Chapter 12 : Stuffed Imposter

Tails' Workshop – Mystic Ruins Hill Top

"Ah man, where are they," Sonic said impatiently looking around the workshop.

"Gah, I can't stand this stupid thing," He said scratching at his cast, "How am I supposed to get anything done in this?"

He stood up and paced around the run, passing Froggy, Cheese and Chocola multiple times. Then suddenly, he heard a loud crash outside.

"What was that!" He walked outside and saw what looked to be the back of Tails, "Tails thank god it's only you."

Tails quickly turned around, but he didn't move his legs at all, he hovered.

"GAH! You're not Tails!" It wasn't Tails, it was Tails Doll. Tails Doll was an enchanted doll replicated to look like Tails. It was originally a life this target used for shooting practice on Eggman's ship but when Eggman discovered a mysterious jewel, he needed to test it on something. He attached the jewel to the top of the dolls head and it instantly came to life. It had every move Tails knew and a few of it's own.

"Tails Doll, what are you doing here," Sonic exclaimed.

The doll just stood there, staring. Sonic quickly ran towards it and jumped in the air preparing to kick when Tails Doll grabbed his leg.

"Hey! Let go of me you stuffed imposter!"

He didn't listen and swung Sonic around above his head. Sonic struggled to get free and eventually did.

"Ah man, I can't do a spin dash on this thing, my arm is too much pain. Gotta think of something else," Sonic said, "Of course!"

He jumped high in the air and straightened himself out. He was picking up high speeds and looked to be a blue bullet headed straight towards the doll. Tails Doll just looked up at Sonic.

"You're dead fluff," Sonic shouted. Tails Doll grabbed him and flung him around again.

"Darn it."
Tails Doll through Sonic into the air and hit him with his Tail off into the distance.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Sonic screamed as he flew through the air.

Froggy, Cheese and Chocola came out of the workshop to see what was going on. Tails Doll hovered off down the stairs and away from the workshop.

"Chao chao, Tails," Cheese said to Chocola. Chao couldn't speak very good English, with the exception of few, like Chemon.

"Oh, chao che Sonic," Chocola said pointing at a blue flash flying in the distance.

"Ribbit," Froggy croaked. Animals and Chao could understand each other perfectly, so communicating for them wasn't hard.

"Chao chao Froggy," Cheese yelled.

"Ribbit."

"Chao chao, tell Cream," Cheese said.

"Chao uh uh," Chocola replied.

The three knew they had to do something, but they weren't sure what.

"UH!" Cheese shouted figuring something out, "Chocola, Froggy, cha Sonic. Cheese che cho Cream." He pointed at the workshop.

"Ribbit?" Froggy croaked.

"Chao che find Sonic," Cheese said.

Froggy and Chocola nodded and headed off in the directions Sonic went flying in.

"What cho Cheese?" Chocola asked.

"Che cho Cream," Cheese said pointing at the workshop.

Chocola nodded and followed Froggy. Cheese went back in the workshop to wait for Cream. These little guys were in for something.
