A/N: Yes, I know, I made up half of that stuff about me. But I only lied
to make myself more lethal of the story. And about Falconessa's note about
a "nose job"... ^^ you'll have to read it to see what I mean.

CHAPTER 5: Party Time
Just as planned, an aristocrat party and auction was being held at the Robotropolice Ball (just like in the episode "Artifact"). All the aristocrats were there. Behind the stage was Robotnik, Sleet, Dingo, and a bunch of SWAT Bots. They looked out seeing everybody talking.
"We're still going to take their mobiums, right?" Dingo asked.
"Yes, of course," Robotnik said.
"But then why did you send a different message to Burgly?" Dingo asked.
"Duh, Dingo, if the hedgehogs have Ryan, then they would bring him here and we would catch him again," Sleet said.
***
Outside, it was just like Robotnik predicted. Ryan stood outside with Sonic, Sonia, and Manic. All three wore their usual, and Ryan still had on his camo pants and black T-shirt with his gun.
"Ryan, you sure about this?" Sonia asked.
"After all, you said you didn't like Bartlby," Sonic said.
"I'm fine. Trust me," Ryan said.
"But what if Robotnik, his goons and a bunch of SWAT Bot's are in there ready to catch you?" Manic asked worriedly. Ryan just smiled.
"You obviously haven't seen me fight," Ryan said.
"How do you fight?" Sonia aked.
"You'll see," was all Ryan said.
The four walked in the ballroom. In the corner was Bartlby talking to a few other aristocrats, a dog, a fox, a wolf, a badger, a cat, and a mink, all males.
"Well, there's Bartlby," Sonia said. The four walked over to him. Bartlby caught his eye on Sonia when they walked to him. The other aristocrats just stared at Ryan blankly.
"Hi, Bartlby, glad you asked us to join," Sonia said.
"Thank you, my princess," Bartlby said kissing Sonia's hand. The boys, including Ryan, rolled their eyes and sighed.
"Who... or WHAT... is this?" the cat aristocrat asked pointing to Ryan.
"Guys, this is Senior Seaman Ryan Perreault," Sonia said screwing up his grade again.
"It's Senior AIRMAN, Sonia. I'm not in the Navy," Ryan said.
"He's a human from the planet Earth," Sonic said.
"Humans?" the wolf aristocrat said.
"We don't like humans on this planet. Why did you decide to come here?" the badger aristocrat asked harshly.
"I did not CHOOSE to come here, Robotnik kidnapped me and took me here," Ryan said harshly back.
"Oh no, not again with all this 'Robotnik is bad' crap," Bartlby said. "I can tell these three brainwashed you."
"You keep saying Robotnik is good but count how many times he kidnapped you. Plus, he's using his SWAT Bot's to capture and robotosize innocent beings," Ryan said back at Bartlby, who was about Ryan's height. Ryan was still taller, though.
"Oh, why don't you grow up and stop fighting Robotnik," the cat aristocrat snapped. Instantly, Ryan grabbed the cat's collar and held him closer to his face. It was in less than half a second! All the aristocrats stopped and saw their attention to Ryan.
"Why don't YOU grow up and get a pair of balls," Ryan said harshly back.
All the aristocrats in the room stared at him wide-eyed.
The badger aristocrat tapped Ryan on the shoulder. Ryan let go of the cat and looked at the badger.
"Hey, dick, you should never disrespect the rich," the badger growled.
"Whatchya gonna do? Spank me?" Ryan mocked.
Sonic and Manic smiled at all this. They never had the guts to tell off the rich like this.
"And besides, I know a lot about this planet more than your cock head does," Ryan said.
"Hey, we're gonna stop your attitude in less than a week, I guarantee it," the dog aristocrat said.
"Aww, then I guess I won't get to see you reach puberty," Ryan said smirking.
Sonic and Manic chucked under their breath. Sonia just sweat in fear.
"Look, I know more about Mobius than you, and I know a lot of people on this planet will like me and I won't let you aristocrats put up with it. So if I want to stay on this planet, I'll stay. And if you don't like it... that's tough shit," Ryan said.
The dog growled and clenched his fists.
"I got your tough shit right here!" the dog yelled. He started to throw a punch at Ryan... but Ryan instantly grabbed it and threw a punch in the dog's gut. The dog lost all his breath as he fell backwards.
Ryan spun on his heel and slammed his fist in the badger's nose. The badger fell backwards over the refreshments table leaving a trail of blood from his nose flying through the air.
Ryan spun and did a spin kick in the cat's gut also knocking the wind out of him. He quickly grabbed a broken table leg and packed it across the fox aristocrat's face. Then he flipped the stick around and knocked the cat off his feet from behind.
The wolf tried to claw Ryan but Ryan rammed the tip of the stick in the wolf's gut also knocking the wind out of him. Ryan spun the stick around between his hands like a Karate master. He stopped and looked at it.
"Cracked the leg from this table, that's not good," Ryan said dropping the leg.
The mink aristocrat was ready to claw Ryan.
"I guess I'll just have to use my hands then," Ryan said. He grabbed the mink's wrist and slammed his fist in the mink's gut. All the aristocrats around there were on the ground trying to catch their breath, or moan about their backs. The badger was holding his bloody nose in pain. Ryan picked up the badger and threw him to the grounder closer to the other aristocrats on the ground.
"Ow! Ow! Ow, my nose! My nose!" the badger whined.
Sonic, Sonia and Manic stared at Ryan wide-eyed. Ryan looked at the three. The entire party was silent and staring at Ryan wide-eyed.
"Now you've seen me fight, was that good?" Ryan asked.
"Uh... wow," was all Sonic could say. Manic smiled and Sonia did a half smile. Ryan looked at Bartlby whom was shaking in fear.
"Next time, don't let your friends do all this to me again, okay?" Ryan asked. Bartlby just nodded his head in fear.
"Good, so, where's the refreshment table?" Ryan asked.
"You broke it with my friend," Bartlby said pointing to the table. Ryan saw it and chuckled.
"I wasn't thirsty anyway."
***
Robotnik, Sleet and Dingo saw it all and they too were wide-eyed.
"Holy shit, you never told me Ryan can do that," Robotnik said.
"What do you mean, I read it from his profile," Sleet said.
"I thought you were joking," Robotnik replied.
***
Sonic and Manic walked in the boys bathroom alone.
"Dude, that guy was like Kung-fu man," Manic said.
"I just liked the fact that he beat up those lousy aristocrats," Sonic said smiling.
"That I give him credit for," Manic replied.
Sonic and Manic stood in front of two urinals.
"So, you think this guy can take on any of Robotnik's forces?" Manic asked.
"I hope so. He said they wanted to robotosize him as a first human," Sonic said.
"What else can he do?" Manic asked.
"Well, he did say he's a weapons expert. He did shoot that SWAT Bot that held me," Sonic said.
"Yeah, and a sharpshooter," Manic said. "But can he play instruments?"
"Maybe," Sonic said.
***
In the ballroom, the stage lit up at Robotnik stepped on with a microphone.
"Welcome to the Robotropolice Auction," Robotnik said. He held up a strange small green spherical object. "Our first item up for bid is this genuine, one-of-a-kind, unknown object. Anyone who doesn't bid would be considered part of the Resistance!"
Instantly, all the aristocrats shot up their hands yelling out numbers. Ryan sighed.
"Dickheads," Ryan said softly.
The dog aristocrat, after catching his breath from Ryan a few minutes ago, turned and looked at Ryan.
"What did you call us?" the dog growled angrily.
"Who asked you?" Ryan said as he slapped the dog across the face. The dog was knocked out and he fell to the floor. No one noticed it.
"Excuse me, I need to head to the girls' room," Sonia said, beginning to leave.
"Good idea," Ryan said, following Sonia. As he walked, he stayed low behind the aristocrats, making sure Robotnik didn't see him.
Sonia and Ryan made it to the two bathrooms for men and women. Sonia walked in the ladies room... and so did Ryan!
Inside the vacant restroom, Sonia turned around and saw him.
"Ryan, what are you doing here?" Sonia asked.
"If Robotnik's gonna search for me, I better be in a place where he might not suspect I'm in," Ryan said.
***
Robotnik handed the green thing to Bartlby as he walked on the stage.
"You got this at a bargain," Robotnik said. Bartlby left. Robotnik looked around and noticed the dog aristocrat laying on the floor in pain. It looks like Ryan's work all right, but Ryan wasn't there. He turned and headed to the backstage.
"Sleet, Dingo, where's Ryan?" Robotnik whispered harshly. Sleet and Dingo were hidden in the backstage with the SWAT Bots.
"I don't know. He was there a minute ago. Then he was gone," Sleet said.
"Well, find him," Robotnik said. He turned back to the aristocrat crowd. "Our next item is--"
Sleet and Dingo quickly looked through the crowd of aristocrats but couldn't find Ryan.
"Look in the back rooms and I'll look in the side rooms," Sleet said. The two split up.
***
Ryan, in the girls bathroom, climbed on the sinks to get close to the vent across from the men's room.
"Sonic! Manic!" Ryan called in.
In the boy's room, Sonic and Manic finished washing their hands.
"Hey! Sonic and Manic!" Ryan's voice came from the vent. Sonic and Manic looked up at the vent.
"Ryan?" Sonic asked.
"Listen, this place must be crawling with SWAT Bots. I want you two to come in the girls bathroom with me," Ryan said.
"Say what?" Sonia yelled.
"Trust me, I did this strategy in a paintball fight once. You go to the boy's room," Ryan said.
Upon hearing that, Sonia smiled. She ran out of the bathroom and into the boys room. Sonic and Manic ran out of the boy's bathroom and into the girls room.
"What is it?" Sonic asked. Manic just looked around and smiled.
"Wow..." Manic said softly.
"You guys have a nice men's rooms," Sonia called from the vent screen. Sonic growled.
"Listen up you three. Listen carefully," Ryan called to make sure all three heard him.
***
Sleet and Dingo met up back in the ballroom again.
"I can't find them," Dingo said.
"We looked everywhere... except..." Sleet said. He turned his attention to the bathrooms.
Sleet and Dingo broke into the mens' room... and they see Sonia standing in front of a urinal! The board next to the urinals was blocking everything behind. But she's not doing anything. She's just moaning happily in front of it making Sleet and Dingo thinking she's going.
Sleet and Dingo were wide-eyed.
"Is Sonia a guy?" Sleet said shocked. Dingo passed out.
***
In the girls' room, Manic removed a ceiling vent while standing on the toilet stall walls. He removed it and climbed in it. Soon, Sonic climbed in it. Ryan climbed up in the vents too. When he was in, he purposely slammed the vent screen on the floor making a lot of noise.
***
Sleet and Dingo heard the bang and they ran into the ladies room.
***
Sonia stopped her moaning and wiped sweat off her face.
"I thought they'd never leave," she said to herself. Then she noticed in the position she's in, she began to think. "Hmm, I wonder what it's like to pee standing up in front of these things."
Then she snapped out of it and remembered what to do. She pulled up her underwear under her skirt and ran out of the men's room.
***
Sleet and Dingo noticed the ladies' room was empty. All of a sudden, the bathroom door slammed open and it knocked Dingo off his feet. Sleet turned around only to get hit in the face by one of Sonia's flying Karate kicks. Sleet fall onto his back from the blow.
She then ran outside and into the crowd.
***
Ryan, Sonic, and Manic are crawling through the vents right above the stage where Robotnik is. Ryan stopped and looked down.
"I see Robotnik," Ryan said. "Here I go!"
Sonic and Manic were confused on what was going to happen. Suddenly, Ryan rammed himself through the floor of the vent and fell downwards!
"Ryan! Are you nuts?" Sonic yelled.
Ryan fell face forward down to Robotnik. Robotnik looked up and saw Ryan coming. Before Robotnik got a chance to move, Ryan fell on Robotnik. Ryan punched Robotnik across the face a few times. Then he kneed Robotnik in the crotch. The two got up and stared at each other.
The aristocrats started screaming in fear seeing Ryan fighting Robotnik.
"I knew you'd come," Robotnik said. He swung his metallic arm to punch Ryan. Instantly, Ryan ducked the punch. He quickly got up and grabbed Robotnik's arm from behind. He twisted Robotnik's wrist causing Robotnik to scream in pain and fall on his butt. While still holding onto Robotnik's wrist, Ryan spun on one heel and Karate-kicked Robotnik in the face. Ryan let go of Robotnik as he fell on his back in pain.
The backstage curtain opened and out came a bunch of SWAT Bot's! Ryan pulled out his barette and started shooting at the bots as he ran. A few bots were destroyed. Ryan jumped off the stage and ran through the crowd of aristocrats.
"Somebody catch that boy!" Robotnik yelled.
The aristocrats began to grab Ryan, but Ryan held out his gun to them and pointed it at them all.
"Stay away or I'll kill ya!" Ryan screamed.
All the aristocrats stepped away from Ryan in fear. They all began screaming in terror.
"Back off! I'll shoot you! I mean it!" Ryan yelled as he ran through the crowd while holding his gun out to them.
"Wait for us!" Sonic yelled. Sonic and Manic jumped from the vents and followed Ryan. The aristocrats began to grab the two.
"Drop 'em or die! I swear to you I'm a VERY, VERY excellent shot!" Ryan yelled. The aristocrats dropped Sonic and Manic. The two ran to Ryan as the aristocrats made a path.
Sonia came running through from the bathrooms. Without hesitation, the aristocrats just made a path without Ryan telling them too. Sonia ran to Ryan.
The SWAT Bots jumped from the stage and started heading to the four. Ryan shot more bullets at the bots! More were hit and broken by the armor- piercing bullets. The bots quickly moved back and started firing from the stage.
Ryan looked at Bartlby and noticed the green thing in Bartlby's hand. It was a grenade. He ran to Bartlby.
"Give me that!" Ryan yelled.
"No, it's mine," Bartlby replied. Ryan pointed his gun at Bartlby's forehead with the barrel touching his skin.
"Give it or I'll kill you!" Ryan yelled. Bartlby, in fear, handed Ryan the grenade. Ryan snatched it and ran back to the hedgehogs. The four ran to a huge window and stood at the windowsill. Ryan faced the Bots on the stage. He fired a few bullets in the air. The screaming of the aristocrats stopped.
"Hey, dickbots! You better heat up!" Ryan yelled with a smile. He pulled the pin on the grenade. He tossed the grenade and the trigger came flying off. The grenade flew and flew into the backstage with the bots.
"I suggest you aristocrats take cover," Ryan said.
Ryan grabbed the three hedgehogs and the four of them leaped out the window.
Inside, the grenade exploded and all the SWAT Bot's were destroyed. Robotnik jumped off the stage as the explosion built up. The aristocrats began screaming again.
"Run through the windows!" Robotnik yelled. All the aristocrats jumped through the windows, opposite side of what Ryan and the hedgehogs jumped through.
Ryan and the hedgehogs landed on the lawn outside as the windows shattered behind them from the flame.
All the aristocrats made it outside leaving Robotnik, Sleet, and Dingo. The three ran and ran as the fire built up behind them. The explosion fire was building fast behind them like they were running from a burning gas station.
The three jumped through the window. A second later, the windows shone with explosion flames. Soon the walls were blown away!
Ryan, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic got up and ran and ran as the whole ballroom building exploded in a huge fireball!
The four ran, jumped over the fence and did not stop. Robotnik, Sleet and Dingo and the rest of the aristocrats did the same thing.
Soon, the explosion stopped. All that was left were just flames and very small remains of the building. Not just the ballroom was destroyed, so was the whole building! And the building was huge.
Robotnik and the rest looked at it in fear. Many of the aristocrats were crying in fear. Robotnik and the other two just stared at the flames wide-eyed.
"Civil Air Patrol cadet... Karate master... sharpshooter... weapons expert... 120 intelligence..." Robotnik paused, "... what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?"
"I was about to ask the same thing," Sleet said worriedly.
TO BE CONTINUED...
===================================================== A/N: Hope you're enjoying this, and I hope Robotnik, Sleet and Dingo are worried. First off... YES, they're all true. I was in a paintball battle once and I did try that strategy in a state park. It worked and everything you read happened exactly on that day. Our squad won the paintball battle, but I was shot about 10 minutes after that strategy so I can't say I claimed myself the victor that day. Oh well. Another thing... YES, I AM a good sharpshooter! And all that Karate stuff I did to Robotnik and the aristocrats, I CAN do that! Like I said, you take me without permission... and you'll have broken bones galore! =====================================================
CHAPTER 5: Party Time

"Who... or WHAT... is this?" the cat aristocrat asked pointing to Ryan.
"Guys, this is Senior Seaman Ryan Perreault," Sonia said screwing up his grade again.
"It's Senior AIRMAN, Sonia. I'm not in the Navy," Ryan said.
"He's a human from the planet Earth," Sonic said.
"Humans?" the wolf aristocrat said.
"We don't like humans on this planet. Why did you decide to come here?" the badger aristocrat asked harshly.
"I did not CHOOSE to come here, Robotnik kidnapped me and took me here," Ryan said harshly back.

"Dude, that guy was like Kung-fu man," Manic said.
"I just liked the fact that he beat up those lousy aristocrats," Sonic said smiling.
"That I give him credit for," Manic replied.
Sonic and Manic stood in front of two urinals.

Sonia came running through from the bathrooms. Without hesitation, the aristocrats just made a path without Ryan telling them too. Sonia ran to Ryan.
The SWAT Bots jumped from the stage and started heading to the four. Ryan shot more bullets at the bots! More were hit and broken by the armor- piercing bullets. The bots quickly moved back and started firing from the stage.
Ryan looked at Bartlby and noticed the green thing in Bartlby's hand. It was a grenade. He ran to Bartlby.
"Give me that!" Ryan yelled.
"No, it's mine," Bartlby replied. Ryan pointed his gun at Bartlby's forehead with the barrel touching his skin.
"Give it or I'll kill you!" Ryan yelled. Bartlby, in fear, handed Ryan the grenade. Ryan snatched it and ran back to the hedgehogs. The four ran to a huge window and stood at the windowsill. Ryan faced the Bots on the stage. He fired a few bullets in the air. The screaming of the aristocrats stopped.
"Hey, dickbots! You better heat up!" Ryan yelled with a smile. He pulled the pin on the grenade. He tossed the grenade and the trigger came flying off. The grenade flew and flew into the backstage with the bots.
"I suggest you aristocrats take cover," Ryan said.
Ryan grabbed the three hedgehogs and the four of them leaped out the window.
Inside, the grenade exploded and all the SWAT Bot's were destroyed. Robotnik jumped off the stage as the explosion built up. The aristocrats began screaming again.
"Run through the windows!" Robotnik yelled. All the aristocrats jumped through the windows, opposite side of what Ryan and the hedgehogs jumped through.
Ryan and the hedgehogs landed on the lawn outside as the windows shattered behind them from the flame.
All the aristocrats made it outside leaving Robotnik, Sleet, and Dingo. The three ran and ran as the fire built up behind them. The explosion fire was building fast behind them like they were running from a burning gas station.
The three jumped through the window. A second later, the windows shone with explosion flames. Soon the walls were blown away!
Ryan, Sonic, Sonia, and Manic got up and ran and ran as the whole ballroom building exploded in a huge fireball!
The four ran, jumped over the fence and did not stop. Robotnik, Sleet and Dingo and the rest of the aristocrats did the same thing.
Soon, the explosion stopped. All that was left were just flames and very small remains of the building. Not just the ballroom was destroyed, so was the whole building! And the building was huge.
Robotnik and the rest looked at it in fear. Many of the aristocrats were crying in fear. Robotnik and the other two just stared at the flames wide-eyed.
"Civil Air Patrol cadet... Karate master... sharpshooter... weapons expert... 120 intelligence..." Robotnik paused, "... what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?"
"I was about to ask the same thing," Sleet said worriedly.
TO BE CONTINUED...
===================================================== A/N: Hope you're enjoying this, and I hope Robotnik, Sleet and Dingo are worried. First off... YES, they're all true. I was in a paintball battle once and I did try that strategy in a state park. It worked and everything you read happened exactly on that day. Our squad won the paintball battle, but I was shot about 10 minutes after that strategy so I can't say I claimed myself the victor that day. Oh well. Another thing... YES, I AM a good sharpshooter! And all that Karate stuff I did to Robotnik and the aristocrats, I CAN do that! Like I said, you take me without permission... and you'll have broken bones galore! =====================================================
