Fire and Ice 2: Redemption
Chapter 2: Old Acquaintances
"Done!" Tails smacked the side of the blue plane with his wrench, it's ultra-dense titanium alloy armour hummed for a few seconds. He grinned. The nose-cone was yellow, and faded to the blue body. The wings featured yellow stripes, contrasting the blueness. Tails climbed up, slamming a few buttons.
The whole garage shuddered in fear, as the back of the plane glowed with a yellow beacon. The plane lurched, pushing Tails back into the seat. It cut through the road like butter, it was in car mode, but was almost on par with Sonic.
Tails slowly adjusted to the speed. He realised that the only place he would safely test this was the motorway... Or at least a slightly safer way... He turned sharply, and arrived quite quickly. He found his reflexes to be quite fast...
He mode it without much hassle, and was soon gliding through the crowd of cars. He thought how ordinary all these cars were... What a shock they'd get when they saw this piece of machinery. Just then something unusual caught his eye... A very strange car... Looking closer, he could see that it was barley a car! Was that... Firestorm?!
Firestorm looked out of the window of his new vehicle. It was wide, and took up two lanes. It was teardrop shaped from the top. It was dazzlingly shiny, and was painted with liquid chrome, after Firestorm insisted. Kelvin stood by him, Looking out. Firestorm was driving, So he could relax. He liked this new feature; On the bottom of the vehicle was a large metallic cuboid, with four long 'Limbs' sticking out. At the end of each of these was a wheel with a tyre. The body was somehow clipped onto the vehicle. At the back, a massive booster, aided by 4 smaller boosters to aid the effort, proppeled it along at breakneck speeds.
Suddenly the sound of tearing paper ripped across the room. Firestorm soon realised it to be static, someone was contacting them by radio. Kelvin strolled over to the radio, and picked up a bulky modified child's walkie talkie, complete with stars and bunny rabbits. We need to raise out communications budget... Kelvin thought, mentally sighing.
"Hello, cyborg hedgies for hire, how can we help you?" He said in a gruff monotone. After a few seconds he walked over to the window and looked out, to see the tornado 4, and Tails wearing a headset. Kelvin mentally swore. "He wants a race, to the centre and back!" Kelvin said, without a drop of emotion. Firestorm grinned.
At that moment, two marvellous transformations began. Firstly, Tail's landing gear/car wheels unfolded, leaving two legs, with wheels on the bottoms. Secondly, the back of the car, which harboured the tail of the plane split in two, moving round, and out of a hatch, fingers came out, leaving arms. Thirdly, the body raised, standing on it's legs, and adjusted the cockpit, placing it upright in the chest section. There was no head, but it was still a rather large mech.
The other transformation was as follows: The landing gear detached from the silver ship. Each 'limb' Folded away it's tyres. One limb gained a hand, the one next to it gained a pneumatic claw. The ones at the back folded into feet. The body lifted, revealing a leather pad, like the backrest on a chair, which was on the bottom. There were two handles, either side, and a corrugated iron step, below the leather backrest. There were circular holes dotted around. As the ship flew above, a hatch in the bottom opened, and Firestorm and Kelvin jumped out. Kelvin landed on the position where the head would be, holding onto a handle. Firestorm fell in front, as articulated metal tentacles lid out of his core, and each of his robotic fingers became one. They clipped into the holes, and supported Firestorm, they pulled him against the backrest, as he became floppy, unconscious, the mech sprung into life. He was actually using it a second body. "Bringit ginger!!" Kelvin shouted.
