Tails in charge...again
by Hero fox
But first...the legal stuff
All characters in this story are copyright of Archie Comics and Sega.
I don't get paid for writing fan fiction. For me it's just a hobby.
Before you start reading please note that this time the action takes place TWO years after Elias ran away, so think of it as a prequel to Kintobor wars.
This time Tails voice actor is Brian Donovan and Sonics is Cam Clark (who did it in SA1).
B.T.W. I am hoping that this is put up on the fan-fic site before January 1st
If it does...HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Scene 1-the great forest-its morning
(All you can see is beautiful scenery for 10 seconds, then a blue and orange blur races past shaking all the leaves off the trees. The main theme to AoSTH starts playing)
Sonic: Sure ya wanna do this big guy? You've never actually beaten me ya know?
Tails: Things change Sonnie boy! Sometimes overnight! JET ANKLETS ACTIVATE!
(Two silver anklets appear on Tails heels and he flies even faster. He passes Sonic.)
Sonic: HEY! That's cheating!
Tails (looking back to gloat at Sonic): Alls fair in love and war slow-mo!
(Sonic stops and folds his arms. Off screen you can hear a CRASH noise.)
(Sonic walks over to Tails who has his head stuck through a tree. He has one eye half-shut, his tong is sticking out and stars are orbiting his head.)
Sonic (turns to the audience): Always remember...A winner never cheats, and a cheater never wins!
(Sonic runs back to Knothole where all the others are waiting for the winner.)
(Sonic crosses the finish line. All cheer. Sally goes over to kiss Sonic but Mina uses her speed to kiss him first. Sonic laughs and pats Mina on her back.)
Sally's thoughts: If I still had the deep power stones I'd run right over that snake-eating hussy!
(Tails enters. Stars are still orbiting his head.)
Sonic: Remember our deal loser? Whoever loses has to pay for the eats!
Tails: Yeah Yeah! (Whispers) Ya big fat idiot!
Next day-
(Sonic is packing a backpack.)
Jules: Are you sure you want to do this Son. No-ones forcing you to go if you don't want to.
Sonic: I know dad. But I do want to go.
Jules: In that case, you'd better tell your friends your leaving.
Just outside-
(All the FFs are gathered outside Sonics house.)
Sally: So what's this thing you wanted to tell us Sonic?
Sonic: well...no big deal or anything but... I'm going to military school and I won't be back for a couple of weeks.
All: WHAAAAAAAATTT!!!
Mina: YOU'RE LEAVING US!?
Amy: TO GO TO MILITERY SCHOOL!?
Sally: FOR TWO WEEKS!?
Sonic: Yeah...that's basically...what I just said.
Tails: I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THIS!?
Sonic: Sorry Tails. Dad knew about it.
Rotor: So what's with this army stuff all of a sudden?
Jules: I'll explain that. Last week, when I went on vacation to Icecap Mountain, I met my old army drill sergeant, Sgt Doberman. We talked and he told me to ask Sonic, if he would like to serve as an apprentice under his command.
Antoine: Zo why are you going Zoneec.
Sonic: Because I realised that I have to become a better leader for the freedom fighters, if we ever hope to stand a chance against Robotnik.
Amy: But what are we supposed to do without you Sonic? These guys wouldn't last five seconds against Eggman without you!
(Rotor and Antoine are scowling behind Amy with very large hammers. She looks at them and gets a sweat drop.)
Mina: WE SHOULD SEND TAILS!!!
Tails: Huh? Why me!?
Mina: YOU'RE ASSIGNED TO BE THE LEADER OF THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS AFTER SONIC! I KNOW HOW TO GET YOU TO DOBERMAN! DULCY! GET HIM!!!
(Dulcy grabs him by the tail and drags him into the air.)
All ff's: Good-bye now! See ya later!
Sonic: Put him down!
(Dulcy drops Tails and he lands it the lake.)
Sonic: Have you forgotten that this is MY decision?
All: Sorry Sonic.
Sonic: I think its Tails you should apologise to. He's the one who took an unexpected swimming lesion.
A little later-
Rotor: Have fun Sonic.
Antoine: Arivoir my comrade.
Bunnie: We'll be seein ya suga.
Amy: Don't forget to write!
Sonic: Don't worry I wont! OH! By the way. Tails, your in charge till I get back.
All: WWWHHAAAAAAAAAT!?
Sonic: Is WWWHHAAAAAAAAT! The main word for today or something?
Sally: Have you forgotten that I...Underline I...am THE leader of this group?
Sonic: No but I think YOU forgot about your princess lesions!
Sally (looking at her watch): HE'S RIGHT! Posture starts in ten minutes!
(She goes to kiss Sonic but Mina gets to him first again)
Sally's thoughts: I HATE THAT MONGOOSE!!!
Sonic: See ya guys. UP! OVER! AND GONE!
(Sonic speeds off towards the mountains.)
Rotor: So "boss"...what should we do now?
Tails: Well...
(All silent for a minuet. Everyone has a sweat drop)
Tails: Errrrr? Maybe we should train?
Amy: That's a good suggestion. We haven't fought in while.
Tails: OK! Everyone pair up! If there's an odd number of us, whoever's left is with me!
(They pair up. Rotor and Antoine become partners. Amy and Bunnie get together leaving Tails and Mina to pair up.)
Tails: I guess we should do some speed training.
Mina: You couldn't beat me, even with the jet anklets!
Tails: Hey, if I can't beat you, then I'm a Dutchman!
Antoine (speaking Dutch): Halloo Yakum!
Tails: Halloo! A randy, boot, clock, dike, windmill...YOU!!!
(He punches Antoine. Antoine kicks Tails between the legs.)
Later- Tails and Rotor are outside a weapons factory in Robotropolis.
Tails: It still hurts.
Rotor: I don't think Antoine meant to kick you THAT hard.
Tails: It's not how hard his kick was, it's WHERE he kicked me.
Rotor: Any way the plan is this. We go in, disguised as workers. Planting bombs and bugs as we go along. We'll stay in a motel and we can pose as workers for about a week. When that weeks up we blow the joint. Literally!
Tails: Now you're talking! (He speeds off screen then comes back on again)
Wait a sec...how are we supposed to look like human workers?
Rotor: With these! (He produces a pair of gadgets that look like power rings. Except they're yellow with a grey stripe)
Rotor: These are called "Ringadgets" I took DNA from Robotnik and Snivley, and loaded it into these handy hand held devices.
All we have to do is press a button, jump through the ring when it expands, and hey presto! We're human!
Tails (has a sweat drop): Sometimes I wish you weren't so smart so you wouldn't have so much to tell me.
(Tails and Rotor activate the ringadgets. Tails now looks like Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing, except his hair is orange. Rotor looks like Neflite from Sailor Moon.)
Rotor: Well at least MY inventions work.
Tails: WHY YOU BIG FAT...
(Tails and Rotor start to fight. All you can see is a dust cloud with an occasional fist popping out.)
Later- in the motel
(Tails and Rotor have a few bruises. Tails is looking through a pair of binoculars out the window at the Robotropolis casino. There is a knock at the door.)
Rotor: I'll get it!
(At the door is a man who looks like Jedite from Sailor Moon)
Rotor: It's about time.
(The two walk over to Tails.)
Rotor: Antoine's here.
Tails: We're starting to see some action now. Take a look guys.
(Rotor takes the binoculars.)
Rotor: A casino?
Tails: I thought that the orphanage back in Knothole could use a little funding. Not to mention my workshop!
Antoine: Zo ve av a classic Robin Hood scenario ere. Rob zee rich to feed zee poor!
Rotor: But, if we rob that casino...will we still be good guys, or bad guys? It's still stealing, even if it is Robotnik.
Tails: Not really. We're just...borrowing from a guy that's too insane to miss any.
Antoine: BORROWING!?
(All three laugh like mad.)
Rotor: OK! So what's the plan for this heist?
Tails: Well, as usual we're going to case the joint first, we'll make off with the green stuff after our week is up.
Antoine: Good plan! Come Rotor. Let us dawn our tuxedos.
Tails: You guys brought tuxedos?
Rotor: Well you see...we planed on having a little fun while we look like humans.
Tails: But what am I supposed to do at night? I'm too young to go in casinos!
Rotor: You could write a fan-fic about something?
Tails: That's not a bad idea. I've had a great idea for a Skies of Arcadia story.
Later- Rotor and Antoine come back dressed in their tuxedos. It is obvious that they are drunk.
Rotor: I ONCE LOVED A GIRL SHE WAS HANDSOME! TO PLEASE HER I TRIDE ALL I KNEW!
(He collapses onto the floor)
Antoine: 15 MEN ON THE DEAD MANS CHEST! YOHOHO AND AWAY WE GO!
(He collapses next to Rotor)
Next day
(Tails is angry with his two partners for botching the recon mission. He is in his mobian form with his tails wrapped around their necks.)
Tails: GRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Antoine (gasping): OK! OK! WE WONT DO IT AGAIN!!!!
Next night- Rotor and Antoine step into the motel room. They are drunk again.
Both: WEEEEEEEE SHALL NOT, WE SHALL NOT GET DRUNNNNNNNNNNK!
(They both collapse onto the floor)
Next morning- Tails has his tails around his friend's necks again.
Tails: IF I WANT THIS DONE RIGHT I MIGHT AS WELL DO IT MYSELF!!!
(He lets go of Rotor and Antoine)
Rotor (gasping for air) : But...HUFF PUFF...how are you going to get in? HUFF! PUFF!
Tails (holding a fake beard): With this!
That night- Tails enters the motel room. This time he is drunk.
Tails: THERE ONCE WAS A MAN FROMMMM KNOTHOLE!
(He collapses onto the floor.)
Rotor: Hey Antoine, get the camera! It's the first time Tails has ever been drunk!
Antoine (holding a camera): And tomorrow will be his first ever hangover! His parents would be proud!
Next morning
Tails (holding his head with one hand): No more foul ups! This time, we all go in together!
That night- our heroes return to the motel. Surprisingly, there sober this time.
Tails: I don't believe it. We actually did it right!
Rotor: Now all we have to do is draw a map of the casino, make our plan to steal the cash and split!
Antoine: I'll draw zee map, you make zee coffee!
Later- Antoine's map looks like it has been drawn by a five year old.
Tails: Boy, this is gonna be a long night!
Next night- Tails and Antoine are in their mobian forms running from the casino holding big bags of money.
They jump into the back of a blue and red van. Rotor is in the driving seat.
They escape.
All three are laughing.
Rotor: I've never seen so much money in all my life!
Tails: We're all billionaires!
(They all laugh some more. Antoine sniffs a note.)
Antoine: I should have known.
Tails: Hey Ant, what's up?
Antoine: Zee moneys counterfeit.
Tails & Rotor: WWWWHHAAAAAAAAAT!?
Tails: It can't be! That casinos owned and operated by the government!
Rotor: I think your forgetting that the government here is Robotnik.
Tails: Good point.
AARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
THE WEAPONS FACTORY!!!
I WAS SUPPOSED TO ACTIVATE THE EXPLOSIVES TEN MINUTES AGO!!!
Rotor: Don't worry! We have to drive past it on the way back to Knothole!
Tails: All right hurry! I can't believe I'm late! The reason I wanted to blow up the factory ten minuets ago was because the security guards will start their shift soon! I just hope we can make it while no ones inside!
(They pass the factory. Tails is on the roof of the van. He presses a button and the factory explodes.)
Tails: Mission complete.
Next week- Sonic is back. He and Tails are surveying the damage to the factory in their human forms.
(Sonic looks like Tai from Digimon series2. But with blue hair and green eyes.)
Sonic: Well kid, you've earned my respect!
Tails: Not a bad job if I do say so myself!
Sonic: Come on; let's get something to eat!
(The two pass a graveyard. A little girl is crying. Tails walks up to her.)
Sonic: Sometimes he's too considerate for his own good.
Tails: Hey sweetie, what's wrong?
Girl: My dad...sniff...died last week.
Tails: I'm sorry you lost your father. How did he die?
Girl: He died when the Kintobor weapons factory blew up.
Tails Thoughts: Oh no! Was I too late? He couldn't have been that security guard could he?
Tails: What was his name?
Girl: Yamato Shangai.
Tails thoughts: Shangai was the name of one of those security guards! I WAS too late!
Girl: Another guard died in that explosion. My father had evacuated every one else. But he and some other guy didn't make it. Why do those Mobians keep attacking us? ...SNIFF... We don't want to hurt anyone!
(Tears swell up in Tails eyes. He walks away.)
Tails: I wish I knew.
Later- In Knothole Palace.
Sally: Well, it seems you have chosen your second in command well Sonic!
Sonic: Of course I did! He was trained by you, Bunnie, Rotor, Antoine, Dulcy, AND me!
(Tails enters)
Sally: Ah Tails! Good to see you! We've just been talking about making you second in command of the Freedom Fighters next to Sonic.
Tails: Actually your majesty, I've come to request...to be dismissed from the Freedom Fighters.
Sonic & Sally: WWWHHAAAAAAT!?
Tails: Last week, two innocent humans died because of my incompetence.
Sally: Killing over Landers is what your supposed to do! You're a Mobian! Humans are the enemy!
Tails: Humans are YOUR enemy! I don't want to be responsible for any more kids lousing their parents!
Sally: This isn't about what you want to be, it's about what you have to do for the sake of your people!
Sonic: Sal, calm down! Tails maybe you should leave. I don't want you to put yourself in danger if your hearts not in it.
Tails: Thank you Sonic. I'll never forget you. Would you say good-bye to the others for me?
Sonic: Sure.
Tails flies away from Knothole towards the mountains.
Sally: Do you think it was a good idea to let him go? He's one of our best fighters.
Sonic: I guess he just needs time to heal.
It's a terrible feeling, knowing that you've cost an innocent bystander his life.
But one day he'll be back. Stronger than ever!
The End?
