Scrapped Chapter 2 - Mecha

Third Person's POV, Far Away from Eggman Empire Fortress

Mecha was all by himself in a dark rocky cave. He was screeching in agony and kicking at rocks.

He was upset.

He was upset about what happened.

He was upset about being an idiot.

He was upset for not facing his fear.

But he was very upset that he lost his friends.

He had been spared by Infinite who enjoyed watching the bird's fear. Sure Mecha ran away, but he didn't know where he was going and eventually got injured by robots. He used one of his teleportation bombs to get him out but not before he became unconscious. When he woke up, he started to regret what he did and broke into a big tantrum.

What he didn't know was that a person was coming into the cave.

"Mecha?" said the person.

The turquoise bird stopped. Looking behind, he saw a cyan female bird with the same brown eyes he had and her hair tied up as a ponytail. She wore a multicolored shirt, a black and yellow jacket, black and yellow gloves, a yellow skirt, yellow and black boots and pilot goggles.

Mecha groaned. It was Nicki, his annoying twin sister and another member of his team.

"Get lost," grumbled Mecha still with watery eyes.

"What's the matter, brother?" asked Nicki.

"Nothing…" said Mecha looking away.

"You look very upset. The last time I saw you with tears was when you got that scar. What are you upset about? Your jackal friend Zero?"

Mecha turned around.

"How did you know that?!" he snapped.

"I read your diary," Nicki said with a smile.

Mecha face palmed. He forgot that Nicki broke into his house to spy on him. Even the defensive systems didn't work. Nicki must have read his diary when Mecha wasn't looking.

"Yeah…" admitted Mecha. "It was. He is also…I…Infinite."

Nicki smile disappeared as she absorbed the news.

"What?"

"Yes. After Zero joined Eggman, he put a powerful gem prototype gem on his chest to become powerful."

"Then how come you got upset."

Mecha hesitated. Then he spoke. "I don't have the strength to fight Zero. Despite everything he put us through for the past six months, I still miss him. Also, he captured my friends."

"Who?"

"Bubblegum and a wolf named Rookie."

"I thought you are rivals with Bubblegum."

"That was a million years ago. I started to see the negativity of my actions. It just that I didn't know how to solve this situation. I was forced to choose either to save my friends and fight Zero or to run away. I chose to run. I didn't know what to do, and now it's already too late."

Nicki looked at Mecha for a while. Then she went up to him.

"Let's pretend that you get to make that choice again. I say that you should save your friends and stop that nasty monster."

"But I could not do it…" said Mecha, his voice cracking with negative emotions.

"Listen. I know that it's hard, but you have to face it. Zero is evil. You have to accept it. He already destroyed many lives. You would have to keep your mind on the world instead of him. Or in this case, your two friends. You have to do the right thing even though it could be very difficult. For now, those two are more important. Zero needs to be stopped. It would like what our father's choice was; either live alone or live with us."

Mecha stared at Nicki. His sister might be right. It's time to face the facts. Zero is evil and always will be evil. Killing him for his crime is cruel but so is the jackal who wrecked everything. He only have to blame himself. Mecha did everything he could throughout the war. Besides, for the first time, he agreed with his sister.

"Ok," said the turquoise bird. "I'll try to do the right thing…"

"Good brother," chirped Nicki as she playfully grabbed his beak, shaking it before letting go. "C'mon, let's go."

But Mecha stood in his spot. His eyes were barely dry.

"Okay-dokie," said Nicki understanding why Mecha didn't want to go yet. "You need some time alone."

But before the aqua bird left, she took something out from her bag. It was MECHA'S YELLOW AND BLACK JACKET.

"You left this at the stadium," said Nicki as she passed Mecha his jacket. "Be the Death Shocker I know. Make father proud."

Smiling, Nicki ran and went off to the battlefield. Mecha was staring at his jacket, surprised. Understanding what the right decision was, he put his jacket on and covered his head with the hood.

"Time to put an end to this endless battle," said Mecha with his hand holding very tightly onto his Wispon and his eyes angrily narrowed.
