Author's Note: My apologies for not updating this story for about a month. I was busy with other things in my life that made it nearly impossible for me to write. Now, I have an opening to churn this chapter out. I haven't abandoned this fanfic nor do I ever plan to. I want to see this to the very end.
I see the potential in this fanfiction series and the opportunity to grow from it. A opportunity to probably help some jawns going through hard times who probably enjoys reading this the same way younger me who went through hard times enjoyed reading Archie Sonic (Flynn and a little bit of Boller's run lmao). Low-key hard to explain it, but I guess what I'm saying is that I want to replicate that feeling of helping someone who's going through difficult times. And once they read this fic, they will have a dope time being invested in this world and these versions of characters that they love. But this is a fanfiction, it ain't that deep LMAO!
In the words of Morag from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 regarding my hiatus: "This was the fault of negligence. It will NOT happen again".
R.I.P. to my streak of churning out chapters for at least every week or two LMAO! I bet we would've been towards the end of this season or prolly even in the beginning of season 2. It's cool though, all that matters is that I write this story to the very end and have fun with it. That's all, good reading my dawgs!

Season 1 Episode 15
The Race
-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.-
It's midnight in Mobotropolis. The dark blue night sky loomed over the city with clouds that had a lighter shade of blue along with stars that complemented the atmosphere of the night vibe. The buildings stood tall and proud with majority of the room lights being off, save for a few dozen. Some humans and mobians were out and about either outside of clubs waiting to get in, or some leaving the club drunk after they lived it up. And some were at the highest balcony of the buildings overlooking the city of Mobotropolis and her beauty. And the far away mountains that surrounded the city along with the cellphone towers and their slow, glowing and dimming light.
The cool and somewhat chilly weather at night felt wonderful, not too hot and not too cold. It was quiet aside from some cars and other vehicles being heard on the streets and the sounds of airplanes and other aircrafts soaring high in the skies. Despite being a city being nearly the same size as New York, Mobotropolis just happened to be quiet and not as busy during the night compared to the "Big Apple". The incomparable smell of the nighttime air filled the whole city and it's neighborhoods with a feeling of calmness and peace. Tranquility appeared to be in the air. The city's highways were empty with no cars in sight save for a few semi-trucks.
Mobotropolis Highway is a very versatile highway that mostly surrounds the city on ground and above the rivers and oceans. With long windy roads, it's tunnels, and it's many lanes consisted of seven lanes for both sides of traffic for going in and out of the city. Some parts of the highway have walls on the side of the roads instead of guardrails and tunnels with lights on the side that often changes colors every ten seconds. Some of the highway is on land but majority of it consists of elevated roads and a lot of bridges. Resembling some aspects of Speed Highway, Radical Highway, Route 101, and Route 280. As you drive by on the elevated roads it can take you really high up where you could see the top of the city's skyscrapers in the likes of Speed Highway and many of the urban themed stages from the Sonic games. Just don't have highway hypnosis and a fear of heights and you will be fine.
Music: [ PIZZA HOTLINE - DUALSHOCK]
At a certain area of the highway, near the city limits appeared a purple 2002 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R with hot pink underglows speeding down the highway. It had a carbon vented bonnet hood, a large carbon spoiler, and tinted windows. It also had decals with a combination of Hello Kitty, and TokiDoki with it's characters like Donutella, Adios & Cia Cia, and various Unicornos. At the top of the windshield it had the SEGA logo on it as the lights from the passing streetlights shone on it. On top of the dashboard was a Hatsune Miku bobblehead and right behind it was an anti police radar detector which was for detecting any nearby police cruisers. Hanging on the rear-view mirror hanged a Classic Sonic plush, with its light blue color and cute smile. The steering wheel was covered with pink fuzz with the areas of the pedals having a hotpink light shining over it. Across the dashboards were 4 dial gauges to keep track of the systems of the car, and in the backseat was the nitrous oxide bottle, but that is saved for emergencies or a street race.
The car was going at least 120 miles per hour down the highway as it weaved in and out as it passed cars and semi-trucks. It always turns the heads of drivers and passenger each time it drives by. Everywhere else it turns heads as well due to it's bold design and loud sound. It's exhaust pipes were so loud to the point that it could be heard miles away, so any drivers that hear this Skyline better make way for it or there will be dire consequences. The Nissan Skyline isn't considered the most sought out car for nothing, if you own one of these babies, please don't let this car go no matter what!
Over on the passenger seat was a magenta looking creature that resembled a eighth note. The creature had a single eye and three tentacles with sphere-like endings stemming from it's bottom. It curled as if it was a cat and appeared to be sleeping as sounds resembling a xylophone was coming out of it as it snored. A white-gloved hand rubbed itself on the magenta creature and caressed it as it made a purring sound.
"So cute." whispered a feminine voice as they petted the sleeping creature.
[Music Stops]
A certain red-haired chipmunk was walking at the center city of Mobotropolis. It's our main girl Sally and she didn't appeared all there. Her facial expression appeared blank with her eyes staying opened not even blinking at all. She mindlessly and aimlessly walked around the city. Why is she walking around the city at a time like this let alone her age, curfew, and her parents' status(es)? Is she under the influence of drugs or is she sleepwalking? Well, it's the latter, Sally is sleepwalking.
It is unknown how she managed to bypass the security cameras and guards around the Acorn Mansion. If she walks towards a oncoming vehicle or walk to a shady area of the city such as West Mobotropolis, then she could be in big trouble! Especially with what she is wearing. A spaghetti-strapped silky white nightgown that stops at her thighs along with yellow panties underneath. Said gown is bound to get you the wrong kind of attention from certain creeps and it doesn't help with her slim and petite body of hers. If fully awake Sally can actually hold her own from weirdos. But in the current state she's in now it would be hard for her to defend herself unless she wakes up in time.
An hour later of walking with no interference from the police or any citizens, Sally walked to a park near the outer parts of the center of Mobotropolis. She is now at the spot where the mid-to-low class citizens be. The park was pretty big with lots of trees and a big water fountain. Sally was at the spot with a view full of benches with black fences where you could see the river and the buildings from downtown. The trail had a long and large cobblestone sidewalk that surrounded the whole park along with street lamps that stood over each bench while some lights flickered. Shady activity often happens in this park around this time, but Sally wasn't aware, she was deep in her own mind.
Music: [Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - A Brewing Storm]
-In Sally's Consciousness-
Sally stood in a unknown space surrounded by darkness. She had a terrified look on her face almost as if she's seen a ghost. She looked up with wide eyes and dilated and shaking as her eyebrows were brought together with wrinkles even though you couldn't see them since her bangs obscured them. A orange light was shown reflecting on her as the sound of flames could be heard cracking along with a sound of a monster breathing heavily.
Sally was stunned and mustered up the courage to speak. "W-who... are you?" her voice trembled. "Wh-why do you keep showing up?" she stood at what appeared to be at the edge of the cliff and was face-to-face with a giant monster.
This giant monster was made out of lava with four arms with an armored head of molten rock that also covered a bit of it's upper back. It resembled a lava version of Perfect Chaos. It's green eyes focused on Sally. "Iblis..." it said in a deep voice. "... is my name..."
"..." Sally stared at the monster before speaking again. "... Iblis...?" she thinks as she tries to recall such a name. "I have never heard of you before. Where are you from?"
The monster looks at the chipmunk as it tries to remember. "Ssss... Soleanna..."
Sally eyes gets big at the reveal. "Soleanna?! Soleanna as in the kingdom that mysteriously collapsed?"
It is no secret that the kingdom of Soleanna is no more. The kingdom has fell apart and crumbled due to the mysterious death of the Duke of Soleanna and his daughter, Elise the third. Although there were rumors about their deaths. Some saying that it was a experiment gone wrong or how they were killed by a rival kingdom but none of these were proven true and to this day, remains unknown.
"Yes..." it subtly gave Sally a nod. "Our souls... are bonded... You and I... we are the same..."
"W-what are you talking about?" Sally was perplexed at what the beast was talking about.
It's eye is shown as the camera zooms in slowly. "III... am you... and you are... me... We are the same..."
"Same?!" Sally steps back. She looks down at her hands as they appear to shake. "This- this whole time... that explains why I always feel a firey sensation when I get too angry..." she looks up at Iblis. "No! We are not the same! Stop lying!"
Iblis chuckles with it's deep voice as it closes it's eyes. "We are... the same..." it opens it's eyes and stares at Sally once again. "Never get too fierce... and I will not awaken... to unleash my flames of disaster upon the world..."
All Sally could do was stare as a hot breeze flew by her as her bangs rustled from the breeze. "..." she opens her mouth but is too baffled to speak.
Iblis closes it's eyes as it's four arms crosses as it curls slightly forward and slowly submerges into the pool of lava. "Use our powers... when situations... becomes dire... Keep me under control... and my flames of disaster... will not become unleashed..."
Iblis fully submerged under the lava returning to it's slumber until Sally awakens it again.
Sally looks down at the body of lava where the beast is now under. "Our power..." she looks at her hands once again. "Am I really the same as that thing...?"
As she ponders at the revelation that could be either true or false, everything becomes black.
[Music Fades Away]
-Back To The Real World-
Sally gasps as she wakes up. Her pupils return to it's normal colors and she processes everything. After she processes what just happened, she realizes that she's not home. She looks around and finds her at a park with the buildings of downtown Mobotropolis is seen not too far away.
"Downtown? How did I get here? Wait! Don't tell me I sleepwalked?!" she pats her thighs to feel for her phone but unfortunately she didn't have her phone nor was she wearing any pants! "*Gasp*! I'm in my night garments. I need to hurry to find a way home before my parents find out." she runs on the cobblestone ground looking for an exit at the park.
As she ran to another section of the park, she heard loud music and a few guys talking and laughing. She stopped as her interest became piqued and peeped around a tree. She saw a certain beat-up red Tahoe along with some other cars ranging from tuners, ricers, and sport cars.
"A car meet?" she asks herself.
"Yo that's a clean ass car you got there, mon!" a familiar voice can be heard.
"Wait, that voice!" she knows that voice and Jamaican accent anywhere. She saw Knuckles giving a raccoon guy a dab and a handshake. "Knuckles!" she smiled. 'I can ask him for a ride back to my place' she thinks again. 'But that could probably be a double-edged sword. The way he drives can is a Darwin Award waiting to happen.' the chipmunk debates if she should ask him for a ride or not. 'But it's worth a shot.'
She walks towards the car scene. Walking there she turned heads and caught the attention of all the dudes as they ogled her making her feel uncomfortable. She felt anxiety the more she walked through, she tried her best to block out the unwanted attention and cat calling.
"Damn! She's fine as hell!" one guy shouted.
"Aye I think that's the mayor's daughter."
"Really? I might need to get with her so I can get that bag."
"Her and her mother can get it."
'Just ignore them.' Sally told herself as she got closer to Knuckles.
Knuckles bought a bag of weed from the raccoon dude. He opened the bag to get a whiff of the luxurious smell of weed. "*Sniff* WHEW! God damn this some good shit mon!" he was loving it and couldn't wait to go to a secluded place to smoke. "I'm trynna get some of my homeboys to smoke some of this but they ain't with it tho'." he was putting the bag in his pocket.
As Knuckles was talking about weed and his love for it, the raccoon guy's attention diverted to something else.
Knuckles was drooling as he was thinking about some spicy curry. "And I be trynna have some of my dawgs to eat some good ass curry and-"
"Ooh shit. She's one smoking vixen!" the raccoon guy says.
Knuckles quickly look. "Shit where?!" he sees Sally as she walks towards him. "Oh! That's my homegirl Sally!" he walks up to her to give her a dab. "What's up wit'chu?"
The raccoon dude looks at Knuckles and Sally. "You telling me you know this chick?"
"Hell yeah. She one of my roll dawgs." he looks back at her. "What you doing out here shawty?"
Sally turns her head away a bit as she looks up at some of the buildings. "Weeell... it's kinda embarrassing..."
"A'ight. Lemme guess. You had a argument with yo papi and you ran away. Is that it?"
Sally shakes her head. "No. Not even close." she rubs her hair. "I... was sleepwalking..." she looked away embarrassed.
Knuckles raised an eyebrow. "Hol' up. That's it?" he chuckles. "Shoot, I thought it was something else." he wraps his arm around her. "No need to be embarrassed shawty. Nothing wrong with that. As long as you don't get yourself killed, you straight."
"Ok." Sally felt relieved. "But I need a favor from you." she clasped her hands together.
"You want me to beat somebody's ass." he flexed his muscles. "I can do that for my homegirl."
"No. Not anything like that. I need a ride back home. If my parents or butlers finds out that I'm out at this time then I will be in big trouble. " she looks into his purple eyes. "Can you please take me back home? Pretty please?" she begged with a smile.
Knuckles looks at his Tahoe as he rubbed under his chin as he tapped his foot. "Hmmmm..." he stared at the beat up dingy suv. "I signed up for this street race. And I got my suv souped up for this race..." he looks at his red haired friend. "How 'bout this, shawty. I'll take you back home after this race." he holds his hand out for a handshake. "Deal?"
She look at his hand as she's thinking. "..." she looks up at him. "How long will it be?"
He thinks. "Iounno. Prolly like 30 minutes tops."
Sally thinks to herself. 'I pray that I'll make it back before anyone finds out.' she shakes his hand. "Deal."
"HELL YEAH!" shouted the rad red echidna as he jumped up in the air. "Since Julie-Su is sleep back home, I got you to fill in the void to yell at me for driving crazy. But please don't hit me tho', that shit hurt more than a mug."
The slim and petite chipmunk shifted her eyes left and right as she felt uncomfortable at her friend's odd behavior. "Ooookay... when does the race start."
Knuckles shrugged. "When that new racer everybody be hollering about shows up." Knuckles pulls out his phone and scrolls through the Flicky app. "The mon behind this race told us how he founded this new page on Flicky. I guess mon loved the car so much that he wanted the jawn who owns the car to show up for the race." he shows Sally the profile.
Sally sees the Nissan Skyline and the pictures. "That is a nice car." she says as she reads the username. It read "E4T_MY_DU5T".
Knuckles looks back on his phone and takes another good look at the car. "Heh. That car finna eat my dust after all the mods I gave it." he said with confidence.
-VROOM-
Everyone's attention was caught as the Nissan Skyline pulled up into the parking lot. Its growling engine and tail pipes had a pleasant sound that would make the biggest car enthusiast orgasm. It's shiny color and lights made almost everyone at the car scene eyes glow from hype and amazement. The car reversed in a parking spot in between two tuner cars as the purring from the engine could be heard right along with the ground vibrating from the powerful engine.
Sally looked at the car as others were gathering around it. "That must be the car that you was talking about Knux."
Knuckles scoffed and folded his arms as he looked at the vehicle in disgust. "Pfft. That piece of junk finna eat my dust. Ain't that right Sally-shawty?"
Sally looked at his Tahoe and then looked at him. "... Well..." she tried to find something positive to say since with a vehicle like Knuckles' there really isn't anything nice to say when it comes to a street race. "If you put your mind to it you can do anything." she gave him a smile.
"That's wassup!" said Knuckles as he pounded his fists together.
The door on the driver side of the Skyline opens. Everyone stared to see who it was with cameras from vloggers and photographers ready to get film and pictures ready. A white tennis shoe sneaker stepped out as the door closed and the camera slowly panned up as it white pants with two dark pink stripes was shown. As the camera panned up a matching colored zipped up jacket was shown with a patch emblem embroidered on the left side of the chest labeled as "Y2K", the person seemed to be carrying that magenta creature with it's left arm as it rested on their hip. The camera finally pans up to the person's face, but you couldn't tell who it was as they wore their hood up, which had two small monster horns, a medical mask on their face, and shades. You could see lilac hair sticking out from under and around the hood. Cameras started flashing and people started to record.
The flashing lights from the cameras startled the creature as it was trying to squirm out of the person's arm.
" KLRFG^94*$!" cried the creature as it used it's tentacles to shield it's eyes.
The wisp's owner grabbed it tight as it petted it until it calmed down. "Ssh... It's okay, Melody. No need to be afraid." they said softly. This made the creature calm down as it made a pleasant sound that sounded like a harp.
The hoodied anonymous figure walked up to the host of the race event. The host is a male tanuki with orange fur with dark brown stripes on his tail. He has round eyes with small pupils, a black patch of fur across his face, a white muzzle, a small black nose, and a long and rugged white mustache. His body is round and he has slightly short arms and sharp fingers, he also has a tail with brown stripes.
For attire he wore a crown with a large round velvet cap that has a golden lower head rim, a golden point on the top, and an emblem on the front that resembles a black wheel with a pair of white wings and a purple hub cap. He also wears orange coveralls with golden cuffs on the sleeves, a red scarf around his neck, and a brown belt around his waist with a golden buckle that resembles the front of a car. And finally, he wears a short leopard skin cape with a fuzzy white hemline, a tall collar, and golden fasteners in the front. His name is Dodon Pa, and he is a wealthy king of a planet called Donpa Kingdom who loves racing. He drives around in a red, black, and white hover craft that resembles Eggman's Egg Mobile.
Dodon Pa leaned forward on his hover craft to shake the person's hand. "MY, is it wonderful to have you here this lovely night. I am Dodon Pa." he places his hand on his chest as he introduces himself proudly. "The-"
"President of Donpa Motors and the king of the Donpa Kingdom from another planet?" they finished for him. "Yeah, I'm a huge fan of you and your racing team. And I watch those vintage videos of you racing back in the day. Yep, I pretty much know about you."
The rotund tanuki twisted on his mustache. "Ah yes. The golden days." he reminisced. "I was the best back in my time but now those days are now me hosting races from around the many worlds in this universe." he folded his hands as he leaned back, looking at the mysterious person. "Now, before the race starts, I want to know what is your name?"
"My name is Min- I mean- Juice. Y'know, cuz my car got the juice." they pointed their thumb behind them at their car.
Dodon Pa flies his hover craft to get a good look at the car. "Oh my!" he rubs his chin. He turns his head to Juice. "2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34?"
"Yep!" nodded Juice. "And it's modified with the best mods in the street racing scene. I even have nitro tank in case I wanna give this baby even more juice." they place their hand on the hood of their car.
"Ooooh!" Dodon Pa was getting all giddy. "I just LOVE when a racer knows their stuff! So, how long did you have her?"
"About 2 months. Had it since my 16th birthday. Y'see, this vehicle isn't mines per say. It's actually owned by the record label I'm signed to and my mom is my mana- OOPS!" Juice covered their mouth with their hand. They slipped up, nearly revealing their identity. "Tee-hee!" they rubbed the back of their head. "I um... can't reveal much."
The old tanuki turned his attention to Juice. "So you do music eh? Are you a singer or are you what kids your age calls, a "SoundCloud rapper"?"
Juice sweats as they try to think of something. Then, they have a idea. "I am neither. I am a producer and a DJ at various nightclubs around the city."
"How delightful!" he spins his hovercraft around for a few spins as he threw his hands in the air. "You should visit my planet. Then we can throw the biggest party EVER! Then you can DJ for the party and we all will have a gay old time!" he was really showing his age if he said the word "gay". "
As Dodon Pa admires the car, Juice as they held their wisp, stared at Sally for a few seconds before turning their attention back to the happy tanuki.
Sally looks at the tanuki and looks at Knuckles. "Hey Knuckles. Is that Dodon Pa? What's he doing here?"
The red echidna is texting on his phone. "Oh that old head? He's the one who started this whole street race event. I think he here fo' a good time or sum..." he loses his trail of thought since he is focusing on typing on his phone.
He's responding to comments on his SoundCloud. Most of the comments are bashing Knuckles and his songs by telling him how much he sucks and how he should quit rapping.
"Hol' up. Lemme responding to these haters right quick." he walks off.
Sally ponders on why a royalty such as Dodon Pa himself is hosting a event that is deemed illegal in most parts of the world in a country where he has no sovereignty in.
'Why is he here? Street racing is illegal and don't get me started on how dangerous racing in the city can be. Did he even get my uncle's permission to host such a event here?'
Dodon Pa hovers his hover craft above the parking lot. "ATTENTION ALL RACERS!" he shouts. "The race will begin now! Hop in your motorized machines and navigate your vehicle out of the park to Hesse Street. There the race shall begin! Mind you, this race is DEFINITELY illegal and I have no business doing such an ILLEGAL thing in someone else's country, so let's hurry up and make this a quick one."
The chipmunk placed her hands on her hips as she gave the old tanuki a disapproving look. "Well... that answered my question."
"This race will be a sprint race! So you must race from the starting point to the destination which will be on Iizuka Road in front of the Red Star Ring Mall!" as the camera focused on Dodon Pa, he leans his eye close to the camera until the point you could only see the eye and the red veins from it. "Any questions?"
Sally raises her hand. "I have one."
Dodon Pa claps his hands with a expression of joy. "Wonderful! The king's neice speaks! What is your question."
"I would like to know why are you hosting a illegal event-"
"YES!" he cut her off. "That's a wonderful question! Hostess is one of my favorite brands to consume! The powdered donuts are my most favorite treats to eat!" he licks his lips. "Now! Racers hop in your vehicles and turn on them engines, and let them ROAR!" he turns his hovercraft around and flew off to Hesse Street.
Sally looks at the king crazy. 'That was rude. He talked over me and I never mentioned anything about Hostess. What is he on?'
Knuckles walked up to Sally as he finish typing his responses to his "haters" who are actually giving him constructive criticisms to get better at rapping. "He old. Just like how these hatin' ass mofos who's hating on me is getting old." he puts his phone in his pocket. "A'ight shawty, you ready?"
Sally's lips quiver as she worries about what would happen. It's well known that Knuckles is an awful driver. He never got his driver's license and only learned how to drive from playing GTA V according to him. The many near misses he had while driving on the wrong side of the road and the swerving habits of his, Sally feared for the worse. She can already see Knuckles crashing his vehicle and killing her. She knows that Knuckles is tough from his strength and the countless rings he's absorbed so he will survive the crash unscathed but her... oh boy... She can already see the many articles from newspapers and blogs and news videos about her death.
'King Nigel's niece, Sally Acorn, dead at 16 from a fatal car crash'. The horror she thought to herself. The large funeral that will be about her, her friends crying, even Tails. While Knuckles probably spends the rest of his days behind bars for his reckless and neglectful driving. This was something she doesn't want for her or Knuckles.
The thoughts and uneasiness were eating at her. She looked at the rastafarian echidna with her blue eyes as she opens her mouth. "Only on one condition."
"A'ight, lay it on me." he says.
"You don't get me injured or killed." she extends her hand out to him. "Deal?"
"A'ight shawty. I gotchu. As long as you with me, you'll be straight." he shakes her hand.
-A Few Minutes Later-
The racers vehicle was lined up beside each other as Dodon Pa's hovercraft hovered above them as he looked down upon them. Vehicles engines were growling and revving up as their tailpipes sparked with each press from the pedal.
"ALRIGHT RACERS! Whoever reaches the destination first gets to win 50 thousand mobiums! Those in second place gets a cash prize of 20 thousand mobiums! And for those who reaches third place gets to win a cash prize of 10 thousand mobiums! The rest gets nothing because you know what they say, you snooze you lose!"
Knuckles revs his loud engine as his suv jerks forward a bit. "Don't you worry Sal." he says to Sally who is beside him on the passenger side. "With all these crazy mods I installed. We finna win this mug and show these ops who run this!"
The female chipmunk nods with a expression of uneasiness and anxiety.
"On your marks..." the vehicles revs their engines. "Get set..." Juice's eyes shows determination as they rev the engine of their Skyline. Dodon Pa waves his flag down. "GO!"
Music: [Jak 2 - Race With Erol]
"HELL YEAH!" Knuckles mash the gas as his suv and the other vehicles takes off.
"Uhp!" Sally eyes becomes wide as she gets pushed back against the seat due to the intense takeoff.
Both Knuckles and Juice's vehicles leaves the others behind. They were at least going over 150 miles per hour as they turn corners and dodging any cars they come across.
Sally hangs on tight as she clenches her seat belt and hang on to the side of the door due to Knuckles' driving. Him weaving from the street and onto the sidewalks caused the vehicle to be bumpy and rocky as he tried to find a way to gap Juice.
"WO-O-O-O-A-H!" says the chipmunk as the tremble and vibrations could be heard from her from the bumpy ride.
Knuckles' eyes is on the road (and sidewalk) as he turns his steering wheel left and right. "Hang on shawty! I got this, trust yo main mon Knuckles!"
As Juice is driving and turning at different streets right behind Knuckles, they look at his crazy driving. "What is he even doing...?" they look confused. "I'm sure glad that he isn't our chauffeur, right Melody?"
"%^ $^/`1945!" says the magenta wisp as it made alien noises.
Knuckles heads back over to the road and accelerates some more. He looks at his rear view mirror to see that Juice was getting further back from them. "HA!" he laughs in excitement. He looks over to Sally to see her flipped upside down and tangled by the seat belt as she covers her panty area as her eyes swirls. "I told you that we finna win this hoe! HA HA!"
[Music Stops]
Suddenly... Knuckles' back tire blows out. *BOOF!* Knuckles swerves and presses the brake as the tires screech.
"OH SHIT!" he panics as the suv nearly flips over. He manages to stabilize it and it comes to a complete stop.
Juice stops besides them and winds the window down. "Hey! Do you need any help?" they ask as Melody peeps out the window.
Knuckles looks at Juice. "Aye I appreciate that mon. You can help me with my back tire right quick?"
"Ha! Psyche! Eat my dust! NYEH!" they stick out their tongue while Melody taunts Knuckles, then they take off.
*TIRES SCREECH!* *VROOOOOOM!*
"AWW HELL NAW!" he bangs on his steering wheel. "Dirty ass mofo! I'll show you!"
Sally gets out of her daze and sits back up as normal. "A blowout?"
"Yeah this shit blew out! Cheap ass tires! Then that Juice person was picking at me. I'll show them sum after this." he gets out and opens the trunk to take out a spare tire. "Hol' up. This finna be real quick!" in a matter of seconds Knuckles change the tire as fast as a pit stop crew. He hops back in the vehicle. "A'ight I'm back, let's win this bitch and show that Juice jawn who's boss!" he peels off.
[Music Resumes: Jak 2 - Race With Erol]
As he picks up speed, all the other racers catches up and is right behind him. A red Mercedes-Benz AMG GT with a spoiler in the back, a blue Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, and a light green Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, they all were gaining on them.
Sally looks at the rear view mirror on her side and sees those cars behind them. "Knuckles..."
"Wassup?"
"Those cars are right on your tail. I think you need to pick up speed."
Knuckles smirks. "I been hoping to use this mug." he looks at Sally. "You ready for this?"
A confused expression shows on Sally's face. "Ready? For what?"
"Fo' this!" he pushes a button on his dashboard. In the engine was where the Master Emerald was. It glowed and under the hood green light shone. The whole vehicle began to rattle.
*FWOOSH!*
The Tahoe took off as fast as it ever did making the sports cars eats his dust. Knuckles and Sally gets pushed back in their seats as if they were taking off in a rocket. Luckily, the street was wide and a straight shot to the mall and they were nearly there.
Juice and Melody were nearly there. "Hey Melody, look!" they pointed. "I see it. We're nearly there! 50 grand, here we come!"
" %^&*^$%&*!" says the excited alien.
*ZOOM!*
Knuckles flies by them making the Skyline rock a bit due to the intense speed he was going.
"..." both Juice and Melody had a shocked expression on their face. "... What just happened?"
[Music Fades Away]
Sally's heart was racing. Not from just the thrill, but from the fear that Knuckles might get them both of them killed. She is used to speed and going faster than the speed of sound back when Sonic used to carry her around when they were dating, but being in a vehicle with Knuckles? Yeah, she had every right to be scared. Unlike Sonic, the vehicle can't quickly maneuver as fast as Sonic and unlike Sonic and even Knuckles, Sally never gathered as many rings as those two to survive a lethal impact such as a car crash.
"K-K-Knuckles? Could you please s-slow d-d-d-down?"
"Way ahead of you Sal!" he stomps on the breaks and pulls the emergency breaks. He pushes a green button and parachutes came flying out from the rear of the Tahoe.
The finish line and Dodon Pa waving the flag could be seen. "Oh ho ho! Looks like that red echidna and his chipmunk girlfriend wife thingy could be the winners. Oh joy!" says the manic tanuki.
Knuckles begins to sweat. "Hold on shawty. This might be rough!"
Both the echidna and chipmunk were fearing for the worse. They manage to cross the finish line, but they were still going fast. Dodon Pa was sitting in his hovercraft and from the intense speed, the wind coming from behind the vehicle caused the tanuki to spin around super fast.
The elderly tanuki stop spinning and his eyes swirled with Flickies flying around his head. "*Groans*"
A sharp corner with a brick wall is coming up and with the speed they were going in Knuckles doesn't have the luxury of doing a sharp turn.
"AAAAAHHHH!" they both hugged on to each other as they screamed.
Maybe Sally's worst fears were going to come true. Her death, the funeral, Knuckles behind bars, and the mourning of her friends.
Dodon Pa shook his head to snap out of the dizziness and saw that the Tahoe was going to crash into the brick wall. "Oh no! They're going to crash! I got an idea!" he shoots out a couple of giant airbags from his hovercraft at the brick wall. The Tahoe successfully slams into the giant airbags with no signs of a collision. "YIPPIE!" he jumps up in the air as he kicks his feet.
Knuckles pants and looks at Sally. She's sweating with a expression of relief as she pants and places her hand on her chest. "See Sally. I told'ju we was gonna be a'ight."
"*Pants* That was... thrilling. Thank God that we're still alive. Good job on winning the race." she gives him a fist bump.
"Shiid. Ion care about us living. I'm only glad that my baby ain't got damaged." he says as he rubs the steering wheel.
"..." Sally couldn't believe that Knuckles prioritizes his suv over their very own lives. Her right eye twitches and the airbags smacks them both in the face.
Later on... Knuckles was rewarded with 50 grand mobiums while Juice was rewarded with 20 grand.
Dodon Pa and the other racers clapped their hands. "Oh jolly good race!" he wipes a tear from his eye. "Oh how I love a good race with a twist of a ending!"
Knuckles kisses on the hood of his Tahoe. "Oh daddy's so sorry. I almost got you totaled. It won't happen again." as he sobs, he rubs on the suv's right headlight. "It's okay... daddy's here."
"..." Sally couldn't believe how Knuckles was acting to his vehicle. 'How can Julie-Su put up with his antics?'
Juice walks up to the sobbing Knuckles. "Your driving was reckless, but WOW! Your vehicle is super fast!"
Knuckles stopped sobbing and sees that it was Juice. "You..." he gives a mean look. He walks up to the street racer and cracks his knuckles. "You tricked me and taunted me..."
"I know..." they put their arms behind their back as a sweat drop slides down their face, anime style. "I was only joking around."
Knuckles calms down and let out a chuckle. "It's a'ight. I had fun tho." he says. He looks at the Nissan Skyline. "That's a badass car you got right there."
"Thanks. I like it as well. Your engine sounds super sick!"
"Yeah, me and my homeboy Tails manage to modify it earlier today and-"
"Tails?!" they ask with a smile.
"Yeah... what about him?"
"I know him... and..." they rub on their hand. "I know that earlier today..." they stop saying what they were going to say and shake their head. "Never mind. Do you know where he lives?"
"Yeah. I drove him home to school. I know where his crib at."
"Think you can show me?" they say as their eyes lights up.
"A'ight sure. But if you try some funny stuff Imma mess you up." Knuckles brings up his fist with a cocky smirk.
Dodon Pa floats over to Sally. "My, your boyfriend husband thingy is the best racer I've ever seen. I wouldn't mind if he raced for me on my planet." he said as he twistled his white mustache.
"He's not my boyfriend." said a disapproving Sally as she crossed her arms. "I'm just a friend of his."
"Oh, that's what they all say. Oh ho ho!" the tanuki laughs.
She sighed as she rolled her eyes at the tanuki. She dismisses his eccentricity and looks at him once again. "But I must ask you a question."
"Hmm?" he leans forward on his hovercraft.
Sally puts her hands on her hips as she gives him a stern look. "What brought you here to start a illegal event in my uncle's country?" she squints at him while she starts to tap her foot as if she was Sonic.
Dodon Pa looks at Sally as he sweats. "... I..." he shifts his eyes left and right.
-WEE OOO WEE OOO WEE OOO!- police sirens could be heard a few blocks away.
Dodon Pa looks over to where the sound was coming from. "Why, would you look at the time!" he looks at the nonexistent watch on his wrist. "I'll catch you all later! Toodles!" he flies away into the sky.
Knuckles look over his shoulder and sees squad cars. "Shit five-o. C'mon we gotta bounce!" him and Sally runs towards his suv as he looks back to Juice. "Hope you can keep up yo!"
Juice runs to their Skyline. "I-I can keep up!" they said nervously. Juice buckled up their seat belts. 'I don't wanna go to jail!' their lips quiver at the thought. 'If that happens... the media will NEVER let that go! Something like that will definitely hurt my career!' they shake it off and rev up their engine. Knuckles peels off and speeds away and Juice does the same. "Let's go!"
-SCREEEEECH! VROOOOOM!-
Before the police arrived at the scene Knuckles and the other racers already vamoosed.
-Tails' Home-
Over at a suburbs on a street that happens to also be very hilly, you could get a nice view of Mobotropolis. Her famous tall buildings, the river that is connected to the ocean, and the small islands with one of them having a tower that happens to be the base of the infamous Dr. Eggman. In the Prower's Residence, everyone was fast asleep, except for Tails' uncle, cuz y'know all that conjuring and magic spell things those wizards be doing. Tails slept in his bed surprisingly not tossing or turning. He was smiling and he had a rough day earlier with another robot coming out of his head, getting eaten by Chaos, and fusing with the former so he deserved a good night's rest.
-In Tails' Dream-
Tails was dreaming about Mina. It's no secret to us that he simultaneously has a crush on her, Sally, and a little bit of Bunnie. Conflicting at best at which girl to choose from as to him, they all have their own pros.
Sally and Tails both knew each other since childhood and they both care for each other deeply. Sally is the best choice for a girlfriend and eventual wife. She's pretty, fun, caring, smart, selfless, and comes from a good and wealthy family. She descended from royalty for crying out loud! The unexplainable connections that they've been having so far is a sign.
Mina would make a nice girlfriend as well. Her and Tails share a lot of things in common and share the same interests. Both are yellow, both of their names start with the letter M, both like the Chao In Space series, and they both are really into each other. Mina is also pretty, is a perfect mixture of the goth and pop subculture, has a successful singing career, caring, and like Sally, cares deeply for him. Mina could potentially make for a fun girlfriend and eventual wife.
And there's Bunnie... Bunnie finds Tails cute and dotes on him as if he's a little baby. If she was his girlfriend and eventual wife then Tails won't have to worry about anything, she would take care of everything for him. Tails do like Bunnie as much as the other girls, but it's obvious that Bunnie likes him WAAAAY more then he does. From Tails' point of view he likes her country accent, her confidence, her beauty, her "southern hospitality", her short shoulder-length hair, and obviously, her body and large breasts. Tails has a lot of options for a guy his age.
Of course it's conflicting and eventually hearts will be broken unfortunately. But in the meantime Tails will push that in the back burner and enjoy this dream (which he doesn't know that it's a dream like his other dreams).
Tails and Mina were hanging out at a park. It looked like it is in the area that's quite similar to where Mina lives. Y'know, South Mobotropolis at the outskirts of the city. The both of them were walking around the park holding hands and all that love stuff. Tails felt happy and blushed at the sight of the yellow lilac haired mongoose. Her attire was different from when Tails sees her in waking life. She was now wearing a short black tank top that exposed her belly, brown shorts with a black belt with a silver buckle, and large teal gauntlets and boots with white gloves. The only thing that was same about her was her long, wavy and lilac hair along with the black hairband.
But there was something different about her... Her breasts were bigger! They weren't big as Rouge and Bunnie's, but they were juuust right. Not too big, not too small, Goldilocks type stuff. For mobian proportions and Mina's frame, they appeared quite big compared to the average mobian woman.
Tails suddenly noticed her bigger-than-usual breasts and he blushed at the sight as his heart raced. He looked at them as she walked beside him, oblivious that the two-tailed kitsune was staring at her yellow orbs.
"So Tails..." said the female mongoose as Tails rewires his focus on her face. She had her arms behind her back as she looked at the faraway skyscrapers from the city. "Do you have any plans for the weekend?" she smiled at him.
"Uhm... let's see..." he looked straight-forward as he tried to think. "Maybe working on the Tornado some more. You know, the usual stuff."
Mina frowned. "Aww... why do you always have to work on the plane?" she bent forward to Tails which exposed her cleavage to him.
Tails' eyes grew wide and he began to tremble from the anxiety that he was enduring from Mina's mammaries. "..." he fought hard to look up at her face- which didn't make it any better since she looked so sad. Her eyes were watering and her lips started to quiver which made the two-tailed casanova guilty. "I... I just want to make sure that the Tornado is in good condition just in case Eggman or some other threat emerging."
Mina sniffed and still felt sadness a bit. "But I wanna be with you!" she hugged him as her breasts smothered him a bit. He almost loses his balance but maintained it as he regained his footing. "You're no fun!" cried Mina.
"Hey now! Take it easy!" he said as his face was redder than a tomato. "How about this, I work on the plane a bit, and I'll take you for a ride. Let's make it a date."
Mina stops hugging Tails and get excited. "Really? You'll do that for me?"
He nods as he rubs his bangs. "Yep. I'll even take you anywhere you want. Just name the place and I'll take you."
"ALRIGHT!" she jumps up and down which of course made her breasts bounce with each jump. Tails notice this and gets aroused as he stares, even drooling a bit too.
He rapidly shakes his head and snaps out of it. 'Focus!' he smacks himself on the forehead.
Mina stops jumping and looks at him as she just now had an idea. "Tails? Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, what is it?" he looks at her.
She has her hands behind her back as she twists left and right in one spot, looking at him with such innocent eyes. "How much do you know about girls?"
Tails gets taken aback as he lets out an awkward laugh. "Uuhh... hee-hee... I don't know much..." he looks away as he sweats. "Why do you ask?"
"I'm just curious. Since I know a lot about boys, I thought that someone like you would know a lot about girls." she giggles.
"IIIIII... know more about machines then anything else. So that really isn't my strong suit." he looks to see Mina walking closer to him.
Mina gives the yellow kitsune a seductive look as she licks her lips. "I can show you. Only if you promise to keep a secret."
Tails steps back but falls on his bottom as he looks up at the seducing mongoose. "M-m-m-m-m-ina. Wh-what are you..." his heart beats faster then usual.
Mina smirks with bedroom eyes as she unbuckles her belt and unbutton her shorts. "I'm going to teach you a "lot" of things about girls." she is about to pull her tank top up to reveal her big orbs.
Tails' eyes sparkles and he drools a bit with a big smile as a pair of nice breasts is about to be revealed. Mina uses one hand to pull up her tank top and to pull her shorts down to reveal her "lady bits". As they were about to be revealed, light shone from her body which obscured Tails' view. A huge flash of white light covered everything much to Tails' turmoil.
"Wait! No! This can't be happening! NOOOOOOOOO!"
-BEEEEEEEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP!-
The sound of a car horn honking woke Tails up. Tails got up off his bed and walked out his room irritated.
"Oh for the- who is it at a time like this?!" he walked downstairs and towards the door.
In the backyard at the water fountain was Chaos chilling. He was woken by the loud and excessive honking. He rose up from the water and took on his normal form. He walked over from the side of the house and saw a red suv and a Nissan Skyline. Chaos walked as he rubbed his eye tiredly.
Tails opened the front door and saw the red Tahoe. "Really? Knuckles?!" Tails facepalmed. 'Let's see what he wants...' as he got closer to the vehicle, the passenger window winded down and both Sally and Knuckles were seen.
Tails eyes grew wide as he got surprised by Sally. "Sally?!"
The red chipmunk giggled. "Yep. It's me. With Knuckles."
"Whaddup mon?!" waved Knuckles as he turned the vehicle off and got out. "What's crackin' mon?" he gave Tails a fist bump. which hurt Tails' fist a bit thanks to how hard Knuckles hit.
"Ow..." his hand throbs. "I was asleep until you woke me up." he rubbed his eye.
"Aye." Knuckles raised his hands defensively as Sally was seen behind him getting out the vehicle. "It ain't my fault yo shawty wanted to come over to your crib." he leans forward a bit as he whispered to Tails. "I low-key think she wanna smash. So here ya go dawg." he hands Tails a condom.
"...?" the naive kitsune looks at it as he held it. "What is this? Candy?"
"Naw. It's for you and Sally. Ain't that right Sally?" he looked over his right shoulder at her.
Sally saw what was in Tails' hand and blushed profusely with her face redder than the hair on her head. "What- hey!" she snatches the condom from Tails and smacks it against Knuckles' face. "Don't be giving him things like that! Keep it to yourself!"
Knuckles chuckled. "*Chuckles* I was only messing around. I don't even have sex. I just buy these and blow them up like balloons to get on Julie-Su's nerves. Plus Ion got no time fo' sex. I gotta make some fire music!"
Sally rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She looks over as she heard a car door slam. It was Juice as they walked up to them.
"H-hey..." they waved as they blushed at the two-tailed vulpine.
Tails cocked his head to the side. "Do I... know you?"
"It's me." Juice pulled down the hoodie and revealed themselves. Tails, Sally, and Knuckles all looked shocked in unison.
"Mina?" said Tails as he blushed as the dream was still on his mind.
"Yup." said Mina as she gave a peace sign as she blushed a little. "Whew!" she fanned herself. "That race sure did burn me up." she was sweating from the intense street race that she and the other racers had with Knuckles and it didn't help that she didn't use her air conditioner to cool herself down, so she unzipped and took off her hoodie which revealed her wearing a purple sports bra.
"..." Tails became quiet and blushed as he looked at the mongoose's body. He looked her up and down from head to toe. Sure she didn't had the same size breasts in the dream, but Tails still found her hot nonetheless.
She wrapped her hair up in a ponytail and wrapped the jacket around her waist. Tails was blushing hard as he stared at Mina.
"Tails!" Mina ran up and hugged Tails.
"Hmmph!" Sally crossed her arms as she looked at Mina sternly. She sees our lilac haired mongoose as competition.
"Oh I was so worried about you!" while still hugging him, she used one of her hands to move his bangs back to take a good look at his forehead. "Are you still okay from what happened earlier today?"
"I'm fine." he said as he looked into Mina's green eyes. "I'm just resting until monday."
She broke the hug as she simpered. "If you need anything please let me know."
"Okay." he replied.
"Aww shoot." said the hyped red echidna. "My boy Tails be pulling all the baddies!"
Sally walked up to Tails and Mina with her arms crossed. "Miles, I didn't know that you knew HER." she said as she looked at Mina with anger.
"..." Mina grumbled under her breath at Sally and looked at Tails. "Tails, is this Sally who you've been telling me about?" she crossed her arms as well as she looked at Sally up and down.
"Oh!" Tails sees the two girls looking at each other with daggers and tries to introduce them as maybe that will calm the tension between them two down. "Um... Sally, this is Mina." he introduces Sally to Mina. "and Mina, this is Sally she's a...-"
"A friend." Sally says with her arms still crossed. "A really really GOOD friend." says the red haired chipmunk as she emphasized to make Mina understand what she was getting at.
Mina scoffs. "I know about you, mayor's daughter."
Sally rolls her eyes and looks away from Mina as she can't stand the sight of her. "Likewise, Songoose."
"Grrrrr..." the two of them stares each other down as sparks connects from their eyes.
"Now now shawties." Knuckles got in between them to separate them. "We ain't finna be fighting over Pimp-T over here." the two girls were still staring at each other.
Chaos is far off in the background as he peeps over from the side of the house.
"Um..." Tails buds in. "Is everything alright?"
"YES!" the two girls turned to him and shouted in unison as the intense look is still in their eyes as it appears that they still haven't gotten over their bickering.
Tails sweats as he doesn't want to get caught up in a potential catfight. 'I think I'll tell Sally what happened tomorrow or probably monday due to how intense things are.'
Mina stares at Sally and Sally does the same to Mina. It's as if two cowgirls were prepping for a "Fast Draw".
"Y'know..." says Mina. "Me and Tails is supposed to be going out for a movie hopefully sometime soon. That new Chaos In Space movie is looking great. Have you seen the trailer?"
"Keep away from him." says Sally. "We have plans of hanging out so keep out of this."
Mina squints at Sally and Sally does the same.
"Hmmph!" they both say in unison as they cross their arms and look away.
Sally walks up to Tails and place her hand on his. "Miles... I..." she looks away as she blushes. "I just wanted to see you..." she hides her reason for being out. "I... will explain to you why I am out at a time like this later... And a odd thing that happened to me. But I'm glad to see you." she gives him her typical warm smile.
Tails looks into her blue eyes. "Me too..."
Mina talks to Knuckles. "Is she always this bratty?"
"Shiid. Truth be told. Nah. I think she just don't like you cuz you prolly like Tails or sum." he says as he types on his phone.
Sally looks at his house. "This is a nice house you have here." she looks and admires the house, it's yard, and the white picket fence.
"Oh this? Pssh! I'm sure that your mansion is way better then my parents' house."
"Bigger doesn't always mean better." she looks at him. "Sometimes less is more. But I am blessed for being in the situation I'm in. Nonetheless I can't complain."
"Yeah..." he casually says while being mesmerized by her beauty. He looked at her nightgown and blushed at her slim and petite body.
"Well..." she turns around to walk back to the suv. "I have to go back home. Y'see I kinda snuck out."
"WHAT?!" Tails becomes shocked.
Sally laughs with her eyes closed as she rubs her arms with a tear drop sliding on the side of her face, anime style. "I'll explain it to you later. Bye Miles." she waves as she walks towards the suv.
Mina walks up to Tails. "So... you still wanna go see that movie?" she says as she twiddles with her fingers.
"Umm..." Tails thinks. Being the nice guy he is, he accepts. "Sure. This friday?"
Mina smiles and hugs him. "Yes! That's perfect!" she walks to her vehicle as Melody could be seen in the passenger seat looking from the inside as she floats around. Mina looks back and wave. "Friday it is then!"
"Yep!" Tails waved as he smiled.
Sally looked back at Mina with a glare and got in the suv.
"A'ight loc. Keep it locked up here G." said Knuckles as he gave Tails another fist bump which once again hurt his hand.
"Ow... will do Knux." says Tails as he tries to tough out the pain.
A'ight. Peace out!" he gets in the suv and cranks it up and peels off.
A few seconds later, Mina pulls off as she honks the horn at Tails as he waves.
Tails walks back towards his house as his mouth quivers. 'Geez! I think I accidentally made Sally and Mina hate each other. I don't want them to fight over me and I don't know much about girls or what to do. This could get out of hand.' he looks up to see Chaos peeping from the side of the house.
"..." Chaos slowly slides away from Tails' view and heads back to the water fountain to resume his slumber.
"That was weird..." said Tails as he heads back inside. Tails thinks to himself. 'Well at least Bunnie's not involved. THAT would be more of a disaster.' he heads back to his room for a goodnight's rest.
To be continued...
Author's Note 2: Hope you enjoyed this chapter y'all. I know that much isn't going on and the pacing is too slow but we're getting there. Since I be writing and making up things as I go along, I think I accidentally started a rivalry between Sally and Mina (Fml LMAO!). I'm going to try real hard not to make it a "Soap Opera Furry Drama" like how people complained back in the Archie Sonic days. Don't worry, I ain't finna make it like that since I'm more focused on the characters' personalities, the worldbuilding, and me slowly making my way to the serious parts. Better writing and improvements coming soon homies!
Until then, keep going out there and never give up. Follow your dreams and pursue your passions and the most important thing of all, live life to the fullest! I'll catch you dawgs on the flip-side! Stay safe out there my dawgs!
