Sparktimus: It has all that stuff? I'll have to read it over and see! Thanks for your review!
Raziel777: Yeah, you're right. Hang Nail doesn't have anything redeeming about him. I'm glad you like the story and I always look forward to your opinion.

Read and Review please!
Chapter 34: Who's the loser now?
"Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!" Eggman shouted for what seemed like the 30th time but who's counting? The answer was Bokkun.
"Doctor. Are you angry? You sound like that retarded alien from Robot Chicken."
"No Bokkun! I'm not angry! I'm just really happy to be by you, that's all!" Eggman shouted while basically slamming his controls forward so that his Eggmobile would go faster. It couldn't go faster was the problem though. They had just recently made it into Coordinates 000 and they had been going at full speed for what seemed like forever!
"I don't believe it! It just baffles me how I, the great Dr.Eggman-sama could actually be the farthest one away from Coordinates 000! It's simply amazing!" He shouted angrily. He was jamming all the buttons on his console hoping to get a giant robot or something to come up to him so he could control it and cause a riot. The usual evil genius routine it was.
"… Sama?" A confused Bokkun asked
"It's Japanese."
"Oh… what's it mean?"
"Shut it Bokkun!"

"It figures that Smoke dude would be the first to attack!" Hang Nail complained while pouting. "I wanted to attack first!"
"I seriously suggest you keep your mouth shut like I said before. I meant what I said about your mouth! I will tear it off! Don't think I haven't done it to someone else before!"
"You're creepy!"
"And you're a 'Forever Virgin'! Want to share any more 'Fun Facts' with me!" Smoke was annoyed. Hang Nail's vein was about to pop.
"Take it back you!" Hang Nail launched himself at Smoke while Sonic and Tails just watched.
Smoke was about to put his hands up in defense when Hang Nail suddenly got behind him.
"I've got you now!" He shouted in excitement.
Before he could land a blow however, he was kicked in the face by the powered up kitsune. Hang Nail fell to the ground and quickly forced himself to recover.
"Getting impatient Two-Tail? Don't worry! Our fight will continue! I just have a little pest control to take care of!" Hang Nail said as he drew out his claws and jumped toward Smoke. Tails however got in his way and stopped his claws with his own.
While the two struggled in the air Smoke powered up his projectile until it was ready to fire. With the two of them trying to pin each other down like that it would be easy to take them out. He fired his smoke bomb at both Tails and Hang Nail hoping to take two birds out with one stone.
Suddenly the unexpected happened when Tails flipped Hang Nail's body over and used him as a shield from Smoke's attack. It hit the jaguar and caused a considerable amount of crushing pain before Tails let the bully drop. He then just as quickly began to run up the line of smog left behind from Smoke's attack.
"Attacking head on are we?" Smoke was about to fire with his other arm when two hands covered his eyes.
"Guess who?" Came the chuckle of a familiar blue hedgehog.
"Arrgh! I can't see! Let me go hedgehog!" Smoke shouted as his arms began to flail. Smoke couldn't be injured by physical attacks but that was only when he could see them coming!
It was too late however. Tails punched Smoke across the face and knocked him down. Sonic jumped over and landed in front of the fox with an amazing amount of grace.
"Nice one buddy!" He said while holding up his thumb. The unforgettable grin shown on his face yet again. Without even considering what to do next Tails lashed out at Sonic which, despite the friendly gesture, Sonic saw coming a mile away.
He began dodging Tails' deadly blows one by one. Eventually he reached the edge of the building he was on. Tails was about to attack again and finish Sonic off when he felt a jolting pain in his back.
Hang Nail's claws were penetrating him.
"Got ya! HAHAH!" He laughed manically.
Tails immediately jumped up with amazing speed and flew across the sky toward the direction of the castle. Both Sonic and Hang Nail looked confused by his action.
"Hey! Where you going Two-Tail!" Hang Nail shouted right before getting a kick in the face from Sonic. The jaguar ducked back then watched as Sonic followed Tails in pursuit.
"Tails! Wait!" He shouted as he began to building hop. The constant explosions coming from the battles taking place all over the place were throwing him off balance but he managed to keep his footing.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Tails was angered. What he truly wanted to do was lure at least one person away so that he could have the upper hand. Sonic was the lucky winner.
Tails curled himself up in a ball and shot himself down at Sonic with a blinding speed. Sonic barely dodged his aerial assault. Tails continued the process, which caused more and more buildings to be destroyed as they continued one. Sonic was about to trip when Tails shot back down again for what seemed like the longest time imaginable.. However, as luck would have it, another explosion took place below him and the building Sonic was suppose to land on when he jumped off the last one exploded.
Needless to say, Sonic fell. The good news though was that there was an Eggman robot in his way to break his fall.
"Sorry." Sonic apologized to the pile of scrap that lay below him and looked up to see two surprised G.U.N soldiers. "Hey guys." He said with yet another friendly voice. The two men simply pointed their guns at him. "Guess being polite is frowned upon in the army." Sonic quickly got up and ran the opposite direction Tails was in as a means of escaping the barrage of bullets that followed.
"WHOA!" Sonic shouted as he ducked a huge pair of claws coming straight at him. They of course belonged to Hang Nail. The look on his face told Sonic that he was far from happy.
Hang Nail's swipe missed Sonic and squired one of the G.U.N soldiers, instantly killing him. The other one quickly began to fire at Hang Nail. The jaguar dodged and attacked the soldier. However, before his attack could hit…
WHAM!!
Smokestack's boot and Tails' shoe connected with the jaguar's face sending him crashing through two buildings and three Eggman robots.
As soon as Smoke and Tails landed the commander didn't hesitate to attack the fox. He sent a huge projectile of Smoke out at Tails and sent him flying farther then Hang Nail had flown.
Tails crashed into the ruins and struggled to get up. Clearly, everyone was more then serious about this fight. Tails was about to think up a strategy when a bullet flew past his face. He looked down and saw several Eggman robots below him.
"They shot at me? How stupid?"
For some reason the robots had installed in them a black screen with numbers on them. Each one had the same number and above the number the words 'Participant's left…' were written. Tails thought for a second then realized what that meant.
"On their chest's… are the number of robots, animals, and people who are still able to fight in the war…" Tails looked at the robots and saw the amazingly high number that was somewhere in the billions decrease at an alarmingly fast rate. Tails didn't know that the killing of people could happen so fast!
"I bet those robots have sensors on them that allow them to tell how many people, robots, and animals are here…"
The robots raised their guns and began firing at Tails. The fox jumped and blasted through them both in a flash. The sound of sparks and electric crackling was heard followed by the sound of two slams against the ground.
Tails turned to look at the damage. He saw the screen with the number on one of the robot's chests was still intact. He looked at it and saw the huge number decrease by two.
Meanwhile a couple yards back
Sonic was hopping from building to building while trying to avoid Smoke's attacks. It was amazing how much stamina this guy had. Sonic soon came up on a huge area filled with a great deal of ruined stone towers. He saw plenty of Eggman robots and G.U.N soldiers below. He knew running into them would be trouble but he couldn't very well let Smoke catch him.
The hedgehog landed in the middle of the soldiers and robots. His being there was quickly noticed and he was shot at vigorously. He had to literally dance around in the same spot to avoid all the bullets that were being shot at him.
Almost immediately after Smoke came down and took out the Eggman robots surrounding Sonic with a barrage of powerful punches. Sonic took this opportunity to strike down the soldiers that were shooting at him as well. He lunged at them and took out three before something caught at his leg. What timing!
Sonic fell and rolled a bit until he stopped in front of a wounded soldier. Apparently he had been shot in a vital area and the blood that seeped out of his chest told him that the poor guy was suffering. He looked down at him wishing he could help but quickly got back up knowing that he couldn't. Sonic looked ahead and tried to register the situation. Smoke was currently taking out a bunch of robots and all the soldiers in this particular area were unconscious.
That didn't last long.
Suddenly five huge explosions took place behind Sonic and robots began to pop out of nowhere beyond the smoke. They landed around the area, which made it look like Sonic and Smokestack were completely surrounded.
"Oi! How many of you are there? Sheesh!" Sonic was frustrated, that was for sure. As if on cue more G.U.N soldiers came from beyond the black smoke as well. They all immediately opened fire on all the robots. Some shots were able to blast through the robots while some missed entirely.
"Those most be some hard-ass bullets… and I don't know why but that sounded wrong…" Sonic shook his discomfort off and readied himself for the hell-fire that was sure to come. When it did the hedgehog ducked through the bullets as a means of getting out of there.
He ran straight up to a robot and was hoping to bash through it. However, someone beat him to it. The robot in front of him was destroyed and behind the smoke was a face he rather he hadn't seen.
"Hey hedgehog!" Hang Nail said as he held a G.U.N soldier by the neck in his bloody hand.
"You let him go now and maybe I'll convince my alternate dimensional self to consider going easy on you!" Sonic growled while clenching his fists.
"Sounds tempting but I've got a better idea! I crush this guy's neck, then I crush yours!" The jaguar laughed and began to squeeze the life out of the defenseless soldier. Sonic grew angrier with each cry that was let out of the poor guy's mouth. Sonic couldn't take it! He launched himself at Hang Nail… only to be met with a fist in the face!
Sonic fell on to the ground in a dazed state while he looked on. He saw Hang Nail drop the soldier and step over his presumably dead body toward the hedgehog.
"Sorry but I ain't get' in hit by you any more!" Hang Nail grinned as he opened up his claws. He was about to bring them down when an ear-piercing yell was heard not far from where they were.
Smoke, Sonic, and Hang Nail all looked toward the direction where the scream came from. A huge dark aura could be seen engulfing the area. It was originating from none other then Tails!
The kitsune was standing in front of a huge robot. It had guns sprouting on it from all sides. There were guns even in places where there weren't suppose to be. It looked like something that could frustrate someone to the point of screaming in anger.
However, that robot sure picked the wrong person to piss off.
Tails had fought his way back to where Sonic and the others were with a huge determined spirit. Even so, his determination quickly transformed to rage, as it seemed that these robots just didn't know when to quit.
The robot Tails was standing in front of now was charging up its unnecessarily large cannons and preparing to fire. Tails was poised and ready to tear it apart when three voices came from behind and finished it for him.
"Don't touch the fox!"
Three different feet slammed into the robot's back which quickly caused it to break apart and burst into a pile of scrap.
"He's my prey!"
"He's my Kill!"
"He's my friend!"
The three landed behind Tails and quickly turned around to meet the fox in the face.
"Yo." Was all he said.
A long silence followed, if you don't count the explosions and gunfire that is.
They all looked across and aside from each other as if they were trying to carve their way into each other's soul. Try as they might they couldn't figure out what the other was thinking besides the fact that each one wanted everyone else defeated.
A second later and the four were at it again. They slammed into each other, which resulted in a huge destructive shockwave that basically cleared the nearby area of any intact buildings that may have been around.
When they broke apart Sonic and Smoke were across from each other on two ruined buildings. Sonic was about to attack Smoke when the small building he was on collapsed further unexpectedly. Obviously Smoke didn't see it coming and he toppled over the stones below, cursing as he fell to the ground.
Sonic was able to catch what caused the building to break apart. At first he thought it was because of the collision but his fast eyes couldn't be deceived. Sonic looked up and saw Tails hovering overhead with a rock bouncing in his hand.
"You saw me throw it didn't you?" Tails asked as he was cradling the stone in his hands.
"Sure did." Sonic answered with a serious tone of voice.
"Well then I guess you'll have no problem dodging this next one right!"
"Tails! Please! Just stop! I'm your-"
"Your what? Friend? I don't have any friends in this form!" Tails shouted as he shot the rock down to Sonic. The hedgehog jumped off the ruins with the expected amount of speed. Tails took after Sonic immediately after.
Sonic was running through the ruins and stones as a means of getting Tails away from all this danger. He needed to lure Tails into an area where he could get him out of that kitsune form and fast.
Sonic was close. He could feel it! He would've made it if it weren't for one little detail he didn't count on.
All of a sudden Sonic heard a shout of pain come from behind him. The hedgehog recognized the scream as Tails' and screeched to a stop. Sonic turned around and saw Tails lying on the ground with blood across his chest.
Sonic also saw bloody claws coming from behind the ancient stone that he had passed by. Sonic's eyes widened as he looked back with a much more close inspection.
Tails was lying on the ground, no longer in his kitsune form!
"HAHAHAH!! I tricked him!" Came the cackle of a certain jaguar. Hang Nail walked out from behind the stone.
"You!" Sonic said angrily. He couldn't believe what he just witnessed.
"I got all of his power now! Two-tail is my prey!" Hang Nail said as he approached the fox. Sonic immediately jumped up and sprang at the jaguar. With Tails lying on the ground in that defenseless position he had to make sure Hang Nail didn't so much as lay a finger on him.
His eyes were so focused on Hang Nail and Tails that he didn't even notice the smoke projectile coming straight at the jaguar. However, Hang Nail noticed it and he also knew that Sonic didn't!
The smoke projectile made it's way up to Hang Nail's face. The jaguar dodged it at the last second and let it pass over his head. It clearly took Sonic by surprise to suddenly see such a strong attack coming at him from out of nowhere. It was too bad though. The attack hit Sonic dead on and knocked him far and high. The hedgehog didn't stop flying until he ended up landing on top of a seemingly random and tall still-intact building.
Smoke cursed at himself for missing his target, which, of coarse, had to have been Hang Nail. He couldn't let the jaguar get to the fox before he did!
Hang Nail chuckled and looked down on Tails' unmoving body. He pulled back his claws and was about ready to take him out.
"This is it… guess you're still the worthless homeless two tail you always were!" Hang Nail shouted as he brought his claws down.
CLANG!
Clang? Hang Nail was confused. The sound of blood splattering didn't sound like clang. On closer inspection Hang Nail was able to see what had happened.
His hand had connected with a finger. A huge finger in fact. A huge, giant, metal, robotic, Eggman-made, finger!
Hang Nail looked up and saw what the robotic finger belonged to. In front of Smoke, Tails, and the shocked jaguar was a giant blue and red fighter robot. It was complete with the humongous shoulder blades and the budging built-in muscles, which complemented its looks. It had steam jetting out of the sockets in its head. The head had a window over the place where the eyes should be which showed what was inside.
What was inside happened to be a very ticked off Eggman and his little messenger boy.
"Oh… hey doctor… I was just…" Hang Nail began while rubbing the back of his neck in an awkward fashion.
"Disobeying me right?" The look on Eggman's face told the jaguar that he was pretty steamed.
"… Or boiled… heheh yeah… Eggman's a boiled egg… HAHAH I'm funny." The jaguar said quietly to himself.
"I don't know what you're laughing about but whatever it is I won't allow it. Happiness is forbidden in times of war! Especially when it's my war!"
"Hey Eggman just chill! I was just…"
"Killing my ticket to world conquest!"
"Why won't you let me finish?"
"Because I know all I'll get from you are lies. That's how I choose my partners. If they're good liars than they can easily deceive someone else for me while in turn it's impossible for them to deceive me! It's sort of an invisible pattern."
"…" Hang Nail honestly didn't know how to respond to something like that.
"Now then, back to the matter at hand! Take your claws off my robot's finger and BACK OFF!!"
Hang Nail smiled to himself and did what he was told. The doctor didn't know that he had all of Tails' kitsune powers. What he was saving was just a useless shell.
"Okay, you win doctor." Hang Nail chuckled realizing that Eggman had made one huge mistake. Giving his commanders the power to take Tails' power was not a good idea especially during times of war. It should've hit him that betrayal came often during conflicts like this.
Eggman looked satisfied when Hang Nail backed off and was about to take the fox up himself. Hang Nail saw it as his chance to grab the kid and run. After all, kitsune-less shell or not the fox was still his prey.
The jaguar saw his chance and then went for it! He lunged at Tails with his claws out ready to tear the fox apart when suddenly his vision grew clouded. It took him a few seconds to realize that it wasn't his vision that was clouded but by then it was too late.
Smokestack had succeeded in finally striking Hang Nail dead on. The jaguar was too focused on Tails' body to notice that the commander was still in his presence.
Hang Nail was sent flying just like Sonic. He didn't fly nearly as far as the hedgehog though. He landed nearby in a pile of stone twitching after he realized what had happened.
Eggman, witnessing the attack, looked down to see Smokestack there as well and he was giving Eggman his famous 'I'm totally going to kick your ass' scowl. The doctor smiled and brought back his robot's fist.
"Well if it isn't my old friend… I guess all I can say is… bring it on!!" Eggman brought the robot's fist down at Smoke, which took him by surprise. Even so, the commander dodged backward and barely missed the attack. He worriedly looked over to where the smoke from the resulting impact was to see if Tails had been hit. When enough of the smoke cleared the commander was happy to see that Tails hadn't been harmed.
"I can't let this juggernaut take my kill. I need to lure him away from the fox so he doesn't get his way. Damnit! Why is it always me?" Smoke yelled in frustration as Eggman's robot lashed out his other fist. This time he didn't pause or wait for Smokestack to get his bearings. He just kept punching and punching while the commander continued to jump back so that he could get away from the area.
"Wait a little longer fox! I swear I'll be the one to kill you!" Smoke said as he and the Eggman robot disappeared behind a wall of explosions.
Little did Smokestack know that this was the little fox's big chance for a heavily anticipated escape.

Big the cat found it very frustrating to fight and keep up with Smoke at the same time. So much so that he had actually lost track of the commander and found himself mixed up in a seemingly empty pile of ruins.
He could hear cries of pain engulf the area he was in but when he looked around he saw nobody. That changed however when a huge red robot came down from the sky, although to Big and Froggy it looked like out of nowhere, and landed in front of him with it's guns out.
"Sensors indicated a spectator nearby. Executing commands to destroy all spectators." Said the robot with a very boring and on target voice. Big didn't feel like dealing with it so he quickly tried to think of a way out of this.
"I'm no spectator I'm a… uhhhh… I'm a bystander." Big smiled at his lack of creativity. It was sort of funny. The robot however seemed to be taking what Big said into serious consideration and then bleeped out his next response.
"Executing commands to destroy all bystanders now."
"What? Even bystanders?"
"Yes. Even bystanders?"
"Okay then I'm not a bystander! I'm a cowboy!"
"All cowboys are to be destroyed as well."
"… I'm a fishermen."
"Destroy."
"Golfer."
"Destroy."
"Firemen."
"Destroy."
"Lawyer."
"… Hold on… yup even a lawyer!"
"Okay then in that case I'm Eggman's mother!" Big chuckled but stopped when he realized the robot's guns suddenly multiplied and they were all pointed at him.
"WARNING! WARNING! EGGMAN MOTHER ALERT! DESTROY IMMEDIATELY!" It boasted loudly which caught the attention of almost all the robots in the surrounding area. They quickly came to the location and pointed their hulking mass of guns at Big and Froggy.
"WHERE IS THE MOTHER!?" They all shouted in unison.
The cat stood there a bit freaked out by the fact that Eggman would actually put an alert on his robots whenever his mother was said to be nearby. Never the less he knew he had to survive so…
"He's the mother." Big pointed to the robot in front of him with the huge alert on. There was a long silence that followed. Then, all at once it would seem, the robots all fired at the one in front of Big and destroyed it. With it destroyed they called back their guns.
"Mother eradicated." They all said in unison yet again before disappearing behind the rubble they emerged from.
Big stood there for a second amazed at what just happened then decided to continue on. He didn't know just what relationship Eggman and his mom had but after seeing what just took place, he honestly didn't care.

"Great, I'm finally here." The stealthy jewel thief said as she slipped her way past the G.U.N soldiers and Eggman robots in her way. She was on yet again another mission. This time it was to simply find Smokestack. With this many people around, she wondered if she could pull it off.
"There is so much destruction going on here! Honestly what does a woman have to do in order to stay away from these battles." She may have complained but in all honesty she loved a little adventure. It was only natural that she did her part too.

"Oh man! That hurt! How come I didn't see that coming?" The battered and bruised hedgehog complained as he fought to get himself up. After dusting himself off he pushed his hands against his back hoping that it would straighten out.
He looked around and saw that he wasn't where Tails was anymore. He knew Smoke had sent him flying a long way but Sonic didn't want to believe that he wasn't anywhere near his friend anymore. The poor guy sighed.
"Guess I should've seen this coming." Sonic saw that he was on the rooftop of a worn out but really tall building. There was a nice view of the action from here. Below him he could see all the explosions, G.U.N soldiers, and robots he wanted. He looked a little farther ahead and saw what looked like a huge castle. It was glowing a dark shade or purple and it easily gave the hedgehog the creeps.
"It's huge… I wonder how far it is… I have been running a lot so it shouldn't be too far away." Sonic could tell just by looking at it that the castle was where he and everyone else fighting this war were headed. He just didn't exactly know why.
What was the story behind what was happening here? How far was everyone here willing to go so that they could reach that castle? What was the significance behind it? Why was he asking himself questions that he knew he couldn't answer?
"I guess I'll find out when I get there. No biggie!" Sonic was about to walk to the other side of the building's rooftop when he heard guns cocking behind him.
"Targeting. Targeting. Attack!" Came the voices of two Eggman robots.
Sonic turned around with his hands on his hips and a small smile plastered on his face. Despite everything that was happening there was one thing that would never change.
"The fact that Eggman knows how to keep the fun going…" Sonic said as he jumped to avoid the shots that rang out at him. Not a second later had he curled into a ball and just as easily took out the robots.
There were huge holes where their brains should be and they lay on the ground electrically sparking in defeat. Sonic looked down at them then noticed something odd. There was something still operational on the robot's chest. It was a big black screen with a huge number on it. He then noticed that the number decreased by two all of a sudden.
That's when Sonic realized what it was.
"This thing must tell Eggman's bots how many people are left standing in this war. Amazing! This number is huge but it's getting smaller and smaller by the second. War sure can be scary." Sonic said to himself.
"That's what happens in battles like this that are often measured in seconds." A deep voice came from behind him. The startled hedgehog dropped the black screen and turned around to face the person who had so rudely eavesdropped on him.
"And what are you suppose to be?" Sonic asked a little annoyed all of a sudden.
"My name is Buru. I take it your Sonic the Hedgehog correct?" Came the voice of the assassin that had the outer exterior of a bull made out of rock.
"… Correct."
"Well then it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you've prepared yourself."
"Prepared myself? For what?" Sonic asked a bit confused. He quickly got his answer when Buru charged at him like a rabid bull and slammed into the surprised hedgehog's body. Sonic stumbled back and slide across the roof, almost falling off in the process.
"Okay… I get your point…" Sonic winced in pain as Buru merely stood there with a displeased look on his face.
"You're good… any normal person would've died from a hit like that… however, it goes without saying that you wouldn't make it in the army. You're too wild and unpredictable. The army frowns upon that." Buru explained much to the hedgehog's expense.
"No fooling? Cool. I consider myself to good for you stuff shirts anyway."
"That kind of reasoning will surely be your downfall." Was Buru's answer.
"Downfall or not it's how I reason. Besides I've been doing pretty good so far. Now let me guess… you're one of those silent hulking mass destructive types… Am I right?"
"…"
"I'll take that… as a maybe…" Sonic whispered a little displeased by this man's silence. Either way it was about to get wild right where he was standing and that's just the way Sonic liked it.

Hang Nail was pissed.
The jaguar was not only the person who was being hit the most but for some reason something always had to come between him and Tails' fight. Well despite being angry he realized that nothing was going to stand in his way now.
Hang Nail made his way back to where Tails was suppose to be. He was itching to rap his claws around the poor kids neck. However, when he got there…
"Where'd he go!? Oh that figures! Trying to run away while I'm not looking eh? We'll see about that ya wussy baby!" Hang Nail said while focusing his new power into locating Tails. During the coarse of the battle Hang Nail had successfully made Tails' powers his. Now all he had to do was locate the fox and…
"Found you!" The jaguar boasted as he slammed through the ruins and made his way toward the area Tails was suppose to be. If this power was as good as Eggman made it out to be then it wouldn't be long before he had Tails' head served on a platter.
Coordinates 000: War Zone 6
Tails was surprised by how far he had managed to come considering how many people were out to kill him. He clutched his bleeding chest and hoped that it would close up like it did before. Alas that didn't happen fore Hang Nail had stolen his powers.
"I just need to find a shelter and I'll be safe… If I can just make it out of… here…" Tails wasn't sure if he was about to collapse from blood loss or not but he couldn't continue like this. It was so jolting having to walk in such an injured state. Tails didn't want to keep going but he had to, for his and Sonic's sake.
That's when Tails heard a huge crash nearby. It got louder and louder as it neared his location. Considering the amount of luck Tails had been granted during his trip here he'd say that whatever it was, it was after him.
Tails began to force his body to stride on but it did more damage then good. It wasn't long until what was chasing him finally caught up.
BAM!! A huge gust of power slammed into the ground in front of the scared fox and began to reshape itself. What it reshaped itself into was what scared Tails the most.
"Hang Nail!" Tails yelled in fear as he backed up.
"Sure am! Now how about we finish this! After all we were interrupted before. It's only natural that we should be allowed to end the fight between the two of us." Hang Nail laughed with a crazed look on his face. Tails certainly wasn't amused.
"I… don't understand…" Tails looked Hang Nail over and saw the humungous dark aura that had previously been his. "Why… why do you want to kill me this bad?"
"I thought I told ya why! It's because of you that our island was destroyed! It's your fault Slips and Silt are dead!"
"No it isn't! Eggman killed them not me!"
"I already know that!"
"Then why are you working for him?!"
"I already told you! Instead of blaming the egghead I blamed you because I figured that if I took out the source of everyone's problems than everyone who hated you on that island could rest in peace knowing that the reason Eggman killed them is dead." Hang Nail explained while taking a few nerve wrecking steps toward Tails.
"I'm… I'm not the cause of everyone's problems!"
"Ya sure about that? Cause the war dat's takin place here says different!"
"Shut up!"
"Or you'll what? You gonna cry again two-tail!"
"Stop calling me that!" Tails was clenching his fists in anger. Hang Nail was just so annoying!
"Man you're dumb! I've got all your powers and you still choose to order me around! What the hell is wrong with you!?" Hang Nail asked feeling really proud of himself. He was happy that he wasn't a baby like Tails.
"You're… the dumb one… why can't you see that what you're doing is wrong?"
"Because it isn't wrong! It's just what I do! Besides you're the dumb one! At least I know how to tell the truth when it comes to telling people of my true feelings."
"… What?"
"Don't pretend you don't know! All the people back on that island… everyone there… they all hated you… and you hated them too. Didn't you!"
"…"
"That's why you were so happy when you and Sonic left. Not only did you find the only idiot on this planet who liked you but everyone who had picked on you and neglected you were finally dead!"
"… No I…"
"That's why you hide how you really feel. You pretend to care about them and say that your sorry for what happened but in reality you couldn't be happier that they all died could ya!"
"Shut up."
"Admit it! You wanted them all dead but were too kind and wussy to accept it."
"Shut up! That isn't true! I… I tried to warn them but…"
"You only did that so you could feel better about hating them. Believe me! I know a lot when it comes to despising others."
"… You don't know anything about me!"
"So ya say! But I know more than enough! That is after all how I was able to get your powers!"
Tails didn't know what else to say. He couldn't counterattack at all. All he could do was just… die.
With Hang Nail thinking Tails no longer had anything else to say he began charging up his body. His metal legs and his metal left arm began to glow a bright red and steam soon emerged from the jaguar's body.
"If that's all ya gonna say den lets finish dis!"
Tails stood there with his head down. Was this it? He didn't have anything left. He couldn't fight anymore and his vision was blurry from all the blood that he was losing. Meanwhile, Hang Nail had all of his power at his disposal. It was over. It was hopeless.
"Sonic… I… did everything I could… but… I can't win… I'm sorry…"
Hang Nail was done charging up and he was about ready to strike. Tails continued to stand there with a look of despair on his face. It truly was over.
Tails started to have flashbacks about how he and Sonic first met. He found himself crying and chuckling at the same time. Never in his life had he imagined meeting someone as nice as Sonic. Because of Bear Mayor, Hang Nail, and everyone else on that island he easily lost faith in himself. But Sonic showed him that he should never give up hope if you were still alive and able to fight. Never give up hope just like…
"… Just like I'm doing right now…" Tails whispered to himself. Not but a second later had Hang Nail shot his entire body straight out at Tails. Hang Nail's fist was about to connect when Tails shouted out something that surprised Hang Nail.
"Punch Hang Nail in the face!" He yelled. Suddenly the confused jaguar stopped dead in his tracks, pulled back his fist, and punched himself in the face!
Hang Nail fell to the ground and grabbed at his now bleeding nose.
"W-what! What did you do?" Hang Nail didn't get it. Why'd he do that to himself!
" I was so afraid to die I had forgotten what it was that I did to defeat Karst when he took my kitsune powers!" Tails remarked as he looked up at Hang Nail with a huge grin on his face.
"What are you talking about?"
"Back when Karst took my powers I figured out that since it was still my power I could still control it! I had Karst punch himself in the face too you know!" Tails was smiling gleefully now. He remembered his fight with Karst at just the right time.
"Arrgh! Damnit! You… little… I'm gonna kill you!" Hang Nail got up and was about to charge again when Tails called out to his powers yet again.
"Now punch him in his stomach!" Tails shouted and Hang Nail did as he was told and struck himself in the stomach.
He bent over in pain as the power he had accumulated for himself was so easily turning on him.
"Punch him in his stomach again!"
Hang Nail did.
"Now in his face again!"
Hang Nail did as well. Tails started to laugh as Hang Nail began to bleed and whimper in pain as he continued. That's when Tails took it a step further.
"Now in between his legs!"
"WHAT!!" Hang Nail tried to stop himself but he couldn't control it anymore. He landed an extremely hard punch in his privet parts, which caused him to fall to the ground in tremendous pain.
"Again! Again! And Again!" The excited and cheery fox yelled as Hang Nail delivered three more punches to his private area.
Tails stopped then fell to the ground in laughter. He had always wanted to do that to Hang Nail but had never been given a decent opportunity to. This was such a lucky day all of a sudden!
Hang Nail; however, was more then less than amused. He stood up slowly with his hands covering his crotch and winced in pain as he faced his target.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? DAMNIT!!"
Tails let his laughter reduce to a small chuckle as he stood up to meet Hang Nail face to face. One face was wincing from the pain while the other was trembling and trying to hold back his laughter.
"You think that's funny eh? You think you can do somethin' like dat ta me and get away with it! Huh!? Do ya!?"
Tails didn't answer. If he tried to he would've let all his laugher escape. Tails had never felt so dominate in his life! It felt sweet!
Hang Nail began to contemplate his next move. He found it very hard to think of one with his crotch hurting so badly and the idea that Tails had control over his power drilling at his brain.
'Even so… he may be able to control my power… but I can still control it as well… I guess I have no choice! I need to end this quick before he can control me again!'
"So Hang Nail, should we keep going!" Tails asked with obvious confidence.
"..."
"… Hang Nail?"
"HEHEHEHH! HAHAHAHAHAH!! I've got it! I know what to do now!" He began laughing like a maniac as he held his hands out at Tails. He began to draw up all his power into both of his arms while Tails stood there with a confused look on his face.
"Whatever you're planning to do… I'll just stop you before you can do it!" Tails declared as sweat began to roll down the side of his face. Something told him that doing that was going to be easier said then done.
"I know what to do now! Just try and stop me two-tail!" Hang Nail boasted as he continued to charge up both his mechanical arm and his non-mechanical arm. Tails was ready. He was about to open his mouth to say something but then stopped.
Out of nowhere Tails felt an enormous pressure being put on his body. The strain was quickly becoming unbearable and he fell to his knees in agony.
"What… what's going on?"
"HA! I knew it! You fell for it!" The jaguar shouted clearly proud of himself.
"Wh-what are you talking about? What did you do?"
"Heheheh! I'm amazed you don't get it what with that huge brain of yours. I figured out that since our powers are linked and that you're able to control my body… that I'm able to control yours as well."
"What… N-no… let me go." Tails grabbed his head in pain as Hang Nail kept putting more pressure on it.
"It's useless. Just like before, when I couldn't attack because you had control over me, you can't attack because I have control over you! Boy I'm sure glad it works both ways! Too bad Karst couldn't figure that out. He'd probably still be alive if he did!" Hang Nail said while increasing his spiritual pressure on Tails' mind.
Tails began to cry out in pain. There was so much pressure on his head! He couldn't bare it any longer!
"Yeah that's right! Cry! Cry like the baby you are!" Hang Nail was satisfied with the way things were going now. All he had to do was keep Tails like this long enough for him to win.
'Okay, now that the fox is down I need to fire this charged attack. I've been saving it up for long enough. It may cost me a lot of power but I don't have much choice but to use it. The second I let him go he's free to stop my attack. I've got to make sure it hits him dead on or I'm screwed!' Hang Nail began to sweat. Never in his life had he imagined that Tails would actually make him struggle.
"I… I know what… you're trying to do… it won't work…" Tails said in obvious pain.
"Err! You shut your mouth!"
"If… you fire that blast at me… then you'll not only waste more than half your power… b-but… you'll injure yourself too!" Tail struggled to get out.
"Yeah right! You're bluffing! The metal on me is strong enough to survive the recoil of the blast! The only one who's going to get hurt is you! Now die like a good baby!"
Tails struggled to gain control over his body again but found it almost impossible. Even so, he wouldn't allow himself to give up. Giving up after making it this far was out of the question!
Both of Hang Nail's hands were out and the charging was complete. It was time to fire Hang Nail's new attack.
"Now! Fire! Surudoi Assault blast!" Hang Nail shouted as his glowing arms fired a huge red power blast straight out at Tails' subdued body.
Tails saw a huge bright red light come out at him. He knew he had to dodge. But he couldn't move! It was getting closer and he couldn't move!
"I won't give up. I will not give up!" Tails shouted as the blast made its way toward him. It was too late for Tails to dodge it. Even if it wasn't he wasn't able to move. He was stuck. There was only one thing he could do…
Hang Nail watched as the blast hit Tails dead on. A huge explosion of red light met Hang Nail's excited gaze. He did it! Hang Nail finally got rid of the pest!
"I may not have done it the way I wanted to but… all that matters is that he's dead now! Which also means his power is mine! It's all mine now!"
The jaguar began laughing at his victory over the fox that had caused him so much pain in what he called his 'baby-producing factory.'
"HAHAHAH! Finally! You're finally dead! Finally, finally dead! HAHAH!!" Hang Nail had to hold his head in order to keep his laughing under control. The black smoke was clearing and he was sure that nothing would be there.
Needless to say it disappointed him to see Tails still there.
"That blast should've obliterated his body… don't tell me…"
"Hey… Hang Nail…" Tails said as he sat on his knees with his hands out just like Hang Nail's hands had been. He was huffing and puffing and it goes without saying that he was dirty but he was in fact very much alive!
"What did you do!? How could you have-?"
"I did what you did. I held out my hands and since it was my power I was able to suck it back into my body! Pretty cool right?"
Hang Nail was speechless. He couldn't believe this. He just wasted half his power just so the fox could take it from him. This wasn't fair! The red veins in Hang Nail' eyes looked as if they were going to sprout and take over his pupils. His teeth were clenched so hard against each other that he could've sworn that they had cracked a bit.
"There's… just no way… You shouldn't have… been able to move!"
"But I did…"
"Cut the crap! CUT IT! I'm not taking this from you anymore! I don't care about slowly killing you for fun anymore! I just want you to DIE ALREADY!!" Hang Nail said while throwing both his arms up again.
Tails was surprised to see him do this. Was he crazy?
"Hey wait a minute! What are you doing?" Tails looked a little creeped out by what lengths Hang Nail was going
"Shut up! I'll kill you!" The jaguar didn't listen.
That's when he felt it. His non-mechanical arm literally began to painfully twist. The bones in his arm broke apart and almost turned to dust. His arm turned red this time because the blood in it was pushing up against his skin trying to break out and not because he was powering up.
"ARRGH! WHAT THE HELL!! MY ARM!!" The jaguar shouted as he grabbed at it in pain. Tails looked on in fear. He knew the recoil would be bad but…
"I… tried to warn you… your mechanical limbs might be able to take the recoil but your regular ones…"
"Be quiet! Don't… lecture me on how to use my power you… ARRGH! DAMNIT!!"
Tails wasn't sure if it was pity he was feeling for Hang Nail or not but if I was it quickly went away when Hang Nail did what he did next.
"Fine! I'll just kill you with my feet! Since they're both mechanical I've got nothin' ta worry about!" Hang Nail said immediately charging all of his remaining power into his legs. Immediately they began to glow bright red and steam jetted from below his feet.
Tails didn't want to admit it but he was right. Right or not he wasn't going to give up on this fight.
"If you think you can… then go for it… Prissy!"
"I told you not to call me- Errrr!" Hang Nail almost lost it again but then quickly bit his hand. Tails watched as blood dripped from Hang Nail's hand on to the ground.
'I need to calm down… just calm down…' He said to himself as he took his hand away.
"Okay… you asked for it… even though I was gonna give it to you even if you didn't ask…"
Tails gulped and readied himself.
"All right… Here I come Two-tail!" Hang Nail jumped off the ground, with his legs literally radiating, and shot himself down at Tails. The fox quickly dodged to the side letting Hang Nail slam into the ground and pull up the dirt.
Despite his dodging, Tails was sent flying into one of the walls of the buildings surrounding them. Tails fell to the ground and was about to rub his back from the pain when he saw Hang Nail fly at him yet again. The jaguar made his way toward the fox with his heated legs and once again He rammed into the buildings and sent stones flying everywhere.
Tails rolled a bit and stopped himself. He panted and tried to regain control over himself. Throughout all the excitement Tails had forgotten that he had been seriously injured before. The open wound on his chest and the blood slowly seeping out of it should've been enough to inform Tails that he had to end this fight quickly or else he'd keel over.
He was lucky that it was. Tails began drawing out a plan to try and defeat Hang Nail. It would've been easy if his vision would just focus long enough for him to get enough information on his surrounding area in order to make it work.
"Take this!" Hang Nail yelled as he came down on Tails again. This time the fox dived forward and ran to the pile of stones that had accumulated when Hang Nail had crashed into the building that was previously there.
That's when it hit Tails. He looked down at the stones that were there then quickly looked across to the area where Hang Nail's radiated feet had landed. As expected a huge pile of stones were there as well.
"…I think… I have an idea but… I need to get my timing right for it to work." Tails whispered to himself. Hang Nail quickly jumped from the area he was at and came down at Tails again.
"Damn you! Stay in one place already!" Hang Nail was clearly to frustrated to actually consider thinking up a plan. He was going to continue to do the same thing over and over, which helped Tails more than it did Hang Nail.
He landed behind the pile of stone Tails was in front of and the fox hurriedly ran toward the pile of stone that Hang Nail had just created. When Hang Nail landed the huge flaming shockwave he created pushed all the stones toward Tails' direction. They landed just before they reached him luckily.
"That was a little too close. My plan can't work if I'm crushed."
"Gotcha now!" Hang Nail was coming down again. It had taken less time than his first jump. Tails quickly got himself moving again. So that Hang Nail landed behind the piles of stones and created another shockwave that caused them to huddle together next to the other stones.
Tails just smiled to himself. "It's working."
Tails continued this process until an amazing pile of stones was piled up together. Hang Nail had finally stopped his excessive jumping around so that he could take in a deep breath.
"I keep hopping around but I'm not getting anywhere." Hang Nail looked over at Tails and saw the fox climb up on the pile of stone that had accumulated over the coarse of Hang Nail's jumping.
Once Tails had climbed to the top he dusted his legs off then began the final roots of his plan.
"Hey Hang Nail! What's wrong! Is your stamina less than a wussy four-year-old fox! What does that make you huh?" Tails insulted Hang Nail, which took a lot of muster for him to bring up in order for him to do. As expected the jaguar quickly grew angry.
"WHAT… DID … YOU… SAY TO ME!!" Hang Nail turned to face Tails dead on. The jaguar looked like a mess. He was sweaty and his fur was matted together. His eyes twitched from anger and pain at the same time. His left arm was a wreck to say the least. And to top it all off, throughout this entire thing… Tails only had three claw marks on his stomach to show for their fight!
Tails sensed Hang Nail's disapproval of how the situation had progressed but knew full well that there was nothing he could do about it now. He had plenty of chances to take Tails out and be done with it but because of his gloating and self-proclaimed dominance over him he ended up like this.
Tails was letting everything ride on Hang Nail's next move. It would be the worst possible time for the jaguar to suddenly grow a brain and attack with a strategy.
Meanwhile Hang Nail began thinking about how it came to this. When he was back on the island he wasn't even a half-robot and even then he still excelled in strength and speed compared to Tails. He was only a baby fox after all. It seemed only natural.
But somehow here he is! He's actually in worse shape than the fox. Here he is stronger than he was back on the island and somehow he was losing to the fox while he wasn't even in his kitsune form! It seemed straight up impossible! It made Hang Nail angry just thinking about it!
"You… you… It's … It's because of you that … I'll never use my left arm again…"
"Your wrong you stupid bully." Tails said with a serious look on his face. It made Hang Nail want to puke. The way he could just all of a sudden stand up to him like this baffled him.
"Excuse me… how am I wrong?"
"You brought everything that happened here on yourself! It's your fault that arm can never be used again and if you think differently than… than you're just a crybaby!"
"Crybaby?"
"Yeah! A crybaby who blames things that he doesn't like on someone else!" Tails was sweating bullets as he said those words. He knew there was no turning back so he finally decided to spill out how he really thought of Hang Nail right here and now!
"… You're calling me a crybaby? Since when do you have the balls to-?"
"You're also a bad liar when it comes to food! You teeth look awful! And you smell like socks! And when I first saw you I miss took you for a cow because I thought they were the only animals with spots on their bodies at the time…" Tails admitted.
Hang Nail didn't care why he would say those things now out of all times but he was insulted just the same.
"Talk all you want! It doesn't change who you are! Your just a loser who got lucky when he met the idiotic former hero of this boring planet!"
"… You're the loser… I actually have a friend… I mean friends... who like me for who I am… you've got nothing like that now because you were a big mean bully!"
"Only to you ya freak!"
"So what! When everyone died after Eggman destroyed the island I found new friends! You didn't! I got stronger while you sold your body parts to Eggman so you could feel stronger! I'm gonna win this fight! Not you! That's why you're the loser!" Tails shouted in a clearly angered tone.
A long silence between them followed.
'That … felt … GREAT!' Tails thought in his head. It was so awesome that he could finally tell Hang Nail off all he wanted.
Hang Nail completely lost it after Tails had said those words.
"… That's it… I've taken your lip for about as long as I can handle … I swear … I'll kill you and when I do I'll dance on your corpse than steal your left arm for myself! That's the only option you have! The option of ending up a lifeless corpse! YOU'RE DEAD TWO TAIL!!"
Tails stood his ground and watched as Hang Nail charged up his feet to the max.
'I won't be beat… not by this submissive crybaby…' Hang Nail thought as he recalled all those times back on the island.
All those times where he completely dominated the fox! All those times he had humiliated him and treated him like a baby! All those times he beat him up mercilessly!
They had all led to this point! He was determined for his final fight with Tails to end like it began; with Tails being the loser!
'I won't be beat…' Hang Nail repeated in his head as Tails braced himself.
'… Not by this crybaby…' His legs began to radiate heat to it's extreme.
'… Not by this loser…' Hang Nail bent down while Tails focused his eyes on the jaguar. They both knew that this was it!
'I defidently won't be beat…' Hang Nail literally blasted himself off the ground and launched himself over Tails and his pile of stone.
'… I won't be beat! NOT BY HOMELESS TWO TAIL!!'
Hang Nail sent shot his body down towards Tails; attempting to create the biggest crater he possibly could where the fox stood.
Tails immediately freaked out when he saw how fast Hang Nail was coming at him. He flailed around the stones a bit before running away from them. It was too close!
Luckily Tails was able to make it out of Hang Nail's way as the jaguar slammed into the pile of stone. The shockwave that resulted was in a word, unpleasant.
Tails found the forceful gust of cool wind crash against his body and felt as it sent his body crashing through a building.
The impact could be heard miles away and it was a good thing too. Somewhere on a rooftop fighting a huge bull-like man, a certain blue hedgehog's ears twitched. He all of a sudden knew that wherever that explosion came from there was something important there. He just didn't know what.
After a few minutes of heavy smoke and the sound of heat fizzling, Tails recovered from the piles of stone he had crashed into and stood up. After dusting himself off he looked over at the area where Hang Nail was and silently prayed that his plan had worked.
Maybe asking that he lived and that his plan had worked was a bit of a stretch but he'd be dead if it didn't work so…
Tails came up on the area and looked down. The stone that he had tricked Hang Nail into accumulating together had turned to molten rock. Not only that but because of the force of the impact the molten rock was rapidly solidifying.
"Wow… my kitsune powers sure know how to get the job done… I just hope…" Tails took a few more cautious steps into the heavy smoke that had almost completely cleared.
When the smoke finally did. Tails' jaw dropped… and soon after a grin appeared on his face.
Hang Nail coughed as the black smoke made it's way past him and then disappeared completely. He looked ahead of himself and saw Tails standing there with a weird grin on his face.
"What are you grinning at Two-Tail! I'm obviously not done yet! Just wait till I get-" Hang Nail tried to move his legs but something was wrong. He couldn't move his legs. Hang Nail was confused until he looked down and saw his current position.
"My legs… and that stone… they're…"
The jaguar was completely freaked out to see that his metal legs had melted into a liquid that quickly fused with the stone and solidified! His legs had melted around the stone and he was now apart of the ground! He couldn't move!
"I'm stuck! My legs won't move! This-This isn't happening!" Hang Nail suddenly realized why that grin on Tails' face looked so weird. It was grin he thought he'd never see on the fox's face.
On his face, Tails was wearing an evil grin!
Hang Nail began to sweat as he realized what this meant. He was trapped! He could no longer fight while Tails was free to do anything he wanted to him! Anything!
Tails' evil grin widened. He'd never been so satisfied in his life! Seeing Hang Nail like this was simply too amazing to possibly be true! But it was true!
How ironic it was that Hang Nail's metal upgrade was what led to his downfall!
Tails began to walk up close to Hang Nail with the huge grin still on his face. Hang Nail began to sweat as the fox got closer.
"Wh-what do you think your doing?" Hang Nail's voice showed obvious worry. Tails couldn't be any happier that it did.
"I'm going to do what I've always wanted to do ever since I met you!" Tails' usual kindhearted demeanor had disappeared. To him Hang Nail was just a jaguar shaped punching bag now.
"W-wait! Hold on!"
"For what! You're not scared are you? You gonna cry?"
"I-I…"
"Who's the loser now? I was right you were just a big crybaby after all!"
"Please j-just l-let me go! I promise I won't bother you again! Really!" Hang Nail didn't even try to keep his tough guy act going anymore. He was at Tails' mercy now! Nothing was going to change that.
"HAHAHAH! You're funny! Thinking that I'd let a chance like this pass by after all the bad stuff you did to me is stupid even for you ya big crybaby bully!" Tails knew being teased by someone so many years younger than you had to be humiliating which, of coarse, was why he was doing it.
"N-no! Please stop! I take everything back! I'm sorry! I mean it!" Hang Nail didn't want this. He had nothing to boast about anymore! He was reduced to begging for it was the only choice he had. However, Tails had no intention of listening to any of his begging. He always knew that Hang Nail had been hiding his true self behind his bullying exterior. Finally it showed and even though it would be cool if every kid on that island were here to see this, Tails had no regrets because it only mattered if HE witnessed it.
"I hope you're ready!" Tails said as he began delivering what he called his payback!
In short Tails began to beat the scared crap out of Hang Nail.
He didn't stop until he was sure it had been more than 30 minutes of this pain. When Tails finally stopped beating on him he looked the jaguar over and saw how completely messed up he looked. His arm was no longer useable and his legs were melted into the ground. His face was bruised from Tails' punches and his eyes…
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe it! Hang Nail's actually crying!" Tails watched as the jaguar began to fidget in anger. Tears had indeed escaped his eyes during the coarse of Tails' beating and he couldn't even express how humiliating it was.
Usually when Tails saw someone in this condition he would feel sorry for them but in this case…
"HAHAHAHAH! Guess that makes you the crybaby!" Tails' teasing was merciless and with each word he spoke the more flustered Hang Nail got.
"ERRR! Please! Just help me out! Let me go! I'm sorry for everything I did just let me go!!" Hang Nail's begging was both amusing and annoying to Tails. The fox knew for a fact that he wasn't sorry for anything that he had done throughout the coarse of this thing. He just wanted to be let free so he could betray him and find someone else to pick on to make himself feel better about the fact that he was the real crybaby.
"No! I won't let you go! You don't deserve to be let go! You'll just hurt more people! I won't let that happen!" Tails said as he jumped up into the air and allowed his evil grin to resurface.
"Wh-what are you doing!" Hang Nail began to struggle as he saw Tails fly directly above his head.
"I'm gonna knock you out so bad that you won't ever want to move from there again!"
"You're gonna do what?"
Tails curled himself into a ball like he'd seen Sonic do so many times and let himself rocket toward Hang Nail. All the while Hang Nail had been struggling and trying to force his way out of the ground.
"WAIT! STOP! I'M SORRY!! REALLY!! I PROMISE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!! PLEASE STOP!!"
Tails ignored all of Hang Nail's cries as he came down on the jagaur. Before he collided against Hang Nail's head he uncurled himself and let his foot drop down and slam hard against the top of the pleading jaguar's head, which quickly silenced him. Tails couldn't help but let all of his excitement escape.
"PAYBACK … TASTES … DELICIOUS!!
That was longer than the other chapters wasn't it? I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review and tell me how you liked it!
