A New Beginning Part 1

Knothole
It has been only a few days since the events surronding the ARK: Shadow's apparent death, the
Biolizard, The planet's near destruction.
It has been a trying time for all of the planet's inhabitants.
Some still find it hard to beleive that Robotnik actually helped save the planet.
A certain human, however is preparing to tackle his own endeavor.
"Come on, Trevor, pick up your receiver."
"Finally, Trevor, I'm going to need some help."
"What kind of help?"
"I need you to hook me up with a small transport that can carry a good load and some basic climbing
gear."
"Let's see...Give me about 3 hours. I'll meet you in the usual spot."
"One more thing, I'll need you to come with me."
"That may be a problem, but I'll see what I can do."
Ryan is walking through when he is stopped by Sonic.
"Yo, Ryan? Let's go boardin'."
"Sorry, Sonic. I've got something to take care of."
"What is it?"
"I can't say, but I don't know how long I'll be gone. Take care of things while I'm gone okay."
"Ummm, I guess. I'll just contact you on your communicator if we need you."
"'Kay, see ya later."
-----------------------------------
Outskirts of the Great Forest
A lone figure waits patiently for the appointed time.
"He's late again. Sheesh, what is it with him?"
Suddenly a ship comes zooming up.
"Finally, what took ya?"
"I had to get permission to take this stuff."
"What did you tell the all-mighty commander?"
"Him? I just told him some bull thing about going to research a disturbance."
"Figures he'd fall for it. He is stupid sometimes."
"So, you never did tell me what we're doing."
"Well, we're going to get and fix up an old friend of mine."
-----------------------------------
Mt. Mobius: Base
"This is where you're friend is?"
"Yeah, it all happend a long time ago....
We had just saved the Hidden City of the Ancients from Chaos and Eggman when he appeared."
"Who?"
"The Original Metal Sonic, completely rebuilt and bent on revenge."
"So then, what happend?"
"Well, he kidnapped Tails, took him to the top of this mountain, and trapped him there. The bad
part was that it was soon to erupt."
"Then what?"
"He confronted us and tried to stop us from saving Tails. However, we managed to free him.
With the mountain soon to erupt, Sonic told us to go while he dealt with Metal.
When we said we wouldn't, Metal laughed at our emotions.
Both Tails and I then joined Sonic to take him out. This left Metal spechless.
But then a tremor caused a rockslide and we were trapped.
Suprisingly, Metal freed us and held off the lava long enough for us to escape.
However, Metal did so at the sacrifice of his own life and was engulfed by the lava."
"So what makes you think Metal survived?"
"Well, I have a feeling he could survive. As long as his internal CPU is still functional, then I
can repair him. Anyway, if he can survive a fall from the floating island into the ocean and then
repair himself, I think he can survive a mountain eruption."
"Why do you want to fix him?"
"I feel he deserves another chance to make right where he once was wrong. He would be a great asset
to our cause."
"Oh, okay. Enough talk, let's find him."
-----------------------------------------
Mt. Mobius: Peak
"Man, has it really been almost 2 months since I was last here? This place looks totally different."
As the scene appears, the lava has totally hardend and created a crystalline substance over the crater.
"Ryan, over here! I think I found something."
"What is it, Trevor?"
Showing Ryan, Trevor pointed to the motionless remains of a robot body encased in the crystal.
"That's him, alright. How are we going to get him out?"
"Leave to this handy device."
"What is that?"
"It's a teleportation device G.U.N. recently created. We can teleport his remains from inside the
crystal to on to the platform here."
"Well, do it. I want to get to work fixing him."
"Okay, okay, stand back."
Trevor sets the device to teleport only Metal's remains onto the platform.
A blinding flash of light surronds the area and Metal's remains amazingly appear on the platform.
"Dude, Trev. That thing is sweet."
"Man, Ryan. He looks like crap." Trevor said referring to the mangled remains of Metal.
"His frame isn't what I'm worried about. I just hope his internal CPU is still functional."
Happy that there mission was a success, the two heroes make their way back down the mountain.
"Ryan, there's some info I need to give you. It concerns G.U.N.'s newest weapon. It seems their a bit
miffed about you messing up the ARK."
"Figures, those guys are always thinking with their... Well, let's just say they aren't too smart. So
what exactly are they working on?"
"Well, it's a new type of robot. It requires a pilot to, well, pilot it in a cockpit."
"And what is this new robot called?"
"It is called, get this, GUNdam."
"No way. That is so lame."
"I know, but then again you know who is in charge."
"Knowing him, that fits. So, do you think you can slip me the blueprints so I can make a counter force
of our own?"
"No prob. I am the lead tester and designer of it, so that will be no problem."
"Okay, just contact me when it's ready."
"Where exactly are you going to fix him up?"
"I found an old lab and it's got a huuggge hangar I can work on our GUNDAM's."
"Sweet, well I'll get those plans as soon as possible."
After that they dropped Metal's remains at the lab, Ryan got to work on it and Trevor returned to G.U.N.'s
New Headquarters.
--------------------------------
Knothole: Sonic's Hut
"..And he gave no word on how long he would be?"
"No, Sal. I've told you that a thousand times."
"But what do you think he could be doing, Sonic?"
"Not sure, but we don't need to worry, we should trust him to do what's right."
"Maybe, but still...I don't think the others might like this."
"Tough, if they don't trust him yet, then that's too bad for them. They don't know what their thinking."
"You're right. He has proven himself to be one of us. We can't lose our trust in him."
--------------------------------
Abandoned Lab: Robotics division
"I'm suprised that this place is in such good condition." Ryan mused to himself.
"So my metallic friend, let's see if your ticking."
Using his tools, he carefully pried away the remains of his frame.
"There's the central CPU. Let's hook you up to the monitor and see if anyone's home."
Connecting the power cable to Metal's CPU, Ryan turned on the monitor and typed away to see if there was
any damage.
"Let's see...Main Memory Check Okay, Backup Files Green, Recent Memory...Hmm, it seems that this has been
locked, oh well, the system seems nominal and it appears there has been no serious damage other than
a melted servo motor and damage to the jet thrusters."
Suddenly, Metal's ominous red eyes began to light up.
This made Ryan freeze in his tracks.
They lingered on for a moment or two and then went out as fast as they had come on.
"Woah. That was spooky. I wonder what made him start to activate. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to
continue working on him later. I think the others may be wondering where I am."
Ryan then secured Metal's remains, locked up the lab, and made his way back through the Great Forest.
---------------------------------
Knothole:Ryan's Hut
We see Ryan lying down on his bed, trying to rest. However, his dreams won't let him have it that easily.
"What the...Where am I? What's that?" Ryan questions in his sleep.
The scene show two figures duking it out and then a huge explosion occurs.
Ryan wakes up in a cold sweat and is definitely a little spook.
"Man, what a strange dream. I wonder...Could this be some kind of premonition?"
Needless to say, Ryan did not get much sleep after that as his mind kept focusing on the dream, trying to
figure out its meaning.
----------------------------------
Next Morning
Ryan had finally gotten to sleep when someone knocked at his door.
"Huh? Who's there?"
To himself he was thinking, "Damn, just when you get to sleep...."
He stood up, stretched, and answered the door.
It was Sonic.
"Um, hey Sonic, what's up?"
"Hey, I need to, um, talk to you."
"Sure, come on in."
"So, what's on your mind?" Ryan asked.
"Well, Sal and the others are a bit worried by how you've been acting lately."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, they kinda don't trust the way you took off like that."
"If that's what they're worried about, tell them not to worry. You know I could never do anything to cause
me to lose your trust."
"Well, that works for me, but I think Sal would like to know what's going on."
"Sorry, Sonic. I need to keep that secret."
"But why?"
"I'm afraid that it may incite some concern with the inhabitants. You guys know how I am."
"True, but you can tell me."
"Sorry, I can't. I know you would try to keep it, but someone may get you to say and then...well, you know."
"Okay, but I just hope you're doing the right thing."
"Trust me. I am always working for the good side. I would never dream of betraying you or the others."
"That works for me. Just try not to act suspicious. You know how people still feel about you."
"Yeah, but that's a pity. Just because I'm human they think I can't be trusted. That's sad considering all
I've done to help you guys, too."
"Oh, well, what can we do? I guess some people never learn. Well, I have to report back to Sal. See ya."
"See ya, Sonic."
After Sonic left, Ryan made his bed, grabbed something to eat, and made for the lab.
----------------------------------
Rebuilt Lab: Robotics Division
Ryan seems tired after all the work he did.
"There. This place looks better now that it's cleaned up some."
Something was bothering him.
"I wonder why the guys were so worried? I know that I'm acting somewhat odd and suspicious, but they know
I would never do something to harm them. Oh, well, I need to get back to work on Metal."
Metal's skeleton system and CPU are laid out on a table with wires attached to various points.
"Well, the good news is there's no major damage, however I need to get some parts to fix his thrusters and
motor servos. I also need some extra components so I can build him an emotions chip and blueprints to recreate
his frame. I'll need Sonic's help. I'm too tired to do it today. I need some..sleep."
Ryan just barely made it back to his hut before he collapsed in exhaustion.
---------------------------------
Knothole: Sal's Hut
"So he wouldn't tell you what he was up to?"
"Yeah, Sal. He said it would incite some worry in the other inhabitants if it got out."
"Sonic, I want you to follow him if this happens again. I don't want us to be jeopradized if he is doing something
to possibly harm us."
"Sal, I don't feel that is necessary. Why would Ryan try to hurt us after all he's done to help us?"
"You've got a point....Hey, isn't that him there?"
"Yeah, and he looks like crap."
"I wonder what he did to tire him out so much?"
"Maybe I better keep an eye on him. If I find out anything, I'll report back."
"Okay, just be careful. Ryan is a powerful ally, but he could also be a powerful enemy."
---------------------------------
Next Morning: Sonic's hut
Sonic looks a little disturbed in his sleep.
"Ryan? What are you doing? Who's there with you?"
As the figure begins to appear, a knocking at the door woke him up.
"Huh? Darn, I wonder who that was?"
The knocking got louder.
"Hold on, I'm coming, I'm coming."
Opening the door, Sonic was suprised to see Ryan.
"Ryan?! Um, what can I do for you?"
"I need you to come with me."
"What do you mean?"
"I need to get some parts from Robotropolis and I'd appreciate some backup."
"Uh, sure. I'm up for some action. Give me a second to put my shoes on."
"OK, I'll wait outside."
---------------------------------
Edge of Robotropolis
"Ryan, does anything seem strange to you?"
"What? You mean the lack of border patrols?"
"That would be one thing. Also the total absent of air patrols."
"You think Eggman turned over a new leaf for real."
"Maybe, but I'll have to see it to beleive it. Where do you need to go, anyway?"
"I need to go to his robotic development lab."
---------------------------------
Robotropolis: Robotics Development Lab
"Keep an eye out for any guards. We may not have run into anything yet, but it may just be a ploy."
"Right, Ryan. I'll do a quick perimeter check, while you get what you need."
"'Kay. Good Luck, and try not to get into trouble."
"What? ME, get in trouble? Never. See ya."
"Oh, boy. He's too much sometimes. Back to the task at hand. Hmmm...that's strange. There seems to be no high level
security locks on this info. That just makes my job easier. There's all the available schematics of Metal's previous
incarnations, now I need to find the parts."
Rumaging through a couple piles of old robot parts, Ryan soon came upon what he needed.
"There, that should be it. All this stuff weighs a ton. I hope I can make back to the lab without collapsing."
Suddenly a familiar sonic boom is heard and Sonic shows up.
"Man Ryan, this is really strange. There were no swatbots anywhere near here."
"That is a bit odd, maybe Eggman did turn over a new leaf."
"Maybe...Did you find what you needed?"
"Yeah, let's boogie."
---------------------------------
Great Forest
"I'll see you later, Sonic."
"Where you going?"
"To take care of something."
"Ryan, I don't think the others are going to take this good."
"Look, you just have to trust me on this. I'll probably be awhile, so don't wait up."
"I just hope you know what your doing. I beleive in you and that you'll do the right thing."
"Thanks, bud. Catch you later." Ryan said as he dashed off to the abandoned Lab.
"See ya. And Good Luck." Sonic said back as he ran to Knothole.
---------------------------------
Rebuilt Lab: Robotics Division
"...Let's see. I need to connect this circuit to that one and patch together those diodes. Okay, now to add this chip
and that will do it for his emotions circuit. This will hopefully allow him to have a conscience and have basic
human emotions. Now for the right arm servo. Dude, it is totally mangled. Let's see....here's a replacement. Wow, this
is a perfect match. Now to figure out how to build his frame."
Looking over the plans he got from Robotropolis, Ryan remarked, "Hmmm, he's had so many different incarnations, but which
is the best. Perhaps a combination of each forms best attributes. The original body from his first Metal form, the speed wheels
from Silver Sonic, the deadly speed of his mark II form, his ability to go Hyper from his mark II form, and his jet thrusters
and plasma gun from his last form. Perfect."
On the screen, a message said^Plans Forming^ with a time elapse bar counting down.
After a few minutes, a^Plans Complete^ message appeared.
"Good, Now to rebuild his frame."
Ryan began to furiously type away at the keyboard,"Protocols locked, startup process in three, two, one...."
