I walk down the steps to the dinning room. It was much larger than I would have imagined and food stretched across the table. It looked really good, now I know how hungry I am.
"Ah, Zara you're here." Eggman smiled at me. "You must be hungry, go on, eat." He sits down and I follow. I took a bite out of some chicken and swallowed. It was pretty good.
"Where are the robots?" I asked, they weren't here.
"As robots they only drink fuel. But they are busy helping me build a new robot to catch that pesky hedgehog Sonic." He said, but then sighed. "But everything I've created has been destroyed by Sonic."
I set down my drink. "Can I see the robot your making?" I'm not all that great with robotics, but maybe I could help in some way.
"Of course, follow me." Eggman stood and lead me down a flight of stairs. We make it to a huge metal door, which slid open when the doctor pushed a button on the wall. Once inside we make our way to the vary back. I look around at all the robot parts that were strewn everywhere and at some unfinished robots.
"Which one is it Doctor?" I asked. He points to a red robot with thick metal plates on its arms. It was pretty big, Bocoe and Decoe were drilling in a final armor pice on the robots chest.
"Doctor Eggman, your strength robot is complete." Decoe said proudly.
"Good work. It looks wonderful." He smiled. "Sonic won't know what hit him."
"Hate to rain on your parade Doctor, but this robot isn't completely finished." I said circling it.
"How would you know?" Bocoe glared at me for judging his work.
"Well just look at it!" I point to the robots legs. "You have most of the armor on the arms, that gives it strength, but you need more armor on the legs. If not, the robot will be off balance, so Sonic can easily push it over. Also, it won't hurt to add a metal plate to its shoulders. That way the arms are more secure for holding the weight of all the metal on them. Otherwise the arms will easily come clean off." I walked to the back of it and opened the panel where the wires were.
"What are you doing?" Eggman asked curious.
"Checking the wiring. Good thing I did. See here?" I point to yellow, red, and green wires. "They are out of order, so you could easily lose control of your robot." Next I jumped on its shoulders and inspected it's head. "Last thing!" I called down to them. "Tighten the bolts on the head more."
"Why should we?" I could tell Bocoe and Decoe were unhappy by their voice.
I jump down. "Unless you want the head to spin or come off, then you better. But aside from that, that's all that needs tinkering. Then it will be done." I look at the three of them, they looked like they've seen a ghost.
"What?" I asked.
"Hm... Well, may I ask for your assistance in building the robot?" Eggman asked.
My eyes widen. "You want me to help you build this robot!?"
"But, doctor! The robot is already completed, why should we wast the martial?" Bocoe waved his arms wildly. "This robot will take Sonic to the ground!"
Decoe whispered in Eggman's ear, but I could still hear it. "Doctor, who are you going to believe? Your creations or this hedgehog?" Eggman thought for a moment before turning to me.
"I hope you don't mind, but we will send the robot as it is." I was kinda hurt he said that, but I understand.
I shook my head. "It's fine... Just out of curiosity, where are the scrap metal your planning to get rid of?"
