Once Shadow was gone, Sonic looked down to at the motionless robian girl in his arms. Taking a good look, it was clear to see that she was nothing like any robian that he had ever seen before. Normally a robian is metallic and mechanical in appearance, yet with this girl here, she looked strangely normal; almost indistinguishable from normal mobians. The only thing giving it away that she was not normal mobian was that her skin which was a shiny metallic blue and that she has the eyes of robian (red pupils with black eye whites).
"So, Tails, what do you make of her?" Sonic asked while holding a deactivated Metaru by her arms, having the device Tails was using to see what going on here. He placed her on the some ruins about ten feet away so he could get a good view of her.
"I can not say, really. You should bring her back here so I do some further scan of her and see what I can find out before her systems reboot," Tail told him. This girl might be an Auto Automaton prototype that had survived being destroyed or maybe some new type of Infiltrator from Robotnik. Though thoughts of her being an Auto Automaton brought up some memories of Tails falling for the Auto Automaton replica of Fiona the Fox a few years back when he went on his first solo mission.
"Sure thing, I'll be back in soon then," Sonic told him and he turned off the device before zoomed off back to Freedom HQ with Metaru over his shoulder.

Not too long after Sonic had left the ruins, one of Robotnik's robot equipped with camera arrived at the scene and they began searching for any trace of Metal Sonic. His signal just vanished completely right before the sudden burst of Chaos Energy that his detector sensed.
'I know that burst of Chaos Energy and the disappearance of Metal Sonic's signal are connected since they had happened on after another,' Robotnik thought as he took control of the robot remotely and began searching through the rumble for anything that could be a clue to what exactly happened here.
As he searched through the lab, he found the remains of the machines that held Metal Sonic during his transformation and laughed at the crude design of it.
"Fools! It's no wonder this happened to them, though they did not even know how to properly harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds! They shouldn't even being touching them, let alone trying to use their power!" the large orange hair man laughed, poking at the remains of the lab workers.
'This has not happened before so studying the effect of the Chaos Energy draining the life energy out of people might proof to be interesting way to replace roboticization if I get working correctly. Though it's unlike that any result will be produced anytime soon,' Robotnik thought as he had the robot break off pieces of the various statue remains to examine later.
Other then gain samples of the petrified remains of the lab workers, things were not turning out as well in the search for what happened to Metal Sonic. From the log that he had record everything that Metal Sonic did since he wanted to ensure that he did not go rogue again, thus the need know what he was doing to see if there was anything that would suggest him moving away from his programming again or become mentally unstable. The last thing he saw on the log was that Metal Sonic was trying to break out a machine, the very machine that had the Chaos Emerald inside it, so it was safe to assume whatever drained the life energy of these people might have been showered Metal Sonic turning him into something else.
The question is just what was that he was turned into. There were no signs of wreckage from his body anywhere or is the resulting form of being doused with all that life energy and it seemed that someone else had gotten here first. His robot there detected the after effects of a small EMP burst caused from Chaos Energy, thus leading him to think that Shadow was here and knows what happened to his robotic double of Sonic.
Though he might have missed out on gathering the form that Metal Sonic was now in, he did have something to go on though it was strange just what it was exactly. It seemed that reprogramming he had done had become undone and Metal Sonic was once again to the mental paradox of thinking that he was the real sonic and robotic copy at the same time. Yet for the little information he had before the connection was cut, it seemed that whatever the life energy being pouring into him was seemly fixed this problem as jumbled mess of him thinking he was the real Sonic yet at the same time a robotic double was changing. He could telling what it was changing to but whatever it was, the orange hair doctor knew that the resulting being(since he has no idea what happened exactly to Metal Sonic) would search out his arch-rival.
