Chapter 2: The Other Blue Metal

So we split up, whatever. We tried to keep each other informed along our separate ways, but it didn't end up like we'd wanted, and we started talking about whatever popped into our heads. I was just telling him about a new commercial for a T.V. show, when something zoomed past to my left. I looked, and there was nothing, so I kept talking about the commercial. A few minutes later, we had nothing to talk about, and the view of the towers carcass was the same at both sides, so we decided to regroup.

"Okay, who's meeting who where?" I asked trying to put up a rendezvous.

"Ummmmm….you meet me where we split up."

"Fine with me." We said before listening to silence again.

We met up with each other right as another explosion took place. But guess where the explosion was, just take a guess. From behind us? From in front of us? If you asked either of those questions, you're wrong. If you said "What's behind curtain number three/Under us?" then you were just correct! Yah, the explosion was from under us, and we freaked us out. Knuckles started spazzing while in the air, though he didn't really have a reason to since he could glide, but I still laughed on the inside. When we landed, it didn't really hurt, just metal stabbing me in the arm isn't the most comfortable pain I've experienced in my travels.

"Oh, my aching everywhere." I said groggily.

"Ow, I think I broke something."

"Speak for yourself." Just then, we saw someone. Not someone, but someTHING. "Hello, who are you?" I asked like we didn't just explode. No answer. "Uhh, can you say something?" Still no answer.

"Hey! He asked you some questions, so why aren't you answering them?" yelled Knuckles. Just then, the mysterious being sped right up to Knuckles, grabbed him, then through him straight into a window that had survived the buildings own explosion. Let's just say that it wasn't the prettiest sight in the world.

"KNUCKLES!" Then the being looked at me. And, of course, charged me. I dodged easily and landed a homing attack on the guys back, and I got sent back with my whole body hurting. "What the-"I said when the being turned around. It was robotic, long arms and legs, taller than me (but who isn't?), long curvy spines along its back, with eyes that are so close together that you would confuse him for being a robot from another country (you know which one I'm talking about).

"Hello, defunct experiment. Prepare for immediate termination."

"Okay, I'm no experiment, I'm natural born and blood, but thanks for saying my line for me." With that, I launched at the metal doppelganger, with an arm to swat me back to my previous position. "Wow, new body Metal?"

"Now I WILL destroy you! I'm not that scrap heap Metal Sonic, I'm the MORE advanced, MORE intelligent version of Metal Sonic! I am…Mecha Sonic!" This is the part where your jaws drop. Didn't expect him now did ya'? Anywho, I just stood there, unfazed.

"Wow, I didn't expect you for one second. Any matter, do you still blow up like Metal?" I know that angered him, so I kept it up. "Why do you think you're better? I mean you were defeated by Knuckles when you went into SUPER form, and he was normal! Look who won! And you barely stood up to me when we fought." That was just enough to set him off.

"THAT IS ENOUGH! TARGET: AQUIRED. PREPARING PLAN ALPHA."

"Plan ALPHA? Really? You're bringing Greece to a hedgehog fight?" Then the rockets went off. It was a simple barrage of missiles launching from every available inch of his body, but hey, why think negative you know? Well, I dodged that, but ALPHA wasn't the barrage; it was him going full Chuck Norris on me. But let's just say that he's no Chuck Norris, so him trying to take me down was like watching two first graders having their first ballet class and arguing the entire time.

"Just give up: you can't hit me; you can't dodge my attacks; why are you still fighting?"

"I…*bzzt*must..*bzzt*.win…" With that, he sent one last barrage of kicks my way. They hurt, but I gave him a punch that sent him flying in the opposite direction, spewing rings. I took the opportunity I was given and charged up my Light Speed Dash. When it was done, he started to get up after smacking a wall, so I did the Light Speed Dash right into him. The collision was followed by the sound of metal bursting apart at an alarming rate mixed with nails on a chalk board. In other words, not very ear-friendly. Sparks went flying in all directions; bursts of light showered the surrounding area in a greenish glow, and then it was over. I stood over the top half of what used to be Mecha Sonic…and the green Chaos Emerald. He was powered by a Chaos Emerald!

"Wow, I found a Chaos Emerald in a place I didn't suspect. Eh, whatever. Mecha, you fought bravely, but not strongly." With that last sentence, I picked up the emerald, kicked Mecha's top half into a wall (where it exploded), then went to find Knuckles.

Well, that's Ch.2, so how was it? Tell me either PM or review. Like always, please read, rate, and review. I need ideas for more chapters and more AWESOMENESS!

I've got more of the story planned out, with a twist you would'nt've suspected ;) I was partially influenced by a playthrough of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, the Knuckles final boss. I noticed that most everyone uses Metal Sonic, so used Mecha as a fresh face since no one uses him anymore.

To sum up, I've got plans, Mecha Sonic as a fresh face, Read Rate and Review, and etc. etc.

Thank You, Steel.
