City Escape: Infiltration, Who's The Real McCoy?

[Alien-Child]

Like it never happened, the Eggman insignias all around the city are gone and the metropolis was back to normal. Mobians and Humans walk the streets like everyday, though even in this world, these trio of canines have to be careful for being out laws...


Wondering the ally way with his two companions, the bulky dingo tried to make sense of the map. "I can't this thing... what bar did he say we met him in?"

[Ninetalesuk]

Growling, he snatched the map. "Let me look at this..."

He looked at it carefully and.... "...huh... we're close... for a moment there, I thought you held the map upside down..."

[YolkaEd]

"You know, this had better be worth dragging me from that bar." the final companion scoffed...



...as he adjusted his hat a tad. "...we're how close, again?"

[Alien-Child]

"We're going to another bar, right? So maybe we can-"

DING!


Before the trio was a Metal Sonic, only green with a metal plate painted as a jacket. Standing up, the robot nudge the three down to a bar, saying 'Chao Down!'


"I.. guess we're here?"

[Ninetalesuk]

"Whoever thought up that name should die..." He grumbled, walking into the bar. "Come on!"

[YolkaEd]

"...right." With a scoff, the bounty hunter entered the bar. "I'll start listening to this offer of his, and you two get us something to drink."

[Alien-Child]

"Uh, right!" Dingo said, walking in.



Metal Scourge lead the way through the room, it did got a few glances but none for long. Most of these people were more thugs and low lives, they had eyepatches, scars or dirty clothes. Metal Scourge stopped as he stood before a booth with one sole occupant.


"Glad you guys could make it." The person under the hooded sweater said, removing the cloth.


Speedy looked up at the canines.

[YolkaEd]

"...been a while, kiddo." Fang hummed, before he nonchalantly dropped down on a vacant seat by the booth the Kukku sat by. "How're things holding up, lately?"

[Ninetalesuk]

"We haven't seen you since Eggman's downfall..." He said, sitting down.

[Alien-Child]

"Well, after that battle in Metropolis, I tried to put my dad in another dirt nap, sadly this tin-can was his bodyguard." Points to Metal Scourge, "The only reason why he didn't do me in itself was because its program to be loyal to the Battle Lords themselves, which still includes me. Something like those 'Three Laws of Robotics' thing.
Well, basically I've been in hiding from the law and my former armada but then it turns out I've gotten word that the 'Prince' is still commanding the Kukkus." Speedy goes into his sweater and puts on the table a photo of what seems like him, wearing his bio-armor right in one of the Kukku's ships, at the command seat.
"This was taking a few days ago, which is strange since I was at Casino Night Zone at the time. Not to mention why would I still be at command because of my recent events?"

[Ninetalesuk]

Looking at the photographs, he blinked. "...either this is nonsense you're making up or...."

[YolkaEd]

"...an impostor." Fang hummed, rubbing his chin. ...like that girl... he thought...



...recalling a similar situation between two others he had met recently...



"...so, what do you want us to do about this?" Fang inquired.

[Alien-Child]

"I can't go back to the Kukkus obviously, and while I can get some information with Metal Scourge, he's loyal to my father, and that may hinder things. However, you three seem to still be under the Kukku's 'ally' list. Besides the fact I busted all three of you from prison, I'm still offering payment."


"Really?" Dingo grinned as he sat down at the table, a tray of beverage at his hands.


Accepting his, despite way under the drinking age, "Indeed, I still have my fortune in one of my secret accounts, along with the fact once we're done with this mission, I should gain control of the Kukkus and pay you all even more."

[Ninetalesuk]

He drummed his fingers. ".....it's going to be pricey......"

[YolkaEd]

"...and risky." Fang mused, as he snagged a drink and chugged part of the glass' contents. "So you'd better be prepared to part with a lot of cash, kiddo."

[Alien-Child]

Speedy took a chug of his drink, and went under the table and pulled out a brief case. For a second, he opened it and revealed rows upon rows of bills.


Dingo drooled as he reached to touch it-

SNAP!


For Speedy to close it shut. "Consider this an early payment. I've also got word one of the location the Kukku's have been spotted was at South Island, a large amount of chaos energy was with them as they've departed.
Three guess what that might be, and if you are interested in it, you guys can have it when you get it."

[YolkaEd]

It didn't take long for Fang to smirk, revealing his larger canine. "...now that sounds like a deal to me."

[Ninetalesuk]

"Of course... it's a deal..." He smirked. "We'll move out right away!"

[Alien-Child]

"Perfect!" Speedy grinned, handing over the briefcase. "Before you go, I've also was informed that the Kukkus was also spotted at the Mystic Ruins... namely near the Freak's old workshop."


"You mean Tails? Maybe they were looking for revenge, like always?"


"When I'm around, definitely! However we all know that Freak has been relocated to Flicky's Island, and that shack of his is now in trashed, even in this timeline. I've checked, hoping I could have gotten his head. (Which reminds me, delay that hit on him... and perhaps that Acorn-B***) there are other things to worry about. Metal Scourge, give them the coordinates of the Kukku's latest base."


The robot buzzed before a CD slide down his arm, and he handed it to Fang.

[YolkaEd]

Taking the CD, Fang hummed. "...right... you want us to find out what the impostor has in mind? By all means, we can do that."

[Ninetalesuk]

Taking the case of money, he nodded. "We shall do what we can... anything else?"

[Alien-Child]

"Not for now, we'll keep in touch." He replied, drinking his liquor.

[YolkaEd]

"Right." Fang hummed, taking a swig from his drink as well. "...so, what's the plan of action once that impostor's out of the way? Gonna take a shot at your old man, or at Prower, perhaps?"
