Chapter Twelve
Tails vs. Mecha Tails
A party on the beach is a great idea for everyone to enjoy, but not until something happens at the party that sends everyone into mayhem. The infamous Dr. Robotnik (Eggman) has escaped from his prison cell that he was put in just the day before. He had been sent there not by his arch nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog, but by his genius friend Miles Prower or Tails to his friends. Dr. Robotnik escaped from prison seeking revenge from Tails for putting him there. He has captured members of the royal family and is holding them hostage in his robotic tentacles. Now Robotnik has sent a mechanical double of Tails called Mecha Tails.
Currently, our two combatants were charging at one another with the organic double yelling a battle cry. They both were charging each other at an incredible speed that no one witnessing the fight could see. Tails dodged his double's attack by taking off into the air, but he was grabbed by the leg and tossed along the sands leaving a rift in the sands. Mecha Tails then charged at his organic counterpart with its rockets for another attack. His attack was dodged by Tails as he took off into the air and gave the robot a swift kick in one of its rockets. The attack was enough to cause minimum damage to the rockets but that was not enough to disable them.
Mecha then turned to face Tails with its blasters ready to fire. He opened fire on Tails and Tails climbed higher since he is more nimble while in the air as he dodged the attacks by Mecha. However, while he was dodging, his double got behind him while Tails was distracted. Tails was then hit towards the ground by both fists of his double. The force of the hit had sent him towards the ground. Tails was able to pull himself out of his dive as he flew low to the ground facing his double, who seemed to have stayed where he had hit Tails just earlier.
"Give it up, fox brat! The hedgehog might have been able to defeat his double, but you will fail to destroy yours!" the egg-shaped man shouted and with a laugh at the end as Mecha charged for another attack that only had him hit the sands.
Tails was forced backwards as Mecha charged for another attack with him trying to punch Tails. Tails was able to dodge the robot's attacks, but that was until he grabbed on of Tails' hands while he was dodging before delivering a punch straight to his face giving him a black eye. Tails was sent back a few yards and was able to recover to dodge another attack made by Mecha. However, on the next attack, Tails was grabbed by the leg and thrown to the ground in which he was not able to pull out of since they were too close to the ground.
"You monsieur," the coyote with the French accent said drawing out his rapier as Mecha Tails landed on the ground with its blaster raised, "have no honor while dueling!"
He approached the robot with one hand behind his back as he attempted to fight him like he was fencing. However his rapier was not meant to be a slashing blade like a samurai sword, but as a thrusting blade. He attempts to thrust the robot while ignoring the cries of the others and as Tails recovered from the previous blow to him. The robot dodged the coyote's attack and grabbed his rapier before he broke it like it was a very thin piece of glass. The coyote was stunned that his blade was broken and he didn't even notice that the robot had one of its fists ready for an attack. He punches the coyote on the nose and that sends him into a guard that stood where he stood shocked at what was happening. The force of the punch had sent both of them into a palm tree, which broke due to the force of the punch. They both laid on the ground unconscious.
"Interference will not be tolerated!" Mecha Tails in a monotone voice as others had gone to the aid of the downed guard and coyote.
Tails took the opportunity to attack Mecha while he was distracted and he had hit him on the side of the head. The force of the kick had knocked Mecha back a few feet before he had recovered with the side of his head slightly damaged revealing parts of its circuitry. Mecha had charged at Tails but he missed the attack and he followed Tails as he retreated away from the shore of the beach. Tails turned around to face his double after going out only a few hundred feet from the shore.
"Probability of success is less than one percent. Resistance is futile. Remaining options for survival: surrender," Mecha told Tails.
Tails said nothing while he hovered just inches from the waves of the ocean. He did something that caught everyone, even Mecha Tails, by surprise. He used his tails to create a whirlpool that came out of the water and inundated Mecha with water. Mecha was sent backwards as he was consumed by the whirlpool. After the whirlpool had vanished, Mecha had been soaked by the water and he was still flying despite that he was wet. Small sparks could be seen coming from where Tails had hit him in the head. The robot shut down and he fell towards the water. However, he was caught by his creator with one of his robotic tentacles.
"You'll pay for this!" the man shouted as he left with his robot and hostages as Tails went in pursuit of him back towards the city.
Elsewhere in the city of Padre, the demented scientist's nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been currently busy destroying the doctor's new creations, SWAT-bots, within the resort city. Hundreds of destroyed robots littered the streets of the city as Sonic continuously destroyed the robots one-by-one. The majority of the city had been evacuated but there were still stragglers left in the city.
"Great," the hedgehog thought as he crushed another robot with his feet, "more of these stupid robots trying to stop me!"
Sonic jumps off the robot that he had hit and uses his signature move, the Sonic Spin, against another robot. Something catches his eye as he dodges a laser shot and it looked like a manufacturing plant that he had destroyed the day before. Sonic advances towards the manufacturing plant with his incredible speed as he dodged the lasers by the SWAT-bots. Sonic rushes towards the control panel and used his Sonic Spin to penetrate the panel in order to destroy the circuitry within it. He bores his way through to the other side and all of the SWAT-bots became disabled.
After destroying the consol, Sonic spotted two objects flying overhead and he recognized both of them to be his best friend, Tails, and his arch nemesis, Dr. Robotnik. Sonic followed them the best he could but he ran into more SWAT-bots as he came around a corner. They opened fire on Sonic as he rounded the corner and Sonic had to retreat back around the corner until the firing stopped. They stopped firing and Sonic charged at them before they could recommence firing. He took out several of them as he passed them and continued to follow the two figures flying overhead. Sonic came across more manufacturing plants and these two were guarded by gun turrets that shot out explosive shells. He also had to dodge machinegun fire as he approached the area. Sonic had to change his attack tactic from head-on to a distance tactic. He ran around to the other side but he ran into more resistance which consisted of more gun turrets, machinegun fire, and now rockets. Something landed near Sonic as he dodged the incoming projectiles; it was a grenade. He quickly picked it up and launched it towards the incoming firepower. It explodes and it destroyed everything in the area. All of the SWAT-bots in the area were also disabled. Sonic then continued his pursuit of the now vanishing figures.
Tails had continued his midair chase as Sonic continued to destroy any of the doctor's creations on the ground. Robotnik took a steep nosedive as they reached the airfield that they were approaching. Tails follows him through a large hanger that housed multiple aircraft. Tails pressed a small button that is concealed within his glove and something was launched from a blue biplane that they were approaching. Tails grabbed it, which was a backpack, and put it on knowing that he was going to need it for what was to come. Unknown to Robotnik, Tails had a backup backpack full with more of his inventions that were more deadly than his previous batch. Tails continued his pursuit as Sonic struggled to keep up since he ran into even more of the doctor's creations.
Tails followed Robotnik towards a metallic structure in the center of the city of Padre but was trapped out by a slamming door. Tails set one of his inventions on the sealed door and pressed a button on it before he backed away several feet from the structure. It exploded and destroyed the steel door that Robotnik had just shut. Tails entered the structure to find that Robotnik had just put the hostages he was carrying into a cylindrical holding cell.
"You will pay for putting me into that prison, fox boy!" Robotnik said as he turned to see Tails landing on the ground after he had put the prisoners in their cells.
Sonic had just destroyed another manufacturing plant as he continued towards the structure that he saw Robotnik enter. He bypasses the disabled SWAT-bots as he enters the smoldering entrance that could be seen from his current location. As soon as he landed, he could see that Tails and Robotnik were now fighting each other and the four hostages in their cells. Sonic charges at Robotnik and hits him in the back of the head before landing in front of a control panel.
"Give it up Eggman! Didn't prison teach you a lesson!" Sonic remarked after he had gotten his nemesis's attention.
Robotnik opens fire on Sonic but only ends up hitting the control panel that Sonic was standing in front of. The blasts triggers something that was not noticed in the room by Sonic and Tails.
"You foolish--" was all Robotnik could say before a bright light blinded everyone in the room.
After the light had vanished, Robotnik was gone but Sonic became worried that Tails was nowhere to be seen. Sonic frantically searched the area where Tails had stood but he was nowhere to be seen as the captured hostages watch on as Sonic continued to search for his friend while he ignored the others in the room.
What just happened? Tails and Sonic's arch nemesis, Dr. Robotnik, vanished before their eyes. What was Robotnik's plan for world domination this time and where did he and Tails end up?

This is Tails! I land in a familiar area that is from my childhood before I had gotten separated from my parents. I journey to the nearest city that was my home for the first five years of my life, but the city is not what I remember it to be. It is replaced by a robotic city full of metal and SWAT-bots. Something is not right! I know of only two options to explain this: time travel or the theoretical dimensional travel. I need to return home but I must stop Eggman before he can set his plan into motion. Find out what happens next time!
