Resort Island - Beach Party Chaos

[Dr. Mechano]

Meanwhile, Pickle was making a scene at the party.

"Ho ho!" The Professor jovially exclaimed as he danced to the party's upbeat music, getting the occasional odd look, "How smashing! I'm going to boogie like I'm only 55! Look out, Resort Island, Herschel Pickle's on the town again! What a splendid-"

And then he was hit by an armadillo.

THWACK[/b]

"Oooh... Oh my..." Pickle staggered about for a moment, before stumbling over, the Emerald in his pocket dropping out and rolling into the sand, "I think I might have partied a bit too hard... Ooh.

[Topazia]

"Professor Pickle!" shouted a voice, having seen RK accost the old man (with another person - great, a sign that this wasn't going to end well at all) and cause the good Doc to bumble about -

Yep. That was a Chaos Emerald. Right there. Checking his hammerspace for what available weaponry he had (his electro-cable and, thankfully, his faithful toaster cannon), Tails made a beeline for Pickle.

"Ah, Professor Pickle, are you alright?" Tails asked as he landed, standing on top of the glowing emerald and pushing it into the sand in a bid to hide it from the metallix and whoever else might take an interest in the spectacle. If need be he could just grab it and Pickle and make a run for it.

[Dr. Mechano]

"Oh, dear," the Professor stammered, still rather dazed, "Tails, dear boy, is that you?"

He slowly stumbled to his feet, nodding.

"I'm fine!" he shouted a bit louder than he needed to, as he stumbled back and forth a bit without realizing it, "I-It will take more than a projectile dasypodidae to take out ol' Professor Pickle, ho ho!"

He looked down at the armadillo, rubbing his chin, "I say, are you quite alright?"

[Xeric]

"What the-- HEY! Put me dow--!"

Suddenly, Mighty was flung through the air into the back of Prof. Pickle. The impact caused Mighty to curl into a ball, and then roll off until hitting a nearby tree.

"Urgh.." he moaned as he uncurled. He looked up at the stranger. "Am I alright? Are you? I can say i've met many people who could stand the weight of an armadillo shell hitting them.."

He stood up and looked at the Metalic Echidna face down in the sand. "I don't know what you want or why you look like my friend, but throwing me and trying to hurt innocent people is no good and I won't allow it!" he called, pointing dramatically towards himself with his thumb.

He bent back down, and charged up a spin-dash; the resulting backlash from the sand coated anyone surround Mighty. He finally released his power and shot towards the Mettalix.

[Dr. Mechano]

Professor Pickle nodded at Tails as Mighty ran off, "Ah, you see, Tails? He's right as rain, just like I am!"

...And suddenly he fell over again.

RK looked up from the sand, a swell pride filled him as he saw the old professor collapse. Great! Now all he had to do was get the emerald and-hey Tails is over there. Maybe he could still ask about that mouth.

Wait, why was that armadillo yelling? Something about hurting innocent people? Is he going to start hurting people because he was thrown? That seemed like a gross overreaction.

Mighty curled into a ball and rolled towards RK at high speed. However the robot’s eyes could track movement better then his living counterpart so it was a simple matter to stand up, wind back his steel fist and…wait for it…wait for it…

POW

Just before Mighty crashed into the ruby metallix, RK punched his fist into Mighty. Lucky for the armadillo, RK’s knuckle spikes were retracted. He had no intention of killing him. Afterall, he had a mission to take care of first…plus where’s the fun in killing someone who’s fun to fight?[rand=873718685491528139095398756728560708777914959430934960500351921686]

[Topazia]

Tails started as the professor fell over for a second time.

"Oh boy..." he groaned, hopping over to the old man to check on him. If the injuries were bad enough he might need medical care which the kit couldn't provide. He glanced over at RK, and saw the thrown armadillo seemed to be engaging him - maybe he could get Pickle to safety and come back for the emerald before the metallix could get to it.

"ROCKYYY!" a high pitched voice shouted. Zipping through the crowd, Bokkun quickly closed in on his target - after all, seeing a guy toss an armadillo at an old man was something pretty hard to miss, and with his companion located, it was time to get this train wreck back on track.

"Rocky!" Bokkun scolded, coming to a stop beside a certain twin-tailed kitsune. "You great big dummy! Eggman told us not to be seen by anyone! Even if throwing that guy was pretty awesome."

A swishing motion out of the corner of his eye caught the little badnik's attention, curiosity dragging his head to glance at its source. He blinked. Then stared. Then blinked again. Soooomething about this guy seemed familiar.

And then he jolted mid-air.

"WHOA! You're TAILS!"

[Xeric]

"OOF--!"

Again, Mighty hit the same palmtree. Thankfully RK hit his hard shell, so the hit didnt affect him too much. Mighty stood back up and glared at the Robotic Knuckles and clenched his fists, his teeth were grinding together and his left eye twitched slightly. His temper had been unleashed.

"I've had quite enough of you!" he cried charging into the Mettalix head first, hope to smash into him with his rock-hard shell.

[Topazia]

The kit's eyebrows raised. Eggman!? This little black flying... thing... was working for Eggman? So that meant Robo Knuckles did have backup... even if it wasn't something the fox expected. Great.

Tails blinked at the badnik's reaction to him. This was new.

"Umm... Yeah." Tails murmured. "And I didn't know Eggman had kids working for him now." He glanced down at Pickle, and then down at his feet, a dilemma spreading beneath him. Pickle needed aid, but he couldn't just leave the Emerald to get picked up by this little guy.

After what felt like forever because his player was a lazy bum and didn't feel like posting, Nate finally regained his composure and looked over at the mayhem before him. Was there a fight going on? When did that happen? The ferret quickly spotted his two friends over by the snack table and, rubbing his still-sore head, he made his way over to them.

"Um... Anyone wanna fill me in on what's going on?"

Carmen was still trying to get glitter and confetti out of her hair. "Uh... Honestly I'm not sure, but this is the best party we've had in years. We've never had a fight before." She sounded slightly excited. "Maybe someone spiked the punch."

[Yoolzine]

"Like, totally chica! But, uh..." The fossa paused, watching the confrontration.

"I think those dudes need a hand with the tincans."

Readying himself to grab the charging armadillo, at the last second RK heard the voice of his ghost friend Bokkun. Turning his head to look for the little badnik, he took Mighty’s hit and was sent tumbling into a rock.

Ok, this was becoming annoying now. How many times had he fallen over now? Jumping to his feet RK unsheathed his knuckle blades, “Dude! Not cool!” and ran right at Mighty in an attempt to tackle him.

"Woah--!"

Mighty's eyes quickly glanched at the incoming Metallix, the sharp knuckles heading straight for him. He quickly curled into a ball, and threw himself to the side of RK, dodging the incoming attack.

He curled from his ball and once again lunged at RK.

[Jammerlee]

"Hey... hey!" Bokkun shouted, throwing an accusing arm out at Tails. "You're a kid! I'm modeled after a chao!"

At this point, the little badnik's eyes trailed downward, following Tails' gaze. And that's when he spotted it. The cool blue glow that seemed to soak itself into the stand, partially eclipsed by Tails' foot. Recognizing what that glow had to signify.

"Saaaay..." Bokkun's voice trailed off, folding his arms in an attempt to appear tough. "What're you doing here, anyway?!"
