Chapter 19

"[D] Yo, Robotnik! I bet I could beat you with one arm behind my back." said Overload-Klaxon before he threw the Lightning Orb at Robotnik.

*EXPLOSION!*

"Curse you!..." screamed Robotnik as he was blasted back to his city.

Overload-Klaxon turned around to see Tails and Amy gaping.

"Hey Tails. High Five." said Overload-Klaxon and Tails high-fives only to...

BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

*POOF*

...Tails gets turned into a fuzzball.

"Oops! I forgot. I'm made out of lightning now. [Nervous chuckle] Sorry." said Klaxon before he arced away.

"Awww." says Amy looking at Tails who now looks cute and cuddly due to his fur being puffed up. Tails rolls his eyes in annoyance before Amy hugs him and he calms down a little and also blushes a lot.

Next Day

Tails got up and had breakfast before he noticed one thing, or multiple things, missing. He then saw a note attached to the renewed TV, he grabbed it and read it.

"Dear Tails,

Today I'm going to train you. The reason, something bad is coming and I want you to be prepared. Head into the nearby forest, your first instructors will arrive soon after you do. Be warned however, fight them as if your life depended on it. And if I know them, it might be on the line. Well, good luck!

Sincerely, Klaxon.

P.S. Flip the page over"

Tails turns the paper over to get a pie to the face, blueberry to exact. He washes the pie out of his fur and heads into the forest and waits and waits...and waits. He waits roughly 3 hours and then...something heavy whistling through the air...heading for his head. He ducks as a massive sword flies overhead and embeds itself into a tree and a tall, noticeably muscular man with pale skin, short spiky black hair, small eyebrows, and brown eyes with bandages covering the lower half of his face up to the bridge of his nose landed on the sword.

"Hmm, so you're the one Klaxon told me to train. You seem more like a scrawny fox to me, but who am I to judge? My name is Zabuza Momochi. I'm also known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist, you'll find out why soon enough. Klaxon was kind of vague with what he told me to train you in but I'll see what I have to deal with. Now then, let's begin." said Zabuza as he made hand signs, "Hidden Mist Jutsu!"

Slowly a heavy mist filled the area and Tails could only see two feet in front of himself even with his enhanced senses, he looked around cautiously.

"You're no fun kid. I like it better when people panic when they're caught in this jutsu. It makes it more lively." said Zabuza from almost every direction. Suddenly Zabuza appeared behind Tails spinning his sword above his head and slammed it into Tails sending him flying into a tree and Zabuza disappeared into the mist again.

"See? No fun."

Tails got up and spit out a wad of blood and got into a defensive stance, using his ears to pick up movement.

"Clever. But not good enough!" said Zabuza and Tails found himself surrounded by five Zabuza clones. Tails reacted quickly by cutting each of their throats only to have them turn into water. Tails looked around and then his ears picked something up and he barely dodged a small needle that grazed his nose a tiny bit and he jumped back as the mist dispersed. Tails then saw a kid that was wearing a mask and wielding senbon needles.

"I'm sorry Zabuza, I missed." said the kid looking at Zabuza.

"Probably best you did Haku, if he hadn't dodged it, he would of lost an eye." said Zabuza shouldering his weapon.

"Hey! Mister Zabuza! Why'd you leave me in the middle of nowhere?" asked a newcomer wearing the black cloak with red clouds and an orange mask in a swirl pattern.

"Great. Mr. Annoying's back." mumbled Zabuza face-palming.

"Who are you?" said Tails looking at the newcomer.

"My name's Tobi, I just joined up. Klaxon-sempai told me to teach you. I'm very powerful." said Tobi puffing out his chest.

"More like a major pain in the a$$. Okay Tobi, you can have at him." said Zabuza as he and Haku left the area.

"YAY! Come on Tails, let's play!" said Tobi pulling out a bowling bomb from his cloak and chucking it at Tails who dodged it. It exploded upon contact with the tree behind Tails. Tails looked around for Tobi but couldn't find him and then he felt tapping on his shoulder and he turned around to see Tobi.

"Hello. TOBI KICK!"

Tobi kicked Tails in the jaw sending him reeling and then Tails charged and began clawing at Tobi only have his claws get stuck in a tree.

"You need to be more careful Tails. You could poke your eye out with those. Hehehehehe! EEEK!"

Tobi got tail-punched and sent flying into a tree. He got up and barely dodged Tails' punches and delivered his own punch to Tails gut.

"You're no fun Tails. Oh well." said Tobi walking away and was then tackled and thrown into a rock.

"Owwww! That was harsh! You're getting serious, guess I have to too. NOT! RUN AWAY!" said Tobi running off through the tree-tops. Tails took after the masked ninja and soon arrived at a clearing where Tobi was filing his nails.

"Hey-hey! You found me! My turn!" said Tobi before he burrowed into the ground. Tails was then sent flying from a kick delivered by Klaxon.

"I never get tired of Tobi. He's too fun. Now then...*cracks neck*...I'm your opponent." said Klaxon with a smirk.
