Sonic-X: The Missing X-Tornado: THE REWRITE!
Chapter 15: The Ultimate Test Flight.
Authors Notes: Hey Everyone. SuperTailsFan0812 checking in back with chapter 15 of Sonic-X: The Missing X-Tornado: THE REWRITE!
This chapter is the part when Tails goes on his test flight.
I apologize that I haven't been active lately, I still have a bad cold and I hope it will go away soon. And also it is very very hot where i live and it is hard to write when it's very very hot.
This chapter is one of the few chapters that I wrote well.
Anyways. I don't want to spoil the chapter. Here is chapter 15.
Disclaimer: I Don't own Sonic, Sonic X and it's characters. SEGA and 4kids TV do.
Chapter 15: The Ultimate Test Flight.
Chris smiled and asked, "Hey Tails, do you want to take it for a test flight?" He asked.
Tails smiled in delight at this. "You bet Chris." Tails confirmed in glee. "Do you want to come too, Chris?"
Chris nodded. "Sure Tails," Chris responded.
Chuck got out a remote and pressed it, causing the lab to rise to the runway.
Chuck handed Chris a headset so he could communicate with Tails. "Here Chris. With this headset, you can communicate with Tails and tell him what we added to the new X-Tornado." Chuck said.
Chris nodded and accepted the headset. "You got it, Grandpa. I'll be sure to tell Tails everything that the X-Tornado has." Chris affirmed.
Chuck walked up to Tails and knelt down to his level and gently spoke. "Have fun Tails. Chris will be communicating with you so he can tell you what the new Tornado has." Chuck explained.
Tails nodded and smiled. "Roger that Chuck." Tails nodded.
Chris hopped in the passenger seat while Tails hopped in the pilot's seat. Tails closed the cockpit and started the engine causing it to roar, startling him.
Tails turned to face Chris. "Have you buckled up Chris?" He asked in concern, buckling his safety harness.
Chris nodded as he buckled up in his safety harness. "Yes, Tails." He confirmed.
Tails then slowly turned the X-Tornado so it was facing the runway.
Tails smiled as the X-Tornado was so smooth at turning. Tails slowly moved the X-Tornado on the runway and pressed a button on the dashboard which extended the upper wings into an X shape.
"X-Tornado, Take off!" Tails yelled as he tilted back the control stick and the X-Tornado blasted down the runway faster than Tails had anticipated causing him to let out a yelp of fright.
Tails felt they were lifting off the ground and tilted back the controls again and the X-Tornado soared higher into the air. Tails pressed a button and the landing gear retreated in the plane and the two lower wings extended.
Chris could tell Tails didn't anticipate the X-Tornado to be that fast. "Are you okay Tails?" Chris asked.
Tails panted as his heart slowed down a bit. "Y-Yeah, i-i think so. I just didn't expect the X-Tornado to be that fast when we took off." Tails replied, fully calming down now.
"Sorry, I didn't tell you Tails. When we were working on it yesterday, we updated the take-off boosters so they can be twice as fast." Chris explained.
Tails nodded in response. "Thanks, Chris. I'm going to test the turning, so hold on tight." Tails informed.
Tails then turned the left stick to the left causing the plane to smoothly turn left. Tails smiled.
"The X-Tornado has the very smooth and great turning, Chris." Tails said.
Chris smiled. "Grandpa specially upgraded the turning for you Tails," Chris told the smiling fox.
Tails then turned the right joystick to the right causing the plane to turn to the right.
Tails smiled again. Tails decided to try something.
Tails then looked back at Chris. "I'm going to accelerate to full speed, try and perform some techniques and then try maximum speed." Tails told.
Tails took a deep breath and pushed the control stick halfway, causing the X-Tornado to soar across the sky with fast speeds. Tails yelled in fright as he decreased the X-Tornado's speed a little.
Tails decided to try again, he then pushed the controls a little harder and the X-Tornado travelled a little faster across the sky.
Tails finally chose to slow down to normal speed and pulled the controls towards him. The X-Tornado slowed down to normal speed.
Tails looked back at Chris. "You okay back there Chris?" Tails asked.
"Yes, I'm okay Tails," Chris answered.
Tails chose to try and perform some maneuvers to see how well the X-Tornado handed them.
The X-Tornado performed turns, twists and loop-dee-loops very well which made Tails grin.
"Hold on Chris. I'm accelerating to maximum speed!" Tails said as he launched the X-Tornado to its maximum speed with a firm push on the control stick.
The boosters exploded to life as the X-Tornado blasted in the sky at tremendous speeds causing Tails to shriek in fright. Tails tugged the controls towards him to slow down again.
The X-Tornado decreased to normal speed. Tails started to breathe hard as he placed his hand over his heart, trying to catch his breath from the unexpected boost of speed.
Chris saw this and reached out a hand and laid it on Tails' shoulder. "You okay Tails?" Chris asked.
Tails nodded as his heart returned to its normal rate. "I'm okay Chris. That was so fast!" Tails replied.
"Grandpa enhanced the boosters to full capacity so the new X-Tornado is twice as fast," Chris notified.
Tails took a few deep breaths and decided to have another attempt. Tails thrust the X-Tornado to its maximum speed again. The X-Tornado launched in the sky with tremendous speeds.
Tails gritted his teeth as he tried to maintain control of the plane. "Grah, GRRAH!" Tails grunted as he managed to obtain control of the X-Tornado whilst still in maximum speed.
Tails performed turns before he decided to slow down. He pulled the controls towards him, causing the X-Tornado to return to normal speed.
Tails decided to go back to the mansion as he was getting a little tired and a little motion sick.
"Are you okay Tails?" Chris asked in concern.
"I'm okay Chris, I'm ready to bring her down now. I'm feeling a little bit tired.. And a little sick." Tails told Chris. "Everything is A-Okay on my end!"
"Roger that Tails," Chris responded.
Tails put his headset on and spoke into it. "Hello, Chuck, can you hear me?" Tails asked in the microphone.
After a few seconds, Tails heard Chuck's voice. "This is Chuck. Tails, how are you going?" Chuck asked.
Tails smiled. "I'm good Chuck. I'm ready to return now." Tails responded.
"Roger that Tails," Chuck nodded.
Tails then turned the X-Tornado around and piloted the aircraft back to the mansion. When Tails saw the runway approach, Tails tilted the X-Tornado down in an angle, causing the X-Tornado to dive down slightly.
Tails pushed a button which retracted the lower wings in the plane and engaged the landing gear with a push of another button on the dash pad.
Tails decreased some speed as the X-Tornado came to a steady landing.
Tails slowly guided the X-Tornado into the lab and made sure not to hit anything.
Once the X-Tornado came to a halt, Tails turned off the engine and opened the cockpit, leaping down from the plane. Chris jumped down from the plane as well.
"Guys! We're back!" Tails announced, wandering into the lab and shut the doors. When Tails turned around, He saw everyone gathered up with smiles.
"Hey buddy, how was the test flight?" Sonic asked as he came over to the young fox.
Tails beamed brightly. "It was so good Sonic." Tails affirmed happily.
Sonic smiled. "That's good to know buddy," Sonic replied.
Tails smiled at his friends and big brother. "T-Thank you all for giving me the most enjoyable birthday ever." Tails spoke softly, trying hard not to burst into tears.
Chris knelt on one knee so he could reach Tails' height then gave Tails a big hug. "It's okay Tails. We are happy we built this for you. We didn't like to see you so upset." Chris replied.
Tails returned the hug as he started to sob in joy again. He was very glad to have friends like Sonic, Chris and the others. Tails and Chris broke the hug as Tails wiped the tears away from his eyes.
Tails was still confused to who took the X-Tornado in the first place. "Hey, guys?" Tails asked. "Do you know how the X-Tornado disappeared?" Tails asked.
Sonic laid his hand on Tails' shoulder. "I'm so sorry but..." Sonic explained.
Chapter End.
Authors Notes: Cliffhanger once again. I'm so sorry but ever since I put two cliffhangers, I wanted to add another one. That concludes chapter 15. I can't believe I'm nearly done on this story. Only two chapters to go.
Just an update on Super Tails Is Born, the fanfic is around 50% complete. Hopefully in time before I am off my break for Sonic-X: One-Shot Adventures.
Anyways, this chapter went very well and I felt like I wrote it well too.
The next chapter will be a new scene that was removed from the original.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I will check in the next chapter.
