## Background

### Meeting Sonic and Tails

After Mr. Tinker went missing, and Belle began a search for him. She started by looking in one of Eggman's abandoned badnik storage house near Windmill Village. When she got there however, she found Sonic and Tails looking for something. Hearing stories of their heroism she wanted to ask them to help, but knew they were probably busy and she was too shy to confront them. so she followed them in the shadows and hid in some unused Badnik parts. She watched as Tails tried to hack into the computer's systems until she was discovered by Sonic. Sonic asked who she was and she told them her name. Tails looked her over and told her her craftsmanship was impressive and he then asked who did it. worrying the two wouldn't approve she said her "creator".

However Tails' failed to hold back the firewall and the alarms went off, activating the badniks. Sonic told Belle to stay back and he and Tails began fighting off the badniks. However it wasn't long before they were overrun so Tails managed to trick the badniks into breaking down the door and the three escaped. not knowing what to do now, Sonic asked her to join them and knowing she had no other options accepted the offer. Just then Tails would be contacted by Rouge and the three set off to White Park to meet up with the others. When they made it Belle was introduced to them and joined Sonic and Amy to Clutch's penthouse where they were briefed on the situation with the chao and Sonic knew they had to do something. wanting to pick up, Belle showed them her tools and said she could help get them out.

Sonic then took off to find Rouge and Tails as Belle began tinkering with the locks. Just then Clutch woke back up and set his badnik guards on the team. Belle panicked, but saw Gemerl and Cream defending her and knew what she had to do. she then managed to open all the locks and set the chao free. The chao would then help defeat the badniks. After the fight was over Tails and Rouge barraged in and warned the team of an avalanche heading for the chateau. Belle, along with the others ran downstairs and warned the civilians to evacuate. However Dr. Starline would intrude on Them and stop the heroes from escaping. They'd fight him until he managed to grab onto tails. However, Tails had an idea. right before Starline could run away with him he pulled Belle's tails and she kicked forward hitting Starline, lowering his guard. The team then managed to escape.

After they reconvened with the others they went back to Tails' Workshop. Belle helped Tails in putting Omega back together. After he was rebuilt Tails asked her if she wanted to be his assistance and finally feeling like she had a propose and accepted the offer. Later, as Belle and Tails were cleaning up, Tails began to get curious about how she was able to read eggman schematics. being hesitant to tell him she said eggman didn't create her and Tails respected her answer.

### Tower Take-down

The next day Tails and Sonic were reminded of the Restoration's goal of looking for displaced citizens for the Metal Virus and believed they could help in looking for Belle's creator. so the 3 set off to Restoration HQ. When they arrived they asked Jewel if the Restoration needed help with anything Belle could assist in while they looked. Jewel gave her a job in the engineering workshop and Lanolin escorted her there. When they arrived the Chief was happy to have new help. However Belle was very worried about making a good impression that she started messing up. it got to a point where her kicking feature accidentally almost kicked over the support for a boat. However Tangle jumped in and stopped the accident. Seeing Belle was more trouble than she's worth he kicked her out of engineering. Tangle and Belle began to talk and heard a rumor of a new tower Eggman had constructed. Tangle took Belle and ran to the command room, but to her surprise Jewel, Sonic, Tails, and Amy were already talking about a mission to go there. Believing the tower might help her get more information offered to go on the mission. but Jewel decided not to and told the two of them they had other jobs to do.

not wanting the opportunity to waste Belle suggested they go to the tower in Secret. they proceeded to hot-wire an unused Extreme Gear and proceeded to the Tower. When the two arrived Belle looked at the damaged Eggpawns and began to worry. Tangle would help her evade detection until they breached the tower's command room. There Orbot and Cubot were warning Eggman of Sonic, Tails, and Amy's arrival. however Belle recognized Eggman's voice, but as she did she fell off the scaffolding. She fell in front of a small group of Eggpawns, but to her surprise, they didn't attack and passed by her. Belle was shocked by this however was cut off by Tangle grabbing her. she asked what was the big idea and Belle told her she realized she was designed similarly to the eggpawns. This made her believe she was a badnik and she understood if Tangle was going to destroy her. but Tangle told her Sonic and Tails vouched for and that she trusted her enough to continue on.

They then followed the two robots to a machine that was producing makeshift badniks. There, Tangle ambushed them and began asking questions about Sonic and the others. Belle would rework their communicator to find where sonic and co. where. However, they didn't know which of the multiple portals to use, so Tangle with some work managed to get it out of the two bots and was confident in going in. Belle questioned if it was a good idea and Tangle told her she knew what she was doing. while holding the robots still she ran into the portal, leaving Belle alone with Orbot and Cubot. Orbot got curious and asked her if she was a badnik and she still didn't want to believe it. However, a small part of her felt she was so she asked what Eggman was like and they responded exactly how she knew of Mr. Tinker to be. However, their conversation was interrupted by Eggman and he took notice of belle. He recognized her as a robot he built as Tinker and she asked Eggman why he was attacking Sonic and told him she knew it wasn't like how she knew Tinker to be. He responded by telling her about his tower and tried to convince her to come back to him.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing and threw the communicator in shock. However, before she broke down she noticed the portal was overheating. Orbot said that Tangle's tail being on both ends was overheating it and Tangle managed to get Sonic, Tails, and Amy out. Belle told them they needed to get out of the tower and they took hold of Sonic as he blasted out of the tower to the tornado. They escaped and made their way back to the restoration base. However, Tails noticed Belle was upset and asked her why. She said she learned the truth that Eggman did create her and she broke down. Tangle and the other began cheering her up and they had a safe ride home.
