Episode 13: An Fearsome Encounter
Flying in a different plane, Bunnie and Antoine are on the search for the Chaos Emerald. Thanks to Tails and Rotro installing the Chaos Tracker into the plane's control, they are able to track down the Chaos Emerald and are heading to where it's at.
"It sure was a good idea of Tails to put the Chaos Tracker on the plane, we'll be able to find the Chaos Emerald in no time," Bunnie says.
"Oui. We will be finding ze Chaos Emerald in no time at all," Antoine says.
Antoine looks down from his seat of the plane to see that they're flying over a desert area.
"Hmm, I do have to wonder how we're going to find it in ze desert," Antoine replies.
"I'm sure we'll find it somehow with the Chaos tracker at hand," Bunnie says.
She then looks at the device and says, "From the looks of the trainer, I have to say we're pretty close.
Suddenly, a strong and powerful beam appears out of nowhere and hits the tail of the plane. Antoine ends up being bounced off his seat and almost falls off the plane.
Bunnie panics, "Antoine!"
Bunnie quickly uses her robotic arm to grab him and puts him back in his seat.
"Thank you, Bunnie," Antoine says.
"No problem, Sugar-twan, but you better buckle your seat belts," Bunnie says, having both hands on the controls.
"If you say so," Antoine nervously says.
Bunnie continues to hold to the control and is trying her best to land the plane on the sandy desert. Sadly, without the tail for their plane, Bunnie continues to struggle holding the control until the plane crashes to the ground. Bunnie and Antoine hit their heads on the panels and the two are knocked out as the plane continues to slide on the sand, and soon comes to a complete stop. Bunnie and Antoine are unconscious and the plane is broken apart. And as it turns out, Bunnie's robotic arm is also damaged from the crash.
Suddenly, multiple shadows appear to the scene. The shadows come from a group of Mobians that also have cyborg robotic parts who've seen the plane crash. Seeing the two unconscious, a few of them help the two out of the plane and one also grabs the Chaos tracker. The Half Mobian cyborgs take Bunnie and Antoine, along with the plane to a large campsite.
Later on, Bunnie lets out a groan as she begins to open her eyes. She feels like she is hit hard by a hammer or something hard. She turns her head a little to see her robotic arm is badly damaged. She can't fully remember, but she remembers the plane has been hit and crashes to the ground with herself and Antoine on it. Suddenly, a blurry figure, a shape of a platypus that seems to have robotic parts walks over to her.
The cyborg platypus shouts, "Hey, wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
Bunnie quickly wakes up and sits up in surprise.
She quickly asks, "Wha-what happened?"
Bunnie looks around and notices Antoine is laying down on a bed unconscious.
"Antoine!" Bunnie says, shocked.
Bunnie turns to the platypus and demands, "Alright? What's going on? What happened?"
The platypus Mobian is a blue color with a gray bill and table and wears a white lab coat. He also has a robotic arm and hands, and his leg is made of metal as well.
Platypus Mobian walks over and examines Bunnie's robotic arm, "Your plane was shot down and crashed close to our camp. The mayor and a few others found ya unconscious and brought you here. You and your friend don't seem to have any broken bones, but I'm afraid your robotic arm is badly damaged.
Bunnie soon remembered, "That's right. We were flying over the area when something hit our plane's tail and broke off. Next thing, I knew the plane crashed and we're knocked out."
"Seems that arm of your's is damaged, am I right?" A male's voice says.
Bunnie turns her head to the source of the voice and is completely shocked. The Mobian is a yellow rabbit like her, with blue eyes, and his ears are down since he is wearing a brown cowboy hat. He also wears a brown westernized-vest with a red tie, and black boot, but his left leg is made of metal. His right arm is made of metal and holds a gray cane in his left
Seeing the male rabbit Mobian causes Bunnie to shed tears and smile. Without thinking, she runs to him and gives him a big hug despite her robotic arm being broken.
"Uncle Beauregard! Ah didn't think Ah'd ever see you again!" Bunnie happily says.
The grown rabbit hugs her back and says, "Same here, darlin' Oh, I missed you."
The two rabbits hug each other with happiness. Bunnie hasn't seen him in a long time, and is glad to see him again. When she looks at him, she notices the robotic arm and leg she has that are similar to hers.
Bunnie asks, "Uncle Beauregard? Wha… what happened to your arm… and your leg?"
"It's a long story. I got these injuries when me and other prisoners of the camp were in a breakout at Robotnik's prison camp," Beauregard says.
Bunnie gasps in shock and asks, "What happened? And how do you get those robotic arms and who are all these Mobians with robotic parts? And what happened to me and Antoine?"
"One question at a time, darlin'," Beauregard calmly says.
"Sorry," Bunnie says.
"It's okay. I remember someone inside the prison took the plans to his roboticizer and was able to put it to good use," Beauregard says.
"He did? Do you know who he is?" Bunnie asks.
"He never gave his name, but everyone here owed him a lot. He then used the roboticizer to help replace my lost limbs and also used it to help the other prisoners with their lost limbs and other disabilities," Beauregard says.
He then walks to the tent and opens it's drapes to show Bunnie what he means. Bunnie becomes surprised to see so many different mobians that have different robotic limbs. They are able to use them for weapons, lifts, and other activities. Yet, they are able to live a normal life.
"This… this is amazing. I… I never knew there are more Mobians with robotic limbs," Bunnie says, surprised and astonished.
She then places her hand on her broken robotic limb, "Like me."
"Yes, but it wasn't easy. We managed to use it to help others and made sure to remove the mind control program of the roboticizer," Beauregard says.
"This is amazing. Whoever did it must have been pretty amazin', especially to get rid of Eggman's mind control on the roboticizer and help you all get out of the prison," Bunnie says.
Beauregard walks to Bunnie and asks, "I must admit, I'm also surprised to see you having robotic limbs yourself. Were you also trapped in one of Robotnik's prison camps."
"No. I got these a very very long time ago. I was still a child then. Dr. Eggman attacked Mobotropolis one day, and ah was one of the folks caught in the crossfire. Rosie and Uncle Chuck found me and took me to the hospital as soon as possible. At first, it seems that ah wasn't gonna make it through the night. With my only option after everything that has happened, Uncle Chuck did the only thing he could do… he smuggled me into his lab and made me the first patient of a prototype medical roboticizer. He managed to save my life, by having my left arm and both my legs cybernetic. It saved my life… but I was turned into a freak," Bunnie sadly says.
She then smiles, "But I was able to get through it and I didn't want to give up and I did what I could to make the best of it. It also helped that I have great friends who helped support me and help me get back on my feed. And now… I'm a Freedom Fighter who battled against Dr. Eggman and save innocent people."
And turns to Antoine, "And we still continue to fight."
She then turns to her uncle and asks, "Is he going to be okay?"
"He'll be fine. He just has a bump to the head," Beauregard says.
"That's good. I still have to wonder what happened. Antoine and I were flying over here and something hit our plane. It happened so fast that I wasn't sure if it was an accident," Bunnie says.
Beauregard shakes his head and says, "That was no accident."
"What do you mean? Are you sayin' someone attacked us on purpose ? Who would do that?" Bunnie asks, sounding shocked.
Beauregard calmly says, "The Fearsome Foursome."
Confused, Bunnie asks, "The Fearsome Foursome? Who are they?"
"A group of powerful and dangerous mercenaries," Beauregard says.
"They sound like trouble, don't they?" Bunnie asks.
"That's putting it mildly," Beauregard says.
Then Bunnie asks, "Do you have any information on them?"
"Well, there are only four to their team. There is Sergeant Simian, he's known for his hand to hand combat, he also has super powerful strength and a weapon's expert. There is also Lightning Lynx he has super speed and a refined senses. He also has expertise in martial arts. The next member is Predator Hawk, he has a keen physical combat and flight, he also has a strong keen eye and launches at anyone like he's a predator. The last is Flying Frog and he's an odd case," Beauregard says.
"What do you mean by odd?" Bunnie asks.
"Flying Frog is a complete mystery. There's not much about him. He seems to be flexible and is able to use his tongue, but he's kind of a… a loon," Beauregard says.
"That sounds like trouble," Bunnie says, worried
"They all are. They're practically ruthless and will do anything to get the job done," Beauregard says.
"I'm surprised that the Freedom Fighters have never heard of them. Not even Sonic and Tails heard of them during their travels," Bunnie says.
"That's because they work in the shadows that makes it hard for them to be noticed until they finish their work," Beauregard says.
Bunnie sounds very concerned and asks, "But why would they attack us like that? Why go through the trouble of shooting down our plane?"
"I'm not sure myself to be honest. And the way you said that some beam shot you down,I fear that they're up to something," Beauregard says.
Meanwhile, inside the cave, there are two Mobians discussing something. The first is a male Mobian Lynx. He has tan and black fur, and black hair, and light blue eyes. He wears a pair of electric blue gloves and boots and both have lighting bolts printed on them. The second is a Male Mobian Hawk that has blue feathers and a patch of feathers on his chest, a yellow beak, and blue eyes. He wears a red headband, red gloves that shows sharp claws, red goes and a bandolier.
"It seems that the weapons' test is a success, Predator," The Lynx says.
"It is successful, Lightning, it was unable to be detected," Predator says.
Just then a male Mobian gorilla with brown fur, blue eyes, and Caucasian skin walks by. He is also wearing a military helmet with green pants, green boots, and an ammo belt. He is known as Sgt. Simian.
He says, "Of course, if the pilots in the plane survives they'll try to figure out what happened and soon learn they've been attacked."
The green male Mobian frog with blue eyes, and wears a white scarf, brown gloves, boots, and knee pads, and also wears a flight hat and goggles.
He laughs and says, "Yeah. And we wouldn't want that. Of course, they'll feel really banged up after words. And we can have time to go play with them."
And continues to laugh.
The Predator Hawk says, "More like we find them and then eliminate them."
Back to the camp of cyborg Mobians, Bunnie's robotic arm is finally fixed up and back to good condition. Then Bunnie decides to help the cyborg Monbians with their conditions. She also helps them with some of the repairs to their homes, and their equipment.
She then finishes a Mobian Squirrel's robotic arm, "There you go. It's all fixed."
"Thank you," The Mobian Squirrel says, and bows her head a little.
She then walks over to carry off her activity.
Just then, Beauregard walks over and says, "Hey Bunnie, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing okay, I've been makin' myself useful while I'm here," Bunnie says.
"I'm glad. I just come to let you know that your friend is up now," Beauregard says.
"Antoine is okay?" Bunnie asks, sounding relieved.
"He's fine. Still a bit banged up, but he'll be okay after some rest," Beauregard says.
Not long after, Bunnie and Beauregard are back in the tent to see Antoine is lying down on the bed, but is awake now. He has a bandage wrap around his head.
"Are you alright Sugar-twan?" Bunnie asks.
"Oui. I believe so. My head is feeling dizzy," Antoine says.
"I'm glad that you're alright," Bunnie says.
Still feeling tired and dizzy, Antoune asks, "Bunnie, what happened to us? I remember some beam of light or something like that."
"I know. In fact, my uncle just told us that we were actually attacked by a group of mercenaries called the Fearsome Foursome," Bunnie says.
"Attacked?" Antoine asks, shocked.
Beauregard walks into the tent and says, "I'm afraid so. The Fearsome Foursome are a group of dangerous mercenaries and the way you both described your incident. "
Antoine is shocked to hear that they've been attacked.
Then asks, "But why us?
Beauregard then says, "I'm not sure, but you'll have time to recover when you get some bed rest."
Later in the night, Bunnie and Antoine talk to Beauregard about their adventures when they're young. Beauregard is impressed to hear how much Bunnie has grown up and how her friends are able to support her when she struggles.
"I'm mighty impressed. You both have been Freedom Fighters for a long time. Ah gotta say, Ah'm proud of you. Did everyone start saying Rabbot instead of Rabbit. Ah get that all the time," Beauregard says.
Antoine and Bunnie blush a little and show smiles on their faces.
"Well, it's been neither for a while… now it's Mrs. D'Coolette," Bunnie says.
Bunnie then shows the gold ring on her finger.
Beauregard is very surprised, "Mah little Buns done and got herself married? Oh mah stars! Ah blinked and you grew up!"
"Ah… ah wished you could have been there," Bunnie says.
"Me too. Well, I guess congratulations is an order then," Beauregard says.
"Thanks Uncle Beau. Antoine is a good man," Bunnie says.
"Oui. And I love you so much," Antoine says.
Bunnie giggles and says, "I like you too, Sugar-twan."
Bunnie then turns to her uncle and asks, "But do you think those Fearsome Foursome might still be around."
"Yes. they're somewhere in the mountains and are good at hiding from anyone. Even we tried to look for them, but wasn't able to find a trace of them," Beauregard says.
"So that's where they are," Bunnie says.
"Maybe we should go there and find them ourselves," Antoine asks.
"Maybe, but I don't want anyone to get hurt," Bunnie says.
She then looks at her repaired arm, "My robotic arm was badly damaged from the crash and it got fixed up. However, there are still some modifications before it's fully repaired. Of course, I have Uncle Beau, and his friends help with that."
Sometime later, Bunnie looks at her arm to see it fixed, but will need to wait before she can use it. Antoine stays with Bunnie with a smile on his face. Bunnie and Antoine then notices a yellow armadillo with a green shell. She wears a dark outfit and has robotic arms and has hydraulic pistons. She is walking carrying some boxes.
Bunnie says, "Hello."
The Armadillo turns and says, "Hello. My name is Matilda."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Bunnie," Bunnie says.
Bunnie asks, "So… what happened to your arm?"
"I lost both of my arms during an earthquake and Beauregard gave me cybernetic arms and managed to teach me how to create and repair robotic limbs. I'm actually one of the people who helped fix your arm," Bunnie says.
"Yeah. I remember. Thanks for the help," Bunnie says.
"You're welcome. I must admit, I'm surprised to learn that Baron is your uncle. I looked up to him like a second father. I've been with him for some time since I was separated from my family," Matilda says.
"You were separated from your family. That must have been terrible," Antoine says.
"Yeah. We understand how it felt. We lost our families too. Many of us who were attacked by Eggman were orphaned and runaways," Bunnie says.
"I see," Matilda says.
Then Bunnie says, "I'm sorry you lost your family."
"I remember how it felt when I lost my family and childhood, and I lost my arm and legs. I decided to not let anyone else feel the same pain that I've felt," Bunnie says.
Bunnie is laying down on the bed as Matilia finished with the final adjustments to her robotic arm.
Matilda says, "That sounds very brave.
Then finishes with the repair, "There. Test your robotic arm and see if it fully works."
Bunnie then moves her Robotic arm and then makes it into a blaster.
"Thanks Matilda," Bunnie says.
Matilda nods her head and about to leave the tent when she and the couple hears an explosion outside the camp. Antoine screams in fright and jumps in the air and lands as Bunnie catches him in her arms.
"What in tarnation is that?" Bunnie asks.
Bunnie and the others hurry outside to see four Mobians with robotic drones and a large cannon behind them. The robots are beginning to attack the camp.
"Bunnie!" Beauregard's voice calls out.
The group turns their heads to see Beauregard hurrying to him.
"Uncle Beau, are those the Fearsome Foursome you told us about?" Bunnie asks.
"I'm afraid they are, and they're destroying the camp," Beauregard says.
Suddenly, they hear the lynx, Lightning announces, "That is correct. We're the Fearsome Foursome. We order all you cybernetic Mobians to surrender or be destroyed."
