Robotnik opened to see himself in an area he remembered somewhat. The grass was green, and looked like stripes of light and dark of the color. The dirt had racing flag patterns on it, and moving flowers and totem poles could be found. Old badniks of Robotnik were here, in their undestroyed states. "Ah, did I travel back in time?"Robotnik wondered. He turned and walked over a bridge to see something veryfamiliar. That annoying hedgehog, and..
Himself.
His alternate self (Let's go with Classic Eggman) lowered a chained checkered ball out of his Egg-o-Matic Hovercraft, and swung it at the Blue Blur. Surprisingly, instead of that annoying pincushion talking, he didn't say anything at all. That made Robotnik wonder.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when explosions were heard. That annoying hedgehog beat Classic Eggman. Our Robotnik decided to sneak past the silent Sonic to get to the fleeing Classic Eggman.
"Hey!" Robotnik called. The other Robotnik looked backwards, and nearly fell out of his Egg-O-Matic. "Another me? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! And why do you look different?"
Our Robotnik wondered why he said that. Then did he noticed they did look different. Classic Eggman had blue glasses, a pointy red nose, brown mustache, round head, red clothes with yellow triangles, and black rubber-like pants and shoes. Ours had black eyes with red pupils, a pointy head, orange mustache, and other contrasting features. He shook his head. "No need for looks, we are the same person, my fellow Robotnik!"
"And why should I believe you?" Classic Eggman asked, raising an eyebrow. Robotnik laughed. "It's so simple! We both have similar interests! We hate that hedgehog, we make robots, and we want to conquer the world!"
"You ARE right.." Classic Eggman muttered. "Ok then! Why are you here, exactly?"
"How about you lower the Egg-O-Matic down so we can stop yelling?" Robotnik suggested. Classic Eggman agreed and he lowered to the ground.
Robotnik smirked. "I have a plan to erase that Hedgehog out of our books for good." Classic Eggman looked confused. "And how are you to do that?"
Robotnik laughed. "Simple! I'm gathering Robotniks to defeat our nemesis!" Classic Eggman thought this sounded familiar. Too familiar. "Alright, I'm in. How will we do this?" Classic E. asked.
Robotnik pointed in the direction he came from. "Simple, we go to the machine I came from to get here!" Classic E. nodded, and they began walking towards the Connectvelor as a wide eyed Classic Sonic watched them, hidden from their sight. Classic Sonic knew that those two were up to no good, and he decided to follow them. They were getting into a quite big glass room, and were getting ready.. to "teleport," as that weird Eggman said. He quickly snuck around and got into the other glass room as they teleported away.
Next thing Classic Sonic knew, they were in some sort of building. The walls were yellow, and arches were everywhere. A big sign that read SSSSS was between to arches. Classic knew he had to get out of here, it had to be Eggman's fortress! His suspicions were confirmed when two robots walked up to that weird Eggman. He opened the glass case, and slammed it shut by accident. The buttniks looked over at him, and Classic ran off.
"SONIC'S HERE?! Get him you dumbbots!" Robotnik ordered to Scratch and Grounder. "But your supremeness, Sonic looks different!" Scratch pointed out. "Who cares if he looks different? It's SONIC! Go get him before I send you to the scrap yard!" Robotnik ordered, and then the two were off to catch that Classic Sonic.
"Ah, those are the 'dumbbots' you were talking about. They don't seem idiotic." Classic Eggman said. Robotnik scoffed. "Just you wait. They can't do anything right except mess things up!"
(Line Break)
"Come on Grounder! Use your fishing rod!" Scratch planned out loud towards his unwilling partner. "Fine, but I should be giving the orders because Robotnik likes me best so I'M the boss of the SSSSS!" Scratch pushed Grounder. "Just cast the line already!" Grounder readied the rod by leaning backwards, but caught it on a arch, and didn't realize until the gear for the reel malfunctioned and he was sent flying into it.
Scratch groaned and followed the green robot. "Ugh! You couldn't catch a cold! We lost him, thanks to you!" Grounder was dazed and didn't hear his friend. When he finally snapped back to reality, they went back to Robotnik.
"Ah, there you two are. Where's that annoying pincushion?" Robotnik asked. Scratch laughed awkwardly and Grounder tapped the floor with a drill hand. Robotnik tapped his foot on the ground. "Well?"
Grounder spoke up. "Well, uh, Dr. Robotnik.. We lost Sonic." Robotnik went berserk in an angry fit, steam erupting from his ears. "CAN'T YOU TWO DO ANYTHING?"
Classic Eggman shook his head. "Robotnik was right.. those really are dumbbots.."
(Line Break)
Sonic and Tails were speeding at the speed of sound after their delicious delicacy at Cyber City Hot Dog Emporium. They enjoyed every last bit and were pumped up for fun and adventure. Surprisingly, Scratch and Grounder didn't mess with them again, something they usually do about three times a day. Suddenly he ran into someone with the same force as him, causing him to be knocked backwards.
"Hey, what's the big I-" Sonic started before cutting himself off. Was that HIM? No, no, no.. did Weasely mess with that cloner again? Something was off about this Sonic.. He had lighter blue fur and was plumper..
"Sonic?" Tails asked. Sonic looked at his buddy, and so did Classic. "There's two of you! How does that work?"
"I don't know buddy, but this sounds like Robotnik. In the meantime.." He said, he turned to Classic Sonic. "Another me could deal with Robotnik's stupid plans. Are you in, me?"
Classic nodded.
"Ok then! Get ready to start your engines, because we're off to Robotnik's fortress!" He said before all three sped off towards Robotnik's headquarters.
They eventually got there, even if it was a thirty minute run. They peeked inside, and Sonic nearly fell over. "Two Robotniks?" Sonic and Tails looked at each other while Classic shook his head. "We're in for a handful."
They heard what was coming from inside, and heard the most important parts.
"..we'll get.. maybe two more Robotniks..."
"And.. end that hedgehog for good!"
All three gasped. Sonic spoke up. "Robotnik's gonna use other versions of himself to take me down? Not happening." Tails looked at Sonic. "What're we gonna do, Sonic?"
"Well, Tails. If there's other versions of Robotnik, there's gotta be other versions of us!" Sonic announced.
"Yeah!" Tails agreed before becoming confused. "But how will we get them?"
"Easy, Tails. We go with them!"
"What? Go with ROBOTNIK? That's suicide!"
"It's probably the only way, Tails! Now we need to find out when they're going for another Robotnik."
YAY, Classic Sonic's in the mix! I'm adding Modern and Adventure Sonic (maybe, they're almost different) in the next few chapters, as well with Knuckles and Modern Tails. Maybe even a metal foe. Review and let me know what you think of this story! And maybe recommend some things, and I might put them in!
See you guys in the next chapter!
