Chapter 12: Clash
Metal Sonic watched as the robot in the tube starred at him with piercing red eyes, and he gave back nothing less. He then stepped back, the liquid began to drain from the tube. Metal looked up at the security camera.
"You...I knew it..." Metal heard a loud laugh as a small TV appeared behind the capsule, it hissed for a second with static before a big round man appeared on the screen, wearing a very huge smirk.
"Well well well, Metal, looks like you were able to hack into my system without much difficulty." Metal glared at him.
"...You wanted me to find out."
"Yes."
"You wanted me to come."
"Yes."
"You knew all along."
"Yes, and now you're going to pay for leaving my side, and joining your enemy, my enemy." Metal looked, as he said that line, the glass tube lifted up into the ceiling, a panel closing behind it. Metal Tails fully activated and stood up straight, not moving. Eggman laughed.
"Hohohohohoho! Metal Sonic! Meet Metal Tails!" Metal Sonic turned back to the orange robot, and both seemed to be statues for a moment. "He has all of your abilities, plus he can fly without use of his engine, take a look!" As he said this, Metal Tails' two namesakes began swirling, until they became so fast that it was a blur, going twice as fast any normal helicopter rotor blade. "Metal Tails, demonstrate for you brother, would you?" Metal Tails didn't take his eyes of Metal Sonic, and the spinning blade aimed down and cut straight through the solid metal floor quick and clean as it went right back up. Eggman laughed.
"That right there Metal can cut right through concrete! It also shouldn't have too much making swiss cheese out of you! Ohhohohohohoho!" Metal Sonic started his engine as Metal Tails did the same, and Eggman's voice was barely hear able. "This is what you get for disobeying me Metal Sonic!" And with a final laugh, the TV went staticy again and lifted back up into the ceiling. Metal Tails launched at the robot, and as he neared he turned sideways, the giant killer buzz saw that was his tails' barely missing the chrome blue robot. Metal landed and instantly turned into a powerful revved up spin dash as he shot forward and hit the side of the orange robot, Metal Tails flew into a wall, but soon recovered, looking at the blue robot. There was the sound of a laser charging, and Metal looked around, not seeing where it was coming from, then, seeing the robot again gasped, the three hairs on his forehead shot three laser beams, each barely skinning the robot's armor. Metal Sonic flew into the air, hovered their for a second, then spin dashed again at the robot, who this time was able to catch him. The sound of grinding metal against metal shrieked through the air as the orange robots hands were holding off the buzz saw that was Metal Sonic.
"I don't think so." Metal said, suddenly turning into normal form, flipping upside down and delivering a devastating blow to the robots head, sending it sprawling across the floor. Metal's jet engine started as he flew at the robot at 100 mph. Metal Tails quickly dodged the charge and turned around in mid air, launching a second laser attack from his pimped out bangs. (xD) Metal quickly lept off the floor, dodged the first, then spun in mid-air, dodged the second, but he couldn't move any more until he touched ground, and the third laser struck him straight in the chest. There was an explosion, and Metal fell backwards, crashing into a control console on his back. The console hissed as sparks flew from it, and just as he got up, a clawed hand grabbed him and pinned him to the machine, as a large buzz saw advanced down on him, the spinning tails of death were about to touch his face, when Metal, with his free hand, was bale to grab some loose wires crackling with electricity from the previous explosion. He looked up into the robot's eyes.
"Eat this." He quickly tied the two ends of the wires around the fox's arm, and quickly lept out of the way. There was a horrible screeching of electricity as the robot was engulfed in it. It twitched and smoke eventually began to seep out of it, then, a massive explosion and Metal was sent ricocheting of the wall behind him. He got up, and quickly looked at the smoke filled room, he supposed it was good he didn't breathe, otherwise he would be choking to death by now. He used his engine to blow most of the black smog up through the air vents. He walked over to the motionless body of the robot, electricity still crackling on him every couple of seconds and smoke still coming from his internal circuits, he was by every sense of the word, fried, Metal sighed with relief, but as soon as he did so, a sudden hand grabbed him from behind, restraining him rather well. He looked around and there, coming out of the door was Dr. Eggman. Carrying something small in his hands.
"Very good Metal, that was a brilliant performance, and it was so great, that I think I'd like you back on my side." Metal starred at the small thing, it was a copy of the chip Tails had removed, the killing chip. He couldn't budge, the arm was too thick, as the robot desperately tried to escape, the scientist opened his head compartment and pretended to gag. "Ahh, you won't need thids anymore." He replaced the blue chip with his own red one, and closed the lid. Metal writhed as he felt his freedom leaving him.
"NO!" Eggman laughed.
"Unfortunately yes, sorry Metal!" he watched as the struggling finally came to an end and the robot's head slumped. Eggman smirked. "Well, welcome back..." Metal's head lifted up and his eyes were somehow different, not physiclly but still a world different than before. "...Metal Sonic! OHHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!"
"...Thank you...master."
DAMN IT EGGMAN! Oh dear, now what to do? Sonic and Tails vs their metal selves!
