A/n: No more short chapters I've got the hang of making long ones. More fun to write too. Yes I know the last chapter with the Scourge fight wasn't that good but I've actually got a good grasp on how to write them. So hopefully future ones will be presentable. Again sorry but I will get better I promise.
"Hey Rotor, you in here man? I need to ask you something."
"Sure Sonic. What do you need."
"Do we still have those cross dimensional cameras on Moebius?"
"Let me check."
Rotor began to type commands into his console in front of him at a speed to Sonic and any normal person seemed inhuman. "It seems we still do Sonic. Surprisingly the zone cops didn't take them down after we beat Scourge that one time."
Sonic rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Do we have any on Scourge's castle?"
"There's one, why?"
"You are to speak of this to no one but... Tails went into Moebius to go after Scourge with Fiona. I think she is leading Tails into a trap but Sally thinks the opposite on that thought. But I have a real bad feeling about the whole thing. That and I don't think Tails can take Scourge alone. So I want you to show me the footage on all the cameras in Scourge's castle and show me any that have Tails in them. Understood?"
"Yeah, sure Sonic. But why is Tails going traitor just to go after Scourge?"
"Um... I'm not sure if its really my place to tell you Rotor."
Rotor would have questioned further but a small blip began to blink on his monitor alerting him that the specific footage he wanted found had been. "Sonic this is what you wanted right... oh my."
"What is..."
Sonic and Rotor were both watching as Tails kicked open the door and murdered the guards on the other side. "Did Tails just... kill those guards?" Rotor muttered in utter disbelief.
"Yeah. Keep looking for footage on Tails I need to know if he's all right."
"Sure Sonic. But what happened to Tails to make him so murderously violent please tell me."
Sonic's halted his walk to the door and hesitated before turning his head to look back at Rotor. "Revenge Rotor. Revenge."
Back with Tails
'Okay. This is really getting annoying.' Tails was currently attempting to get up off of the ground but any weight at all on either his hand or his ankle would send a pain like a thousand knifes twisting and shoving their way to get to his bone forcing him to go back down.
'I must ask, why do you want to save that woman so bad? I know that you care about her but I do not know why you still do. I can see your memories and from them I see she betrayed you and everyone you held close, and humiliated you by slapping you across your tear soaked face. So I'm curious why?'
'It's hard to explain but, I still care about her because, the reason she betrayed everyone was because that bastard Scourge played on her insecurities about being a hero, and he used those insecurities to make it sound like she was a bad person at heart. That and because of her resemblance to Auto.'
'Who is Auto?'
'… Auto is an automaton of Fiona. I found her when I set off to prove myself to the freedom fighters that I wasn't some little kid that couldn't protect himself and she was the same age as me, a red fox that seemed as interested in me as I was to here and she was based off of Fiona when she was younger.'
'How does that automation set the floor in why you liked Fiona?'
'Because after I found out there was a real Fiona I was excited because I thought she was the same age as me just like the robot was supposed to be. So I thought that I could finally have someone my own age as a freedom fighter who I could talk to and maybe form some kind of romantic interest in after she was settled in. You can imagine how I felt after I found out she was as old as Sonic.'
'I got what I asked for I suppose... I will no longer force control over your mind anymore. If you truly need my assistance just ask and I MIGHT decide to help you. But if I get the chance to take control of your mind and get free I will not hesitate to take it.'
'Well that's... thanks Charles. That's actually pretty reassuring. Besides if I were to die, you die to correct?'
'Unfortunately that is correct. Now go and find your woman.'
'I can't go and find her if I can't walk.'
'Can't you fix yourself back up somehow?'
'Well there is one way but it could backfire.'
'What is it?'
'I could use my link the chaos force and use its properties to heal myself but...'
'But what?'
'I'm not in my home world and bringing it through a dimensional boundary into its polar opposite world could contaminate it and me. Anarchy energy is poisonous to anyone in my world in large doses and it doesn't take much either.'
'That woman is from your world right? If that's the case, then why is she not showing signs of that anarchy poisoning?'
Tails thought for a minute and found that Charles was right. Fiona had been in Moebius for years now and the time she had spent here is more than enough time to kill her. So why wasn't she dead?
'Charles you're actually on to something.'
'That doesn't matter, now hurry and heal yourself, find your girlfriend and get out of this place.'
'Fine and she's not my girlfriend.'
'Only if you do nothing about it.'
Tails sighed at Charles's antics and began to concentrate on his ever present link to the the chaos force. His eyes began to glow a soft emerald green and his hand also emitted a small green hue and he could feel the chaos energy placing the fragments of bone back in their places and mend his torn muscles. But he could not finish the job on the rest of his body because a searing agonizing pain that felt like someone had ripped his chest open, grabbed his heart, and set in on fire, forced him to stop and made him cough up blood viciously.
'How long do you have before the anarchy energy destroys your body?'
'A few days before...at worst...and at best...about a week.'
'Get moving.'
Now that Tails could walk again he attempted to run but found that put a little to much force on his ankle but didn't pay any attention to it. He looked in the castle's dungeon first. Finding people every two or three cells, he released them the quickest way he knew how. By ripping off the cell doors. One of them approached him.
"Sir, I can't thank you enough for saving me I know of one way to repay you-" Tails cut him off
"I don't want your rewards, but can you tell me if that green hedgehog brought a red fox, female around my height only one tail through this passage way?"
With this the man's face darkened slightly. "I hope she wasn't that important to you my friend. Because he probably took her where he takes all the new female prisoners, to his bedroom."
"I really wish I hadn't killed that motherfucker already. Where is the bedroom?"
"I'm pretty sure that the bedroom is on the top floor."
"Thanks, I'll be seeing you."
Tails turned to leave but before he could go the man placed a hand on his shoulder. "Excuse me, I know you said you don't want my thanks but I have to repay you somehow. I am a part of the resistance force dedicated to overthrowing that bastard on the throne, and I can get your friend the medical attention she would need after something like that. You can call me Jacob." In the light Tails could see that the man was a wolf.
Tails was silent for a bit before he started to lightly chuckle to himself. 'There's always resistance somewhere.' "Fine. Follow me."
Tails and Jacob then started to run towards the nearest staircase that could lead them to the room Fiona was located. After a while of running around the floors of Scourge's castle Tails ankle pain finally caught up to him, forcing him to stop.
"Whats wrong with you?" Jacob asked
"When I was fighting Scourge earlier I damaged my ankle and my hand. Just give me a minute." Tails said through gritted teeth.
"It shouldn't hurt that badly, unless you've been walking around on it for an hour."
That's exactly what I've been doing."
Before Jacob could belittle Tails they could hear and saw a door swing open with a body of one of Scourge's men fly through most likely unconscious.
"That could only be one person." But when Jacob turned his head, Tails was already in front of him on his way to the door.
"Try doing that again you limp dicked bastards! I didn't let your boss do it, so why would I let you!"
When Tails got to the door he could see Fiona fighting off a bunch of guards with four guards thrown around the room also unconscious and five still standing surrounding her. She looked much worse for wear than the last time he saw her. One of the shoulder straps for her shirt was torn along with random parts of her other clothing, and there a big gash on her head leaking a good amount of blood over her face and dripping down to the floor and she also looked totally exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open let alone stand.
"If you honestly think you can fight the last of us off you're insane lady! Lucky for you we like insane." One of the bigger guards said with a perverted grin.
"You're just lucky...Scourge tried first...or else you'd all...be...dead...by now." Fiona spat out at the guards with great effort.
"HEY! If you want any of her you're gonna have to go through me first."
The guards stopped their assault on Fiona and turned around to look at Tails's very angry expression, then laughed. "Buddy, you look worse than she does so don't try and be the hero. But if you want some of her, then after we-." The guard speaking was unable to finish because Fiona had run up and flipped over him and kicked him in the temple sending him straight to the floor unconscious.
"Don't let your guard down so easily you fucker!" After spitting in the guards face one of the other guards tried to kick her in the head. But Fiona jumped over him and using what little strength she had left planted her arms on his leg and using it as a second jump to land on the ground outside of the circle of guards next to Tails, panting like a dog.
"Hey Tails...thanks for showing up. Mind...taking over for me?"
"Sure. I got em'."
Tails vanished from the sight of the guards and grabbed two of the them by their head and smashed them together as hard as his injured hand would allow. Unsatisfied that the guards were still conscious he wrapped his tails around their throats and smashed their heads together again before dropping them. One of them decided it would be a good idea to give him a bear hug from behind, but all it got him was one of Tails's tails going though his stomach. The last remaining guard wasn't as stupid as his comrades and turned tail and booked it. Right into Jacob's fist.
Slumping down to the ground Fiona decided now was a good time to rest. "I guess it took you long enough to get here Tails. What was the hold up...and who's the schmuck?"
"I uh, got lost on the way here and his name is Jacob. What happened to you?"
"Well, what happened was after I got here Scourge tied me to a chair and made me watch an order Eclipse gave him all his men did was try to grope me but after I bit two different fingers off from two different people they left me alone, until Scourge made a big show of how I was his property then they started again." Tails held up a hand to stop her from continuing
"Listen Fiona, you need to keep your strength up you've been through hell. This guys from the resistance against Eclipse and for thanks for rescuing him and everyone in the dungeons he's going to take us to the resistance and gut us patched up, you especially."
"To be honest Tails, I didn't think you cared whether I lived or died after Scourge was killed."
"I did come off like that didn't I?"
"Yeah, but I guess you do care if I live or you wouldn't be here."
"Come on. Lets get out of this place."
"Lets go."
Fiona tried to stand but immediately sat back down after wards. "What's wrong Fiona? Why can't you stand?"
"I Don't know, but I'm really tired Tails, like really tired." Fiona's eyes were at this point almost too hard to keep open.
"Here Fiona I'll get you some help. Don't worry I'll carry you if I have to."
"You'll probably going to have to give me a lift, sorry."
"It's alright Fiona, remember I've done nothing but help people since I was a kid, and so did you."
Tails opted to carry Fiona on his back for he thought it would give her the rest he knew she would need. "Alright I've got Fiona, Jacob could you go on ahead and have them meet us halfway?"
"Sure the less traveling you two have to do the better."
"Got that right."
Jacob was then gone and Tails walked out of Scourge's castle, well more of limped but, he had finally done what he had only dreamed of since he was Thirteen, on that fateful day, he had avenged his parents but he wasn't done just yet. Now he had to make sure Fiona would make it and to kill the bastard who had them killed, Eclipse was next and Tails would make sure it was painful. If he wasn't killed before he got there.
