Robotropolis: Just Another Heist

[Alien-Child]

Robotropolis, home of the infamous Dr. Eggman who keeps his base in the ruins of this ancient city, living alone with his robots. Few ever journey here willingly, 


among them a certain thief who eyeballed the doctor's lair from aboard his hoverbike. "Alright ol' Doc, let's see what goodies you have for me today."

[AnT]

Getting to main lair will not be easy, though. Hover crafts and Buzzbombers swarmed the skies, and the streets were crawling with Swat-Pawns.

[Alien-Child]

"Eggy sure has beefed up the Defensed since the last time I was here. Goodie, here I thought he was thinking he was getting rusty." Bouncing off his bike, he pressed a button on his belt, activating the cloaking mode for the Marvelous Queen. Getting in and out of Eggman's lair is a stealthy job, it maybe too noisy and limited with a bike. Sides, he'll need it for a get away and can't afford it getting damage should he enter a fight.
Corking his tail, he laid the tip on the roof he stood on. Sitting on his coiled tail, he weigh it down until he lifted off his leg, sending him flying onto the next roof as he started his latest heist.

[AnT]

Meanwhile, somewhere in the streets...

"Gckgeckgckgckgck...!"

It sounded like some kind of bug, in an alley.

Which actually came from a coyote Mobian, shaking beyond belief. But you can't blame him, for he was in one of the most dangerous places on Mobius. And why he, and his partner, were here? Well, some Badniks broke into the science lab, Equinox, stealing this type of liquid metal that is capable of shapeshifting into any form.

[Alien-Child]

"Antoine, calm down, will ya?" Sally said, patting her friend on the shoulder, "You might give us away." That might not have helped much him, but honestly it was the truth. She would have been fine of her own, she wanted to find out what Eggman was planning to use that new liquid and let the world know before its too late.. Course Antoine wouldn't let her go on her own. As much as she enjoys the company, Antoine sometimes worry her.

[AnT]

"Ah n-n-no...my preenzees." Clearing his throat, he huffed his chest to look as brave and manly as possible. "I am...fearing ze condition of ze fiends if zhey dare attack you."

[Alien-Child]

She smiled. It might be just him covering his cowardness, he could really mean, or it could just be both. "Aw 'Toine, that's so nice. but you shouldn't have to worry, I can handle things, no problem." Poking her head from a corner, she squinted her eye when she saw a shadow leaped on the roofs. Sonic? No, he wouldn't resort to sneaking into Eggman's, he'd run right through. Not to many people around would be willing to sneak into- Suddenly her eyes jolted open. Besides her (and by following her, Antoine) would sneak into Robotropolis for a story, there's only one other person she knows who would. "Well 'Toine, looks like we might have found a lead."

[AnT]

"Lead? What iz special about ze lead metal?" he cluelessly asked.

[Alien-Child]

"Yeah, but we won't know exactly where in his city or even the base Robotnik has hidden it." She's never quite sure why Robotnik bothered to rule a huge empty city, but she rather not know what's going on in that mad man's head.

[AnT]

When he said lead, he meant the metal: lead.

Suddenly lightening stuck down on the main tower of Robotropolis.

It scared him so, he latched onto Sally.

[Alien-Child]

"AH!" she cried, trying to pull the coyote off her, "'Toine, I can't see!"

---

"Holy-!" Fang uttered as he almost lost his balance. "Either that just a storm, or Eggy really went into Frankenstein's territory today." He chuckled, "If he ends up shouting out "It's alive" all hammy, I gonna die of laughter."

[AnT]

"It's alive!! It's alive!!!! Ahahahahaha!!! Ahahahaha!!"

That was so loud...

"AAAH!!" Even Antoine heard it.

[Alien-Child]

"That... does not sound good." But, it sounds like a good story. "Let's go!"

---

"Damn, I should have bet money on that." Fang shook his head and continued his trek, "Well, a promise is a promise." Then he started snickering, trying to be low so no bots could hear him.

[AnT]

In a factory-like facility, where there were tanks of molten-like liquid metals, Dr. Eggman stood on a catwalk, in glee, as some machine held up a giant metal box. "Finally!! After all these years, I have perfected my greatest creation; free of it's annoying handicap!"

[Alien-Child]

Having know his way around Robotropolis, Fang managed to squeeze his way through a vent. While he wasn't in the lab yet, he can hear the Doc's gloating. That's right Eggy... keep talking... lead me to the goodies...

[AnT]

The giant box container split open, revealing a robot within one of the halves of the box.

[Alien-Child]

Poking his eyes through a vent, he almost move on until he realized who that robot looked like. "Well, well, Eggy is planning to fight fire with fire, huh? Let's see how that goes."

[AnT]

"Ahahahahaha!!" Excited, like a child, he hopped over to a small computer. Then holographic images of Sonic and his exploits surrounded him. "This time, you'll only be uploaded with Sonic's skills, strategies, and such. Using his life data was a huge mistake. Never again!!!"

[Alien-Child]

So Eggman has done this before. Well, he's not here to spy on Eggman for his latest schemes. Not unless it involves something to steal.
Having heard a lab was robbed by Badniks, he won't be surprised it might have something to do with the latest ploy.

[AnT]

At a fire escape, those like Antoine spied through a window. "I am not likings zhis terrle-ble machine." he shuddered.
