Chapter 11: The Plan
Sonic stretched, growling a little before finding somewhere to go to sleep. There wasn't much sense in going out and tiring himself out. He howled and ran off into the forest before finding some prey. It didn't take him long to do so. Once he did, the wolf killed some deer and ate the remains, then prowled the forest to explore. A few hours later, he lay down on the ground to sleep.
When the sun rose the next morning, Sonic was himself again, sprawled out on the ground. He groaned and looked around, remembering what he did last night. Sonic sighed; he enjoyed being a werewolf but he wished he had control. Sometimes he did, and other times he didn't. He could transform at will as he found out at Eggman's base also. Sonic stood and stretched. In any case, he had to get back to Omega and the egg Wyvern.
He ran back to the house and saw the Egg Wyvern still in the workshop. It was deactivated for now but he knew it would turn itself on when they needed it. Sonic smiled and walked into the house.
"Hey, E-123!" He yelled. "You have the machine ready?"
Sonic walked into the lab, causing the robot to look at him. E-123 Omega nodded.
"It's ready. All we need is Neo Metal Sonic."
"Just one question," Sonic said. "Won't Neo Metal Sonic's mind cause him to turn against us?"
E-123 Omega thought about it; he wasn't sure. Neo Metal Sonic, before the mental change and body switch, was actually Sonic, and the hedgehog standing in front of him was the original Metal Sonic.
"If he does, it shouldn't be that hard to deal with him," he finally said.
Sonic nodded. "Alright," he said with a smile. "Let's do this."
The Egg Wyvern activated and the three went to Eggman's base. It took a while, but they finally got there. E-123 Omega looked at Sonic, then turned his hand into a cannon and blasted the wall in. Sonic gave him a smile before running inside the building.
"We need to find Neo Metal Sonic and get him to the machine." E-123 Omega and the Egg Wyvern nodded. "Any ideas how to do that?" Sonic looked around, trying to decide which direction to go in first.
E-123 Omega activated its sensors, scanning the base for Neo Metal Sonic and Eggman. "They are not far," it said. "Follow me."
The hedgehog nodded and followed the two robots. Soon, they came to the main lab and saw them. Neo Metal Sonic turned to look at them as they came in. The other robots were activating again as they entered the room.
"You shouldn't have come here," he said to them. "Our robots and I are far stronger that yours."
Sonic smirked. "Really? I think these two are strong enough to handle it."
Neo Metal Sonic glared at him, his optics glowing. E-123 Omega stood in front of Sonic and activated its weapons. He fired at Neo Metal Sonic as Sonic looked around for his next move. Neo Metal Sonic chuckled and blasted lighting from his fingers, shocking the robot. E-123 Omega got out of the bolts and fired once again. Sonic hesitated, looking around for a serum that would help. He ran from table to table, searching quickly and avoiding any shots fired in his direction. He wasn't sure what kind of serum could help, but he was certain he would know when he found it.
A few minutes later, he saw a serum that was labeled as "E-102 Gamma". Thinking nothing of it, he plunged it into his skin and began to transform.
The transformation started by changing him into metal and having him shrink. He was taller than Omega, with a head resembling the other robot's. His body was more rounded than the other's, with a similar contraption coming around his waist as well. A white stripe painted itself down the front of his torso, blending with the metal flap hanging from the belt around its waist. Round shoulders connected to the top of his body, going into thin red arms that ended with a yellow wrist. His hands changed black, with his fingers molding into three that changed into a gray color. Both knees bent backward, decreasing his height due to the way he was standing. They changed both in color and design, matching his arms. To finish it, his feet became black metal with a small green area in front between what resembled two toes.
E-102 Gamma looked around and locked his sensors on Neo Metal Sonic, then fired. He joined E-123 Omega and the Egg Wyvern and they continued to fight. The other robots helped Neo Metal Sonic, though some of their abilities were limited due to the space they were fighting in. A few minutes later, Gamma and Omega combined their fire and hit Neo Metal Sonic, who screamed and fell to the ground. E-102 Gamma looked at Omega, who had fully become a robot.
"Are you okay, Omega?" He asked.
"There is nothing wrong."
Gamma sensed that the other robot was now fully robotic in everything he did. "We should bring him back to the lab." Gamma looked over at Neo Metal Sonic as he spoke.
The other nodded and scanned Neo Metal Sonic. "My sensors indicate that he is deactivated right now."
E-102 Gamma picked the other robot up, and they raced back to the lab with the Egg Wyvern following behind.
