Episode 2: The Truth is Revealed
Tails slowly awoke to the sounds and smells of breakfast. "Mmm… food…" he mumbled, before activating TD2-76543, who followed Tails downstairs. He saw Rouge and Amy, who were in their pajamas, and a very freaked out Sonic. "Um," Tails started, "What's wrong, Sonic?"
Sonic turned to him. "Wrong? Is something wrong? There's nothing wrong here! What does wrong even mean?" Sonic then started to spin around in circles like a ballerina. Tails just continued on.
"Master," TD2-76543 said, "Something is definitely wrong with Sonic. What do you think it is?"
"I dunno. Maybe Shadow's cooking…" Tails said, then shuddered. Shadow can't cook. "Well, whatever it is, it isn't… our…" Tails stopped in his tracks when he saw who was cooking.
There, in the kitchen, floated The Tails Doll, cooking merrily and chatting with Shadow, who seemed to see nothing wrong with the little doll.
"So, the doctor said it MIGHT grow back, but the chances are very slim," it was saying to Shadow, who was nodding his head, "But I'm a freakin' ROBOT! How'd that thing get there in the first place, never mind how would it grow back? Seriously!"
Shadow nodded again, then said, "I totally agree. What the heck is up with that?"
"Beats me. But, before that thing was out, I barely remember ANYTHING! Except those two cat… things… god, those things were freaky."
Tails blinked. Then rubbed his eyes. Then blinked. Then slapped himself. Then turned to MiMi, which is what we'll be calling his doll. "… is what I'm seeing real?" he asked.
MiMi nodded slowly. "Affirmative. The Tails Doll… is in our household."
Hearing the voices, both Shadow and The Tails Doll turned. The Tails Doll looked kinda different from when Tails first met it. The red jewel from it's forehead was nowhere to be seen. It smiled. Sorta. "Hi, Tails!" it exclaimed, "How are you this fine morning?" Tails fainted. "… I guess you don't like bacon and cheese omelets…" It turned to MiMi. "Um… who and slash or WHAT are you?"
"I am TD2-76543, or MiMi, and I was created to destroy you." MiMi replied.
"… good one!" Tails Doll replied. "Why would you destroy me?"
"You seriously damaged several of my cohorts, including TD2-34353, and caused many burnings of others, also killing, possessing and torturing several innocent people."
"… so THAT'S what I did when I was being controlled!" The Tails Doll exclaimed.
Tails, Shadow, and MiMi stared at the Tails Doll. "… you were being controlled?" they asked in unison.
"Oh, yeah," it explained, "You might as well get everyone in here; I'm not relaying this twice." So everyone came into the kitchen to hear the Tails Doll's story. "Alrighty, then! Once upon a time, there was a red jewel in my forehead. People always thought that was where my energy came from. No. That thing is somewhere in my stomach. But the jewel housed some malfunctioning programs. I.E., it housed the programs that made me kill people. But they weren't supposed to be there. They were implanted there by someone who ISN'T me OR my creator. So, essentially, I was being controlled. I have absolutely NO recollection of what went on then. But when the jewel was removed, I got back in control!"
Everyone stared.
"… the red jewel thing on my forehead is evil."
"Oh. Okay!" everyone said as comprehension sank in.
"Great! WHO WANTS OMLETTES?" The Tails Doll yelled.
"WE DO!" Everyone said. The Tails Doll looked at the 'omlettes'. They had burnt to a crisp while he was explaining. "… um… how about McChicken's instead?"
"… THAT WORKS TOO!" And so, they went down to McChicken's. Everyone but Tails. He had recovered, and was writing everything in a log. But will the evil red gem grow back? Will we find out who implanted the jewel? We will find out… IN THE NEXT EPISODE!
