Tail's supershoes --------------------INVENTORY COMPLETE---------------------- "Computer, number two," Sonic said. "I haven't found the other six yet. Do you have any idea where they may be?" "Not really Sonic. Maybe Robotnik has them," A.N.T said. A year has passed since the last meeting occurred between Sonic and Robotnik. In that time Tails has begun to recuperate. Binx and Sonic are going out, ever since that dreadful kidnapping. Princess Sally doesn't mind, she is going out with Tails. She has been drawn to him, she has helped him walk, made his breakfast every morning, and read him stories like Sonic used to do at night. Binx's two friends Benny and Harry also came. Herbie and Shanny made a cabin right next to Sonic and Tails. Rotor has spent his time making new inventions. Everything is just perfect. Rotor said Tails should stay in a wheelchair until he feels he is better. "So Binx, what are your plans for today? Do you want to come and sit by the lake with me when Sally gets back? I don't want Tails to be home alone. Rotor is busy working on his invention. Will he ever quit?" Sonic chuckled. "I would love to come with you Sonic. Oh, and Rotor is just really attached to his inventions, just like you are to me! Where are Herbie and everyone else? Are they at home?" "I don't know, I think they went fishing. Binx, I am glad you came back when you did. Do you know a girl named Cowacart?" "Yeah, she is one of my other friends. She's coming next week. Why?" "Well is she...uh...nice??" "Sonic, you are so cute!!" "I know, I know. I'm sure I can become friends with her easily." "Sonic? Are you here? Can someone help me?" a voice asked. "Sure Tails, what do you need?" "I need to go to the bathroom really bad!" At that moment there was a loud knock at the door. Chapter 2 "Who's there?" Sonic asked. No one answered. "I'll open the door, Sonic. You help Tails," Binx told him. At the door there was a note. "Probably from Cowacart," Binx said. "She is so nice to send me a card. I wonder when she is coming." But it was not from Cowacart. It was folded in half and had a red substance on it. `Blood!' Binx thought. She picked it up carefully and unfolded it: Hedgehog, I'm back! You haven't gotten rid of met yet and you never will! I know where you live, I am watching your every move. Don't plan on getting away this time! Oh, how's that pest Tails? I heard he just barely made it past that little incident last year. Next time both of you will pay for trying to kill me. Binx and Sally better watch out too. They're not out of the woods yet. I'm not done with them! Sweet Dreams Hedgehog.. The evil one "Noooo! Sonic come quick! Read this note! He's back! He can't be! He is dead, isn't he? Sonic! He's not done with us! What are we going to do?" "Calm down, there isn't such a thing as life after death. He is dead! Someone is playing a prank on us. Rotor, Herbie, Shanny, Benny, Harry, Sally, and Tails..come quick!" "What do you want Sonic? Binx! You look like you saw a ghost!" Benny said as everyone ran in. "Look at this note Binx found at the door." "Now I call that a real stupid prank," Shanny said. "Who would do such a thing?" Harry said. "I have no idea Harry," Benny answered. "Binx, are you okay? You look a little pale," Herbie told her. "Oh boy, he can't be back!" Sally said. "Calm down everyone! It's just a prank, I am sure of it," Rotor said. "Sonic! PLEASE I have to go to the- hey, what's wrong everyone?" Tails asked. "We shouldn't tell Tails. He might get upset," Sonic whispered, "This is not looking good, guys. IF he is back which he is not, I won't have a partner. Tails wouldn't even want to look at the castle let alone go in it. But we don't have to worry about that, do we? Let's just have a good time. A little note won't scare Sonic the Hedgehog!" "You never know Sonic," Binx said. "Sally, you look sick. Oh Sally! Come on, come sit next to me. Sonic, go get some water. He is dead. God, why did I say he is back? That was very stupid of me." Sally was shaking, just the thought of Robotnik made her sick. All the memories came back. The glow and then seeing Sonic, then learning that he was in love with Binx. "I am NOT jealous of Binx. Tails is so cute, he makes me so happy. But I still...have some feelings for Sonic," she thought to herself. Chapter 3 "Who are you?" Clucky said. He survived the accident. "I am Sonic's worst nightmare. Robotnik sent me to you, I guess as a reminder of him." "He is dead, isn't he?" "Just tell me where I can find the twirp." Clucky was staring into the eyes of a seven foot monster. You may know as Sonic X. Robotnik was in the middle of making him when Binx came along. (He fought Sonic three years ago in Sonic 2.) Now even Clucky was scared of Robotnik's creation. "He is uh, in the woods. There are two cabins right in a row. Watch out for that little dork Tails. The idiot. We almost killed him before." "I'll finish him off." Sonic X left using his Sonic Spindash*. "Hey Tails, you are finally getting outside. Well, not walking. You know, I would rather be in a wheelchair like you. I need to give my legs a rest. All this Sonic Spindash* is making me tired. My legs are like lead," Sonic said. "I wish you could teach me the Sonic Spindash*. But I'm not Sonic. What could you call it?" "I know, the Tails Thrasher*. Now it is your move. How is that?" "Cool! The Tails Thrasher*! It's official. Sonic, when can I get out of this wheelchair? I think am I all better." "Get up." "What?" "You heard me, get up." "Whatever you say." Pain raced through Tail's legs as he struggled to get up. With Sonic's help Tails was standing. He felt like he was on air. All of the sudden, the pain was gone. "Go Tails! Do the Tails Thrasher*!" "TAILS THRASHER*!" In seconds, Tails was racing towards the cabins, wanting to shot his girlfriend Sally that miracles do happen! "Herb, where are Binx and Sonic?" Shanny asked. "By the lake. Did you see Tails? He told me to tell Sally that he is `all better'. Yeah, right. What now? He can wiggle his toes? I am getting sick of him saying `all better, all better, all better'. He will never be the same." "EVERYONE! COME QUICK! IT'S A MIRACLE! TAILS....HE, HE CAN WALK! ALLELUIA! SONIC, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Sally screamed from the next cabin. Shanny and Herbie ran over and went in to see what was going on. "I told him to get out of his wheelchair and...he did. I am not surprised. I knew he could walk." "Thank you so much Sonic. I got my REAL hero back!" She reached over and kissed Sonic. She did enjoy that!! "Whoa, thanks a lot. You're, you're great." "I know. Now do you know what you are missing?" "I have everything I want right over there," he pointed to Binx, who was talking with Tails. "I know you want me Sally, but I'M TAKEN!" Sally couldn't believe what she was hearing. `Is this the Sonic I know and love? It couldn't be. Sonic never hurt me like this before. What is his problem?' she thought. Suddenly the whole cabin shook as there was a knock at the door. Chapter 4 "Who's there?" Sonic asked. There was heavy breathing coming from the other side of the door. "I am not even going towards the door. It is probably Robotnik," Sally said, she helped Tails into the bathroom and shut the door. "WILL SOMEONE ANSWER THE DOOR? I RAN ALL THE WAY HERE!" Binx opened the door. "Cowacart! Waz up? How are you?" "Not bad Binx. Hey, is this Sonic? Boy you HAVE changed. TAILS! Hey, how are you? Lookin' good my man!" "Excuse me, let me correct you. He is my man. Not yours jerk," Sally stated. "What crawled up your nose and died?!" Sally stormed out. Cowacart thought it was hilarious. Binx however, did not. "Cowacart, Why don't you just grow up? You just got here and you are already insulting people!" "That's what I do." "Shut up before I make you!" "Ladies! Sort it out later. If Tails finds out about this incident, well, let's just say he won't be very happy," Sonic yelled, as he went to get Tails out of the bathroom. Sonic X was having a tough time finding the two cabins standing right next to each other. There was a rustling sound in the trees up ahead. "Who's there? Show yourself to me, the most powerful being of all! Hello?" No one answered. "Just my imagination." "Sonic? Ready or not, here I come?" "Yes!" Sonic X whispered. "It's Tails! Wait, that's Tails? If it is, I wonder what Sonic looks like!" "Sonic? Are you over there?" "SONIC X SPINDASH*!" Sonic X sped right past Tails. "Oh Sonic! Hey, you're going really fast!" "Tails, I am right here!" Sonic said, stepping into the clearing in front of Tails. "WHAT?" "I am right here." "Well, someone or something just went by. It was faster than you!" "Ha ha Tails. Let's go home." Then it happened. A trap. Sonic started to walk to the cabins when he slipped and fell, the ground below him falling out from under his feet. "SSSSSOOOOONNNNNIIIIICCCCC!" "Tails! Go get the others! Hurry!" he called from inside the hole. Tails turned around. A shadowy figure stood in his way. "Uh, excuse m-me." "You ain't going no where, you little brat. You got to get passed me first." Chapter 5 "What do you mean?" "Fight me if you want to save your pal." "TAILS THRASHER*!" Tails charged at Sonic X using the Tails Thrasher. Sonic X flew into the air and landed right on the edge of Dead Man's cliff. "Oh you little mouse! You're gonna wish you never did that!" Sonic X transformed into a metal ball. He looked like a sea urchin. Tails heard a high pitch sound, then he realized that Sonic X was spinning so fast that he was producing the sound. Tails did the only thing he could do at that point, stand and watch this evil being get ready to kill him. But the plan back fired. Tails knew that Sonic X was spinning the wrong way. Sonic X laughed. "You're going to be roadkill pip- squeak!" "Um....Mr. Sonic X, I think I should be the one telling that to you!!" "WHAT??" Sonic X realized that he was going to move the wrong way. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sonic X fell down into the bottomless pit of Dead Man's cliff. Chapter 6 "Sonic! Did you see that?" he said, bending over the hole. "I only heard it Tails." "I beat the Sonic look-a-like guy! Three cheers for me this time!" "Three cheers for....Tails, w-what is that sound?" Tails didn't want to know what was behind him. He finally turned and looked at the cliff. A bloody hand was resting on the edge of the cliff. Seconds later another one appeared. "Tails? What's there?" "Oh no." "Tails, what is it?" "OH no." "Tails?" "ROBOTNIK! HE'S NOT DEAD! HE'S...HE'S BACK!" The figure was now almost on the cliff. It was Robotnik, his eyes were red and glaring at Tails. "What did I say fox? Didn't I say I would be back? I have been living in a cave at the bottom of this cliff. Oh, and I see you are better. Almost died, huh? Well, I'll finish that off." "Robotnik! Oh geez!" Sonic yelled from inside the hole. "PLEASE! DON'T KILL ME!" Tails gasped. "OH NO!" Tails collapsed as he saw Sally standing next to Robotnik. "SALLY! PLEASE DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE, YOU'VE, GONE BAD! WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO YOU?" "Robotnik treated me nice. Robotnik gave me a place to live. He cared. When Sonic saved me, I thought everything would be fine. But Sonic hated me, I could tell. So I brought Robotnik back to life." "SALLY! PLEASE! I...I LOVE YOU! I'VE NEVER LOVED ANYONE AS MUCH AS I'VE LOVED YOU!" Sally walked over to Tails and shoved him into the hole. "That should get rid of him," she thought. "Boy, this is really easy!" "If you were a real friend you would help us out of this hole. But, since you are working for that stupid, pig- headed dweeb, then, well, you wouldn't," Sonic told her. "STOP WHERE YOU ARE SALLY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" Sally turned around. "Binx! I have to get rid of you also?" "Looks like it." "Tails, how are we going to get out of here?" Sonic asked him. "I know...TAILS THRASHER* time!!!" Tails yelled. "That won't work stupid, we're just going to have to wait and listen to Binx get her butt whipped," Sonic sighed. "Nope, Sonic. You wait, watch what I've learned!" Tails started spinning, just as Sonic X had done. He pushed forward and dirt fell everywhere. When Tails stopped spinning, the dirt was on a slope, and they could now just climb the dirt mound. "Nice job Tails!" Sonic heard a scream coming from outside the hole. Chapter 7 As they reached the surface, Sonic looked around. Sally was laying on the ground. He then saw that she wasn't breathing. Binx was fine. Robotnik just stood there, and laughed. "There is nothing funny about someone dying Robotnik," Sonic told him. "It's not that, look who's here!" Sonic X stepped out from behind Robotnik. He was very mad, and he wanted revenge....on Tails. "Holy crap! Look at you!" Sonic said. "Shut up hedgehog." Sonic X walked over to Tails. Tails was sweating. "What do you want?" Tails asked, in a cocky voice. "Kill the fox.." Sonic X lifted his hands, and claws came out of his metal hands. He then clawed Tails with his powerful claws. Tails fell, and Sonic X stood over him. "Say good-bye to your friends fox." At that moment Sonic X stabbed Tails with one of his claws. Tails let out a scream. Sonic X pulled the claw back out. All Sonic could do was watch. "You stupid piece of metal! SONIC SPINDASH*!" Sonic said. Sonic spindashed at Sonic X. Sonic X then toppled over the cliff again. Sonic smiled. But there was still Robotnik. "Robotnik? Where did he go?" Sonic asked. "I don't know Sonic," Binx said. "Sonic, are you there?" Sally mumbled. "Are you okay?" Sonic asked, running over to her. "Yeah, I'm sorry everyone. I really am, I don't know what came over me." "That's okay, Come on, help me with Tails," Sonic smiled. "Sonic....help...." "Tails! You're alive!" Sonic yelled, they ran over to Tails and Sally grabbed his hand. "We have to get him home Sonic, hurry," Sally cried. They carried Tails home, knowing a second miracle had occurred.
