"Hey! Lemme' down you psychotic, soulless,… DISRESPECTFUL-"

"Pff… you're calling ME psychotic? HAHAHA."

Metal and Amy are having a rather, progressive… argument. Metal is trying to continue with the soul gem, but Amy is being a bit distractive.

"You now some children are born with a terrible constant noise ringing in their ears, what's even sadder is that a robot is suffering through that right now." Metal said sarcastically.

"Why you little- Errr…" Amy stopped talking. With a weird and slightly amused face. Metal was confused, what godsend stopped her from talking? He had to ask.

"What's with you?... why- I mean, HOW did you finally shut-up?"

"…your..er…YOUR…"

"My what? My WHAAAAAAT? TELL ME!"

"Your ear."

Metal didn't realize that his ear was twitching up and down uncontrollably. He quickly covered it with his hand, you could hear the ear tap his palm every so often. He blushed a bit.

"Yeah, it has a soft spot! Watz' it to YOU?"

"It's CUTE!"

"NO IT IS NOT!"

"You're BLUSHING!"

"WELL I CAN IF I WAN-" Metal was interrupted by incoming call from Robotnick.

"Metal Sonic, get ready because the Badnicks told me that Sonic was seen at the entrance of StarDust Speedway."

"That was ME. Your minions are idiots. And furthermore I- *p-tang* OW!" Amy was now THROWING ROCKS. At Metal.

"Well… then I guess you're going to be staying there for bit…"

"No, I can't stay with this girl! *p-tow* GODDAMMIT! "

"Get over it."

"She's throwing ROCKS that appear out of freaking no-where, at me!"

"GET OVER IT."

"FINE! But when dead birds start falling from the sky, I'm leaving. This place already looks like it's going through an apocalypse."

"Goodbye Metal Sonic." Robotnick said irritated.

"NO! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH IT!"

Robotnick hung up. Metal let out a little groan and tried to relax…*p-twaaaangggg* this time, the rock hit his soft ear, which is severely injured and un-reparable.

"A-AAh-aaahh" Metal was sprawled out on the pavement twitching madly. The pain was great, but not great enough to where pain shock would come into effect.

"Dad j-just had to program nerves in my s-system, didn't h-he?"….

*P-tang*

After Metal recovered from the rock bombardment, he chose a different seat to work on the soul gem. While he was sitting on a bench, carefully placing shards of amber through electricity conductors, his ear started to twitch again, this was a habit for him so he didn't really notice it. He also didn't notice Amy was right behind him.

"Whatcha' doin'?"

"GAHHH!" Metal jumped up and stuck the gem back in his chest pocket.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!"

"Do wut?"

"HOW DID YOU GET DOWN?"

"I dunno…?"

"OH my goooood, I need a break. I can't do this anymore…"

"Haha, you look cute when you're angry!"

"FFF- YOU! You are like the blonde chicks in the horror movies! YOU'RE A DITZ YET YOU STILL LIIIIIIIIIIVE!"

Amy giggled and gave him a hug. Not just a hug, an AMY hug.

"THIS IS CHILD ABUUUUUUSE!"

"You're a child?"

"Yes I'm a child! Can you not tell by my height and voice?"

"I thought robots don't age…"

"Well, Dad made me to where I would grow and- Wait what am I doiiing?"

"Huh?"

"OKAY back in ropes you go! i can't deal with- ENOUGH WITH THE ROCKS OKAY?"

"Awwwww…" Amy sighed in disappointment and dropped the rock in her hand.

Metal then tied Amy with the ropes and hung her once more on the light stand and proceeded back to the bench to work on the soul inside the gem…But realized that every time he wanted to work on the gem, weird stuff always happened. So he decided to stare at wall for the next hour. Then Sonic finally came to fight Metal. At least, he thought he was fighting him.

"WHAAAAAT?"

"Err… I have to race you. What's your deal?"

"RACE? RAAAACE?"

"…"

"No, this was NOT what dad told me dammit!"

"Yeah ok…"

"This better be a fair race."

"…You seem upset."

"No freaking duh ,I was beaten up by a six year old with rocks."

"…k…"

Sonic turned away, in a 'wtf' kind of expression. Sonic was ready to race, but Robotnick didn't appear. Metal decided to take another look at the gem to find a safe spot for it. Before he could however, Robotnick flew into view with a peculiar device connected to the star lifter. Metal didn't recognize it so he just shoved the gem back into his chest pocket before his dad saw. To be honest to himself, he thought this whole rinse-and-repeat process on working on the gem was getting too repetitive. It seemed Robotnick was getting distracted because he paused himself in mid-air and just began to scan his eyes around the ground. He ignored it and started up the device. Metal looked very afraid when the device started to spit out rainbow lasers. But he looked away when the race nearly began. Sonic started to do his super-peel out move, while Metal had to trust his hover speeds, because he knew he was going to break something on foot. The race began . Sonic bursted off with incredible speed while Metal was trying to gain enough speed for him to catch up.

"C'mon! you would think that a copy of me would have a chance in a race!" Sonic said mockingly.

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING BASTARD!" Metal replied. He was very angry.

"Jeez, got bit of a sour a mouth on'ya, eh?"

"I am sick and tired of people who think they could simply say what they want in such a disgustingly rude fashion! You people think you're so high and mighty, and think that you can control others just because were different!"

"Hmmm. Yet you live with one of those people."

"SHUT UP! Shut up shut up shut up!"

"You're a SLAVE. You are a meaningless piece of scrap metal. You are NOTHING." Sonic was trying to enrage him, hoping it would slow him down. Metal was shocked. He was trying to hold back his anger, but failed miserably. He let out a roar and pounced on Sonic and proceeded to punch him in his right breast trying to stop his heart. He wanted to kill him. He wanted him to suffer. Then everything turned tables when Robotnick was gaining on them with the laser. Sonic saw an opportunity and kicked Metal fiercely, shot back up and sped off. Metal was crawling and gasping for air because he was kicked in his respiratory region, the direct core. He saw Sonic race to the opening of where the wall was and gained part of his breath back and chased after him. It didn't matter anyway since Sonic already closed the wall. When he reached the wall, he started to cut his pointed fingers through it to try to make an opening. It was no use because Robotnick was only three yards away. He fell to his knees in defeat. When Robotnick ran him over with the laser, he was electrocuted and paralyzed.

Sonic released Amy and carried her off of LittlePlanet while Robotnick was walking back to the StarLifter, with Metal struggling to catch up with him in the rain.

"D-dad…please I-I can barely w-alk.."

Robotnick ignored him. Metal ran to him when he could and grabbed Robotnicks sleeve.

"Dad! D-don't leave me! Please, I'm hurting! Dad-"

"Enough."

"But da-"

"Don't call me that you pathetic lab rat."

"Da-" Metal was interrupted when Robotnick had slapped him across the face knocking him to the ground,

"I said don't call me that. And stop following me, you don't deserve a home."

"Y-you promised!" Metal started to cry heavily.

"I promise a lot of things little rat." Robotnick then walked away leaving Metal in the rain. Metal sat there, processing what just happened. He covered his face and cried very hard. He waited for Robotnick to come back to take him home

He never did.
