Eggman's Base - Mondo Problemo

[Lans]

Sonic slid to a halt in fornt of the walker. He looked at Eggman, curiously. "Um...have we met? Cause I'm sure I'd have remembered a mug as ugly as yours, pal." he said, feeling that tingle of Deja Vu again. Then his ears picked up the sound of Selica tearing after him. "Um, hold that thought." he said, before dashing up the wall and over the ceiling to get around Eggman's force, and putting them between him and the oncomming Selica.

[Rix]

...And with a stream of colorful language, Selica plowed into a bunch of Egg Pawns with breakneck speeds, like a bowling ball into pins.

[Sipp]

And thus did Selica recieve a transmission from Sir Ffuzzy Logik.

"Lady Selica! Wouldst thee be so kind as to explain what is occuring? What ill wind blowest here?"

[Garland]

Okay, what was up with that?

Activating the radio again, Eggman began shouting instructions. "Sonic is leaving section B-5 and headed in the direction of the C block! Shut down security doors in the vicinity! All on-call special combat robots, engage and pursue the intruder! Egg Pawns, equip heavy arms and pursue!"

The Egg Walker itself turned around and chased after the hedgehog, the nearby Egg Pawns scattering and following suit, except for a few which lagged behind to assist Selica and the Pawns she had knocked over.

[Lans]

Unfortunatly Eggman was dealing with a Sonic far more versed in infiltration tactics than his own. Near one of the security doors they would find a hastily removed vent cover.

[Jamie Lee]

"Uh oh," Bokkun said as he hovered up behind Eggman. "Sonic went down the hoooooole."

[Rix]

Selica thrashed about, ignoring Logik completely. "I'm fine! Get off me!!"

She jumped up, looking around frantically. "Where is that little blue rat!?"

[Lans]

In the mecha storage bay, a wall pannel was suddenly kicked out, and a second later Sonic climbed out. He looked around and gave a low whistle. "Man, that is some SERIOUS firepower," he said, glancing at the various mechs as he moved through the room.

[Garland]

Eggman glanced at Bokkun. "Well, what are you waiting for?! You're small enough to get through there! I want to know what that pest is doing here. Follow him and make sure to keep track of him! Confront him if you must!" Eggman paused, raising his hand to his forehead as though to soothe a headache, before activating another radio transmission. "All Egg Pawns, begin a sweep of the base. Activate thermal sensors and cameras. Set all escape vehicles in restricted access mode. No one gets in or out of the base until the intruder is apprehended! Understood?!"

Eggman paused again, seeming uncertain about something. Normally Sonic wouldn't bother with being sneaky, and was also one to engage in witty banter, not childish insults. And he would never run away from a fight like that, or crawl around in vents like some kind of rat. Besides, what occasion had Sonic to "visit" him? The hedgehog would normally only come to Eggman's base in the midst of a scheme... and even then, it was usually either because Eggman was chased there or lured Sonic there. It seemed improbable, but could another portal have opened in Eggman's base?

This was looking to be a long day...

[Jamie Lee]

"Aye aye Eggma--" Bokkun's eyes widened. "Wait, confront him?! But I'm just a messenger! He'll pulverize me!"

[Garland]

Eggman reached over the side of his Egg Walker, grabbing Bokkun and stepping away from the vent, before whispering to him. "Then use your WIT, Bokkun. You know you can't beat him in a fight, but that doesn't mean you can't trick him! If my suspicions are correct, this might not be the Sonic we know... in which case, he might not even suspect that you're a robot!" Finishing that, he let Bokkun go.

[Jamie Lee]

The little messenger robo looked uncertain. "... O-okay... if you say so..." he gulped deeply and floated over toward the vent opening. As small as he was he was easily able to fit inside with room to spare, and so he began flying off toward the direction it seemed likely Sonic had gone.

[Rix]

"And give him a kick for me!" Selica shouted back at Bokkun as he entered the vent. She made a huffy face and crossed her arms. "I see why you hate that little urchin so much, Doc."

[Garland]

"Hmm, but this is unusual. Though Sonic is usually a pest, he's being even more annoying than usual this time... No worries, though. That hedgehog can't escape from here! If he tries, he'll simply drown. And even if he was able to find some way to retain the necessary oxygen, he can't get out through the submarine bay... The only way out is blasting a hole in the hull, and at this level, the sudden water pressure would crush him to death! Now do you see the genius of this undersea base?!" The doctor cackled, glasses glinting. "The ultimate lockdown! He can hide all he wants... but he'll have to come and face me eventually. The only way out of here is with my say-so."

[Lans]

Unfortunatly for Eggman, this Sonic didn't realize he was in an undersea base, and at the moment he was anusing himself by fooling around with several of the mechas in the storage bay, currently the Egg Hammer Mk. 2.

*THWABAAM!!!*

The tank's hammer shot forward and came down, flattening a spare eggmobie. "Cool...wonder what else is in here..." he said to himself, zipping accross the room to find another machine. Maybe he could find one he could use to get him out of here.

[Jamie Lee]

Bokkun yelped when that crash reached his hearing, jumping up in startled surprise and banging his head on the vent's ceiling. He crashed into the bottom and sat there holding his head with teary eyes. "Owww..."

Then his eyes narrowed in anger and he let off a growl as he puffed his chest out and gritted his teeth. "Baka hedgehog, I'm gonna cram a bomb down his throat!" and with that resolve, he took off again. It wasn't much later that he came across another vent opening that had been removed. He looked to either side as his boldness suddenly fizzled away, and he timidly approached it to peek out.

"S-Sonic?"

He gulped, then slowly flew out of the opening and touched himself down on the storage bay's floor, looking around.

He noticed the wrecked eggmobile and cringed a bit. However, he noticed a distinct lack of a certain hedgehog. Was he even in here still? He pushed his shoulders back, gathering up his courage.

"HEY SONIC!" he suddenly yelled. "Come out you big COWARD!"

[Rix]

Meanwhile, Selica was trying to find a way around the vent, darting down hallways with a scowl on her face. "..gonna kill that smug little blue spiky..." she mumbled to herself, the hallway entrances passing by rapidly.

[Lans]

There was a sonic boom from somewhere in the room and suddenly Bokkun found himself face to face with a scowling hedgehog.

"Hey pal," he said, poking the little robot in the chest, "Just who're you calling a coward?"

[Jamie Lee]

Ever seen a pint sized robot shriek in terror then duck and cover? You have now.

"DON'T JUMP ON MY HEAD!"

[Sipp]

And suddenly Sonic found himself being poked very lightly in the chest with a very large, sharp sword.

"Thou wouldst be wise to unhand the little one, knave."

[Lans]

Sonic just raised an eyebrow at Logik. "And thou shouldest, learnest to speakest betterest," he said, suddenly zipping over to one of the mechs. "I mean, come on, you sound worse than Ant does!"

[Jamie Lee]

Bokkun looked up at the much, much larger robot, then ascended up a few feet into the air so he wouldn't feel quite so... tiny. Feeling much bolder in Logik's presence, Bokkun turned and pointed a dramatic finger at the hedgehog. "Hey you! Sonic! Just what are you doing here anyway?!" he demanded.

[Garland]

"Enough of this nonsense..."



A large door at the back of the room opened, and the silhouette of a large machine could be seen. Gliding into the room gracefully, the door shut behind it with a loud metallic slam. The machine was shrouded in darkness as it stood at the ready.

"Sonic, Sonic, Sonic... I didn't expect you to ever use my own machines so underhandedly... but that's no problem. Initiating lockdown mode!"

Within a few seconds, all the mecha in the room began requesting a password. Eggman typed his into his machine, and glared at the hedgehog, not taking his eyes off of him.

"Bokkun, Logik, guard any exits that might be possible. Now, 'Sonic', I have thought about this some, and I'd have to ask... are you really Sonic the Hedgehog? Are you the one world-renowned, so-called champion of freedom and justice? Friend to all who need help?" Eggman smirked in the darkness, thinking about his next question. "Frequent visitor of South Island?"

The doctor's maniacal laughter filled the room. "I don't believe we've met before today! So listen, and listen well. My name is Dr. Eggman! You are trespassing on my base! You have insulted me! You have done damage to my robots! The Sonic I know is much more pleasant to be around than you... We might have resolved this peacefully, but I'm afraid you've passed the point of no return. I don't know what tricks you have up your sleeve, but I hope you will at the least display the same honor the Sonic I know has. There's only one question in my mind at this moment... Are you a worthy opponent?"

"ENGARDE!"

The doctor's machine lunged out into the light, finally revealing itself in full form.

"Now take this!" In the next instant, a barage of lasers rained down at Sonic.

Roll: 3[rand=36849268100110194435175356021161641491229936838663596668959270158]

[Lans]

Roll:5

Or rather, the mecha Sonic had been standing on.

"Wow, nice shot, you sure showed that thing who's boss," Sonic quipped from beside Bokkun as Eggman obliterated one of his own toys. Sonic took a second to think(OMG) about what Eggy had just been saying, then gave a snap of his fingers as he realized something. "So THAT'S why you look so fammiliar. Yeah, I see the resemblance now. I'd say you're better looking than our Robuttnik, but you're just all kinds of ugly in a different way."

[Rix]

Meanwhile, a pounding was heard from outside the main entrance door. "Oh, come on!! Let me in!" She folds her arms and leans up against the wall, sitting down with her back against it. "Hmph! Stupid... everything!" she says in a huff.

[Jamie Lee]

At first Bokkun jumped when the hedgehog appeared beside him. Then he puffed his cheeks out and growled. "Hey! Don't talk about Eggman that way, you spiky blue urchin!" he yelled, plucking a couple bombs out of his mail bag and hurling them at Sonic from the air.

Rolls: 2, 5

[Lans]

Roll: 2

Sonic deftly dodged out of the way of the first bomb. "Hey, chill out! Not my fault he's ugly (and has a really bad taste in nicknames too)!"

Roll: 6

He caught the second bomb and tossed it casually back to Bokkun, "Here, you dropped this!"

Roll: 4

[Jamie Lee]

Roll: 2

Bokkun squeaked in surprise and flailed in a panic as the bomb was went flying back at him. Then... KABOOM. A thick layer of soot covered over him. "That wasn't faiiiiir..."

[Garland]

Eggman sighed as he heard Selica's knock on the door, pressing a button to open it, and closing it once she was inside, without taking his eye off the hedgehog. "You might be quick, but you've made me MAD! So how about a triple threat? Take this!" With that, the Egg Viper split into segments, firing two parts of it like a buzzsaw at his enemy, and another laser in addition.

[Rix]

"Haha! You're mine, urchin!!" Selica darts in and immediately throws her boomerang at the intruder.
