Ch 12: The Tornado 3
The morning went by pretty fast because Tails was sleeping. Tails is in the bed because May had put him there. He is really restless, it looks like he's having a dream. 'Where am I?' Tails looked around and saw a field with a tree in the middle. He couldn't see very far because there was fog. Tails went over to the tree and sat down. 'There you are.' said May. She walked up to him and kissed him. 'I love you so much' Just then the sky becomes black and lightning strikes the tree. On the destroyed tree is a dark figure. It points an arm out and he shoots out a beam. It hits May and she falls to the ground. 'No...it...can't be...NOOOOOO!'
"Nooo...where..." Tails is up with tears in his eyes. He lays back down and stares at the ceiling. "It was a dream. I had this dream before. Yeah, it was that night in the hospital."
"Hey, your up, good morning." May gets on the bed and hugs Tails. She feels that his face is wet. "What happened. Are you crying?"
"Yeah, I had a terrible dream about you. Some one killed you. I was afraid I lost you."
"It was just a dream, I'm not going to die, don't worry." She leaned over and kissed him for a minute.
"Something smells good. Bacon and eggs. Yum." Tails gets out of bed and runs into the kitchen. He grabs a plate and chows down. The sky outside looks a little green because of the forcefeild. Tails goes to go back to the bedroom and sees May is changing. He turns around quickly. His face is really red. 'Oh I hope she didn't see me, oh god. She is pretty though.' He jumps onto the couch and turns on the T.V.
"Hey Tails, How do I look?" May was wearing a pretty, dark blue, dress. It sparkled in the light. It's a strapless dress with no back. She also put her hair in a new style. Two small strands of hair were hanging over her face. And the rest was wavy and hung down in the back.
"Wow..." Tails couldn't think of anything to say. She was beautiful. "It's just...wow. You look great."
"Good, because were going out tonight." She went back into the room and got changed back into her regular grey t-shirt and blue pants.
"Hey, you wanna come with me to headquarters. I'm gonna be building a plane all day." Tails went to the door. May followed him.
"Wow, the sky is green." May didn't notice the sky until now. All of a sudden she was lifted into the air. Tails held her around the waist. "This is so cool. I'm flying. Ha ha, wheee!"
"I wanted to show you how flying feels for me." Tails flew the whole way to the base. He let May down gently and landed.
"I've never felt so alive. Your definitely the one for me." May looked at the huge warehouse.
"C'mon I'll take you inside." Tails and May went up to the door and entered. No one was there because they had the week off. They went down the elevator and to the main build site. "You can go wherever you like. The rooms you can't go in are locked."
"This place is huge, I'll just stay here with you." Tails handed his compu-watch to May. "What do you want me to do with this?"
"Just play around with it. It is just a computer. You can figure it out." She put it on and sat in a baggage cart. "HEY, IS ANYBODY HERE!"
Out of one of the jets a hedgehog appeared. It was Zack. He jumped down and walked over to Tails. "Hey dude. It's about time you showed up. Did you bring the plans?"
"Yeah, they're right here." Tails handed him the plans and he looked them over. "Is there any plane graveyards around here. We'll need an old biplane frame to make this work."
"Yeah, I'll take you there in the cart." He walked over to the cart and saw May. "Whoa...I know people leave things in here, but this is ridicules."
"Hi to you too, sheesh." May was a little irritated.
"I brought her here, she's my girlfriend. May this is Zack." Tails got in the front with Zack. May was laying on the back seat with one leg down so she wouldn't fall. She was looking through the files. The cart started and the wall lifted again. They were going only 34mph. They went through a tunnel and into a subway system. It looked abandoned an is extremely smelly. Zack pushed a button and a roof came out of the back bumper and attached to the front. Windows came up from the sides and connected to the roof.
"That's much better. Now we won't die from the gas." Zack turned on an oxygen tank between the front seats.
"The air out there is deadly?" Tails was surprised that they were in that much danger. "What causes the gas?"
"Oh here we go, It's a very scary story. Sure you want to hear it?" The curiosity got the best of Tails.
"Yes, tell me."
"Well...there are creatures that live down here that could kill you just by breathing on you. Or they would just attack you with their claws. It was 23 years ago when they started appearing down there. They were created to be weapons for the military, but somebody let them out of the lab and into the old subway system. They only live in the oldest parts of the subway. Their gas still leaks out here sometimes. The city sealed all the exits of the old subway so they wont kill people. I really don't believe that they are completely out of the way so I made mods to this cart. The roof and oxygen are basic. But I also put guns in the lights and grill. There is extra armor that covers the windows and sides and roof. The last thing is the rocket booster. It makes it go at least 120mph."
"Good because I don't want to face one of those." Tails was a little scared. But they just got out of the tunnel. It turned into an alleyway. Zack pushed a button and it changed back to normal. The tunnel closed up also. They were between two large buildings. They soon got on the main road and made it over to the junkyard. They stopped at the gate and Zack showed the owner a license.
"Thanks again gramps." They drove in and went to the back where all the salvaged planes were. "Well, here we are. We always go here for parts. I was just here 2 days ago. We just call the owner gramps."
"Sweet, look at all the parts." Tails flew over to the parts. He is having a blast.
"Wait for me." Zack ran over to them.
May let out a sigh. "Boys..." She is still looking at his compu-watch. "What's this?" She looked at a folder that said 'Journal'. She opened it. It contained many files that were numbered. There were over a hundred of them. "I'll just open the first one."

Today went so terrible. I cant do any thing right. I crashed my prototype plane. Good thing Sonic picked me off the beach. But I cant believe that Eggman stole that emerald from me. Grrr I hate him so much. Even though I chases him with Sonic's plane he shot me down with that Egg carrier. I don't even know where Sonic is. But I wont give up. I just need to find another emerald to finish my new plane. Bye...Tails out.'
'May 16, 1999 3:30pm
I'm so happy. I saved Station Square all by myself. Sonic will be so proud. I totally beat Eggman and his puny missile and stupid egg walker. I just believed in myself and I beat him. Bye...Tail-'
"That's weird, wonder what happened?"
'May 16, 1999 8:59pm
What a day, the world was saved by Sonic. I wish I could harness the emeralds in my body. Sonic is so cool when he turns super. I've studied the reason why he can do that. Only hedgehogs posses the power to change their thoughts into power. Whenever he does turn super I notice he is a little different. He is definitely ruled by raw emotion. Normally he doesn't get that mad. I wonder If other emotions can fuel the emeralds. But everything is going to be fine now. Sonic can even beat Chaos. I wonder where he went. Bye for now...Tails out.
"Uh-oh, here they come." May quickly turns off the watch. Tails and Zack are carrying a biplane frame. It is in perfect condition except for the propeller. The paint is still on. It is a white and red plane. It has two seats. It looks almost exactly like the original Tornado.
"How lucky are we, this is a great day. I mean this plane is perfect." Tails was flying and holding onto the top wing. Zack is under the plane holding it with pure power.
"Uh...hi guys. How are you both. Because I'm fine. Fine fine fine." She is extremely nervous.
"Psst, why is she acting weird?" Whispered Zack. They set down the plane onto the trailer.
"I don't know, oh god, she's looking at me weird." Tails is getting freaked out. May is walking up to him slowly with a grin. She grabs onto him and looks in his eyes. "Uh...I...Uh..." Tails looks at Zack. "Help Me..."
"I'll help you..." May kissed him. They fell down kissing. It lasted for 5 minutes. Then she let go. Tails was on the ground still. It was like he melted. His face was red and he was smiling at the sky.
"Holy crap. I wish I got that on tape." Zack realized that was not the thing to say. May was giving him the evil eye. She grabbed a metal pipe from the ground. "OH MY GOD...RUN AWAY!" Zack left in a puff of smoke. May chased after him. Zack was hiding on top of a pile of junk. "Whew, I'm safe."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." May was standing behind him and hit him with the pole. He went down. He was twitching a little.
After an hour Tails came out of his shock. Zack came out of unconcienceness. "Owww...my head. Why did you attack me?" She gave the stare again. "Um...nevermind, don't kill me."
"May, that was awesome. I have never been kissed like that." Tails gave her a hug.
"Okay, lets get out of here already." Zack got some cables out of the trunk and gave two to Tails. Tails got out a wrench. They detached the wings and laid them next to the plane. They put the cables onto the whole thing and locked in to place. With that done they left. This time they took a different, safer route. It was going to be a while because of traffic. May laid down on her stomach and turned on the watch again.

I'm here in the capital city hiding from the police. Humans are so stupid. They can't tell the difference between Sonic and a fake hedgehog. I mean, really, they can't tell the difference between blue and black. I have to wait here for Sonic. I can't take anymore of Amy's whining. But Sonic will be here soon with the plan. Amy really loves Sonic. I know he likes her, but he won't admit it. I still can't believe that Eggman destroyed half of the moon. See ya...Tails out.
'June 23, 2001 5:30pm
I beat Eggman for Sonic. I still can't believe he's dead. Amy is taking it real hard. I couldn't know how she feels. I've never loved anyone. I hope she won't let it destroy her. Wait, what's that noise...'
'June 23, 2001 8:15pm
It's finally over. The colony isn't falling anymore. It was pretty cool how they did it. Chaos Control is amazing. But I wish Shadow didn't have to die. He would've loved the earth. I wonder if Sonic will marry Amy now. He has to tell her eventually. I see that Knuckles and Rouge are getting along really well. I can see They are in love. Adios...Tails out.'
They are back in the HQ and started working on the plane. May is sleeping in the Cart. It is well into the night. Tails and Zack are working really hard. At last the new plane is done it looks exactly like the Tornado 2. This time it is orange with purple rudders. "Finally were finished. May wake up I'll let you smash this bottle on it." Tails shouted.
"Okay, I'll do a toast." May grabbed the bottle of champagne. "I christen this vessel to our love." She smashed the bottle on the plane.
"Oh no, I forgot that you wanted to go out tonight, May. I'm sorry. I promise you will have me all day tomorrow." Tails looked at her.
"We still have time to do something tonight, There are plenty of places open past midnight."
"Okay May. Come here please. Zack pull the lever." The floor began to shake. A ramp opened up and stopped at a raised garage door. Tails jumped into the plane and started it up. he pushed a button and the plane started to transform. The wings came apart and made the X shape. Each wing flipped over, so they faced the other way. Then they formed the biplane shape that they were in before the X shape. They moved so that the wings were pointing frontward and then they slid all the way back and locked in place. A door on each side of the tail opened backward and Wheels came horizontally out and down. The doors formed a rear bumper. The wheels from the wings were now attached to the front. The plane became a sleek racer. "Lets go May." She got in the second seat and they drove fast up the ramp and out the door.
