Time to start the story. Note this story takes place around the same time as BAM's Haunted Fantasies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part two. Tails was shaking while he was holding on to Sally. Sally comforterted him. Sally looked at Nicole. "Nicole any information on the current location of the E.F.F." "Searching Sally..... Two bases on record, current statis of primary base. DISTROYED. Secondary bases statis. UNKNOWN." Sally looked at Nicole. "Where is the secondary base?" "Secondary base located near the the great swamp." Sally closed Nicole. "Dulcy head west." Dulcy looked at Sally. "OK Sally, but where are we going?" "Near the great swamp." Sally said as Dulcy changed direction. Packbell can be seen siting in his control room. He is deep in thought. Over a 10 Swatbot patrols have been distroyed in the last month. The loss of the bots was no big deal since they could easly be replaced, that was not what was really buging Packbell. What was is the fact that 3 patrols were distroyed with no explation. Packbell looked over the video recordings of the patrols. The same thing came up. Electrical interference. Through the sounds of exposions could be heard. The videos were usualy too messed up be viewable. One video how ever showed a brief glimps of a gray squirrel. Packbell had an uneasy feeling about the squirrel, it was as if he had seen him before, the picture was not clear enough to make out the face through. One thought came to mind however but Packbell shoke his head. "No he's dead." A beep from his control panel. "Yes?" A robot voice can be heard. "Sir a dragon has been spoted heading west. Location over the great forest, sector 54." A smile formed over the androd's face. "Assemble a Swatbot team I'll meet them in hanger bay 9 and continue tracking." Near the great swamp there is a fox behind a pile of rocks, his is on guard duty. He appears to be very board as he leans against a stump and throws a rock into a small pile of rocks. A figure watchs him from a distance behind a big bush. 'Crackel' The fox jumps up and gets a firm grip on his laser rifle. In away the fox apears to be glad to see some action. He climbs on top of a big rock and looks around. */Nothing, maby I was just a bird.\* He relaxes a bit. A bit disapointed. 'POWWW!' The rock from under him explodes into pieces. The fox flew a very small distance and landed face first on the ground. He went to grab his rifle but it wouldn't move. Someone was standing on it. "So Marty I see you still have alot to learn. You know if I was a Swatbot you'd be history." The fox looked up to see a tall gray squirrel looking down at him. "Paul is that you?" "Well its not Packbell." MechTail said as he helped the fox to his feet. The fox smiled at MechTail. "How did you escape? I throught you where roboticized." "I was." "Hun?" The fox look surprized. "Beleave me it's a long story." MechTail said as 4 other freedom fighters walk up to see what was going on. One female freedom fighter gasped as she saw MechTail standing there. A cat walked up he had some scars on his face and body. "Well, well look who's back." He was not happy to see MechTail. MechTail turn around to greet him. "Hi Kerade." 'Smack' Kerade punched MechTail in the face. "Thats for abanding us MT!" MechTail look at Kerade and his eyes glowed. MechTail ran up and grabed Kerade by the throte and lifted him off the ground. "I DID NO SUCH THING. I WAS CAPTURED AND ROBOTICIZED. THE ONLY REASON I'M HERE NOW IS BECAUSE I GOT DE-ROBOTICIZED BY ACCDENT." MechTail let go of Kerade and turned to face the rest of the group, his eyes were still glowing. "Yes and a side effect of the that accdent is this." MechTail aimed his paw at the small pile of rocks. 'POWWW' A flash of energy impacted on the rocks. The group standed away from tall squirrel. MechTail could see that they where scared of him. "Listen I'm sorry for every thing. I was only trying to help." Kerade walked up to MechTail. "I'm sorry for punching you MT. I thought you abanded us." MechTail's eyes turing back to normal. "Its OK, because I am really going to leave you." "What?" MechTail turned away and spoke. "I'm sorry but I just can't take it anymore. Too many of my friends are either dead or roboticized. I know now that this war is no game. Some people have the stomach for it and others don't. I'm one of them." Marty walked up and put his paw on MechTail's shoulder. "It's ok Paul we understand." MechTail turned around. "I just wanted to say good bye. Also before I forget can I have my stuff before I go." A freedom fighter said "I'll get it." Kerade looked at MechTail. "Where will you go? There is no place on Mobus that is truly safe, I mean you can't just run from your problems." MechTail turn around. "There is a place. I only have to find away back, that is the problem." A girl freedom fighter walked up. "Here you go MechTail." She said as she handed him a belt and a backpack. "Thanks Grace." MechTail put the belt on. "DNA SCAN COMPLETE ACCESS GRANTED, WELLCOME BACK PAUL." Electronics on his belt blinked. "Sally I can't shake them!" Dulcy said as a beam just missed them. Sally looked down. "Dulcy you got to land." Dulcy looked worried. "There is not enough area to land, but I'll try!" Sally grabed Tails. "Tails take off and hide into the forest." Tails looked at Sally. "But what about you!" "I'll be fine I'll call Sonic! Now go!!" Tails let go of Sally and flew into the forest. Sally hanged on tight as Dulcy tryed to land. Dulcy landed but didn't stop in time. 'Wham' Into a tree. "Dulcy?" Sally said. "I'll be ok mom, I just need a nap." Dulcy said as she passed out. Sally jumped off of Dulcy. Hover units started to land and Swatbots walked out. Sally fliped open Nicole. "Nicole open a channel to Knot Hole." "Unable to open channel Sally. Signel being jammed." Packbell walked out of a red hover craft. Sally looked around as the Swatbots closed in on her location. She then reached into her back pack and pulled out a power ring. She then tossed Nicole into the forest. "NICOLE TRANSFORM!." Nicole in the air turned into a silver blob and then changed into a bob cat and landed on her feet. "Ready Sally" The bob cat said. "Nicole find help, the E.F.F. should be near by!." The bob cat ran to the bushes. Sally rased the power ring. There was a flash of energy. "Well Paul when are you planing to leave?" Marty said. "Soon as I..." "Help!" A bob cat ran up to the group. Kerade looked at the bob cat. "Whats wroung." The bob cat looked at the group. "Princess Sally requires your asistance. Swatbots are persuing her at this moment." Sally ran around trying to keep the Swatbots away from Dulcy. One of Sally's problems was she didn't have Sonic's spines so she couldn't just cut through the Swatbots, but however she could trip them. Another problem that was arising Sally was getting dizzy. Packbell watched as Sally triped up the bots. He smirked because he knew she could not keep this up forever. He yelled out. "Give it up, Princess!" Sally ran for another bot but she lost her balance and triped. Her head was pounding. The Swatbot went to grab her when suddenly, Tails grabed Sally and started flying away. 'Zap' Tails fell unconscious to the ground with Sally. Sally grabed Tails. A Swatbot stoped her and grabed her. The Swatbot held Sally with one arm and Tails with another. Packbell walked up. "That was the stun setting, this is not." Packbell aimed the phaser at Tails. 'POWWW' Sally flinched. Tails was unhurt, but Packbell was. His hand a phaser was blown to pieces. Packbell screamed. A tall gray squirrel walked up. The bots behind him where getting blasted by Kerade and the rest of the group. Packbell looked at the gray squirrel. "YOU!!!" The squirrel looked at Packbell. "YES, I'M BACK PAC-MAN." Sally looked at the gray squirrel. "MechTail." The Swatbot turned to face the squirrel. MechTail's eyes glowed as he aimed his paw at Packbell. "Let them go, Or be distroyed!" Packbell knew he was beat this time. "Swatbot let them go." The Swatbot let go of Tails and Sally. MechTail still was aiming for Packbell. Packbell spoke up. "You got what you wanted now GO!" Sally lifed up Tails. "MechTail please lets go. Tails needs help." MechTail lowered his paw. "Your lucky this time PAC-MAN." And walked behind Sally. Packbell saw his chance and grab a laser rifle off the Swatbot and set it on full power. He fired at MechTail. 'ZAPPP' It wasn't the blast that hurt MechTail, but the force of it knocked him out. Sally didn't know this. "MECHTAIL!" She yelled, just then Sonic zoomed up and grab them all. To be continued. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tada yes thank you, your too kind. Well there is more on the way. Bye. As MechTail would say. "Realty sucks!."
