CHAPTER 10

Robotnik's Rematch

Robotnik was sitting in his chair with his anger rising.Snively came in out of breath.Robotnik jumped from his seat huffing and puffing wit hhis face going red like a tomatoe.

"You...let them...escape...Snively!" he said straining to talk through his anger.

Snively whimpered like a puppy and shrunk under his shadow.

"I-it wasnt my fault sir...I-I-I...!"

Robotnik grabbed Snively and lifted him up by his collar and put his face to his squishing his long nose against his.His sour fist breath blew on Snively making his face twist into sickness.

"Not only...did you let them escape...but you let THEM in!" he shouted pointed to the screen.Snively looked over his shoulder trying not to make any sudden moves and saw Sally working the computer consoles hacking through the firewalls and encryptions only he and Robotnik could open.

"Any last words,Snively?" he said a demonic tone as he raised his fist.

But then suddenly from behind him a portal opened up.It created a electrical surge frying his main computer sending stray shots of lightning bolts bouncing across the room scattering things about.

"Yes sir...LOOK OUT!!!!" he screeched as a piece of loose machinery was ripped from its spot and came flying at them.Robotnik ducked letting go of Snively as he abandoned him.Robotnik saw four metal claws suddenly tear through the very fabric of space/time itself.The claws gleamed from the light and cruled around grabbing air pulling the tear open wider.Then Freddy jumped out with it quickly shutting behind him.

"Where the hell are they? eh?" he said looking over at Robotnik.Robotnik layed eyes on him and suddenly as if recalling a long lost dream he suddenly remembered his encounter with Freddy one year ago.They had fought in this very room and Freddy had humiliated him and haunted his dreams.Robotnik grinded his teeth and his black eyes lit up red with hate with veins bulging on his head and arm.

"You..." he uttered.

Freddy looked at him again squinting trying to reconize him and then his memories came back to him.He grinned and let out a light laugh.

"Ah,so your still alive eh,fatty?" he mocked flicking his blades.

"Twice we now have met.I think proper introduction are in order.I am Robotnik,Lord of Mobius and beyond.Remember that name when I tear you apart!" he cursed balling up his fists.

Freddy shook his head in pity and fixed his hat.

"Slow learner? Well I'll be happy to give you another lesson of pain,Monsieur!" he said bowing hiding his glove behind his back ready to strike.

"Snively,you had better have finished it."

Robotnik pressed a button on his left wrist and a metal pod like tube extended down from the cieling.Robotnik smiled backing up.

"What is that?" Freddy asked.

"Oh you'll see,heheheh.You'll see..." he said wickedly stepping back into the tube with it slamming shut on him.Steam and smoke hissed from the bottom vents.Freddy didnt like this one bit and using his powers flung aside the debris in the way and came forward.His glove burst into flames as he charged himself up.But then the door swung open blowing a faceful of smoke and steam in his path.Freddy waved the smoke aside squinting to see.Robotnik stepped out with a metal clank.When the smoke settled Freddy's eyes went wide.

Robotnik was pumped up.He wore a helmet that shaped his head fitting nicely to protect his skull from blows.His shoulderpads were mettalic and had two cannons on both sides with two wires imbedded into his spine for instinct firing.His hands were covered in great gigantic mettalic monster claws that seemed to dance with a life of their own.Each arm had two built in energy shields and his robotic arm was upgraded so a great blaster cannon rested on the side and all he would need is to flick his wrists downwards and two great blades would unsheath and could also be used to spray shots of electricity like a super powerful tazer meant for killing.His chest and stomach was highly protected also by a layer of metal.All this was made from a super highly rare metal Robotnik had unearthed.He only found enough of it to build this.It was originally meant for the hedgehog but now he found a better use for it.

He raised his fists feeling confident.

"Its payback time for what you did to me!"

Freddy still shocked backed up and grinned nervously eager for his challenge.

"Ha! Now I'll kill a little tin man instead of a little fat man instead!"

"Its showtime!"

Freddy sprayed a fireball from his gloved hand and Robotnik bent down on one knee and put up his left arm and a energy shield activated blocking the shot.Freddy then made ten fireballs twice as big as the other ones balancing on the ends of his fingers.

"Try this hot stuff!"

Robotnik ran towards the shots feeling more confident than he ever was before and put up his arms hitting them dead on.They exploded on impact but Robotnik charged through the smoke unharmed and wrapped his metal claws around the stunned Freddy's waist and plowed him through the wall and then the next one.Freddy grabbed him and yanked him off of him and delivered a sharp kick to his gut.Fortunately,Robotnik was well protected everywhere.His left shoulder cannon came to life and blasted Freddy in the face sending him flying through another wall.Freddy's dream powers seemed to be no match for Robotniks technology as he was taking charge of things.Freddy sliced at him scratching his armor but didnt even make him flinch.Robotnik pulled back and slammed a good solid one into Freddy's face making him spit blood.Angrily he let out a kia yell and Robotnik was sent flying back through the walls.Freddy teleported and was all over Robotnik.He was hacking and slashing away at Robotnik but he was well protected.Then Freddy saw an opening and gave a swift kick in balls to Julian.He perched over gagging with his eyes bulging.Freddy laughed.

"Forgot about there,huh?" he said with a smile and sliced at Robotniks face.

He yelled in pain clutching his bloodied face feeling the stinging sensation and his blood drip down his face.

His cannon shot off striking Freddy in the balls knocking him to the ground.Freddy glared at Robotnik and suddenly his claws grew 3x the length they were before and his face twisted into a demonic expression.His teeth began more jagged and his skin turned a darker red and his ears twisted back.He looked angry and devilsih now.

"Come on! I fucking dare ya!"

"GRRRRAAAAH!!!!" Robotnik yelled out in a battle cry as he shot his left first forward at him.Freddy sent his great blades forward slamming through Robotniks hand and into his arm.Robotnik grinned and his arm cannon activited blasting Freddy through the last wall sending him falling.

"Oh NO NO NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" he yelled trying to dig his claws into the side.From his back metallic wings unfolded and sprouted out.Two jet packs unfolded from underneath and came to life with a sonic boom.Those were specifically mad to match the hedgehogs speed.He always did resent for Sonic for being able to go so fast and he couldnt so this would have been a bitter sweet irony for the hedgehog.He came flying down the side of the tower flapping his wings and grabbed onto Freddy's leg and swung him up into the sky like a ragdoll.Like a red streak he came speeding up to catch him and rammed him in the back head on.

"That does it! No more playing around!" said Freddy now mad getting serious.

He used the momentum and kicked away from Robotnik and grabbed onto the side end of the tower and stuck to the surface on a 45 degree angle.Robotnik came barreling at Freddy but he leaped ontop of him and dug his claws into the jetpack ripping one off.

"No you fool!"

He hacked and slashed away at his backside tearing off chunks of his armor at the back.Robotnik got desperate and swerved towards the observation deck to land before he plummeted to his doom. and pulled Freddy off of him.

"Nothing more than scratches" he said still feeling the strike he gave to his face.

Robotnik twisted his wrists downwards and two great blades unsheathed.

"Ready for more?"

"Ha! I was born ready you fool" Freddy said eager to have another go at him.

Robotniks jet boots activated and came at him but Freddy lunged forward and managed to penetrate Robotniks armour.His claws dug in half way stabbing Robotnik.He gasped and froze as Freddy pulled it out.He grabbed his side where he was hit and his face twisted into pain gasping.He was lucky.His layers of fat saved him from getting his organs punctured.Robotnik wasnt defeated yet.Robotnik blased FReddy with his shoulder cannons only knocking him back slightly.He was becoming more resiliant to them.He beared agains the pain and slashed off Freddy's arms at the same time.He shook his head at Robotnik and then booted him in the balls again.

"You dont get it...I am,eternal."

Freddy's arms instantly regrew themselves and he laughed mocking Robotniks efforts.Robotniks left arm unhinged and shot out like a cable and grabbed him and pulled him in.

"Laugh this!" Robotnik spat as his arm cannon blasted a hole through his ugly face.Freddys claws dove into his weapon and tore it off regrowing his face.He stabbed Freddy repeatedly in the guts with his blades sending waves of electricity through him.For the first few seconds he was in pain but then Freddy repelled the shots frying the systems.He was taking Robotnik down slowly.He didnt feel so confident anymore.But what Robotnik did then he would have never expected himself to do.He grabbed Freddy bearhugging him as hard as he could and made a leap of faith and flung himself off the side of the tower spiralling down.Freddy kicked away from his grip and hacked away at Robotnik but his shoulder cannon blasted him off him as they punched and clawed eachother on the way down.Robotnik at the last minute grabbed ahold of Freddy and then they hit the ground like a bat out of hell flattening Freddy into the ground kicking up a cloud of dust and debris.
