Grand Metropolis General Hospital - Red Alert

[Lans]

It was a fairly typical day in the ER of Grand Metropolis general, until...


A red echidna, carrying a small bundle that would turn out to be a yellow female hedgehog, kicked open the doors and stalked into the room. "All right, I need a doctor, NOW!"

[Sipp]

She clutched at him weakly with one small hand, her fingers just brushing his arm lightly, not managing to actually grip it. "M-mister G-guardian... d-don't l-leave m-me... pl-please... d-don't l-leave m-me..."

[Lans]

"I'm not going anywhere," he assured her, then stalked up to the reception desk, and pounded on it once with his free hand, right in front of the frightened receptionist. "DOCTOR, NOW!" he repeated.

[AnT]

BAM! A booted foot kicked a door open from one of the rooms. Out came a sort of hispanic man in a white doctor suit. However, he had goggles on that look like they came from the auto shop, and a rough chin, indicating he hadn't shaved in days. But his face either screamed cheerfulness, or insanity.

"HI EVERYBODY!!!"


"HI DOCTOR CID!" the entire hosipital went, even people in grief, like Knuckles, and even people in pain like SC or people in strecthers.

"Now then, I hear someone say doc~tor. Who could it...Ooooo..." he noticed the pained hedgehog in Knuckles arms and rushed over to them. "Hmm...a very blue face, and the signs of sheer broken bones. Hmm...you can use lolypop!"

He pulled out a large purple lolypop and stuck it in SC's mouth.

"Now then, what is the problem?"

[Sipp]

Shortcake fainted. Whether it was from blood loss or HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE TRAUMA remained to be seen.

[Lans]

Knuckles just glared at the, and he was using the term very loosely, doctor. "What do you think is the problem!? She's hurt and no one's doing a damn thing about it!"

[Sipp]

AND SUDDENLY.... A midget short human girl burst dramatically through the doors.

"DID SOMEONE SAY DOCTOR?"

"Yes..." a random patient responded, "LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO!"

"Silence!!!"

"For the last time!" one of the nurses, A MALE, said, sounding rather annoyed, "You are NOT a real doctor!"

"YES I AM!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes!" she posed dramatically. "I have a PhD in kicking your ass!" she then pointed at Knuckles, "... and yo..." she trailed off. "Okay, maybe not yours." She then looked down at the bundle, complete with lollypop in mouth. "You look familiar, have I threatened you before?"

Brief silence. "Gasp! ... It's you! ... You... ... ... um, whatever your name is. Hide the rum!"

"Oh for the love of..." the male nurse hissed, "THE GIRL IS UNCONSCIOUS!"

"When has that ever stopped me?!" the human responded.

The patient paused for a moment, "... She has a point you know."

[AnT]

"People, please, the joking is not ny, or whatever you say in medievil." said Cid, always calm in such stitches.

Pulling out one of those head-phone things, Cid used it to hear SC's heartbeat. "And her heartbeat is playing the Doom song! Yay! We must aid her to the ER room; her bones are as shattered as my mom's China vase."

With that, the nurses took SC, placed her on a strecher, and rolled her to the ER nearby.

"And then I need to cut the center and trim the edges!" Cid continued, pulling out a roaring chainsaw and rushed to the ER.

[Lans]

Knuckles wondered if it was possible to feel more horrified than he was feeling already as he followed the...'doctors.'

[AnT]

Yes he followed the doctors, but all he will find is SC lying on a strecher under a bright light and surrounded by the nurses, and Dr. Cid, around the corner, using the chainsaw to trim a small tree.

"What? I'm just trimming good ol Besty." dashing near the echidna, the doc whispered, "She can be such a b1tch when she needs to be trimmed."

He the gently shoved Knuckles out the door. "Sorry, this is the ER room; no one without any medical license is allowed. But don't worry Mr. Mole-person, she is in capible hands. BUT if anything bad happens, lets not get the law involved."

And the doors were shut tight.

[Sipp]

Maniacal laughter.

[Lans]

Knuckles bllinked as he suddenly found himself back in the ER lobby again, but quickly decided it was probably for the best. The only stuff he knew about medicene was some herbal remedies and some basic stuff like hw to set broken bones. He'd just be in the way, so he paced outside the doors as he waited.

[AnT]

Sadly, Knuckles isn't gonna have the time to relax for a unwanted being for company falls from the sky...literally.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" And crash hard on the sidewalk (Or should I say the sidewalk from the FUTURE!!!!).

A green short robot with a dented drill-nose slowly poked out of the crater, seeing gears orbit around him.

"Boy...the gear-birds are flying tonight. Hee-hee..."

Climbing out of the hole, the robot entered through the hospital doors like a drunken man, or a person in pain.

"Uuuhhhhmmm...is there a doctor in the house? I got a boo-boo." Though he failed to realize that this hospital, like any other, doesn't treat robots, especiall to those built by Eggman.

[Lans]

Knuckles just groaned when the robot entered, as if things weren't bad enough. He stalked over to Grounder.

"All right, because I'm not in the mood, you get one warning. Leave. Now. And you'll leave with all the parts you came in with."

[AnT]

The short robot glared at the talker, who was a foot taller than him. "Hey buddy, this is a free world! Don't be a roboist, you..........."

....


...

His eyes sprout wide at the site of the echidna.



Just then, a tall chicken robot bursted in the hospital. "There you are, Grounder! What are you doing here, you bolt-brain? Don't you know this place is only for dumb fleshy........"


....


....


Now his eyes widen at the echidna.



.....








"YOU!!!!!!!!"

[Lans]

Knuckles didn't bother to respond right then. Grounder had made it clear what his choice was, so he let him have it, throwing punch hard enough to put an egg emporer down.

[AnT]

[dice=6]



BAM!! And the green bot blasted off through the glass doors. The janitors are gonna have such a overtime here.


"Hey buddy! It's bad enough you had to take our jobs a couple a days ago, but nobody does that to Grounder but me!"


Running over the piles of glass, Grounder came back, dented and crushed, whiled holding his head and left arm.

"Yeah!....Wait...HEY!"


"Nobody takes our jobs, not even some dofus who was easily tricked into thinking that Sonic was the bad guy. Ba-HA-hur-HAAA!"


"Yeah! That's more dumber than us!" Grounder said with bad grammer, as he tried to put himself together...literally. "Wow...dumber than us! That's sayin something." [rand=14992510825213584745715021819382902579938255718561326978775324100257]

[Lans]

Ok, Knuckles WAS about to give Scratch the same ultimatum he'd given Grounder, but suddenly he was feeling not so generous.

[dice=6]
POW
(At Scratch if you'e not sure)[rand=7953557767297854514334260653474241037174918694997954328907035111]

"BA-KAAAAWWWW!!!"

And the ceiling blew a great smoke-blast, followed by raining debree. Sadly, a nice looking ceiling fan made its last spin. But it was replaced by a impressive looking chicken-bot, who's throat was caught on the motor of the fan. Now he helplessly span around, slowly, as its power electrocuted his body like a bug zapper.


(Nelson Mutz type laugh) "Ha-HA!" [rand=5310427254539112650204624842647354847530659594342810008675872035]

[Lans]

However that may have been premature as Knuckles turned and grabbed hold of Grounder's neck joing and moved to tosm back out the doors.

[dice=6][rand=40321248358058187021736463652846483821469485068073220322036209349975]

[AnT]

[dice=6]

The bot barely...I mean BARELY survived that. Luckily his head caught the blow. Grounder harnessed the power of ROCKY!! Yeah boy, block his blows with your head. He ain't getting through! Yeah!

And like a pinball, Grounder's head bounced around the halls. "Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!"

In the end, Scratch caught his brother's head.

"Scratch...we ain't doing so cool."


Scratch was still hanging, and gradually spinning on the fan-motor. "Don't worry, watch this."

Before they fell into the pit YE ago in the Death Egg, Scratch found, or should I say accidently ate a chip that allows him to disguise his voice into anyone he came across to. He can also throw it...like so...

(Sonic's voice, sounds like it's coming from behind Knuckles.) "Yo, banana-nose, my grandma can punch harder than you can. Ha-HA!"

[dice=6][rand=4605366328113825791939803881795794628746241823394814091773877791]

[Lans]

[dice=6]

Knuckles being Knuckles, fell for it and immediatly whirled and threw a punch at what was directly behind him, which, unfortunatly for Scratch, was the ceiling fan controls. The control box exploded with a few sparks, causing the fan to start rotating faster and faster...

[dice=6][rand=443117226719716655825322425939031237217747541379255468488348514925]

"WHOOOOOAAAAA!!!!"

And they were slingshot right through a window, and flew right into the sky-traffic, crashing into the windshield of a hover-truck.

"God damn robo-bugs." the driver set the windshield wipers, wiping off the robo-smeer off.

And the fell through the layers of the flying traffic, crashing into a garbage truck.

"Ow..." Grounder poked his head out of the pile, with the clique banana-peel on his head. "Is it just me, or is it that we always end up in the trash."

"Yeaaah! Usually, Dr. Robotnik does the trash-tossing on us."

A few moments of silence....and they started cry. Yet another embarrassing moment for their self-esteem.

"WE'RE CARRIED OFF AGAAAAAAAAIIIIiiiinnnnnnnnnnn...."

Yes they were, to who knows where down the air-road. [rand=052647114434860539195004207025373230750088197339946813402584213587]

[Lans]

And Knuckles just dusted off his hands and went back to where he had been sitting.

[AnT]

And just in the nick (Pun intended), Dr. Cid waltz out the ER room, always with that crazy smile on his face.

"Hi everybody!"

"HI DR. CID!!!" everyone in the room responded, and I mean EVERYONE. It's a power he has.

"And holy smokes, someone seriously must of been totally high on sugar!" he said, noticing the damages around him. Everyone in the room fearfully pointed at Knuckles, but the doc didn't notice. "Anywho, Mr. Mole, good news is that her shattered bones are glued and patched. The bad news is that she has to stay in the hospital for a couple of hours to let her bones recooperate."

Adjusting his goggles, he had a bit of a frown, though still had that smile plastered.

"But I wondered what kind of a heartless person would do that to such a jittery little pointy-haired girl." he said, unaware that Knuckles was the one who accidently caused her injury.

[Lans]

Knuckles didn't immediatly answer. As much as he wanted to blame RK for this, he felt that he was just as much at fault.

"Will she be up to any traveling...after a couple hours I mean?" he asked.

[AnT]

"Well with the miracles of advanced medical technology, and a box of crayons, she'll be up and running."

Then came the big smile.

"But here's some more good news." he held out a piece of paper for Knuckles. "The bill, adding the damages you caused to this place of goodness."

[Lans]

Knuckles just gaped at him for a moment. Having either licked his wounds back on AI or having the government footing the bill, he'd never encountered this sort of situation before.

"...You mean you actually make people PAY for you helping them!?"

[AnT]

"Nah! Naaaah...helping people are free. But medical aid, and damage control don't come cheap. We just got that fan you smashed for Christmas."

Suddenly, the intercom came on, "Dr. Sid! Dr. Sid! Please report to the corenner, imeditatly."

"The corenner? I'm so sick of that guy." out of nowhere, Sid pulled out a motorized unicycle. "Well, bye everybody!"

With that, he drove off through the halls, knocking down people, and those in wheelchairs.

"My bad!"

[Lans]

Knuckles frowned after him. With doctors like that, they oughtta skip the fees out of principle.
