The scene starts off with Sonic, Knuckles, Sticks, and Amy watching a movie together. When the movie was finished, Amy switched it off.

"I like that movie," Sonic told her. "But the beginning was kind of slow."

"Sonic, to you, everything is slow."

"It's not my fault that everything isn't as fast as me, Ames."

"You can always fast forward, you know." Tails suggested.

"He could," Knuckles began, "But he would barely understand the words."

"Just like how we barely understand him." Shadow grumbled.

"You're just as fast as me, Shads." Sonic replied.

"True, but I always take my time on certain things, faker."

"Sonic, you just don't understand how movies and TV shows work." Amy said.

The pinkette nodded.

"They always have a little filler material before someone bursts in to get the real story started."

Just as Amy said it, Tails burst into the room, hiding something behind his back, a grin on his face. "You guys!" He said. "Check out my new invention!"

"What is it." Milla asked, curious.

"A super-Antenna!" Tails exclaimed, holding out his invention. "It's so strong that when you hook it to a TV, it picks up broadcasts from the past!"

"That sounds pretty cool." Torque grinned.

"Pretty lame if you ask me."

"Scourge, keep your opinion to yourself." Sonic retorted.

"Don't lecture me, blue. Just like your twin, you could barely understand the fox."

The blue hero wince, but didn't back down. "At least I'm trying, alright?"

Fiona scoffed. "Yeah. Trying to be a failure as a brother.

"And you're a failure as a queen with no power or control." Amy shot back, defending Sonic.

The female fox snarled, but her boyfriend held her back. "Ignore her babe, she and her 'boyfriend' are just jealous that they can't stand up to our level."

Knuckles humped. "As if anyone would ever."

Tails turned on the TV. "This hour of radio is sure to get your toes a-tapping. Brought to you by lead-based paint, and asbestos. The perfect combination for your baby's nursery."

"Can it play music from our childhood?" Amy asked.

Amy railed a brow. "They have their own childhood music too?"

Knuckles looked at her. "Too??"

"When I was kid I used to play music to help keep me motivated."

Carol smirked. "Guess I'm not the only one, huh."

"It will in about 80 years!" Tails answered.

Knuckles, Sonic, and Sticks groaned.

Torque cringed. "Rough crowd."

"Great job, Tails," Sonic said sarcastically.

Lilac shook her head. "And a little mean."

"I think it's a useful invention!" Knuckles said.

"Thanks, Knuckles!" Tails said happily.

Knuckles knew what was coming. "Wait for it."

Knuckles stood up and grabbed the Antenna from the TV and started scratching his back with it. "It makes a great backscratcher!"

"There it is."

"C'mon Knux, at least he thinks it's good for something."

"Don't patronize him, Sonic."

"Not bad, Knuckles!" Sticks snickered.

Sonic smirked. "Looks like there's another inventor in town!" He declared.

The red echidna grinned proudly.

"Oh no." Eggman groused.

Knuckles nodded in agreement.

The scene changes to Tails' Workshop as the kit is busy working on an invention when Knuckles shows up.

"Hey, fellow inventor!" Knuckles smiled, walking up to Tails, hiding something behind his back.

Tails turned to him, hammer in hand. "Knuckles. I'm kind of busy right now..."

"You're friends with my twin. You will never have the time to be busy."

"See that light switch over there?" Knuckles asked, pointing to a light switch. "It sure is far away, huh?"

"Uh-huh?"

"There's got to be a better way." Knuckles said, pulling out his invention, which was really a rock tied to a stick. "Now, there is! With "Remote 2000"." He moved his invention over to the light switch and started flicking it on and off, on and off. Knuckles turned to Tails with a smile. "Pretty sweet, huh?"

Tails was unconvinced. "Uh huh..."

Amy was dumbfounded. "It's just a stick..."

"...tied to a rock." Torque finished

"And he used it to flip the switch." Cory added flatly.

"Which is kinda dumb." Manic deadpanned.

"Kinda??" It was pretty clear to Knuckles that no one truly understood his twin. Which isn't really surprising. "He just used a stick to flip a switch."

And it wasn't really that far away." Carol pointed out. "He literally could've just walked towards it. It was like what? Five feet away?"

Eggman scoffed. "Some inventor."

"It sure is...something," Tails said awkwardly.

"Yeah, well, now that I'm a bonafide inventor, I figured we can collaborate!" Knuckles grinned at Tails. "You can learn from me, and uh, who knows, I might even learn something from you."

Spade rolled his eyes. "You could barely read a mere book, and already you think you're the smartest."

"I doubt it," Tails said. "Inventing takes dedication. Tenacity, stick-to-itiveness, perseverance, a good thesaurus, and..."

"What's that?" Knuckles asked, pointing to Tails' fly swatter.

"See my point?"

"Oh, that's my Fly Swatter. It homes in on insects and..."

"Neat. Can I invent that?"

"What? No, I already invented it. You're looking right at it."

"Gotcha. Can I invent this?" Knuckles asked, pointing to a turkey sandwich.

Tails frowned. "That's a turkey sandwich."

Sonia nodded. "And you can't 'invent' it. You cook it."

"Interesting... I know! I could invent a device that cuts things - The "Scissors 2000". Ooh, or how about a machine to brown bread - the "Toaster 2000"?"

"Is he just gonna add 2,000 in everything he says?" Eggman questioned.

"Pretty much." Shadow replied.

"You sure you don't have someplace else you have to be?" Tails snapped, fed up with Knuckles.

"Nope. It's just you and me, all day. It's a little thing I invented called "Friendship 2000"." Knuckles said, wrapping an arm around Tails.

The kit groaned in annoyance.

"We feel your pain, kid." Eggman said, agreeing with Tails annoyance towards the echidna.

When Tails told his friends the story, Amy laughed. "He tried to invent a turkey sandwich?"

"That was one of his better ideas." Tails told the pinkette. "How do I tell him he's not an inventor without hurting his feelings?"

"Just tell him." Anti-Tails called out with a blank expression. "It's not like he's gonna end his friendship with you. After seeing his character, I can tell he doesn't have enough brain cells to even be genuinely mad at you."

"Clearly you haven't seen the episode when Baker showed up." Shadow mumbled.

Sonic smiled at him. "Don't worry. He'll get over this "inventor phase" before you know it."

However, Knuckles showed up, excitement on his face. "Tails, you've gotta see this!" He cried, holding a poster in his hand.

Knuckles rolled his eyes. "You were saying?"

Knuckles turned to the others. "Oh, sorry guys. Inventor stuff. You wouldn't understand."

"You were saying...?" Tails muttered to Sonic.

"Check it out: Robot Battle Royal. It's an anything-goes tournament for inventors to test their mettle with metal-on-metal action!"

"So he and Tails are going to enter a tournament, where they make robots of their own and compete against each other?" Amy questioned.

"Pretty much." Sonic answered.

"He's gonna lose." Eggman said. "Poorly."

"Obviously." Spade replied. "He's not a scientist."

Knuckles looked at Tails. "You in?" He asked.

"Uhhh, I don't know, Knuckles. Not sure that's the best use of my time." Tails said.

"Yeah." Milla said in agreement. "I don't think Tails is the type of person to enter a tournament without a reason."

"Too bad the echidna is taunting him into entering." Gong reminded.

"Oh, I get it. You're chicken!" Knuckles taunted.

"OOOH!" Sonic, Sticks, and Amy teased.

"Oh, no he didn't." Amy chuckled.

"Oh yes he did!"

"Carol..."

"Sorry Lilac, got caught up in the moment."

"Why are they taking his side?!" Amy shouted in disbelief. "They should already know that Knuckles isn't even an inventor!"

"They're idiots, Amy." Knuckles pointed out.

"I know, but still..."

"I'm not chicken." Tails protested. "I just don't have anything to prove."

"My thoughts exactly." Milla said, nodding."

"Oh, that's all right, Tails. It's gotta be tough knowing there's a new hotshot inventor in town and, you're just yesterday's news." Knuckles taunted further.

"OOOH!" Sticks, Sonic, and Amy teased once again.

The scientist in the theater felt a little insulted.

"Knuckles The Echidna!" Amy scolded.

"I feel like that was a little un-called for." Even Eggman was starting to take Tails' side. This once.

Milla was upset. "How could he say something like that?? That's his friend he's insulting!"

Torque frowned a bit, feeling a bit sorry for Tails. "He's definitely gonna lose."

"And I'm gonna cheer so loudly." Sonic groused angrily. Different dimension or not, nobody insults his little bro like that!

"Knuckles, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm really not interested."

"Not interested in losing... to me!"

"Boom!" Sonic snickered.

"Shot fired!" Amy grinned.

"Dang, son!" Sticks squealed.

"You three... SHUT UP!!!" Amy hissed. She jabs her finger at Knuckles' twin. "And you sir are gonna lose!!"

"That's IT!" Tails snapped angrily. He turned to Knuckles. "Knuckles, you're not an inventor. You just add the number 2000 to the end of things that already exist. If you want to be embarrassing in front of everybody in this competition, then fine, I accept your challenge."

Sonic, Amy, and Sticks cheered.

"Heck yeah!" Carol cheered. "He's gonna kick your butt!"

Lilac looked at her.

"I'm on Tails' side of course!"

"Let me ask you guys a question." Knuckles said. "Are you tired of beating turkey and bread in separate bites?"

Everyone decided to ignore that.

The scene changes outside a tent where the competition is being set up. Mayor Fink walks down the red carpet and analyzes the participants and their robots, looking at Child Monkey's robot first. "Nice!"

"It's sad that the kid's gonna lose his toy."

Everyone murmured, agreeing with Eggman.

The mayor continues walking until he spots Dave the Intern's robot. "Impressive!"

Tails narrowed his eyes. "Is that... a pinball machine??"

Carol chuckled. "It looks like he's gonna pin himself to the losing area, rolling into a ball crying!"

Everyone cringed at that joke, with Cory saying, "Really sis?"

"Yeah, telling jokes is how I roll!" Sonic laughed at that joke.

Everyone cringed again.

Mayor Fink continues walking until he spots Knuckles' robot, the Vacuu-Fan 2000. Torque blinked. "What is that??"

"It looks like a cardboard box with two vacuums sticking together with duct tapes." Lilac examined. "And a fan behind it's back."

"I changed my mind, the echidna is losing. First round." Eggman said. He could tell that hunk of junk lacks the proper abilities to fight. It looks very fragile and he doubts it could even move an inch.

"They can't all be winners..." Mayor Fink comment. He walks away until he spots Tails' robot, Hypnobot. "Oh! That's quite the robot you got there, Tails."

Amy smiled proudly. "Yes indeed."

Tails smiled. "Thanks. Hypnobot's able to take control of any opposing robot within a hundred feet, Mr. Mayor." "OH yeah, your twin is definitely losing, Knuckles." "And I have no remorse for him."

Mayor Fink chuckled. "Oh, please! Mr. Mayor's my father. You can just call me Mayor." Suddenly the ground starts to shake and Eggman and his robot approach.

The human genius sighed. Of course his twin was joining in. Figures. He saw Shadow glancing at him. "Don't." "A robot brawl!" Eggman exclaimed. "Finally, some culture in this town." Tails glared at the doctor. "Eggman!"

"Oh please. Eggman is my father. You can just call me Dr. Eggman."

Sonic deadpanned. "We call you both."

"Time to get started!" Mayor Fink announced. "I'm going to need the override codes for both of your robots."

All the participants hand over their override codes to Mayor Fink. With all the codes collected, he locks them up in a safe. He puts a key inside a cannonball onto the cannon. He lights up the fuse and the cannon fires, shooting the cannonball far away into the sea.

"But what if you need the override codes?" Tails asked, curious and confused.

"Oh, that wasn't the key to the locked box."

"What???" Lilac said, confused

"Is he saying that he doesn't have the keys to the codes?" Carol questioned, dumbfounded.

"Of course not." Spade deadpans.

Inside the tent, the mayor stands on the stage facing the audience. "Tonight, you'll see the finest, most technically advanced, modern marvel ever to grate our fair town."

Everyone is silent, not convinced.

"Warm crowd." Tails murmurer.

"And they're going to smash each other to bits!"

The audience cheered.

"That seemed to egg them on." Sonic grinned. "There's no reason why they shouldn't go to a royale if there isn't any.

"Now, without any further ado, let's get ready to watch what's going to happen!"

Tails and Dave the Intern's robots are being introduced first. The buck-tooth beaver glares at the kit "Prepare to get fries with that!" He threatened and started firing his machine. The weapon on his robot starts firing pellets shaped as fries towards Hypnobot. Tails robot perfectly dodges the incoming fries and fires a laser back to Dave's robot, which malfunctions and breaks down.

The crowd cheered.

Scourge gave a blank look. "Fries?? Seriously??"

"YOU GO TAILS!" Amy screamed excitedly.

"Meh.." Sonic sighed.

"Really Sonic?" Amy glanced at the blue blur.

"It's the first round, Ames." Sonic shrugged. "The real battle might begin soon."

Knuckles scoffed. "The real battle?? Sonic, you've forgotten that Tails and Eggman are the only ones with experience, while the rest are just imbeciles."

Sonic's smile brightened when he saw a Chilidog seller walking up. "YEAH!" He smiled, taking a chili dog. "Can I get fries with that?"

Tails chuckled. "Or maybe he was just bored that his chili-dog day was cancelled."

Stratford and Eggman are introduced next.

Eggman let out a chuckle as his huge robot loomed over Stratford's smaller robot. The walrus' hippo robot fires pellets from its nostrils, the pellets do no damage to Eggman's robot, who answers back with a quick laser beam, incinerating the robot in the process.

Eggman laughed victoriously.

Boos emerged from Sonic, Amy, Sticks and the rest of the crowd

Storm was confused. "Why are they booing at him?? Didn't he win??"

Jet sighed. "He's a villain, Storm. Of course they're gonna show show negativity at him."

"...But he still won though, right??"

The hawk decided to not argue and just nodded.

Comedy Chimp and Lady Goat turned up next. Comedy Chimp's robot plays a tune with the cymbals. Lady Goat's robot dances to it and barks in delight.

Amy cooed at the puppy. "Aww! It's so cute!" The pinkette squealed.

Suddenly Lady Goat's robot charges into Comedy Chimp's robot and quickly eliminates it. Comedy Chimp groans in disappointment.

Neera scoffed. "Cute and dangerous."

Carol chuckled. "Like you, Scary Lady?"

Neera growled

"I was just joking, jeez."

The Final entrants are Child Monkey and Knuckles, the fans cheering on Knuckles who loads up Vacuu-Fan 2000. "Come on, Vacuu-Fan 2000. Show 'em what you're made of!"

The robot tries to ram its way towards Child Monkey's robot, but misses the target and crashes and breaks to pieces on the arena's wall.

"That's not what I meant!" Knuckles hissed.

"Congratulations, Knuckles." Sonic gave a cheeky grin. "Your twin saved himself before anyone else could eliminate him."

"For once... I agree with you."

The next round sees Dr. Eggman and Lady Goat's robots compete against each other first. Lady Goat's robot barks and backflips around, much to the delight of Amy. Eggman's robot retaliates with a single punch, tossing the robot through the tent in the process, much to Amy's disappointment.

"Aww..." Cream sighed sadly, and Shadow pattered her on the head comfortingly.

Child Monkey's robot and Tails' Hypnobot shows up next. Hypnobot fires a laser, which causes the opposing robot to spin its head, perform a backflip and fall to the ground.

"This is it!" The Mayor said. "The final battle!"

Scourge was relieved. "Finally, we're almost towards the end."

Sonic smirked. "And it looks like Tails is about to beat Eggman."

Eggman's robot made one move towards Tails' robot. Suddenly, the kit's invention powers down.

"Huh?? What happened??" Milla was confused to why Tails' robot stopped.

"You don't think he forgot to charge it up?" Cosmo asked.

"That's impossible." Sure his twin might be... different, but Tails was confident he would never leave his robot powerless.

Tails panicked and ran onto the stage, trying to figure out what was wrong with his robot. "Come on! No! No! Not now!"

Eggman laughed, standing beside his robot. "You built that robot to take control of other robots. But now your robot-controlling robot is being controlled." He displays his override code to Tails

"Well that took a turn." Spade mumbled.

"How did you get the override code?" Tails demanded.

"What kind of a question is that?" Eggman groaned.

Eggman held up a safe. "Made by Eggman Industries."

"...Forget I said anything."

Eggman's robot launched itself into the air and with one flick of his finger, Tails' robot toppled to the ground. The human genius' robot

The Mayor turned to the audience. "Well, that was underwhelming. But in the grand scheme of evil Eggman plan, I think we got out of this one pretty unscathed."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

Tails blinked. "Is it weird that most might agree with him too."

The theater was collective 'yes' and 'maybe'.

Eggman turned to Tails. "Oh, by the way, Tails. Now that I've taken control of your robot-controlling robot, I'm going to your workshop to take control of all your other robots!"

"I don't really have robots," Tails pointed out. "I have inventions."

"Same difference." Shadow, Eggman and Spade chorused.

"I know that, but it sounds better my way." Eggman ran off the stage with Tails' robot under his arms, followed by his own robot. He jumps into his Eggmobile and flies away.

"We gotta go after him. Has anyone seen the key to the Mayor-cycle?" The mayor asked.

Everyone ignores the mayor because... what could he possibly do??

The scene changes to Tails' Workshop where all of Tails' robots are being taken over by Eggman's, including Hypnobot. Sonic, Tails, Sticks, Knuckles, and Amy hide behind boxes as they watch Eggman have Tails' robot take complete control of all the other robots.

"We gotta get that Hypnobot away from Eggman," Sonic said. "Tails... I-I don't know... invent something!"

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Knuckles said. "Inventors stick together. Ooh. Note to self: "Inventors' Glue 2000"."

Tails cringed. "If he glues my twin and himself, that's gonna get weird."

Knuckles agreed.

Eggman's robot turns and discover the members of Team Sonic. Sonic, Sticks and Amy emerge out to battle. The rest of the robots stare down, ready for battle.

"Maybe we should make a..." Knuckles tried.

"No." Tails interrupted.

"..or try to build a..."

"No! Please let me think. I'm the inventor here!"

"Maybe you are. But at least I didn't program any override codes into my Vacuu-Fan 2000. And believe you me, I was tempted. Eh, but I didn't know how."

Tails turned to Knuckles excitedly. "That's it! Knuckles, you're a genius!"

"Yes, I are!" Knuckles grinned.

"Don't you see?" Tails sighed in annoyance.

"I'm a genius, not a visionary." Knuckles pointed out.

Rouge giggled, glancing at the red echidna. "It looks to me that your robot isn't totally useless, Knuckie."

Knuckles sighed. "Well, lucky me."

"Aren't you at least thrilled?"

"No."

"Your invention doesn't have robot AI. It's too stupid to be affected by Hypnobot!" Tails explained.

"That's rude." Tails comment. "But other than that, it's a genius plan."

"For a stupid robot." Fiona mumbled.

"Stupid? Or... murder?" Knuckles said darkly. Dramatic music plays as the camera closes in on the echidna's face.

Amy was taken back. "That got dark all of a sudden..."

"Uh..." Tails frowned, and then smiled. "Go get your robot! We've work to do!"

As the two run off, Sonic, Amy and Tails continue to fight of against Eggman's robots. Amy hammers a Crab Bot, Sticks takes down a Bee Bot with her boomerang, and Sonic bounces onto a Motobug and destroys it.

"Not that I understand, but can you explain the plan one more time? Because I don't understand." Knuckles said.

Tails glared at him from inside the invention. "Since Vacuu-Fan 2000 can't be controlled remotely, it's the only robot that can get me close enough to regain control of Hypnobot." He turned around and began walking the bot towards the fight.

Knuckles sniffed, shedding a tear. "My baby's all grown up!"

Tails cringed. "I'm gonna ignore that."

Knuckles nodded. "Smart move."

"What's this?" Eggman asked, noticing Vacuu-Fan 2000 waddling up. "Nurbles' robot is joining my army! Welcome, Welcome!"

Amy was about to smash Tails and Knuckles' invention with her hammer.

"No don't!!" Milla and Cosmo shouted.

Knuckles was quick to tackle the pinkette to the ground, yelling, "NOOO!"

Milla and Cosmo sighed in relief.

Amy turned to him suspiciously.

The echidna chuckled sheepishly. "It's...er...my first robot!"

Gong rolled his eyes. "Lame excuse, but no doubt she'll buy it."

"Aww, you sentimental son of a gun." Eggman cooed as he walks to the hedgehog and echidna on the ground. "I remember my first robot. His name was and..." He stopped, before frowning. "I don't have time for this. I'm finally defeating Sonic and nothing is gonna stop me!"

"You just jinxed yourself. Also," Sonic glanced at the human doctor. "Eggy, your used to have a-"

"Quiet pincushion."

When Tails got close enough to his robot, he walked out of Knuckles' robot and up to his own.

Eggman scowled. "Hey! You can't do that! I already declared victory!"

Scourge scoffed. "Some victor. Sonic and the other are still alive."

"I doubt the show will allow that." Shadow replied.

"I would."

Tails loads up Hypnobot, who emits lasers towards five of Eggman's robots. Tails smirked. "Hypnobot! Make them dance!"

"Wait what??" Most of the audience said.

The five robots, under the control of Tails, join together and dance to some disco music. The Motobugs and Crab Bots join in, circulating the group.

"I can't watch this anymore!" Eggman wailed, running into his mobile and flying away from the scene.

"I don't blame him." Knuckles admitted. "That dancing was pretty ridiculous."

"Hey, at least Tails saved the day." Amy defended the fox.

Fiona raised a brow. "How?? By making the robots performing some stupid dance routine??"

"What else was he suppose to do."

Anti-Tails gave a deadpan look. "Oh I don't know, maybe perhaps letting them self-destruct?"

The pinkette blinked. "Oh..."

"Great job, Tails!" Sonic praised, zooming over to the fox. "We couldn't have done it without you!"

"That's the most stupidest lie ever." Shadow groused. He sighed. "But I'm not gonna question it."

"Thanks, you two," Tails smiled. "But I couldn't have done it without Knuckles!" He turned to Knuckles with a smile. "Good work, fellow inventor! So, what are you going to invent next?"

"About he invents something that will make him go away?" Eggman suggested.

Knuckles made no comment.

"Oh, I'm giving up inventing." Knuckles said.

"Thank you."

"It's time for a new hobby!"

"Damn it."

"Perhaps extreme couponing. Oh, or claw-dancing. Or maybe, inventing."

Knuckles sighed.

Lady Goat's Robot arrives, approaching Amy. The pink hedgehog strokes the pink robot pup with glee. "Look who came back!" She cooed. "Ooh, puppy wuppy!"

Sonic smiled at her, then turned to Tails. "You know, Tails. With this Hypnobot of yours, Eggman's robots will never be a problem again."

"Spoke too soon, faker." Shadow muttered.

However, with that said, the adorable little puppy robot hopped into the air and landed on Hypnobot, causing it to explode.

Amy was saddened. "Bad puppy..." She whimpered, and the screen went black.

Carol shrugged. "And that's why you don't keep pets."

Lilac chuckled. "Especially the ones that are built differently."

Lucy giggled and pressed the button to the next episode.
