Author Note: WHOO! My first independent fanfic ^^ Quick notes, I believe that the roboticizers are those capsules that Sonic and company break at the end of the stage. My reasoning is this: It has the animals that reside in Eggman's robots in them. Plus, in Sonic 2, one of the later levels has several capsules in it, and when you open some of them badniks pop out.

Eggman allowed a slight grin. That last one will make an excellent chaos robot. He commanded the computer to put Subjects 1, 2, and 4 into the capsules, and then inserted a chaos emerald into each of them. In with the Echidna went the red emerald. The grey emerald joined the bat, and the orange emerald was placed in the polar bear's capsule. The fox was then placed in a holding cell outside the room.
"It's a shame that you won't join them, my dear. If only I had been able to obtain more of the emeralds." With that Eggman returned to the testing room. He went up to his computer, and commanded the capsules to start the roboticization process. The lights flickered and dimmed as the capsules drew extra power to contain the emeralds. Eggman rubbed his hands together in anticipation. Finally, he would be able to overcome that troublesome hedgehog. But then something went wrong. The capsules started sparking, and drew even more power. The lights gave out entirely. The only illumination came from the computer monitor before Eggman, which was displaying a warning message. Then even that went dark. Another failed experiment! What could have gone wrong?
Eggman waited for the lights to come back up, trying to figure out what could have possibly went wrong this time. However, a clanging noise interrupted his thought process. He was beginning to get scared when the lights finally came back up. The clanging sounded again, this time clearly coming from the polar bear's capsule. Eggman summoned his guards, and opened the capsules. Before he even knew what was happening, the bear was out, tearing through the badniks. But something was wrong, nothing could be that strong! In a lull in the fight, Eggman saw something that made his heart freeze. The bear had white robotic arms. Behind him, in the empty capsule, lay the orange chaos emerald. Then Eggman heard the roar of a jet, and a foot was protruding from his now smashed console. It was the bat, except now his wings were made of black metal. The bat raised his arm to kill Eggman, but a buzzbomber smashed into him, knocking him away.
Eggman stumbled back in shock. Everything was going wrong. And then the echidna attacked. His right arm, eye, and his dreadlocks were all robotic now. He was in the midst of the fight quickly, and he was firing off lasers and missiles easily. He was too accustomed to the robotic parts for only just having gained them. And then Eggman turned and ran to his escape route, getting in his Eggpod and flying off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!!!" It was several minutes later, and Eggman was long gone. The polar bear was still in his beserk rage, and between the three of them they had completely trashed the test room. The bear had broken down the doors, and the echidna was standing before the fox's holding cell, a cable going from his new robotic limb to the keypad next to the cell. The force field flickered for a moment and then slowly faded out, and the echidna stepped inside the cell, looking at the fox, who was pressed up against the back wall in fear.
"Hello" the echidna ventured, trying to coax the girl away from the wall. She didn't move "Eggman's gone now." Still no movement. "I'm Talandar, who are you?" Talandar extended his real hand towards the girl, and she looked at it for a second. She started to shake, and then cry.
"Aw, come on now, don't cry, everything's fine now." The girl looked up at Talandar, and then dove at him, hugging him tightly around the neck, sobbing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bat stood amonst the wreckage of Eggman's test room and sighed. Any information he could have gathered was ruined. He looked over to the door, watching the bear pick his way back in and over to the bat.
"No sign of Eggman. He must have gotten away" the bear said absently.
"I figured as much. He always has some sort of escape plan."
"Damn him." The bear looked down at his new robotic limbs, quivering in rage.
"Anger won't help us. We can't change them back now. The emeralds ruined the capsules." With that the bat gestured over to the capsules, two of which still held emeralds. "We should get them just in case Eggman returns." With that, the bear lumbered over to the orange emerald, the one which had saved him, and the bat glided to the grey emerald.
"By the way, I'm Strike" the bat casually said to the bear.
"Gorn. Pleasure, I'm sure. Now what about that other guy? The echidna?"
"He went out that door, hasn't returned yet. I didn't see him take the red emerald, though. Wonder what happened to it." The soft whoosh of an automatic door opening drew their attention over to the opposite end of the room from them. Talandar and the fox were standing in the door way. They crossed over to Strike and Gorn, Talandar helping the fox at some points. The bat nodded at them.
"Glad to see you made it. I'm Strike, and this is Gorn."
"I'm Talandar. This is Catriona. She was also captured by Eggman, but apparently he only had enough emeralds for the three of us."
"Speaking of emeralds, what happened to the red one?" Strike inquired.
"I have it. But we need to leave. Now. Eggman will be sending reinforcements here, or he has some kind of bomb set up."
"I agree. Let's make haste, then." Gorn, Talandar, Strike, and Catriona picked there way across the rubble towards the back of the room, where Eggman had escaped. Gorn grabbed the firmly shut door and slowly pulled it open. They made their way through the dimly lit tunnel that was revealed, occasionally running into a badnik. Finally, they were greeted by another door blocking the tunnel. Gorn opened this door as well and from there it was a short walk until they hit the surface, blinking because of the sudden light. They were in the middle of a forest a few miles from the base. After distancing themselves from the escape tunnel they finally got a chance to sit and relax.
"Damn, I've gotta get some new jeans..." Gorn was fingering his thoroughly torn jeans, looking somewhat sad.
"Oh, be quiet, at least you have clothes left. All of mine were destroyed" Talandar remarked.
"Both of you, be quiet, we need to think about what to do now. Eggman will hunt for us, he's going to want these emeralds."
"So we fight him off. With these new parts their's no way he can stop us." Gorn smirked as he said this, looking at the white metal of his robotic arms.
"I doubt it. You haven't mastered use of your arms, and you haven't mastered your wings yet" Talandar remarked, gesturing to Strike and Gorn. "We need full control of these limbs to even have a hope of fighting Eggman. We need to lay low for a while. But he can track us..."
"Um... I have an idea." Gorn jumped, having almost forgotten that Catriona was there.
"Well then, let's hear it." Strike seemed genuinely curious to hear Catriona's suggestion.
"Well... Wouldn't he be able to find you faster when you're together? So, why don't you split up?"
"Hmmmm... You're right. We should split up. Besides, even if he does finds us, he won't be able to put his full force into an attack" Strike commented.
"Then it's settled. Strike, Gorn, I guess I'll see you later. Catriona, you should come with me. It won't be safe out here." Catriona nodded tentatively. Strike nodded and muttered a farewell, melting into the shadows. Gorn smiled confidently, waved to them, and walked away. Talandar and Catriona stood there for a moment, watching him leave. Then Talandar took Catriona's hand and led her in the opposite direction that Gorn went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After they had left, a white hedgehog materialized where they were standing.
"Yes... They will be perfect. I wish you luck, guardians of the emeralds."
