Bubble takes a stand. By Herofox & Hellfox (On Mobius life goes on as usual. Tails and His friends are fighting against Storm and a number of mechas.) Storm: Do the math guys! You're outnumbered! Tails: You want math? Ok! Fifteen mechas, five good guys, three each! (Tails swings his sword. Flash cracks her whip. Saber slashes his Katanas. Hound swings his scythe. Bubble throws her spear. Just like that all the mechas are destroyed.) Storm: This isn't my day! Tails: It's NEVER your day! (He shoots some rockets at Storm.) Storm (jumps onto an airship.): I'll have my revenge! I'm going to kidnap someone close to you! Bubble: Didn't you try that already? (Storm laughs and flies away.) (Later Miles goes home. Its midnight. He opens the door to Mia's room.) Miles: I hope she's there. (Just as he thought Mia was lying in her bed. He went up to her and pulled her blanket up to her shoulders making sure she was warm enough.) Miles thoughts: I wonder if she'll ever be safe from Storm? (Meanwhile. At Sabers hut.) Cassie: At last we get a little rest. Sandy: Yeah. I need my beauty sleep. Ronnie: Wait.... There's something out there! Cassie: Of course there is dummy. You don't think the entire universe and all it's contents are going to be confined to a small MDF hut. Ronnie: You're philosophical for this time of evening. Cassie: Well I've just fought 15 Mechas and I'm tired so what do you expect? Sandy: Hey Cassie, take a chill pill and get to sleep. Cassie: Fine. See you in the morning. (Pretty much later they fall asleep, but little did they know that Ronnie was right. Storm was watching.) Storm: I said I would be back. And now you all will suffer the loss of someone you know. (Sandy awoke to sound of footsteps, and she tried to wake the others but couldn't As they were all too far gone into sleep. She Transforms and walked out.) Storm: Here have a present from the queen. (Storm throws a Knockout net over Bubble and it sends an electric shock that knocks her out.) Storm: Sweet dreams. (Bubble passes out.) (At Sally's palace...) ????: She's coming around. Bubble: Where...where am I? Sally: Where I want you...do you know why you are here? Storm: I knocked her out with the net before I had chance to tell her. Sally: Well it means I'll have to tell you then. You are now a prisoner of the Acorn Empire. And let me tell you this...no one has ever escaped the dungeons. Rotor: Didn't Tails escape once? Sally (growling): Shut up! Bubble: Are you trying to scare me witch queen? Cause if you are, it isn't working. Sally: HeHeHe... you don't get it do you? Storm, lock her in the dungeon. Storm: As you wish. Antoine: And what if a Z friend of er's come looking for her? Sally: Well you will have to dispose of them won't you? Antoine: I guess I would. (Storm takes Bubble to a prison cell.) Storm: Just stay there and keep quiet. If you're a good little girl I might let you play in the minefield. Bubble: Why are you doing this? Don't you remember what you were like before Sally put the control bug inside you? Storm: I don't care what I was like then, all I care about is now...but since you asked I don't remember much, but if I do remember stuff the control bug starts to give me great pain. So I tend not to remember things from my past. Bubble: But what really happened to you? (Storm starts to clutch his stomach, and starts to cry out in pain.) Storm: Aaaaarrrgggg...stop it you're making me remember things.... arrrggggggg. Bubble: Well if it causes you pain, think of the last battle you had with Tails. Storm: Hey, that's working, thanks, not that I needed your help. Bubble: See you're not that much of a tough guy. Storm: Just stop nattering or I'll drop the pit. Bubble: The pit? Storm: Yes the pit. Beneath you there is a large sliding door with a pit of cyber crocs in it. If I pull this lever all the way, (he pulls the lever a bit.) you will fall to your death. Bubble: Ok, I get the picture. So, where is the little girls room? Storm: Look in the corner. (Bubble looks in the corner.) Bubble: A BUCKET? YOU EXPECT ME TO GO IN THAT? Storm: Well I can't let you out to go the public one. If you could be trusted, then maybe I would be you're a freedom fighter so we don't trust you. Bubble: Well can you leave cause I need to go? Storm: Well I guess I can place Rotor on guard round the corner. Bubble: No, you can guard from the entrance, I'm not finished talking with you yet. Strom: Why? Bubble: Cause I want to know more about you. Bubbles thoughts: Well if he wasn't a bad guy with a control bug, I might ask him out. Storm: Well I cant I'm sorry but I have more important things to do. Bubble: Oh... So Sally rules your life as well as your mind. Storm: You're making this difficult...don't make me pull the lever. Bubble: Just go. (Storm walks out of the room ranting at himself.) Bubble: He's got a cute tail, but he's the enemy. But he's sooooo cute! How come at the worst possible moment, I get conflicting feelings!? (Outside a battle was taking place. Saber was punching the daylights out of Antoine.) Saber: Where is she!? Antoine: I'll never squeal! Storm: Take this! (He fires a stun blast at Saber.) Saber: Why can't I move? Storm: Cause, I've paralysed you. Now you can take this as well... (Storm hits him several times with his axe causing great pain to Saber. Saber is left unconscious and Storm and Antoine run for their lives.) Tails: We'd better take him back to base. Hound: Right, but if we take him back, you can go on. Tails: I guess you're right, but I can't leave him with you. He's too heavy. Flash: Don't worry. We can manage, and besides, you need to rescue Bubble. Tails: Ok. But only if you're sure you can get him back. Hound: C'mon lets go. (Tails runs off in to the distance following Storms trail, while Flash and Hound slowly drag Saber back too base.) Flash: Man, this guy's heavy! Saber (weakly): I herd that... (Back to Tails) Tails: First he injures my arm. Then he ruins the knothole carnival. Then He kidnaps Mia. Then Bubble. And now Saber almost died because of him. Storm. I'LL CRUSH YOU!!! (Meanwhile...In Bubbles cell...) Bubble singing: (Version of grand old duke of York) oh the noble Captain Kirk, He had 500 men, he beamed them up to the Enterprise then he beamed them down again. And when they were up they were up, and when they were down they were down, and when they were only half way up, they were no where to be found. (Stops singing.) At least I got rid of storm for a while. (Bubble takes a miniature homing device from the base of her shoe, and activates it.) Bubble: Now all I have to do is wait for Tails. Storm (enters the room): Hi I'm back! Now what did you want to talk about before? Bubble: Well...you see...I wanted to know about your past...who you were before you met Sally. Storm: ....I...don't...remember. Throughout my life, all I've done is fight, train to fight, and fight some more. (Storm starts to clutch his stomach and roll around in pain.) Storm: RAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!! Bubble: Oh sorry I forgot about the bug in your butt. Storm: Will you stop that, this is serious, besides it's not in my butt it's in my stomach. Bubble: Well Duh... I do have eyes you know. Storm: I do remember one thing though. My first fight. It was with...AAAAAARRRRGGGG!!! I've gotta go. The pain is unbearable! (He runs out of the room.) Bubble: Was Storm...a freedom fighter? I didn't think it was possible for a moron like him to be a freedom fighter. Antoine: I suppose I am Z how do you zay...Chopped sliver? Bubble: Oh...it's you. And its chopped liver Ant. Antoine: You are an impudent fuel! Bubble: It's fool Tony! Antoine: Don't call me that, and besides, the queen will be here soon and it will be her to torment you. Bubble: Oh that is good news. I'm going to be visited by the witch queen. Sally: What was that? Bubble: You heard? Sally: Well, I'll act as though I didn't. Now I believe you are trying to get to Storms past? Well don't even try; I've made the bug so that he will never remember about his past. Now I think it is time to find out what it is you know about both worlds. Bubble: What exactly are you going to do to me? Sally: Nothing much, just put a control bug in you. If the bug's in you, I'll know everything I need to know. Bubble: You cant! Sally: Just try and stop me. (All of a sudden an alert siren starts to siren.) Sally: Leave her, lets go find out what that is. (Everyone leaves then Storm walks in.) Bubble: Storm! What are you doing here? Storm: Shhhhhhh! (He unlocks her cell.) I set off the alarm. Now just get out of here. Once you reach the end of the staircase take a left, then 2nd right and through the vent. It'll suck you out of the building. Bubble: Why are you doing this? Is this some kind of trap you've made for Tails? Storm: Well...you...see I don't want any thing to happen to you. There's a feeling I have that's telling me not to let Sally put a bug in you. Maybe it's because of the pain I feel and I don't want you to go through it. I just don't know anymore... (Storm looks up at Bubble who is blushing.) Bubble: You really mean that don't you? Storm: Yes. Now go before I change my mind. Bubble: Thanks. (Bubble runs off and leaves Storm on his own.) Storm: Now I wait. (Suddenly a figure walks into the room, it was Tails, with fire in his eyes.) Tails: Where's Bubble!? Storm: I let her go. Tails: WWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Storm: I guess you can say I felt sorry for her. But now I think its time for our little rematch. Tails (draws his sword): I think I'll take you up on that offer. I'll make you pay for hurting Saber! I will defeat you in his honour! YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Storm (Draws his axe): Bring it on! YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! (Both of them charge at each other screaming with their weapons drawn, and their anger raging. They fight. Each attack blocked. Storm leaps up into the air and swings his axe at Tails. Tails punches Storm with an uppercut sending him backwards. Tails punches Storm again. Storm lands on his butt. Tails grabs Storms tail and swings him round, throwing him into the wall.) Tails: You've had it now! (He locks on his fox claw rockets.) Storm: Go ahead. Finish me off. Tails: Gladly. (He's just about to fire when.) Bubble: Tails stop! (She runs in front of Storm.) Tails: Bubble? Out of the way, it's dangerous! Bubble: Please Tails. You don't have to do this! Tails: But this fool's obsessed with fighting! Bubble (tears in her eyes): No he's not. Please Tails...lets just go home. Tails thoughts: Why is she doing this? Storm is the enemy. Does Storm really have a soft side? Well if I want to destroy Storm, I'll have to destroy HER first. (He deactives his gauntlets and replaces his sword.) But I would NEVER sacrifice one of my friends. Even if it ment taking down Robotnik himself. Tails: C'mon Bubble. Lets go home. (Bubble hugs Tails.) Bubble: Thank you Tails. (They leave.) Storm: Why would she risk herself to save me? Good question. Why DID she risk her life? How will this affect Storm?
