Brave New World! ... Or not

"...donde estoy. Recuerdo solamente un flash brillante de la luz. ¿Dónde estoy?"

While Rotor tries to understand the translating device, he frowned that he couldn't understand the Spanish language. Since when did Barby knew Spanish?


"Westopolis, girl," Barby said, speaking in English, but it'll sound like ancient Mobian to Az, "...and yeah, I'm surprised myself, but the lil bloke is a world hero...well, a sidekick of a world hero."



"Hey now, Tails is smarter than Eggman, you know!"

[Lans]

"Egg who?"

[AnT]

Rotor reeled away, shocked at what he just said. "Y-y-you don't remember your greatest enemy?"

...


"Oh of course, you probably got amnesia after a EPIC battle!! Well you know, Dr. Eggman...the world's most dangerous terrorists?"

It looked like Tails didn't understand.

"Urm...the evil robotists, who uses robots to try to take over the world," He then frowned and folded his arms, "While making us technological minds look bad!"

Still no difference...

"Um...Dr. Robotnik? Eggman is his nickname."

[Sipp]

"Westopolis.... Robotnik..." Az suddenly grabbed Barby by the shoulders, having a surprisingly strong grip for someone so small. "...This is the planet Mobius, isn't it!?"

[Lans]

Tails lit up at that. "Eggman? You're right, he kinda does look like an egg, you gotta tell Sonic that one!" Tails said with a laugh.

[AnT]

"Um...I like to, but I never met Sonic before. Think you can introduce me to....erm, never mind. Besides, waaay too late for that; Sonic called him that since the beginning, but now Robotnik calls himself Eggman for some odd reason. Hey, why does he calls himself---"

He trailed off when he noticed the display between the girls.

"Uh oh..."



With wide dangerous eyes, Barby glared down at Az, "You better let go, because you do NOT want to make an Aussie angry!"

[Sipp]

Az was not cowed. She was looking almost frantic. "Is this Mobius?!" She repeated, louder.

[Lans]

Tails was about to protest that he'd never heard Sonic call Robotnik 'Eggman' before. Mostly 'Robuttnik', 'Buttnik', and 'Lard Ball', but not 'Eggman'. But then he also saw the two girls start to get in a fight and pushed between them. "Stop! Don't fight!"

[AnT]

"Well the wanker started it!" she glared back at Az. "And does the outside look like a night clubbie? Where on EARTH have you been?"


"Oh boy...is that the 'trouble bell' I hear?" Quickly, he grabbed Tails' shoulders and lifted him away from the girls. "I think you better step back before the crossfires hit...Somehow, I thought you be a little taller, Tails."

[Sipp]

Az gave Barby a flat glare. "What the hell is Earth? Yes or no!"

She glanced at Tails, noting his distress, and let go of the koala, backing off a step.

[Lans]

"Hey!" Tails protested, "I'm almost 2 and a half feet!" he said, as if it was supposed to be impressive.

[AnT]

"Sorry...but according to that website Mina showed me, you're actually 2 feet and 8 inches...or was it 7? Erm...you remember Mina, right? She told me she helped you grow Sonic's quills after it was burned off by some firey princess lady. Man, I still can't believe my hair growth formula worked."


"Neither can I!" Barby then arched a brow at Az, "You gotta be kiddin!...Um...Earth is the planet you're standing? What planet you're from?"

Actually that last part was sarcasm, but now that she thought about it, aliens aren't so farfectched anymore.

"Wait...are you an alien? Cause after that last friggin alien attack, I'm not sure I can trust more aliens again."


"Yeah, that Black Arms alien we fought was murder...but on the up side, I got such neat stuff from him!"


"Right, and we almost got arrested for keeping them!" she growled at Rotor.

[Sipp]

". . ."

She took a deep breath. "Mobius," she then said through clenched teeth, "I'm from Mobius."

She gave Tails a few comforting pats on the back. "Ignore them. You're only, what, ten? You'll grow. Unlike me..." she muttered something under her breath.

[Lans]

If course to Tails, it sounded like Az was still speaking spanish so he just gave her an odd look before asking Rotor: "Who's Mina?"

[AnT]

"Um well..."


"Oi, enough of this! Let me recap this lil bloody sitch!"

Barby paced around, rubbing her forehead.

"We got some alien lady who can't phone ET home..." She then pointed at Tails, "...and we have a lil world hero who lost some of his lil memory, yet he claims he knows you, tech-head. Though I'm not sure he's fair dinkum bout that."


"Well let's look at this forth-dimensionally, Barby. Tails as you know is a technological genius, so he probably built some kind device that altered reality, where I met him and-"


"Short version of what I said; you never met! Get it memorized!"

[Sipp]

"I think he's from Mobius too," Az noted, glancing at Tails, "He knows who Robotnik is. "

[AnT]

Rotor nodded when Barby translated what Az said. "Erm, everyone knows who Eggman is, even Barby here."


"Hey!! Just because I don't care for anything other than nature and pictures, doesn't mean I don't know some friggin idiot who can't take over an ant hill."


"And Tails is the sidekick of THE Sonic the Hedgehog. No way he's from another planet."

[Lans]

"You bet he isn't!" Tails said, "Sonic's the coolest thing on Mobius!"

[Sipp]

"Mobius." Az repeated after Tails said it. "You see, he himself says that he came from Mobius. Perhaps you have him mistaken for someone else."

[AnT]

"Oh really...?" she rolled her eyes before she pointed up..."Then what the bloody hell you call THAT?"

...at a billboard on top of a three story building. It showed a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog with his many famous poses, along with Tails in front of the planet Earth herself. On the right side of the picture with big letters that said

'Planet Earth, proud home of world heroes, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails.'

[Lans]

Tails looked up at the billboard. "...But Sonic's from mobius...and that's not me!" He suddenly glared at Barby. "Yer working for Robotnik aren't you!" he said, pointing at he accusingly. He revved up his tails, taking off and grabbing Rotor's arm, trying to drag him along. "Come on Rotor, we gotta get outta here!"

[Sipp]

"Has it occured to you perhaps, that there is more than one Sonic? Or Tails?" she noted now what the fox was doing now, "Or Rotor."

The tay put a hand on the fox's arm. "That not your hero," she said in strained, accented english. She was a quick learner (but mistook "friend" for "hero"), and was beginning to associate english words to old mobian.

[AnT]

"I work for what? Now hold on-" just when she was about march over to the young kit...

drsipp said:

"¿Ha ocurrido a usted quizás, eso allí es más que uno Sonic? ¿O Tails? ¿… O Rotor?"

"Oi, from what Mina told me...a butt-load of times, there's like...hundreds of friggin Sonic copies, and thank the high n mighty there's only one warlus-chops."


Sadly, the little fox might lack the strength to lift up this large purple walrus, unlike a certain flying rabbit who was able to lift Amy and Big of all people.

"Um...what are you doing Ta---wait...did you say Sonic is from a planet called Mobius?"

...


...

"HOLY one point twenty-one gigawattz!! It's true!! SONIC'S AN ALIEN!!! WOOOO!!!"



"........this is your friggin noggin on TV. Oi..."

She approached the strange girl who was telling the fox something.

"Look...phoning your mother ship or whatever is something beyond our hand...even alien-boy here...-sigh- But I'm not gonna like myself in the morning if I don't do something so..."

She rubbed her furry cheek, trying to come up with some way to help an alien find her way home.

"You know...speaking of that pretty-boy hedgehog, we don't know where to find the bloomin hog, but we do know where to find his uncle. We can take ya to him and leave ya at that,"

She glared up at the large warlus.

"That is if none of your flying toys haven't been on the crashed list lately, alien-boy."


"Well...I do have the Tri-Zoot-Scooter. I've preped it with enough power to get us to places as far as Station Sqaure."

From his tool belt, Rotor pulled out a remote. When he pressed it, it made a sound you hear when someone sets a car-alarm on.

From the air, another strange flying bike landed as it blew out steam from its belly. This one was green, and had pairs of trolley seats on its sides, and the main driver seat was enough to fit another passenger with the driver.

"Added with a auto-pilot to track me where I am, as you can see."


"Yeah, after how many...eh you know, Rotor. So you mates in, cause we're going to the other Hell that is Station Sqaure?"

[Lans]

"Huh?"

[Sipp]

"Then how do you explain this kit, obviously from my world, clinging to him and associating as if he knew him?" she frowned up at Barby.

She then turned to Tails. Pointed at Rotor. And then, again, in accented english. "Not your hero." ... "Different ... walrus... chops."

Then back at Barby. "What is a mothership? .. and a blooming hog...?" she didn't understand the slang.

And then Rotor's invention arrived. Az's hands flew to her scimitars, looking alarmed. "What the hell is that?!"

[AnT]

"Relax, horn-girl; it's our ride. I repeat, we are going to Station Sqaure and ask Uncle Chuck if he can help you nutters, cause obviously we're not the best kind of help."

With that, Barby skipped over to the bike and sat on rear end of the main seat.

"Come on, Rotor! Let's am-scray!"


"Erm....sure." and he merely walk to his bike while towing Tails with him like he was a balloon. Getting on in front of Barby, he then placed Tails in one of the side carriages, giving him a helmet. "Hey, maybe we can stop over at Tails' Workshop. Maybe that could jog his memory."


"Somehow, I doubt it, mate." Crossing her arms, she smirked at Az. "You coming or not?"
