Ark-Fox Chapter 14
Thanks to prowerboy, Sierra Zanimalina14 and FeathersofMemory for reviwing the last chapter.
Sorry for the small chapter under 1000 words, but... well wait I'm not sorry!
If you don't get the difficult questions bit, cast ya memory back to the first chapter.
Only a true genius could ever hate them... the difficult questions.
As he lay here wide awake in his room aboard the Ark, Tails briefly wondered why he didn't think to add a portable computer and a hologram screen to his watch. Why?
Why, was the worst difficult question of all, especially given these crappy circumstances.
The young kitsune had managed to hide the portable hard drive containing every file on the Ark in one of his tails; unfortunately he was locked in his room with no way out. The door was unpickable on this side as heavy magnetic locks held the door in place and could only be activated from the other side.
Ironic really, he had all the answers he could want in his hand, but had no way of accessing them. Realising this was getting him nowhere; Tails embraced the oddly comforting padded floor. "I have to remember to get something like this back home." Tails thought, wrapping his tails around him to use as a blanket while using his elbow as a pillow.
One minute later, Doom's Eye heard the soft purr like snoring of the kitsune as he watched on from the small ventilation shaft near the ceiling. Without a doubt, this was an older version of Miles, even if he went by the name 'Tails' now. Strangely, he didn't seem to wield any of his powers. "Although, he did force the hedgehog to forget his past, could he of done the same to himself!"
A single thought emanated through his mind, and Black Doom knew the situation instantly, being connected to his master like this did have its perks.
"What is this thing Dr?" Bocoe asked.
"The Chaos readings on this thing are off the chart!" Bocoe's counterpart Docoe said astonished.
"Fools... didn't you read the files I gave you!" Eggman growled before smacking the two on the head with a giant comical hammer that would make Amy envious.
"Dr..." Bokkun whined, before backing up in terror at the look he was now receiving from Dr Eggman. "... those files were like, 400 pages long!" he continued, before suddenly being smashed into the wall opposite.
"OH HO HO HO!" Eggman laughed with triple exclamation marks. Bokkun spent the next ten seconds pulling his head out of the wall which reinforced the evil doctor's laughter. Once his laughter had subsided Eggman sat down and continued, much to the relief to the robots heads if you excluded the general ear area.
"Well I guess I can't blame you, I did make you to be mindless subordinates after all..."
"HEY!" Bocoe shouted, ducking just in time for a mallet to miss him. Eggman just ignored him after that and continued speaking, smacking the giant hammer in his hands to order silence.
"... This thing as you put it Bocoe!" Eggman started, adding emphasised anger to the robots name "... is the key!" Eggman paused, waiting for someone to interrupt him, which to his great surprise didn't happen, disgruntled he continued. "It's an ancient alien device that taps into the Chaos Emeralds power!" Eggman said proudly, holding up a thin silver cylinder, engravings in an unreadable text decorated the surface beautifully and if you looked close enough a small white glow was visible in these words.
Eggman looked around, both Bocoe and Docoe were silent to Eggman's dismay, he wanted a exclamation or crazy question of some kind from them which he would of answered while ignoring the fact they spoke "And people say I'm not nice!" Eggman thought. He decided to take his anger out on Bokkun who was struggling to open a candy wrapper, clearly not paying attention.
'CLANG!'
"OW!"
"OH HO HO HO!"
Placing the giant hammer on the table with a smile, Eggman continued. "The key... once I find out how to use it... will allow me to absorb ten times as much Chaos Energy from an emerald, and if I get all 7 emeralds... OH HO HO HO! The universes ultimate power is unleashed!"
Demonstrating the power of the key, Eggman pulled out the blue Chaos Emerald, and brought it close to the key, seconds later a high pitched whine was heard, wisely Bocoe, Docoe and Bokkun jumped behind cover, just as yellow energy engulfed the room.
When the smoke cleared, Dr Eggman was covered in soot, his glasses askew and his moustache bent, broken and on fire.
"Ouch!"
Fluffy couldn't help but perform the Flicky form of laughter, which is to say 'chirp chirp chirp-chirp chirp chirp-chirp.' Before shutting up and quickly regaining his silence.
Coincidently, no one noticed (that is to say) the small group of ants now drawing what appeared to be cave paintings in a hole in the wall.
Tails awoke with a start, quickly shaking the feeling that somewhere, somehow, someone just made a fool of themselves.
Though waking up turned out to be a show a new problem, Tails was an early riser, Sonic was not.
"This sucks!" Tails pouted.
Looking around the room for what seemed like the hundredth time, Tails failed to see an escape from his personal hell. The only visible way out from here apart from the door was a ventilation tube near the ceiling, one he would have been able to fit into at one point of time, that time being when he was two.
Tails sighed. Upon the walls leading up to the vent was claw marks; a clear indication the vent was indeed an exit. Falling backwards onto the soft bedding area, Tails growled like a primal animal, there had to be another way out of here, and he'll find it if he had to tear up every part of this loony cell.
Tails thoughts were interrupted however when a heavy clicking sound was heard from the door, Sonic actually woke up early for once.
sorry again for the small chapter size, but my cat's being a royal pain in my ass, taking up the armrest, annoying cat things, etc, etc.
