Angel Island - Breathtaking Vision

"My, that's sure one big ol' hunk of rock floatin' there," Bunnie said in amusement, though equally in awe. After a moment she stopped and took a quick glance around the air, looking for any signs of Robotnik's forces.

As Tails gazed at the vast landmass that was Angel Island, a wave of nostalgia swept over him, to days back when he was just a teeny kit, following Sonic all around the diverse island. From coastal forests to muggy mushroom swamps, amusement parks to snowy mountain peaks, lava-filled caverns to high above the clouds.

"It sure was an adventure." he sighed, eyes heavilly clouded in remembrance.

Suddenly there was a loud BANG plane's ceiling, undoubtedly jarring everyone to their senses. After a moment the cause revealed itself when a grimy but familiar face poked itself out from over the top to look through the windshield.

"Well look at what I have found. Sardines in a can!"

Bunnie gasped with a look of fear bleeding across her face. No, not him! Not now! "Oh stars, it's you!"

She looked around at the group and their surroundings. They were still up in the air, and thus, extremely vulnerable. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all.

Immediately Tails' fur bristled as soon as he saw the blue chrome head appear. He glared at Metal, covering up his suprize with anger.

"Not you again!" he spat. Realizing suddenly that this was NOT the Cyclone, and he was NOT piloting, Tails had little else to say but, "Sally, DO A BARREL ROLL try and shake him!"

@bunniue@ "YEEP!" Bunnie yelped, grabbing onto her seat to steady herself.

With a loud screech and sound of metal crushing, a pair of talons dug their way into the plane's roof. Metal anchored himself, having already been fully expecting such a maneuver. Turning to work with the flow of the plane's spin he fired off his jet... if they wanted to do a barrel roll so badly he going to give them the barrel roll from hell.[rand=9270149107164297084930899775213849866354824831948024841337052035173]

Fighting her own stomach and the now nonresponsive controls, Sally, while keeping one hand on the stick, pulled out her laser pistol and fired up at where she figured Metal to be, hoping to Chaos she wasn't blasting a control line or something as well.

Hey well, Mina could rival Antoine in the face department. "I....feel....so....siiiiiick." and now her face was green.


"Commence fire!" and that they did, firing their cannons for the plane's wings.

"What do you think I'm doing!?" Sally shouted, regaining control of the plane barely in time to try to avoid the fire from the hoverunits.
[dice=6][dice=6]

She banked out of the way of one of the lasers...and right into the other. There was a terrible hissing sound, followed by a shriek of tearing metal right before the entire plane started spinning again...while one of its wings went spinning off in the other direction.

"HANG ON, WE'RE GOING DOWN!"[rand=80281254201724563104086925258604586682825545167149411868159173486]

"AH DID NOT SIGN UP FER THIS KIND OF RIDE!" Bunnie shrieked, latching tightly onto the seat in front of her to brace for impact.

Metal watched as the plane spun out of control and began to make a nose dive, then looked ahead, calculating where he figured the plane was most likely to come to rest. He sped off, seeming to vanish from sight.

"I think you're being the worst pilot evaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Tails screamed back when they were hit, his last word turning into a scream from the intense spinning.

Why did this seem so familiar?

Oh yeah. Poor Tornado. Too bad he didn't get knocked out for this ride, even HE was starting to get nauseous.

[dice=2] (Consciousness check)

And with each bounce Bunnie let out a startled "OOF!" as she struggled to hang on and stay in her seat. When the plane made its final bounce and landed she gave a cry as she was thrown forward. Her seatbelt kept her from flying forward into the front seat, but it didn't stop her head from slinging back and hitting the back of the plane. Stars flew everywhere in her vision before she slumped over, unconscious.

... Bouncing on top of mushrooms. The metallix could said with certainty that he hadn't exactly been expecting that. Oh well, so they landed a little further away then he'd expected them to... No problem with that.

He slowly approached the wreck once it had settled, issuing an okay for the nearby hover units to land.[rand=2016692021078552225709184823792286980309453360813528804788690892613]

Tails groaned, and sat up dizzilly. That was probably his second worst crash ever, and he wasn't even the pilot. He forced his jumbled stomache to settle down, and drearilly heard the sounds of the robots coming towards them.

"What else is there?" he said, sounding oddly cheery. It was probably because he still did not know how powerful and terrifying this world's megalomaniac could be, and thus was comparing them (with the BIG exception of Metal) with Eggman's Egg Pawns... which were pitifully easy to destroy. Oh wait... the SWATs are like that. But still, the fox was probably underestimating his opponents (with, again, the exception of Metal).

"Let's smash those Eggman robots!" he yelled, almost like a battle-cry.

Sally quickly reached over and grabbed Tails by one tail, even as she grabbed her pistol from where it had fallen under the seat when they crashed. "Hold on, your plenty of expearance at battling Eggpawns and Badniks aside, these robots probably fight totally differently from what you're used to, even forgetting the fact that that's a Metal Sonic out there. Besides," she added, nodding to Bunnie, "we can't exactly have a firefight while she's just laying here. We need to get out of here and find Knuckles before its too late to warn him!"

What Sally had said was most definately true, and Tails probably would have agreed with her upon realizing the poor rabbit girl was unconcious, and that this WAS another dimension and he shouldn't be assuming things... but he couldn't agree.

He probably couldn't even think at the moment. Tails' mind was a big blank, seeing as he felt a sensation he never wanted to feel again.

Someone grabbing one of his tails. Back then he would have cowered in fear, being weak, shy, and bullied. But now, thanks to the inspiration from Sonic, the fox turned wrathful.

"... GET OFF ME!" he roared, and by pure instinct, he threw a mighty punch that would make Knuckles proud at Sally's face. [dice=6]

[dice=6]
Unfortunately, due to being distracted by Taboo, Tails did not notice Metal Sonic make a grab for him.

An electric-current-that's-really-freaking-painful grab.

After he threw his spectacular punch, Tails cried out in pain from the electricity flowing through him. His fur went static, and slightly crispy on the end. Mouth open wide in pain and panic, Tails fell to the ground with a cry as his legs twitched and collapsed from the electric current. His nerves too jello-fied from the shock, Tails couldn't make his body fight back.

And that really, really, scared him.[rand=9303118030615617796649685417926592976965605234780734682685535899]
