I awoke with a jolt, my leg feeling fine again. I stood up cautiously testing the swat bots work. The new leg felt fine so I looked around for the swat bot but I found no trace.
"Probably went back to that Robotnic guy." I thought aloud.
Slowly, I walked towards that big window I had noticed earlier. My robot parts were creaking quite a bit and they felt really achy, like when you have an injection.
I eventually managed to climb out of the window toppling off the other side into a heap of rubbish. Luckily, it was only robot parts so I shook it off and attempted to climb out but just kept falling backwards. I sighed and lay down wondering what to do next; besides even if I did get out where should I go? 'I'll cross that bridge when I come to it' I thought pulling myself up by an overhanging metal pole. Now standing up on top of the rubbish I had a better chance, I still wasn't sure who I was or what I was doing here but something was telling me that something really scary had happened. This fact tugged on my sanity all the while.
I took a few steps forward cautiously before nearly losing my balance but gaining stability after a while. I eventually leapt down, landing perfectly! The jump brought yet another memory all the way from the back of my mind, it just leapt out from darkness and attacked my thoughts, taking their place like an angry wolf chasing it's alpha.
~MEMORY~
"You can do it you just need to focus Candy!" Yelled Robotnic.
I looked down from the high roof and looked back at my grandfather for some help.
"If you don't jump… I have to push you." He said tantalisingly.
I started to panic and paced back and forth looking down. Suddenly, Robotnic started counting down from 5 but I knew that I just couldn't do it. I braced myself for the 1 and when it did happen, I wished that I had just jumped! He shoved me forward and I lost my balance, toppling off the roof, luckily feet first. I tried to remember my training and when I landed, I bent my knees and rolled over finding that I was… fine?
I looked up at Robotnic who smirked.
"That was ok, next time have the courage to do it yourself Candy."
~MEMORY END~
Suddenly it clicked for me, my name was Candy and Robotnic was my grandfather. Perhaps that was why the swat bot had called me master.
I felt a bit better about myself and started to walk around a bit. I was really surprised to see the entire place in ruins, robots of a diverse range were everywhere. Dog robots, swat bots, stealth bots, observation bots and loads more! I had never seen so many bots in all my life!
Suddenly a blue blur came through smashing most of the robots to pieces and soon turning round to finish off the rest. I gasped and immediately felt bad for those robots. Whatever that thing was, it certainly didn't like them! Were these my grandad's robots? If so, maybe I could control them.
"Run! Get out of here!" I yelled across to the robots who all looked at me and the ones that could fly flew off into the distance, the rest scattered away. The blue creature stopped and it was revealed to be a blue hedgehog. He looked confused for he hadn't heard what I said but only seen the robots run away.
I quickly leapt behind a nearby rubbish bin and hid waiting for something to happen.
Nothing did so I peered out from behind my hiding spot in time to see Robotnic coming outside wondering where all his robots had gone. I wondered whether to approach him or not and eventually decided not to but to follow him. Besides, the robots wouldn't attack me and maybe they could help me.
I slowly started sneaking behind Robotnic and got through the door behind him just in time for it to shut behind me. I followed him closely all the way to a small control room, no alarms going off, no robots attacking me. My theory had worked!
Suddenly, I was spotted! Not by a robot or by an alarm but by two organic creatures. A dingo and a wolf stared me down so I decided to do some acting with MY robots.
"Pretend to be capturing me." I said quietly to a nearby swat bot who obeyed and held me with my wrists behind my back and started marching behind Robotnic. The wolf looked puzzled but shrugged and went back to work. However, the dingo took interest and walked towards me. Suddenly I growled at him and muttered something to the swat bot through my teeth between growls which the Dingo didn't understand but the swat bot certainly did.
"Do not come any closer Dingo. I have a very dangerous creature here wanted by Robotnic. If you come any closer, it could eat you." Said the swat bot in a monotone voice. Dingo jumped and the wolf sighed.
"Come back here you oaf. She is none of our business!" It yelled.
This bought Robotnic's attention and he turned round.
"Go in there" I said the swat bot taking me into the room with Dingo and the wolf.
Robotnic had turned around just in time to see the door shut.
"What are you doing you bucket of bolts! Get out of here!" Yelled the wolf.
I gasped.
"HE IS NOT A BUCKET OF BOLTS DON'T EVER CALL ONE OF MY ROBOTS THAT!" I yelled back suddenly realising I'd probably just got us into trouble.
"Huh? Your robots? Did you hit your head or something? He's going to robotisize you" Exclaimed the wolf.
"Ow! Hey be a bit looser please." I said in a reaction to the swat bot tightening his grasp on me. He immediately let go.
"What are you doing?" Exclaimed the wolf.
"Told you, my robot." I said shrugging.
"Get her!" He yelled to the swat bot who immediately grabbed me holding me in front of him.
"No! Stop please! He isn't nice to you I always will be do as I say please." I pleaded the swat bot.
The Swat Bot let go of me and asked me what it should do next. I told it to capture the wolf and Dingo and take them to Robotnic telling him they were stealing from his supplies and have been for a long time.
"Do you mean Sleet?" Asked the swat bot.
"Yeah." I replied mentally noting the wolfs name as everything else seemed to have slipped away so far.
