Alright, nearing the end! This chapter won't really have much. There is a song.
Chapter 4: This Egg Fleet's Goin' To War
Somewhere outside the Arctic Prison
After being blown sky-high, Danika, Nolan, and Cad Bane crash-landed into a huge pile of snow, sticking their heads out and coughing. "Well, that could've gone better." Dani said.
"Oh, I knew this was a bad idea." Bane said hatefully.
"Come on. Let's get out of here." Dani replied in defeat.
"We can't leave empty-handed." Nolan said.
"And I'm not leaving without my hat." Bane stated.
"Well, what should we do now?" Dani asked.
At that moment, the three were approached by the Stormtroopers, Gary and Dan, who were both carrying the frozen Dib. "Well, we couldn't catch the girl. But we have this kid." Dan reported.
"Ugh, why is his head so big? It's heavy." Gary said, struggling to lift.
"It's better than nothing." Dani said. "Let's take him back to base."
"Not so fast! I still want my hat back! And Cosmo and Nova! I'm not leaving without them!" Bane said.
"Don't worry, we'll get your hat back AND get those aliens." Dani replied. "For now, let's take this boy back. Then we'll start looking for the aliens again. I have a pretty good idea where they are…"
Sector V Treehouse
It was once again midnight at Sector V as the many hamsters slept peacefully on their wheels in the Generator Room. One hamster caught a whiff in its nose and awoke, jumping down the huge wall of wheels and following the scent. All of the other hamsters soon awoke as well and all headed for the room's exit.
They kept going down the room's hallway and smiled at the sight of many boxes of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whatever hamsters eat. They ran into those many boxes and started eating and gnawing away. The many cages soon shut on the hamsters as Hoagie, Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun stepped out of hiding. "Okay. We got 'em." Hoagie whispered.
"It's amazing how much trouble it is feeding hamsters." Decoe said.
"Especially when there are this many." Bocoe followed.
"Good thing we won't have to worry about that when we-" Bokkun was immediately silenced by Decoe and Bocoe.
"Quiet!" Decoe said.
"He's right, keep it down." Hoagie said. "We don't wanna wake the others. Now, let's get these hamsters over to Eggman before they notice." Several other Eggman robots (Egg Pawns and Egg Fighters) began to carry the crates away.
As Hoagie carried one crate through the living room, he stopped when he noticed Violet sleeping on the floor, curled like a cat. "Man, how much like a cat does she wanna be?" Hoagie whispered, quietly sneaking past her. As Decoe and Bocoe quietly followed, Hoagie left and shut the door, and Violet's ears perked up as she awoke from the slamming sound.
"Oh!" Decoe and Bocoe hurried back into the other room as Violet stuck her head up and looked around. The werecat caught a whiff of catnip and looked in that doorway to see a stuffed mouse, hanging from Decoe's hand. Hearts appeared in the girl's eyes as her tongue stuck out, and she immediately ran forward and tackled the stuffed mouse, biting off its head and eating away.
As she did so, Decoe snuck up and bashed the girl in the head several times with a piece of wood from the crate, knocking her out. "That was close." he said, fitting the wood back on the crate. "Now, let's go before we have anymore disruptions." Decoe shoved Violet to the side as both of them started to carry their crates away.
In Abby's room, the African-French girl was awakened at a beeping sound, and reached in her pocket to pull out her tracking device, which showed a red dot just outside the treehouse. Abby threw off her covers and jumped out of bed, with her clothes already on, and ran to the living room. Once there, she watched from the window as Hoagie and several robots loaded crates onto a large truck. "Phew. Well, that's the last of them." Hoagie said, getting in the front with the henchmen.
"Dr. Eggman will be running a pet store like this!" Decoe said.
"Gold first, hamsters later." Bocoe reminded, and with that, the truck drove off. Abby immediately hopped out the window and down the treehouse as she looked at her tracker and chased after the truck.
Plank's Lair
The intelligent hunk of wood stood and tapped his imaginary chin in thought, while Johnny stared closely with his right eye at a pencil sharpener's hole. "Master Plank! Look at vhat ve've found!" exclaimed the German scientist plank.
"What is it, Dr. Shriginplugin?" Plank asked.
"Ve have found ze original source of zat POTION!"
"Have you now?"
"Ja! Zere is a whole shipment coming from Death Valley, California! Zey must have sent some over to Eggman's!"
"Interesting. Get the troops ready to move out. We are going to pay those fellows a visit."
Eggman's Scrap Base
"Aha…" Eggman studied the newly caged hamsters intently as they ate their food. "EGGCELLENT!"
"It was only a matter of time." Decoe whispered.
"So, we got enough?" Hoagie asked, happily.
"Oh, MORE than enough, my boy! Now, we should have just enough hamsters to power my Gold-digger! Let's get them to work! AAH!" Eggman pressed a switch as several hamsters ran across a tube connecting the wall to the machine, and the laser charged up as it aimed at a pile of old 2x4 weapons.
Hoagie watched sorrowfully as the laser fired and successfully turned them all into gold. The platform then tilted and slid the gold onto the moving treadmill below. The treadmill stopped as two flamethrowers on both sides aimed at the gold, fired, and melted it. The treadmill kept moving and dumped the melted gold into a large cauldron, where two churners spun and mixed the gold.
The gold was dumped back onto the treadmill, where it was then frozen by ice rays. It passed several saws that cut the gold horizontally and vertically. Afterwards, it went into a small machine, which pressed on it, and came out into nice, perfect rows, stacked atop one another, box-shaped.
"OH ho ho ho ho!" Eggman laughed as he and Hoagie approached the nice stacks of gold. "Seeing an invention work so well just REALLY feels good on my egg!"
"Yeah, but, did we have to sacrifice my old weapons?" Hoagie asked regretfully.
"So? They're old. They were thrown in this Scrap Yard for a reason. Your teammates will never miss them."
"Well, yeah, but…" He sighed, recalling Numbuh 1's words. "I guess you're right."
"Exactly. Besides, once we're done here, you won't even NEED those weapons! You'll be able to upgrade to much more eggsquisite ones. Fit enough for an apprentice like you."
"That's nice and all, but, my 2x4 inventions mean a lot to me. I'd kinda prefer to stick with them."
"They may be important to you, but one day, there'll come a time when they'll be of no use. You'll be forced to use the more advanced weapons." he said, pulling out a long, high-tech blaster.
"Well, my weapons proved useful when Numbuh 1 fought Dimentia."
"Ah, yes, I heard the story, but they only worked barely. If it weren't for that little Star Child, he never would've survived. And besides, as technology evolved throughout the years, human life has grown better, and easier! Can you imagine life without airplanes, trains, cellphones, videogames, OR the Internet?"
"Hm… you have a point."
"OF COURSE! And that's why trashing these old weapons and getting more advanced ones will help your teammates greatly. And once they see how much better these new weapons are, you'll finally be appreciated for your talent! And those other scientists will FINALLY stop-" Before he could finish, his phone rang again. "Eh…hello?"
"Hey, Eggman! This is Jack Spicer, EVIL boy genius. I was just standing here, thinking my next brilliant plan for world domination, when I remembered to give you a call, reminding you that you will NEVER be as awesome as Jack Spicer, until you learn to put your inventions to better use, and also-"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, JACK?!"
Wuya shouted. "You're in the middle of a showdown! GO get the Shen Gong Wu!"
"AH! Gotta go, Eggman! WAH HA HA HA HA!"
He ran off frantically.
"Mm..." Eggman grumped, "you get my point."
"But what about the hamsters?"
"The hamsters will be returned to their rightful homes in time, and will be taken care of in the intervening time. Now, it's getting late, why don't you head on home and get rest? The hamsters are safe in my care!"
Hoagie yawned. "That's sounding good right about now. See you tomorrow, Eggman!"
"Until then, my young apprentice!" Eggman waved as he watched Hoagie head out. "Heh heh heh."
The base entranced closed behind Hoagie as the pilot walked out with a yawn, stretching his arms. "THERE YOU ARE!"
"AHH!" he screamed when Abby suddenly appeared in his way. "Numbuh 5! What are you doing here?"
"Numbuh 5 can ask you the same thing! Is this what you've been DOING all this time? Workin' as some stranger's APPRENTICE?"
"How did you know?"
Abby pulled out her tracker and said, "I put a tracking device in yo' pocket while you were asleep. It helps me eavesdrop on them, too. Hoagie, what are you doing? Lending hamsters and 2x4 weapons to some adult you barely know?!"
"You don't understand, Abby, this guy's having trouble, too. He's trying to take my inventions to the next level. I need that if I we're going to be facing more powerful villains."
"But you don't even know this guy! How d'you know he ain't using you for something HE wants? For all we know, he's one of Father's new villains, and this is all part of some plan to destroy us!"
"But I don't know what to do, Numbuh 5! Ever since Numbuh 1 said what he did, I…I've been feeling worried. 2x4 is all I've known, but when compared to the GKND, Malladus, or even Numbuh 1 and the other benders, what good will they be? That's why I have to work with this guy. Dr. Eggman just seems more… experienced."
"But you're experienced too, Hoagie. Your weapons were better than anything any adult created!"
"Maybe before… or maybe all those adults were just the beginning." Hoagie walked past her. "The world is changing, Numbuh 5. We can't rely on the old ways forever." Not bothering to look back, Numbuh 2 kept forward.
Abby stood in thought for a moment. "You may not be worried… but Numbuh 5 ain't trustin' some adult with her hamsters." She noticed an air vent sticking out of a trash pile. "It's time she got to the bottom of this." With that, Abby jumped up, opened the vent, and crawled in.
In his computer room, Eggman approached a Voldemort Clone and pushed a remote as a crane claw carrying a hamster in a bubble placed it inside a slot in the back of the clone's head, closing the hamster in. "Heh heh heh! Let's see how well my precious clones work now! YAH!" He slammed his finger on the remote, making the clone spark to life, its eyes glowing.
"KILL HARRY POTTER!"
"OH HO HO HO HO! EGGCELLENT! With the power being drained out of these hamsters, my clones will be more lively than ever!"
At this time, Abby had crawled through the air duct and was spying on him through the vent.
"Tricking that Hoagie boy was easier than I anticipated. Still, he has proved himself real useful. And worthy enough to stay on my side. The blueprints he let me 'borrow' ought to lead to some interesting developments. OH ho ho ho ho!" Abby gasped, eyes turning wide. She continued crawling down the vents as Eggman walked in the next room.
Abby stayed quiet as she followed Eggman secretly. She followed him past the treadmill room and into an even bigger, deeper room, where several machines were fixing up what looked like an enormous solid gold space station with Eggman's face, decorated with all sorts of jewels.
Abby gaped at the golden colossus as Eggman laughed. "With all the gold and treasure we've been getting from those crazy fans, and the Gold-digger, I'll be able to finally construct my Solid Gold Death Egg Fleet! Once my fleet takes orbit and conquers this world, Eggmanland will FINALLY come to be! Then, of course, I'll make some room in the world for Bowser, Ganon, for them to be the ruler of or something. OH HO HO HO HO!"
"Hi-YAH!" Abby jumped out of the vent and kicked the mad scientist to the ground. The chubby inventor sat up and rubbed his head in pain. "So, you WERE just using Hoagie!"
"Eh? Now, who might you be?"
"The girl who's about to kick yo' butt for trickin' Numbuh 5's friend! You may have used Numbuh 2 up to this point, but your egg farm ends here. Numbuh 5's takin' you in!" She approached the scientist slowly.
"N-Now, now, Abby." Eggman stuttered, scooting back as the girl stepped forward. "Must this all end in violence? After all…" He watched as a door opened behind Abby, and smirked, "the party's just begun."
Suddenly, Scarlet shot out of the doorway and tackled Abby to the ground, binding her hands together and aiming her right index claw to her neck. "Going somewhere?" The werecat smirked.
"Who are you?"
"Heh heh heh!" Eggman laughed, standing and brushing himself off. "I commend you for finding your way in here, but I'm afraid this egg won't be taking the fall this time." Decoe and Bocoe came and took Abby by the arms, forcefully dragging her to the room with all the trapped hamsters.
"Ahh… Such adorable little creatures, are they not?"
"What are you gonna do with 'em?"
"Power my machines, of course! The only great source besides Chaos Emeralds is life force. The hamsters' life force gets absorbed inside, giving my robots the perfect charge!"
The hamsters gave little, squeaky gasps of shock.
"You can't do that!" Abby exclaimed.
"Heh heh heh. Why not?" With that, some music played suddenly as he started to sing.
"The robots are back ALL from banishment. Upon our return, we ran into some new friends." Some screens near the ceiling showed images of his cohorts. "Lord Gnaa, Bowser, Ganon, The Brain. All mad men, very evil and frankincense"
"Yo' crazy, Fool!" Abby sang.
"SHUT UP, now get those hamsters by the armful!"
Eggman's robots did as told and began grabbing the hamsters. "My friends will stop you, Fool!"
"Oh yeah? Not before my clones get 'em; quite harmful!"
As some hamsters tried running for the exit, Scarlet ran and stood in their path, making them stop in terror as she hissed with her sharp, drooling teeth, letting the robots grab them. "No hamsters go through that door! This Egghead's goin' to war!"
Scarlet grabbed some hamsters as she started to sing as well.
"I'm feeling weak with hunger. Tasty little rodents got me seein' red! But when this Egg Fleet's out of the hangar, we'll blow this world and I'll send Violet to the dead!"
Oddly enough, the hamsters sang in squeaky voices. "YOU'RE despicable!"
"My claws are sharpened and now they're ready to play!"
"YOU'RE not so cool!"
"And when it's time, for mercy, she will pray!"
She then tossed the hamsters into some robot claws, for them to place in the replicas.
"Sheded blood and tears galore! This werecat's goin' to war!"
She stepped away as Decoe and Bocoe appeared, wearing sunglasses and playing rap music. Bocoe was first: "Decoe and Bocoe's starrin' this show, these furballs are rarin' and ready to go!"
"Missiles and lasers to the max! This fleet'll be more deadly than that germ, Thrax!"
"YOOOU suck doo-doo!"
sang the hamsters.
Bokkun sang, "The only thing we'll be sucking is YOUR supply of power!"
More claws grabbed the hamsters and placed them inside replicas. "WEE'LLLL never obey you!"
Orbot sang, "But you don't have a choice no matter how much you cower."
Cubot followed, "These hamsters are ones to adore! These robots're goin' to war!"
Eggman approached some robots, who were struggling to put a missile into a cannon slot. "Easy with that powerful artillery. Copperheads are strong, but deadly and unstable."
Scarlet was forcing Abby onto the Gold-digger's platform. "I'll sue you for child endangerment!"
"DON'T CARE, I'll use as many missiles as I am able!"
"THIIIS bites, you fool!"
"You signed your rights away when you went to work for KND"
"THEEYY'RE better than you!"
"Evidently, I don't give a crap, DON'T bother me! I can't get enough domination. I can't help but just want more!"
As Abby struggled to get free on the platform, Eggman walked over and pressed a button, activating the machine. "Sorry, girl, but MY proclamation, this Egg Fleet's goin' to war!"
In a few seconds, the laser fired at the African-French girl and turned her into a solid gold statue. "OHH HO HO HO HO! GAH HA HA HA HA! GAH HA HA HA HA HA HO!"
Mt. Gnaa
"OH HO HO HO HO!" Eggman's image appeared onscreen.
"Can't you call just once without giving that crazy laugh first?!" Lord Gnaa shouted.
"Eh, sorry. I'm just VERY eggcited today! My Solid Gold Death Egg Fleet is finally ready, and the Voldemort, Palpatine, and Sentinel replicas are finally fixed up! Thanks to a little Hamster Power. And what's better is I've captured one of those annoying Sector V brats!"
"Are you certain your fleet will be strong enough?"
"Stronger than you could possibly imagine! Once this is over, this planet will be conquered in the name of evil, and our search for the Eight Firstborn will be even easier."
"And where is the boy in all this?"
"You mean the Harvey boy? Haven't really heard about him in a while. I don't know what he's doing. But I'll be sure to leave Sector W out of this invasion! See you in a few hours, Lord Gnaa! OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!"
With that, the screen switched off.
"GRAAAARGH!" At that instant, King Bowser suddenly burst through the door, wrapped in several casts and bandages. "MAN, I thought my skin was NEVER gonna heal! That Fanny girl's more hot than the sun! And I mean that literally, by the way."
"No matter. I have another assignment for you, Bowser. I want you to recruit new members to our ranks."
"AW YEAH, BABY! More baddies on the Side of Evil! Who is it?"
"You will be recruiting the Kremling Krew. I figured a reptile king like yourself would be able to convince them."
"Oh, the Kremlings? Sure, no problem! Old Kroctus and I go WAY back! I'll get 'im to join, no problem." With that, the injured Koopa King stomped out.
Eggman's Scrap Base
Eggman had just finished sticking the last hamster in the last Voldemort Clone. "Heh heh heh! Eggcellent! These clones will probably be my finest creation since… well, YOU, Scarlet!"
"I must say, they DO look realistic." Scarlet said. "Just how DID you make these exactly?"
"I'm glad you asked. Cloning can't quite be done without samples of the originals. Here's how I did it: after Voldemort died, I located his tomb and stole some of his remains, and used that to make these Voldy Clones. Same for Palpatine; despite falling in that nuclear shaft and the Death Star exploding, his corpse was able to endure the explosion. Quite impressive, indeed. Then Sentinel was the easiest. I just constructed him from my usual materials; he's already a robot."
"Doesn't explain why they're so crazy."
"That was sort of on purpose. The first versions of these clones, I made 90% like the originals. I also had a little help making them from Ganon and Brain. We only decided to send them as sort of a test run for the operatives, to see just how menacing and destructive they are at that level. And since those kids barely beat them without a scratch, I decided to make even more, only downgraded. That way, they would be easier to control, and the combined might of them would still make them powerful."
"Impressive. But how do you plan to break this plan to Hoagie? I doubt he'd be taking his girlfriend turning to gold well."
"Heh heh heh. Personally, I could care less if he goes with it or not. Because, either way, this egg will be golden!"
"Dr. Eggman! He's coming!" Decoe exclaimed, indicating Hoagie on the monitor.
"Uh-oh! Time for you to go, Scarlet, I'll handle this." The vicious werecat simply nodded and scampered out a backdoor.
"Hey, Eggman!" Hoagie greeted happily, coming in. "How're things coming with that gold thingy?"
"Absolutely smashing! I was able to get my final preparations done overnight! Are you ready to finally show the world the true genius the two of us bring?"
"Really?!" Hoagie asked excitedly.
"Of course! This egg cooks fast, and it's boiled and ready!"
"Well, yeah, I'm ready! What's this plan of yours?"
"Hehehe." Eggman snickered evilly. "Watch the screen…" With that, Hoagie did as told and approached the computer screen, which showed several images of kids playing with Voldemort, Sentinel, and Palpatine replicas. "Heh heh heh. YAH-HA!" Eggman slammed a remote.
Mushi's backyard
"Here you go, Mr. Voldy!" Mushi grinned as she poured some imaginary tea into a Voldemort's teacup. The Voldemort was wearing a frilly pink dress and a pink Little Bo Peep hat. "Some more tea JUST for you!"
The clone was about to drink the "tea" when his eyes sparked and glowed as his silly expression became more serious and malicious. "KILL HARRY POTTER!"
"No, silly! These are cups, and they're not very hairy."
"REDUCTO!"
"AHH!" Mushi screamed when the clone fired a blast from his wand, destroying the table. "NO! BAD VOLDY!" Mushi yelled, throwing a table piece at his head. "You deserve a time out!"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
"YAH!" Mushi dodged the Killing Curse just in time.
"…YAAAHHHH!" the clone screamed as it ran out of the backyard and began wreaking havoc.
Somewhere else
Two Sentinel Clones were having a brawl, while Numbuhs 74.239 and 71.562 were cheering. "Yeah! My Sentinel's gonna kick your butt!" Gabe exclaimed.
"Pfft. Please. My Sentinel's taller."
"Is not!"
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is too."
"Is not!"
The robots' eyes sparked and they stopped fighting and turned to face the nerds.
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is not."
"Is too!"
"HA!"
The two stopped arguing to see their Sentinels face them, with angry expressions. "What?"
At that instant, the clones drew out guns and started blasting in their direction. "AH!" Gabe screamed as they immediately ran for their lives. "I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
Quahog; Quagmire's house
The sex pervert known as Glenn Quagmire was strapped to a chair by some Asian women, completely naked. "Heh, heh. Okay, girls, let's see who can shock me the hardest!"
One woman took a remote control and started moving a Palpatine. The clone took its hands and started shooting small blasts of lightning at Glenn's crotch. "Aaaahhhh…." Glenn sighed in relaxation. "Heh heh. Aaall riiight."
Just then, the clone's eyes sparked, it drew out its lightsaber, and sliced all the women in half. "No, no, not all right!" But despite Glenn's cries, the Palpatine replica blew his house to bits with its lightning hands and started running down the streets, destroying cars, trashcans, and other things with his lightsaber.
Eggman's Scrap Base
Hoagie watched in horror, mouth agape, as the many clones wreaked havoc with their powers. Voldemorts turned people into animals, Palpatines levitated people and twirled them around with their psychic, and Sentinels simply blasted buildings and people into pieces.
"Oh ho ho ho ho!" Eggman laughed. "Quite a show, is it not?"
"SHOW?! Your clones are destroying everything! They're worse than ever now!"
"How can they be worse when this is just how I WANTED them?"
"What?"
"Come on, Hoagie. Did you really not see this coming? Why, my aura just SCREAMS that I'm an evil villain! OH HO HO HO HO!"
"This isn't what I wanted! Call your clones off now!"
"Sorry! But once they've started, there's no stopping. Just like the originals, they're destructive and deadly to the very end, oh ho!"
"You tricked me, Eggman! You said we would use our inventions to help people!"
"WE ARE helping them. Helping them see who the true rulers of this planet are! Come now, Hoagie. The only real way to survive in this world is to conquer it." He turned back to the screen. "And it looks like my clones are doing just that!" Just then, his phone rang again and Eggman answered it. "Er…hello?"
"HA HA HA HA! This is Dr. Two-Brains! I was just here thinking up my next evil plan, when I remembered to give you my weekly call, Dr. Eggman, reminding you to make better use of your inventions! Now, if you'll excuse me, I just invented my new Cheesifyer, which I will use to turn ALL food in the world into CHEESE! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
"Grrr! Lousy calls." Eggman mumbled.
"What'd you do with the hamsters?!" Hoagie demanded.
"The hamsters are safe and sound. Using their life energy to power my clones from the inside!"
Hoagie gasped.
"We all have to make sacrifices for war, Hoagie, and sacrifices for ultimate conqueration. When this is all over, the world will finally be under my rule! You're welcome to join me, and prove to be the SECOND GREATEST scientist to ever live!"
"Forget it, Eggman! I'm not working with you if it means hurting my friends! I'm DONE being your apprentice!"
"Eh…" Eggman sighed in disappointment. "They come and go so fast. Oh well. It's not like YOU can do anything to stop me now. Soon, you'll ALL be feeling the true power of gold! Just like your girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend?" he asked, confused. He gasped in realization, "What'd you do with Abby?!"
"Let's just say she looks golden now. And soon, you'll be joining her as my glorious trophy!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Hoagie said, pulling out the blaster Eggman gave him. "Your mechanical menaces are finished! I'm taking them down and taking YOU down!" But when he tried firing the blaster, all that came out was a "Bang!" flag. "W-Whuh?"
"Heh heh heh! You didn't think I'd lend any REAL blaster to a child, would you?" Decoe and Bocoe immediately grabbed Hoagie by the arms as Eggman pulled out a real gun and aimed at Hoagie. "Say good-bye-"
"EE-YAH!" At that instant, Sector V, Violet, and Eva blew up the wall and burst in.
"OH!" Eggman grunted, the force pushing him to the ground.
"Okay, hands up, Robotnik! You're under arrest!" Nigel exclaimed, aiming a S.P.I.C.E.R..
"What? But how-"
"Numbuh 5 messaged us just before she tried to stop you herself." Nigel replied.
"Now, you're goin' to get your egg roasted good for tricking our friend!" Wally yelled.
Eggman shot up on his feet and said, "Oh yeah? Well, have another load of THIS!" The kids immediately turned as none other than Metal Sonic burst through the door on the side and landed in front of Eggman.
"Hey! That was the robot from before!" Wally said.
"This is the speediest robot in my arsenal! I call him the Hyper Metal Sonic. And take a look at his newest feature!" With that, an image of Nigel Uno appeared in Metal Sonic's eyes, and the robot began to transform. In seconds, the team gasped when Metal Sonic became a robotic Nigel. "I reprogrammed Metal to act in similar ways as my grandfather's Emerl robot. When he fights a person, he copies their data, and transforms into an almost exact replica of that person."
"The doctor has really been into cloning lately." Decoe said.
"First those Shadow Androids, and now these." Bocoe followed.
"Anyway, when Metal copies someone's form, he copies their battle techniques, too. Show them, Metal."
"Yes, Doctor." With that, Metal threw his hands out and shot a fire blast at Nigel.
"Nigel!" Eva screamed.
"Take care of them, Metal! We have to go get ready! Let's go, you three!"
"Yes, Sir, Doctor!" Decoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun saluted, following Eggman into the gold room.
"Hey! Come back!" Violet shouted, chasing them, but she was stopped when Metal threw a flame blast in her face.
"Forget him! Get that robot!" Nigel ordered. Eva immediately took her large Water Fist and punched Metal into the gold room. Violet then charged and pounced on his head, trying to tear it off. Metal Sonic (or Metal Nigel in this case) simply spun his head around rapidly and flung the werecat away. Violet landed near an elevator and watched as Eggman smirked and waved at her. Violet looked close behind Eggman and squinted when she thought she saw Scarlet behind him. Before she could get a better look, the elevator went down.
"Violet, help!" Nigel called as he was now fighting against a Metal Eva, which squirted water. Metal Eva kept doing flips and dodges, getting behind Nigel and hitting the backside of his head. Violet charged forward, made several punches and kicks at the robot, who defended with its arms, and finally used her claws to scratch the robot's palms.
As a result, the robot turned into Metal Violet and started leaping and hopping all around the room's walls. Violet kept throwing her cat shurikens, but Metal was quick to dodge. Eva finally grabbed the mechanical cat in her Water Fist and threw him all the way across the treadmill room. Nigel kicked his rocket boots on and grabbed Eva as they flew after him, ramming the robot and pushing him to the next room. Nigel, Eva, and the others soon followed after and aimed their weapons as the robot lay knocked on the ground.
They all gasped and gaped at the sight of the enormous Solid Gold Death Egg rising up and taking to the sky. Metal Sonic recovered and reverted to normal form as it activated its jetpack and flew up to the humongous space station.
"OHH HO HO HO HO!" came Eggman's laugh via speaker system. "Attention, Golden Death Egg Fleet: rise and show the world your ultimate power! Turn this pathetic planet into rubble!" At his command, hundreds more Golden Death Eggs rose from the ground and took to the skies.
"Whoa…" Hoagie drew out.
"Hoagie!" The chubby pilot turned his attention to Wally and Kuki, holding the statue of Numbuh 5. "We found this on his cruddy machine." Wally shouted.
"Is that…" Eva began.
Hoagie's eyes began to well with tears. "Numbuh 5?" He approached the gold statue and put his right hand to the frozen girl's horrified face. "Abby!" He broke down crying.
Everyone nodded their heads down in respect as Wally put a hand on Hoagie's shoulder. "Sorry, mate..."
"It's all my fault! Why didn't I listen to her?"
"Whoa… turning someone into solid gold." Violet began in amazement. "That's freaky stuff right there. And I'm a mutant."
"But shouldn't he have some emergency reverse or something?" Eva asked, bending her water back in her bottles.
"Well, it's worth looking into." Nigel said. "Come on." With that, Wally and Kuki lifted the statue and carried it back into the Gold-digger's room.
Cleveland, Virginia
Throughout the rest of the world, Eggman robots and clones were destroying anything and everything. Emily Matthews, along with Cosmo and Nova, ran out of the former's house to watch all the destruction. "What the heck are these things?"
"Boy, this planet cannot go one month without getting invaded, can it?" Cosmo asked.
Nova gasped at the sight of a Sentinel approaching. "RUN!" They quickly dodged as the Sentinel fired its gun at them.
Emily watched as an Egg Cerberus was charging up. She screamed, "LOOK OUT!" as she grabbed her aliens and dodged before the robot dog could crush them.
The dog missed them and crushed the front of another house, and Cleveland Brown began sliding down in his bathtub. "What the hell?! No no no no NO NO!" He crashed. "I thought gold was supposed to destroy people figuratively, not literally!"
They coughed and shielded their eyes from the dust and looked to see several Voldemort and Palpatine replicas standing in the street. For some odd reason, the clones started squatting up and down as they sang to some music.
"K-K-K-K…KILL Harry Potter! K-K-K-K…KILL Harry Potter! K-K-K-K…KILL Harry Potter!"
"Turn Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side."
"K-K-K-K…"
"To the Dark Side."
"KILL Harry Potter!"
"To the Dark Side."
"KILL Harry Potter!"
"To the Dark Side."
"KILL Harry Potter!"
"To the Dark Side."
"Call for Papa Palpatine!"
"Give me a hug!"
The clones spun around, coming to a stylish pause. "Oooohhhh…"
"Uh…" The three of them were speechless, confused.
At that instant, the clones were hit by blasts from above, and the three looked up to see the KND Armada fighting the robots. The Sentinel shot up at them, but was quickly destroyed.
At this time, Cad Bane, Danika, and Nolan were flying over the area in Bane's ship. "Looks like Eggman's takin' the show this time." Dani observed.
"Boy, does this ever bring back memories." Nolan said.
"In all this, it'll make it harder to find those two." Bane said.
Down on Earth, Nova held a look of worry. "What should we do?" she asked.
"We'll let them handle this." Emily answered. "Let's just get inside."
Back on Bane's ship, the bounty hunter watched as Emily guided the aliens back in her house. "THERE THEY ARE!"
The two traitors looked out the window. "You little sneak…" Dani could only say, angrily glaring at the Matthews girl who lied to them.
Eggman's Scrap Base
The team had lifted Abby back on the platform and started looking around. "There has to be a reverse button somewhere." Hoagie said.
"Look, here it is!" Kuki exclaimed, pointing at a button labeled Undo.
"That's cruddy undo. We want reverse!" Wally shouted.
"That's the same thing, you idiot!" Violet yelled.
"Just push it!" Nigel ordered. Wally nodded and pressed the button, activating a blue laser and firing at the Abby statue, the team shielding their eyes from the bright beam.
"Is it working?" Eva asked through the loud sounds. In a few short seconds, the laser stopped, and the team watched as the restored Abby wobbled around, groaning and gripping her head.
"Oohhh…"
"ABBY!" Hoagie exclaimed, running over and catching her just before she fell off the platform. Abby slowly opened her eyes to meet with Hoagie's.
"Hoagie? What happened?"
"You were frozen into a solid gold statue." Nigel answered.
"We were really worried. Hoagie especially." Violet followed.
"Abby, I'm sorry! I should've listened to you! That Robotnik was bad news! You were right and I was wrong!" He said all this quickly and excitedly.
"Hoagie, it's okay! Numbuh 5 forgives you. Just calm down!"
"Heh heh heh! Sorry." Hoagie laughed, allowing her to her feet.
"Well, that's not really gonna stop that Solid Gold Death Egg Fleet." Eva mentioned.
"Don't worry. Numbuh 5 thinks if we destroy the control one, we can destroy all the others." Numbuh 5 said.
"Then I guess it's time to roast some eggs!" Nigel declared. "Kids Next Door: BATTLE STATIONS!" With that, they all cheered and charged out of the base.
"HOAGIE, WAIT!" Abby yelled.
Hoagie stopped and turned, "What?"
Abby smirked, handing him his Diffusion Rifle. "You'll need that."
Hoagie smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Abs!"
Chicago, Indiana
A squadron of Palpatines surrounded the bounty hunter we all know and love. "Hey, hey, hey, psycho wannabes!" Boba said cockily. "Think you fakers can fake the Fett Man, well I don't think so. Yo' little mind tricks won't work on me, you know why? 'Cause I'm wearin' an anti-psychic helmet!" He indicated his helmet in a taunting fashion.
The clones simply drew out lightsabers and readied for battle.
"Ooh, you asked for it. Prepare to taste FETT!" But before he could shoot at them, Noah Heart suddenly drove by in her blue Camaro and ran over the clones.
"You can thank me later!" she yelled to Boba before driving off.
"HEY! You stay outta this, psycho lover! Ol' Boba's gonna mess you up good! Ah, forget her." he said, turning away. "Time to hunt me some gray heads!" He flew off and started shooting all the clones he could.
Above Earth's atmosphere
Kami and Patton were narrowly dodging in their S.C.A.M.P.E.R. as the Golden Death Eggs fired away. "You know, we could be totally rich off all this." Kami said.
"I prefer to stick with gold that's NOT trying to destroy us."
"WATCH OUT!" she screamed when some Eggman ships began firing at them. Two ships came at them from both ends; behind and front, but they shot downward and caused the ships to ram each other. They did a somersault as two more ships came from behind, getting behind them and destroying.
"We ain't your buddies, go away!" Patton yelled to the next three ships, trying to get away. At that moment, Sector V's C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. shot by and destroyed the ships.
"Good riddance! We almost got burned!" Kami yelled. :D
Moonbase
Rachel was watching the fight from her viewing deck. "Fanny, where are Sector W?! I told you to call them hours ago!"
"Sir, we kept trying, they won't respond! Angie isn't picking up either!"
"Ugh. Then we're already disadvantaged. Better hope Sector V has another surprise for us."
With Sector V
"We're closing in on their flagship!" Abby exclaimed.
"OOH! That place looks preeettyyyy!" Kuki gazed, the golden station's rainbow-colored jewels glimmering in her eyes.
"I say we take some o' that gold when we're done!" Wally replied ecstatically.
"I feel rich just thinking about it! Let's bust in, team!" And at Nigel's command, the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. shot at high speed into the flagship Death Egg.
Phew! Boy, that was probably the hardest song segment I had to write! Anyone know where that song originates? Only I had to change it up A LOT to fit the situation! Next time, the Golden Egg Fleet will take orbit!
