The Heart's Reward

Chapter 6: Meet Dr. Robotnik

Written by: KingSnow5092

"What have I done?" Tailsko said to herself as she was flying away from her school. She flew for a very long time, she flew, and flew, and flew until she got tired and decided to rest in The Great Forest. The vixen then landed on the log and sat on it. Her face was red, she was sweating and panting until she finally caught her breath. Tailsko then looked up from the path where she ran away from and sighed. She sighed. She couldn't believe what she had done, she had beaten up another student even though he deserves it. It was still wrong for her to do it, she should have used brains instead of brawn. She began to cry in her hands.

Why was the world so cruel to her? Why does everyone hate her for having two tails? Why does two tails make her a freak? Why couldn't everyone just be kind to her instead of being mean? Why? Tailsko then sniffled a bit then she heard a voice.

"Is there something wrong young lady?"

Tailsko raised her head up and looked around to the voice and she turned to find a male Caucasian-American heavy-set human with glasses, goggles on his head, a pink nose, a brown moustache, a red jacket with yellow buttons, black pants, gloves, and black shoes named Dr. Robotnik. Tailsko looked at the man in surprise she was surprise that the human asked her what's wrong. She wondered who this man was. "Who are you?" Tailsko asked. "I'm Doctor Ivo Robotnik, the doctor and the scientist as well." Dr. Robotnik said. Tailsko smiled when he said that he was a doctor. "You're a doctor?" Tailsko asked. Robotnik nodded. "Yes I am!" He said.

"Cool! I'm a scientist too! I build machines and weapons and create great things too." Tailsko said. Dr. Robotnik grinned and said. "Say little fox girl, why don't you come with me and together we'll help build things to make the world a better place to be." Tailsko nodded. "Sure." The fox jumped off the log and followed the man. Dr. Robotnik grinned evilly. "That's right freak, follow me and you'll soon be my pawn for my scheme to take over Mobius!" Dr. Robotnik thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Knuckles are still looking for Tailsko they searched for a very long time until they found The Great Forest where Tailsko might be. The boys walked into The Great Forest. "Tailsko!" Sonic called out with his hands cuffed on his mouth. He waited for an answer but there was no reply. He called out again. "Tailsko!" But there was still no answer. Sonic continued to search for Tailsko down the path where she might have gone. Knuckles was searching for Tailsko in the trees in case she flew away so far, no good. Knuckles then noticed a shiny object in the distance. The echidna wondered what the object was. So he decided to get the closer look. The red echidna jumped down from the tree and hid behind another tree where the object might be. Knuckles looked from behind the tree and he gasped at the sight before him.

-You'll Never Find by Lous Rawls-

A female white bat with aqua eyes, blue eye-shadow, pink lipstick, peach muzzle/inner-fur, a heart-shaped bra, black pants, long gloves, bat wings, and white boots with heart shaped things on the end named Rouge, who was cleaning off the rock for some reason. Knuckles was awed by her beauty as she turned around and lashes her eyes in the air. Knuckles fainted but retain himself to look at Rouge. Then the bat spun around and grabbed a red emerald.

-The music skids to the halt-

Knuckles gasped and hid behind the tree. He knew what that was it was a Chaos Emerald! Chaos Emeralds were emeralds that contains energy and bring life to living things, and nuclear and power weapons. He was a guardian of the Master Emerald back at his home, the Master Emerald controls the other emeralds. Knuckles has to get that emerald before it's falls into the wrong hands. Rouge put the emerald on the rock and turned around for some reason. Knuckles reached out his hand to get the emerald but then Rouge grabbed the emerald too. Knuckles and Rouge looked at each other in surprise. Then Knuckles grabbed the emerald and stormed off with it. But before he could walk away he heard a whimper. The echidna turned to find it was Rouge whimpering. Knuckles felt guilty taking the emerald away from the girl. He didn't want to be like that purple bully Darkheart. So he walked back to Rouge who was crying in her hands.

Knuckles hesitated for a bit but then he held out the red Chaos Emerald to Rouge. Rouge turned and smiled at Knuckles' kindness and she grabbed the emerald but Knuckles wouldn't let go. Knuckles and Rouge grunted while playing tug of war to get the emerald they grunted and grunted until Knuckles knocked off Rouge off the cliff! Knuckles claimed his victory but then he gasped after he realized what he had done! The red echidna then jumped off the cliff to go after Rouge. Rouge was falling down the cliff with no safety net. Knuckles held out the emerald for him and Rouge to carry on to. Rouge grabbed the emerald and she stared at her savior. But then Rouge grabbed the emerald and winks at Knuckles and then she flew up to safety thanks to her bat wings. Knuckles growled. Then he looked down and screamed. "Oh crap!"

SPLASH!

Knuckles fell into the water unharmed he got out from the water and spat out some of it and looked at the readers. "I have the feeling I'm going to hate that bat!" Knuckles said to the readers.

-Dr. Robotnik's Fortress-

The fortress of Dr. Robotnik was a huge gray fortress with a Dr. Robotnik's red face print on it, there were some robots and ships outside, some traps in case of intruders, and two large black robots guarding the entrance. Dr. Robotnik and Tailsko walked to his fortress and were about to go to the entrance when the two robots stood in their way.

"Halt! Who goes there friend or foe?" One of the robots asked.

"It's me, you dunce buckets! Dr. Robotnik! Your master!" Dr. Robotnik shouted at the robot's stupidity.

"Oh sorry sir! I didn't recognized you with that two-tailed fox behind you!" The first robot said pointing to Tailsko.

"Don't worry about her, I have some plans with her." Dr. Robotnik said.

The two robots nodded knowing what their master was talking about, then they stood aside so they can walk in. "Enter Master!" The second robot said. The man and the fox entered his fortress. They went inside his living room which had red wallpaper, green carpet, a black couch, a brown table with some tools on it, and a fireplace with a lever on it for some reason. "Wow! This is a nice place you got here, Robotnik!" Tailsko said amazed by his room. "Thanks! I decorate it every month! Now, let me go you my lab." Robotnik said as he pulled the lever on the fireplace which moved away leading into Robotnik's lab.

Robotnik's lab was huge and gray with some white lights, with some tank robots standing guard, a huge machine with some panels and a glass in the middle of the machine, a large glass cell for trapping intruders, and control centers to control machines, and many other things helping Robotnik. "Wow, amazing lab! I love this lab!" Tailsko said. "Me too, why won't you stay for a while and help me out?" Robotnik asked. "Thanks, I..." Tailsko began but she remembered that she can't stay she has to get back home. "No, I can't I have to go back home my mom and dad would worried about me." Tailsko said. Dr. Robotnik growled at bit when she said that but then smiled.

"Oh dear, you're right you should get back to your mom and dad." Dr. Robotnik said. Then he picked up the vixen by the arms and carried her as he talked. "Here let me show you the way...OUT!" Dr. Robotnik then stopped in front of the cell and slammed her into the cell. "There this will be your new home where I can always find you when I need you!" Robotnik said. The fox jumped up and banged on the cell wall. "This is nuts! You can't do this to me!" Tailsko shouted. "Oh yes, I can I am Doctor Ivo Robotnik! The mad scientist bend on taking over Mobius!" Robotnik declared. "And I need you little fox because you are a great inventor you might help me invent things I need to take over Mobius!"

"You are the mad doctor! I won't help you Robuttnik!" Tailsko shouted at him.

"You'll help me or I will send my robots to take care of you!" Robotnik shouted.

Meanwhile, Sonic was running until he stopped in front of Dr. Robotnik's fortress. The hedgehog stopped to find some footprints, Sonic wondered who footprints they were. He recognized one of them were Tailsko's footprints but the other he didn't regonized. Then Sonic looked up to find the fortress, the hedgehog wondered if this is where Tailsko might be. There was only one way to find out. Sonic had to go in there and save Tailsko! The blue hedgehog sped across the trail of the fortress and speeding pass the two robots. The robots didn't see Sonic and were knocked over by Sonic, causing them to fall down and break apart!

Sonic then stopped in Robotnik's living room, he looked around to see where Tailsko might be then he heard voices. He regonized Tailsko's voice but didn't know who the other's was. Sonic looked down in the fireplace which was a secret passageway. Sonic walked down until he stopped and hid behind the wall entrance. He overheard someone talking to Tailsko about the Chaos Emeralds that and how they worked. Sonic gasped after he heard what they can do, then he heard the person speaking to Tailsko saying his name.

-Back to Tailsko and Robotnik-

"You won't win Dr. Robotnik, my best friend Sonic the Hedgehog will stop you just like he stopped my bully Darkheart the Eagle!" Tailsko shouted at the man. Robotnik only laughed "Well Sonic, won't be able to stop me if he doesn't know where you are!" Dr. Robotnik sneered.

"Here I am!" Said a familiar voice.

Robotnik and Tailsko turned to the doorway to find Sonic standing there with a confident look on his face. "Hello there, Robuttnik!" Sonic said. Robotnik gasped in surprise to find Sonic standing there. "I don't believe it! The blue hedgehog?" Robotnik said in shock then he laughed and said. "What are you going to do hedgehog? Prick me with your quills?" "Oo, don't tempt me!" Sonic said. Then the human grabbed the plasma gun and pointed it at Sonic. The hedgehog backed away from the human. "Well, you don't be able to prick me once I'm through with you!" Robotnik said.

"SONIC! LOOK OUT!" Tailsko screamed. Then Robotnik fired the gun but Sonic sped out of the way in time. "Huh?" Robotnik said in shock. Then he felt someone tapped his shoulder he turned to find Sonic standing there. "Hello." Sonic said, then punched the man in the face. Robotnik fell over in the thud, but got up and recovered from his attack. Then he got up and continued to shoot at the hedgehog. Sonic dodged every shot Robotnik made, he was too fast for the fat man. "Hey, hold still hedgehog!" Robotnik shouted. "I don't think so! Every shot you fire won't hurt me one bit!" Sonic sneered.

"Oh yeah?" Robotnik said then he fired his plasma gun again but it only clicked. The human stopped as he clicked his gun, it was out of bullets? Robotnik looked inside the plasma gun then...

POW!

Robotnik's face was gray from the plasma shot. Sonic and Tailsko laughed at Robotnik's misfortune. But Robotnik shook it off and then he got angry and pushed the red button calling in to his robot minions. "Decoe and Bocoe, get in here and take care of this blue hedgehog!" Robotnik shouted. "Yes sir!" Said the robots from the radio. Then two robots appeared. One was a tall male gold robot with pinkish red eyes, slim figure, gold body, extended arms and legs, and gold feet named Decoe and the other was a short male silver robot with blue eyes, stout figure, silver body, extended arms and legs, and silver feet named Bocoe. Robotnik's two robot minions. "We'll get that blue hedgehog!" Decoe shouted. "Yeah, we got that blue hedgehog for you!" Bocoe agreed.

"Try to catch me!" Sonic sneered then he sped across the two robots who spun around and got dizzy. Decoe and Bocoe chased after the hedgehog again but he sped passed them again and they got dizzy again. Until Decoe and Bocoe got tired and fell down dizzy from the hedgehog's speed. "It's no use sir! That hedgehog is too fast for us!" Bocoe said. Robotnik slapped his forehead in frustration and said. "Never mind! I'll get him myself!" Then he pushed another button releasing a couple of tank robots. Sonic looked and was surprised by the tank robots coming after him!

One tank robot walked over to the hedgehog and was about to fire but Sonic dodged the blasts and sped around the robot causing it to fall down and break to pieces on the floor. Another tank robot came up to catch the hedgehog but Sonic only slashed through it causing it to fall to pieces too! The third grabbed the hedgehog and the tank robot was about to smash the hedgehog when someone threw the monkey wrench at the robot causing it to fall over and smash to pieces too! The other tank robots saw this and ran away in fear. "Come back here and take care of this hedgehog!" Robotnik shouted at the robots but they were long gone. Sonic then spin dashed to Tailsko's cell and ripped the lock and opened the door.

"Sonic!" Tailsko cried.

"Tailsko!" Sonic cried back.

Sonic and Tailsko embraced each other. "Thanks Sonic." Tailsko said. "You're welcome." Sonic said.

"Aw how sweet! The sweet reunion between two friends now you two will both die!" Robotnik said pointing his new plasma gun at them.

"Sorry we got to go!" Tailsko said, then she grabbed Sonic and they flew out of the fortress. Robotnik growled and said. "Oh no you don't!" Then he ran as fast as he can to the secret passageway but before he can make it out the door slammed on his face and he slammed into the door, causing him to fall down the stair and get knocked out. "OW!" Robotnik exclaimed.

-Outside-

It was now twilight, Sonic and Tailsko landed in the Great Forest where they were before. They panted and sighed in relief they were out of the fortress of Dr. Robotnik but it wasn't over yet they still have to go back home to their parents. "Thanks for saving me Sonic." Tailsko said. "You're welcome Tailsko, but why did you run away? That was dangerous to do, sis." Sonic asked. Tailsko blushed in shame and said. "I was afraid that everyone will hate me for beating up that bully Darkheart and I used brawn over brains." Tailsko explained. Sonic sighed. "Tailsko, they're all over that now. Your parents were worried about you. Knuckles and I went out searching for you, we were worried about you, sis." Sonic said. Tailsko smiled. "You were?" Tailsko asked.

Sonic nodded. "Yes we were."

Tailsko hugged Sonic again, Sonic returned the hug. "Thanks Sonic, you are the true friend." Tailsko said.

"You're welcome Tailsko." Sonic said.

"Guys!" Said a voice.

They turned to find it was Knuckles he was soaking wet. "What happened to you, Knuckles?" Tailsko asked. "It's the long story but we should be getting back now our parents might be worried about us!" Knuckles said. Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles nodded and they ran back to the school where their parents were waiting for them.

-Green Hill Elementry School, In the Principal's Office-

"Oh Tailsko! We were so worried about you!" Rosemary said hugging and kissing her daughter. "Where were you, young lady?" Amadeus asked. Tailsko explained to her parents that she got captured by the man called Dr. Robotnik who was looking for the Chaos Emeralds and he tried to hurt her but Sonic came in and saved her. The parents smiled at Sonic's heroic rescue then they turned to the blushing Sonic and said. "Thanks Sonic, you are the true hero." Rosemary said. "Well, yeah, you know I am the most popular kid in school." Sonic said, blushing.

"That's my boy, who said that!" Said a tall male blue hedgehog with green eyes, a tuff of brown hair, spikes down his back, peach muzzle/inner-fur, red vest, gloves, and brown shoes named Jules, the father of Sonic. His wife was a tall female blue hedgehog with green eyes, a tuff of blonde hair, spikes down her back, peach muzzle/inner-fur, purple dress, gloves, and purple shoes her name was Bernie, Sonic's mother.

"Thanks for finding her Sonic." Amadeus said.

"No problem, I had a little help from Knuckles." Sonic said, pointing to the wet red echidna. Vanilla was washing him off with a blue towel and said. "Now, we can't have you catch the cold, can we?" Knuckles shook his head. "Now, now, take it easy, my quills might prick you." Knuckles warned her. "Don't worry, I'm very careful around my patients." She assured him and finished drying him off. "There now, don't you feel better." Vanilla asked. Knuckles nodded. "Yeah, thanks!"

"OK everyone, now that everything's back to normal! It's time for all of you to go home." Vector said to the parents and students. "Yes, it is getting late come along Sonic." Jules said to his son. "OK father, bye Tailsko!" Sonic said, waving at her. "Bye!" Tailsko said, waving at back him. The parents took both of their kids home and then Vector closed the door to get ready to go home himself.

-Dr. Robotnik's Fortress-

"That stupid hedgehog ruined my plans! Well, no matter I will find those Chaos Emeralds no matter what!" Robotnik shouted, as he was now fully awake. Then he stromed off to his bedroom to take a nap and plan on the next plan to get the emeralds. Little did he know, was that three shadows were listening into the conversation and watching the fight that has been going on earlier. The shadows were Darkheart and his goons. Darkheart, Slick, and Turbo made their escape while Vector called the parents to find Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles. Darkheart and his goons jumped out a window and ran off to where Tailsko might be. When they found her they hid behind the machine that Robotnik made himself, they were ready to attack Tailsko and rape her when they had a chance but Sonic got there first. Then Dr. Robotnik said something about the Chaos Emeralds. Darkheart, Slick, and Turbo semmed interested in the emeralds. Now, they were talking about it.

"Did you hear that? Chaos Emeralds! Just the thing we need to capture Tailsko!" Darkheart said to his goons.

"I know sparkling emeralds! Just the jewels we need to impress Tailsko!" Slick said.

"Yeah! Or better yet to bribe her with!" Turbo cheered.

Darkheart grabbed Slick and Turbo and bashed their heads together causing them to yelped in pain. "You idiots! If we get the Chaos Emeralds we will be rich and Tailsko might be under our control if we used the emeralds correctly or even more. Like using them to make us more powerful than that pesky blue hedgehog! Once, we get the emeralds we will use them for our purposes take Tailsko under our control and she'll be ours!" Darkheart said. Slick and Turbo cheered. Darkheart, Slick, and Turbo laughed evilly at their idea. Unknown to them, Rouge the Bat was watching them from above she smiled. "Not if I get to them first, you stupid birdy!" Rouge said quietly, then she flew away to find more emeralds.


A/N: End of Chapter 6. Chapter 7 will be soon! There you go Chapter seven is completed! Sonic has rescued Tailsko from the new villain named Dr. Robotnik who is looking for the Chaos Emeralds! And Knuckles has found the white bat named Rouge who is looking for the emeralds too, what will happen if they run into each other again? Uh oh! Now, Darkheart and his goons want the emeralds too for vain reasons! Not good! At least, Sonic and Tailsko are reunited and are with their parents now along with Knuckles! But what will happen next? Stay tuned and find out! Read and Review please! But no flames allowed! Thank you!

Fun Fact: The song "You'll Never Find" by Lou Rawls (who owns the song) and the scene where Knuckles and Rouge first meet is a parody from the scene Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs where Scrat first meets Scratte and they fight over the acorn. In this one, Knuckles and Rouge fight over the Chaos Emerald. I thought I would be funny if this was a side story! Oh and suspect, a Knuckles/Rouge pairing in this story, but they'll stay together in the end unlike the movie. This scene was inspired by that scene. I hope you like that part! The reason I called Dr. Eggman, Robotnik because I like that name better. I like Eggman's name but I like Robotnik better!

Oh and Thank you Starfreak for the suggestion/idea! Thank you again! Now R&R Please! But no flames allowed! Thank you once again!
