Chapter 11 (AU): A new path
Tails was alone, meditating on the recent events while in his right hand he held the necklace that now had black and white colors. How was it possible that he lost his powers in that way? And even more important, why Seledrin did not warn him about that? Maybe he never know but the important thing now was to keep moving forward ...
"... But how am I going to do it?" - He looked at the necklace and then looked at an image of the X-tornado that was in his room, necklace, X-Tornado, necklace, X-Tornado and then ...
"That's it…!"
White Lightning, Sickbay:
"Well Mistress besides the fatigue and the brusies you have nothing else, fortunately"
"Thanks R.A.M.P but what about Tails?"
"He was only unconscious so we left him in his room after checking him" - at that moment a navigator droid came running in - "We have a problem, the master, several RCM droids, and a half ton of circuits, metal and others were locked in the test room. They have sealed all the accesses and we lost communication with that section of the ship "
"WHAT ?!" - R.A.M.P and Cosmo Said
Indeed Tails had sealed the test room while Cosmo, R.A.M.P, Fenrir and Isis and some droids were outside the door, you could hear many metallic tapping, sounds of welding, among other things ...
"MASTER OPEN THE DOOR, MASTER !" - Then a small door opened and Tails peeked through it, his face was covered in grease and wearing a welding mask
"What's up R.A.M.P ?, I'm busy"
"Master, I thought you were resting in your room, why did you take over the test room?"
"I was getting bored, it's my ship, I think I can do what I want wherever I want"
"Tails we are worried about you, let us help you"
"I'm fine Cosmo do not worry, we'll see about your training later. Now if you excuse me ... "- And closing the little door Tails returned to whatever he was doing in the test room
"I think it would be better if we left him alone" - Fenrir said before everyone left
Moments later Cosmo was alone on the bridge watching Tails´ command chair ...
"Tails ... What happened to you?"
"I thought we had discussed that yesterday" - Then Cosmo saw on his right shoulder and saw a small Seledrin sitting there ...
"It's you ... what was your name ... Sanhedrin"
"I am Seledrin my dear and green friend"
"Anyway, based on what you told me, you helped Tails since he left Mobius Prime until when he brought me back. Can not you help him now? "
"I'm afraid I can not, this is a road he must walk alone. Which means that you and I will be talking more often, which reminds me, have you been practicing the use of your powers? "
"No"
"Well you have to start soon because with Tails out of combat everything depends on you now, it's up to you to face Dread'enar"
"Who?"
"Well, I think I missed some things last night ..."
Moments later…
"AAAAAHHH"
"I know I'm immortal but, YOU ALMOST BLOW UP MY EARDRUMS!"
"AND IT IS MY FAULT?, Tails already saw this?"
"Yes and he did not shout at me, mainly because we were in his head but THE POINT IS, that you must be strong now more than ever" - At that moment a navigator droid entered
"Mistress, are you okay?"
"Do not tell him anything only you can hear me and see me now" - Whispered Seledrin
"Yes I'm fine, I just hit my hand when I slipped up" - And believing in the answer the droid left - "Now that we're alone again, anything else I should know?"
"Yes, let Tails finish what he is doing"
"I thought you would not help him anymore" - Cosmo said something curious
"I said that I would not help him, not that I would stop observing him"
The hours passed and Tails worked in ... whatever it was that was working and while this was happening in the White Lightning ... In another part of the quadrant ...
Planet Metris 4:
Metris 4 was a planet of food guarding for a good part of the sector, because of that it was highly protected, but none of its inhabitants were ready for what was to come. In the outer orbit of the planet appeared a kind of dark cloud and from it a huge meteor, just as black as the cloud, was plummeting towards the planet, the orbital defenses fire it with everything but the meteor neither was destroyed nor changed course. In the end the thing crashed near an arboretum as people approached the meteorite opened releasing a dense fog that was introduced into the trees and began to twist and fuse them to create a creature that began to attack the surrounding structures ...
Returning to White Lightning:
Cosmo was practicing "Alone" in the test room with the plants, trying to move them at will, but without success ...
"This is very difficult to master"
"It will take some time but you will achieve it" - When Cosmo turned to see Seledrin on a box watching her
"Is this going to be a habit among us?" - Cosmo asked annoyed
"What? I have not done anything wrong. Do you want some help? "
"Well that would be good"
"Well the first thing you have to do is connect with the plants, in the same way you did with the plants on that desert planet, which was not so deserted if there were still living plants under the crust. Go, try to feel them, try to feel them like an extension of your body "- Cosmo closed her eyes and concentrated seconds later the plants began to be covered with a green glow and move and grow ... -" Perfect, keep it up "
But by the time Cosmo was gaining complete control over the plants she felt a strong pressure in her chest as she lost control over the plants before falling to her knees ...
"What is this? What is this horrible feeling?"
"I can also feel it, it's Dread'enar"
"Dread'enar?"
"Yes, I can feel its corruption even at this distance. We must go there "- Said Seledrin
"But I'm not ready yet, I do not think I can do this"
"Ready or you do not have to face this challenge, let's go to the bridge"
White Lightning, Bridge:
The navigating droids performed their functions when Cosmo followed by the invisible Seledrin entered the bridge, the Seedrian went to the main panel ...
"What do I do now ?, I do not know how to handle this"
"I've seen Tails do this since the ship left Mobius Prime, just follow my instructions" - Then she listen to Seledrin, Cosmo entered the ship's command panel and programmed the course to the planet Metris 4, the ship opened a trans-warp conduit and went in there ...
"What the hell is going on here and why is the ship in a trans-warp conduit ?!" - R.A.M.P shouted at the droids as he entered the bridge
"It was not us"
"Then who was?"
"It was me R.A.M.P"
"You Mistress ?, but how? And Why?"
"That does not matter now R.A.M.P, I can feel an evil presence in our destination course. We must go "
"It can not be, another monster?"
Planet Metris 4, Space Station # 5, High Orbit:
The supervisors of space station # 5 were monitoring the creature's progress, their species was that of a humanoid race cybernetically improved so they required little or no organic food, which is ironic ...
"What is the status of the creature?" - Asked the supervisor of the station to his subordinates
"Its size has increased by 20% after assimilating all the nearby trees and It goes to the storage silo # 7"
"We have to stop it, are our units ready?"
"Ready and waiting"
On the surface the military units of Metris 4 were formed near the silo # 7, the creature advanced assimilating all plant matter within reach and getting bigger ...
"The objective is coming, prepare all weapons!" - Ordered the commander to his troops as the creature approached and when it was at a certain distance - "FIRE!"
All the artillery and weapons were fired at the creature destroying its body ...
"Very well!" - But their joy was short-lived because they saw when the pieces began to gather together and rejoin until they completely rebuilt the creature - "What ?!, FIRE AGAIN!"
The order was given again but before the shots hit the target, the creature went underground ... - "Where is it?" - ... and then huge and obscured roots came out from under the artillery destroying it, the soldiers dispersed as they watched the creature emerge ... - "FALL BACK!"
While the soldiers retreated, the creature approached the Silo destroying it and consuming everything inside it and after doing so it began to grow more and to generate small copies of itself, all this was seen in the space station ...
"This is impossible !, What is the analysis of that thing ?!" - Asked the supervisor
"What we know is that it was created by the energy of that strange meteorite and that its body is composed of plant matter and now, to make things worse, it is multiplying"
"I think that's OBVIOUS, any way to stop it?"
"We would need a sample of its mass to be able to find a way to destroy it"
"Damn it!" - At that time one of his subordinates called him - "Mr. Psilone we detect a trans-warp conduit opening only half a light-year from our planet"
"A trans-warp conduit? But that is impossible, data records describe only an entity capable of creating such a thing "
"Sir ... something is emerging from the conduit"
"It can not be! E.V.E was supposed to have been destroyed!" - On the main screen you could see the conduit and you saw the White Lightning coming out while the space gap was closing ... - "That's not E.V.E"
"Sir the scanners reveal that it is an armored and heavily armed ship, it is detected that it has a class S double energy core " - Said one of his subordinates
"Open a communication channel"
" Channel Opened"
"Here Psilone supervisor of space station # 5 of Metris 4, declare your intentions immediately" - Then on the screen appeared R.A.M.P and Cosmo - "Who are you?"
"I am Cosmo from the White Lightning ship, we detect a disturbance on that planet and we want to help you"
"How do you know we had problems?"
"That does not matter now, sir, you need our help" - Cosmo said trying to convince Psilone, but at that moment one of his subordinates took him out of the camera ...
"Sir, these strangers are not to be trusted, I have a bad feeling, they also use E.V.E technology"
"Maybe you're right, but we'll let them go on their own against the monsters. We'll see later what to do with them "- Then Psilone returned to the screen -" Okay, you can move forward "
And while they cut off the communication with the White Lightning ... - "Send a message to all the units, let that ship enter to the planet but keep it under surveillance and its crew. We do not know what they are capable of or what they want "
White Lightning, Bridge:
"Do you think we should tell Tails?" - Cosmo asked Seledrin - "No, he can not fight anyway"
"Well, Mistress, you are in charge now. What do we do?" - R.A.M.P asked Cosmo - "I suppose we should approach the creature, set a course to the surface and track it down"
While the White Lightning entered the area, the creature and its offspring headed towards a green area near which was storage Silo # 8, the inhabitants fled while the armed forces formed a barricade to try to delay it; The creatures approached while the army of the planet fired their weapons, the shots hit the target but when the smoke cleared the only thing they saw was a huge tangled ball of corrupt plant matter. Moments after from the tangle came several tentacles that quickly pierced the armor of the vehicles and military artillery blown them up, the creature was separated again in the original monster and its offsprings; and while the military ran for their lives AGAIN the group of monsters began to assimilate the vegetal matter of the green zone while the White Lightning monitored them from above ...
White Lightning, Bridge:
"What are they doing?"
"They are consuming plant life R.A.M.P, I can hear the planet screaming in pain" - Cosmo said
"What?"
"We have to stop them!"
"I think we'll have a problem with that, our weapons are designed to disable and destroy other ships. We have nothing to attack organic beings!"
"I think I have a solution" - Said an RCM droid entering the bridge
"What do you mean?"
"You see Mistress, before your capture the Master was working on a new weapon, one that we could use against the monsters we have faced. This weapon concentrates the energy of the two emeralds of the reactor, combines and concentrates them with the generator of the disruptor cannon creating a burst of energy so strong that not only is it capable of completely melting away the hull of a ship, but it can also degenerate the organic material in a matter of seconds. It is a more powerful version of the technology 135 "
"What is the status of that weapon?" - R.A.M.P asked the droid RCM - "The first section of the weapon has been incorporated into the ship, but the second one has not. In addition, it has not been tested yet "
"Well, we'll have to try it now, R.A.M.P contact Psilone"
"A you command Mistress"
Space station # 5, High orbit:
"Mr. Psilone we have an incoming transmission, it's from the White Lightning ship"
"On screen"
"Mr. Psilone we have good news, we discovered a way to disable the creatures but we will need some time to put our plan in motion." - Said Cosmo on the main screen
"What do you need?"
"Gather eebery available military unit and ship and send them to our coordinates and tell them to shoot everything they have against the monsters. That will give us some time to put our plan online "
"Understood"
The surrounding ships were the first to arrive and began to attack the monsters while they threw thorns at the ships which were embedded in the hull of the ships, the maneuver seemed to be working, the attack of the ships gave time to the troops terrestrial to arrive and meanwhile in the White Lightning ...
"Where are you going Mistress?"
"We need to prevent that thing from continuing to destroy the life of the planet R.A.M.P, I will go down"
"But are you sure about this?"
"No, but I know I have to do it" - and without further words Cosmo went to the dock of the ship where a cargo ship took her to the surface carrying a kind of laser lance. When they set foot on the ground the monsters stopped, as did the attacks of the Metris 4 forces, then they turned to where Cosmo was and all emitted heartbreaking roars before pouncing on Cosmo, the Seedrian managed to dodge the initial attack but the creatures were persistent and threw their tentacles upon her, Cosmo reacted quickly and with her spear sliced the tentacles of the creatures but the pieces were reabsorbed by the monsters who began to chase her ...
"I assumed that this would happen: The good thing - they are chasing me, the bad thing they ARE CHASING ME!" - the Seedrian shouted as she escaped and was seen by one of the generals
"Who the hell is that?" - But he received a statement from Psilone - "Do not stand there, follow the monsters and SHOOT THEM"
"What the hell are you doing Mistress?" - Said R.A.M.P to Cosmo for the communicator - "What do you think I do ?, RUNNING FOR MY LIFE !"
"So why did you went down if you are only running?"
"I do not know, I assumed it's something that Tails would have done. But the good thing is that those things diverted their attention from the storage silos. Hurry up!"
White Lightning, Bridge:
"What is the status of the weapon?" - R.A.M.P asked the RCM droids that were in the canon section - "We are working as fast as we can, we have the second section and we will install it immediately"
"Redouble your efforts, remember that now the Mistress is fighting alone down there" - And saying that R.A.M.P finished communication with the droids - "Any response from the test room?"
"Negative sir, the Master is still inside"
"What the hell is he doing?"
As the minutes passed, the droids were working on completing the weapon and at the same time Cosmo and the forces of Metris 4 guided the monsters away from the silos and the green areas to be able to gain more time ...
"My chest ... it hurts, I can not ... breathe!" - The Seedrian thought as she ran with the monsters and Metris 4 forces behind her - "I do not know ... for how long ... I can ... keep running!"
"Hey your green girl!" - Cosmo listened to his communicator while turning to look back - "I am Commander Surge ! Are not you supposed to fight against those things?"
"AND YOU SHOULD NOT TELL YOUR TROOPS TO ATTACK ?!, TELL YOUR SHIPS TO DO SOMETHING OR CRASH AGAINST THEM!" - After the strange declaration of Cosmo Surge ordered a bombardment by the ships but before they did anything the progenitor creature let out a huge scream and the thorns that were embedded in the ships began to grow forming vines that pierced the hull of the ships and made them fall to the ground, the crew left the spaceships before the Thorns gobble them up completely, but to their horror, more monsters sprouted from the thorns, which joined the Cosmo hunt - "AND NOW THERE IS MORE OF THEM !?"
Cosmo had reached an area where there was a river that was used to irrigate the green areas and crops, when she turned back she saw the beasts ready to jump upon her but before they could attack a cargo ship descended with an RCM droid attached to the outer hull, which extended its limbs to hold her and remove her from there. And while the monsters watched her go away they all began to merge into one beast ...
"Commander Surge, tell your troops to withdraw immediately" - Psilone said on the comlink. The military forces had no choice but to leave as they watched the monster grow larger
White lighting:
On the bridge R.A.M.P and Psilone discussed their next move ...
"Your are taking too long to execute thyour fanciful plan, that last maneuver cost us many ships and those beasts have destroyed a good part of the green areas of this sector"
"We are almost ready, we have discovered that these beasts have developed a desire to persecute Miss Cosmo, we will use that in our favor. At this moment one of our ships is transporting her to drive away the creatures "
"You should say Creature, our satellites have informed us that all the creatures have merged into a single being and are chasing your ship" - Then Psilone linked them with the satellite and saw what was happening ...
"This is bad, locate our ship and set course towards it"
Meanwhile with Cosmo and company:
"Are you okay, Mistress?" - The RCM droid who was holding it asked her - "Something uncomfortable but I'm fine,at least this better than running ... and I think we should increase the speed"
"Why?" - The droid got its response when Cosmo pointed behind the ship and saw the huge monster that was behind them, in reaction the droid hit the side of the ship, the navigator droid peeked its head from a window and seeing what happened it immediately returned to the wheel and increased the speed. Cosmo saw how in front of them the White Lightning lined up to allow them to enter but at that moment the creature released a sphere of dark energy that brought down the cargo ship and made it fall into a small forest ...
"OW ... Are you okay?" - Cosmo asked the droids who left the ship and helped the RCM droid - "We're a bit dented but we're fine"
Then they watched as the creature approached them menacingly ...
"This is bad" - Then before the creature could attack, a huge ball of blue fire hit it in the head making it howl with pain and walk backwards, then small missiles of blue fire bombarded it, damaging it even more, and to end they saw an object that hit it directly in the "Chest" knocking it down in the middle of a huge cloud of smoke ... - "What the hell was that ?!"
Then Cosmo saw something come out of the smoke, it was someone wearing a strange mechanical armor and with a kind of visor on his face while his tails waved in the wind ... Tails?
"Tails!" - Then she saw how the fox descended to the ground and picked her up, and while he was taking her out ... - "Tails but how ...?"
"There is no time for explanations now we have to get away from that thing"
"And what about the droids?"
"Do not worry about them, the White Lightning is picking them up and they will come after us later"
At that moment Tails receives a transmission of the White Lightning ...
"Boss, what happened to you? It took you a long time to get out!"
"I'll explain later R.A.M.P, what is the state of the Uetzi Canon? "
"The second part is being integrated at this time but we will require a little more time"
"Well, we will get you the time you need" - And so Tails finished the transmission
"Where do we go Tails?"
"Anywhere"
Space station # 5, High orbit:
"Where did that guy come from?" - Psilone said observing satellite images
"Sir we have analyzed the newcomer and we have found interesting things about his armor"
"Explain"
"It seems to have an energy converter that transforms caloric and other similar energies into the type of energy that armor uses. The strangest thing is that from his body emanates an energy of an unknown type and the suit is absorbing this energy to feed itself "- His subordinate explained ...
"These people have many more secrets than I imagined"
"Sir we are receiving another transmission of the White Lightning" - Said another subordinate
"Onscreen"
"We have other information that could be useful against the creature" - R.A.M.P declared.
"This better be worthy"
"That creature seems to have some vulnerability to fire, I suggest that you concentrate a military group with incendiary weapons at the following coordinates. Our ship will be waiting for you there"
"Our artillery failed to harm that monster and do you think some little flames will do it?"
"Do you have a better idea?" - Psilone just remain silent - "My thoughts exactly, hurry up" - And after saying that R.A.M.P ceased communication
Returning with Tails and Cosmo:
"Tails where are we going?"
"R.A.M.P gave me coordinates where we should go, it's a forest near here"
"A forest? Tails that thing feeds on plants we will only make it stronger "
"Not with what we have prepared, we will also need you to use your powers as you did in Gitaria Prime"
"I'm not sure I can do it"
"You have to be sure Cosmo, now you will be leading these battles. We are getting closer "- Both saw a great glade where not only the White Lightning awaited them but also the forces of Metris 4, they landed in the middle of the glade while they saw the monster approaching ...
"HERE IT COMES!" - Surge yelled as the military got ready and when the creature was some distance away - "FIRE!" - Bursts of fire were thrown at the beast, the attacks impacted directly on her and as she writhed wrapped in flames…
"RAMP Are you ready?" - Tails got his answer as he watched as the mouth of the canon of the WL opened and began to charge with energy and after a few seconds, a huge beam of energy was fired from the WL impacting the huge creature causing a huge glow ... When everything was normalized they only saw a small crater and inside it a smoldering mass of rotten plan matter
"WE DID IT!" - Surge yelled as the military celebrated but something was not right
"STOP, this is not over yet!" - Cosmo shouted as she watched as a cloud of dark energy emerging from the creature's remains and entering the nearby trees while causing them to uproot and form a slightly smaller new body...
"IT CAN NOT BE!"
"R.A.M.P How long until the Uetzi canon can fire again?" - Tails asked through the communicator
White Lightning, Bridge:
On the main screen was an image of the White Lightning with the section of the canon outlined in red ...
"We have a problem Master, the canon is overheated and we have to cool it down to make another shot without that section exploding" - Said R.A.M.P while watching the diagram
"How long will it end?"
"About 45 Minutes"
Returning to the Glade:
"We'll delay it as much as we can, hurry up!"
"That thing got up again, FALL BACK!" - Surge yelled but Tails stopped him - "NO, KEEP YOUR POSITIONS AND FIRE AGAIN!"
"It's the third time that thing gets up, AND DO YOU WANT US TO ATTACK IT AGAIN ?!"
"DO NOT PROTEST AND DO IT!" - And while the creature's body was finished the military launched another arson attack on the creature while Tails launched another burst of blue fire. Although the creature was weak she went underground to put out the flames and then came out from under the military forces knocking them down - "FALL BACK NOW !" - The military escaped while the creature turned to face Tails and Cosmo
"Cosmo I will attack you while you imprison it with your roots"
"Tails I can not do that yet!"
"You have to do it" - Then Tails took flight and went straight to the creature piercing it, but it began to regenerate and in that moment Tails charged a ball of blue fire and threw it directly into the hole that had left it damaging it, but the beast became mad and threw its limbs towards Cosmo, who barely managed to dodge the attack. Tails took off in a dive, picking her up from the ground and flying towards an area without vegetation near a huge tower ...
"Cosmo, what happened to you? You were supposed to attack it, too"
"I'm sorry Tails but I can not do it, I do not know why. I try to get angry like when I faced the mandrake but I think I do not do it right "
"We will have to think about another strategy, but Cosmo you must concentrate, now you are the one who must put an end to the corruption of Dread'enar. R.A.M.P we have to flee, go to the following coordinates "- Said Tails by the communicator while flying ...
Space station # 5, High orbit:
"And now where are they heading?"
"They are heading towards the power plant number 75 Mr. Psilone"
"That plant still has an energy leakage problem, what are they planning to do?"
Power Plant # 75:
Tails and Cosmo arrived next to the White Lightning, the ship positioned itself upon the power plant while the Fox and the Seedrian waited for the creature ...
"R.A.M.P what is the status of the power plant?" - Asked Tails for the communicator ...
"We detected a fluctuation in the power grid Master"
"Is there a way you can take the energy that is leaking?"
"Yes, we can use the charging needles. If we get close enough we can extract all the energy we need but ... Why? "
"We will use it to burn that creature even more"
"But Master we destroyed it before and created another body"
"I know but I have a plan, is the Uetzi canon ready?"
"I'll find out. Isis, Fenrir How long is it until the canon is completely cold? "
White Lightning, Section of the Canon:
"Fenrir is on the turbine finishing cooling it along with the other droids" - It was all that Isis could say before Fenrir fell off the scaffolding ... - "And I think that Fenrir gave a hard thud on the floor. We will need a few more minutes "
Tails had listened to everything on his communicator ...
"We will hold it back everything we can. Cosmo I will attack first, I need you to concentrate this time, please. We depend on you "- Then Tails took flight towards the monster, while the White Lightning was positioned on the power plant while deploying the charging needles which began to absorb the energy of the plant ...
"Very well ... it's now or never, I have to do this, I have to ..." - The Seedrian held her spear in front of her as she closed her eyes and concentrated ...
Tails was in course of collision with the beast, he put his fists in front of him and began to gyre forming a kind of fireball that went through the center of the creature and before it began to regenerate from his arms came two huge and sharp blades which were lit with his blue fire and he began to cut the limbs of the monster and to slash and thrust at its body and as this happened Cosmo began to exert influence on the extended roots of the largest trees on the edge of the forest , these roots began to slowly appear from the earth near the site of the battle between Tails and the creature ...
Tails was giving everything he could but no matter how strong his attacks were the creature would always regenerate and he began to tire and therefore his armor began to lose power, in a carelessness moment he did not saw a tentacle that was slowly approaching behind him and in a matter of seconds it caught hm squeezing and making him scream, taking Cosmo out of his concentration ...
"Tails ?!" - She watched as the creature finished squeezing Tails as he prepared to eat him ...
"I do not like this, I just released my armor and I'm going to be eaten by a over grown plant! AGAIN!"
"Tails, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" - Then she was covered by an intense green aura as the roots of the trees came violently out from the ground imprisoning the creature - "It worked!, LET MY BOYFRIEND GO!" - Then dropping her spear she made gestures with her hands manipulating the roots, tightening even more her grip on the monster and releasing Tails in the process ...
"She did it, Cosmo did it!" - Tails got up off the ground and flew coming back to Cosmo - "You're doing fine, do not let it go!" - Hearing Tails she clenched her fists while at the same time the roots were squeezing the monster but Tails saw that the creature was trying to absorb them
"Not that thing is going to ...!" - Then he saw that the roots of Cosmo began to shine avoiding being assimilated, then he contacted the White Lightning - "RAMP, Cosmo has the monster immobilized, is the Uetzi canon ready? ! "
"This ready Master we have already absorbed enough energy from the power plant"
"Fire away now!" - In the section of the cannon Fenrir, Isis and the droids went away from there quickly while the cannon began to charge, and after a few minutes the canon launched its attack reducing the monster once more to a pile of decomposed plant matter - "Quick Cosmo, wrap that dough with your roots. Do not leave any holes "- Listening to Tails Cosmo created a cocoon of roots around the pile, then said cocoon began to shine and after a few minutes the brightness stopped. The cocoon began to unravel, revealing a dry pile of vegetable matter ...
"Now, it's all over" - It was all Tails said before Cosmo fell to her knees, he took her in his arms while he looked at her with tenderness and satisfaction - "You saved me, thanks" - She only gave him a kiss on the cheek while a cargo ship descended from the White Lightning with RAMP and some droids ...
"Master!"
"Hi R.A.M.P"
"I do not know what thyou did but this time you showed off on the battlefield, why you did not tell us that you were building an armor?"
"Well I wanted it to be a surprise and besides ..." - Before Tails could say anything, they received a transmission from the White Lightning ...
"Master, R.A.M.P we have a problem"
"What happens?"
"We detected a number of ships that are converging in our position"
"What ?!" - Then Tails and company were surrounded by several military units while one of them held a Holo-projector in front of them and materialized a Psilone hologram - "Who is that?"
"I'm Psilone, supervisor of space station # 5 and you ... have a lot to explain."
"I am Tails, owner and commander of the White Lightning ship and if you want we will respond to ..."
"I think you do not understand, you and your ship will be taken into custody" - Then all the soldiers pointed their weapons at them ...
"Why do you do this ?, we helped you" - Cosmo Said worried
"And you also caused damages that now we will have to repair! In addition, you have access to extremely dangerous technologies. They will come with us one way or another "
"What do we do Master?"
"Cosmo do you have the strength to launch one final attack?"
"Yes"
"Well, when I tell you I want you to imprison all of them, do you understand?"
"Yes"
"Take them away!"
"NOW COSMO !" - As Tails told her to do, the Seedrian sprouted huge roots from the ground trapping and disarming the military forces of Metris 4 - " RUN TO THE CARGO SHIP!"
Taking advantage of the chaos Tails and company went up to the cargo ship and returned to the White Lightning
White Lightning, Dock:
"Droids GET US OUT OF HERE !" - Said Tails through the communicator, the White Lightning was heading to the orbit of the planet while the ships of Metris 4 began to arrive
"Master the enemy ships are here and are ready to attack"
"Shields up!" - The enemy ships began their attack, the WL shield was resisting but gradually began to weaken, because they inadvertently used part of the dual generator energy
"Master, if we continue like that our shields will fall"
"Use the charging needles and the magnet canon, launch an electromagnetic wave against the ships" - The process of change of cannon was taking place but when they finished the shields of the ship had fallen so the armor was receiving all the damage ...
"We are ready Master"
"NOW !" - The electromagnetic wave was released disabling the surrounding ships - "Create a trans-warp conduit and get us out of here"
"Where are we going?"
"ANYWHERE!" - Then the ship opened the portal and while the other ships approached the WL disappeared into the conduit
Moments later, in an asteroid field:
The White Lightning came out of the conduit while it closed behind them, but it was very damaged ...
"What is the damage report?" - Tails asked as he and R.A.M.P entered the bridge ...
"We are using reserve power, the dual generator is overheated and the hull of the ship was damaged during the fight"
"Can we make repairs?"
"Yes, but we should use the metallic debris that we have saved"
"Well I guess it does not matter, I have not seen the need to use the Huskoids. Start when you are ready. R.A.M.P Where is Cosmo? "
"She is in the test room"
Test Room:
