Chapter 24: District Break-In

Chapter 24! Yay! Thank you for your continuous support!

"How are we gonna get in there?" Sonic asked. The rebels were all standing in front of a large steel door with a brick wall going along the sides of it. They were still in the middle of the woods, knowing that Mistralton City and District 13 lay on the other side of that door.

Tails walked up it, looking for a way in. He spotted a small control panel on the wall. "It looks like I might be able to hack in to it," he said. "It might take me a while though."

"Joy!" Starfire exclaimed. "While the Tails is watching the locking pattern of the door, perhaps the rest of us shall split up and look for a way in."

"Good idea," Gwen said.

"I say that's a horrible plan," Heather said. "We should stay in one group to avoid losing anyone. Not that anyone here is especially useful anyway. Who's with me?"

The whole rebellion was silent. "So we're splitting up, right?" Sonic said to Zoey. She nodded.

Heather growled, then began to walk off in the opposite direction. "Fine. I'm going to find my own way in, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!"

"Shall we tell her about the electric fence?" Starfire whispered to Raven.

"Nah. I think she'll figure it out herself," Raven replied. The two Titans heard a crackling of electricity as Heather was zapped by the fence. Peter Griffin laughed, then began singing Bird is the Word. Raven used her demonic powers and taped his mouth shut with duct tape.

"Let's get moving," Angel said. She headed off in to one direction, Ash and Melaney following her. The others split up too, heading in opposite directions. Brock and Gwen stayed behind with Tails.

"What are you working on?" Brock asked. Gwen was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree. She had a small notebook in her hand, drawing a picture of Angel and Tails kissing.

"Just some fan art," she replied, not looking up from her work. "Why'd you ask?"

"Uh…just wondering," Brock said. Gwen wasn't really the time of girl he was usually interested in, even though she was beautiful. He was interested now though… I'm not gonna blow it this time!

"C'mon," Tails mumbled to himself, working at the wires of the control panel with a pair of tweezers. He still hadn't noticed that Gwen and Brock were standing a few feet away. "I got it!" he exclaimed. He cut one of the wires the saw a small spark of electricity. "Uh-oh." He said. The spark broke loose, zapping him and causing him to fall to the ground. "Ow," he mumbled as he stood up. He went back to working on the control panel.

Meanwhile, Angel, Melaney and Ash were walking along the brick wall, looking for a breach in it.

"Man, we're never gonna find a way in," he said. The only way to get in to District 13 would be to go under or over the wall. An easy task for someone who could fly, but they all needed to be able to get in.

"Of course we will," Angel said. "If we don't find it, Tails will find a way in, I'm sure of it."

"Oh yeah," Ash said. "I've been meaning to ask you about that. Are you two really good buddies or something?"

Angel and Melaney both gave him a questioning look. "You're kidding, right?" Angel said.

"No," Ash said with a straight face. He honestly had no idea about the two of them. "I just see you guys kiss a lot and stuff. My friends and I never do that."

"He has to be doing this on purpose," Melaney whispered to Angel. "Nobody's that dumb."

Angel sighed. "The mind of a ten-year-old," she mumbled. "No wonder why he hasn't figured out that Misty likes him yet."

"What was that?" Ash asked. He thought he didn't hear her right.

"It's nothing," Angel said. She and Melaney continued to walk along the wall, leaving Ash behind.

"Wait!" Ash exclaimed, running after her. "You still haven't answered my question yet!"

Doofenshmirtz, Rouge and Knuckles were further away from the wall, looking for a tunnel that could lead them in to the city. Doofenshmirtz kept a steady distance away from Rouge.

"What's the problem?" Rouge asked. "You afraid of a little bat like me?"

"I'm just not a fan of bats, okay?" Doofenshmirtz said. "Just…just stay away from me!"

"I can't exactly blame you," Knuckles mumbled. "Rouge is no joy to hang around with, trust me." Rouge had overheard his comment, and gave him a swift kick to the knee.

"Ow," he whispered.

On the other side of the woods, Zoey and Duncan were searching for the same thing: a way in. Zoey moved swiftly through the treetops while Duncan struggled to keep up with her on the ground. "Why do you have to move so quickly?!" he panted.

"Quiet!" she scolded. "I'm letting my warrior instincts guide me. They'll know what to do."

"Yeah, well can they lead us to some food? Brock didn't make breakfast and I'm starving."

Zoey picked up an Oran Berry and chucked it at Duncan's head. "Thanks," he said sarcastically. He picked the berry up off of the ground and took a bite out of it. "Gross," he said. "They served better stuff in Juvie than this."

"You wanted breakfast, and now you have it," Zoey said, irritated. "Now start searching again!" She hopped through the trees, then disappeared from sight.

Ash continued to follow Angel Melaney along the wall of the District. "You still haven't answered," he said.

"You wouldn't understand," Angel said. "Besides, I don't have to talk about my relationship to you."

"Relationship?" Ash repeated. "What kind of-"

"SCREW THIS! I GIVE UP ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP!"

"What was that?" Ash said, looking towards the direction of the door.

"I see a very pissed off fox in your future," Melaney said to Angel.

"Well let's hope you're not psychic," Angel replied. She sprinted towards the door, Melaney and Ash close behind her. By the time they had reached where Tails was, the rest of the rebellion had already arrived.

"Rrragh!" Tails shouted. He had a crowbar in his hand and was smacking the control panel repeatedly with it. It was evident that something had made him lose his temper.

"What are you doing?!" Cilan exclaimed. "I thought you were going to use science to-"

"SCREW SCIENCE!" Tails yelled. He hit the control panel with the crowbar again. "I've been zapped by this damn thing six freakin times today, and I'm sick of it! Not only that, but THOSE two have been flirting this entire time, despite the fact that I passed out three times from shock!" he yelled, pointing at Brock and Gwen.

"Whoa, you've been flirting with my girlfriend?" Duncan said, pointing at Brock.

"Wait a minute," Iris said. She walked over to the door, then gave it a big push. It swung open with ease. "Some doors are unlocked, you know." She walked inside, the rest of the rebellion following her.

"But…but…" Tails stuttered. "But…it wasn't…I went through all of that for…" a sigh escaped his lips, then he fell to the ground unconscious.

Sonic rushed to his side. "You okay, buddy?" he helped Tails stand to his feet.

"I'm fine," he groaned. "Just shocked. Literally." He, Sonic, and Angel followed the others through the steel door.

"Ah, Mistralton City," Cilan said, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. "I've missed this place."

"Yeah," Ash said. "I had one of my greatest Gym battles here," he remembered, thinking about his amazing battle with Skyla. Iris nodded in agreement.

"Just remember what we came here for," Zoey said. "Just get supplies, then we keep moving." She headed for one of the buildings in hopes for finding something useful.

"I've had enough of this place already," Tails said, looking down at the ground.

Angel smiled. "I thought you might say that. C'mon, I've got something to show you." She grabbed Tails' hand and led him to a large paved runway. "Now look at this."

Tails looked down the runway and stared in astonishment. There were at least one hundred different types of planes and jets, all different colors and designs. "Wow," was all he could say.

"Mistralton City," Angel said. "The whole city is surrounded by planes and things that fly. I thought you might like it."

"It's amazing," Tails replied. "Wait a sec," he sped off down the runway, in search of a specific plane. "Yes!" he exclaimed. "Angel, come over here!"

Angel flew to where Tails was standing. "What is it?" she asked curiously.

"Look," Tails said, gesturing to the plane that he was leaning against. It was small, blue and seated two people, and had a small propeller on the front. On the side it spelled Sonic, but on the tip of each wing was Tails' logo: two orange tails.

"Is this…?"

"The Tornado," Tails said proudly. He jumped in the pilot's seat, checking all of the gears. "The Capitol must have taken it from us and hid it here," he said. "I'm glad it's safe."

"You definitely are an unmatched talent," Angel said.

Tails nodded, grinning. "C'mon. Let's go tell the others." Angel jumped in to the passenger's seat behind Tails, and they took off in to the sky. A few minutes later, the Tornado landed in front of the Pokémon Center where the rest of the rebels were. "Sonic, you'll never believe it!"

"What's up, Tails?" Sonic asked.

"We found the Tornado!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"I do not understand," Starfire said. "Would it not be bad to find a natural disaster that destroys the beautiful nature of the Earth?"

"The Tornado is a plane," Amy explained to the Titan. "It's one of Tails' best creations."

"Ohh," Starfire said. "I understand now."

"The question is," Cilan said. "Can we take it with us?"

Everyone turned to him. He was right. Even if the Tornado was a small plane, it could easily be detected by the Capitol.

"It's fine," Zoey said. "We could use it. Is it armed?" she asked the fox.

Tails nodded silently.

"Joy!" Starfire exclaimed. "We shall take the natural disaster with us!"

The rebels heard a voice come from behind them. "Before you go, I think I might be able to help."

Ash and Tails turned around. "Skyla?!"

That's chapter 24! Yay! I couldn't resist, I just had to have Tails go in to Mistralton City. Seriously that city was like, MADE for him. Tails without the Tornado is like Magikarp without Splash (this is only funny if you know you're Pokémon) but of course, Tails and the Tornado are INFINITELY better than Magikarp and Splash. I don't care if it evolves in to something awesome, MAGIKARP SUCKS! Anyway, thank you for reading :)
