Author's Note: This is the second half of the episode. This one focuses on our favorite two-tailed fox. I tried my best at the fight scenes, but I've felt that I've made it too short but ah well. I'm just getting started with the action and I'm going to do my best with this story. This episode is a homage to one of my favorite animes ever, FLCL (or Fooly Cooly if y'all don't know)! Despite the writing flaws, I am actually proud of this episode as it shows how far I've come and my dedication to this story and it's characters. It doesn't help that I am a workaholic with an insane work ethic. But I digress.

For Knuckles and Julie-Su's personality and dynamic. I've based both of them on Shorty and Brenda Meeks from the Scary Movie franchise (Even though Shorty and Brenda are siblings.). I don't know why I portray Knuckles and Julie-Su as a black couple and decided to give Knuckles the personality of a weed smoker wanksta. I guess I've found it funny. I would also like to add that another character I used as a template for Knuckles is B-Rad from the movie Malibu's Most Wanted. It's a good movie and I recommend for y'all to watch it.

For Bunnie's appearance in this series, I've based it off of her slight redesign from Archie's Sonic the hedgehog issue #94-125. I love her Daisy Duke outfit and I find Bunnie with shoulder-length hair to be criminally underrated, so that's why I decided to add it in this series. I slightly retconned Bunnie's appearance in chapter 6 by giving her large breasts. I did it as a joke and an excuse to give the series an ecchi running gag along with fan service where she unknowingly smothers Tails with her large breasts LMAO! And just to answer some of y'all questions about whose breasts are bigger, Bunnie's or Rouge's. Well, neither. They're both the same size but once again, I digress.

And I also want to thank those who encourage me to keep going. Much love to all y'all. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Good reading my dawgs!

Season 1 Episode 12

Portal Gateway

-Welcome to the fanfiction world of Sonic the hedgehog. A world unique and far different from what you know from the SEGA games and official publications. Where our focus is on a two-tailed fox named Miles "Tails" Prower.-

-In Tails' Room-

The yellow kitsune was asleep in his bed, all hot and sweaty as his eyes were closed shut. The expression on his face looked like he was having an unpleasant experience. "Mmrrmmph... mmnph...!" he tossed and turned in bed. We get a look into his head and the dream is indeed an unpleasant one.

The dream shows us a scene where Tails is badly wounded as he is on one knee as he is wielding a large sword that resembles the Zankaputo from Bleach. He looks up, with scrapes all over him as he looks up with one of his eye closed. Sally is behind him as she tries to help him up.

"Th-this can't be..." he trembles as he struggles to stand up as he looks at someone.

"Careful Miles." says the red haired chipmunk as she helps him up.

"I thought you we defeated you!" shouts the two-tailed kitsune. Who he was talking to was none other than Dr. Eggman as he sat comfortably in his Egg Mobile.

"OH HO HO HOOO!" laughs the doctor as he looks down at the wounded kitsune. "You should know by now little fox. I am just like a rubber ball. No matter how hard you throw me against the wall, I will always bounce back!" the doctor leans forward on his Egg Mobile as his face becomes shadowy. All you can see is the glare of his glasses and his white teeth as he gives the kitsune and the chipmunk an evil grin. "Come on out!" he snaps his fingers.

Tails' forehead glows bright red and he drops his sword to feel on his forehead. "Wait... NO! AAAAAH!" he screams out in pain as a plush hand emerges from his forehead.

Eggman smiles as he looks down at the kitsune and the chipmunk. "Yes! Yes! YES!" he pumps his fist in the air. "My brilliant plan is working!"

Sally looks in horror as she sees her friend suffer in pain as something comes out of his forehead.

Another plush hand comes out and pushes down on his head, trying to pull itself out. "AAAAH!" screams the kitsune in pain as he falls on his knees.

*SCHLORP!*

Out comes the plush and it falls on the ground covered in red liquid. It resembled Tails and it had an metal antenna with a red gem over it's head. Eggman grins at it as Sally looks at it with a mixture of fear and confusion. Tails, on his knees with both hands on the ground looks down as he pants heavily as sweat drops to the ground.

"Miles... are you okay?" asks Sally as she walks closer to him as she tries to help him up.

The Tails looking doll laid lifeless on the ground, then slowly gets up as it makes more creepy sounds. *SCHLORP!* It plops up in a sitting position. *SCHLICK...* It turns it's head to the female chipmunk and holds it's fingerless hand out at her.

"You shall be a worthy pawn." it said in a deep voice as it shot out a beam of energy at her.

"AAAAHHH!" shouts Sally as she gets zapped with a beam of energy as it levitates her off the ground.

Tails looks over at the chipmunk in distress. "SALLY!" he shouts as he reaches out for her.

Sally slowly transforms into a robotic version of herself as she screamed in pain and agony. Her whole body becomes metal and she stops screaming. Her eyes are now black screens and they activate, revealing red glowing eyes as she looks at Tails.

Tails looks at his crush now a lifeless robot and now a pawn of Eggman and his plush look-alike. "No..." tears stream down his cheeks as he looks in horror. He musters up all his strength to pick up his blade and charges at Eggman and the doll.

Eggman wags his finger at the distraught and angered kitsune. "Ah ah ah. That's enough." he looks at the soulless doll and the robotic chipmunk. "You two, put him out of his misery while I take over the world. OH HO HO HO HO!" he flies away towards the red sky.

Tails Doll charges up a energy beam as Mecha Sally holds out her right hand and charges an energy beam as well as she looks at him with a soulless look. Tails stops dead in his tracks and tries to step back.

"Wait! No! NOOOOO!" he screams as they both fire at him. Everything went to black.

"AAAAAH!" Tails falls out of his bed. Just in time, his alarm clock went off and he groggily cuts it off. "Oh... another nightmare..." he gets up to get ready for school.

-Mobotropolis High-

Tails met up with Sonic, Knuckles, and the others. Sonic and Knuckles was talking about things while Chaos stood there between them while Sally, Bunnie, Julie-Su, Tikal, and Nicole were talking about their plans for the mall.

"Hey Sonic!" the two-tailed kitsune walks up to Sonic and gives him a fist bump.

Sonic smiles at Tails. "Hey hey hey!" the blue hedgehog responds. "You still going to the mall after school?"

Tails nods. "Yep!" he then rubs the back of his head as he looks at the girls. "I heard that you broke up with Sally and you won't be able to make it this afternoon..."

Sonic closes his eyes and shrugs. "Yep. It appears so." he looks around as he rubs under his nose. "This isn't anything new, lil bro. Personally I feel that me and relationships don't mix. But if she wants to give it another ol' round then I'm down for it." he looks at his little bro. "But I'm starting to believe that I'm more aroace than anything. After yesterday I no longer feel the need to be in a relationship with anyone anymore."

Tails looks up at his big bro. "So... you're not sad or have any ill feelings towards Sally about the breakup?"

Sonic laughs. "Heh! Not at all bro." he looks over at Sally as she's giggling with her girl friends. "Truth be told. I feel like me and Sally aren't a good match and I wasn't treating her right too tough."

"Hm?" the yellow kitsune's interest gets piqued.

The blue hedgehog speaks some more. "I do be bored every time I hang out with her and when we go out on dates. I always felt... trapped, and I wanted nothing more than just to go on adventures and find new bad guys just to fill in the void of the good ol' doc." he looks down as he appears to be sadden by Eggman's "death". He looks at Tails. "I thought that having a girlfriend would be cool and a fun little thing on the side but thing is, it's too much work. Especially when you're a big shot hero like me. I am a guy who loves adventure and just can't seem to settle down with anybody. Sal deserves someone better for her..."

Tails is stunned by Sonic's maturity. He has never seen Sonic this way before.

Sonic gives Tails his "Nike Sign" smile. "Someone who's kind, smart, and compassionate." he points to Tails. "Someone like you lil bro!"

Tails' heart skips a beat as he looks at Sonic in shock. "Hold on..." he points to himself. "M-m-me?!" his face becomes red.

Sonic teases Tails as he wraps his arm around him. "C'mon bro. I saw how you've been looking at her and how you two talk to each other. It's obvious that you like her, and she probably likes you." Sonic thinks. "On second thought, she's probably too old for you."

"I-I don't like her!" Tails denies it.

Sonic smirks at the fox. "Ok." he shrugs. "I'll take your word for it."

Knuckles laughs at Sonic and Tails' interaction. "HAHAHAHAHA!" he slaps Chaos' shoulder. "Yo Chaos mon. Can you picture Tails and Sally dating? Imagine Tails clapping Sally's cheeks!" he continues to laugh.

A scene shows Chaos' face as he thinks while a thought cloud poofs over his head. He thinks: *Tails icon* + *Sally icon* =*A fusion of Sally and Tails/Fox and Chipmunk Hybrids*. Chaos looks at the scatter brained echidna and shrugs.

-RING RING RING!- the school bell rang and it was time to get ready for class. The students grabbed their stuff and got moving.

"Well Tails." says Sonic. "Looks like I gotta juice. See ya bud!" he runs through the crowd and is the first one to get into the school.

Tails looks at his big brother as he ran in school. "I never seen someone so eager to go to class. Sonic is normally the type to hate school."

A portal opens up and Bean hops out holding a RPG Launcher. "I dunno! But I just knew that Sonic was into cucking!" shouts Bean as he focuses his attention at whatever was inside the portal.

"L.S.P.D.! STOP THE VEHICLE AND DROP THE WEAPON!" shouts a cop from inside the portal as they were driving after someone. It looked like the portal was on the back of a old red pick-up truck.

"BEAN!" the voice of a middle aged Canadian man could be heard. "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR FEATHERY ASS DOING?! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!" the truck swerves lanes trying to lose the cops and dodge their bullets.

A missile poofs in Bean's hand as he's about to reload the launcher. "DON'T WORRY TREVOR! THIS SHOULD HOLD THEM OFF WHILE YOU ESCAPE!" he reloads the launcher. "Marco." he says as he aims the RPG launcher. "Marco." he says again as he focuses on a few police cars. A couple of S.W.A.T. trucks appear behind the squad cars. "POLO!" screams Bean as he fires a missile inside the portal, blowing up the vehicles and the police in it.

*KA-BOOM!*

Bean was disappointed at the explosion he made. "That was pathetic! You probably didn't even do that diet plan I gave you!" he shouts at the explosion. Bean throws the launcher inside the portal and the portal closes. "Good luck Trevor! I'll see ya later!"

Tails, Knuckles, and Chaos looks confused at what they just witnessed.

Bean spots them. "Oh hey! Nothing to see here. I just had to help a friend of mines out from another universe. It was a heist to steal some money." he sticks his head in Chaos's head. "So what did I miss?" he could be heard gurgling.

"You didn't miss anything." said Tails as he looked at the green woodpecker in fear. "But... what was that?"

Bean sticks his head out of Chaos and looks at Tails. "What was what?"

"That thing where you hopped out of a portal and blew up some police officers." he adds.

"I blew people up for fun with my good ol' pal, Trevor Phillips!" he pushes his face against Tails. Bean sighs dreamily. "*Sighs* It feels like that me and him are kindred spirits. We both love causing destruction."

Knuckles, as he looks at Bean, leans over to Tails and whispers in his ear. "Aye yo mon. I know a couple of Black Disciples in the Raq that can kill this jawn as fast as possible. For a lil nothin'."

"There are other ways to skin a cat. I think he needs to be in a mental asylum, forever." Tails responds.

They walk away from Bean and walk over to Sally and the others as they head into the school.

Knuckles wraps his arms around Julie-Su. "Aye shawty. You ready to hang out at the mall while I advertise my mixtape, huh?"

Julie-Su rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "Ain't nobody finna take you and yo music seriously. They gonna laugh at'chu."

"Aww shucks. They gonna love it. Just watch." Knuckles reassures.

Tails walks beside Sally and he catches her attention. "Hey..." he waves at her as he blushes. "Feeling better?"

Sally smiles at him and nods. "Mmhmm. You're ready for after school?"

"Yeah. I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun!" says the hyped kitsune.

Bunnie walks next to Tails and stops him dead in his tracks as she squat down to pinch his cheeks. "It sho'll is cutiepie. We're gonna hang on out and do all kinds uh fun thangs."

Sally looks at Bunnie and a blushing Tails as she laughs at Tails' reaction.

-After School-

Tails and Bean walks out the school doors along with the other students.

"Is it just me or did this school day seemed to go by extremely fast? Like, soon as we were about to enter school, the scene shows us walking out of it."

Tails shakes his head at Bean's nonsense. "Some days just go by fast, Bean."

Nearby, Tikal was with Julie-Su and Nicole.

Tikal looks down as she has her hands behind her back. "Hey Julie-Su?"

"What's up?" Julie-Su responds as she looks over her shoulder.

Tikal rubs her arm while still looking down. "I'm sorry for what Chaos did to your room. He didn't mean it. And I'm sorry if we intruded your place."

"Oh that? Pfft." she waved away at Tikal. "It's all good. I don't blame y'all two. It's ol' Knucklehead's fault."

"Very well then." she smiles at the female pink echidna. "I heard that you guys are going to a place called the mall to hang out at. Do... you think that me and Chaos can hang out with you guys as well?"

"Sure thing." Julie-Su gives her a thumbs up.

Nicole joins in. "Great! The more the merrier!"

"Woot woot!" exclaims Tikal in excitement as she does a gesture as if she's raising the roof.

Julie-Su looks at Tikal unamused as she placed her right hand on her hip. "Let me guess. Knuckles taught you that?"

Tikal laughs as she blushes while she rubs her arm. "Tee-hee... yeah."

Tails and everyone all go home and agree to meet up at the mall around 5:00 at the food court.

-At The Edge Of Mobotropolis...-

Music: [Sonic X: Eggman's Theme]

At the coastlines of Mobotropolis were a set of small to medium size islands all spread apart, far away from each other. On the biggest island there was was a tall and large white and futuristic looking tower. This futuristic tower had an antenna in the shape of Eggman's mustache on the top, an outer shell surrounding it, turrets on the front, and the Eggman Empire logo on the side of the tower. The E-40 Egg Fortress was docked near the island as it floated in the ocean. This, so far, is Eggman's biggest base to date. Egg Pawns were seen wearing construction hats as they carried parts around while some read blueprints and instructed others where to build. Inside the base was Eggman, Eggette, and Metal Sonic as they were walking through the basement section two Egg Pawns in front of them carried a large rectangular crate.

"Right here." the doctor instructed the two robots where to place the crate. The two Egg Pawns placed the crate down. Eggman now has his hands behind his back as he instructs the two Egg Pawns to do one more thing. "Now, open it."

One Egg Pawn saluted and a makeshift crowbar formed at it's hand and stuck the crowbar at the crate's lid and popped it open.

"Whoaaaaa..." said Eggette as her glasses sparkled.

"Excellent..." Eggman rubs his hands together as he grinned.

The robot's name is Emerl. Emerl is a robot that Eggman's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik has discovered at some ancient ruins. This robot is believed to have been created by an ancient civilization known as The Fourth Great Civilization. Emerl is a humanoid robot with a color scheme that is mostly mustard-yellow. He has a spherical head with an curved orange horn that has a concealed blue eye on his forehead, light blue eyes, orange caps for ears, along with a beige mouth. His upper arms, abdomen, and thighs are olive-brown, and he has spherical orange joints as shoulders and pelvis-legs joints. He possesses five fingered olive-brown hands and feet in the shape of shoes with orange soles. He has an thick armor around his forearms and lower legs with each one possessing orange cuffs, thick kneecaps, along with a jetpack on his back. And on his chest, he has three beige circles.

"This is Emerl." Eggman explains to Eggette as a Egg Pawn wheels a dolly towards the robot. "My grandfather discovered him during one of his many trips. He is an ancient robot with quite remarkable power as my grandfather even had trouble with him. There was even a time that Emerl almost destroyed the Ark and all the people in it!"

Eggette squeezes her face together as her glasses sparkles some more. "COOL!" she looks at Metal Sonic. "Hey Metal! You got some competition!" Metal just stood there, with no emotion or reaction to anything.

"With his power I will be able to stop that stupid hedgehog and his dumb furry friends and take over the world and turn it into my global empire!" he looks up with his arms raised as he does an evil laugh. "OH HO HO HO HOOOO!"

The Egg Pawn is about to wheel Emerl out with the dolly, but then... Emerl has a red aura around him and he disappears!

"?!" exclaims the Egg Pawn as it made a sound similar to the one from Sonic Heroes.

Eggette tugs on Eggman's coat. "Um... dad? Emerl's gone."

"OH HO HO HO- what?!" Eggman looks at Eggette then looks at the crate to see that the robot is gone. "EGAD!" he runs over to the crate as he pushes the Egg Pawn out the way. "WHERE IS HE?!" he looks around but see nothing in sight. The scene now changes and shows the outside of his base as he screams. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" the seagulls who hang around the area flies away.

[Music Stops]

-At Tails' Room-

It is around 4:30 PM and Tails is in the bathroom looking in the mirror as he looks at his forehead. His wound has now gotten worse and is now back to being red. "Oh no... not now...!" says Tails as he tries to put ointment on it, but it burnt his finger and the ointment melted onto his wound. "Ouch!" Tails fans his hand and blows on his finger. "I can't let this wound ruin my chance at hanging out with Sally!" he puts the gauze pad wound back on and stuck two fat band-aids on it to keep it from falling off.

A couple of minutes has passed and Tails is seen walking out the house. He is now wearing a open light red jacket with a Supreme t-shirt underneath, blue Bape Baby Milo jeans, and red, blue, and white "Bape Sta A Bathing Ape M2 20th Anniversary" sneakers.

"Bye mom!" Tails waves at his mother.

"Bye Miles, have fun! You and your friends be careful out there!" her voice could be heard from inside the house.

"We will!" he closes the door and flies off high in the sky and sees the beautiful building of the large city. Far off he sees a tall white building over at the islands but he thinks nothing of it and flies off towards downtown.

-Red Star Ring Mall of Mobotropolis-

Tails landed in front of the entrance of the mall. He looked around at the pedestrians as they walked by, the cars that was in traffic, and the tall buildings while the electric billboards advertised things like: Got Ring?, HEXAeco, Chaos Cola, Chao In Space 3, and the new Enerjak sports drink. Tails barely visited downtown at all since he's always in his parents garage fixing on the Tornado and inventing things, so this was a amazing site to him.

Tails walks into the mall and is amazed at how it looked inside. It was wide open with three different floors with escalators connected to each floor, along with an arch window on top. There were many stores like GameStop, Mystic Ruins Herbal Shop, a chili dog stand called Empire City's Chili Dogs, and too many to name. Tails walked around, passing by crowds of people as he was trying to find the food court.

Two minutes later, Tails found the food court. It was a large court that was surrounded by four large palm trees, with a lot of tables that had umbrellas above to give it a summer vibe to it.

'Now where are they?' Tails asks himself as he looks around. He looks to see Knuckles sitting at a table with his feet kicked up on said table along with, Julie-Su, Nicole, a black hedgehog guy sitting next to Nicole, Bunnie, Sally, and Tikal and Chaos (they left with Knuckles and Julie-Su after school to learn more stuff from Knuckles, despite Julie-Su's protest). As Tails walks closer towards them, Sally notices him and gets up and runs towards him.

As she runs to him, Tails notices that she's wearing a different outfit. She is now wearing an open, long-sleeved, light blue jean vest with a green crop top underneath that shows off her flat toned stomach. She wears light blue jeans that matches her jean vest along with light blue Vans.

Tails blushes at her body and tries to speak but he was astonished that she had a body like this since this was his first time seeing her midriff.

"Oh Miles, you made it!" she hugs him tight.

As they hug, Tails can smell the perfume that she's wearing. It smelt like Lavender and it was pleasant for our two-tailed floofball. They break the hug as the chipmunk has her hands on the kitsune's shoulders while he has his on her hips, since he's a bit shorter than her.

"I told you I'll be here." he reassured her.

Bunnie got up and walked towards the two. Tails sees her and also stares in awe at her. Bunnie was wearing a outfit similar to her main one. Only difference was that she was wearing a brown cowboy hat with brown rope tied around the top, a long-sleeved yellow plaid shirt that was tied up to expose her midriff and navel piercing, long blue jeans that was ripped at the knees, a belt with a gold emblem of the state of Texas, and some light brown cowgirl boots.

"Howdy cutiepie!" Bunnie greets. "Fancy seein' you 'round'ere." she proceed to pinch Tails' cheeks.

"Hey." he says while his cheeks are getting pinched to infinity by Bunnie. "I like your outfit."

"Aww. Thanks sugah. Ah got it from Torrid." Bunnie looks over to Sally. "Where ya get yer outfit Sal?"

"Oh this?" Sally looks down at her outfit. "The top is my mother's that she wore when she was younger and the rest of the outfit I got from Macy's."

Tails compliments both girls. "Well I say that you both have excellent tastes."

The two girls look at each other and then look at the kitsune as they blush. "Why thank you/ya." both the rabbit and the chipmunk said in unison.

Nicole and the black hedgehog guy walks up to greet him. Nicole kept the same purple hat on, but she was now wearing a purple camisole, white pants, and some plain white sneakers.

"Hey." she says as she waves at Tails.

Tails, who's cheeks are still being pinched waves back to Nicole. "Hey Nicole." he notices a black hedgehog behind her.

Nicole introduces the black hedgehog. "This is my boyfriend, Shard."

"Sup?" he salutes to the kitsune.

Shard is a black anthropomorphic hedgehog with spikey quills that sticks out straight at the back of his head. He has two yellow bangs that hangs over his eyes, green eyes, and a peach muzzle with a black nose. He wears a green crystal necklace, an open black jacket with yellow stripes on the side of the sleeves with a light green t-shirt underneath. He wears black pants that also has yellow stripes on the side of the pant leg, black and yellow hi-top sneakers.

Knuckles, Julie-Su, Tikal, and Chaos wore the same outfit since Knuckles had to show Tikal and Chaos around the city and teach them some more about modern day stuff.

Knuckles stands up and slams his hands on the table. "A'IGHT MY N-WORDS! Y'ALL READY TO HAVE SOME FUN?!"

Julie-Su facepalms while Tikal and Chaos laughs at Knuckles' silliness.

Tails and the others were confused and they said "Yeah...?" in unison.

Knuckles pulls out the Master Emerald from his back pocket. "YOU READY FO' SOME LASER TAG, M-DAWG?!"

"*Glows* I guess." the M.E. responds.

Knuckles gets up and marches past Tails and the others. "Follow me y'all. We finna have some fun!" everyone else followed behind the red echidna.


Knuckles led them to a arcade.

"Really fool? An arcade?" asks the pink female echidna as she folded her arms. "What we gonna do? Play Street Fighter?" she complained.

"Don't worry shawty. We ain't gonna play no games. We gonna go back over there!" he points to the back of the arcade and it shows a open door that has a stairway that leads downstairs with a sign above that says "Laser Tag". Knuckles motions everyone. "Come on y'all. We finna get lit!"


Everyone managed to get in and is assigned a vest and laser gun. Knuckles held his gun as he marched back and forth in front of everyone like he was a military soldier.

"A'ight folk. We gonna be in teams. Me, Julie-Su, and M-Dawg..." the scene focuses on the Master Emerald on the floor as the vest wasn't on it, but is surrounding it along with the gun on the floor next to the M.E.. The scene refocuses on Knuckles. "are gonna be on the same team. Imma call our team the Grove Street Families!" he points at Tails. "You, Sally, and Bunnie are gonna be on the same team. Y'all gonna be called the Ballas!" He points at Tikal. "You, Kay-O, and Nicole are gonna be working together. Y'all team are gonna be called the Los Santos Vagos!"

Chaos gives Knuckles a thumbs up as he holds the laser gun with his right hand.

"And you." he points at Shard. "I dunno where the hell you came from. So you gonna have to be by yo'self, mon."

Shard shrugs. "Understandable. But what's the name of my team?"

Knuckles looks at Shard with no expression. "You by yo'self. You ain't even got no team, mon." he looks at everyone. "Now. Any questions?"

Tikal raises her hand. Knuckles points to her.

"Umm. Why do I have to get the small gun?" she asks as she held a laser pistol while everyone else had big laser guns.

Knuckles chuckles and pats her on the back, hard, but since she's an echidna, she can handle a few rough hits. "That's cuz you still a baby. You ain't ready to handle the big dawgs, shawty."

"But I'm only fourteen..." she says as she gives Knuckles a sad face.

"You ain't ready yet." he waves her away as he turns around to walk back at his spot. He looks up at the monitor that is hanging above the zone and it has a countdown. "A'ight ten mo' seconds y'all." he cocks his gun. "I'm finna do y'all like what that G.U.N. soldier did to Maria." he then thinks. "Oh shoot, that's insensitive. Well then. I'm finna go full Chiraq on y'all!"

Bunnie nudges her elbow on Tails. "Ya ready for da O.K. Corral, sugah?"

Tails nods. "This ought to be fun!"

Tikal looks up at Chaos. "Remember that this is only a game and is meant for fun, so please refrain from getting angry and flooding everything."

Chaos gives the young orange female echidna a thumbs up.

Music: [Jak 2 - Metal Kor Theme]

The alarm beeps and the game starts. Everyone scatters while the M.E. just stays in the same spot.

Tails, Sally, and Bunnie run and hides behind a large pillar. Tails looks around and sees Shard wide open as he is looking around and shoots a couple of spots on the front of his vest which made a *PEW!* sound. Sally sees and fires two shots at his vest as well, leaving only one more spot left at the front. Sally quickly ducks back for cover to avoid any retaliation or the risk of her being seen.

"Sally that was amazing!" Tails gave her a wink and a thumbs up. This makes her smile and her cheeks get red as she looks at the kitsune.

At the other side of the room, Knuckles and Julie-Su were camping in one spot, looking for anyone to slip up and get caught within their firing zone.

"You see anyone shawty?" asks Knuckles as he looks around while aiming.

Julie-Su looks around and sees Shard through a small gap and a big target on his back. She fires and successfully hit it as it made another *PEW!* sound.

"Gah!" Shard runs away and hide behind a pillar. As he hides, he pants as he sweats. "Gotta be more careful." he looks over to his right only to see Nicole, Tikal, and Chaos standing next to him as they aim their guns at him.

"Yeah. You really should be more careful. Tee-hee." taunts Nicole.

"Oh man..." Shard sighs.

They then open fire on him. Shard is seen walking out of the zone with his head down.

"HELL YEAH! ONE DOWN!" shouts Knuckles as he jumps up in the air. Julie-Su quickly pulls him down.

"Shh! What the hell is wrong with you? We gotta stay quiet."

"My bad." he continues to look around as he aims.

Tails, Sally, and Bunnie are advancing forward to find anyone else. Bunnie sees Julie-Su behind cover as she looks around while aiming her gun. Bunnie fires and manages to hit one spot as a *PEW!* sound could be heard.

"Shit!" Julie-Su quickly drops down and sees that one spot on her vest has been shot. "Somebody got me!" she looks over to Knuckles only to see him on his phone watching a A$AP Ferg music video. The video in question was Shabba featuring A$AP Rocky. She knocks the phone out his hand.

"Aye girl! Why you did that for?!" he asks.

"You're supposed to be scoping out "ops" not on yo got dang phone!"

"Oh you right!" he laughs. "Shoot my bad."

While Julie-Su and Knuckles talk, Tails, Sally, and Bunnie agreed to push for Knuckles and Julie-Su. They get closer to the two echidnas.

"A'ight J." says Knuckles. "Imma go and scope out them "ops"." as he turns around he sees Tails, Sally, and Bunnie standing over him.

"Howdy, partna." says Bunnie as she smirks at the two while she aims her gun at Knuckles.

"Wassup?" Knuckles responds. "Aye yo it's only Bunnie and them, we straight." Julie-Su facepalms as the three shoots up the echidnas vest, taking them out the game.

Julie-Su storms out the zone. "This is the last time I'm teaming up with you on any game!"

Knuckles follows behind her. "I said I was sorry!" he shakes his head. "I thought they had a gulag here."

All that was left was Tails, Sally, Bunnie, Tikal, Nicole, Chaos, and the M.E..

Tails and his team happened to stumble upon Tikal and her team. They all stop and look at each other, then a few seconds later they exchange fire. All the spots on Tails' vest from the front were hit except for the lone spot on the back of his vest. This was all thanks to Tikal as she panicked and started to shoot everywhere with her eyes closed as she flailed her arms.

All the spots on Nicole's vest was hit completely, making her out of the game. Tikal, like Tails had one spot left, but her last spot was on her lower left. Chaos had two more spots left, one on his right and his back. Sally, miraculously had only one spot hit as she managed to dodge all the lasers, with her back spot only being hit. Bunnie has gotten all of her front spots hit, except one which was on her left side and she still had the spot on her back left as well.

Time went slow as sweat rolled down everyone's face (except Chaos since he's made out of water) at the anxiety inducing moment. Tikal gulps and starts to flail as she fires again. Sally and Bunnie dodges and maneuver around as they focus on Tikal, while Tails kept his focus on Chaos.

Sally dodges and fires at Tikal, but missed. Bunnie fills in behind her and manages to shoot her last spot, making her out of the game along with a *PEW!* sound.

"That's what ah'm talkin' about!" Bunnie high fives Sally.

Tikal shrugs while smiling. "Looks like you got me." she walks out the zone. "You can do it Chaos!" she encourages before she walks completely out of the zone. She then walks through the door.

Tails thinks as he stares at Chaos. 'Ok... he's made out of water and he sometimes can turn into a puddle. And the clothes that he wears that is contacting against his watery body probably liquidates along with him. But that vest that he's wearing isn't making any contact with his liquidated body. So maybe if I...' a light bulb appears over his head. "I got it!" Tails aims at Chaos' head and fires, which causes the watery creature to dodge and turn into a puddle. Chaos reforms and looks at Tails and is about to fire, but looks down and notices that his vest is on the floor next to him.

"!" Chaos panics and scrambles to try to put his vest back on, but it's too late as Tails had already fired at his last two spots, making him out of the game as a *PEW!* sound could be heard. Chaos snaps his fingers and shrugs as he walks out of the zone.

"Now there's one more to deal with..." Tails says. They walk up to the M.E. as it's vest is on the floor surrounding it, and they all fire at the spots on the vest therefore knocking the M.E. out the game.

"*Glows* Oh no. You got me. What ever shall I do?" the M.E. glows sarcastically.

-BLERT BLERT BLERT!-

[Music Stops]

The alarm blares and the game is over. Tails and his team wins. Sally and Bunnie hugs on Tails, and they both kiss him on his cheeks, making his face red and his wound hotter. Tails carries the M.E. with him and walks out the zone as the girls follow behind him. They walk back to the arcade and see Knuckles and the rest chilling on a big orange sofa at the lounge area. Knuckles gets up and walks towards the three. Tails gives him back the M.E..

"Aye dawg. That was TIGHT!" Knuckles high fives the shorter kitsune.

Tails wags his tails in excitement. "That was fun! We should do that again!"

Knuckles looks at the clock on his phone. "Maybe next time. C'mon. We finna race some go-karts!" Knuckles motions them as they all follow him. "I played too much Mario Kart to not win!"

Sally looks at Tails as she walks up next to him. "That was so fun, Miles!" she says as she smiles at him showing him her pearly white teeth.

"Yeah!" Tails nods at her. "I didn't know that you were a great shooter."

The female chipmunk smiles at the compliment as she swishes her bangs with her hand. "This is the most fun I've had in a long time."

Bunnie joins in on their little conversation. "We make ah great team!" she pinches Tails' cheeks. "An' you looked so cute shootin' ya gun at our enemies."

The blushing kitsune's face stretches as his cheeks gets pinched by the southern belle. "Ha ha... Thanks Buns."

They and the others follow Knuckles to race go-karts and do other fun activities that teenagers does. As Knuckles and the rest walks around the mall, they walk past a Hot Topic. Shadow walks out of the shop, not seeing the group.

He is carrying a lot of bags while Omega walks out carrying a stack of boxes ranging from outfits and shoes as it almost reaches to the top of the Hot Topic sign.

Rouge walks out with her eyes closed with a big smile on her face. "Thanks boys.~" she says as she winks at both Shadow and Omega.

Omega, struggling to balance the boxes rotates his head to her. "Miss Rouge. Why the need for so many garments?"

Rouge places a hand on her upper chest as she closes her eyes with a smile. "I am a fashionista. If we want to make it in the big city, then we're going to need to dress nicely."

Shadow looks at the white bat. "Make it in the big city? Don't you have a business at Central City, another big city? So technically you already made it in a big city."

Rouge shoves her face against the black hedgehog's as both their noses are pushed together as she gives him a stern look. "Don't question my objectives! You two are my bodyguards and work for me. You're supposed to protect me, not question me." she crosses her arms as she looks away with closed eyes. "You two better be glad that I was nice enough to get clothes for the two of you."

As Rouge was chastising Shadow, Mina and her group of friends were walking towards the entrance of Hot Topic. They decided to stop by and buy some things since they were on their way to a record label for Mina to record some more music. Mina had to wear a black hoodie with the red word 'Revenge' across it, a rare hoodie that the late XXXTentacion wore which made the brand and that hoodie insanely popular. She had to wear it to hide her identity from fans and paparazzi due to her insane popularity.

As she walks by she sees the busty bat along with the Ultimate Lifeform and the walking arsenal that is Omega. "... E-excuse me..." Mina gets the bat's attention.

Rouge looks at the hoodied girl and her friends. "Oh, hey hun.~" she responds as she winks at Mina.

"Aaaah..." Mina blushes at the sight of the big breasted bat as her gaze went from Rouge's face then down to her ample breasts. She then shakes her head to focus. "Aaah... are you R-Rouge the bat? The best treasure hunter in the world?!"

"The one and only." she smiles.

Mina smiles and fans out. "*Squeals* OH MY GOD! IT IS YOU! I'm totally a big fan of your style!" Mina pulls out her phone. "Can me and my friends get a picture with you guys?" she asks.

"Sure thing." she says.

Mina and her group of friends huddle together around Team Dark as Mina prepares for a selfie. "Ok now. Say cheese."

"CHEEEEEESSSSEEE!" they all said as they smiled while Shadow didn't and just looked into the camera.

"DESTROY!" says Omega as he dabbed in the back.

Mina took the picture. She looks at the picture on her phone and looks up at the white bat. "Thank you so much!" she says as she smiles. "I'll see if I can upload it on my socials if that's ok with you."

"Me and my bodyguards don't mind." Rouge responds.

Mina stares at Rouge in amazement. "Hey Rouge, do you think that I'll grow up to be as beautiful as you?"

Rouge closes her eyes and looks up as she places both hands on her hips. "I think you will. You're young, so I'm sure that you will blossom to be just as glamorous as me." she looks at Mina and fluttered her eyelids a few times.

Mina blushes at this and smiles. "Th-thank you miss Rouge! I'll be sure to grow up to be as beautiful as you!" she looks at her ample breasts one more time. 'And hopefully the Boob Gods will bless me like they've blessed you as well...'

Rouge walks away as she waves at Mina and her friends. "Well. Me and my bodyguards gotta go. I'll see you around." she winks at Mina.

Blood runs down Mina's nose as she faints and falls, but luckily her friends catches her.

"O-M-G! Mina- like totally fainted!" says a tiger girl with long black hair as she fanned her.

"I didn't know that she was a big fan of Rouge!" says the tall afghan hound girl. "She might be gay for her."

"Yeah she's probably, totally- like, a lesbo or something." says a sheep girl with swirly glasses and large white poofy hair.

A grey short mouse girl with hot pink hair who was a part of Mina's group of friends stood behind them. "I'll be right back, I'll get something cold!" she says as she zips off while Mina's friends continues to fan the fainted mongoose girl.

-Hours Later-

Knuckles and the rest were at a fancy italian restaurant. How could they afford it? Well Knuckles was generous enough to use the money that he won from the rap battle the other day towards the restaurant. Tails was sitting at a lone table with Sally. It was a small round table that was covered with a white sheet that draped a bit over the floor. They sat in chairs with soft red cushions that was made out of the finest wood in the country. Sally was eating spaghetti with a salad and a drink of pink lemonade, while Tails was eating two slice of pizza with a fancy looking ham sandwich with a toothpick on top along with a drink of peach juice. Don't worry about where the others are sitting or what they're eating and doing, we're just gonna focus on Tails and Sally.

"So this was the restaurant that you were talking about on the phone. You have great taste in restaurants." says the two-tailed kitsune.

Sally takes a sip of her drink and places it back down. "Thanks." she looks around the restaurant as she looks at the gold chandeliers hanging above them along with the red velvet carpet. "My parents always ate at this restaurant. This is their favorite spot and now I see why."

Tails finished his pizza and was now eating his sandwich. "So... did you have any odd dreams?"

Sally looks down at her plate as she stirs her fork in her spaghetti. "Mmhmm." she nods. She looks up to think about it. "I wouldn't call it a dream, more like a nightmare. I can't remember much, but all I remember is that I turned into a robot and... it was like that I couldn't control my body."

Tails looks at the red haired chipmunk in shock and he drops his sandwich on his plate. "No way... Sally? I think we are having the same dreams."

She looks at him. "You really think so?"

"I believe it. Because the way you describe the part where you turned into a robot, that same thing happened in my nightmare."

"What if we're connected?" Sally theorizes.

"We could be..." Tails thinks long and hard about it.


An hour passed again and Tails, Sally, and the others walked out of the mall. It was now nighttime and around 7:30. Sally carried a bag with the outfit that she wanted in her hand that Tails willingly paid for (LMAO! SIMP!). Knuckles carried a PS5 box and he dared for anyone to try and take it from him. Bunnie, Julie-Su, Tikal, and Nicole carried a few bags as well of the stuff that they wanted.

Tails looks up at Sally as he walked beside her. "Who knew that the mall would be this fun?"

"I go here all the time with my friends. But this is the first time I ever had fun like this. Thanks for hanging out with me and buying me this outfit, Miles." she raises a Forever 21 bag that had her outfit inside.

Tails stops as he rubs his head. "Aww. It was nothing..." he gets interrupted as the chipmunk hugs him.

"No. It means a lot to me. And I have you to thank." she gives him another kiss in the lips.

Tails' whole face becomes hot red and his wound gets hotter. A quick flash of all the dreams and nightmares he had for months zips by in a flash, showing montages of the countless romantic dreams that he had with Sally. The countless times in the dreams where they almost kissed, along with the dream of the pool party, and the unpleasant experiences he endured during the nightmares. He steps back as his nose bleeds out onto the sidewalk.

Sally drops her bag and covers her mouth as she looks at the kitsune bleeding out. "Miles! Oh my God! Are you alright?!"

Tails covers his nose with one hand. "Yeah, I'm fine." he reassures her by giving her a thumbs up.

Then... the digital billboards that were plastered on the buildings broadcasts a video of none other than Dr. Eggman as a band of Egg Pawns behind him plays "I Am The Eggman" with their instruments.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! Citizens of Mobotropolis. It is I, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but you all may know me as Eggman."

All the surrounding citizens stood and looked at the broadcasts in shock. It broadcast on TVs in stores, people who were on their phones saw it, people who were watching TV and playing video games on their TV or PC saw it, and those who were listening to the radio in their vehicles listened as well.

Knuckles drops his PS5 box. "AWW HELL NAW! WHY THE HELL EGGMON'S BACK FOR?!"

Tails is baffled as he looks up at the broadcast in disbelief. "No way! We defeated him once and for all last year!"

"Now I know that you all are wondering how I survived, but that doesn't matter now that I am here!"

Sonic is on top of a tall building as he watches the broadcast on his phone. "Heh heh." he rubs under his nose. "I knew that explosion couldn't had taken you out, doc."

At Breezie's mansion, Breezie is sitting on her couch with a red robe on as she held a mug as her right eye twitches. All of Eggman's old lackeys surrounded her as they threw confetti everywhere and popped champagne bottles in celebration.

"YAY! EGGMAN'S BACK!" shouts Bokkun in joy.

Eggman continued his broadcast. "As you can see, I have set up a base over at the islands of Mobotropolis. That way I can be closer to my arch nemesis Sonic the hedgehog so that it can be easier for me to destroy him and his blasted friends! This may come off as a shock to everyone but my next venture is to become principal of Mobotropolis High."

"WHAT?!" says Sonic, Tails, and the others in unison.

"The reason why, is that blasted hedgehog goes to that school and I want to make him suffer with endless amounts of school work! I will become principal first thing on Monday, so you all can say goodbye to your beloved principal Breezie because the Eggman is in town!" an explosion and fireworks appear behind him. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a robot of mines to find. Sayonora!" the broadcast turns off and everything returns to normal.

"He's going to take over our school..." says Sally. She then turns to Tails and grabs his shoulders. "Tails, we have to do something!" then Sally has a headache. "AAAH!" she stumbles as she holds her head as she bends forward.

Music: [Sleepy Head by The Pillows]

"Sally! What's wrong?!" Tails runs over to her.

She almost loses her balance. "Feels like my head's gonna..." she tries to shake the pain off.

"Huh?" Tails stops and looks up at his forehead. Then he proceeds to have the worst headache in his life. "GAAAAH!" he shouts as he looks up and holds his head. His bandage flies off and the dark red wound on his forehead gets bigger and swirls like a vortex. "W-WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" the kitsune panics.

Knuckles looks at his friend. "Oh shoot! Tails! You good, mon?!"

Julie-Su looks at the red echidna. "He's clearly in pain! Of course he ain't alright!"

Shard shields Nicole on the ground as he looks at the yellow kitsune. Chaos stands in front of Tikal and shields her with his arms spread out.

A metal antenna with a dark red crystal slowly emerges out of his wound.

"WHAAA-?!" Tails looks out of fear while still suffering in pain.

"!" Chaos looks and runs up to Tails.

Tikal holds her hand out. "CHAOS! Where are you going?!"

As the water monster runs, he looks back at Tikal and gives her a thumbs up. He grabs the antenna but it turns out that it is extremely hot as steam forms from it with his touch. Chaos feels no pain and continues to pull it out. Chaos closes his eyes as he struggles to pull it out. He pulls with all his might and it shoots out.

*POP!*

Flew the thing that came out of Tails' head. It then falls over to the ground as it makes a *SHLOP!* sound. Everyone runs to it and sees that it is Tails Doll. Tails Doll is a stuff animal that greatly resembles Tails. It has two bangs that resembles Tails', a large metal antenna with a red crystal on top, a gray zipper on the back of it's head that leads to it's lower back, with stitches all over it's body. It has shoes that resemble's Sonic's shoes.

Knuckles smiles as he gets hyped. "Oh shoot! I remember you! I raced against this thang when I was younger!" he says.

"Why does it looks like Tails?" asks Julie-Su.

"Maybe it was made by that Egg feller." says Bunnie.

"It looks kinda cute." says Tikal.

The music then changes.

Music: [Advice by The Pillows]

"AAAAH!" Tails' screams gets their attention as they and other bystanders looks at the kitsune. Two robotic hands that were olive-oil brown came out of the wound and grabbed onto the kitsune's head to try to pull itself out. Tails almost loses his balance as the weight of the robot's hand almost knocks him down. A few attempts later and the robot shoots out of his forehead. The robot flies high into the sky as the sky gleams. A few seconds later, he falls back down in front of Tails, making a small crater in the sidewalk as he lands in a "Superhero pose".

"What is that thing?!" Tikal asks as she backs away from the robot.

Emerl looks at her and dashes to attack her, but Chaos blocks the attack.

"..." Emerl stares at Chaos as they both are in a power struggle. Chaos manages to overpower the robot and slangs him against a nearby brick building. Emerl jumps out of the wreck and kicks Chaos with his foot, knocking him off his feet.

"..." Emerl looks at the others with red eyes. He looks at Knuckles who appears to be ready.

"Oh hell naw!" Knuckles stands in front of his PS5 box. "You ain't finna rob me!"

Emerl charges at the red echidna and they clash. They grab each other's hands as they look at each other.

Bunnie pushes Sally and the others away. "C'mon. Ah think it's time we get out da way."

"..." Emerl simply stares at him.

"What's yo problem, mon? Why don't you get your own PS5?" he flips the robot over and tries to stomp him but Emerl rolls over just in time.

The robot jumps up and uppercuts Knuckles, sending him flying high into a billboard as rings flies out of the red echidna. Chaos fills in for Knuckles and runs to the robot, and smacks him into the ground. The aquatic creature lets out a flurry of punches on the robot, causing him to sink deeper into the ground. The robot deactivates as he's getting pummeled due to low battery.

Eggman is flying around the city in his Egg Mobile. "Now where is he?" he looks around. "He's got to be somewhere..." he looks down and sees the fight. He flies down to see Emerl getting beat up by Chaos.

"EGAD! THAT'S MY ROBOT!" he shoots out a flashbang at Chaos and everyone, blinding them.

"!" Chaos stumbles back as he wipes his eyes from the blinding light of the flashbang.

A giant metal claw emerges out of the Egg Mobile and he picks up Emerl and the Tails Doll.

The effects of the flashbang eventually wore off and Chaos and everyone else looks up to see the mad scientist.

Tails, still hurt from what just happened looks up at Eggman. "Eggman! How are you still alive?!" asks the kitsune.

"That doesn't matter." Eggman responds. "But what does is me getting my robot back." he looks down at the Egg Mobile's claw and sees Emerl and the Tails Doll as well. "... And that Tails Doll... I don't know how that one got here. But anyway! We will meet again! So long thieves!" he shoots out another flashbang which blinds everyone once again. "Tell that stupid hedgehog that I said hey!" he flies away with Emerl and Tails Doll in his metal claw as he lets out a evil laugh.

The effects wore off once again and everyone sees that the robot, the doll, and Eggman is now gone.

[Music Stops]

Sally shakes it off and looks over to Tails. "Miles!" she runs to him and grabs his face as she caresses his whiskers. "Are you okay? What was that? As a matter of fact, HOW did those things came out of your head?"

Tails looks at his concerned crush and sees the worry in her face. "I don't know Sal." he says as he sees Knuckles falls out the billboard and conveniently falls on top of his Tahoe as the vehicle's alarm goes off.

Bunnie takes off her hat and fans herself with it. "Whewie sugah! Ah dunno what in tarnation that was. But golly! You needta get that checked out, A-S-A-P!" she wipes the sweat off her forehead.

Shard, who is holding Nicole's hand walks away with her. "Ok now. THAT was the oddest thing I've seen and experienced in my life. We're gonna call an Uber. Later guys!"

In the background, Tikal looks at Chaos with worry. "Oh Chaos. Are you alright? You're not hurt are you?"

Chaos shakes his head no and squints his eyes to show that he is smiling as he gives Tikal a sign language that reads "Fun".

Tikal looks at her water friend in shock. "Fun? You like violence?"

Chaos blushes and looks down at the ground with his hands behind his back as he kicks the ground gently.

Tikal laughs at Chaos and gives him a warm smile. "Well then. If there is ever a fighting tournament, then you can sign up and fight with all your heart."

Chaos likes the sound of that and he jumps in the air for joy.

Knuckles lies on his back on the top of his Tahoe. "Aye J." he calls for his girlfriend.

Julie-Su looks at her boyfriend as he's on top of the vehicle. "Damn. You got your ass kicked fam." she picks at him. "But yo, what's up?"

"Remind me not to take Tails to the mall again. He got weird jawns coming out his head."

Julie-Su laughs.

The M.E. glows as it's on the ground next to Julie-Su. "*Glows* Too bad he didn't get his common sense back. But it sure was funny that he got beat up!"

Sally looks at Tails as she still holds on to him. "Miles. Are you sure that you're okay?"

Tails sees double of Sally as he struggles to stay conscious. "... Yeah..." he says groggily. His vision gets blurry as he hears the sirens of the police cruisers and firetrucks.

Sally looks over to Knuckles. "Knuckles! We need to get him to a doctor!"

Knuckles is sitting on top of his suv as he shakes his head from the recent fight. "A'ight homegirl! I gotchu!"

Tails grabs Sally's arm which catches her attention.

"Miles?" she asks as she looks at him in the eye.

"No Sal... take me back to my house... I need to talk to my... uncle..." he struggles to keep his eyes open. "... He'll... know what... to... d...oooooo..." he blacks out.

To be continued...
