The Prophecy; Fulfilled (Part Two)

Chapter Two - Coma

~Tails~

His eyes finally flashed on, and his robotic arms started to tremble. I bit my lip and backed away, looking him over. He looked at me and stood, pointing his arm at me. I watched it morph into a cannon, and I backed away even more.

"..O-Omega?"

"Intruder." He said in his dead, robotic tone, and blasted his crap at me. I screamed and fell back, putting my arms over my face to protect it. I wonder why we always try to protect our face, when most of our vital organs are in our torso?

Knuckles and Rouge must have heard my scream and woke up, because they ran and jumped onto the robot, each taking an arm and holding it back. They were struggling, so I knew I had to act fast.

"Omega! It's me, Tails!" I jumped to my feet and flew in front of him. "It's just me. We're not going to hurt you." I said softly, cracking a smile.

Omega's cannon slowly lowered, despite Rouge's struggles to hold it. "Meatbag." He said after a short moment. "Where is little meatbag?"

"Little meatbag?" I asked. That was right.. He was shut down so suddenly, and so the last thing he remembered was.. whatever was happening with Cream.

"I'm not sure, Omega." I said sadly. "She's gone.. You were powered off for a few days, and you're the last one who saw her, and the only one who knows what happened. So what happened?"

"Male canine, about three foot nine inches, fur color dark indigo. Said meatbag interrupted our tea party, and tried to take the little rabbit meatbag you refer to as Cream." He answered.

Male canine, dark indigo color.. That was no doubt the guy who was chasing Sonic at the castle. He was also on the room when we were trying to save Knuckles, and he was on Lavender's side. But what did Lavender want with poor little Cream?  gulped and gripped the pendant dangling from my neck for comfort. I looked down at it. It was yellow, and was glowing faintly, and was emanating with a soothing warmth in my palm. Honestly, I had forgotten that it was there until I grabbed it. It reminded me that I wasn't powerless, that I could do this.

"We'll just have to go, then!" I said, and looked at my friends. "Are you guys ready?"

Knuckles groaned. "Can't we wait until morning? It's like midnight."

"No!" I snapped. "Eggman has Sonic, and who knows what he's done to him!"

Rouge smirked and set a hand on her hip. "Wow, Tails. You are a little perv, aren't ya?"

I felt my face flush. "Th-That's not what I meant.."

"Oh, we know what you meant." She winked at me.

I sighed. "I need to know if he's okay.. And Cream, we probably can't find Cream without him! And none of us even knows what happened to Amy!"

"She's probably hanging on Sonic, as usual." Knuckles said under his breath.

"..I don't know. But if you guys don't go, I'm going by myself!" I said.

Knuckles sighed and mumbled a little "Fine." Rouge floated down and stretched out her wings, yawning. "I think I'll stay behind and watch Omega and Vanilla."

Knuckles eyed her suspiciously as he followed me to the plane. "You're still communicating with GUN, aren't you, Batgirl?"

"Please don't get them involved this time, Rouge!" I pleaded, filling with anxiety just thinking about it. "Lavender might feel threatened and do something totally unnecessary, and put Cream in danger, if she's not already in danger, and-"

Rouge let out an aggravated sigh. "Okay, okay, I won't. You have my word. But only because you're so adorable." She flew over and rubbed my head, messing up the strands of fur that I worked so hard on getting them to stick up. She giggled as I narrowed my eyes and she grabbed Omega's arm. "C'mon, big guy. Let's go."
