So did anyone take up the mantel of the main hero after Sonic went missing or is it more just a collective effort from everyone?

Surge grumbled angrily, but it was Shadow who stepped forwards to answer.

"Despite whatever you may think, Surge is her own person and isn't merely defined by whether or not she can replace Sonic."

"Aw, thanks dude." Surge smiled.

"However, the United Federation is trying to push Surge into the role of Sonic." Surge stuck out her tongue childishly, "As for the rest of us, we are... disorganized. The heroes of the world lend a hand where they can and where they are needed. People form groups, complete a task, then disband again. The only constant is Team Dark, and even then Omega is not currently on the team."

Shadow paused for a moment, brow angry, "It is one of the greatest weaknesses of the defenders of this planet - they are disorganized and do not co ordinate well together. The main reason I joined GUN was to avoid this exact problem."

"No one is trying to become the main hero. Everyone is helping as they can, so... while I don't want to say it's a collective effort because that would imply actual co operation, it is more accurate to call it that."

So question, are there any rules or international laws regarding super forms? I ask because when you got hedgehogs that can break the sound barrier fighting gods beyond reality with those things it sounds like at least human goverments would wanna regulate those. So do they kinda work with y'all to manage these things responsibly?

"That is a good question," Bradley said, nodding his approval, "Generally speaking GUN recognizes that super forms are often needed to fight against Gods, or against Eggman's latest evil plan, so as long is it was Sonic or Shadow using super forms we did not take any action against it - Sonic because he was granted immunity through our deal, Shadow because he is a GUN agent."

"The problem becomes when others, like Blaze or Silver, go super. Blaze is a princess from another dimension, the ruler of her own empire, and is as strong as Sonic was so picking a fight over her use of the Sol emeralds is unwise. Something which I am very quick to point out whenever I get complaints about allowing Blaze to travel freely through United Federation territory."

"Silver is a harder thing to pin down. Silver is not recognized, and his constant time travel is considered... worrisome. There have been discussions and plans to do something about Silver, but I have been working hard to suppress them. As he is a former ally of Sonic the Hedgehog, and considering his help in stopping the Metal Virus and other evils, and considering his incredible power, the current position of GUN is that stopping Silver is simply too much of an effort for almost no benefit."

"To sum it up more simply, the United Federation does not have any laws to regulate super forms. The few people capable of using super forms either work for GUN, are too useful to destroy, too powerful to confront directly, or generally do not cause enough problems to justify the extraordinary cost of bringing them under control."

"What we do instead is different - and much more difficult. We target the Chaos Emeralds to try and limit who can go Super without our permission. However, the Chaos Emeralds do not like to be contained and can seemingly vanish from even the most secure vault - we are not entirely sure how that works. Luckily we have the Ultimate Thief, Rouge the Bat, who we have sent to secure Emeralds on more than one occasion."

"We try to keep at least one Emerald in GUN containment at all times to maintain some measure of control over who can and cannot turn super."

"As for international laws, the Islands do not care to take any action whatsoever regarding super forms, and don't take any action to try and prevent Chaos Emeralds from falling into the hands of criminals and terrorists who would abuse a super form. Unbelievably a Chaos Emerald was put on public display in a museum with the only security being a glass case." Bradley shook his head in disbelief, "In fact, a thief managed to steal a Chaos Emerald from that very museum, a disturbing cause of events that highlights how important it is to keep the Chaos Emeralds under strict control."

Bradley smiled warmly, "I hope that answers your excellent question. Rest assured we here at GUN do everything in our power to co operate with the heroes of the world, and keep you safe from criminals like Eggman."

Beebityboopity bop!

Whisper, you're new. A human (don't worry it'll wear off after eight hours).

NOW GO FORTH! PET YOUR LEMUR!

Whisper gasped, her hands roaming all over herself. She was tall, at a whopping near two meters, and she found herself bonking her head on the ceiling of the lounge room in the house she and Tangle lived in as she tried to stand.

Her skin was a pale white, and she ran her head up to her hair and pulled blonde strands in front of her face - "Don't just change my species!" Whisper demanded angrily, "You don't change my body like that!"

"Hey, Whisper what are you yelling about-" Tangle walked into the room, and stopped dead, staring in shock, her head craned back - Whisper was now twice Tangle's size.

"Tangle, pound cake, it's alright, don't panic, it's just me!" Whisper said, waving her hands in front of her, "Someone turned me into this against my will, I'm still the same old Whisper-"

Tangle ran forwards and leapt up, Whisper catching Tangle in her arms with a gasp. Tangle was so light...

'Woo! Giant girlfriend!" Tangle beamed, "Whisper! I command you! Garry me on your shoulders - I'll be the tallest girl at the ball!"

Whisper sighed as Tangle giggled manically. She'd been rather scared that Tangle might have taken this badly, but she needn't have worried. Tangle was too energetic to be down for long.

Hoisting Tangle up, Whisper put her girlfriend on her shoulders, and started carrying Tangle around the house, Tangle cheering all the while as their wisps looked on in confusion.

'I'm getting tired," Whisper said, walking over to the couch, "You're kind of heavy."

Lifting Tangle up and over her head, Whisper put Tangle down on the couch. Tangle scooted to one side, and patted the couch next to her. Whsiper smiled and sat down next to her.

"So, serious talk," Tangle said, "Is this permanent or..."

"Only for an hour or so." Whisper said, crossing her legs, "So what do you want to do with the hour we've got?"

Tangle smiled, and threw herself across Whisper's lap, "Head pats!" she said, "Give me attention!"

Whisper shook her head, and started to run her fingers through Tangle's hair. "Figures that you'd be into this." she said, "Thinking about everything else we've done, it's not surprising."

"Less yapping more bellyrubs!" Tangle commanded playfully, putting Whisper's hand on her belly. Whisper sighed, and rubbed Whisper's belly.

Tangle cheered, "Yea-a-ay!"

Does this to Kit.

Does this to Tails.

"Hold on, kit, I got you." Surge said, grabbing hold of the plastic cup and trying to pull Kitsunami out of it. "I dunno how you got in there, but it's a pain trying to get you out."

"Please, Ma'am, allow me." Kitsunami said. Pulling water from his backpack Kitsunami slashed with high pressure water and split the cup into pieces.

"I don't know who stuffed you in there," surge growled, "But if I ever get my hands on them I'm gonna shove them into a cup of their own- see how they like it!"

-----

Tails' twin tails spun like the blades of a helicopter, and he simply flew up and out of reach of the giant hand that had held him like a loaf of bread.

Flying into the distance, Tails resolved that he would never again be held like a cat - he was a nine year old boy damn it, not someone's pet! It was demeaning!

*A box of wine arrives at Amy’s doorstep. Attached is a note that reads “Apologies for the discomfort that last question brought. Written hastily on the side of the box is a caricature of Surge and the words “Not for Surge”*

"Ooh, boxwine!" my cooed as she picked up the box and looked at the label. "Not my usual brand, but I'll take it. Although, something worth mentioning is that box wine is usually pretty cheap - relatively speaking." she carried the box inside and set it on the counter, "If you truly wanted to make me happy though, you could get me a bottle of more expensive wine from Spagonia - that would be very nice."

Amy reached for a glass before she continued, "As it is, I tend to drink wine from the United Federation's Sunshine region. That wine is pretty good, you know?"

Sipping from her glass of wine, Amy sat down on the couch, "Actually, funny story - Spagonia wine used to be considered the best wine in the world, until the Sunshine Judgement were Spagonian judges compared Spagonian and United Federation wines. The judges declared that the Sunshine wines were superior, but what they didn't know is that the Sunshine wines were from the United Federation! They thought that the wine was so good it could only have come from Spagonia!"

Amy giggled to herself, "And that right there is why you never rest easy. To be the best, you have to keep improving, otherwise you get overtaken by people working even harder than you are!"

Taking another sip, Amy Rose settled into her couch. "Mmm. Thank you for the lovely gift."

[asksonicismissing]

Wait wait wait. If head pats are considered inappropriate, then what does that make it when Sonic doe-did it to Tails, or when Surge does it to Kit?

Amy groaned in frustration as she read the question on the machine, "I said to send these to Rouge," she complained, "I don't wanna answer the-e-e-se."

Amy sighed before she resigned her self to her fate. "It's okay when we do it to each other, it's just kind of weird if Humans do it to us."

Amy paused for a moment, "It's kind of like... If we really trust you, you might get a Headpat pass. But yeah, real shameful for us to let a Human do it."

[asksonicismissing]

My apologies kitsunami, I was just trying to show you some love, in a rather aggressive manner I guess. But you are very cutie little man, so fluffy yet so full of bottled up fury and aggression. Honestly the danger factor only makes you cuter.

Little guy, very small, it brings me joy. Small boy, so very small. Loves him, little man, little guy, so very tiny and lovable, huggable, so full of hate, so full of pain. Just makes me want to.

*picks up kit like a cat and hugs him while rubbing my face against his tummy.*

Little baby! Lovesed you so much! Little guy!

Lanolin stood staring as the ambulance drove off.

"Well, ordinarily we might have charges to bring against you for what you did to them," she said, hands on her waist, tapping her finger, "But considering that you're underage and they were thrown out by Surge before, there's really nothing you did wrong."

"Understood." Kitsunami said, expression blank, "Thank you ma'am."

"If that creep comes near my little brother again," Surge growled, electricity arcing from her fingers to her ears, "Then I'll do things to them that make what Drippy did NOTHING."

"Easy Surge," Lanolin said, "I get where you're coming from, but-"

"I'm gonna ****** and then I'm ***** them in the ***** and then I'll ******* and ******* then I'll flip them over and ******** them!!!"

"Surge!' barked Lanolin, "There's a child present!"

"I've heard worse." Kitsunami said, "Can we go back inside now?"

"Yes," Lanolin sighed, "You're free to go, just stay out of trouble."

Kitsunami didn't even say anything, just looked at Surge expectantly.

"Alright, Drip." Surge said with a huff as she smiled, 'Let's head home. I'll make you french potatoes, how about that?"

"I'd love that, Ma'am." Kitsunami said, as he and Surge walked away.

"You're not saying that just 'cause you have to, right?"

[asksonicismissing]

Shadow.

Do you let Topaz pet you?

Shadow was taking a swig from a coffee mug when he read the ask.

His eyes widened, and he spat out coffee in a spray.

Choking and coughing, he hunched over hacking until Topaz thumped him on the back.

"Shadow, what's wrong!" Topaz asked, before Shadow pointed a shaky finger at the machine.

Topaz read the message, and groaned. "We don't have that kind of relationship," Topaz said, rubbing her face with her hand, "We're co workers. And friends. Maybe. Shadow, are we friends?"

Shadow paused for a moment, blowing coffee out of his nose into a tissue before he held out his hand flat and wobbled it in a "sort of" gesture.

Topaz nodded and turned back to the machine, "Well there you are. We're friends. And we don't do cuddling and pets - that's for couples."

[asksonicismissing]

Hey Amy, you grew up with humans.

What's the etiquette when it comes to headpats?

Amy blinked.

'Okay!" she said, mildly panicked, clapping her hands together, "We're going to talk about consent!"

Any cleared her throat "In the United Federation, touching someone without their consent in a consistent fashion is called Assault. So if you give someone head pats and they say no, but you keep doing it, that's called Assault and can land you in trouble."

"On the other hand!" Amy continued, "If they allow you to touch them than it's perfectly legal and you can keep doing it! Yay!"

"But!" Amy cautioned, "When it comes to cultural stuff it's considered something not done. A Human head patting me would be considered scandalous - because of the history behind it. You see, a lot of Mainlanders were bigoted against Islanders a long, long time ago, and they would often refer to us as little more than animals. The head pats would be viewed as a... a sort of reinforcement of this bigotry."

"So," Amy paused for a moment, gathering her thoughts, "If I allowed a Human to give me head pats, and I enjoyed it, it would... be scandalous! People would think that I was some sort of pervert! And- and on a few islands I could even be arrested for public indecency!" Amy giggled maniacally, "So don't do head pats unless it's inside the comfort of your own home, okay! And if traveling abroad, please make sure to read up on local laws and customs to avoid legal trouble! And for the love of God ask this sort thing to Rouge please."

"THE FUCK YOU DOING HITTING MY DRIPPY!?" Surge bellowed, racing forwards at lighting speed. She grabbed papagabu by the shirt and the cuff of papagabu's pants, and threw papagabu out the door to her apartment.

"And stay out!" she snapped, before slamming the door shut so hard dust fell from the ceiling.

"Thank you Ma'am." Kitsunami said, readjusting his bangs, "I was having trouble restraining myself."

[asksonicismissing]

Maybe Topaz could pet you?

Topaz looked at the ask machine in surprise, "I don't think that'd be appropriate!" she said, "I mean, he's a teenager, and I'm a grown woman, and I'm not exactly a close friend and-"

Her protests were halted when Tails bumped into her legs. Shakily, he held out his arms and hugged Topaz' leg tightly.

Topaz sighed, "But I guess that's not important." she said, kneeling down and reaching out with her arms. Tails took a step forwards and accepted the hug, holding on tight and burrowing his face into Topaz' shoulder.

Before long, quiet sobs could be heard, and Topaz made soothing noises, "It's alright," she said, soft like cotton, "It's okay. Take as long as you need, I'm not going anywhere..."

[asksonicismissing]

Tails, This is what I'm gonna do when I find you. >:3

Tails looked at the answer machine, eyebrow raised in confusion. "You're gonna... pet me?"

Tails sighed, "Okay, I admit it, I could use some pets..."

Tails then looked in alarm, "But not from a stranger! Not a stranger, but, I dunno... it'd be nice if I got a hug."

Tails looked down at his feet, his right arm rubbing at his left elbow, "I could really use a hug."

[asksonicismissing]

*Puts an adult pacifier on Lanolin's desk*

"Hey, Lanolin!" Tangle called, opening the door with a sheet of paper in her hand, "I did the t-13 report you wanted, so let's get those-"

Tangle stopped dead, staring that the pacifier on lanolin's desk. Her eyes were wide, her mouth open, and she reached down and picked it up, turning it over in her hands.

"What in the heck...?" she mouthed to herself, "Is this- is this Lanolin's?"

Tangle leaned in and sniffed the soft plastic, and made a face, "Oh, wow, she's into this? I mean, wow! I guess still waters run deep." Tangle cocked her head, "Is it a stress relief thing? Does she suck on it and curl up to forget? Like a... a retreat into infancy to be safe?"

Tangle turned the pacifier in her hand, fingers working dexterously to rotate it. "Damn Lanolin," she said to herself, somewhat impressed, "Guess you're not the only freak on the team."

"Ah Tangle," Lanolin said from behind Tangle, "Glad to see you. Did you get that TPS report I wanted?"

Tangle stopped dead, ramrod straight, clutching the pacifier close to her chest. "Ah! Lanolin!" she said, turning around "Eh, us, yeah! Yeah, I have the report you wanted, here it is!" Tangle thrust the paper towards Lanolin and gave a wide grin that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Oookay, thank you..." Lanolin said, taking the report, "Is everything alright?"

"Yes!" Tangle barked, laughing nervously, "I just... I just gotta go do some things. Whisper's waiting for me!" and with that Tangle walked quickly out of the office, her tail straight up and her fur on end.

"The hell was that about?"

-----

Outside in the hallway, Tangle looked at the pacifier in her hand.

"I'm taking this to the grave." she said.

"Taking what to the grave?" Whisper asked.

"FUCK!!!"

(Hi TheAussieBlue! I still haven't really caught up to your fic, I only really read the first handful of chapters so far. But I suddenly got the idea it could be fun to have My AU's Tails interact with another Tails that lost Sonic. Just felt like letting you know, anyways.)

Suddenly, a portal burst open in the middle of Tails’ workshop. The air trembled as another fox fell out of the portal, just before it closed, slamming into the floor with a surprisingly heavy thud that shook the tools off nearby shelves.

A low growl rose from the intruder's chest as he drove his claws into the floor and pushed himself upright, arcs of electricity sparking from his robotic arm as he moved.

@metal-breakers-au-askblog

SiMTails leapt up as he heard the heavy thud. And felt it too, the tremors shaking through the floor. He scrambled for a weapon, and settled on a heavy plumbing wrench. Slowly stepping over to his lab, he readied the wrench like a club, and opened the door with a shout.

And stopped. Inside, back turned, was a tall Tails, - a giant one, almost as tall as Omega. And another thing - he was covered in scars, with a metal arm where his right arm should be.

"Hello? SiMTails tried, lowering his wrench.

The giant Tails whipped his head around, moving faster than he should be able to. This strange giant tails didn't look any better from the front, scars across his chest and a prominent one on his face, running down across his eye.

"Huh," MBTails said, looking at SiMTails like he was a curiosity, "You're young. Very young. I've traveled through time?"

SiMTails couldn't help but feel nervous at the giant in his lab. The look in his eye was cold and clinical, without warmth or kindness.

"If... If you're from the future..." SimTails said, "You shouldn't tell me anything that could cause a paradox."

MBTails stepped forwards, reaching out with his metal arm to take hold of SiMTails in an iron grip. Turning the struggling SiMTail's head left, then right, MBTails made a thoughtful him as he looked at his copy with a clinical eye.

"You're young. And rough around the edges," he said, "But you certainly aren't a young version of myself. An alternate version?"

SiM Tails finally pulled himself out of MBTail's grip, "I don't know what you're doing here!" he barked, "But I'm not afraid to fight you!"

"Oh please," MBTails said, voice dripping with bitterness, "I'm willing to bet that you didn't lose your Sonic. Well I'm sorry to say this, but without him around I had to get stronger. Relax, little one. You are in no danger, because you are no threat to me." The last line was said without boast, or threat. It was a statement of fact, like saying the sky was blue, or grass was green.

"I lost my Sonic too." SiMTails said, "So... maybe you are my future. I may not know much... but I know that if Sonic was still here-"

MBTails whipped around, "Don't you dare say his name!" he hissed, furious. "But fine," he said, calm again, "Tell me, how did your Sonic die? How did you fail him?"

SiMTails frowned, determined to hold his ground against this violent version of himself. "I didn't fail him," he insisted, "He just... vanished one day. We looked everywhere, and no one could find him. Not even i could, when I used a machine and GUN satellites to scan the globe for his Chaos signature. He just..." SiMTails hesitated, "He just vanished. Gone without a trace. I don't even have a body to bury."

MBTails' gaze softened, if only a little, "Listen then," he said almost gentle, "If I can give you any advice, you need to be ready. Sonic was a strong warrior who held back a lot of evil. You need to be ready to fight whatever comes crawling out of the woodwork now that your Sonic is gone. Get strong. Get vicious. Gather the Chaos Emeralds, and prepare for war."

"I have my friends." Tails said, confident, "Sonic and I met a lot of people. Blaze. Shadow. Silver. Surge. Amy. Knuckles. Rouge. I have a lot of people I can rely on."

"Are they strong?" MBTails asked, 'Strong enough for what's coming?"

SiMTails smirked, "Four of them are just as strong as Sonic was," he said, "Silver and Surge might be stronger."

MBTails leaned in closer. So close that their noses were almost touching.

"That's not good enough."

And just like that, the tall Tails was gone, leaving SiMTails trembling at the last words of the inter dimensional visitor.

Hey, hey Surge.

Have you heard the rumour that Lanolin has her eyes in a certain beetle?

"What do I care what Woolhead gets up to?" Surge grumbled, "I mean, if she start's dating, why should I care? Or that thing Whisper and Tangle got going on. Or... y'know. Fuck."

Deep inside, Surge felt angry. Everyone got to have a date except her. Everyone got to have their happy ending except her.

Didn't matter. It was gonna take a while, but sooner or later, Surge was gonna get rid of her programming and then she'd get what she wanted.

*body swaps SiM Lanolin and Sang-mi*

Have fun girls!

"Oh come on!" Lanolin in Sang-Mi's body complained, "Don't go messing around with our bodies!"

Sang-MI flexed her arms in disappointment. She was Lanolin's body, but this one didn't have the massive muscles. All in all it was a total letdown - all that was different was that she was shorter. Although...

'Hey!" Lanolin shouted, "Stop playing with my boobs!"

"I'm not playing with them!" Sang-Mi protested, "I'm adjusting them! How do you get anything done with all this weight?"

Lanolin grumbled and crossed her arms, "I don't know how it is that you handle being so tall!" she said, "It's so disorienting."

"By the winds, I'm so tired!" Sang-Mi complained, "When was the last time you got some proper sleep?"

"There's no time to sleep, I have work to do!" Lanolin shot back, "I've got to make sure that the Diamond Cutters are ready to deploy at a moments notice!"

Sang-Mi reached up and undid the ties keeping her wool tied behind her head, letting it settle around her head like a massive cloud. "That's better," she said, "I hate having my quills tied up."

"Hey!" Lanolin shouted, "Don't go messing with my body!"

"But it's not your body right now, is it?" Sang-Mi shot back, "and if I have to live in it, then I'm going to be comfortable. And the first thing I'm going to do is get on a proper dress, these boots are so heavy!"

"Well how am I supposed to get anything done with all this?" Lanolin complained, snatching a hair tie from Sang-Mi, "I can't do anything wearing this heavy cloth! And your quills just get in the way."

----

Some time later, the Diamond Cutters stared at what looked like Sang-Mi in boots, cargo pants, and a tank top - sitting at Lanolin's desk writing paperwork with her quills tied up in a military bun. Meanwhile Lanolin had her wool down and was wearing an elegant black and white dress, sitting on a couch and reading a book while sipping at a cup of tea.

"I have no idea what is going on," Tangle said, "But it's weird as hell."

Surge and Whisper just nodded as Sang-Mi lifted Lanolin's favorite coffee mug and took a hearty drink from it.

[asksonicismissing]

Jade Lanolin and Sang-mi are sitting at a café, the tenrec engrossed with the tales of her sister's bravery when another sheep walks by.

SiM Lanolin walks past one of the many cafés littering Spiral Hill when she spots them. The mysterious tenrec who's been evading her questions along with...an absurdly buff version of herself.

"You there!" she shouted, getting the attention of the two café goers.

SiMLanolin ran up to the group, Sang-Mi and Jade Lanolin jumping as they stared at the thinner Lanolin.

"I'm going to have my answers!" SiMLanolin demanded, "Why are you so interested in my reality? You gave me head pats, you left food for Jewel, and you're going to explain why!"

JLanolin blinked in surprise, "Aren't you the least bit curious about how strong I am?"

SiMLanolin waved her off, "Yeah, alternate universe things, I know. That's not important." SiMLanolin stepped closer and waved a finger under Sang-Mi's face, "Now answer me! What are you doing with my universe!?"

"Okay, that's enough." JLanolin said. Getting up from her chair she stepped behind SiMLanolin and picked her up like she was nothing more than a grape. Holding the struggling SiMLanolin under her armpits she carried her away from Sang-Mi and set her down on the side walk.

"You can come back and ask your questions when you've calmed down." JLanolin said, putting her hands on her hips.

SiMLanolin raised a hand, finger pointing, ready to argue, but JLanolin simply stretched her muscles, the cloth tightening around bulging muscles, tendons coming into sharp definition on JLanolin's powerful body. The display of power made SiMLanolin stop, before she glared hard at her counterpart.

"That's enough," Sang-Mi said, stepping closer, "Listen, all I want to do is spread happiness through the multiverse. I'm not trying to cause trouble."

SiMLanolin sighed as she scratched her head, "That makes sense," she said, "But these inter-dimensional things are a pain in my ass."

"Maybe," Sang-Mi said, "But it's true. Now both of you stop arguing and make up."

JLanolin held out a hand, And SiMLanolin eyed teh hand for a moment before taking it. They shook hands firmly, and then parted. "I just want to know," SiMLanolin said, "What were you two doing here? You're not dating are you?"

"Oh, no," JLanolin said, "I was just telling Sang-Mi stories about my Surge. Maybe you have some?"

"I've only known my Surge for a month and a half," SiMLanolin said, walking with JLanolin and Sang-Mi, "But I'd like to hear your stories. Maybe we can compare notes on Surge."

The three would spend the afternoon talking. Sharing stories and laughing together for hours. All in all, a very nice afternoon.

When SiMLanolin came back to her universe, she was smiling wide, and as she looked around her office a thought popped into her head.

'Maybe I should start working out.'
