Chapter 4: Tails Most Glorious Invention Yet
I was sleeping in my new and improved home. That's right, ToonTown fans, no longer that two room house, but a four room one: a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a TV room. I hopped onto my new sofa and grabbed my new remote, and turned on my new TV. I still had the same channels as before: The News Channel, The CarToon Channel, Disney Channel, etc. I went onto The CarToon Channel. I quickly changed to Disney Channel after realizing the shows were terrible (The shows in this version on The CarToon Channel, not the real life one, Cartoon Network). The re-runs of Wizards of Waverly Place. I folded my elbow and put my hand under my head while laying sideways on the couch while watching TV. After a couple of minutes, the episode ended and Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone started playing. I sat upwards on the couch since I'm a fan of Harry Potter. Just then, the glass door was being knocked on to my right. I looked towards it and I saw Tails with a package. I walked up the door and opened it.
"What now? I'm starting to watch a Harry Potter movie." I said impatiently.
"Sorry, well anyways, I finally finished inventing a time machine. It took me a year to complete it." Tails said. That reminded me of what happened yesterday. "Sonic helped me a little. He gave a hourglass and I plugged it into this glorious device (Tails lifted up the package) and it worked!"
"Did that happen to be a Time-Turner from Harry Potter?" I asked.
"Are you that obsessed with Harry Potter?" Tails asked.
"Not THAT obsessed, unless remembering all the spells and having a wand of my own that actually works is weird, then yes, I am that obsessed with Harry Potter." I said. "Look." I held my wand at Tails. "Episkey!" A cylinder of green light surrounded my wand and Tails and he stood up straighter. I then yelled: "Aquamenti!" A thick string of water popped out my wand and splashed Tails.
"Cool, now look at this." Tails said. I pocketed my wand. Tails unwrapped the package and inside was a pocket watch. "This may look like an ordinary digital pocket watch, put if you turn this nob and tune to a certain date, time, and year, it will teleport you to it." Tails explained. He then looked at the time. "Here, turn it to two minutes ahead." Tails said. I grabbed the watch and turned the knob to 2 minutes ahead. Everything turned white and disappeared. I looked down and saw I was on a rolling floor thing that makes you either makes you go faster forward or slower backwards. I started to walk towards the right direction. After 30 seconds, a portal appeared. I jumped into it and I landed in front of Tails.
"Awesome, it works, now, here are some warnings." Tails handed me a piece of paper. Here is what it said.
Warnings for Time Travelers:
1. Be careful not to change anything from the past. It may be fatal and screw you up.
2. Do NOT jump off of the boosters (so that's what those things are called. I thought to myself). You will restart your trip.
3. This device takes one minute to recharge, if you use another device to speed up the process, it's not going to work.
"Okay got it." I said. "Time to see what Eggman is up to today." I turned off the TV and was going to exit my house until Tails blocked me.
"You can't go alone! Not after what happened to the last person like you."
"I think I'm the only person in all of the worlds that have these powers." I said.
"Yeah, but still, I think I should come with you." Tails said.
"Okay, but I only agreed for help and company." I said. Tails nodded.
"Where is Eggman's base?" Tails asked, wandering around. I pulled his arm.
"Right there." I said calmly, trying not laugh. There was a giant Eggman symbol with signs saying "Eggman's base!"
"Oh." Tails said.
"This is the first time you have said something stupid." I said.
"Yeah." Tails said sadly.
"Come on, lets go!" I shouted. I dashed towards the front entrance. I then felt a shock pass through my entire body. I was launched backwards onto my back and slid to Tails' side. I stood up and tried to regain awareness. When I did a couple seconds later, I dashed back to the door but got electrocuted again.
"I wonder how-"
BZT!
"That door-"
BZT!
"Is electrocuting-"
BZT!
"Tas." Tails finished. I was burnt badly and I felt a shock wave pass through my body. I readied myself to charge at the door one last time. I picked my foot up, threw it above my other knee, bent my lifted knee, and swung it forward for a fast start. Tails grabbed my arm.
"Do you want this bagel?" Tails asked, shoving a bagel onto my nose. I nodded vigorously. "Here ya go!" Tails threw it towards the opposite direction to where I was going to go to. Quick as Sonic, I changed my direction and chased the bagel. One second, I was still on the red sand where Eggman's base but the next second, I was running on water. The bagel quickly turned back to where I was. Not paying attention to my energy level and where I was, I skidded across the water until I was at a beach, then I dashed towards the flying bagel.
"He should be here in three, two, one..." The bagel flew into the entrance door.
"THAT'S MEH BAGEL!" I yelled. My head smashed right into the door and it swung upwards. I quickly grabbed the bagel and started eating it.
BAM, BAM, BOOM! I didn't notice the mess I created until I finished my bagel. I jumped and skidded on my heel until I stopped. I turned around and saw sparks disappearing from the air and saw a long scorch mark in front of me. I ran back with a quarter of the energy I had before and when I finally got to Tails, I fell on the floor. He grabbed my arms and dragged me through the hallways. I opened one eye.
"I wonder why all the buildings and contraptions that Eggman builds is the color black in the interior." I wondered out loud. I closed the eye again.
