Chapter 12: SA1 Part 3

"TIKAL!" Tangle shouted as she sprung up from the couch.

"WHOA!" Chuck shouted in surprise. "Tangle? Are you alright?"

"Uh… yeah… What happened?" Tangle asked.

"After you, Sonic and Knuckles beat that Chaos monster down town, you suddenly passed out." Chuck explained. "What happened anyways?"

"Oh, uh… guess that thing hurt me a lot more than I thought!" Tangle lied with a slight laugh. "So uh… how long was I out?"

"A couple of days…" Chuck said. "Sonic and Tails went to find the Chaos Emeralds again, but, long story short, they got shot down by Eggman's new airship."

"Oof… are they alright?" Tangle asked.

"Well, Sonic went off to go find Amy and Cream, and Tails is outside right now, fixing up the X-Tornado." Chuck explained.

"Ok… I guess I'll go see him then." Tangle said before walking outside.

'Sonic and Knuckles were in that… dream? Vision? Whatever that was… I better talk to Sonic about that when I see him…'

She quickly made her way to the garage where Tails was finishing his repairs on the X-Tornado.

"Hey, Tails!" Tangle shouted as she approached him.

"Tangle! You're awake!" Tails said as he turned towards her.

She immediately noticed the bandage wrapped around his head.

"Oof… that crash must of hurt…"

"Yeah… thankfully Amy was nearby, and she was able to get us help." Tails explained.

"That's good…" Tangle said. She then noticed how down the fox looked. "Hey, we'll figure this all out. Just have faith!"

"Right… thanks." Tails said.

"Tails! There's trouble!"

"Huh?"

Sonic then came running towards them, carrying Cream and Cheese on his back.

"Tangle? You finally woke up!" Sonic said.

"Yeah, just a bit ago." Tangle explained.

"I am so glad that you're ok Ms. Tangle!" Cream said with a smile.

"Yeah, me too." Tangle said. "So, what's going on?"

Sonic then had a grim look on his face.

"Amy's been kidnapped…"


Shortly after Sonic caught the two of them up on what was going on with Amy, they quickly boarded the X-Tornado, and took off.

"Tails… are you sure you're alright?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, we have to hurry and get to Amy!" Tails said.

"If you say so… what about you Tangle?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, you were out for a while there… you sure you should be up and about already?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine…" Tangle said. "Hey Sonic, does the name 'Tikal' mean anything to you?"

"Tikal? No, why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason. Just something I heard once." Tangle said.

'Either he doesn't remember what happened… or he hasn't seen that yet…'

She then remembered what Knuckles said in that dream.

"You were helping us out on the Egg Carrier earlier!"

'Maybe… Tikal'll show them that stuff later…?'

"You sure you're alright?" Sonic asked, wondering why Tangle was staring off into space.

"Yeah, I told you, I'm fine." Tangle said. "Let's just focus on saving Amy and stopping Eggman for now."

"…Right."

Then Sonic's ear perked up.

"Amy?"

"Sonic?" Tangle asked.

"Tails! Go that way!" Sonic suddenly said as he pointed to the left.

"Uh, Right!"

They turned in that direction, and started making their way towards some canyons.

"Hey, is that Knuckles down there?" Tangle suddenly asked.

"Yeah, I think it is. Let's pick him up!" Sonic said as the X-Tornado turned into the X-Cyclone and went down to land.

Shortly after picking up Knuckles, they were engaged in a dogfight with the Egg Carrier.

"He's charging up something big Tails!" Tangle said.

"Then it's time for my ace in the hole!" Tails said. "Brace yourselves! And try not to bite your tongues!"

"HUH?!" Sonic and Knuckles shouted together as Tails flipped a switch.

They were then able to easily avoid the laser that was fired at them, as the X-Tornado transformed into it's Battle Suit Mode.

"WHEN IN THE WORLD DID YOU ADD THIS?!" Tangle asked.

"Earlier today."

"HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU SO SMART?!" Tangle asked.

"Hehehe… thanks." Tails said.

The rest of the dogfight went well for them, despite the Egg Carrier undergoing it's own transformation.

Eventually…

"Alright! We're in!"

"Great! Now time to land!" Tangle said.

"… Uh oh…"

"What's up?!"

"THIS FORM HAS NO LEGS!" Tails suddenly screamed.

"… WHAAAAAAAAA-"

Crash
