(MUSIC FOR SCENE: Roller Mobster by Carpenter Brut)

They were ramming against the door, and even with Cubot putting his entire weight on the damn thing, it wasn’t doing as much good as they’d hoped. “HEY, ORBOT, WHAT’S THE–NGH–STATUS ON THE BOSS AND HIS NIECE??”

Orbot was in charge of managing info panels and organizing escape routes throughout the base, and his ears lifted up as Cubot shouted to him. “Still working on it– we have to secure the best possible route for the two of them to get out of here. By my calculations, assuming they got to the escape pods, they should be out of here soon!”

Dr Eggman and his niece, Eggette, were still by and large organic creatures, which left them immensely vulnerable to the Metal Virus. There would be time enough later to give the Boss a variation on I Told You So, as right now it was Orbot and Cubot’s job to make sure the damn thing didn’t reach either of those two. The Armadillo and the Labrador may have looked like Mobians, but they were unaffected by the Metal Virus, as they were completely synthetic. Robians weren’t susceptible to the metallic disease, and as such, they could be left behind to block their entry.

Not being affected by the disease did not mean that the Zombots couldn’t damage them severely, however, and from the various cuts in their uniforms and the sparking gash across Cubot’s right arm was telling enough of how dangerous these creatures were. Orbot gasped as he saw his partner straining to keep the door shut, multiple claws reaching around the slight opening—he immediately closed the distance, slamming his smaller frame against the door itself, pushing on it with both hands to aid his friend. Orbot may not have had the brute strength that Cubot did, but that wasn’t about to stop him.

“Nngh—! These things are— really bothersome!”

“YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN, PAL!”

“Remind me to recommend that the Boss go with Plan C next time!”

“HHEHEH–”

SLAM! The Zombots were combining their numbers, crashing their bodies against the door with more force than before, and better timed. Orbot was knocked back by the force of the impact, shaking out his wrists before he drew his weapon, “Cubot, this area is compromised, we need to get deeper into the Base!”

“B-BUT–!”

“Don’t waste time! Let’s go!” He slapped Cubot’s arm and immediately turned, racing towards the opposing hallway, as Cubot kicked off from the door and booked it after Orbot, running on all fours for a moment before balancing back on his two legs. The blunderbots dashed through the hall, alarms ringing around them as emergency lights bathed them in red. They could hear the door crash open, monstrous roaring and moaning filling the room they’d just exited.

“HOW’RE EGGY AND EGGATHA DOIN?” Cubot wheezed, drawing his laser pistol to match Orbot’s laser rifle. The armadillo checked his wrist-mounted pad, examining the hologram info window that popped up. “They’ve made good time. I have the all clear, here. They’ve cleared the base.”

“ALRIGHT! SO… THEN….?”

“We’re on our own, big guy!”

“YOU GO ON AHEAD, ORBOT, I’LL HANDLE THESE GUYS!”

Orbot grinned, his optics wide and somewhat manic looking. He slapped Cubot on the shoulder, “Not on your artificial life, Cubot. If you left me to be ripped apart by Zombots by myself, I’d haunt you.”

The Labrador let out a breathless guffaw, screeching to a halt and turning around to face the incoming onslaught, “OKAY, OKAY, BUT, YOU GOTTA PROMISE THAT WE AIN’T DONE HERE!”

“I make absolutely zero promises, you know that.” Orbot followed suit, pressing his back to Cubot’s, as he noticed the door ahead of them had Zombots pounding against it, too. Ah. “Any last words, old friend?”

“YEAH— I FRIGGIN HATE ZOMBIE MOVIES!!!!!!”

“You can say fuck, I won’t tell the Boss.”

With a loud crash, the Zombots broke through, snarling and reaching toward Orbot as the ones on Cubot’s side began to close the distance. Orbot and Cubot grinned at one another, took aim, and began to blast as many of the metallic monstrosities as they could. They knew that it wouldn’t do any meaningful damage, but they weren’t going to go down without a fight. There was nowhere to run, after all.

Hopefully when the Boss rebuilds them, he leaves out the gruesome nature of their dismantling at the hands of Zombots. No need to include that part in their memory, right?

They're really not going to talk about the three kids that went mysteriously missing at Lillica's house huh? Oh well I'm sure they're fine! Maybe they even "transferred schools"!
