Author's Note: Imma let y'all dawgs know that this will be the last episode that is part of the slow build-up. Personally the whole time I just wanted to cut to the chase and write the good stuff. But that would've resulted in extremely sloppy and illogical writing LMAO! Now, this episode doesn't have much going on but I promise you, for real, that the next upcoming episodes and the rest of this season is going to be better and more action packed. I'm going the Ultimate Spider-Man route along with a cinematography style in mind opposed to a TV show. It'll still have the Sonic-cy feel and all that good stuff.
I digress homies, enjoy and good reading my dawgs!

Season 1 Episode 16
Calm Before The Storm
-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.-
-At A Grassland In Eurish-
There is a small cottage and a small farm over at the far outskirts of Spagonia. Sheep and goats all roamed the plains as the grass rustled from the breeze. The sun and the beautiful blue sky complemented with white clouds were shown as birds were heard chirping and tweeting nearby. A few seconds later, a pale green female pronghorn jumped high in the air, obscuring the view of the sun. She had a scythe in one hand while the other was free. She looked into the camera with serious and determined eyes as she was eventually planning to charge down towards it.
"HAH!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she lunged in the air towards the camera.
"Uh oh!" said a younger green female pronghorn as she looked up with dark grey tonfas in both her hands. She rolls away from the attack and quickly recovers and gets in a fighting stance. "Is that the best you can do, cunt?" she smiled arrogantly.
The older pronghorn name is Clove. She has pale green fur with curved ears, a white muzzle, four smooth tufts of fur on the back of her head, a short bushy tail, and two short black prong antlers on her forehead. White patches of fur are located around her eyes with dark grey fur on her ear tips, her eyelids, and on the bridge of her nose. She also has purple eyes and like most of the female mobians, thick eyelashes.
For attire she wears a long white cloak with short sleeves that stops at her knees with a yellow onesie underneath. She wears white gloves on both hands and brown boots.
Her younger sister, Cassia is a green pronghorn who looks like a smaller version of her sister. She has purple eyes, a dark green pompadour that resembles the swirl of a cinnamon roll, curved ears with black tips, and small black horn stubs on her forehead.
For attire she wears a purple tank top with matching colors gloves that goes up to her forearms, black jogging pants, and matching purple boots.

The dust from the area cleared up and Clove, seen kneeling with her eyes closed, got up and pulled her scythe from the damaged ground. She opens her eyes and gives Cassia the same look as before. "Watch your mouth you bint!" with a smile she charges towards her as she held her scythe in both hands ready to swing.
Panickingly, Cassia used her two tonfas to block Clove's scythe, any second late and the cinnamon roll pompadour girl would've gotten a scar that would last her for the rest of her life. Clove pushes down harder on her attack while her little sister panics in the struggle. But she tries her best to push her sister and the weight of the heavy impact away.
Still in the struggle Clove gives her younger sister a arrogant smile. "What's the matter Cass, your big sis is too strong for you? Tsk tsk." she teased.
"Tch!" Cassia becomes irritated. "Eeeenough!" she pushes her older sister back high up in the air, catching Clove off guard from her sister's sudden strength.
Clove lands on both feet and slightly struggled to maintain a balance. "Oi! Good on you Cass. You managed to deflect me and my attack."
"Ha ha!" celebrated the cinnamon haired pronghorn as she raised her tonfas in the air. "Looks like you underestimated me you trollop!"
Multiple veins pop above Clove's head, anime style as she runs towards Cassia as she dragged her scythe on the ground. "How many times have I told you to watch your bloody mouth?!" she stops running, allowing her feet to slide on the ground and crouches as she does a counter-clockwise spin. She then swings her scythe and it clashes with Cassia's tonfas.
"Ohp!" she blocks once again but now her limbs get weaker as her arms begins to wobble like noodles. "*Grunts*" struggled the juvinile pronghorn as she gives all her remaining strength to block Clove's attack.
Clove pushes harder as she bites down on her bottom lip. "EeeerAAAAAAAHHHHH!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she push with all her might.
*SHIIIING!*
[Music Stops]
The background now becomes red and only the silhouettes of the two pronghorn sisters were shown as they both stood a few feet away from each other with their backs turned. "Grch...! *Groans*" groaned Cassia as she struggles to keep standing.
The scene shows the front of Clove as the camera slants just slightly as one half of Clove's face is seen, her non-shaded eye filled with determination and authority for dramatic purposes. "Every time I warn you that the results will always be the same. Why do you persist?" her pupil looks towards the direction of Cassia as the camera slides just a bit to the right to show the backside of Cassia's silhouette.
*RIIIIIIIIING!*
All of Cassia's rings scatters out of her and she falls flat on her face as the background and everything returns back to normal. Time and time again, Clove always beats her sister. Despite Cassia's fatal illness, which is NIDS, she always wants to be strong like her older sister. Since both of their parents died while they were young it was up to Clove to take care of Cassia after she and her inherited the cottage and farm. Herding sheep and goats and training nearly daily with her scythe, Clove only does it so that she can be strong enough to protect her sister and their home which Cassia admires so much. She wants to be just like her older sister, strong and somewhat stoic, but unfortunately with a disease that is beyond her control that isn't possible.
"Dammit..." whines Cassia as she remained face down.
Clove walks to her fallen sister and squats down to her. "C'mon Cass." she holds her hand out to her.
"..." the little pronghorn didn't respond.
"Are you too hurt to get up? *Sighs* Maybe I shouldn't have been heard on you. But I try to warn you that you can't do things like I can because yo-"
"Sick." she finished for her as she rose her head with her eyes filled with tears. "Yeah-yeah. I get it..." struggled she did, but she got up on her own and was slowly limping back to the cottage.
Clove felt bad about Cassia's condition and the fact that she have to do this "training" (as called by Cassia) every day where no matter how hard Cassia tries she always loses all thanks to her illness. "*Sigh* Cassia... let's go and gather your rings. You need them to-"
"BOLLOCKS! Hell do I need them for? No matter how many of those lot I absorb I will still remain sick. It's not going to slow down the disease Clove!" cried the sickly young pronghorn as her face was hot and steamy from her tears and the snot coming out of her nose. "I'm still going to die no matter what!" Clove feels immense guilt for her sister. So young yet she has to suffer. "Why did mum and pa had to die so soon? Why can't I be a normal kid, huh? I always look out the window everyday to watch the kids play, while poor me looks at them from my window wishing to be them... Why can't I be healthy just like you?"
Despite her coming off as a snarky brat with no filter. Deep down inside Cassia is a pretty sweet soul who just longs for a healthy life and a sense of belonging. She has no friends, always been ostracized from the other kids because of her disease, and she has no choice but to spend majority of her days in bed since her body is slowly shutting down.
Clove looks down at the grass as she listened to her baby sister's lamenting. "... Cassia..." she places her hand on her shoulder. "I know that it's hard in these trying times. Honestly I feel for you... But just remember to keep the faith and everything will work out in the end."
Cassia swats Clove's hand off of her. "Keep the faith?! KEEP THE FAITH"?!" her pupils shook with anger. "How in the bloody hell can I keep the faith when I am constantly suffering in pain and loneliness?! You just don't get it. I'm sick! And I'm also sick and tired of you to keep telling me to keep having faith in a deity who probably gets their jollies off with my suffering and the suffering of others!"
"..." the older pronghorn didn't know what to say.
"What about mum and pa? I bet they "kept the faith" when they were suffering and look at where that got them now." Cassia looks down as her body shakes uncontrollably as she cries. "It's all make-believe... I'm gonna die and there's no God or anything and anyone who can do anything about it..."
Clove reaches her hand out for her. "Cass... I'm sorry... It's just that I-" Clove always tried her best to prepare herself for the day when Cassia dies. Despite preparing, she knows that she will never be prepared for the wave of emotions that she will feel when that day comes.
"Oh my! That almost brought a tear to my eye." says Eggman as he sits in his Egg Mobile while wiping a tear from his eye.
"!" whatever was going on between the two sisters stopped as their attention and focus was now on Eggman.
"Robotnik?!" Cassia brings out her scythe once again. "What in blazes?! We all thought you popped your clogs last year!"
The egg shaped mustached man raised an eyebrow. "Hm What in the world does that mean?" even though Eggman has an IQ of 300 apparently he doesn't know much about foreign slangs.
Cassia, hiding behind her sister wiped her face and peeped out from behind Clove. "What she meant was we thought you croaked!"
"Ah! Well in that case, NO! I'm alive and well!" he leans back and kick his feet up. "Haven't you girls saw the broadcast a few days back?"
"We don't watch TV. We don't have much need to technology." says Clove.
What Clove said made the genius a bit angry. "Well you're missing out! Long story short, I announced that I'm back and badder than ever!" Eggman sits straight up and smiles at the two girls. "Now, let's not beat around the bush. I saw how you two were battling with your little weapons as I was flying around." he points at Clove. "You're quite agile and fast. Maybe with more training you could take on my greatest foes." then his index finger moves over to Cassia. "And you, despite your disease, I will need you as well for my big plan." he clasps his hand together as he rested them on his dashboard. "So, how 'bout it you two girls join the Eggman Empire and work for me?"
Clove becomes agitated as she clenches her fists. "You must be off your rockers if you think that we'll work for the likes of you!"
"Yeah! We're not going to work for you you obese pig!" shouted Cassia.
"Grrr...!" Eggman's face becomes red. "Listen here you little twerp! I know about you and your disease. You don't have long!" Cassia's ears drop low as she scowls at the doctor. "But... what if I tell you that I can fix your disease."
"Oi?!" both sisters say in unison as their ears perk up.
"Y-you can fix my disease?" Cassia points to herself as she looks at Eggman in disbelief.
He smiles. "Yes. It is quite genetic on my side of the family. I had a cousin who had NIDS." says the ginger-stached scientist as he twist the edge of his bushy mustache.
The mention of Eggman's cousin caught Cassia's interest. "You had a cousin who had the same disease as me? Did you cure her of it?" she asks as stars shine in her eyes of excitement.
Eggman looks at her as he stops smiling. "No. Because she was unfortunately killed by G.U.N.!"
"Oh..." her ears droops low.
Eggman returns to the original focus of the conversation as he smiles again. "But! With my genuis and excellent brain, I can cure you. Only on one condition." he says as he raises his index finger near his face. "You two young ladies will have to work for me."
Both sisters stare at each other for a few seconds of hesitation. From the look in her eyes, Cassia doesn't want to miss this opportunity or any other if it meant that she could have her disease eradicated. And Clove always worked hard to be able to keep taking her younger sister to the doctor and always dreamed for a way to cure Cassia's disease. Hearing this from Eggman, a genius despite him being a villain sounds like a dream and that her prayers were answered. Both of the sisters nodded at each other then the two of them looked back up at Eggman. "Deal!" they both nodded to him.
Eggman grins. 'That was easier than I thought! I thought that I was going to have a hard time with these two. Thought I had to deploy a few Egg-Hammers to destroy their precious little farm to threaten them into working for me.' Eggman smiles revealing his pearly white teeth. "Well then welcome to the Eggman Empire! I will take you both back to my base for orientation and training." Eggman lowers his Egg Mobile to the ground and pushes a button that causes the hovercraft to eject two smaller Egg Mobile side carts on the side.
Cassia hops in one of the side carts. "Whoa! This is so cool!"
As Clove gets in the side cart she couldn't help but ask a question. "But what about our herd and the cottage?"
"Eh. Don't worry about that." he waved his hand dismissively. "You young ladies will be around quite more than you think. I will explain more at my base."
The three of them fly off into the sky with Clove and Cassia now on their way to train and work for Dr. Eggman.
-Great Forest; Acorn Republic-
[Music: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Gormotti Forest]
Not too far from the city is a giant forest called the Great Forest. A lush forest with millions of trees that surrounds the country's mountains and makes about 50% of the country. Even though it's covered with trees, some areas are open-ended with numerous lakes, caves, and waterfalls. If you look around enough you could even find a Chao Garden. The Great Forest covers nearly the majority of the Acorn Republic hence its name. It's mostly home to the native mobinis such as the Rickies and Flickies and the city does it's best to help keep the forest clean and to protect it and the wildlife from harm from ecoterrorism and construction companies. For hundreds of years the Great Forest is one of the Acorn Republic's tourist attraction due to it's otherworldly peaceful vibe and famous glowing leaves at nighttime.
There, an observation deck is located near the edge of the forest on a tall tree. The flooring and railing of the deck is made out of wood and is built high up around one of the tallest trees in the forest offering a beautiful view of the city. The observation deck isn't too big, but it's big enough for 10 people to be onboard. The green leaves often fall on the flooring, decorating it with it's beautiful colors. A set of stairs that spirals around the tree leads up to this deck that holds a beautiful view of the city. But if you aren't the type that likes walking up stairs (whether out of laziness or bad knees, wheelchairs, etc.) then don't worry because a elevator was added a few years back for your convenience.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Sally, Bunnie, Nicole, Chaos, and Tikal were chilling out at the deck. Long story short, but Knuckles added everyone in a group chat and begged for everyone to hang out at the forest's deck to talk about something in which they all agreed on.
Sonic stood near the elevator door, leaning his back and kicking his foot against the tree while both Chaos and Tikal were near him. Tikal founded Sonic cool and still has deep admiration and respect for him ever since the events of Sonic Adventure.
The female ancient echidna stared at the blue hedgehog in admiration. "Um... Sonic?" this caught Sonic's attention and he looks at her. "I wanna know something."
"Hit me." said the blue hedgehog.
Tikal is caught off guard at his response. She appears to be shocked and shivering. "Y-you..." she looks down at her hand and struggles to ball it into a fist and to bring it up. "You want me t-to hit you?" she tears up a bit since she can't bring herself to it. "I don't like violence." she closes both eyes as tears escape from them. Both Sonic and Chaos are baffled by Tikal's reaction.
"Woah now." Sonic zips over to her. "I didn't mean hit me as in- literally. I meant it as in 'go ahead'."
Tikal comes to realization that Sonic didn't meant it as that and wipes her eyes. "Oh..." she laughs out of embarrassment. "Sorry about that. I'm not used to the modern day language." she gets back to her question. "After me and Chaos left how were the people of Station Square. I hope that no one has lost their lives." she looks up to Sonic with watery eyes. "I don't want another repeat like back in my time."
"..." Sonic knows that there were some casualties from the Chaos Incident, but in order to spare Tikal's heart and her relationship with Chaos, he decided to fib a little. "Well y'see..." he rubs under his black nose as he contemplates what to tell Tikal. He looks at Tikal again and sees her puppy dog eyes and jumps a bit at how cute and innocent she looks, reminding him of how Cream is. He smiles and gives her a thumbs up. "Nobody got hurt and nobody died. Station Square got rebuilt after that fiasco and around last year the city was back to normal as if nothing ever happened." he winks at her.
A sigh of relief escaped her as she closed her eyes as she placed her heart on her chest. "Thank God that things went well." another question popped up in her mind. "Sonic? I've been wondering about what else happened throughout the few years after me and Chaos left."
"Alrighty then..." Sonic prepares to explains what went down these past years during Tikal and Chaos' departure.
Meanwhile at the other side of the deck were Tails and Knuckles. They were having a heart-to-heart conversation.
"Aye mon." said Knuckles as he leaned against the rail.
Tails also leaned against the rail too and looked over to Knuckles. "Yeah?"
"If we manage to smoke Eggmon and the other evil ops in this world. How do you imagine how shit would be?"
"Oh! That's a... good question." Tails postulates on how peaceful the world would be. "Well I know that Earth will be a better place. Humanity will progress for the better such as no war, poverty, diseases, and so on. Sure we all will have our problems. But I think that the world will be peaceful until the end of time."
Knuckles smiles. "That's dope. I like the sound of that!"
"Buuut..." Tails adds as Knuckles becomes intrigued. "We all know that that's an extremely unlikely scenario."
"Whoa dawg." Knuckles turns to Tails. "Whaddya mean unlikely? Ain't that we been fighting for?"
The two-tailed kitsune nods. "Yeah but, it's unlikely because of how people are. There will be disagreements, corruption, and other awful things under the sun. It's likely that G.U.N. and other nations will fight over the Chaos Emeralds and that will potentially lead up to a war. And we all know that the emeralds doesn't need to fall into the hands of G.U.N. or any other organization like that." Tails focuses on his hands and describe the situation with his hands, slowly bringing his palms together. "If the emeralds fall into G.U.N.'s possession, and they use that towards their weapons- AND if someone absorbs the negative emotions of the emeralds then- *PCHEW*!" Tails waves his hands around as he mimics a explosion. "Chaos and disaster will happen."
Knuckles refocuses his gaze on the view of the city. "Shit homie. You prolly right. Humanity do be fumbling sometimes. They be having all this guap for weapons of destruction, but not enough for helping the po' folks. I low-key be thinking that maybe they don't know what they're doing and are falling victim to themselves and the system their own forefathers made."
"..." Tails is actually stunned at Knuckles speaking facts and wisdom. He also looks at the view of the city. "Yeah. You're right Knux."
"But who knows mon? We might be fighting a worthy battle and could make a change for the future. A world where humans and mobians could be all buddy-buddy with each other opposed to one of them trynna do evil things with robots and stuff. But it might end in the whole world being ruined cuz someone just wanna be evil or sum."
"Yeah. Maybe a few hundred years our kids' kids might be living in a ruined world. A world filled with flames and despair. That is why we must always fight for what is right and teach the future generation to do the same."
Knuckles nods in agreement. "Fasho lil bro." he gives Tails a fist bump. "Speaking of humans and mobians. We know that Shadow is like one of them science thangs? So he prolly gonna outlive us and prolly even live forever. You think that humanity gonna turn against him?"
Tails' ears drops low at the thought of it. "*Sighs* I think it's a possibility. It might be a repeat of what happened at the Ark. They might try to destroy him but best case scenario- which is still bad mind you, they might just seal him away until the end of time. Fearing that he might be a danger to the world. I really hope not."
"True that... damn. All this politicking is making my mood low. Let's talk about sum else mon."
"Like what?"
"Shawties." Knuckles smirked at him.
Tails' ears spike up. "GIRLS?!"
His teeth shines as he smiles. "Yeah. Let's talk about them. Especially for you. Now, outta all of these shawties, who do you think is the finest?"
He steps back as he sweats. "D-d-d-do I really have to answer that?!"
"Of course. If we can talk about depressing shit like what we just did, then we can talk about who you think is fine, eh mon?"
The two-tailed kitsune presses his fingers together as he looks away blushing. "It's complicated."
"It can't be that hard." he reposition himself by leaning back against the rail as he looks at the girls. He looks at Sally who's occupied with chatting with her friends. "I already know that you like Sally non-titty-having ass."
"KNUCKLES!" Tails blushes as he shouts. "You can't be talking about other people's bodies like that! Th-that's body shaming!"
"On second thought." the red echidna holds his chin as he thinks. "She do have a little bit of titty. My bad dawg. I ain't saw right."
Tails closes his eyes and sighs from embarrassment.
"I do be seeing you being close with other shawties. So maybe that's why you say it's complicated." he chuckles. "Well Bunnie's thicc as hell. But Ion think you can handle her. Right dawg?"
He turns chibi and waves his hands around, anime style. "Knuckles! Why are we talking about these things?! Can't we talk about something else?"
"Hol' up. One more. How about Nicole? She's smart as hell like you. I be seeing her building things outta thin air and all that." he taps under his chin a few times. "If y'all have kids... then they prolly gonna be smart as hell." he looks at Tails. Then a light bulb appears over his head as it brightens. "Oh I know! How 'bout you get with all of them and be into that polygamy stuff? I think it fits you mon."
"Okay now! That is enough!" he blushes hard. "You're not helping at all and I don't wanna talk about anything like that!"
"I'm only playing with you dawg." he laughed as he pats the fox on the back.
Julie-Su is standing nearby as she shakes her head at Knuckles and his foolishness. "What a damn fool. Knuckles, leave him the hell alone."
"I was only playing tho'!" he laughed.
Close by, Sally is having a casual chat with Nicole and Bunnie. "So Nicole, how is Mr. Ellidy doing? I haven't heard much from him ever since him and daddy stopped speaking to each other for whatever reason."
The brown and black female lynx casually typed on her phone. "Oh, father is doing well. He's nowadays just researching those Red Star Rings that be floating about. You know him, always trying to find out how to incorporate things into technology."
"Oh. I take it that he's no longer working on that virtual world thing he always worked on."
"Oh no. Father is still working on the Digitizer and the Virtual World project. He's nearly completed it. He just has to tweak a few things here and there and eventually it'll be complete."
"Wow. Really?" says the amazed chipmunk. "Like... he was working on that ever since we were little girls. For him to be so dedicated to a project like that- it really amazes me!"
"Yep. That's father for you." Nicole casually replies while still typing on her phone. The reason why her eyes are glued onto her phone is because she's coding and developing a website while multitasking.
Bunnie looks at the view of thousands of trees as far as her eyes could see. "Hey now sugahs." she tells both Sally and Nicole as she focuses her gaze on them. "Now tell me why in tarnation did sugah-Knux tell us to come all the way out here?"
Nicole stops typing and puts the phone in her pocket. "I have no clue. Why don't we ask him?"
Knuckles held his arms crossed as he was explaining to both Julie-Su and a blushing Tails on why he thinks that Tails should be with multiple girls. "Don't it make sense? Our lil mon, Tails, having a harem of shawties and being able to kiss any of them without the other shawties crying about him cheating?"
"Fool. You know he's still underage, right?" says the pink echidna.
"Oh shoot you right..." Knuckles postulates. "Oh! How 'bout when he turns 18 or something like that? That's how them rappers be livin'." he gives Julie-Su a smile.
"..." she stands there with a vein throbbing on the side of her forehead, anime style. "I swear, no matter how many beatings I give you, you will still be hard headed and be stupid as hell."
"C'mon T-Dawg." Knuckles wraps his arms around Tails. "Imagine Sally, Nicole, and that Mia chick." once again, our favorite red echidna got Mina's name wrong again. Tails closes his eyes. "Now imagine them all in this big ass mansion that you own, and they all be in these skimpy bikinis always serving you food and giving you all the love and attention you want."
A thought cloud appears over Tails as he imagines what Knuckles told him to. Sally, Nicole, and Mina all in skimpy bikinis as they all giggle and play in the pool with another vision of him lying down on Sally's lap as she and the other girls feeds him grapes. The kitsune's face turns red and he begins to salivate.
"Hell, imagine even Bunnie and Rouge too. I know for a fact you gonna love them with their big ass titties 'n shit." Knuckles teased as he laughed.
Tails also imagines Bunnie and Rouge as well in skimpy bikinis as those poor bikinis struggle to keep their large melons contained. All the bouncing and potential wardrobe malfunctions gave the fox a bloody nose.
"Aaa-aaa-aaa..." the fox stuttered as he gives a derpy smile.
Julie-Su smacks Knuckles in the back of his head. "Boy cut that shit out! Look at what you doing to him!"
"Ow!" he rubs the back of his head and looks back at the angry pink echidna. "My fault for not including you. I ain't added you in cuz you mine."
The angry pink echidna gets fired up as flames emits from her eyes. "I AIN'T MEANT IT LIKE THAT YOU-"
"Hey Knuckles." says Sally as her and the girls walk up to them. This catches all three's attention. "Why did you wanted us to come all the way over here?"
[Music Fades Away]
"I'm glad you asked, shawty." says the red rastafarian echidna while he puffed his chest out all proudly with a smile that gleamed. "Aye yo Sonic! Y'all come over here! I wanna speak to y'all about something!" Sonic, Tikal, and Chaos all walk over to Knuckles, as they all are now surrounding him. "Y'see. Eggmon's over here finna be our new principal over at our school. Sucks that he's still alive tho'. But him showing back up reminded me of when me, Sonic, and Tails was apart of a team called Team Sonic."
This confuses Sonic. "Was? But we're still Team Sonic. And when my metal copy decided to turn into an even more uglier junk of metal, the other three teams joined up with us making us Sonic Heroes." smirked the blue hedgehog as he flicked his thumb under his nose.
"Yeah mon I know that. But we over here got..." he counts Sally and the others who weren't involved during the game events. "...one, two, three, and four, five chicks. Six making Chaos."
"Okay. Apparently he didn't lose much of his brain cells if he can still count." Sonic remarks to himself.
"Like, ain't that gonna be too many teams, mon?"
Tails buds in. "C'mon Knuckles. You can never have too many teams. Think about how G.U.N. has all these different branches in their military. Besides, you can never have enough help."
"Shoot homie. I think we need to come up with better names. Cuz Ion think "Team Sally" would make a dope name. And besides she ain't got no powers like us. Same goes for her two shawty friends. Well, Julie over here could be their bodyguards since she's strong like me."
Sally folds her arms in a disapproving manner as she gives her rastafarian friend an unsatisfied look. "Don't you think that I am very aware that I don't have any powers like you guys? And what's wrong with the name "Team Sally"? I think it sounds nice thank you very much."
"Um... well shawty y'see-"
Bunnie interrupts him as she pokes her finger on his chest. "An' another thang suge. Whadda'ya mean ah ain't got no powers? Y'know we country gals grow up to be big an' strong." she flexes both her arms. " An' another thang!" she pokes his chest once again. "Just because we ain't got no powers doesn't mean that we can't be apart of a team!"
"Shoot. You might be on to sum shawty." another idea appears before him as he snaps his fingers. "Oh snap! I know!" he points to Bunnie. "You could be the "Sax-Cymbal" of our team!" he suggested as he tried to mimic Bunnie's southern accent. He thought that it was funny and laughed.
Sonic facepalms and shakes his head. "Oh man. He just gets worse by the day..."
Knuckles butchered attempt angered the southern belle. "Listen here ya raggedly dusty dreaded pothead. Pick at mah way o'speaking again 'n' ah'm gonna make ya gonna regret the day you was evah born..." she cracks her neck and both her knuckles.
The pink echidna joined in. "Just give me the word gurl. Maybe if we both beat his ass he'll probably get a lick of sense back."
Knuckles waves his hands around defensively. "A'ight, a'ight. Chill dawgs. I was only joking." he redirects the conversation back on track. "Ok... hear me out. We got Sonic Heroes as our gang... -"
"It's a team Knux." Sonic corrected him.
Knuckles looks at Sonic annoyed. "It's the same thang, mon."
Sally thinks. "... Well... even though we don't have any powers like you guys. We can still be a team by using our skills and talents."
"What you mean shawty?" Knuckles asks as everyone looked at the red haired chipmunk.
"Um.. well l'see... Take Nicole for example. Inventing things might not be her specialty like Tails. But she is able to develop softwares in a jiffy that would be able to help us out. I'm not saying this because I'm her bestie but Nicole is one of the smartest girls I know in the whole world."
Nicole blushes. "D'aww... that's super sweet Sal."
Sally continues. "And with Bunnie, she's quite strong. I saw her single-handedly lift up one of the tractors... With one hand!"
"And I saw her fling Bean all the way across the school yard!" Tails added in.
Bunnie's cheeks becomes red as she simpers. "Aww shucks. It was nothin'..." she then squats down and pinches Tails' cheeks. "But if push comes to shove. Ahmma do anythang to protect mah foxie right here on these future missions." she giggles as she continues to pinch the embarrassed blushing kitsune.
Sonic looks at Sally. "You sure you wanna do this Sal? This isn't like back when we were kids when we used to play around the park. Eggman and the other villains aren't anything to sneeze at."
"Sonic, please. I am aware of what I'm getting ourselves into. You know almost everything about me." she rolls her eyes. "You know that daddy and my butlers has trained me and Elias all our lives. It explains why I'm so agile and slim."
"You're right Sal. I know almost everything about you. All the way down to that birthmark of yours." he trolled.
"Don't you DARE bring that up!" she pushed her finger against his chest as she blushed.
Tails heard what Sonic said. 'Birthmark? What's embarrassing about that?' he thought as he was still getting his cheeks pinched by Bunnie.
"I was only trolling. Just wanted to see how you was gonna react." he chuckles. "Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Say, did your old man make you dip in that gold goop that you always told me about?" Sonic asks as Knuckles and Chaos breakdances in the background. "I remember you telling me that's supposed to be the "final test" of your training."
"You're talking about the Source of All?" she rolls her eyes at him still mad at him for what he did.
"Yeah. Whatever that was called." he shrugs as Bunnie and Julie-Su were seen twerking in the background on Tails while his nose bleeds while Knuckles raps one of his songs.
"No... not yet. Since he's busy with work. But Elias went in years back. But of course him being the trollster he is, he always gives me a joke as an answer. And it has nothing to do with it as well. *Sighs* Hopefully soon daddy will allow me to." she thinks for a moment but quickly snaps out of it. "Anywho, I'm confident that with training that we can be a part of the team."
Sonic thought about it for a moment, then he snaps his fingers. "Ok. How about this? How about you and the others do some training? And you take that dip in the Source whatchamacallit, then we can talk."
Whatever randomness that was going on behind Sonic and Sally stopped as they both looked behind them.
"He's gotta point sugah." says Bunnie. "Ah dun think that we can keep up with sugah-hog and his friends." she places her hands on her hips. "Ah think that it'll be best if we take his advice and train first."
Sally shrugs. "I agree as well. I think that we should hold off on it. Not until we trained enough."
Bunnie gets pumped up. "That's what ah'm talkin' about Sally-gurl! Let's work our way up to it! We might not have any of dem powers like them over dere, but ah'm sure if we train we could make up for it in other ways!"
Sally looks at Sonic and gives him a nod. "Ok then. Once we get strong enough, we'll talk about the whole team thing."
Sonic winks. "Right on Sal!"
"Aww c'mon!" cried Knuckles. "I thought we was finna start up a new gang. I wanted it to be called the Mobotropolis Families." he crossed his arms and pouted. "Y'all suck!"
Sally taps her foot on the ground as she looks down as she places her hands on her hips. "So, do you recommend any training for us, Sonic?"
"Well..." Sonic taps his finger on his nose as he thinks. "There are still a few old badniks around and about everywhere. Even while we believed Eggman to be dead. The doc's ol' tech is still in use even without his operations. So I guess if I come across any badnik stronghold then I'll hit y'all up."
"Well then." Sally looks at the pouting echidna. "Looks like that's that. Sorry Knuckles, maybe next time we'll start up that new "gang" of yours.
"Eh. Ion care about that no mo' shawty." he waved his hand away dismissively. "I don't wanna talk about it."
Sonic dashes to Knuckles and taunts him. "Ha! You're mad over that? Crybaby!" he blows rasberries at the red echidna.
A huge vein pops up on Knuckles' forehead. "GRRRRRRR COME HERE YOU LITTLE-!" he chases Sonic around while the running hedgehog continues to taunt him while everyone laughs.
Later on they all were walking down the forest trail which leads back to the city. Sonic and Knuckles were all dirtied up since they were tussling and beating each other up.
"You better be glad I ain't clobbered you all the way. Cuz I ain't wanna wake up M-Dawg from his nap." he pulls out the Master Emerald from his rastacap.
"*Glows* I had a good sleep. Dang did that race from last night took all of my energy!"
"Yeah M-Dawg. That was a wild night." he puts him back under his rastacap and wrap his arm around Julie-Su. He then blasts the song "G Code" by Geto Boys on his phone and bops his head to the music and was rapped along with the lyrics. "WE DON'T TALK TO POLICE, WE DON'T MAKE A PEACE BOND! WE DON'T MAKE A PEACE BOND! WE DON'T TRUST IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, WE SHOOT GUNS!"
Knuckles is still rapping along nearby as Sally walks besides Tails. "Um... Miles?" she calls out to him.
"Yeah Sal?" he asks as he looks at her.
"I wanted to explain to you about last night. Y'see... I didn't technically snuck out on my own accord y'see. I actually slept walked."
"You what?!" he panicked.
"Don't worry! I'm fine." she reassured. "It's just that lately I've been having these dreams about this... monster made out of lava. Each time I have a dream about that thing, I always wake up in a different spot that's not on my bed."
"I think you need to go to the doctor for that. Maybe they could diagnose you for some meds."
"I know..." she looks away as she cracks an embarrassed smile. "But I did manage to sneak back into my room last night with no problem. Knuckles almost crashed into the fences, but luckily he didn't." she snickered. "So everything went smoothly."
"All I can say is at least you made it back safe and sound." his tails wags. "And about that monster. You said that it looked as if it was magma?"
"Mhmm." nodded the chipmunk. "It look like a lava version of Perfect Chaos. And it was saying things about how I am the same as it."
The kitsune rubs under his chin as he tries to figure out from what Sally is telling him. "Hmm... maybe you're psychic and you're communicating with that creature from the other side?"
"Geez I wish." she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes with followed with a head shake. "I don't have any abilities where I can read people's minds or levitate myself and other things."
This frightened Tails. Imagine if she had the power to read other minds. She could catch Tails imagining her in lingerie and other risque things. 'Thank goodness she doesn't have any of that.'
She smirks at him. "I bet that you're probably thinking of me in my bra and panties huh?" she side-eyes him suspicously.
Tails stops in his tracks with his face looking like a ripe red tomato. "WHAAAAAAT?!"
This got a laugh out of Sally since she got the exact reaction she wanted from him. "I'm just playing around with you."
A sigh of relief escaped Tails as he calmed himself down. 'That would've been scary if she did had powers like that...'
"So... you're ready for tomorrow?" she asks.
"Yeah. Eggman somehow is becoming our new principal at our school. Somehow he managed to just do that."
"Daddy is panicking about tomorrow but apparently him and mom have no choice but to let me keep going there. Something about Eggman threatening to invade the whole city like he did years back." she sighed.
"Man that's awful. My parents didn't get any threats from him. But they just told me to be careful and to see how it is, and if Eggman is up to his old tricks then we can kick his butt like old times." Tails shakes his head. "But yeah, I think that they're also unable to withdraw me as well."
"Quite odd how our parents are so powerless when it comes to Eggman who is about to run our school..."
"Yeah... Hopefully G.U.N. or somebody is keeping an eye on him just in case any of us are unable to stop him."
Sally has a worried look on her face. "It just doesn't feel real, y'know? It's like the pieces aren't together yet. As much as I hate to say it, but we probably have to find out by asking Eggman. Just to see what his plan is- aside from taking over the world of course, but you know what I'm talking about."
"Yeah. Hopefully Eggman won't try anything funny."
Bunnie walks up next to Tails and wraps her arm around his head, causing his head to squish against one of her breast. "And if he does, then we have your handsome self t'save us all. Ain't that right sugah?"
"Y-you can count on me..." said Tails as he smiled while a little bit of blood escaped his nose.
"Pfffft...!" Sally couldn't hold in her laughter at Tails' reaction to Bunnie teasing him. "*Laughs*" then she remembered something. "I almost forgot. Miles?"
"Tee-hee..." Tails' eyes are hearts as he enjoys Bunnie's breast on his head as he drools. He quickly snaps out of it and shakes his head when he heard Sally's voice. "Yeah?"
She feels embarrassment. "I just want to apologize for how I reacted when I saw you and Mina last night. I was being irrational. I've spoked to Mina a couple of times before and I can tell that she's a sweet and down-to-earth girl. I'm sorry about how I react."
Sally isn't the jealous type. Far from that. But when she saw Mina hugging on Tails and being so close to him, it made her feel some type of way. Perhaps she was on her monthly or maybe it's because of that "beast" that is dormant inside her.
"It's fine. We all get jealous from time to time. But don't worry, Mina is just a friend of mines." he winks at Sally.
"And ah'm ya number one fan, sugah!" the blonde rabbit hugs on Tails as she smothers him with her large assets.
-Later At Tails' Place-
Sonic and Tails were hanging out in Tails' room. Tails was getting things ready for school tomorrow while Sonic was sitting on Tails' bed playing with a bass guitar. He was playing the beginning hook to "Buggin' Out" by A Tribe Called Quest. "So lil bro. You're ready for tomorrow? We finally gonna see Eggman's ugly mug."
Tails was packing his books in his backpack. "Hopefully he won't try anything funny. I'm sure he's going to try and give us a hard time at school so it's best to be prepared."
"Too right. But nothing will stand in our way with my Super Sonic Speed and that big brain of yours, along with your new power from what I've been hearing about. Something about robots coming out of your head."
The robots coming out of Tails' head is something he really doesn't want to talk about too much. It's sort of traumatic when it's revealed to you that your head is a portal for interdimensional mechs that always causes havoc for you along with the scrutinizing pain you have to endure during the whole process. Especially with the odd shaped horns that occurs.
"Oh boy... Those are quite a doozy, heh heh. I don't know how to summon them. They just show up at random times and so far all the robots that came out of my forehead always causes trouble."
Sonic gets off of Tails' bed and walks up to him. He bends down as he still held the guitar with one hand and rubbed under his chin with the other. "Heh. Too bad I missed out on those so far. Would've been a blast to destroy them. When did it started to happen?"
"Right after Amy accidentally hit me in the forehead with her hammer."
The blue hedgehog stands up with a unamused look. "Oh. That explains just about everything. Everything bad happens once she's involved..." a sweat drop appears on the side of his head, anime style.
"Haha... yep. Amy sure does work wonders..." the nervous kitsune rubbed the back of his head. He now remembers something. "Hey, um. I overheard something about you mentioning Sally having a birthmark and she was embarrassed about it. What was that all about?"
"Well lil bro." he wraps his arm around his shoulder. "From what I know. Her birthmark is..." he whispers in his ear about Sally's birthmark.
Tails' eyes and mouth opens wide and his face instantly becomes red while Sonic laughs at his reaction.
"You're serious?!" he turned his head to Sonic while he still maintained the shocked expression on his face. "She has a birthmark right THERE?!"
"*Snickers*" Sonic shrugs at Tails as he holds in his laughter. "That's what she told me. I never saw it. I'm just going by what she told me."
-In Another Dimension...-
A dark place filled with despair filled with sounds of cracking flames appeared Iblis. Under a bed of lava with it's head hanging low with all four limbs chained and spread far apart with no chance to break free so easily. But now the chains might weaken...
Iblis' head slowly looks up to the camera as it's green eyes glow as it grins.
"السلاسل تضعف ... لذا يجب أن تتجدد قوتي."
Translation: ("The chains are weakening... so my strength must be renewing.")
It spoke in Arabic as dim flames starts to emit around it's body.
"إنها مسألة وقت قبل أن أطلق العنان لنيران الكارثة على هذا العالم..."
Translation: ("It's only a matter of time before I unleash the flames of disaster on this world.")
To be continued...
Author's Note 2: Hope y'all jawns enjoyed this episode. I tried to do something different by having Iblis speaking in Arabic. Low-key hope that translator translated well if any of y'all know Arabic lol. If y'all dawgs need any advice for writing Imma say this. Read hella books and take your time with writing. And always have a dictionary (book or app) with you. It helped me out so far and now I'm going to use it even more to write better sentences and dialogues.
Until then my dawgs, peace!
