Encounter
'Soft, soft bed. HHmmmm…,' dreamed Tails as he rolled over and cuddled closer to the plain white, fluffy pillow. Cuddled into the luxurious bedding, which every cell had for reasons, Tails was abruptly shocked out of his sleep when his arm brushed up against the cold metal that the bed was composed of. Yanking himself away from the metal, Tails yelped in pain as he jostled his broken bones and banged his bruises against the wall. Tails glanced around the dimly lit, plain looking cell, which contained only the necessities one would need. The only thing that was odd about the cell was the blanket and pillow being something that you would find in a fancy hotel, and not in a prison.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Tails was yanked out of his musing as someone slammed their fist against the solid steel door. The tiny window in the door slide open and a black face filled the gapping hole. Tails, who had laboriously and somewhat clumsily stood up and took a few steps toward the door to inspect the noise, stumbled backwards as the figure came into view. The brighter light from outside of Tail's cell casted a Shadow over the figure's face, which only allowed tails to see black spikes that were angled upward with stripes of blood red.
"Your food," said the figure in a gruff voice and then dropped a tray filled with questionable looking substances though the slot. Tails, being a curious fellow, could not help himself and ask the 'Devil', as Tails dubbed the figure, "Who and what are you? Did Eggman make you?" The 'Devil' chuckled and turned away from Tail's cell and stated, "Your worst nightmare, and yes, you could say Ivo made me in a way." The 'Devil' then shut the steel panel close on Tail's jail cell door, cutting Tails off from the outside world. As Tail's eyes rested upon the tray of food, all thoughts of the odd encounter where pushed to the back of his mind. Tails groaned in pain as he bent down to pick up the tray; mumbling, "It's probably not poisoned, I hope."
In one of the flying fortress's many workshops, Robotnik was hunched over an extremely advanced work table scribbling evil genius stuff down on an equally advanced looking blueprint. Chuckling, Robotnik said to himself, "This will bend sonic to my will! I just can't wait!" Robotnik took a sip from his custom mug, which was inscribed with, "Caffeine'O'Matic 3000". Just as Robotnik was about to set his mug down, he was startled by the workshop's door as it was slammed open with a loud crash.
"Shit," cursed Robotnik as he spilled his scorching hot coffee all over himself and his fancy blueprint.
"I have given the fox his food. Now unless you got some other manual task you want me to take care of that the robots are perfectly fine at doing themselves, I will be going," snapped an annoyed Shadow as he barged into the room.
"As I have said before time and time again, STOP barging into my workshop while I am working," yell Dr. Robotnik as snatched a rag off a shelf and franticly dabbed the coffee off his blueprint. After Dr. Robotnik cleaned the coffee off of his blueprint, he turned to Shadow and stated, "The reason why I won't you near that yellow freak of nature is because I want him shaking in his shoes when it's time to squeeze any information out of him regarding his friends. If I ever want to defeat that blasted hedgehog, I need to cover all my bases. No go and keep an eye on Sonic's little pet."
"Do you also want me to give him a tour of your ship while I am at it?" retorted an irritated black hedgehog.
"The sarcasm was not necessary Shadow. If you want, you can have a little fun with him, just don't kill him. He is, after all, leverage against Sonic, which I need to complete my plan."
"Fine!" growled Shadow as he slammed open the workshop's door, causing Dr. Robotnik to spill his coffee again just as he was about to take another drink.
"Damn you Shadow," came the pained yell of Dr. Robotnik as Shadow exited the workshop and strolled toward the Detention Hall 13.
Tails finished the last of his meal, which left much to be desired, and set the tray inside the cell door's window slot. Dragging himself back to his bed, Tails sat down and decided to give his surroundings a look. The first thing he noticed was that there was no toilet or sink, just a shower head with a 3 inch hole under it.
"Ugh, Sonic, please hurry up," grumbled Tails as he realized that the hole will have to do. After farther examining the room, Tails came to the conclusion that this was not going to be a very pleasant stay aboard Eggman's ship. Even the bed looked uncomfortable to sleep on, if you could even call it a bed. It was just a simple canvas like material with a metal frame around it, which was bolted to the wall. Tails sighed in desperation until he realized that against the far was a vent that looked just big enough for him to squeeze into, that is of course if he could get the vent cover off first.
Tails was startled out of his musing when he heard the turning his cell door's lock. The door swung open to reveal the 'Devil'. With nothing obstructing his as before, Tails whimper and took as step back as the 'Devil' was ALOT more intimidating in person. This creature was like nothing Tails had ever seen. It was like something out of a horror film. The air around the 'Devil' was filled with malice and the air faintly crackled with power, so so much power. Not knowing what to do, Tails took another step back and shivered as the room felt like it dropped twenties degrees. The 'Devil chuckled as he took pleasure in Tail's fear, which only made Tails even more frightened. Time seemed to slow down as the 'Devil' reached out a hand toward Tails and latched onto his arm. Tails screamed and struggled to free himself from the 'Devil's grip, but was silenced when he felt an incredibly painful slap to the face.
"You said you wanted to know what I am?" said the 'Devil' in a gruff voice and tugged Tails out of the cell with a whimper. Tails yelped as he landed on his broken leg. Just to spite Tails, the 'Devil' gave a kick to Tail's broken leg. Tails cried in pain as he was escorted out of Detention Center 13.
"Shit, I guess curiosity really did kill the cat," though Tails as he was shoved down the hallway and stuffed into a tiny cylindrical room. The 'Devil' stepped in with Tails and pressed a series of number and letters into a keypad before pressing one of the random buttons on the wall. Tails tried to memorize the code, but it was too long and was typed too fast. A moment later, the cylindrical room's door snapped shut mildly annoying hum filled the room. Without any warning, the room quickly ascended the many levels of the Grand Egg Imperial, which unfortunately put some unneeded strain on Tail's broken leg. Just as quickly as it started, it ended. The door opened to reveal the gloriously open blue sky. Tails gasped as he realized he was on top of Eggman's ship. Hope turned to disappointment as Tails noticed that his beloved X Tornado was nowhere to be found. Not even his own blood was anywhere to be found the deck of the ship. It was probably the cleanest surface Tails had ever seen in his life.
Without warning, the 'Devil' pulled Tails out of the elevator and walked toward the edge of the end of the deck. The Grand Egg Imperial was hovering about twenty feet off the ground. Tails eyed the ground and deduced he was about 250 feet off the ground.
"If I could slide down that wing and land on top of those trees, I probably could escape," contemplated Tails as he prepared to break the grip the 'Devil' had on his arm.
"Don't even think about it," snapped the 'Devil', "Even if you did survive the fall, you would be to injured to move, let alone escape from me. Beside, you asked me a question and I am willing to answer. See that hill over there, that big one?" Tails nodded as he looked at the hill the 'Devil' was pointing at. The 'Devil' splayed his fingers toward the hill and shouted, "Chaos Lance!" The air faint crackle in the air become more noticeable as yellow energy pool into the 'Devil's hand. It was nothing like Tails had ever seen, it made the fur on the back of his neck stand on end. The pool of yellow light shoot from the 'Devil's hand and streaked toward the hill at speeds even Sonic could not outrun. The bar of yellow light struck the hill, causing it to explode in a blinding flash of light, shortly followed by a loud deafening explosion. The only thing left of the hill was an impressively large creator.
Tails shivered, "How could Sonic ever compete with that?!" Tails hope for rescue diminished rapidly as the 'Devil laid waste to the Forest below. Tails whimpered in horror as the 'Devil' whispered in his ear, "I am pure, unadulterated destruction."
I apologize for the long absence. I had went off to collage so I had completely forgot about this story.
Food for though: Dr. Ivo Robotniks IQ is 300
Now this is what a person with 300 IQ can do: William James Sidis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If a human had an IQ of over 300, of what would they be capable? - Quora
I updated the Grammar and changed a few things, pretty minor stuff so no need to reread. I changed the author's note though.
Who even reads these author's notes?
Anyways, thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.
