Trixie’s Thirteenth Story
Blake's Takeover

Chapter One “Stuck in a Hard Place”

“Sonic!!!!! Where are you?! Can you hear me?!” shouted Tails.

Tails was in some place he didn’t recognize if Trixie were there with him she could have told him it was the place she had appeared in the future in, but somehow different like it wasn’t the same time or it wasn’t even the same planet but somehow the same, it was hard to explain but Tails could figure out it was a base.

“What am I doing here…? I remember seeing Sonic and…oh now I remember Anna grabbed Me.” thought Tails.

Tails passed by a little he was not sure witch way he should go, until he heard some shouting.
He ran following the sound as it got closer and closer at last he got there but backed up not wanting to be seen until he figured things out.
He overheard two people talking.

“General Sir I fear these fighters are becoming more and more of a threat if the people see them it could tear the fabric of this Empire apart, we were able to ensure that they think the supersonic hedgehog is non existent but every time he makes a move it’s harder to cover it up.” said the first person.
“There’re talking about Sonic.” thought Tails.
“Yes I realize that, Sonic the hedgehog is becoming a problem.” said the second voice but it was deeper then the first person’s.

Tails was in a hallway outside a doorway hiding behind some boxes trying to listen in to these mysterious people’s conversation.
He recognized the second voice but he couldn’t finger it because they were speaking quietly as if they knew there could be people around.
But he couldn’t see the people talking they were out of the light.

“The troops aren’t able to track him down he doesn’t show up on any radar screen anywhere we’ve been searching and combing the area but he just seems to be absent except when he attacks.” said the first voice. “Maybe we should use the robots the Doctor gave us before he switched sides.”
“Why are your troops so unprepared? He attacked this base TODAY and they couldn’t even stop him I would think you could at least get one simple job done.” said the General.
“But General sir he’s impossible to track down.” argued the first voice.
“Spike didn’t have any trouble with that, and he’s a solo worker without equipment.” said the General.

Tails was now very curious, his fox ears moved up.

“I think we both can agree Spike the hedgehog has lost it sir, I mean his father’s the Supreme Leader himself.” said the first voice. “And besides he has no life anymore he probably spent his whole life tracking him down all he does after he gave up trying to take the globe is challenge people to prove himself, and if he loses he marks them to regain honor that dose not even make sense.”
“I know that, he marked me as well.” said the General removing his glove showing the scar across his hand then putting his glove back on. “My whole point is that if he could do it then it should be easy for you yet you’ve failed a thousand times.”

The General slammed against the table he was sitting at.

“Can’t you do anything right? And no we won’t use the robots the robots are for protecting the base those soldiers are supposed to do their jobs, besides I still am not completely curtain we should be using the Doctor’s robots anyway he may have turned but I respect him we should not be so quick to mark him as an enemy he helped me get a large part of my memory back, and I feel using his inventions is stupid when we have trained men for that.” said the General.

Tails scooted closer but in doing so knocked over a box full of metal alerting the two talking.

“What was that?” said the general getting off his chair.

Tails held his breath trying to avoid making any more noise, he quietly scooted to the other side of the boxes hoping they wouldn’t look on the left side, the doorway was to his right and he figured they’d look behind.
Lucky for Tails the general looked behind but he was about to look on the other side, Tails knew he shouldn’t get caught or who knows what could happen, he tried opening the box next to him that was laid down on it’s side, it was empty and the boxes were large so he could fit inside.
He had to breathe but he waited until the General was done looking.

“I guess it must have been the wind, why are there boxes out in this hallway anyway are your delivery trucks not working?” said the General as he walked back though the doorway shutting the door, Tails was able to catch what they looked like as they went inside he covered his hands to his mouth trying not to screech with surprise.

“I need to get out of here.” thought Tails.
End chapter

Chapter Two “The Pocket Watch”

The floor was cold and he couldn’t see very well because the lights above were always flickering and he felt more nervous after the shouting had stopped dead silent.
He was already out of the box but it seemed to him there wasn’t much of a difference it was still freaky waiting out there so he tried walking along the large metal hall.

“What is this machinery? I’ve never seen it before but it looks somehow familiar.” said Tails admiring the machine exterior of one of the automatic doorway doors.

There was a faint sound of somebody that about made Tails jump, he quietly walked down the hall looking in each door he came across, but all of the rooms looked the same, a table with two chairs in the center with a swinging light above, the walls were metal like the hallway. The next room looked the same but passed it there was no more doors, he decided to explore inside the room.

“This place sure looks lonely.” thought Tails.

Something sparked his interest, he thought he saw something underneath the table, it looked like a pocket watch only made of pure metal and the hands didn’t work.
As he felt around trying to figure out what it was he suddenly heard a scream and shout again, but he didn’t know where it was coming from he looked around in all the rooms already.
It was out of pure luck Tails found this pocket watch he was very familiar with machinery and when he looked down at the logo on the side a compartment opened up.

“Streak?” said Tails reading the logo.

Inside the pocket watch was a small machine that probably would not have been found if Tails weren’t so handy with fixing things, it was a square cube smaller then his thumb, he tried picking it up but it knocked itself over, and a hologram appeared.

“I am glad you have received this message for once, is your screen working yet?” said the message.

On it appeared in the hologram was somebody very unexpected it was Tai.

“I thought he was on our side?” thought Tails.
“What are you doing? Is your other end broken again? How annoying, General turn on your text messenger on the watch we’re behind schedule already.” said Tai.

Tails grabbed the watch panicked for not having it on already, it nearly slipped out of his hand but he pulled the minute hand forward and out popped a mini keyboard he didn’t know what to do but he was lucky that Tai thought he was somebody else.

“Yes I am here.” Tails typed.

It appeared next to the message in hologram form like Tai who was appearing himself not in text.

“Good, I hate when your screen gets broken remind me to do something about that later, anyway I am outraged with the resent death of my former commander, I want to know if you have gotten news of who caused it? I realize he was on the other side but when I pledged a second time my honor forced my respect for him, and well…I didn’t what THAT to happen to him even if he was on the other side...” said Tai.

Tails gasped.

“I didn’t know that had happened.” Tails typed in a reply.
“What are you talking about? I thought your people were there.” said Tai confused about the reply.

Tails typed quickly.

“Sorry uhhh a moron was playing with my watch.” Tails typed after remembering how the General talked.
“Well then have him fired, anyway do you or do you not know what happened?” said Tai.
“I don’t have any details.” Tails typed in very cleverly that way he would not have to explain something he wasn’t present for.
“Well have your people call my people I don’t have time to be clueless.” said Tai. “What about the fox Trixie? I heard of her appearing again from one of our spies I had thought she was dead, also have you captured the blue hedgehog?” said Tai.

Tails had to think on his reply this time, but he was relieved hearing Trixie was safe.
End chapter

Chapter Three “Text Messaging”

“Alright I don’t have any news on Sonic my people have not found him yet as for the fox why should she matter?” said Tails still sounding like the General with his typing.
“Well don’t fail the Supreme Commander he is very irritated in this and he was so furious he demoted me! I want that hedgehog found; as for the fox what are you talking about? The pink fox was one of the large problems for us then she disappeared and now she comes back? Doesn’t that sound fishy to you? Anyway I’m going on with my business remember the Supreme Commander wants him found make sure to do so, I suppose I should now address you as Sir but I will let you know I am not happy being blamed for your people’s mistakes, Caption Tai signing out.” said Tai as his hologram turned off.

Tails panted he needed to get those replies in fast but he came out with a lot of information.
He now knew Blake was in charge and he had gotten Tai on his side again also it seemed Flame was gone…and that Sonic and Trixie were being hunted for.

“There is no possible way this is the future, Marty told me that there were a lot of possible futures because of the rifts in time, meaning I’m in one of them, wonderful just wonderful this is the kind of stuff I get messed up in alright.” said Tails.

But his hopes were up after he figured out something from the watch.

“This is the type of machinery I make!” said Tails.

Tails rubbed off the old logo finding two tails on the back witch excited him.

“I turned out to be a good inventor and mechanic after all.” said Tails happily. “I need to find out where that shouting is coming from.”

Tails found a trapdoor activated when he sat down on one of the chairs, the door opened and he saw a few people who looked alarmed after seeing him.

“No it’s ok I don’t want to hurt anyone.” said Tails trying to calm them down. “Why were you shouting? What are you doing down here? And why were you scared of me? I wouldn’t hurt anyone I’m a good Guy.” said Tails calmly.
“We were shouting because we were being questioned we are some of the freedom fighters that did not make it back, they tell everybody we’re dead so they don’t look for us.” said one of them.
“If you were being questioned then where is the person who was questioning you?” said Tails.
“We get asked questions by the soldiers unless we don’t talk, there are more of us here this is a secret containment area.” said one of them. “Can you help us break them out?”
“I’m not much for break-ins but I’ll do what I can.” said Tails glad he didn’t find enemies this time.

There were a large group there all of them were alarmed but now more easy after seeing Tails open the door they couldn’t get through.
Tails rushed out the door the people were following closely behind him.

“Man I wish Sonic was here to see this.” said Tails laughing a little while he helped them outside.

In the hallway there wasn’t anybody going down the hall however they got this strange feeling.

“That’s the room we saw them taken, they’re over that way.” said the freedom fighter who was helping him.

Tails saw a hidden door again but this time there was a pad for coding.

“Wow we’re lucky this time, I think I can figure out the code to this.” said Tails typing in things, sadly things weren’t working he needed a password he was almost out of things to enter in the keypad, until he remembered what he read off that fake pocket watch. “S T R E A K.” Tails said aloud as he entered the correct password.

The metal doors opened and he saw a few familiar faces.
End chapter

Chapter Four “Familiar Faces”

Older versions of Flame and Mint were standing there in front and they about fell backwards.

“TAILS?! But you disappeared ages ago!” said Mint.

Mint looked very much the same but she wall taller and she sounded much more like a teenager but her memory didn’t fail her, she was wearing a tied blue bandana over her ear and one on her wrist and one on her foot over her white sock.
Flame on the other hand looked very warrior-like even in the way he was standing, he sounded older and had a bandana over his arm and he was wearing wraps and a few of them were red in various spots, the wraps were worn as a belt and a few were around his tail and on his ear and wrists and around his ankle.
Tails wasn’t as surprised he thought that Mint would be ok but he was happy to see Flame safe on the other hand seeing them completely different was strange for him.

“I’m glad you guys are alive.” said Tails.
“We should be saying that about you.” said Mint.
“I’d love to spend time chatting but those security cameras are offal fixed on us!” said the freedom fighter.

He was right the alarms went off quickly.

“No worries I can turn up the heat now that I’m free of that metal with no heat limit.” said Flame who simply pointed at the camera.

It blew up after he shot at it with his fiery power and the alarms couldn’t lead the soldiers that might come.
Suddenly they found traps waiting for them like an alarm-system’s way of ensuring no escape, spikes opened up from under them and they were running out of places to stand.

“This is an easy fix, everyone hold on to me!” said Tails.

They all grabbed on and Tails was up and flying carrying all the freedom fighters with him.

The General who was talking now witnessed them all escaping at the last minute through the open doors witch Flame aimed at in the air making them so.
They were outside and rushed out as fast as they could nobody was falling behind but there were people hot on their trail.
Their pace quickened and they were out of sight now.

“Mint open the trap door!” said Flame.

Mint whistled and a tree opened up like a slide, Tails was having trouble since he didn’t expect to fall through a tree stump but when he got inside he was relieved and everything seemed to slow down.

“Am I lucky you can fly.” said the freedom fighter.

Mint wasted no time and got straight up to the point.

“Tails how did you get here?” said Mint.
“I got here by that girl fox Anna.” said Tails.
“Well now we finally understand what her first mission was.” said Mint.
“You guys look different.” said Tails.
“You don’t look like you aged a day since we last saw you Tails.” said Flame.
“Well you look like you’re twenty-five.” said Tails. “And you look like a teenager.”
“We are silly.” said Mint.
“You mean it’s been that long? Wow I sure am in trouble now.” said Tails.
“Oh no we forgot Amy! Sonic will be annoyed.” said Mint not really paying attention.

Tails’s ears perked up.

“You mean Sonic’s here?” said Tails overjoyed.
“Course the blue dude’s the man in charge, literately.” said Flame enjoying his joke.
“Well when can I see him?” said Tails.
“Well the base he’s in charge of is all the way in sector V of our bases so it’s a while away.” said Flame.
“But I can take you there.” said Mint still very happy to see Tails. “Follow me alright Tails? You can see Sonic and in the meantime I’ll give him the updates.” said Mint.

Tails was pleased but very curious.

“This is all really new isn’t it, is Flame coming with us?” said Tails.
“Oh Flame’s got a big long list of things to do he’s in charge of this sector, you see there are sectors all along in the trees but the enemy didn’t think of looking underground and we stay invisible because we have somebody who can work on jamming system screens so this place is off radar, but anyway lets get going.” said Mint grabbing a hold of Tails and rushing off.

Mint was very different but had the same cheerful personality; Flame seemed more distant like the past eleven years really affected him.

“Well at least I get to see Sonic.” thought Tails in high spirits.

Chapter Five “things to be considered”

Trixie was talking with a few people, she found this possible future interesting even though she knew it would be stopped and end up differently.

“We need to figure out what it was that got this future started, what was the reason Blake got his power?” said Trixie.

Cream answered her.

“When he got rid of Spike’s team, Spike thinks Rex is gone and the others actually are and for that reason Spike gave it up and Blake was able to get his thrown back.” said Cream.
“You mean for the future to survive we have to HELP Spike?!” said Trixie.
“Yeah I guess or at least enough to be sure that Blake doesn’t receive those opportunities, for things to go well those five have to be together.” said Cream.
“Five?” said Trixie.
“Oh Blue’s a lucky one he doesn’t really care about him he always thought he was somewhat annoying.’ said Cream. “But he’s on a mission for us right now he has been for a long time now, actually I think he failed it cause otherwise the mission would be completed by now but we haven’t heard of him for a while.”
“Well I guess that’s not good news, well I am at least glad to see you and Sonic again but…where’s Cheese?” said Trixie.

Cream bit her lip sadly.

“Listen Trixie all I can say is I desperately hope you can change my life because none of us want this life, we want to go back eleven years, because there are a lot of lost friends we want to see again.” said Cream.
“Cheese is lost in this future too…Tails Ken Dip Mint Flame Vicky and Angie…and I’m stuck in it without them…I need to stop all this from happening.” thought Trixie.

Something inside snapped her out of it she shook off all her grief once again, she did that from time and time again she was always in a mess and having a problem getting out of it but she actually thought it was a little easier now that she found Sonic and Cream, and she was even half way excited to see Rex who wasn’t always as rough around the edges as she saw him.

“Hey I remember you more, you’re the one who nearly drove me into the ground.” said Rex in his high-pitched New-Yorker sounding voice. (Although it was deeper now that eleven years had passed.)
“I didn’t mean to get angry at you.” said Trixie who was now nervously rubbing the back of her neck feeling bad for that part of her past she could have avoided.

To her surprise Rex laughed about it.

“You were the second craziest girl to go medieval on me.” said Rex still laughing.

This made Trixie feel less uneasy she apologized now that she was feeling more that he was on her side, if it were Spike it would have taken a longer time to forgive but Rex had about only knocked her over the head a few times and assisted Power when she was around normally he did not confront her, and now he was a freedom fighter who had long since gotten over it.
In this future that is, he probably would be WAY different if it were the correct future but in the meantime it made things easier on Trixie.

“Anyway Trixie if it’s a fight you want you may not get it, now it’s hard to just figure out where these guys are.” said Sonic sounding confident and expecting her to go say the opposite.

Witch she did not disappoint she was very ready to get even with Blake he about messed her emotions to the breaking point she probably would have been a useless pink fox stuck in grief if Blake had anything to do about it.
But now her spirits were high and she was even more determined to change things so she could get her friends back and go back to being one of the older ones instead of eleven years behind.

“We can take care of that, if there’s somebody here that can block signals then there should be a huge advantage over their technology based fortresses if I know Blake.” said Trixie.
“It isn’t that easy moron of an animal, I am the one who blocks signals and if you think I’m running around installing signal blockers you have got another thing coming.” said Eggman then going on and on until Sonic got annoyed and interrupted his rambling.
“Well Egghead maybe she’s got a point, you can’t take a planet living in a hole in the ground.” said Sonic almost mockingly.
“Fine, but how would I get the equipment? All my precious ideas were stolen from those miserable hedgehogs along with all my tools, I have a few robots but it would be hard to get them to fetch them for me they’re slower motels the ones they DIDN’T take.” said Eggman.
“Jewels had tools, if Rex is here then maybe-” started Trixie but was shushed.

Trixie was unaware of what happened with Jewels that nobody seemed to want to talk about, nobody really even knew any details except for Rex who was not very talkative concerning that matter.

“No Jewels can’t help us…” said Rex not feeling very peppy all of a sudden.

Trixie just turned her head not really catching the hint.
End chapter

Chapter Six “Freedom Fighter’s New Plan”

“Well Marty could have built some tools but he’s still on the mission.” said Rex.
“Marty? Is he the pink hedgehog Tai spoke of?” said Trixie thinking out loud.

Rex pepped up and stood off the chair he was standing on excited as ever almost making the color leave from his face.

“My Kid’s ok?!” said Rex.
“That’s what Tai said where I was before I got here.” said Trixie.
“Oh forget it then.” said Rex. “As long as he’s not failed the mission maybe that’s how you got sent here foxy, my Kid must be on a roll!” said Rex laughing in a freedom fighter’s face with an “I told ya!” expression.
“if you’re planning on breaking the base it’s not easy, all the sectors have tried even teaming up it’s not easy we’ve never been able to penetrate the inside, the entire inside is an accident waiting to happen.” said Sonic.
“but you’re the world’s fastest hedgehog! You must count for something.” said Trixie cheerfully.
“you don’t know do you? the entire base is imposable, Blake just sits inside sending text messages he doesn’t even leave it because he knows it’s impossible to get inside, every floor is a tunnel of traps and traps each more dangerous as you go on, also every sector we’ve sent in never makes it out sector F was already gone and that was our second best sector, the only reason Sonic and us made it out was BECAUSE of his speed and because of my strength and Eggman’s brains.” said Rex.
“Sounds like a different team Sonic, I wonder why it’s not worked before when they’re so unstoppable these guys are always winning what’s so different this time?” wondered Trixie.

Trixie stroked her chin in thought.

“why not use Eggman’s machines for breaking the system? what makes you guys think it won’t work?” said Trixie.
“Because it’s not powered by machine the inside is a huge maze a huge unbreakable wall and a mind game at the end, when you get passed all the walls the last trap is your worst nightmare.” said Rex.
“it can’t be that bad.” protested Trixie.
“you’re kidding right? This base was built for the pure purpose of keeping people out he knows the way through them if he needs it but it is literately your worst nightmare, you see an agent named Anna she was Angie’s daughter, you may know her.” said Rex. “she had this power to show people things that might not have happened, she tricked me a long time ago to make me think Jewels hated me and she tricked many before, she helped design the base before she was on the mission and she used her ability to create the maze and the mind game at the end.”
“what’s the mind game? I’m sure you guys are smart enough to handle It.” said Trixie.
“no it’s not smarts that keep you through it, it’s how well you can handle your emotions.” said Rex in a way that confused Trixie, she did not understand what her friends were talking about and just figuring it out was hard.  “your worst fears are shown to you and no matter what NONE of us can tell when it’s an allusion or not, but your worst fear is the one thing that keeps you from it then you have to deprogram a computer but nobody’s made it that far.”
“you’re saying that when you get passed all the traps you have to get past your worst fears?” said Trixie.
“yes and even if you are brave or try to ignore it you will not know where to go from there, I’ve seen Jewels collapse one too many times and I just don’t think I could make it through again.” said Rex.

Trixie pointed to Sonic.

“you can do it, you’ve not been afraid of anything in your life there’s nothing you can’t handle.” said Trixie brilliantly and full of faith for her blue friend.
“No I can’t…there’s water everywhere…I can’t swim.” said Sonic for the first time in front of Trixie, Shaking.
“this is not the Sonic I know…” thought Trixie. “I have got to help them…”

Trixie now determined as ever stood up front.

“I will try as hard as I can to make it through the last door and get passed the last trap.” said Trixie still with hope witch made all the freedom fighters fix their eyes on her.
“Trixie you’re biting off more then you can chew.” said Rex.
“I’m with you anyway.” said Cream. “and if you get Blake to find a way back in time, make sure you tell Cheese in my past to be careful ok?”

with that most all of the freedom fighters were behind her assuring her they would fight alongside everyone, although a few were too focused on facts and not bothering to try and loose again.

“Alright then Trix I’ll help you, Cream get all your sectors together, we’re going to fix Blake once and for all.” said Sonic happily.

Eggman was annoyed but already got a few of his older working robots to help gather metal for his machine blockers.
They all were getting ready for battle.

“I still think it’s a mistake…I will help you break through the door but I am not going in that last room again.” said Rex.
End chapter

Chapter Seven “Fireworks and Supplies”

Sector F as Flame’s sector was called was not doing much but patrol the area looking for survivors, but Mint and Tails were getting closer in the inside tunnel, it was dark and leaky from the rain and even now that the sun was out it was damp and mostly there, the tunnel was dug out very well and Tails was surprised at the workmanship considering the time they must have lost with the rulers constantly looking for them, also it seemed it was dug out by a professional.

“Who did all this Mint?” said Tails.
“Knuckles did, he went board out of his mind when the master emerald blew so he created these tunnels with his shovel-claw thing.” said Mint.
“Where is Knuckles?” said Tails happy to hear of another one of his friends being mentioned.
“Uhh he’s been captured for a while, we’ve tried breaking him out but it’s not easy finding their locations when we’re trying to stay under the radar, we think he may have gotten out but it’s hard to tell with Knuckles.” said Mint cheerfully. “First we’re trying to break Amy out man we’ve tried a thousand times but there’s just no getting into that mental institution.”
“You mean everyone there is nuts? The soldiers?” questioned Tails.
“Not I mean literately.” said Mint.
“Well…that’s an eye opener.” said Tails.
“No kidding.” said Mint laughing. “She’s not really crazy that’s what’s funny poor Amy.”
“I knew Amy was pretty strong and a little Sonic-crazy but I don’t think seriously.” said Tails shocked.
“Tails is it strange to see us? heh I guess I’m older now huh?” said Mint.
“Yeah you are right is pretty wired, I wish I could know what’s going on or how to prevent things from going on.” said Tails.

Before Mint could reply there was a hedgehog running for them in the direction in front of them in the tunnel, when he got closer Tails recognized him.

“Hey urgent message from Sonic!” said Rex.

Tails looked surprised to see Rex, and Rex was just as surprised to see the both of them.

“Wow how did your sector survive?! And how on earth did he get here?!” said Rex in surprise but it looked like it was a good thing.
“Don’t come any closer!” said Tails being defensive standing in front of Mint.
“Well here’s a shocker, Tails the fox nice to see you again.” said Rex griddling his teeth annoyed at his return.
“Tails he’s on our side no worries he sometimes brings messages to our sector.” said Mint.
“Well even so I don’t trust him.” mumbled Tails.
“Sonic’s going to take Blake on in the base the main base, you need to spread the word to all the sectors to get here immediately, we’re all attacking at once and that pink fox is gonna try to pass the last trap.” said Rex with an urgent sound to his voice. “Also make sure ‘sector I’ stays behind they will need somebody to fight for freedom incase this turns out a suicide mission.”
“DID YOU SAY PINK FOX?!” said Tails with the cutest expression on his face as he alarmed the other two in the room.
“Gosh do you want them knowing we’re underground fox moron.” said Rex.
“Does that mean Trixie’s here?” said Tails.
“Yes blah blah blah she’s fine, man you hurt my ears big time.” said Rex rubbing his ears with his hands, till he finally noticed Mint’s impatient expression.
“Anyway if you guys are alive your sector can help so make sure you spread the news to everyone, I’ll take the two tailed impatient fox since I guess he wants to meet up with Sonic.” said Rex.
“Gee thanks.” said Tails sarcastically rejecting his comment.

Mint nodded in agreement as she rushed backwards in the tunnel.

“How’d you know I wanted to see Sonic?” said Tails suspiciously.
“Seems like everyone does these days kid, huh you’re not a day older then last I saw you, man things were easy before time travel was invented.” said Rex. “Course that was your fault before Sonic thought he lost you the second time, you made it back the first time but I guess you kinda ruined the guy’s life.”
“What is he talking about? Oh well I don’t care to know of my future anyway I’m sick of this junk I hope I can get back so I can see the Sonic I know.” thought Tails.

Rex and Tails walked down the underground hallway quietly as if there were something dangerous about talking loudly witch there probably was.

“Well kid is there any more who came here?” said Rex curiously.
“No and if there was I wouldn’t tell you.” said Tails in distrust.
“HA! You’re defiantly the real Tails to me anyway, I respect that, but Tails there are a lot of things you’re going to have to live with weather you want to or not, until you change the past witch I find won’t happen if anyone will my son will in my opinion we don’t need your help.” said Rex while walking.

Suddenly there was shouting as if they were under attack the notice got closer as they went down the tunnel.
Tails was running as fast as he could even using his Tails figuring Trixie and Sonic were in trouble.

“Hey wait up! I’m a fighter not a runner!” said Rex as Tails was getting more and more hard to follow.

When Tails got there it was just an empty room, there was nobody there but tipped over and broken chairs and the table’s papers were taken by something or someone.
The clearing in the ground itself was damaged with scratches and bullet holes; Tails didn’t know what on earth happened.
Rex came over he was panting exhausted by all that running but he quickly knew what had happened.

“Tails they have been captured or worse!” said Rex.
“What? No they can’t capture Sonic.” said Tails not believing him.
“Sonic’s not here Tails! He went through the other entrance to give the other sectors the message that we were attacking since he’s faster, your sector was closer so they sent me, sector V has been wiped clean.” said Rex.
“Do we know by who?” said Tails.
“I don’t know either my old Boss still angry with Sonic or Blake who’s been looking for us, but judging by the bullet holes it was probably Blake’s Soldiers.” said Rex while going in a closet and picking up a few things, he handed Tails something he was alarmed in getting.
“IS THIS A HAND GUN?!” said Tails.
“Relax I only want you to hold it for now, I need to see what information they took and we need to get out of here quick they might have found the entrance that leads to the other sectors by now.” said Rex grabbing a few things.

Rex had gotten a big folder from a hidden safe in the wall and some bullets and some other supplies for attacking, along with a pocket watch and a box of Pringles and other portable snack foods.

“Pringles?” said Tails.
“Well you don’t expect us to go hungry do you?” said Rex grabbing all that and putting them all in a box when he heard some people moving around as if on the top side of the tunnel, there was a big hole in the sealing of the ground and turf was falling in a lot.
Tails thought he overheard somebody mentioning searching more as if they missed something he whispered Rex a warning about it.

“They’re up there.” whispered Tails.
“I know what I’m doing.” said Rex then grapping one more thing from the safe.

It was a roman candle and a few firecrackers and other various exploding things
He was grabbing firecrackers especially.
Then he set the table upright and set them up so they would go through the hole in the sealing.

“Look Tails I’ll be blunt, I don’t like you and you don’t like me but either way you’re coming with me I’m not gonna have you tell all our secrets when they try breaking you down, so you with me or not?” said Rex before lighting his match from the safe.
“Don’t have much of a choice.” said Tails in a comedic tone.

He was still annoyed with Rex from all the times he was attacked by Spike’s Team so he was not very friendly towards him.

“Ok then.” said Rex lighting the fireworks.

The fireworks alarmed every soldier near by Rex was able to climb up the whole unnoticed being shielded by the fireworks and the notice of the firecrackers, although he did manage to get a few burns going through.

“We’re being fired upon!” said one of the soldiers crouched down on the group turning back and firing his rifle back.

Rex grabbed Tails, Tails unexpectedly was grabbed by his scruff and was making a struggle cause it didn’t feel comfortable, when he got to the top Rex had hold of his arm.

“You know I could have just flown up.” complained Tails.
“Shut up and run!” said Rex not having a problem carrying the weight of the supplies in his one hand and having hold of Tails in the other, he wasn’t very fast but he did manage to get them out of sight while the people were distracted by the fireworks display.

Chapter Eight “Our Guest”

Sonic popped up out of one of the tree stump entrances to a random sector but saw the fireworks going off.

“That’s a distress call, grrrrrr I’ll get a hold of them.” said Sonic speeding there as fast as two seconds but sliding slightly in the turf trying to get a look.

It was obviously already attacked and all the plans were taken, but that’s the least of his problems he had no clue what had become of the people in his sector, the only people he could hope to have gotten out would be Eggman who was out looking for stray metal or Rex who was helping out with giving the messages but Trixie was left in there while she was going over plans she was sure to be captured or worse and if she made it as far as Blake she would be sure to be killed if she didn’t give out the information he wanted.
Blake had gotten crueler and cruller as the eleven years went on, more and more angry he was always looking for Spike but Spike was impossible to find nowadays; Spike knew very well Blake only wanted to have him taken out but he was smart enough to never stay in one place they both were miserable.
But Blake had power lots of it and that was enough for him he loved giving orders all he wanted was a planet without any hope left so he wouldn’t have to worry about what he did, but really he didn’t know what it was he wanted the only things on his mind were finding Sonic and finding Spike and taking them both out.
Tai from this future was loyal to a point but he always had this spot inside of him that made him hate what he was doing especially now that he was thinking Flame was wiped off the slate so he was only really remaining loyal because Blake was in power but he didn’t really tell himself that.
This situation alarmed Sonic he clenched his fists angry and confused to how they would find their hidden base so fast.

“They forgot to invite me to the party, I guess I’ll have to drop in on them and ask why.” said Sonic in thrilled for some action once again but motivated more and more to find out where they are.

He raced as fast as he could but still keeping a low profile cause he knew there would be people patrolling the area.
Trixie was being drug off but the soldiers who were hustling her wouldn’t answer her when she asked them questions, they wouldn’t even speak to her they just shushed her every time she tried to speak.
Trixie remembered the hallways that she was walking down with the dim lights; it was the place she first found herself in this part in time.
They sat on a chair and a trap door opened, and they threw her down into it and shut her inside.
The dark room was very scary to her and the other freedom fighters were taken to other areas leaving her all alone in this scary looking solitary confinement.

“Is anyone in here?” said Trixie hoping to find somebody who could help her get out of there.

The above door was shut leaving her inside frightened and there were cobwebs everywhere.
There were a few dusty chairs an old table and she saw this old dirty bunk bed but the beds were broken as if in a fight.
There was nobody around she could only hear faint talking from the floor above and people’s footsteps and the only time she heard anything clearly was when a soldier stomped hard on the floor above yelling. “How you doing down there? Not so good huh?” In a mocking tone laughing along with a few others around above.
She tried banging herself against the door and pushing the old chair on it but it was no use the door was solid steel there was no way out.
She eventually lost hope and crept back into the corner to think long and hard about what was going to happen, if she knew Blake he would be there shortly to gloat and make her more miserable but that wasn’t even what she was worried about, she was worried about not being able to change the future now and that this would be the fate of the planet all because she wanted to prove herself before it gave her an offal feeling that made her rub her stomach also she was starving she didn’t get enough time to eat and there was no sign of water or food anywhere.

“Well another mess, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.” said Trixie chuckling only slightly then feeling horrible again. “The good thing is Sonic wasn’t captured so he can go for it without me…but if Blake comes over here then that will mean he’s not in the last room.” thought Trixie.

Quite shockingly Blake himself was there to greet her just like she thought would happen, he was more shocked then she was.
He looked older witch he was and he had this certain queer expression he however was always a good sport even if he was very much evil, Trixie looked at him with an adorable yet sad look in her eyes sitting there in the corner his shadow covering her very limited source of light.
She soon looked at him angrily till he finally spoke.

“Well isn’t this a surprise.” said Blake. “I thought I took care of you once before.”
“Nope still kicking, is that a surprise? I guess I’m just not the type of girl who gives up easy after being pushed around.” said Trixie.

Blake laughed at her rubbing it in her face like she expected.

“Wow you’ve changed in eleven years.” said Trixie sarcastically.
“I beg my pardon my dear but you look like you were eleven years before, don’t foxes age anymore?” said Blake.
“Maybe they don’t, how should I know.” said Trixie again being sarcastic.

Blake strung her up by her hand lifting her in the air so he could see eye to eye with her instead of looking down at her sitting in the corner.
Trixie looked at him not understanding what it was he wanted.
He then gently removed her glove proud that the mark he had on her was still there.

“Well I see you’re still branded and that must mean you belong to Me.” said Blake.
“I don’t belong to anyone.” said Trixie.
“Well I already know you’re not trustworthy for a soldier so I’ll just use you for information like last time only I will be more severe unless of course you want to be reasonable.” said Blake.
“In your dreams.” said Trixie.
“No I believe it’s far more real then that.” said Blake throwing her down.

Trixie attempted socking Blake but she was tired from struggling from the soldiers before.

“Please show our guest here how we dislike taking our hospitality for granted.” said Blake to a soldier before he left.

Chapter Nine “People of ForestWood?”

“Rex you sure are different from how I remember you.” said Tails.
“Ha you try living under an evil dictator and see if you don’t get tougher.” said Rex chuckling.

Tails looked half way board.

“Why was that place empty?” said Tails.
“Cause your sis and our people are kidnapped, again.” said Rex.
“TRIXIE WAS IN THERE? Oh no.” said Tails panicked.
“Stop panicking, I get enough of that from my kid.” said Rex sitting down.
“How could you just sit here at a time like this?” complained Tails.
“Look we knew we’d be found out eventually we were just hoping it wouldn’t be our leading sector, your sis is probably under questioning about now and no matter what they will get the information out of her one way or another so we need to think before we act.” said Rex intelligently.
“I always pegged you as the incompetent one.” said Tails surprised on how calm Rex was.
“Yeah so did everyone else last time I saw you, I’m just a little more levelheaded then before and thanks to those people I have too much to worry about so I sometimes HAVE to be calm.” said Rex looking inside the box of supplies and picking up the folder of plans inside.

Tails sat down hoping that he could get Trixie out if that had a backup plan inside.
Rex whacked the folder happily.

“Huh well there it is.” said Rex putting two fingers in his mouth whistling loudly in a strange note.

A few people came out armed.
Tails had a pretty good fright somebody had an arrow aimed at his head and Rex didn’t even see a response coming so soon giving him a jolt as well.
The head archer had a dark gold arrow pointed at Tails while the others had silver arrows, a few of them were behind them so you could barley see them and some of them were visible only by a little bit.

“Ok what’s going on?” said Tails.
“Is that a two tailed fox?” said the wolf looking at Tails strangely.

Rex turned to Tails.

“We have not had anybody call on us for a long time...” said one of the armed people.

When Rex recognized them he wasn’t as jolted.

“This is the Forestwood wolf pack Tails, they are mostly neutral but we helped a few of them when their people were captured, but I figured they might know the area better so I used the secret whistle Sonic saved for an emergency.” said Rex.
“Well why don’t you tell the whole world! Come on lets find shelter it will be a miracle if nobody heard you!” said the head wolf.

The bowmen didn’t say anything, but they were all hooded and not much of them was seen, the hoods were green with dark green trim, they had arrow packs on and always had their bows pointed down but two handed ready to fire and the bows were arrow shaped and short stringed it seemed the archers did not even need the extra string to hit a target their air made up for it, also they had dark green tunics with a belt pouch for extra arrows under their hooded capes along with one on their back, the head wolf was dressed the same but you could see his face more the hood was not on to hide his face as much.
When they got inside the forest more they found a small city with a large amount of wolfs and a few foxes as well, the city was pretty small but the small houses were well made anyway, all of the houses were made of wood that almost blended in to the trees beside them, when they got closer the wolfs allowed them to speak.

“Well this is odd this pack wasn’t here before but you all look older then eleven.” said Tails.
“We’ve always lived here, we’re just more discreet then others.” said the wolf leader.
“How’d you get to us so fast?” asked Tails while walking alongside Rex who was now being quieter then usual.
“This is our forest we are aware of everything that goes around it or within it.” said the wolf leader.
“How many of you are there?” said Tails.
“Many but more and more are leaving due to the supreme leader or whatever you call him.” said the wolf leader.
“Who are you?” said Tails. “I figured out you’re the leader but…?”
“Sorry he’s sort of new around here.” said Rex.
“No need to apologize for your friend here, my name is Archibald or Arch and I am known around here as The Golden Watchmen, but you my friend may call me Arch if you’d like.” said the wolf leader. “I lead this pack and I am responsible for this forest.”
“Why stay here when the rest of the world is in peril?” said Tails.
“Quiet fox you’re forgetting who’s in charge.” said Rex annoyed with Tails’s clever questions.
“Do not shush your friend knowledge is the best thing anyone can ask for, specking of such why have you called us to you? That whistle is only for Sonic the hedgehog to blow, and that makes you untrustworthy now that I think of It.” said Arch.
“Why do you keep calling me your friend then?” said Tails.
“Because of your two tails, you’ve been mentioned but all the legends said you had passed on, I suppose all rumors are not always true.” said Arch. “although part of it was true we’ve never seen a two tailed fox before.”

Rex stopped all of them; the villagers all went inside their houses as they approached.

“Ok listen I may not be Sonic the hedgehog, but I work under him his sector was attacked and all the people taken along with the plans our people are who knows where and I’m almost certain the other sectors are being attacked as we speak, we need help.” said Rex.

Arch pulled his glove up a little more then started stroking his chin.

“I cannot risk war my pack has stayed secret from the possessors of this planet and we want it to stay that way.” said Arch.

Rex stomped his foot on the ground shaking the ground a little from his strength.

“Are you all stupid? They’ve been searching for our base for a little over nine years and they still found us, what difference does it make if you’ve stayed hidden longer? We will always have to hide unless Blake is brought to justice.” argued Rex.
“You are strong I can see and strong willed but even if we wanted to launch an attack my pack would be defenseless if I brought my bowmen.” said Arch.
“That whistle you heard? Sonic marked exactly the call it would take for a last resort and I called you.” said Rex calmer now. “We saved your people when they were attacked the last time in the other wood witch I guess you moved from and you promised the next time you called you would grant one request.”

Arch smirked.

“You have no authority over us, you talk as if YOU were the one who did it personally I don’t remember a bullheaded hedgehog giving us aid.” said Arch. “that promise was to Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog alone.”

Tails thought for a moment while they were talking.

“Maybe there’s a way I can help, if I told them Sonic told us to witch isn’t really lying because he put those planes for the freedom fighters then maybe he’d listen.” thought Tails till he spoke out.

“Arch? Sonic wanted us to ask your help, we don’t know where he is and if he isn’t captured as well but if he is then there’d be no way of his asking you, now if you promised to help us help us otherwise we’ll just have to break in and help our friends ourselves.” said Tails. “My sister and a few of my friends have been captured and I for one am not going to leave them there.”

With that Tails stormed off in the direction he came from.

“Well I don’t like the guy much but he has a point, I’ve been working with those guys for a long time I don’t want to see them rot and be questioned endlessly by the enemy, see you and thanks for nothing.” said Rex who decided to follow him.

Arch rubbed his hands over his face then sighed.

“Gather the archers.” said Arch.

Chapter Ten “Quick Thinking”

Trixie was staying strong, even being kicked around by Blake’s men.

“You all turned on him before why did you join back with them?” said Trixie with a restless tone.
“HA! Spoke for some of us but the ones that betrayed him have been wiped out.” said the soldier.

Trixie was not harmed much except the soldiers were pushing her and shoving her a lot.

“Where’d you get the locket girl?” said the soldier mockingly. “All the slaves aren’t allowed to have gold.”

The soldier reached for the locket but Trixie smacked his hand back.

“Listen you, you don’t want to get on my bad side.” said Trixie.
“Oh yeah I’m so scared.” said the soldier sarcastically.
“If I had the nerve I’d prove it to you.” said Trixie.
“Go ahead and try girly, we’re ready for you, the Leader told us you weren’t trustworthy and that makes you an enemy.” said the soldier.

His mate soldier laughed in agreement quietly but cruelly Trixie just looked annoyed.

“Well can you tell me what’s going to happen then?” said Trixie hoping he’d spill some information.
“Oh yeah you’re in for it, when the General gets here he’s gonna treat you real nice.” said the soldier again repeating his sarcastic behavior.
“Who’s that?” said Trixie.
“A guy high in charge he’s said to be the ultimate life form I don’t see a connection though.” said the soldier.
“Ultimate life form? That sounds like a name I heard before maybe somebody Tails told me of, but I just can’t remember.” thought Trixie. “These guys don’t seem like the brightest of the bunch though maybe I can outfox them…hehe outfox that’s funny if you think about it.”

Trixie giggled then she looked alarmed, she started running around in circles in her cell with the two soldiers who were watching her like a hawk.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHH! HEADAKE! HEADAKE! I CAN’T TAKE IT!” shouted Trixie.

Trixie seemingly fainted and the soldiers were now alarmed.

“Can she faint from a headache?” said one of the soldiers.
“How should I know I don’t hang around foxes.” said the other soldier.

The soldiers both leaned over, Trixie’s eye opened half way on the side they weren’t examining.

“Do you realize what will happen if she dies? We’ll be shot and hung for this! They’ll think we executed a prisoner!” said the other soldier in a panic.
“I know what happens when we mess with business of the guys in charge! I can’t go to jail for this!” said the soldier. “We gotta go get a doctor! Doctor doctor! Get over here!”

To Trixie’s luck they fell for her act, they ran outside but the wind made the door almost close, she had to let her tail get smashed to keep the door from shutting.

“Man that hurt! I’ll have to try a better plan next time.” said Trixie quickly running out the door, but the door smashed behind her alerting others in the area, she ran up the stairs passed the chairs and table and into the hallway franticly.

But Trixie was unlucky she didn’t come up with the plan sooner; she didn’t run into a soldier but Shadow himself.
Shadow angrily grabbed her arm lifting her in the air ignoring her screams yells and scratching to get down.

“Who is this? You look like somebody I’ve seen before.” said Shadow.

Trixie after struggling and realizing his grip over her was too strong didn’t respond to him.

“I can’t tell him I’m who I am if he doesn’t remember me…I’ll have to make up a lie if this place is full of spies and stuff maybe I can make something believable up.” thought Trixie.
“I am a spy for the uhhh Supreme Commander and I would advise, YOU PUT ME DOWN!” said Trixie.

Shadow rolled his eyes.

“And I’m a ballroom dance instructor.” said Shadow sarcastically.
“Do you think spies need to look strong? No that would be to unbelievable besides I’m on your side uhhhhhh I’m related to Anna.” said Trixie.
“Meh I really don’t care I’m just irritated you ran into me without looking, what are you five years old?” said Shadow.
“No I was just in a hurry the soldiers thought I was so believable they mistook me for somebody else, ummmmm Trixie Prower was her name I took this costume on purpose otherwise they’d see through me but the enemy won’t because she disappeared and they actually believe it’s possible for her to come back, stupid morons.” said Trixie proud of her excuse.

She was actually making up a very believable story she changed her voice as she spoke so it sounded cruel witch was her intention but Shadow could tell she was up to something.

“Trixie? I still can’t put my finger on it, I was sent a message saying I need to ask a prisoner a few questions.” said Shadow.
“I took care of that for you.” said Trixie sounding a little more nervous now.
“What’s your name?” said Shadow.
“Uhhhhh my name’s…my name’s Tammy?” said Trixie.
“Fine then I’ll just go back to what I was doing.” said Shadow opening the door, Trixie waited till he left then she rushed at the door before it shut and raced outside the building.
