Finally arriving in the cold, harsh winter land of Eastern Siberia, the trio almost go lost immediately. They had no idea how long they had been making their way through the icy cold blizzard before them, all Kyoka knew is she wanted out… quickly.

"I absolutely cannot find my way! We are completely, totally, unequivocally lost!" Izuku shouted aloud, trying to force his way through the sharp winds.

"No… never! What gave that away!?" Kyoka stated back, staying behind the blue haired boy.

The had been wondering for what seemed like hours, trying to find any sigh of life. Tails had constantly been working away on his tablet, trying to find any signals he could… so far he had gotten nothing.

"Sonic! In this weather, there's no way we're gonna get any readings on this thing! We need to head back!" Tails said, still trying to focus on his tablet. Because of the bad weather, the screen was glitching like crazy.

Izuku looked back at his two friends, taking note of the conditions. Tails looked cold, shivering every now and then, yet the yellow fur he possessed on parts of his body seemed to protect him a little. As for Kyoka, she looked on the verge of passing out… it did not look good for any of them.

Just as Sonic was about to answer back, a bright light in the distance caught his gaze, making his eyes widen. "No, no, no! There's a light up ahead, maybe we can take shelter in there!"

Grabbing his two friends by the arms, Izuku sped up the hill, arriving behind a nearby snow drift. He glanced over to the building, noticing a pile of snow gear stacked out front.

"Perfect…"

"Are you sure about this?" Tails questioned as Izuku ducked back down. "We don't know who's inside…"

Izuku gave him a smile, "Don't worry… on Earth, people are very welcoming and love taking complete strangers into their homes!"

Inside the building was a brightly lit bar, with people all sat around talking, eating and having a good time. The door to the front of the bar opened suddenly, causing the place to go quiet. Standing in the doorway stood Izuku, Kyoka and Tails, covered head to toe in thick snow gear.

Both Tails and Jiro glanced around nervously, as multiple of the patrons glared at them. One person pulled out a knife, stabbing it into the table before him. In the corner, an old lady sat, knitting quietly to herself. Kyoka and Tails let out a sigh in relief… on to scream when she turned the piece of cloth around, showing a skull and crossbones. Just then, a rather large fish head landed before the trio… Izuku wasn't sure if it was the hyperthermia or if he was just imagining things when the fist suddenly said, "Run…"

Tails fainted on the spot and Kyoka gave Izuku a death glare. "Friendly and welcoming… really?"

Izuku smiled sheepishly, slowly turning to face the rest of the bar.

"Table for three, please!"

Sitting down at a nearby table, the trio were asked by a tall, large lady what they wanted to eat. "Three beef stews, please!" Tails stated before the other two could answer, using his Miles Electric tablet to translate it to Russian. The lady grabbed the menus from the table, walking away with a scowl on her face.

"Well… she seems nice." Izuku stated, shaking his head lightly. "So, where'd you get all these cool gadgets from, little man?" Izuku asked, turning to the fox boy.

"I invented 'em… that's kinda my thing." Tails answered in embarrassment, trying to hide his face from the two.

Kyoka smirked, looking over the gadget with fascination. "Damn… U.A. would kill to have someone like you on their support course…"

"In fact, my inventions are how I discovered you." Tails finished, taking the tablet back from Kyoka. "Remember that night in the forest?"

Izuku nodded slowly, remember the night his life became a whole lot more complicated.

"Well, you're energy blast reached all the way to my home planet… I saw you save your whole village from that crazy mustache guy!" Tails said, eyes shining with awe.

"Wait… so you've been watching me? L-like the whole time?" Izuku asked, kinda disturbed by the revelation. "E-even when I was working on my…"

"Yep!"

Izuku's face paled dramatically, making Kyoka raise an eyebrow. "What?" She asked, noticing how pale he was.

"Oh, well you see… Sonic has a little collection of—"

"And we are done with that statement!" Izuku suddenly said, slapping a gloved hand over Tail's mouth, holding it shut. "S-she does not need to know about that!"

"Know about what…?"

"Nothing!" Izuku shouted, turning bright red. "Moving on… you're pretty good, Tails, I'll give ya that."

"Yeah… I try my best. When I learned Knuckles was on your trail, I knew I couldn't just sit back and watch anymore… I had to come warn you." Tails finished, placing his Miles Electric on the table.

Suddenly, a loud beeping sound caught the trio's attention. Kyoka reached into her pocket, pulling out her phone. "Oh… hang on one sec… Tom's checking in." She stated, quickly typing a response and putting it away.

Not to long after, the lady turned back up, placing 3 bowls of revolting looking soup down on the table. Kyoka and Izuku looked as if they was about to gag. Tails turned to the waitress, picking up his tablet in the process.

"I'm sorry, but I asked for the beef stew…" He said, translating it with his tablet… yet something didn't seem right.

The waitress looked on at them, offended for some reason. She questioned them, none of the three understanding her. Confused, Tails looked down at his device, only to see exactly what he just said…

"Your breath smells like goat crap… well that doesn't seem right?" Both Izuku and Kyoka look at him shell shocked, faces turning pure white.

"Tails? What's going on buddy?" Izuku asked, taking note of the now staring patrons around the room.

"Hang on… I'm trying to fix it!" He muttered, typing away on the screen of the device. "There!"

["Stand back, I just farted…"]

The crowd suddenly gives them a confused look, most of them looking disgusted. One large, tall, muscly guy marches up to the trio, pulling the hats from atop Izuku and Tails' heads, revealing their… quirks to the world. The patrons back away in shock, shouting and screaming something in Russian.

"Um… Meow?" Izuku chuckles nervously.

Within an instant, the trio were surrounded, being lifted into the air. Kyoka looked to where they were going, her eyes going wide with panic. There, right before their very eyes, stood a raging fireplace, fully ignited with blazing flames.

"Izuku! Tails! Do something, I am not getting cooked alive today!"

"Come on, come on!" Tails shouted, checking his Miles Electric rapidly. "Scanning Siberian customs…"

"Tails! Seriously, hurry up!" Sonic stated in panic, trying and failing to escape the grasp of his captors. Seeing no way out, he turned to Kyoka, watching the increasing fear in her eyes as they approached closer and closer to the raging inferno. "Kyo… if we are about die, there's something I need to tell you!"

The purplette turned to him, terror plastered on her face.

"I-I…" He stuttered, struggling to speak. "I lov—"

"I got it!" Tails suddenly shouted, climbing from the grasp of his captives. "Pivonka! Pivonka! PIVONKA!"

All movement stopped, as everyone stared at him with wide eyes.

"Pivonka?" Questioned the bartender, glancing to a bald man at the bar.

Suddenly, the crowd parted, revealing a man wearing a red silk robe, the word "Champion" written on the back in Siberian. He stands, glancing at the trio with a smirk. "Da. Pivonka!" He shouts as the crowd cheers around him.

"Tails…" Came the questioning voice of the purplette, climbing down from the cheering crowd. "What's a Pivonka?"

"It's a Siberian custom to resolve disputes." He states, reading from his tablet. "If we win, they let us go. If we lose…" Suddenly, the fire flares up, causing the trio to back away in fright.

The crowd moves around the room, moving tables and chairs out of the way. In the centre of the room, a large wood dance floor could be seen.

"Okay, we have to grab the map and get outta here…" Izuku began, looking around for to piece of parchment. "Where is it?"

"Oh, no… I left it on the table!" Tails said, pointing at the bartender, who walked off with the map and all their other possessions.

"Great… now what?" Kyoka asked with a groan, noticing the large, bald man walking into the centre of the room.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw off his robe, throwing it to the floor. All over his body was a large tattoo, an image of himself with his arms spread wide.

"What?" Izuku asked, raising an eyebrow.

The self-proclaimed champion beckoned people from around the bar to join him, as a band began to play in the corner. The 3 buff men began to dance to the music, as the crowd loudly clapped.

"Oh. My. God… It's a dance off!" Izuku and Kyoka stated in sync, slowly backing away from the approaching dancers.

"Sonic, what do we do!?" Tails asked in panic, turning to the blue haired boy.

With a sharp intake of breath and a look of newfound determination, Izuku stepped forward, smirk plastered on his face.

"We dance!" He stated dramatically, raising a fist in determination. "And we get our map back!"

"Hell no!" Kyoka all but shouts, slowly backing away from the pair. "I would rather jump in the fire myself!"

"Sorry Kyo, that isn't an option…" Izuku said, holding out a hand to her.

However, the purplette stood her ground, slowly turning away from the blue haired hedgehog boy.

With a sigh, Izuku turned back to Tails, giving him a thumbs up.

"Looks like its up to you and me, little buddy… Just follow my lead."

With that, the battle began. Izuku and Tails tried to copy the professionally dances moves, but had no luck. They tripped over each other, eventually falling face first onto the floor. Izuku let out a groan, slowly climbing back up.

"Okay, this is not going so well… Channing Tatum makes this looks so easy."

"Is this really the time for jokes!?" Came the slightly scared voice of his purple haired friend, slowly walking up to his side.

"Well, I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" He shot back, frustration showing on his face.

The dancers begin laughing at the failing trio, the leader chanting with a victorious grin. "Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Freaks!"

The rest of the crowd joined in, making Tails slowly back up. Before his eyes, memories of his life flashed, slowly making his breathing become rapid and uneven. Both teens noticed this, rushing over to the fox boy's side.

"What's wrong Tails? Come on, we need you!" Izuku asked with a pleading voice, trying to snap his friend out of it.

"I-I can't do this! I'm not brave like you, Sonic! My gadgets got us in this mess and I lost your map and we're gonna get tossed into the flames and—" The fox went to continue, only to be stopped by the hedgehog.

"Hey… none of this is your fault. If its anyone's, its mine…" Out of the corner of his eyes, Izuku notices a shiny device playing music sitting on a nearby chair. He looks to Kyoka, gaining an idea. "And I'm going to fix it. Kyoka, you wouldn't happen to have any music on you, would ya?"

Raising an eyebrow, she slowly pulls her phone from her jacket pocket, handing it over to the blue haired boy. With a smile, Izuku speeds over to the player, plugging the device straight into it. The song, "Uptown Funk" begins to play, confusing most of the patrons as Izuku speeds back over to the duo.

"Come on, you two… I got an idea." He states, as he begins to start dancing. "They call us freaks… so let's get freaky!" Grabbing them both by the arms, Izuku rushed into the centre of the room.

"I-Izuku… I—" Kyoka began, looking around at all the people watching. All she felt was fear, as her blood turned cold. Izuku however, didn't let her finish, covering her mouth with a single finger, staring into her eyes.

"Just follow my lead… you'll be find." He said calmly. After a moment, Kyoka slowly nodded her head, joining the hedgehog in the centre of the room.

Extending his hand out to Tails, Sonic started off a wave, sending it over to the fox boy. With a smile, the fox boy sent it back, Izuku passing it over to Kyoka. All three of them began to dance, slowly matching each other in synchronization as they danced to the beat. The crowd began to cheer in excitement, at the display of dancing. Tails pulled out his tablet, pressing a few buttons on the screen as multiple holographic versions of himself began to form around him, all dancing in sync.

"All right, backup dancers!" Izuku cheered with a laugh, beginning to do more breakdancing.

The Siberian champion looked on, nervousness clear as day. The holograms, along with Kyoka and Izuku slowly began to march forward. The multiple clones of Tails use their tails to cover Izuku and Kyoka from view, as the music picks up even more.

"All right…" said the blue haired boy, talking a hold on the purplette's hand with a smile. "Here we go!"

With that, both were launched into the air screaming in joy, as Izuku strikes a pose for all to see.

(You all know the one)

Tails takes off into the air, as multiple clones of Izuku are created around the area. All three quirk users hang on tight to a chandelier, as it spins around like crazy. All around the room, clones of the pair are doing the same, creating a bright sceptical for all to see.

"Woo-hoo! This is more like it!" Sonic screams with joy, slowly glancing over to Kyoka.

Here eyes are wide, filled to the brim with joy and excitement. Her smile is wide, lighting up Izuku's view with a shining light brighter than the sun. Her bright, violet-coloured eyes blaze with a burning glow, captivation Izuku in their trance. His eyes go as wide as hers, as he stares at the most beautiful girl he has ever seen... his heart beating faster and faster as a wide smile crosses his face.

With that, the song comes to an end, as all the clones dissipate. Kyoka, Izuku and Tails land back onto the ground, the cheers of the crowd deafening. Izuku reaches an arm around his two friends' shoulders, pulling them in closer to him.

"I love Pivonka!"

Slowly, the champion falls to the floor, signalling the end of the dance fight. Izuku smiles, speeding over and grabbing all of their belongings from the bar countertop. He held the map up high, as the room cheered around him.

Meanwhile, Off on the other side of the planet, an image of the conversation between Tom and Kyoka could be seen on screen. At the back of the room, Robotnik, Stone and Knuckles watch on in anticipation as Kyoka answers back to Tom.

"'Just chillin'… Watching TV,'" knuckles reads aloud, watching as Tom replied. "Dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot…"

Stone and Robotnik slowly glance at the red-haired boy, before slowly turning back to the screen.

"Doctor…" Stone begins, turning to his boss. "Why are we working with this imbecile?"

"Because, that red-haired, simpleminded space trash is the key to something extraordinary…" Robotnik replied with a smirk.

"Something to help you get revenge on the hedgehog?" Stone assumed, raising an eyebrow.

"Think bigger Stone…" Robotnik began, staring at the screen with giddy excitement. "The emerald he seeks could power my wildest designs. My genius wouldn't just be recognized on Earth… it would be spread virally to every corner of the galaxy, allowing me to harness all the negative forces of the universe and commune with darkness itself!"

"Wow… that sounds big."

"It's been on my vision board for years. It's the law of attraction… didn't you see The Secret?" Robotnik, with over exaggerated movements, places his hands on his head. "Kablooey!" He states, making a mind blown movement with his hands.

"Kablooey…"

Suddenly, a beeping his heard, as another message is received from Tom. Knuckles looks at the screen, continuing to read aloud.

"'Another boring night at home…' The hedgehog has returned home!" Knuckles says, heading for the door, only to be stopped by Robotnik.

"Falsa," States the mad doctor. "Which is Latin for 'wrong-o'. According to my worldwide network cell triangulation," Robotnik begins, pressing a few buttons on the countertop, all while Knuckles gives him a weird look. "he's lying, all the way… from the majestic hinterlands of Eastern Siberia!"

A hologram appears on the table, showing the mountains of Siberia. Next to them, an image of Izuku could be seen, tapping his foot in an impatient manner.

"He's a long-distance liar!" Robotnik says, flicking his fingers at the holographic blue haired boy. "Yeah, there's more where that came from."

Immediately, Knuckles slams his fists down onto the hologram table, shattering it and the hologram into pieces. He looks up at Robotnik, serious look on his face. "Tiny magic hedgehog destroyed! Now let's begin our quest." He says, walking off once more.

Robotnik, with a roll of his eyes, marches off after the echidna boy, only for him to stop at the door.

"What about your minion? The goat milker…" He asks, glancing over at Stone, who proceeds to start repairing the holotable.

"There's no room for him on the ship…" Robotnik whispers to the teen. "I say we ditch him. Ghost him. Blow him— maybe not that last one."

Knuckles shoots a sharp glare at the doctor, raising a fist into the air. "Dishonour!"

"Dis' is how I roll…" Jokes Robotnik, walking out of the café doors.

Knuckles narrows his eyes once more, before following behind the doctor.

After the events of the major dance off and hours of extra partying, Izuku, Tails and Kyoka lay down next to the fire. Most of the bar guests had either left or were flat out drunk, passed out all over the room.

Tails, with a slight chuckle, turned to the two teens, giving them a smile. "Wow… only Sonic the Hedgehog could win a dance battle that epic. You did good too Pulse, of course."

"Jeez, thanks…" Kyoka states, shaking her head lightly with a giggle. "And, we have names ya know… mine's Kyoka Jiro."

Izuku smiled at this, following Kyoka's lead. "And my name is Izuku… as you probably figured out by now."

"Nice too properly meet you, I guess… Miles 'Tails' Prower at your service." The fox boy says with a mock bow, making Izuku laugh.

"Nice… anyway, stick with us pal. Earth can be a scary place, but we— or should I say Kyoka knows everything about this old, pale blue dot."

Tails eyes light with joy, staring at the two teens with tear filled eyes. "D-Do you really mean that?"

"Well… not everything. Her love life is a mess…" Izuku admits, receiving an elbow from the purplette. "Ow! I'm only being honest!"

"I meant…" Tails continued, sadly smiling at the two. "About me being your pal… do you really mean that?"

Izuku sat up straight, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Of course, buddy."

Kyoka followed suit, sitting next to the vixen boy. "Sure, what's one extra alien to add to the roster."

Within the instant, Tails' arms were wrapped around the blue haired boy, refusing to let go.

"Whoa-ho! We got a hugger!" Izuku stated with a laugh, letting go of the fox. "Coming in hot, are we?"

Taking note of the sad looks in the yellow haired boy's eyes, Kyoka slowly placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned to face her, a sad smile on his face.

"Tails… Miles, are you okay?" She asked.

The fox slowly turned his head, as if trying to avoid her gaze. Eventually, however, he turned back to the purple haired girl, letting out a sigh.

"Is it that obvious?" He asked with a nervous chuckle, wrapping his tails around his waist. "Growing up… I didn't have many… or any friends. Everyone in my village thought my two tails were weird… a mutation."

Hearing this, Kyoka immediately embraced Tails in a hug. The young boy began to quietly sob on her shoulder, soaking her already cold t-shirt even more. Izuku just watched on quietly from the side-lines, listening to the boy's story.

"But then… I saw Sonic, the fastest thing alive! You were weird, just like me… yet, you never let that slow you down." Tails continued. "You were a legend… that made me think, maybe being weird wasn't so bad. You inspired me to leave my village to find you and help you in your mission." Tails stood with Kyoka by his side, walking over to face Izuku. "You are my hero… I want to be just like you!"

Izuku got up off the floor, embracing both his friends in a tight hug. "I'm glad you're here, Tails."

"I'm glad I'm here too, Sonic."

It was only moments later that the fox boy let out a loud yawn, slowly moving away to lay back down next to the fire. "Well, I'm going to get some sleep… this feels like a good place if any." With that, the boy curled his tails around himself, before falling off into a deep sleep.

Izuku smiled lightly, turning to see Kyoka still standing next to him. The way she was looking at him, Izuku could tell something was on her mind.

"Kyo…" He began, moving to stand in front of his best friend. "What ya thinking about?"

Snapping out of her sudden trance, Kyoka looked up into his eyes. Once again, all Izuku could see was that blazing heat, something that always drew him into her glowing orbs.

"Izuku…" She said, trying and struggling to form words on her lips. "Earlier… when you thought we were about to die, you tried to say something to me…"

Izuku, now understanding what her had so worked up, chuckled lightly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Y-yeah, I completely forgot about that, to be honest. L-Let me guess, you want to know what I was going to say?"

Kyoka silently nodded, gazing into the blue haired boy's eyes.

"W-well… I-I…" Izuku stammered, face turning all different shades of red. "Y-you see…"

"Izuku… you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Kyoka suddenly said, catching the boy off guard. "I understand if you want to keep some secrets from me… everyone deserves their privacy. It's just, you know you can tell me anything, right? I'm your friend, and I will always be there for you—"

"I love you…"

Kyoka froze, mouth hanging wide open. She didn't just hear that correctly, right? That was just a slip up, surely? She stared into Izuku's eyes, only now noticing how red his face had gone.

"H-hold on, b-back up a second. Y-you what?" She stuttered out, face turning as red as a tomato.

"I-I said, I l-love you Kyoka Jiro…" Izuku muttered out, trying to avoid her gaze at all costs. "I-I'm sorry! M-maybe it was a bad time to bring it up… I-I will just—"

Suddenly, he was cut off as a purple haired missile collided with his lips, shutting up his ramblings for good. Izuku was completely taken a back, frozen in complete shock. That didn't mean he wanted it to end however… it was like a dream come true.

Kyoka slowly pulled back, crystal like tears slowly leaking from her eyes. "I-I love you too, you blue haired menace." Was all she said, slowly pulling back from the boy. She slowly walked away, a bright smile on her face, as she lay down next to the fire, resting her head on a nearby pillow.

Rapidly blinking, Izuku slowly pinched himself, yelping slightly at the sudden sharp pain. That actually just happened…

It was with a big smile and a huge skip that Izuku went to bed with that night, falling into the land of dreams… dreams that now became reality.

With that, the first act comes to an end… Will Izuku and Kyoka get together officially? What will Kyoka's Aunt and Uncle think? Will Tails ever fix that translator? Where is that damn 4th chaos emerald?

Find out next time, on Beta Cuck Z! (Probably pushing it with a teen rating on this one)
