Part 4
Before I tell you what happened to Knuckels there are a few things you should know. The disk that I played before has a major role in it. As Robotnick said before, it is possible to reanimate a body for very short pieriods of time. It is only possible to do this once since the proces, if it fails, will completly melt the subjects brain into mushy goo. The robotizer that Robosonic was creating was the fastest ever. It could robotize a mobian in 6 seconds. That was also about as much time as is possible to rase the dead. I say myself that it was a very close call. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the thing. It was HUGE! It must have done somthing besides robotizing because there was so much extra machenery. Most of it looked like memory storage. Wait... I see it now! It was memory! I understand now what must have happened. But that can come when the story gets there. Marble, Max, and I took camp very carefully. Although the bots were obviously non-functional they were still deadly. We ran into a few more Goliathbots and one of the Ragebots. I've never seen anything like it. It had more laser canons then robotnicks Deathegg. The lock mechanisim was still incomplete when we met it. It could only target one of us at a time. I told Marble to atract it's fire while Son... I mean max and I could get behind it... and realize that its armor was almost impenetrable. I have never seen anything like this Tails. Max said as he watched the dark grey armor slip overitself as it tryed to hit Marble. Stand back Max, I said as I pulled my cannon over my shoulder. My ears folded back as I took aim at what I thought was its weakspot. I heard the fimaliar as my laser cannon powered up. Just then it got tired of trying to hit Marble and turned right around on its treads. Oh crap. Tails RUN! but I wasnt going to folow Marbles orders. The lense at the end of the cannon started to glow. You shouldnt have turned around. I spoke to the bot as my beam tore a perfect circle through its middle. This is where it supprised me. The bot didnt stop. It kept functioning like nothing had touched it. Whats going on! You tore straight through it! Marble yelled astonished. Just as I thought Max said as he drew out the Linear Edge again. he yelled as he suddenly appeared on the otherside of the bot. The bot just stood there and Max was doing nothing. Marble said. Then we all saw a good sample of the Linear Edge's power. White lines started drawing themselves across the armor plating. We all looked on as the bot colapsed in a heap. Thats when Marble said a word I dont think any of us expected out of his 10 year old mouth. Good kids like you shouldnt... Max wresheathed his sword across his back swear, We all got a good laugh at the expression Marble had on his face. His mouth was gaping wide open at Max's skill. We didn't even see the tip of his iceburg. What was it that you figured out back then Max? Marble said
huh? oh. Max rummaged around in the pile of dibre that was once a ragebot. He pulled up a small red jem.
What is that? it almost looks like a...
Chaos Emerald I finnished.
No its not an emerald. Steelbutt has been trying to make copys.
copys? But I've been studiying the emeralds for a long time and there makup it way to complex to copy! I said completly stunned The only person who would know about how to make copys is... Knuckles, Marble had replyed.
We all looked back at the memory hardware next to the custom robotizer. You dont think that... that they actualy have Knuckles. Max said feeling the same way I did. I'm sure that the simple thought of Knuckles bieng alive brought hope to Max. But... The truth was so awful...
