The bright overhead sun shone down on an occupied sandy beach. Under a large umbrella were Sonic and Amy, relaxing in lounge chairs. Nearby, Sticks and Knuckles were playing volleyball.
"There's nothing like a lazy day on the beach," Sonic uttered happily, his fingers linked behind his head. The brown volleyball bounced towards Amy, so she put down the book she had been reading to throw it back.
Sticks caught it and released a content sigh. "It's nice to breathe in that beautiful saltwater air and relax. For the first time, I feel totally stress-free."
"Doubt it." Spade said, deadpanned. "Yeah, last time, she was a total nutcase." Knuckles points out.
Amy hummed, "I wouldn't say total. More like half."
Spade scoffed, "Of course you would think that."
"Hey guys!" Tails greeted off screen.
Sticks shrieked and crouched low, freaking out because of the sudden voice.
Sonic chuckled. This girl needed some help.
The kit was pushing something covered with a tan cloth forward. "I just perfected my most brilliant invention yet." He gestured to the blanketed object. "Meet UT, the Universal Translator." Tails threw the cloth off to reveal a robot with two dishes extending from its head. "Designed to translate any language into our own!"
"That's amazing, Tails!" Cream smiled at the kit "You could go anywhere without a language barrier!" Mila was amazed.
Tails nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! I don't know why I haven't thought of that yet! Just think of all the cool stuff I could learn from different professors now that nothing's lost in translation...!"
Sonic, Sticks, and Amy silently blink at the bot, unimpressed.
"Harsh crowd." Knuckles mumbled. "They're just jealous because, Tails is able to do some that they can't." Amy said.
"Allow me to demonstrate." Tails directed his friends' attention to a bird nest. The mother bird was feeding her young.
The Universal Translator observed the avians before turning to the heroes. "'The fact that you pre-chew my food is repulsive.'"
Tails' eyes sparkled. "That just became ten times cooler! It can translate any kind of verbal communication? I seriously have to put this on my list of inventions!"
Shadow frowned, "Didn't you hear what the baby bird just said? It's really disgusting if you think about it."
"Hey!" Knuckles chuckled in awe. "It works!"
UT translated it as, "'Didn't see that one coming.'"
"It does thoughts too?!" Mila exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
"Interesting..." Eggman commented, actually intrigued about this piece of machinery. If used right in the care of an evil mastermind like himself, he could potentially plan for any attack the heroes come up with before they even struck! Eggman would have to modify the one shown on screen of course, but it had potential. Too bad that the other doctor was going to screw it up somehow.
Knuckles scratched his head. "Um...it's still talking?"
"'I thought this thing only translated birds,'" UT added on.
"Since what you're saying doesn't need to be translated," Tails proudly explained, "UT is translating it into what you really mean!"
"'I didn't intend for it to do that,'" UT uttered, "'but I will gladly accept full credit.'"
Carol snickered at that, "Of course he gets full credit, accident or not! He made a pretty awesome bot. You have to step you game foxy!"
"That's great, Tails!" Amy complimented, but something was off with her tone.
UT called her out on it. "'Pretty lame.'"
Mila gasped, shocked, "What is she talking about? It basically has the power to read your minds! I for one, think it's special!"
"This version of Amy is pretty critical," Espio stated. "It's kinda ironic if you think about it. She was practically all over Eggman last episode." Vector points
"Don't say it like that!" Both Amy and Eggman yelled out.
Amy was starting to sweat. "That's...not what I was thinking at all!"
"'Man, I am totally busted.'"
Lilac nodded, "Yep. Should've kept your thoughts to yourself." She was not amused. "Tails? I think that it needs some more work."
"'If that thing doesn't shut its metal trap, I think I might die.'"
Cream frowned a bit, "Amy! That was very rude of you!" "Oh come on, Cream! I would never say something like that. Even if I don't like his inventions." Amy stated. Tails looked confused, "Uh... thanks?"
"Wait..." Sticks pointed at the small mech. "This thing reads minds?"
UT translated, rather uselessly, "'Wait. This thing reads minds.'"
"Get it out of my head!" The badger screamed.
"'Get it out of my head.'" Sticks pulled out her boomerang and was about to attack the, but Knuckles held her back.
"Now, now!" Knuckles chastised, holding onto the feistier one. "Calm down, Sticks!"
"'Take it easy, whack-job.'"
"Hey!" Sticks barked indignantly at UT.
"'I am displeased.'"
Sonic tried to fix the situation. "Don't be offended, Sticks! Knuckles didn't mean to think that."
UT rolled up to him. "'He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.'"
Knuckles growled, insulted.
Sonic frowned, "Why is everyone getting so riled up? We say insults to each others' faces all the time and no one gets offended!"
Knuckles scoffed, "Actually, you're the only one who does it."
"Tails, I think it's best if you shut that thing off." Amy strictly advised. "We don't want it to reveal anything too...sensitive."
UT beeped. "'Shut that thing up before it tells Sonic that I-" Tails powered it off. "'-looo....'"
"Uh, what was he saying?" Sonic asked, not understanding.
Amy frantically waved her hands and chuckled nervously. "Nothing! Nothing important!"
"What do you mean nothing important?!" A fire formed in Amy's eyes as some of the audience shrink back a bit, "Since when is declaring your devoted love to the one you cherish most nothing important? Tails! You turn that machine back on or so help me...!"
The others were surprised about her rather...intense outburst. "Um... Ames. Maybe you should-" "Quiet, Sonic!" "O-okay..."
A little distance away, a robot shaped like a bug had been recording the scene.
The setting changed to Eggman's lair, said doctor and his two helper bots watching the crew bicker on a large screen. "Very interesting," he hummed, "It seems Tails' new invention is creating friction between Sonic and his friends."
"Yeah!" Cubot, who was standing beside him, concurred. "And they're not getting along either!"
"This gives me an idea." Eggman told them. Eggman facepalmed. Here it comes. "If I build a duplicate robot to replace the original, I could have it say whatever I want! They'll be at each other's throats in no time! And with the group divided, I can destroy them once and for all!"
Silver tilted his head, "They wouldn't trust a robot over their friends, would they."
"Given what we've seen, it's possible." Blaze stated.
"It doesn't mean that it is a smart plan." Torque began, "All he has to do is take the robot, modify it so it has a broader range, and-" "Torque!" Lila, Carol and Mila shouted frantically. He looked at his friends, "What??" It took him a minute to realize what he was saying and widened his, "...Oops."
"It's okay, bud. Even if Eggy was close to winning, he always loses at the end." Sonic gave a cheeky grin at the doctor, who could only grin.
Eggman laughed evilly, but when Orbot and Cubot joined in, he cut them off. "Don't laugh with me. You're ruining it."
It was now nighttime, and Tails was in his house sitting in a chair. He spoke to his new robot. "Wow, UT. My friends normally love my inventions. I can't believe you had such a lousy debut." He laid down in it with sigh.
UT's monotone filled the air. "'I blame myself.'"
Mila felt bad for the kit, "Tails, I think you invention was great! You shouldn't beat himself up for it." Tails smiled at the dog, "Thanks, Mila." Amy looked between the smiling duo and could help squeal quietly. This didn't go unnoticed from Knuckles as he looked at the hedgehog, "What's wrong with you now?" "Love at first sight." Knuckles rolled his eyes and continued to look at the screen. That is until he remembered what she said. Love at first sight. She has already loved Sonic since the day they met. What was she talking about??
The kit shook his head. "No no. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. After all, I was the one who – oh wait." He sat up and faced the mech. "You were just saying my thoughts, huh?"
"'I feel like such a dummy.'"
Tails shut UT off. "Things'll go better tomorrow, I promise. Goodnight, UT." The kid yawned and fell asleep.
"He's jinxing things again..." Cory trailed off, feeling a bit sorry for the little guy.
Orbot and Cubot, seeing that he's sleeping, snuck in and switched UT out for a duplicate. Tails moved a bit, but didn't wake up. The robots crept back out, leaving behind the fake.
"You called it, sis." Carol said.
It was daytime again, and most of the friends were on the beach. Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy were resting under the umbrella while Sticks was bouncing the volleyball by herself. It was the badger who noticed the approaching Tails and UT first. Annoyance flashed across her face.
"Okay," Tails began, "I know things got off on the wrong foot yesterday, but I-"
Sonic, now awake, interrupted him. "Tails, I think it would be best if you turned UT off."
"Jeez...you're not even gonna let him speak first?" Vector groused. "That's kinda rude."
Tails frowned. This wasn't his day.
The fake UT spoke. "'Amy Rose is a big dope."
Amy glared at Sonic. "Oh! So now that's what you're thinking?"
The shocked speedster held his hands up innocently. "Wh-What? No! Not even close!"
Knuckles couldn't help but to think that this was nice payback, although... "That Amy was quick to turn on Sonic even though she 'loves' him." The air-quotes were clearly heard.
"Sonic would never call me that!" Amy hmphed, "So I would know immediately that something was wrong!"
Eggman was watching through the screen again and was speaking for the replica of UT through a microphone. "And her hair stinks! What does she shampoo with..."
"'Yogurt from the back of the fridge?'"
Amy became angry, "Hey! I'll have you know it's peppermint shampoo! If anyone smelled like that, it would be Eggman!" Eggman growled, but remained quiet. Not wanting to take on the pink beast.
"Why would you even say that?" Amy yelled, getting into Sonic's face.
"But I didn't say that!" He pointed to the small bot. "He did!"
"Looks like one of Eggy's plans is workin' for a change." Knuckles threw Torque a look. "Thanks a lot buddy." "I said sorry."
Knuckles rolled his eyes. " Sure you didn't."
"'I'm stupid.'"
"Hey!" Knuckles exclaimed, glaring at the bot.
"He's not wrong." Charmy said. "Yeah, he hadn't reached that first episode level of stupid yet, but the fact that he doesn't smell something fishy after that is just terrible." Carol stated. Knuckles grumbled, leaning his elbows on his knees, chin resting in a palm.
"It just looks like he's gullible." Tails observed. "And when we first met you, well..."
"It was a whole different situation then!" Knuckles nearly growled, not wanting to be reminded of his regrettable past actions.
"Not really." Sonic said flippantly, "You fell for Baldy's schemes."
The guardian gestured violently at the screen, "The other you fell for it too!"
Sonic wagged a finger. "But I never have!"
"Actually, Sonic-"
"Hush, Tails. I'm winnin' an argument here."
Knuckles just huffed, giving up for now. Rouge pinched Knuckles cheek, much to the latter's anger and embarrassment, "It's ok, Knuckie. Even if you're not the smartest person in the world, you'll always have my attention." Rouge went for a peck on the cheek, which Knuckles simply moved out of the way, much to the bat's disappointment. But she still held her smile.
The fake UT continued. "'And um...I'm ugly too, but not as ugly as Sticks.'"
The badger growled before tackling Knuckles and basically trying to detach his head from his shoulders.
"Ow!" The red one shouted. "Get offa me!"
"Dang, with that level of violence, she's more of a mixture of Knuckles and Sha-"
"One more word out of you, faker, and I'm gonna do something drastic."
"See my point." "He's like Spade and scary lady." Carol said. "Don't you dare compare me to him." Spade retorted. "I am nothing like that hedgehog or that crazy badger." Neera angrily stated. Eggman was laughing evilly at what he saw in his lair. "Now, this is going nicely. "
The real UT rolled over to him. "'Dr. Eggman is a genius.'"
The human was clearly impressed. "Hey, I like your style."
"'You're the only one who understands me.'"
"I think we've seen enough of this." Eggman turned off the TV showing the still feuding heroes to give UT his full attention.
"'Let's turn off the monitors and focus on praising Dr. Eggman.'"
Said man smiled.
Eggman just shook his head in exasperation. Back with the anthros, Amy hadn't backed down yet. "Sonic the hedgehog, I can't believe you think those awful things!"
Sonic was just as agitated. "So now you're gonna trust some bucket of bolts over me?"
"So wait." Knuckles scratched his head. "Who called me stupid? I called me stupid?"
Sticks then spoke up. "Don't you see? This is what it wants us to do!" Her voice was raised in volume. "The robo apocalypse is nigh!"
Gong blinked, "This woman is psychotic."
Sonic and Amy stared blankly at Sticks for a moment before going back to arguing.
The pinkette pointed a finger in the azure hedgehog's face. "After everything I do for you, you don't appreciate me?! Why am I even here? "
Lilac raised a brow at that, "You two are arguing like you're a married couple." "Are they married." Carol asked.
Amy danced a bit in her seat. "We totally are! There's definitely some lover's tension there!"
Sonic was in denial. "What?? NO! It's just two friends arguing! Nothing special!" Tails scratched his head, "I don't know, Sonic. Maybe-" "Hush, Tails." "I know my friends wouldn't think such horrible thoughts about each other...maybe UT's malfunctioning?" Tails muttered to himself, turning to the robot. He used a screwdriver to open the mech up. He gasped in surprise. "What the heck? I didn't install a remote speaker!"
The speaker was shown and had an Eggman logo on it.
There went that plan, Eggman thought. Though it was destined to fail from the start.
Tails ripped it out and yelled to the others. "You guys, stop! We've been duped! Eggman swiped UT and replaced him with this imposter!"
They all stopped fighting to look at him.
"We gotta save the real UT!" Tails said with determination. He began to run off, but paused when he realized that no one was following. "...Don't you guys wanna get UT back?"
Sonic put a hand on his hip. "Thing is bud, that robot of yours just makes us fight all the time."
"So...basically he's going to have Tails rescue his bot from the heart of Eggman's base by himself?" Carol pursed her lips, not liking this. "Great plan. Yep, that'll go smoothly."
Sonic gave her a stern look, "I would never abandoned my friends."
"It's evil, I tell ya!" Sticks reiterated.
Tails' face fell. "Fine. I see how it is. I'll go get him back myself!" He then ran off.
The kit was now sprinting over Eggman's island, heading for the entrance of the lair. Peering around a corner, he spotted a patrolling Motobug. Tails ducked behind the rock when the robot looked his way, and he smacked it with a wrench when it came to investigate. When it broke, Tails resumed his trek.
"You're doing well, Tails." Mila complimented. "That is until he gets caught." Spade pondered aloud.
Inside the base, Eggman was holding out a piece of cake shaped like his face to UT. "Would you like another slice of cake?"
UT beeped. "'What a beautiful cake. I hope no one sits on it."
Tails cocked his head. "Why would he even-"
Eggman sat the dessert on a nearby table just as Tails fell through the skylight, landing square on it.
Tails laughed along with the others. That cake looked very delicious, and he could go for one right now.
Tails held up a fist. "Eggman!"
"'Landing in that cake really hurt my credibility.'"
Sonic was fighting to control his chuckles. "Yeah, but it still was awesome!" Rouge giggled, "Our Eggy right here looked like he'd eaten one too many cakes anyway." Eggman snarled, "I don't need to hear this." Sonic smirked, "Maybe you need to workout." "Maybe you need to confess your love for the pink rodent right here, already." Sonic didn't say anything after that.
"Not now, UT!" The fox frowned before throwing a slice of cake at the robot, shutting it off. Tails jumped off the table and demanded, "Give me back my robot!"
Eggman stood up, now looming over him. "Or what?"
Tails hesitated. "...That's a fair question."
"Wait...Why didn't Tails just swoop in, take the robot, and fly back out?" Amy didn't know what their alternate selves were thinking sometimes. "That would've been a lot easier!"
"Maybe UT's too heavy?" Charmy provided. "Quiet, Charmy." Vector said, covering the bee's mouth.
"Or maybe they just want to make everything harder for themselves." Espio uttered.
More robots appeared and surrounded Tails.
"Where's that blue loser?" the doctor inquired, "And the rest of your friends?"
"I'm here alone! I came to negotiate the release of my robot, UT!"
"Negotiate?" Eggman rubbed his chin. "Usually we just battle until the losing party...sometimes you, sometimes me – it's about a fifty-fifty split – retreats to his lair!"
That was the worst lie Sonic's ever heard. "Fifty-fifty? Not even close! The only thing that's 'fifty-fifty' is whether Eggman cries or not after every defeat!"
"I do not cry!" Eggman retorted, "I am a grown man, Sonic!"
Lilac looked at the doctor, "Even grown ups cry, Eggman."
Tails had his hands on his hips. "Let's pretend that's true and that you don't always lose. In exchange for the safe return of my robot," he gestured to himself, "I'm prepared to offer my services as your lab assistant."
"Intriguing..." Eggman stroked his mustache. "With two mechanical geniuses under one roof-"
Tails perked up. "Was that...a compliment?"
Eggman growled. "Not from me."
"-I'd raise my win ration well above the fifty-fifty mark that we both agreed earlier was completely accurate."
Sonic quietly snorted. The other Eggman was seriously swimming waist deep in denial.
"Then it's a deal?" Tails asked.
Eggman patted Orbot. "I'll have Orbot draw up a contract. This will be delicious! Having one of Sonic's friends helping me build the tools that will destroy him!"
"It's ripe with irony, your evilness!" Orbot agreed. "Sonic won't know what hit him!"
"But wait." Eggman thought for a second. "The moment Sonic realizes you're missing, he'll come bursting through that door with that circus troupe he calls friends, and put a damper on all the fun!"
"Probably not!" Amy's cheeks were puffed out. "Because they're too busy being haters."
Tails approached his stolen robot. "I've already thought of that. Since you're letting UT go, I'll just send a message along with him."
"That's smart!" Tails' exclaimed, "Because then UT would translate what he says into what he really means! He probably planned that from the start!"
Mila could see where Tails was coming from, "Good job, Tails. You're really smart." Tails gave a proud look, "I've learned from the best."
"Good thinking, number two!" Eggman praised.
Orbot nudged him. "I thought I was number two?"
"Oh please. I'd need a computer to find out where you fall in the pecking order." A laptop was suddenly there in the man's hold. "Fortunately, I have one here." He made a few keystrokes. "Three hundred forty-seven."
Orbot slumped.
Tails pushed a button on UT, activating a video recorder. "Hey gang, it's Tails." He waved. "I'm going to be staying with Eggman. No need to rescue me, I'm one hundred percent safe and happy." Tails ended the recording.
How did the other him not catch that? Eggman released a heavy sigh. This was torture.
Back on the beach, UT rolled up, approaching a lounging Amy and Knuckles. "Hey, it's Tails' missing robot." The pinkette observed.
"We found him!" Knuckles smiled as everyone gathered around the bot. The echidna pointed at UT. "When you see Tails, tell him we looked everywhere for a long time."
Knuckles simply rolled his eyes, having no words.
"Or we can just recycle the thing and take a blood oath never to tell a soul." Everyone silently stared at Sticks. She shrugged. "What? Just spitballin' here."
Nobody had words to say.
UT activated the message from Tails, the hologram of the fox floating over the sand. The recording repeated what the kit said earlier, and the crew was shocked.
The small mech then translated it. "'I snuck into Eggman's lair to save my robot. It was awesome. You should have seen me. Anyways, I need you to come rescue me now. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Wow..." Knuckles was impressed. "UT really came in handy!"
Amy nodded. "Maybe it's not as dumb an invention as we thought."
"And it only took for Tails to be put in serious danger to realize that." Knuckles deadpanned.
"Eh." Sonic stretched a bit, "I won't say it's a serious danger."
"Well, none of this would've happened if they went with him in the first place." Carol points out.
"Yeah...but we should still smash it," Sticks suggested, "Just to be safe."
Sonic shook his head. "No time for that now! We've gotta go save Tails!"
In Eggman's lair once more, the scientist was working on a smashed Bee bot with Tails by his side. "Tails, be a doll and plug my drill into that outlet over there?"
The kit grabbed the plug and glanced in the direction Eggman was pointing in. The outlet was sparking wildly.
Tails frowned. "Uh...that doesn't look very safe."
"Yeah, I know. That's why I'm having you do it," Eggman said like it was obvious.
"Probably the most sensible thing he's said this whole time," Eggman commented. Honestly, he would do the same if he was in that position. Tails gulped but went for it anyway. Eggman sighed. "It's nice having an assistant."
"For you to torture." Torques said, his friends were nodding, agreeing with him. An alarm began to blare, and a monitor dropped down to show Sonic destroying a Bee bot right outside the base.
"Woo!" Sonic cheered as he sat straighter, eyes focused. "Some action! Let's go!"
Amy hammered a Crab bot with a satisfied yell. Sticks sidestepped another Bee bot's blasts until it was crushed by a smug Knuckles. A Motobug raced by and immediately was smashed by a spin dashing Sonic. UT attempted but failed to translate the action. Amy and Sticks then crushed a Bee bot by kicking it simultaneously. They shared victorious grins.
Sonic couldn't help but to smile. "No matter the universe, robots are no match for Team Sonic!" Tails and Amy cheered while Knuckles smirked. Eggman grumbled under his breath.
The entrance doors to the lair opened up, revealing a disgruntled Eggman and Tails.
"We're here to save our friend from your evil clutches!" Sonic shouted.
"Wait, what?" Confusion flashed across Eggman's face. "No! Tails and I have a contract!"
Orbot then waltzed over, holding up a piece of paper. "Here's the lab assistant contract, ready to be signed!"
Eggman clutched his head before running his hands down his face, ignoring the laughter floating around the room. That man was such an embarrassment! He was ruining Eggman's good – though some would argue – name as a villain! It didn't matter if it was him or not, the heroes would never let him live this down!
Tails simply laughed and rejoined his friends.
"Fine!" Eggman growled. "Lucky thing I always have a plan B."
The ground rumbled, and a huge bulky robot with one red eye, tank treads, and big hands approached them.
Lilac whistled lowly at the big bot, "He's big." Sonic smirked, "Still nothin' we can't handle!"
More Bee bots flew over and blasted Tails and Knuckles with their stingers, the duo dodging the attacks. Amy pulled out her hammer and charged the Mega bot; however, it knocked the weapon away with ease. It then raised a fist and attempted to crush the pinkette.
"Amy! Look out!" Sonic sped over and got her out of the way just in time. Sonic was still holding onto Amy when they put a safe distance between themselves and the machine.
"That was close," Sonic said, relieved.
UT was nearby. "'I care about your well-being."
"Aww..." Amy cooed, and Sonic gave her a grin.
Amy shrieked as she jumped to her feet, hopping up and down and pointing at the screen. "What...That...It's happening! OH MY GOSH IT'S HAPPENING!"
Tails furrowed his brow. "Wait... Does that mean that they're actually...a thing?"
His only answer was Amy shrieking again, unable to contain herself.
Sonic couldn't breathe. "Ack!" He clutched his chest. "My heart!"
Amy clasped her hands together, giggling manically – it was so cute – before letting out a dreamy sigh. "Is it swelling and warming up to the love in the air?"
"No! I'm havin' a heart attack! Because what...when...how...w-why?" Sonic sputtered. He put a hand on his forehead, feeling light headed.
Knuckles snickered. "Congratulations, you two."
"I mean..." Tails rubbed the back of his neck. "The other Amy does act different, so..."
"Whose side are you on!?" Sonic screeched.
Amy suddenly pounced on him, landing in his lap. "If they can do it, we totally can to!" She leaned forward, and Sonic wanted to disappear into the couch. "Especially since I know I love you more than she loves her Sonic!" The pinkette, noticing that there was now an empty spot beside the speedster, settled down and nuzzled his side.
The blue blur faced Tails, begging with his eyes. "Help," he squeaked.
Tails glanced between his bro and the girl on his arm. He regrettably shrugged and mouthed, "Sorry...!"
He was doomed.
Sonic ran back to spin attack the Mega, only to bounce off and get hit.
Knuckles was standing on one of its treads, punching but not making a dent. He growled before trying to grab it; that didn't work either. "Man!"
Sticks ferally yelled and jumped at the robot, futilely whacking it with her boomerang until it knocked her away with a flick of its finger.
Eggman chuckled evilly. "Tails! Deploy the photon bombs!"
Tails hopped over a blast from a robotic bee and gave the doctor a pointed look.
Eggman suddenly remembered. "...Oh right."
Knuckles wasn't even watching the show at the moment, still entertained by Sonic's misfortune. "Comfortable over there, Sonic?"
The hero didn't answer him, as he was still snuggled by the pink hedgehog.
The doctor released the bombs himself. They shot out of the Mega bot and circled around the heroes. One targeted Tails, blowing up. The attacking Bee bot was destroyed and Tails was sent flying, rescued from careening off the cliff by UT. Another bomb landed between Knuckles and Amy, pushing the echidna back a bit and throwing Amy into Sonic's arms.
Amy happily squealed, wiggling around.
The speedster tried to peel her off, but she had a vice grip.
Theo and Lucy smiled and giggled at the scene.
"Sticks! Set Knuckles up!" Sonic shouted.
The badger hit the third bomb into the air. Knuckles jumped up high and spiked the sphere into Mega's eye. The bomb exploded, thrusting the robot backwards. It toppled over the cliff and fell into the ocean.
"No!" Eggman groaned in frustration before marching back into his lair, Orbot trailing after him.
The human slowly shook his head, knowing that he would have to get used to this.
They all went over to Tails and UT once the doors sealed. "Thanks for the rescue, guys."
"Hey," Knuckles gestured at the small bot, "We couldn't have done it without UT."
Sonic smiled. "I think we'll be going on lots more adventures with UT from now on."
"I agree," Sticks added.
"'I'm going to destroy that stupid robot.'"
The badger promptly picked the mech up and hurled it into the water. Tails clenched his fists in anger while she just crossed her arms. "Sorry, Tails. Had to be done."
It faded to black.
"I loved that episode!" Amy laughed.
"Of course you did..." Sonic muttered under his breath.
Knuckles grinned, tone filled with mirth. "We did learn some interesting things."
"Knux, watch your back from now on, 'kay?"
"Besides...that." Tails gestured to a captured Sonic. "I kinda like it because-"
"It doesn't matter why you like it." Eggman interrupted the kit, "Cut the chatter and play the next damn one."
Lucy giggled but did what Eggman said and played the next episode.
