Tails sighs. He was tired of being just a sidekick. He wished he could recieve more praise like Sonic did. He sits on his bed and looks both ways. "Today's the day" he thought and he slid open the closet door to reveal a blue jersey with 3 F's on it. A bit flashy but it was what Tails needed. He puts on the jersey and tights and cuts a blue mask out of construction paper.
"I am now... the Fierce Fighting Fox... no longer will I be known as only a sidekick, I will be known as a mangy sidekick!" he says valiantly.
Later
"Ok... well I've been sitting here in this stupid costume for a couple hours and no emergencies have happened, it probably wouldve been smarter to wait for the alarm before I put on the tights... but if I take them off now, they'll be hard to get on later... oh well" he says.
Tails takes the tights off and stuffs them in the closet. Then goes to get something to eat, when... the alarm goes off
"Oh... DAMN IT!" he shouts.
Finally Tails leaves the house and heads to the point of the distress signal, in the middle of the city. When he arrives in Station Square, he sees Sonic there already. "Darn" Tails thinks "How did he beat me here? No matter. I MUST find the source of this problem... whoa!" Tails looks up to see smoke billowing out of a building. "I have to do something" Tails thinks "Before Sonic does". Tails sees Sonic dart off towards the fire and he narrows his eyes. Not this time, he thinks. As much as he doesn't want Sonic to fail, part of him kind of does and he ends squirting a super strong bonding agent to prevent Sonic from running. With Sonic disabled, it was Tails' turn to save the day, he takes a leap and stretches out his cape, trying to fly but fails. He soon sighs and flies the standard way (with his 2 tails). He dashes into the building but sees noone inside, just an eerie red glow coming from the center of the pyre. He presses a button on his wrist to shoot off an extinguishing agent upon the flames. However when the smoke clears all he sees is a red cannonlike device bearing the Dr. Eggman logo, a voice emits from a speaker. The voice says "SUCKER" and shoots a small ray at Tails. The ray hits him and he feels paralyzed for a few seconds, then the cannon explodes and Tails is knocked to the ground. He puts out the rest of the fire before it spreads and sighs with relief. People on the streets see this new superhero step out from the building and cheer. Tails then flies off until he is no longer visible and stashes away his costume in a rain gutter, or at least he thought he was invisible.
"TAILS? That was you???" a voice suddenly asks.
"AH! Amy! Um,... what was me?" Tails asks nervously.
"Don't play dumb Tails, I know you're that masked superhero" she says.
"Okay, so it's true... but please don't tell anyone!" he begs.
"Don't worry I won't... on one condition..." she says with a grin.
"And what's that???"
Amy whispers something into Tails ear.
"What? C'mon! You want to be MY sidekick?"
"Yes! If Sonic sees I can take orders and be brave and stuff then maybe he'll want me to be his new sidekick!!!" she says gleefully.
"Well hold on Amy, Im still Sonic's sidekick too, sometimes, but I just wanted a little more glory is all, without people knowing it's me... and I don't have a costume for you Amy, plus..."
"PLEASE..."
"Oh crap, someone's coming, quick in here!" Tails says pointing to the rain gutter.
"In a rain gutter?"
"Just trust me, step inside!" he tells her.
"I don't think I'll fit..." she replies.
"Do you want to be my side kick or not?" he asks.
"Oh fine"
Amy puts one foot into the rain gutter and is sucked in by some kind of vacuum. She screams as she falls into a strange lair made of chrome. Tails soon falls in too.
"Amy, you... eh..." Tails begins.
"What? EEEEK!"
Amy looks in the mirror to see she's wearing nothing but a bra and panties. She runs behind a computer console to hide herself.
"Sorry Amy, the vacuum must have torn your clothes off, I never knew that cuz I don't wear clothes!" he explains.
"Could you just get me something else to wear?" she asks embarassedly.
"Fine, fine, hold on..." he tells her.
Tails goes up a flight of stairs and dissapears, he comes back with a Tshirt and jeans which he throws to Amy.
"Don't worry, I'll try to get that vacu-tube fixed" he says reassuringly.
"Well what is this place anyway?" she asks.
"THIS is the Fox Burrow!" he says.
" Ooookay, you obviously have a lot of free time!"
Amy comes out from behind the console, now fully changed.
"Well, I've been planning all this for quite a while... and NOW I hope to pull it off" he explains.
"Pull what off?" she asks.
"Be better than Sonic. Just for awhile" he tells her.
"Well I still want to be your sidekick, pleeeeease?"
"Oh ok, I guess... we can work SOMETHING out!"
The next day
"And in other news," A Tv newscaster announces, "a large firebreathing robot of death is attacking the park!"
"This looks like a job for the Fierce Fighting Fox..." Tails shouts out.
"And uh... The Incredible Fighting... Girl!" Amy screams.
"We'll have to work on the name!"
"AND my costume... it has a hole in it..." Amy complains.
"ARGH, just wear a facemask or something..." he tells her.
"I think I can fix it, just go to the park and start fighting"
"Ok..."
At the park
"I am... THE PYROCRUSHER!" The large robotic behemoth growled.
This large robotic creation spews fire on the natural ecosystem and the trees soon go up in smoke. Sonic zips onto the scene first.
"Hmm... don't know where Tails is but Ive gotta stomp out this fire now!" he says.
"You will stomp nothing!" the Pyrocrusher snarls.
The robot closes Sonic in, stuck between a robot and a mound of flaming trees. Suddenly a large burst of water douses Sonic, the robot and the fire. The robot sparks and falls to the ground and Tails swings onto the scene with a grappling hook, slamming into a tree.
"Ow." says Tails.
"And who are YOU supposed to be?" Sonic snickers.
"I am..." he begins, lowering his voice "...I am... The FIRECE FIGHTING FOX! I'll take it from here!"
"Um ok... that's pretty lame" Sonic replies with a chuckle.
"Hey I'm not lame, I'm a high caliber hero, I even have a sidekick! I SAID... I even have a sidekick... hold on a minute" he groans.
Tails goes behind a tree.
"Amy! That's your cue!" he whispers.
Amy stumbles out in a pink costume that's torn where the shoulder is, there's a letter G on the costume but it's crooked and her face mask covers one eye.
"Is that Amy?" Sonic asks.
"No I'm not Amy, I'm... the Super Sexy Savior!" she says.
"Uh... we're still working on her name..." Tails adds.
"Look, crimefighting is more than funky tights you guys, I mean it's fine to act like that fooling around but you can't just think youre some kind of self proclaimed hero just because you wear stupid outfits!" Sonic tells them.
"WAIT! So you're saying we're not serious heroes???!!! That's it! Let's go, Super Sexy... whatever you said before!" Tails says.
The next night
"So... Sonic thinks of us as a couple of rinky dink heroes huh? Well Amy... Amy? What are you doing?" he asks.
"I'm thinking of names... now... what do you think of the Amazing Acrobatic Hedgegirl? Or how about the Pink Wonder? Or Hammer Girl? Or..." Amy continues.
"Look Amy... the NAME is not important... right now... we need to outdo Sonic on our next mission... let's see what the news says!" Tails replies.
Tails flips on the news to see an unusual braodcast... it was... him! A glowing figure resembling him was torching down the city. Needless to say the Fierce Fighting Fox and... um... his sidekick... get right on it without delay!
"You think we could have something to eat first?" she asks.
"ARGH! We'll stop on the way, okay?"
In Station Square
"Well then... this didn't work out how I had planned HOWEVER..." Eggman begins.
"Stop this madness RIGHT now, Dr. Eggman!" Sonic shouts.
"Ah, if it isn't Sonic the hedgehog! " Eggman replies with an evil smile.
Suddenly Tails and Amy stumble onto the scene, literally.
"Hey you 2, what's up?" Sonic asks.
" Um... fear not, uh... hedgehog, we will put an end to this evil!" Tails says in his hero voice.
"Yeah... sure..."
Sonic jumps towards the odd looking antagonist who slaps him down with a single tail.
"TAILS?"
This was weird. The glowing figure did resemble Tails... but it obviously couldn't have been...
"When I set that trap the other day... I had planted a ray that would create an evil copy of YOU Sonic, one that harnessed your negative emotions towards others... however the fox here stepped into the trap instead and I've now created the Nega-Fox!" Eggman says laughing.
"Ha Eggman! The joke's on you! I don't have any negative emotions" Tails says, giving away his secret identidy.
"I wouldn't say that, TAILS!" he snaps back.
"What? But... how did you know?" Tails asks.
"I'm a scientific genius, I think I can recognize you through that silly face mask..." he replies.
"Hey it's not silly!" Tails says defensively.
"Although that hot pink hedgegirl near you... can't tell who that is!" Eggman says.
"Uh... thats obviously Amy..." Sonic tells him
"Yeah... ew... you think I'm hot?" Amy asks.
"Uh...um... uh... ATTACK THEM ALL NEGA-TAILS!" Eggman shouts.
"Destroy..." the Nega Tails says.
"I don't understand... how can this be a clone... of me? I don't have evil emotions like this a lot..." Tails says.
"Ah but your jealousy towards Sonic is what formed this being, that jealousy, now shall consume you!" Eggman laughs.
The Nega Tails fires a ray that sweeps the area knocking Sonic and Amy down. Tails now realizes it's up to him. He cannot afford to make any mistakes now or the results would be deadly. And thus... he runs. He runs towards the Nega Tails and literally faces his emotions headon, smashing into it and firing a ray gun that dissipates the holographic figure. Eggman flees.
"You 2 okay?" Tails asks.
"Yeah... but you didn't have to be jealous of me..." Sonic tells him.
"I know..."
"So you wanna go home?" Sonic asks.
"Sure, I know a faster way to get there too, quick into this rain gutter"
"Sure, Amy you go first" Sonic tells her.
"Um no... no... thanks" Amy replies embarassedly.
"Oh c'mon dont be afraid" Sonic says.
Sonic pushes her in. She screams in fear and lands at the bottom. Sonic looks down the tube at her, and cringes.
"Eh..."
"Hey what's that supposed to mean? Don't you find my body sexy?" she screams.
"Maybe we should take the long way..." Tails suggests.
"I'm for that!" Sonic replies.
"This should be it..." Rouge sighed, exhausted as she stumbled into the chemical plant.
Rouge had been assigned to go to the Chemical Plant to shut down a chemical reactor that had fallen into the hands of their enemy, Dr. Eggman.
"Here we go" Rouge said, having found the reactor. She typed in the key code to shut it off but heard a loud whirring instead. Just then there was a terrible laugh.
"HA HA HA HA!" Dr. Eggman laughed "Nice try but you have to wake up PRETTY early in the morning to stop Dr. Eggman!"
"Well I woke up at 5 AM..." Rouge said, defensively.
"Not like... ARGH! Its an expression!" Eggman shouted "Anyway, youre finished now, Rouge... once the reactor blows, all the city will be destroyed..."
"WHAT?" Rouge screamed "Ive gotta stop it!"
"HA HA HA HA!" Eggman laughed again.
"But if all that gets destroyed..." Rouge said "Wont YOU be destroyed too?"
"Well no cuz.. I... oh crud..." Eggman said.
Just then all the doors around Rouge sealed and some chemicals from the plant spilled in.
"These locked doors should contain the reaction..." Eggman sighed with relief "Have a nice death!"
"Argh, Ive gotta do something!" Rouge said, looking over canisters of chemicals "Wait, I could use this super strength chemical to help me..."
Rouge put her hands into the chemical and absorbed its power as it coursed through her body.
"SO...MUCH POWER!!!" she screamed as she busted the doors open but would she be too late?
BOOOM!!!!
The next morning
"SONIC! SONIC!" Tails shouted "Did you read the newspaper?"
"No, why?" Sonic asked, casually munching on some cereal.
"Its Rouge.. shes...dead..."
"What? Thats impossible!" Sonic said.
"Its true" Tails said "Just read the paper!"
"Rouge the bat was last seen entering the Station Square chemical plant late last night. There was a huge explosion just moments later... Rouges remains have yet to be found but many presume her corpse was dissolved by acid..." Sonic read. "Ew..dissolved by acid.. thats gross..."
"So, what should we do?" Tails asked.
"What CAN we do?" Sonic shrugged "Shes gone now..."
Hours later the gang gathered in the park where they had made a makeshift grave for Rouge the bat out of paper mache.
"Is this REALLY the best we could do?" Sonic sighed.
"Well on such short notice..." Knuckles shrugged.
"And so..." Sonic sighed "We are here today to salute a great person...known as Rouge the bat..."
"She was a..." Tails began "A,... well, she was pretty cool, right?"
"Actually she never gave back those shoes I lent her..." Amy said.
"AMY!" Sonic shouted "We're here to pay our last respects, and besides Rouge wont need those shoes where she's gone..."
"Ooh, so I can take them back?" Amy asked.
"ANYWAY..." Sonic growled "Rouge was a great friend and..."
"Actually she still owes me 50 bucks..." Shadow sighed "And she tricked me that one time into going to Ericka's stark naked..."
"But Shadow..." Amy said "Youre ALWAYS naked... all the boys in the Sonic verse are..."
"Heh..." Shadow chuckled "You have NO idea..."
"You guys!" Knuckles yelled "This is SUPPOSED to be a memorial"
"What?" Shadow asked "We ARE remembering, and frankly its getting me kinda ticked off!"
"We're supposed to remember GOOD times..." Sonic sighed.
"Well... there WAS that one time where Rouge.. no wait, THAT wasn't good..." Amy sighed, recalling events from episode 18: Prank Day.
"Well, how about that time she gained an outrageous amount of weight?" Shadow asked, chuckling while thinking of episode 28: Rouge Gains "That was HILARIOUS!"
"Shadow..." Amy sighed "You werent even IN that episode..."
"And wasn't that just a dream sequence type of deal anyway?" Tails asked.
"Ok, its obvious..." Sonic sighed "That NONE of us can think of any good times with Rouge... so uh.. let's just leave, I guess..."
"Ok, you wanna get coffee?" Knuckles asked.
"Alright lets go" they all replied.
Just then there was an odd rustling in some bushes but Knuckles was the only one to hear it. He turned around to see an odd glowing. He strayed from the group and looked behind the bushes when a glowing green hand swiped him.
"Rouge..." Knuckles gasped "But you're..."
"DEAD?" she growled in a low voice "I dont think so..."
"But... what happened to you?" he asked, referring to the fact that the young girl was glowing green and her hands had been turned green completely.
"Its amazing..." Rouge said "How much POWER I now have..."
"Well thats good..." Knuckles said.
"POWER I CAN USE TO DESTROY YOU ALL!!!" she then screamed, shaking the ground with her thunderous voice.
"Uh.. well... thats not so good..." Knuckles said "See, we're the good guys, remember...? We help people and..."
"Not anymore!" Rouge grinned as she zapped Knuckles with a ray of mind controlling power. The young echidna's eyes flashed green and Rouge was pleased. "Come my minion, I must gain MORE power! To the chemical plant!!"
The next day...
"In latest news, there's been a break in at the chemical plant, can ANYBODY save us?" the newscaster asked.
Sonic was still in bed and sleeping, unable to hear the newscast.
"I SAID, Can anyone help us?" the newscaster shouted.
Still, Sonic slept.
"WAKE UP, SONIC!! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR THIS!!"
"Just 5 more minutes..." he groaned.
Later...
"Alright guys" Sonic said, inviting Shadow and Amy along with Cream and Tails "We're gonna need to stop this break in at the chem plant!"
"Has anyone seen Knuckles?" Cream asked.
"Not sure where he is" Sonic replied "But for now, we must strike! Amy, Shadow, come with me!"
"What about us?" Cream and Tails asked.
"Sorry guys, this is too dangerous" Sonic said.
"But Sonic..." Tails moaned.
"NO! But you can stay here and keep track of us on radar" Sonic said "That way if we need your help, you can come"
Tails sighed after Sonic left. Even after having showed Sonic he could be a hero, Sonic rarely let him go out on missions.
"So what do we do now?" Cream asked.
"Dont know..." Tails sighed "Guess we should just wait... and follow the story on the news..."
Meanwhile...
"Amy!" Sonic said, as they got closer "We need you to bust down the gate with your hammer... Shadow can use chaos control to warp inside and sneak up on whoever is up to this trouble..."
"Right!" Shadow said, whipping out a chaos emerald and vanishing inside.
Amy leapt forward and smashed the door open with her piko piko hammer, waving Sonic inside after her.
"The fools..." Rouge growled, sucking some chemicals out of their canisters with her bare hands. "They stand NO chance... now that I have acquired the powers of these chemicals..."
"Stop right there!" Shadow said "...Rouge? Hey, whats up? Thought you were dead... anyway, about that 50 bucks..."
ZAP!
"Ouch" Shadow said, getting up off the ground after being blasted "Sorry... I guess you can pay it later..."
"DONT YOU GET IT?" Rouge growled "Im EVIL now!"
"Evil? But why?" Shadow asked.
"Not like anyone cared about me when I was GOOD!" she said "Even my FUNERAL was lame... and now I'll make all of you pay!"
Just then Knuckles swooped down and pinned Shadow to the ground, his entire body glowing green like Rouge's.
"And now that I have the power of these chemicals, I can do almost ANYTHING!" Rouge growled "So.. how about I turn you into a mouse?"
Rouge raised her hands up and almost blasted Shadow when Amy and Sonic busted through and threw her back into the wall.
"WHO DARES ATTACK ME?!" Rouge growled, letting some radioactive blasts escape her fingertips. Sonic and Amy ducked back and Sonic knocked Knuckles off Shadow.
"Knuckles... Rouge..." Sonic said "What are you 2 DOING?"
"I..do...whatever...Rouge...says..." Knuckles said in a monotone voice.
"Theres a good minion..." Rouge said "As for YOU, Sonic..."
Rouge's fingertips began glowing and she fired off a chemical blast that hit Sonic and shrunk him down.
"SONIC!" Amy shrieked, picking her small hero off the floor "Are you alright?"
"Ive been better... AHH!" Sonic screamed as he was swooped up by another beam. Rouge captured Sonic inside a small orb on her belt and chuckled, having sealed the small hedgehog away.
"ANYONE ELSE WANT A PIECE OF ME?!" Rouge growled, her entire body sparking.
"What should we do NOW?" Amy asked.
"Maybe that backup could come in handy..." Shadow replied.
Meanwhile...
"And in the news..." the newscaster announced "Rouge the bat has now become evil and is surprisingly still alive.. shes been super charged with radioactive powers and has SHRUNK Sonic the hedgehog!"
"WHAT?" Tails asked, watching live footage from the battle scene "Ive gotta do something, but if Rouge knows who I am she'll shrink ME too... unless.. shes DOESNT know who I am..."
Tails opened his closet to reveal the secret entrance to his headquarters, the FOX BURROW! He stepped inside and got sucked underground.
"Oh Taaails" Cream said "I made cookies... Tails? Tails??"
"I know I promised Sonic I wouldnt" Tails sighed as he strapped on his mask "But the Fierce Fighting Fox is the ONLY one who can help now..."
"Dont forget me!" Amy said cheerfully, appearing from nowhere.
"AMY!" Tails said, surprised as he was putting on his tights "How did you get in here?"
"You left the front door unlocked" Amy replied casually "Oh and I let Shadow in too"
"What?" Tails screamed "WHY? This is supposed to be a SECRET!"
"Oh cmon Tails" Amy said "EVERYONE knows youre really the masked crime fighting super hero, the Fierce Fighting Fox"
"REALLY?" Shadow replied excitedly "I had NO IDEA!"
Tails growled at Amy for giving his identidy away and put his cape on
"Well it doesnt matter anyway" Tails said "I dont have a costume for either of you, so neither of you can be my side kicks... what... the heck?"
Tails looked back to see Shadow had already changed into a dark sinister looking BatMan costume.
"I am... the Dark Shadow!" Shadow replied, thrusting his cape out in front of him.
"Well...alright" Tails sighed "But Amy.. you..."
Just then Amy came out wearing a revealing CatWoman like outfit. Shadow and Tails screamed.
"AHH! It burns!" they screamed.
Amy growled at them.
"Oh, I mean... it looks...good" Tails gulped "Now what's YOUR superhero name?"
"You know, Im still not sure..." Amy replied "But Ive made some more ideas since our last fight, now I was thinking something like "The Amazing Amy" or "The Rogue Rose..." or..."
"LETS JUST GO!" Tails sighed, mumbling under his breath "Second rate heroes..."
"I heard that!" Amy said.
And so, the sinister Rouge the bat attacked the city, armed with her awesome super powers and the shrunken Sonic who dwelled within her belt.
"Comfortable?" she asked Sonic.
"Not really..." he groaned.
"Good. Now for some fun!!" she chuckled, zapping various places throughout the city when the police came suddenly.
"Step back, Ms. Rouge!" the officer warned "I have you surrounded"
Rouge chuckled.
"Ha ha ha!" she said "You wouldnt dare shoot me, as long as I hold the world's hero, Sonic the hedgehog"
"Err..." the officer groaned "Hold your fire..."
"STOP RIGHT NOW, ROUGE!!" Tails said.
"Yes!" Sonic said "Tails is here, Im saved!"
"It is not Tails..." the young fox in tights proclaimed "It is I... the fierce fighting fox!!"
"Im screwed..." Sonic groaned.
"FOOL!" Rouge shouted "You dare to challenge me?"
Rouge zapped at Tails who flew away from her blasts and smashed into her from behind.
"THATS IT!" she shrieked, defying logic and yanking a lamp post out of the ground. "Eat steel!"
Rouge swung at Tails and missed, striking a fire hydrant that sprayed her with a burst of water.
"Allow me to finish her off!" Amy said, running forward in her cat woman outfit.
"AHH!" Sonic screamed "It burns!"
"Amy, what are you doing?" Tails asked, "Ive got her right where I want..."
ZAP!
Tails was blasted off to the side and Rouge stood and faced Amy who she shot at many times. Amy jumped high into the air and avoided the blasts, then came down and slammed Rouge's stomach with her hammer, jarring Sonic loose. She scooped up Sonic and held him closely as more lasers came her way.
"Amy, look out!" Sonic yelled, as more lasers skimmed his quills.
"Ill hold her off," Shadow said, leaping forward towards his foe. "You guys get out of here!"
Rouge growled, now without Sonic to hold hostage, the police began to bear their weapons.
"I CAN TAKE ALL OF YOU ON!!" Rouge screamed "Attack, Knuckles!"
Knuckles swooped down and smacked Shadow. Rouge then floated by them, surrounded in a protective bubble and made the policemen's guns explode. She then caught sight of Tails, Amy and Sonic making their getaway.
"I DONT THINK SO!!" she growled, zapping Amy and holding her back.
"SONIC! SHADOW! TAILS!!" she screamed, caught in a bubble of energy that had paralyzed her "I cant... move..."
"Hold on Amy!" Tails said, handing Sonic over to Shadow now "Ill save you"
But unfortunately Amy vanished before he could do anything. Tails went back to Rouge now.
"What did you do to her?" Tails asked.
"She's safe..." Rouge said "...for now, but if you ever want to see her again, you must surrender to me... and give me 1 million dollars!"
"I..I cant do that!" Tails said.
"All I know is... if you dont meet me at the Station Square bridge tonight at 9 with the money and promise to surrender to my evil... AMY ROSE WILL DIE!!" Rouge said.
She then put her hands in front of her face and vanished in a flash.
"Weve gotta do something" Tails said.
"How about getting me to normal first?" Sonic suggested.
"Ok, lets go back to the fox burrow..." Tails sighed.
Back at the burrow
"Thanks for restoring me to normal" Sonic said "But Ill take it from here..."
"Are you kidding?" Tails asked "ALL of us have to do this..."
"Tails, look..." Sonic sighed "The whole city is in danger here... and I mean, its fun to put on tights and all but I mean, this is serious..."
"So am I..." Tails said, putting his mask on again "And Im going with you..."
"Me too..." Shadow said, still wearing his costume.
"Aw alright..." Sonic sighed "But I ain't wearing no tights!"
On the Station Square Bridge
"Whats your name supposed to be anyway?" Rouge asked the imprisoned Amy.
"Uh..not sure, really..." Amy shrugged "You know, Tails and I have argued about it MANY times and well I think I should be the "Pink Pulverizer" but he says I should be the "Hammer Girl", honestly I dont see how..."
Just then Sonic leapt out of nowhere and struck Rouge, knocking her off the top of the massive bridge.
(if you have trouble picturing this, think of the brooklyn bridge)
Rouge magically floats herself back up and glares at the insolent hedgehog.
"No way we're surrendering to you, Rouge,..." Sonic said.
"Alright then..." Rouge smiled "Its HER funeral..."
Rouge levitates Amy towards the edge of the bridge. Amy shrieks and tries to resist but Rouge's power is too strong.
"Alright then..." Sonic said. "Drop her."
"SONIC!!" Amy screamed "Are you nuts?"
"Heh, youre the boss!" Rouge said, snapping her fingers and knocking Amy off the edge, chuckling as she fell closer to her death. Suddenly a caped figure swooped by and saved her in mid fall. It was Tails!
"Tails..." Amy said, out of breath "You saved me..."
"Yep" Tails said, "And Shadows here to help too"
"Chaos control!" he said, warping the 2 back up to the bridge, as Sonic and Rouge were left alone on top of it.
"You know, we dont HAVE to do this, Rouge!" Sonic said. "You know youre not evil..."
"I dont think so!!" Rouge proclaimed, zapping Sonic backwards. He flipped himself onto the rails of the bridge and grinded to the other side.
Rouge sent small energy blasts to the other side and Sonic jumped over them to grind back.
"THATS IT!!" Rouge said, flying down to where Sonic was "Take this!!"
She zapped the bridge cables all together and caused Sonic to fall to the street.
"Thatll do it!" Rouge said.
"Hold on a sec!!" Tails shouted "Im not done with you yet!"
"Ah its the fox!" she grinned "Come on get me Fierce, Fighting, LOSER!!"
"Loser?" Tails asked "Alright that's it!"
Tails leapt from the top of the bridge and landed on Rouge, bringing her down towards the ocean. Rouge shrieked and swiped at him, slicing him across the face a couple times but still he wouldnt quit.
"Eer.." Rouge growled "I cant teleport both of us at once... so I guess this is the end... that doesnt mean you wont go down with me..."
Rouge zapped Tails and stuck him to her. Tails tried to escape but could do nothing as the 2 tumbled into the unforgiving sea. After getting underwater, Rouges hold was broken and Tails tried to swim away but Rouge yanked his foot and slung him deeper underwater. Running out of breath and with not much time left, he thrusted forward and smacked Rouge back. Rouge tried to zap him again but her powers werent too effective in the water. Finally Tails prevailed and jumped out of the water, flying back to the others.
"What happened to Rouge?" Sonic asked.
"I think..." Tails say, watching a weak glow in the water flicker and then fade "I think... shes dead..."
Just then, the ocean rippled and Rouge came flying out, still with a weak glow around her but otherwise, ravaged from fighting.
"You fools..." Rouge said "You arent done with me yet!"
"But I am!" Knuckles said, whopping her in the back of the head with his fists. She finally passed out at his feet.
"Knuckles..." Sonic said "I thought you were on HER side..."
"No... she was mind controlling me..." Knuckles admitted "And when Tails threw her into the water, it disabled her control..."
"So what do we do with her?" Sonic asked.
"The chemicals in her brain have made her delusional.. and she'll come to soon.. we need to find some scientists to get her back to normal..." Knuckles said.
Hours later...
"Uh...guys?" Rouge awoke, finding herself in a prison and no longer with super powers. "What happened?"
"We had some scientists return you to normal..." Knuckles said "Its all over now..."
"Oh thank god" Rouge said "Im so glad to be on the side of good again...wait, why am in jail?"
"Well..." Tails said nervously "I mean, you DID destroy stuff and hold Amy hostage..."
"But dont worry" Sonic said "Youll be out in 5 to 10... weeks that is..."
Rouge sighed with misery. "Cant you guys pay my bail?"
"Sorry..." Tails said "Had to spend a lot of money to get the chemicals out of your system... but dont worry, we'll come visit... so.. anyone want coffee?"
"Yeah, alright lets go" they all said walking off.
"So you see Tails..." Robotnik laughed, as his androids secured bombs all around the 'Flammable Inc.' factory in central Station Square "You are never gonna stop me... for you see, my new plan is the..."
"Please dont say... the bomb..." Tails sighed, "that pun is so old"
"What I've... Ive never said that before..." Robotnik stammered.
"Let's see..." Tails sighed, flipping open a mini notepad "Youve said, 'this plan is the bomb', 'this should be a BLAST', 'I have an EXPLOSIVE temper', 'Im on FIRE!'"
"No, that one I said because Sonic set me on fire" Robotnik explained.
"Oh yeah" Tails sighed, closing his notebook. He had been tied to a cylinder at the factory, only able to watch as Robotnik's droids installed bombs that would blow the factory to kingdom come, along with several blocks of the city, "and I already told you, Robotnik, Im not TAILS anymore... Im the fierce fighting fox!"
"Oh yeah... the mask thing, thats right" Robotnik rolled his eyes, "Yknow you really need a better get-up..."
"I could say the same to you..." Tails mumbled.
"What was that??" Robotnik snapped, as he continued to prepare the bombs.
"Oh nothing..." Tails sighed. Maybe this time he really was doomed.
Just then, there was a crash and some robots fell over, dropping their bombs onto oil canisters causing a massive explosion. Robotnik turned around in shock and from the smoke emerged a shadowy figure.
"AMY!!" Tails exclaimed in glee "You found me"
"Of course I did, I got your voicemail" Amy said, opening her cell phone and putting it on her speakerphone to hear Tails screaming "he captured me at the oil factory! Help me! I want my mommy! I want my mommy!"
"ERR!" Robotnik growled "I will not be thwarted by Amy!"
"Im not Amy!" Amy said as she darted towards Tails "Call me... the PINK PANTHER!!"
"Uh... Amy? Thats copyright infringement..." Tails sighed.
"Uh... how about Pink?" Amy asked.
"Also... already taken..." Tails sighed.
"well allow me..." Robotnik chuckled, deploying more robots "To get this party started!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
The robots surrounded Amy, reaching at her with their claws and trying to tie her down. She tried to fight them off but her hammer could only do so much damage and she was severely outnumbered.
"I just need her to use up enough time..." Tails thought to himself as he unleashed a small blade from his glove. "to cut the ropes"
While Robotnik wasn't watching him, Tails used the blade to slowly slice the ropes up and eventually snuck out and escaped.
"TAILS!! HELP ME!!" Amy shrieked.
All the robots then looked up at Tails who had snuck up onto some scaffolding. Tails slapped his forehead in frustration and kept running.
"Damn it, Amy" he yelled as he ran from more robots "Way to give away my cover..."
"Oops..." Amy sighed "Your sidekick... PINK- ASSO will save the day!"
"Now youre not even trying!" Tails sighed as he ran from the robots. He managed to get a few of them to run into the bombs on the ground, causing huge explosions. Robotnik sighed in dismay as his plan, and the factory was falling apart around him. He tried to fly away when suddenly Tails was right in front of him.
"Eer! How did you get up here?" Robotnik snapped.
"Jet shoes... the latest in crime fighting technology... same way I used my hand blade to cut through your ropes" Tails explained with pride.
"Well here's some technology for YOU!" Robotnik laughed and fired a plasma ray at Tails. Tails put his wrist up quickly and a holographic shield generated that deflected the blast. Robotnik took off in fear, leaving Tails to attend to the bombs.
"Get out of here, Amy!" Tails yelled, as debris came down around them. "I'll handle this!"
There was one big bomb left and as the fire continued to grow, Tails was trying to put it out with his wrist-extinguisher while trying to fight his way towards the giant bomb with a time counter on it.
"Why do the villains always insist on putting big tacky numbers on the countdown thing?" Tails sighed "Like I dont KNOW it's a bomb!"
Tails carefully opened the hatch on the bomb and began to look over the cicruitry.
"Ugh... which wire do I cut?" Tails wondered "red? blue?"
"Pink!" he heard a voice say.
"Huh?"
"The pink avenger!" Amy exclaimed.
"Amy! Will you get out of here already?!" Tails screamed, accidentally cutting a yellow wire out of frustration. "Oh... crap"
The bomb whirred to a stop, and Tails had disarmed it somehow. He sighed with relief and took off out the door. In the meantime, Sonic was just running up to help.
"Heard you were in trouble, Tails" Sonic exclaimed.
"I WAS, but Im fine now" Tails groaned "and my name is Fierce Fighting Fox... I dont think it's that hard to remember..."
"Sorry..." Sonic sighed "But cmon... I mean youve tried being a crime fighter for a while now and you're good at it but..."
"But what?!" Tails yelled "None of you think I can keep this up! YOu all think Im just a clumsy sidekick whose come across some good luck but can't make it as a true hero?! Well I dont think so! I am not clumsy and I am noone's side kick anymore!"
Tails then tripped over a pebble and rolled backwards into some steel beams. Sonic and Amy tried to suppress their laughter.
"Whatever..." Tails sighed "I'll see you guys later, and by the way, youre welcome, because I was the one who defeated Robotnik this time!"
Tails grumbled and complained under his breath as he walked home. Noone appreciated him as a hero, villains took him as a joke and even his own friends rarely supported him and his new life. You think the city would be grateful for the FFF, but it usually seemed to be the opposite.
Just then, a shadow was cast over him and before he had time to think, a figure in a black suit slashed at him and knocked him into a building hard. Tails gasped, his vision blurred for a few seconds to see the villain in a black suit drawing nearer. She was about his height and wore a shiny black metal suit with jet shoes and spikes along her arms and wrists. The helmet of the suit disappeared from her revealing...
"ROUGE?!"
"You knew this was coming, Tails!" Rouge growled and pounded the building Tails had been pinned to, but Tails quickly sprung away from her with his own jet shoes.
"I didnt kill your father!" Tails exclaimed, as Rouge tried blasting him with a plasma cannon on her arm.
"Wait, what?" Rouge asked.
"I mean... uh... I didnt have you arrested! Well actually I guess I did..." Tails sighed, "But you can't possibly hold that against me, can you?"
Rouge stood silent for a few seconds before unleashing blades from her wrists that spun around quickly and whizzed around Tails.
"I guess you can!" Tails yelped, as the blades closed around him in a circular pattern. He jumped over them and around them as they tried to home in on him. Rouge chased him with the jet shoes and Tails jumped and took off into the skies with his own jet shoes.
"You wont get away from me this time!" Rouge exclaimed, firing more blades into the air after Tails. Tails turned on his plasma shield to disintegrate the blades before they had a chance to cut him. Rouge growled and unleashed smaller but powerful plasma beams. Tails weaved around them but got hit by one and was flung onto a tower where Rouge fired a missile. Tails avoided the blast but the missile jarred some rubble off the tower and Tails had to zip under it but ended up going right into a clothesline move that Rouge had prepared.
"Oh no!" Tails exclaimed as he was slashed again "My jet shoes!"
He began tumbling from the sky when he remembered he could fly anyway because he was a fox.
"Oh right" Tails sighed, feeling stupid. He took to the skies again and rammed into Rouge hard, knocking her into a building.
"Oh shoot" Rouge yelled, as the back of her jet shoe got caught in the building. She pulled herself free before Tails attacked but she had broken the heel off the shoe and now only one of her jet shoes operated correctly, sending her spiraling to the streets below.
"ROUGE!!" Tails yelled. He didnt want to be responsible for her death, so he took off quickly to save her.
Rouge hit the ledge of a building on her way down, cutting her face a bit and then tumbled backwards down an alley and into the city streets. She landed on her chest but was still okay, but very damaged. The metal suit had protected her but she was now sparking and in pain as the townspeople saw her stumble through town.
"Look!" she yelled, pointing up at Tails
"Look what he did to me!"
The people gasped and looked to see FFF on top of the building she pointed at.
"No! You dont understand... I... ugh, its too complicated..." Tails sighed, and slunk away. He knew he hadn't seen the last of Rouge but he didnt care, although he wondered where she had gotten that new suit.
Meanwhile, Robotnik returned to his base after another defeat.
"Ugh... that damn fox!" Robotnik growled "The one time Sonic wasn't there and I have to deal with the 'fierce freaky fox'"
Robotnik went online to determined to find new technology that was even better than the technology that Tails was using to defeat him. He typed in "evil weaponry" and got 1,235 matches.
"Damn shipping charges!" Robotnik growled as he scrolled through missile launchers and new robotic mechanations.
Just then, the sound of boots on metal was heard behind Robotnik. He turned around to see a shadowy figure.
"Hey, doc" the figure chuckled, slowly revealing himself to the evil doctor "Don't waste your time on amazon... I got the goods you need, and then some!"
Robotnik laughed maniacally because he knew there was no way Tails would be able to stop him with this new stuff.
The next morning Tails awoke to frightening news... he was all out of bacon!
"How will I have bacon and eggs now?!" Tails exclaimed and put on his FFF suit. "To the grocery store!!"
At the grocery store, he saw Sonic waiting in line with pancake batter.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Sonic rolled his eyes "You're wearing the costume to get groceries?"
"Well... yknow how dangerous... that... deli can be" Tails stammered.
"Yes, definitely..." Sonic sighed. Just then, there was a loud bang outside. Tails looked out the window to see a huge scorpion robot attacking a building. Inside was none other than Dr. Robotnik. "Eer! Robotnik!"
"I'll handle this one!!" Tails exclaimed.
"And Ill help!" Amy added, from another aisle.
"Amy, what are you doing here?" Sonic asked.
"Uh... nothing" Amy answered, hiding tampons behind her back.
"Cmon Amy!" Tails said, as the 2 charged out into action "Lets get him!!"
"Let's just hope I can clean up the mess they make..." Sonic sighs, watching the 2 go out into battle.
Robotnik smirked as he could see from the corner of his eye, the 2 rookie heroes coming up from behind. His robot extended a long metal claw that struck the ground hard, causing a shockwave to knock the 2 off their feet.
"Ugh..." Tails gasped, noticing his mask was slightly off, so people could see him "Must perserve secret identidy"
"Hi, Tails" a random citizen said.
"Hi Ted... damn it!" Tails yelled, as another robot claw slammed down in front of him.
"Give it up, Tails" Amy sighed "Everyone knows it's you in there!"
"Whatever, will you help me or not?" Tails asked, as he grabbed a robot claw and snapped it off. Robotnik growled and generated another one. The robot was made of some kind of liquid metal that re-generated when damaged.
"Okay, okay" Amy replied "The Pink..."
"Give it up with the nicknames and help me!!" Tails cried as he was quickly surrounded by metal claws. They all whirred as they swiveled around him, then pinned him to the ground. Just then Sonic buzz-cut through the claws, but only left them disabled for so long.
"I dont need your help!" Tails snapped, as Robotnik's robot stopped attacking the buildings and turned to focus on the 3 heroes.
"UH..." Amy gasped, looking up at the sheer size of the robot before her, "I'm uh... going home to think of more nicknames... later!"
Amy took off in a blaze as Robotnik's scorpion robot stood tall, growing more and more cumbersome claws.
"I've never seen her run that fast..." Tails groaned.
"Look out!!" Sonic yelled and knocked Tails out of the way of a huge plasma blast.
"I can handle this!!" Tails yelled and flew up high to the robot's cockpit. He extended a plasma ray from his wrist but robotnik's robot claw tore it off. He then popped a cherry bomb from his belt and threw it towards the center of the robot. There was a big explosion, but much to Tails' dismay, the hole left in the robot's torso quickly healed itself before Tails' eyes.
"Re-generative... interesting... UGH!" Tails screamed as he was slammed into the ground by the robot.
"You're gonna have to be more careful there" Sonic said, as he sprung into action against the robot. He jumped onto one claw and then another and another, each claw trying to grab him but suceeding only in destroying another claw. Finally, Robotnik caught on and slammed Sonic into the ground with Tails. "We need to work together, Tails... it's the only way"
"No we dont!" Tails said, taking off again towards the cockpit "I can do this on my own, I am the hero after all!"
Robotnik laughed and spun his claws around like a twisted ride at a carnival. Finally Tails was caught between them and slammed hard, through a building and landing on a city street several blocks away. He wanted to go back and fight but he felt too weak.
Just then he noticed he had crashed through a newspaper machine and the headline on the front page of the paper in front of him startled him. The paper read:
"FIERCE FIGHTING FOX ROBS THE BANK!!"
The story was all about a robbery that happened at midnight involving a shadowy figured who bore a strong resemblence to Tails. A picture confirmed the match, showing a picture of Tails in his mask with bags of money in his hands. Tails was in complete shock and felt awkrard as the townspeople again stared at him with fear.
"No.. you dont understand..." he said, showing them the newspaper "I... I didnt do that... I didnt..."
"Just like you didnt destroy the newspaper machine?!" an angry man exclaimed.
"Okay... well I guess I kind of did do that but not on purpose..." Tails explained.
"Just like you didnt rob the bank on purpose?!" another angry man snapped.
"Wait, what? NO! I mean... what?" Tails asked, and then flew off embarassed. Why did everyone seem to think he was on the side of evil? He was the reason this town still existed, he thought to himself as Sonic was seen in the background defeating Robotnik's giant robot.
Tails sat on the rooftop that night and looked out into the rain filled skies, thinking about his past and future.
"No matter how much I do... no matter how hard I try... its always the ones I love who pay..." Tails sighed, "With great power comes great responsibility..."
"Hey, Spiderman!" Sonic laughed, walking up onto Tails roof. "You okay?"
"I guess... just thinking... yknow?" Tails sighed "Now that I'm semi-wanted around here...I mean, the only proof they have against me is a blurry photo but still... the town is angry at me because they think I'm committing all these crimes..."
"Maybe it's time you just hung it up, man" Sonic said "I mean, you've been the FFF for a while now"
"It's been 3 months" Tails sighed.
"Okay, well, much longer than I thought it would last" Sonic smirked.
"Until further notice..." Tails said, putting on his mask "I'm the Fierce fighting fox, and I'm here to stay"
"Whatever you say there" Sonic chuckled "And Robotnik's robot today was pretty hardcore, huh?"
"Yeah, how'd you beat it?" Tails asked.
"That's the thing... I didnt" Sonic explained "I mean, I disabled it for a while but that liquid metal is freaky stuff... I couldn't knock it out for good"
"So how'd you get rid of it?" Tails asked.
"I eventually did enough damage to scare Robotnik away" Sonic explained "But the robot barely had a scratch on it after all that fighting..."
"Looks like the technology is finally starting to catch up to me..." Tails sighed, pulling out what he used to think was such a nifty retractable wrist blade. "I'll just have to be more clever"
"And so will I..." Amy exclaimed.
"How do you keep showing up?!" Tails asked.
"I dont know..." Amy shrugged.
The next night, a bigger crisis hit, when Tails turned on the 6 o clock news to see a huge building in Station Square on fire. He sprang up from his seat in shock to see that the camera showed HIM as the one setting it on fire.
"I've gotta figure out what's going on!" Tails exclaimed. Tails strapped on his mask and costume and got to work.
He arrived at the fire scene several minutes later and the firemen were generally ineffective in putting out such a fire.
"I've gotta get into the building!" Tails exclaimed and kicked the door down, running into what had been a 30 story office building but now every floor had fire on it. Amy burst in after him. "Amy! That was fast!"
"Yeah, I made it as fast as I could" Amy said, in full costume, now wearing a new utility belt.
"Whoa, nifty belt" Tails said.
"You like it?" Amy smiled.
"Yeah, now let's see if there are any people trapped inside!" Tails instructed and so the duo took off into the fire.
They ran through the steel debris and rubble in search of civilians when suddenly Tails noticed a shadow behind him. Before he had a chance to react, he had been knocked out with a steel bar.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Amy laughed.
"Huh?" Tails gasped, "Whats going on?"
"I am the Chameleon!!" she laughed and transformed from person to person, finally turning into Tails "Look familiar?"
"You're the one whose been framing me" Tails gasped "this was a trap... but how can you transform like that?"
"Sorry, that infromation is classified!" the chameleon laughed, smacking Tails again, knocking him into a wall. Just then, there was a loud mechanized whirring outside. Tails turned to see Robotnik's giant robot once again, in all it's heinous glory, except it looked bigger this time.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Robotnik chuckled "Good job luring him here, Chameleon!"
The Chameleon then jumped onto the cockpit of the robot with Robotnik.
"I shouldve known something was up when 'Amy' was so agile..." Tails thought to himself, slapping himself in the forhead as the robot reached a steel claw into the building. Tails rolled under it, but there was another one and another. Finally the claws grabbed a hold of Tails' tails so he couldnt fly and another claw slashed his jet shoes, disabling them.
"Get a load of this!!" Robotnik chuckled, then looked over at Chameleon who shook their head no.
"That's so 'Sonic Adventure'" they sighed.
"But I said... GET A LOAD OF THIS!!" Robotnik snarled, and the robot reeled around and, with an iron grip still on Tails, whipped Tails into another building so that he was pinned and without any weaponry to stop him. As Tails struggled he noticed something engraved on the robot's claw.
It said: "COURTESY OF 'FNG ENTERPRISES' VISIT US ON THE WEB AT:
Tails had little time to think about this as Robotnik's robot pulled him off the building and tosses him like a discis across the city. He landed somewhere across town into a civilian's house.
"Move Tails!!" the civilain shouted. It was Amy "I'm missing 'All my children'"
"Your concern is touching..." Tails groaned.
"Well, what happened??" Amy asked.
"Robotnik happened, and even worse, there's a new villain in town and he calls himself the Chameleon" Tails explained.
"The Chameleon?" Amy asked. "Not a bad sidekick name, I suppose..."
"Well, he's not a sidekick... and he's the one whose been framing me..." Tails sighed. "But at least I think I have an idea of how to stop them..."
"Whats that?" Amy asked.
"Before I was slaughtered by them, I noticed a logo on the claw of the robot," Tails said, "it said 'FNG ENTERPRISES' and so I decided that must be where theyve gotten the technology..."
"So what are you going to do?" Amy asked.
"Well... what can I do? I need to go to FNG and pretend I'm a villain, then I can get some stolen tech of my own..." Tails said "and I can get revenge on these villains who think Im such a joke, they'll see how much of a joke I am when I have the power"
"Tails..." Amy warned, "revenge is like a poison, it can take us over, turn us into something ugly..."
Tails just stood there, glaring at Amy for several seconds, before slumping out of her house, saying "We are SO getting sued for this episode..."
That night Tails spent his night downstairs in the Fox burrow, running an online search on 'FNG ENTERPRISES"
Just then, there was a flashing and a loud sound. Tails turned around and picked up a plasma gun, pointing it around in a paranoid fashion, hoping to scare away his intruder.
"Who dares enter the Fox burrow?" Tails asked defensively, turning around to being frightened by Shadow.
"Hey nice gun!" Shadow exclaimed "Can I use it now?"
"No you cannot use it now!" Tails groaned, throwing the gun aside "Shadow, how'd you even get in here? I got the locks replaced and added a steel door!"
"Chaos control" Shadow smiled.
"Well, what do you want?" Tails asked, frustrated.
"I want to help" Shadow said "After all, I am one of your sidekicks remember? How come you never answer my calls?"
"Maybe because 2 sidekicks is too many" Tails sighed in frustration "Look, Shadow, I appreciate what youve done for me in the past, but you and I are seperate heroes, not sidekicks, and if you don't mind, I'd like to keep looking things up online so I can figure out a way to stop these villains!"
"But I can help..." Shadow added.
"I dont need your help!!" Tails yelled.
"Everyone needs help..." Shadow said dramatically "Even Fierce Fighting Fox..."
He then vanished from the Fox burrow just as Tails noticed something online. It advertised a weapons convention at the Station Square Civic Center the next day at noon. It would be a showcase of FNG Enterprises and all kinds of new gadgets would be there. Tails would have to go undercover.
The next day...
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Tails laughed, donning a villain uniform that looked a lot like 2- face. He was wearing a purple tux and his mask was similar to the that of the phantom of the opera "I am... uh... The Fecetious Fox!"
"And I am..." Amy began
"...Not coming" Tails finished "C'mon Amy, I can handle this!"
"No, but you dont understand!" Amy said "I've been waiting to dress as a villain for a long time, I mean no offense but my current costume just doesn't show me off the way I'd like to be..."
"And how is that?" Tails asked indifferently.
"Turn around and take a look" Amy said.
Tails turned and saw Amy in a revealing 'Poison Ivy' type suit.
"AHHH!! IT BURNS!!" Tails screamed and ran out the door. Amy sighed in frustration. Why did guys always do that?
ENTER FNG ENTERPRISES...
Tails arrived at the gate of the convention to be greeted by a robot at the gate.
"State your name and purpose" the robot whirred.
"Uh... Fecetious Fox" Tails said, trying to sound evil "I am here for the weapons... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!"
"Do you have a club card?" the robot asked.
"Club...card?" Tails asked, confused.
"Yes, are you a member of CLUB FNG... only card carriers are allowed into the convention" the robot explained.
"Oh, I see" Tails sighed "I thought you meant another card... okay, I'll just get my FNG card then, hold on... oh here it is"
Tails reached into his pocket and put a small mine on the robot's head causing it to explode. What was left of the robot said "YOU MAY ENTER" and the gates opened. Tails laughed and walked in. When he walked in, the leader of FNG enterprises was standing atop a podium holding a metal box. The box was shiny on the outside but on the inside, something appeared to be moving.
Upon further inspection, Tails determined that the leader of FNG was none other than...
FANG THE WEASEL.
"Yknow I shouldve guessed that sooner..." Tails sighed to himself.
In the meantime, Fang continued to talk about his new living metal.
"This is better than any robot, any weapon, any THING that my company has stolen... I mean, created... ever." Fang laughed, putting the living metal in a box down in front of him "Why bother building a robot? When all you need to do is wear this metal. It forms around you and creates an ultimate battlesuit, feeding off your rage to defeat your enemy... you can then tear anyone and anything to shreds with the power this metal gives you!"
Tails gazed upon it in awe. It seemed to be a shiny alloy with black speckles but from he had heard, it was much more than that.
"So how much would you expect to pay for this?" Fang laughed "2000? 3000? 10000? well, the living metal suit is yours for only... 7 easy payments of 500 dollars!"
All the villains cheered as some hot women stood around the living metal, showing it off. Tails decided he had to have it. Whether he bought it or not. I mean after all, Fang had stolen it, so what was the big deal if Tails did as well?
"I'll take one!" Tails said, pulling out some cash.
"Deal." Fang smiled and threw Tails the box. Tails threw Fang a briefcase of money. Fang laughed until he opened the case. "Hey!! This is Monopoly money!!"
"Actually... its the uh... Game of life" Tails snickered and ran out of the building with the battle suit. Fang glared at him and vowed to always remember his face. Noone duped Fang the weasel...
"Okay..." Tails said, watching the liquid metal escape the box "What now?"
The liquid metal sure didnt appear as threatening or awesome as Fang made it appear. Maybe he had been scammed as well, because all the metal seemed to do was sit there and pulsate.
"I guess it doesn't work..." Tails sighed "At least I paid nothing for it... I'll get to bed and figure it out later..."
That night, the liquid metal finally sprang to life and found it's way onto Tails' bed. It snatched one of his hands and spread it's way up his arm. It absorbed every part of him and slowly began consuming him. By the time Tails began waking up, it was too late, the metal was devouring him.
Tails soon found himself outside, in a black costume. He still had his mask on but it was now black and shimmering. In fact most of his body was now black and shimmering. He felt different. He felt powerful.
"The power..." he gasped, putting his hand out in front of him. His hand now contained shiny sparkly pieces and a long extending blade made out of steel. "It feels good"
Tails wondered what else the suit could do and he extended the blade further. He jumped off the building and instantly, the jets from his new and improved jet shoes took him cruising.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Tails laughed, feeling invigorated, not noticing that his new 10 foot long blade was now shattering the glass of the buildings beside him. He landed on the city streets below and felt different. Stronger. Faster. He could see for miles and knew what was around him at all times. He then felt the suit shrink away from him a bit. He sat on a bench and decided to relax. He had absorbed the black metal into his system and now would be unstoppable the next time a villain challenged him.
The next day in the news, Tails read alarming news that someone had sliced a couple buildings in Station Square causing several thousands of dollars worth in damage. He then realized that it had been him. "Oh well" he thought to himself, "just have to be more careful next time"
When Fang had said that the suit worked off one's desires, he hadn't been kidding. The suit seemed to actually amplify those desires and make achieving them feel all too real.
Tails put on the 12 o clock news to see a disaster occuring at the Station Square subway. Someone had hijacked a train and was going to send it off the tracks, causing dozens of casualities. The culprit appeared to be Tails, but Tails knew the true identidy. It was his new rival, The Chameleon!
"I'll show him!!" Tails growled, his eyes filled with black rage as his new suit formed around him again. He took off in a blaze of glory and arrived at the subway station soon.
He could hear the train whizzing through the tunnels from a distance. He flew down the tunnels at supersonic speeds to investigate before noticing the train, teetering to and from from too much speed. The Chameleon must've sent it into overdrive. Tails was about to stop the train when he was slammed from behind by... HIMSELF!
"Ive got you now!!" The chameleon laughed, wrestling Tails into a wall as the train careened away to dangerous speeds "You're too late to stop me!"
"Is that so?" Tails smirked. The chameleon looked down in fear to see that Tails suit was crawling off his arm and starting to eat some of his. He gasped as Tails suit threw him into a wall effortlessly and Tails took off to save the train.
"I'm not done with you yet!!" Chameleon growled "Transforming isnt all this belt lets me do!"
Then chameleon shot a massive plasma beam at Tails and the train that he had been chasing after. Tails formed a big black sheild that blocked it but threw him into a wall which did some damage to the tunnels. Tails darted off to stop the train, forming big black claws from his back. The claws grabbed hold of the train and slowed it to a stop. The people onboard sighed with relief and got out of the train.
Tails was too busy focusing on stopping the Chameleon and so, took off the other way, seeing no sign of him anywhere. Just then he was slammed through the train tracks and knocked down into the sewers.
"Youre gonna die now!!" Chameleon yelled.
"Never!!" Tails screamed and blasted Chameleon with a huge black laser. Chameleon landed in the water and the transformation belt began sparking. "Now let's see who you really are"
Tails formed a blade with his black claw and pointed it down towards the figure that still had his appearance but was slowly transforming back. Finally the Chameleon's true identidy would be revealed.
"ROUGE?!" Tails gasped.
"Don't be so surprised..." Rouge gasped, out of breath from everything "I vowed revenge on you... and I will HAVE revenge!!"
Rouge then took the belt and wrapped it around Tails' neck. Tails growled and ripped the belt in half with his hand, then whipped Rouge into a wall with the end that he still held.
"Get over it, Rouge!!" Tails snarled "You deserved to go to prison and when I'm done with you, you'll spend the rest of your life there... or better yet..."
Tails body slammed Rouge again so she passed out, and she fell into the sewer water, and was taken away with the current.
"Good riddance" Tails smiled and walked off.
Tails had saved the train but not without doing considerable damage to the train tunnels, and in the fight, several more thousands worth of damage setting the city back months in transportation. Tails got back from his mission and was greeted by an angry Amy Rose.
"What do you want now?" Tails snapped, walking in the door. "One of these days I'll have to find a way to keep you out for good!"
"Tails..." she said, sounding offended "Why didnt you tell me about the situation at the subway? I couldve helped"
"Helped? HA!" Tails laughed "You cant even think of a name for yourself, why would I want such an identidy challenged and useless sidekick?"
Amy gasped.
"Tails... maybe you should give up crime fighting..." Amy said, turning away "Its starting to turn you into a jerk"
"This is the thanks I get?!" Tails growled "For saving all your butts?!"
"How about destroying those buildings last night?" Amy asked "How about damaging the subway system? How about all the other stuff?"
"I didn't DO any of those things!" Tails yelled "Well, maybe the building thing, but the rest of it was because of that scum bag, Rouge!"
"What does Rouge have to do with this?" Amy asked impatiently.
"She's been trying to frame me for things because she wants revenge" Tails explained. "And Im sick of everyone either wanting to kill me or make fun of me..."
"Look, Tails..." Amy sighed "I was talking to the others, and they all think you should give this up and just let it go... I mean, you're wanted in the city as it is, if you just cut it out and go back to helping Sonic then..."
"I WONT!!" Tails growled and his black suit growled too and hit Amy into the sink. Tails gasped in shock "Oh... I'm... I'm so sorry..."
"Whats happened to you?" Amy cried and ran out of the house. Tails looked at himself in the mirror and saw the black mist in his eyes, the black claws that stuck to his back, the black suit that had overtaken him. He couldnt let it control him anymore. In the distance he heard screaming. Another disaster? Geez, how many could there be in one day?
"Oh well," Tails thought to himself, as he blasted out the window "At least I can take my anger out on someone who deserves it"
It was Robotnik again, but this time his liquid metal scorpion robot was overpowering and had grown more arms and legs.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Robotnik laughed, sweeping a plasma ray around the city. Tails put his arms in front of him and they turned into 2 hard sheilds that blocked the shot from affecting him much "It's over for you now, Tails!!"
"I dont think so!!" Tails said and flew into the robot hard. Robotnik responded by grabbing Tails and throwing him into some power lines. The electricity caused Tails to rattle and shake violently. He felt something tearing inside him and noticed the black metal was retreating from his body and slinking away, pulsating in apparent pain as it slipped down a manhole cover. Now Tails was without his black metal suit.
"I guess I'm gonna have to do this old school..." Tails sighed "Catch me if you can, Eggman!!"
"I told you, my name's not Eggman!!" Robotnik growled and swiped at Tails with a claw. The claw hit the electric line and dissipated like his metal suit.
"Ah-ha..." Tails thought to himself
"Electricity is the liquid metal's weakness..."
He weaved his way around the claws and knocked his way up to the cockpit.
"No way, Tails!!" Robotnik laughed "You can't even enter the cockpit unless I say the voice activated password"
"Which is?"
"Get a load of this!! Oh crap." Robotnik sighed and the cockpit opened, dumping him out and Tails then jumped in.
"Now to finish this off!" Tails said, and took control of the robot, sending it plowing into the power lines.
"NOOOO!!" Robotnik screamed as the robot slowly turned to dust. "I'll get you next time!"
Robotnik took off in his egg-o-matic and Tails sighed with relief. He may have lost the battlesuit but it was all over. Robotnik was vanquished, and hopefully that would be the last of him for a while. And yet he felt as if something was still left unfinished...
Meanwhile
Rouge brought herself onto a stone ledge down in the inner sewer systems in Station Square, beaten and battered from fighting and smelling like dead fish.
"Ugh, that damn Tails!" Rouge growled, filled with anger. She suddenly noticed something black filtering through a grate above her. "Ugh, what is IN these sewers?"
Before she could say another word, the liquid metal formed a claw and slapped Rouge's mouth shut. She tried to scream but nothing came out as the liquid metal picked her up off her feet and slowly transformed her. Finally, over time, the metal released it's hold on Rouge's mouth.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!"
The next morning
"Ah..." Tails yawned, "now to wake up and find out that everything has been concluded and the happy ending can begin now... gotta love hero stories"
But when Tails turned on the TV, he saw just the opposite. A news report showed yet more chaos in the city. Debris was being sprinkled overhead and the news cameras panned upward to show a distressing scene. Someone in a black metal suit was holding Amy hostage several feet above the streets.
"STOP ME IF YOU CAN, FIERCE FIGHTING FOX!!" a loud voice cackled. Tails had known that voice. It was none other than Rouge, and she had the metal suit... which meant... he didn't even want to think it.
Meanwhile at Sonic's place
"Sonic..." Tails sighed, appearing at his doorway, dressed as the FFF "I need your help..."
"Why should I help you?" Sonic sighed "You got it handled, remember?"
"You were right, Sonic..." Tails admitted "Heroes do need to work together... and I could really use your help... like old times?"
"No" Sonic said, turning around and sitting down "If you really can't handle it on your own, then maybe, but according to you, we're no longer in alliance, so... go get em, Tails... I mean Fierce Fighting Fox"
Tails sighed after moments of silence and took off towards the disaster scene.
"So, Amy, we meet again" Rouge snarled. Most of her face had been covered in black by her suit and her body now had small spikes along the sides and a white stripe down her chest. She also had more spikes down the back of her ankles like batman and jet shoes with thick pointed heels. In addition, her hands were now big claws that could transform themselves into anything. "Except this time, Im new and improved"
"Tails was right about you..." Amy sighed "But why? We thought you went good after the chemical accident... and they let you out of prison early for good behavior... why'd you do it?"
"WHY?! Because I was allowed to rot in prison for all that time... noone even cared, and Tails is the one who put me in there" Rouge explained "and now I'm going to lure him up here and..."
"ROUGE!!" Tails shouted, flying at her at hyper speed. Rouge yawned and zipped past him and he missed by a mile.
"Hey Tails..." Rouge smirked "look behind you"
Tails turned quickly and was smacked into by Fang the weasel on his glider and was hit into some steel beams.
"Say goodnight, bub" Fang snarled and 2 pointed blades formed on the tip of his glider. Tails pulled himself up and jumped out of the way. Fang was caught in the steel with his blades from the speed of his impact. Tails went to attack him while he had the chance but a black claw grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him back like a yo-yo on a string. Fang broke free and threw a bomb at Tails. Tails broke free finally from the black metal and the bomb caused an explosion in the air that temporarily blinded everyone. Tails jumped out of the smoke and punched Rouge in the jaw.
"Whats your deal, Rouge?" Tails asked angrily.
"I am no longer ROUGE!" she snarled, as the suit grew even larger around her, "My new name is METTALIX!!"
"Metallix?" Tails asked "Wasnt that Metal Sonic's name in Japan?"
"Yeah, it sounds kind of unoriginal" Amy commented, "like a kid's toy or something"
"And who are you to comment on unoriginal names?" Rouge smirked looking at Amy. "But for now, if you'll all excuse me..."
Rouge shot Tails with a blast of black metal that suffocated him and sent him downwards onto a metal beam so that Rouge stood on him. "Now to show the world the true identidy of the one who imprisoned me... before he dies..." Rouge smiled and ripped his mask off.
Down below, a member of the press clamored to the front of the crowd with a camera pointed up.
"I must see what his true identidy is!" the member of the press exclaimed. Another citizen looked at him as if he were a moron. Of course everyone knew it was Tails.
"I've been planning this moment a long time..." Rouge smiled, having turned her claw into a long metal blade that she held over Tails "Say goodnight, you son of a..."
BAM!
Rouge was knocked off the girder but only temporarily as Fang saved her on his glider. Sonic appeared with Shadow to save him.
"Cmon Tails" Sonic laughed, helping his friend up "Get your head in the game"
"You saved me?" Tails asked "After everything?"
"Hey, like I said, when it counts, Im here" Sonic said, "but for now, let's party!"
Rouge jumped off the glider and lunged at Tails. Tails jumped over her and kicked her from behind. Sonic slammed into her with a spin attack. Tails flew after Fang who was shooting bombs back at him from the glider.
"Noone gets free weapons from Fang the weasel..." Fang growled.
"Shouldnt it be Nack the weasel?" Tails asked, now having jumped onto the back of his glider.
"Oh not that again..." Fang sighed "I'm tired of this sh--"
BAM!
His glider plowed into the front of a building sending him down to the ground below.
"That ought to finish him" Tails smiled. He was about to fly off when suddenly he was tied up and choked back down to the ground by Fang.
"This aint over, bub" Fang snarled, as it began to rain around them. "This is far from over"
Fang showed off a blade that came out of his hand and tried to slash Tails with it. Tails dodged and countered with a blade of his own. The 2 sword fought until Tails slashed Fang's blade so hard it snapped.
"Uh-oh" Fang gasped, as Tails neared him. "Here, this should be da bomb!"
Fang threw a bomb but Tails caught it and looked back in anger.
"I ALREADY HEARD THAT PUN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE!!!" Tails screamed as lightning began coming down around them. He took the bomb in his hand and threw it back at Fang.
"NOOOO!" Fang screamed as the bomb exploded. Tails looked upon his defeated foe in satisfaction.
Tails rejoined Sonic and Shadow but Rouge was suddenly gone.
"Where'd she go?" Tails asked.
"I dont know, she fled" Sonic replied.
"Of course" Tails responded "Lightning is the suit's weakness, we need her to get struck by lightning!"
"Its a good thing then, that the lightning rod is just a mile away" Shadow said.
"That'll work" Tails smiled and took off.
He decided there was only one way to get Rouge to come back.
"Whats the matter Rouge?" he asked "Cant beat the Fierce Fighting... OOF!"
Tails was slammed into by Rouge into another building sending shattered glass everywhere. She held what was left of Fang's glider in her hand.
"Never wound..." she began "What you can't kill"
"you dont want to do this, Rouge" Tails gasped.
"And why not?" Rouge asked
"Well... actually Im not sure" Tails sighed
"Heh. Exactly" Rouge laughed and tied Tails up in black metal, using her other hand to thrust the bladed glider remains at him. Just then Sonic jumped in the way.
"SONIC!!" Tails gasped.
"No, dont worry, she has terrible aim!" Sonic smiled, pointing out the glider had missed him. Sonic then punched Rouge and helped Tails out of the mess.
"You 2 are on my last nerve!" Rouge growled and blasted them both with a black wind that shoved them both backwards and off the building.
"AHHHH!!"
"Hold on Sonic!" Tails exclaimed and scooped him out of the sky while flying. "C'mon we just need to get her to the lightning rod, her concern to kill us both will outweigh her caution"
Rouge flew behind them, shooting black darts at them both. Tails weaved around them, kicking some of them back at her, until they reached the tip of the lightning rod.
"I have you now!!" Rouge laughed and slammed Tails hard, sending Sonic tumbled onto the the roof below. Rouge put Tails in a choke- hold standing atop the lightning rod. "Any last words, Tails??"
"Yes..." Tails groaned, with what little energy he had left "Look out for that lightning, its a shocker..."
"That is such a lame pun" Rouge commented Then a bolt of lightning ran through the lightning rod and it was Tails who had the last laugh. He barely broke free as a surge of electricity bolted it's way through Rouge's body and down the massive tower. Rouge screamed in agony as her metal suit dissipated slowly into nothingness. The whole gang watched in shock as Rouge was zapped to a pulp by lightning.
"Is she... dead?" Amy asked later.
"I think so... unless..." Tails said.
"What?" Sonic asked.
"Well I have a machine that could revive her but there is a side effect..." Tails sighed.
"Well let's try something!" Sonic said.
HOURS LATER...
"huh? what happened to me?" Rouge asked, waking up. She found herself now inside a small jar. "What the hell?!"
"Sorry Rouge" Tails now giant voice boomed "the only way to keep you alive was to shrink you down"
"Can you give me my normal size back?" Rouge asked in fear "I'd like to not be this small, yknow"
"Oh Im sure you would" Tails sighed, putting her jar down on a shelf "But it's the only way, as far as I know, the effect is permanent, Im sorry"
"NO!!" she screamed, her voice now just squeaks "YOU HAVE TO CHANGE ME BACK!! CHANGE ME BACK!!"
She now began hopping up and down in anger, squeaking and chattering like a tiny mouse. "CHANGE ME BACK NOW!!" she screamed again and again "PLEASE!! I VOW MY REVENGE ON YOU TAILS!! YOU'LL SEE!! YOULL SEE!!"
Tails sighed and left the room.
"Guess thats the thanks I get for saving her life..." Tails sighed and smiled. "Now it's time to relax"
But instead of relaxing he was surrounded by people in Sony suits, attorneys and Spiderman.
"Uh... what do you guys want?" Tails asked.
"Youre under arrest for violating ARTICLE 2D..." an attorney explained.
"Which means...?"
"Your whole episode was a blatant ripoff of Spiderman 3!!" Spiderman shouted.
"No... not... not all of it!" Tails gasped.
"Enough of it, and we want some money, and we want it now" a Sony representative said.
"Or what? What will you do if I dont give you the money?" Tails asked.
"Okay, you asked for it" an attorney said "Get him, Venom!"
"Huh?"
"RAAAAAGHH!!"
"AHHHHH!!"
