[dice=6] Finitevus was thrown back from the force of the boy's kick and skid across the floor. <I don't know. The 'telepathy', as it were, is rather useful.> As he came sliding to a halt beside the desk he'd been sitting at, the pangolin, his eyes glowing brightly, eyed his chair and grabbed a hold of it, flinging it at the kit - simutaneously surprising himself with the amount of ease he was able to do it with.

[dice=6] But Tails caught the chair and sent it right back at Fini. <... I never would have thought of this as telepathy.> [dice=6][rand=7836766900902493541803753558444258980974475959732833808402423205]

[dice=6] <Well, why not? Show some imagination, boy!> Of course, he'd realized by now that for this little stunt Robotnik was quite likely to separate the two of them, though he hoped at most the two of them would simply be ordered to cooperate. It was a little late now to do anything about it, and really, he did had to admit that in a bizarre way he was enjoying this. The chair slammed into his chest after the kit's throw, sending Finitevus crashing into the mainframe. Even more sparks spewed out from the machine as the pangolin found himself embedded, not helped by the fact his razor sharp scales had been spread out offensively and were now piercing through the casing into delicate equipment. As he tore himself free a large chunk of the casing ended up coming off with him, exposing the circuitry beneath. <... You're definitely right about the pain part though. Though phantom pain is still quite inconvenient,> he paused for a moment upon realizing just how much damage the two of them had caused. He was unable to keep himself from grinning wickedly. <Goodness, aren't we making a fine mess.> Despite the escalating shrieks of the techbot, Finitevus was eager to test out what the limits of his strength in this robotic body were. With that thought in mind, he snatched up the chair again. It was a swivel chair, and he found himself easily able to rip the seat fight off its base. Now using the base as a club, he charged at Tails, swinging the base at the kit and then immediately following it up in the same momentum with another powerful swing from his tail. <Think fast!> [dice=6] [dice=6][rand=378407714713580152700600472929221450913364862111418953869393056155]

[dice=6] [dice=6] Tails managed to block the chair's base, but was then blindsided by Fini's tail. He let out an involuntary "Oof", even though he no longer had lungs to make such a sound, before dancing back out of reach of Fini's tail. <If I didn't use my own tails as weapons I'd almost say you cheated!> Tails yelled, going into a tailspin attack. Almost like a quick-stepping dancer, Tails twirled towards Fini, attacking with his tails. The only thing was, instead of one tail to dodge, there were two! <Let's see you think fast now!> [dice=6] [dice=6][rand=815000731719884211857785595737596143773931571290657850721163497776]

[dice=6][dice=6] Finitevus merely laughed at the boy's response. <It's not cheating if you have the ability. It's survival!> He quickly found himself unable to dodge the first tail, but as the second followed up the pangolin leaned backward into a position that would make a limbo champion proud. <Not bad, boy! Let's see you dodge this though!> He quickly dropped all the way to his feet and spun around, swinging his tail around at Tails' legs.

[dice=6] Tails saw the swing coming, and instead of dodging it, he set his feet and took the blow, but did not move an inch. <I don't need to dodge since I have something with a better swing in mind!> The fox reached down and grabbed the pangolin's tail, swinging Fini around in a circle until he let go, sending the scientist flying into a wall. [dice=6][rand=67758270588503514835007509061571085638836565710519566415652378577]

[dice=6] Ever seen a roboticized pangolin go flying? WHAM.You have now. Finitevus slammed into the still shrieking techbot, sending both slamming back into the mainframe and causing even more damage to it, not to mention pretty much trashing the bot in the process. The sudden silence left within the room was certainly welcome. <Very impressive,> Fini said as he pulled himself away from the wreck and took to examining himself, <Grabbing my tail is pretty bold,> And stupid, <Of course, I wouldn't recommend it under normal circumstances,> he looked back at the remains of that infernal computer he'd been sitting at most of the day and grinned. <Well. I hope Robotnik backed up my research. I do so hate having to repeat myself.>[rand=363898749873339031156118038127442721084873799518766093847519627963]

Tails grinned at the compliment, then turns his palms up to look at the scores of dents Finitevus's tail had left in them. Judging by the sharp creases, they would have easily pierced his skin... if he had any skin. Almost like a balloon with a hole in its side, the fox's fighting spirit deflated, until the morose look he had when this first happened was once again on his face. <We're gonna get through this okay, won't we?> Tails asked tentatively. It seemed like the kind of question you would ask to seek comfort, and it was most definately a question he would have asked Sonic. He really, really missed Sonic right now.

Once again, the monitor flickered to back to the scowling face of Robotnik. Flickered, that is, since apparently some of the circuitry responsible for that particular monitor was damaged in the scuffle. "Stop."

Ah, weakness. Finitevus knitted his brow together sympathetically, brushing off his shoulders and folding his scales back down as he approached the boy. He planted a reassuring hand down on Tails' shoulder and squeezed it gently. <Of course we will. I'll make sure of it.> The doctor had barely had the chance to finish his statement when Robotnik's face flickered back onto the screen. Finitevus glared, grabbing Tails by both shoulders pulling him closer in a protective gesture. "Stop what?" he asked in a sardonic tone, a smirk accompanying it. "We aren't doing anything."

Tails seemed to feel more reassured when Fini said what he did, and with the pangolin's condencending tone towards the reappearance of Robotnik, it seemed to replenish his already fragile confidence. "Yeah. We were just talking." Which, again, was the truth. Tee hee.

Robotnik's scowl deepened, and the screen flickered again. "With the damage reports that are coming in, I find that hard to believe. No more destruction of my property."

Finitevus shrugged flippantly. "You're the one who told me not to lie as I recall. But if that's what you want I suppose I have no choice, hmm?"

The scowl remained. "I'll repeat- No destruction of my property. And that includes each other. Go back to work. And you..." His gaze shifted to the fox... "...send in the list of materials. As soon as the materials are provided to you, get to work on creating my power source." He sneered. "...And in between the time of sending in that list and waiting for the arrival of supplies, you are to do nothing."

"Okay, I'll send it in as soon as it's done." Tails replied, twiddling his thumbs. It wouldn't be very noticable, but it appeared as if the fox had a plan. A THUMB-TWIDDLING PLAN.

I'm sorry, I believe I must have static in my ears, Finitevus thought as his smirk drooped a bit. I am not your property!As much as he would have liked to have said that out loud, the scientist eyed Robotnik with a defiant, predatory glare. "Very well." he said in an icy tone.

"Good. And do not interfere with the repairs, either." And the transmission ended.

Tails shuddered as Robotnik left them to their own devices once more. "He is really the ugliest human I have ever seen." he stated. He was still twiddling his thumbs. <You know, when he said to turn in that list? I really can't. :3 >

Finitevus gave an ugly glare at the monitor before turning around to face Tails again and reclining back, using his tail to support him (since his chair had kinda been, you know, torn apart). <Your missing notes, I presume?> the pangolin smirked dimly. <I can't really go back to work until my station's repaired either.>

<Sucks for him then.> Tails responded. He paused, searching his databanks for something interesting he heard Fini say. <... So... you said before that you had Sally with you. Would she be the one from our world or this one?> Tails asked. He seemed really confused about what the other Sally could possibly be. There was certaintly no doubt in his mind that places like GUN or Station Square could exist in this place.

"Ah. Kind of like how I found myself in the middle of that giant forest." Pause. "Though, I'm almost certain that there's no governmental police force she's aligned with. What does she do?"

Finitevus dipped his head forward, cupping his chin with his hand.<She's a nudist princess. From what she told me this world's Robotnik overthrew her father and she's been nakedly at war with him for the last decade.>

<... I... wow.> Tails finally said. <I really didn't expect something like that... though I guess it would be pretty obvious that Robotnik didn't have control from the beginning.> <I hope you didn't intimidate her. :D>m

<Oh, give me some credit,> the pangolin smirked. <I was trying to find out information on these portals when she fell through. I offered to help get her back home since it coincided with my research.>

<And here I was thinking our counterparts would be almost exactly like us. I mean... I saw the two Sonic's going at it, and they did everything exactly alike.> That hilarious scene and the one after it reminded Tails of something that made him quite upset. <... Their Metal Sonic is worse of a jerk than ours though. He took my toaster. ;.;> Pause <And he fights better too.>

Finitevus pondered over that for a moment, that person he'd met in the maintenance room suddenly popping back up in his memory. With it quickly returned the sense of astonishment he'd during that conversation - now multiplied by a sudden realization that seemed to come to him. He canted his head to one side. <... I think...> he made a bizarre sort of face, <My counterpart in this world might be an echidna.>

There was a very long pause from Tails. <AN ECHIDNA!?> Tails exclaimed, fully aware that Knuckles was the last of his species. <Then what am I, a warrah?!> Of course, knowing that he knew Knuckles so well, he couldn't help but entertain the thought of seeing Knuckles reacting to a girl echidna. The guy already lost enough blood looking at Rouge already.
