The Heart's Reward
Chapter 13: The Dark Vixen Strikes!
Written by: KingSnow5092
Summer time came to the town of Station Square and it was every kids' favorite season meaning that they didn't have to go to school except for summer school for some but most kids have no school at all in the summer time and they love to do things in the summer like play video games, watch movies and cartoons, spend time with family and friends, go swimming at the beach or the pool, and many more fun summer time play days! Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles loved spending time together in the summer doing fun things with each other as long as the weather was alright but there was going to be one summer that nobody will ever forget especially for Tailsko when she gets involved with Robotnik!
On the warm summer night three friends were having a sleepover at Tailsko's house while her parents were away at the party at the friends' house they trusted them to be home alone together but they set down the rules for them and to call them or 911 if things go wrong to which they were happy to agree with after that they were left home alone after that they were watching the movie on Tailsko's new large black wide-screen TV on the large brown TV stand with a shelf inside the stand which had a large white game console with a CD case and a power button on it, a white game controller connected to it, a collection of DVDs and video game stacked next to the console, and the white remote control for the console as well. She got the items from her uncle last Christmas and she was grateful for that.
The game console was called "Z-Box Two" which was an upgraded version of the "Z-Box 720" the one which Sonic has now Tailsko can play games and watch movies at her house instead of going over to Sonic's all the time but she will go to Sonic's house to play on his console sometimes. But she still loves her console.
Sonic and Tailsko were sitting on the bed together with a large bowl of popcorn in-between them, two trays on each side of the bed with a can of Pepsi on each tray, the remote on Tailsko's tray, Knuckles was lying on the floor with a pillow underneath his head, a small bowl of popcorn next to him, and a can of Pepsi as well with a soda can lid on top of it so it doesn't spill on the floor. They were enjoying the movie while eating their snacks, drinking their soda, and talking about the movie as well. The movie they were watching was called "Aero saves the Circus" it was about a red bat hero named Aero saving the circus from the villain before its too late! It was a very great movie!
"Man this movie is awesome especially how Aero is just like me!" Sonic said as he pointed to the screen before him.
"Yeah and how strong he is taking on those villains just like me, if I was in his shoes I would use my super strength to take down all the villains!" Knuckles said as he flexed his muscle and winked at him.
Tailsko rolled her eyes at the boys' ideas she'll never understand why some boys think that strength is the best way to fight crime when brains is more powerful than anything most of the time. "Well, unlike you boys I don't need strength to take on crime that's why I use my brains and gadgets to take care of my problems, except the time I beaten up Darkheart that is." Tailsko told them as she pointed to herself with her thumb. Knuckles chuckled a bit and said. "Well, that's alright for a girl like you but we men are much stronger than any women!"
Tailsko turned to the red echidna as she glared at him with an angry face and said. "Excuse me?"
Knuckles covered his mouth when he realized what he had just said.
"You think just because I'm a girl means that I can't defend myself!" Tailsko shouted at him.
"No, no, no, Tailsko! I didn't mean that!" Knuckles assured her as he waved his hands to her. Tailsko felt Sonic's hand on her shoulder she turned around to see Sonic looking at her with a concerned face and said. "He didn't mean that Tailsko you're a great fighter you can do anything."
Tailsko calmed down a bit and smiled at the blue hedgehog as she nodded to him. "But sometimes though brains and gadgets are no match for strength and speed." He then told her. Tailsko slapped Sonic's hand away from her shoulder, got up from her bed, and walked toward the window as she stood there with her arms crossed as she looked out the window. "I'll have you two know that I can take on Robotnik all by myself!" Tailsko shouted at them. Sonic was about to say something when they heard a loud whirring noise outside the house the boys looked around to see where the noise was coming from but they couldn't find the source. "Where is that noise coming from?" Sonic asked.
"It's Robotnik!" Tailsko shouted as she pointed to the window in front of her.
The boys ran up to the window where Tailsko was, looked outside, and saw that she was right! Robotnik and his robots were in the Egg Mobile flying down the road in the night to somewhere as the street lights lit up underneath them. "Where is Robotnik going?" Knuckles wondered. "Probably a Chaos emerald somewhere!" Sonic guessed as he looked at Knuckles. Then a loud beeping sound was heard the boys looked around to see where it was coming from. "What was that?" Sonic asked. Tailsko ran to her desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out the device which was a small square-shaped remote with a small TV screen on it. The boys ran up to her and Sonic asked. "What's that?"
"This is my new invention it's the device that will tell us where the Chaos emerald is!" Tailsko explained as she held up the device. "Whoa, that's amazing Tailsko! Now we'll know where the emerald is before Robotnik does!" Knuckles said. "Naturally the idea by a smart girl like me, Knucklehead!" Tailsko said playfully teasing him. Knuckles growled a bit but laughed knowing that Tailsko was just playfully teasing him. Tailsko looked at her device she then looked up to the boys and told them that the emerald is at "Small-Mart". "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Sonic said. But then Tailsko flew in front of the door with her arms spread across to stop the boys from running out the door. "What's the big idea?" Knuckles asked.
"Before we leave boys let's clean up my room, first!" Tailsko answered as she pointed to the messy room behind them the boys looked behind them and looked at Tailsko as they smiled sheepishly at her. Then the three kids started to clean up the room.
After they cleaned up her room, the three of them ran down the street as the street lamps lit up underneath them as they ran passed them then they eventually reached the Small-Mart which was a large gray building with a large blue sign with "Small-Mart" written on it in large white blocky letters and a large automatic door in front of the store and Robotnik's Egg-Mobile parked in front of the store. They knew that Robotnik was in the store alright and up to no good. "This is the place alright!" Sonic said as he pointed to the machine in front of them. "Good thing it's open 24 hours or otherwise we be breaking and entering!" Tailsko said. Sonic and his friends ran into the store to stop the villain from stealing the emerald.
Robotnik and his robots were at the jewelry department of the store which was large area with white walls, white floor, glass counters all over the area with some jewels in them, a rack of jewelry next to the counters, a small rack of jewelry on one of the counters, a front counter with a cash register and a small box of jewelry on top of it, and a door behind the front counter that leads to the backroom for the clerk to get more items from. They were talking to the clerk who was a female teenaged blue macaw standing behind the counter about the blue emerald they were looking for and wondering if she had it in her part of the store. "So, you're like looking for a blue emerald, right?" The macaw asked, her voice was Valley Girlish.
"Yes, I'm like looking for the blue emerald do you have it?" Robotnik answered in a mocking tone.
The macaw shook her head at the man's tone but she went into the backroom, came back out from the backroom, and shown a blue Chaos emerald in her hand to the human before her. Robotnik along with his robots' eyes widen and their jaws dropped to their chests at the shiny blue emerald before them. "That's it! That's the emerald I'm looking for!" Robotnik said, pointing to the emerald.
"It's beautiful!" Decoe said as he clasped his hands together.
"It's awesome!" Bocoe said with his hands clasped together as well.
"It's blue like Sonic!" Bokkun shouted as he raised his hands in the air.
Robotnik growled and turned to the black robot with an angry face to which Bokkun lowered his hands and grinned sheepishly at the doctor waving his fingers at him. Robotnik just huffed and turned back to the macaw with a friendly smile on his face. "I'll take that!" Robotnik said. He was about to reach out and grab the emerald when the blue macaw pulled her hand away from the man and said. "Like, hold on you need to pay for it first!"
"Oh right, how thoughtless of me!" Robotnik said in a mocking sincere tone. He then took out his black wallet with his face on it, opened his wallet, and reached into it to get some cash out of it. "How much do I have to pay you?" He asked her. "300 dollars." The macaw answered. "OK, that's seem reasonable let's see here's 20 dollars and here's the-" Robotnik began but as he was counting his money he soon realized what the bird had just told him he quickly looked up to the macaw with a shocked look on his face as he put his wallet back into his pocket. "300 DOLLARS!" Robotnik exclaimed. His eyes grew wide, his jaw dropped to his chest, and his moustache was twitching uncountably after a while he then leaned against the pole of the store to rest a while.
"Oh my, are you alright?" The macaw asked as she held her hand against her mouth.
"Robots! My heart pills!" Robotnik ordered as he held one finger in the air.
Decoe handed him his bottles of pills and Bocoe gave him a bottle of water to which he took from them, he swallowed his pills and water then after a while Robotnik stood up feeling much better now he handed the pills and bottles back to his robots and they stored them away in their department in their chests. "I'm alright now!" Robotnik said with a smile on his face. The macaw sighed in relief as she wiped her forehead with her wing.
Robotnik then growled at the macaw, he stomped toward her, and pointed his finger at her. "300 dollars for that emerald?" Robotnik asked angrily. "Sorry sir, it's store policy." The macaw said as she placed the emerald down on the counter and shrugged her shoulders in the air. Robotnik then pulled out a large green plasma gun with the words "Mean Ray Gun" written on it in light green letters. The macaw held her wings in the air and said. "Oh my, is this, like, a stick up?"
"No, but with this ray I can turn you into a friendly bird into an evil bird to give me the emerald!" Robotnik told her. He then pulled the trigger and out came a green ray zapping the macaw in a green glow then it disappeared making the macaw's face from the happy one into an angry one. "Now then gave me that damn emerald!" Robotnik ordered as he pointed to the emerald. "Like take it it's yours!" The macaw said as she threw the emerald to the man who caught it right into his hands. He grinned with delight as he gazed at the emerald in his hands. "Ha! Ha! Ha! I finally have one of the emeralds I've been looking for and now it's mine with no price!" Robotnik exclaimed as he held up the emerald in the air with both of his hands.
"That's what you think Egghead!" Sonic called out from behind them.
The four of them turned to find Sonic, Tailsko, and Knuckles standing there with heroic smiles on their faces and their hands on their hips like a superhero would. "It's Sonic and his friends!" Bokkun exclaimed as he pointed to them. "Well, don't just stand there get them!" Robotnik ordered, shaking his fist at them. The three robots charged toward the three heroes but they jumped over them and landed behind the robots which caused them to stop in their tracks and looked around to see where they went. "Hey! Behind you!" Sonic called out. Decoe turned around and was kicked in the head by Sonic's shoe that caused him to fly across the room, hit the wall, and fell down on the ground in the daze.
Knuckles grabbed Bocoe and Bokkun's heads from behind and bumped them together into each other then they dropped to the floor in the daze as Knuckles dusted his hands off with a job well done. Sonic walked toward the red echidna and said. "Nice job, Knux!"
"Thanks Sonic! You too!" Knuckles said.
The two fist-bumped each other then they looked around to realized that Tailsko wasn't with them anymore.
"Where's Tailsko?" Knuckles asked. Sonic shrugged his shoulders not knowing either.
Robotnik was sneaking his way out to the front door as he was Tailsko was flying toward him quietly then when she got close enough she quickly jumped onto his back, grabbed his moustache, and pulled it way back causing the man to tumble backwards and flailing his arms in the air. "Hey! Let go of my moustache you two-tailed freak!" Robotnik shouted. "No way! I'm not letting you get away with this Robotnik!" Tailsko shouted back. Sonic and Knuckles turned to see Tailsko trying to fight Robotnik on her own. "Tailsko! NO!" Sonic shouted to her as he held out his hand. As Robotnik was flailing his arms around he accidentally tossed the emerald into the air, it crashed through the window, and landed on the dump truck as it was driving down the road to the dumpyard.
Sonic, Tailsko, Knuckles, and Robotnik's jaws dropped when they had seen what had happened to the emerald. "MY EMERALD!" Robotnik exclaimed. He then grabbed the fox by her two tails, pulled her off of his back, held her under her armpits, and glared at her with an angry face. "Look what you made me do you stupid fox!" Robotnik shouted. Then the man threw the fox across the room, she slammed into the wall, and slumped down onto the floor. As this was happening, Robotnik's mean ray gun slipped out of his pocket, landed on the floor, and zapped a green ray at Tailsko which hit her causing her to be electrocuted then she fell down onto the floor knocked out cold.
Robotnik then ran out of the store, jumped into his Egg Mobile, started it up, and flew down the road after the dump truck forgetting about his robots back in the store. "Tailsko!" Sonic exclaimed. He and Knuckles ran toward the knocked out fox, Sonic knelt down on both of his knees, he then held Tailsko in his arms with his one hand underneath her head and another on her chest, he lifted her up close to him, and asked. "Tailsko? Are you okay, girl?"
Knuckles knelt down onto his knees as well and asked. "Is she alright?"
Sonic lowered his head to her chest he had heard a heartbeat and smiled knowing that his friend was still alive and well he then looked up to Knuckles with a smile on his face. "She's okay!" Sonic said. The red echidna smiled as well knowing that their friend was going to be alright. Then Sonic stood up with Tailsko in his arms as Knuckles stood up as well. "We better bring her home to take sure!" Knuckles told him. Sonic nodded in agreement then they ran out of the store as fast as possible. The three robots woke up from their daze and saw that nobody else was in the store except for the clerk that is. "Hey! Where did everybody go?" Decoe asked. Bocoe and Bokkun shrugged their shoulders not knowing either.
"Hey! Are you going to buy something or not?" The macaw shouted to them rudely. The robots turned to find the macaw glaring at them they had forgotten that Robotnik used his mean ray to make her gave him the emerald they saw the ray gun lying on the floor. Decoe grabbed the gun, pointed it to the clerk, zapped her, she was zapped with the ray, then after she got zapped, she shook her head, looked around, and saw the robots before her. She smiled at the robots as she waved to them. "Hello, like, what can I do for you gentleman." She said in a polite tone. The robots sighed in relief as they wiped their foreheads with their hands they didn't want anyone to suspect something wrong with the polite clerk after that they ran out of the store without another word.
The macaw was taken aback when she saw the robots ran out without even saying goodbye or answering her question. "Well, like, some people can be so rude!" The macaw said as she shook her head with one hand on her hip.
-At Tailsko's House-
Tailsko was lying on her bed with an ice pack on her bed as Sonic was sitting next to her on the bed with his hand on her face as Knuckles was standing next to the bed with his head hung low and his arms crossed the boys hoped that Tailsko would wake up soon. "This is all my fault I shouldn't have teased her about men being stronger than women." Knuckles said softly. Sonic turned to the red echidna and said. "Don't blame yourself, Knuckles, it was kinda my fault as well I should've done something to stop her she should've never token on Robotnik on her own."
Tailsko awoke as she sat up from her bed very quickly as the ice pack fell onto the side of her bed which caused Sonic and Knuckles to backed away from her in surprised but they were even more surprised on Tailsko looked now as her fur, eyes, and lips changed color! She was now a dark orange vixen with red eyes, dark gray muzzle/inner-fur, and has purple lipstick now! She was sitting on her bed with an angry look on her face as she turned to glare at the two boys staring at her. "What the hell are you boys looking at?" Tailsko asked in a deep female voice. (Her voice sounds like Vanessa from The Little Mermaid who was Ursula in disguise voiced by Jodi Benson but in the deeper tone!)
"Tailsko? Are you alright?" Sonic asked.
"Where is Robotnik?" Tailsko demanded.
Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other in shock and they looked at the vixen. "Calm down, Tailsko, he's long gone to the dumpyard somewhere to get that emerald." Knuckles answered her as he gestured her to calm down. "WHAT?!" Tailsko exclaimed. She then got out of her bed, stormed toward Sonic, grabbed him by the chest, and pulled him close to her face. "Why did you stop me? I almost had him I would've beaten him!" Tailsko shouted at him. "You almost would've gotten killed! You should've never token on Robotnik by yourself!" Sonic shouted back at her. The vixen pushed the hedgehog down to the floor as she began to storm out of the room. "He's out there somewhere and I'm going to kill him!" Tailsko shouted.
As she made her way to the door Knuckles stood in front of the door with his arms spread out and his legs spread out as well stopping the vixen in her tracks. "No way! You're not going anywhere you need to rest you took a beating!" Knuckles shouted at her. Tailsko nodded her head at the echidna. "You're right, I need to rest I'll just lay down on my bed to get some sleep." Tailsko said softly. She then walked back to her bed, got in, lied down on it, and closed her eyes. Sonic got up from the floor and smiled at the echidna. "Great job! Knux!" Sonic whispered. Knuckles smiled at the blue hedgehog and said. "Well, I can't take all the credit with the little help from my therapy sessions for my anger issues."
Sonic and Knuckles looked at the sleeping vixen and looked back at each other. "Let's let her sleep and call her parents just in case." Knuckles whispered to the blue hedgehog. Sonic nodded in agreement then the two of them walked out of the door and closed it behind them. After the boys had left Tailsko opened one eye and looked at the door once the coast was clear she opened her eyes, sat up from her bed, jumped out from her bed, and looked out the window at the night sky. "Robotnik is out there somewhere! Villains and bullies are just cowards I have to find the way to strike fear into their hearts but how?" Tailsko asked herself. She looked around until she spotted the DVD case of "Aero the Bat" when she saw the cover she had an idea about what she would do to stop criminals.
Meanwhile at the dumpyard, Robotnik was digging through mountains of trash for many hours looking for that blue Chaos emerald he lost during the struggle with Tailsko he was having no luck so far and wondered where his robots were. "Where is that damn emerald?" Robotnik shouted as he dug through mountains of garbage. He dug through until he felt something hard he grinned evilly thinking he had found the emerald he was looking for he then pulled it out but frowned when he saw that he had pulled out an empty cardboard container of the McDoodle's Half-Pounder Burger, he tossed it over his shoulders and continued to dig through the mountain. "What are you looking for boss?" Decoe asked from behind.
Robotnik was startled by the voice behind him causing him to slipped down the mountain and landed on his butt to the ground he looked to find Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun standing there with smiles on their faces. "Did you lose something, doctor?" Decoe asked again. Robotnik growled as he stood up in front of them as he glared down at them angrily which caused the robots to winced as they backed off. "I'm looking for the Chaos emerald that I lost during my struggle with that two-tailed freak!" Robotnik answered loudly. "You mean, Tailsko?" Bokkun asked. "Yes! Tailsko!" Robotnik answered. "Hey! She's not a freak she's a most beautiful girl in the world!" Bokkun shouted at him. Robotnik glared and growled at the little black robot as Bokkun shrank back as he waved at him.
"Now, come on! Help me look for the emerald!" Robotnik shouted to them.
"Yes sir!" They said in unison then they dug through the mountain of garbage with their master.
Meanwhile, Amadeus and Rosemary were in their car driving on their way home from the party, Amadeus was wearing a black tuxedo suit with a white tie around his neck and Rosemary was wearing a long cyan dress with pink eye-shadow and pink lipstick on her face, they were a bit tired from dancing all night at their friend's house. "That was the amazing party!" Rosemary said. "You said it, honey! It's kinda weird that we informed Tailsko that we're on our way home but she hasn't answered back yet." Amadeus said in a concerned tone. "She must be sleeping, dear." Rosemary assured him. Amadeus nodded to her, maybe she was right. But then they heard a cellphone ring it was Amadeus' cellphone he pulled over to the side to answer his phone as the other cars whizzed by them.
Amadeus pulled out his cellphone, pressed the button, and held it up to his ear. "Hello, Amadeus speaking, who is this?" He asked. He heard Sonic's voice answering after that he then smiled. "Oh hey, Sonic how are things going?" Amadeus asked. Sonic answered and explained everything that had happened earlier that night. Amadeus' eyes grew wide with shock. "WHAT?!" He exclaimed. Rosemary turned to her husband wondering what was going on. "OK, we're heading home now, thank you, goodbye!" Amadeus said. He then hung up the cellphone as he put it back into his pocket he then turned to his wife with a concerned face. "What's wrong?" Rosemary asked. He explained to her what the hedgehog had told him which made her gasped in shock as she covered her mouth. They quickly drove to their house.
At Tailsko's house, Sonic and Knuckles were pacing back and forth in the living room waiting for Tailsko's parents to arrive then the door swung wide open as Amadeus and Rosemary came into the living room quick as lighting still having worried faces on them. "Where's Melissa?" Rosemary asked. "We came as fast as we could, is she alright?" Amadeus asked. "She's okay just up in her bedroom getting some rest." Sonic assured them as he gestured them to calm down. The parents sighed in relief but then they heard a window smashing coming from upstairs, they ran upstairs, opened the door, and saw that the room was empty! The four of them looked out the window to see Tailsko dressed in the all black outfit but since it was dark out it was hard to tell what kind of outfit she had on but they could see her tails!
"Where is she going?" Amadeus wondered.
Sonic and Knuckles turned to each other and muttered. "Uh-oh!"
Amadeus turned to the boys with an angry face and asked. "What do you mean uh-oh?"
The boys explained to him about how Tailsko wanted to kill Robotnik after she been zapped by the green ray gun made by him after that Amadeus and Rosemary gasped in horror as they covered their mouths. "She could get killed!" Rosemary said. Rosemary hugged her husband and began to cry as Amadeus hugged her back as he rubbed her back to soothe her and calm her down. "There, there, dear, it's going to be alright we'll call the police and get her back!" Amadeus said softly. "In the meantime, we'll go after her to make sure she doesn't get hurt." Sonic told them. "Good luck, boys, and stay safe." The father told them. Sonic and Knuckles nodded to him and they ran out of the house to chase after Tailsko.
At the same time, Tailsko was running down the sidewalk looking for Robotnik so she can kill him after running for a while she stopped in front of the alleyway she quickly walked toward it and rested on the wall of the alleyway. She was wearing a black bat-shaped head mask over her head with eye holes inside of it covering her upper face, a gray shirt and pants, a long black cape around her back and neck, a belt with many weapons on it, a buckle in front of it with Tailsko's face on it but with red eyes, and black boots on her feet. She looks just like Batman but a female animal version of him she got the costume idea from Aero the Acrobat movie, she decided to be tough like him, get rid of the criminals, and won't rest until Robotnik is dead!
Tailsko was about to leave the alley when she had heard a voice from behind her. "Well, boys look who we have here?"
She turned around to find three male teenagers wearing biker uniforms with lustful eyes and smiles on their faces they were a male red-orange lion, a male white tiger, and a male purple falcon, they were biker bullies love to rape girls for their own fun and they had just found one. "Hey sugar, do you want some cream in your coffee?" The lion asked her as he winked at her. Tailsko grimaced in disgust and anger at the lion's remark. "Get lost, creep!" Tailsko shouted. The bikers laughed at her then they glared at her. "Don't be so uptight, sweetheart! We just want to have some fun!" The tiger said, waving his hand at her. The falcon nodded his head in agreement and said. "Hey, let's have some fun!"
The three of them began to advance toward the vixen with evil smiles on their faces but before they could do anything Tailsko grabbed a smoke bomb out from her belt, tossed it on the ground, and the smoke came out from the bomb surrounding the bikers making them cough and wheeze from the smoke as this was happening Tailsko pulled out the rope from her belt, tied it into a lasso, swung the lasso, threw it at the tiger and the falcon, pulled it tight around them, lifted them up in the air, and tied it around the pole hanging the goons above the air like a pinata! After the smoke had cleared, the lion saw his goons hanging above him the lion was confused by this. Then without warning, Tailsko swiftly kicked the lion in the midsection making him fell down to his knees and held his midsection in pain.
Tailsko then grabbed the lion by his chest as she pulled him close to her face. "Now listen! You stop raping girls for fun and get a real job or I have to get really tough and don't bother me anymore you got that!" Tailsko shouted at him. The lion nodded his head meekly with a fearful look on his face. "Good! Have you seen a heavy-set man chasing after the dump truck around here?" Tailsko then asked. The lion nodded to her and pointed down to the direction to the right of her she looked down at the direction and turned back to the lion. "Thank you!" Tailsko said. She then threw the lion toward the wall and he slammed into the wall knocking him out cold. She then jumped into the air, twirled her tails, and flew down the road looking for Robotnik.
At the same time, Sonic and Knuckles arrived on the scene to see the lion lying on the ground in the daze and his goons hanging up in the air they wondered how this happened then the lion woke up, turned to the two boys before him, and screamed backing away from the boys pleading for them not to hurt him. "What happened?" Knuckles asked. The lion explained to them about what happened earlier when he was finished the boys glared at them with angry and disgust looks on their faces. "Serves you right after what you tried to do to her!" Sonic said. Knuckles nodded in agreement. "These guys need a big time out!" Knuckles said. Sonic winked at him and said. "Leave that to me!"
Sonic dashed toward the gang, grabbed all of them, dashed down the police station, threw them in the cell, and raced back to Knuckles smiling at him. "Well, that should hold those creeps for a long time." He said, dusting his hands off. "Good, now we have to go find Tailsko!" Knuckles said. Sonic nodded in agreement. Then the two of them ran down the road looking for Tailsko.
Meanwhile, Robotnik and his robots were still digging around the mountains of garbage in search of the emerald but they didn't have any luck so far. "Did you dumb bots found anything yet?" Robotnik called out to them. Decoe and Bocoe shook their heads and continued to dig through the dumpyard. "Hey! I found something!" Bokkun called out. The trio looked up to the little black robot. "Is it an emerald we're looking for?" Robotnik asked. "No, but I found a bottle of Sprite!" Bokkun said as he held out a green bottle. He looked at it and looked back up to his boss. "Hey, I bet if we find all of these bottles and return them to the store we could be billionaires!" Bokkun said.
Robotnik smiled at the little black robot as he clasped his hands together. "Oh sure, while we're at it why don't we go to the food bank and give all our food from this dump?" Robotnik said sarcastically. The black robot smiled at him. "Really?" He asked. Robotnik glared at the robot, threw a can at him, hit him, and he tumbled backwards downhill the garbage mountain. "You dumb bot! Keep searching for that emerald!" Robotnik shouted at him. "Yes sir!" Bokkun said then they continued digging through the mountains of trash for that emerald.
Meanwhile, Tailsko was still flying through the air looking for Robotnik she then saw three animals surrounding a female elderly human with a purse in her hands as the three animals tried to mug her she slowly flew toward them and saw that they were all male a dark gray bear, a lavender monkey, and a dark orange fennec fox it was the same kids who tried to touch her on the merry-go-round at the playground on the day she met Sonic! "Alright lady, hand over that purse!" The monkey shouted at her. "You respect your elders, young man!" The lady barked at him. Then the bear came up from behind and grabbed the old lady in his arms as the fennec fox snatched the purse away from her. "You should learn to respect our leader, you old bat!" The fennec fox shouted at her.
The fennec fox handed the lady's purse to him, he grabbed it away from him, opened her purse, and began to look around inside of it for any money or other goodies. Tailsko growled in anger she needed to stop those bullies right now she then flew toward them as she grabbed a laser gun from her belt and zapped her gun at the bullies. The bear and the fennec fox began to dance around as she zapped her rays at them the bear quickly dropped the old lady as they tried to run away from the vixen but Tailsko grabbed the two bullies and slammed their heads together causing them to fall down to the ground in the daze. The monkey looked up to see his friends lying down in the daze he growled in anger as he was about to go to them but Tailsko landed in front of him with a scary angry look on her face.
He dropped the purse as he legs began to buckle and looked up at the vixen in fear she then grabbed the monkey but his chest and pulled him close to her face. "You give back that purse to that woman right now and apologize or otherwise I'll make it hell for you!" She threatened him. The monkey nodded his head at her, she then dropped him, he quickly grabbed the purse and handed it back to the old lady who took it from him. "I'm sorry, miss." The monkey apologized. "I forgive you, deary, but be more respectful to your elders next time!" The lady told him. He nodded to her then the vixen grabbed the monkey and threw him across the street he then hit the pole and fell down the ground in the daze as well.
Tailsko walked up to the woman and helped her up. "Are you alright, miss?" Tailsko asked her. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you so much for helping me young lady it's so nice to see that some youth still have respect for their elders." The lady said. "You're welcome, miss, now if you excuse me I must get going!" Tailsko said. She then flew down the street into the night to find Robotnik as the lady waved goodbye to her then Sonic and Knuckles ran up to the lady and stopped in front of her. "Oh, hello boys! How can I help you?" The lady asked them. "Have you seen a two-tailed vixen go by around here?" Sonic asked. The lady nodded as she pointed down the direction where the vixen went. "Thanks!" Knuckles said. Then the two boys ran down the street looking for Tailsko.
"My, my, some kids are just in the rush now a days!" The lady said as she chuckled to herself and shook her head. Then the lady took out her cellphone to call the police about what had happened earlier soon after that the police arrived, arrested the bullies, and took the lady back to their own home safe and sound.
Back at the dumpyard, Robotnik and his goons were still digging around the trash looking for that emerald but they still haven't had any luck so far. "Have any of you dumb bots found anything yet?" He asked his robot goons. Decoe and Bocoe shook their heads at their master and went back to digging. "Hey! I found something!" Bokkun called out. Robotnik, Decoe, and Bocoe looked up and smiled at him. "The emerald?" Robotnik asked hopefully. "Nope! A bottle of Fanta Grape soda!" Bokkun answered as he held up an empty bottle of orange soda. The man face-palmed in anger and shouted at him. "You dumb bot! Keep looking for that emerald!"
Bokkun nodded he then threw away the soda bottle and continued to dig through.
Meanwhile, Tailsko was still flying through the air looking for Robotnik but she still hadn't found him yet she looked and looked until she spotted three figures nearby she smiled this must be Robotnik and his goons! She quickly ducked behind the bush and peeked her head out to find that it was actually Darkheart and his goons! They were hanging around the fence of some house while they were drinking cans of beer and dumping them in the backyard of the house while laughing the night away!
Darkheart was leaning on the fence as he drank down the can of beer after he was finished he let out a loud belch and laughed to himself along with Slick and Turbo. "Ah, nothing like a late night drinking beer with my good buddies!" Darkheart said as he held up a can of beer. "You said it!" Slick said as he held up a can as well. "Here! Here!" Turbo agreed, holding up the can too. The three of them slurped down their beers and belched very loudly as they laughed about it. Then the three of them threw their cans over the fence and into the backyard of the house. Tailsko grimaced in disgust it was bad enough that they were drinking beer until underaged but polluting the backyard of some house? That was going too far! She needed to do something and fast!
She had an idea she quickly flew over the boys, pulled out a smoke bomb, and dropped it down on the sidewalk as smoke began to rise from it engulfing them into the cloud of smoke causing them to cough and wheeze as this was happening she pulled out the rope from her belt, wrapped the rope around them, and tighten it good and tight as the smoke cleared. The trio was now tied up together in the bind they turned to find Tailsko standing there with a smile on her face. "Is that Tailsko?" Slick asked. "What are you doing in that outfit, freak?" Turbo asked as well. "It's not Halloween yet!" Darkheart agreed as he laughed. "No, but you'll be howling in pain after I'm through with you three!" Tailsko shouted at them.
She then grabbed them, picked them up, flew them toward a rotatory clothes line, and hanged them on one of the lines. "Hey! What's the big idea! We're the ones who's suppose to do this to you!" Darkheart shouted. Tailsko slapped Darkheart across the face making the eagle shocked by what she just did along with his friends who had shocked looks on their faces. She then flew toward the side of the house as she grabbed a long blue carpet beater, flew back to the bullies, tied it around the branch of the tree near the washing line, and she pushed the washing line as it turned around with the boys on it as the beater spanked the boys on the washing line. "OW! OW! OW!" Darkheart, Slick, and Turbo exclaimed in unison.
"That's what you boys get for being bullies!" Tailsko shouted at them. She then stopped washing line with her hands and got into Darkheart's face and asked. "Have you seen Robotnik and his goons around here? I'm looking for them."
"We saw him chasing after the dump truck to the dumpyard for some reason." Slick answered.
Tailsko grinned with delight she had finally found out where Robotnik was and now it was payback time for all the horrible things he had done to her and her friends! "Thanks for the tip, now have a grand spanking time!" She told them. She then spun the washline again as the boys got spanked by the beater again she picked up the cans and threw them away into the recyclable bin she then flew off down the road to find Robotnk and kill him! At the same time, Sonic and Knuckles arrived on the spot and saw the bullies getting spanked by the beater as they were spun around on the washing line they looked at each other and laughed at the bullies' punishment. "Well, looks like Darkheart and his goons are finally the butts of the jokes!" Knuckles joked. "You said it!" Sonic agreed.
"Cut the jokes and get us down from here!" Darkheart shouted at them. Sonic and Knuckles looked at the bullies as they shook their heads at them. "No way! This is what you get for being bullies!" Sonic shouted back at them. "Yeah! Whoever did this to you must've had enough of your bullying ways!" Knuckles said, nodding his head in agreement. "Your two-tailed friend did this to us!" Darkheart told them. Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other and laughed even harder. "Oh man, you got beaten by a girl! Serves you right!" Sonic said between laughs. "Go ahead and laugh, hedgehog! But you won't be laughing after Robotnik is done with her!" Darkheart said with a smirk on his face.
Sonic and Knuckles stopped laughing and turned to the bullies in shock after what the eagle had just told them. "What are you talking about?" Sonic asked the bird. Darkheart explained to them about what Tailsko had told them earlier and when he was finished the good boys looked at each other as they gasped in horror. "Oh my God! We better go after her before someone gets hurt!" Knuckles exclaimed. And with that they took off down the road and into the night to go after their friend. "Aw, they left without even saying goodbye!" Turbo said. "Aw, shut up!" Darkheart barked at him. Then they boys continued to cry in pain as the beater spanked them again.
Back at the dumpyard, the villains were still digging through the garbage mountain looking for that emerald then they had heard Bokkun's voice from far away. "Hey! I found it! I found the emerald!" He called out to them. Robotnik and his goons looked at each other as they shook their heads thinking that he had found some junk that looked like an emerald so they got up, walked down the mountain carefully, and walked to the area where Bokkun was but was shocked to see that...Bokkun was actually holding a blue Chaos emerald in his hands! The area he was in was the place where the workers placed the garbage with the crane, dropped it into the crusher, and crushed the garbage to make into small squares or something like that.
It was a large vacant area with brown muddy dirt on the ground, some mountains of garbage surrounding the area, a large yellow electronic crane with a magnet on top of it, and a large black and yellow crusher with glass windows outside of the machine, two large crushing slabs inside of the machine, and a panel with a red "OFF" button and a green "ON" button on it. Bokkun was standing in the middle of the area while holding up the emerald in his hand and his other hand on his hip with a proud smile on his face. "I don't believe it! You actually found the emerald and you didn't goof up for once!" Robotnik said in delight.
Robotnik ran toward the little black robot, picked him up, and placed him on the back of his head while he held on to his legs like a parent would to a child when they want to see something higher but can't because they were small. Robotnik was spinning around the area gleefully as Bokkun giggled in delight he felt like he made his creator proud of him and had done something right! Decoe and Bocoe were holding hands while dancing and spinning around in delight they found one of the emeralds without any problems. After a while, they eventually calmed down then he placed Bokkun down on the ground and grabbed the emerald from him. Robotnik held the emerald close to his face as he grinned with delight.
"I've finally got the emerald without any interference with Sonic and his friends!" Robotnik said gleefully but then they heard a voice coming from behind them. "That's what you think Robuttnik!" Tailsko called out to them. They turned to find Tailsko in her Dark Vixen outfit with an angry face and her hands on her hips. They were surprised to see Tailsko dressed like that and even more surprised to see her with red eyes when they were usually blue. "Is that Tailsko?" Decoe asked as he pointed to her. "That's right, it's me Tailsko or now known as The Dark Vixen!" Tailsko answered as she raised her finger in the air. The man just laughed at her and said. "Do you really think a costumer is going to scare us like that?"
"YES!" Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun exclaimed in unison, then they ran into a mountain of garbage and hid inside of it.
"COWARDS!" Robotnik shouted at them as he shook his fist at them as well.
"Hand over that emerald before I hurt you!" Tailsko commanded, pointing to the emerald.
"Hm, let me think..." Robotnik said as he pretended to think he then looked at Tailsko and shouted. "NO!"
"OK! You asked for it!" Tailsko said, she then held out her arm, pressed a button, a grappling hook came out and snatched the emerald away from the evil man then the hook came back as Tailsko grabbed the emerald from it, and placed it in her shirt where her chest was. Robotnik was taken aback by the sight before him she had never seen Tailsko like that before she was usually a meek and timid type but now she was a strong and fierce type! At the same time, Sonic and Knuckles arrived at the dumpyard as they saw Tailsko standing before Robotnik with Tailsko being angry and Robotnik being scared. "How can this be? You're supposed to be a meek type not a fierce type!" Robotnik exclaimed as he placed his hands on his face.
"We know how, doctor!" Decoe called out.
Robotnik turned to the gold robot and asked. "How?"
"With this!" Decoe said as he held out the green ray gun and threw it at the doctor who caught it in his hands he then looked at the gun and now knew why the vixen was acting like the way she is. "Of course, my mean ray gun that can turn nice people into mean people! I used it to make that macaw clerk hand me that emerald for free but apparently during my struggle with Tailsko it must've fell out of my pockets, zapped her, and turned her into the vixen before me right now!" Robotnik explained. Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other in shock now knowing the reason Tailsko is acting like the way she is right now it all made sense now.
"But however, there's a tiny bug in my gun that can make nice people into crazy people instead like Tailsko in front of me, I had forgotten about the bug before now! I really need to check out my bugs in my machines before I built them! However, another zap of my gun will turn mean people into nice people again." Robotnik explained some more as he looked at his gun in anger. "No wonder Tailsko's acting all crazy!" Sonic whispered to the red echidna. "I'll say we better grab that and bring her back to normal before something else goes wrong!" Knuckles whispered back. But before they could do anything they saw Tailsko advancing toward the man with a boomerang in her hand and the man looked up and screamed in terror as he saw the vixen running toward him!
He quickly ran away from her as the vixen flew up into the air and chased after him they ran around the crusher for a while until Robotnik eventually got tired she saw this as her chance to get him she then threw the boomerang at him, it smacked Robotnik behind his head, the man wobbled forward and backwards, and he fell down to the ground in the dazed. Tailsko ran to the crane, started it up, and lowered the magnet toward the man below her, since Robotnik was wearing a belt around him the magnet managed to picked up the man, and now he was stuck on the crane. She then got out of the crane, turned on the crusher, and the crusher began to smashed it's slabs back and forth into each other.
Robotnik woke up to find himself dangling over the crusher he gulped in fear and began to struggle his way out from the magnet's grip but to no avail. "This is the end Robotnik! Now you'll be a scrambled Egg Head!" Tailsko exclaimed as she laughed evilly. Sonic, Knuckles, Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun all gasped in horror when they saw what Tailsko was going to do with the human! "Tailsko! NO!" Sonic called out to her. "I'll try to stop her while you grab the gun!" The echidna told the hedgehog. Sonic nodded he then dashed off to get the gun as Knuckles ran toward the vixen. "Now, it's time to crack this Eggman!" Tailsko said as she laughed evilly. She slowly lowered her finger to the button that will drop Robotnik but then Knuckles grabbed her from behind and held her tightly pulling her away from the panel.
"Let me go, Knucklehead!" Tailsko demanded.
"No way! I'm not letting you make a big mistake!" Knuckles shouted back at her.
Sonic quickly grabbed the gun and ran up to the fox and the echidna. "I got the gun, Knuckles!" He called out to him. Knuckles nodded as he let go of the vixen he quickly ran up next to Sonic as the hedgehog aimed the gun at the vixen, fired it, and zapped the vixen as she was bathed in the green glow after that she fell down to the ground knocked out. Sonic dropped the gun and ran up to the vixen to see if she was alright as Knuckles ran up to the crane, moved the doctor near to the ground, and pressed a button dropping the doctor harmlessly to the ground. Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun ran up to the crusher, Decoe turned off the crusher, and ran up to their doctor to see if he was alright.
"Are you okay, doctor?" Decoe asked, placing his hand on his shoulder. "I'm alright, but let's get out of here before something else happens!" Robotnik answered as he stood up from the ground. "But what about the emerald?" Bokkun asked. "Never mind! Let's get out of here before Tailsko attacks us!" Robotnik shouted at him. The robots nodded, knowing that Tailsko might attack them at any moment. The four of them ran out of the dumpyard, jumped into the Egg Mobile, Robotnik started it up, and they flew down the road back to their fortress.
Sonic was on his knees while holding Tailsko in his arms with one hand underneath her head and another on her chest to check her heart Knuckles soon ran up after and knelt down on his knees as well to see if his friend was alive. "Tailsko? Are you alright?" Sonic asked as he shook her gently. Tailsko's fur changed back to her orange color, her eyes were back to her blue color, and her lips were back to their red color. Sonic and Knuckles were amazed by what just happened before them as their friend's color changed back to its original colors. Then Tailsko opened her eyes and looked at the boys with a smile on her face. "Hello boys, I'm back to my old self!" Tailsko said.
Sonic and Knuckles smiled at each other knowing that their friend was back to her original self then Sonic helped Tailsko up to her feet along with Knuckles as they dusted themselves off. "It's great to have you back Tailsko!" Sonic said cheerfully. "It's great to be back, Sonic!" Tailsko said. After that, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tailsko hugged each other in a group hug with smiles on their faces after a while they eventually let go of each other and smiled at each other. "I don't need this costume anymore!" Tailsko said, as she took off her costume and threw it away into the mountain of garbage. She scratched herself all over her furred-covered body feeling relieved that the costume was off of her now. She then hung her head down in shame and said. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused I wanted you boys to think of me as strong like you boys."
Sonic and Knuckles walked over to her and put their hands on her shoulder with smiles on their faces she looked up to them with a confused look on her face. "We forgive you, Tailsko. It's not entirely your fault." Sonic assured her. "That's right it was the ray gun that zapped you that effected you as well to go crazy and it was kinda my fault as well. I"m sorry I teased you earlier." Knuckles told her. Tailsko smiled as she patted him on the back. "That's alright Knuckles, it was a simple mistake." Tailsko assured him. "I'm sorry too Tailsko for what I said earlier." Sonic apologized as well. "I forgive you boys and thank you for helping me out." Tailsko told them. "You're welcome! That's what friends are for!" Sonic said.
"One thing for sure, I don't need brawn to take care of my problems I will use my brains to solve problems from now on and I will only use brawn if it's needed." Tailsko said as she closed her eyes and raised her finger in the air. "That's the Tailsko I know!" Sonic said. Then the trio hugged each other into a group hug for a while then they released each other and walked back to Tailsko's house.
Meanwhile, Amadeus and Rosemary were sitting on the couch waiting for the kids to come back home then they heard the front door opened with the kids coming inside the parents quickly got up, ran to their child, picked her up, and hugged her close to them as Tailsko returned the hug. "Oh Melissa, where have you been?" Amadeus asked. "Are you alright, dear?" Rosemary asked. The three of them released each other from the hug as Tailsko explained to her parents what had happened earlier after she was finished with her story they hugged each other again. "Thank you boys for bringing Melissa home safe you two really are true friends." Rosemary said. Sonic and Knuckles blushed as they rubbed their hands together in modesty.
"It was nothing really, Mrs. Prower." Sonic said.
"We're just happy to help." Knuckles said.
Later that night...
After the happy reunion everyone got ready for bed the parents were already fast asleep and the kids were in Tailsko's bedroom as Tailsko was in her bathroom getting ready for bed the boys were in their own sleeping bags in her room next to each other while talking about what had happened earlier today. "Boy, after the adventure we've been through I'm ready to go to sleep!" Sonic said in his blue sleeping bag. "Me too, Tailsko sure scared Robotnik tonight!" Knuckles said in his red sleeping bag. "I'll say he made Batman look sane in comparison." Sonic agreed. "The best part is that we got the blue emerald before Robontik did!" Knuckles said. "It was nice of that macaw clerk to give it to us for free after we save her shop." Sonic said.
"It was also nice of Tailsko letting me have the emerald and put it in my backpack to take home with me for tomorrow I'm just glad it's finally over." Knuckles said as he patting his green backpack next to him with the emerald inside of it. "You said it!" Sonic said as he winked at him. Then they heard a loud noise coming from Tailsko's bedroom they turned to the slightly opened door and heard Tailsko's voice saying. "Robotic! I have to find Robotic!"
"Oh no! Not again!" Knuckles exclaimed as he face-palmed in frustration.
Inside the bathroom, Tailsko was digging around her cabinet looking for something frantically then Sonic and Knuckles grabbed her behind and pulled her back from the cabinet. "No way, Tailsko! We're not letting you go after Robotnik again!" Sonic told her. Tailsko pushed the boys away from her and looked at them in confusion. "What are you talking about I'm looking for my electrical toothbrush named Robotic I really need to brush my teeth!" Tailsko told them as she shook her head at the boys with her hands on her hips. Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other and looked back at Tailsko as they waved sheepishly at her and ran out of the bathroom without another word.
"For as long as I live I'll never understand boys!" She said to herself as she shook her head. After that, she went back to her cabinet and searched for her toothbrush she had just lost.

Fun Fact #1: Aero the Acrobat is the character from another game series that is silimiar to Sonic but is a bat instead of the hedgehog I thought it would be a nice cameo from the game character to which I don't own but I do own this story!
Fun Fact #2: This chapter was inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (1989) episode named "The Night of the Dark Turtle" where Dontello gets zapped by the generator and becomes like Batman to get revenge on Shredder! I thought it would be a cool idea to make Tailsko do that!
