Time to start the story. Note this story takes place around the same time as BAM's Haunted Fantasies. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 5. MechTail ran towards Rotor's hut and striped the suit off. He then slip on his belt, jacket and ran out of the hut. He stayed out of sight as he looked around for some transportion. MechTail came accross Davey's hover bike. He jump on it, and a alarm went off. The freedom fights stoped dancing. Sonic ran towards the noise. MechTail found the alarm and zapped it. He switched the controls to manual and pushed the throte to full. Sonic arived in time to see the bike zip away. Sally ran up to Sonic. Sonic turned around. "Davey's bike has been hijacked." "Who would do such a thing." "Guess." "You don't mean MechTail." "Who else." "I'm going after him." Nicole ran up to Sally. "Sally I have some information which might explain what just happend." MechTail zoomed through the forest at full speed the tress zipped by almost too close to the bike. MechTails eyes glowed. Images went throught his mind, his family, his friends, Todd and Alice. Then the E.F.F., Packbell grinning, Foxglove crying. *\I have been here on this world for almost a year now. In that time I have been stranded and alone. I spent a months looking for away back, I was about to give up hope when I came across a group called the E.F.F. they offered me a place to stay, thinking I was a victium of Robotnik. It was like a family to me. I help them like they helped me, by becoming a part of the team, to fight for freedom. I and Alice where becoming close friends. One day I planed to tell her every thing about me and my past. That day never came because she got killed by Packbell. Since I was such a close friend of Alice the group asked me to become there leader. I thought it was the lest I could do for them. Time went by. Then on a mission one day we where ambushed. Some where killed others Roboticized. I was Roboticized by Packbell personaly and not only that, to add to my grief he made me Roboticized my friends. I lived as a Worker Bot for a whole month. Then one day I found a squirrel name Sally. The power ring she had gave me my will back. I saved her from being roboticized. The roboticized exploded and I awoke flesh and blood again, but changed. The power ring I was carring in my back while I was a Worker Bot had become a part of me. I could distroy bot's at my finger tips. But even with this new power, I wanted to leave this world of pain a suffering, even if it ment taking on the whole world it self, I would find away. I stumbled across a cave to stay the night and meet a female bat. She treated me like I was her best friend even through we just meet. She told me about her self, she too was a victium of this world. I cared for her more then I thought, but I left her because I wanted to go home. But now I relize what I was running from, I was running away from my self. I have become I part of this world and I can't turn my back on it anymore!!!!/* MechTail zipped up to a closed gate and stoped the bike. MechTail blasted it open, hoped off the bike and ran into the city. "Hmm, Static, he's here." Packbell smiling as he looked at the monitors. He walked up to Foxglove. "I have good NEWS for you. Your boyfriend is coming." Foxglove looked at Packbell with sad eyes. "Is that all you feel hatered, and revenge? There's more to life then that." Packbell laughed evilly. "I am an andord, I don't feel much of anything." Foxglove turned away. Packbell snorted as he walked up to the controls. "I's show time." MechTail walked through the aliey ways trying to stay out of sight. A Swatbot spoted him. "Halt Fre..." The bot exploded. MechTail walked through the debre. Hover Bot's spoted him and flew down to blast him. They only got a couple of shots off before getting blasted to pieces. MechTail ran into another aliey way, it was a dead end. Swatbot's where blocking his way out. A voice spoke from a loud speaker. "Welcome back MechTail or should I say Worker Bot." MechTail yelled back. "I'M NO WORKER BOT PAC-MAN. I CAME HERE FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO SAVE MY FRIEND!" A laugh came over the speakers. "You first have to get here, if you want to save her. Swatbots distroy him!" The bot's walked forward. MechTail blasted them 2, 3 at a time, but they keeped coming. MechTail was starting to feel drained, he needed energy if he wanted to keep blasting them. The bot's where advancing. Then all of a sudden Sonic zipped up in front of him. "Need help?" MechTail smiled. "What ever gave you that idea?" Sonic smiled and turned to face the Swatbots. "Hey Swat heads guess who?" The Swatbots started chanting. "Priority one hedgehog!." Sonic had a smirk as he did a supper spin and knocked the Swatbots down like bowling pins. "Strike!" Sonic yelled. Just then Sally zipped up to MechTail. "Did you really think we would let you take on Robotroplois by your self." MechTail looked sorry. "I'm sorry I should have told you. But I didn't know what else to do." Sally placed her paw on MechTail's shoulder. "It'll be OK. Nicole told me why." MechTail sighed. "I glad you came. I have to get to building C64." Sally reached into her back pack and pulled out a power ring. "Here you'll need this." MechTail grabed the power ring. It glowed as he held it. MechTails eyes started glowing also. Energy from the power ring flowed into his body. The ring after a short time disapeared. MechTails eyes are still glowing as he turned around and aimed his paws at the wall. 'Kablam' Where there once was a wall is now a big hole. MechTail turned back. "Hey Sonic I need a lift!." Sonic zipped up. "All aboard the Sonic express." MechTail grabed onto Sonic back and they both zipped away throught the hole in the wall. Packbell is cursing and pounding on the control panel. "WHERE IS HE?" A robot voice replied. "Unknown." "Aahhh." Packbell paced angerly around the room. He looked at Foxglove. "If you weren't so important to my plan I would kill you right now." Sonic dropped off MechTail near the outside of the building. "I have a plan Sonic. All we need now is a Swatbot." Sonic smiled. "Coming right up." He zipped away. Shortly after Sonic is running back with a Swatbot chasing right after him. MechTail steped out of the way. The Swatbot ignored him and continued to chase Sonic. MechTail then ran up behind the Swatbot, his eyes are glowing and grabed the bots leg. "Tag your it." The bot shorted out and feel down. A short time later there is a beep at the door. Packbell answers it. "Yes?" A robot voice is heard. "Sir we have captured MechTail." Packbell yells. "YES!!! Bring him in." The door open's and a Swatbot carering MechTail by the arms walks in. "Welcome back MechTail, we missed your good work with the roboticizer." MechTail looked up at Packbell. "So you finely got what you wanted. Can I have what I wanted." Packbell smiled evilly. "Not quite. But I well let you say good bye to your girl friend." A chair turns around. Foxglove is strapped in it. A glass tube slids down. "Go on say good bye. This is your last chance." Packbell waves the Swatbot to let go. MechTail runs up to the glass tube. Foxglove looks up and smiles, through her eyes are filled with tears. A voice in MechTails mind speaks. */I'm sorry Paul. I didn't mean it to end this way. I...I love you.\* MechTail turned around. "Don't hurt her you got what you wanted." Packbell smiled as he walked up to the control. "What I want, is to see you suffer a slowly. Starting with your girl friend." Packbell reached for the button, when a laser rifle hit him in his shoulder blasting his arm off. Packbell screamed and twitched as he feel to the floor, spark from his missing arm can be seen. The Swatbot walk up to the control panel and pushed the release button. The glass tube slid up. MechTail unstraped Foxglove and carried her. He walked up to the Swatbot. "Nice shot Sonic." The Swatbot removed his head. Sonic looked at MechTail. "Thanks. Now if you don't mind. Help me out of rust bucket." Sally zipped into the buliding. "Is every one all right. I heard a blast." "Just fine Sally but I can't say the same for PAC-MAN....hey where is he?" Packbell sliped out the door and ran, leaving his arm behind. Sonic looked at the door. "He's getting away!." MechTail just smiled. "Let him go. They will be a next time." Foxglove looked up at MechTail. "Hi big boy miss me?" MechTail looked at the smiling bat. "Does this answer your question." MechTail kissed the Foxglove on her lips and held her close. Sally sighed silently. Back at Knothole the group returns. MechTail parked the hover bike where he found it. Foxglove was right beside him. Sonic and Sally zipped up to him. "So MechTail, have you desided yet?" Sally said. MechTail looked around then looked at the sky. He then looked at Foxglove and held her. "I have desided to stay and fight!" Sonic walked. "All right!" Every one there cheered. MechTail then spoke up. "My name is Paul Demers! But you can call me MechTail!" Davey was watching out of the window, Sasha and Sonia where there with him. Sasha spoke up. "I understand now! He's was once a human like Davey." Davey spoke up. "Yes, but I think he doesn't want anyone else to know." He layed down and looked at Sona and Sasha. "Lets keep this secret to our self's." A short time later MechTail walked in. "Hi Davey sorry about the bike, I'll help fix it tomorrow." Davey looked up smiling. "That's OK you had a good excuse." MechTail opened his back pack and pulled out an arm. "What's this?" Davey said. "It's Packbell's arm." Davey laughed out real loud and coughed a bit. MechTail smiled. "An arm for an arm. I figured it would make you feel better." He said as he handed the arm to Davey. "I have got to find a nice place to hang this." Davey said. MechTail walked out of the hut and Foxglove joined him. "Was he mad at you?" "Nope." MechTail smiled as he looked at Foxglove. They walked for a little while. MechTail stoped. "So what next. Are you going home?" Foxglove smiled as she looked at MechTail and grabed his arm. "My home was distroyed when the Swatbots found me." MechTail hugged Foxglove. "I'm sorry. If it wasn't for me. You would still have a home." She kissed him. "If it wasn't for you, I would still be alone." MechTail sighed. "So the where are you going to spend the night." Foxglove looked at him. "How about your place." MechTail swolled hard then smiled. "Sorry no can do, I don't have a hut yet." Foxglove started teasing him. "Or your just saying that, because you don't trust me." MechTail smiled. "No really, I don't." Foxglove turned around. MechTail spoke up. "I heard that." Foxglove looked confused. "I didn't say anything." MechTail looked at Foxglove. "I think understand now. You are telepathic aren't you?" Foxglove smiled and turned around. "You really think so. My parents always said I was a special girl." MechTail put his arms around her wast. "You never know. Lets watch the sun rise." Foxglove smiled. "OK." They walked up to the pond. MechTail had his arm around the sleepy bat and saw a power ring appear. "So that's the power source." MechTail said. "What was that Paul?" "Nothing." She snugled close as the sun rose.
