Chapter 13: VS Water Tails
-
There was no way out of battle with Water Tails. We were still out of the water, and I was dry by now, so I started my wings and flew up above the water. W.T. swam through the water and splashed on me, water-logging me quickly and causing me to plummet.
SPLASH! I hit the water's surface right next to W.T. "Good shot," I muttered. "But you won't get that lucky again."
W.T. gave me a fast underwater punch, knocking me into the wall. I knew that this guy was the strongest when in the water, so I had to get him out of it in order to gain the advantage. The cave was half flooded with water, though, so this wouldn't be easy.
I dove underwater and tried to out-manuever W.T., but I had a hard time of it; he was faster than I was, and he didn't need to surface for air. He connected with another punch, and I was knocked into the floor.
Scrambling to reach the beach, I managed to get on shore and dry out my wings. I lay motionless there for a moment, exhausted.
W.T. stepped out of the water and approached me. "Is there anything you'd like to say before your defeat, Leo?"
An idea instantly popped into my head. "Yes, there is." I grabbed W.T.'s leg, got up, and threw him into the wall. "You should never underestimate someone who came all the way here."
Coughing, W.T. recovered quickly. "That was a cheap shot, Leo. But I can assure you that it won't happen again."
"I beg to differ," I retorted as I got out a feather and prepared to shoot it at my amphibious opponent. He dodged it, though, and dove into the water once more, knocking me in as well.
As W.T. dashed at me and attempted to connect with another punch, I threw an Ice Feather in front of him. The water ahead froze only for a split second, but that second was more than enough for W.T. to smack into the ice and hurt himself.
W.T. rubbed his head for a moment while I returned to the shore. I shot another feather at him from above the water's surface, and managed to nail him this time. He wasn't too happy about it, but then again, he wasn't exactly ecstatic to begin with.
Furious, W.T. sped at me. The propeller engine that the two of us had deactivated lay next to me. I picked it up and clonked him on the head with it, doing so gently so I wouldn't kill him.
I smiled as W.T. fell to the ground once more, but he pulled me into the water again. The fight went on for a while. I don't know how long it lasted, but it was a few minutes at least. It didn't end until W.T. had me pinned to the sandy shore.
"You're making a big mistake!" I blurted out. "That propeller was not my work!"
"If it wasn't your work," W.T. shot back, "then whose was it?"
Picking up the note that we'd found, I gave it to W.T. to look at. He looked it over, and found that it had been written on stationery with the Dr. Eggman insignia on it. More importantly, on the back was printed:
Evil Genius
W.T. blinked. "This Dr. Eggman guy tried to frame you?"
I nodded.
Realizing the grave mistake he'd made, W.T. got off of me. "I'm-I'm extremely sorry about that, Leo," he finally said.
"Eh, it's okay," I assured him. "I can understand the error."
"Okay then. By the way, there has to have been some reason that you came here. What was it?"
"Do you know where I can find a glowing seashell?"
"Sure. Just a moment."
W.T. bent down and brushed some of the sand to the side, revealing a seashell that glowed brilliantly. "Will this do?"
I took the shell. "I'm fairly sure it will do, W.T. Thanks."
"Anytime. Want a lift back to the entrance?"
"I'd appreciate that."
After that, we both jumped into the water again, and W.T. took me back to where I'd entered and left me on the shore. I waved to W.T. from the shore as he departed, then I left in the opposite direction and headed for Tails' lab.

Glad that's settled, eh? I'm not much good at scripted battles, as I stated earlier.
