The secret service by Herofox (It's the day after Storm freed himself of the control bug. Our six heroes have come to a city infested with the things.) Tails: So this is the place? Storm: Yep. Every single person in this town is under the control of Sally. There is also a tactical base here. Flash: How 'bout you guys take out the base while me and Bubble do some shopping? Tails: Shopping!? Bubble: It's just a fancy way of saying looting. Tails: I guess you two could do that, then we could do some looting ourselves. (Saber and Hound cause a diversion downtown. Bubble and Flash start looting the stores. Tails and Storm blow up the base. After the mechas are gone the boys start "shopping" themselves.) Saber: Ok we need some stuff for the hideout. Like a T.V. Flash: We could also use a couple of soft beds. (Later. On the way home.) Tails: How could you drop the T.V.? Hound: It was pretty hard not to since you were running over me. But at least I kept hold of the rubber duck. Tails: Rubber duck? Hound: Yeah. It came free with the TV. Tails: Hound we were looting! Everything was free! Why couldn't you get a free T.V with the T.V? Hound: Cause it would sink in the bathtub. (Tails looks at hound with a blank expression.) Tails: I don't know how he got that answer and I don t want to. (They head off back home with goods in hand. They come to a bridge, which is the only way to the floating islands, but there is a skunk in the way.) Hound: How the heck are we going to get past that? Storm: I have an idea. (Storm creeps up on the skunk and ends up getting sprayed.) Tails: Oh great plan Storm, what will you do for an encore? Throw yourself into the land of nothingness? Hound: I didn't know there was a land of nothing ness? (CRASH!!) Tails: Take that you moron. It was a figure of speech. Voice: G'day mate. Can I help? Tails: Who said that? (Tails looks around and see's another Skunk. But when was the last time he saw a skunk wear purple boots, a purple beret, green scarf, and talk with a bad Australian accent? Tails: Is that you? Geoffrey St John. (Tails clenches his fist ready for action as he remembered that Geoffrey was such a jerk the last time they met.) Geoff: Yep it's me. So. Watcha been doin Tails? I heard that you went to Earth. Meet anyone interesting? Tails: Why? Geoff: Take it easy, Mate, I was going to make that skunk move. ATTENTION! (Suddenly the skunk on the bridge stands to attention.) Geoff: You are relieved. Skunk: Thank you sir. (The skunk goes away, But Geoffrey takes his place.) Tails: What are you doing now? Geoff: You are unfit to command a team of such...Misfits. Storm: Who are you calling Misfits stinky? Geoff: Well let's see. There is a two-tailed freak that leads the bunch, a clone that has switched side, which just shows how trustworthy he is, and there is a dog... Hound: Puppy. Geoff: Whatever, then there is an over grown catfish, a boy crazy feline and a useless old coot that's only good at woodwork. Saber: Have you forgotten that you're older than me? Hound: Let me at him! I'm gonna kill him! Saber (grabbing Hounds arm): Grab him Storm. (Storm grabs the other arm. Hound is thrashing about.) Tails: So what are you gonna do about us, St Jerk? Geoff: I challenge you for leadership of these trainees! Tails: Don't you have your own team of flunkies? Geoff: Yes. But with them AND you six under my command, I'll be the hero who restores Princess Sally to normal and wins her hand in marriage! Tails: You couldn't even beat Hound, let alone win points with Sally! Geoff: HA! When I control you kids I'll be regarded as the most declarated commander on Mobius! (Hound has calmed down so Saber and Storm let him go.) Saber: Don't we get a say in this? Storm: Let Tails and the skunk duke it out! That monochrome rodent won't stand a chance! Geoff: Of course I will! I am the best marksman in Mobotropolis! Tails: Look, you're welcome to join us. But YOU won't lead! Geoff: It's all or nothing ya mug! (He shoots at Tails who doges the blast. He jumps at Geoff knocking him down. Tails Punches Geoff several times. He then walks away. Geoff shoots at Tails's tail with another gun.) Tails: AARRRRGGG!!! My tail! Hound (draws his scythe): That dirty rat! I'm going in! Storm (grabbing Hounds tail): Easy kid! Jumping the skunk from behind won't help. Flash: Yeah. Like it or not, it's Tails fight. Tails (draws his sword.): You've had it now! Geoff: Really? (Pulls out a light sabre style weapon. Like the one Luke Skywalker uses.) Bubble: A laser sword!? (Geoff swings at Tails several times. Tails dodges each of them. And at each turn Tails gives Geoff one blow to the guts.) Tails: Are you sure you wont give in? Geoff: I will not give up this in the name of His Majesties Secret Service! And besides I like Sally too much to give her in to you! Tails: I don't want Sally. You can have her. But you ain't going to be leading this team when you do it. And that is my final word. Geoff: Well... Tails: Shut up. Geoff: You... Tails: Shut up. Geoff: See... Tails: Shut up. Geoff: I... Tails: Shut up. Geoff: Hate... Tails: Shut up. Geoff: YOU!! Tails: Shut up now before I knock your lights out. Geoff: I'd like to see you try. Tails: Fine. You asked for it. See how you handle a flying fox foot! (Tails lunges at Geoffrey with a flying kick. Geoff prepared to block the kick when all of a sudden... CRASH!!!) Tails: I ment FIST! Geoff: I'll get ...you...Tails. Tails: And that's the end of that mess. (Geoff lay on the ground with a daze in his eyes and Tails and the others laugh at him as they pass. About an hour later...) Geoff: Oooooohhhh...what the muggery happened? Where did everyone go? (Geoff realized that Tails and co were long gone and he had been made a fool of...again.) Geoff: When I find you Tails I will crush you down so hard your body will feel like it's back in the Jurassic! (Three and a half figures walk towards him. It's his group, the secret service. Hershey the cat, Wombat Stu, Heavy, and Bomb. T.T.W. Heavy and Bomb are robots. If you haven't read the comics, Heavy looks like a large cylinder with arms, legs, a face, and a green beret. Bomb looks like a red cartoon bomb with eyes and feet.) Stu: Are you ok boss? Geoff: I'm fine. What in the name of a wombat are you lot doin here? Stu: You don't think we'd let you go through this alone did you? Geoff: Heavy and bomb, I have a small surveillance job for you. H & B: Yes boss? Geoff: I need you to follow those no good Freedom Senshi and find out where their base is. H & B: Why? Geoff: AS LEADER OF THIS OPERATION, HAVE I EVER IN MY LIFE, EVER HAD TO EXPLAIN MY PLANS TO YOU????? H & B: No boss. Geoff: AND MAKE SURE I DON'T HAVE TO AGAIN. (Meanwhile...) Tails: Hey Hound, run on ahead and tell Mina to get some grub on. We're staring. Hound: Ok. But she isn't going to like this. Tails: I don't care. (His comm system starts to bleep.) Knux: Tails. Keep an eye out. Nut ball St-Jerk has sent some one to follow you. Make sure you give them the run around and make sure that they don't find the base. Tails: So that idiots woken up has he. Well if we see anyone of his men, we'll take em on a 60-mile flight/jog/run. Knux: Tails, I just got word. Its Heavy and Bomb. So be careful. Tails: Got it. (He closes comm's.) Hmmm? (He fires some rockets into a bush. Heavy and Bomb roll out with X in their eyes.) Bubble: So what should we do with them? Saber: I have a pretty good idea. (Draws his sword.) (Later.) Geoff: Failed again huh? Heavy: Yes...boss. (The camera zooms out to show that Heavy has been turned into a trashcan. Tails and friends have put the packaging from their "shopping" inside along with Heavy's arms and legs.) Geoff: Hey where's Bomb? (Meanwhile.) Miles: Hey Patch, pass me the ball! (The six are playing soccer with Bomb as the ball.) Cassie: Don't you think we should give him back to Geoff? Sandy: Yeah, that is military property after all. Shawn (this is Storms earth name): I guess so. (All six transform. Miles and Shawn do it in a split screen. The other four do it four way split screen.) Tails: Tell Geoff we've brought his ball back. Knux: Ok. By the way, there's someone special waiting in the next room for you. Tails: Ok. The rest of you wait here. All: Right! (Tails enters the room and almost faints when he sees who it is. Sallies father, King Acorn of Mobotropolis.) Tails (gets on bended knee): It's an honour to meet you sire! King: The feeling is mutual Prower. Tails: But to what do I owe this honour your Majesty? King: My renegade daughter. I herd that you had returned to Mobius so decided to pay you a personal visit if you were worthy. Tails: So am I worthy? (Flash backs to some of Tails early battles.) King: At first I thought you were just another mobian with a fancy dress sense. But after viewing footage of all that you've accomplished since your return I can safely say that you are truly worthy of leadership of the new freedom fighters. Tails: Thank you your highness. King: The other thing I wanted to talk to you about is strategies. Tomorrow we will have a quick briefing on the badniks then it's business as usual for you. Tails: May I ask about Geoffrey's team? King: I decided to keep the secret service active since the old freedom fighters broke up. Tails: Is there anything you can tell me about the secret service? King: If I did then they wouldn't be a secret would they? Tails thoughts: How can I argue with logic like that? What does King Acorn have to say? What is Sally's next sinister plot? Find out next time!
