Ep.7: MBO: Ghost attracted to light part 2

"Goddamnit all! 6 places and they all say the same damn thing. 'We're fully staffed' can't believe this s*t. Sigh can't cry over spilled milk now can I?"

Tails spent the rest of his day trying to look for work but with no luck. He was lucky that he still had alot of money left for food and crap. He unlocked the door to his house, groceries in hand.

Surprisingly Tailsdoll wasn't on the couch watching his cartoons like he always does...At least this'll give Tails time to clear his head and sanity.

"(Sooooooo tired.)"

Tails plopped his weary body onto his bed, ready to shut his eyes although it was 6 in the afternoon until he heard the ringing of an alarm.

"Haah I knew installing that security system to my fridge before I left was a great idea!...Wait 8pm? I just put my head on the pillow. Whatever better get to my fridge."

Tails threw the sheets off him and ran down the stairs. As he made the corner to his kitchen he tripped and slid offscreen. He recovered quickly to see that his refridgerator was opened.

"I knew it! When I see that doll I'm gonna...huh?"

Tails noticed on the floor, a trail of blood which he deduced came from the red meat leading to his backyard so he followed it. He stopped at the entrance of the woods.

"Wait...why would Tailsdoll go into the woods with my meat for?...Better follow it then."

Tails slapped his cheeks and proceeded into the dark, tall tree, scary...I just pissed myself.

The moment Tails entered the woods the sneaky agent Snake Eyes came out of his hiding place from behind a tree and out of his camouflage mode on his suit. His sadistic smile said it all.

"Finally heeheeheehee! I knew this s*t would be too easy."

Snake Eyes used his claws to climb up the tall tree. He then jumped from tree to tree.

"Following the blood and the fox will definetely lead me to it. Once I catch it and drag it'sss assss back to bassse I'll be sure to get a raissse. Jussst you wait you winged fiend."

The trail felt like it was going on forever. Why would Tailsdoll go out this deep into the woods just to eat red meat? Tails kept his options open but he couldn't come up with any other reason other then he didn't want to get caught which he will be.

"(Damnit Tailsdoll to go this far to eat meat? I can't tell if you're stupid or uber stupid?)"

It was then Tails caught a whiff of something very strong. That definetely wasn't the smell of meat...more like a decaying corpse.

"Bleh, s*t that's strong. But it feels like I'm getting closer to Tailsdo- WTF!"

Tails instantly hid behind a nearby tree, poking his head so he doesn't get seen.

"Easy, easy. You'll choke if you don't slow down and chew...there we go."

"(Tailsdoll? What the hell is he doing? Better question is what the hell is that thing?)"

Tailsdoll was gently stroking the back of a large, dark brown furred creature that was munching on the red meat Tailsdoll provided it with. It had two big circular red bug eyes that were too big for its head...if it had a head that is since they are on the location of its chest.

The size of the thing was about 5 to 6 feet tall with a pretty large wing span. Its mouth and jaw that was munching and crunching into the piled mess Tailsdoll had was able to open wider than a normal person could. It also let our a low gravely pigeon-like coo. Tails would ask himself again, WTF is that thing?

"It looks like your wing is starting to heal up nicely. Do you think you can fly again?"

The creature responded to the question with a shake side to side with it's body. Tailsdoll sighed..

"I see...but don't you fret. Once you are in the air you'll live out the rest of your freedom."

"(So he's been feeding this thing my food? Well I wouldn't condemn him for doing a good deed but that's my f*king meat. I'm on a budget as it is.)"

Tails decided to take a step forward to take cover behind another tree. Unfortunately for him he stepped on a branch, alerting both the creature and the Tailsdoll. It started to panic until Tailsdoll quickly calmed it down.

"WHO'S THERE?! Don't make me bite your sock cause I will!"

"(Smooth move Tails. Sigh might as well since I'm caught.) Alright calm down doll."

Tails came out of his hiding place. Tailsdoll gulped nervously. Tails didn't know that he was taking food out of the house for the past 2 weeks. Before Tails could confront Tailsdoll he observed the pile the creature was eating from? Yes there was red meat but there was also clumps of cereal from different boxes (Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms, Pebbles just to name some), and unwrapped candy like the peppermint.

Looks like that confirmed it. Tailsdoll isn't that stupid to eat all his s*t. Not since he has a stomach the possibility of him getting sick was obvious yet Tail's stress caused him to overlook like detail.

"Before I piledrive the s*t out of you lets get the elephant in the room right away...What the f*k is that thing?"

Tails pointed his finger to the trembling creature.

"It's not a thing. His name is Mothman."

"He?"

"Yeah. Mothman's a great communicator though it can't speak at all. It can write letters into the dirt, see?"

Tails looked down at the ground. It was a little hard to see since it was dark out. But there was definite evidence of previously scritched letters, child like pictures and numbers. What the heck did it use to do that, it's feet?...Who knows?

"Okaaay so how long have you been doing this for?"

"2 weeks."

"(2 F*king? How did I not notice tha- hold on?) You said that thing is called Mothman right?"

"I told you it's not a thing! Sigh and yes he is called Mothman."

After processing for a bit it finally clicked in Tail's mind.

"Guh! That's Mothman?!"

"Geez did you forget already? And you call me stupid heheheheheh *bonk* oof!"

Tailsdoll was hit square in the forehead by a rock thrown by Tails.

"Sorry oww. Anyway you know eachother?"

"You dunce! That's "the Mothman!" The Mythical Phenomenon of Pleasant Point, the suppossed cause of the Silver Bridge collapse, that Mothman!"

"Just a moment cowboy. He told me that he had nothing to do with that incident."

"Whatever the damn case is, you were feeding i-...him my food?"

Tailsdoll just shrugged his shoulders.

"Pretty much yeah. But it's not what you think?"

Tails made himself comfortable, sitting on a rock.

"I'm listening."

"You see, I met Mothman not too long ago. I was experimenting with the difference between taking a s*t in the woods and doing it in the shower-"

"Wait is that why there were brown stains in the bathtub a week ago?"

"DON'T INTERRUPT! Anyway, Mothman was hurt and I decided to help by giving him food. The end."

"That would also explain some missing stuff last week, but...why take all my food now though when I am currently going through a crisis?!"

Taulsdoll put his hands on his hips in a sassy manner.

"Do you know how much energy someone like Mothy over here needs in order to fly great distances?...No really guess?"

"Uh I wouldn't say alo-"

"A BEAR'S WORTH OF FOOD TAILS! A BEAR'S WORTH OF FOOD! He was starving to death-"

"Yo who called me?"

Death popped his head from behind Tails.

"S*T DUDE! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT?! YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!"

"And no one called you dude."

"Oh...the I'll just take my leave then...sup Mothman?"

The Mothman flapped it's wing acknowledging Death's existence as he vanished.

"Let me get this straight then? You were feeding the Mothman my food just so that it could have enough strength to fly away?"

Tailsdoll nodded his head rapidly.

"Well it looks like he's better. Sigh go ahead, heal up and go before I change my mind."

"Oh I don't think anyone'sss going anywhere."

Tails felt a sharp pain from both sides of his neck. Then all of a sudden his body went limp. The Mothman also felt limp as it plopped to the ground. Tailsdoll was the only one standing.

Snake Eyes removed his camo device while walking out from his hiding place.

"Thisss wasss too damn easssy. Thanksss for leading me to the Mothman heeheeheheeh."

"Cobra Head!"

"Gee what a way to generalize sssomeone. Anywho, I'd like you to ssstep assside while I collect my prize."

Snake Eyes extended his arm but Tailsdoll swatted him away.

"Oh? How interesssting, you're ssstanding up to me? Now little guy, I don't need to caussse anymore comassss ssso cmon."

"H-h-hold it y-y-you snake headed b-b-bastard!"

Tails may not be able to move his body but he was able to see, hear and speak. Snake Eye's brow cocked up.

"Hm? That'sss weird, my Cobra Ssstrike ssshould've put you in a coma the inssstant I ssstruck you...Oh well I'll deal with you lat-"

"Sh-shut up! Who are you and what are y-y-you trying to do with Tailsdoll?"

"Isss that what that thing isss? Doesssn't matter to me. I'm jussst here for the Mothman. Sssince you're gonna go into a coma anyway I might asss well give you the courtesssy of knowing my name...if you can remember it that isss? It'sss Snake Eyes, now goodbye."

"Nnnnggghhhh (Aww crap.)"

The last of Tail's mental strength left him, becoming fully unconcious and leaving Tailsdoll all by his lonesome who is still active and not numb.

"Now then where wasss I? oh yesss, the Mothman."

Tailsdoll got in front of Snake Eye's path. His look of intensity boosting his courageousness.

"I'm not gonna let you hurt Mothman. Not while I'm here to help him."

"...Ssso a doll thing like you isss gonna try and ssstop my progressssion?"

"Damn straight I wi-"

With no hesitation Snake Eyes back handed Tailsdoll's cheek with barely any effort. The force of his hit sent him crashing through a tree...timber lol.

"One down, one Mothman to g-"

"Owwwwah! That bitch slap hurt. I'm suppossed to be the pimp here...whatever that means?"

"..."

Snake Eyes jumped into the air and appeared behind Tailsdoll. He pointed out his index and middle fingers from both hand that were dripping purple liquid from under his fingernails, inserting them into Tailsdoll's neck at lightning speed.

"Cobra Ssstrike!"

Tailsdoll instantly felt the effect of the technique. An instant spray was released into his bloodstream, slowly numbing the joints of his body as he plopped to the ground, motionless.

"I figured that it wasss ssstrange how a doll like that had a ssskeletal sssyssstem...and organsss for that manner. No matter sssince it is alsssso dow-"

"Hey! Who are you calling an it? I'm a manly man mind you!"

"Wha...what the hell?"

Tailsdoll was already on his feet like nothing happened. He didn't even feel the jabbing in his neck. He just felt tired for a few seconds but that was all he could remember.

"(No woundsss? That'sss impossssible? Cobra Ssstrike never failed me when it came to knocking out witnessesss and creaturesss bigger than me yet thisss one...he got up like it wasss noth-)"

"SHUT UPPPP!"

The moment Snake Eye's guard was dropped Tailsdoll gave him a powerful uppercut to the jaw. Not even he expected a small flimsy badly advertised children's toy to pack a wallop. It was like a 10 pound hammer being swung. Thank goodness Snake Eye's jaw was elastic. The worst part is it was all for comedic effect.

"I'm able to hear your thoughts to a certain degree and the amount of S's that comes out of your mouth pisses me off."

"(Fine then...he wanted to play...ssso I'll play and it'll take a few secondssss.) Ssserpent King art: Slitheren shadows."

Snake Eyes mumbled to himself as he created an afterimage of himself to distract the doll and flattens himself to the ground, rapidly slithering his body to him.

"And another thing. Are you with the police? Animal rights activists?...Ohhh the silent treatment eh?"

"No, jussst a dissstraction so I can kill you easssier."

He couldn't react in time to see Snake Eye's clenched up hand, all five fingers stabbing into the center of Tailsdoll's body. They were all dripping a yellow substance that came from under his fingernails.

"Ssserpent King killing blow: Basilisk fang!"

Snake Eyes removed his clawed hand from Tailsdoll's chest. After a few seconds Tailsdoll spat out a massive amount of his own blood while his eyes turned gray. He just stood there like a statue.

"Phew, I won't be able to ussse my hand for three hoursss. Heh so what. It'll all be worth it sssince my ultimate technique killsss my opponent in an inssstant, leaving their musclesss ssstiff and every sssyssstem in their body to forcibly ssshutdown all at once. Now with no more interruptionsss."

Snake Eyes walked over to the still unconcious Mothman, ready for his completed capture until suddenly his body froze from where he was about to touch him.

"Huh? M-my body? Why isn't it-"

"So...that was the best you got mortal?"

Snake Eyes wasn't able to move his head. The voice was not familiar to him at all. It was childlike.

"Hmmmm Basilisk's venom? Interesting? The last time I killed a Basilisk was a few centuries ago. Seems like your people oh wait that's too nice...oh yes your 'faulty cult villagers' including yourself had a great use of preserving your ahem 'god's' body and fluids."

The Tailsdoll was rolling his shoulders. There was something...very different about him though. His ragedy plush body was more realistic, like he has real fur instead of fabric, His ears were straight and pointed, his stubby hands were now five fingered claws and his eyes were black with purple ominous lights as his iris's.

He was inhaling the air and letting out a satisfied exhale. The teeth in his mouth were skinnier but more jagged and sharp than before.

"If that was your best than my confidence in the fox boy will lower. So weak, just as I suspected. That little bitch already ruined part 1 of my goddamn plan."

"Plan? What pla- no the better question isss who the hell are you?"

"Oh thank goodness you can sense me. Don't fret, I'm just using my old creation to observe the so called 'next savior' hrrrdrrr. Hmph my ass...I don't see how he's a threat to begin with. As for who I am well I'm a being beyond your comprehension."

"You mean...the d-"

"Don't bring him up. That weak asshat will be overthrown as soon as my resurrection is complete. My name is...meh what's the point of doing that since you're gonna die anyway."

By the time Snake Eyes was able to turn his head the Tailsdoll (?) was already right next to him. He then took a few steps back so he was about a foot away from Snake Eyes.

"For your insolence against a king I'll make your death quick...by this!"

Tailsdoll pointed his finger to the soul gem, that was glowing brighter and brighter. All with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Are you reeaaddyyy?"

"(Sss*t, I'm gonna die like this?)"

"Here we go. Ahemhemhem cough cough hack!"

No matter how hard he tried Snake Eyes couldn't do anything. As he looked deeply into Tailsdoll's (?) eyes he saw mutiple flashes of a chained being surrounded by an endless field of of neon pink flowers. It was yelling, screaming and finally hysterically laughing while calling out what can be deduced as a name but it kept getting blurred out so no one would hear what it was callong out to?

The gem reached it's maximum brightness.

"Demono...Ray."

A red flash of light engulfed Snake Eye's body, his pain filled screams were muffled by the extreme staticy sound that emitted from the beam that erupted from the Soul Gem. In the path of the beam it evaporated through multiple trees.

Tailsdoll (?) chuckled wickedly when he looked on the ground to see the only remains of Snake Eyes, his lower torso which fell backward to the ground. It's entrails spilled out of the half corpse.

"You're pretty lucky Snakeman. That was only 30% of its true power. Mmmm~ I can't wait to have my real body again. I just can't wait, but I can wait a little longer and when I do-"

Tailsdoll (?) licked his lips with his long, lizard like tongue.

"I'll make him my bitch...For now I should take the Mothman out of here...and save the fox too, ugh."

Tailsdoll (?) carried both Tails and the Mothman over his head. With a huff he started to walk out of the forest, whistling a tune to himself.

End of part 2...completed?
