Chapter 5 – A speech and no contact
CUT TO: The village – Evening
The jeep pulled into the village and people began cheering when they saw the lion in the back. Tails smiled as best as he could, but was still saddened. Then the crowd began shouting out in Swahili: ‘The lion is dead!’ And it went throughout the whole village. Tails stopped the jeep and got out. The three men started to go to the hospital. The people began congratulating Sonic and friends for killing the lion, then Tails opened the back for them to see it. He teared up and pulled out Toby’s body who was wrapped in white cloth. Then the whole village went silent as Tails put Toby’s body on a stone table. He got up next to it while the others got on their knees, because a person died.
Tails (in Swahili): Toby Nahum was the greatest man in all of
Then they all began cheering and Sonic yelled ‘Amen.’ Then Tails smiled as he looked out to the crowd that was cheering.
Tails (in Swahili): Spread out to teach others! Start here, then on outwards! God bless you all!!
They continued cheering and Tails went down to Sonic. He hugged him and Sonic hugged Tails. Knuckles smiled as he looked at the crowd cheering.
Knuckles: God’s done so much for us. We need to keep doing what He wants.
Then he looked and saw the sun was setting, everything will be fine.
CUT TO: Center of village – Night
The people are having a celebration for the killing of the lion. There’re tall fires stretching out into the sky with twinkling stars, with a big full moon in the sky. The villagers are dancing and singing in their language and there’re refreshments at the tables. Tails was sitting in a chair, thinking. Sonic came up to him.
Sonic: You enjoying the party?
Tails: Yeah, it’s great.
Sonic: Why the long face?
Tails looked at Sonic and said: 'Sonic, a man died today, one of my best friends; I’m just so shocked and sad about what this lion has done.'
Sonic: Tails, I know how you feel, but you’ve got to move on with your life. You shouldn’t be sad forever. There're many friends that love you and can help with your problems, like me, I care for you, I care for everyone. What you said today was powerful Tails.
Tails: About Toby’s desire?
Sonic: Yes. Think about it, Toby’s in a better place, and we’re still here to spread the Word. As long as you and me and our friends are here, we can reach millions of lives.
Tails smiled and said: ‘Thanks, Sonic. That’s helpful.’
Sonic: Anytime buddy. Now come on and dance!
Then Tails got up and began dancing with the people and he was happy.
FADE OUT: Sonic’s hut – Night
The jeep was rolling to a stop at the hut; the lights were still on though. Tails yawned and got out of the jeep. Then the door to the hut opened and Sally came out.
Sally (smiling): There you are guys.
Sonic: Hi Sal--!
Sonic fell out of the truck onto his face again. Sally giggled and went to Tails.
Sally: How’d it go?
Tails: Went quicker than planned. He’s in the back.
Sally went to go check him out and was amazed of how big he was.
Sally: Tails, this is…
She saw him head into the hut. Knuckles came over to her.
Sally: Is something wrong with Tails?
Knuckles: It was busy today, and, Toby’s dead.
Sally: What?
Knuckles: We had a scramble with the lion and it killed Toby.
Sally: That’s awful.
Nicole came into view.
Nicole: So, that’s the beast?
Sally: Yep.
Nicole: He’s big. I bet he weighs at least 590 pounds.
Sally: Okay, Sonic. It’s time for bed.
Sonic (sleepily): Okay.
Then they headed to the hut.
INT. Tails’ room – Night
Tails is trying to contact Li Moon on his radio but it’s just static.
Tails: Come on. I need to talk to Li Moon.
Then the radio went dead and Tails was sad, he silently weeped for a moment, then he put the radio up and put his 375 rifle up against a wall. He turned off the light and the moon glowed in his room. He then closed his eyes.
CUT TO BLACK
End of chapter 5
AN: Our favorite fox is a bit down, for the loss of Toby and having no contact with Li Moon, you won’t believe the twist in the next chapter! Cliffhanger! Yeah!
