Chapter Fifteen
The Return Home
A small village of huts in the middle of the forest looks like a peaceful village. However, the village serves two purposes: a safe haven for those who came from a city that is now under the control of an evil dictator and the headquarters of a group of freedom fighters led by the banished monarch of the nearby city, Princess Sally. The village is a simple village made up of huts made from wood and straw and the village is surrounded by a creak that ran around the village that is named Knothole.
Inside one of the huts, which looks like a war room for the resident freedom fighters, there is a small group of inhabitants looking at a holographic image of their former city that is now made up of metal and factories. There is a blue hedgehog pacing back and forth occasionally tapping his foot rapidly before pacing again, a light brown squirrel with a blue vest deep in thought over the map, a light brown rabbit with a robotic arm and legs standing near the squirrel, a purple walrus looking at the map, a light brown coyote in a uniform was standing with his arms crossed also looking over the map, a young orange-brown mixed fox with twin tails sitting on a dresser looking from his perch at the map, a teal colored reptile-like creature looking through a window since it was too big to fit into the hut, and a red fox near the age of the twin-tailed fox also looking over the map.
"Okay," the red fox started, "these areas have been hit and should be shut down," he pointed to each of the buildings on the map and the became brighter to they stood out more. "The power and security systems should still be down and I hope that my computer virus is not discovered."
"I also hope that security is still down so that we can get rid of that double so that we can reclaim Mobotropolis and to restore it to its former glory," the squirrel spoke. "Okay, here's the plan. Sonic, you and Tails, will stay on the outskirts of the city and draw out any remaining security that is left and Tails," she turns to the twin-tailed fox. "Stay close to Sonic."
"I will 'Aunt' Sally," the fox replied as he dropped from his perch.
"Dulcy, Rotor, and Antoine will do recon from the air," squirrel named Sally continued. "That just leaves Bunnie, Amadeus, and myself to sneak into the central control room to take out that robotic double and the Robotnik double. Any questions?" no one spoke after her question. "Good, we leave in an hour."
The hour had past while everyone who would participate in the raid were too busy to talk to anyone else. They all had left the village of Knothole and proceeded towards their former home in order to remove the newly reinstated dictator. They had reached a hill that overlooked the city.
"Okay Sonic," Sally spoke breaking the silence as they looked over the city, "you and Tails go ahead and stay in contact with each other for any updates." her voice had become very stern as she talked towards Sonic.
"You know me Sal, always sticking to the plan," Sonic replied in a cocky tone. "Let's go T2!" he takes off kicking up dust with Tails following closely behind him before Sally could even argue back.
Elsewhere in the robotic city within the central headquarters, there is a man shaped like an egg sitting in a chair as he looked through the darkness within the compound.
"When I get my hands on you fox-boy; you are going to pay for what you did to my new city." the man said in a menacing tone before he slammed his fist onto the armrest with a devastating clunk. "How much longer until power is restored?"
Out in the darkness, a voice replied with a sniveling tone. "We seem to have a problem sir. The power is still out and any communication to all parts of the city are out. Whoever did this seems to not want the city active any more." A devastating clunk was heard and the sniveling man gave out a scream that caused him to fall over.
"I see nothing unusual in Robotropolis except for the lack of security and SWAT-bots not attacking us. Over," Sonic spoke into his com-link when he and Tails stopped in an alleyway.
"The power must still be down and that may be the reason the SWAT-bots are not responding," Sally responded into her com-link as her group stealthily made their way towards the command center of Robotropolis. "Rotor, do you see anything unusual? Over!"
"Negative, Sally," Rotor spoke as Dulcy took him and Antoine over the city. "The radar systems must still be down if the SWAT-bots are not responding to our presence. Over!"
"Okay, Sonic and Tails. Meet us in front of Robotnik's headquarters. Over," Sally spoke into her com-link.
"Sure thing Sal! Over," Sonic replied into his com-link.
Sonic and Tails had joined Sally and her group behind a junk pile in front of the central command center.
"What's the situation, Sal?" Sonic asked her after he had stopped.
"All security drones are down and we met no resistance as we made our way here. We need to enter through the air ducts so that we can return Amadeus and that Robotnik back to their proper dimensions."
As the small group of freedom fighters entered through the air ducts; inside the command center, the power came on inside the room where two humans were present.
"Now get the security back online so that we will have no interruptions in my plans to rule the world!" the egg-shaped man spoke.
"Yes sir," the sniveling man spoke as he returned to work as he muttered under his breath as he spoke of insults towards the man and saying that he will meet his end just like his uncle weeks before him.
Just then a creaking sound was heard before a thundering crash was heard. Apparently the air duct that was above them gave way to the weight of the occupants in that section of air duct.
"Mecha! Get them!" the egg-shaped man shouted as the dust settled.
The roar of an engine was heard and it became louder as it came closer. Something was approaching them and then a thundering crush was heard as if something metal had hit something. It was a blue hedgehog and the egg-shaped man's face became enraged.
"You'll pay for this you walking pincushion!" the man yelled as robotic tentacles came out and picked up the downed robot.
Just then he was hit in the back between the shoulders and he fell to the floor hard face first.
"Have a nice trip?" a voice spoke from on top of the man.
The man became enraged and grabbed the one on his back with one of his tentacles before transferring the one who hit him to both of his hands as he tried to choke the orange, blue eyed, twin-tailed fox.
"Any last words fox brat?" he asked.
"Yes," the fox spoke in a calm manner even though his voice was becoming hoarse. "Sayonara," he pressed a button on one of the man's wrists and they both disappeared in a bright light.
"Do you think they have returned to their own dimension?" the squirrel asked.
"I don't know Sal. I don't know," the blue hedgehog replied.
Elsewhere…
"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.
Just then, another flash of light was seen just near the prison tubes that held its prisoners. Out came an egg-shaped man holding a robot in a robotic tentacle and after him came a young twin-tailed orange fox. Then an explosion was heard opening on one of the walls an in came uniformed troops brandishing weapons. They secured the area while taking the egg-shaped man and the freed hostages to safety leaving Sonic and his young friend behind.
"Where'd you go Tails?" Sonic asked him with a concerned tone.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you Sonic," his friend could only say with a broad grin on his face.
The next morning, the young fox named Tails was in a hanger doing routine maintenance on a blue biplane with a fox-like creature dressed like a pilot with a bandage around its head as it sat on one of the wings of the biplane.
"So Tails," a voice spoke startling the fox and it was only Sonic, "I guess this is good-bye for now since you are returning home with your parents."
"I'm sorry Sonic, but this is something that I need to do and I would love to come with you, but I can't," Tails replied as he was cleaning off his hands with a greased towel.
Sonic gave Tails a firm handshake before he left the hanger without saying another 'good-bye' and Tails understood this and he continued his work. Tails knew that he needed to be with his family know and he never told Sonic that he had one before him; however, he will still have his memories of Sonic in his heart and somehow he knew that he would see Sonic again.
The duo between Sonic and Tails has temporarily ended, but how long will this duo stay apart? Tails has now been reunited with his family and his close circle of friends that he once had before he met Sonic. What shall Sonic do without his young protégé with him and to help him out when it came to something mechanical. Only time will tell until the world renowned hero of the world and the young hero who saved Station Square from a life threatening missile attack are reunited once again.
Preview:
This is Tails! After returning home to the city of Mobotropolis, I have made a few new friends as well as a few enemies. I have a funny feeling that Bruise has been spreading rumors that I'm not to be trusted, but can they discredit that I fought against the most feared scientist in the world? I take a flight in my biplane with Ace after plans for a trip to another kingdom with the royal family have been cancelled for an unknown reason. After making an emergency landing in the outskirts of the city, I run into the leader of the Battle Bird Armada (again? Does this guy ever give up?). Anyways, I'm reunited with Sonic again and we (along with two new allies) must stop the Battle Bird Armada once again in their plans for world domination. Find out what happens next time!
Post Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of action in this chapter since this is only a filler chapter and I promise there will be more action in the next chapter and also more of the multiple Sonic universes added into the fic. If you know what happens next; PLEASE don't spoil it for anyone in you reviews.
