loses his friends, how Miles killed Egg-Man, and a new villain that would have been reborn after Miles' death.]] But, the series was abruptly canceled, and those questions are left unresolved. |
| 124 | * CynicismCatalyst: The true catalyst of [[spoiler:Miles' evil arc,]] of a character, was because of [[spoiler:Sonic that put him away into a prison, if only he could have found the right words to say to him, rather than saying that he is "Nothing."]] |
| 125 | * DarkerAndEdgier: Oh, so much... Although considering that this story is an AlternateUniverse where [[spoiler: Miles]] becomes the villain due to not meeting Sonic much earlier in this universe. |
| 126 | * DeadHandShot: [[spoiler:Egg-Man's death shows only his bloody hand on the screen.]] |
| 127 | * DeathByOriginStory: [[spoiler:Miles's [[LivingEmotionalCrutch bird pet's]] death, was the reason that made him [[DespairEventHorizon cross the line.]] ]] |
| 128 | * DeathGlare: Intentional or not, Miles seem to have this intimidation energy, even in his {{Interquel}}, as he spooks Cream with that stare. |
| 129 | * DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler:Miles']] death is Played For Drama. |
| 130 | * DeathIsTheOnlyOption: What [[spoiler:Miles]] does at the end, to presumebly [[spoiler:stop himself from ruining the planet further and [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled avoiding the possibile imprisonment,]] ]] in a form of [[spoiler:SuicideByCop]] |
| 131 | * DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Ultimately, Miles decides to spare the city, (but while the countdown is still going, the robots are still operational and are killing people in the background) and he bluffs that when the countdown reaches zero, the city will be destroyed. This was made so that Sonic could be summoned to take him out and [[MercyKill put him out of his misery.]] The reason why he came to this conclusion is not mentioned, perhaps he got tired of being VillainProtagonist, or maybe his BlackBugRoom thoughts have finally caught to him, that made him TheInsomniac, along with the visions of [[YourWorstMemory previous traumatic experiences that come to haunt him at night.]] ]] |
| 132 | * DeathsHourglass: What [[spoiler:Miles]] claims to be the actual purpose of his countdown, it doesn't [[spoiler:countdown the destruction of the city, it counts down his death.]] |
| 133 | * DeathWail: [[spoiler:Miles]] screams one out when his [[spoiler:LivingEmotionalCrutch bird]] gets [[spoiler:smashed to death along with his invention, by a GangOfBullies.]] |
| 134 | -->[[spoiler:'''Miles''': '''AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH''']] |
| 135 | * DeceasedFallGuyGambit: [[spoiler:Leo Tenebris. The bully that Miles killed along side his brother Bates, was thought to be the one who set [[HatedHometown the village]] on fire in the {{Interquel}}, maybe Miles made it that way so that the fire first started in the Tenebris' house, To throw the suspicion that it was him.]] |
| 136 | * {{Deconstruction}}: Happens to [[spoiler:Miles's]] ways of PayEvilUntoEvil methods, where [[spoiler:Sonic]] chastises him for it, so far that he sends him to prison for his actions. |
| 137 | * DeducingTheSecretIdentity: Implied, to what would have happened to [[spoiler:Miles,]] as once everyone finds out his true name, they don't call him [[spoiler:"Tails"]] anymore. |
| 138 | * DeepBreathRevealsTension: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Sonic]] performs two deep breaths throughout, before he gets stuff settled. |
| 139 | * DefrostingIceKing: [[spoiler:Cream]] does successfully with [[spoiler:Miles, as he doesn't respond to her.]] Acting polite enough with him in his company, made him go out in the rain to pick up some resources for an makeshift umbrella for her, then as she gives him her knife, and gets an umbrella in return, she leaves the cave and hopes to meet with him again. She returns back and brings more supplies to him, still hiding who he is, he at first tries to deny this aid, but seeing that she have also brought a toolbox with her, he reconsiders it, and reveals that his name is "''[[spoiler:Tails.]]''" Then after she tells him where she is from and the group of Freedom Fighters, "''[[spoiler:Tails]]''" suggests her to help him with the shelter since she came here to help, she accepts the offer, and they get treated to GoodTimesMontage paired with ATeamMontage of them building the shelter, as he is no longer acting that cold when he meet her anymore. |
| 140 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome: The comics hardly feature if any colour. Blood seem to be an exception to that. |
| 141 | ** Sometimes is just shows the white outlines. |
| 142 | * DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:Miles]] in the Son Amy {{Interquel}}s, appears once as TheCameo, who will hold an [[ItWasAGift Rabbit Cup]] in his hand. Then will sound annoyed while looking through the monitored camera in his robot that gets destroyed by Sonic. With Shadow using Sonic as a Living Projectile, that threw him really hard at it. |
| 143 | -->[[spoiler:'''Miles:''']] They are joking around, I guess...[[SurroundedByIdiots Idiots]]... |
| 144 | * DesolationShot: In the {{Interquel}}: When Miles is hanging on a ladder, he looks into the abandoned buildings of the city, as Sun starts shining in his eyes, he starts to climb it up more. |
| 145 | * DespairEventHorizon : [[spoiler:Miles]] crosses it at the same time with RageBreakingPoint when his [[LivingEmotionalCrutch pet bird]] dies, this is by the way the [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds culmination of years of loneliness and emotional abuse]]. |
| 146 | * DesperatelyCravesAffection: [[spoiler:After burning down [[HatedHometown his village]] in the {{Interquel}}, he thinks that in his PayEvilUntoEvil BadassCreed, people will love him for removing bad people from the world. The original comes down as this after Sonic responds with Miles's talk about how it would have been, with him becoming part of [[TrueCompanions his family rather than a sidekick]], that completely makes Miles break down crying.]] |

To which she smiles and apologizes that it's her habit of interrupting people. |
| 206 | *** She does another one yet again, this time in the HowIsThatEvenPossible moment, when Miles discusses on "[[HowIsThatEvenPossible How is this possibile?]]" Either on how Sonic is able to have super speed, or the scale of Egg-Man's assault that he puts into question, but Cream then [[UnscientificScience adds another sentence]] "[[ExactlyWhatIAimedAt On how I am able to fly with my two ears while carrying two Mobians?]]" To which Miles agrees that is a good comparison. |
