Alright it's time to find out what happened to Tails. Okay , so Luigi, Tails, and Ludwig aren't idiots, but Sonic and Mario are.

Chapter 6: The Strangers

In the lab, Ludwig had untied Tails and was asking him questions.

"Tails what happened! How could you abandon me! I could have died out there!" Ludwig shouted.

"Shouldn't I be the one who could have died?" Tails asked.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. Anyway, what happened?" Ludwig asked.

"Well it all went like this. . ."

Flashback

Tails was in his lab, working on his plane. And unlike every dramatic flashback, he didn't have a Chaos Emerald.
So, as he was working on his plane a loud crash came from above the ground. Tails rushed above ground and guess who he saw. Was it A. Sonic, B. Mecha Sonic, or C. Dead Bowser. Doo do do da da. Da da da do do. If you guessed Mecha Sonic you are correct.

"Mecha Sonic! Look at what you did to this place! If I'm going to be lost and die in a cave, I atleast want to be lost and die in a decent cave!" Tails shouted, completly ignoring anything else.

Mecha Sonic wasn't really surprised, he thinks everyone is an idiot. "I don't care about your home, I just want Chaos Emeralds."

"Well to bad, I don't have any" Tails shouted.

"Oh, well I guess nothing left to do but tie you up."Mecha Sonic said.

And that's exactly what he did

Flashback End

"Well that must have sucked." Ludwig said.

"Yup." Tails said. "So what where you telling me about this 'shiny rock' you found."

"Oh yeah, it's right here." Ludwig said, pulling his 'shiny rock' from his shell. "I found it, and was wondering if you knew anythink about it.

Tails was flabbergasted at what the 'shiny rock' was. "It's a Chaos Emerald!" Tails shouted. Pretty simple answer, huh.

"So that's what this is! Even with the discription you gave me, I couldn't figure it out!" Ludwig shouted.

"Well we have to keep a close eye on it. Mecha Sonic could come back and take it." Tails said.

"I agree, but what if he do-" Ludwig was cut off by a loud noise.

Tails looked worried. "What if that's Mecha Sonic, back already!" He shouted.

"Well what are we doing sitting around here for! Let's go kill him!" Ludwig said, charging to the stone table to go above ground.

"Augh! W-wait for me!" Tails shouted, getting up, as Ludwig had pushed him down when he charged. "Here, keep this in your shell so we don't lose it." He told Ludwig, handing him the Chaos Emerald.

"Alright. Now let's kill Mecha Sonic." Ludwig said, as they had stopped moving, because they were going up the whole time they were talking.

"Now Mecha Sonic, it's time you died!" Tails shouted, looking up as he finished speaking. "Wait a second, that's not Mecha Sonic. Who are you?" Tails asked the figures in the shadows.

Spooking, huh? So who do you think those mysterious figures are? And, as I said before Luigi, Tails, and Ludwig aren't idiots, but they will be silly at times. Next chapter, we find out who the mysterious figures are. So, stayed tuned!
