I do not own Sonic Boom, Sonic the Hedgehog, or any of the other characters. Those belong to Sega. I do not intend to gain any monetary value from this.
One day, Eggman was in his lab, trying to concoct a plan to stop Sonic and his friends. But no matter how hard he tried, nothing came to him. Any idea he had either was already done, or it was doomed to fail.
"Grrr..." he growled. "There must be something that's sure to work." But no matter what, nothing came to him. He was so busy thinking, he didn't even notice Orbot and Cubot coming in with his peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. "Hello, Doctor." Orbot kindly greeted. But no response came from Eggman. "Sir?" Orbot questioned. "Is everything alright?" "Hmm?" Eggman asked, turning his head towards the two robots with his food. "Oh, Orbot. Cubot. I didn't hear you come in." he said. "What'cha doin'?" Cubot asked, curious. "I'm trying to come up with another plan to defeat Sonic, but nothing's coming to mind." Eggman told them. "Well, why don't you eat, and then maybe we can brainstorm on some ideas." Orbot suggested. Eggman agreed and took his sandwich from the robots and left his lab to eat.
Within a few minutes of talking and eating, Eggman, Orbot, and Cubot sat down together to brainstorm ideas. "Let's see. A direct attack is too predictable, so that's out." Eggman stated. "Come on, think! What haven't we tried?" "I think I may have an idea." Orbot stated. "One can't work if they're distracted, right?" Orbot asked, hoping to make a point. "Yeah." Eggman answered. "So, what if we were to come up with an idea that would cause Sonic and the others to be too distracted to fight back?" Orbot asked, confident in his idea. "Hmm… you know, for a bucket of bolts, you're no as dumb as I'd thought. However, while the idea's good, how are we going to pull the idea off?" Eggman asked. Orbot, upon hearing that, feel silent. He didn't think that far ahead.
As Orbot sat there, scratching his metallic head, a random Bee Bot flew in and stung Dr. Eggman. "YEEEOWCH!" he yelled in pain. Both Orbot and Cubot were frantically trying to catch the glitching robot, but weren't making much process. After a few minutes, they finally managed to catch it and deactivate it before it could cause any more harm. "I thought I told you dunder-heads to fix that one!" Eggman yelled, mad at his two lackeys. "I thought we had." Cubot defended. "Well, because you didn't, I've got this horrible, stinging pain. Not to mention, I've lost my main train of thought." But, as Eggman stood there, it dawned on him; he may've found a way to distract Sonic! "Wait… THAT'S IT!" he exclaimed. "Orbot! Cubot! Thanks to your incompetence, I may have gotten my idea!" "Really?" Orbot and Cubot asked simultaneously, shocked that Eggman actually thanked them for screwing up. "What is it?" "No time to answer questions! I got to get to work! Oh, baby, I'm on a ROLL right now!" he exclaimed, brimming with joy and excitement. He went back to the lab, ready to put his plan in motion.
*Well, it seems Eggman's finally found a plan. But what could it be? Stay tuned and find out in the next chapter.
