Trouble On Take Off
"Ha ha…smooth sailing from here on out." Morris placing his feet on the top of the pile of bags filled with jewels.
"HEY, get your fealty shoes off those and shut up so I can concentrate on flying."
"SORRY!" Morris said sarcastically. "You got anything to drink on this pieces of junk." He got up to look. "So what's the first thing your gonna do wi…" He was interrupted by a flying tray hitting his face. "What the?!" He checks his face for blood. "You! I though we killed you and that bratty little girl back at the ware house."
"You thought wrong!" Tails said staring eye to eye with Morris.
"I guess now I get to kill you with my own bare hands."
Morris lunged toward Tails with his fist ready to strike. Tails nearly ducked under Morris's punch and tripped him from behind.
"That all you got!?"
"Why…you little!" Morris punched up hitting Tails right in the jaw.
Tails, underestimating Morris's strength, flew back into Claire who panicked and lost control of the plane. The plane went up, sending Tails and Morris towards the back of the plane, until Claire regained control. "Morris, finish him fast so I can fly this thing."
Morris jumped up a few seconds before Tails and delivered a kick into Tails stomach. Tails fell to the floor in pain.
"GET UP! PUT UP A FIGHT!" Morris grabbed Tails by his legs and threw him up against the wall. "WHERE'S YOUR FRIENDS NOW?" Tails looked to his side and found the tray he had used earlier. He grabbed it and tried to slam it into Morris's face, but Morris caught it mid swing. " That's not going to work this time."
"But this will!" Tails placed his foot straight into Morris's gut, dropping him to his knees. Morris tried to stand back up when out of nowhere Tails tackles him to the ground and starts unleashing havoc on him. Morris, in a rage, throws Tails to his side. "You…You actually made me bleed" He looks at his hands to find them covered in a crimson liquid. He picks Tails up by his throat and pins him against a wall. "I…didn't…think you… had it…in you." He said with a smile as he tightened his grip. "Any last words?" Tails looked up at him. "I hope you can fly!" Tails spit in Morris's eyes making him loosen his death grip. He pushed Morris into the emergency exit as Morris threw a straight punch sending Tails against the wall again. Tails looked up with a smile on his face. Morris then looked down to realize that the latch to open the door is unlocked. He looks back at Tails only to see him running toward him. Tails jumps to grab on to a metal pole above and swing kicks Morris into and out the door creating a vacuum inside the plane. Claire too is pulled out of her seat but grabs hold of the chair behind her to keep her safe.
Tails looks at her and knows he has to save her. "IT DOESN'T HAVE TO END THIS WAY!" He shouts hoping to change her mind, but to his surprise she is too occupied watching her jewels. He sees the bags start to move toward the open door. Tails realizes what she plans to do. "STOP! DON'T DO IT!" But its too late, the bags fly out the door and Claire jumps after them. He knows there is nothing else he can do so he starts to slowly make his way up to the cockpit. He miraculously makes it and straps himself to the chair. To his amazement he sees Claire through the window flying in front of the plane with one bag of jewels in tow. Tails tries to get control of the plane, but just as he gets it steady a row of chairs fly out the door and into the turbine causing it to spark a flame and fail.
On the ground Sonic and Benny watch in horror as they see the plane catch fire.
"Come on Tails. I know you can do it." Sonic whispered.
Benny, having been proven wrong before by Tails had no other choice but to agree with Sonic.
Meanwhile on the plane Tails had given up hope of landing the plane safely. He knew there was only one way this plane was going down, crash landing. But where? He knew he couldn't put innocent people in harms way. He knew there was a large valley on the other side of town, but could the plane make it that far? There was only one way of finding out.
"Sonic, Why is the plane turning around?"
" I don't know. Here grab on. we have to follow it. Your sister will be safe here."
Sonic chased the plane all the way to the other side to town watching it lose altitude. He stopped and waited.
"HERE WE GO!" Tails yelled bracing himself for impact. The plane went down hard as it scraped the earth. Sonic and Benny watched as the plane soon became a huge ball of fire.
"Benny, stay here I'll be back." Sonic ran towards the plane. He felt the air get hotter as he approached the crash site. He stepped inside the door less entrance and searched for Tails. The smoke was blinding and Sonics eyes were stinging. As he felt his way through he touch a patch of fur. He knew he had found Tails, he unbuckled Tails and carried him away from the heart of the fire. Tails could feel he was being moved but waited until he had stopped to open his eyes. He saw a glimpse of two shadows standing over him and then he blacked out.
"Tails?…Tails are you awake?" Tails knew recognized the voice "Sonic?"
"Hey, finally awake?" Sonic said smiling. "Don't worry. Your in a hospital."
"How long was I out?"
"A few months"
"WHAT!"
Jessie turned and punched Benny. "Don't believe him. You were out for about a day."
"I guess I needed the rest huh" Tails said jokingly.
"Oh my god…Tails! Are you okay?" Shouted a voice. Tails had knew who the voice belonged to but was too afraid to turn and look. "Sonic told me what happened! I came down here in a rush to make sure you were okay!" He closed his eyes and slowly turned in its direction. "Amy?"
"Yeeea…I had to tell her. She's a friend." Sonic said trying to make an excuse.
"How do I look?" Tails asked sarcastically
"A lot better that when I found you." Sonic answered. " You were bruised, bloody, and I'm pretty sure you broke your arm."
"Well that explains a lot" Tails laughed looking down at his new cast. "What about you two?" He turned toward Jessie and Benny.
"What do you mean?"
"Your warehouse burnt down…you have nowhere to live."
"Tails…about that."
Tails looked at Sonic curiously.
"I talked to Amy and…she gave them her house."
"Yea…I was going to sell it anyway." Amy added.
"That's great! So Amy. Where are you moving to?" Tails asked
"Sonic! You haven't told him!?"
"Told me what?"
"Um…well…(sigh) Tails. Amy and I thought it would be a good idea if she…"
"If she what?"
"Amy's moving in with us."
"WHAT!?" Tails sat up in shock for a few moments before fainting.
" Look he cant believe it either" Amy said happily.
"Tails…are you okay? Tails?"
