Chapter 2: Lake Sliver
Bokkun was on the lookout for any and all robots; luckily Eggman attacked Sonic so often he just needed to find Sonic or one of his friends and since he knew where everyone lived, his job was easy. He was flying over Cream's and saw a small cluster of people. He just loved his luck.
And there was an evergreen tree in the yard, he could hide fairly easily. From what he saw it was a small party to celebrate Cream's birthday. The only guests were Sonic, Tails, Amy and the Chaotix. That made up a grand total of six party guests.
Sonic asked everyone if they heard a stomping sound, and Bokkun wanted to shout out that he heard it, but he had more sense. The pounding stopped for a second, than there was a big crash as a giant, golden Egg-Pawn with cannons for arms, appeared to crash Cream's party. This gave Bokkun all the motivation he needed to fight the robot.
He flow at an extreme speed, bashing to the giant robot's chest, his overall force added to his jetpack's constant force, he managed to make the giant robot fall over.
"What was that?" Amy asked her voice worried. Before anyone could go check on the robot and find out, said robot exploded. The heroes ran back, trying to get away from the flames. Then Cream noticed something.
"Is that someone in the fire?"
"It is!" Sonic was about to rush in, when Bokkun walked out of the flames, and dusted himself off.
"Bokkun?" Tails said anger clear in his voice, Bokkun didn't know why, sure he had pulled a prank or two on him, but what had he honestly done? Nothing.
"That's my name don't ware it out." Bokkun blinked his eyes, realising how old that line was. "I'm sorry, that was bad." Bokkun then went on to laugh in his normal annoying fashion. Bokkun looked around, and backed up a bit.
Sonic was giving him a death glare, Tails appeared to be defending Cream, Amy had her hammer ready, Charmy was also giving Bokkun the death eye, Espio had a shuriken ready to be thrown and Vector was cracking his knuckles. Cream, on the other hand looked slightly happy to see him, and that made Bokkun happy. Bokkun finally decided to use logic to win this fight.
"So why so mad?"
"Because your one of Eggman's robot!" Sonic said rage in his voice.
"I can beat that. If I was still on Eggman's side, why would I destroy his robot?" Bokkun really hoped that worked.
"Eggman is a genius. This is probably some ploy." Espio reasoned. Bokkun didn't have a counter for that. Then felt a rain drop hit his left horn. Then it broke out in a full force storm, which extinguished the flames around the destroyed robots.
"Well that made my life easier." Bokkun said as he threw the white ball with the blue button, all the parts of the robots were covered in a blue light then started floating, then the light expanded and turned into a giant bubble. Then it popped and all the parts were gone. Then the white ball flew out of nowhere back to Bokkun who caught it.
"That's was the weirdest teleportation method I've ever seen." Bokkun shook his head. Bokkun looked around again, some were surprized, others were still in a fighting stance.
"So Bokkun, have you got a TV message for us?" Sonic asked as he scratched his head.
"No." Bokkun shook his head. Then as no one else seemed to want to stop him anymore, he started walking away, as his jetpack didn't work in rain. He got twenty steps away from Cream's garden, before Cream called out to him. She flew over to him, no one fallowed her, she only went to him to give him a piece of cake.
"Mr. Bokkun, where have you been? No one's see you for a year."
"Oh, I'll tell you later." Bokkun really didn't want to tell Cream the story of why Eggman threw him away. Not ever.
"But…thanks for the cake!" He smiled happily, if not a little nervously.
"You're welcome!" Cream smiled warmly. Bokkun took a bite of the cake, it was chocolate.
"Well see you later." With that Bokkun span on his heel and walked off. He had to catch two cabs, but he somehow managed to get to Lake Sliver. But Metal was nowhere to be found, Bokkun decided to use this time to look at the beauty of the lake, they called it Lake Sliver for how light bounced from of its calm water surface. The ground around the lake was grassless. The place was truly beautiful.
"Well that's boring!" Bokkun said as he flew into the sky and did many loop-de-loops.
"I really hope Metal gets here quick or I'm going to lose it." Which left the question, where was Metal?
Metal had fallowed the closest signal and this lead him to the GUN base in Station Square. Problem, there was no way in hell GUN was going to happily hand over a chaos emerald to Metal Sonic. What could he do? Break into the place!
"I really hope Shadow isn't here, or I'm mostly likely dead." He shook his head; he really didn't need to run into Shadow today.
As he broke down doors, he could hear an alarm go off constantly shouting "Security Preach!" Many people shot at him, but the bullets barely dented him. He didn't even hurt them in any way, shape or form.
He fallowed where the chaos emerald locater wanted him to go till he found a giant volt door, he tried punching the door, but it wouldn't budge, he tried again and again but nothing. He looked around and saw an electric door lock, that needed a card. He had to think about it in his head, should he break it and hope it made the door open, or should he go through the trouble of finding who ever had the key card. He didn't need five seconds.
He forced his right fist into the electric lock, tearing the electronics apart. Luckily for him the door slowly hinged back. After five minutes of waiting the door was open and Metal could see his prize.
The clear white chaos emerald. He ran to it, grabbed it with the simple intention of leaving. But it wasn't that simple. Shadow jumped out of nowhere and stopped him from going anywhere. At this moment Metal got serious, if Shadow was here, he was in trouble.
Then another Shadow jumped out of nowhere. If Metal had a mouth, it would be hanging open right now.
"What?" Metal said, somehow confusion leaking into his voice. One of the Shadow's held out his hand, palm facing Metal. A small circle opened on Shadow's hand, and he fired energy beam at Metal. Metal dodged the beam and stared at the Shadow that fired it.
Then it licked. Shadow Androids, GUN must have gotten hold of some and reprogramed them. With that in mind, he made an energy ball and fired it from his chest; blasting one of the two Shadow's head's off, only problem with this was that he got very tired, he would have to power down later.
The second android was about to punch Metal in the face, when he grabbed it fist and threw it behind him. He then simply ran out of the volt, he didn't care that the Shadow android was still in one piece. He didn't even care that the android was firing at him.
Metal finally got out of the GUN base. And thought of all the ways he could get away. He cursed himself for not thinking this through. He flew a couple of feet off the ground, and moved at near sonic speed. Till he came to the namesake of the whole town, the train station. He walked in, walked to the ticked counter, and asked calmly for a ticket to 'Sliver Lake' The teenaged fox behind the counter looked a little worried about Metal but decided to do his job.
"That will be ten dollars ninety five." Metal grabbed the teen's shirt. He made sure that he was staring the teen in the eyes, and by doing this made sure that the teen was staring into his own lifeless black eyes.
"Give. Me. The. Ticket!" He made sure that the teen heard every word he said.
"Yes sir." The teen's voice sounded like it was breaking. He pressed a button and the ticket popped out, and the teen shakily passed it to Metal.
"Thank you kind sir!" He nodded his head at the teen and continued to the train. He got onto the train, and was lucky that there was no one at all in the train. As he was alone and it was an hour long train ride, he decided to bring something up to himself that would have him thinking for hours.
Should he even try to get all seven emeralds, or should he just collect enough so Sonic couldn't go super if they fought. Then again, as he was a copy of Sonic, should he himself be able to transform? He couldn't think of any reason as to why he should or shouldn't be able to.
Then there was the much more important question, could he even beat Sonic? Sure they were even, but if Sonic had help would Metal be beaten again, like always? Or could he do the impossible and beat Sonic?
Metal wanted to smile to himself; he was going to give it a fighting chance.
And finally the train stopped, and Metal got up and walked out. He always loved the area around Lake Sliver, beautiful blue grass everywhere, a couple of evergreens trees, all of this surrounding a giant lake that shined on a full moon. Even when he was a heartless killing machine, he couldn't destroy any part of this place.
The only thing bringing this place down was the fuming robot parts thrown on the ground, Metal was at least thankful enough to know Bokkun had done his job without fail, and Eggman always said he was a weak robot.
Metal walked slowly to the destroyed robot remains.
"Bokkun! I need your help over here!" Bokkun flew over, and surprized Metal by tackled him in a hug.
"Metal! I thought you were never coming back!" Metal couldn't feel them, but saw that Bokkun was crying greatly. Metal hugged back, if only because he wanted Bokkun to stop crying.
"Bokkun, what's wrong?" Then Metal realised something, he actually cared about why Bokkun was crying.
What's happening to me? Metal thought to himself, worry infecting his thoughts.
"I was worried that you were going to abandon me."
"Bokkun look at me." Bokkun did what he was told and stared into Metal's black and red eyes.
"I would never abandon you, or anyone I cared about for that matter." After that Bokkun let go of Metal and the two then went onto do what Metal had planned.
They were going to make a third robot, the two based the new robot on Knuckles and Metal, as in it had body parts similar to Metal, only making his hands looking like boxing gloves but only on the part of the fist that would hit people. They also gave him six dreadlocks, not unlike Knuckles. After testing his body out, the two decided that he had enough power.
Then the most important part, the white emerald.
"Metal, don't we need a lighting storm for this to work?" Bokkun joked. Metal stared blankly at him.
"Why would we need a storm?" Metal asked, clearly not getting the joke
"Frankenstein? You haven't seen that movie?"
"I have never seen a movie before in my time on this planet."
Bokkun's mouth hung open in shock.
"We're going to have to do something about that." Bokkun shook his head.
Metal gave this no mind, as he went back to opening the robots chest, and placing the emerald in, it acted as a heart for the new robot.
And with the emerald in place, parts of the robots body glowed white, making it look like a golden coloured metal Knuckles, with padded fist instead of spikes and very Shadow streaks on his legs and arms. He also had the same crest as Knuckles, glowing white like the streaks. Finally his eyes were very much like Metal's only instead of red, this robot had white Irises.
"Who…are…you?" The new robot rasped out.
"I'm Metal Sonic, but you can call me Metal, this is my friend Bokkun. And you are…what can we call you?"
"I know!" Bokkun shouted happily. "If he's the power type of our team, then let's call him Pokkun."
"I know, how about Metal Knuckles?" Metal said, still thinking about it. His thoughts were stopped when he was punched by the unnamed robot. Metal went flying and landed in the lake. The robot stared at Bokkun.
"Call me Wrath!" the robot, now known as Wrath, pulled his fist back to punch.
"This isn't good." Bokkun said as he got ready to defend himself.
So yeah. Anyways, three reviews in two days? Thanks!
