I know it took so long for me to update. Just be patient okay? I managed to get this up before school started though. It's kind of short, but it is important in the story line. Especially the last thing that is at the end…

Amy stared at Metal's now lifeless body is disbelief.

How did this happen? She thought.

Flashback.

"AMY!" yelled Metal, and Amy closed her eyes and waited. Instead of feeling immense pain, she heard a sound of crunching metal.

She opened her eyes to see that Metal had gotten in the way of the axe, and since it was made of diamond, it had run him through.

"Metal! No! Speak to me!" cried Amy.

"Amy…I…" Metal was about to speak, but then the robot ripped the axe out of his system, and he fell to the ground.

"Metal saved my life…I…" Amy stopped, she couldn't say anymore. She broke down in tears.

"Amy…don't cry." Said Cream, comforting Amy.

"But…I could've done something to stop it. I should've been more alert. Then this would never had happened." She sobbed.

"Well, the past is the past Amy, all we can do is move on." Said Sonic. "Don't do what Shadow did when he lost his love."

"Faker…watch it." Growled Shadow, giving Sonic a death glare.

"Hey, you only have yourself to blame Shads." Grinned Sonic. "When your girlfriend died, you went all like, I'M GONNA DESTROY THE PLANET AND EVERYONE ON IT!"

"That's NOT how it went Sonic!" yelled Shadow angrily. "I believed she told me to get revenge on the people that killed her!"

"Suuuure you did." Said Sonic mockingly.

While the two of them were fighting verbally, Cream was comforting Amy, and Tails was checking Metal to see if he could repair him, contrary to what he said.

"Don't worry Amy." Said Cream. "I'm sure Tails will be able to fix Metal."

"But…Metal said his cpu was destroyed. His emergency backups were the only thing keeping his memory intact." Sobbed Amy.

"He might've been wrong. Is that true Tails?" said Cream, looking up at Tails who was tinkering with Metal's body.

"Man, Amy. Metal's cpu is entirely smashed. Even if I fixed him, he wouldn't have any memories, or data at all." Said Tails unhappily.

"Oh no…" said Amy sadly.

"Wait! What about those emergency backups Amy was talking about?" Cream said excitedly.

Tails's face lightened up. "Yeah! If Metal managed to save the data in another area of his body, we might be able to retrieve it!"

"See Amy! Everything will be fine! Tails will fix Metal, and everything will be fine!" said Cream happily.

Amy looked at the ground, unsure of that. "I hope so." She muttered.

Back at Tails's home, Tails was trying to copy the data in Metal's emergency backups to his computer.

"Dang he has an amazing data capacity, over 30,000 gigabytes…" Mumbled Tails.

"Can you do it Tails?" asked Amy hopefully.

"Let me see…" said Tails, as he pressed the enter key.

The computer flashed the words, UNABLE TO COPY DATA. DATA ALREADY BEING COPIED.

"What?" exclaimed Tails. "To where?"

Amy suddenly remembered Metal's last words.

Flashback.

"Metal! Stop this! Tails can fix you! Don't do this!" cried Amy.

"I'm afraid that won't be true. He can't fix me in time. My cpu is destroyed. My emergency systems are failing." He whispered.

"No…" muttered Amy. "No…"

Metal put a hand on her cheek, and leaned forward…and kissed her. Before his systems failed, he whispered in her ear, "I'll be back one day. Look for me three years from now. I shall be…back…"

"He will be back…" Amy said softly without thinking.

"What?" said Tails and Cream at the same time.

"Metal said before his systems failed that he would be back in three years." Said Amy. "I think that he ordered the data to be copied to somewhere."

"Well, can I cancel the command?" asked Tails, typing quickly.

The computer flashed the words. UNABLE TO ISSUE COMMAND TO OBJECT. OBJECT HAS BEEN TERRIBLY DAMAGED INTERNALLY FROM POWER CORDS BEING CUT IN HALF NEARBY. ONLY THE DATA REMAINS.

"Which is currently being transferred somewhere." Grumbled Tails.

Tails sighed, and shut off the computer. "I'm sorry Amy. He was right. It can't be done."

"Well, at least he will be back. Thanks for trying Tails." said Amy in a tired voice.

"No problem Amy, I'm sorry I couldn't do more." Said Tails.

(3 years later)

The small bot in Metal's home spoke. "Data transfer, repairs, upgrade, and energy completed." And with that, it deactivated and crashed to the ground.

Metal awoke in his new body, and smiled. He was even more lifelike than before…

I am sorry for those of you that want me to get it done quickly. I just can't. I am sorry. I will continue even though school is starting, and oddly enough, school will not slow my updates, but rather, quicken them. You know…if I have an assignment I can do this and the assignment at the same time…but, anyways, thank you very very much for the reviews, they help tremendously, and for those of you starting school again, good luck!
