The Other Blueprints

The hedgehogs, fox, bandicoot, and mask all headed for Knuckle's Emerald Shrine, seeking a little more muscle to balance their intellect, agility, and tenacity. Meanwhile however, Eggman and Cortex were in the Mobian Mad Doctor's lab, preparing their scheme to take over Mobius. "Now, if we add my crystals into that chamber, it should have enough power to eliminate all of our foes in one to two fatal blows." said Cortex.

"Splendid, Sonic won't know what hit him with this upgraded blast from the past. Now then, where are those two idiot bolt-heads?" said Dr. Eggman.

Cubot floated in, saying in a Russian accent (still a voice chip problem), "What do you wantsk?"

Orbot then floated in as well and said, "Sorry I am late, Doctors. I was just reading this magnificent fanfiction online. Which reminds me, Cubot, would you like to make some cupcakes later on?"

"Cupcakske are badst for thee circuitry!" shouted Cubot.

"Enough you two! We need your assistance in our little project." said Eggman.

"Anything, Doctors. How can we help?" asked Orbot.

"It's a surprise!" said Eggman, flipping a switch, activating two automatons to grab hold of Cubot and Orbot.

"What are you doingsk, round man?" asked the Russian Cubot.

"Sadly, we are a little low on parts." said Cortex.

"And since these automatons do not contain any artificial intelligence whatsoever, we built them to apprehend you two so that we may dismantle you, and then dismantle them." finished Eggman.

Orbot, looking nervous, said, "B-but we were loyal to you!"

"Yes, what he saysk!" Cubot backed up.

"Plus, it's not like our spare parts will make much a difference in your giant machine, anyways." reasoned Orbot.

Eggman replied, "True, but you two have annoyed me for quite some time, especially you, you spherical simian. Always back-talking your superiors! Now my automatons, dismantle them, and save every part. I don't want to hear a peep out of them. Then when you are done, come back in here, with their remains, and we shall dismantle you as well." The automatons eyes flashed, and did exactly what they were ordered to do, exactly in the order given.

"Please, Doctor! I can make you some cupcakes! I just learned a secret recipe in a fanfic about colorful horses!" pleaded Orbot, but then the automated doors shut behind them. "Thank heavens I won't have to hear their annoying jabber anymore." said Eggman.

"I understand why you would have them dismantled. That's why I use more mutants than machinery. At least the creator-of-them's heart would be too weak to kill such magnificent beasts." said Cortex.

Eggman replied, "Amen to that. Now then, we will still be short on parts, so we must continue onward to the Mobian scrap pile on the other side of the hills."

"To the air ship!" exclaimed Cortex, "… wait, you do have an airship… don't you."

Eggman gained a frown and said, "Of course I have an airship! What kind of evil genius doesn't have one?" Eggman continued to the airship's hanger, while Cortex muttered, "Sheesh, take a pill." Then he followed Eggman onto the ship, and the two were off to the scrap pile.
