One man’s trash is another’s treasure.
Badniks parts, much like hydrogen and stupidity, are some of the most common things in existence. They litter landfills and junkyards, pollute rivers and forests, pile up high and are carefully stacked even higher. Some are melted down while most are simply tossed out to rot, and one mild-mannered automaton takes great pleasure whenever he finds some.
Well, perhaps not him specifically, more so his companion. The Eggman Robot, cladded in a beige vest, stared down every nook and cranny of his surroundings, moving about silently as a mouse, and had the meekness of one as well. He was looking for something, something old that nobody wanted and not a soul would miss, and his friend wants some junk of a more robotic variety.
And who was he to deny such a request? There was not a rude component in his body. His optics glanced and darted around, over the river, through the alleys of the town, until what he was searching for was at last found; A big, bulky pile of busted bot parts. It was perfect for his companion, and he quickly opened his plating to let her come out and chow down.
It was a Violet Wisp! One that served as the Badniks primary power source, and one that Byte (The Badniks name) took great strides to keep happy and content. She swiftly floated out of the robots chest cavity and raced over to the Badnik parts, dismantling them to satiate her endless hunger that was brought about by Eggman’s operation on her homeworld.
In but a few short minutes, the junk was gone like it had never been there to start with. As soon as the Wisp got her fix she flew back into Byte and went back to her role as a battery. Once the meal was finished Byte went back to his normal routine, chatting with Kilo (Byte’s companion’s name) as they talked about nothing important, with Byte choosing to sit down on a bench in the open to rest his joints.
