Mystic Ruins - Much Ado

[Wez]

His lab was nice and quiet, which suited Tails, as he was fast asleep after spending all night working on a toaster. Sleeping, he generally found, required nice quietness. Not that he would have noticed even if Eggman had been using Metal Sonic as a kettle drum for some impromptu reggae right in his ears.
He was just that tired.



Zizzle groaned and sagged onto his back, clinging to his severed wing. He kept getting 'feelings' and with each one, his brain screamed with agony.
"I'm just gonna pass out now."
And he did so.

[Sora]

Sonic, seeing that the little horse needed help picked Zizzle up and brought him into Tails' Lab, hoping to high heaven that he was home now. "TAILS?" Sonic yelled, "I need your help! We have a problem!"

[Jamie Lee]

Metal just stood there in the patch of dirt that made up Tails' front lawn, watching Sonic as he called out for his two-tailed companion with the unicorn in his arms.

"H-Hey, wait for me!" Scythe called out, bolting toward the house where Sonic stood. He shuddered when he saw himself passing Metal, wings instinctively fluttering in a threatening display.

[Wez]

He flicked at his nose in his sleep. He had the funniest feeling that someone was calling out to him. His ear twitched.

[Sora]

Sonic called out once more, a desperate call for "TAIIIIILS???"

[Jamie Lee]

Metal groaned quietly and rolled his eyes. Tolerating Sonic in his presence was bad enough. Hearing him scream repeatedly for his little mutant friend... too much.

He eyed a stone on the ground, and in one quick motion grabbed and sent it flying for one of Tails' windows.

Scythe had just caught up with Sonic was he caught the metallix's actions out of the corner of his eye, wings rising up behind him.

"Look out!" he yelled, ducking onto the ground. One of his blades accidentally slicing through one of the wooden posts in front of Tails' door.

[Sora]

Sonic twitched when he heard the glass shatter. He turned slowly to face Metal and said "Why did you do that? He's probably just sleeping! The poor kid works so dang hard all night, and then you break his window because he's tired? Metal, not cool." Sonic looked down at the robot replica in his arms and said "You should get that to Eggman now." Sonic turned and picked up Zizzle taking him into Tails' Lab and then appeared back outside with an impatient look on his face.

[Jamie Lee]

Metal just shrugged, eyeing Sonic sharply. "That boy is hurt, is he not?" he pointed at Zizzle. "Are you going to wait to give him medical attention while that mutant sleeps the day away?"

He picked the cannister back up, robot still in his arms and turned. "Yes. You are right. I should be going. However, as I was trying to tell you earlier, I have something you should know," he paused, deciding to divulge a piece of information he'd withheld earlier... "Dr. Talon goes by an alter ego, one named Alexi Dimitrov. That should make finding your action a little easier. However, do keep in mind he is famous. You do not want to charge recklessly after him and get yourself in trouble with the media, now do you?"

Metal fired his jet and hovered in the air for a moment. "Also know that just because I have offered a measure of aid does not make us allies. Talon is a threat to both myself and my Liege."

And with that, he took off toward the ocean and soon vanished from sight entirely.

[Sora]

Sonic groaned. The robot was right, Zizzle was hurt. But that was no reason to destroy a window. Sonic noticed that Metal took off in the direction of the ocean, and concidered that as he turned and went back inside. "Alexi Dimitrov! I know that name! Huh... Metal is right. If I just go up front and start accusing him of this, the public may think Ive lost it." Sonic Ran into Tails' room and tried to rouse the small fox. "Tails! Wake up pal! Someone needs your help!!"

[Mage's Brother]

Faulco was not happy. he had been blown into feathers an excess of 342 times now since he'd left the Sky Sanctuary. He needed to get revenge and FAST. Speaking of fast, there was that annoying and totally Unrawking Blue Hegehog down below. Wait a minute...

Faulco screeched out of the sky and crash landed nearby to Sonic and started coughing like he was dying. "Help...please...help the *cough cough* Faulco...."

[Wez]

Tails appeared at the door, looking sleep mussed and with little glints of glass glittering over one side of his fur, both tails twitching in opposite directions.
"Oh ... hey Sonic. What's all the ruckus about? Your toaster isn't finished yet." He rubbed at an eye and yawned. He saw someone in his friend's arms and cocked his head.
"Why're you carrying a horsie around?"

[Jamie Lee]

Just as Tails finished his question, the wooden board that sat on stop the post Scythe had moments ago accidentally sliced began swaying from being disturbed and dropped suddenly.

[Sora]

[dice=6]

((Woah. Bad rolls for all.))

Sonic barely managed to catch the wooden post, when he heard another faint cry for help. "Hmm...?" He looked out and saw the bird he met in Station Square. "Tails, this little dude needs some 'medical' attention. Im gonna go see what that bird is up to.[rand=04966072010158517646749542127389399440561241744366817528492837019]

[Mage's Brother]

"Heh he. He took the bait." Sonic came strolling up beside Faulco, not smitten with the idea of helping.

"Please Sawnik! Err...Sonc. You gotta help me. I'm...being bullied...BY A DRAGON! Can you go kick his RAWKING I mean...his buttocks?"

[Sora]

Sonic stared blankly at the bird and said, "A dragon? Hmpf. You're being bullied now, and you want me to do something about it? What about the people you practically ruined yesterday with that little stunt of yours? If he is bullying you so badly, then get away from him. There is a hostpital in Station Square. If they are more forgiving than me, they might take care of those electric burn marks. In the meantime, the next time you think of bullying someone, think twice. Im outta here." With that, the hedgehog darted back up to Tails' Lab and shut the door.

[Mage's Brother]

Faulco desired a bomb...or a lightning bolt or a....(He looked skyward) AN AIRPLANE! Yes an airplane was flying over head. That would do nicely. He flew to reach it, eager to enact his planssssss.

[Wez]

Tails peered at the horse boy left in his lab, then looked out the door doubtfully. He was hardly a doctor. The pack on his back distracted the fox and he gently prised the wing out of his hands. He turned it over and watched as the light glittered off the membranes, then he traced his fingers over the surface. Excitement rose and he laid it on a work surface before unclipping the pack off. He set it aside for later study and looked at the older boy. The horn made him frown and he poked it. Must be some kind of crazy fashion. Glue holding it on was pretty tight, it didn't even wobble.
With a sigh, he figured it was as good a time as any to use those fun sensors he'd tinkered with last week. Maybe they'd detect what was wrong.

[Jamie Lee]

Scythe's wings had fluttered out when he saw the post fall, and breathed a sigh of relief when Sonic caught it. That guy was FAST. He sheepishly looked around and twiddled his fingers nervously. He would have folded his arms behind his back, but that would have just made his blades stick out even worse.

He watched Sonic reenter the house and nervously followed him inside. Though he was unsure about the idea of entering a stranger's house, he was concerned about the little unicorn guy he'd carried here. He kept his arms glues to his sides to reduce risk of him knocking something over or slicing something else.

[Sora]

Sonic walked into the room with Tails and said, "His wing is broken little buddy. Can you fix it?"

[Wez]

"I guess I could try. It's not like anything I've ever seen before though. Even Eggman doesn't have stuff like this. It'll take a while but I should be able to patch it up," he pulled a horseshoe shaped device down on a long arm, positioning it over the horse.
"So what happened anyway?"

[Jamie Lee]

"Umm..." Scythe caught himself trying to scratch his head, then quickly put his arm back to his side. "I met him in the Aquatic Ruins. He was flying along and kinda didn't... see the tree branch in his way... He was in pretty bad shape so I offered to fly him here. Then I kinda... accidentally sliced the wing off his gizmo thingie..." he grinned sheepishly. "Then he kinda almost fell off a cliff and rammed into that Metal Sonic machine. I think he might have a con..concu..con-cusion... or something."

[Sora]

"Well...." Sonic said looking at Scythe. "I think it was an accident. He may be able to explain it better."

[Wez]

"Um ... I guess we better call a real doctor. I can probably fix the wing, but I don't know the first thing about concussion." Tails went to the phone and dialled for an ambulance.

[Sora]

Sonic: "Good call. I'll rush him to the hostpital myself if it would be faster!"

[Wez]

"Yeah, I'll tell them you're bringing him in. Fast as you can. I'll start working on the wings and see if there's anything I do."

[Jamie Lee]

"That would be a relief if you could... My wings are sore."

[Wez]

Tails regarded the mantis for a while, then blinked.
"Who are you again?"

[Sora]

With that, Sonic carefully picked up the little horse and darted off to the Station Square hostpital. "Ill be back later!!" he yelled. "Call me if you need me!!"

[Jamie Lee]

His eyes brightened ever so slightly. "Oh. My name's Scythe. I have no idea who the unicorn was," he stopped himself from lifting an arm again. "We never had the chance to get acquainted. You're Tails?" he regarded the two bushy appendages waving behind the kit.

[Wez]

Tails gathered one of his tails before him and tufted the hairs on the end of it, so he could look at that rather than the stranger.
"Y-yeah, I'm Tails. It's nice to meet you." He let go of his tail and held his hand out, smiling shyly.
