Chapter 11: Metal
The house was deadly quiet for about a half an hour, none of the three of them uttered a word the entirety of the time. It was getting dark eventually and the sun was beginning to set on the horizon, seeing this, Metal Sonic turned his red eyes, then back to the others.
"...T2, you're bath will commence approximately ten minutes from now, immediately followed by bedtime." Tails smiled and nodded, Sonic however was still starring blankly at the screen though.
"...Sonic, what's wrong?" Tails asked quietly, Sonic turned and sighed, upon standing up.
"Nothin' buddy, so uhh...who's gonna do bath time tonight?" He asked, looking at Metal then to Tails. Metal simply stood as well.
"Oh, umm...well." He glanced at Metal. "Well, Sonic, maybe you could do it tonight." Sonic blinked and turned to Metal.
"Sure, that okay with you?" Metal nodded.
"Yes." He turned to the general direction of the basement. "I wish to go and use some of your equipment, may I?" He asked referring to Tails.
"Yeah, sure." Metal's copy and Tails soon walked into the bathroom and Metal watched them close the door behind them. He looked at the ground, then ventured into the basement. His metallic red glowing eyes first met darkness, Tails always turned the lights off when not down there. His hand found the light switch, then his head noticed the computer, and he walked over to it slowly and silently.
"Eggman attacked once, he'll do it again, but I shall not let him harm my new friends." The robot internally thought, as the computer's monitor sprung to life. He began typing incredibly fast as various windows popped up. "...My data transmitter from his base is still active in my mother board, if I can hack into his main security mainframe I may be able to figure out what the Dr. is planning." After five minutes of furious hacking, a final window popped up, constantly scrolling down with hundreds and hundreds of rows of numbers. Metal internally smiled. After it closed out he began searching the archives. His eyes flew through the information until it came to rest upon the most recent date, and the robot froze solid. His eyes couldn't believe it, and, although a robot, his hands began shaking.
"No...no, I must stop it!" The robot shut off the computer, and started his powerful turbine engine as he flew out the shop's flight hanger door.
--
"Dr, Eggman, there is a fast object approaching at 150 mph." A robot at the controls of the main base said, to a large round silhouette in the shadow's. "What action shall we take?" The form laughed.
"Let him come..."
--
"No...this is not possible, he couldn't have..."
--
"Yo Metal! Where'd ya go?" the blue hedgehog said, walking down the basement steps to see the lights on, but no one there. Sonic raised an eyebrow and tapped his foot, upon seeing the hanger door open he blinked. "Heh, maybe he went for a fly." He shrugged to himself, turned off the light and walked back upstairs to Tails.
--
The blue robot sliced through the front door without any difficulty, multiple guard bots shot lasers at him, but his speed wiped them all out within a second. He looked up, to see an air vent, and broke through as he made sharp turns through the endless vent system, looking on his radar he made a sudden downward thrust and broke through the bars, causing it to fall to the floor with a clang, he landed in a ninja type position, and his red eyes looked around. Not detecting enemies, he got up and surveyed the room. It was a lab, with no lights on the entire room was dark, except for a single glowing green light from something in the middle of the room. The robots eyes narrowed as he focused upon it and slowly advanced.
--
The round man grinned as he watched on the security camera as the robot approached the green light.
"...That's right...pull it off..."
--
Metal would of gulped if he could as his sharp fingered hand gripped the tarp, and after a moment, flung it off. The black colored sheet fell to the floor forgotten, as the blue robot starred in horror at the thing inside the glass tube. His hands touched the cold glass, although he could not feel temperature.
"No..." His hands pushed on the glass as they turned into fists. His eyes stayed locked with the head of the thing in the glass. "...I should of known..." He looked down, then back up into the robot's black non yet activated eyes. He examined the robot, sharp clawed hands, a somewhat similar turbine engine design as him, two large appendages that were rowed with spiked at the spine of each tail, two jagged ears that were as sharp as razors, and a white painted muzzle. "Metal..." He began, and as soon as he did, the robot's cold eyes suddenly turned on, a deep piercing red like his own, but he didn't even flinch. "...Tails."
OOOOOHH!! HOW MANY SAW THAT COMING!!
