Axy!

Axel was inside Katrina's house when Artail knocked on the door. It took several minutes for him to answer. "Hey Artail, what's up?" Artail jumped up and down several times.

"Wanna play? I got a new toy! It's a Slymasore!" Axel knelt down on his knees.

"Wow really? Well let's play then!" Axel of course, had no idea what the thing was, but being a good father-figure, he decided to spend time with him. Artail picked up the action figure and thrusted it toward Axel and said "boom!" Axel fell backwards. "Oh, you got me!" Artail laughed.

"Silly little Axy! You're much too strong for Slymasore, you don't die! Ha ha ha!" Axel smiled at his childish joke, when all of sudden, Artail jumped up.

"BADABOOM!" Artail was then gone. Axel sat there confused.

"So... I lose? Well that sucks." He stood up and decided to go for a walk.

Some Not-so-Random Questions

Jewel was now walking in the forest, thinking out loud. "Shadow... the ultimate life form. Who are you? And why are you in my dreams? I will find you... but then what?" She was now looking up at the sky. She lost her balance when she heard a voice behind her.

"You must be Jewel." It was Knuckles. Jewel turned around.

"You, you're an Echidna." Knuckles nodded.

"Surprised? My names Knuckles, protector of the Master Emerald." Jewel lowered her head.

"The Master Emerald?" Knuckles laughed.

"Yeah, why?" Jewel had a confused look on her face.

"The Master Emerald was mentioned in my dream." Knuckles didn't say anything, he just left after another small laugh. Jewel decided it was time to head back anyway.

When she arrived at Tails' house, Tiffany was now watching TV. Jewel instantly froze again when she saw her. Tiffany stood up and walked towards her. "Don't be afraid... I'm not." Tiffany smiled and left the room, leaving Jewel very confused. She walked in Tails' bedroom to find it empty. On the dresser she saw a picture of Shadow.

"So... this is Shadow, the ultimate life form..." Tails suddenly waked in.

"Ummm, any particular reason you're in my bedroom?" This startled Jewel.

"Huh? Oh, no, not really." Another question suddenly popped in her head. "Hey, what did Tiffany mean when she said she wasn't afraid?" Tails shrugged.

"I dunno, she thinks of you as competition." Jewel raised one eyebrow.

"Competition? For what?" Tails laughed.

"She thinks uhh... she thinks you're hitting on me." Jewel laughed.

"What? I'm just having fun." Tails shrugged again.

"I know, but Tiffany can get jealous." Jewel walked over to the door.

"Well be sure to tell her that she has nothing to worry about." Tails nodded.

The Dream

"It is complete! Finally, a counterpart... now, where did I put that thing?"

light flashes

"Ahh, you're awake, tell me, how are you feeling? I'm sure you'll feel right at home here."

light flashes

"I want you to meet someone, he's not awake yet, but I'm sure you'll love him. Let me introduce, the ultimate life form!"

light flashes

"What are you doing? Get away from her! She wasn't created for you!"

light flashes

The sound of glass breaking can be heard, as well as emergency procedures sealing off the exposed area. "NO! Look what you did! After all that work! Wasted!"

light flashes

Extreme heat can be felt, and soon, a hard landing on the ground.

light flashes

"You poor little thing, let me... safer there... promise."

light flashes

"Jewel! Jewel! Are you ok?" Jewel awoke on the couch. "It's two in the morning, are you ok?" Jewel was still a little dizzy. Tails and Tiffany were standing next to her.

"Yeah... I'm fine, just a dream, I'm ok, really." Tiffany and Tails were not satisfied. Tails sat down in a chair.

"What was the dream about?" Jewel looked up, barely hearing the question.

"I don't know... but I know it was about me. Me and... the ultimate life form." Tiffany soon sat down as well, realizing this would take some time.

"Shadow never said anything about you, Tails, did he say anything to you?" Tails shook his head. Jewel shook her head as well.

"In my dream, the ultimate life form; Shadow, wasn't awake. We were in some sort of lab." Tails instantly knew where the dream took place.

"That's the ARK." Jewel looked confused.

"The what?" Tails explained.

"Shadow was created to be the ultimate life form on a space colony called ARK. But how and why you were there puzzles me. Was there anything else?" Jewel nodded.

"Yeah, there was the sound of glass breaking, then some alarms went off while someone kept shouting." Tails and Tiffany's questions stopped here, as Tikal raced in, Knuckles and TR followed. Tiffany stood up.

"What's going on?"

First Signs

TR spoke first. "Something's happened to the Mainland." Tikal continued.

"Angel City's been destroyed!" Tails now stood up.

"By who?" Knuckles entered the conversation.

"We don't know, but it wasn't by any human, or a machine." Jewel finally regained full consciousness and walked outside saying,

"I wanna see." When she looked down, it was gone. There wasn't even a crater; it was as if a city never stood there before. Tails squinted, trying to make out small details.

"How could something do that? There's no fire, no smoke, nothing!" Knuckles was now speaking, still looking where Angel City once stood.

"The emeralds were used to do this." Axel, Artail, and Katrina arrived. Axel scratched the back of his head.

"What's everyone staring at?" He looked down where they were looking and couldn't figure it out. "There's nothing there, what's got you all so freaked?" Katrina hit him.

"Even I know that Angel City used to sit there, it's gone!" Axel jumped back, running into Artail.

"What?" Artail jumped on Axel's head to get a better look. Axel almost fell, but regained balance.

"No bonus?" Axel looked up at Artail.

"Nope, no bonus, game over." Artail looked down.

"Aww, that's no fun." Artail didn't seem like he got just how bad this was, but no one took the time to explain in full detail. Axel shook his head and left. Knuckles turned.

"You're leaving already?" Axel looked perplexed.

"Well... yeah, what else am I supposed to do?" Knuckles shrugged. One by one everyone went back inside and went to bed. The End... no, not really, I can't back that up.

Sonic VII

TR was sitting with Knuckles, reading an old CD box; which said, "New Sonic VII, Buy Now!" TR looked at it laughing.

"I beat this damn thing ages ago." Knuckles looked at him funny.

"You bought the thing yesterday!" TR threw the box down so hard, it crumbled up.

"Knuckles, you gotta get yourself a life." Knuckles uppercutted him.

"You gotta get yourself an easy button!" Knuckles said this with a smile on his face, happy at the fact that TR; rather than himself, was confused. TR became confused.

"!" Suddenly, Artail zipped up behind TR, making him jump into the air. "WHAT THE FUCK?" Artail laughed.

"BONUS POINTS!" Knuckles laughed at TR as he gave Artail some imaginary bonus points. TR landed on Knuckles' hand.

"Artail… what do you want?" Artail showed him a picture that made TR quit. Knuckles looked… dare I say, confused.

"What?" Artail showed him the picture.

"Knuckles, what is this?" Knuckles' eyes widened as he grabbed the picture away from him.

"Where the hell did you find something such as this!" Artail jumped up in excitement.

"On the computer." TR stood up, dirt on his face.

"Whose computer?" Artail stared blankly, not knowing why it mattered.

"Tails'." TR took the picture and looked at it once more. He then quit again. Knuckles took the picture and threw it away.

"Artail, I don't want to see you anywhere near Tails' computer." Artail tilted his head.

"Why?" Knuckles paused.

"Because… this stuff is not for people with the name of Artail, and if people with name Artail go messing around with these things, then that person will lose all of their bonus points." Artail started flipping out.

"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Artail disappeared with a loud pop. TR decided to un-quit and rejoined Knuckles.

"What was Artail doing with a picture like that?" Knuckles shook his head.

"More importantly, why does Tails have that kind of stuff on his computer!"

Tails' Computer

Artail was jumping up down on his way to Tails and Tiffany's house. When he arrived, he knocked on the door. Tiffany answered.

"Oh, hi Artail, what's up?" Artail was jumping around as usual.

"Can I use your computer?" Tiffany nodded.

"Sure." Artail hopped in and went for Tails' computer, wanting answers for the mysterious things he saw. Artail just figured he had so many bonus points; he could spend them to not get in trouble. When he got on the computer, he started searching for the file that he had previously been in. He soon found it with no trouble at all, and began searching through it. Various pictures and movies came up that greatly confused him. He saw many words as well, such as machine, tentacle, fantasy, stars, and personal. Artail went through every one, and not one made sense. Until he opened the personal folder. After performing this action, it became clear… or as clear as it was gonna get. He saw pictures, and not just any pictures of Tiffany and Katrina and other people he had never heard of. Two of those people were Sally and Amy. Suddenly, Tiffany walked in. "What in blazes is going on here!" Artail whipped around faster then you could say bonus.

"Tiff, can you tell me what all this stuff is?" Tiffany had just noticed what was on the screen.

"What the hell?" On the screen was a video of Tiffany. Her face went red. "Artail, please leave." Artail was confused, yet somehow he felt like he had lost all his bonus points.

"What's…"

"Now!" Artail jumped back and left faster than he had ever left before. Tiffany stood there in a mixture of anger, embarrassment, and confusion. "TAILS!" Artail was now spying through the window, actually being still. Tails walked in confused.

"What's wrong?" He had just noticed his computer when he was suddenly forced back into the next room. Apparently, Tiffany had hit him… go figure. Tiffany followed him.

"WTF IS THIS SHIT?" She was pointing to his computer. Artail whispered mockingly to himself,

"Uh-oh, looks like Tails is getting game over, more bonus points for me!" Tails' eyes were now widened to da maX.

"I uh…" Tails was interrupted by another kick, forcing him into the last room.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tails was finding it hard to speak.

"Why are you taking this so seriously?" This was obviously the wrong thing to say. I tell you this because Tails soon got game over. Tiffany walked into in the computer room and explored all aspects of it. This only enraged her. She re-entered the room that Tails' body laid.

"So I'm not good enough for you?" Tails sighed as he could easily predict the future. Tiffany picked up Tails' computer and shoved it on his head. Artail laughed… a lot. Tails stood up and tried to walk… but failed miserably. Tiffany couldn't get any more pissed. "If you wanna look at me or whoever else you have on there, you better make damn sure I'm with you from now on!" This through Tails way off, in fact, you might say he fell off the planet.

"Whadya mean?" Tiffany took the computer off his head, smiling. Stile Jay Ream has struck again for obvious reasons Artail walked away slowly wide eyed, instantly understanding everything he had witnessed on the computer.
