Author's Notes: Nothing new.
Chapter 2
Three Hours Later; New Mobius Slums(1)...
Tails walks through what appears to be the slums, formerly known as Knothole, and he grimaces slightly before a newspaper flies into his face and he looks it over.
Newspaper: "Scientists claim Dimensional Barriers weakened (2)! Unknown Cause!
Beggars begging declared illegal!
Sonic declares, "Let them have chili-dogs!" (3)!
Honor Guard Commander, Antoine D'Coolette, mysteriously disappears!"
"Boy, this place is a shithole." muttered Tails as he tossed the newspaper away and he suddenly gets an idea and he smiles evilly before sneaking off into the shadows and a cat is seen digging through a trash can, trying to find something to get by unaware of the dark shadow looming over him before blood flies against the wall and after a short struggle, the cat's remains are dumped into the trash can and Tails is seen putting on a somewhat decent trench coat and a wide-rimmed hat.
"Too easy." muttered Tails as he walks out of the alley, his tails now wrapped together, giving him the appearance of having only one tail.
After a bit, he finds a poorly maintained registration center and walks in and notices all the graffiti and trash inside the building and holds his breath as he walks up to the counter.
"Okay, just fill out this sheet, pay a dollar and you're registered." said the dog at the counter reading a newspaper and smoking a cigar as he handed Tails the registration papers and Tails sweat-drops.
'Security sucks.' thought Tails as he filled out the registration form and after a bit, he decided to go with "Prower" for his name as frankly, that name was actually kind of common outside of Knothole before he got arrested and sentenced to death. He then puts a dollar on the counter and the dog takes the form and pockets the money and hands him his new ID card.
"Now get out." said the dog pointing to the door with his thumb and Tails leaves but drops a grenade as he leaves and once he's a decent ways away, the building explodes and money flutters in the breeze and people go into a mad scramble for the free money. Tails chuckles under his breath as he fades into the shadows again.
Middle Class Sector; New Mobious; 20 Minutes Later...
Tails looks around at the rather poor improvement of living quarters for the city's inhabitants in what should be the middle class section but it nearly looks identical to the slums minus no one is living on the streets but its still rather poor.
"Geez, this is almost worse than when Buttnik was in control." muttered Tails under his breath before he walked further into the city and he was disgusted when he came to the Upper Class sector which was fully maintained and only really rich people lived in this sector. He walked away and leaned against a wall before he realized he was leaning against the wall of the palace and nearby was a vent. Looking around to make sure nobody is watching, he quickly opens the vent and climbs inside it before closing it.
After a few feet, he stops over a room that looks like a command center and listens.
"Things are falling apart out there Sal." came Sonic's voice.
"I know. We haven't been doing anything right and things are just getting worse. The press is against us along with most of the counsel. Everything we try to pass gets vetoed and then something that only helps the rich and makes the city even worse than before. Too bad we never found the vault Robotnik's files spoke about." came Sally's voice and Tails curses under his breath.
"Wait...they never found the vault, I was close to find it...heh he heh. Time to make things harsh for them." whispered Tails to himself as he made his way out of the vents and left the city altogether, his destination...the ruins of Robotropolis.
Ruins of Robotropolis; One Hour Later...
[Creature Feature- Bad Blood]
Tails looks across at the ruins and sees the Mobian Army digging through the ruins of the city for anything that can salvaged and melted down for parts. Tails' fur stands on end when he feels a gun put to the back of his head.
"What are you doing here?" said the Soldier, his voice gruff and not up for any funny business.
Tails is thinking rapidly before he realizes that if that stupid AI back at his lab is correct...a headshot won't kill him. He then calculates the chances of a bullet hitting his gem if they don't know to aim for it and puts it at a 2% chance and he smiles evilly as he brings out his claws and spins around before the soldier can react and slices his throat open, blood spraying all over him.
Tails gets up and a gunshot rings out and a bullet zooms by his head and he then notices that all of them are only using pistols and then thinks it over quickly that the only person he'd have to watch out for would be Shadow the Hedgehog because of how much of a crackshot he is with guns.
Tails dodges a bullet fired at his head but its an inch from his face as he dodges and he just blinks dumbly for a few seconds before he recovers and charges the soldiers.
Within seconds, eight out of the ten soldiers currently at the ruins are dead and Tails is holding another one by the neck and he snaps the guy's neck so badly that the neck vertebrae sticks out of the skin. Tails drops his body and walks over to the last soldier who is trying to crawl away from the scene and Tails grabs him by the leg and begins dragging him towards a ruined alleyway.
Screams are heard from the alleyway along with blood splattering against walls and the sound of bones being broken and flesh being ripped apart is heard. After a few seconds, the screams grow silent and Tails exits the alley, smiling like a psychopath and inside the alley, the soldier had been skinned alive and his arms and legs ripped off, his legs being shoved into his eyes and his arms were used to string him up, hanging him at the same time.
On the alley walls were these words: "I'm back...better run."
If one were able to also decipher the gibberish near it, they would also see: "Run", "Not self", "Shut up", and "I didn't mean to", "I enjoyed it" signaling something else is going on with Tails...
END CHAPTER
Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to read, review, follow and/or favorite.
(1) Couldn't really think of a good city name.
(2) Uh-oh. Expect anything.
(3) Anyone know what this is a reference to?
The author wished me to inform you readers that about two to three inter-dimensional characters will be added BUT he will list them and let you decide whether or not they get added. Please be aware that he is asking politely on this and expects that politeness returned. Meaning stuff like this, "NO STUPID F*CKING INTER-DIMENSIONL CHARACTERS!" will be ignored. Ahem, anyway...here are the characters and the universes they are from (suggestion: read the story they are from to understand these versions) he wanted me to list:
Freddy Fazbear- Tails the Machine version
Bonnie- Tails the Machine version
Foxy- Tails the Machine version
Tails Doll- Tails the Machine version
Update: Or...Golden Freddy- Tails the Machine/Discord vs. Klaxon 2: Dimensional Terror version
Be polite when suggesting which ones and remember, don't be mean.
He also wanted me to state that he does NOT own Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, or Foxy. The theory he has on them, which is in that story, belongs to him though.
