Chapter 9

Recap, Rec and the girls were lost in the city of Robotropolis and were found by Chuck, Sonic's uncle. The Freedom Fighters were still looking and as for me, I still wanted to go at it alone. Unknown to all of us, Robotnik was waiting for Icer to report back, but he didn't expect what was going to happen next.......

=Robotropolis, control tower=

*Robotnik was in his chair, getting irritated, wondering why Icer hasn't called back yet*

Robotnik: WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!!!

*Just then, his computer was making a beeping noise. *

Robotnik: Ah, that must be Icer.... He must have gotten that mysterious Overlander.

*He goes over to the computer and presses a button, the screen turns on*

Swatbot29387: Sir, we report that Icer has been killed.

*The swatbot was in the same factory Mimic fought in, a few swatbots in the background were trying to get the sword out of Icer's head*

Robotnik: ....... WHAT!!!!!!!!!

Swatbot29387: We found Icer on the ground with his sword impaled in his head.

Robotnik: I WANT ALL UNITS TO FIND THE ONE WHO DID THIS AND I WANT HIM BROUGHT TO ME, DEAD OR ALIVE!!!

Swatbot29387: Yes sir.

*The screen went black. As you know would know, Robotnik is mad as hell about this. *

-------------------

=In the sewers=

*Rec and the girls are following Chuck down the sewers to a safe location. Rec kept asking the same question kids ask when in a car for a long trip*

Rec: Are we there yet?

Vee-Jay: ¬¬(+) For the love of..... NO REC AND FOR THE LAST TIME, STOP ASKING!!!!!

*That scared the heck out of Rec; he kept his mouth shut after that. *

Kusatsu: So where exactly are we going again?

Chuck: To the city limits, there are fewer Swat bots there. So it'll be easier to escape there.

Rec: Sweet........are we there yet?

*Vee-jay then took out a mallet out of nowhere and smacked Rec upside the head*

Kusatsu: Way to go, Vee-Jay. ^_^

*Chuck the picked up Rec and they all continued down the sewer*

----------------------------------

=Knothole, medical hut=

*Shadow was in bed with bandages on his head, he moaned as he slowly opened his eyes and tried to remember what happened. *

Shadow: *thinking* 'Let's see, last thing I remember is that I punched that masked man and then I got hit hard; everything went dark after that. He must have knocked me out.'

*He got up from bed, Dr. Quack enters the hut*

Quack: What do you think you are doing?

Shadow: I got to get to the others and....

Quack: After what happened to you? Not a chance, you are to stay here till Ms. Acorn says other wise.

*Shadow was officially pissed off*

Shadow: Now listen here; I must get to the others because they might need me. If you have a problem with that...*he gives the Doctor the idea by cracking his knuckles*(No, not the guardian)

------------------------------

=Robotropolis=

*I was in an alley when I saw Sonic run passed followed by a couple of hovercrafts*

Mimic: Guess Robotnik just increased sercurity, better find the other Freedom Fighters. Something tells me that we'll have to rethink this plan.

*I go off to go to the waypoint we agreed on; Little did I know, someone was following me*

*On a nearby rooftop, another cyborg creation of robotnik was crouching on the edge of the roof; watching me. He was shrouded by darkness, making it hard to see what he looks like. He glared at me with his glowing neon-blue eyes; grinning*

?????: *thinking* 'So, this was the one who defeated Icer. He shall pay a high price for his butalility on Icer.'

*He then disappeared in the shadows with that creepy grin of his; his eyes slowly fading into the darkness*

Torcher: We'll get the other stories up soon; so get ready.....uh, which button turns off the chapter?

Mimic: The red one.....

*Torcher goes over to the story controls*

Torcher: Mimic........all the buttons are red; the only thing different about them is that they are in different shades of red!

Mimic: It's the one that looks like blood, on your left.

*Torcher presses one of the buttons on that side, a sandbag hits him on the head*

Torcher: X_o The pain......

Mimic: -_-;;*sigh* Why do I even try.......
