I think you should add Rankles The Otter as an ally to the team.

//This guy is legit not even a real character, dude. I know you're probably trying to recruit him to be a Pibby member but no thanks.

<It is no real importance to me that you die, but you shouldn't make it so you fall to yourself. If I were to die I would rather it be TO Sonic than anyone else, but I do not plan to die any time soon. You should have that same mentality.>

<...But know that I do have the power to crush you where you stand. Be lucky you are not that blue rodent or that lime green twit.>

...and yep, now he wants to throw the rig-around.

<And now, you are breathing manually.>

<Until we meet again!>

@the-canon-nebula asked: <That course of action is ill-advised for someone of your caliber. Save your untimely death for your rival.>

❝I can't tell if you're complimenting me, reassuring me, or threatening me— and I actually happen to find that incredibly impressive. Good job, I'll be sleeping with one eye open tonight.❞

Can you two PLEASE get a room, there are Metal Hedgehogs planning revenge over here!!

[the-canon-nebula]

Magnetizing the place, eh? Good try, but he's already dealt with such a thing. Being around for as long as he had, he's been in many combat situations, real or synthesized, so Metal was always one step ahead. One lesson he learned from Sonic, of all people- Always keep moving.

His Black Shield dissipating, he'd use his jets to fly upwards, floating above the room, before rocketing like a meteor towards her and grabbing at her neck! A metal hand squeezing at it her throat, lifting her up high over his head.

"You have a lot to learn still about your place. Right now you're nothing more important than an over-hyped Flicky in an Egg Pawn Suit. You are replaceable.

"And if you think you can defeat Sonic? Think again. Only I can and will destroy that worthless vermin. Know. your. place."

With that, Metal would rear back, and throw TB to the nearest wall without any such worry. This strength, this power... Metal Sonic would really be king if he was on his own.

But... he was always held back.

TB was lucky she got out in time- the next punch caused the dome to cave in, and the force of the attack pierced straight through the machine like it was paper. She had to imagine, at least for a moment, that if she was still in there? She would've been that paper.

That's when Thunderbolt brought out her namesake; with electrical pulses coming forth, he'd evade just as he had done with the Mech. Dodging strike after strike, using his quick thinking instead of strength to defeat a foe who was letting her anger get the better of her.

Even when a stray bolt was coming right towards him as he evaded, he wouldn't stop. Instead, a diamond shape enveloped him just before the impact- His Black Shield. A shield capable of deflecting almost any attack, which includes TB's little sparking tantrum.

He'd let her fizzle out before going in for the finishing blow...

"Ah, so it's no different than an Egg Pawn."

Metal Sonic was keenly aware that the Doctor's machines were mostly made to be replaceable. That he cared about quantity over quality... save for certain others, like himself. This should be quick.

Without even so much as a warning, Metal Sonic would set his thrusters active, speeding in circles around the Chinchilla's Mech. Metal was an almost-exact copy of Sonic in every way- His speed, his strength, his quick wit- All of them matching- even exceeding, his organic copy. If she couldn't beat Metal Sonic, what hope could she ever have of beating the REAL Sonic?

Soon enough, Metal made his move. While she was dizzy from the circling, he'd hop up right onto the mech's chest, letting metallic hands punch into the glass dome, causing it to crack under the immense power almost immediately! If it kept up, he'd crack open that suit like a soda can.

See, one thing you don't do is diss his relevance. He's had enough of that.

"Says the one who hides in a suit of armor... no, scratch that- who hides in a tin can. If you're as half as talented as you say you are, you don't need to hide behind such an overweight hunk of wasted electronics... but don't worry- we'll have a face-to-face encounter as soon as I rip you out of it."

Metallic fingers would move in a way to emulate cracking knuckles; crimson eyes glinting towards the overzealous chinchilla in her mech.

He's faced worse before... hell, he's been worse.

"Seems like a lot of talk, from a chinchilla in punting range."

She only just recently came here, right? And she's ALREADY this high in Eggman's army? Literally how? He'd seriously questioned his "father's" foresight before, but a literal fangirl? Kind of ridiculous.

"I know just how ya feel. I even dress up as the big jolly fella, and people STILL call me a "Little Green Spaceman!" What part of me looks green, huh?! The only worse insult a Furon could get is being called a Martian!

I say, let's make like someone else green- Let's steal this holiday for ourselves!"

"Why can this 'Santa' guy break into people's houses every year, but when I do it, suddenly it's all 'Oh no! Call the cops!'?! DOUBLE STANDARDS MUCH!?!"

[the-canon-nebula]

"Y'know, back on Furon, we don't have "Holidays;" we all think frivolities like that're just a waste of time, like comedies or playin' music... 'cept for that one guy- Blind Willie Syphilis he was called; that was some real jazzy stuff.

"But... generosity, and togetherness with family? Between you, me, and the floorboards, the cloning vat was warmer."

[the-canon-nebula]

"I can at least verify the brat's got no brain... tried t' lobotomize him myself, but all I got was that lactoid byproduct from those stinking gasbags in those red houses... guh, sometimes I hate this mudball of a planet."

"...y'know what? Sure it Does! And hey- I've got a nice, big death ray that I can use to help you. Just tell me where to aim..."

"So, what you're saying is that if I set the temperature to MAX, I can have the delicious sugary cookies ready in seconds??" Makes total sense to him!

[the-canon-nebula]

"Why, I'd LOVE to! I'm always fine with humans who're always eager to get abducted. Say, we can even roll around in my saucer for a bit- I can show you my big death ray, if you know what I mean~!"

"Next week is Thanksgiving! Anybody here wanna kidnap me?" She doesn't want to visit her parents. Like, at all. Please give her an excuse to not go.

"W-Woah, woah... easy boy, easy... Good dog..?"

The Xiaolin Warrior held his hands upward at the wolf approaching him slowly, fangs bared and angry. He'd been directed by Dojo that somewhere in Jump City was another Shen Gong Wu, but he didn't think that it'd have a protector. Cautiously yet quickly, he looked around, soon eyeing something; a small tree branch; likely strewn in from the latest storm from the park! Perfect!

"...You wanna play fetch? Huh? Does he wanna play?"

He really didn't think suck a cockamamie, cartoon-level idea like this would work, but what choice did he have!? He didn't wanna hurt the poor thing! ...or worse, let it hurt him!

A growl rumbles so deep that you feel the ground almost shake. Paw steps make clicking sounds, claws out, as the green wolf approaches you, gums showing in the beginnings of a sharp-fanged snarl.

[the-canon-nebula]

"Heh, sorry, bug-breath- These Human Brains are reserved for the Superior Species; the ones who've been here longer-"

"Quiet, Crypto!" The Holopox came from his pack, humming to life and sounding out a voice that was... VERY familiar. "Did I hear correct; that there is a project that you are working on? Perhaps the Furons and you... Irken, can find a way to work together..."

"Wh- Pox!? You can't be SERIOUS about this, right!? This little termite's annoying! Worse than human children, or even that high-pitched whining in the Tachyon Drifter! It's not like I can get a Quantum-Loop Recarbulator to fix it on this mudball of a planet!

Besides- 'Peace' isn't even in our vocabulary! Hello!? We're a WAR-DRIVEN Race??"

"I hear you, Crypto- but we should use the Humans' own history... and lack of current status, against them- working... 'together,' with other subspecies to fulfil mutual goals. Kind of like that Holiday you two were babbling about; that "Thanks-Giving," or whatever. You there- Irken! Does that project of yours absolutely -require- the use of the Stem of the human Brain? You see; perhaps you and I could mutually benefit from this... you get your army, we Furons get the Brain Stems... and we'll say... split the large continents of the world 5:3?" He motioned to himself at the "5;" they DID say they were first on the planet after all.

"I honestly don't get it either; stupid monkeys huntin' down even stupider birds and roasting them 'fer hours- not even with a death ray, just to stuff their fat faces with it! Some people even deep fry 'em in lard, or stuff 'em with other birds! Not only that but they make SO MUCH food, they gotta unbuckle t'make room!

God, I love America; Just because I can't understand it doesn't mean I can't enjoy the sinful spoils of humans' overindulgence- just makes takin' their brains that much easier when they can't move."
