Sonic looked at the bike. "That's defiantly Fiona's bike."
"There's the pocket knife I gave Tails." Sally said.
"You gave him a pocket knife?!" Tails' mother shouted at her.
"He knows how to use a blade now. If he found another knife he'll be fine."
"How would you know?"
"I taught him how to use it." Sally opened the knife and threw it between two branches that would be nearly impossible.
"Wow..." Sonic said making Sally smile.
"Okay..."
"I'm guessing that Fiona took Tails." Sonic said.
With Tails and Fiona.
"Is he going to be alright?" Fiona asked.
"Yeah. He'll be fine." The soldier said to her.
He reached into his satchel and pulled out a roll of white material.
"I'm just going to have to wrap his head very tightly in gauze to stop the bleeding. Head injuries tend to bleed much more than regular injuries." He placed the gauze on the cut and went around his head over and over again making it tight then put two pins on top of the end.
"Now what?" Fiona asked shivering.
"Now we have to get him to the med bay." He stood facing her; she read the tags on his pocket flaps, on his right it said Harris on his left it said Master Gunnery Sargent.
"Where's that at? Will it be hard to access?"
"It might. I don't know how much structural damage the base has taken. So what happened?" Harris asked Fiona.
"I opened that door and a burst of air shot out and he caught me." Harris looked at the control room door and back at her his eyes were blue and his hair short and very dark brown.
"Usually that would have been a ball of extremely hot fire that would've killed you, but the released liquid nitrogen cooled it. You're lucky." Harris picked up Tails and slung him over his shoulder.
Harris pointed to a door with the word stairs sticked into it. Fiona pushed the door open and it locked in place; she ran downstairs and the lower stair platform was stable. Fiona called Harris down and they went down another level a door was open and cryo pods were all over the room was the size of Mobotropilis and then some. There were rows upon rows of those pods.
"Wow are they..."
"Full?" Harris finished for her. "Yes, they all are."
"How many are here?" Fiona knew she wasn't going to like the answer.
"Over one billion men and women, doctors, soldiers, police, firefighters, and normal everyday people." Fiona looked at the room again and she tried to see the rear but failed.
"So is this 'med bay' below us?"
"Yes, fox girl..."
"I'm twenty-four." Fiona said making his eyes grow wide.
"You've surpassed the life expectancy of another thing except a human... that I know exists. How old is this guy?" He asked adjusting Tails on his shoulder.
"Eighteen." Fiona said.
"Wow, an twenty-four year old with an eighteen year old who is the guy." He smiled walking down the flight of stairs to medical level.
"I'm not with him... not like that."
"No, but you want to. Very much so, this I can easily tell." He smiled again Harris heard a low creaking, grinding sound.
"What's that?" Fiona asked backing up to the platform.
"Shit." The concrete floor was breaking fast; Harris threw Tails up to Fiona and she caught him and the staircase below her fell taking Harris with it.
A cloud of dust rose up and cleared Harris was on the next stairwell platform a long piece of metal was sticking through his leg. He stood up anyway. "Throw him down to me."
Fiona gently lowered Tails down into Harris' arms who slung him over his shoulder again. He walked down the stairs trying to avoid the rubble, Fiona jumped down and landed perfectly.
"What will you do with him once we're there?" Fiona asked.
"He'll need rest and X-rays to see how damaged his skull is." The medical level doors slid open receding into the concrete walls.
"It looks okay." A few places had fallen and the same strips of metal that were in Harris' leg were jutting out of the ceiling.
"More damn rebar." He said looking from the ceiling to his leg, which was dripping blood and spurted a little stream every few seconds.
"How much blood are you losing?" Fiona asked looking at Harris' leg, his pants with digital urban camo on it was dark red along with its regular color.
"I'm not shaky, so enough." They walked into the medical level to see the entire level still had power. "This level has three generators instead of just one as usual."
"Okay... I guess." Fiona didn't really know what to say.
Harris opened a door and a bed was in there along with an IV, EKG, and an X-ray machine including a few odd looking syringes.
"On the bed and let's have a closer look." He set Tails on the bed and unraveled the bandage.
"Fiona..." Tails moaned sounding like he had gravel in his throat.
"He's still unconscious." Harris got the bandage off and moved the hair and fur out of the way of the cut.
"How bad is it?"
"Not bad its just a cut. I would administer a stimpac to this but it could do damage to his cerebral cortex."
"A what?"
"A stimpac. A syringe filled with stim cells. It immediately heals a wound such as a broken bone. The reason being that stim cells can become any type of cell in the body." He took one of the syringes and a long needle came out, he put it right through the cast and into Tails' leg; the liquid inside went into the leg right up against the broken area of bone.
A small snap came from Tails' leg after Harris pulled the needle out. Harris wrapped up Tails' head as more snapping came from his leg.
"It's good he's not awake this would hurt more than anything." Tails began to move a bit but not too much, then his eyes opened right as the snapping stpped.
"Ouch, my leg feels like someone put in a meat grinder." Tails said as a joke but it was much worse than that.
"Well you're still alive." Fiona said smiling at him.
"Yeah I'm still kicking." He chuckled.
Fiona smiled then Harris trying to be funny, "Do you want me to tell him how much you… argh," Fiona socked him in the stomach making him laugh.
"Keep your trap shut." Harris sat down and put a tourniquet on his leg above the wound.
He pulled out the rebar and blood shot out after it, he put and stimpac into the hole and shot the cells in. The wound sealed itself up and a snapping came from it. His face turned white with every nerve firing off the signal for pain. Voices came from the stairwell then the thud of military boots and one was different from the others.
"Hey... that sounds... like my friends." Harris said looking at the door to the hallway.
"I wonder if Darwin got out before us." The one with an odd accent said.
"I bet he did." They heard two women with three men.
"Yeah, he's very smart, probably somewhere on this level." One woman said.
"But didn't he always get into trouble?" The other asked.
"He did in middle school. Remember when he tried to steal something from... I heard something." He said looking at the door to the room with Tails Fiona and Harris in it.
The door opened and they saw Harris sitting on a chair.
"Hey guys. Look what I found," Harris pointed at Fiona and Tails.
"What the fuck?"
"That's what I said," Harris said chuckling.
"Are they foxes?" She asked turning pale.
"Yep, well as far as I can tell."
"Hi," Tails said to them; their eyes widened.
"You can talk too?"
"Yeah, they can talk. He's Tails and she's Fiona." The others waved to Fiona and Tails. "Now this would be the part where you all introduce yourselves." Harris said smiling.
"I'm Faith," said the blond woman with blue eyes.
"Justin." A caucasian male with brown eyes and short blond hair.
"Coleman's the name." A wild looking caucasian male with red hair.
"And finally this is Aaron the other red head white guy with a lot of freckles... but where's Anthony? He's my cousin." Harris asked them.
"He's upstairs checking the rest of the pods on our level." Faith said.
"Yep, where are you're glasses?" Justin said.
"I think we should see how well this base has held together and see how long we were out."
"Okay Korie." Justin said with a little snark. "You can walk around this place but I'm staying here; I feel like I have freezer burn."
Korie, Faith, and Harris started to walk around the level until they found a wall map of the base except it was a holo-map. Fiona tried top get the cast off but Tails wouldn't let her.
"My leg is broken Fiona." Tails protested.
"Not anymore he fixed it." Fiona tried again but Tails moved his leg away from her hand.
"How in the world could he have done that?"
Fiona held him down and cut the cast down the middle then split it open. Justin just sat back and watched snickering a bit.
"Hey I..." Tails stood up and didn't feel any pain.
"See?" Fiona smiled as Tails looked at his leg.
"Yeah." Fiona kissed him as he looked up at her.
Fiona's eyes were closed as she kissed him but Tails' eyes were wide open. Tails' eyelids began to get heavy and he let them close; his whole body started to tingle. Fiona felt a warm glow inside her grow making her have a need to kiss him. Tails broke the kiss and smiled at her.
"So you do like me." He said; Justin got up and left before anything else happened.
"I do... I really like you a lot." Fiona wrapped her arms around his neck.
Tails kissed her making her legs weak, he pulled her into a hug. He was smiling and blushing, Tails got back into the bed and Fiona crawled on top of him. Her cheeks were bright red, she had her head on his chest and could hear Tails' heartbeat. It got faster and faster; Fiona's heartbeat sped up too, meeting Tails' speed.
