Hello! I'm gonna get right to the story, considering I can't think of a witty comment at the moment.
Sonic woke up early and tried to sneak out, but was met with an angry Bolt holding a broom and pointing towards where the hedgehog had knocked over the table the previous night. Sonic took it grimly and set about work, passing over Knuckles with the broom until he sneezed and got off pissed off. "What's the big idea?" he shouted
"Knuckles… I would duck if I were you." Sonic said calmly with a smirk
"Waking me up from a perfect sleep, the nerve of it!" Knuckles continued yelling. He was cut off as an even angrier looking Amy sent him into unconsciousness with a swing of her hammer.
"There! Now you can sleep!" Amy seethed.
"For once I'm glad you brought that hammer." Sonic grinned even larger.
"Keep cleaning!" Ren said as she came out from her room. "Bolt is bad enough without you here!"
"I would start cleaning faster dude; this isn't even her angry mode." Bolt whispered as he walked out of the room and into the lab elevator to go wake up Kayla and Apollo. When he reached the bottom floor he saw them both not only awake, but sifting through his materials!
"Didn't I tell you not to touch anything?" Bolt asked
"Yes, but these are all materials that can be used on the ship." Quake, who had snuck up behind Bolt in tall form, said.
"How did you get down here?" Bolt asked yet another question
"I went in through the air vent, I figured the sooner we all got up the sooner the ship could get repaired." The mouse explained.
"As long as that's the only thing you touched." Bolt said, and then noticed Apollo toying with his mounted EMP gun. He was pressing the button that started the firing sequence. "Don't touch that!" Bolt shouted, but it was too late, the naturally curious cat pressed the button and a large blast of energy was emitted by the weapon mounted on the wall a few feet away. Before Bolt even knew what was going on the blast seemed to deflect right off Apollo straight into himself, it hit him and sent him skidding a foot backward before getting absorbed into his naturally conductive body.
"That's why I tell people not to touch things down here, I don't even know how half of it works!" Bolt said. "But how did that deflect off of you?" Apollo pulled a long rapier out of a sheathe on the side of his belt and pointed it at Bolt.
"Master swordsman laddie!" Apollo told him.
"Oh great here it comes…" Kayla said with a sigh
"I'm the best swordsman on 2 planets, the second best on 4 and the third best on 5! Oh, and on this one planet they taught me the secret to…" He was cut off as a bell that signaled food being ready rang. "What's that for?" the orange feline asked.
"Food." Scarcely before the words left Bolt's mouth Apollo was in the elevator ready to go up.
"Hurry up buckos! Good food waits for no man!" he called out to them. They all piled into the elevator with the gluttonous cat and pressed the button to go up.
"So why did that blast do nothing to you? I saw you get hit." Kayla asked.
"I'm a walking conductor rod! Nothing electrical that I know of can harm me. I usually do the harming with it." Bolt told her.
"So you're a kaminari ousama?" Kayla said.
"A kami what?" Bolt said
"Lighting King." Kayla explained.
"Sounds cool to me!" Bolt joked. "But now can I ask a question? How come you speak fluent English?"
"Simplest device ever, a universal translator."
"Ok… then that leads me to my next question. Why can we all Quake? Shouldn't his voice be like really quiet?"
"I'll answer that myself." Quake said from the other side of the elevator, he was standing on the railing. Pulling down the rim of his shirt he revealed at black collar with a small silver piece in the center. "It's a very useful device. Everybody aspiring to become a Rover needs one of these, it's a microphone, but Kayla upgraded it to triple as a translator and a power limiter so that my Chi energy doesn't interfere with any systems on the ship."
"Before we all go into our entire life stories here can we eat?" Apollo asked hopefully, the elevator had just made it to the top floor. Kayla rolled her eyes at his shameless devotion to food. Sonic and the rest had gone home already; you could tell he did a slack job at sweeping because there were still pieces of broken table and crumbs everywhere.
"Its eggs and bacon." Ren put some on her own plate and sat down. Apollo immediately followed suit and sat down at the other side of the table, hardly using any silverware. Bolt grabbed his and sat down next to Ren, Quake grew himself and took a small portion, leaving just enough left for Kayla. Breakfast was a fast affair, especially since Apollo ate nearly everything there.
"He isn't staying here for lunch is he? I don't want to run out of food." Ren whispered to Bolt.
"Defiantly not." Bolt whispered back. Ren whipped up a mini tornado that picked up all the plates and set them down in the sink, Bolt sent a jolt of electricity that turned the sink on until it filled with water, then turned it off.
"Alright, time to fix my ship. How do we get all those materials outside?" Kayla announced.
"There is a second larger elevator at the back of the lab that only goes up, just in case I have to move something too big for the normal one." Bolt explained
"Then let's start!" Kayla said as she walked back to the elevator. Quake was sitting on her shoulder for the ride. Apollo took a strip of bacon with him and Ren and Bolt followed suit. Nobody spoke in the elevator out of sheer lack of something to say; upon reaching the bottom floor everyone got out and walked over to the large pile of steel and machine parts.
"Ok I'll admit it; I'm strong, but not that strong." Bolt said as he eyed the pile. "We need like Rick or something."
"I can do that." Quake said. He leapt off Kayla's shoulder and walked over to a couple pieces of steel. "Where is the elevator at?" He asked as he took a couple deep breaths.
"To your left." Bolt answered. Quake put his hands beneath the girders and slowly lifted them up wards until he was holding them above his head.
"Defiantly as strong as Rick" Bolt muttered. Quake made his way over to the elevator and pressed one of the buttons by pushing a girder into it, a large door opened up and he stepped inside. Everyone else followed suite and Apollo hit the up button. The doors slowly closed and the platform started rising up to the surface. The only lights were dim fluorescent ones, so visibility wasn't good. Quake put the girders down on the ground and sat atop of one, Bolt leaned up against a wall, and everyone else did the same.
"I should defiantly put a couch in these elevators" Bolt said.
"Couldn't hurt I guess" Ren remarked. The ride up to the surface continued in silence until the ceiling opened up, revealing the blue sky above them.
"Finally the open air! I hate being stuck in all those cramped places mates, especially if there isn't any vittles around!" Apollo announced as they came level with the ground. Quake picked up the steel again and started walking in the direction of the ship with Kayla and Apollo in tow. With a shrug Bolt followed in silence, hoping that nobody else had seen the ship fall.
The group traveled in more silence from sheer lack of anything to talk about. As they started approaching the crash site Bolt's keen ears picked up footsteps ahead, walking ahead of the rest he held his arm up for them to stop and made the quiet sign. All but Quake stopped, because the steel was so large he had missed Bolt's signal, and walked straight into the crash site. Swarming all over the ship were Eggman's robots (the ones from Sonic Unleashed) some scanning parts of the ship, some searching for an entrance.
Quake set down the pile of metal and looked around at the robots, luck was on his side as none of the robots had noticed him yet. Backing up slowly towards the others in the bushes he asked Bolt why the robots were everywhere. The wolf muttered one word "Eggman"
"Precisely!" The insane genius shouted from his flying ship above them. "You didn't think I would miss technology from other galaxies entering Mobius's orbit did you? Imagine the weapons I will create, the world will come to its knees!" He shouted.
"Yeah yeah, how many times have you said that? And yet I still don't see an Eggman planet." Bolt mocked
"I'll build it over your bones!" Eggman yelled. "Eggbots, attack!!!" The horde of machines rushed the bushes, Bolt easily jumped over them and shot out lighting strikes from his hands, frying 6 of them at once. Kayla needed no second bidding, and whipped out her pistol, firing away into the masses 4 of them went down from headshots, and another 3 were turned into Swiss cheese from the semi-automatic gun. To a reason not seen, every time a robot tried to approach Apollo, it sliced in half and exploded, while he examined his claws, after ripping the engine unit out of one of the Eggbots, Bolt turned around and saw that every time one split in half, the cat's rapier would disappear for a fraction of a second before re-appearing.
Ren was using a tornado to smash the machines together, than use the fragments to spear others. Quakes' fighting was a bit more physically than the others, he would leap up and smash a hole through one robot, rebound, go through another, then grab that bot and throw it at another, sometimes sending out his chi blasts to decimate the ranks of advancing machines. But as Eggman's robots bore down on them with sheer number they ended up back to back, fighting for their very lives!
Dam I wish I had brought that Chaos Emerald… Bolt thought, turning his head he took what he thought might be the last look he might ever take, until he saw Kayla, who's eyes seemed to be getting much darker… almost black. Apollo, who was in the middle of turning 3 Eggbots into shish kabob with his sword saw Bolt's confused look and stared at Kayla
"Oh dear… It seems we are going to have a situation here, ah well, jolly good day to die wot wot!"
STOP RIGHT THERE! CLIFFHANGER! Muhahaha! Review, get it? Got it? Good.
