Chapter 7 Accidents

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Miles nervously entered the robotic hanger where Doctor Robotnik, the genius which had taken him in to help in the fight against the evil Sonic the hedgehog. His small build helping to avoid the smoke as it slowly cleared from the massive hanger through the various exhaust fans, which were installed for exactly such a reason, that pumped the smoke out into the Mystical Ruins that lay above the secret base.

He found the genius angrily kicking one of his robotic minions and cursing it for its incompetence. The fox cleared his throat noisily to alert Doctor Robotnik to his presence. The obese man quickly span around and looked over at the small fox nervously, obviously embarrassed to be found acting so childish. However, he quickly recovered.

"Well, that was a bad idea" The excessively fat man told his new partner "I told one of my robotic minions to test one of the smoke bombs, and the stupid thing did it in the same room as me" He aimed another kick at the robot before he caught himself again "Um, so, how did your plans go?"

The young fox shrugged "Well, I've only designed four robotic designs that could work. A BurraBot, a small robot that looks like a mole. It hides underground and when our enemy comes near, it leaps in the air and attacks. I'm planning on making it run off just normal batteries, but the life time will only be about five minutes, but that should be enough. Each BurraBot will only take about half an hour to create and I could probably create twenty or so of them today" The young fox told him happily, enjoying the chance to show off in front of someone without them calling him a freak.

"Then there are the Jaws, some small piranha looking bots that will bite him if he comes close. They will only take about ten minutes or so, so I'll be able to create plenty. I also created a smaller robot called a BatBot that will hide on the ceiling and when he comes closer, they will dive at him and either scare him a heap, or attack him. And the best part is that they only take a few minutes to make. I've actually already made a whole bunch of them. And lastly there's this really cool robot that I'm going to call the Unidus. It's this really cool glowing sphere that I got to float in the air, and when he comes close, it shoots one of its four outer spheres at him. The best part is that he can't attack it until after I've fired all four of the outer spheres. But the problem is that it takes me a while to make each one. I only have one prototype working at the moment"

The fox's ears drooped down and his voice went sour as he continued "I just wish I could be more helpful to you. I mean, you took me in and everything, but I can't seem to be able to create anything that could repay you for your kindness"

The genius just chuckled "You have helped me a lot already, you silly young fox" He told him kindly "If it weren't for the fur, you would remind me of a younger version of myself. I'm sure that the robot's you've planned will be adequate to defeat the hedgehog. However, I'm afraid that we are going to have to leave this base soon"

"Why?" Miles asked quietly

"That smoke cloud has become a pretty obvious sign that we are hiding in the Mystic Ruins. You know as well as I do, that the hedgehog is excellent at tricking people into helping him, so it's only a matter of time before he, or someone he's coerced, sees the plume of smoke. So we'd better leave. You take the jet, and I'll launch the traps, maybe we will get lucky" The genius informed the young fox and he quickly began typing instructions to his robotic minions.

Miles quickly turned and fled along the base's many darkened corridors as he raced to the jet. He knew that the hedgehog could reach the base within minutes of spotting the base and the young fox knew exactly how dangerous the hedgehog could be from the damage he'd seen on the flying craft that Doctor Robotnik had been using before.

So it should be no surprise at all that he managed to leave the base and fly out before Sonic even arrived.
