(Reunited with their past comrades, Sakura and Tails run towards them for a friendly embrace.)
(Except for Espio, Charmy, and Vector pile on Tails and start rubbing his head, meanwhile, Sakura and Ibuki join hands and do a silly little dance that involves a lot of jumping & spinning.)
(We cut to Naruto with a smile on his face, happy for Tails finally finding his friends, but it then turns to a slight smile for some reason.)
Sakura: (Off-Screen) He did WHAT!?
(Cut to Sakura who glares at Naruto in a silly manner and stomps her way over to him with Ibuki's trying to hold in her laughter.)
Naruto: (Frantic) Sakura, it's not what you think, it was a misunderstanding!
Ibuki: But he did apologize, and I'm okay now...I think the swelling went down.
(Ibuki removes her mask to feel her cheek revealing it to be still quite swollen, making Naruto and Sakura cringe at the sight of it.)
Sakura: Yeah, just...just a bit.
Naruto: Ouch, I didn't mean to hit ya' that hard, now I'm really sorry.
(Sakura lightly elbows Naruto's arm and walks back to Ibuki, pulling out her backpack.)
Sakura: Here, I think I might have some treatment for that.
(We now cut back to Tails as the Chaotix finally give him some breathing space, except for Marlene, who's playing with Tail's tails.)
Note: "Tail's tails"
Tails: (Embarrassed) Hey, careful, I'm sensitive right there!
Marlene: (Amazed) Whoa, I didn't know foxes have two tails!
Vector: Heh-heh, ain't she cute?
Espio: It's great to see you're well, Tails.
Espio: Is Sonic with you?
(Tails shifts his attention to Espio while Marlene still plays with his tails.)
Tails: Actually, we've been traveling to find him.
Tails: When did you see him last?
Espio: I only saw him briefly when he visited Angel Island before I left for personal matters at my village.
(Vector picks up Marlene and carries her away from Tails.)
Charmy: Sonic and Knuckles went traveling together to fight Eggman's new generals, I heard they're awfully strong!
Tails: Yeah, I've seen proof of that firsthand…
Vector: So you came across them?
Tails: Only one, but he's been taken care of thanks to my new friend and me.
(Apparently, Johnny doesn't count, even though he did most of the work in defeating Blue.)
(Naruto walks up.)
Tails: Naruto, meet Vector, Charmy, and Espio.
Vector: And together we form the world's greatest detective squad known as…
Chaotix: THE CHAOTIX!
(Vector and Espio strike a somewhat cool pose with Charmy buzzing around.)
Charmy: (Sing-Song Voice) BEE-BEE-BEE-BEE!
(Naruto is looking is quite confused from the unnecessary posing, but just goes with it.)
Vector: We've technically been acquainted, but thanks for helping out our little pal.
(Vector pats Naruto hard on the shoulder.)
Naruto: Anytime, I couldn't have done it without him either.
Tails: With your strength and powers, I'm pretty sure you could've.
(Vector gets a call and picks up his communicator.)
Vector: Yo?
Vector: Gotcha...
(After receiving word from Barret, Vector puts his communicator away.)
Vector: Looks like we'll have to cut the reunion short.
Later…
(We cut to the sky above as it gets cloudy followed by light rain pouring down from above.)
INT-Barret's CLUBHOUSE-GUEST'S ROOM-EVENING
LOADING…
(The loading screen is pitch black until words with white lettering pop up on the screen, similar to what Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" used to do back in the day.)
5:03 PM
DBZ Narrator: Time sure flies...either that or the writer doesn't know how to structure the time in this story right.
DBZ Narrator: I'm pretty sure it's the latter…
(We now cut to our party members inside the nearest guest room upstairs.)
(The inside of the room is very basic and plain like any other guest room you'd see at someone's house despite this not being a house but technically is, in fact, a house in a way.)
DBZ Narrator: O...k… what?
Positions
Drake-In the center of the room sitting a roller chair holding a Honeycrisp apple.
Sakura-Sitting on the bed crisscross with Tails on her lap.
Naruto-Standing behind Drake with his back leaned against the wall.
Tails: This place is a way too big to be a clubhouse.
Drake: Right?
Drake: Looks more like a cabin lodge you'd see in those fake reality shows.
Naruto: What's a fake reality show?
Naruto: (Confused) Is it fake or real?
Drake: You don't watch much television, do ya'?
Naruto: I never had one.
Drake: We'll that's both healthy and sad, but we'll fix that later.
Drake: All right, let's get to the point; we pretty much have all the supplies we need now, thanks to Barret.
Drake: Hell, it barely costs me a cent...BUT, he can't give us any weapons to spare at the moment.
Naruto: Why!?
Naruto: He gave us supplies but not even so much as a knife to spare?
Drake: I was getting to that, let me finish.
Naruto: Sorry.
Drake: Barret's got a secret storage unit for extra weaponry in town, but the district it's in is blocked off because that's where a rampaging giant robot resides.
Sakura: A giant robot?
Drake: Yep, a corrupted robot that used to be good, now went bad...how fictitious can this town get?
Drake: I agreed to help him and the Chaotics out tonight and bring that thing down, but we could use some extra backup in case things get ugly.
Drake: And you guys don't have to chip in if you don't want to, that's why I'm asking-
Naruto: I'm in!
Sakura: Me too!
Tails: Me three!
(Drake is utterly dumbfounded by the trio's positive attitude and straight-up confidence without a care in the world.)
Drake: Oh… Well alright then, I'll call guys back tonight, so I'll leave ya' alone to go play catch up with your friends.
(As the trio settles their agreement, they exit the room.)
Drake: Hey Narts, wait.
(Naruto stops and turns to Drake, wondering what's up.)
Drake: You okay?
Naruto: (Calm) Yeah, I'm fine.
Drake: You sure?
Naruto: Yeah, why?
Drake: Ah, nothing, I was checking, you looked a little down during our little meeting.
Naruto: A lot's going on, I...uh, just needed to take it all in.
Naruto: I'm gonna go check on the others.
(Drake nods as Naruto finally exits the room, shutting the door on his way out.)
(Drake's not sure what to think of Naruto's current feelings, other than he knows that Naruto's not completely fine.)
(Done juggling and playing around with it, Drake leans back in his chair and takes a bite of his apple, which makes him look like an asshole.)
DING!
(We cut back to Naruto upstairs in the hallway.)
Objective Screen- You are now free to roam the Clubhouse for side quest and mini-games!
If you want to continue with the main story, head to Barret's office to begin tonight's mission.
Objective Screen2- However, be advised that some of the side quests and games can level you and your party up faster and will affect certain events as you progress through the story.
*X Button*
(The player opens up the menu and checks the party's current stats.)
Naruto-Level 17
Tails-Level 10
Sakura- Level 15
Drake-Level-12
(We hear a small "ugh" from the player in the background, shocked at how low everyone's stats are at the moment.)
(Taking the time to do side quests and mini-games, the player is now ready to continue with the main story and runs to Barret's office after saving the game even though it saves automatically.)
Author's Note- As much as I wanted to include the mini-games and side quests on here, I want to get to the point, so I'll include those in the next OMAKE and DLC.
Elsewhere...
EXT-Beaver Street-Evening
(Just as Barret said earlier, this part of town is in ruin with destroyed cars, buildings, and many other types of wreckage everywhere.)
(We now cut to the former service bot; it has a bulky humanoid appearance resembling that of a robotic version of a medieval knight.)
(It stands perfectly still up until General Red's voice is heard in its head.)
Red: (Voice Only) Your Queen requires your services once more.
(The robot lifts its head.)
Robot: Accepted, Sir Galore is here to serve his queen always.
Galore: What need of you?
Red: That trigger-happy meathead, Barret has made contact with some unwanted tourists.
Red: I've already sent one of my bots after them, so remain where you are for now.
Galore: Yes, my Queen.
*Pause*
