Chapter 16: All Alone Again
Chapter 16! Yay! Thank you guys for all of your support! I really appreciate it! Interesting Fact: My friend Melaney wrote like two sentences of this. Thanks buddy :)
Tails looked up at the sky above him. He was under a shady green oak tree, the sun casting shadows across the soft green grass of the arena floor. He watched the dew drop from the leaves on the tree and into the pond that stood before him. The water was crystal clear, revealing the many species of fish and Pokémon that lived on its rocky bottom. The wind blew gently through the leaves on the trees, making the shadows on the grass sway back and forth in time with the leaves above them. He could hear a flock of Pidgey calling out to the other bird Pokémon in the sky.
Amy's really dead. Tails thought to himself. What is Sonic going to do when he finds out? What about when I get home? I thought we could make it together even though she can be annoying sometimes. Now I have to go home and face him…that's if I can even make it, that is.
Tails heard a rustling in the bushes. He stepped out from under the oak tree and began walking towards it. He heard two distinct voices.
"I told you we should have gone the other way," one of the voices scolded. "You and your stupid swirly hairdo got us attacked by a flock of Spearow!"
The other voice quickly fired back. "It's not all my fault. Don't ten-year-olds with stupid hats get attacked by Spearow?"
"Are you calling me an Ash?" the first voice growled.
"No," the first voice yelled back. "I'm calling you an ass!"
Tails sighed as he continued to listen to the constant arguing. "I've had enough of this," he mumbled. He gave the bush a swift kick and watched two ten year olds jump out of it. The first one had bucked teeth like a beaver, a stupid pink hat, a shirt of the same shade, and pants that covered his shoes. The second kid had his hair swirled like fudge on a sundae on top of his giant head. His shirt had a yellow atom displayed on a bright red color, and wore jeans. The two of them were continuing to hit each other.
Tails rolled his eyes and began to spin his two tails like a propeller. He whipped both of them in the face, just as he had done when he met Angel three months ago.
"Hey!" Timmy and Jimmy yelled. They both looked like they were bleeding, but they might have already been like that before Tails had hit them.
"What are you two doing?" Tails questioned them. He could kill them off in a second. He wanted something first, however.
Timmy stepped forward and pointed to Jimmy. "This IDIOT got us attacked by wild Spearow!"
"Did not!" Jimmy yelled back. "A ten–year-old gets attacked by wild Spearow on the first day of his Pokemon journey. Now a ten-year-old IDIOT gets attacked during the Hunger Games. My hypothesis is correct!"
"I would care about what you had to say, if I knew what that word meant!" Timmy screamed. The two co-tributes began to fight each other, but with knives this time. In a few minutes, both had bled to death and two cannons fired.
Tails sighed. "There's two more gone." He started walking in the direction the two of them had come from, lost in thought. He was all alone again, just like when his life had first started. He wondered where he would be if Sonic hadn't been there after his parents abandoned him. Probably dead, he thought. Sonic's always been there for me, and I can't even rescue Amy. Me and my stupidity.
But what about Angel? Tails thought to himself. He knew almost nothing about her past, not even where she came from. For Pete's sake, he didn't even know how old she was. Ten, maybe twelve? Whatever, he thought. As long as she likes me, I'll be happy.
He continued to walk until he tripped on something. "Ow!" he exclaimed as he crashed to the ground. He looked back at the metal object that had made him fall over. "What's this?" he said as he picked it up. It was a small wrench, perfect for using on the jet that crashed. He turned back and started running in the direction that he had just been in. At least I won't be putting anyone in danger this time, he thought.
After a few minutes of running, he finally reached the pile of metal. He started to put the jet back together, only with the wrench and his hands. After hours of hard work, the plane was finally put together. "I'd say that's pretty good for an eight-year-old," Tails said happily as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He climbed into the jet. "I'm not going to crash again," he said. He pressed a few buttons on the control panel, then flew into the sky.
Tails watched the ground below him. "If I can pick off a few tributes, I might actually be able to go home!" he exclaimed excitedly. He looked down at the screen on the control panel, which was zoomed in on the ground and could even make the smallest mouse on the ground. He squinted on the screen, which displayed a small brown dot running across the ground. "Speak of the devil…" he said quietly. He landed the jet in the tall grass and jumped out. The small mouse before him squeaked and tried to run away, but Tails stepped on his tail and picked him up.
"Look, despite the fact that I'm pretty hungry, I'm not a big fan of eating mouse, so if I just snap your neck and make it quick, would you be okay with that?"
Jerry nodded silently.
"Okay… here we go," Tails snapped the little mouse's neck in half and held him there until he heard a cannon. He then placed Jerry in the grass and got back in to the plane, which then took off into the sky.
"So that leaves me, Bowser, Lola, Phineas, and Ferb," Tails said to himself. "I wonder where they are." He looked back down at the screen on the control panel. He could see a boy with green hair and a boy with a head shaped like a Dorito working on something on the ground. He scoffed. "Whatever you're building, I bet I can build it better," he prepared to land the plane again, but was stopped when he felt something hit one of the spinning turbines. "Aw, crap," he mumbled. He attempted to land the plane again, and luckily succeeded. He hopped out of the plane. He heard something coming from behind him. Tails whipped around, but saw nothing but the grass. He then felt something slam the back of his head, and everything went black.
Chapter 16's done! Yay! For those who are confused about the Spearow joke, allow me to explain. You see, when Pokemon first aired (back when it was good) Ash and Pikachu got attacked by a flock of wild Spearow on the first day of their journey. Since Ash and Timmy are both ten and have very similar characteristics (minus personality, that's different) I thought I would stick that in there. Anyway, thanks for reading! See ya next time!
