Chapter 25, Robotroplis.

Resistance HQ, War room.

Knuckles was looking over some resent reports while he waited for Might and Ray to arrive, despite some of the Resistance's resent successes, they had also had many failures and many members had been captured.

After a few minutes the door opened and Mighty and Ray walked in, "You wanted to see us" said Might, "Yes I've got an important mission for you two" said Knuckles with a half-smile.

Knuckles pressed a button and the large screen showed a blurry picture of a large city, even with the poor quality of the picture the city looked horrible, the buildings was all clearly made of metal and everything seemed to be pumping out thick clouds of pollution.

"Woah, what is that place, it looks like something out of my nightmares" asked Ray, "This used to be Sunset heights, but Eggman's finished converting it into his own idea of a city, now he calls it Robotropolis" explained Knuckles with a hint of anger in his voice.

"You're kidding me, Sunset heights was so beautiful, how could Eggman turn it into this" said Mighty, "Well from what we know so far Robotroplis is now Eggman's largest industrial area, its filled with his factories" explained Knuckles.

"That's just great, more robots to deal with" said Mighty sarcastically, "Knuckles isn't there anything we can do to stop him" asked Ray, "Actually that's why I called you two here" said Knuckles, both Mighty and Ray looked at Knuckles with curiosity.

"Eggman may have finished building the city but not all of the defences are up and running, which means that we have a chance to do some damage" said Knuckles, "What's your plan" asked Mighty.

"I want you two to sneak into Robotroplis and sabotage as many of Eggman's factories as you can" explained Knuckles, "Hang on, your only sending us" asked Ray, "Yes, if I send any more then you'd have a greater chance of being discovered, if this mission is going to work then you need to remain unseen" said Knuckles.

"I'm not sure, what if we're caught" said Ray with a hint of fear in his voice, "Don't worry little buddy, nothing's going to happen to you while I'm there" said Mighty reassuring his friend.

Ray regained his confidence, "Ok let's go" he said.

Later that day.

Robotroplis.

Robotroplis was far worst then it had looked in the picture, the air was thick with pollution which blocked out the sunlight and made it difficult to breath, the smell was indescribable, and everywhere you looked there was waste littering the ground.

Mighty and Ray ducked behind a large piece of scrap to avoid being seen by a robot, they had managed to get into the city with little effort, and now that they was in it was clear that the city was currently under protected.

"Follow me and be careful" said Mighty as he ran to a nearby alley with Ray following closely behind, Ray was obviously nervus, he had hardly said a word for fear of alerting unwanted attention.

"Ok the first faculty should be right around this corner" said Mighty as he walked down the alley, soon they saw a large robot factory that was more heavily guarded than the other buildings.

Mighty looked at the factory and tried to think of a way to get inside, it was too dangerous to simply walk up and they knew that they had to avoid being seen, finally Mighty came up with an idea.

Soon Mighty and Ray was standing on top of a building near the factory, "Mighty are you sure about this" asked Ray sounding very nervus, "Don't worry, you can glide" said Mighty, "But what if I get caught" asked Ray, "Don't worry your sneaky enough to get past those piles of scrap, plus if they do catch you then I'll run right in and get you out" said Mighty, "Ok then, if you're sure" said Ray.

Mighty picked up Ray and then with all of his strength throw him high into the air, as soon as he reached the peak of his hight Ray opened his arms and started to glide down, using this method Ray was able to glide right over the robots heads and land on the factory roof without being seen.

Now that he was on the roof all Ray had to do was find a way inside of the factory so he could plant the bombs in his backpack, after a couple of minutes Ray found a window that he could open and slipped inside, however as he did so he failed to noticed that he tripped a silent alarm.

Inside the factory Ray saw that robots of all different kinds was being built at a shockingly fast pace, Ray knew that there was no time to lose and began to search for any critical points to place the bombs.

Ray placed the first bomb on one of the machines that was assembling the robots, then he had to hide under a conveyor belt to avoid being seen by an EGG pawn, before coming out of hiding Ray planted a bomb on the bottom of conveyor belt.

Ray placed another bomb on a control panel, and then he planted the last one on a support beam hoping that it might cause some of the factory to collapse, Ray now satisfied that he had done a good job climbed back to the roof and exited through the same window that he had used to enter.

Outside of the factory Mighty was waiting on the rooftop for Ray to return and was watching for any sign that something could go wrong, while Mighty did believe that Ray could complete this mission he was also very worried that something bad could happen at any moment.

"It appears that the Doctor was right to send me here" came a voice, Mighty turned around and saw Infinite floating above him, "He knew that you Resistance worms would try to attack this city" said Infinite.

Before Mighty could react Infinite dropped to the rooftop and sent out a wave of energy that knocked Mighty off of his feet, "Pathetic, has the Resistance already run out of skilled fighters" said Infinite.

Mighty jumped to his feet and throw his backpack at Infinite, Infinite not knowing that the bag was filled with bombs fired a bolt of energy to destroy it and accidentally caused the bag to blow up knocking both himself and Mighty down.

Mighty was the first one to recover and he jumped at Infinite with his fists at the ready in an attempt to finish this fight now, however just as he got close Infinite created a shield around himself that Might was unable to break through.

Infinite fired a bolt of energy and scored a hit right in Mighty's chest knocking him away, Infinite got to his feet and began to approach the armadillo, Mighty was lying face down on the ground.

"Get away from him" shouted a young voice, suddenly Ray jumped into the fight and wrapped his arms and legs around Infinite's head and started to attack him with everything he had.

However Ray's attacks did no damage at all and he stood no chance against Infinite, Infinite with little effort pulled Ray off of himself and then knocked the flying squirrel out with a single punch to the face.

"Ray no" shouted Mighty who had recovered, Mighty throw a couple of punches but Infinite dodged the first one and then grabbed Mighty's arm on the second one, however Infinite soon realised that Mighty was too strong for him to hold for very long.

Infinite grabbed Mighty by the neck and flew both himself and the armadillo high into the air, Mighty began to panic as he realised what Infinite was about to do, Infinite then let go of Mighty allowing him to fall to the ground below.

Infinite flew back down to the ground and saw that the fall had been enough to knock Mighty out, "It seems that we have two new prisoners" thought Infinite as he looked at the unconscious Mighty and Ray.
