Chapter 3: Bonds of Destiny, Sur'ion Tome
Act One: The Outcasts
In Mobius Prime, on Angel Island to be exact, Knucles and Sonic were discussing Tails´ departure…
"YOU MEAN TAILS LEFT MOBIUS SIX MONTHS AGO?!" - Screamed the confused Echidna - "Yep" - Sonic replied nonchalantly.
"And how is I did not notice it?"
"Because you spend too much time on this island, must get out more often"
"You know that my job is protect the master emerald from anyone who tries to steal it"
"But Egg-Man hasn´t shown his ugly face around here in a long time"
"You're right, although it is suspicious that he hasn´t caused problems yet"
"Yeah, it must be up to something big"
Egg-Man´s Base:
"What have you found Bokun?" - Egg-Man said Bokun THROUGH a transmitter - "Nothing doctor, Tails is in nowhere" – Bokun answered
"Well, keep looking moron!"
"Why do you insist in looking for Tails doctor?" – asked Decoe
"Because that fox has an emerald with him, I need the 7 but it looks like Tails were swallowed by the earth"
"I do not think he could cause problems doctor" – Bocoe Wondered
"I have learned to not underestimate my enemies. And now with one element on his team,it will be easier to get rid of that annoying hedgehog, HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO! "
White Lightning, somewhere in the Galaxy (Do not ask me where):
Tails was in the lab analyzing the strange marks and words of the book they found before...
"This book contains a dialect I had never seen before, it isn´t in the database" - Tails thought While he reviewed the book, then R.A.M.P enters the lab...
"Master the reconfiguration of the Shield, the needles and the cloaking sistem is ... Are you seeing that book again?"
"Yes and I have not done anything yet, I have tried with all the possible dialects and excluding these strange names from the cover, I could not translate any more"
"But we came to this area to relax not in order to you break your head trying to figure out some scribbles of who knows how many years ago"
The tired fox then put the book back in its box and rubbed his eyelids with his fingers ...
"I think I'll play along with you, let´s go to the bridge"
... And then they went to the bridge…
"What was it you were saying when you came into the lab?"
"The requested adjustments were made"
"The configuration of the shield?"
"It was reinforced and the laser shield was installed as 2nd line of defense"
"Charging needles ?" (Tails)
"The adaptation was completed; we can use the shield trick without risking to explode"
"Camouflage ?"
"The new system was incorporated into the White Lightning and the other ships, it took a while to install it but everything is in its place"
On the bridge of RB:
"Well we just need to test the system, but Wer ..." – Tails couldn´t say more because he and R.A.M.P observed that all the droids on the bridge were forming a circle and ...
"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT" – Chanted the droids
"WHAT THE ...! , R.A.M.P!, Did you know about this? "
"Believe me, Master, I didn´t know "
"What!, You were supposed to be aware of those two crazy droids!"
"But you told me to direct the works on the ship, remember?"
"Oh, whatever. I'll put a stop to this "- Tails said before approaching droids in silence
Within the circle ... the pair of lunatics droids were threatening each other ...
Author's note: Yes I know this is repetitive but I need to fill the spaces with something
"Give me your best shot, nut brain"
"Watch it, rust bucket"
"WELL, THE ROUND IS OVER!" - Tails said as he appeared in the circle -
"The Master!" - They droids said seeing Tails while the other 2 plummeted to the ground
"Master, boss, we were o,o-only ..."
"Disobeying me, I told you I have no time to reprogram you, or you stop fighting or I´ll throw you into the nearest black hole, understood?!" – Tails screamed - "All right, show's over, return to your seats"
"And for you two ..." - Tails said as he watched the two droids with a look of anger - "Master we are approaching to another stellar system, what are your orders?" – A Navigator Droid said
"Seek the most peaceful planet where we can test the camouflage"
Planet Demarther, in the woods:
... Once in the planet, Tails and company went out the ship with the X-Tornado...
"What you have in your mind boss?" – A droid asked - "The cameras showed numerous settlements and there is one not so far from our position, we will use the X-Tornado to go unnoticed"
"Don´t you think seeing it or not, they will notice the engine noise?" - RAMP asked - "I know, but I adjusted the engines to not make noise as part of camouflage and also we will not pass above them" - Tails said with a toothy smile as he pressed a button on the control panel
Then ... the X-Tornado began to change, its boosters and its structure were reformed into the shape of a land vehicle ...
"Not bad but, no wheels?"
"Do not need them" - Tails said while the X-Tornado began to float - "I installed a magnetic flotation system that allows the X-Tornado to move on the ground without making a sound, they will not notice we're there. Move!
The planet was ... wild and wooded, villages and cities were located in open areas and valleys as in Scotland, but also had desert areas. The X-Tornado traveled between peoples no one noticed, and even caused a couple of scares villagers no more grievances ...
"Good, the camouflage works, the only bad thing was when we hit that wagon" – RAMP declared - "It was not my fault, the old woman came out of nowhere" –Tails said.
"Well, I say we get back before someone get trampled by us"
"You're right, we caused enough problems"
While returning to WL ... ...
"You know RAMP?, This place reminds me to Mobius" -Tails said wistfully- "Do you miss your home Master?" - R.A.M.P asked.
"A little"
Then a voice was heard among the trees, the X-Tornado stopped...
"Help!" (?)
"It´s like a child's voice" - R.A.M.P declared - "We better go to see"
... In fact, a girl, a little mouse to be exact wearing rags was fleeing with a bag in his hands, fleeing from someone in a motor vehicle...
"HA, HA, keep running, that won´t help you!"
The chaser cornered the girl to the base of a cliff...
"Why do not they leave us alone?" - The girl cried - "Because you belong to us" - the persecutor said as he pointed her with a gun.
"And why do not you pick on someone who can fight?" (?)
Both the girl ... and the chaser turned to the opposite side of the cliff and they saw the X-Tornado in terrestrial mode before them...
"What the ...?"
... And before he could say anything else the X-Tornado fired a laser and made the chaser vehicle exploded while he went down ...
"I'll give you five seconds to go 5, 4, 3 ..." - said the voice in the X-Tornado while pointing their guns to the chaser.
The chaser... just came out of there screaming, The X-Tornado approached to the terrified girl and when he stopped and opened the window Tails left there and went to her ...
"Are you okay?" - The girl said nothing, her face filled with tears as she ran to hug Tails, who confused just patted on the back. Tails and company sat beside her below the shade of a tree ...
"Thanks for help me" - the girl said shyly
"Don´t mention it, what's your name?"
"Vica"
"I am Tails"
"Tails?, Is a pretty name" - Vica said with a smile - "Uh, thanks. Tell me why that guy chased you? "
"By this" - Vica said as she opened the bag , inside there were many strange plants and seeds.
"What are these?"
"These are medicinal plants; I was bringing them to home when that Psycho attacked me. IT´S TRUE, I must take this back to home and fast " Vica said getting up quickly
"I can take you if you want" - Tails said modestly
"Really?, Thanks" - Vica thanked as she climbed into the X-Tornado with Tails and the droids - "What a nice car!" - Vica said while watching the control panel, sited in Tails´ lap
"Just stay still while I drive; just tell me ... Where is your city?"
Planet Demarther , Shírdem City , at the south of WL:
"Vica Where are you?. I should not let her go alone "
"They´re coming!" - Someone shouted as all the inhabitants ran in panic
"Oh no!, What want these bastards now?" - Said the gray mouse while walking to the entrance of the city
... Everyone who was the entrance saw a dust cloud approaching, when the cloud stopped , the1rst they saw was wnothing and then the X-Tornado appeared before them and opened the window ...
"Brother!" - Vica said while greeting over an X- Tornado´s Wing
"Sister!" - Said the gray mouse with relief as he ran to his sister.
... All came to see that Vica was safe, The people of shírdem were a variety of wild animals not only mice also bobcats, porcupines and other ...
"What happened and what is this thing?"
"I was being pursuit , but someone helped me"
"Who?"
... At that time Tails stands up inside the cabin and the droids went down along him from the X-Tornado and then helped Vica ...
"Who is he?" - the gray mouse asked pointing to Tails
"He´s Tails, who helped me" - Vica said while Tails greeted with a nervous smile
The mouse ... just looked at Tails with a dissatisfied, doubtful and suspicious expression...
"Well Tails, thanks for bringing my sister back, get out of here now!"
Vica and Tails ... it just looked confused ...
"But, brother ..."
Them they heard a voice ...
"That's not the way to treat our guests" (?)
When everyone turned ... saw the patriarch of the City, a pale gray mouse with a huge white beard ...
"Grandpa" (Vica / Grey a mouse)
"Grandpa?"
"Austin, do not you think it's impolite to talk like this to the person who brought your sister back in one piece?"
"Grandpa I ..."
At that time the patriarch began to feel ill, his grandchildren and the citizens bridged him to his home ...
Later ...
"You can see it but not scratch it OK?" - Said a droid to the citizens who came to see the X-Tornado that was out of the house of the patriarch
Tails was received by the patriarch in his home ...
"I hope I have not done something wrong sir" (Tails)
"Do not worry , you did the right thing those medicinal herbs were for me, my granddaughter was bringing them"
"What is your name?"
"I'm Criastor Thanks for helping my granddaughter"
" Criastor, why Vica´s brother told me to get out. I did or said something wrong?"
"No, a lot of things had happened here" (Criastor)
"I can ask what happened?" (Tails)
"It isn´t a nice story but ..., We have lived here since I can remember, we were always in communion with nature and nourishing without abusing it. We always lived peacefully with our neighboring cities, but peace is very fragile at times " – Criastor began to tell
"What happened to the city?"
"Two years ago our city was the center of knowledge and technology in this region, then city looked very different than how looks now. Our reputation was well known by all. Unfortunately also knew the FangBlood "
"FangBlood?" (Tails)
"They are a tribe of fierce warriors, their territories include almost all desert areas on this side of the region ,they are not very smart but what they lack in brains they compensate with force, they took all our scientists and technicians as their slaves and so they could expand beyond the desert , leaving many of our cities in ruins, they stripped us all, they made us forget our glory days and they were whom took away my grandchildren's parents
"I had no idea ..."
"The parents of my grandchildren were the first in their fields: their father Tharabin, was a prominent technical and scientific, Nibiru their mother was a great botanical and naturalist, they were the leaders of our city and when the FangBlood began to take the people they were the 1st to oppose them "
"But if they were so smart, how is possible that some block heads defeated them"
"We never wanted to use our knowledge to create weapons, but since the FangBlood began attacking Tharabin and Nibiru began gathering people to face them and created arms using poisonous plants" (Criastor)
"they killed them?!"
"Not they only paralyzed them, so is they captured many of them Unfortunately the FangBlood realized our traps and decided to attack us, arrived at midnight and threatened to kill our children if we don´t delivered them all. We gave them what we had but not content with that, also took ... Nibiru ... and my son "- Criastor concluded as a tear fell from his face)
"I'm ... sorry ... sir" – Tails said quietly
"Vica was 3 years old at that time so she does not remember anything, but Austin had watched helplessly as their parents were took as prisoners, so he do not trust on strangers since he was 7 years old. Before you got here there were many who stopped here but left only false promises of help "
"Have not tried to call for help?" – Tails asked
"Yes, there are many cities in the region who heard from FangBlood attacks and when they heard of the fall of Shírdem, they began strengthening their defenses and have managed to be safe, we tried to send messengers but they were always discovered and never we have seen them again. Those bastards #$% $ # "%% # have become smart with the time"
Tails ... just stared with eyes wide open ...
"Oh ... sorry I said that obscenity in front of you"
"Do not apologize, It´s Understandable, I've heard worse things during the periods of war back at my home"
"Anyway thanks for bringing my granddaughter"
"You're welcome, and how have survived all this time?"
"We survived thanks to the old ways of agriculture, hunting, fishing, of course without abusing nature, life is not great but we're comfortable with that"
Then Vica enters the room ...
"Are you okay grandpa?"
"Yes Vica, thanks. By the way why don´t you take a walk with Tails "- Criastor suggested.
"Yes, Let´s go Tails!" - Vica said as he pulled his arm
"Vica ... Hey wait!" - Tails said while Vica took him out Criastor was with them
Exiting the house Tails saw a horde of children playing near the X-Tornado, RAMP and the droids were surrounded not knowing what to do ...
"What happened?" - Tails asked to the droids with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face trying to not burst out laughing
"Master, they came out of nowhere!"
"They came in waves and we could not do anything!"
"They are over the whole plane and ... on me, HEY DON´T TOUCH THE PANEL" - RAMP said removing one of the children upon him
"This generation of children was born before FangBlood invaded our city, therefore they know nothing about technology and it seems that your plane like them" - Criastor said with a funny grin
"Yes I guess, RAMP don´t let them damage anything while I'm out"
"What ,you will leave us here?"
"They're just kids, I don´t think they are going to hurt you. Just do not let them enter the plane "
"MASTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER" – R.A.M.P could only scream in frustration while he saw Tails and Vica going to the center
Vica and Tails were walking around the city and despite its situation, he felt it was a very live place, Tails and Vica stopped at a fruit and vegetable store, and Vica offered a fruit like grape...
"Please try it"
Tails ate the fruit and his mouth pursed as he seemed to choke and grimacing ...
"Ah, I'm sorry that wasn't ripe"
... Then they stopped at a fish store, Tails watched dubiously as he poked a strip of flesh that hung in front of him ...
"What are these ... things?"
"Eel River, freshly caught" - Then the seller ... put a live eel on the table and dropped it with a ax, which made Tails face turned blue in Fear ...
"And you're going to be standing with stupid face or you ´re going to try it?"
"I think I ... pass" – and saying that Tails and Vica went to other place.
So they went from place to place, wherever they were , always Tails suffered and/or saw something ugly:
-In the blacksmith one of their tails was burned by mistake.
-In the carpentry a piece of wood hit him in the forehead.
-And two people were fighting in the street, When he passed by with Vica one of them struck him in the face and blackened him an eye and knocked him out.
Finally they decided to return Vica´s Home…
"I'm so sorry about what happened to you, I wanted to show the beauty of the city, but you only ended with bumps, burns and bruises" – Vica said seeing Tails with a black eye, a tail burned and his head bandaged
"Do not worry it was not your fault, in fact your city is very Full of life"
When they saw ... RAMP and company were like disconnected as they lay on the floor beside the X-Tornado ...
"R.A.M.P, What happened?"
"Boss it was ... horrible, HORRBLEEEEE. There were so many kids that we could not move, they came over and they buried us "
"Fortunately his parents came and took them in the afternoon"
"We were so downloaded it had no choice but to crumple here"
"Well at least the X-Tornado is intact" -
"WHAT WITH US?!"
"Do not tell me a group of children was too much for you" - Tails said with a raised eyebrow and a small smile.
... And with a heavy sigh Tails pulled 3 huge plugs from the X-Tornado and connected them to the droids and RAMP in order to receive some charge, then they entered at Vica grandfather's house ...
"I see you spent a bad time Tails"
"Yes, something like that"
"Grandpa, Do not you seen my brother?"
"No, I have not seen since you left"
At that time Austin enters the house ...
"Brother!"
"YOU, Take your vehicle and your minions and leave this town, leave us alone!" - Austin shouted angrily.
"AUSTIN!, Do not be so rude. Tails is a good boy " – Criastor said to his angry grandson
"He will bring only problems, he should not be here"
"Brother do not say that!"
"Your sister is right, If Tails weren´t here, VICA WOULD BE DEAD!"
"WAIT!" - Tails shouted
"I don´t know what kind of problems Austin says I can cause, but I won´t stay to find it out. Thanks for your hospitality but I've spent much time here and I must continue my path "- and with nothing more to say Tails left the house. But Vica follow him - "Tails Wait!"
"That's not what I taught you, you think that all foreigners are bad, what do you believe your parents would think of you if they saw you acting like you did?"
"Grandpa I´m just trying to protect my sister, you and she are all I have left"
"I understand how do you feel, but you must understand that sometimes we must accept help from whoever offers us without asking for anything"
Outside the house:
"Tails do not go" -Vica said while holding Tails arm.
"Vica, I want to stay a little longer but obviously doesn´t like your brother and do not want to be a nuisance"
... Then he heard someone scream ...
"THEY´RE COMING, THIS TIME IS TRUE, THEY´RE COMING!" (?)
"What the hell's going on?"
Austin and Criastor left the house after hear the scream ...
"What is happening?" -Criastor asked - "I don´t know"
At that moment the droids and RAMP rose from the ground, recharged completely ...
"Ah need that, eh? Why are they running? "
The people hid and ran with expressions of fear in their faces, then in the X-Tornado RAMP hear an alarm ...
"Is there anybody there?" -They heard the voice of one of the droids on the Transmitter
"Here R.A.M.P, what happens?"
"As we tried to locate you, we´ve detect numerous units going to your location"
"What!"
"Master, Master!" - RAMP shouted as he ran toward Tails
"Have you recharged?"
"I received a call from the White Lightning, a large number of hostile units are heading this way"
"Are you sure? '"
"Yes! I was even able to confirm it with the radar of the X -Tornado "
"The ... Fang Blood" - Austin said in worried tone
"Tails you must go now, if they find you here, I don´t know what can they do to you" – Criastor warned
"We will deal with them, now go "
And with that Criastor and Austin headed to the northern entrance of the city while Tails and company returned to the X-Tornado ...
"Master we must get out of here" - RAMP whispered
"We cannot leave yet, active camouflage and go to the north gate" -Tails said while the X-Tornado faded
Shírdem City, north gate:
In the city´s north gate everyone watched numerous vehicles approaching, fear and uncertainty were notorious; The FangBlood came to town, a group of evil beasts coyotes, hyenas, weasels and other dangerous predators. One of them was the who had persecuted Vica, got out of his vehicle, had the look of a hyena very thin and scruffy ...
"Where is the old man?!" (?)
"What do you want now?" - Criastor said as he left the crowd, while Austin and stayed hidden Vica
"I'm Trybor, I come looking for your granddaughter"
"What do you want with Vica?" - Criastor asked frightened at the name of his granddaughter.
Tails and company were watching from above of a house hidden by the camouflage ...
"That's the crazy girl chasing the Boss" – RAMP said
"Yes I did not know, he was so ugly"
"Your granddaughter refused to deliver me the herbs she had, also you are giving shelter to a stranger, the owner of vehicle who attacked me and I detected that the smell comes through here"
"You cannot take away anything that is not part of the tribute and that stranger left long ago"
"LIE"
While Criastor was arguing with Trybor, Tails and R.A.M.P whispered to not be heard...
"RAMP we have to do something"
"But we are going to only make things worse"
"We already did it, they´re looking for us and the citizens will suffer if we were not doing anything. Contact the WL "
"I told you the estranger is not here! '" –Criastor said again
"To be an elder you have a big mouth" –and then Trybor punched Criastor making him fall.
"Grandpa!" - Vica and Austin shouted as they ran to his grandfather
"And you,we have a score to settle" - Trybor said as he pulled Vica´s arm
"Leave her alone!"
"Shoot me if you want, but please leave my grandchildren alone"
"Shut up" -Trybor shouted as he placed his foot on Criastor
"LET THIS SERVE YOU AS EXAMPLE!" –Trybor said while pointing to Criastor with a gun.
The scene was tense, all looked helpless as they were going to see the death of their patriarch and Trybor was about to shoot, when a burst of energy came out of nowhere and hit Trybor knocking him and destroying his weapon, Vica ran to his grandfather ...
"Who the hell ...!"
... Then a rain of laser blasts fell on FangBlood and immersed in panic they fled toward the wilderness ...
"Come back you cowards!" - Trybor shouted as he watched his companions flee
In that moment the X-Tornado in battle mode floated menacingly upon Criastor and company, then grabbed Trybor with one arm then the cabin opened showing Tails ...
"I told you before and I'll say it again, why not pick on someone who can fight?"- Tails said with a grin.
" YOU?!, But you're just a kid"
"And you are a bunch of opportunistic parasites, You better go otherwise I´ll squeeze you until get all your filling out" -Tails said while the X-Tornado threw to Trybor to out of town
"You will pay dearly for this boldness, this whole village will burn and you will be the first to die" - Trybor said to Tails before leaving on his vehicle
After the shock the X-Tornado landed in front of Criastor and all came close. Tails came and helped Criastor...
"Thanks for helping" - Criastor thanked but …
"HELPING, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HELPING?!, Only made the things worse, because of you now all FangBlood will come to shatter us"
"AUSTIN SHUT!" -Vica screamed with anger
"Vica ..."
"How can you be so mean?! , If Tails weren´t her grandpa would be ... it would be "- Vica said while crying crestfallen
"Why did not you go Tails" – Criastor asked
"I needed to know why you are so afraid of the FangBlood, plus I would never be in peace with myself if I left. You were willing to die for helping a stranger, no ... I will never live with a guilt like that "- Tails said in a calm and solemn tone
"What do we do? / What will happen to us? / We are going to die!" - Those were the things that the people murmured
"Please listen, I am the cause of what happened and what is about to happen, so I will help in the defense of the city"
"Defend the city by yourself?, Would be easier for you to learn to fly without a plane"
Tails ... just grimaced and whirled his tails while he briefly rose from the ground, everyone was surprised and Austin remained in silence ...
"Well ... I take back what I said, either way you cannot fight alone against all of them "
"Yes, but did not come alone R.A.M.P tell them to turn off the camouflage "
"O.K"
"What do you want ... to say…?"
... But before he finished speaking White Lightning appeared upon the city, everyone was shocked at such stunning view ...
"But anyway, I need your help" (Tails)
"You think to use us as pawns?!, You're not a general you're just another idiot trying to satisfy his ego"
"You're wrong Austin, it's not cause you say"
"Then why?"
"Because I know what you are suffering, I know what is someone abuse of your rights, I know what is someone take advantage of you, because that I suffer the same at home, but a friend taught me that no matter what, oneself should not let be trampled by anyone. The scale is small in comparison but the problem is the same"
"So you will help me?" - Tails asked the population for a while was silent, but then
"Count with me" –Vica said
"And with me" (?)
"And with me" (?)
"And with me" (?)
"You're fools" - Austin said as he left
"Well all agree, but we do if they send spies or do something before us" - Criastor asked
"I thought on something, get closer and listen carefully ..."
Planet Demarther, Bastion FangBlood, in the northern desert of Shírdem:
... The group that was sent by Tails and Vica returns ...
"That two-tailed weakling is going to pay " – Trybor complained
... What the group did not know is that their leader was waiting them ...
"You have failed me imbeciles" -Said a red coyote and burly, disheveled huge fangs, a bad attitude and one eyed)
"Ha-Ha-Haldor sir I ..."
"I cannot believe you came back empty handed again"
"It was not our fault, this guy stepped in and ..." -Trybor tried to explain but Haldor shot between his feet making him collapse from the shock
"We cannot let them rise against us. They are weaker but if they stand against us , the other cities will follow them and we will lose our slaves
"Why, they won´t fear us anymore?"
"No, because they won´t fear to die and if they die lose the support of our guests" - Haldor said maliciously while giving a strong stomp on the ground
"So we have to give them a lesson, let me lead an attack on Shírdem"
"Yes, that will put them in their place, but what you´ll do will be to find the stranger that you mentioned and you will execute him before all of them as a reminder of what happens to those who oppose us"
"Yes sir, I will make the attack at midnight"
Shírdem City, 6 hours before the attack:
... Everyone was following Tails´ orders to prepare the defenses of the city ...
"What we must do is avoid suspicion" – Tails said to everyone
"And how do we do that?" – asked Vica
"My ship will create the illusion that the city remains unchanged and my droids will be patrolling the area with a group of citizens"
At that time ... a holographic blanket fell down over all Shírdem fading all traces of activity, a time after a FangBlood spy came to the city a reconnaissance mission on the outskirts of the city ...
"Hmm there seems to be no sign of any activity or the strange vehicle"
Then he observed a group of citizens entering the with a group of droids ...
"What's that?" -Said the spy as he approached
Passed the holographic wall he saw the WL hovering over the city ...
"I must warn Haldor"
But before he could move, an electric charge hit him…
"Not if we knock you first, take him away" -RAMP said to the citizens with his claw Tazer activated.
"We need to disable them, any ideas?" – Tails asked to the citizens
"I know where the paralyzing plants grow " - said a porcupine
"Well that will serve, Let us get moving that the sun light will fade soon" -Tails said as he clapped his hands.
Far away ...an upset Austin observes Tails as he led the others ...
"I cannot believe that they are paying attention to that moron"
"If by silly you mean that motivates people to keep going, because if it's a huuuge fool" -Criastor said as he approached Austin
"Grandpa"
"Look at him, he is not like the others who have come here"
"How do you know that there is another opportunistic as those who have come before?"
"Well to begin hadnot bothered to help, he could leave but instead he stayed to fight alongside us, and if he was a coward hadnot bothered to bring Vica either "
Austin ... just stood in silence and left without saying anything, Criastor just watched him worriedly; Throughout the afternoon and into the night were setting traps: networks, ditches with spikes, and other net traps all of them covered with paralyzing venom, citizens used as a weapon all they could get sticks, spears, clubs with nails. Once everything was in place Tails addressed the population to give final instructions ...
"All traps are in place?" –Tails asked)
"Prepared and ready"
"Does everyone have their weapons?"
... The citizens raised their weapons in affirmation ...
"Do you all know the routine?"
"Yes" (All)
"How do we face laser guns?" (?)
All ... at that time began to mutter nervously ...
"Hey, Hey, HEEEEEEEEEEEEYY!. I prepared a backup plan for that. Listen I´ll not force you to do this, I know many of you would prefer flee, but seriously? You want to live forever, fearing those brutes?, you know something, they would be nothing and would starve without you, they´re just be a ball of troglodytes. Remember why you are fighting for, you are fighting for you,you are fighting for your families,for your friends, YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR HOME, FOR THE RIGHT TO LIVE A PEACEFUL LIFE! . A defeat would mean having to live under this yoke by the rest of yours days, but a VICTORY will ensure a bright future for you and your family, and when you are old and tired you´ll remember this day as the day you shouted all together:WE ARE THE SLAVES OF NOBODY AND WE WILL NEVER BE SLAVES AGAIN!. So are you with me ...? "
... For a moment there was silence what made Tails be slightly disapointed, but after a while ...
(Rad'am'sa = Freedom)
"Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa" (someones said and then ...)
"Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa!, Rad'am'sa" (All)
This encouraged Tails ... who was raised in the air and screamed their lungs: "ARE YOU WITH ME?!"
"YEEEEEEEES!" (All)
"Then all to your places, the enemy will be here any moment!"
"Master ... that was very inspiring, I´ve never seen you like this" -RAMP said approaching Tails
"I am also surprised , I just said the 1rst thing what came to my mind, but maybe it's because they remind me the 1st Robotnick war period, back there in Mobius. RAMP I need you and the droids give us air support "
"Do not worry Master"
... the FangBlood army approached to the city heavily armed, Trybor was leading the soldiers ...
"Remember to look at the phenomenon of two tails and bring him to me, we rip his skin in front everyone, in order to those weaklings don´t even think to reveal against us "
... When they arrived the city were surrounded , the Fang Blood were breaking everywhere, but as they walked in, they did not see anything or anyone, the city was deserted ...
"Where is everyone?" – Trybor asked to his soldiers - "Maybe they fled"
"Look everywhere, in trees, in houses, do not leave a stone unturned"
... the FangBlood looked for the entire city but they found nothing and when they reached the city center they found their spy gagged and hung upside down from a pole ...
"Hey, Come to see!"
"What the ...?!" -Trybor said as he removed the bandage from the mouth to FangBlood piñata
"IT'S A TRAP!"
"HUH?! "
... Then a swarm of electromagnetic blasts showered upon them , disabling their weapons and destroying their vehicles ...
"AMBUSH!" – was the only thing Trybor could say to his soldiers amongst the chaos
... When the rain stopped, cargo ships began to descend and as they came down to shírdem the citizens fired a hail of poisoned darts and arrows, and although FangBlood vests were able to resist swords or laser attacks, darts and arrows were strong enough to drill them and poison them. The soldiers fell almost instantly, then the soldiers what were out came as reinforcements but the trenches were opened and fell where small barbs and spikes immobilized them, people came out from under the houses with a poisoned spear and other weapons ...
"Impossible, these miserable are winning!"
"The only miserable here are you!" - Tails said while descending in a spiral towards Trybor and beat him with a small stone mallet.
The coup not only collapsed Trybor but also hurt him, splitting his mouth and causing him to drooling blood ...
"BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!" – and so with Vulip cides intentions, Trybor lunged to tails…
"I think he became angry"
... In other parts of the city the citizens and the droids fought against the FangBlood using what the had, unlike the beasts that use brute force when they have their weapons, and evading shírdemses the guided towards their traps or ambushes ...
Returning with Tails ... ...
Enraged Trybor screamed as she tried to catch Tails - "Stay ... still!"
"In order to let you rip off my fur?, No thanks!"
…But Tails get careless for a moment, Trybor managed to grab him by the leg and slammed him to the ground, Tails was stunned by the blow and let down his mallet. Trybor took the mellet and headed to Tails ...
"Ow, my head ..."
"Now it's my turn to kick your ass!" - But ... Just before Trybor gave the coup de grace, Austin is slid hung from a rope to Trybor and pushes him crashing into the wall of a house ...
"Austin?!"
"You may be a nerd, but you're lousy fighter" -Austin said as he helped her up Tails.
"You´re supposed to hate me"
"Yes I hate you, but I love the idea of crush these jerks"
"So, will you help me?"
Austin ... just nodded with a smile on his face ...
The FangBlood in shírdem slowly were defeated that were still standing were captured in ditches and tose who weren´t captured, fled terrified toward the wilderness; While RAMP and the droids were attacking from the sky in the south gate, the other droids helped them to the shírdem citizens in the other two gates. Trybor rose from the ground stunned and took advantage of the chaos of battle and dissapeared, and when the last of the FangBlood fell into the hands of a double hit by Tails and Austin, all shírdem let out a scream of victory,they had done the impossible. But their joy did not last long, Criastor approached them very worried ...
"Tails, Austin!"
"What happened Grandpa?"
"It´s ... Vica, I cannot find her anywhere"
"You´re looking for this?" (?)
Then Trybor jumped over them in a vehicle that survived the bombing (Do not ask me how) with Vica tied and unconscious ...
"Maybe you get the victory, but I get her!" - Trybor shouted as he cackled
"Vica!" (Austin / Criastor)
Tails took off and followed the vehicle but it was very fast and difficult to reach and he began to panting from fatigue
"I cannot go after them"
Tails launched a tracker from his communicator what adhered to the vehicle, Trybor left the city cackling...
"Come back here!"
Tails didn´t pay attention and hit a fence and crashed, tumbling to the ground with his eyes whirling...; Austin growled while trembling and fell to his knees with frustration and anger
"It ... cannot be. First my parents and now... my sister, those bastards"
"Now I´ll know where they hide" - Tails said as he stood and watched the radar of his communicator, then he contacted R.A.M.P
"RAMP"
"Yes?"
"Report with the X-Tornado in the city center IMMEDIATELY!"
Shírdem City, City Center:
Tails gathered many of the citizens who were still standing to form a group to bring back Vica along with a group of heavy cargo droids ...
"Do you really think going?"
"I must , I cannot leave her in the clutches of those brutes"
"Well listen up! , You will go with me to attack the FangBlood fortress. You were chosen by be those who are in better physical shape. According to the tracker the bastion of FangBlood is in the wilderness that is north of the city, which will be a sneak attack and ... "- then a citizen , a lynx interrupted Tails
"We haven´t how to deal with their rifles and stuff, what are we to do?"
"Good question, RAAAAMP THE WEAPONS!"
"Do not shout, I´m here here" - RAMP said as he and other droids approached with a lot of guns
"These are the weapons that FangBlood left in today's attack in the afternoon, we took the liberty of altering them that if we needed. Get closer and take a weapon "- RAMP said while the others approached
"All of you, get in the cargo ships ,I´ll explain you the offensive tactic before the attack" – and when all were ready to leave, Austin approached - "WAIT!, ... I'm coming"
"Austin, are you sure?"
"I don´t not think you should ..." - said a bear within the group but ...- "Listen to me!, These beasts took my parents the last time!, And ... I could not do anything, I will not let my sister suffer the same fate!"
"Austin, I honestly don´t think ..."
"Tails please ... is my sister" - Austin said while a tear looked out of his eye
Tails just stared ... and with a big sigh ...
"Hmm, okay. R.A.M.P How many rifles do we have left? "
"Just 2"
Tails ... took them and gave one to Austin ...
"Here, go with me. The rest aboard the ships, RAMP I need you stay here in case the FangBlood decide to return "
"Master, what do we do with the …prisoners?" - RAMP said pointing to the pile of FangBloods they were still paralyzed and being chained by the droids and citizens
"What they decide, just do not let them lynch the fangBlood" - Tails Whispered
"Soon the dawn will arrive, we must hurry" -Tails said while everyone boarded the ships, and Austin went to X-Tornado.
... The people watched as the cargo ships followed the X-tornado to the desert, Criastor and RAMP watch them go...
"Good luck, Master"
Planet Demarther, main desert:
...The dawn is almost here, the ships landed on a plateau near the FangBlood stronghold. Tails and company discussed their next move ...
"Well now, what do we do?"
"I´ll fly upon the structure without being detected to know where Vica is and then ..."
"Master"
"Tails, come quickly"
... When Tails and others gathered to watch ...
"Those are ..."
"... FangBloods"
... Indeed, this was a group of stragglers who managed to escape in the last battle ...
"They go to the bastion. How did they to walk across the desert without getting tired? "– Tails wondered but one of the citizens had another plans - "I do not know, but they will not get in there" -and the lynx as prepared to shoot the stragglers
"NOOOO!" -Tails shouted as he lunged towards the lynx - "But what's wrong?"
"The rifles aren´t long range; if you shoot them, you will reveal our position"
"Do not you think you´ve revealed our position with that scream you made?"
"No" -Tails said as becoming the other way
"So?"
"We will wait to they enter the stronghold and then proceed with the plan"
Inside the Bastion (Note: Bastion has the form of a metal dome with the top open if there is confusion later):
"7 stragglers open the doors" – said a guard, the doors opened ... and the group came in ...
"What the hell happened to you?"
"We ambushed"
"Where?"
"Shir ... dem"
"I don´t believe you. That city is the weakest, and you´re the 2nd returning from there "(FB Guard # 1)
"How come we're the latter, whom were the first?"
"I´M the first!" (?)
... then they saw Trybor walking down a ladder ...
"Trybor coward, you left us in battle!"
"What I left you?! , You left with you tails between your legs and left me unconscious "
"Yes and you get knocked by a little boy"
Saying this all the FangBlood present burst of laughter to the expression of Trybor who grinded his teeth, but then they heard Haldor ...
"NEVER MIND WHO FLED!, You all have failed me!"
"You were supposed to give them a lesson but you were beaten by them, don´t you have pride?!" -Haldor said as he shot one of the stragglers between their feet causing it to fall
"Ha Ha, they deserve by cowards" – Trybor mock of his companions but Haldor grab him by the neck…
"And you, you stupid and poorly executed attack, it took me over half of my soldiers" – Haldor screamed him while crushed his neck. After a while ...
"The attack wasn´t ... poorly executed, what happened ... is that ... we do not expect the type of defenses they prepared against us" - Trybor coughed trying to catch his breath
"Defenses?"
"Yes, the two-tailed clown helped them, but I did not come empty handed" -and maliciously Trybor removed a blanket covering a cage within which was Vica, unconscious.
"And what do you expect to gain by bringing this girl here?"
They did not know that Tails was watching them from the sky ...
"Bastards, Here Tails Are you ready?" -Tails said over the comm.
"We´re waiting your orders master"
"Execute the plan after see the explosions"
... Back with Trybor...
"By follow her , I meet the fox. I'll settle the scores with her when she wake up , and they will not find us" (said very confident Trybor)
"IS THAT SO?!, GUESS AGAIN!" (?)
Then the X-Tornado appeared upon them, attacking and making explode several structures within the bastion ...
"MORON, YOU LEFT HIM FOLLOW YOU!" (
Outside the Bastion ...
"That's the signal!"
"Let´s go!"
While the FangBlood tried unsuccessfully to overthrow the X-Tornado, cargo ships and cargo droids blew apart the front door ...
"INVASION!"
While the droids and the crew made their way with their weapons, Austin looked for his sister desperately...
"Vica where are you?!"
Then ... the X-Tornado landed in earth mode between Vica´s Cage, Austin ran to see his sister ...
"Vica, spoke to me please!" -Austin said with concern as he grabbed the bars of the cage
"Austin get back!" -Tails shouted as he blasted the lid of the cage with a shot.
"BEWARE IDIOT!"
When the lid fell down Vica began to awaken ...
"Where, where am I?"
"You're safe now sister" - Austin said with tears in his eyes and with a tone of relief
"Austin get her out of there we have to ... OH NO!" – His radar showed a large number of units approaching quickly
"Master we have company!"
"I KNOW, Secure the entrances and fight back, you call and tell RAMP send reinforcements"
...
"All ships open fire!" – with that the cargo droids and other citizens droids opened fire on the units that were coming, and though they got rid of the first had some more on the way
"Come on Vica, you're almost there ..." – Austin said as he helped Vica to get out of the cage
Vica made it to the top of the cage and jumped to Austin caught her but somebody pass over them, catching her ...
"What!"
"Hey, are you seeking this?" - Haldor screamed while holding Vica
"Brother!"
"Leave her alone!"
...Haldor ran with Vica in his arms ...
"It can´t be, You take control of the X-Tornado, and help to protect the entrance!" - Tails said as he took his rifle and went out to chase Haldor
Droids and its allies tried to prevent FangBlood regain their bastion, but they managed to cross the barricade and had to deal with them, but some aerial fighters from the X-Tornado came to help them ...
… Tails followed Haldor until the main tower ...
"Let her go, what you want with her?" – Tails asked to Haldor who was holding a terrified Vica - "This girl is the reason why we have been attacked, I must congratulate you"
"Congratulate us?"
"Yes. You repelled the invasion, you came here and destroyed my base, you know you're acting almost like the parents of this child "- Haldor said as he growled on Vica's ear which made her cry in fear and made Tails anger
"What did you do to them? '"
"Nothing, they are working for us but never will know"
"Why are they doing this? "
"It's survival of the strongest"
"SURVIVE TO THIS!" (?)
Then they saw Austin coming out from nowhere hitting Haldor with his rifle, holding his head and freeing Vica …
"Arg, leave me alone!"
Vica got up and ran into the arms of Tails still shaking and crying ...
"Tails ... I'm sorry, I ..."
"Do not worry, now we have to help your brother" - Tails said as they saw both Austin stuck to Haldor as a tick.
"GET OUT!" - Haldor said while throwing down Austin
"Austin!"
"Brother!"
"That gorilla is strong" -Austin growled as he stood up
"Where you come from?"
"I follow you, you fly too fast"
"If you have finished talking, I'll cut you in into slices!" – Then Halor pull out a huge saber towards Tails who responded with his rifle - "I'm going to blow you up!"
But Haldor was very fast and cut the rifle with his sword ...
"What ... He cut it"
Haldor then Tails attacked causing a wound to thin his cheste and knocking him ...
"You were a great general and warrior, I wish you worked for me, but your time has come!" – And just before Haldor gave the final blow ,Austin got in the way of the saber and took the hit, then he used his rifle pushing Haldor to the edge of the tower and his sword went violently out of Austin, who fell in a pool of blood ,Vica ... Tails and horrified saw the scene ...
"BROTHER!" -Vica shouted as she and Tails runned to Austin
"Austin!, Austin!, Please Talk"
"He deserves it for meddler" - Haldor said as she stood up.
"YOU!"
"That boy is a fool" – What Haldor said made Tails tremble with anger - "Fool?, He hates me and he protected me"
Haldor just stared ... ...
"He and his people have had to live with fear, you believe that they are worthless but they have more courage and spirit than you believe. YOU ARE WORTHLESS! "- and with that Tails´s body began to glow
"THIS ENDS NOW!" -then his voice became deep and he was surrounded by an explosion of light
... The light was so bright that everyone stopped fighting because they were blinded, Tails bright then turned blue while the wound on his chest began to heal, his bandages were falling, and his tail was restored and his black eye became normal... (If do not know the why of the other eye read back) ...
"What the hell is happening?"
... The look in Tails´ eyes changed, It wasn't hate was a cold stare, then a silhouette Blue rose behind Tails, both raised their hands against Haldor and launched a blue plasma blast that broke the edge of the tower and made that Haldor fall, Before this Tails returned back to normal (without the brightness or silhouette) ...
"Take my hand" -Tails said to Haldor who hung on one hand, but Haldor´s pride was stronger…
"Never, I would rather die than get help from someone like you"
Haldor tried to hit Tails with his sword,but instead of hitting Tails, hit his hand that was holding making himself fall, all watched how his own weapon stroke him after hit the ground…
"This can be / is impossible" (what was whispered the FangBlood)
"Haldor DIED, RUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"
... All the FangBlood left terrified, well at least those who were standing, The Shírdem citizens celebrated the victory, after so long, they were free at Tails was called by the crying of Vica ...
"Brother please wake up!"
"Austin!, Austin!"
"Vi ... ca, is alright?"
"Imbecile, you are supposed to hate me. Why did you do that? '"
"Everything happened so ... fast ..., AH!, Well ... I'd say you started ... to like me"
"What?" (Tails)
"Grandpa ... he was right ... ... you helped us when no one else ... did. And also ... my sister like you too ... "
"Do not talk" - but Austin Colappsed….
"No, do not leave me brother!"
"No, DARN IT!" - Tails said as he hit the ground with his fist
Talis then noticed something odd, his gloves emitted a faint glow and when he removed them his hands were wrapped in greenish blue blow...
"Put your hands together, seal the wound, restore his energy" -said a voice in Tails 'mind.
... Following the voice´s instructions, Tails covered Austin´s wound with his hands and an intense brightness was seen under his palms. When the bright ceased the wound was gone, as if nothing had never happened...
"Master!" (?)
... When Tails turned back to see, He saw the X-Tornado and the other 2 Vehicles; Vica and Austin were brought back to the city, while Tails descended from the tower...
"What the hell happened up there?!"
"That does not matter now, help me to check the place"
Shírdem City:
Citizens did the count of the damage, no loss only some people hurt, and RAMP was checking Austin ...
"Well, apart from that ugly bruise you're okay"
"That's a relief" – Criastor said
"They´ve returned!" -someone yelled out
... All came out to give the welcome to the newcomers, Criastor began to interrogate the lynx...
"What happened?"
"Well, first Haldor longer exists"
"Haldor?"
"He is the leader of the FangBlood" (Austin)
"You want to mean, HE WAS" -Vica said with disgust remembering what happened
"And we brought you a surprise!" - Tails screamed from the X-Tornado
... Then all the citizens who were the bastion left the ships, but behind them...
"No ... I can´t believe it"
"Ha, Ha, well, believe it grandpa!"
"We had to send for more ships but it worth the extra work!" - Tails shouted from the X-Tornado
... Many of those who were rescued were from Shírdem so they were greeted by their families ...
"How do you find them?" – Criastor asked to the lynx - "We found them in an underground complex under the main bastion, started looking after Austin and Vica were brought back"
"But where are they?" -Austin said as he searched desperately through the crowd of people.
Suddenly ... a couple approached him, a brown mouse and a gray mouse between 25 and 32 years old, by see them Austin froze but then launched into the arms of the couple with a huge smile, the couple of mice returned the gesture, Vica and Criastor curiously observed the scene ...
"Grandpa, Who are they?"
But Criastor ... said nothing just approached the couple and Austin .When the broke the embrace...
"Son ... It is ...You?" – The old mouse asked to the brown one - "Yes dad, I Am"
... If you readers did not realize, those are the parents of Austin and Vica, there are lots of hugs, I know, and if it's something corny but after all the drama and the blood of before, it was time to turn down the fire do not you think? ...
"Ha, Ha, Ha, My boy has returned at last!" -Criastor said happily as she gave a good squeeze to his son Tharabin - "Dad let me go, I'm all filthy!"
"So ... you guys are my parents?" - Vica asked as she approached to them, Niburi saw her and hug her daughter - "Vica, my girl!"
Vica 's eyes lit up as she returned the gesture to his mother RAMP And Tails saw this from afar ...
"RAMP seeing this now makes it worth everything we done here"
"Well, all ended well, but aster where did you get that scar?"
"That ... was just an accident ..." (Tails)
"Yes but that gives you tough guy style, I think you look good"
... After all the other prisoners on the ships were returned to their respective cities and villages, the cargo ships were slowly leaving the city and when Tails and Company were preparing to board the X-Tornado...
"Oh no, stay still there!"
"Warn when you do that Austin!"- Tails said who was a little frightened - "You're not leaving, without saying goodbye"
"I had said that to him" – R.A.M.P said but… - "YOU SHUT UP!"
"Come on Tails, Mom and Dad still do not know you" - Vica said as she and Austin drag Tails from his arms
"SWEET! Partners in crime. You two come and help! "-RAMP said as he and others droids helped drag Tails.
"Hey … wait. WHOA! "
... While Tharabin and Nibiru talked with Criastor...
"It's good to be in home, now that the FangBlood haven´t a leader. We will rebuild our cities and villages with what we brought to our home from their base and we will not ever fear them"
"By the way Grandpa, how was that we rescued?"
"We had some help"
"Who?" (Thárabin / Nibiru)
Criastor ... just pointed behind his son and the three saw as Tails was been draged towards them ...
"Now let me go!" - Tails said as he fell in front of Criastor and company
"You must be Tails, we have said good things about you" – Tharabin sais with a smirk on his face
"He he, nice to meet you" - Tails said giggling nerviously
"It seems you were trying to sneak out, we just want to thank you for your help,why you triyied to scape?" -Nibiru asked
"Well I don´t like to seem like a guy ...well you know ..." -Tails said as he didn´t know what to say.
"But everyone deserves recognition for the good they do"
"But I always tell him... WHAT?, I'm not lying!"
"Your friend is right, at least accept this as a small token of our appreciation" – then Tharabin gave Tails a little necklace
"Thank you, what is?"
"It is an amulet, it will give you good luck"
"Thank you" -Tails said as he used the necklace.
... Once all the ships were within the WL, Tails was prepared to leave Demarther...
"Well it was nice meeting you"
"You really have to go?"
"Yes Vica, I have many things to do"
"Anyway thanks for everything" -Austin said shaking hands with Tails.
"Tails, before you go tell me something" –Vica asked while Tails bowed to hear her - "What?"
"What you did before in the Tower, was one of your tricks?"
"Huh, yeah!, Hehe, was one of my tricks"
"Thank you" -Vica said as she gave Tails a kiss on the cheek. Tails only embarrassed while laughing nervously ...
... Everyone in Shírdem said goodbye, while the WL disappearing into the clouds, in the ship´s bridge Tails pondered the strange event in the FangBlood Bastion ...
"I do not understand, with this are three times"
"Master, are you okay?"
"Hu, Yes R.A.M.P, I'm okay, just a little confused."
... While White Lightning leave the planet´s orbit a familiar voice echoed in space ...
"The young fox has begun to discover his own powers and soon he must master them, each new event will encourage him to continue, I just hope he hurry before it's too late" (?)
