OPPOSITE EFFECTS
Copyright2005 MechaShadow

8:45AM November 10th, 2004, Mobotropolis Hospital, Mobotropolis

Almost got it....... There! The process of a de-roboticizng was
a long and grueling process, but in the end, it all turned out right.

Tails, waiting for the surgery on his father to be over, sighed a
deep sigh of relief. For the first time in eighteen years had his father been a normal fox, not some robot. This was also the first time he had seen his father in a normal way, since his father was roboticized on the very same day Tails was born.

Dr. Jackson turned around to Tails. He seemed to look as if he was a healthy twenty somthin year old. Yet, this wolf (timber wolf to be exact) was in reality about thirty five. His grayish whiteish fur was only discolored on his hand after accidentally cutting himself with a scalpel in the last operation he was working on. The only normal color on him, besides the blood soaked fur on his right hand, was his jade green eyes.

So, Miles, it looks like the surgery has gone on our side. You can step in if you want. He hasnt awoken yet, though. Jack, as everyone at the hospital called him, opened the door to the operating room. Tails slowly stepped in. The constant beep..beep..beep of the pulse monitor seemed only like the sound of an ant walking over the earth. Peering at his father, Amadeus Prower, Tails just felt some weird feeling inside, similar to that feeling he had when he over-teased a kid at school, and almost was choked to death because of that. He slowly walked toward the body laying on the operation table. To him, it was like a dream, not good dream or a bad dream, just a dream. What seemed to only be a few seconds turned into an hour. A sense of peace.....

.....To only be broken by the entering of Rosemary and Merlin Prower, Tails mom and uncle. And all they could think about at the moment was Is he ok? or Did it go well? Soon after viewing the lost Prower, as Merlin described it as, they left the room, and eventually the hospital. And that sense of peace.....
......Now disturbed by Sonic walking into the room, checking if
Tails had died or something.

Ay Tails. Whats up?

Ive never seen my father like this in all my eighteen years of
life

Thats your dad? Havent seen him in forever!

What do you mean? Youve seen him before?

Yep. I was about...umm... (twenty-two minus eighteen....) four
years old.

He looked better back then too. Sonic chuckled.

Tails gave Sonic that Wha??? look.

All of a sudden, a loud cough barged in on the conversation. Tails turned to see his seemingly lifeless dad awake from a deep coma. He opened his eyes and turned his head toward Tails and Sonic. Even though you could not see a look on his face, Sonic and Tails could tell Amadeus was seriously confused.

What the.... were his first words,... Olgivie... jeez have you grown.

Sonic, what did he just call you?

Uhhhhhh...... Please dont call me that....

Whats wrong with me calling you by your name?

Tails burst into a quiet laughter, though Sonic was thoroughly
annoyed. Then Amadeus turned his head over to Tails. Confused, he did not know he was looking at his own son.

Who are you? he asked Tails, I dont believe Ive met you before.

Dad, Im... your...uh, I dont know how to say this, but, well...Im your son, Miles.

What do you mean? I don't have a son named Miles.

Dad, what year is it?

Its 1986, isnt it?

No

Then what year is it?

2004

Tails father quickly looked for a calendar in the room. There was one and it read November 2004 on the top of the bottom page. He looked like he had seen a ghost or something. He thought to himself How has eighteen years of my life gone by, without any memory of it? Have I died and been brought back to life? He looked up at Tails and Sonic.

Miles? What happened to me?

2:50 PM Highway Hotel, room 206, outside of Mobotropolis

Tails held the TV remote in his hand and was flipping through the
channels until he found Spike TV. They were having a Bondathon on TV,
and apparently, right now it was GoldenEye. Tails had seen this movie
three times so it was very familiar to him. It was near the end, and the guide said Everything or Nothing would be next, so Tails kept it on this channel. Strangely enough, Tails was just sitting there without anything on, and was going to hop into the Jacuzzi anyway. So he just sat there, completely nude, nothing covering his lower areas.

BBRRRIIINNNNGG!!! The phone rang. It came so unexpectedly that Tails tried to cover himself up. He picked it up. It was Dr. Jackson.

Tails, we were just doing an X-ray of your father, and it appears that about an eighth of his brain is still in robotic control. He said with an alarming tone, or was that the phone distorting the tone of his voice?

Well, is that going to affect him at all?

He may have some crazed tendencies but nothing serious. We can do surgery on him by Friday.

Meh...I guess that would be fine.

Sorry to disturb you, just thought you might want to know.
The phone hung up.

3:05 PM, Mobotropolis Hospital

A nurse was walking down the hallway with Amadeus dinner. She
slowly opened the door to the room. The sound of silverware and a tray
slamming the floor ricocheted all over the hallway. Dr. Jackson ran over to see the sight of the bed to be empty. He looked out the broken window; there in the parking lot was a Meclarien F1 speeding away. The nurse was already on the phone calling 911.

3:13 PM, Uptown Shopping Center, Southeastern Mobotropolis

A clerk was sitting near the entrance sipping an ice cold Mountain Dew while downing a hot dog. She thought she heard the sound of a car driving at top speed. She just took it as one of her delusions. But soon the sound came back. It became louder, louder, and yet louder. She turned around. Her eyes bulged out of her head as a car burst through the windows. She jumped on the ground to keep herself from being hit. The car missed most of her, crushing her leg under the tires. The sound of it was like the sound of someone stomping on a pop can, but a hundred times worse. There even some blood on the tire. The clerks face looked like she had smelled a whole carton of rotten eggs.

The Meclarien sped down the mall, smashing through everything that got in front of it, even bystanders. People just flew off the car, men, women, and even child. The world seemed to revolve around that car, until it sped down the stairs to the Light Rail station. It hopped onto the tracks, and barely missed hitting a train by about a centimeter. The driver could literally feel the air rushing between the car and the train. He reached over to keep the sleeping body from being shown to the passengers in the LRV (Light Rail Vehicle). The F1 emerged from the tunnel and leapt off a bridge and on to a freeway, the wrong side of the freeway. Cars zooming past looked as if they were standing still. On the other side, police cars were swerving around to keep up with the speeding F1. The driver tuned in on the police radio.

..Yes we have a speeding Meclarien F1 on the left side of
Interstate 91. WE NEED BACKUP!!

Ten miles to city limits.

If he crosses city limits, hell cross the border into Highland.
You know we dont have clearance into other countries, dont you?
That is my plan you mofos.

The driver slammed onto the accelerator speeding him up from 120
to 140MPH.

Hes crossed the line. I repeat, the F1 has crossed the line!

Back off, let the Highlidians take care of him.

Perfect The tuned off the radio and sped off.

3:20 PM, Highway Hotel, room 206

BBRRIIINGGG!!! The phone rang.

What now?

Tails got up out of the Jacuzzi and picked up the phone. It was a
nurse at the hospital.

Is this Tails?!? she asked at full volume.

Yeah, what is it?! Tails replied, thinking that his dad was dead.

Your father, hes.....hes gone.

Hes......dead????

NOnonono. Hes like.. umm... disapeired or somthin like that.

WHA??

4:40PM, somewhere near West Gateway, Highland.

Hello, Amadeus. Welcome to my humble home.

Amadeus woke up in what looked some sort of secret agency GHQ. He
was not strapped to some seat or table, he was just on a couch.

Who in the hell are you?

The name is Sage. And you are what I need.

Me, why me??

You know this Hedgehog, right? Sage held up a picture of Sonic.

Sonic, yeah I know him.

Bring him to me. He is part of my plan.

Plan?

Well half, the other half I have now.

Whats in it for me?

If you successfully capture Sonic and bring him here, $4,000,000
will be at your disposal. There is a little catch to it though.

Yeah?

You also must kill him, He held up a picture of Tails since if
he is alive when I conduct this operation, so to speak, he will crush my plans.

At first Amadeus looked puzzled, but then he smirked evilly. The
robotic part of his brain was now in function, and Sage knew that. This
was his very plan.

I accept.

Excellent. Youll need these. Sage handed him three things, a
Tazer, a AK-74 assault rifle, and small PP9 pistol. Amadeus then left.

5:19AM November 11, 2004, Jakson Inn, Coon Rapids,
20miles North of Mobotropolis

The late night stillness of the hotel made it hard for the people
at the front desk to keep awake. The only other thing the clerk was
thinking about was for him to get home and get some shut eye, maybe more if his wife is willing. Then he looked away from the picture of his wife to spot a customer walking through the front door, and straight at him. He quickly got himself in position to help this good-lookin fox.

Do you have a Rosemary Prower here? The fox asked

Yeah.

Could I get her room key?

Your purpose?.

"I was supposed to be here a while ago, so I'm running a little late."
"Ok, she didn't mention that, but I bet she just forgot."

He handed over the card. The fox quickly trotted away towards the
room, making sure to fit his pistol with a silencer, just in case. He
watched the number-boards of the doors to make sure he had the right one, then stopped. He quietly stuck the card in the slot and opened the door.

A flash of blinding light filled Rosemarys eyes. A figure, no wait, Amadeus was at the doorway, with what looked like a pistol in his hand. He pointed the pistol at Rosemary as he closed the door.

Where is Tails?

What? Rosemary replied softly.

Dont play games with me! Again, where is Tails? Amadeus said,
this time with more of a threatening tone in his voice.

Well, not here

Ok, were is he?

I dont know. You can look, but hes not here.

What do you know?: Amadeus asked her, with more of a devilish
tone.

Hell be on the 1:00 Kashere Express to Knothole, along with his
friend.

Excellent. Amadeus mumbled to himself"This will be a double
baggin.

Wha?

Oh, shut up...

Double bagging?

I said shut up! Amadeus now seriously annoyed.

What are you...

I said SHUT THE HELL UP!!! Amadeus pointed the silenced PP9 at Rosemary and pulled the trigger. PSSSSOO! PSSSSOO! Rosemary yelped in pain as Amadeus raced for the door. He looked over and noticed the clerk there at the front desk staring at his gun, reaching for the phone. Amadeus pulled the trigger at him and nailed the clerk in the head. He then raced out the door to see a supped up 78' Chevy Monte Carlo drive up to him. He swung the door open and jumped in the car.

7:19 A.M.

Tails, waiting for his mom (she had told him to wait for her in the parking lot) started his way toward the hotel, thinking maybe she forgot or something. Walking in the door he looked over to where the clerk would be standing but there was none. Then he noticed blood on the counter. He slowly trotted toward the front desk. Peering over, there was a body, blood splattered over his head. He walked down the hallway, looking for room 139, his moms room. He looked over to where his moms room was to see the door wide open. He ran into the room, expecting to find either a dead body or nothing at all. Shes here......why is there blood on the blanket?....OH GOD!!!! Tails shook his mom to see if she would wake up. Nothing. He bent over to hear if she was breathing at all. Breath was being blown into his ear...... that was a relief.

Mom....mom, are you awake?? Tails whispered into her ear.

No reply.

Mom.....mom? Dammit mom, wake up!! Tails now shouting.

Rosemary rolled a bit, but still nothing.

Mom, its me, Miles. Are you ok? he half whispered, half talked, sounding like when he was a cute little five-year-old.

Tails mom rolled toward him and opened her eyes halfway.

Miles.....

What happened?

I dont really know. I had the craziest dream...Ow! Tails mom
cringed as she tried to get out of her bed. She looked at her leg. Her face had no expression at all, just completely blank.

It was real???

Rosemary got out of bed and quickly got dressed, despite the pain-filled leg. She quickly gathered up her stuff and stuffed them in Tails car. They now were headed for the station.

12:35 P.M. Mobotropolis Central Station

Now were the heck is track 9? Tails, trying to navigate through the crowded stairways and corridors that snaked throughout Mobotropolis
Central Station, was searching for the Kashere Express on track 9. He had only twenty-five minutes till the train left, so he was in a huge rush. He finally spotted the sign that directed passengers to the track he was looking for. He made a mad dash up the stairs to get to the platform, then to the train. He flashed the ticket at the conductor and made his way aboard.

12:56 P.M. Aboard the Kashere Express

Car 5, top floor, seat 106- that is what his ticket read. Tails
finally found his seat and sat down.

Well its about time! a familiar voice rang behind him. Tails
looked behind himself to find Sonic sitting in the seat behind him.

Sorry, trying to get a driver to drive the car into the auto racks is not as easy as it may seem.

Ahh, who cares. At least you made it.

Yhea, I guess.

A sudden jolt was an indication that they finally were moving. Tails was actually now missing the nowadays tourist trap of Knothole Village, he just wished it wasnt so crazy. Sonic stretched out and relaxed himself. It was going to be a long trip, and he had a perfect way to let it all fly. Tails, on the other hand, was headed to the bar.

A lone person sat at a table in the bar car watching every customer as he downed a Budweiser. His attention was drawn to a two tailed fox entering the car. He raised a small microphone to his mouth.

Amadeus to base, the target is in sight.

Got ya, now kill him.

First I need to know where his little friend is.

Amadeus looked up, the fox was now leaving the car. He got up and
started fallowing that fox. He knew he would be lead to the main target, and his pistol was at hand to capture it.

Well I didnt expect to see you. Tails turned around to see Sally standing there looking at him.

Huh... I didnt expect to see you either. Why are you here anyway?

This is my once a year visit to see my dads grave. Sally lost a bit of her smile after she said that.

Oh, yhea... I remember now.

Four years ago, King Acorn was just spending another day with his
daughter. He had not seen her for over a year and wanted to spend some
time with her since she had grown farther away from him. That is when it happened. An armed bystander walked right in front of him and pulled out a Kowlon Type 40 3-shot burst pistol and drove a whole clip of bullets into him. The guy would have taken down Sally, but he only brought one clip, so then he ran like his balls were on fire.

She would never forget the expression on her dads face as he died right in front of her. Just thinking about it now brought tears to her eyes. She also vowed to kill with her own hands whoever did that to her father.

Tails kept silent after that. He knew that this was the worst thing to think about besides the picture someone had drawn of him dressed up as a frickin Care Bear he had found on the internet. He never knew King Acorn, but... he meant very much to Sally (well duh, he was her father) so in a way, he mourned about his death as well. Finally the silence was broken: Is Sonic here at all?

Yeah, but hes wearing the trip off with a long snooze so ya might wanna leave him alone.

Typical.

Amadeus listened to the entire conversation (which was pretty damn short) and knew this was the perfect thing to happen. He would not only be driven to Sonic, but he had a thing for Sonic to watch die! Perfect! He walked down the corridors of the rail cars and suddenly stopped when he reached the seats of Sonic and Tails.

You two come with me! Amadeus whipped out both of his guns and
pointed them at Sonic and Tails. You... he looked over at Sally, You
can come with me to, and dont you try to escape.

Whats going on? was the only thing that was flashing through both the minds of Sally and Tails. Sonic, on the other hand, was wondering why he had grown so quickly, and why he was in a train, not the underground confines of Knothole Village.

GET UP!!!,NOW!!! Amadeus, now sounding as if he was a terrorist. A security guard was running down the hall, when Amadeus span toward him and drove two bullets in his skull. Amadeus acted so quickly, he was like Spiderman with his Spidey Sense.

"No one do anything, or this might have to get a little messy." He knew it was gonna get messy anyway, but for them to know that would cause un-wanted heroism by some mild mannered idiot who apperently just wanted to die. He pivoted around and grabbed Sally by the collar of her vest and held her up. "Now nobody move or do anything, you don't want this beautiful young lady's guts splattering all over this train car, do you?" saying that with an evil tone and a demonic smile. Shocked faces and crying babies and toddelers filled the room.

"Allright, now if you please just let me get to the roof, this whole thing can eaisilly end." He peered at Sonic, then just grabbed him by the neck, making sure he had a firm grip but not too firm so he'd choke the living hell out of him. Jolting for the ladder that would lead to the roof now, Tails started after him, blasting up the ladder just after that psyco fox.

Tails rockedted forward, nailing his fist right onto the cheak of whoever this guy was. He fell forward releasing Sonic and Sally but got up as quickly as he was attacked and shot at Sonic to make sure he wouldn't run off. Now, the mystery fox jammed Tails onto the roof of the passenger car and was taking punces at him, most of them ending up as pain-bringers because of the steel car. Tails lifted his feet and knoced one in the gut, but this guy wasn't going to give up. He struggled to his feet then grabbed Sally and hung her over the side of the train.

"Too late. Because of your foolish actions, this woman will become just a peice of short lived history."

"Not on my watch."

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Your time is up too!" Amadeaus swung his leg toward the target and tripped him, making him fall off the train and into a gourge below them. Now for the lady, he released Sally into the gourge and watched as they plumeted down into the river.

Tails had no clue what had just happened, he was now falling down into a river gourge. He could not feel anything, he could not smell anything, he could not hear anything. Is this what death is like? Now he could hear something. Someone nearby was yelling "@#%$!!!" but he didn't care. He knew he could just start flying, but fear was now overcoming him and he was too frightened to do a single thing. Falling, falling... SPLASH!!! A cold liqud now surrounded him, the fear that ensrouded him grew worse as he waited to die...

Amadeus looked down as his mission was now complete. He looked over to the hedgehog he held in his right hand and smiled, he had killed the fox and captured the hedgehog, he could get used to this!
Now to Sage to deliver the cargo and collect the cash.

Somewhere along the Acorn River

Sally opened her strangely heavy eyes. Pain was all over her body and there was no place where the burning pain wasn't located. It was as if she had jumped into a pit of magma and was burning apart every second. She raised her head to see if anything that was on/in her body was causing all the pain. Not much luck, except for the fact that blood was gushing from her crotch. No, that was just her leg. Her abdomin had the same problem, blood was gushing out like a open faucet.

Now the world was getting dark as her head came to a rest looking to the right. She saw a figure running at her, and what she beleved was yelling for help, but it was too late anyway she thought as she drifted away into a coma.

3:32 P.M.

Max Prower was just enjoying a wonderful day with a hike alongside the Acorn River. The sun was high in the air and there was not a cloud to be seen to block the rays of the glorious sun. Perfect, just perfect.

Max was just consentrating on the trail in front of him, but now something was laying on the side of the river. A log? No, too small for a normal log. He better se what it is, Max figured. Now he noticed a red liquid around the "log", now a strange formation as if someone had used a chainsay to cut an image into the wood. Wait a minute, this was no log, this was a PERSION! Max now realized that someone was dieing in front of him. He rockedted toward the body.

"Help!! Hellp!!" he called. Nothing, no one was there. He got closer to the body. "HELLLLP!! There's someone dieing here!!" Still nothing.

He now was at the persion laying an the side of the river. It was undoubtfully a woman for the slim bodyline and the breasts gave it away, but that didn't matter now. He reached with two fingers and pushed on her neck to check her pulse. Slow, it was a little too slow. He placed his armson the ground and slid them under her. Now with the woman in her grasp he started running to the parking lot, hopeing, just hopeing, she wouldn't die in his arms.

4:25 P.M. Sage's Headquarters

"Good, very good." Sage looked upon Amadeus's tape recorder that recorded the entire ordeal. "You brought me the hedgehog, and killed your son."

"What? I killed my SON?!?!"

"Oh well, he would have destroyed my operation anyway. You did it for the good of the world, Amadeus."

"But, I never knew him."

"Sometimes, you just gotta let it go. By the way, heres your 4 million." Sage tossed Amadeus a suitcase. "I'll give you another assignment later, and here's keys to my private apartment in West Gateway. I'll call you over my secure line."

"Alright. I'll be waiting."

Amadeus walked away. I killed my own son? Dammit! Why the hell did I do that?!?! He walked down the hallways to exit the compound when a solder came upon him.

"Amadeus, sir, good to see you," the solder saluted.

"Could I borrow a few granades, just for my next assignment."

"Yes, I have four right here. Is that enough?"

"Yes, just fine."

Amadeus walked away. He knew of a propaine chamber where the propaine heating tanks were located and now it was time to blow this place apart. He reached it, and now for his persional assignment. He pulled the pins from the granades and tossed them into the chamber and dashed for the exit. It was very close, just so that the need for a thermal exaust port would me minamized. He rocedted out the door and got a few hundred feet away from the door when he turned and looked around.

BOOM!!!!

Flames spewed out of the door and ventalation shafts. Licks of red and orange leaped for the sky as Amadeus ran for West Gateway.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!"

"Sir! A large explosion came from the propane chamber! Massive damage!"

"What went wrong?"

"Sir! Even though there was massive damage, the security camera system is still in operational condision. We could patch in a replay of the propane camber cameras when the explosion occured!"

"Go ahead." A picture flashed on the screen. Four small objects flew into the chamber, then the camer turned and showed a picture of a fox starting to run. Wait a minute, that was no ordinary fox, that was Amadeus!

"That bastard! That filthy mother @#%$ bastard!"

to be continued....
