"Are you sure this is real?" Buttercup asked. "I mean, the Mayor isn't exactly the sharpest chainsaw in the shed."

"It's as real as cancer, Kaoru. And what Mr. Mayor lacks in smarts, he makes up for in heart!" TJ replied.

Miyako blushed. She always liked it when TJ spoke like that. And TJ liked her too, but we'll expand on that in due time.

They turned and saw Mojo's giant robot trashing the city.

"Okay, I got this! DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DAAAA! CHAAAAAARRRRGGGGEEEE!" Tails shouted as he lunged at the robot. Unfortunately, this was just what Mojo expected.

The robot grabbed Tails in its crushing grasp. Mayumi and Shigeru grabbed Tails by his eyelids and held them open.

Alas, Tails was looking right at the full moon. *BA-DUM.*

A faint drumbeat had started, and that is what kicked off the nightmarish transformation.

*BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.*

The drumbeats gradually sped up:

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

Suddenly, the drumbeats stopped all at once.

Then, that was when it really started up.

Tails' teeth became razor-sharp fangs; his clothes tore off, and his eyes became blood-red. His nose became long and snout-like.

And he grew to an incredible size—about 50 feet. "ROOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRR!" he bellowed angrily, beating his chest.

"You were right! I cannot believe that it worked!" Mojo said.

Then he took out a bullhorn, turned it on, and said: "ALRIGHT, MY MIGHTY MONSTER,CRUSH THE RED ONE!"

He was talking about Blossom.

Sonic quickly looked up at the moon, and felt the transformation happening to him.

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

*BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.* *BA-DUM.*

In an instant, the mighty monster grabbed Blossom and slowly began to squeeze.

"Tails! Please, don't do this…I know you're still in there." Blossom pleaded, close to tears.

Tails managed to utter, "M-M—MOMOKO? IS…THAT YOU?" He then began to grunt as he turned around to Mojo, and he began to glow with a white aura.

Just then, Sonic the WereHog showed up. "What'd I miss, guys?" he asked with a pointy-toothed grin.

"Blossom managed to convince Tails not to hurt her, and now he's changing into his ultimate form." TJ explained.

"I think that—" he started, but was cut off when Miyako pulled herself towards him and kissed him.

"Whoa. Miyako, that felt…heavenly!" TJ said, dazed.
