Commander Packbell and Bookshire Draftwood by David Pistone MechTail by Paul Lapensee (La-pon-say) Now that I got that out of the way. Time to start the story. Note this is my first story, hope you enjoy it. The story seems to drift from what you see to what Mechtail see's and back. Sorry about that, every one has there own way of story telling, I'll get better at it as time goes on. The time line is after Doomsday. ____________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 1 A factory somewhere in Robotropolis is busy with life if you could call it a life. Worker Bots, mindless robot slave's which were once people are busy working at different tasks. Through trapped in these body's every one is aware of what there are doing but are helpless to stop it. Swatbots role off the ensemble line ready to be activated. A Worker Bot is busy assembling Swatbot heads, a metal male squirrel in his late teens. /*Boy I hate my job\* The Work Bot thinks to him self. /*If only I could stop, but NOO.. I can help it, my stupid program won't let me.\* /*Just think a month ago I was appointed leader or was asked to be one because Alice got killed during a mission. At the time I thought it was a good idea like being the leader of the Eastern Freedom Fighters. /*Through we were a very small group I think we held up pretty well. I never went on many mission's to robo town because I didn't know my way around.\* /*The other freedoms fighters found it odd that I never went along on thought's missions but I told them I didn't want to risk the mission if I got lost. ALL what's the use every thing went wrong. If I every get out of this I'll go home and stay there."\* "Worker Bot #549268217 report to the roboticizer room" Came over the loud speaker. /*Ohh not a again./* The Worker bot stopped what he was doing and walked out the door. /*I really, really hate this.\* In the roboticizer room Swatbots are holding a young female fox. Packbell is smiling at her. "You'll never get a away with this." She saids. "Yes, yes I heard it all before. Besides what can you do to stop me?" I walk into the room to see a fox looking at me very frightend. "Ahh so there you are." Packbell said. "AWAITING COMMAND SIR?" I said. /*Yes you stupid electric toaster.\* "Take your position." I walked up to the controls. "I'll give you one last chance to tell me where the rest your friends are hiding." "NEVER I'LL DIE FIRST." I could see that PAC-MAN was getting angry. "Fine then, but what a have in mind is worse then death. Put here in the roboticizer" The Swatbots put the young fox on the platform. Packbell looked at me. "Well get on with it, activate." My body walked infront of the control panel. /*NOOO DON'T DO IT STOP AHH.. can't control my self./* My paw pushed some buttons and the roboticizer started its cycle, the glass tube came down over the fox and yellow bolts of what looked like lighting hit her. Less then 10 seconds later she was turned into a Worker Bot. The glass tube lifted up and the new bot walked out. "AWAITING COMMAND SIR?" /*Poor girl.\* Little did I realize that a tear ran down my face. /*A tear?\* Packbell looked at me will a smile "Take her to factory #254 and assign her work." "YES SIR." /*You'll pay for this PAC-MAN some day you will.\* I walked beside her as I led her to the factory not able to speak or stop. /*I wish I could say something to her, to help her, something to easy her pain but I can't.\* /*I do believe that Packbell knows that Worker Bots still think for them self's but can't do anything else, that's why he calls me to the roboticizer either that or because I called him PAC-MAN before he roboticized me. I think he is trying to torture me, and I'm sure he likes doing it./* One day while I was busy do the job I all ways hate. Something was going on outside. "Sonic what are you doing?" Asked Sally. "Sorry Sal I'm board." "Well stop it we only have to wait another minute." Sonic stopped tapping his foot. "Do you have the charges ready Sonic?" "Yep!" "Well give me half of them." "Here you go Sal." As he handed the bombs to Sally. "There it is, Sonic, Power Station #12" Sally said. "I see it, are you ready Sal?" "Yes I got my new boots on, remember. Here put Nicole in your back pack I have no room in mine. " And removing Nicole from the harness on her leg and gave it to Sonic. There can be heard a small explosion a distance away. "Ok it worked the Swatbots are leaving there post." Sonic and Sally gave each other a kiss. Then the two of them ran down towards the station and split into two different directions. They entered the station, Sonic zipped into the front Sally in the back. Snively saw them enter the building from the control room. Packbell was with him. "There going to blow up my Power Station, DO SOMETHING!" Snively said to Packbell. Packbell looked at Snively "No Swatbot would get there in time, even if they did, it is unlikely they will be able to catch them. But I can seal them in the building, if the Station blows they will go with it." There was smile on Packbell face as he hit a switch. Sonic just lad down the last charge which was set to blow in 15 seconds. Sonic whistled to Sally then the timers started. Sonic look around, and to his horror, saw that the doors were closing. "SAL THE DOORS! RUN!!!!" Sonic ran as fast as he could towards the door, he saw that Sally was right behind him. Sonic ran outside, Sally could see the door closing, there was enough time to make it through. As she was running for the door her foot hit something and she tripped. Sonic was going so fast that he was 25 feet from the door before he came to a stop to see Sally behind him, but she wasn't behind him. "SAL!!!!" Running back, the door shut. "NOO SAL!" Sonic did a triple spin trying to cut through the door. BOOOOOOM!!!! Sonic was blown away from the blast a good 200 feet. Sonic looked as the building collapsed. "SALLY!!" Then Sonic passed out. Dulcy found Sonic laying on the ground and pick him up and flew back into the Great Forest. Later Sonic woke up in Knot Hole. "Sonic where's Aunt Sally?" asked Tails. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is this the end of Sally and what about the Worker Bot how does he fit into this store well you'll just have to wait till the next chapter.
