"Wind Rider, we've been expecting you."
An aged blue pony with a grey mane and aerial ace helmet cutiemark slowly trotted into the unusually dim yet still whiter that which chamber of Dr. Eggman Code Name: "Hard Boiled".
"In fact, we were expecting a successful mission," Hard Boiled said, turning in his chair to face the old pegasus. "We were all planning on giving you a welcome back party-" Behind him, a fabulous blonde Eggman and a Biker Eggman blocked his only exit. "-but you need to be in a welcoming mood for that party."
The lights took a green tint as heavy metal footsteps and chattering teeth came near, a deep voice straight from the deepest reaches of Tartarus growling. The original Robotnik known as "Big Mouth" around his counterparts came into view, passing the two racing Eggmen. Wind Rider slowly turned his head, watching as him and Snively walked to the front of the room and sat on a seat two robots prepared next to Hard Boiled. "Wind Rider."
"Sir."
"You have failed to remove the Rainbow one- Snively, continue for me." Being in a world of ponies, it was no surprise that just saying 'rainbow' wasn't going to build intimidation.
The meek little man in green took out a thick packet and read, "You will not get a second chance, your family will be robotisized and work in our mines, and your granddaughter will either be trained for our goals or robotisized so that she will be scrapped for spare parts." He looked up from his script, "Sorry, but you don't have a say in the matter."
Wind Rider sighed, "I understand." His eyes met the whole Eggman council (Minus Nega) and he bowed, "Please, take me instead."
Big Mouth grinned, "Sure. We'll take you."
The Robotnik dubbed "Beach Ball" cleared his throat, "I hate to say this, but I'm not letting you do that."
All eyes were on him, "Real Man" Eggman left the room as he was aware of the circumstances.
"Wind Rider, by agreeing with Hitler 2.0 here, your family won't be spared," Wind Rider's eyes widened as he briefly turned back to Big Mouth, "In fact, he wouldn't force them to work, he can make them work against their will. You and your granddaughter's fate will be unknown. He might use you to spy on Sonic or scrap you for parts, or make you mine- I don't know!"
Big Mouth got up, his robot chicken flew out of the room. "How dare you defy me!"
"Its a triple hedgehog dare, you old relic!" Beach Ball shouted, striking Big Mouth with a homing attack similar to Sonic's. Big Mouth stood dazed for a moment before slowly turning, transforming his robot arm into a word.
Eggman "Loki" pointed and exclaimed, "How did you do that?!"
"I can beat Sonic in a foot race, logic being that if I took enough yoga and studied the blue pest then I would learn more than the rest of you! I'm running for council leader, baby!"
"You're running alright," Big Mouth attempted to impale Beach Ball, failing.
"Old man, you move like a tank! Fight like one!" he lifted his fists, hopping on his heels as if he was a boxer. "In fact, get your nephew to fight your battles. Snively, go beat up the fast meanie! I have a deep voice and a robot arm, I'm intimidating! Wake up, you fool!"
Big Mouth glared at Beach Ball- the code names not giving this moment the serious justice its demanding -before nodding at Snively, who replied with hand signals and head motion response. It wasn't working out, "Snively..."
"Oh, that canon! R-right, sir!" he replied, the little guy leaving the room. There was a tense pause before a laser beam shot Big Mouth a few times. Snively returned with a black cape that resembled a vampire's cloak. A smoking pistol in his hand.
"SNIVELY!" Big Mouth shouted in shock, his voice higher than usual.
"Yeah, you made this death too easy. I mean, you global robotisizer killed you," as he ranted, time seemed to slow as everyone looked at the body on the ground. Sparks flew from the holes as the head popped off, causing Snively to stop. "...Damn."
Suddenly, Snively was obliterated from behind. Holding a smoking laser canon to his side, Big Mouth replied to the ashes. "That, canon. A canon fit for a tank." He then repeated the action at Wind Rider, who was too destroyed to have ashes. "You have one life left, Mr. Robotnik."
Big Mouth left the chamber, leaving everyone mourning for-
"I-is he gone?" Snively asked through Cubot.
"Loki" Eggman laughed, "He is. Are you in the human world?"
"The trip was a success. Within ten or so operations, you will all have Eggman Empire Land," he reported. "Project E.E.L. for short."
"That's convenient," King stated. "Though, how do we explain Wind Rider's death?"
As one, every Eggman replied, "We don't!"
Real Man returned with a smirk, "He's gone."
