Part Two.

"Well, Well," said the sinister chubby face of Doctor Ivo Robotnik, AKA: Dr. Eggman. "If it isn't little Stryker Jr., I've been wondering when you will use that device I gave you."

The good doctor had arranged this 'house-call' on the other side of Angel Island for Kage, silently under the Echidnas' surveillance to not be noticed. Kage Stryker had set this to meet up with Ro-butt-nik along with some of his fellow mutineers.

"General Von Stryker has gotten soft. He choose to befriend with that Knuckle-Headed Echidna slime and forgotten the blight of his own people. We demand satisfaction. An Eye for an eye. The echidnas has forced us to live underground, we want feel the scorn we feel. We want them to follow our rules and laws, only then we can have eternal peace between us."

"Hmmm, a scorned race of people who want to equalize things by destroy and enslaving a civilization? PERFECT!" said Egg-butt out loud, "I have just the right things for you."

The evil goofy doctor then led the Dingo insurgents to his ship, which seemed to be modeled after a 'saw-fish.' On the inside of the ship, there row and rows of various kinds of weapons and ammunition.

"Take what you need, but take all you want!" said Eggman and the Dingoes went off like kids in a candy store. Only Kage and his most loyal subordinate stayed with the Dr. Robotnik.

"I want something… that can insure victory over the Echidnas." Stated Kage.

"Well," said Eggman, "The chemical weapons are over-"

"NOO!" commanded the Dingo, "I'm considering undergoing a transformation. To show that Dingoes are superior to echidnas."

"Ah huh."

"You know how some of the echidnas are partly cyborgs… even the Freedom Fighters have that cyborg Bunnie?"

"Ah huh…"

There was a moment of silence between the insane Overlander with a doctor's degree and the Dingo militant. The later then broke the slience.

"DANG IT! Make me a cyborg!"

"Well," pondered the scientist, "It would be a long arduous operation that would require-"

"Just partly Roboticize me!" snapped the Dingo,

"Wow… some one DEMANDING to be roboticized, that's a first."

"I must have power beyond that of any normal Mobian! When people see me, I want them to know I have power! I want them to know I can take their lives!"

Eggman started to feel nervous, "Are you SURE Stryker is getting soft? Sounds like he's rasing you right in his footsteps."
"The old man has diverted his way to a path that he hopes that can respect from others from being passive and understanding instead of the way that gains us power."

"Well, okay then, just follow me this way," Eggman then led the Dingoes to his secret room, thinking to himself, This guy is seriously messed up!

General Stryker was at a vid-phone station, talking to a certain red echidna in a far way kingdom.

"… and that's what happened, Knuckles. My son will be turned in tomorrow."

"That's… that's…" the echidna was having trouble expressing his feelings over the grave news, "… that's really going to set you guys back. The Echidna Elders can be a real pain at times."

"Don't be afraid to express you're outrage." Said Stryker sternly, "I've been thinking about what my father said to me so long ago. I was too young to understand back then, The Dingoes need to get on with their lives. We're fighting something that happened hundreds of years ago. We wasted generations over a dispute that can never be resolved. And now, we're paying the price for it, we have become less civilized then the Overlanders."

"HEY!" said a little girl in the background.

Knuckles turned to her and said, "He didn't mean that personally, Hope."

"Any news about the blue hedgehog?" ask Stryker.

"Still the same: Nothing." Answered the echidna "The princess is still taking it pretty hard."

"There is till hope, he maybe be alive. His body STILL hasn't been found."

"I don't think Sally will take that last part has good news."

"It is officially 2300 hours, I've stayed passed lights out and Taps, time for me sign off and enage my duties as tonight's night watchman."

"Good Night to you too." Was the echidna's reply before the screen went blank.

The Dingo Commander then contemplated on what he just said as well as he entire life. Though he now understands what his dear, departed father said to him long ago, but now he felt he betray the way of his ancestors. Though the Dingoes are advance in Military tactics and weaponry, they do have standard tradition of pride. But Stryker knew that things have to change over time in order to exist. But what he didn't he know was the changes that were soon to come.

Kage was standing on a steel platform that was surrounded by various lasers from above, to the left, and to the right. Not too far off, Robotnik and the subordinate stood, right next to the control console for the contraption.

"You might experience a few side effects," warned Robotnik, "Lost of free will, lack of aging, lost of the emotions of love and caring, as well as various other things. You do know about deal, right?"

"The Dingoes will work behalf of your Empire on Angel Island." Said Kage grimly, "As long as the ends justified the means: the Dingoes will do anything to take down those echidnas."

"Good for you, I always believe this world could be a better place if there were more people like you. Let's began, shall we?" Said Robotnik with a treacherous smile, SUCKER!

The good doctor then pulled the toggled that activated the machine, which started to purr as it started, but that grew into a roar shortly after. The lasers began to spark as bolts of electric jump from on gunpoint to another, forming a web of lighting around the Dingo Militant. The platform that Kage stood on fired a beam of light that engulfed his body entirely. The roar of the became louder, and louder, and louder. This continued on for at least a minute, when Kage's subordinate gotten worried.

"Hasn't he been in there long enough?"

"It isn't done till it is done." Was the doctor's answer.

"You mean you're fully roboticizing him?!?" The solider asked in outrage

"Yes, and there is nothing you can do to stop me." Replied Eggman smugly. But this was short lived as the Dingo pulled out a laser gun and aimed it at Robotnik's face. As a reaction to this made the doctor's long mustache to droop. But the solider turn his gun towards the computer panel, and fired upon it.

The roar of the machine weakened down to a shrill 'whimper.' The brunt air in the machine made a thick could of smoke, concealing Kage's body. He then began to talk, a sign that he was not completely roboticized.

"So, you were trying to double cross me, Doctor. I expected as much. But I will not hold it against you, as I am pleased with the results."
The Dingo then stepped out of his machine. The chubby Overlander and the subordinate Dingo gazed with awe at Kage's new form. The Dingo's right face was now cybernetic, as the same as the entire left-side of his body from the neck down. Both his hands were now taken on the appearance and function of Power Gauntlets, a weapon that Kage's father have in his position. The Eggman symbol was branded over where Kage's heart was suppose to be, almost adjacent to the 'Stryker' name tag. He then said in a partly computerized voice.

"I believe it time for us to take a hold of the winds of change."

Stryker was doing his duties as watchman, checking to see his soldiers were at either at their posts or in the dormitories. He was now checking on the last dormitory tent, the one where his son used to belong too.

All were accounted for by Stryker's examination. Every bed had a sleeping Dingo in it. But as the General was leaving the tent, he took notice at a weird sight. A Dingo partly covered in a blanket. The strange part that instead fo a body, there was a pillow. Stryker then pulled off the blanket, revealing that the Dingo in the bed is just a robotic head with a pillow body. A decoy. The sight made the general growl with great anger. Stryker then pulled off the blankets of the other beds, and all had the same thing. Everyone Dingo in the tent, with the exception of General Stryker, were not there. Stryker then had a revelation to what could be the cause of this.

"Kage!" And then the General then ran out of the tent, hoping that he was wrong.

Kage stood in front of his newly re formed army. All of the Dingoes were now in new uniforms, which included new sword gauntlets that housed. The small army stood to attention to their new General, who stood over them on a railing.

"My fellow Dingoes!" shouted the cyborg, "We have spent far too long under the Echidnas. Are they not diggers of dirt and bugs? Aren't we are hunters that prey on big game? We should be the ones ruling over them. But do to my father's softness; the Echidnas have walked all over us. But as now, we have the means to conquer them like we did so long ago.
"As your leader, I hereby abandon my name 'Stryker' as that old man has turned that name, a name that was carried down by the ancient Dingo Chieftain of long ago, into a name that is weak and soft. I will now and forever go by the name 'General Kage!' And from here on end, the Dingoes will TAKE OVER TO WHAT THE ECHIDNAS HAVE!"

Roar of applause erupted from the crowd below. Eggman walked over to Kage and whispered to him,

"Umm, about 'abandoning the name 'Stryker' Thing.' Well… in you're current state, you can't change your uniform now. This means that you can't take off that name tag."

"Doesn't matter," said the cyborg Dingo, "I'll carrying the name for my ancestors, something that my father long forgotten."

000

General Stryker raced over to the brig tent where his son is supposed to be. As he came to it, the two soldiers that were standing guard saluted to him. They then gave Stryker an updated report.

"General Stryker Sir! Lt. Kage Stryker is still in his tent, Sir!"

"So far, he hasn't made a fuss at all, Sir!"

"Is that so?" asked the general with great skepticism.
"Yes, Sir," said the two in unison.

"And who order you to tell me that lie?"

"Why, Lt. Stryker, of course, sir." Said one guard unintentionally, falling for the General's clever trick.

After proving their false loyalty, Stryker grabbed the guards by their heads and slammed them against each other, knocking them out cold. The General then enter the tent, finding it completely vacant. He then noticed on the bed, a strange looking device in shape of a man with a long moustache on the cot.

Clenching his fist in rage, General Stryker raised his hand up to the sky and shouted, hoping that that the heavens would bring a dreaded cruse onto the name he spoke, "KAGE!!!!"
