When he'd seen large mushrooms from Robotnik's Egg Carrier, Rampage was admittedly skeptical it wasn't just some optical illusion. But now that he was here, guiding his hovercraft through TOWERING mushroom trees he was shocked. It was going to be fun seeing these things burn.
"Okay Disco Ball, time to light this place up!" Rampage shouted to the hovering Pyro-Bot flying just off Rampage's starboard wing. With a series of beeps and whistles, the Pyro-bot zoomed off, dropping down to the forest floor.
Cylindrical hatches on the top of the machine popped open firing phosphorus mortars out as it zipped along. The resulting explosions sent flames racing across the ground old-growth plants. The Pyro-bot then began to unleash its devastating flamethrower on the helpless foliage.
Wild animals ran in the face of the raging forest fire. Thick black smoke rose up high into the sky, like an ominous beacon that could be seen from across the island and far out to sea.
"Hah, hah, Keep it up Disco Ball. This ought to get anyone's attention that might be stupid enough to try and stop us."
"Hey Buddy!" Called out a voice from the sky. Whip blurred into the ground from what looked like quite a bit of feet into the air and planted his face into the ground. After quite a few swears, he pulled himself out and faced the psychopath.
"You're messing up these trees. Mind explaining who the heck you think you are?"
Rampage was just starting to enjoy his oversized bonfire when he heard someone shouting, causing his laid back ears to shoot up in surprise. Spinning his hovercraft around to face the speaker, Rampage stared in bewildered disbelief as a strange orange bunny seemed to fall out of the sky and face plant himself into the ground. He watched with some bemusement as the rabbit picked himself off the ground and began swearing; presumably at his own misfortune.
Finally when the rabbit addressed him once more Rampage shook his head in dismay. "I'm trying to have a good time, is that a problem? Now beat it kid, you're not the one I'm waiting for anyway." And with that, Rampage turned his hovercraft and began to follow after his Pyro-bot which was quite literally blazing the trail ahead. Of course, Rampage, while high enough off the ground for most people to jump to him, wasn't flying above the tops of the mushrooms in case someone decided to press the issue a bit more.
"Exactly who are you waiting for anyways?" Whip asked, not taking a step. He honestly didn't really care about what the guy was doing, but he knew this guy was going to start something. As long as this island had the treasures he believed they did, he didn't need a war breaking out to impede him. That, and the smoke was starting to bug him. Not to mention all the beautiful food going to waste with the man's reckless burning.
"Maybe I can take a message for you."
That made Rampage's real eyebrow shoot up. He thought for sure this character was going to try some heroic stunt that would lead to him slapping him down so hard for picking a fight many light years out of his league; but this??
Rampage spun the hovercraft back around. "What is this twenty questions? I've got better things to do, and bigger fish to fr than some floppy-ears idiot. And with that, Rampage thumbed the trigger of his hovercraft's cannon. In a heart-beat a searing energy pulse was screaming straight for the hapless, rabbit.
Whip reacted in an instant and duck-rolled out of the path of the energy. He made sure to land on his knees before replying, "Ouch, and here I'm just trying to make conversation!"
Whip picked himself off of the floor and dusted off his shoulders.
"I think someone needs to teach you some manners!"
"Hah! Too bad you're not the one who can." Without giving the rabbit much further warning, he fired again.
Whip responded by covering his face with his enormous ears, taking the blast full on. Although he stayed standing, his body already twitched and his knees buckled a little bit. His ears were visibly damaged, and he retracted them quickly.
"...Augh." He moaned. Even though he braced himself, the attack still hurt him pretty badly.
"Well,.... I can see there's no talking to yo-" Whip cut himself off mid-sentence and lunged at the cyborg, hoping to at least catch him off-guard.
Unfortunately, all Whip would do is splatter himself against the hovercraft's windscreen. This, unlike the usual open-cockpit craft Robotnik flies around in is fully enclosed and looks more like a modified Swat-Bot hovercraft.
"HAH, HAH, HAH!!! What do you plan to do to me, punk? Scratch my ship's paint job with those puny things?
[Note, I'm basing his hovercraft on the ones seen in the SatAM series.]
Whip peeled his body off of the windshield and shook his head, somehow keeping his ground on the rounded surface.
"You must use a great window cleaner. After I'm done kicking your butt, you should tell me which one you use." Whip suggested, cockily ignoring the fact that he was a living fly-on-a-windshield seconds ago. He started pounding o the protection with his foot, using all his strength in an attempt to break through.
