Of Mobian and Machine: Part 2

As the Sky Patrol flew above West Side Island, Tails and his teammates were looking down below scanning the area for any signs of Robo-Sally.

"Guys, is there any sign of Robo-Sally?" Tails asked them.

"Nothin' right now, Tails." Marine called out.

"Negative." Mina replied.

"We need to keep looking." Tails answered.

"I think I found somethin', man." Rocket stated. "Or might be some kind of bonfire." The fox looked up to where the sloth was looking at and they had saw a trail of black smoke in the distance.

"There's some thing going on over there." The fox stated. "Follow that trail of smoke. I think our target is over there."

The group headed over only to find a small crater surrounded by the remains of several deceased mobians.

"Eww, this place is total stank." Cream stated, covering her nose. "It's like something crawled out here and died."

"This must be the work of Robo-Sally." Tails noted. "But I didn't think she had grown this powerful."

"She has not you, idiot." A metallic voice replied from behind them. "I was the culprit of these violent actions. And I think I will carry out a repeat performance." Before the heroes even had a chance to react, Mecha-Sonic launched himself forward. First taking Cream down with a clothes line, then using his iron foot to smash her face into the dirt. Marine jumped at the robot bringing her fist down onto its face.

"Have some of this, you metallic wanker." Marine shrieked. Mecha-Sonic grabbed her by the leg and tossed her aside like a rag doll. "AHH! You stupid minger!" She collided with a tree and was knocked out.

Mina whipped out two blaster pistols and opened fire hitting Mecha-Sonic dead center and sending out a shower of sparks. The cold and calculating robot was annoyed by this.

"Funny, that tickles." He stated, pulling up his arm and activating his wrist rocket. "My turn." Four wrist shots went zooming towards the mongoose; Hitting her dead center with tiny explosions, sending her flying backwards.

But before she could hit the ground, Mecha-Sonic raced behind her and delivered a vicious spinkick that sent the girl flying forwards again.

"At ease, solder." The robot looked down at her unconscious form, giving a mock salute. "You've earned your rest."

"You filthy, scrap pile." A large rock smacked Mecha-Sonic in the back of the head. He turned around to find Rocket the Sloth twirling three small pebbles in his claw. "It only took the hero one rock and a sling to take the giant down." The sloth told Mecha-Sonic. "What kind of simple tool will it take to defeat you, I wonder?"

"You can not defeat me, meatbag." The robot boosted forward, propelled by his rocket engine as he went to punch the sloth in the face. "I'll knock you from here to Shamar in one blow." But Rocket instantly vanished seconds before Mecha-Sonic connected. Looking around the robot could find no trace of Rocket, but when he looked up Mecha-Sonic saw the sloth floating over him, levitating a large boulder.

"You look kind of lumpy and disjointed, my friend." the sloth commented. "Here, let me flatten all the kinks out." Hurling the large boulder downward, Rocket smashed it right into Mecha-Sonic. Landing beside the large boulder, the sloth pondered for a moment. "Interesting, did I just defeat Mecha-Sonic or did Mecha-Sonic defeat himself?" the sloth guru stroked his chin. "That is a question for the ages and I... AHH!"

Rocket recieved an electrical shock from behind and fell over as Metal Sally stood there with her hand sparking.

"You talk too much, mystical fool." The female robot sneered. "You didn't even see my attack coming."

But before Metal Sally could celebrate her victory, she was blindsided by a pair of swirling yellow fox tails.

"And your too busy gloating to see a surprise attack coming." Tails mocked her. Normally, I like to rely on gadgets but this one is personal." The fox hit her with a flurry of punches banging up and smashing her metal exterior. More skin peeled away from her robotic body until he looked like some kind of freakish Sally-cyborg.

"You'll never get the best of Team Tails." The fox pinned her to the ground, pulling out a screwdriver. "Now, let's take you offline so you can't hurt anyone ever again." Tails' eyes narrowed as he jammed the screwdriver into Robo-Sally's wiring.

But as Tails tried to disassemble Metal-Sally, the large boulder exploded into pebbles. Mecha-Sonic zoomed over to the surprised fox and with one punch sent him flying through the air.

"Whoa! I'm getting dizzy." Tails cried out as he was sent slamming into a tree. He fell to the ground, having the wind knocked out of him. As he lay there on the ground, the robotic hedgehog zipped over to the other machine.

"Well, that takes care of Sonic's little band of errand boys and girls." Mecha Sonic chuckled, helping Metal-Sally back to her feet. "Now, we'll tie the fools up and continue with our revenge."

"We will create a massive chemcial bomb capable of destroying every living creature on the planet down to the smallest of bacteria." Robo-Sally stated.

"No." Mecha-Sonic rebuked. "That won't do."

"What do you mean 'no'?" The robotic chipmunk asked, in confusion. "Don't you want your revenge on these meatbags?"

"Building such a bomb would take too much resources; and will months to draft, construct, and detonate. We will be easy discovered before we get close to completion." Mecha-Sonic responded. "Besides, we're the fun in that."

Tails stood back up finally catching his breath and the two machines noticed him.

"What?" Robo-Sally asked. "That one's still conscious?"

"I know how to deal with this." Mecha-Sonic stated, lifting his wrist. A sludge shot out at Tails and hit him spot on, covering the confused mobian. The two-tailed fox tried to move but the sludge was highly viscous. He couldn't budge from his current position.

"You want to keep him conscious?" The cybernetic rodent asked him.

"Affirmative." Mecha-Sonic answered. "Tie the others up and bring them back to the Metropolis Zone. I'll handle this two-tailed worm."

After a bit of time, the two robots have taken the members of Team Tails back to their base. Miles 'Tails' Prower was shackled hands and feet to the wall by chains and hard wires. Mecha-Sonic watched the fox struggle against his binds.

"Enjoying yourself, little fox?" The robot sneered. "I thought you would be able to do better than what you could do against me. So much for the rising star."

"Enough." Tails replied. "Not another word out of you."

"You have to know your place, meatbag." Mecha-Sonic stated. "The machines are far more effienct than organic lifeforms."

"What are you planning?" Tails asked, angrily.

"The same thing that the obsolute version wanted." The robot exclaimed. "A world ruled by machines."

"Well, you're no different than Metal Sonic." The fox rebuked.

"On the contrary, I am more superior than my predecessor. For he had the same flaws that Julain had and I don't." Mecha-Sonic replied. "That makes me all the more powerful."

"No, it does not." He yipped. The robot zoomed in and grabbed the fox by the throat.

"You don't know the situation that you and your friends are in." The robot stated. After having gripped on Tails throat for a moment, he let go allowing him to breath. "You might not remember but Doctor Eggman still had a special robotisizer he left behind. In case you don't remember, I refresh your memory." Mecha-Sonic explained. "It was a robotisizer that the doctor had modified in which de-robotization doesn't work. It would make them rust over and it would crumble to dust, but he only used it once."

"Huh?" Tails stated in annoyance. "Why's that?"

"Because unlike the original robotisizer, it wasn't a quick transformation." The machine continued. "In addition, if it didn't complete the robotization in one go, the effects would wear off and the process would have to start over. And lastly, it was not a painless transformation."

Then, Robo-Sally walked into the room where Mecha-Sonic and their captive fox was located. The metallic hedgehog turned to her.

"The arrangements that you requested were done." She stated. "I don't understand why you wanted me to do that."

"Because my dear, there is something that the meatbags have that we don't." He answered.

"And that is...?" She asked.

"Just watch and you will know." Mecha-Sonic said picking up a remote. He had pushed a button a television screen came down at Tails' right and the fox noticed it. The machine turned by to Tails when this was going on. "I have perfected that special robotisizer. So that way, the process will be the most through as they will be robotisized one body cell at a time." He pointed to Tails. "You were my organic counterpart's little buddy and a genius with machines. YOU are MY little buddy now. It'll be you who will make Robo-Sally and myself invincible."

"I am NEVER going to join your cause EVER." Tails roared.

"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Just look at the television to your right." Mecha-Sonic answered and he turned on the television. The image of a now-conscious Marine was scared in a small cell.

"MARINE." He stated with a frightened look on his face.

"If I remember correctly, this is the woman you love." Mecha-Sonic replied. "Now, you WILL be my little buddy or your Marine becomes full-machine."

"YOU WOULDN'T." Tails replied in a panic.

"Actually... I would." The robot answered as he pushed a button on his remote. On the television screen, continuous bolts of energy struck on the raccoon girl. She shrieked at the top of her lungs as a look of agony was on her face. Tails saw that her flesh was slowly turning into metal.

"STOP IT, PLEASE!" The fox yelped. "SHE'S IN PAIN!"

"You forget. I am a superior machine. I have no room for empathy." The robot replied. "What will it be, Tails?"

Tails struggled against his binds in an attempt to escape but didn't have the strength. He was going through tortured pain as though he was going to lose his second love and he began to tear up to see Marine being robotisized in such a manner.

"Please..." Tails sobbed. "I'll do anything. Just don't hurt her."

"Very well." Mecha-Sonic stated pushing a button on the remote. Tails looked and saw that the robotisizer was shut off. He saw the raccoon girl was slowly returning to flesh and blood again but was no longer in pain. The machine pushed another button and a collar was strapped around the fox's throat. "That will prevent you from leaving. If you try to remove that collar, call for help, or turn against the two of us; you know what will happen to Marine. And you are to refer to me as 'master' and refer to Robo-Sally as 'mistress', is that clear?"

"Yes, master." Tails cried, in submission. "I'll do what you say."

"Good." The robot answered, releasing the fox from his bonds. "Now, get to work." Robo-Sally went forward and took the broken and miserable Tails away to his workstation. Mecha-Sonic was now alone in that room.

"It won't be long..." He stated to himself. "before a new age begins."
