The view glitch thing has been fixed thank God. Also don't be afraid to review, and I'm talking to you 10,600+ people or even PM me about questions.
The alarm clock on the bedside table that read 3:00 went off. Immediately the maniacal fox rose from his bed and wiped his eyes and glanced at the time before getting up.
10 minutes later he got dressed in his regular attire and gelled his long moustache at the end of his muzzle and put his navy-blue curricular glasses on that concealed the fox's eyes from view.
He stepped out of the room and approached the control room door at the end of the hallway. The Doctor expected to hear a frantic voice being shushed by a deeper one but only got silence in return.
He stepped in front of the door as it automatically opened upwards and inside the room was nothing much to Robotnik's surprise.
"Huh?" There werent any traces of recent activity in the control room. Perhaps Finnick and Gazelle were in the spare bedroom across the hall from Ivo's.
He jogged down to the door and opened it. It too was scarce of any life. Now Dr. Robotnik started to do what he did best, get angry. "Why that little..." He didn't finish the sentence before remembering something.
Judy and her friends existed and it was more than likely that they were the reason why Finnick was still absent from the base, but to be sure that he nor Gazelle were inside the base, he went over back to the control room.
"Computer!" Robotnik summoned.
"Awaiting orders, Dr. Robotnik." The computerized voice responded back.
"Has Finnick been inside the base recently?" He asked.
"Subject 'Finnick' was last seen at approximately 1:24 PM." He sighed in disappointment but knew he couldn't get angry at his long time old friend this easily.
The augmented fox remembered something again; he inserted a tracking device into Finnick's jacket and the hovercraft he piloted had a webcam on it too that recorded everything on a live feed.
"Ah yes, I remember now. Never knew it was this easy to forget something that happened not long ago, heheh." He joked to himself as Ivo checked one of the computer monitors and found Finnick's feed.
On screen was a dirty and broken glass dome windshield that was cracked open and an empty seat. It didn't take a genius to figure out that he crashed the thing. After all, he was new to piloting the things.
Just before he closed the webcam feed, voices were heard, catching the Doctor's attention. He immediately recognized the voices that belonged to Ben Clawhauser and Judy Hopps. Along was another female voice he didn't recognize but figured it had to be Gazelle's.
"...Thank God it was a real doctor and not one that claims he is and builds robots for a living. Did I mention he was my boyfriend once?" Judy chatted along.
"Um, I find that a little hard to believe, Ms. Hopps." Gazelle said in disbelief.
"Call me Judy, hun. But yeah, he was apart of the police force after the Night Howler Conspiracy case was closed and Bellwether in prison." She continued to explain his past and occasionally Ben complimenting on her music and driving.
"And that's his little hover whatchamacallit thingy." Ben pointed out the crashed hovercraft as Dr. Robotnik continued to watch. He decided he had enough.
The red jacket-and-black-pants wearing genius ran over to the hangar with a smug on his lips. Quickly Ivo chose a hovercraft and attached a metallic body with arms.
Ivo grabbed ahold of one of the yellow cuffs at the end of his sleeves which revealed a watch-like device. He turned it on and hit a map icon on the screen. There was a waypoint on it. That waypoint was Finnick.
He stroked his moustache. "I'll need some backup too, just in case." He said before mobilizing the things he needed before setting off for Finnick and Gazelle.
Finnick sat in the dark corner of the transport bay of the ship as Bogo kept guard over the fennec, making sure he didn't make any attempt to escape.
"Just let me go, please?" He asked but got only a grunt from the buffalo as he sat in boredom. Who knew what his enemies would do with him.
He could only glare at the other 3 whenever the fennec laid eyes apon them. It was unlikely that his friend would find him anytime soon, or so he thought.
His head lifted and large ears perked up at the sound of Gazelle and Judy in a conversation.
"I still don't believe you, haha! I've heard of crazy things in the music industry but him being your boyfriend 5 years ago? I don't believe you!" Gazelle said as they walked to the transport ship with everyone's favourite fat cheetah lingering behind them still with a dreamy look on him.
"Alright Fin. The ship still has to charge a bit, so we'll take a little walk outside." The rabbit said with a cheesy look.
"I ain't going nowhere!" He snarled. "You just wanna kidnap me! No, Ivo's coming get me and her so back off!
"That's his first name" She remembered. "Anyways, I don't think Dumb Fox is gonna find is on the side of a dirt road. Oh, and I'll he taking you to the nearest police station too. Should've done that a long time ago, but back then you were polite and funny."
The words "polite and funny" were a big exaggeration back then. He made a sour face.
"I am surprised about his new attitude. Being with Dr. Robotnik not for very long sure changed him quite a lot." Bogo said with a nod of approval.
"Uh, yeah. Changed." Ben said.
Judy faced Finnick again. "Look, I honestly hate to do this with you, Fin, but you committed a crime back there, so you're under arr- Oh, I forgot."
"Let's go. If you refuse, I won't hesitate to knock you unconscious, understand?" Bogo asked before getting a reluctant nod and getting up. Former Chief of Police Bogo was someone not to be messed with.
They exited the craft and sucked in the sunlight, jumped the ditch and onto the road.
"I'm telling you now to let me- Ow!" He was cut off by a punch to the arm. That silenced him.
The quadruple walked down the road to stretch their legs some more, but suddenly a whirring noise was heard and smoke bombs went off, which disoriented everyone.
Femine screaming was heard and a deep "Hey!" was heard as the smoke started to clear away. The bunny, the cheetah and the buffalo gazed up to see a Robotnik Empire hovercraft with two arms attached that held Finnick and Gazelle.
"Ha! Like taking candy from a baby!" The mad scientist above cheered. "Now I have everything to complete my plans! MWUHAHAHAHA!" He laughed before taking off.
Finnick was relieved that Dr. Robotnik came to save him and take Gazelle. It surprised the small fox of how fast he was to he rescued.
The arm went up and dumped Finnick into the seat next to Ivo, luckily because of his small size, he didn't take up too much space.
"Thanks! How'd you get here so early?" The fennec asked as he looked up at Robotnik, his moustache and fur blowing in the wind.
"A tracking device I put on you. It proved to be quite useful!"
"Kinda creepy, but I don't care! Let's head back... and what happened to her? I don't hear screaming." He asked in acknowledgement to how Gazelle stopped screaming.
"Fainted." He answered back. Finnick jumped up and looked behind, careful not to be blown out. He started to jab the taller fox in the gut.
"Eager to get back? What is it?" The Doctor looked back only to see the stolen transport ships in pursuit.
"Uh, that."
He didn't look fazed. "No matter. A good doctor always comes prepared! I brought reinforcements. I already ordered them to attack."
"But," Finnick started. "They can't keep up up if they're robots or soldiers, dude."
"Oh ho! That's why I built air combat units! They'll at least buy us time to get back to the base. Hopefully they'll shoot the ship down. That cursed jackrabbit won't foil my plan now!"
Just as he said, blue painted robots flying the same speed as them passed by.
"Cool. I don't think they have much gas in the ship though."
"My inventions run on electricity, not fossil fuels." Robotnik stated as he continued to fly the hovercraft skillfully. "And the recharge on a transport only takes an hour to fully charge." He said, bringing a finger up for a brief second.
Gunfire started to erupt from behind as the evil duo flew back to their base as the robots fired at the stolen ship.
Okay! It's 1:00 AM in the morning right now so I'll end the chapter here. Also it appears that the Doctor's plans are starting to come together!
