Chapter 2: Evacuation
Tails left the hanger as fast as he could and made for Station Square. Eggman was terrorizing the city at the moment, and it was his duty to help put an end to the mad scientist's scheme.
The Tornado reached the city after about ten minutes of flying. Tails quickly located a clear spot to land his biplane and hopped out, ready to assist in any way he could. When he spotted Sonic and the others, however, panic got the better of him, and the fox immediately jumped into a nearby bush to hide. He might have (somewhat) forgiven the blue hedgehog already, but that didn't mean the fox was ready to face him just yet.
"Consider it done." said Sonic confidently, although Tails could tell something was off about the tone his hedgehog buddy had used, "Amy, you go and help everybody evacuate to safety. Knux and I will take care of Egghead."
After that, Sonic and Knuckles sped off in the direction of the city hall, while Amy ran to the opposite direction with her Piko Piko hammer in hands. The pink hedgehog ran straight into a chaotic sector of the city that was burning brightly due to Eggman's sudden assault. There were a lot of people running around. The police and firefighters were trying their best to prevent the fire from spreading any further. The whole scene was utterly chaotic.
"Sonic'll be just fine. He's faced Eggman like a hundred times already." Tails thought as he debated whether to help Sonic and Knuckles subdue Eggman or join Amy in her task of evacuating the citizens to safety. "Besides, Knuckles is with him. Nothing can stand in their way, right?"
After thinking really hard for a second, Tails decided to help Amy. Knowing his best friends, Tails was sure they would prevail in the end. Besides, the fox wasn't ready to face Sonic yet anyway. He was still a mad at the cobalt speedster, so he decided to keep his distance for the time being.
Tails quickly jumped out of the bush and made his way back to the Tornado. He needed to do something about the spreading fire first, and he had just the thing. The genius fox quickly started his plane and took off in the direction of the burning area.
Knowing full well that Eggman had a nasty streak of setting everything ablaze on his path, Tails had prepared a countermeasure in advance. He had fitted the Tornado with water tanks a few months earlier, effectively turning the Tornado into a (part-time) water bomber.
When Tails got close to the fire, he pressed the buttons and released the water. Gallons and gallons of water dropped onto the burning city and extinguished most of the flames in an instant. Tails turned the plane around and emptied the rest of his remaining water tanks. His effort, combined with the efforts of the firefighters and some brave citizens, succeeded in putting out the raging fires.
Some people looked up and cheered at him for his timely assistance, which made the modest genius blush a little.
Soon, the city was no longer burning, but the destruction looked really nasty from where Tails was.
The twin-tailed fox quickly returned to the empty space and landed his plane and made a mad dash toward the city to help to the best of his ability. When he reached the downtown area, he spotted the familiar pink hedgehog smashing some Egg Pawns brutally and mercilessly.
"Poor robots." Tails thought as he looked at the sight before him, "Eggman should really program his pawns to run away from Amy when she's mad. That would save him a fortune."
Amy was doing a very good job herself. After making sure that everyone was out of the area, she started smashing the pursuing Egg Pawns enthusiastically (perhaps too enthusiastically). No robot was able to get close to the rampaging pink hedgehog. However, Amy, even with all her strength and skills, couldn't watch out for every threat in every direction.
One Egg Pawn managed to sneak up on her and was about to stab her with its laser spear. Amy noticed, but it was too late to jump out of the way. Before the murderous robot could act, however, Tails sprinted forward and used his own spin dash attack to destroy it, saving Amy's life in the process.
"Amy, are you okay?" Tails asked as he ran to Amy's side.
"I'm fine. Thanks for the save, Tails." replied the pink hedgehog as she bashed another Pawn on the head. "Where have you been?"
"We'll talk later. Right now, let's take care of these buckets of bolts first."
Amy nodded and turned back to the incoming robots. She had smashed more than twenty of them, and yet they were still coming, each armed with different weapons such as laser guns, light sabers, laser spears and even morning stars with electricity.
Tails grabbed a couple of laser guns from some fallen Egg Pawns that Amy had smashed and started shooting while Amy continued swinging her hammer around with deadly force and precision.
With their combined might, the number of the Egg Pawns reduced significantly after a short while.
"We can win this. Keep at it Tails." Amy yelled while still swinging her hammer.
Tails simply nodded and took the sky using his namesakes. Once airborne, the fox opened fire with two laser guns in both hands, providing cover for his pink companion on the ground. Needless to say, Tails' marksmanship was superb. His shots were spot-on, taking out a large number of Eggman's invading forces.
However, Tails soon faced a new problem. His guns ran out of juice, so he discarded them and stuck to the old-fashioned spin dash that he had learned from Sonic shortly after their meeting.
The fox bounced around and took out any Egg Pawn that came his way, unaware of the fact that he was mimicking Sonic. Amy was amazed for a second, thinking that it was the daring and reckless Sonic she was seeing, not the usually friendly and polite Tails.
"Oh well, they're practically brothers." thought the pink hedgehog as a small smile appeared on her face.
After what seemed like an eternity for the two friends, the number of Egg Pawns was finally reduced to ten. The remaining Egg Pawns were a few feet away from the duo, trying to strategize their moves. Tails, on the other hand, had already figured out how to take all of them out in one shot just by looking at them.
"Amy, are you up for a game of bowling?" Tails called out to the pink hedgehog. Said hedgehog turned around and looked at the few remaining Egg Pawns and smirked deviously.
"Sure, I'm up for one game." Amy said as she raised her hammer up, knowing exactly what Tails had in mind. Tails curled up and started spinning to gain momentum. When the fox gave the signal, Amy swung her hammer and sent Tails flying toward the Egg Pawns with incredible force and speed.
The move took them by surprise. Since none of the Egg Pawns saw it coming (nor were they fast enough to dodge), Tails' ball form landed a critical hit and crushed all of them at the same time.
"Strike!" yelled both Amy and Tails in unison. Tails uncurled and dusted himself off as he walked back to Amy. Finally, the pink hedgehog lowered her menacing hammer and relaxed. They had won the battle. Judging from the carnage that was left behind, Tails calculated that they might have destroyed more than a hundred Egg Pawns.
"Man, I never want to go through that ever again." Tails said as he stretched his hands, back and tails. He didn't want to admit it to Amy, but the girly hedgehog had freakish strength that could very well give Knuckles a run for his money.
"You said it. Still, it was good for a workout. I need to stay in shape if I want to be Sonic's girlfriend." said Amy as she made a post as if she were a supermodel, a gesture that made Tails shake his head and sigh. The pink girl's obsession with Sonic was astounding as it was annoying.
"So Tails...What are you going to do from here? Are you going after Eggman , too?"
"Nah, I'll leave Egghead for Sonic. Besides, I really don't want to see him at the moment." Tails said with a slightly angry tone. Amy, however, thought Tails was referring to Eggman, so she didn't say anything.
At this moment, a giant fortress appeared out of nowhere and completely covered the sky, shocking Amy and Tails. As they looked up, they saw the familiar figures of Sonic and Knuckles being pulled into the mysterious fortress and Eggman flying there in his Eggmobile.
"Oh no, Sonic and Knuckles have been captured." Tails said as he looked at the limp figures of his friends being forcefully pulled into the gigantic floating fortress, "I need to go and help them."
"Then go. I'll stay here and make sure everybody is safe." Amy said as she raised her hammer up again. "Make sure you save them from Eggman, okay."
Tails simply nodded and quickly made his way back to the Tornado. Not even bothering with the usual preliminary check, he started the engine and took off after Eggman's fortress, determined to save Sonic and Knuckles at all cost.
"Wait for me, Sonic, Knuckles. I'm coming." said Tails as he stepped on it, making the Tornado accelerate and fly at full speed.
