Scratch One Chicken
-----------------------------A Race Against Time
"Where is it? Where is it?" Scratch was running down the many hallways of Central Egg Carrier, this place was build like a maze! Right now he wished Tails kept that black box in his system so he could know which way to go right now.
He came to the center, stopped and spun around with his eyes widened. There was a hallway in every direction right now marked with numbers and signs, how could he let this happen? This was a trap that Robotnik made to get rid of Sonic and his friends so many years before. There was one way in and one way out, the rest lead to something that would surely destory him.
"Awwwww..."
"SHOOT!" Tails felt another rough rumbling before the ship started to transform again. The Large walls around them where slowly lowering down so the ship was reverting back to its orginal form. The three on deck looked around confused, the ship only transformed back and forth when Eggman left the control room.
"What's going on?" Amy said scared, she steped back and withdrew her hammer in case she needed it. " This never happened before..."
"I know...I know!" Tails said, he was trying to remain calm right now, though he was worried as well. Its been more then a hour since Sonic and Scratch went into the Sky deck, and he was working with a pile of useless parts. " But there's nothing we can do in there! Scratch and Coconuts know that place better then all of us...we have to leave this to them..."
"Well I don't trust them!" Knuckles said firmly before he walked towards the back of the ship to look over the side.
Amy turned her head and stuck her tounge out at Knuckles playfully. " You don't trust anyone!"
"Well..." Knuckles reached the end of the ship where the railing was and leaned over to look down with his viloet eyes. " I especially don't like....WHOA!" Knuckles' eyes widened as he seen what was below them.
Amy and Tails rushed beside him and seen that they were over a area of land covered with Ice and Snow! They never seen Ice and Snow outside of the Icecap zone before, so this really worried them. They all lived in the South and this was extreamly new to them.
"Where is he taking us?" Knuckles muttered breathlessly.

Scratch was trying every way he could to try and figure out the code that was keeping him from continueing forward. All the doors looked the same besides the numbers along them, just some roman numerals with a X between them.
He growled a little and whipped his head up to scream. " GIVE ME A SIGN! " He looked up at the ceiling and see one...a equal sign (=) to be exact.
Scratch looked back to the doors again, oh great...a Math problem...but which was one right? Robotnik always said that he was the number one genious in the world...so..."1 times 1 is...one! Bwa! He can't outsmart me...well not anymore!"
He ran down the hallway, sure enough it looked bare, and it was going uphill towards the top of the ship where the control room was. It was getting tiring running up there, the strech was more then a mile long. "How..." Pant-pant..."How can Sonic put up with this?"
----------------
This was it. Sonic thought in his mind as his arms where placed in metal clamps on the table where the Robotnization Process would be done. His legs where already in the metal clamps below him and all he could do was glare up at Robotnik. There was no way out of it, though he tried to even now. The metal clamps shook as he tried to roll up into a ball, which involed his arms snapping forward every few seconds.
"To keep your voicebox or not? It might be nice to hear you beg for mercy..." Robotnik was enjoying himself now, setting the controls on the Robotizer as Sonic continued to try and break free. "I think I'll do this...as painfully as possible..."
"Okay, ya got me Robotnik...now what's the deal with the Omega Stone?" Sonic spoke up after he stopped pulling at the restraits. Now he was looking up at the large pole which would emit the Robotizing ray in a Few Minutes.
"I gave it to Scratch as a Power Source...my biggest mistake..." Robotnik said to put it simply, he was still pushing buttons here and there, he wanted this robotization to be special....
"No..." Sonic thought of how to put it for a moment before he spoke up. "Why do you want the Omega Stone? What's so importaint about it?"
Scratch was almost there, he could see the light at the end of the tunnel. He was moving slowly now, his energy was drained for the moment from all the excitment that he was going though today. As soon as he pushed himself out of the hallway he fell down on his stomach in front of the control room panting hard.
"Hmmmm? I don't hear anything out there..." Scratch slowly pushed onto his hands (Or is it wings?) and knees and moved forward to poke his head into the room, his eyes widened a little since the Room was Empty. "Where did that friggin' whale go? He can't walk far..."
Robotnik looked back to Sonic with that nasty smirk still on his face. "When I power down Scratch to get the stone, it will only be the begging!" Up here there is a ancient weapon of destuction! A weapon which could allow me to Robotize the whole world with the push of a button to my liking!" He laughed evily though. "The Omega Weapon! It requires the power from the Omega Stones!"
"Omega Stones? There's...more then one?" Sonic blinked in confusion, he though the Omega stone was one of a Kind! Right now he had to look back towards the top of the room since the Robotizing ray was charging up, turning a bright yellow.
"Of course you idiot! There are seven Omega Stones, the stones are called the 'Servers' in ancient lore or some babble like that!"
[AN: Robotnik's text is slanted in Italics during this scene]
Scratch had to do this fast, he had a bad feeling right now. He walked over to the control pannel and started to feel around aimlessly for the pannel which held the power supply for the ship.
The ancient mobians, the stupid creatures stored them in the bodies of Mobians thoughout the world!
Scratch was easily fustrated though and just smacked the control pannel, which made a peice of it flip open to show a shimmering peice of gem inside of it. Bingo.
The Mobians were born many centuries ago...but the Omega stones still live in the bodies of Mobians living today!
Scratch reached into the pannel in his chest and closed his eyes, he was going to do this fast, real fast. He clentched the thing with one hand and yanked it out then jammed it forcefully into the pannel.
I didn't think that it was anything importaint...when I found Scratch had the Omega Stone because I didn't know the Legend!
'Power System missing! System Shutdown in one minute.' [AN: End of the Robotnik Voiceover]
"But isn't Scratch just a Robot though? He couldn't have had the Omega stone if he was just a Robot..." Sonic thought about it for a moment before looking back up at the ray. He was nervious as ever about it, but couldn't do anything about it. The process was about to start now, the machine was whining loudly now.
"You fool! Scratch's code number is 000000001! His ROBIAN code number is 000000001! He was the beta tester for my Robotizer!"
Scratch started to weaken, he could barely hold himself up, but he could see that the pannel was sparking from the power put into it. It made him smirk, he was finally doing something right!
System Shutdown in 30 seconds...
'Warning, Power Overload in Control Room. Engines overloaded and Shutting doooowwwwwwnnnn...' The computer's voice was slowing down, he did it!
Scratch yanked out the Omegastone and fell back on his back, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He just hoped it was enough to power down the Ship. He was now feeling around for the hole in his chest to put the stone back it, but he couldn't see now and was starting to fall into the dark void he falls into when he was powered down.
-----------------------------
Sort of a Cliffhanger this chapter n_n...I thought it was good cutting it off right here. I know Scratch is actually a Robot and not a Robian, but it builds onto the story.
