Chapter 2: Looking for Answers
Act Two: The Incognito
Meanwhile the White Lightning was entering into a small solar system; three weeks had passed since they said goodbye to Captain Grizzly at the space station. Tails was making adjustments to the motor and the power core of the ship. RAMP then enters in the machinery room.
"Master, should not you be on the bridge? You have spent the last two weeks, living in the engine room, literally! " – R.A.M.P said seeing his master surrounded by pieces of machinery and cables while typing on a computer.
"Yes, but I've been renovating the mechanisms of the ship, in order to make them faster and more efficient when we turn them on " – Tails answered - "Why, I have not detected any anomalies or failures of systems" – R.A.M.P said a little curious.
"You're right, but since the incident with the Creeps ... I have been a little bit worried. Captain Grizzly said they were very aggressive. They surely are looking for us even below moons "- Tails said with his stare down and a worried expression on his face. - "You should not worry, we crushed them the last time, didn´t we?"
"I…know, but I can´t stop worrying, I feel that we can´t let our guard down"
"Boss, after all you've gone through; do you really think a simple band of thieves can intimidate you?" – R.A.M.P said to Tails - "You're right, but now ... Sonic and the others aren´t here. I am ... alone " - Tails concluded on a very sad tone.
"That's not true, maybe we are only a group of machines, but we will be always supporting you and helping you master" – R.A.M.P declared - "Thanks, R.A.M.P"
Then they both went to the bridge. Arriving Tails is a pair of droids fighting over who would sit in the captain's chair.
"I want this chair!" - ND # 1said - "But I saw the 1st, so I'll sit!" - ND # 2 said back.
(AN: ND = Navigator Droid)
"Get back to your posts before we crash into something!" - ND # 3 screamed
Tails and RAMP saw this curiously because droids´ program was progressing very well, then Tails took a deep breath and yelled:
"SILEEEEEEEENCE!"
The droids stopped almost instantly and almost about to disarm each other, they were watching their creator in silence ...
"That's my seat, this place belongs TO ME !, And while I'm busy R.A.M.P is in charge, so ... back to your stations!" – Tails screamed - "Sure Master" - the two droids said separating from each other and returning to their places
"At least the ship doesn´t feel dead" – R.A.M.P joked
"What's the situation?" – Tails asked - "Our energy reserves are running out, one chaos emerald is not enough to feed the entire ship now that the reactor´s amplifier is damaged " - ND # 3 said to Tails
"We need to strengthen the reactor´s power core Master" – R.A.M.P warned - "We have enough diamonds for that, but we need to land in a place where I can work in peace, I also need some supplies ... Look for the nearest populated planet!"
Two hours later ...
"Master, we detected a planet in our direction. It´s not very far from our location "(DN # 3)
"Then set the course toward it, find a place where we can land safely" (Tails)
"As you wish" –all the droids said in unison while the White Lightning headed to the planet. When they arrived, they landed in a huge ravine and the ship fell to the bottom.
"RAMP we not know what kind of world is this, send scouts cameras and look for any sign of civilization" (Tails)
From the White Lightning a swarm of tiny spheres with lenses around were spread within a 50000 Km 2 range...
"The cameras only show dust and dry soil, you are sure there is life on this planet RAMP?" – Tails asked to his butler - "Wait Master, one of the cameras has detected something" - ND # 1 said to Tails.
"Put the image on the screen"
On the screen was a little town, the buildings appeared to be made of clay (but inside were like a common house) on the outskirts of the city had many ships and vehicles parked, looked like a bazaar town or a site to rest...
"Why a place like this would be in a part so arid of this planet?" – R.A.M.P wondered - "Probably because in this area there are not many places where one can stop to rest or look for supplies. How far we are from that place? "– Tails asked
"There is less than 5370 Kms to the north of the canyon Master" - ND # 2 answered
"Very well. By now the weather outside is too hot to go out, I will reinforce the reactor´s core and then I'll go to the town "(Tails)
"At Night?"
"The weather is cooler at night" - Tails said as he left the bridge- "But first ..." - He thought going to the greenhouse with a slight smile.
At sunset Tails gave final arrangements with the engines and ship's reactor ...
"Is ... almost. Uhh, that's enough "- Tails exhaled as he placed the last prism inside the reactor chamber amplifier. - "I must prepare to go out ..."
But he ... is intercepted by R.A.M.P ...
"Master, MASTEEER!"
"Now what's the matter R.A.M.P?"
"There is something you must see" - RAMP said before they leave running to the bridge of the ship.
Once ... on the bridge...
"Okay, tell me what happens" – Tails asked-"While the cameras around the town were exploring we found this ... Does it seem familiar?"- RAMP said while the image of a fighter ship appeared on the main screen.
"No ... that, that ship is ... A Creep fighter" – Tails said with fear - "It seems like it arrived recently. There could not be following us because the radars did not detect it earlier, and it came from the north, across our position " – R.A.M.P declared.
"If they are not following us, they must not know we are here. Now it will be more difficult to go to the town "
"Do you think you can recognize Master?" – R.A.M.P asked -
"No ... but I can´t go as I look now. I must go unnoticed "- Tails said -"What is the problem?" - ND # 3 wondered.
" I can´t go to the town like this, Do not believe a fox with yellow fur, blue eyes and two huge fluffy tails won´t call attention in a place like this?" - Tails said a little upset - "What will you do then Master?" – R.A.M.P asked.
Tails closed his eyes and frowned, holding his chin with his right hand while thinking what to do, then snapped his fingers and ...
"I know what to do!" (Tails)
After saying that he ran to his room. R.A.M.P and other droids followed Tails ...
"Master, Master!" - RAMP screamed as he knocked the door of his room. Tails ... finally emerged from his room with a gray blanket in his hands ...
"What will you do with that Master?" – R.A.M.P asked "From what we saw in the cameras, the people we saw wear loose clothing to protect themselves from the horrible morning sun as from the cold night air, I will use this blanket to go incognito" – Tails declared - "But it's too long" - R.A.M.P said.
"Yes, but I have nothing else" - Tails said as he struggled to wrap himself into the blanket.
The droids were on the bridge and waited, then...
"Well, how do I look?" – Tails said entering in the bridge all wrapped
All the droids ... on the bridge broke into a loud laugh even RAMP ...
"What are you laughing block heads?" - Tails asked annoyed to the droids.
"HAHA, Sor ... sorry master, but you look ridiculous" - RAMP said pointing the part of the blanket that was being dragged.
"Oh ... then, should help instead of laughing morons!"
"Ok calm master" - R.A.M.P said as he approached Tails.
"OOOOK, the first thing you need is to cut the blanket" – R.A.M.P suggested - "What!?, I can´t I'm not good at sewing ,also remember what happened at home" – Tails said to the droid.
"Yes I remember you needed new curtains, Cream's mother made you such favors, but this time she was not at home, and you had to do it yourself ..."
"And what happened next?" - ND # 3 asked - "Let's just say that the master almost lost one of his tails in a fight with a sewing machine" – R.A.M.P declared.
"Yes and took 3 months for my right tail´s fur to grow again" - Tails said with a circumspect expression.
"What will they do then?" - ND # 2 asked - "I would have to be taller in order to not to drag the blanket" – Tails said - "Yes, but how? " – R.A.M.P wondered.
Then RAMP Tails and turned to see one of the droids that were fighting, both of them with evil expressions on their faces…
"W-W-W-Why are you seeing me in that way? " - the frightened droid asked. - "Hmm for nothing, I think you can help me" - Tails said smiling creepily almost as does Egg-Man.
"Mu u ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, GET HIM!" – R.A.M.P screamed.
Then Tails, RAMP and the other droids lounge themselves upon their victim. When the struggle ended, Tails looked taller, but actually was sat on the droid ...
"I think this can work" - Tails said looking down as the blanket was not drawn.
"Well, I don´t think so" - said the droid poking his head out of the blanket.
"While you are coordinated and don´t make mistakes all will be fine. I will take you to the town in one of the cargo ships and I wait until you return. Master I recommend you go with a group of droids " – R.A.M.P advised
And so they went on the cargo ship to the town while the other droids remained in the WL. Meanwhile in the town, Tails and a group of droids were slowly venturing through the streets...
"This is soooo uncomfortable" - ND # 2 said poking its eye out of the blanket. - "And how do you think I feel, your exo-armor is not a bed of roses you know?" – Tails declared.
"Stop arguing or you will attract more attention" – R.A.M.P said Tails though out the communicator. - "If you finish this quickly, we will go faster without the enemy notices us "
While Tails and company watched the people walking by all the things they had: hotels, bars, markets, looking like a city in central India. They found everything except for ship spares ...
"I do not understand, there are all sorts of things in this place but not a store of spare parts" – Tails said upset - "Should we go back?" - ND # 4 asked.
"No, we can ´t go without those parts. There are still many of the ship's systems are still being repaired " – Tails answered.
"You know, I think we're getting a lot of attention" - ND # 3 said to the others - "Why do you say that?" – another droid asked.
Then Tails looked around, everyone else saw go to the hooded (Tails), and his minions (Droid) with an expression of curiosity and distrust...
"I think I know why"
After much searching found a store of spare parts in the town center ...
"Well I think we found it" - Tails said before he entered the place and company.
When they entered they found that the place was overrun with parts of different machines, but they were stacked in huge boxes and seemed like damaged and worn parts. The place was dusty and they looked down the hall, a desk.
"I do not think we should go in there, I mean look at this place" - A Droid said - "Maybe, but we need the spare parts urgently" – Tails declared.
The group went to the desk and saw a bald old man with pointed ears and a big white beard, snoring on the desk...
"Excuse me, sir ... excuse" - Tails said, but the old man was still snoring.
"I got it" - ND # 1 Said and approached the old man's ear and screamed - "WAKE UP YOU OLD SKIN BAG"
The old awakes stammered with shock ..
"W-W-W-WHAT, w-w-who, w-w- where. Sorry young one, what do you want?" – the old seller asked politely. - "I need some supplies for my ship" - Tails said handing over a small list to the seller .
"Let's see ... hmm, I think this will cost you a little more, young one"
"How much?" - Tails asked with some nerves while watching the total price on the note wrote by the seller.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" – Tails screamed "Hey, my ears still work!" – Replied the seller
"I'm sorry but I have not enough money" - Tails said lowering his head in frustration, then something falls off his "Cloak", a small diamond ..
"Master you dropped this" – Said a droid picking up the diamond - "How did this get here?" – Tails questioned.
"I was Master, I thought you could change some money for them, so I put some of those in the bag" - RAMP said through the comm.
"But I brought these to use them in the reactor ..." - Tails Said but he noticed that the old man looked at the diamond with his eyes open.
Tails moved the diamond to the left and seller leaned to the left, did the same to the right, and when he moved from side to side the old man quickly shook his head ...
"Y-Y-Young one, Where did you get thi-thi-this diamond?" – the old Seller asked to Tails. - "I brought it from home, why?" – Tails replied.
"Gems like those are very rare and valuable on planets like this" -The Seller assured.
"Oh, Really?, How much cost one of these?" –Tails asked - "In the state it is, I could say ... 2000 coins" – the seller said.
"Let's make a deal then, I'll give you the diamond if you give me all the parts in the list and a small amount of money. OK? " –Tails suggested - "Deal!, Follow me" - the seller said while Tails and the droids followed him to the warehouse.
"I haven´t had a customer in years, so the store is so messy" – the Seller declared - "Yes, but what about the boxes at the entrance?" – Tails asked.
"They are just pieces I sell scrap when passing. In this store I keep the pieces for sale, have two years of being here but they are like new. Take what you need " – The seller offered.
"OK, guys go and take what we need!" – Tails said to the droids.
Then droids accompanying him spread as cockroaches taking the pieces, then said good bye to the seller as they returned to the cargo ship ...
"It seems that these stones are very useful, right master?" - a droid said.
"Yes, but I never expected to have to use them as money out of mobius"
After arriving and place everything in the cargo ship...
"It took you a lot" - R.A.M.P said seeing them arrive - "The next time you try to find the supplies in a maze of dry mud like this" - Tails said in an annoyed tone.
"Can we go now?" - R.A.M.P asked. At that time the stomach of Tails let out a loud growl...
"I think I'll get something to eat" - Tails said embarrassed - "Master we have what we look for and, is there no food on the ship?" – R.A.M.P asked
"I think so, but I'm starving and I'm also the only one to eat on the ship I restock the pantry. So I´ll go back "
"You should not go alone Master" - R.A.M.P warned - "Do not worry, I'll be fine. Also remember that someone is with me " - Tails said pointing to the droid that was below him.
"Yes, but ... if remain like this… you will be alone ... Master " – Said the droid what was whit Tails. And Tails ... and the droid fell to the ground ...
" I need another idea" - Tails said on the floor with his eyes swirling.
Back in the WL, Tails was repairing the droid upon which he fell...
"I will never use one of my droids as stilts " (said Tails welding a droid's leg)
"It is better, unless you want to work overtime repairing us"
"O.K, it´s ready! "(Tails)
But ... Tails stomach growled again ...
"AWW, I am hungry yet!" - Tails said in disappointment as he dropped himself to the ground.
"Did you have not eaten yet?" – Asked the droid - "Yes, but what was there wasn´t enough. I go to replenish the pantry but I cannot go in the way I look. And if I reinforce your Exo- Armor " - Tails said seeing the droid.
"OH NO!" - ND # 2 screamed.
"Yes, yes. It's a bad idea, but I have a better one "(said Tails seeing some spare parts for droid)
RAMP was putting ... the last of the shopping in the warehouse...
"Let me guess, you will return to the town again, and Which of the droids is below you?" – R.A.M.P asked to Tails
Tails just lifted the blanket and showed some improvised stilts...
"What about those? Do not tell me you broke the poor droid ..." - R.A.M.P asked to Tails - "Nah, I made it with parts that were left in the warehouse. Come with me to the town I need more supplies " – Tails ordered to R.A.M.P
"Did we have not gone to get the supplies?" – R.A.M.P wondered - "Those were the spare parts for the ship, Let´s go, I´m starving!" – Tails declared.
In the town:
After wandering for a while and buy the food...
"What do you want so much food, you will distribute it at the town?" – R.A.M.P joked.
"NO, I don´t want to have to stop in order get food in a long time" – Tails answered - "Why I have to carry all of them?" – R.A.M.P complained
"You complain too much R.A.M.P, your exo-armor is stronger than the navigator droids armor, and if I try to carry something with these stilts I´ll end up on the floor again" (Tails)
Then ... they pass near a bar...
"RAMP return to the cargo ship and wait there."- Tails said looking at bar -
"Come on Master, we already have the food or that, you going to get drunk?. Do you remember what happened in Amy's birthday?, you could not tolerate a glass of punch "- R.A.M.P declared - "Yes, and even had not a little of alcohol. Don´t worry It won´t be too long "- Tails replied.
"As you wish, but be careful and do not be late" - R.A.M.P ended as Tails entered the Bar
Entering Tails goes directly to the bartender...
"What can I get you skinny?" – The Bartender asked - "Just give me something with no alcohol" (Tails said sheepishly)
The bartender gave him a huge earthen vessel with a sour-smelling liquid...
"Here, ectojo juice without alcohol. 10 coins "
"10 coins?, It´s a steal" - Tails thought handing the money to the bartender and sitting.
As He watched the dance on the stage, someone comes to the bar, with a black helmet, purple jacket, black pants of gray leather, he looked human but he had a row of horns on his forehead and two huge fangs. The newcomer sits next to Tails, order a drink and talk to the one sited near him, it was like he butt his nose was bigger...
"I tell you that was the worst mission I've had"
"I do not understand that the mission was easy, You were supposed to attack Grizzly, right?"
Tails' ears were hearing the talk indirectly ...
"Grizzly?!, Then… they are ..." - Tails thought trying to stay calm.
"Yeah, he's tough but he lacks of good weapons or fighter pilots"
"What happened then?"
"Grizzly´s Carrier wasn´t alone, another ship accompanied him and attacked us"
"What happened next?"
"I never knew. All I remember is that a fox-faced idiot attacked me with a weird plane and then he punched me away. When I returned my companions were vanished, they probably took them away. When I get my hands over that bastard I will ..."
Tails by hearing that nearly chokes on his drink and started coughing...
"Hey, are you all right?"
The hooded (Tails) just nodded...
"This must be the guy I fought last time " - Tails thought with alarm remembering what happened.
"You must be careful, whoever that guy be, is not trustworthy" - said the other pilot before leaving the Bar.
"How much do I owe you?" - The pilot asked to the bartender - "Ten coins, plus another 80 you owe me today in the morning" - the bartender said in a hostile tone.
"I can pay you later?" – the pilot asked - "I give credit to anyone, you have to pay me now" –The Bartender demanded.
"You know who I am?" –the pilot said -"No, but you'll be a dead man if you do not pay me, pay me now or I will hang off your hands as decoration" - The bartender said as he pulled a huge butcher knife and pointed to a corner where he had several pairs of hands and names, over them there was a huge sign saying "Debtors".
Seeing this Tails was horrified and seeking to avoid a problem ...
"Hey I don´t want to intrude but, What if I pay his debt and the drink sir?" - Tails asked the bartender.
"Hmm, Fine for me" (the bartender said while he received 90 coins fromTails)
"Thanks man, You saved my skin and my hands" –The pilot thanked to Tails - "Forget it, It was a pleasure" - Tails said back seeing the stage.
"You're not from around here, why do you cover your face at night?" - The pilot asked - "I cut my face recently and I have a very ugly wound, I do not want people to see me like I´m now" (Tails)
"What are you doing here, you look like a gypsy or something?" (Pilot? 1)
"N-N-N-No, I'm just passing through. What are you doing here? "- Tails asked
"I came here to rest after my last mission, what's your name?" – the pilot asked - "What do I say?, What do I say?, What do I say?!" - Tails thought with alarm with a look of panic on his hood.
"I'm Miles" – Tails answered - "I Insher" - Insher said as he shake hands with Tails.
"Insher, only for curiosity, what were you talking to the other pilot?, Was about your last mission?" –Tails asked - "No. The mission I just did was just an assignment; I was referring to another " – Insher answered.
"And, that mission ended very bad?" (Tails said giving him a sip of his drink)
"Was worse than bad, the battle had just begun and a fox-faced jerk kick me out of the combat" - Insher said with some anger . - "H-H-How was that?" – Tails asked.
"His ship was strange, and very quick. If I get my hands on him I will tear apart his skin "- Insher affirmed with anger - "Enough, I'm going out!" - Tails thought in panic while finished his drink in one gulp.
"It was nice talk with you, but I remembered that I left my ship turned on. Goodbye " - Tails said quickly while hw leaved the Bar - "Hey wait!" - Insher said as he followed Tails.
Unfortunately for ... Tails, a drunk was got in the way and when he wanted to avoid it, he tripped over a chair so he rushed to the door, smashing his face, broking his stilts and falling on the floor...
"Why did you run, are you okay?" - Insher said approaching Tails .
Insher ... leaning to put Tails face up, but he discovered his face...
"WHAT THE HECK…?!" - Insher screamed as he watched Tails and retreated and looks the stilts…
When... Tails regain consciousness , he got up and noticed that it had his face uncovered and he patted his head hysterically when he felt his face exposed ...
"YOU!, You are the idiot who helped GRIZZLY, what did you do to my team mates?"- Insher asked angrily - "I did not anything to them, I swear" - Tails said while he stand up in panic and retreated only to stumble back with his blanket and fell down.
"I will turn you a bathroom rug!" - Insher said while he cracked his knuckles. - "Oh yeah?, Well try!" - Tails yelled throwing some sand in Insher´s eyes.
"My eyes, you are going to ..." - Insher screamed but stopped as he noticed Tails was already 3 blocks away - "Get back here!" - Insher shouted before going after Tails.
... Tails was flying down the street with him Insher 1 ½ blocks away from him, he couldn´t fly higher because its "Cloak" would not let him ...
"Damn, the blanket is impeding me fly..." - Tails said before throwing the blanket behind him
"Attention all creeps, I foundthe moron who helped Grizzly . It is a fox with two tails and ... Ah, I can´t see! " - Insher he concluded when the blanket caught him in the face
Insher managed to take the blanket off his face and threw it to the ground but someone passing by picked it up and looked at Tails and Insher going away ...
"I won´t catch him if I keep running" - Insher thought. Then he approached to a guy with a flying motorcycle, he pushed him away and took the motorcycle to follow to Tails who begun to get tired ...
"I ... lost him ... at last?" - Tails asked turning back, but he was horrified to see Insher rapidly approaching him - "You can not run forever!" – Insher screamed.
"AHH I did not lose him!" - Tails shouted as he tried to fly faster .
And the worse ... was just beginning , in every corner of bars and hotels he were passing, he found 2 or 3 Creeps riders as if they knew where he was flying and all of them began to follow him until he reach a place with several alleys ...
"I ... I can not ... go on ..." - Tails said Panting cornered in a small hole at the end of the alley - "I saw him come in here, come on!" - A Creep Cried entering the alley.
"They found me!"
Then a door opened behind him ...
"What the ...?"
A silhouette peered out the door... and pulled Tails toward the door, when the creeps arrived found no one ...
"He isn´t here! , Impossible I saw in here! " – Insher swear - "Let's look at the other side" – Another Creep said.
Tails was laying in a dark alley ...
"OWW!, My ... head. Where am I? " - Tails said rising from the ground - Then ... he heard a voice ...
"Young one, are you okay?" (?)
When the voice ... stepped out of the darkness, it was the old seller who had pulled into the alley ...
"You!, How?"
"Come with me, I'll explain everything on the way" – The old seller said
Tails ... and the old man went right through the alley until they arrived to a network of tunnels under the city, as they moved ...
"What is this place?" – Tails asked - "It's an old underground shelter built years ago by the founders of this town, is used during the tornado season in the desert" – the old seller replied.
"Let me guess, you're one of the founders ..."
"No, my grandfather was a founder long time ago"
"How'd you find me sir?" - Tails asked - "I saw you running away from that crazy moron, so I talked to the people of here and they said you runned to a dead end, by the way you left it lying on the ground ..." - the seller said handing a blanket to Tails.
"Thanks" – Tails thanked taking the blanket back - "I do not know what kind of trouble do you have, but you must get out of here as fast as possible these Creeps are all over town. Have you heard of them? " - The Seller said to Tails.
"I have said some things"
"Well rumor has it that one of their troops was captured in an failed assault on a merchant fleet and they are now looking angrily to the responsible in order to settle the scores " - The old seller said - "Don´t you know nothing more?" –Tails asked.
"I only know they will stop before nothing until to get and end with those who they believe are involved with that problem, Do not have anything to do with that right?" – The Seller asked -"N-N-No " – Tails Stammered
"Are you sure?, Because they seem to know you"
"I assure you I have nothing to do"
"Well ... '
Then come to the end of a road and the old man opens a door leading to a path to the edge of town ...
"This road will take you outside and you must hurry these Creeps are everywhere, if they catch you're dead" – The seller warned - "Thank you sir" -Tails said as he left the alley
"You're welcome, now run" - the seller said as he watched Tails fly away, and then he closed the door.
Meanwhile ...
"Did you find him?"
"No, we have put this town upside down and he does not appear"
"Look!" – A creep pilot said after he saw Tails flying pass 2 blocks away.
"You will not leave this place alive" - Insher assured.
RAMP ... was waiting outside ...
"It's too late, why the master is delayed?"
At that time ...he heard a shout in the distance ...
"RAAAAAMP!, RAAAAAMP!"
"Master?"
Tails ... reaches and descends before R.A.M.P ...
"Master, why you aren´t wearing your cloak and what happened to the stilts?" – R.A.M.P asked - "I'll explain you later, Let's go NOW!" – Tails screamed.
... Then the cargo ship was heading towards the canyon...
" you were talking with one of the Creeps?!" - R.A.M.P said bewildered - "Yes, and he even said that he will turn me in bath rug!" –Tails answered still scared.
"Why not come out of there when you saw him?" – wondered - "Because I did not see when he arrived" – Tails responded
"Well at least things can´t get worse" – R.A.M.P declared.
... But, (the following is a tip for all who read this story, "Never say that things cannot get worse, because YES, Ii can get worse"), suddenly the cargo ship was rocked by a group of explosions around them ...
"What the hell was that?" - R.A.M.P said bewildered .
Tails opened the door roof and look up ,and ...
"AHHHH, RAMP you´re Horribly Wroooong!" – Tails screamed in horror as he saw a group of Creeps fighters pursuing them - "Why tear him apart if we can toast him now?, BLOW HIM TO SMITHEREENS!" – Insher ordered to the other fighters.
Then... fighters attacked the cargo ship wildly, every explosion was shaking it causing it meander out of control ...
"RAAMP, WATCH OUT, AHHH!" - Tails screamed before falling -"They want to turn us charcoal, How long to arrive to the WL!"
"Almost there,I will contact them now!" – R.A.M.P declared
Back in the WL the droids had another fight, yes they were the same as before but ...
"GET OUT, this is my post!"
"It blew the transistors you, this is my place!"
"Shut up 2 to work at once!"
"Why?" – the two droids asked at the same time.
"Because I Said So"
"Who was disconnected and made you boss?"
... And before he could say anything else, the alarm sounds ...
"What now?"
"The radar shows 43 objects coming towards our position is one of our cargo ships " - a navigator droid said
"They are RAMP and the Master, what about the other things?"
"The others are ... FIGHTERS"
"WHAT?" – they said at the same time
Is entering a transmission ... from the pursued ship...
"RESPOND, ANYONE!" - R.A.M.P screamed - "What happened?" - asked a droid.
"We are being pursued by an insane Creep group, initiate the takeoff, open the right door of the hangar, AND THEM GET RID OF THEM before we blow up, AHHH!" - Tails Finished screaming as the ship was hit by another blast
The chase came ... until they reached the cliff ...
"U R SOOOOO DEAD" - Insher cackled.
... But his laughter faded when he saw the White Lightning emerge from the cliff, with their guns aimed at the Creeps, Insher and the other only shouted while evading the shots ...
"I can see the hangar door open!" – Tails shouted - "Master will not be thinking ..." - RAMP said with panic.
"Just shut up and accelerate!" - Tails shouted as he plunged his foot on the accelerator.
The cargo ship was launched at full speed toward the edge of the cliff and all they could do was scream,RAMP and Tails prayed for not crash, then they went shot to the hangar door and despise they hit one side of the door they managed to enter the hangar with their armor dented and even clashed with the other ships but they arrived in one piece, once the two of them managed to enter the WL they leaved the planet, but the Creeps did not follow them...
The White Lightning, outside the orbit of the planet:
"I never want to do that again" - Tails said as he stumbled entering the bridge
The other droids on the bridge went to see them...
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah, but I feel like my processor get loose during the crash" – R.A.M.P answered - "At least for now we will not have to deal with those morons by now, if I see another Creep in the next 5 seconds I will shave my whole body" – Tails declared.
"Well get ready Master, would you like I bring you a knife?" - A droid suggested - "Why?" – Tails asked curiously.
The droid ... did not answered, but put the radar image on the screen and a look of horror came over Tails, Creep fighter ships were in front of them, they were like 8 times more than the amount that he dogged in the village, and Insher and company came from the opposite side ...
"The old man was right, RAISE THE SHIELDS!" – Tails screamed in panic.
So ... a huge magnetic bubble surrounded the ship ...
"OK guys, Let´s finish him!" - Insher said while the Creep army launched a barrage of missiles upon the WL.
With every attack the ship was shook with each impact...
"I'll fight them" - Tails said as he tried to go to the hangar - "Master, you cannot get out. You still are dizzy from the shock, you won´t endure enough out there " – R.A.M.P warned.
"But we must do something, many of the ship's systems will take time to reactivate, and the shields have not enough energy for now" – Tails declared- "Why do not we use in magnetic cannon?" – a droid asked.
"We can´t for now, we do not have enough energy to cause enough damage, and although we used it we would be without power" (Tails)
"What we´re going to do then?!" - R.A.M.P Screamed in panic.
... After thinking for a while ...
"Charging Needles" – Tails said - "The What ...?" - R.A.M.P / Droids asked
Tails ... then hurried to the control panel and activated the needles, after that huge antennas began to deploy around the entire ship ...
"What's he up to now?" – Insher wondered.
"What are those things?" - R.A.M.P asked to Tails - "They are a charging system that I created for emergencies. Absorb almost any type radiation from the space and stored the energy in the reactor. I have an idea; redirect all the power from the weapons systems to the shields except magnet cannon! " – Tails ordered to the droids.
"Transfer complete"
"Charge the magnet cannon" – Tails ordered - "But didn´t you say would be useless?" – RAMP asked.
"We will not shoot it, DO IT!" – Tails answered back
... Then they opened the front door of the ship exposing the magnetic gun which started charging ...
"I do not know why that is, but I will not find out. PUSH THE ATTACK! " - Insher said and the army Creep threw another shower of missiles.
"The shield strength is 49%"
"Whatever you are going to do Master, do it NOW!" – R.A.M.P screamed in panic - "Chanel the energy from the magnet canon to the needles" – Tails ordered.
The energy ball in the canon area shrank while the antennas were loaded with its energy and began to shine ...
"The antennas are loaded Master"
"Invert the polarity and redirect the power from the needles to the shields and release energy through the antennas" – Tails explained - "But ... the shields"
"Trust me, now!"
The shield of the ship began to be magnetized and to expand outside its boundaries, releasing a wave of energy that hit all the ships fighters but instead of leaving them without energy they were overloaded destroying their instruments…
"Damn, the controls do not work!" – Insher said angrily.
"Charge the weapons and launch a Laser Barrage!"
The WL shot its guns to the front opening a gap between the Creeps ...
"Hyper Drive, NOW"
The WL Then disappeared into hyperspace while Insher screamed in frustration at being defeated again...
In the hyper space:
Tails ... lay in bed after having escaped the Creep ambush ...
"May I go in Master?" – R.A.M.P said from outside the room - "
Come in" – Tails answered and R.A.M.P entered the room.
"When did you installed the needles master?"
"That was the last we installed on the ship, you were not at that time so you did not notice it"
"When you came up with that trick?"
"Three weeks after we left the station" - Tails said sitting on her bed - "You knows that we survived thanks to your quick thinking, right? "- R.A.M.P said.
"You really think that?"
"Definitely. You have proved to be wisely enough to survive to a hostile situation. Your friends on Mobius would be very proud of you"
"Perhaps you're right" - Tails said with a small smile - "Relax Master, you need it" - RAMP said leaving the room.
Tails ... just leaned back staring at the ceiling, lost in his thoughts ...
