The sharp sound of a thin switch colliding with the red echidna's behind made Sonic wince, the blue blur covering his own bottom even though he was not on the receiving end (for once). Sonic watched Eggman switch his friend as he bit his lip, Knuckles gritting his teeth in an attempt to conceal his pain even though it was clear this was hurting him. Tears rolled down the echidna's face against his will, and small grunts and whimpers seeped through Knuckles' lips.
Soon enough, only about seven lashes in Knuckles' defenses weakened enough to where he started to yelp and kick his legs, his tears coming at a more increased pace and volume with every stripe of the switch. Eggman knew what he was doing; even using a switch he knew how to make it so the spanking would go on for a while without worrying about breaking the skin or leaving bruises. Every strike was lower and lower on Knuckles' backside, the power all in the wrist so Knuckles would feel the sharp bite of the wood and the spot could still take more punishment.
By the time Eggman had finished, Knuckles was a mess, sobbing and his legs twitching from the pain as he lay over Eggman's raised knee, the two robots that caught him holding tight to his wrists. The rotund genius let his newest prisoner calm down for a while before speaking. "Now then, what is our policy?"
Knuckles groaned, having had the talk about the 'policy' before this punishment and he looked to Sonic with a cringe, as if to ask if he was serious. Sonic simply shrugged and looked embarrassed himself. "You...should probably do it. He will start over if you don't…"
Even though Sonic never had Eggman start over, he wasn't about to take the man on his bluff.
Knuckles groaned once more, and looked to the ground, bottom tingling and burning and his pride in shambles as he repeated the phrase. "N...ugh...G-good echidnas...get rewards...n...naughty...echidnas….get spanked…"
"Good. Now the second part?" Eggman had to admit as troublesome as these two were, he felt an immense joy at the troublemaker's embarrassment.
"I...was a naughty echidna...f-for trying to escape...so...I got...s-s...spanked…" Geez how he hated that word. It was so childish…
The robots let go of the echidna's wrists on Eggman's orders, and the scientist carried him under his arm like a sack of potatoes inside. Sonic glanced behind him at the fence, debating if he would be able to make it, but the bots standing there not too far away were enough to tell him it wasn't a good idea. So, sighing reluctantly, the blue blur followed Eggman with the broken Knuckles inside.
Once back inside the house, Eggman set Knuckles down and had the two follow him to the basement. Both of the heroes were a bit nervous, wondering what instrument of torture the doctor was about to release onto them.
Well, it didn't seem threatening...on the outside. The robot looked a lot like Omega, but sleeker and instead of claws with guns the bot had actual hands. It was a shiny baby blue and had green eyes that lit up as it spoke, and in a way looked more….feminine. The most prominent feature was a pastel pink apron the bot wore around its neck and waist, with a hot pink heart in the middle that was also a pocket.
Eggman turned to the two, and spoke. "This is Nanny-Bot. She will be a way to keep an eye on you whenever I am away or working down here. Just in case of anymore shenanigans." He steered his glare at Knuckles, who blushed madly and crossed his arms across his chest.
"I hope the three of you will get along fine. If not, well we know exactly what happens then." Eggman nodded and picked up a small disk with a blinking red light. "And this…" He proclaimed, "Is a simple mind control disk. Not for you, but if I'm going anywhere nowadays I need to not be attacked by literally everyone within five miles. The effects are harmless, it just makes it so I appear as any other customer without the need for a disguise."
The two of them had to admit it was clever, and explained how Eggman was able to ever go out in public.
"Speaking of which, I must run a few errands and am leaving Nanny-Bot in charge. If you two get into any trouble with her, you will also answer to me when I get back. So I hope you will at least try to behave while I am gone." He rambled as he went back upstairs to the main house, the heroes and Nanny-Bot following behind.
Eggman had already packed his things and soon headed out the door in his Egg Carrier, leaving the three alone. Sonic and Knuckles looked at Nanny-Bot, who simply stared back at them with her soulless green eyes.
Sonic turned to Knuckles.
"...you think Eggman has some sort of weird fetish for this?"
