Chapter 2
Super Tails flew through the ozone into space at a speed faster than sound. He was running out of rings quickly, but he was collecting more by the second. He still had about 99 rings left. He noticed Amy ahead of him. She was obviously new to going super, as she wasn't collecting any rings. She seemed to be focused completely on the capsule that was in front of her. She zoomed towards it, but just before reaching it, she burned through the last ring and reverted to regular Amy.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" She screamed, as she started to fall towards earth again. She was caught by Super Tails, who was right beneath her. As he continued to collect rings, he turned to her and said,
"Hey. I'll make you a deal. I need a test subject for one of my latest inventions. If you help me test it out later, I'll fly you back to Sonic."
Amy quickly replied, "I'll do it! Anything to be with Sonic!"
Tails smiled. He had tricked her again. Last time he did that, he had tested his mind reading device and had uncovered some ...disturbing... information. Don't ask questions. This time, he decided to test his new and improved sixth sense generator.
Still thinking of how it would improve his research, he decided that Sonic could live with Amy if it helped further scientific progress. He set Amy down by the door to the Security center. Amy waved goodbye to Tails, and entered. As Tails started dragging the Capsule back to his lab on earth, he thought he heard muffled screams from inside as the locked door handle twitched.
Tails landed and installed the Security center back into his lab. After he was done, he knocked on the door.
"YES!! TAILS GET ME OUT OF HERE!!AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
The screams were suddenly muffled, and Tails heard,
"Give us a few more minutes. We don't want you walking in on something so PRIVATE. You remember the mind reader."
"Okay, ten minutes." Tails didn't want that either. He had seen enough from the mind reader.
Ten minutes later, Tails returned to find everything exactly the same. Sonic was still screaming out and trying to open the door. Tails looked at his watch and said,
"You have thirty seconds before I come in. When I do, I hope not to see anything I shouldn't."
Tails waited a while for Amy, and when he came into the room, everything was where it should be. Amy was grinning ear to ear, and sonic was up against a wall, looking absolutely terrified. As soon as Tails entered, Sonic made a mad dash for the door. He gasped for air as he ran away screaming. Tails turned to Amy and said,
"Okay, let's let Sonic have some time to himself for a while."
Amy could only nod, still smiling.
"That was worth a lot more to me than testing your inventions. What will it be this time? Not the mind reader, I hope?"
"Nope. I'm going to test this." Tails pointed to one of the capsules in the corner of the lab. It was fixed with a whole ton of wires that connected to a computer, which had data scattered on the screen.
"That? What does it do?"
"It's designed to enhance your brain area that controls your sixth sense. We all have one that is unique to each of us, and with it strengthened, our lives will be easier."
"Cool! I wonder what mine is!"
"That's easy." said Tails. "I chose you because I already read your mind and found it. It's 'Sonic Radar'. At best, you will be able to tell which direction he is in, like North or South. I'm testing it to see how powerful the enhancement will be and how specifically you can locate Sonic."
"Ah. I always wondered how I could do that. Let's fire it up!" said Amy. She entered the capsule in front of her and closed the door behind her. Tails took to the computer and started tying madly. He clicked the mouse, and the capsule began filling with a strange liquid.
"You can breathe through the tube in front of you."
Amy quickly found the tube. She took breaths from it as the capsule continued to fill. When the capsule filled completely, Amy gave Tails a thumbs-up to show that she could breathe fine. Tails returned it, and started typing again. Amy felt a small tingle on the back of her head. She looked up to see that wires were attaching themselves to her head. Tails continued to type. Suddenly, Amy felt sleepy. Before she knew what was happening, she was asleep. Tails nodded. This way, she wouldn't feel anything he did to her brain.
Meanwhile, somewhere far, far away, Mets Persec was in her computer room. The room was completely black, and the only light was the computer screen in front of her. There were no distractions.
Mets Persec was a girl-fox who was famous for being a genius in microbiology. She had made many inventions that were made to combat viruses and other medicines to cure sicknesses that involve cellular malfunction. At the current point in time, she was working on an indirect way to gather data from organisms. She had created a prototype of her new project, named C.E.L.L.V.I.R.U.S. She had input the code onto Tails' laptop, and for the past few hours, she had used it to completely infect his lab. She noted that at the current time, Tails was modifying somebody's brain. It was Amy, of Course. She had made her Plan well. Now she used her program to insert the prototype into Amy. Now, she would see how it worked on Organisms.
As Amy woke up, she noticed that she was still in the capsule, but it was no longer filled with liquid. Tails stood by the open door.
"Okay, I finished modifying your brain. Now we will put it to the test." Tails took Amy out of the capsule. She drowsily followed Tails to a room in which there was a video camera pointing at her. He turned it on and asked,
"Okay, where is sonic right now?"
"Hmmmmmm... he's at the 13th park bench in Station Square talking to knuckles about what I just did. He's at latitude 28.484947674484 and longitude 37.865847674652."
"Hmmmmm..." Said Tails, who was looking at a map of Station square. He had micro chipped Sonic years ago, and he always knew where he was. Knuckles, who was also micro chipped, was indeed talking to him.
"That's exactly right. That worked well... but just because you now know where he is every minute of the day, try not to be on his back every chance you get, okay?"
"...fine."
"Let's see, now, let's try it on me."
"Tails? I have absolutely no idea how this thing works!"
"That's okay. I recorded the process so it can repeat itself. Just watch."
Tails left the room with Amy right behind him. Amy watched Tails as he entered the capsule and pushed a button on the wall. It filled with liquid again, and the wires attached to Tails' head. Tails fell asleep almost instantly. The wires stayed in place for a few minutes before they disconnected, drained the liquid, and opened the door. Tails woke up a few seconds later. Just like Amy, he walked out of the capsule like a drunken person. He fell into Amy's arms, and then suddenly, his eyes shot wide open.
"X equals negative B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus 4AC all over 2A squared plus B squared equals C squared plus E equals MC squared!"
Amy gave Tails a strange look.
"Sorry. That means 'Hi.'"
"Um... hi?" said Amy. Tails relaxed a bit before opening his eyes wide again and saying,
"...-.-..-..-.-.-.-..-.-..-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-...-.-..--..-..-."
"What was that? Morse Code?"
"Yes."
"You're weird."
"I know", said Tails, grinning. "I think that that thing just altered my sixth sense of communicating with computers."
"How do you know?" asked Amy.
"00101101010110000101111010100101010110011010101101010101011110010100101000010101010110110101110100110101010101110101010010010101110110101010101010101010100101010110101001101010010011011101010101010010101010-"
"Okay! I believe you! Just stop that!"
Tails cocked his head and said, "Why? Font size: 12. Font color: automatic. Font type: Times New Roman."
"Talk in English, not computer code."
"Okay."
"Better."
Back at Mets Persec's lab, the girl-fox was smiling contently. Of course she had inserted C.E.L.L.V.I.R.U.S. into Tails. It was too good of an opportunity. Hours afterward, the computerized virus had completely infiltrated both Tails and Amy's bodies. The viruses had control over the general function of the cellular structure of their body cells, after replacing the nuclei, and could produce, alter, and destroy other cells. The genetic code was familiar to Mets, and minutes after the infiltration, she had a copy of Tails' and Amy's. This Virus, she decided, could lead to great scientific progress. Before she would show her invention to the public, however, she wanted to have a little fun after weeks stuck in a lab designing C.E.L.L.V.I.R.U.S.
Mets was not what you would call a good sport in many cases. She had invented great things in her life, but yet, she was overshadowed by that stupid boy-fox Tails. He had released his inventions at age 8, while she was 26, so he got much more credit, even though she had made better stuff.
Mets' heart was filled with jealousy, and she wanted revenge, and here she had Tails' genetic code and control over his basic cellular function. Hmmmmmmmmm... She thought long and hard about doing something she shouldn't. After a few minutes of thought, jealousy won her over, and she set her plan in motion.
