Robotnik peered through his binoculars at the quaint village resting in the safety of the valley below. Sonic stood impatiently beside him around the edge of the valley, "What now, Doc? I'm gettin' bored here..." he rolled his eyes and tapped his foot.
"Your first duty is to clear out that village and the immediate area surrounding it. I need this space to build my new robot factory. My robots," he gestured to Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts, who were each standing in front of in a large construction machine, "Will comense building it as soon as you are done."
"I can have it done for ya in less than a minute - half if I run fast," Sonic replied.
"Excellent! Then go to it, Sonic!"
Sonic saluted him and ran down the hill. Robotnik laughed at his supreme ingeniousness. At last he had that meddlesome teenager under his command. With Sonic working for him, absolutely nothing could go wrong. He raised his binoculars again so he wouldn't miss a single second of the action. The SSSSS Squad also hurried over to the edge of the valley to watch this evil Sonic at work.
* * *
Tails, who had been following them by air for some time, was watching from the other side of the valley, "What's Sonic doing?"
* * *
"The forecast for today's lookin' pretty dreary folks - so you might as well leave - FOR GOOD!" Sonic twirled faster and faster until he literally became a living tornado. He steered the tornado sporadically through the town, terrifying residents out of their houses as he knocked them down.
* * *
"Oh no! Robotnik must have brainwashed him! I gotta stop him!" Tails flew down into the valley, landing at opposite end of the village.
All the townspeople screamed and ran for their lives, pushing Tails to the ground as they raced by, "Hey! Watch it!" A few had gotten sucked up into Sonic's cyclone and had been thrown into the trees and into the nearby lake.
* * *
"Destruction rocks!" Sonic yelled as leaped out of his blue vortex of doom, "Woo-hoo-YEAH!" He cheered as it crashed into the trees lining the village, uprooting them and exploding them into all directions. The tornado then dissolved as quickly as he had created it. The people continued to run around and panic, calling for help.
* * *
"I gotta do something!" Tails exclaimed, ducking for cover behind the remains of a house, "But there's no way I can stop Sonic!" He sighed.
He glanced towards the construction machines that were left unguarded by the badniks. A plan began to formulate in Tails's mind, "But there's more than one way to rain on a bad guy's parade!"
* * *
"Hmmm.... It's not enough..." Sonic folded his arms and tapped his foot, silently surveying the destruction until an idea hit him, "I KNOW! LET'S BURN 'EM!" He sped away and quickly returned with a sizeable flamethrower cannon perched on his shoulder. He pulled the trigger and a line of flame blasted from it. Sonic laughed maniacally, "AH-HAHAHA-AHAHAHA!"
"Dr. Robotnik!" Grounder cowered behind him as Sonic decimated the landscape, setting everything around him ablaze, "I think you've created a monster!"
Sonic finished his evil deed and zipped back up the hill to Robotnik.
"AT LAST!" Robotnik giggled like a little girl, "So utterly evil! So viciously vile! You're perfect!" he patted Sonic on the back, "Which is much more than I can say for you three coward-bots," he added.
Sonic beamed proudly, "Thanks Doc!" He stuck out his tongue at Grounder, Scratch and Coconuts, then laughed, narrowing his eyes at them, "Heh-heh-heh..." he aimed his flamethrower at them. They cowered, but then he changed his mind and tossed it away, "Nah, maybe later..."
"I never thought I'd see the hedgehog working WITH us!"
"You said it, Coconuts!" Grounder agreed, "And he's an even worser badnik than WE are!"
Sonic had snuck up behind Scratch and swung back his foot, kicking him hard in the back, "Ah, I just couldn't wait!" Sonic replied with a laugh, walking away. Scratch toppled onto Grounder, crushing Coconuts. The flamethrower suddenly fell on top of them, followed by a few more laughs from Sonic.
Scratch mumbled, "Not to mention a pain in the gears."
"Can't you three even stand up for one minute without falling over?" Robotnik growled, "Hurry up and start building my factory!"
"Yeah Slowmos! You gotta learn to stay on your toes or _BAD_ things will happen to ya!" Sonic grinned maliciously, the red tint in his eyes flickering like fire.
They didn't like the sound of that - being annoying was one thing, but this Sonic was, well... scary! "I think I liked him better as an enemy," Grounder whispered.
"Me too!" Coconuts agreed, the three of them heading towards their vehicles, but keeping an eye on Sonic as if any second he'd rip them apart.
Grounder hopped into a giant bulldozer with drills attached to the sides and turned it on. Scratch climbed into a tall crane machine with a fork lift attached to the back and started driving it forward as well. Coconuts also started up a shovel machine that had a cement mixer built into it.
All three headed for the ruined remains of the village but suddenly all their vehicles rotated and started heading towards each other.
* * *
"Hope you guys are wearing seatbelts!" Tails said as he pushed another button on his remote control, making the three machines speed up.
* * *
"What are those idiots doing?" Robotnik spied through his binoculars.
"Yeah, they're not that dumb..." Sonic commented and glanced around the landscape. He spotted a figure standing on the other side of the valley who was watching the machines, "Ah-ha!" He sped towards the figure.
* * *
"Turn around Grounder!" Scratch called, waving his arms.
He yanked at his controls, but they wouldn't budge, "I can't! You do it!"
"Look out!" Coconuts exclaimed as they collided into each other, the machines toppling over into a huge pile, parts tumbling all over the place. A pillar of smoke rose up.
* * *
"Score: Tails 1, Dumb-bots Zip! Yes!" Tails cried, leaping into the air. A hand suddenly seized his leg and brought him down to the ground with a thud, "Hey!"
"Game Over, kid."
Tails looked up and found Sonic staring down at him, his red eyes glaring, "S-Sonic?"
Sonic lifted Tails up and snatched the remote out of Tails's hands, inspecting it for a moment. He dropped him to the ground, "Pretty clever, squirt," Tails tried to get away, but Sonic thrust his arm around Tails's neck in a chokehold, "Why don't we show my boss?" he chuckled as they zoomed back to Robotnik.
Robotnik looked confused, "Tails? What's going on?" Sonic handed him the remote. Robotnik frowned, he had forgotten how resourceful that little brat was with machines, "Oh... so you've been playing a little game with my robots, have you? Well, I despise games!" he snarled.
"What have you done to Sonic?"
"Why... Whatever are you talking about? Sonic's just as evil as he always been!"
"You're lying!" Tails struggled to break free of Sonic's hold, "Sonic! It's me!" Why wouldn't he snap out of it?
"Sonic, take this two-tailed troublemaker back to the dungeon."
"Sure thing, sir!" And he took off, already miles down the road.
Robotnik growled, "Now because of that meddling fox, I'll have to return to my fortress and rebuild my machines. But at least he's out of the way... Now there's no one left to stop my - or should I say Sonic's reign of destruction! HAHAHA!"
