By "The Allies" I don't mean Great Britain, France, and Russia. Nor do I mean the much hated group of story reporters around ff dot net. I mean the new alliance going on in my fiction.
Chapter 34- The Allies
Tails came out of her room and went down the stairs slowly. Sonic was sitting on the couch reading something.
Sonic looked up at Tails, "What's wrong pal?" he asked.
"Liz just told me about the fox army. I can't believe they'd go and do that and leave me open for attacks!" Tails said angrily.
"Well you can always get a delusional Chris to protect you." Sonic said, "Say, why do they want to kill you anyway?"
Tails paused and glanced around the room to make sure they were alone then went and sat next to Sonic, "You have to promise not to tell anyone, okay?" she said.
Sonic raised his brow but nodded. "The head cashier… his name is Kaute." Tails explained, "I knew him at his last job."
"Why does he want to kill you though?"
"Because I know their only weakness!" Tails said.
"Tell me!" Sonic said excitedly.
Tails leaned over and began whispering into his ear. Sonic's eyes became wide, "Are you kidding?" Sonic asked when Tails had stopped, "Do they really care that much?"
"You'd be surprised." Tails mumbled, "I have to go see if I can get an intervention somewhere…" Tails stood up and was about to leave when she looked back, "What is that you're reading?"
Sonic tried to hide the papers but not before Tails saw the title, "YOU'RE READING LIZ'S SCRIPTS?" she demanded.
Sonic stood up, "I have to know how she's going to kill me so I can avoid it! I can't wait any longer without knowing!" he argued.
"If she finds you reading that then you won't have to wait to find out!" Tails warned.
"I'll take my chances!" Sonic said sitting back on the couch.
"I'll pray for you." Tails said rolling her eyes. Then she headed out the door.
Later at a café downtown…
Tails walked into the cyber café and glanced around at all the foxes asleep on the tables and chairs. She walked in and looked at the girl behind the counter, "Is there a red fox here named Akeii?" she asked.
"There's only one red fox here who isn't drunk so I guess you'll want to try him first." She said pointing over to a corner.
Tails looked over and saw Akeii sitting there banging his head violently against the wall, "Though I think he's having a bad trip or something…" the girl said. Then she picked up her newspaper again.
Tails groaned and went over to Akeii, "Akeii! Stop that!" she said.
Akeii looked up at Tails, "Who the hell are you?" he demanded. A computer nearby beeped, "STOP THAT NOISE!" he screamed clapping his hands over his ears.
"It's me, Tails! Sega messed up my graphics." Tails replied quietly, feeling her cheeks flush.
Akeii stood up and glared at Tails, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT! If you hadn't brought my army to this time then they wouldn't have gotten drunk off coffee!" he shouted.
"But it doesn't make any sense: coffee has caffeine is a stimulant, not a depressant!" Tails argued, "Something's not right here!"
She glanced around the café and then her eyes became wide as she looked in the back at the only occupied table where three people were sitting and sipping coffee.
"Kaute!" she mumbled angrily.
The cashier was sitting between Dr. Eggman and the Science Teacher. "I'll be right back." Tails said to Akeii. Then she crept over to a nearby table trying to listen in.
"-wasn't what I expected to happen but I guess it worked out anyway." Eggman said.
"What Egghead is trying to say is we've created this alliance to take down the Sonic Gang. And that girl they're living with is in the way so she has to go." Kaute said.
"Interesting proposal." Science Teacher said stirring her coffee, "But why are you two trying to kill the Sonic Gang?"
"Sonic is the only one standing in my way of world domination." Eggman said.
"Tails is a threat that must be eliminated." Kaute said.
"Why did Kaute contact you? What do you have against them?" Eggman asked.
"I want to dissect Shadow." Science Teacher said.
"Why?" Eggman asked.
"I'm a Harvard graduate being faced by a genetically altered life form! How can I resist?"
Tails leaned back a little trying to listen but her chair creaked noisily. Kaute glanced over his shoulder at her and raised an eyebrow. Tails smiled sheepishly hoping he wouldn't recognize her. Luckily he decided to ignore her and turned back to his conversation.
"Well we've already eliminated one line of defense. Tails' fox army is out of order." Kaute said with a laugh.
"Oh is that what all these guys are about?" Science Teacher asked gesturing to the drunken foxes around the café.
"Yes. My friend behind the register there has been slipping alcohol into their coffee. She'll make sure they don't go anywhere for awhile." He replied.
Tails glanced at the girl behind the register. Of course! Another cashier. Most of them must've been in collaboration with Kaute. 'I'll have to start using those self-checkouts.' she thought.
Then Tails felt the hair on her neck stand up as she heard: "TAILS! Make this stupid computer shutup!"
Tails glared over at Akeii who was trying to smash a computer that was beeping at him. Then she looked behind her and saw the trio at the table staring at her.
Then Kaute stood up and pulled out his katana. Tails squealed and sprinted for the door.
"STOP HIM!" Kaute screamed, "... eh… her…"
The girl behind the register jumped over the counter and tried to grab her but Tails jumped over her and dashed out of the shop.
Kaute growled angrily and threw his sword into the wall, "He heard everything!" he shouted angrily.
"She." Eggman pointed out.
"Whatever! Now Tails is going to tell all of his friends about the three of us working together!" Science Teacher screamed.
"He won't get the chance!" Kaute said angrily. He pulled out a cell phone and dialed his cashier friends.
Eggman turned to Science Teacher while Kaute was calling on his posse, "So, are you in?" he asked.
"Of course." She said with an evil smile, "How could I pass up such a great opportunity to learn?"
"Welcome to our alliance!" Eggman said shaking her hand.
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUTUP? I'M ON THE BLOODY PHONE!"
