Time for another chapter of Westside Island goodness. Read and review please.
Chapter 5: Invasion
"Damn it Tails, what is the surprise already." Sonic said while being dragged along by the fox toward the beach. Tails had told him about some surprise he had at the beach and he made Sonic put a blindfold on before they got there. This made Sonic a little irritated. For one he hated being left in the dark about any particular subject and two, sometimes Tails would let go of Sonic's arm and the hedgehog would occasionally crash into a tree. However the hedgehog did love to be surprised.
"We're almost there Sonic. Don't worry." The little fox happily pulled the hedgehog toward the beach, completely anxious to see Sonic's reaction when he saw what he did to his plane. Tails and Sonic were now on the beach. Tails than let go of Sonic's arm and ran toward the plane, or rather walked since he was still healing from the effects of the fight he had earlier.
"Can I open my eyes now?" Sonic asked.
"Okay. You can open your eyes now." Tails shouted back. Sonic grabbed the blindfold and tore it off. His jaw immediately hit the sand when he saw his plane. It looked as good as new, no, better than new! It was no longer red. It had a nice shade of blue paint covering the whole thing. The soot that was once there had disappeared. And also it had the word 'Sonic' written on it with a two tails logo at its side. "So, do you like it?" Tails asked.
"...H-how...h-how..."
"How what Sonic." Tails looked confused.
"How did you do all this!" Sonic asked completely stunned. The hedgehog ran up to the biplane and jumped into the cockpit. "Amazing! You even cleaned the seats! Tails...you're incredible!"
"Well, it was pretty easy but it did take a lot of work." Tails said while rubbing the back of his head.
"I wonder if the engine works." Sonic sat down in the seat and jammed the keys, he found sitting at the side, into the engine socket and turned. The plane immediately started to purr and soon it was up and running fully. "Whoo Hooo! Now I finally have a way off this island." Sonic shouted. Tails' eyes widened when he heard that.
"What! You're leaving!" Tails said while running toward the hedgehog.
"Well of course. I can't stay here forever." Sonic said. That's when Tails began to cry. "Hey, hey. What's the matter?" Sonic asked.
"You can't leave me here Sonic! We're best friends remember."
"...I didn't say I was leaving you behind buddy." Tails' ears immediately perked up.
"Y-you mean..."
"Yup. You're gonna live with me." Sonic said while holding his arms up and waving them in the air. Suddenly, without warning, Tails jumped in the cockpit and tackled Sonic onto the seat of the plane and began hugging him tightly.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tails said repeatedly.
"...You're...welcome...could you...please loosen your grip...I need to be breath." Sonic said. Tails did what he was told but still continued hugging the hedgehog. After about a minute Tails lifted his head up.
"Sniff' Wow 'sniff' I can't believe I am actually going to have a home. This is the greatest day of my..." Tails started before he was hit hard over the head with a coconut. Sonic lifted his head up when he saw this happen.
"Tails are you alright?" Sonic asked.
"Uh...Sure Sonic...I...wow...pretty stars..." Tails' eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell backward and passed out. Sonic quickly caught him before he hit the back of the seat.
"All right, who threw that!" Sonic yelled as he looked around. He than heard some snickering coming from one direction behind a tree. Sonic was about to go after it but they came out of their hiding spot before he could move.
"That was a nice shot Silt." Hang Nail said while approaching the plane.
"Thanks, I had a lot of practice." Silt said before they all burst out in laughter.
"Hello!" Sonic shouted angrily. The three looked up and saw Sonic standing on the edge of the biplane while tapping his foot.
"Oh hey Mr. Hedgehog. We got the squirt for you." Slips said happily.
"Thanks but he wasn't bothering me!" Sonic said in an even angrier voice.
"What are you so mad about? We took care of the runt for you." Hang Nail asked. Sonic jumped from the cockpit to the ground to face them.
"I didn't want him taken care of. I was enjoying his company." Sonic reassured. The three bullies gasped in shock.
"B-but you're a world wide hero. You're not suppose to hang out with low lives like him." Hang Nail said pointing up at the unconscious fox.
"What exactly makes him a low life! Is it because you think he's a freak? Just because he has an extra tail makes him a freak! Hey here's an interesting fact, I'm a blue hedgehog. Does that mean I'm a freak too?" Sonic asked. The bullies stood there and were silent. "Get out of here before I get even more irritated." Sonic jumped back into the cockpit and picked up the coconut. The bullies stood there still shocked for a second but eventually turned to leave. Sonic turned and saw the bullies already leaving. "Hey! You forgot something!" Sonic tossed the coconut at Slips head and it hit directly. The monkey stood there for a second then passed out. Silt and Hang Nail looked down at the monkey completely surprised. Hang Nail than turned to look at the hedgehog angrily.
"Do what ever you want hedgehog! We don't care anymore. We're going to help set up the council meeting for tomorrow about who's going to be the new mayor. In the mean time you two freaks can leave the island! Good riddens to both of you!" Hang Nail shouted grittily.
"Why the hell are you still here! Leave now!" Sonic shouted back. Hang Nail hesitated for a second than leaned down to pick up Slips. He took another hard glance at the hedgehog before he and Silt walked off. Sonic watched them go for a minute and than sighed. He looked down at the still unconscious fox. A small bump was appearing on the spot where the coconut hit.
'What jerks. Tails doesn't deserve any of this. I'd be a crime to let him stay here. I bet that in a little while everyone here will be dead because of their foolishness." Sonic thought.
"...Ugh...wh-what happened." Tails mumbled as he started to stir. Tails opened his eyes up completely and sat up.
"Those bullies came and tossed a coconut at your head. You feeling alright buddy?" Sonic asked while rubbing the fox's head.
"Uh huh." Tails merely said.
"How can you put up with such ignorance? You've gone through this for two years right?"
"Yeah. It's because they think I'm a freak...hey Sonic...do you...uh..." the fox hesitated.
"Do I what?" Sonic raised a curious eyebrow.
"Do you...think of me...as a freak?" Tails said.
"...Of course not." Sonic reassured. He saw the fox turn to side and look down.
"It's okay if you do. I mean everyone else..." Tails started before Sonic grabbed both his shoulders and turned the fox's body so it was facing him directly. Tails than looked up to see Sonic's emerald green eyes staring into his own eyes with a look of complete seriousness.
"Tails, I'm not everyone else. Unlike everyone else on this island I actually have feelings. And besides I'm a blue hedgehog. That sort of makes me like you, but that doesn't mean I'm a freak. Nether are you." Sonic saw a tear come down the fox's face.
"Yeah but...you're a hero... and I'm a worthless..."
"Stop saying that you're worthless!" Sonic said raising his voice at the fox. A couple more tears flowed down the fox's face when Sonic began to shout.
"...'sigh' Look kid, I'm sorry I snapped at you but you've gotta stop being so negative. You've probably thought that you'd live your whole life poor, alone, shelter less, and hungry. Well guess what, you've just had a freshly made chilidog earlier, you have a best friend who actually cares about you, and as soon as we get home you will have a new shelter. Don't sell you're life short just because some dumbass people say it's a crime to be different."
"...You 'sniff' really think that I can be something more than just a two tailed freak." Tails said while trying to refrain from crying.
"I know you can buddy." Sonic said while patting the fox on the back. Tails smiled but still had tears rolling out of his eyes.
"Thanks." Tails said while wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Don't mention it." Sonic said proudly. He knew he was going to have to cut his vacation short for this kid but he knew it was worth it. After all it's not likely that you would meet up with a new room mate after only two days of being on vacation.
Meanwhile
"Damn it all! That idiot lizard makes me so mad. I need that emerald! The only way I'm going to get it though, is if I try robbing him again tomorrow. He's probably bumped up security since than but than again who doesn't like a challenge?" Rouge said while sitting alone in a tree. She had been pondering from some time now why Jell would be in a boring and unexciting place like this. He used to be so daring and attractive. Now he was so careful and lame. Rouge slowly noticed he was changing while they were dating and eventually dumped him. She thought it was for the best but Jell didn't take it so well. She hasn't seen or heard from him until she got to this island.
"Ribbit." said an unknown voice. Rouge's ears perked up and she looked below to see a frog sitting on top of someone's head.
"Ahhh! What the...Hey mister, do you know you've got a frog on your head?" Rouge shouted toward him.
"Yup." Said the purple cat with the frog sitting on his head.
"...What's your name?"
"Big." He answered.
"Big?" Rouge said confused. That was his real name? She processed this for a little while then noticed he had a fishing rod with him.
'A fishing rod? Hey, I could use that to my advantage in my heist tomorrow.' Rouge thought. "Hey Big." Rouge said.
"Yeah."
"That's a nice rod you've got there. I was wondering if you and you're big boned body could help me with something." Rouge smirked. Big looked up at her confused.
That Night
Bokkun flew rapidly around the capsule that the still unconfirmed metal figure was suppose to be in and started to panic. Just than Dr. Eggman walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Well everything is ready to go...Bokkun, are you alright?" Eggman asked noticing he was flying around the room looking quite scared.
"Metal is gone." Bokkun said finally stopping.
"What?" Eggman asked not believing what he heard.
"He said he was going out to prove that he could get the job done and he left just like that." Bokkun explained.
"...Well than don't worry."
"Huh?"
"Will just wait and see what happens next."
Down at the open field
Tails sat alone and looked up at the stars and the moon. He left the cockpit and told Sonic he'd be back in 10 minutes. Sonic said if he wasn't back in ten minutes he'd come looking for him. Tails thought that was a bit rash but he agreed to it never the less. Tails was keeping the time in his head and knew he had about 45 seconds left. The fox got up and looked around the vast open field. This place was the only place he could go to get away from all the stress he felt on the island. He didn't want to say goodbye to it but he knew he couldn't take the whole field with him. Tails sighed than turned to head back to the ship. All of a sudden he heard a huge foot stomp against the ground. Tails turned to see who it was.
"Sonic is that you?" Tails asked the figure. The metal figure didn't say anything. Instead he approached the fox slowly. Tails all of a sudden had a weird and uneasy feeling. He slowly began to back up as the figure moved closer. Soon Tails tripped over a rock and fell on the grass.
"S-Sonic. P-please stop...you're scaring me." Tails said in a shaky voice. The figure kept stepping closer and closer until he was standing directly in front of Tails. The fox looked up into those red eyes the figure had and was completely freaked out now.
"Y-you're not Sonic." Tails said in fear. The figure sure did look like Sonic however. "W-what are you gonna do?" Tails asked. The figure said nothing at first but than surprisingly launched a huge fist at the fox. "Please don't...!" Began Tails.
Meanwhile
Sonic sat alone in the plane's cockpit. He thought about everything the little fox was capable of. He had great speed and agility, he was a great mechanic, he had an extensive vocabulary, and he had the power to fly. Sonic could barely believe that he was only 4.
"He might even surpass me one day." Sonic said quietly to himself. He was about to go check up on the fox when he heard a huge scream come from the forest. Sonic turned to look. He recognized that voice. He knew it had to be...
Sonic immediately jumped out of the cockpit and landed square on the beach. He than proceeded to run as fast as he could toward the area where he heard the scream.
'Please. Please let him be alright." Sonic came closer and closer to the area the scream came from. The hedgehog looked left and right but there was no sign of him. He than came to an open field. He immediately stopped. He couldn't believe what he saw. Someone that was Sonic's same height and color stood there clutching Tails by the neck. Sonic stood there stunned before he quickly realized he had to save his friend. "Hey you! Let him go!' Sonic shouted. The figure looked up to see the blue hedgehog standing there. The figure quickly let the struggling fox go and turned to run away. Sonic didn't bother to go after him, he was too concerned for his friend. The hedgehog ran up to the fox and kneeled down to face him. "Tails are you alright?" Sonic asked while rubbing him gently.
"Sonic...is that you?" Tails said in a voice that clearly showed he was still struggling for some air. Sonic held the little fox's head up and looked at his neck. He saw that Tails' neck area was completely red. Whoever he was, he had a hard grip.
"Yes it's me buddy. Come on, lets get you some water." Sonic picked the fox up and carried him toward the restaurant. He sure hoped the fox was going to be alright.
The next day
The sun had rose a few hours ago and Rouge was ready to carry out her plan. She never did a daytime job before but shrugged at the topic thinking 'There is a first time for everything.' Knowing this would be an extremely easy task she was able to awaken Big and Froggy and get them to come with her to the jewelry store before 9:00. The three approached the store and walked in casually. The plan was for Rouge and Big to walk in then Big would let froggy lose in the store. While Jell was busy with froggy, Big and Rouge would go to the huge room where the chaos emerald was locked up. Rouge would than use her code breaking skills to type the scanner's password in order to open the door to the room. She would then get Big to use his fishing rod to catch the emerald through the security beams that were most likely located there. It wasn't the stealthiest plan but it should be able to work. So long as nothing goes wrong.
At the beach
Sonic had just awakened to see the sun in his eyes. The hedgehog turned away fast to look in a different direction. He watched the forest and the sky that overlooked it. There were a lot of grey clouds in the sky and the air was nice and cool. The hedgehog saw that the sunlight was disappearing as the clouds began to form. They weren't dark enough for it to rain however, maybe a slight drizzle though. Sonic stood up and stretched than yawned. He and Tails were going to leave this horrible place today. That's when it hit Sonic. Tails wasn't in the cockpit...again.
"Oh great! Now where'd he go." Sonic complained while heading out to the forest.
At the top of a cliff overlooking the town (Not the ocean)
Tails sat there and watched the town. Everyone was just now waking up to go to the council meeting where the new mayor would be elected. Tails' sighed and smiled.
"Knowing this place it's probably going to be someone mean. It's a good thing me and Sonic are leaving today." Tails said looking up at the clouds. That was when he heard a familiar footstep into the ground. Tails felt like his heart stopped when he heard it. The fox knew that sound. He turned his head hesitantly to see who it was. "Ahhhh! It's you! What do you want with me!" Tails shouted backing up. He continued to back up until felt his foot step off the edge of the cliff. Tails pulled it back up and looked down. It wasn't a very long fall but it would still hurt. Tails than turned back to face the metal figure. Tails looked back at the cliff than at the metal creature again.
"This won't take long. Hold still and this will be quick." The figure began walking up to the fox slowly. Tails was apparently so scared that he forgot he could fly. By the time he realized that, it was too late. The Metal figure had him in his clutches again.
"W-who are you?" Tails asked in a struggling voice.
"I am Metal Sonic!" he answered as his red eyes began to glow.
"That explains a lot!" Sonic shouted from behind. Metal Sonic turned to look behind him and saw the blue hedgehog standing there with his legs spread. "I bet you were that thing inside the capsule I destroyed long ago. I wonder how you survived." Sonic asked as if Tails wasn't being choked. Tails looked at Sonic wondering why he wouldn't help him already. Metal sonic turned to look at the fox he held in his hand than began to speak to Sonic.
"So you're the famous Sonic the hedgehog Doctor Eggman told me about. He said he based his design of me on you." Metal Sonic said not realizing Sonic was no longer there. He than saw a blue blur appear around his hand and then the fox was gone as well. "What! Where'd he go?" Metal looked around and saw nothing.
"Up here!" Sonic yelled as he fell from the sky toward Metal's head. He hit him directly and landed fast on his feet. The hedgehog than stood up to go speak with Tails, who was laying at the side, but was meet with a kick to his back. Sonic fell over but than front flipped and turned his body so it was facing Metal Sonic. The angry robot launched himself at Sonic, as did Sonic himself and they both collided hands. Sonic tried holding the robot back but it seems he was too strong. Metal sonic was slowly pushing Sonic backward while Sonic was accomplishing nothing.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled as he got up and headed toward the hedgehog.
"Go warn the town Tails!" Sonic said in a struggling voice. Tails stopped and stared in confusion at the hedgehog.
"What? I can't do that." Tails said.
"You have to. If one of Eggman's robots are here there are bound to be thousands more. He's probably planning an invasion. You have to tell everyone to evacuate now!" Sonic shouted as he began to sweat. Tails looked shocked now. He knew there was no way to get any of them to listen to him. He still had to try however, that's what Sonic wants.
"...Okay Sonic." Tails said in a courageous voice. The fox turned to run down the cliff and immediately spun his tails in order to get more speed. He rushed toward the area where the council was being held, hoping he'd get there in time.
"Good luck Tails." Sonic said before he felt a huge kick in his stomach. The hedgehog trailed back at the enormous amount of pain that kick caused. Before Sonic could pull himself together a red laser was shot at him. Sonic quickly dodged only to get in the way of another laser. Sonic was soon jumping backward while avoiding lasers from left to right rapidly. Than, without warning, Metal sonic ran up to the hedgehog and gave him a huge forceful punch in the stomach that sent him upward. Metal Sonic quickly jumped up and began punching the hedgehog in the stomach multiple times which made him go even more upward. Metal than used his jet back to fly over the hedgehog and use both hands to whack him back to the land. Sonic hit the ground hard while Metal landed gracefully. "Man, this guy is tough." Sonic said struggling to his feet. That's when he heard the familiar sound of an airship engine. Sonic looked up and saw nothing but knew it was there. It was Eggman's Air fortress.
The same time
"Welcome everyone! Ladies, gentlemen, and kids of all ages. It is now time that we elect a new mayor!" A walrus in a black suit said while on stage. Everyone present clapped their hands except for Tails, who was forcefully trying to fight his way through the crowd. When this didn't work, he spun his tails and took flight. He then zoomed over the stage and landed in front of the walrus. "Hey! Get out of the way!" the walrus said reaching at Tails. Tails moved out of the way which caused the walrus to trip and fall off stage. Tails than grabbed the microphone the walrus dropped.
"Hey get off the stage!" Shouted a kid who looked about 8 years old.
"Yeah we wanted to here what the walrus wanted to say Two tail!" Shouted another kid about 12 years old. The adults that were there also began throwing comments at the fox as well. Soon everyone began to yell and throw things at the now frightened two tailed fox.
"Bring back the walrus guy!" Shouted Hang Nail as he threw another coconut at Tails. It was a little off balance so when it actually hit Tails all he did was trail back. The fox than regained his control and began to shout into the microphone.
It was time to stand up to these people.
"Shut Up! You need to evacuate now!" Tails shouted. Everyone almost immediately went silent. "You all need to escape! Some guy named Dr. Eggman is attacking our island!" Tails shouted. Every stood there for a second then they all burst out laughing at him.
"Dr Eggman! Yeah right!" Said a middle aged woman.
"It's true! If you all don't leave, Dr. Eggman's gonna kill you all with his robots, like the one that Sonic is fighting right now!" Tails shouted again. Everyone continued to laugh. Even the babies started to giggle for no apparent reason.
That's when they all heard a weird sound of a loud grinding engine. They all went quiet when they heard it. Soon the whole area was covered by a huge shadow. It was too late to leave now. Everyone looked up and watched as Eggman's aircraft now became visible. The whole crowd of people, including Hang Nail and the other two bullies, watched as the bottom of the craft slowly began to open. As soon as it was open all the way the action seemed to stop. They all watched for a minute expecting something to happen. That was when silver full bodied robots came falling from the sky, from the inside of the open hatch of the ship. They all landed on the ground and surrounded the now scared crowd of people. Tails heard a huge clamp sound come from behind him. Tails turned quickly to see a silver robot standing behind him. It pointed a hug laser at the terrified fox and began to shoot. Tails however jumped over the robot and it began to shoot at the crowd. The robot shot and killed a middle aged woman and an 8 year old boy. The other robots saw this as a signal to attack so they began charging up their guns.
"Hold it!" shouted a voice from above. Everyone looked up and saw that a hovering platform with an unidentifiable figure was coming down toward them. The platform landed and the figure stood up. "Why hello inhabitants of Westside Island. I'm Dr. Eggman! The one who will be killing you all today. Robots, I'm giving you all permission to kill and destroy anything in you're path. Now than, ATTACK!" Eggman said pointing forward. Everyone began to scream and run around in circles. This made it a lot easier for the robots however. They soon began to shoot everyone they saw. Men, woman, and children were getting killed by the second. Many were still sane enough to make it too the forest though. This didn't help however. Thousands more robots began flooding from the sky again and began shooting all over the place. They destroyed buildings and engulfed many forest areas in flames. The smoke began to fly to the sky as well as the embers. The smoke and embers made their way around the huge air craft in the sky and merged with the sky. This quickly began to turn the once light blue sky bright red and orange. Eggman then turned on his communicator in order to speak with Bokkun.
"Bokkun, can you read me?" He asked.
"Loud and clear Doctor." Bokkun said from inside the ship.
"Good, I want you to shoot missiles in all random directions all over the island. I'm going to make it rain missiles and robots until the island is completely obliterated." Eggman explained.
"Okay!" Bokkun said while proceeding to press the buttons. Eggman than turned off his communicator completely satisfied with the way things were going. He got back on his hovercraft and flew back to the ship.
Meanwhile
"There it is! I see the emerald!" Rouge said while running up to the glass case. Big and froggy were now joining her as well. It turns out they didn't need to distract Jell with Froggy because he was sleeping. With that Rouge lifted the glass case than balled it up in her hand and through it behind her.
"His glass case is made of see through paper. Ha! He's so cheap he can't even afford good security. I still can't believe his password was "Da lizard man rocks!" either." Rouge said as Big lowered his fishing poll over the security beams the see through paper case used to be surrounding.
"Miss Rouge? Are you sure this is okay?" Big asked while hooking on a sharp end of the emerald.
"Of course. Now be careful. Wouldn't want that security beam to...hey what's that frog of yours doing!" Rouge shouted as she saw froggy happily jump off Big's head and land in the security beams. Big and Rouge both flinched than realized that nothing happened. Rouge looked amazed for a second than she put her hand through the beams. "Wait a minute! These are disco lights! That cheap bitch!" Rouge shouted.
"Why thank you Rouge." Jell said from across the room. Rouge and big both turned to see Jell standing there with a sense of victory on his face. He than suddenly ran up to the pedestal, grabbed the emerald than ran behind the both of them.
"Give me the emerald Jell. You're putting yourself at huge risk here." Rouge said holding out her hand.
"No! It's mine. And besides if it is dangerous than why aren't you falling for me again." Jell asked.
"Huh?" Rouge was confused.
"You said you dumped me because I was being a lot more careful on our heists together. Well, now that I have this so called dangerous emerald I can prove to you that I am worthy of being you're boyfriend again."
"Jell...look...I like people who are risk takers, that's true but not someone who is incredibly stupid! Dangerous people want to get their hands on that emerald. I'm trying to protect you!"
"Shut up! Do you have any idea what I've been through since you left me? You put me through a whole lot of crap you know! It took me everything I had to try and find a safe place to hide from the cops when I went solo. Now that I have this emerald I'm never giving it up! Ever!" Jell shouted right before the walls were blasted through. Smoke began to fill the room and robots with their lasers extended began to walk in.
"Jell! They want the emerald! Quickly toss it over here!" Rouge shouted.
"No way!"
"Jell, don't be an idiot!"
"I'm going to make you love me again if it's the last thing I..." Jell started before he was blasted by a huge laser. The laser went through his stomach and shot the rest of his body against the wall. Rouge gasped and immediately ran over to him.
"Jell?" Rouge kneeled down at him.
"...I don't get it...I was so careful..." Jell said in a silent and struggling voice before his head rolled to the side and he died off. Rouge stared at the corpse for a second than grabbed the emerald.
"Sometimes being careful isn't the smart thing to do." Rouge said as she dodged up coming lasers. The lasers ended up hitting Jell's corpse. Rouge than landed in front of Big and Froggy. "Lets go Big." Rouge and Big began to run out of the room and headed for the door.
Back at the forest
Slips backed into a tree as three robots were now enclosing on him. He didn't know what to do and for some reason didn't care what he did. As long as he came out of this alive. Tails hovered over the area where Slips was. He looked down and saw the monkey being cornered.
"Is that Slips? Aw man, what do I do?" Tails said. 'Nothing, I will do nothing. He picked on me. But...he doesn't deserve to die for that. Wait a minute, yes he does! All bullies deserve to die! No, No don't think like that! He may be a bully but..." Tails was having a huge conflict in his mind about whether to save him or not. He soon made up his mind when he saw the robots extended their cannons at the monkey. Tails immediately swooped down and grabbed the monkey than carried him behind the robots and set him down. the robots ended up shooting a tree.
"Are you alright?" Tails asked. Slips said nothing then surprisingly pushed him to the ground.
"Don't touch me freak!" He said.
"Hey! I just saved your life! Tails complained.
"So! You're still a freak!" Slips folded his arms. Tails was about to get up when he saw Slips get hit with a laser from behind. The laser burst through his stomach and hit one of the robots that Tails had rescued Slips from.
"Oh no!" Tails shouted getting up. Slips stood there with blank look in his eyes before he toppled over and died. Tails looked forward at the robot who killed him and watched as he extended his laser at him. The fox thought quickly and jumped over the robot before he fired and landed behind him
"I gotta find Sonic." Tails said as he began to run. He turned a corner in the forest and crashed into someone. He fell to the ground and saw Silt standing there. "Silt? What are you doing?" Tails asked. Tails got off the ground and stood up to face her.
"I'm looking for Hang Nail. I saw him fighting a couple of robots and then I saw a missile come down and explode at the area he was fighting at. I think he nmight be dead." Silt said in a worried voice. Just than they both heard robot footsteps coming close to them. Silt looked all over the place for something to fight with but all she saw was a fallen tree branch. She picked it up and held it in a defense position. "You'd better get out of here fox boy." she said. This statement shocked Tails. Why would she care if Tails got away or not?
"What?" Tails asked in a surprised tone.
"...Listen kid, I've got a confession to make. I never really hated you as much as Hang Nail and Slips thought I did. However I did think you were a freak." Silt admitted. Tails had a even more surprised look on his face. "I actually...thought you were pretty cute...for a 4 year old fox boy." Silt said noticing the robots had just rounded the corner.
"..." Tails was speechless. He didn't know what to say. Unfortunately he didn't have the time. The robots were here now. Tails turned to run but before he could get away Silt grabbed his arm, turned him around, than kissed him on the cheek. Tails immediately blushed but still had a confused look on his face. He stood there for about a minute in complete shock before he shook his head awake when a laser blasted past him. He immediately turned and ran. Silt watched him go than turned her attention back to the robots.
"Come and get me!" she said running up to them. She jumped than attacked with the stick. It immediately broke on contact. The robot she attacked than grabbed her arm and flung her at a tree hard. She looked up and saw the robots charging up their lasers. "What...No. No!" She said in disbelief as they fired and killed her.
Back on the cliff
Sonic was getting beat up hard by Metal Sonic. Sonic fell to the ground multiple times but always was able to get up. He had an incredibly strong will after all. However this strong will of his was soon drained. Eventually Metal hit him so hard he fell to the ground and didn't get up. The robot stared at the motionless hedgehog and looked over the edge of the cliff. There he saw his target running toward Sonic's biplane. The two tailed fox was the one he was really after, not some hyper active hedgehog. Metal quickly used his jet back to fly off the cliff toward his target. Sonic justy layed there and saw Metal Sonic leave.
"He's after Tails...I've got to help him." Sonic struggled to his feet painfully then ran after Metal. Back in the forest Tails was almost on his way back to the biplane. He thought he was home free when he reached the beach. However, that wasn't the case. Before Tails could get to the biplane Metal Sonic dived in front of the fox's path, which scared the hell out of him.
"My mission will not be complete until your dead!" Metal Sonic said charging his cannon. Tails was shocked to see him come down so fast he had no counter move. Just as he thought he was going to die, a blue sphere collided with Metal and knocked him to the ground.
"No one hurts my pal." Sonic said rolling out of the ball form.
"Sonic!" Tails shouted happily.
"Come on buddy. Lets go!" Sonic and Tails both ran toward the blue biplane and hopped in. Without anytime to waste they started up the engine and soon took off into the bright red and orange sky. Metal scrambled to his feet and unwantingly watched as they flew over the sea toward the direction Sonic came from originally. Tails looked back at the island. It was on fire, many people were being killed, and there were random explosions everywhere. He thought for a minute as he watched this scene.
"Its a drawing of what my life was like before I met Sonic." Tails mumbled as they rode away from the island.
