Don't worry guys, we're getting somewhere.
Even I'm surprised that I even made it this far and long. And I just notice I have used slang words on my comments just now. Not if I had used on previous chapters with comments
FYI: I purposely made the other chapter a cliffhanger because it feels that it could be split into two parts
Ch 13: Trust Fall
A figure so brave, swam down to the lake and reached for the drowing wolf and quickly arrived at the surface of the lake.
The saviour gently set the injured wolf by the lake as he quickly forces himself to press on the wolf's damp chest to save his life. The wolf laid peacefully as though nothing have happened as the fox continues the process. Will the wolf live? He is not giving up as he goes on doing CPR. Something he would regret, but it would not matter since it is the only way to save one's life.
After a short war between the life of a stranger or death as what felt to be eternal is a success as the wolf's eyes shot open as he forced himself to cough water, he had breathed underwater. Unbelievably, the water he had last swallowed was enough to adequately fill his lungs and other than that, he lives to see the next day all thanks to the hero beside him. He rushed to his side to have him go to a sitting position to pat his back to help stop him from coughing.
As the wolf's vision recovers from the dizziness as he returns to his consciousness, what he saw right beside him was a yellow figure. Later the wolf had wished he had not seen the figure as he had realized it was the young kitsune again. Why would he not leave him alone?
The wolf quickly rolled away to the left to avoid the kitsune. Once he got to a far distance of rolling, using one hand he had clawed to the firm grass to make a 90 degree angled turn and face the fox still on fours, snarling at the Fox to make sure he think he is his prey. Wanting to keep a long distance for him to make a quick escape from the Fox, not after what he had overheard from the fox's shelter.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." the two-tailed fox pleaded the wolf since he somehow knows with a little science and physics had a feeling why the wolf would be terrifying to look at unless the wolf, himself, also has a sense of fear of his own. He steps forward to get a reach of the wolf for aid, but the wolf steps back away as well while snarling at the Fox.
Looking from face to face, scowling eyes versus ignorance. The wolf tries to stay active as much as he possibly could as he felt his muscles starting to weaken with eyes still slumberous after the attack. But he immediately regrets showing weaknesses because now the fox knows why he would ask to back away. The Fox took a couple of steps forward to reach the wolf and this time, the wolf is slowing down due to his conditions. The wolf, so stubborn, tries doubling the scare level with his death stare and showing his bare teeth more openly. Surprisingly the Fox is no longer afraid of the wolf, but what surprise him the most is how long the wolf can stay conscious. He could not tell rather the wolf could talk.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a red figure came from behind and knocked the wolf out with his fist from the back of his head unexpectedly. Leaving the wolf laid unconscious on the ground.
"KNUCKLES! WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?"
"Are you alright Tails?
"OF COURSE I'M ALRIGHT! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT!?"
"Well, he tried to harm you, right? And second, at least I knocked out the culprit."
"First of all, he was frightened for some reason and second we don't even know that for sure."
"So...what makes YOU say that?"
"..." the fox paused for a moment to come up with a brief explanation, "I don't know, he looks...lost"

Taking a deep breath
"Come in Tails, can you read me?," the squirral tring to call Tails. After a long wait for an answer with several calls that the fox did not answer back.
"Sure thing Sally. Sorry I was late"
"It's okay. So tell me, what DID you discovered on that mission I sent you with Amy"
"Um...well...I found out that Eggman's base appears to be deserted and according to his data, it appears to be very recent that Eggman planned to get the emeralds in which he had already attempted and use this strange gadget that was made to be a mind control"
"Good...Wait! What?"
"Don't worry, Sally. It's broken when I found it in his base."
"Not that...What do you said about Eggman?"
"He managed to get his hands on the Master emerald, Sally"
"On no...Why didn't you say anything, Tails?"
"I'm sorry, Sally. But his robots were chasing me around the island and I was ambushed because Eggman wants me for some reason. I wasn't wearing my comlink to ask for help.
"That not possible...He shouldn't have...How could he..."
"Is something wrong Sally?"
"Can you give me a moment, please" she said as she cuts communications with Tails.
Rushing down to the prison for one the most devious villains on Mobius, right away gained access to enter as she is princess. Going down the elevator to the most secured cells built. What she was shocked to see was no sign of Eggman in his own cell. Doors where shut, not a single scratch on the walls(he doesn't need to because the cell is about 6 stories below), not a single whereabouts of the fat man. He was gone.
Cliffhanger?
