Authors note: As the chapter name suggests Tails will learn how to fight. Yeah I know he has an I.Q of 300. But he's never fired a gun. Or tossed a grenade. Or learned hand to hand combat. Anyways back to the story.

Blue base, 5 hours after Doc operates on Tails.

Tails woke up feeling numb where he got shot. But felt no pain, he looked down and there was only a scar. He thought to himself 'i will have to thank that medic when I see him.' He then realized that he wasn't alone. He looked to his left and Tex sat there with her helmet off and head in her hands... She was crying. She didn't know that Tails was awake and said out loud "I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I couldn't save you." Tails said "hey don't cry it's not your fault." Tex looked up at him and yelled "BUT IT IS MY FAULT YOU LOST 35% OF BLOOD. I WAS TOO LATE!" Tails told her to get a hold of herself and Tex just left the room. Tails got up and walked out of the spare room of the base that he was in. Church, Tucker, and Caboose were in the kitchen eating bagels. Tails noticed that Simmons went back to red base. Tails made his precense known and Tucker ran up to him and hugged him and said "your alive!" Church gave Tails a pat on the back and a congratulations on not dying and Caboose flashed him a thumbs up. "Where's Doc?" Tails asked. Church swallowed his food then said "Outside the base." Tails thanked him and walked out. He saw Doc, his back was to Tails, so he didn't see him run up to him. Tails then hugged Doc and said through tears "thank you so much for saving me!" Doc turned around and got down to his level and said "no problem little guy." Doc then got up and watched Tails go back inside the base. 'Such a little fox' thought Doc.

Inside Blue base, current time. Tails flew using his tails once he got back inside the base. Everyone had their mouths gaping, even Tex. Tucker said "dude, your awesome." Then Church got serious and said "Tails come with me." Tails obeyd and followed Church onto the ramp that led to the top of the base. Church said to Tails "if your in a war zone, you gotta know how to shoot he then grabbed a magnum and showed Tails how to cock the gun, reload it, load it, and shoot it. Church told Tails to aim for a rock that was 32 feet away. Tails shot all 6 rounds and they all hit the rock dead center. "Wow your good at this." Said Church. "Now let's try the Sniper rifle." Church said. Tails aimed and blasted the rock to bits after 4 shots. "Gee, it's heavy." Tails commented about the sniper rifle. Church just shrugged and said "you get used to it." Church and Tails went back inside and Tucker took Tails outside of the base. Tucker had a round object that was about the size of a baseball in his hand. "What's that?" Asked Tails. "It's a grenade, it causes a small to medium explosion." Said Tucker. Authors note: I don't know if you squeez the handle, then pull the pin. Or if you pull the pin, then Squeeze the handle on a grenade. Tell me if I did it wrong. Tucker squeezed the handle, then pulled the pin on a frag and threw it, it caused a mild explosion. "You only have 5 seconds until it detonates, so you better throw it before time runs out" said Tucker. Tails nodded and did the same procedure and threw the grenade. "Let's try a differant grenade." Said Tucker. He grabbed a blue, round object that was about the size of a golf ball and told Tails. "To prime this one you have to squeeze it then throw it." "Bow chicka bow wow" said Tails. Tucker thinly smiled inside his helmet. "Also if you throw this grenade on an object or person it will stick to that object or person." Said Tucker. Tails tried the plasma grenade out and this one had a bigger explosion radius then a frag. "We call it the sticky grenade" said Tucker. Tails said "bow chicka wow wow." Again. Tucker laughed at this. They both went back inside and Tex took him to an empty big spaced area of the canyon. Once they got there, she said to Tails, "if your ever in a situation where you have no weapon then your forced to use hand-to-hand combat. I will teach you how to disarm someone, deliver a one hit kill, and basic combat techniques." "Let's try disarming." Said Tails. Tex agreed and took out a training pistol and said "try to disarm me". Tails then charged. Authors note: wow almost 200 views! Thanks for reading. Review as always. And follow this story to get updates on new chapters. Have a nice day :)
