'Activating added feature 2- engage!' Tails reminded himself. He picked up
a green-coded key and slotted it into it's hole, then turned it left 90
degrees just as he did with the other one. He flicked another switch. Two
hatches opened on either side and to metal shafts came out like extra
wings, both with two X-FIRE missiles attached. Tails picked up the button
pad from the glove box and pressed the second from the right button. Three
whirring noises from the hangar signalled the readiness of the missile
test. Tails pushed yet another button on the pad and three rockets
spiralled upwards, where they stopped and parachutes popped out from behind
them. Tails manoeuvred Tornado 3 to point towards all three in turn, and at
each one a little marker on the on-board computer shaped like a + came up.
'Locked on!' shouted Tails. He pulled out a long lever, then turn a knob to 65 degrees and press the red "FIRE" button. On each side one of the rockets sped away from the biplane and blew the rockets to smithereens, thus causing them to shower a rain of sparkling glitter down to rest on the softly braking ocean. One missile remained, floating down, swinging from side to side. Tails turned the knob to 120 degrees and pressed the "FIRE" button again. The left X-FIRE missile shot directly towards the last firework. It blew up and a giant orange picture lit up the sky. Tails chuckled to himself, if only Sonic was here to see his own face in the sky! Tails had manufactured that last firework to show a picture of himself two days ago.
'Right- time to test the last upgrade.' Tails piped up. He pushed in a lever and turned it 90 degrees right. Then, he uncapped a small red switch, not unlike a light switch. He pressed it. The right side turned inside-out, revealing the landing gear. BEEP BEEP! Tails looked at the computer.
'Oh no! The left landing gear is jammed.' He said frantically. The computer showed a 3D picture of the left side. 'The latch is caught!' he exclaimed. The piece which fell of earlier had hit the latch!
'Prepare for crash landing!' Tails called to himself. He was swerving left and right and ducking and climbing- the landing gear on the right was causing off-balance to Tornado 3. It ducked round in a spin away from the shore. It was going down.
