Sonic watched the bowling ball fired out of Tail's trap into the sky and as he watched it, it started falling down toward the frozen lake. Sonic spotted a big red capital X marked on the frozen lake where the bowling ball is gonna crash into.
In shock and realization, he dropped his jaw as he lifted his blue arms up in the air and turn his top half body right back to it's normal fountal position just to see Tails wearing a triumphed smirk on his furry face and still sitting on the beach chair. then Sonic hang his head as he flopped his blue arms down in fount of him in defeat.
"Betrayed by a chili dog." Sonic stated in defeat.
The bowling ball crash into the frozen lake where the big capital x marked and cracks started forming out of it. However, Sonic took second thoughts and lifted his head back up raising his right eyebrow up, making Tails wipe the smirk off his face and given Sonic a startled look.
"Unless..." Sonic stated, stopping as if he had nothing to finish a sentence.
Sonic turned the upper half of his body left and looked at the two of the cracks coming to him for two seconds. Then he let the upper half of his body move back to it's normal fountal position and cautiously slid his feet forward on the ice away from the cracks, careful to keep his sneakers level on the frozen lake and keeping his body balance as the cracks drew near Sonic.
The two cracks finally joined together and broke off a huge chuck of ice from the frozen lake. But Sonic managed to slid his feet on the other side of the crack of ice that came closer to him just before the cracks joined and the chunk of ice tilted in the water and tipped sideways into it, making splashing sounds in the lake water as it does so as Tails watched in disbelief that Sonic brushed off defeat and thought quickly on how to get out of it.
The sound of the splashing noise got Sonic's attention. He stopped on the remaining frozen ice, turned left and witnessed the chunk of ice dipping into the lake water and the chunk of ice started sinking into it. Victorious, Sonic smirked triumphantly and averted his eyes at Tails as he turned his head left and looked at Sonic in defeat. Sonic crossed his blue arms in fount of his chest and lowered down his eyebrows down at Tails as he grinned a cocky grin to him.
"Well Tails, I hope that you're a good singer." Sonic taunted Tails statistically.
"But Sonic, How?" Tails asked Sonic.
"I used your fear of water from not bring able to swim for this trap. I could've captured you. I was so close." Tails whined at Sonic.
"Well Tails, whenever I felt I seem in defeat, I take up second thoughts, check out a thing or two, think fast of how to work it to my advantage and do it fast. It helps me to win whenever countering bad guys and evil robots." Sonic explained to Tails simply.
"OH COME ON!" A familiar voice yelled out.
Startled by the sound of the familiar voice Sonic and Tails both drew their attentions to where they heard it with widened eyes and slightly opened mouths, only to see Eggman, Orbot, Cubot on his eggmobile and three buzzbombers on each side lower down in fount of two palm trees.
"I don't believe this Tails. You could've gotten Sonic. Well so much for tricking you into doing this." Eggman whined at Tails, accidentally revealing to him and Sonic that he tricked him into capturing Sonic.
Sonic and Tails both pulled down their eyebrows as they shut their mouths and frowned at Eggman.
"WHAT? YOU TRICKED TAILS INTO BETTING WITH ME INTO CAPTURING ME SO THAT HE'LL DO YOUR DIRTY WORK?" Sonic asked Eggman yelling as he uncrossed his blue arms and pointed an accusing finger with an index finger from his right hand.
Eggman shrugged.
"Yeah well, it doesn't matter now. Now that you two are on ice, it should be no problem for me to deal with the both of you." Eggman stated to Sonic and Tails.
"That's what you think egghead." Sonic trotted at Eggman insultingly.
Sonic let his arm flop down on it's side and drew his attention back on Tails
"Tails." Sonic spoke out to Tails.
Tails turned his head left and averted his eyes to Sonic.
"You know what to do." Sonic stated to Tails."
Tails nodded a yes to Sonic. He spun his two tails like a propeller and lifted up in the air, flew toward Sonic as Sonic lifted his hands in air, Tails turned himself left, reached down to Sonic as he lowed down to him, grabbed him, lifted back up into the air with Sonic holding on and flew toward the spring on the bowling ball launcher. But Eggman's however not letting them beat him that easy.
"ROBOTS, ATTACK!" Eggman screamed out at his buzzbomers.
The buzzbomers obliged at started shooting at Sonic and Tails and Eggman started shooting at the two heroes from his eggmobile. but they barely missed cause Tails saw the buzzbomers and the eggmobile's shots and dodged them. And Sonic lifted up his legs cause some of the shots were going at them as he looked down and noticed they're closer to the boulder launcher's spring.
"Okay Tails, that's close enough." Sonic told Tails.
Tails let go of Sonic and he leaned his body forward slightly to use his wright to fall to the traps spring. Tails hovered out of the way as Sonic landed on the spring with his feet and the spring bounced Sonic forward back in the air towards Eggman. he spun into a ball and homie attacked the eggmobile before smashing up the six buzzbomers, making the eggmobile move backward with Eggman, orbot and Cubot still on it.
"CURSE YOU SONIC! YOU JUST WAIT TILL NEXT TIME! AT LEAST I'LL WIN NEXT TIME!" Eggman screamed out at Sonic as he, Orbot and Cubot on the eggmobile move backward into the horizion and disappear into the afternoon sky.
Just then, Sonic landed on the frozen lake and nearly lost his balance due to his sneakers slipping on the ice, but he managed to prevent himself from falling on it and kept himself steady in a standing position, but not without lightly wooing in reaction of the slipping and swaying his blue arms lightly as Tails hovered back down on the frozen lake and landed in fount of Sonic and stopped his tails spinning. They both smirked at each other.
"Hey Tails, I'm sorry for mocking you for failing to capture me and I guess I was bring over competitive, but you know, you didn't have to try to capture me Tails, cause you already had proven to be a genies in better ways with the UT, the hover broads, enerbeams, remote controlled plant chopper, universe porter, Sonic booster and so on." Sonic apologized to Tails and reminding him of his wonderful inventions that even Eggman couldn't invent.
Tails smiled at Sonic and did three nods to him in a yes.
"Yeah, your right Sonic and I'm sorry for letting Eggman trick me into thinking that I have to prove that I'm a genies by capturing my best bud." Tails responded to Sonic just as apolitically.
"So, no hard feelings?" Sonic asked Tails as he brought out his right hand for Tails.
"No hard feelings." Tails answered Sonic as he drew out his right hand out and clumped it onto Sonic's.
They shook hands, let go of each other's hands and brought them back to their right sides.
"Cool." Sonic commented to Tails.
"Now let's go rescue our friends from your traps." Sonic told Tails.
And they went off to rescue their friends from Tail's traps. Starting with Knuckles back in the village, Sonic and Tails both busted Knuckles out of the trap Tails used for his third attempt to capture Sonic. Knuckle's eyes met with Sonic's and Tail's.
"Hey Knuckles, you're okay?" Sonic greeted Knuckles questionably.
"Yeah, I'm good." Knuckles replied to Sonic.
Sonic and Tails both nodded in response.
"Great, now let's go get Amy and Sticks." Sonic told Tails and Knuckles.
They went to the rocky desert to find the rocks still rolled together with Amy trapped beneath them. Knuckles punched them away one by oe, making Amy a free hedgehog. only for her to storm toward Sonic and Tails with an angry look.
"Look Amy, I'm sorry about trapping you when I'm meant to get Sonic, but really we got to find Sticks and bust her out of one of my bear traps." Tails pronounced to Amy.
"Fine, I'll be scorning you for leaving me trapped up beneath those rocks." Amy informed Tails.
"Kill two birds with one stone." Amy proverbs to Tails as he pointed her mullet at him.
"Whatever, let's go get Sticks." Sonic stated to Tails, Knuckles and Amy.
Tails, knowing where Sticks is started leading the team to where Sticks is caught in one of the bear traps, but they suddenly stopped in their tracks from Sticks coming up to them from the opposite direction with the bear trap still caught on her right ear. Sticks stopped in fount of the rest of the team.
"What took you so long?" Sticks asked the rest of team Sonic.
"Oh, you're got out of it yourself." Tails pronounced in figuration.
Sticks takes the bear trap off her right ear and chucked it aside as Tails sighed and looked at at Sonic on on his right.
"Anyway, sorry again for letting Eggman trick me into doing his dirty work again Sonic." Tails apologised to Sonic again.
"That's okay buddy." Sonic forgave Tails.
Amy cleared up her thought loudly to draw Sonic and Tail's attention to her, Knuckles and Sticks, which of course worked.
"Ain't you forgetting that you've captured us, and what do you mean Eggman tricked you?" Amy asked Tails.
"Well, after Sonic evaded my final trap, Eggman and his robots showed up in fount of two palm trees and revealed that he tricked me into betting with Sonic." Tails explained to the rest of the team.
"Yeah, but don't worry guys. Tails and I took care of them together." Sonic continued.
"And I remember where you guys are, so after dealing with Eggman and the buzz bombers, Sonic helped me get Knuckles out and he took care of busting Amy out before we went for Sticks." Tails finished.
"You know Tails, you didn't really have to memorise where we are, we have communicators." Amy pointed out as she showed off her communicator in her identity colour on her left wrist.
Can we just put this behind us?" Tails asked the rest of the team chugging with his gloved hands.
Sonic then turned his attention back on Tails.
"Of course we can. Sonic answered Tails, having him sway his head right and look back at Sonic.
Sonic then suddenly remembered the deal him and Tails made on what the loser of the bet has to do
"Oh, there's just one more thing." Sonic told Tails.
Later that night, Tails is singing rather poorly on Meh burger karaoke in fount of the rest of team Sonic as an audience.
"So Sonic, how did you evade that trap at the frozen lake?" Amy asked Sonic in gossip.
"I snapped out of the feeling of bring defeated, checked out the two cracks, thought fast on how to get out of it and than just went along with it. I'm no genius Amy, but I'm pretty clever." Sonic answered Amy in gossip.
"Then you must be smarter than you look Sonic." Amy commented to Sonic in gossip before they both put their attention back on Tails performing at kareoke.
