(I meant to finish and post Chapter One the day after the Introduction, but family issues came up and work was pushed back a little. Here's Chapter Two!
Oh, and happy 30th anniversary to The Empire Strikes Back, y'all!)
"This is the tale of a man who has yet to realize what his destiny is.
"Sonic The Hedgehog and Miles 'Tails' Prower live in an underground village.
"After his failed attempt to escape from Knothole, Sonic is thrown into jail.
"Tails breaks Sonic out to reveal something he had dug up.
"Just as Chief Ivo is going to severely punish Sonic for jailbreak, a large metallic face falls into Knothole Village, shattering their daily routine..."
CHAPTER TWO:
Bust through the Heavens with your Drill!
Sonic pointed up into the shining hole where the Canopy used to be.
"See that?" he said, a wide grin on his face. "That's the surface! What did I tell you? There is a surface, and this big face fell from the surface! From above the ceiling! Ain't that right, Eggman?"
Then the face rose, scattering boulders about the hub as it swung its limbs about, eventually managing to work its way upright. On its feet, the giant head produced a large club from behind its back. Villagers fled deeper into their tunnels, seeking sanctuary from the "monster", as their cries of fear seemed to indicate what they thought of it.
Only Sonic showed no fear. He stood over Chief Ivo, who was quivering in fear, looking past the blue hedgehog to the giant face. His katana lay forgotten beside him.
"Hey, what's wrong, Eggman?" Sonic sneered. "I thought it was your job to protect the village. Y'know, judging from our positions right now, it's kinda hard to tell which one of us is the liar, huh?"
Chief Ivo ignored Sonic; the big face was the bigger issue.
Scoffing, Sonic planted a foot underneath the sheath of the katana and kicking it up into the air. It spun in the air for several seconds, before Sonic caught it by the hilt and rested it on his shoulder.
Tails ran up to Sonic, pointing frantically at a tunnel.
"Sonic, hurry! We gotta hide! This way!"
Sonic strode in the direction of the giant face, ignoring Tails's protests.
"Sonic?" Tails was filled with a black panic; Sonic was going to get himself killed if he got near that thing!
Sonic stood on a mound of rock and earth, in clear view of the giant face. It stood and stared at him; he rested exactly between its giant eyes.
"You got some real guts plowing into my village and causing all this trouble, you know that?" Sonic said, pointing at the giant face.
Tails was filled with such fear and horror at the events which had just unfolded that he could barely get any coherent words out. All that came out was, "R-r-run!"
Sonic didn't hear.
"But that stops here! I won't allow you to cause any more trouble in Knothole!"
Then the giant face's jaws parted.
"Wha-...? Who the hell are you?" came a great rumbling voice.
The jaws closed.
Realization broke through Tails.
"It can talk!" he said.
Sonic said, "Well then, clean out your ears and listen real close!"
Sonic pointed to the disc of light where the Canopy once was...
"The bad reputation of the Freedom Fighters echoes far and wide in Knothole Village!"
...then pointed at the giant face again...
"When you hear them talking about its badass leader..."
...then flicked the sheath off of the katana...
"...that man of indomitable spirit, that paragon of masculinity, that sample of hedgehog perfection..."
...then rested the parrying edge of the katana on his shoulder, where the blade glinted in the light. His green eyes glinted behind his red shades!
"...they're talking about me, Sonic The Hedgehog!"
Dead silence reigned over Knothole Village in that instance. Apart from the occasional mutter heard from the recently ousted members of the Freedom Fighters of What an idiot and Dumbass and Gonna get himself killed.
But Tails was so encouraged by Sonic's lack of fear in the face of this impossible foe that he couldn't help but smile, even as he thought Sonic's dead.
"I will not tolerate any further wrongdoings in my village! Let's rock and roll!"
The giant face's jaws parted again, and a laugh echoed out. "What can a puny Möbian like you possibly do to harm me?"
Tails barely had time to think Möbian? before he heard a loud bang.
A small crack appeared in the giant face's carapace.
Bang. A flash of blue light near the former Canopy.
Sonic and Tails looked up at its source.
Bang. The flash of blue light again. Lower this time. There was a lithe shape that it came from, attached to a thin line near the lip of the Canopy.
Someone was attacking the giant face.
Not someone from Knothole.
The attacker swung around on a rope longer than either Sonic or Tails had seen, firing those bright flashes of blue light at the giant face with a loud bang with each shot, before rappelling down to the lowest level of the hub and skidding to a stop directly in front of Sonic and Tails.
It was a woman, of mixed chipmunk and squirrel heritage from her looks. She had her red hair tied into a ponytail. She wore a blue vest over a flame-decal bra, black short-shorts, and blue boots. She carried a large rifle; this was how she was firing.
She turned to face Sonic and Tails; she had wonderful blue eyes behind her eye-protection goggles.
"Alright, you two! Get back!" she said to them.
Sonic let out a long whistle. "Something else from the surface?"
"Yeah," Tails said. "A woman this time."
Bang. She was firing again.
Bang. Twice, apparently. At this close range, Tails's sensitive fox ears were ringing.
The giant face fell back from the girl's shots.
raw! raw! fight the power!
The girl began to run around the fallen giant face, depositing a smoking shell on the ground from the rifle's loading chamber.
"I only knocked it onto its back. It can still get up and attack!"
"Yo, babe! How ya doin'?" came a voice from her left.
"What?" the girl turned; it was the blue hedgehog from before. He was keeping pace with her, and giving her a look that showed too much interest for her comfort.
Civilians were not supposed to be out on the battlefield.
"So you're fighting that big mug? Let me give you a hand!"
Or helping her out.
She hid behind a large boulder, opposite the giant face.
"So you're from the surface, right?" he said, his eyes eagerly looking up and down her body.
"Pretty much," she replied curtly.
"Cool! So that's a weapon that they use on the surface?"
"Not everyone, but yeah." Geez. She was just trying to reload her rifle here, and this pervert of a hedgehog was-
"Wow, you got a nice body! Surface chicks are a breed apart!"
Enough was enough. The girl glared at the blue hedgehog.
"Do I have to tell you twice to run? Do you have a death wish?"
A shadow fell over them. Her eyes widened. She and the hedgehog looked up.
The giant face had raised its club and brought it down on them.
raw! raw! fight the power!
Sonic and the girl lay in front of Tails. He'd dug a hole when Sonic started chasing the sniper girl, and followed the sounds of them running until they stopped, then dug out the earth underneath them until it couldn't support their weight and they fell through.
Sonic said, "Thanks, Tails! Nice save."
"Hurry, this way!" he said, pointing down the tunnel he'd just dug. Kukku mimicked his master, going, "Cha-chao!"
It was dark and cramped, but Tails's digging goggles reflected light at many times the intensity than when it struck them, and it was sort of an emergency situation, so Sonic and the girl didn't complain.
"So where is this?" she asked after a few minutes of cramped crawling.
"Knothole Village," came Sonic's voice from the rear.
"Oh, so this is the pit next door," she said.
"'Next door'?" asked Sonic, disappointment evident in his tone.
"I hail from Acorn Village, the village next to yours."
"What? I thought you said you came from the surface!"
"I said I came down from the surface just now, but I was originally born in Acorn."
Tails emerged from the tunnel where he'd originally begun digging it.
Sonic's voice echoed up just as the girl emerged.
"Geez, you're a pit chick? Move it, thunder thighs!"
She grabbed her thighs in indignancy, flushing as Sonic emerged behind her.
"What's with the sudden change in attitude?"
Tails beckoned them to follow. "This way!"
The girl, settling down, asked as they clambored up a ladder to the next level, "So, where exactly are you taking us?"
"The face!" Tails said, leading them down a thin hallway. The ladder up was the quickest way to the downward paths to the thing he'd dug up.
"The face?" asked the girl, her breasts pressing against the wall as she edged along sideways.
"The humongous face!" Tails added, dropping down a ladder-hole to a room with a window into the hub. The giant face was stomping around, looking for - a way out? people to kill? Who knew?
"You mean a Gizoid?" the girl asked, dropping down next to Tails.
"What the hell's a 'Gizoid'?" Sonic asked her, landing next to her.
"That is," she said, pointing at the giant face out the window.
Then she set up her sniper rifle.
"Just a minute. I can target its power conduits from here. If I nail them, it'll stop him dead in his tracks." After a moment of aiming, she smirked, "Alright!"
That's when Sonic jumped up in front of the rifle, facing the Gizoid.
"Hey! You big old lump! We're about to take you down in one shot, so say your prayers!"
The Gizoid began to turn to face them, and the girl hastily fired off two shots - Bang-Bang. - before the Gizoid put its club through the wall.
Fortunately, they'd dropped down another ladder-hole.
"What in the world was that for?" the girl shouted at Sonic.
"A man looks his opponent in the eye when he delivers the killing blow!" he replied as he leapt down another hole after Tails.
"I'm a woman, thank you very much!" she shouted after him.
"A woman shouldn't be getting involved in a fight between two men," Sonic retorted as the three of them crawled through Tails's tunnel, Kukku flitting ahead.
"I was the one who was fighting that thing first, just so you know!" the girl replied as Tails went ahead to the thing he'd dug up and waited for them to catch up. He'd dug out a small room around it when he dug it out, so that Sonic would be suitably impressed.
Tails heard the smirk in Sonic's reply.
"You got spunk, girl. I like your style!"
As Sonic and the girl entered the small dug-out chamber, they gasped.
Admittedly, it bore very little similar features to a face. It was a large yellow ball large enough for Chief Ivo to sit inside comfortably, with darker yellow discs on either side where ears would be on a human. A large, darker-yellow crest doubled the face's height, and in the middle was a small, roundish protrusion roughly the same size as one of its blank, blue eyes. On its back was some sort of downward-facing turbine.
"This is it? This is the thing you wanted to show me?" Sonic asked blankly.
"Yep!" Tails said brightly.
Sonic gave a thumbs-up.
"This makes two awesome things you've dug up now, big guy," he grinned.
Tails chuckled to himself, scratching the back of his head.
"I wonder if it's a friend of the Gizoid outside?" asked the girl.
"It doesn't look dangerous," said Sonic, smirking as he scratched his head. "Besides, I like this thing's face."
"But look at this!" said Tails, showing one thing he'd uncovered about this face he'd dug up: he flipped himself along the rim around the level of the top its eyes, and sat in the seat inside its head. Inside, there were a pair of grips which Tails assumed were the controls for this thing. In front of the seat, there was a circular display directly opposite the protrusion on the face's crest.
"You can ride in it?" asked the girl. "But how...?"
"Sonic!" Tails said eagerly, facing his surrogate brother. "Let's use this thing to take out the big thing out there!"
"Let's waste it," smirked Sonic.
Tails nodded. That thing would be no match for Sonic once he got out there in this thing!
"But are you sure it's a good idea to use this thing when you don't even know how it works?" asked the girl. She was asking a lot of questions about this thing.
"Come on, Sonic!" Tails said, preparing to jump out of the head. "You can use this thing to-..."
Tails's drill pendant began to pulse with a green light. The face's eyes began to pulse green in time with the drill, and a small slit in the ball set in the face's crest began to pulse as well.
"It's working!" Tails said excitedly, grinning as he looked down at the face.
"But how...?" said the girl.
Tails faced Sonic.
"Come on, Sonic!"
Sonic was suddenly pensive, his arms folded. After a long moment, he uncrossed his arms and faced Tails.
"You do it, Tails."
In four words, Tails's spirits plummeted. Sonic wasn't gonna use this thing to take out that thing that was trashing their village? And instead, he was asking Tails to do it? All Tails knew how to do was dig holes; it's not like he was good at fighting or holding his ground or anything, like Sonic was!
"You're the one who dug this thing up, Tails," Sonic said, that grin back on his face. "That means that this thing is yours!"
"But, Sonic...!"
"What?" Sonic replied, crossing his arms importantly. "Do you really think that Sonic The Hedgehog could steal stuff from his little brother? Who the hell do you think I am?"
"But I can't do it! It's impossible!"
"Come on, Tails! Don't be a dumbass!" Sonic said, clenching his fist. "We kick common sense out and go beyond the impossible! That's how the Freedom Fighters do things, remember?"
Tails was silent. So was the girl, who seemed to have run out of questions. In the distance, they could hear the distant Gizoid thrashing about, likely looking for those agitators who had tried shooting and shouting at it.
"Just pilot the damn thing!" said Sonic, pushing Tails back into the seat, before sitting behind Tails's right ear. The girl sat opposite Sonic, behind Tails's left.
"You can do this!" said Sonic, slapping Tails on the back. "If anyone can do it, it's you!"
"But still..."
Tails didn't see how he could do this. This was really more Sonic's thing, to go out and fight and battle to keep everyone safe. It was Sonic who never gave up on anything, even being trapped in a cave-in. Sonic should be doing this, not Tails!
"Listen, Tails!" said Sonic, his grin not faltering. "Don't believe in yourself."
What? Tails snapped up and, in the corner of his eye, noticed Sonic pointing at himself with his thumb.
"Believe in me! Believe in the Sonic who believes in you!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked the girl.
Tails thought, Sonic believes in me. He believes in me enough to believe I can do this. Maybe, if I believe in him, while he believes in me, maybe... just maybe...
Tails grit his teeth and furrowed his brow.
"I'll see what I can do," he said, pulling down his digging goggles.
The circular display began to pulse with green light, showing a spiral leading to a small indentation in the middle.
?
Kukku's floating ball over his head turned into a '?', whatever that meant. It must have had something to do with confusion, because Tails was.
!
The '?' over Kukku's head turned into a '!', and the Chao pointed at Tails's chest. "Chao!"
Tails looked down, and saw his drill pendant. It was pulsing in rhythm with the circular display. Taking hold of the miniature drill of emerald, Tails cautiously guided it towards the small hole. Looking closely, it seemed to be carved just for the drill pendant. Or was the drill crafted to fit into this hole? Which came first?
It clicked in with a snap. A perfect fit.
Tails turned it.
The display lit up in a spiral of bright-green increments.
And the face's eyes erupted with emerald light as a stumpy pair of legs added another couple feet to the head's height and a pair of arms emerged from where the head's ears would be.
"It worked!" was all Tails got to say...
Before the head rocketed out the tunnel, with Tails, Sonic, and the girl on board.
raw! raw! fight the power!
"Come on, people! Drop whatever you're doing and head deeper into the tunnels!" Chief Ivo shouted, waving his arms frantically in the air to catch attention. Villagers old and young, big and small, human and anthro, ran past him into the deeper areas of the village. When he was certain that everyone was accounted for, Ivo ran for cover.
Miraculously, no one was killed or even hurt by this... this thing that was attacking his village. Somehow, Miles and Olgilvie and that girl had disappeared. In spite of all the trouble that Olgilvie had been causing for as long as Ivo knew him, he never wished an ill fate upon him. He was one of the villagers, and so it was Ivo's duty, sworn at his father's deathbed, to ensure every villagers' safety. He'd last seen him pursuing that girl who fell into the village, shooting at that thing. He wondered where he could have gone, because he would have noticed a broken, mangled body amongst the rubble.
Suddenly, a large yellow shape emerged from a tunnel on the opposite side of the hub. It just grazed under the giant face, between its stumpy legs, and he heard a familiar voice shouting out "You did it, Tails!" and another familiar voice returning "Y-yeah, Sonic!"
Peering out from his hiding place, Ivo was stunned. Piloting a much smaller robot head, was...
"Is that... Olgilvie and Miles?"
raw! raw! fight the power!
Sonic laughed from the shoulder of the face. "How about that, you Gizoid S.O.B.? Now we got our own Gizoid to fight you with. And let me tell ya, even if heaven itself tolerates your brutality, the mighty Emerl won't!"
"Who's 'Emerl'?" the girl asked.
"This guy," said Sonic, patting the side of the miniature Gizoid. "I just came up with his name."
"That's not really imaginative," the girl said.
But Tails was terrified all this time. The giant Gizoid was close enough to step on them if it took one more step and oh jeez it was swinging its arm and
The freshly named Emerl deployed a pair of springs from its feet, launching into the air with a sproing. The Gizoid's fist slammed into the dirt where it had been moments before.
"Why are you running, Tails?" Sonic shouted as Emerl sprung around the hub, avoiding the skull-like Gizoid's fists.
"It's trying to kill us!" Tails screamed back.
"A real man never runs away from a fight!" Sonic retorted.
Then the Gizoid swung its club and finally struck Emerl, knocking Sonic and the girl loose. Emerl was buried in the rubble of the nearest wall.
The girl came to, with a shock.
"W-we're on top of its head?" she yelled.
So they were. And it was raising its free hand to squash them.
She screamed.
Tails groggily brought Emerl out of the rubble in the wall. He was protected from the debris by Emerl's crest, which seemed transparent from the pilot's side while it was activated.
He heard screams.
He looked down.
Down the length of the Gizoid's club, still embedded tip-first in the wall, on top of the Gizoid's head, darting back and forth to avoid its wandering hand, were the girl and...
"Sonic!" Tails called out.
Emerl's feet began slipping down the club.
Tails couldn't do this. He couldn't stop this thing from trashing his village because he was young and weak and not at all like Sonic and because this was nighttime hours and there was light pouring down from the surface and it hurt his eyes and...
And Tails gulped.
"K-kick common sense out... and go... beyond the impossible!"
Emerl's feet slipped more.
"That's how... the Freedom Fighters... do it!"
With a battle cry - and a tumble or two - Tails tore down the length of the Gizoid's club to save his big brother.
"SOOO~ONIII~IC!"
The girl was firing at the hand now, but it was Tails swooping in on Emerl that knocked it away.
Tails was hyperventilating now, but Sonic grinned at him.
"Not bad, Tails!"
The girl was hitting Emerl's side, a panicked look on her face. "Come on, jump! Make it jump!"
The Gizoid was raising its club.
"Come on! Hurry and jump! It's gonna swing at us!"
Tails's face had screwed up in fear because he just wanted that giant Gizoid to leave him alone and not kill him or his big brother
And suddenly a canopy closed around the three on board. The girl yelled in alarm.
With its canopy closed, Emerl's body - well, head. Whatever. - was a nearly perfect sphere, apart from the crest. As such, almost all of the force from the Gizoid's club slid off it, and Emerl was sent tumbling over its head as the Gizoid's club hit it on the head.
The Gizoid stood still, stunned, then its jaws went slack and it fell onto its side.
Emerl landed with a thunk beside it.
In the cockpit, Tails had an uncomfortably close-up view of Sonic's spiney blue butt.
"Nice work with the canopy, Tails," he said.
"It's a bit cramped, though," said the girl.
The canopy went transparent, and Tails knocked on the Gizoid. It was very still.
"Looks like you took yourself out, guy," said Sonic, smirking.
"I guess its club was harder than its head," the girl added.
A shriek from outside alerted them. Looking in its direction, they saw a pink hedgehog girl pointing in horror over Emerl.
Looking up, Tails saw a fist.
And he dodged...
Right into the Gizoid's teeth.
Emerl was caught between a pair of teeth in its mouth. The Gizoid laughed in triumph.
"I have you now!"
It grinded its teeth against Emerl, attempting to crush it.
Inside, the girl was gritting her teeth.
"We're done for... It's so cramped!"
"Stop complaining!" Sonic said, her foot in his face.
"Damn it!" said Tails. "I need... more power!"
!
"Chao!" said Kukku, pointing at the drill pendant. It had come dislodged slightly in all the blunt trauma.
It was difficult extricating one of his arms from Sonic's tangled limbs, but he leaned down under Sonic's butt and pushed the drill in the slot. Then twisted it.
The display lit up green again. Brighter than before.
From outside, one of the Gizoid's teeth began to glow with green cracks, then shattered as Emerl emerged, a drill large enough to punch a hole through Chief Ivo coming from its crest.
"A drill?" Sonic asked.
"It just sorta popped out," said Tails.
"That's your kinda weapon. It's a perfect match!" Sonic grinned.
Emerl landed, facing the Gizoid, which now realized how much of a threat Emerl was.
"Sonic, I think I can do this," Tails said.
"Alright, then!" Sonic said, gritting his teeth. "Give that son of a bitch a taste of the power of the Freedom Fighters' mighty drill!"
"Right!" said Tails, clutching the contols tightly. Green sparks began to fly from them.
As Tails let out a battle cry, Emerl glowed an emerald light, and its fists were engulfed in green energy, to be replaced with identical drills.
The girl was amazed. This Gizoid 'Emerl' was really powerful! Or was it the fox boy's power? What was this power that the fox boy was drawing from? Where was he drawing from?
"Get going, Tails!" shouted Sonic The Hedgehog. "Bust through the heavens with your drill!"
Letting loose a loud scream from Tails and Sonic, Emerl launched towards the Gizoid with green energy pouring from its turbine, which raised its club as a last desperate shield. Emerl's drills shattered it with minimal effort, and struck the Gizoid under the right eye, carrying it up towards the circle of orange light where it had fallen through in the first place. The village was nearly eclipsed once more, when the Gizoid began to fall again.
Inside Emerl, Tails and Sonic let loose with a simultaneous scream. No way are you coming back here again! they thought, the thoughts directed at the Gizoid...
And themselves.
The spiral gauge shone brightly with green light.
Emerl's drills suddenly expanded and began spinning more vigorously. A twister was kicked up underneath it as it carried the Gizoid up and out of the hole...
And out of Knothole Village.
The villagers had begun to crowd out of the the tunnels to watch the battle in spite of the danger, Chief Ivo included. Now, they could only stare dumbly at the hole left behind by the thing that had fallen into their village and destroyed their daily lives.
Because they all knew now.
The surface was real.
Sonic The Hedgehog was no liar.
Neither was his father before him.
Looks like I owe that boy an apology, Chief Ivo thought. If I ever meet him and Jules again, I'll apologize for ever doubting them.
Inside Emerl, Sonic was beside himself.
"Sayonara, Knothole Village!" he shouted. "Our next stop is the surface! The surface that I saw as a kid!"
Tails's teeth were gritted; his heart was pounding in his chest and he was feeling so exhilirated that he wanted to die! No one should have to experience this in their lifetime; it was impossible to say that this wasn't fun...
So Tails grinned; he was a Freedom Fighter, someone who kicked common sense out and went beyond the impossible.
And he let himself live for the moment.
Sonic and Tails let out yells of exhiliration. The girl just screamed.
raw! raw! fight the power!
The Gizoid was carried out of the pit it had fallen into by Emerl's drill, a jet of emerald energy pouring out behind it. The attacker and the attackee rose several thousand feet into the air before the green energy coalesced for one brief instant into a tremendous drill, obliterating the Gizoid as it gave off one last protesting groan. As the Gizoid's remains fell away, the drill dissipated into green energy again, which itself disappeared.
Emerl's canopy flew open as it spun in midair.
Tails's jaw dropped.
This was the surface.
The ceiling was immensely high, going red on one end, while the other side was a blue darker than Sonic. As Emerl spun, Tails and Sonic saw for the first time a very bright light that looked like it was almost going to touch the earth on the red side of the surface's ceiling, and a not-so-bright light that looked like a very shiny and very large rock on the dark-blue side.
Below, Tails saw expanses of very large rocks; flat, smooth plains of dirt; ravines carved into the earth.
They really should have brought along a bard to tell of how beautiful it was, because none present could describe how awe-inspiring this view was.
"Is this... the surface?" Sonic said dumbly, taken in by the view.
"It's so beautiful!" Tails said, grinning in the aftereffects of the adrenaline rush, and in the beauty of this introduction to the surface.
"Sally."
Tails looked toward the girl in confusion. She was smiling at him and Sonic.
"That's my name; Sally," she said. "I never introduced myself, did I?"
"Now that you mention it..." Tails began.
Sonic put his pointy shades back on. "I'm Sonic," then he ruffled Tails's hair, "And this is Tails."
"Nice to meet you two," Sally said.
Then her breasts began to bounce on their own.
As it turned out, Kukku was hiding between them.
Sally pointed at Kukku. "Umm, why is this Chao hiding in my cleavage?"
?
"Chao?" Kukku asked.
"Hey, Kukku! Behave yourself!" Tails said, blushing furiously even though he wasn't the one who was stuck between a beautiful girl's breasts.
"Umm, Tails, I don't think your looking at the boulders we should be worried about," said Sonic, suddenly looking worried. He wasn't even looking at this scene with Sally and Kukku.
Anymore, at least.
"What's wrong?" Tails asked.
"The repulsors stopped," said Sally, looking down. And looking pale.
"Do something about it, Tails!" Sonic said, clenching the sides as the wind began to whistle about them.
"It just happened on its own. I don't know how to run this thing!" he said, shaking the controls futilely, before sinking into his seat. "It's no use."
"You're quick to give up!" shouted Sally as butterflies danced in all their stomaches, and instinct took over, and they screamed.
"HANG ON TIGHT!" shouted Sonic.
With a grunt of effort, Tails closed the canopy around himself and Sonic and Sally.
Springs appeared on Emerl's feet and extended to the ground, but it did not bounce back up; instead, it was half-embedded in the dirt, kicking up a dust cloud.
When it cleared, Sonic was lying way clear of Emerl, and Tails was on top of Sally.
"Talk about your rough receptions," Sonic groaned.
"You can say that again," said Tails. Opening his eyes, Tails's heart leapt into his throat; his face was between Sally's breasts!
He pulled himself back; Sally's assets jiggled with his movement.
"I-I'm sorry!" he said, looking back and forth between... them.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Then he looked at Sally's face.
She was smiling, as though this wasn't a big deal.
Then she grimaced, and broke out into a sweat.
Tails tried to backpedal from her rapidly, but she grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him in again.
"Out of the frying pan and into the fire..." she muttered. Looking out of the corner of his eye, Tails realized what had frightened Sally so.
Two gigantic silhouettes of two gigantic heads with arms and legs, their eyes glowing with killing intent...
