The scene changes to Eggman looking at a monitor and laughing. He types something on the keyboard, and continues laughing.
Dr. Eggman chuckled as he looked at his monitor. "Oh, that is SO true!"
Lilac raised a brow. "What's he laughing at??"
"Probably another one of his 'evil' plans." Sonic snickered,
Orbot yelped as a motobug he was fixing electrocuted him. The force pushed the spherical robot towards Eggman, who glanced at Cubot at the corner of his eye. "Everything okay?"
"Nothing a little solder and a kind word couldn't fix!" Orbot told him.
"Not you, you idiot!" Eggman hissed.
Orbot sighed. "I feel better already..."
"Quit clanking your bolts! I'm chatting with my new buddy! Who, unlike you, is very intelligent." Eggman said.
"New buddy?" Eggman repeated. "What the devil is he..." He paused for a moment before sighing. "Oh no."
Cubot glared at Eggman. "Hey! You told me you forgot the WIFI password! Were you also lying when you said cartoons would rot our... Head... Think... Boxes?"
"Nominatus, meet my hopelessly incompetent robots! Wave at him." Eggman hissed at Orbot and Cubot.
The robots did as they were told and waved.
"So Eggman has another robotic friend?" Tails questioned.
"It would seem like it." Amy said.
Knuckles knew this wasn't going to end well. "And that 'friend' is going to turn on him. Which isn't surprising."
"Pathetic!" Nominatus hissed, and he and Eggman burst into laughter. "LOL!"
Dr. Eggman and Nominatus continue to laugh as Orbot and Cubot skulk off, dejectedly.
Milla frowned. "Poor robots."
Orbot filled up a suitcase, adding a baseball cap, a toothbrush, a photo of himself, Dr. Eggman, and Cubot on a roller coaster, and a baguette. He sighed as he pushed the lid down. "I'm sick of being unappreciated. It's time to venture out on our own!"
"So, is this another episode about those two?" Vector asked.
Eggman facepalmed. "Please, no. I don't think I can handle another one."
"Yeah!" Cubot said. "Can we venture on our own together?"
Shadow groaned. "You did that already and it left a bad taste in my mouth."
"And ears." Spade groused. Remembering the two robots playing 'music'.
"Of course." Orbot smiled. "We'll make new friends!" He flew over to say goodbye to his robot friends. "Motobug, stay strong. Titanium Bee-Bot, keep buzzing the good buzz. And Robot Crab, see a doctor before that thing spreads. A real doctor, not Dr. Eggman."
Over in Dr. Eggman's computer room, the Doctor and Nominatus are still chatting.
"...So I said, "reprogram you? I hardly know you!" Eggman laughed.
Nominatus laughed as well. "That story gets funnier every time you tell it!"
"I know, right?" Eggman said, as he began to type on his console. "Ooh, ooh, before I forget, I want to show you the schematics for the new lair defense system. Prepare to be impressed!"
Orbot and Cubot fly up towards Eggman, suitcases in hands. "Goodbye, boss! We're leaving!" Cubot called out.
"Don't try to talk us out of it!" Orbot said. "He doesn't care about you guys." Knuckles said. Eggman glanced at them. "Huh? No, no, I'm fine. No lunch for me. So, uh, where were we? It's all controlled from the central hub."
"See? Not a care in the world."
Cubot sighed, before flying over to Eggman's desk and taking the mug. Amy frowned slightly. Even though they were leaving Eggman, they still felt some love towards him.
"I painted the access panel purple," Eggman said. "You think it's too much?"
The scene changes to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks sitting at a table. Amy, Knuckles and Sticks are eating burgers and Sonic eating is eating a chili dog. Knuckles let out an annoyed sigh. "Are they seriously going to ask them to let them say stay?" Carol snickered. "Seems like." Orbot and Cubot come up to them. Cubot waved. "Hey, dudes!"
"What are you two doing here?" Sonic grumbled.
"We're hoping for service, despite the fact that we have neither shoes nor shirts." Orbot said.
"What's Eggman up to?" Sonic asked.
"Aw, we're done with Eggman! I swear!" Cubot said. Gong scoffed. "You'll be with him at the end no doubt."
"We'll prove it! By revealing something Eggman wouldn't want you to know!" Orbot added. Eggman growled. This is why he loathed those two robots. They just don't know when to shut up and obey. Sonic chuckled. "You really have the most loyalist robots, Eggy."
Eggman decided to just ignore him.
"Yeah, uh, let's see..." Cubot started listing the things Eggman wouldn't want Sonic and the others to know. "He sleeps with an evil night light, he sings in the shower, there's a hole in the lair's defenses below the-"
Eggman did his best to ignore the laughing around him.
Amy giggled. "Eggman, you sleep with a night light?"
"I-"
Knuckles chuckles. "He even sings in the showers? He probably uses the soap as a microphone."
"Why you-"
Sonic laughed. "What else do you do on your free time, Eggy?"
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"
The blue blur was unfazed by the outburst as he and his friends, as well as most of the audience, laughed, leaving the human to hissed at himself.
"Stop." Sonic cuts him off.
"He's bald!" Cubot exclaimed. "We know!" Sonic exclaimed, still laughing. "They're telling the truth." Sonic said. "I knew about that hole in the lair's defenses."
"And I knew he was bald." Knuckles added.
Amy smiled welcoming the robots. "Alright, you guys can stay.
"Yes!" Cubot cheered happily.
"So, who's up for charades?" Orbot asked. He holds up three fingers and makes a chopping motion on his arm. Awkward silence. The laughter ceased. "Well that killed the mood." Cory said, as she stopped laughing. Rouge wiped tears off her face from the giggling. "I don't want to know what's going on through that robot's head." "Oh, that reminds me, I gotta chop my arm off!" Sonic runs off. It was Eggman's turn to laugh. "That's his excuse?! How ridiculous, rodent!" "Oh, get lost, Egghead!"
"Sonic, you forgot your axe!" Amy yelled. She picks up a pepper dispenser and runs after Sonic. Eggman continued to laugh. "Now that's hilarious!" Amy puffed her cheeks annoyingly. "Be quiet." "I have to go build traps for when you ultimately betray us all." Sticks said as she too ran off. "Crazy but secure." Neera stated. Orbot and Cubot turned to Knuckles. "Sorry, guys, I've gotta go think of an excuse not to hang out with you." Knuckles runs off, leaving Orbot and Cubot to stare at Tails. Knuckles blinked. "Wow... just... wow." Sonic chuckled. "Just be grate that he didn't something stupid." "For now." Shadow reminded them. "Just because this version Knuckles said something... understandable, doesn't mean he won't say anything to annoy us. Especially me."
"...Good point."
The two robots glanced at Tails hopefully. The kit looked nervous. "Uh-oh." Milla frowned. "You know, at least one of you could've stick with him." Amy nodded. "Yeah." She looked at the kit. "Sorry, Tails." "It's okay, Amy. I probably would've done the same thing." Tails paused for a second. "Uh... no offense." Knuckles shrugged. "None taken. After the last episode, our twins probably deserve it."
The scene changes to Tails sitting on the couch as Orbot and Cubot stare at him awkwardly. Tails looks at them, and down at his wrist, which has nothing on it. "Oh, look at the time! I gotta go do something... Somewhere else."
"What should we do in your absence?" Orbot asked.
Cubot nodded. "Yeah, and what're we gonna do when you're gone?"
Tails walks over, holding a laptop computer. He places it on the coffee table and turns it on. "Try this video game! You run, roll, and collect rings as fast as you can!"
"Aw, that sounds terrible!" Cubot complained.
Tails shrugs and walks off. Once Tails has left the house, Orbot and Cubot both grab the computer and begin to fight over it.
"Rock-Donut-Thursday?" Cubot suggested as they stopped fighting. Orbot and Cubot put down the computer. "Rock-Donut- What?" Torque wondered what that meant. Milla scratched her chin. "Do they mean 'Rock-Paper-Scissors'?" "Rock, donut, Thursday, shoot!"
The two robots both extend their hands. Cubot is making an "O"-shape with his thumb and forefinger, while Orbot has clenched his hand into a fist. The puppy giggled. "Yep."
"I win!" Orbot declared. "Rock smashes donut!"
Cubot frowned. "No, no! Donut makes rock delicious!" Carol blinked. "If the donut makes rock delicious, wouldn't-" Carol rubbed her head. "I'm so confused. 'Or not the only one." Knuckles said.
Orbot and Cubot glare at each other and continue fighting over the computer. Suddenly, the laptop makes a sound, causing them to place it on the floor. "Virus detected. Virus detected." "Virus detected?" Tails repeated. "But how?" "I think we're about to find out." Lilac said. Orbot types something into the computer, and the screen cuts to a feed of Dr. Eggman's Lair. Dr. Eggman is nowhere to be found, but Nominatus is still on the screen. Nominatus glances around, pulls up the defense schematics for the lair, and hacks into the system while cackling evilly. Nominatus then takes control of Burnbot, a Moto Bug, a Bee Bot, and a Crab Bot, causing their eyes to turn red. Knuckles scoffed. "Figures." "I'm pretty sure most of us saw that coming." Shadow retorted. Nominatus continues to chortle, but then hears Dr. Eggman returning, and relinquishes control of the robots. Dr. Eggman walks into the room, stretches, and yawns. "You were right! I did need an evil nap!" Eggman groaned. "Stop. Just... please stop talking."
Nominatus looks at the Doctor, then emits a speech bubble with a smiley face emoticon in it. "Oh! We've got to go warn Dr. Eggman!" Orbot shrieked. The two robots run off. Cubot returns, picks up Eggman's coffee mug from the table, and leaves again.
Orbot and Cubot come rushing into the computer room.
"Dr. Eggman! Your friend is evil!" Orbot warned the human. "You guys need a better reason than that." Espio said. Vector nodded. "Yeah, mean you tried to warn an evil person that another evil person is evil, that's not an excuse." Eggman shrugged. "Yeah? So am I. Goes with the territory of being an evil genius." "Exactly my point."
Eggman and Nominatus cackle to each other.
"He's plotting against you!" Orbot told him. "Now that's an excuse for a reason."
"And he stole your coffee mug!" Cubot paused before bringing out the mug. "...Which I then found, and am not lying about right now!"
A laser hits the coffee mug, shattering it.
"Who fired my laser?" Eggman asked.
A wall-mounted laser begins firing at Orbot and Cubot.
"Your underlings are correct!" Nominatus said as he appeared on the screen. "You should never have trusted me! Now I've taken complete control of your lair!"
"But I love my lair!" Eggman wined. "It's where I do all my lair things!" Sonic snickered. "I mean, he's not wrong." "Clam it, rodent." "Your world is so illogical, so messy! I'm eliminating all life forms! And I'm using your tech to do it!" Nominatus stated.
A Moto Bug, a Bee Bot, and a Crab Bot, all under Nominatus' control, run into the room. "Robot Crab, I told you to see a doctor!" Orbot scolded. "Now you've got pink eye, too!"
The lair's alarm goes off as Dr. Eggman frantically attempts to regain control. Nominatus laughs evilly, and a skull-and-crossbones symbol appears on the screen. The robots draw closer to Orbot and Cubot, and Orbot grabs Cubot and runs away.
"Wait, come back! I'm in a vulnerable emotional state!" Eggman yelled. "Now he cares for his robots?" "I mean, normally you would since you've-" "Rodent, for the last time. Be. Quiet." Nominatus cackles gleefully as Dr. Eggman looks around, panicking.Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Sticks are sitting at a table, drinking milkshakes. Suddenly, Orbot and Cubot come running towards them.
"An evil virus is taking control of Eggman's lair, and he's about to destroy the entire world!" Cubot frantically warned them.
Sticks looked doubtful and put her hands on her hips. "And why should we believe you?"
Cubot answered her by pointing up. In the sky is Eggman, in his Eggmobile screaming, desperately fleeing from his beebots.
"Because of that." Amy responded.
"That'll work." Sticks said, believing Cubot.
Team Sonic jumps into action as Eggman lands the Eggmobile. The Doctor emerges from the hovercraft and attempts to hide behind Sonic. The swarm of Bee Bots draws closer, and Sonic attempts to hit them with a . Team Sonic begins fighting off the Bee Bots, who have begun a full-on assault.
"How many of these things are there?" Sonic asked, as he smashed the beebots with an homecoming attack.
"Too many!" Eggman answered. "We need to go directly after the virus."
"You mean like a cyber attack?" Amy asked.
"I can do that from my computer! Hold them off as long as you can!" Tails said. Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, and Sticks continue to fight the Bee Bots as Tails, Dr. Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot run into Tails' Workshop.
"Yeah, and no slacking! I'll be back to check on you when the battle's over!" Cubot said. Inside the workshop, Tails opens the computer. A loud pinging sound is heard. "Ooh! I've got mail!"
"And you're the smart one." Eggman told him. "I'm smarted than you." "I would love for you to test that theory, foxy." Tails typed on his computer and frowned. "It's no good! I can't neutralize the virus from outside your firewall!"
"We need to get inside the computer. But there's no way to do that!" Eggman said.
"There is, if you have an artificial brain!"
Orbot and Cubot jump back in surprise. "He's gonna use Orbot and Cubot?" Silver asked. "Is that a good idea?"
Blaze sighed. "There's no choice, Silver. Even when they're... not that smart, at least they could help their doctor."
"They're artificial, but they don't have a brain between them." Outside, Team Sonic is fending off the Bee Bots. Back in the workshop, Orbot and Cubot are hooked up to Tails' computer.
Soon, Orbot and Cubot laid down next to each other, wires on their heads. Cubot glanced up curiously. "Is this massage Swedish or deep-circuit?" An electric shock goes through Cubot, causing him to twitch. "Ooh, shiatsu!" Cream blinked. "What does-" "It's a massage, Cream." Lucy quickly answered. "Oh."
Cubot passes out as Tails transfers the two robots' brains into the digital world. Tails' computer screen displays several wireframes and other digital imagery, and pixellated versions of Orbot and Cubot fall down from the sky into a pixellated landscape. Orbot looked at Cubot. "Cubot, might I say, you look dashing in sixteen-bit!" "Actually, it's seventeen-bit!" Cubot corrected him. Tails squinted his eyes. "I can't tell which is which." Milla hummed. "Maybe it's 18 bit." "...Uhhh, yeah. Let's leave it at that."
A large robotic fish resembling a comes up to Cubot and gnashes its teeth. Orbot and Cubot run away from the robot, which chases after them, continuing to gnash its teeth. Outside, Team Sonic is attempting to fight the Bee Bots. Knuckles punches one of the robotic insects, smashing it to pieces. He grinned. "Next time, you should "bee" more careful!" The audience groaned. "Leave the puns to me, Knux." "Like your's are any good, Sonic." "They're go-"
"No they're not."
Amy gave the echidna an annoyed look. "That wasn't funny the first sixty-seven times you said it." A Crab Bot saunters over to Amy, and she crushes it with her hammer. Knuckles smirked. "Next time, he should "crab" more careful!" "Okay now he's just pissing me off." Knuckles groused.
"Language." Amy scolded.
"Yeah, yeah."
The pinkette furrowed her eyes. "Okay, now you're just trying to annoy me." Shadow rolled his eyes. "He's annoying everybody."
Back in the digital world, Orbot and Cubot are running through the digital landscape and come across a digital version of Tails' plane.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Orbot asked.
"Yeah, what if the Princess is in another castle?" Cubot questioned. "Just like with Peach." Sonic mumbled. Speaking of, he wondered how Mario and the others are doing.
Orbot looked annoyed. "Get in the plane!"
Orbot pulls Cubot into the digital plane, and it takes off. Back in the real world, Tails' Plane also takes off. Orbot and Cubot make the digital plane do a barrel roll, which causes the plane to do the same in the real world. The plane flies back down towards Tails' Workshop, nearly avoiding running into Knuckles and Amy.
Orbot and Cubot do another barrel roll, causing the real plane to knock Sticks out of a tree. In the digital world, Orbot and Cubot crash the plane into a tree, causing it to explode in a cloud of smoke. The two fall out of the plane, collect themselves, and continue down the path. They enter a digital arcade, which has a bright red button in the center of the room.
"Button!" Cubot claimed excitedly.
Orbot presses the button, causing Burnbot to activate its jet boosters and fly off into the sky. Large brick walls appear around Orbot and Cubot and begin closing in. The duo tries to push the walls away, but to no avail.
Back in the real world, Orbot and Cubot's bodies start to twitch as Burnbot lands in front of Team Sonic. Cubot hops up and down on the button, causing Burnbot to fire lasers from its eyes. As the walls are about to close in on Orbot and Cubot, the two dejectedly attempt to push the walls one final time.
"Any last words, friend?" Orbot asked, still trying to push the walls back.
Cubot nodded. "Yes! Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start!" Amy blinked. "What does that-"
A beeping sound is heard, and the floor beneath Orbot and Cubot disappears, dropping the two into the area where Nominatus is stationed. "-mean?" The pinkette blinked once more. "That actually worked?" Eggman asked, surprised.
Shadow glanced at him. "And you're surprised?"
"...Not really." Nominatus laughs maniacally as a burst of flame appears behind him, and gets into a fighting pose.
Cubot shook his head, scared. "I ain't fightin' him!"
"Neither am I!" Orbot added, as he too was scared. "Pussies." Shadow mumbled. *SLAP* "ARGH! Shadow glared at Amy as he rubbed his head. "The hell's you're problem?!"
"You and your filthy mouth that's what!" Amy scowled. "How many times have me and Lilac told you?! Language!"
Shadow grumbled. "Whatever."
Nominatus laughs once again and beckons for the robots to face him. Cubot glances at Orbot. "Rock-Donut-Thursday?"
The two robot started circling each other, playing the game. "Rock, donut, Thursday, shoot!" Eggman wondered why he created these two in the first place. They're seriously playing that stupid game while the world is in danger?! If there is a god, strike him down please! Cubot makes another "O" shape with his fingers, while Orbot displays an open palm. "I win! Donuts are half-price on Thursday!" Cubot exclaims happily.
Nominatus drops his fighting stance and looks on in confusion, a speech bubble with an upside-down question mark and exclamation mark appearing beside his head.
Orbot shook his head. "No, the donut store's closed on Thursday!" "The world's in danger and you guys are seriously playing that stupid game?! Do something already!" Amy shouted. Knuckles pinched the bridge of his nose. "Save your breath. It's no use." Silver frowned. "Hey! That's my line!" "Sorry."
Nominatus continues his confusion, with another speech bubble with hand performing the "Thursday" sign popping up next to him, followed by a hand doing the "donut" sign. "This game... It makes no sense!" "Nothing in that world makes sense." Spade retorted.
Back in the real world, a swarm of Bee Bots attempts to surround Sonic, but the hedgehog dashes out of the way. The swarm begins to circle around Sonic, trapping him.
"Rock, donut, Thursday, shoot!" Both Orbot and Cubot yelled in unison. They extend their hands again, with Orbot performing the "rock" sign while Cubot performs the "Thursday" sign.
"Rock smashes Thursday!" Orbot explained.
"You can't use Thursday! It's not an object!" Nominatus said.
"Ooh, nice move! But you forgot about Leap Year!" Orbot smiled.
"Logical reasoning impossible... Game incredibly stupid... Too stupid... Fatal error..." Nominatus couldn't process what was going on, in an instant his head exploded.
All the robots attacking Tails' Workshop deactivate and fall to the ground. Torque widened his eyes. "Wow. That actually worked." "Whatever. I'm just glad it's over." Knuckles was losing too much brain cell over this. Dr. Eggman and Tails cry out in joy and hug each other, but realize what they are doing, stop, and walk away awkwardly whistling. Tails and Eggman glanced at each other. "Never." "Never." Orbot regains consciousness and gets up. "Once again, I've led us to victory!"
"Hey! There's no "I" in "multiplayer"!" Cubot snapped at Orbot. Tails, Eggman, Orbot and Cubot emerge from the workshop, coming face-to-face with Team Sonic.
Eggman crosses his arms. "So, I guess we should fight?"
"No! Just leave!" Eggman yelled, wanting to be over soon.
"Eh, I'm all fight-ed out." Sonic uttered. "Yeah, I agree with, Eggface on this one." The blue speedster said.
"Me too." Eggman said as he walked off. "I'm going home to prepare a new diabolical plan," He stops and points at Orbot and Cubot. "While you give me a sponge bath!"
Orbot and Cubot huddle together and shudder in disgust. Amy shuddered as well. "No wonder they left, that sounds horrible." Tails glanced at the doctor. "You let you robots bathe you, Eggman?" Eggman agreed with the pinkette. Being bathe?! He was not a baby! "Absolutely, not!" "As for you, I will destroy you! Mmm... Let's see..."The evil doctor pulls out a black and red schedule book with his logo on it, flipping through the pages. "How about next week? Does next week work for you?" Lilac blinked. "Why does he have that?" Carol shrugged. "Maybe he and Sonic are frenemies? "No we're not!"
Sonic hummed, looking at a blue notepad that is shaped like his head. "Yeah, I'm open." Rouge giggled. "Are you sure you're not-"
"I will pluck your wings out if you don't zip it, bat." Eggman warned.
"Great! Destroy you then." Eggman said. He boards the Eggmobile and takes off. Orbot and Cubot grab onto the bottom of the hovercraft, and the three of them fly off.
Knuckles was relieved. "Thank you."
"Finally, it's over." Eggman said.
"This episode did not make any sense." Spade groused.
"None of these episodes make any sense." Shadow retorted. He looked at Theo and Lucy. "You can go ahead play the next episode."
"Okay." Lucy nodded and played the next episode.
