Hello again everyone here is the next chapter in T:RTW. I probably should have said this in the first chapter the Battle Kukku Army is an Army of birds who Tails fights in the game gear game Tails Adventure. I also typed in the previous chapter I said Tails was going to the Green hill zone but it is actually called Hill Top zone. (I'm using the names of levels in Sonic 2 if you haven't guessed.)And I will be referring to the zone by its proper name from now on. Enjoy
Chapter 3
Tails set off in a full sprint towards the Hill top zone. The sun had already set and the sky was now dark. The only sounds came from the Casino zone where sirens echoed across the landscape signaling the beginning of the search for the two tailed fox.
The element of surprise was gone now and after his victory on Cocoa Island and his most recent stunt they certainly would not rest until he was dead. Tails couldn't deny he had made a mistake saving the Odds.
"They'll probably still kill the Odds and maybe even everyone else in the theater because of what I did there."
The BKA wouldn't let word of that failure spread to anyone else they let live. The last thing they would want is for people to become bold and start to resist their rule.
He entered the Hill top Zone and quickly found a tree to hide in. He set his scrap metal he brought with him under a group bush and flew to the top of the pine tree. He hid under the pine needles and tried to find a comfortable position.
For a moment he considered going to sleep but after last night's dream he didn't want to risk another encounter with Cocoa. He'd had a bad enough day already.
"I…I think I'll just hide here until…."
*Yawn*
The fox's eyes became heavy.
"No… I'm not going to sleep…. I'm… just going to sit here and rest"
He began to think about everything that had happened. Being shot down, planning to build a new plane, the dying pig in front of the Casino zone, and his reckless move in the theater. Would Sonic approve of everything he's done so far?
"I wonder what Sonic is doing right now?" he wondered as his eyes closed….
Tails was standing on a dirt road in the middle of a large forest. The sky was overcast and looked like it was minutes from raining.
"I sure hope there's no lightning." The fox said clueless to the fact he was in a dream.
He began feel like there was something important down the road and he began to walk forward wondering what he would find. The Forrest around him was strangely quiet and the only sound came from the wind blowing between the large oak trees.
After about five minutes of walking on the dirt road Tails came upon a clearing with small cabin and Blue hedgehog standing by the front door.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled instantly recognizing his hero.
The hedgehog did not respond but merely glanced up at tails with an unhappy look in his face.
Tails ran to his brother and stretched his arms out ready to give him a big bear hug. But when he reached Sonic he was greeted with a fist to his stomach.
Tails fell back onto the ground.
"Ouch! ...Hey why'd you do that?" The confused fox asked in pain.
The hedgehog walked up in front of Tails moving his mouth as though he was yelling but didn't make a sound, tears where dripping from his eyes.
Tails knew he had failed somehow and now Sonic was mad at him.
The sky began to sprinkle small droplets of rain on the two below.
"I'm…I'm sorry….but" the fox whimpered as he slowly stood up.
Again Sonic threw a fist into Tails gut.
Tails's vision was blurred with tears as he fell to the ground again. He tried to stand but Sonic stepped on Tails' back preventing him from moving. Sonic was still yelling at Tails but Tails couldn't hear anything.
A flash of lightning lit up the sky
*BANG!*
Tails jumped up and fell out of the tree he had taken refuge in the night before. Hitting every branch on the way down his impact with the ground wasn't hard but painful nonetheless.
"Ugh….." he groaned as he picked himself up off the ground, "I think I'll sleep on the ground from now on… man I have the worst luck with dreams." He was a little shaken by the thought of Sonic hitting him.
The bushes rustled signaling he was not alone and the fox instantly turned towards the sound and raised his fists taking a fighting stance.
"I know you're out there!" he called expecting a dozen Kukku soldiers to jump out and ambush him.
But instead he was greeted by a frightened yet familiar face. In front of him stood a young Vixen a little older than Tails with blond fur and purple eyes wearing a tattered red dress that must have cost a fortune only a few days ago.
"I….I….I…." she stuttered not knowing what to say.
"You're the Odds daughter."Tails said not lowering his guard. "What are you doing here?"
Tails didn't trust her since she used to pick on him before he left the island to help Sonic and become a hero.
"I…I…saw you…. You…grab the metal…. And thought you might need some more….so I….sort of followed you… with some… more metal."
Tails couldn't believe his ears. One of his former bullies was helping him. Was everyone like this or was she the only one.
"Um… Tails….?" She asked Tails who was staring into deep space.
"Oh! …uh…thanks… So where is it?" Tails asked as he lowered his fists.
The vixen motioned to the group of bushes he had hidden his own metal the night before and Tails jaw nearly fell all the way to the ground. The bushes where crushed under a pile of old gears pipes and other miscellaneous scrap.
There was enough scrap metal to build three tornados!
Well there you go. I hope you Enjoyed the third chapter of T:RTW and I hope to have more chapters ready soon. This chapter is shorter than my last two but I'm writing this at 12am and I've had a long week with school starting back up. I promise the next chapter will be longer.
