Chapter 6: The problem (6 weeks later)
It was the next day and Sally had formed up plans for a mission into the city they were going to rescue some freedom Fighters that they had heard had been captured and with Sally forming the plans and Sonic getting the group together the pair soon was in the city with a small group of their usel Bonnie, and Rotor and with two add on's in Tails and Td who after Sally had checked with both Rotor and Bonnie was allowed to come along even if Sally disagreed big time over the idea but Rotor assured her that anything that hit Tails would mostly just cause a dent and some bleeding this didn't settle well with Sally until Tails convinced her that he would be fast and make sure none of the weapons would be pointed at him and with this in mind the group slowly walked into Robotnik's jail site
"Okay Sonic, Tails, and Td you three go to the west wing are intel states that some of the prisoners are over there" Sally said and nodding the small group moved to where Sally needed them and while they ran Td made sure no one was around 'huh weird I don't spot anyone it's too quiet almost like' Td was thinking before both Tails and Td's eyes widened
"Sonic stop it's a trap" Tails yelled before the doors behind them closed as well as the one's in front of them causing them to be trapped in a metal box then a screen with Robotnik's ugly mug appeared by the closest door
"Well well well it looks like I caught a hedgehog and fox in my little trap" Robotnik said before laughing this just caused Sonic to start tapping his foot impatiently and annoyingly, this also caused Robotnik to fume
" oh well let's just excite you too know want we" Robotnik said before clicking a button causing panels on the floor's, ceiling, and walls to open and in each on there was a turret aimed straight at them this caused both to get ready for a fight
"Oh and one last thing your little friend's not going to be so friendly soon enough" Robotnik said before clicking another button this caused both to blink realising what he was talking about before they smirked
"Oh you mean the fact that I'm one of your creation's yeah we already know and also I got rid of that little kill switch" Tails said smirking at the gawking Robotnik then Td popped up out of Tails new backpack that he had on smirking a smile full of sharp teeth
"Yeah and know with my help you're going to die Robuttnik" Td hissed glaring at the screen while causing Robotnik to actually flinch back while holding his robotic arm this made both Sonic and Tails realize something
"Wait Td was the one that cut off Robotnik's hand huh there had been a betting pool for that and I don't think anyone thought of possessed toy" Sonic said smirking then both watched as Robotnik started frothing at the mouth before pushing a button and causing the laser turrets to fire and quickly Tails and Sonic dodged a lot of them Tails even destroying a few by dodging some of the fire at another turret and making it explode
"That the best you got Robotni" Tails was saying before he heard a cry behind him and looking back he saw Sonic dodge another blast while holding his arm and realized what happened Sonic was more for speed but this area was almost completely covered in either turrets or broken parts and Sonic couldn't jump from gun to gun because of the heat coming of them this caused Sonic to have to go slow and a slow Sonic isn't good
"Sonic watch out" Tails said jumping in front of a blast making it hit his arm with the bandages this caused the bandage to be ripped off his metal skin and the blast ricocheted back at the turret
"Wow Tails think you can do that again" Sonic asked holding his arm that know Tails was closer he could see the blood and large amounts seeping through his fingers
"Maybe but we need to find a way out of here fas" Tails said before he felt a burn and the sound of a turret firing and he felt him slowly fall while hearing the sound of Sonic screaming his name
A couple of minutes later
It took a bit but soon enough Tails was able to overwid the sleep mode only to find himself in a junkyard with blood covering him and looking around Tails spotted a glint of a mirror and found that the blast had turn off the left side of his face showing the robot underneath this still creeped Tails out but he ignored it remembering what Sally said then he started wondering what had happened to Sally and the others until a bigger question formed in his mind
'Where is Sonic' and quickly Tails started running ignoring the blood he was leaving behind him he searched every where near him and soon enough he spotted a bit of blue fur hidden under a lot of scrap from what looked like the turret's they had battled alongside a backpack with a once again dismantled Td inside and moving forward Tails moved the metal aside with one hand while putting the crystal back on Td's head reactivating him and then quickly dodging Td's screaming attack until Td noticed his surrounding and instantly got all of the information Tails had while Tails got his it seemed that after Tails had fallen unconscious Robotnik had put up a manual control over the turrets and made them fire all at once luckily Sonic was able to protect himself slightly although Td left out how and during the fight Robotnik had brought out a mechanical hand while Td had been healing Sonic as best he could before his emerald had been snatched and that was it and quickly the pair pushed the rest of the metal off of Sonic only for both to gag at what they found Sonic was covered in blood and looked to be barely breathing and Tails could see why and understood how Sonic had survived he had put his injured arm in front of him as a shield from the blast and it had caused the arm to be cut completely off and by the looks of it Sonic had fallen into unconsciousness to escape the pain although this just caused Tails tears to run down his destroyed face while looking at his best friend before he tried to find a way to help him and soon enough new knowledge started pulsing through his mind
'Huh Robotnik hasn't disconnected me from the mainframe' Tails thought before he saw Td nod
"Yeah because he can't, he basically made you his super computer so he can't disconnect you unless he wants his robots and such to go slower then they are right now sure destroy you mostly just make sure the head isn't too damaged" Td said and nodding at this new knowledge Tails looked at what he had and almost gagged
"I I can't do this I can't" Tails said reading what was in front of him
"What what's wrong" Td said before the same info was sent to him
"To save him I would have to cut the rest of the pieces of the arm off and either leave him armless or" Tails said looking down at his older brother
"Or replace it with a robot one" Td said and looking around he spotted a lot of the necessary parts to do it with but
"Tails I have a question for you what would Sonic want you to do" Td said and for a minute what remained of Tails normal face went emotionless before he frowned in anger
"He would want me to give him the arm so he could keep fighting" Tails said grabbing the nearby parts and starting building while Td started using all he knew from Robotnik's computer to try and keep Sonic comfortable while also using his claws to cut away the unneeded pieces of the arm and soon enough the pair moved to work together connecting the wires of the arm to Sonic's nerves system while also lucky Tails had found some left over scrapped feeler metal and had put it in the arm before they attached it and when they did Sonic flinched big time almost screaming before lying down again too tired to even scream and what Tails needed to do next was get Sonic some blood back in his system and quickly Td and Tails started using Tails blood which they learned could be used for donor blood 'must of been incase Robotnik need some' on Sonic and they watched as slowly Sonic's pale face become much more blue until it was close to his usual color
"Okay know we have to move to a safe place" Tails said picking up Sonic and ignoring the warning that popped up and slowly Tails and Td moved Sonic into a hovel of trash and waited for Sonic to wake up and while they waited Tails hooked into a old computer that was in the hovel that looked to be one of Robotnik's scarps and used it to connect fully into Robotnik's main file drive to try and learn what had happened to Sally and the others and from what he was seeing there group had gone better than theres they had gotten the prisoners and had escaped but was right now pinned down in the courtyard of the prison that wasn't but a few miles from here
"Darn it Sally and the others need help but I also need to watch out for Sonic right now" Tails said allowed before he heard a groan
"Huh yeah and doing a splendid job of that seeing as you haven't noticed I was awake yet" Sonic said with a weak smile this surprised Tails because Sonic shouldn't have been up yet but then again Sonic was the fastest being alive so maybe
"Whats going on what happened" Sonic said slowly getting up before he saw the full on look of Tails who just gave him a deadpan look
"Okay that looks both creepy and cool but still creepy we could probably give Robotnik nightmares know" Sonic joked and Tails would have smiled if he wasn't looking at the metal arm on Sonic
"What it should just be a scratch by the way how did you heal it up so wel" Sonic was saying till he looked down and stopped when he saw the new arm then blinking he looked back at Tails before he looked back down
"Okay so was I allof a sudden one of Robotnik's robots too or" Sonic asked this actually did cause Tails to smile even if it was a sad one
"Sonic you lost your arm in the fight and it was either close what was left up or replace it and I thought you would rather I" Tails was saying before he felt a metal arm land on his shoulder
"Hey don don't worry I'm sure it won't be so bad besides know I should be able to give Robotnik an even tougher one two punch" Sonic said trying to cheer Tails up but the small fox could see the worry in Sonic's eyes and the flinch at his new arm moving
"Sonic I'm sorry I just tried to help and" Tails said before Sonic hugged him tight
"Hey don't worry at least know we match" Sonic said putting his robotic arm close to Tails and Tails giggled when he noticed that the metal looked blue in the moonlight that was coming into the building
"Yeah we do don't we" Tails said before they heard a explosion
"So want to get back in the fight" Sonic asked and Tails gave a grin that almost copied the one on his robot side
"Yeah let's give Robotnik hell" Tails said before the group ran out of the shake and into the main city and headed to where the blast came from hoping they got there before Robotnik won
