Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Megamorph ❯ A secret no more. ( Chapter 3 )

Back at Vanilla's house, things were coming to a close.  "Well, that's the story." said Marine.
"Quite the story you told there." said Vanilla.
Cream wasn't so happy.  Now I have competition.... great. She thought.
"Well, I'm gonna turn in for the night." said Vanilla.  "Feel free to camp out in the living room." and Vanilla went to her room.

 

Marine seemed to have moved almost in an instant to the living room, where she pulled out a tent bag, causing the other two to fall over comically.
"I don't think she meant literally set up camp, Marine..." Blaze said, with a sweatdrop on her head.

"But it's more fun this way." said Marine.  "C'mon, live a little, it'll be bonzor wicked." and Marine sets up a second tent bag.  "This one will work good for ya."

"Sometimes I don't know why I bother." Blaze sighed.
"Somehow, I agree." Cream added. "Well, I'm going to my room, whatever you do Marine, don't set up a camp fire in my living room." She asked. Marine was holding two logs of wood.
"Spoil sport." She replied. "Fine, I'll use the fireplace..." pouted Marine.  "Sleep well, luv."

Love..? I'll never get used to that. Cream thought as she made her exit. Blaze then took a lie down on the sofa.

The next day, Cream woke and stretched, only to be scared half to death to the point she fell out of bed and conked her head on the cabinet to a loud bang from the kitchen. She quickly ran out of the room to find out what was going on, only to see Marine holding a pan with a black pancake in her face in the kitchen.
"Smmmhhhpphh smhhpphh mmhhhm wommm." She said, muffled by the pancake.
"What are you doing in here? You scared me half to death!" Cream yelled.

"I was trying to make flapjacks." Marine answered. "Don't you like flapjacks?"

"I love flapjacks." Cream said. "And I also love having a kitchen intact, let me do it..." Cream said as she took over in the kitchen.

 

After serving up a fatality-free breakfast, the three sat around the table to eat. Vanilla had made her way out of her room by this point.
"Good morning girls."
"Mom, how did you not hear the nuke in the kitchen too?"
"Good old ear plugs, stopped the noise of the screaming cat." Vanilla said cheerily.
"Yeah, next time Marine, can you please not sing around the 'campfire'?" Blaze asked.

 

"Pass me a flapjack, luv." said Marine.  "You know, we should all go visit Tails today.  He'll probably flip when he sees all of us."

"Why's that?" Blaze asked. Cream passed over a flapjack, as 'ordered'.

"Well, I doubt he'll be prepared to see all of us." said Marine.

"I agree." Cream said. "Therefore, I should see him first."

"You? He always sees you, I should get first dibbs."

"I knew him first." Cream countered.
"Yeah, but I bet you've never had a close up on his nadgers." Marine countered back, before sipping a glass of OJ.
"Excuse me?"
"His meat an' two veg, the mouse in the house, trouser snake, his package. You decide, I've got more." Marine explained.
"I...wha..." Cream stuttered, blushing a little.
"Since when have you gotten that close to Tails?" Blaze asked.
"They were a little out in the open when he was workin' on one of my ships." Marine told.

"I...I'll have you know me and Tails are very close. Only a few more days and we would have taken each other's virginity, if this accident didn't happen." Cream blushed furiously.
"Oh, so you're advancing a little from last time, Cream?" Vanilla questioned.
"I got a reaction." Cream replied.
"That's good."
"Yeah, but a reaction is hardly the borderline of cherry poppin'." Marine stated. "I can make that boy sweat, I tell ya. If any of us'll take his virginity, it'll be me."

 

"Enough!" Blaze yells, hands are fireballs.  "We're all going to visit Tails and no one mentions how much they wanna get laid by Tails.  Or so help me, I'll fry your lower lips!"

"Strewth mate, tingy bit jealous, are we? Didn' know you wanted a piece of Tails mojo too." Marine said, slightly frightened by Blaze's outburst. Cream however was typically on the verge of shitting herself.

I have to admit, Blaze really knows effective conflict resolution. thought Vanilla as she sweat-dropped.  "I better go too, just to send my best wishes." said Vanilla.  "Blaze, make sure the girls don't go sexually ballistic while I go and get my purse."

"Will do." Blaze replied with visible flames in her eyes, which scare the other two girls into complete utter paralyses.

 

After some sort of calm, the four ladies went to the hospital to see Tails.  When they got to the hospital, the four saw Amy with hammer in hand while dosing on and off of sleep.  "Amy, are you..." Vanilla started.

Amy shot up ready to swing.  "Get away from Tails!" she yelled.

When the hammer came down, it only slammed into hospital floor.  "You really haven't been getting much sleep, have you?" asked Cream.
Amy regained her senses.  "Sorry, it's been a tough couple of days." Amy said.  "B... Blaze, is that you?"
"Yes, and I brought Marine with me." Blaze answered.
"Mornin' to you too, luv." Marine greeted.
"Marine, this is Amy."
"Sonic has told me about you, luv." said Marine.
"Really?"
"He said you were bonzor scary."

Marine then looked back and forth, everyone had ducked behind something. "What? What's going o-..." It was at this point a large shadow covered the unexpecting Raccoon. She looked at Amy, and Amy appeared as the devil himself.
"He said what?!" Amy boomed, Marine then began to panic.
"H-h-h-h-h-h-he.. he.. he..said you were lovely and that he'd do anything to protect you." Marine said in fear, it was at this point that the atmosphere returned to normal.
"Oh Sonic, I knew you loved me inside." and thus Amy went into love-world. Cream, Vanilla and Blaze walked over.
"Nice save, a tip for you though. When it comes to what Sonic says about Amy...don't be honest in front of her." Cream told Marine.

 

"Morning ladies, I see you've been well." said Dr. Quack.  "And who are you?"
"I'm Marine." Marine answered.
"I see."
"Is Tails awake?"

"Yes, and I believe he can use some company.  And Miss Rose, you can go on and head home."
"But I..." Amy said.
"Trust me; I don't need you here with a temper like that."
"Okay, I'm going home." and off Amy went.
Doctor Quack showed Vanilla, Blaze, Cream and Marine to Tails' room.

 

Inside the room, Tails was lying under her covers looking at her nails slightly, she bit one of them to even it out, not bothering to look who just walked in, expecting it to just be the doctor or Amy.

"Tails, you don't have to hide, it's only a bit of company." said Dr. Quack.
Hearing the doctor's voice, Tails reveals herself from the covers to see his visitors.  Oh great.... she thought.
"Tails, you look like you really have changed." said Marine.  "I did a bit of changin' myself, mate."
"That's great." Tails said.  "And Blaze and Vanilla are here too."
"I'll leave you girls to have your chat with Tails.  There are other things I need to look into." said Dr. Quack as he left the room.  Blaze is a strong girl, she can handle a certain bad doctor if the need arises. He thought.

"Are you okay, Tails?" Cream asked worried as she walked over. "You're not hurt are you? What happened?"

"I heard it was serious." Blaze added.
"I do hope it's nothing that serious." Vanilla commented. "I hope you're not in this hospital for too long. I know what it's like to be crammed in these dull rooms for days."

 

"Let's just say things could've been better for me." said Tails.
"Crikey, I can tell you've been dosed up too much." said Marine.  "Your voice sounds like they've been givin' you the 'happy drug' a bit."
"No, just morphine." Tails cleared up.  "What brings you here, Blaze, other than seeing me?"

"Bits and pieces that are of no real concern at the moment." Blaze replied.
"So, what exactly happened?" Cream questioned again, persistent.
"Now, now, Cream. I'm sure Tails will tell us in his own good time." Vanilla told her daughter. "Let's let him recover first, shall we?"
"Yeah...I guess. I'm worried though." Cream replied.

 

Tails looked over to the side.  "Hey, lock the door." the fox said.
Marine walks over to the door and locks it.  "Okay mate, we're all good." she said.
"I will tell you all what's up, but just promise that you won't hate me." said Tails.
"Hate you?  You'll always be part of me crew... even if you're dying." said Marine cheerfully.

Blaze looked at Marine. "Let's hope that Tails dying is not the case." She said.

"I'd never hate you, Tails." Cream replied.
"Yeah, not anything that happened is your fault." Blaze added.
"And you sacrificed yourself to save Cream, what reason would make us hate you?" Vanilla asked.

"Okay, here's the deal..." Tails began, then took a breath.  "The truth is... My dick and balls were synthetic materials.  I'm actually a girl... and I was born that way."

And silence struck the room. None of the girls could believe what they just heard.
"Okay...that's not funny, Tails." Blaze said.

"You're really a girl... but you don't have tits." said Marine.
"Some of us develop at different rates." Cream backed away from Tails slightly. She was clearly in denial.
"No...you're lying..." She said.

"This is a real shocker.... but I'll play along, mate." said Marine, then flipped the cover up.
"What are you doing?"
"Spread 'em and show me the money." and Marine managed to lift up Tails' medical gown and all four of the girls saw Tails' lower vertical line.  "Whoa..."
Blaze fainted and Vanilla left the room, after unlocking it again.

Cream turned away and gripped her head. "This isn't true, this isn't true, this isn't true." She repeated in denial. "I'm gonna wake up, I'm gonna wake up." She chanted to herself.

"I can't believe this." said Marine.  "You're a girl like me."
"I told you." said Tails.
"Relax mate, I have a newfound respect for you."

 

Cream ran out the door and slammed it shut and headed straight for the open elevator, getting inside it and mashing the buttons. She didn't care where it took her, she just wanted out. Back in the room, Blaze was just coming around from collapsing.

"Great, Cream and Vanilla bolted on me." said Tails.
"Let them run, mate... er, luv." said Marine.  "That scared the bejeezus out of them."
Tails wasn't happy.  "And you're going to bring them back here."
"Me... but what if they-"
"Go and get them!" Tails yelled.
"Orrioght, I'm going..." and off Marine went to pursue Cream and Vanilla.

 

With Marine gone, Blaze took a seat and rubbed her head.
"Nothing in my life has made me pass out before, but this..." She uttered.

"Thanks, Blaze.  I really needed this." said Tails.
"Actually, you need a little more than what is going on." and in walks Dr. Quack.  "I figure that it's best you get out of the hospital."

"Does this mean my services are needed?" Blaze asked.

"Yes.  Either way, you're out of here today." and Dr. Quack stretched.  "Keeping you here won't do you any good."
"We can't go yet.  Marine went to grab Cream and Vanilla." said Blaze.
"No exceptions.  You're getting the boot and you Blaze will be taking Tails out of here."
"Well, at least I get to leave." said Tails.
"Yes, but make sure to take care of yourself." said Dr. Quack.  "And remember that you are limited to one meter of walking and flying radius."

 

So Blaze stood, grabbed the wheelchair and walked it to the side of the bed, where Tails got out of the bed and carefully into it. "Tell Marine we're outside then please." Blaze asked the doctor.
"Oh, is there any time I should come back?" Tails asked.
"Hm? What for Tails?" Blaze questioned her.
"Just to check up." Tails replied, covering the 2nd half of the truth.

"I'll call you." Dr. Quack answered

 

"Okay." Tails replied, before being carted out of the room. "He seemed awfully keen to get rid of me..." Tails said to Blaze.

"Let's get you somewhere safe." said Blaze.

Dr. Quack watched Blaze and Tails go.  If Eggman does decide to attack and come after Tails here, she won't be safe. he thought.  Also, if there is someone else besides Sonic or Shadow that can hold their own against Eggman, it's Blaze. Well, at least she won't be a sitting duck in a hospital.

 

Meanwhile, Marine had caught Cream on the roof. She saw Blaze leaving the building with Tails from the top, then walked over to Cream.

"Look at that, Blaze and Tails are leaving." said Marine.  "Come on luv, shake your knickers."

"I don't care..." Cream said sadly. "Leave me alone..."

"Well aren't you grateful....  Tails goes to the hospital for you, pours his... er, her heart out to you and now you're like this?  Some feeling you have for Tails...." and Marine heads for the door.  "When you're done being selfish, let a girl know.  I when I say 'let a girl know', I'm not talking about myself.  What a drongo!"

Cream turns her head to Marine, then leaps off the building. As she lowers the ground, she flaps her ears violently to reduce speed and hover slightly before letting her feet touch the ground. She walks over to the bench and takes a seat.
"Am I....really being selfish? When the man I love turns out to be a woman?" She asked herself. It was at this point when Vanilla sat next to her daughter.

"Believe me, this is hard to stomach myself." said Vanilla.  "But this isn't about us, it's about supporting Tails.  Besides, who knows what she went through by the hands of that horrible doctor."

"I know...It could've been me." Cream said. Then she put on a strong face. "Okay. I'm gonna help Tails, even if Tails isn't a boy, he-...she...is still my friend."

"Yes, but you'll need another approach first."

"How so?"

"Things have changed and I can sense a part of you is still upset over what we just found out.  I know I'm still a little mad knowing that Tails is a girl.  I almost had my daughter lose it to another girl..." she giggled. Cream fell out of the seat comically.

She stood up again. "Mom! Don't say such things in public!" She cried out, but not too loud.

"It's only a joke, honey... unless you still want to go for tuna tacos."

 

Cream fell over comically again, this time deciding to stay put.

Marine walks by.  "Tuck your legs, luv. Gawkers can see your knickers." she said.  "And I think I can get me some like that."
"Don't make fun." said Vanilla.

Cream leaped up. "I'm sorry I was so rude, Marine." Cream said, bowing to her.

"Now now, luv, relax.  I'm sure you just need a good spa."

"Maybe." Cream said.

Meanwhile, Blaze and Tails were sat on a bench near the building.
"What do I do now?" Tails questioned. "Everything's so messed up." She rubbed her stomach a little.
"Hungry?" Blaze asked.
"Um...yeah, I guess." Tails said, making an excuse.

 

Blaze looked around and saw a Cafe. She then back flipped over the back of the bench and pushed Tails wheelchair towards it. As she entered, Tails noticed Tikal and Knuckles were here, Shadow too, but he was sat in the corner with a coffee or something, reading the daily paper. Knuckles and Tikal failed to notice the two walked in also.

Well, looks like Knuckles gets out after all. Tails thought as she saw the two echidnas that appeared to be socializing.

 

After getting some goods to go, Shadow walked over to Tails and ruffled her hair.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, finally been released." Tails told him.
"That's good, that place sucked." Shadow commented, making Tails laugh. The familiar voices got the attention of Knuckles and Tikal, who then called them all over. Tails was pushed over, but Shadow headed to leave.
"Shadow, where're you going?" Tails asked.
"I don't fit in with your crowd." He said.
"Get over here now and commune like a civilised person." Tails ordered with narrowed eyes.
"Nice try, but no." Shadow said, before leaving.

"It figures, you don't change off of the Extreme Gear, do you?" and up walks Blaze.  "I know what it's like being a loner, but seriously... mellow out for a change."

"Humph." Shadow huffed, ignoring Blazes comment, continuing on.

Blaze shook her head.  "So, are you going to introduce me, Knuckles?" she asked.

"Tikal, this is Blaze, Blaze, this is Tikal." Knuckles introduced plainly, before drinking his drink. Tails narrowed her eyes.
"Blunt as ever, ey knucklehead?" She asked. This made Knuckles choke on his drink, and it came out his nose. The girls simply backed away slightly as he recovered.

The girls laughed.  "Charmed." said Tikal.
"Agreed." said Blaze.  "And that's some pretty nice jewellery."
"What can I say, I know fashion."
"Maybe you can get some of that sense too, Blaze." joked Tails.

"What do you mean by that?" Blaze questioned.

"Let's say you need to expand your wardrobe." said Tails.  “Even I put on pants every now and again."
"When you start wearing panties, then we'll talk." said Blaze.
"You probably aren't wearing those either."

"Anyway, how are you Tails? Knuckles was just saying you were in the hospital." Tikal asked Tails.
"I'm struggling with issues far beyond my maturity levels." Tails replied.
"Huh?" Tikal questioned.
"It's nothing to concern about, I'm okay."

"Well, let's grab a bite to eat." said Blaze.

 

So, Tails pulled up to the table and the food was placed on the table as Blaze took a seat. The 4 began talking about general chit chat.

"So, what has been going on as of late?" asked Tikal.  "All I heard was you were in the hospital and now you're out?"

"Well, Cream was trying to pull me before Eggman dropped in." Tails said.

“She was trying to get you off?" Knuckles questioned. "Looks like you're in the game!"
"Not that kind of pulling, you idiot. She was giving suggestive ideas." Tails replied.
"Such as?" Tikal asked.
"Sharing a shower, sleeping together. That sort of thing."

"Well, She certainly has become bold as of late." said Tikal.
"This coming from Cream is interesting." said Blaze, acting like it wasn't really happening.  "But then again, she does like you.  So what else happened?"

"Eggman came to pick her up in some pod, took me instead as I saved Cream." Tails said. "I was then knocked unconscious and I don't wanna tell you the rest. Damn electric volts...painful." Tails explained.
"I see, so that's why you were in hospital." Knuckles nodded slightly.
"Uhh...yeah, electricity can kill and all if your body takes too much or takes it the wrong way." Tails replied.

"That's worse than how my father would torture people." said Tikal.

Tails rubbed her head a little. "Can we...please talk about something else now?" She asked. "Having gone through hell and still there, I'd like to generally just forget for now."

"Well, I would like to say that I'm working on a new lingerie line." said Tikal.  "I may need a few helpers to model for me.  Why not try it out, Blaze."
For the first time in her life, Blaze's face turned red as a beet.  "You want me to do what?!" she shouted.  "I can't model like that, it's in-dignifying."
"Come on, I bet you look sexy in some lace."
"No way, get Amy or Rouge to do it." Knuckles was trying to keep from laughing, as Tails was simply looking between the two.

 

After a good 5 minutes of chat, the crew had finished their food and had left the cafe. The group was about to split up and head their own ways.
"Well, I hope you recover soon Tails, the sight of you in a wheelchair is not a pleasing one." Tikal said. "And Blaze, the offer remains open." Blaze blushed again.
"I think the answer remains also." Blaze replied. And the four parted ways.

"Why not Blaze, you're figure is beautiful. You should be proud to model clothes." Tails said.
"Do you know what Lingerie is?" Blaze asked.
"Of course, I've tried my fare share." Tails replied. Blaze fell over.
"Since when?!" She questioned.
"Come on, you think that just because I've pretended to be a boy my whole life that I don't do girly things in my own time?"

"Fare enough...What're your sizes anyway?" Blaze questioned.

"I'd... rather not discuss that." Tails answered.

"Now look who shied up, hm?" Blaze teased.

"Well, you're older than I am.  I can't model for Tikal, its unethical..."

"I guess." Blaze replied. "So, what would you like to do, or where would you like to go? Since it appears I've been placed to supervise you."

"Let's go to Club Rouge.  I'll tell you which way to go." Tails said with a smile.

"Sure. Any reason in particular?" Blaze asked.

"I think Rouge needs to know how I am doing."

"Okay, sure." Blaze said. And off the two went to Club Rouge.

 

~@~

 

Shadow walked calmly out of the town toward the beach. He noticed a certain blue hedgehog sat in the sands near the water and decided to go over.
"You never cease to surprise me blue hedgehog." Shadow said.
"I haven't heard you say that since the Ark saga." Sonic replied.
"I don't remember ever seeing you sit so casually next to water before, considering you're little fear of it."

"And I haven't seen you care about someone since that incident with Omega." said Sonic. “Now we can both rant about how each of us seem out of character, or we can think of a plan."

"Such as?" Shadow questioned, taking a seat next to Sonic.

"You said it yourself; we need to keep tabs on Tails in case Eggman goes after her."

"I'm only doing what you seem incapable of doing. But I'll let you off easy, since I know finding out your bro is a sis and what the girls said is probably taking effect on you." Shadow replied.

"That's a lot to absorb finding out that Tails is a girl.  But I'm more concerned about what is really going on with things."

"Yeah, Eggman must have done what he did with some incentive. He's not the type of person to do such actions just to beat his meat." Shadow agreed.

"And knowing that Tails was raped by a machine doesn't make my nerves any calmer."

"Mmhmm. I don't know what's going on either. But I'll keep an eye on Tails when you're incapable of doing so, so take your time trying to get through this. But get over it quick, I don't want to have to play babysitter forever." Shadow said.

"Think of Tails like she were Maria reincarnated." Sonic stood up to face Shadow.  "Tails will need all of our help now, especially since we have no clue on what's going on."

Shadow also stood. "I understand how Tails needs us right now. But don't bring Maria into this." He warned Sonic. "No one can ever replace Maria."

"Tch, 'No one can ever replace Maria.'  And you want me to get over it." Sonic just shrugged.  "Look, arguing doesn't help us, so let's go look for leads.  I'll go start by visiting Tails at the hospital and you try to find Amy and figure out what really went on with Tails.  And in the process, fill everyone in on a plan.

 

"We'll meet up at Rouge's Club and explain the situation then when we have a better insight on what exactly is going on."

"By everyone, I assume you mean those who know the truth." Shadow said.

"Yeah, just the usual group with the intention to stomp a mudhole in Eggman for wronging Tails." and off Sonic ran.

"Hm, well, that's fine by me Sonic." Shadow said to himself. He lifted his chaos emerald to warp, until he saw it was glowing. "Hm...There must be another chaos emerald nearby. Whilst I am here, I might as well pick it up." And with that, Shadow wondered off on an emerald hunt.

Meanwhile, back at Club Rouge. Blaze and Tails were escorted to Rouges private room where she manages the business. Rouge however had a few noisy punters she needed to give a good kick in the ass. The girls however made themselves comfortable until Rouge came back in.
"Busy day, huh, Rouge?" Tails questioned.

"Tell me about it." Rouge answered. "With what happened with you and running my club, I've dealt with a lot mentally."

"At least Tikal doesn't want you to model in her lingerie like she wants me to do." said Blaze.

Now Rouge was interested. "That's a shame, why wouldn't she want to use my perfect figure?" She pouted.
"Perhaps she worries the size of your bust will break it." Tails said.
"At least I have a bust, missy." Then Rouge covered her mouth, thinking she'd spilt the beans to Blaze. "I didn't just..."
"Don't worry; she was informed earlier with Cream, Marine and Vanilla, two of which are not so happy with me about." Tails sighed.

"Come on, it can't be that bad." said Rouge.
"I fainted from finding out." said an embarrassed Blaze.  "Not one of my best moments either, and when I can around, Cream and Vanilla were gone and Tails had Marine go after them."

"Haven't seen any of them since." Tails finished.

"Well, what did Marine say about you being a girl?"

"That she had a new found respect for me or something." Tails replied.

"Well, give Marine time to coax Cream and Vanilla into accepting your feminine life.  I'm sure they just really need to clear things up.

 

"It'll all turn out, just wait and see."

"Well, it might sound harsh. But Cream and Vanilla aren't my main concern at the moment." Tails admitted.

"Getting some back pay on Eggman is more important to me as well."

"That wasn't what I meant, but I can go with that." Tails said.

"Then what do you mean?" asked Blaze.
"Yeah.  Is there something else we should know about you?" added Rouge.

"I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to come to terms with it myself before I tell anyone else..." Tails replied.

Blaze was confused.  "Well, I guess you just have to build up your strength from everything." said Rouge.  "No worries, you can always relax at my club."

"Thanks." Tails said.

"Anytime, foxy."

 

It was at this time Tails was going back into her harsh realisation of what was truly happening to her, but she fought back her own tears as best she could.

 

Rouge had to go back to check on her punters, during her check over, she found Amy, who'd come in.

"Hey, Rouge, how are you?" Amy asked.

"Other than tired, dealing with knuckleheads." Rouge answered.  "How are you holding up from your rough night?"

"I'm still being haunted..." Amy honestly replied.

"Same here, and so is Tails."

"Every time I close my eyes all I see is Tails and that..." Amy then stopped, not wanting to let out what happened to the whole club.

"Grab your hammer and help me check on things."

"You want me to take care of punters?" Amy asked.

"Fine, don't help.  Of all the times Knuckles isn't around..."

 

Amy took up her hammer and got onto the bar and looked at the rowdy punters. "Okay, all of you shut the hell up, or I'll shut you up! Got it?!" Amy threatened the whole place.
"What're you gonna do about it girly? You're smaller than everyone in the whole bar." A punter responded.
"Nice panties, do they come in red too?!" Another commented. It was at this point the both of them felt pains they never thought imaginable. However, this didn't stop others from being rowdy, in fact, it started a small bar fight.
"Chaos...Control!" With a flashing light, many of the bar fighting punters were punted and Shadow stood in the middle of the lot.
"Now does anyone else want to fight in this bar?" He asked with a harsh tone. The punters here were regulars and knew not to mess with Shadow, so they hushed up, those who were conscious that is.

"Sorry Rouge. I didn't mean to start a bar fight." Amy said as she rubbed her bruising cheek.

"Um... yeah...." said Rouge.
Blaze walks out to see the collateral damage.  "Well, I missed out, but at least things are all right." she said, then Tails wheeled into sight.

"Oh, Tails. You're here too." Amy said, somewhat surprised. "I thought you were at the hospital still, why are you here?"
"I got released." Tails replied. "What happened in here, we came because we heard a commotion."

"The usual rowdy behaviour that comes standard with clubs." Rouge answered.

"I see." Tails said. "Well, anyway, I think I should go home now. I need to make sure my place is still okay."

"Are you sure it's wise for that?  I mean Eggman sort of caught you there..." Blaze noted.
"If that's the case, you can stay over at my place.  No one would dare try to come for me there." offered Rouge.

"If Eggman truly is after me, there's no place he won't strike." Tails commented.

"Somehow, I feel like that's my line." and everyone turned to see Sonic and Knuckles.  "By the way, why wasn't I invited to the 'ass-kicker' party?"

"Guess for once you were just too slow, blue hedgehog." Shadow shrugged.

"Too slow and didn't know are two different things." Sonic explained.
"Okay people, it's closing time." said Rouge.  "You don't have to go home, but you have to get the hell out of here."
"You heard her." said Blaze.  "And trust me, you don't wanna get on my bad side." and Blaze's hands turned into flames once again.

The action scared everyone out of the club.  "Man, when did she learn how to do that?" asked Knuckles.
"It's been too long since the EX Grand Prix." said Sonic.
"Pyrokinesis is a gift and a curse sometimes." explained Blaze.
"Hoo wee, looks like you could use a fixer upper.  I guess it's a good thing we came along." and everyone turns to see Marine, Cream and Vanilla.

"Hurray, now everyone is here." Tails uttered sarcastically.

Well, I better get started with this stuff." said Rouge.
"I might as well help you out." said Knuckles.
"Grab a chair and tables people, this'll be a while." said Sonic.

 

Everyone had finished cleaning up the bar with Rouge and even Tikal had shown up and helped out. Afterwards, everyone had relocated into the private bar in the back and taken a seat.
"Since we're all here, everyone's heard of the incident with Dr Egghead, I'm sure." Sonic started. "We all need a serious talk."
"About what?" Knuckles asked.
"About..." Sonic then looked over to Tails. "About Tails." He said.

 

Tails then looked around the room. "At this point, the only ones who don't really know are Knuckles and Tikal." She said.

"Know what?" Tikal questioned.
"Well, it's not really worth keeping a secret since everyone else knows. But in reality, I'm a girl and always have been." Tails told them. Of course the looks on their faces were to be expected.
"Strewth Mate, did we all look like that when you told us?" Marine asked.
"Yes Marine, yes you did." Tails answered.

 

"So, why does this come out now, of all times?" Tikal asked.
"The other day, Eggman kidnapped Amy from the town and me from the beach after I foolishly fell for a ploy of his." Rouge explained, shame in her voice at her admittance to her folly. "When I came to, both myself and Amy were hanging from the roof wearing...nothing but a strip of plastic across our breasts..." Amy looked away from the crew almost in shame.
"What the hell? Since when did old Eggy become a perve!" Knuckles roared.
"I'm sure he wanted all you girls, as his next target was Cream. However, I got in the way and protected her, getting captured myself." Tails continued the tale. "He knocked me unconscious and took me to his lab too when Cream escaped."
"Cream found me and Shadow preparing for another race and told us what had happened, so we ran as fast as we could in the direction she saw Eggman fly off to. Good thing Cream was observant, but we still had a bit of trouble finding the place." Sonic said.

 

When me and Rouge came to in the lab with only the strips on. Eggy told us about his new project, dubbed Chimera. We still to this point have no idea what it is." Amy explained. "However, the process of Chimera isn't something I want to explain." Amy said sadly. Tails curled up in her wheelchair.

"I'll say this much. There was some form of machine tentacle thing and it......" Rouge halted, also feeling sickened at the mere memory.
"It ripped inside of me and raped me." Tails finished for her, before burying her face in her legs and hugging them. Sonic patted her on the back. The silence around the room and on two rabbits in particular was unbearable.

"Crikey, so that's why you weren't so keen on me exposing you at the hospital." said Marine, who still felt bad after what she had done.  "You probably don't wanna forgive me in the back of your mind."

"I forgive you, I don't hold grudges." Tails replied, her voice slightly muffled but understandable.
"Tails...I'm so sorry I ran out of the room like I did, I shouldn't have been concerning about my own feelings when I should have realised what was happening to you." Cream apologised as she cried a little. Tails uncurled herself and sat properly.
"Don't worry, you didn't know, so it's okay." Tails said to reassure her.
"So, this was all just something for Eggman's sick perverted entertainment?" Blaze questioned angrily.
"No...he actually pumped me with....some kind of purple gunk..." Tails admitted, “at this time, I was too weak to keep conscious, so the rest of the story is everyone else's. I don't know any more than this."

"Before all this happened, Eggman said something about 'what you'll become' to me before Tails showed up and while Rouge was still out." Amy added.  "However, he didn't say.  Then I found out that there was a captured prisoner... which ended up being Tails."

"This is all so much...too much to comprehend. I mean...what in the world..." Vanilla couldn't believe what she was hearing. Then again, not many others who didn't know could either.

"Raped by a machine... you must feel like you were maimed inside." said Tikal.

"Hence the wheelchair. My hips are like sitting on giant needles right now. The slightest real pressure in my legs hurts really badly." Tails replied. "And it was confirmed there are scratches and cuts all on my insides so...in a sense, yes I was maimed inside."

"Being scratched inside... that must feel worse than a vaginal scraping." said Vanilla.
"Or pulling out that Crossbow." said Tikal.
"What's a crossbow?" asked Marine.
"It's a type of female contraceptive... like the 'shield'.  But you put it inside and it opens up like a bow, then scrapes out seeds from your inner lining and-"
"TMI... damn." Rouge cut off.  "Let's try not to make things sound too painful for Tails, she doesn't need that right now."

"You don't want to know the pain I felt...I don't want to even remember it." Tails said, her ears lowering in her sadness.

"Anyway, enough of this topic." Sonic said. "Since Tails was the...first and only victim, as me and Shadow arrived to save the other two...I only regret that for once I simply was just too slow to save Tails." Sonic said regretfully. "Well, it's clear Tails will no doubt be targeted by Eggman, who'll probably want to finish his sick little project, so Tails will need 24/7 watch. I was hoping everyone could help with this." Sonic looked around, expectantly.

"I feel like such a weakling and a burden right now..." Tails sighed.

"I'm in." Blaze answered.

 

After a unanimous agreement that everyone would help. It was gradually decided that Tails would get a time plan on who will look after her at which given time.
"She's welcome to come and stay with Cream and I at our place." Vanilla said.
"You're not going to try and get them to get it on are you?" Amy narrowed her eyes.
"What are you insinuating?" Vanilla asked.

"Nothing, just a joke." Amy replied.
"Anyway, I'm not sure Creams place is a safe place to be." Shadow said. "Could come to my place."
"She's not living on the Ark, Shadow." Sonic narrowed his eyes.
"Why not, it's safer than any place you can come up with." Shadow retorted.

 

"Shadow, You, Me and Knuckles will see if we can find Eggman's Base." Sonic said.
"I'll take first duty." Blaze says.
"Sure thing." Sonic replied.
"Does that mean Tails is coming over to our place?" Cream asked Vanilla.
"That depends on if Blaze and Marine will be staying with us as well." Vanilla replied.

"You know you people really shouldn't think of Tails as the last steak on the dinner table." said Tikal.  "We are all concerned, but let's not treat her like meat."
"I agree." said Marine.  "And besides, we need to think of a way to keep Tails in a neutral safe haven."
"Sounds good to me." said Rouge.  "And by the way, I heard you were looking for lingerie models, Tikal."

"Yes I am..." Tikal answered.  "I plan on launching my lingerie line and I need a few of the girls to flaunt off.  Of course, I'll be modelling with you so no one feels alone.  This way you don't have a reason to get out of it, Blaze."

"I thought I made it clear that I'm not interested." said Blaze.

"Lighten up, I know you have that sexy back."

 

"Can't you get anyone else to model for you? I'm really not comfortable with it." Blaze countered again. Knuckles then burst into laughing.
"Why not have all the girls model for it. That way Blaze can't complain." He laughed.

"Cream and Marine are too young." Vanilla intervened.

"I'm not wearing it." Tails also stated.

“Well, I wasn't including you anyway, Tails." Knuckles stated.
"When you said 'all girls', that by rights includes me, thank you very much." Tails countered.

"And I'm down for a little modelling.... er, just to help out." added Marine.
"You are too young." said Vanilla.
"You aren't my mum...."
"Stop it, just count me out." said Blaze.
"No way, you have to do it in my place." said Marine.
"Forget it. Now, let's focus on what we have planned."

"Let's talk more on this neutral place." Sonic said. "Where?"

"I dunno, Station Square is new to me." said Marine.  "Uncharted waters as it were...."

"I'll just stay with Cream and Vanilla for now." Tails said. "Like it was said, if Blaze and Marine are still there, Blaze is capable enough to take care of me."

"I still thi-..." Sonic was cut off.
"That and the fact I'd feel weird hanging with you boys for a little bit." Tails added.
"Why?" Sonic questioned.
"No offence, but I've just become a girl to you, so that might complicate things for a bit. Sorry, but...I'd like to stay with girls for now."

Truth of the matter is...If it came to a point where Ican't stop myself from telling them about this baby...Idon't know how the guys would respond to it and at least I'd be able to talk to Vanilla about it...Ihope. Tails thought.

"I better start with guard patrol." said Blaze.

But what Blaze didn't catch was that Marine decided to pull a prank on the cat in removing her overcoat... the end result was Blaze's chest being exposed to everyone.  Everyone was in awe.  "Um... oops?" said Marine.
Amy, Tikal and Rouge looked amongst themselves and started cheering.  "Itty bitty titties!" they shouted.
"Wow, she really isn't all that racked, huh?" asked Vanilla.
"Nope," said Rouge as she pulled out a boombox, "but this calls for 'the moment'."

Blaze squealed and covered herself up. "Knock that off!" She roared, then glared at Marine. "You're so dead, brat!" She roared at her.

"I didn't know you were topless under that." said Marine, and then the music started playing.

As the music played, Cream, Amy, Rouge, Vanilla and Tikal began to move to it.  "What song is this one?" asked Marine.
"The woman's song of Shame called Bust." Tails answered.  "I am so glad it's not me."
"I haven't heard this song in a while." said Knuckles.
and with that, Tikal, Amy and Vanilla started singing....

 

I must... I must...
I must increase my bust!
I must... I must...
I must increase my bust!
I must... I must...
I must increase my bust!

Rouge plugged in a mic and went solo.

 

I have to admit, I am upset with tits
and I've been this way since I was a kid....
