But I do own this story.
A Wily tale
Part 5
Jonny spent his first days getting to know the residents of Knothole and the layout of the village. Since the huts looked so similar he got lost frequently.
"You get used to it." Sonic told him on his third day, "Oh yeah, Sal would like to talk to you."
"Okay... Umm..." Jonny said, looking around, not sure which way to go.
Sonic sighed, "Follow me." and started off for Sally's hut.
Sally had left a note on the door, it said, "Sonic, I left for Rotor's workshop, meet me there, and bring Jonny."
"Huh, wonder what's up..." Jonny said.
"My bet is she wants to ask you some questions." Sonic guessed, "I mean those Swatbots did almost chase you all the way to knothole."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"Hey, No harm, no foul. They didn't find a thing."
They arrived shortly at Rotor's workshop, Jonny Noticed a small junk pile outside the workshop. It could prove useful to him later.
Inside they found Sally, Tails and Rotor talking.
"Hey guys." Tails said looking over his shoulder at the Mobians walking in the door.
"Hi Tails." Sonic and Jonny said, Jonny had taken a liking to the little guy.
"Sonic, I got another message from Uncle Chuck today, 10 more Swatbots have mysteriously disappeared from Robotropolis."
"Strange... I wonder what's going on at Robotropolis..." Sonic rubbed his chin in thought.
"Excuse me, Princess, what did you want to see me about?" Jonny asked calmly.
"Would you mind telling why was Robotnik after you?" Sally said, looking directly at the older fox.
"Well, I'm good with machines... But that's my best bet." Jonny said.
"How good?" Rotor asked.
"You must be exceptional if Robotnik would send even one robot to chase you into the Great Forest." Sally stated.
"Get me the right parts and I could make a device that could stop the rotation of this planet." Jonny boasted, getting stares from the Freedom Fighters.
"I was just kidding." Jonny said waving off their looks. "I'm not that good."
"I have some parts right here, can you show us what you can make?" Rotor said, motioning to the parts on the table.
"Of course." Jonny said as he took a pair of thick sunglasses from his belt and put them on.
Jonny cracked his knuckles and quickly began to weld and build, He worked with a fervor that matched none they have never seen before. He worked like s man possessed, within a span of 15 minutes, his job was done. He turned to reveal a robot. It looked like a bowling ball with wings, bat wings to be precise. It had big eyes and a small round mouth, and was all black besides its wings which were a dark reddish purple. The Freedom fighters looked at the small thing with a puzzled look.
"What is it?" Rotor asked, looking over the robot Jonny held in his hand.
"Let's call it a Botonton." Jonny said, turning it on, the robot flapped its wings and began to flutter around the workshop making a soft screeching noise.
"Interesting..." Rotor said watching it fly around.
Jonny gave a whistle and the bat like robot flew down and landed softly in Jonny's hands. "Would you mind if I kept it Rotor?" he asked.
"I dunno..." The walrus said.
The Bat blinked at Rotor and gave a soft screech.
"It's kinda cute." Tails said.
"Yeah, kinda." Sonic said, giving the robot with a blank look.
"Ok. You can keep it, I mean you built the little guy." Rotor said. "But I would like your help in my workshop if you don't mind."
"I don't mind. But, I'm going to take my new Botonton back to my hut, if you don't mind."
"Not at all, you can start work tomorrow."
"Thanks." Jonny let the robot bat hover behind him as he went out the door. He got a few odd looks from the villagers, but nothing more.
Meanwhile, back at the workshop.
"Sally, there have been a few reports of faint whirring noises late at night." Rotor told her.
"Really?" the Princess asked, unsure of what to make of this new development.
"Yes, but only very late at night." Tails told them.
"Hmmmm..." Sonic said, "I guess we'll to investigate it tonight."
