Chapter 4
Beginning The Procedure
It had been almost a week since Uncle Chuck and Dr Quack had talked about recreating the roboticizer. Uncle Chuck had been resistant at first, but he then agreed, because he wanted to help his nephew as much as he could. Uncle Chuck had just finished putting the final touches to the roboticizer which was the neuro-overrider system. Uncle Chuck sighed in satisfaction.
"Now, I can tell Dr Quack it is finished," he said as he headed for the hospital.

In the hospital, Dr Quack was watching Bernadette and Jules Hedgehog visit their son. Bernadette stared at Sonic's lifeless body and cried into Jules' robotic shoulder. He put a hand on her back and rubbed it. They hated seeing their son like this, especially in their most time of need. Jules put his hand on Sonic's non-moving hand and stroked it.
Dr Quack sighed and turned around, upset because he couldn't do anything for the teenager at the moment, that is until he saw Uncle Chuck down the hall. The old hedgehog stopped walking in front of Dr Quack and smiled at him, slightly.
"I've finished the roboticizer," Uncle Chuck told Dr Quack.
"Great! Does it have a neuro-overrider system?" Dr Quack asked.
"Yes, it does. But I'm still not too sure about this idea," he told Dr Quack.
Dr Quack sighed and looked back into the room with Sonic inside.
"I know, but it's the only chance we have," Dr Quack told Uncle Chuck. "I'll get some nurses to help me get Sonic ready while you bring the roboticizer over."
Uncle Chuck nodded and walked through the way he came back to Freedom HQ where the roboticizer was.

Robotnik looked at the screen in front of him and laughed. There was still no sign of Sonic and it had almost been a week since he last attacked. He looked over at Lien-Da and smiled.
"Lien-Da," he said, almost sweetly.
"Yes, Sir," Lien-Da replied.
"There has still been no sign of Sonic all week, so I can assume he's either dead, which is less likely, or in a coma like his D'Coolette friend," Robotnik told her.
Lien-Da smiled herself and nodded. she knew that if the hedgehog was in a coma, he wouldn't wake until he was fully healed, which could be years from now.
"So, you want me to send some of the robots to attack the city again?" she asked.
Robotnik clasped his hands together and grinned.
"Yes. Without Sonic, the Freedom Fighters will be helpless," he said.

Sonic was inside the roboticizer, but it looked like he was inside a suspended animation chamber, because there was water in the tube. Sonic was floating in the water with wires attached to his body for the full effect of the neuro-overrider system. Dr Quack and Uncle Chuck were standing beside the control panel. Dr Quack nodded at Uncle Chuck, but he was hesitant.
"Sir Charles, we need to do this," Dr Quack reminded him. "If he's roboticized he will be an even match for Sally."
"Alright, but I still don't like this idea," Uncle Chuck said and pushed the button.
An electric current went through the water and affected Sonic's body. His fur transformed into metal and his wrists got metal boxes on them for communicators. His arms became muscular along with other parts of his body. His ears grew longer, his gloves disappeared and his skin changed to grey. The sides of his muzzle had bolts on them. His legs became black coloured, his shoes looked more robotic with the white stripe hovering above the red shoes. He had armour on his chest and shoulders. His quills became more metallic and stayed blue. The box communicators on his wrist were yellow and his hands were grey. His blood was changed to oil and his brain transformed into a computer chip with his usual self in it. After he was fully roboticized a red light was flickering in the room. Uncle Chuck became panicked and worried about his nephew.
"Shut It Down!" Dr Quack shouted, scared for the blue hedgehog inside the tube, himself.
Uncle Chuck pressed the emergency shutdown button and the light stopped flickering. The water drained from the chamber Sonic was inside and the tube opened. Sonic fell out and onto the floor. Dr Quack and Uncle Chuck gasped and ran over to Sonic's side.
"Sonic, are you okay?" Dr Quack asked.
"Sonny boy, answer me," Uncle Chuck said, worry in his voice as he hoped the emergency shutdown hadn't caused anything vital to his nephew, knowing that whatever had happened with the roboticizer had to do with full roboticizing its first victim with a neuro-overrider system.
I just put a drawn pic on the cover for now. I'll make a better one later. Tell me whatcha think of it.
