DECISION TIME!
Well, youve made it to Robotniks HQ OK - its just getting in thats the hard part. You now know the potential routes, so all you have to do is select which one you think would be most suitable. Just dont forget about the SWATbots, OK? Those wrist lasers really sting if they get a direct hit on you :wink:
Ok, when it comes to the routes, is splitting up a good idea? My vote probably goes for the upper entrance, everything else noteworthy seems to have been high up so far. Could Nicole run a scan for us?
As for the SWATbots, we didnt get any stats but im just gonna ram the Hell out of them
i sw the roof, mainly so i can push people off it if they begin to bug me
On Chris request, heres the SWATbot stats for ye:

Also, if you want to split up, try to confirm whom you want to go where. It helps the author out a fair bit, yknow
Would my spoon be able to deflect the lasers back? If so, Ill give that a go...
lightsabers can deflect lasers, so ill do that. Plus i have some nice shiny chrome bits on archangel to do the same
Commit Hari-kiri. I owe the guys now, so jsut charge at whatevers aiming /making the lasers and try and slice it. If I die, I die.
DAVEO SEZ: Maybe you€™re the same as me; we see thinks that they never see. Baby I don€™t want to know, where that picture came from: http://eternaljuxtaposition.whymestudios.com/index.phphttp://eternaljuxtaposition.whymestudios.com/index.php
STEVEO SEZ:
After more juicy delays, the next part is finally ready and with the subject of this chapter being rather close to me, it should hopefully give the quality a little shot in the arm
I guess its distraction time again for me, Chris sighed, but hed barely started transforming into Love Bite when Matty grabbed his shoulder and caused him to revert back to human form.
Not today, Professor Hawking, he grinned wickedly and put the stolen Popes hat onto his head at a jaunty angle, consider it payback for the kerfuffle I keep causin . And with that, he whipped his hastily repaired InfiniTune from his pocket (lovingly decorated with duct tape) and shot down the hill with Paranoid blaring full-blast from the speakers.
[WARNING! WARNING!] the SWATbots blared, [INTRUDER DETECTED ON PERIMETER! ALL PATROLLING DROIDS TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE!] Within seconds, Matty found himself surrounded by no less than 20 of the mechanical guards.
[PRESENT ARMS.] one of them ordered and just as they raised their arms to fire...
NOW!
With more bounce than Zebedee himself (and a little help from GeForce), Alex leapt into the circle and began swishing his lightsabre around like nobodys business. With lightning-quick reflexes, the Oddestsey master deflected the laser shots, which bounced off the blade with a series of blue flashes back into the SWATbots electronic guts! No sooner had the first few guards began to fall when the others charged over towards the group, itching to take out the rest.
KAMIKAZE! Aaron yelled as Knightrous Oxide appeared a few seconds later alongside Love Bite and the duo shot straight into the fray, several droids (and their assorted parts) cast aside in the process.
Steeeee-rike! AJ cheered, just as one of the larger SWATbots took aim at him and fired his wrist blaster. With some quick figiting, the Swiss Army Spoon was back in action - this time in Mirror Mode. Back at you! Andy grinned, as the red laser bounced back and shot straight through the guards domed head.
By now, barely half the troops remained in action. Her Majesty was happily bludgeoning a droid caught in Super Gores clutches into a coaster, while Knightrous and the Archangel were taking immense pleasure in scrambling the soldiers remains across the battlefield. Even Matty was able to cause a little Grievous Bot Harm of his own. Well, Im sure youd short-circuit too if youve ever seen the way he dances to Black Sabbath tracks.
Only a few more seconds of oily conflict remained until the SWATbots found themselves scattered over a rather wide area. There was a brief, proud silence from the group just before several deafening sirens began echoing across the plain.
Well, Matty said chirpily, whos up for running away and hiding somewhere very secluded? All human once more, the others nodded vigourously and together, the magnificant seven shot to the side of the building and scurried up the ladder awaiting them to the flattened roof.
Cmon, guys! Kody panted, darting over to the submarinish hatch, lets get in before more of those Imferior Stormdroopers show up! But the instant he had opened the hatch even a crack, he slammed it shut again. ...scrawlin with em, he squeaked, whadda we do now?
...hang about, Aaron said quizically, theres only six of us. Wheres Andy?. His question was quickly answered as he saw AJs legs sticking out of a air ventalation funnel. A wide grin began to spread over the Australians face. It seemed the Ideas Fairy had returned once more.
**********
ARGH! Sonofabitch!
Shhh! Dya want us found out?
You try keeping quiet when Matty rams into you from behind!
I resent that in every possible context!
Just everyone shut up, will you?!
With a sudden spark, the Swiss Army Spoons torch mode illuminated the dark vent shaft and quickly silenced the bickering investigators.
Considerably better, Alex whispered, now lets hurry along. The Haze scenting in here is driving my sinuses insane.
It didnt take them long at all to find something that struck their interest, though. Barely a few seconds crawling ahead was a grate in the bottom of the vent. Leading the bizarre human train, Aaron peered down into the lab below. A short man in green could be seen sitting monitoring a security computer with a Britney Spears-style mic attached to one ear. He was bald, save for a few single hairs standing on end, and had a long thin nose that twitched as he grumbled incoherently to himself.
SNIVELY!
The short scientist leapt off his chair in fright and sprang to attention, quivering something dreadful. Even the spies above him gave a little jump as they heard Dr Ivo Robotnik waddle into the room.
G-g-g-good evening, sir, Snively trembled in his nasal, English tones, I-Im terribly sorry the alarms woke you up, sir, b-but you see.... His apology was cut short as the mad Doctor grabbed him by the scruff of the neck.
Snively, what the devil is going on?! I was in the middle of the finest fox-hunting dream Ive had in ages, when all of a sudden, the air-raid sirens start up and it feels like World War III is going on all around me! Dont tell me ...
I-Its not the hedgehog, s-sir, the little lackey replied nervously, the Patrol Leader reported several humans infiltrating the base before we lost contact with him. With a vicious snarl, Robotnik released his grip and allowed Snively to fall in a jumbled heap on the floor.
Then that means the British government has finally blown my cover! Well, were not going to stop now that were this close! How long until the Chaos Crater Creator is fully charged?.
J-just ten more minutes, sir, Snively answered, dizzily getting back on his feet.
Excellent, the Doctor smirked, release the EyeSpies and have them comb the grounds for those intruders. And once charging is complete, deliver the contents of Cell #1 to the Testing Range. He let out a brief maniacal chuckle. I think Id be hard-pressed to find more fitting targets, he sniggered darkly and left the room with his trademark toothy grin.
...you could always try pointing that thing at yourself, Uncle Julian! Snively hissed as the doors to the lab slid shut, maybe then Id get a little bit of peace in this festering pit! and cursing under his breath once more, he returned to the console and got back to work.
...Julian?! Andy snickered, the previous conversation easily audible from the vents above, no wonder he made Ivo his criminal alias. Ringos a better name, for cods sake. A sharp kick from Alex quickly halted AJs giggle spurt.
Cmon, Chris whispered, lets get going. According to the plants blueprints, we can get to the holding cells further along the vent.
Crawl for your lives! Kody grinned and the troop began slinking along the dark metallic shaft.
OW! For Gods sake, Matty!
**********
The group wasted little time negotiating the winding, branching tunnels. Despite the many twists and turns, they made good progress in their journey through the vent system.
Better pick up the pace, gentlemen, Agent Mann whispered as she examined her Rolex by torchlight, weve only got 3 minutes before your Wedge gets atomised.
Its OK, Aaron replied quietly, Nicole held out in front of him, the grate into the cell block is just right he...oh, I dont believe it!
What now? Alex asked, afraid he already knew the answer.
Its not Wedge Devo, the Australian groaned, I can see right the way down the wing and it aint there. He was right. Through the grate, however, he could see two anthropoids sitting in the cell nearest him. Bound both hand and foot were a red-haired chipmunk with a matching blue vest n boots and a rabbit in a strapless pink top, her left arm and her legs strangely both mechanical. Standing guard in front of the cell were two more of the Doctors droids - one, a lanky metal chicken; the other, a green pepperpot on tank tracks with drills for its nose and hands.
Well, Aaron said to no-one in particular, this is the weirdest thing Ive seen in the last few minutes. He turned back to the others. ...say, if I said there was a chipmunk and a rabbit being held prisoner down there, would you think I was mad?
No more so than usual, AJ grinned, receiving another swift kick from Alex for his troubles.
Nicole, the Aussie whispered, pointing Nicoles sensor over the grate, any info on the ladies below?
[...processing..........oh.]
Oh? Chris piped up nervously, why oh? Is that a bad oh? What is there to oh about?
[...erm...nothing], the computer quickly replied, [Data located. The chipmunk is Princess Sally Acorn, present heir to the throne of Planet Mobius. The other is Bunnie Rabbot, an early victim of Dr Robotniks early Robotisation regime.]
Super, Matty mumbled, another stuck-up bird, to which Agent Mann gave him a painful nudge.
And how about C3PO and R2D2 down there? Aaron added.

A perfect 10 for armouring?! Aaron spluttered, those guys look like Kustom could send them to Silicon Heaven.
[Information is reliable] came Nicoles reply, [these two robots are programmed under Tooniversal programming laws. Therefore, they will always remain operational, regardless of their physical state. However, the Tooniversal software is rarely used, since it limits the subjects thinking capacity]. At that, the Australian gave a broad, wicked grin.
Whos up for psyching out some Charlies?

DECISION TIME!
Another day, another dead-end.
This is easy.
Use the cliched throw a spanner down the hall to get separated, then one of us fakes the other, and soemone else paints a black cirlce o nthe floor. The disguised person then tricks the remaining machine into standing on the black circle, which theyll discover to be a hole and fall into. Thereby manipulating thier programming. We then repeat with the other one
