SU Remake 21B

(Flip Card: Scratch)

With Sonic, he with Knuckles, Banjo, Kazooie, Julie-Su, Remmington, and Sonia climbed the wall of Robotnik's HQ before hearing dishes clatter.

Sonia: Did you hear that?

They peeked inside, noticing Bocoe and Decoe placing the dishes in the dish washer while Sleet, Dingo, and Nic were cleaning dishes.

Bocoe: We are surprised, Wolf. We didn't think you were that good in cooking.

Decoe: Maybe you should have been a chef.

Nic: Yeah, that food did taste good. How did you learn how to cook anyway?

Sleet: Well, when you live with someone you've known most of your life, you tend to pick up a few things.

Dingo: He used to be Don's chef before he got involved.

Bocoe: When we hired you guys, we expected more than just you two.

Decoe: What happened that made you lose all the others?

Sleet: It's a sappy story and I don't think you'd be bother with it. All I know is that it involves Scourge and my ex, Fiona.

The others looked concerned while only Kazooie frowned.

Kazooie: Come on, we're almost to the cells.

Sonic: Right. Right.

They continued climbing the wall. As that happened, Dingo groaned a bit.

Dingo: Uh oh...I...I gotta go!

Quickly, he dashed off. With Coconuts, he sighed before looking at the clean toilet.

Coconuts: Finally, all done. And not a bit of dirt left.

Just then, Dingo busted into the room as he groaned.

Dingo: I shouldn't have taken that prune juice!

He shoved Coconuts as he watched Dingo go in the stall, closing it.

Dingo: Ooooh.

The monkey only panicked. Outside, his scream was heard.

Coconuts' Voice: NOOOOOOOO!!!!

With the robots, the last of the garbage was sucked up.

Scratch: Okay, Grounder, break time.

The bag was placed down and tied up while the hose turned back to the drill hand.

Grounder: Finally. Ick, I feel so dirty. Ah-Choo!

He sneezed some dirt onto Scratch, making him look disgusted.

Scratch: You dumb bot! Why I oughta-

At that moment, Robotnik, on a hovercraft, arrived to them.

Robotnik: Oh, very nice. (clapping) Much better.

Grounder: Yay! Does it mean we're out of the alley now?

Robotnik: Of course it does. But first...where are the others?

At that moment, he noticed the hunters, Bocoe, Decoe, and a horrified Coconuts arriving with the robot monkey twitching.

Coconuts: So...much...poo!!

He fell to the ground with Nic sighing.

Nic: Get up. It wasn't that bad, was it?

Coconuts: Blame the one that drank prune juice.

Dingo: I was told prune juice was good for you.

Coconuts: To old people, maybe...

Robotnik: Besides, I have some inside jobs for you.

Dingo: (grins) All right!

Coconuts: At least I took care of the bathroom.

Robotnik: The other bathrooms in my headquarters haven't been cleaned in ages. He-he-he.

Coconuts: (twitching) Other...bathrooms?!

Robotnik: And I am in need of laundry duty. And there's also fixing my machinery!

Bocoe & Decoe: Machinery's ours!

Hunters: We got laundry!

The five dashed, leaving the dumb bots with Coconuts.

Coconuts: (glares) You two are helping.

Scratch: No fair!

Grounder: Why us?!

At a factory, Tails' group was walking on the bridge as Amy looked at the area.

Amy: Let's take this place down.

Manic: Like it does any good.

Conker: I am so ready to toss you into the lava if you keep complaining.

Manic: At least something will happen.

Cream: Manic, even though we're in doubts, don't think of suicide! It's a very, very bad thing.

Cheese: Chao.

They looked at the boiling heated metal before Ray spoke.

Ray: I wonder where that ARTT creature is?

Just then, they heard hissing.

Rodent: Well, you don't have to wonder anymore.

Then, to their surprise, a cable hit the roof. TO their shock, the group saw ARTT climbing up. Then, he landed on the bridge with Tails looking concerned.

Tails: Hey, I just had a thought...maybe since he probably started, he probably doesn't know right from wrong.

Mina: What makes you think that?

The robot aimed his robotic gun toward them.

ARTT: ARTT will end the trouble now.

Bunnie: I don't think so.

Then, as Bunnie touched her medallion, Tails noticed the robot scanning.

Tails: Bunnie, wait-

It was too late as ARTT fired. Quickly, Mina yanked her away. The group ducked down as the robot kept firing. At that moment, all, but Tails and Mina, fell downward.

Eight: WHOA!

They grabbed the line together, grunting as they held on.

Amy: Rodent, don't let go!

Tails got out his guitar, then fired at the arm, knocking him down. However, to the two's shock, they saw the arm starting to reconfigure.

Mina: In the words of Sonic, Bummer Majoris.

It stopped glowing, showing the arm as a robotic gun. He fired before Tails grabbed Mina and flew themselves to the ceiling. Tails fired quickly as ARTT got out a gun from his chest.

ARTT: Goodbye, evil ones.

Tails: Huh? Evil?

Mina: I don't think so!

Tails and ARTT collided their beams, trying to outdo one another. However, as they did, both him and Mina slid downward, making ARTT hit where he stood. Then, he fell into the melted metal, splashing into it. They saw the arm stuck out before it sank.

Mina: I think ARTT just flunked the acid test.

The six swung to the other side while Tails holding Mina, Cream, and Cheese flew to it while the double neck guitar turned back to a medallion.

Conker: (grins) Yes!

Amy: Nice work, you two.

Mina: No problem, guys.

Manic: Nothing's getting out of that.

They looked at the melted metal before Bunnie smiled.

Bunnie: Let's book on outta here and see if Sonic rescued our fellow comrades.

They dashed out, though Tails looked back.

Tails: (to himself) How come I feel like we haven't seen the last of ARTT?

As soon as they were gone, ARTT's head and some remains jumped out before landing on the ground. ARTT grunted, wheezing in pain before nearing some metal.

ARTT: I need...to rebuild!

He struck his arm at the side of a machinery, then in an instant, many parts were starting to collide before he began to look more animal. When it was done, the now robotic silver/blue hedgehog-like robot turned with his red eyes glowing.

ARTT: Destroy hedgehogs. No problem-o.

Outside the HQ, Coconuts grunted, falling to the ground as he looked disappointed.

Coconuts: So many...toilets! Too many!

Just then, he noticed a familiar blue hedgehog, red echidna, and their comrades heading out of the place with Antoine, Rotor, Big, and Froggy.

Big: Thanks, guys.

Antoine: I was afraid we would be goners.

Rotor: Good thing you guys came and took them out.

Kazooie: No problem. It's what adventurers do.

As soon as they were gone, Coconuts looked worried.

Coconuts: Oh no! Oh no! Dr. Robotnik is not gonna like this!

At Knothole, the Sonic Underground and the ones with instruments got out their instruments while Sonic grinned.

Sonic: We really kicked some 'bot butt.

Mina: Too bad you missed our butt kicking.

Manic: Yeah, but I bet 'Buttnik's already working on something better.

Cream: And probably worst than what we had to go through.

Kazooie: (glares) Will you just get over it?! I'm just about ready to peck your noggins to pieces.

Banjo: Kazooie!

Sonia: Come on, you two. Let the music move you.

Manic beated his drums while Cream played her flute slightly.

Cream: Well...I guess so.

Manic: Yeah, you're right, sis.

Then, they began playing their instruments together while Cheese, Kazooie, Big, Antoine, Rotor, Froggy, and Vanilla watched. As they kept playing, unknown to any of them, a familiar cable peeked in. Then, when it came near them, the cable morphed to ARTT.

ARTT: (to himself) What in the world?

Then, when he completely changed to normal once more, he extended many cables before everyone was screaming and being lifted all.

All: Gah!

Knuckles: Hey, what's going on?

Julie-su: What's happening?

Remmington: Damn!

The group grunted as Tails gasped.

Tails: ARTT? You turned to a robot hedgehog?

ARTT: No spin. I told you I would learn.

Everyone grunted as Manic frowned.

Manic: Okay, you got us so go ahead and take us in.

Quickly, Kazooie hit him.

Kazooie: Shut the **** up, Manic.

Cream: (gasps) Kazooie!

ARTT: First, make more of that noise.

Sonic: (grunting) Noise?

ARTT: The noise you were making.

Amy: That noise is music!

Sonia: But you wouldn't know about music, because 'Buttnik outlawed it.

ARTT: (confused) 'Buttnik? 'Buttnik...oh, Robotnik. Robotnik. Buttnik. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. That is very funny.

Tails: Guys, I think he's starting to learn humor.

Antoine: What are you talking about?

Tails: I remember ARTT saying that he's learning, so he's starting to learn a few new things from us as he continues to exist.

ARTT: The fox...Tails was it? He is correct. Now please, play the no-I mean music.

He placed them down as they picked up their instruments.

Sonic: Well, since we've got no choice...time to rock your socks off, bud.

Kazooie: (dryly) Yippee.

All: One, two, three, four!

Cheese: Chao!

Then, the group began playing. As they played ARTT began to smile with his artificial mouth, then brought out a strange keyboard from within himself, joining in on the song.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sound of Freedom

All: Wake up, what's goin' down
That's the sound of freedom
Check out this thing we've found
That's the sound of freedom

Sonic: We have battled with our backs to the wall
We have struggled to win freedom for us all
We have lost so many friends
It's important that we win
Won't you join us everybody, hear the call

All: 'Cause together we can get our freedom back
Sonic: Do not falter we must go on the attack
All: Oh, freedom is our prize
Keep it shinning in your eyes
Sonic: We won't bend, we won't even crack

All: Wake up, what's goin' down
That's the sound of freedom
Check out this thing we've found
That's the sound of freedom
Sonic: Freedom

All: Wake up, what's goin' down
That's the sound of freedom

Sonic: Of freedom

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they finished, Manic glanced to ARTT.

Manic: (smirks) Okay, ARTT, do what you've gotta do.

Tails: I get the feeling you may know right and wrong at this point...
