Smiles and Tears: Cautiously

"We've discovered all the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald in the possession of one person." The robot's monotone voice split the dead silence in a dark room.

A slimy, terrifying voice replied, "That's nice… Very nice… Is the prisoner ready to be skinned?"

"Yes, that bothersome rat will no longer plague you."

"Bring him in… I want to see with my very own eyes the fall of the hedgehog."

"Very well."

Two large, generic robots dragged in a blue creature bound up in chains.

"You'll… Never… Win…!" The blue creature's voice strained pathetically.

"Silence Sonic the Hedgehog! You're in MY control now! Now with this fused world, I'll have a robot army under MY command immediately AND any who resist will fall into instant death spikes. YOUR spikes! Ahahahaha!"

The robots chained Sonic to a steel bed, and slit him open. They skinned him like a dog.

"My plan cannot fail now that Sonic is gone, once and for all! It helps to have someone from this world to help too…"

Blue eyes, scarred with purple scratches glowed in the distance.

"We're receiving a distress signal, Signas. It's coming from a residential area!"

"An uprising?"

"No, the attackers seem to be… Anthropomorphic robots…?"

-()-

X surveyed the area. Many destroyed houses, but no sign of the offensive.

"Is this a joke? Even Mavericks aren't this smart."

"You're right, blue rat! These are no Mavericks!" The mysterious voice was enough to make X nervous.

"Who is there?"

"Watch out X!" Somehow, Arceus was here, and warned X of an incoming blast.

"So the rat has friends… Interesting, but to no avail!"

"Doctor Robotnik! Show yourself NOW!"

"A little girl has come to play. How sweet."

A hovering, hemisphere shaped device with a very rotund figure sitting in it appeared from the ruins. The figure had on a red shirt with black overalls and was bald except for a giant moustache.

"Give me those Chaos Emeralds and nothing will happen to your friend."

"Never! I'm not nearly as dumb as you think I might be!"

"Prepare to learn a lesson, little girl. A lesson in pain."

A large wrecking ball dropped from the floating contraption and began to swing around. X tried firing at the chain, but the azure hunter's shots bounced off with a cartoony-sounding "ping."

"Did you honestly think that someone with 300 I.Q. would forget to research their enemy? I've enhanced all of my machines with litanium, immune to all plasma and laser shots!"

"But can you take a tornado?" The burnette placed the purple emerald in her kama and began to smile.

"That won't help you silly girl!"

"Chaos… Tornado!"

A swirling vortex appeared around Robotnik and flung him around the area.

"I'm not finished yet!"

The wrecking ball now sported blue spines all over it, spelling instant death for Reploids.

"You couldn't… You never could…!"

"Oh yes I did. Mobius' hedgehog hero is dead!"

"You're going to pay for this!"

"A line I will never speak again! Ahahahaha!"

"Chaos… Blitz!"

At supersonic speed, the enraged human sliced away at Robotnik and his machine, causing critical malfunction and a satisfying explosion.

"You're going to pay for this!"

"Irony is a cruel maiden, isn't she Egghead?"

Doctor Robotnik managed to dissipate into nothing.

"He got away."
"That was only the first round. There's probably seven more waiting around the world."

"Thanks for saving me…"

"Friends don't let other friends die."
