Sonic Heroes: Switching Role
"Behold my Evil Robots of Doom! My friend, Rei the Hedgehog, gave me a hand in building them," the Foxboy robot said, as Team Chaotix watched the horde of robots walking towards them like zombies.
"I-I-I-It's horrible!" Vetcor said as he backed off in horror.
"Yes!" The Foxboy robot laughed, "Fear my army of RICHARD SIMMONS AND BARNEY ROBOTS!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Team Chaotix screamed and began to run for their lives, their screams of fear were then joined with Team Dark's, Team Shadow's and Team Cream's.

"They're gaining on us!" Rouge said, looking behind her.
"Then keep running," Shadow said when one of the Barney robots stepped in front of him, causing the black hedgehog to crash right into it, "Ow".
"What are we going to do?" Big asked as he shoved one of the Richard Simmons bots away from him.
"The only thing, we can do," Shadow said as he used chaos spear at a group of Richard Simmons robots, "Hit them hard and hit them fast." Rouge then turned round smashed her foot right in to one of the robots which then caused a domino effect. As the last of the robots fell and failed to get up again, Team Shadow stare at outcome with a look that showed they were surprised at what just happen.

Foxboy shoved another handful of popcorn into his mouth as he watched, with much amusement Team Dark's reaction to the robots. Metal started by smashing into the robots and then, after a while, he began running round in a circle, screaming while being chased. Knuckles was the most amusing out of the lot, Foxboy thought. The red echidna was throwing whatever he could get his hands on at the robots, which was usually another robot, and in one case, Nack.
"Doctor, answer me!" Sonic said ignoring what was happing around him. The mad scientist glanced at the blue hedgehog and then turned his attention to the other members of Team Dark. Angry at not getting any answers to his questions, Sonic suddenly let out a scream of fury and punched one of the Richard Simmons robots, sending it crashing into a wall. Foxboy and Team Dark watched in stunned silence as Sonic destroyed each robot, one by one, with his bare hands. Within moments, all of the robots are destroyed and Sonic is standing on top of the heap.
"Don't think you've won yet!" Foxboy said as he quickly turned his walker back into its bi-plane form and flew away. Sonic then grabbed Nack, Metal and Knuckles by their wrists and rocketed after the mad genius.

"What will we do Vector?" Charmy said as the Richard Simmons and Barney robots slowly closed in on them. Quickly pulling his microphone, Vector replied, "Follow my lead boys", Espio, Charmy and Mighty then pulled out their banjo/guitar, drum and keyboard and started playing while Vector started to sing.
"Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh (yeah)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh (yeah)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh"
As Vector continued to sing, the robots soon started to spark and blow up. Realising that the robots were beaten, the fake Foxboy quickly fled as he yelled, "Don't get so excited boys, those were the easy ones"
oo00oo00oo
Team Cream continued to run through hallways while the robots chased after them, making it look like a chase scene from Scooby Doo, in fact you could even hear the Scooby Doo theme song playing in the background. Cream and the others soon duck into a door, where they find a shotgun.
"This must be one of Foxboy's guns" Cream said as she stared at it.
"How can you tell?" Eggman asked as he tried to keep the door closed.
"It has the words "property of Foxboy" carved on it".
Just then one of the Richard Simmons robots smashed its head through the wall. Eggman quickly grabbed the shotgun and used it to push the robot's head back through the hole. As it stood up the robot turned to one of the Barney robots and began to speak, and since none of us speak robot, it will be translated to English.
" They have weapons " the robot said to the robotic Barney.
" So? " the Barney robot ask and soon got its answer as Eggman pointed the shotgun out of the hole in the wall and fired blowing Richard Simmons bot's head off.
" Fuck "

Back in his base, Foxboy watched the progress of the heroes through his spy cameras and frowned when he saw all of his Evil Robots of Doom were destroyed.
"Rei's not going to be pleased when she finds out that all the hard work we put into those robots has been wasted," he said as he watched the different ways the robots were destroyed. "Still, seeing as Shadow and his friends have reached the base in Rail Canyon, everything is going according to plan".
Taking one more look at one of the monitors, Foxboy reached into one of the desk drawers and pulled out a small walkie-talkie.
"Here is your next mission"
oo00oo00oo
"This is it. We're here at Foxboy's base" Nack said as he and the rest of Team Dark grinded down the rail. As he looked around, Nack saw miles and miles of rails all of which, to his dismay, were all above deep canyons but fortunately there were also a number of platforms.
As the four dark heroes landed on the first platform, Metal suddenly began to look around him as if he was trying to find something, "What is it Metal?" Sonic asked as he noticed the robot's frantic search.
"Sensors detect unknown target, attempts to find it failing" Metal replied as the team started to continue the mission.
Then, without warning, a boy suddenly jump out in front of them causing Sonic and Knuckles, who realised who the boy was, to scream as if they just saw their worst nightmare.
"Hi, I'm Chris Thorndyke and I'm here to help you"
The blue hedgehog and red echidna continued to scream in terror as they remembered the horror of the annoying kid that kept showing up and gave useless hints during the whole ARK adventure.
"KILL IT, KILL IT!" the two yelled as Nack drew his automatic handgun and shot Chris,
"Ow, why did you shoot me?"
"It's still alive, SHOOT!"
BLAM!
The four heroes then let out a sigh of relief as they saw Chris fall to the ground, "Well mates," Nack said as he put his gun back into it holster, "Glad tha-"
"Did you find the digging tool yet?"
"AGGGHHH!"
BLAM! BLAM!
"Th-"
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
"…"
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
"Now that…" Sonic repeated several times as he kept pausing and turning round to face Chris, expecting him to suddenly start talking again, yet Chris remained silent and motionless. With a nervous look on his face, in case Chris suddenly gets up, Knuckles carefully used his foot to shove Chris off the platform and into the really deep canyon below.
"Just to be on the safe side" Knuckles said as he turned back to the others.
oo00oo00oo
Meanwhile down at the bottom of the canyon, Chris' body hits the ground. Super Metal Sonic (a gold, taller and spikier version of Metal Sonic) appeared out of the shadows and started hacking away at the body with a chainsaw while screaming, "Die Chris Die".
oo00oo00oo
"Well, we finally here" Mighty said as he looked at the map he was carrying to make sure they were in the right place.
"It's a good thing we actually got here, considering how that hippie wouldn't let us pass unless we joined his protest to make Pot legal," Espio said as he counted the number of rails that were all over the place.
"Well, I sure solved that problem" Vector said as he joined in the conversation.
"Yeah, but the way you did it, I'm still not sure about"
"Will you relax… whoa, I suddenly feel weird"
"I told you not to eat that hippie" Espio said as Vector stared at his hands, who then said in a slurred voice, "Dude...My fingers are huuuuuge".
Glancing over to Mighty and Charmy, both of which had the same nervous look on their face as his. Espio said, "Let's get on with the mission, maybe he'll come out of it soon"
"Whoa, have I always had two feet?"
oo00oo00oo
"Eggman look out!" Amy and Cream both yell as they noticed the two rails Eggman was grinding on, started to go off in opposites directions.
The entire team cringed as Eggman ended up learning how to do a split, the painful way.
oo00oo00oo
Foxboy watched as the four teams of heroes fought their way to his base.
"That's right, you fools," he said, with an evil smirk on his face, "Come and stop me, even if you do defeat me, you will be too late too stop the first part of my plan."
"Must you always gloat?" the unseen prisoner asked as Foxboy started to laugh madly.
"SHUT UP!"
oo00oo00oo
"We just need to destroy have more of those pod things and that's us completed the mission" Mighty said as he smashed another of the weird pods, scattering around the base, in pieces.
Vector merely held his head and asked, "Ow, can you get an hangover from Pot?"
oo00oo00oo
As Team Shadow reached a large runway, they once again heard Foxboy's theme music as the evil mastermind arrived in a larger and more deadly version of the Fox Hawk ship.
"Behold my Fox Albatross, it will destroy you all" Foxboy yelled as he aimed the ships vast weapons at the heroes.
Then Chris appeared in front of them, causing the four heroes and the villain to scream in terror. Chris then proceeded to jump on to Foxboy's ship causing the mad scientist to, in a state of pure terror, fly around madly and then crash.
Team Shadow stood in complete silence, unable to believe what just happened. After recovering from the shock, the heroes did their victory poses and received an A rank
oo00oo00oo
As Team Shadow approached the wreck remains the Fox Albatross, they saw the form of Foxboy lying motionless on the ground.
"He's not dead is he?" Shadow asked aloud, "I mean sure he's an evil villain and a pain in the butt, but still he's also just a kid".
Suddenly, a speaker built crudely to look like Foxboy's head popped out of Foxboy's chest, giving Shadow the fright of his life.
"Fools," the now apparent Foxboy robot said, "While you been fighting this robot, I have already launched my Fox Fleet"
Looking up, Team Shadow saw an enormous fleet of war ships, which for some strange reason are designed to look like fish.
"Aw man, we've been tricked. Come on, we've got to go after them" Shadow said as he turned round and ran off after the ships.
oo00oo00oo
Cream stomped her foot angrily as the fake Foxboy robot laid on the ground, the crude head rocking back and forth on it's spring from the robot's chest, like some sort of Jack in the box.
"Hey, this is a fake" she said as she gave the robot a sharp kick.
"Froggy?" Eggman yelled as he looked around, "Where are you pal? Let's just go home"
"What the matter Cheese?" Amy asked the small blue Chao, knowing that it was most likely upset about Chocola.
"A Chaonapping" Cream said as she turned to face the others, "But why would anyone do it?" Amy asked, Cream then replied, "I don't know but I'm sure that we'll know when we find Foxboy"
oo00oo00oo
As Vector stared at the wrecked ship and the fake Foxboy, he smiled at what he knew was a job well done.
"Good job boys" Vector said as he faced Espio and the others, "Guess that Foxboy was a fake after all" he then added as he gave the Foxboy robot another glance.
"Of course he was a fake" the client's voice said as the walkie-talkie buzzed to life.
"Huh?"
"There is a forest to the north, go there next" the walkie-talkie quickly stated and then clicked off. As the four detectives started to leave, Charmy suddenly thought of something, "You know what… our client seems to sure know a lot about Dr Foxboy"
"Definitely an agent" Espio replied, "A relative perhaps"
"You think it's his mum checking up on him?" Mighty said chuckling.
"Strangely enough, I can't but help think about our client's real identity" Vector said as he turned to look at the Foxboy robot and begins to wonder…
oo00oo00oo
"MHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The Foxboy decoy continued to laugh as Metal stared at it, rage boiling inside him. Knuckles began to take in his surroundings when he saw Sonic standing over something, looking closer Knuckles saw that it was some sort of Sonic look alike.
"Sonic?" Knuckles asked as he realise that this could mean that Sonic could indeed have been killed back at the ARK incident.
Ignoring what Knuckles had said, Sonic turned and said, "Let's go"
oo00oo00oo
As Team Dark left, the fake Foxboy began to slowly melt into a silvery pool of liquid metal, then reformed into the form of Omega.
"Ultimate Life Form data has been copied!" Omega said with a look that suggests that, if Omega had a mouth, he would be smiling in a way that would scare anyone who saw it.

Next in Chapter 9. Giant Frogs, Robots and Crocodiles oh my. The Shadow Heroes enter the jungles as they continue their search for Foxboy, all the while the Metal close in.
