The Skies, In the Tornado
Tails decided let Sticks ride in the Tornado with him. Tails thought it was weird that Sticks asked him if she could ride with him. She seemed to be enjoying.
"You enjoying the ride, Sticks?" Tails asked.
"This is so much funner than riding on vines in Wood Zone!" Sticks yelled.
"Um… funner isn't a word, Sticks, because the word 'fun' is a noun, not an adjective and…" Tails corrected.
"Tails! Watch out!" Sticks yelled. They were heading straight into one of Eggman's ships, which was carrying a shipment of Badniks and Egg Fighters! Tails moved out of way, then making a u-turn so he could shoot the ship.
"It's heading for Wood Zone!" Sticks yelled. "It must working with the government spies!"
"Egg Army!" Tails corrected. "Sonic should have dealt with them…" Tails started calling Sonic. "Tails here. Sonic, what happened to the Egg Army?"
"Well, you see…" Sonic said. "Eggman's Egg Bosses stepped up their game. And, well, caught us by surprize!"
"Are you alright?" Tails asked.
"Yeah, I was alright but my team were scattered. I'm not sure what happen to them. Couldn't get a signal until now. I was about to call them until you called."
"Ok, you do that while Sticks and I try to defeat the Egg Army!" Tails said, hanging up.
"Wait… we're going to fight them?" Sticks asked. "Tails, can we turn back? I've battle with them and you saw how that turned out! And we know how it turned out with your friends!"
"We need to save Wood Zone, Sticks," Tails said. "You want to save your home, don't you?"
"Yes, but-"
"But what?"
"I don't want to see you hurt…" Sticks said. "I don't think I could forgive myself if you were hurt protecting me or my home," Tails eyes opened wide. He felt like kissing her but knew that was a bad idea, judging he was avoiding attacks from Eggman's ship.
"I know how you feel, Sticks," Tails said, with tears coming out of his eyes but not letting Sticks see. "If I saw you in the state you were in when I first found you, now that I've gotten to know you, I never forgive myself for not being there to protect you." Tails shot down the ship. He flew over Wood Zone. Most of it was gone! Some Egg Army Tanks shot upwards, hitting the Tornado's wing. The Tornado falling down into the forest. Tails got out of his seat and held his hand up to Sticks.
"Hold on," Tails said. "Trust me." Stick grabbed his hand. Tails jumped of the Tornado with Sticks and grabbed her other hand. He then use his tails to fly down slowly to the ground.
Wood Zone
Tails and Sticks landed.
"Good, we're safe. We need to…" Tails started saying but was interrupted when Sticks kissed Tails on the lips for a good 30 seconds. When it was over, Tails' face was bright red.
"That's for saving me," Sticks said.
"Sticks…" Tails said, quietly. Tails ran up to Sticks and hugged her tight. Sticks hugged back. "Thank you." They both stopped hugging and started walking.
"You got the idea to kiss me after something life-threatening from the movie last night, didn't you?" Tails asked.
"Where else would I get the idea?" Stick said.
"Aww, cute," A voice said. Tails and Sticks turned around, only to be met by Clove and Cassia with a bunch of Egg Fighters.
"I'll be sure to make the both of you work together when we roboticize you both!" Clove smiled. "You two can be the first ever roboticized couple!"
Sorry for the short chapter but I needed a cliffhanger because I'm evil.
