I've been hiding something from you

Sonic and Sally

The Robotropolis sky was dark-red and a Hover Unit flying by. Sonic, Sally and Bunnie were standing in a fog, causing Bunnie to cough.

"Oh! Don't you just love all this fresh air?" Bunnie said.

"Yeah, about as much as I love Robuttnik." Sonic said.

Sally worked on Nicole while Bunnie rummaged through Sonic's backpack.

"Arm cannisters, NICOLE." Sally said.

"Arming, Sally." Nicole said as Bunnie place ad cannister in Sonic's backpack, which already has 3 and they all lit up. "Cannisters armed."

"You're all loaded, sugar-hog." Bunnie said.

"Cool, synchronize the ole' watches." Sonic said and they looked at their watches and put their arms out, activating a timer together. "Okay, meet you at the usual. If anybody's late, jam back to Knothole. Check?"

"Check." Bunnie and Sally said.

"Good luck, y'all!" Bunnie said running off.

"Let's do it, to it." Sonic and Sally said as they shared a secret handshake and give a thumbs up.

At Swat-bot factory Swat-bots guarded an immense entrance. Crane machinery was moving inside. Nearby, behind a pile of scrap metal, Sonic did some sleuthing. The Swat-bots were accompanied by security cameras at the entrance.

"Must've forgot the welcome mat. Gotta find another way in." he said and looked around to see a large ship entering a port at the top of the factory.

Then he grabbed a piece of metal and threw it at the security camera, destroying it. The Swat-bots noticed and vacate the entrance to investigate, giving Sonic time to enter the area.

"Juice time!" he said and ran up the side of the building beside the entrance and entered the port, full of garbage.

Then he stopped as he hit an edge and looked down at a vat of a hot liquid. Another ship came and pushed the garbage further into the port and toward the edge.

"What?! Bad move, hedgehog! Mondo bad move!" he said.

The scrap metal pushed him with it as parts of the scrap pile fell into the vat of hot liquid.

"I'm outta here!"

Before he fell over the edge, he jumped at a bucket hanging over the vat, hanging onto a rope suspending it. A crane holding the bucket and rope, moved aside with him in tow. Below, he saw a conveyor belt assembly line for Swatbots.

At Robotropolis Bunnie stopped running at a red panel and looked around to see a Hover Unit approach. She ducked, but the Hover Unit computer in the shuttle detected her.

"Alert, Alert. Organic lifeform detected." a Swat-Bot said while the other slapped the control panel.

"Don't bother. Substation electricity interferes with heat sensor. Ignore." it said so the Hover Unit continued on as Bunnie stood up and looked.

She ran back to the red panel, ripping it open with her roboticized arm and looked back at her watch.

"19...18...17..." she said.

At Swat-bot factory Sonic switched ropes and slid to the ground then rushed aside to cover as a yellow Swat-bot passed by. Then he looked at his watch.

"8...7...6..." he said.

Outside, Sally looked at her watch as well as a Hover Unit flew behind her.

"5...4...3..." she said.

Back at Robotropolis Bunnie was holding onto a switch in the panel.

"2...1...Bingo!" she said and pulled down the switch.
