Author's Note: This story is told from Ryan's point of view.
-----------------------
Prologue
The city of Robotropolis has been quiet for some time....and for good reason. It seems that the
good doctor has been quite busy in the last few months.
As our scene enters a restricted lab below the city grounds.
A figure floats silently, watched by the evil Eggman himself.
"Soon, you will awaken....and then you will deal with them all."
The figures eyes flash a cold, blood red.
"They will have no chance against you. Hahahahaha!"
------------------------
Ryan's lab
It was another one of those days. I sat around trying to find something to do. After the battle
with the remnants of G.U.N., we salvaged all we could from their base. Their wasn't too much to
obtain, aside from some info and possible technological devices we could develop. The rest was
scrapped, for we feared that they may fall into the wrong hands.
"Man, I can't stand it." I said to myself. As usual I had nothing to do. I started to wish that
the old Eggman would start something just for the sake of some action.
"Stand what?" Sonic asked, as he poked his head around the corner.
"I just wish we had some action. It has gotten so boring without any bad guys to deal with."
"I know what you mean, but look on the bright side, it least we can relax."
"Yeah, whatever. I'm just so bored."
Sonic gave me a look of annoyance, mumbled something about how crazy humans can be sometimes, and
sped off.
I got up and milled around the lab, seeing what the others were up to.
As usual Zoel was trying to boss around Metal, who was lazyily "sleeping" on his hammock.
Callie was cooking up something for lunch, whatever it was it smelt great.
Trevor, Justin, and Ashley were in the garage tuning up the GUNDAMS and performing some matinence
checks.
Everyone had something to do but me.
"I just wish something would happen!" I shouted.
Suddenly, as if answering it, I received a signal on my computer.
"Finally!" I said answering.
As I switched it on, Sally appeared on the screen.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"We've got a mission."
"Alright, I bet Sonic's excited too."
"Yeah, about time something to spice up these past few days. I'll give you the details at the
meeting point."
"'kay, see you there."
I flipped off the screen and smiled. Finally some action.
"Yo, Zoel, Metal. You guys interested in causing a little trouble?"
Metal came zooming down the hall followed by a slighty ticked Zoel.
"What do you mean, trouble?"
"Sally just called. We've got a mission to do."
"Sounds good to me. I feel like causing some havoc." Zoel said, "Maybe we can even get some work
out of Metal."
Metal shot Zoel a glaring look but quickly regained his composure. Jeez, with friends like these,
who needs enemies?
-----------------------------
Robotropolis: City limits
We met with Sonic, Sally, and Tails. It seems that their has been some recent activity involving
an old "friend" of ours. No details about what but whatever it was they seemed spooked. We split into
three teams: Me and Zoel, Sonic and Metal, Sally and Tails.
There was a suspiciously low amount of resistance. You'd think with something so "hush-hush" they'd
have a higher level of security, but...oh well.
Zoel suggested we check the weapons development lab.
Figures, out of all the places to check, he has to check the most potentialy dangerous.
Upon entering the lab, we stumbled upon a few plans for some scrapped robots, a very strange plan for
a Dark Chao Walker, and some scrap parts that were thrown around everywhere.
I wasn't too thrilled that we had discovered nothing.
I leaned against a wall and fell through it.
"Hey, Ryan, you okay?" Zoel asked.
"What do you think? I just fell flat on my ass." I replied.
We followed the passageway for what seemed like an eternity till we came to a hidden room.
Strangely, the room seemed well kept for such a hidden room.
We searched and found strange plans, calculations, and programming that didn't make much sense.
"Ryan, these plans..they don't make much sense."
"I know, Zoel, even I don't get these."
I studied the plans a little more when my eyes caught sight of a stasis tube lying next to the wall.
"What the...?" I said walking towards it.
I noticed a small plate on the side that said:
"Danger! High level prototype mechanoid requires care and caution!"
I looked around for a name and only found some strange I.D. code: MR-00.
I couldn't make heads or tails off it, but there had obviously been a robot of some type in this tube,
for I could see spots of oil residue and scratch marks on the base of the tube.
"Dude, whatever was in here....it must have been pure evil."
"Yeah, the feeling I'm getting from this place is...undescribable."
We made tracks outta that creepy place as fast as possible.
We met with the others and told them what we had found out.
"Crrreeepy." Sonic said.
Pretty much we all agreed on that point and made our way back to our respective places.
----------------------
Great Forest
As we were walking home, I noticed that Sonic was sniffing the air.
"Yo, Sonic. What's wrong?" I asked.
"I smell....smoke."
I strained myself and managed to detect the smell of smoke.
"Where is that coming from?"
We looked around for any signs of the source and saw smoke coming from the north.
We ran as fast as we could and as soon as I saw it I damn near collapsed.
"Oh my God!" was all I could say.
In front of us, the encampment where the humans from Earth resided, was destroyed and on fire.
"......." I was speechless.
"Hellloo? Ryan?" Zoel said waving his hand in front of my face.
I don't know how to quite explain how I felt. It was as if my mind had just shut off.
Thankfully, someone slapped me outta it and brought me to my senses.
I snapped out of it and still couldn't beleive it.
My family was gone, they were ashes now.
"I think it's best to let Ryan be for now." Zoel quietly said to the others.
They left as I just sat there and watch the fire burn itself out.
I could only think of one thing and that was to get revenge for all of them.
"If I ever find the person behind this, I promise....REVENGE!"
-------------------------
A few days later....
I lay there in my bed, thinking of my lost family.
I hadn't been out of my room in a couple days, save for eating and other things.
I know that my friends must have been worried but I needed time.
I don't think I could take their tries to cheer me up.
So I just laid there, in my saddness and anger.
Then there was a knock at the door. It was Zoel.
He said I should snap out of it.
"He's right." I said to myself.
I decided to go see Sonic for some cheering up.
I opened the door and slipped out towards Knothole.
--------------------------
Proximity of Knothole Village: Great Forest
I walked along and saw how great the forest seemed. It was calming in a way, as I started to feel just
a little better. I took my time as I walked, but then something strange happened. I felt something speed
by and make the birds fly from the trees.
"What the puck?" I said.
Then I heard a huge explosion come from Knothole's location.
"Shit! That did not sound good."
I ran as fast as possible to Knothole.
--------------------------
Knothole Village
Not again, I couldn't take this again. There was Knothole, burning and, to make things worse, their was
no sign of anyone.
"Sonic! Sally! Tails! Shadow! Someone, is anyone there?" I shouted.
All I received in reply was silence.
I put some of the fires out as best as I could and tried to search for any survivers.
Then I heard a moan of pain come from the somewhere.
"Hello?"
I saw someone's arm showing from underneath a sheet of metal.
I lifted up the sheet of metal and saw the injured form of Sally.
"Sally!" I shouted.
She wasn't moving.
I felt for her pulse.
"Damn, it's weak....Shit, she's not breathing!" I said.
I started chest compresions and began CPR. I just hoped it wasn't too late.
"Come on, don't die on me. I've already lost my family, I can't lose my friends."
I prayed that this would work.
Nothing....
"No...,NO!" I screamed.
Just then I noticed movement.
"Thank you God, Thank you!" I screamed.
Sally opened her eyes and looked at me.
"R..R.Ryan? Uh...What happened?"
"I don't know, all I know is that I saw a huge explosion and then Knothole in blazes."
"Well, I'm glad you found me when you did."
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I'm find for now save for my arm. I think its broken."
"Okay, stay here and I'll look for some more survivors."
"Check the hangar. Tails was their before that explosion hit."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
I made my way to the hangar and did not like what I saw.
The doors gone, part of the roof missing, and pieces of what looked like the Tornado II lying all over
the place.
I walked through the doors and then froze.
Tails' body was lying against the wall.
I walked over to him and was thankful that he was still alive.
I was horrified, though, because his fur was covered in dried blood.
"Tails, Tails can you hear me?" I asked.
"Ryan, thank God...Ugh." Tails replied.
"Is anything broken?"
"I can't move my left tail, so I figure its broken. Did anyone else survive?"
"So far I've only found Sally. Hopefully I'll find some more."
I helped brace Tails' tail and we made our way back to Sally.
I noticed a black hedgehog sitting with Sally.
"Shadow!" I yelled.
Shadow turned to look at me and remarked, "You never cease to suprise me human."
"What can I say? I die hard."
"Can you boys quit screwing around?" Sally asked.
"Right, we need to look for other survivors." I said.
"Already did." Shadow said.
"And?" I asked.
Shadow just looked at me with a sad look on his face.
"So that's it, huh? You're all that's left." I said.
"What about Sonic?" Tails asked.
"No sign, but I fear the worst." Shadow said.
"We can't give up hope, guys. Worst than this has happened to Sonic." I said.
"Right, let's just hope he's alright. So, what now?" Sally said.
"Well, we should head back to my lab and get you guys bandaged up. We'll figure something out after that."
"Right, let's go."
---------------------------------
Proximity of My Lab
I walk along, helping my friends as needed. I just couldn't believe that Sonic may possible be gone.
We continued on and eventually reached the lab.
"Ryan, something's not right." Tails said.
"What?" I asked.
I then got my answer. I noticed several scorch marks on the wall and the door had been blown down.
"OH NO!" I screamed, running into the building.
"CALLIE! ZOEL! TREVOR! ASHLEY! JUSTIN! METALLL!" I screamed.
I got no response. Tails and the others caught up to me.
"Ryan, where are your friends?"
"I don't know."
Just then, we heard a grinding of gears coming from the hangar as well as a plea for help.
"I know that voice. METAL!" I said running towards the hangar.
As I got closer, I noticed a copperish smell in the air, as well as that of scorched skin.
I walked on the catwalk overhanging the garage and saw two of the GUNDAMS in parts.
I saw a puddle of red paint on the floor.
"What the hell?" I said to myself.
I climbed to the floor and examined it.
I then realized the horrific conclusion that this wasn't paint, this was someone's blood.
"That explains the copper smell, but what about the scorched skin?"
Movement from the other side of the hangar caught my attention.
"OH MY GOD!" I said.
There in the corner were my friends.
They had been brutally killed, their crimson blood pooling into one puddle.
"NOOO! NOOOOOOOO!" I screamed.
I went over to check.
I tossed their bodies to the side and saw who's remains they were.
Zoel, Trevor, Ashley, Justin, they were all bloody corpses now.
"WHY?" I asked.
One thing bugged me, where was Callie?
All I knew was that I was all alone again, the only human(good one anyway) on Mobius.
I then noticed the remains of Metal.
"Well, at least I can salvage you my metallic friend." I said picking up his parts.
I made my way back to the others and noticed someone else with them.
"Sonic! At least there's some good news."
"Well, it's not that good. I do have part of my top quill missing and a couple scratches."
"What about your friends?" Sally asked.
"There gone, Callie's missing, and this is what's left of Metal." I said.
"I'm sorry." Sally said.
"We need to move on. That's what my friends would want. Tails, I'll need your help to rebuild Metal. Luckily,
his frame is still intact so it won't be hard to fix him."
"Right, maybe he can give us some info."
I first helped bandage everyone up and made sure their wounds were treated. Then Tails and I headed to the
robotics lab to repair Metal.
------------------------
My lab: Robotics division
Tails and I worked diligently to repair Metal.
We finally had him up and running and then suddenly he freaked out.
"Ahhh, get away."
"Metal, calm down. It's me Ryan, chill."
Metal got his wits about him and relaxed.
"Metal, what in God's name happened here?"
"Ryan, a great evil is loose. It's is unspeakably evil and has no soul."
"Who is this person?"
Just then, we received a call on my computer.
I answered and was frozen from the picture on screen.
"Hello, my organic duplicate." said a cold, evil version of me.
"Yyyyou, bbbut how? We destroyed what little there was off....of course, the tag on the tube MR-00. It stands
for METAL RYAN."
"Right, but I prefer the name RYAN MARK II, seeing as I am everything you are, only better."
"Yeah, right. We'll see about that."
"Easy, unless you want a certain someone to get hurt."
I was silenced as the camera panned to show Callie chained up in a cell.
"You monster! If you lay one hand on her I'll..."
"You'll what? If you want her back, you have to face me. If you have any brains you wouldn't come....but you
organics and your emotions always get the better off you. Come to the Little Planet, if you dare."
I knew it was a trap, but I just couldn't give up on Callie like that.
"I'm going."
"But you can't go alone, that's suicide."
"How can any of you help? Your all injured."
"But I'm not." Metal said.
I didn't like the plan of leaving them alone in an injured state.
Then I remembered that I could leave E-102 with them.
I went over to the side wall and pushed in a panel.
It moved out of the way and a stasis tube appeared.
E-102 activated and stepped out.
"How may I help you Ryan?"
"E-102, I need you to help protect my friends while I deal with something. They'll fill you in on the details."
"Right, you can count on me."
"Ready, Metal?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Guys, don't die while your out there." Sonic said.
"And don't you guys die while we're gone." I said.
Metal and I sped off towards Never Lake and the Little Planet.

"How can any of you help? Your all injured."
"But I'm not." Metal said.
I didn't like the plan of leaving them alone in an injured state.
Then I remembered that I could leave E-102 with them.
I went over to the side wall and pushed in a panel.
It moved out of the way and a stasis tube appeared.
E-102 activated and stepped out.
"How may I help you Ryan?"
"E-102, I need you to help protect my friends while I deal with something. They'll fill you in on the details."
"Right, you can count on me."
"Ready, Metal?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Guys, don't die while your out there." Sonic said.
"And don't you guys die while we're gone." I said.
Metal and I sped off towards Never Lake and the Little Planet.
