To everyone else, it would have just looked like we were glaring at each other. But if YOU had telepathy, you'd know EXACTLEY what was going on…
It's just a song from my world! I DO NOT really think that way about women! Jesus Christ, WILL YOU CALM DOWN ALREADY? I yell at her through mind speak.
NO, I WILL NOT! How DARE you even THINK about such a horrible song! She yells back. Well, the song in question was "No Hands" by Waka Flocka Flame. Seriously, is it really that bad?
IT'S JUST A SONG!
I DON'T CARE! Don't you EVER play it again!
You're not my mom, YOU can't tell me what to do!
(Girl the way you moving, got me in a trance. DJ turn it up, ladies this your jam.) I play the song in my head. She jolts up from the table and her fist burst into flame. Touched a nerve did I?
YOU. ARE. DEAD…
IF. YOU. CAN. CATCH. ME. PSYCHOTIC! I shoot back.
"THAT'S IT!" she yells and lunges at me, I easily dodge. She comes again and sends a punch at my face, which I block. We go like this for a few seconds, me blocking and her striking. Eventually I bolt for the door and speed down the road as fast as my legs will carry me, Blaze hot on my heels. The hedgehog and the fox watched from the kitchen window as two supersonic blurs sped away into the distance, the red one laughing and yelling something about "psychotic"…
(Three hours later…)
WHEW, I think I lost her! You'd think that running at the speed of sound would make it easy to escape right? WRONG! The psycho cat chased me ALL THE WAY TO ANGEL ISLAND! Fortunately Knuckles is letting me hide here until the heat dies down because I am SCARED AS FUCK to go back down there. Now all I have to do is keep my mind clear whenever she's nearby. Damn it, this telepathy is a FREAKING CURSE!
OH WYATT, WHERE ARE YOU? Calls Blaze's voice in my head like a young girl playing hide and seek. Okay, THAT was creepy. THERE YOU ARE!
FUCK! I yell and bolt from the underbrush that I'm lying in JUST as it gets lit up by a fireball. I make a dead sprint for the edge of the island and pass Knuckles, who oddly enough, is talking to Rouge.
"THANKS KNUCKLES!" I yell as I zoom past in a blur. At the edge I jump out as far as I can go. I fall some one hundred feet into the ocean and start swimming for my life. I make it to the beach and Blaze appears in a pillar of flame. I've got to admit, it looked pretty BADASS.
You've got nowhere left to run.
Shit.
Nowhere to hide.
Double shit. I think before running to the right. I make it about fifty yards before I'm tackled to the ground. There she is, pinning me to the ground, smiling? What the fuck? Why is she smiling? I get my answer when I see a mental image in her head of her bobbing my tail and shaving my fur.
NO, PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'M TOO PRETTYFUL!
No can do, CAT. You've made me look like a fool in front of everyone… "…And now you're going to pay for it. I don't care if it irreparably foils destiny, you WILL SUFFER!"
"Irreparably foils destiny?" with my words she freezes up.
"Shit…" she mutters. She gets off of me and bolts off in the other direction.
"WAIT, BLAZE!" I call but too late. What was THAT all about? Why would killing me ruin destiny? Am I really THAT important in the world? Okay, it's official, THIS WORLD IS ON DRUGS!
(TPOV)
I hear the sound of fast approaching footsteps and turn to see a purple blur zooming past me. It's Blaze! That chase was pretty funny this morning, I have to admit. Did she finally catch Wyatt? If so, then he's probably dead by now. Seriously, that cat is the ONLY person I know that is stupid enough to pick a fight with her, well, besides Shadow at least. But even HE doesn't rile her up enough to use her powers. Now that I think of it, how did he make her mad? They were just glaring at each other when Blaze stood up and attacked him! It was almost as if they were speaking telepathically! Well, this morning I DID her mutter something about "It can't be true" and "It can't be HIM". I wonder if she was talking about Wyatt. That would answer a lot of questions, now wouldn't it? I turn my attention back to the ground and put my head in my hands. Why am I sitting, depressed on a park bench you ask? Hehe, well, it's pretty simple... I miss her…
(WPOV)
I'm BORED. AS. FUCK! It'll be a cold day in hell when I go back to Sonic's place to see Blaze again, and I REALLY don't know what Mobians (I THINK that's what they call themselves) like to do. So far I've seen some weird CTF/dodge ball hybrid, but no football or baseball! Not even, dare I say it, SOCCER! I have to move from cover to cover, just in case Blaze is somewhere waiting in ambush. Using my newly found cat like agility, I sneak through the tree branches of the park, silent as a wraith. I have three words for YOU Sam Fisher, KISS. MY. ASS! The same goes to you too, Sly Cooper. I hear a sigh below me, and look down to see Tails starring at his feet, looking depressed. I wonder what's up. I lower myself so that I'm hanging by my legs upside down, facing him.
"¡Hola Tails! ¿Comò te va?" I ask in Spanish. He nearly JUMPS OUT OF HIS SKIN! He turns to face me and a small smile forms.
"Hey Wyatt, what are you doing?" he asks. Okay, you may hate me for this, but NOW is the perfect opportunity!
"Not much, just HANGINGaround!" I reply. Yes, it was cheesy, but I just couldn't resist! He lets out a small chuckle. SEE? HE thinks it's funny!
"What did you say to me?"
"I asked you 'how are you doing' in Spanish."
"Spanish?" he asks puzzled. OF COURSE Mobians don't speak Spanish!
"It's a foreign language from my world." I explain. Then, I hear a small crack. OH. SHIT! "DAMN IT!" I yell as the limb I'm hanging from snaps and I fall four feet to the ground with a thump. Tails is laughing his ass off.
"You really need to stop, you're killing me!"
"¡NO, soy un gatto loco!"
"Huh?"
"*Sigh* NO, I'm a crazy cat!" I translate. Tails smiles before going back into his depressive state. Okay, I'm starting to get a little worried. "Was sup, Holmes? You look a little down." Tails sighs before speaking.
"I just miss someone…" he says softly.
"Who? Family, friends, long lost loves?" I ask. Tails ears perk when he hears the "long lost loves" part.
"You could say that…"
"Well, who do you miss?"
"No one special…"
"C'mon Tails, if they weren't special then they wouldn't be your 'long lost love'!" I counter.
"Fine, let's just say that there's this girl from another dimension, Blaze's in fact. She's this very beautiful raccoon that LOVES adventure and techie stuff, like me-"he says, but I can't help but interrupt.
"MARINE?" I say in astonishment. TAILS, in love with MARINE? He sighs again.
"Yes, I admit it. I, MILES 'TAILS' PROWER, AM IN LOVE WITH MARINE THE RACCOON." He states boldly. But his mood softens again. "It just depresses me to think that I'm probably never going to see her again…"
"Why haven't you talked to Sonic about this?"
"Because he would have been overly peppy and enthusiastic, and said something like 'Don't worry, I'm sure you'll see her soon!' I sometimes talk to her on the inter-dimensional communicator, but it's not the same."
"Point taken." I say. He nods and continues.
"What do you think?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think that I'll ever see Marine?" he asks. I sit down with him and exhale, rubbing my forehead.
"You see Tails; I could give you two answers to that question, the Sonic answer, or the MAN answer."
"What's the man answer?"
"It's where I'm pretty much just flat out honest to you about what I think. The Sonic answer, well, I guess you already know what THAT'LL be like."
"I've already heard the Sonic answer." He says. "So I want to hear the man answer."
"Tails…" I say, "… please, before I do this, know that I will NOT hold back anything and that my answer will be completely straight and to the point."
"Just say it." He says.
"Fine. I personally think that your chances of seeing Marine again are pretty slim…" I say. I see his ears droop a little, but don't worry, because I'm not finished!
"BUT…" I say, regaining his attention, "… considering that Eggman has one of the Sol emeralds, I highly doubt that he got it on his own. I think that Nega had some part in it. So basically what I'm trying to say is, we MIGHT just have to go to Blaze's dimension sometime during this fiasco, and MAYBE, just MAYBE, you'll be able to see Marine again." With this, he perks back up again.
"Thanks Wyatt." He says, his depression cured. He gets up and is about to leave when I stop him. There's just one more thing I need to tell him…
"Tails, just so you know what I just told you is BETWEEN YOU AND ME. Okay?"
"Gotcha!" he says before flying off. Well, THAT temporarily cured my boredom. Now what?
(BPOV)
I sit bored in Tails' workshop, unsure of what to do next. I CAN'T BELIEVE what happened this morning! I had that idiot RIGHT THERE! Why did I run? I could've ended him RIGHT THERE! But wait, if I did that, then I'd shoot the prophecy full of holes, and there wouldn't be another guardian of the Sol emeralds. I hear fluttering and turn to see Tails fly into his workshop, a spring in his step.
"Hi Blaze!" he greets enthusiastically. Wait, wasn't he all sad and mopey just about an hour ago?
"What's got you so happy?"
"I don't really see why you hate Wyatt so much; he's such a nice guy!"
"Not this again." I say with a hint of annoyance. Tails just shakes his head at me.
"Blaze, I just really don't get why you want to kill him."
"He made me look like a fool in front of everyone!"
"YOU burned him."
"HE attacked you guys."
"WE attacked him first." He shoots back. "AND, he saved your life."
"Touché." I say. I hate to admit it, but Wyatt actually DIDN'T do anything wrong. I still need to get back at him though… maybe I just won't KILL him.
(WPOV)
So here I sit on the park bench that Tails just left from. Please, God in Heaven, GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO! As if on cue, a loud explosion sounds from the westerly direction. Well, um, thanks! I get up from where I'm sitting and take off as a red blur towards the source of the noise. I arrive within five minutes and see… A WHOLE ARMY OF EGGBOTS ADVANCING TOWARDS THE CITY! There seems to be some men in strange uniforms shooting back from whatever cover they can find. Before I can do anything, I'm swooped up into the air and flown at top speed to a car parked across the road. I'm roughly thrown to the ground and look up to see Rouge crouching next to me. I stand up and peer over the car and see that these eggbots have missile launchers. Shit…
"Rouge, what the hell's going on?"
"Eggbots have started a surprise assault on the city! We need to repel them, fast!" she yells. I look back at the fifty or so soldiers crouching behind whatever cover they can find. Some have sniper rifles, some have machine guns, and some have rocket launchers… AND THERE ALL IN THE SAME PLACE? God damn it SEGA! Could you at least give the soldiers some tactics?
"Are there any reinforcements?" I yell back.
"Yes, ETA twenty minutes!"
"Have you told the soldiers that?"
"Well, um, no." she says. GOD DAMN IT! I run across the large highway that we're positioned on and duck down behind a concrete barricade. One of the soldiers looks at me.
"WHAT THE HELL? I DON'T RECOGNIZE YOU AS ONE OF OUR AGENTS!" he yells.
"I'M NOT! I'M HERE TO HELP!" I yell at the human.
"WELL THE ONLY HELP YOU CAN GIVE RIGHT NOW IS GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
"YOU SURE?" I ask and call to the rest of the men, catching their attention. Before I can say anything, I have to duck as a missile zooms over my head. I stand back up and hurl a fireball at the eggbot that sent it, obliterating him. I turn back to the wide eyed soldiers and clear my throat. "LISTEN UP! WE'VE GOT REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVING IN TWENTY MINUTES. WE'RE ON OUR OWN 'TIL THEN!" I yell. I see some of the soldiers cheer. See? All you need is a little morale boost! I turn to the soldier nearest me.
"GIVE ME YOUR RADIO!"
"WHAT?" he asks back obviously confused.
"JUST DO IT!" the man next to him yells. The man looks from me to his comrade for a second before relinquishing his communicator. I slip the device on my head and survey my surroundings. There's about a thousand plus eggbots attacking, all of them with missile launchers. BUT, they're attacking on a highway, advancing in rows in the limited space. I face the nearest sniper team, and the little lens over my eye marks them as "Sniper team Bravo".
"Sniper team Bravo, I need you to take up a position within the ten story building to our right." I order.
"Which one?" the man asks through the radio. Okay, REALLY? I point to THE ONLY ten story building and set a fire on the roof, marking it, then immediately extinguishing it. The man nods then he and his squad move out. Within three minutes I see them on the roof, picking off eggbots within the cluster. Perfect.
"Teams Charlie and Zulu, I want flanking positions on the left YESTERDAY!"
"Roger." And they advance to the left, eliminating bots from the side. That leaves the rocket launcher guys…
"Who's your commanding officer?" I ask a private. He points to a tall, skinny man with a captain's insignia on his sleeve.
"Captain, I need you to take some of your chalk and bring them to the rear!"
"I don't know who the hell you are, but roger that." He says and calls half of the heavies away; they make their way below the highway and to the rear of the horde.
"The rest of you!" I call, gaining the attention of the men around me, "NO ONE MAKES IT PAST THIS LINE!" I yell. I light a wall of flame across the road. They get the memo and begin to focus their attention on the robots closest to them. I begin to hurl fireballs at whichever one I see. I have NO CLUE how I just did that! Maybe I've been playing too much "Tom Clancy's: End War". Rouge flies over.
"Two minutes!" she says. I nod in acknowledgement and she picks up and assault rifle.
"TWO MINUTES!" I call over the radio.
"OORAH!" is my response. I'm so glad I taught them that phrase! Wait, I hear engines! I turn and see several drop ships on approach. And, if I'm not mistaken, the Tornado! We need back ground music! My favorite song starts playing.
"HOW'RE YOU DOING THAT?" calls the guy next to me.
"DOING WHAT?"
"PLAYING THAT SONG?"
"I DON'T KNOW! NOW SHUT UP, THE LYRICS ARE STARTING!"
(Stand up and be counted, for what you are about to receive!)
Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze all land next to me.
"What's that song?" Sonic and Shadow ask at the same time. Blazes face palms, knowing where it's coming from.
(We are the dealers, we'll give you everything you'll need!)
About a hundred more troops file in behind us and start shooting.
(Hail hail to the good times, 'cause rock has got the right away!)
"Ready for this?" I ask the three animals next to me, they nod.
(We ain't no legend, ain't no cause!)
"CHAAAAARGE!" I yell. I hear a roar as everyone charges into the fray guns blazing.
(We're just living FOR TODAY!)
I punch an eggbot, sending him flying JUST as the chorus starts.
(FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU!)
Sonic's doing a chain spin dash attack on a group of eggbots targeting him.
(FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK, WE SALUTE YOU!)
Blaze starts a small fire tornado, swooping up about fifty of the bots in one go.
(We rock at dawn on the front line, like a bolt right out of the blue!)
Shadow uses "chaos spear" and takes out twenty.
(The sky's alight with the guitar bite, heads will roll and rock tonight!)
Three soldiers kneel in a row and begin to take out bots in rapid succession.
(FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (FIRE!), WEEEEEEEE SAAALUUUUUUUTE YOOOOOOU!)
The song ends JUST as both me and Blaze throw a fireball at the same time and turn the bot to ashes. Everything is quiet…
"OORAH!" comes the thunderous cheers. Me and Blaze look directly at each other and blush. I threw with my right arm and she threw with her right, and we were standing right next to each other. Our noses were barely bristling each other, he body was against mine… AND EVERYONE WAS WATCHING US!
"AWW!" came the crowd of soldiers. Sonic whistled and even Shadow smirked.
Um, run back to Tails' workshop and lay low for a day or so? I suggest through our telepathy.
For once Wyatt, I think you may have a smart idea. She replies, eyeing the crowd. We nod to each other and take off in opposite directions, each headed towards the same destination.
AN: Chapter four! If you haven't heard "For those about to rock" by AC/DC, THEN GO YOUTUBE IT! IT IS THE MOST EPIC SONG EVER! Please find it in your heart to take ten seconds of your time to review please! You would make this guy SO happy! Not that you care LOL XD!
