Belle the Tinkerer (Return of Underground)

Belle is an infiltration/assassination robot created by Dr. Starline to infiltrate the restoration who betrayed him.

## Background

### Beginnings

After Dr. Starline heard the news of Robotnik's death he began formulating plans to keep his legacy alive. he formed the Zealots of Robotnik and they attempted to collect any of Robotnik "relics" or unused plans they could find. eventually Starline would learn of the Metal Virus. however, the Restoration had already gotten there hands on it and stored it away. not being deterred, he formed a plan.

He studied Metal Sonic's design documents and used them to created Belle with the intention of infiltrating the Restoration, obtaining the Metal Virus plans, and if possible assassinating the Council of Four. he also decided to give her a higher level of sentience so she could make on the fly decisions. however, Metal's design documents came from before he betrayed Robotnik. after she was built the doctor assessed the situation. Believing Robotnik was an innocent man trying to make things right who was murdered and the hands of Sonic and his siblings she complied and was fully dedicated to her cause.

### Infiltrating the Restoration

Her first mission was to infiltrate the Restoration to obtain knowledge of the Royal Family. She started this by going to one of Robotnik's abandoned badnik storage houses knowing full well the the Restoration would be looking for them. When she got there however, she found Sonic and Tails looking for files on the Eggnet. Thinking this was the best opportunity she came out of the shadows and revealed herself to the two. she explained that she was out "looking for her creator" when she got lost. Tails believed her story but Sonic was skeptical. She tried explaining she has no intention of attacking and wanted to help. Tails and Sonic debating on the subject and while they did belle connected herself into the computer, downloaded it's files, then activated a firewall causing the base to go on lockdown. Sonic and Tails fought off the Badniks and Belle connect to them and directed them to attack her. Not wanting Belle to be hurt Tails swooped in and stopped them. Sonic got the remaining badnik's attention and dashed to the door causing them to shot it down. The three of them escaped the base and regrouped.

Sonic was a bit annoyed at their lack of success in obtaining the E-series schematics when belle chimed in and said that she "managed to download while Sonic and Tails where fighting". Tails was impressed, however Sonic was still suspicious. She offered to help them in whatever they where doing and long as she could go to the Restoration and ask them for help in finding her "creator". Tails told her about how they had to rebuild Omega after his fight with Silver Sonic and that he didn't know how to reconstruct Eggtech. Sonic however, was hesitant to allow her to go the the Restoration's base of operations pointing out how it might be a trap. Belle tried to convince him that She wasn't build by Robotnik and that she really only meant well. Sonic told her that if she really did mean well she would help repair Omega without trying anything. Belle agreed and the three of them took off in the Tornado back to Tails' Workshop.

There the three would met with Amy, Cream, Gemerl and Rouge and Tails and Belle got to work repairing Omega. while they worked Tails thanked belle for salvaging the mission and she didn't know how to respond at first. She was take back by his kindness, she was told Tails assisted in the death of Robotnik but he didn't seem the type to want to hurt him. She told him it was no problem and that she really only meant to help. later she asked him about Robotnik's death and if he had much to do with it. Tails told her that him didn't really have to much involvement other then helping Sonic find the courage to see out his siblings again. She then asked why they killed him and Tails responded that it was apart of a prophecy and maybe if there was some other way they could have taken him out they would have taken it. Belle wasn't sure what to make of this but remembering Starline's words she "snapped herself back to reality" and continued working on Omega.

the two would finish and Omega and he would be eager to test his new abilities. he and gemerl walked outside for combat lessons. tails and belle remained inside as belle would clean up the workspace. although, feeling it wasn't right to blame tails for robotnik's death she then began to wonder what she would do if tails interfered with her mission. Tails could tell something was on her mind but she brushed it off, and respecting this Tails continued cleaning. as belle cleaned she noticed a potted plant that seemed to be sentient. She asked and Tails told her it was Comet and that she was the last remnant of her kind and that he took it upon himself to care for her. Belle was surprised with just how caring Tails seemed to be which had her worry about her job even more. But she knew she still had to take out the Royal Family and tried to come up with a way to get tails removed from the situation.

A day later Sonic came back and was impressed with Belle's work. He and Tails then took her to the Restoration base in Mobotropolis. There they found Amy and Sally and they made there introductions. Belle told them her cover story and they knew they had to help. but in the meantime Belle figured she could do some damage and "volunteered to assist" the restoration by working in their tool shop. She then met their lead engineer and he got her to work. However, she purposely messed up her jobs in an attempt to slow down the Restoration's progress. And when Shaggy called her out for it she blamed it on her being "clumsy" and fained being apologetic. This would however could to a halt after Tangle rushed and unintentionally dropped a heavy machine. Shaggy then told Belle and Tangle to get out of the workshop and the to left. they then got acquainted with one another and overheard a mission to a Robotnik Base that had strange readings and weather singles coming from it. Belle however knew exactly what they where talking about do to the Zealots finding it first and repurposing it into there own. worried about there discovery Belle walked of on her own for a minute so she could contact Starline to warn him. Starline however was more then ready for them and wanted belle to "assist" the mission in there efforts.
