Chapter 8

Next Day

Tails got up and put on his scarf and shoes and began walking out and then he noticed most of the people he fought yesterday in his house plus some new ones. He saw Hidan polishing his scythe and when Hidan saw him he looked away quickly and continued polishing his scythe. Kakuzu had one of the moneybags from "The Hedgehog Puppet" play and was counting the money, dollar signs in his eyes. He saw the redhead tinkering with one of his arm blades and looked away quickly. A shadow then loomed over him and he looked up into the eyes of a fish like man.

"Yikes!" yelped Tails as he jumped back at the sight of the man.

"Easy kid. I'm on your side, we all are. If you want to know, Klaxon's in the hangar working on that jet of yours. See ya." said the shark man as he finished eating a tuna fish sandwich and left, he then noticed a huge bandaged sword leaning against a wall and Tails walks up to it to hear it growl at him and he backs away before he walks into the hangar where he sees Klaxon and Zetsu working on the Tornado.

"TAILS!" yells Klaxon childishly dropping the jumper cables he was holding.

"WAIT! Klaxon, don't- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Zetsu as the current went through his body and when the current stopped he got up and stumbled outside.

"I'm going on my break. Watching Sonic is easier than this." said Zetsu as he stumbled off.

"Sorry Mister Zetsu!" called Klaxon to the plant-like man before he turned his attention to Tails.

"So, what's on your mind?"

"Why is there a whole bunch of weirdoes in my house?" said Tails crossing his arms.

"Hey! They're clones but people too! I decided I would need to carry my own weight around here, so I decided to help you with your jet and also help the city with a variety of people. Besides, I control them...somewhat...I don't use mindless slaves. Kakuzu is a repo man, Kisame is a fisherman, Sasori is more like a puppet master for kids' shows and also a pyrotechnic, Deidara is our 'artistic' explosives expert, the rest I'm not sure about yet...But hey! Long as they don't do something stupid we're okey-dokey!" said Klaxon.

Tails sighed and began walking off.

"Hey! Where're you going?!" called Klaxon in a childish voice.

"To get some air!" Tails called back walking towards Station Square.

Klaxon shrugged and grabbed two wires, both red.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTT!

He hit the wall behind him, his dreadlocks puffed up and straight and his body smoking.

"WOO-HOO! LET'S DO THAT AGAIN!" said Klaxon before he fell to the ground in a heap.

Station Square Beach; 30 Minutes Later

Tails was relaxing with his head resting against a palm tree watching the calming waters when a scream reached his ears that was several miles away. He got up, popped some joints and took off running and after a few minutes of running came upon Robotnik cornering Amy in a mech suit.

'Aw man! And here I was hopping Robotnik screamed like a little schoolgirl.' thought Tails to himself with a smirk.

"Hey Buttnik! Not nice to pick on others for lunch money!" snapped Tails at the doctor who turned to face him.

"You? Phooey! I was hoping for that meddlesome hedgehog. Oh well. Crazy Robo-88, KILL HIM!" said Robotnik.

Soon from out of nowhere came 88 robot ninjas each with a different weapon.

"Really? Its like you ripped these robots off of the 'Kill Bill' movie franchise." said Tails with a smirk.

"WHAT?! HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY ORIGINALITY! IF ANYTHING THEY RIPPED IT OFF FROM ME!(1)" roared the doctor covering the glass dome that protected him inside his mech with spit.

"Whatever. Let's just get this over with." said Tails and that's when the 88 attacked.

5 Minutes Later

All of the Crazy Robo-88 were on the ground and destroyed and Tails clapped the dirt off his claws and looked up at Robotnik whose mouth was open in a wide "O".

"Is that the best you got?" said Tails with a wide smirk that made Sonic freeze in his tracks halfway across town. Tails was then sucker punched in the chin by Robotnik yet it didn't seem to do much.

"YOU LITTLE PIPSQUEAK! I'M GONNA CRUSH YOU!" screamed Robotnik half-heartedly and gets ready for another punch but winds up getting the arm ripped clean off.

"Well then, how about this bad boy?!" yelled Robotnik brandishing a large double-bladed axe at which Tails snarls barring his fangs. Robotnik's swing misses and Tails wrenches the axe out of his grip and then smashes the glass protecting Robotnik and pulls him out of the mech and puts him across his knee and starts spanking the doctor with the flat of the axe's blade.

"This-*SPANK!*-is what-*SPANK!*-you get-*SPANK!*-for f**ing-*SPANK!*-around-*SPANK!*-with a fox! Now go home to your mother you little schoolgirl!" said Tails as he spanked Robotnik and the fat doctor got up and ran crying to his hover chair.

"BOO!" yelled Tails faking a lunge at Robotnik.

"*Girly Scream!*" Robotnik took off faster than you could say "Chaos Emerald". Tails then turns around and slowly walks up to the pink hedgehog.

"You okay?" said Tails. The pink hedgehog cringed and backed away.

"It's alright, I won't hurt you...I swear." Tails backed away and hid his claws behind his back. The hedgehog looked up with emerald eyes.

"You saved me. Guess Sonic isn't the only hero huh?"

Tails looked away and muttered, "I'm no hero."

The pink hedgehog giggled.

"Well why'd you save me clevertails?"

Tails shrugged and extended a hand/claw, "Tails."

The hedgehog extended her hand and gingerly shook Tail's, "Amy, Amy Rose."

Tails smiled revealing his fangs and she laughed a bit.

Meanwhile; Alley in Station Square

A tall metal figure walked through the alleyway and chased some stray cats away as he opened a trash can.

"Okay, let's see what's on the menu tonight. Garbage, garbage, and more garbage! (Smashes lid back onto garbage can) I'm think of sifting through trash!" yelled the mech.

*Stomach growls*

"Woe is me for being turned halfway human." mumbled the mech as he began walking away when his scanners picked something up and he looked to see Klaxon.

"Klaxon? What's he doing here? (Receives info from Soundwave) Oh...ouch, betrayed by his own son. Yeesh...And I thought my life was bad." said the mech as he continued walking and then he looked at his watch.

"Aw crud! I forgot I was gonna help Cream!" said the mech as he transformed into a rusty black motorcycle and drove off. After awhile he arrived at his destination and saw the rabbit working near the Chao Garden, he transformed and walked over to her.

"Hey Cream." said the mech waving and smiling.

"Hey Drifter." said Cream.

"Chao, Chao." said Cheese flying next to her.

"Sorry I'm late. I forgot." said Drifter rubbing the back of his neck.

"Its okay. You weren't too late."

Suddenly Drifter picked Cream up and got behind a boulder and converted his arm into a cannon as laser blasts flew by.

"W-what's going on?" said Cream afraid.

"I don't know. Don't worry though I got this." said Drifter setting her down and standing up cautiously only to get shot in the chest. He fell back onto the ground.

"Any last words, scrap?" came a female voice that walked out of the shadows, her cannon smoking.

"Just one: why?" he gasped.

The half robot rabbit walked up to him and pointed her cannon at his face.

"You're one of Buttnik's goons!" snapped the Rabbot.

"I hate that man for what he did to me!" growled Drifter as pain filled his being.

"What?!" asked Bunnie genuinely confused.

"I'll show...you..." said Drifter and his chest opened.

*BUM-BUM! BUM-BUM! BUM-BUM! BUM-BUM! BUM-BUM! BUMB-UM!*

Bunnie's eyes widen at seeing and hearing a beating heart in his chest. Cream runs up to her friend.

"Drifter!" cried the rabbit tears forming in her eyes and she clutches his hand.

"Sorry...Cream..." gasped Drifter as greenish-blue blood oozed from his mouth and then his eyes closed and his hand fell onto his stomach.

"No! Please..." cried Cream and then she looked back when she felt a metal hand on her shoulder.

"This is my fault. Ah'll help fix it." said Bunnie lifting the fairly small mech onto her shoulders, "We're taking him to Tails."

"T-Tails? I haven't seen him in awhile..." said Cream looking away.

"Don't worry. He's still the same...mostly...Come on! We have to hurry.

Tails' House/Workshop; 45 Minutes Later

Klaxon is walking to his room when he hears two people talking outside the house, he eases his head against the door.

"Yeah, that's nice, that's the spot, ooooh, yeah-heh-heh-heh." he heard Tails say and then Klaxon puts two fingers into his mouth and makes retching noises. The next thing he knows is a punch to the face through the door. He tumbles back, recovers, turns ,"Duh, which way did he go George which way did he go?", and falls to the ground. Zetsu then appears from the floor.

"We should have told him. That what? Tails' new friend was scratching behind his ears, neck, and back? No way, this was better. You are so heartless. Thank you. That wasn't a compliment!" said Zetsu before he walked out to a greenhouse he built that was full of carnivorous plants and fell asleep.

"Tails, don't you think that was a little harsh?" said Amy after Tails sat back down on the deck.

"Maybe, but he was being rude." said Tails crossing his arms and then he looks at Amy, "Can you scratch my ears again?" asked Tails hesitantly.

"Okay." said Amy and she does which causes Tails' tails to wag. The two are interrupted by hurried footsteps and they see Bunnie and Cream come into view with Bunnie carrying Drifter on her back.

"Bunnie? What happened?" said Tails getting up.

"No time Tails! This bot needs help. NOW SUGAH!" said Bunnie carrying Drifter into Tails' workshop and dropping him on a table and Tails looks him over and then sees his open chest and the beating heart and his eyes widen. He turns around to get Tails and sees Cream and she looks scared both for her friend and how Tails looks.

"Not what you were expecting huh?" said Tails a little downcast and Cream shakes her head, 'no'. Cheese lands on Tails' shoulder and hugs his neck.

"At least I still have one friend that doesn't mind my appearance." mused Tails before he gently picked up Cheese and handed him to Cream and then smiled to her.

"I'll make sure your friend lives." said Tails before he got the needed tools and Cream smiled before she got out of the way. Throughout the night Tails worked on Drifter.
