"What?" Sonic looked surprized. "Thats right Sonic, I'm taking MechTail to the dance." Sally said. Sonic was not happy. "You hardly know him. Was it something I said?" Sally knew Sonic was hurt. "I'm sorry Sonic, but this doesn't mean I have dumped you. MechTail needs some chearing up, he's going through a rough time." "So?" "So I'm going with him to the dance." Sally said. "But.." Sonic was about to plead. "No buts Sonic." Sally said as she closed the door. */Why is it so hard for him to understand.\* Sonia spoted MechTail walking. "Hey MechTail." MechTail turned around. "Hi Sonia." "Davey wants to talk to you." MechTail walks into Davey's hut and see's a fox all bandaged up laying in bed. "Hey Mech." The smilling fox said. "What happend to you?" "Oh not much just a crasy hedgehog with a bad attitude." "Who?" Sonia walk in and said. "Sammi. She did this." Davey turned towards Sonia. MechTail could see the anger in her face. Davey spoke up. "Well Mech anyways I see you finely came to Knothole." "Well I didn't have much choice." The fox chuckled a bit. "I heard that you blasted Packbell's hand to bits." MechTail smiled. "Yes well he was going to blast Tails, I couldn't have that happen." "Aah but you enjoyed it didn't you." "I guess so, after all he did kill a bunch of my friends and roboticized me." Sonia walked up and sat beside Davey's bed then looked at MechTail. "I heard that you have a power ring inside you." Sonia said. "Well not just inside of me it's apart of me." MechTail told them a simple summary of what happend. Davey smiled. "Cool what can you do with it." MechTail looked around. "I need to go outside before I can show you. Watch throught the windows." There was a target area with Swatbot dummys. Bunnie was trying out some of her moves on them. "Heeeyaaa." Bunnie kicked the Swatbot's head off. MechTail walked up. "Nice move." Bunnie looked at MechTail. "Thanks surger." "Do you mind if I try." Bunnie steped aside. "He is all yours." MechTails eyes glowed as he looked at the dummy. He lifted up his paw and aimed it at the Swatbot. 'Kaboom' The bot blew apart into small pieces. Bunnie smiled. "Nice move surger." "Thanks." MechTail said and walked away, he waved at Davey as he passed his hut. In Robotropois. Foxglove is being carried by a Swatbot. She dosen't know where she is going. "Please don't roboticized me. I told you all that I know." Packbell was walking beside them. "Not to worry my dear, I have no intention of harming you at this time." "Are you going to let me go?" Packbell smiled. "Nope." Foxglove's voice cracked. "What are you going to with me?" Packbell smiled some more. They stoped at a buliding. Packbell typing in a access code and the door opened. Then they walked in. "Have you ever heard the expression, live bate works best." Foxglove was strugling. "No I don't want you to hurt MechTail." Packbell laughed evilly. "I'm not just going to hurt him. I'M GOING TO CUSH HIM!!!." Back at Knothole. MechTail was sitting alone on a log a small distance from Knot Hole, far enough so no one could see him. He pushed a button on his belt. "Computer display map!" A map appeard infront of him. "Show my current location." A red dot appeard on the map. "Now computer show any signs of temperal weak spots in the reality matrix." A wave of colours apeard over the map. There was flashing green spots on the map. "Computer what's the name of that area?" "Area named The Great Unknown." "Distance from current location?" "Aproxmently 78 Earth Kilometers." "Hmmm.... Ok now I need the location of the Demenicarl" A flashing X appeard. "Hmmm about 3 days away on foot. Computer whats the current statis of the Demenicarl?" "Establing link.... Power level 12% Other systems OK." MechTail sighed. "Not enough. I been stuck he for almost a year and I still have not found a compatable power souce. Ok computer I know I have asked you this a hundered times before, is there a power souce that is compatable near by?" "Scanning.... One souce found." MechTail's almost didn't beleave what he heard. "What where?" A fox walked up. MechTail heard a twig snap. "Computer I get back to you. Thanks." Sasha walked up to MechTail. "Hello." MechTail smiled back. "Hi there ummm oh ya Sasha." "How are you? I heard you talking to someone." MechTail thought for a second. "Yes I was just checking out the power levels on my computer." He pointed to his belt. She looked at it. "Thats a computer?" "Yes it is I just got it back a little while ago. As you see it's very portable." Sasha looked at MechTail carefully. "I was woundering about what I saw in your mind." MechTail look conserned. "Oh yes and I bet you have a hundered questions. Don't you know that reading someone's mind is a bit like reading someones diary." Sasha turned her head away. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to, I just wanted to help you." MechTail was silent for a bit then looked at Sasha. "It's OK, I understand now." Knothole 20:00. "Here try this." Rotor said as he handed a sute to MechTail. "Ahh ok this fits." "Don't forget the tie." 'Thump, thump' "It's me Sally." "Ahh just a minute." "Hey not to tight." "Sorry. Ok done." MechTail walked up to a mirror. "Ah not bad." He said as he buttoned up. "I'm not going to wate forever you guys." "Coming." Rotor open the door. "Sorry about that." Sally walked in she was dressed in a fancy outfit, it looked like something a girl would wear to the prom. MechTail swolled hard. "You look good Sally." "So do you MechTail. Now lets go the dance has already started." Sally grabed MechTail's arm and dragged him out. He stumbled along beside Sally as they walked. Sonic grumbled a bit as the two walk up. MechTail waved. Nicole was in bob cat mode and was Dancing with David (Tails Androd brother). Bunnie danced with Rotor then took turns with Antwion. Sonic danced with Sasha, then with Bunnie, then with Nicole, then with other furrys, he keeped an eye on MechTail and Sally as they danced. Sonia was in and out of the dance, see keeped disapering into Davey hut for periods of time. Sally held MechTail tight as they slow danced. MechTail's thoughts where on everything but Sally, of course he keeped track of his feet but he was thinking about that power source, and another thoughts came to mind, for some reason his mind keep thinking about the female bat, it was an uneasy feeling, something not right. Sally squized him a bit. "Hmm?" "Are you alright MechTail?" They turned. "I'm just fine, just thinking." Sally rubbed his back. "About what?" Sally snugled close, and his tempture rose, light went on in his head. */Oh my. What are you thinking body.\* His tempture leveled off. "I just thinking about my life and this world and what I should do next. I mean I like it hear but it's just not my home." Sally looked at MechTail's eyes. "I could be, if you just give it time." MechTail stop dancing and let go of Sally. "I'm sorry... I need to rest." "Sure." Sally said softly. MechTail walked away sat in the dark alone by him self. He looked at the starts and sighed. A voice in his head spoke. */Paul I'm scared....\* "Foxglove?" There was nothing more. Nicole was sitting beside her self when her eye's blinked red, a small dish popped out of her head and aimed out into the forest, it stayed there for a minute then popped back. She turned and walked towards MechTail. "Hello MechTail." "Yes." "I have a message for you from Robotopolis." MechTail looked puzzled. "What. From who?" "Packbell." MechTail looked more puzzled but a bit of anger sweped accross his face. "Lets walk aways." MechTail grabed Nicole and walked behind a hut. "Ok tell me." "I'll display it for you." Nicole faced the wall and a Hologram appeard. A picture of Packbell standing with a female bat straped into a chair. "Hello MechTail guess who. It's me. I suppose you are wondering what this message is all about. Or you already know why." The camera zoomed on the bat. "As you see I have found one of your friends, or is it more? She has told me so much about you. Did you know that she cares for you? Aaaa aint that sweet she crying. I get right to the point! Meet me here in building C64 alone! You have about 12 hours. And one more thing if you don't show up, I can a sure you, her death will be a slow one." MechTail's eyes glowed with rage as he punched a hole through the wall behind Packbell's face.
