Tiny squish Puny Foxes!

Night Time. Tails was sitting up on the sofa. He was thinking about what happened. 'Why?' was the question he'd been asking himself all night. He could escape it, or get to sleep because of it. 'Why had Sonic left me to die? Why had Eggman given me two chaos emeralds? Why were the Bandicoots being so nice to him? He'd never done anything to help them or anything…' Tails thought. He sighed at stood up, and walked over to the window. The moon glistened over the sea. 'Wow…that's he most amazing view I've ever seen…The Bandicoots sure are lucky…' he thought in sheer amazement. He was starting to wish that he could stay here a little longer. Slowly he took a step outside, just to get a better view of the wondrous sight. He stood there, mesmerized. The moonlight sparkled in his eyes. The light reminded him off the time Cosmo sacrificed herself… Tails hung his head. Why? If he had any sense, he wouldn't of caved in. If it also had meant Sonic wouldn't be around. That would almost been worth it. Tails sighed and sat down, the waves gently lapping against his red and white shoes.

Coco couldn't sleep either. She had a bad gut feeling. A long time without an attack from Cortex, it seemed too good to be true. She got out of bed and put her shoes on. She went out the back door, so she didn't see Tails. Round the back and up a cliff, there was an ancient temple. This temple was where Aku Aku spent his days. She went inside. Old columns kept the place standing. You could see they had been through a lot. At the back of the temple, there was an old carving. It was Aku Aku's face/body. Coco walked up to it and put her hand gently on it. 'Aku Aku…I need to know something about the future…' she thought. The carving lit up a bit. It had a nice light blue. But then it turned blood red. "!!" Coco was shocked. This had never happened before! A giant red glowing portal crackled into life before Coco's eyes. Coco took several steps back. There was a loud crack of lightning, and something came from the portal. The giant figure eyed Coco. "Tiny squash Bandicoot now!"

The crack of lightning made Tails jolt. In a second, he was up on his feet looking around. He saw more blood red lightning crashing into a temple. Slates went flying from what he could see. He also heard a yell of fear. Tails blinked in surprise. 'That's Coco!' he thought. He got his tails spinning as fast as he could, maximizing his speed, and flew towards the temple. 'I will return the favor Coco..' he thought.

Rouge flew over the night sky. Success with the chaos emeralds wasn't too huge, she'd only found one so far. She had only found. Rouge knew the best person to go to for the Emeralds. She landed slowly on Eggmans airship. She knew it like the back of her hand. She crawled through the ventilation shaft until she came to the Eggmans main room. Eggman was tapping some buttons. It didn't look like he was doing anything of importance. Rouge hammered the vent down and landed behind Eggman. "Hey Eggman." She smiled. Eggman spun round in his chair. "Rouge? What are you doing here, I have no time for you." He sighed. "Shut it. I'm not leaving until I have your chaos emeralds!" Rouge snapped. "The Chaos Emeralds? Well I'm afraid you're out of luck there." Eggman said, spinning his chair round and returning to his work. "What do you mean?" Rouge growled. "I sent them to Tails so that he could get home quicker."

Rouge suddenly stopped. "Did you say…Tails? Tails is still alive!?!"

Coco stood, paralyzed with fear. Tiny walked towards her, his every footstep shaking the temple. "Tiny gonna squish you for good now!" He shouted. He swung a punch that would level a giant building. Coco yelped and dived out of the way. Tiny swung his other arm round to catch Coco, but she rolled and hid behind one of the columns. Tiny looked around, not seeing her go behind a pillar. "Bandicoot can't hide forever! Tiny find you in the end!" Tiny roared. He suddenly smashed a pillar down. The temple shook. Coco was scared stiff by now, and her breathing became fast. Tinys ear twitched slightly. "Tiny found you!" He growled. He kicked the pillar Coco was behind. Coco yelped again as the pillar crushed her underneath. She crawled out, shaking with fear. Tiny grabbed her by the neck. "Tiny got you now…"He snickered. He reared his fist back for a final blow. Coco clenched her eyes shut, waiting for the inevitable. Just as Tiny was going in for the kill, something grabbed his arm. Tiny looked round with rage. "You touch her again, you'll pay so dearly." Tails threatened.

"Tiny no scared of Puny fox!" Tiny roared. He dropped Coco and tried to hit Tails. Tails literally vanished into thin air! In actual fact, Tails was faster than the eye, and he ended up behind Tiny. He propelled himself upwards with his tails and smashed Tiny with two sharp kicks. Tiny fell forwards. He got up and roared so loud, the temple was like an earthquake. Tails stood his ground as well as he could. "Tiny will now squish you like bug!" He shouted. He smashed Tails into the wall. "Tiny Beat you!" he roared. Through the rubble however, Tails managed to stand up. "Heh, you're pretty strong." Tails smiled.

"Tiny not Pretty Strong, Tiny VERY Strong!" Tiny bellowed. "Well it seems Tiny needs speaking lessons, because I can't take anyone that doesn't have the correct grammatical use of the language we speak seriously." Tails smiled. Tiny was confused. "Err…gramical?" He pondered. "Exactly what I mean," Tails laughed. He started to spin his tails extremely fast. Then, faster than a bullet, he started circling Tiny. Tiny tried to keep watch on him, but got dizzy very easily. The wind started to pick up underneath Tiny's feet, and soon, a blistering tornado had scooped Tiny into the air. Tails was flying just beside him. "This is where it ends!" he shouted. He started up a midair Spin dash. When it was fully charged, he rammed into Tiny, sending him flying out of the temple and into the sky, where a star twinkled, showing that he'd fallen far way.

Tails flew back to his feet, and ran over to Coco. "Coco! A-are you okay?" he stuttered. Coco coughed, a line of blood running down her face. "Y-yeah…I'm ok now…W-what about you? …" She asked. "I'm fine, why?" "That was a pretty hard hit you know." "Nothing I haven't taken before." Tails smiled. Coco laughed a bit and smiled. "Thank you Tails..."

Later, Tails was helping Coco back to the house. When they got in, Tails noticed that Crash and Crunch hadn't moved a muscle. "They're very deep sleepers, well…Crash is anyway." Coco said. It was very true, they hadn't budged.
