I'm finally over my writers block. I've decided to experiment with a differant wrtining style, so tell me if you think it is better or worse when you reveiw. I'm also adding some interesting technology to my version of the Sega SatAM world (that's what I'm calling it since it has both Sega and SatAM characters in it). Please R & R after your done reading, I would really appreciate it. You should all know where the legal mumbo jumbo is by now, so go on and read what happens next.

Chapter 4 ---- A New Robotisizer


"What are you two doing here!?" yelled Sonic

"Well...." said Mecha "we are such good pals and all, so I figured that me and R.K. would just drop by."

"How did you get here?" asked Sally, wanting to know how Robotniks two most deadliest robots found their way into their village.

"Quite simple really. When the hedgehog here took my severed limbs, he un-wittengly took a tracer along with him. It was a little hard to follow, since you have it so close to a jamming device, but we managed to hone in on it. Now here we are!"

"Now we not only have the coordinates of Knothole, we also may just take and added bonus back to Robotropolis with us, along with that Emerald of Power." said Robo-Knux.

Everyone knew immediately who he was talking about. The two robots must have been listening in when Knuckles explained the whole thing about the Sword of Chaos.

Rahn twirled his sword around in his fingers. "You'll have to kill me first." said Rahn, getting back into a fighting stance.

"That can be arranged!" yelled Mecha, as he started flying right towards Rahn.

He was intercepted with a sonic spin-dash to the side of his hull that knocked him some distance away from the group of Freedom Fighters. Mecha got back up and turned towards Sonic. With a huge flow of anger, he closed the distance between him and Sonic. However, before he could get to him, he was hit with four laser blasters to the other side of his hull and knocked back one more.

Sonic and Shadow both started charging at Metal Sonic and both did a homing attack at the mechabot. Mecha was now taking on all of the Freedom Fighters. Some where shooting weapons while others where hitting him physically. He was receiving damage rather quickly, and was starting to wonder where Robo-Knux had gotten to. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the other mechabot. While the battle was ensueing, Robo-Knux had walked up to the table at the war room, and took the Emerald of Power. After putting it away in his chest compartment, he looked to see how Mecha was doing. He was trying to take on all of the senior Freedom Fighters, but no luck. He was being spin-dashed, shot, punched, and slashed to peices. Basically, losing altogether.

'Idiotic robot! Drived by so much anger to on person. At least he is providing a suitable distraction.'

Robo-Knux watched the fight from afar, waiting to make his move. He didn't have to wait long. After about five minutes of watching Mecha 'literally' get his butt kicked, he saw his chance. Rahn had taken a punch from Metal Sonic, successfully dis-orienting him. R.K. made his move and fired his thrusters. Tails saw Robo-Knux coming right towards Rahn, and tried to warn him to get out of the way.

"Rahn! Watch out!" yelled Tails.

It was to late though. Before Rahn could get out of the way, Robo-Knux had grabbed him and had started to make his getaway.

"Put me down you retarded peice of scrap metal!"

"I don't think so, Rahn was it? Well...no matter. I think I'll hold on to you for a while. Hearing of how useful you could be to us and all, you understand?"

Rahn was about to take his sword and dice the robot in half, but R.K. caught his hand before he could do anything.

"I don't think so buddy! Mecha, stop wasting your time with those Freedom Fighters, we have more important matters to attend to now!"

Mecha activated his engine and lifted into the air, right before Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles could perform another attack.

"Don't get to comfortable hedgehog! We'll be back soon enough, and then you can say goodbye to your little freedom movement!"

The three watched the two robots leave, not noticeing who they were carrying with them.

"That's right!" yelled Shadow. "Runaway you spineless robots"

Sally started looking around the area, checking to see if anyone had been injured when, when Tails came running up to her, looking almost completely pale.

"Sally! We have a huge problem!"

"What is it Tails? What's wrong?"

"I saw Robo-Knux take off with Rahn! And the Emerald of Power is gone to!"

"WHAT!!!" yelled Knuckles. "Oh man! That is not good! Sal, we have to get him back. If they robotisize him, they could...."

"I know, Iknow! Just let me think for a second."

She started paceing around in a line trying to think of something. Knuckles was right. If Rahn was robotisized, then he could very well be the key to their destruction. Sally wasn't worried about what could happen if he were; yet; anyways. What mattered was getting him back.

"Hey, Sally Girl! I've got an idea!" said Bunnie, interrupting Sallys' train of thought.

"What have you got in mind?" asked Sally.

"Well, them two robots know the location of the village, right? Why don't we start moving everybody to a safer spot while Sonic, Shadow, and Tails go try and rescue Rahn."

"But it could take days before we finally get everything ready to move. If we could get Sonic, Shadow, and Tails to steal a few hover transports from Robotroplis while their out, that would get things moving faster." suggested Rotor."

Sally thought about it for a moment. They might be able to pull it off!

"Okay then; Sonic, Shadow, and Tails. You three will go to Robotroplis and try to rescue Rahn. After that, steal a few hover transports so that way we can get moving alot easier. The rest of us will stay here and start getting everyone moving and packing belongings. Understood?"

"Sure thing!"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Got it!"

The three left and grabbed a few supplies and took off towards Robotropolis. Sally watched them go as the others went to work getting everybody ready to move.

'Good luck, guys.'


********************


Robotnik sat in his office on the top floor of his command center. He was going over a final checklist before starting one of his new experiments. He checked and rechecked everything. This experiment needed to be watched so closely that he couldn't afford to have Snively run it, it was just to risky. Knowing him he would have screwed it up somehow. Instead, Robotnik had him monitoring the test subjects in the experiment.

His experiment was so top secret that he couldn't even afford to save the files on his computer, or else the Freedom Fighters would hack into it. No, he couldn't have that. Every blueprint, note, and result were all written on paper, to be on the safe side. Robotnik was just about finished running his checklist when he saw Metal Sonic and Robo-Knux appear on the video camera that overlooked the room where the experiment was being run.

He saw them carrying an odd looking, but very familiar Mobian. Robotnik saw the two robots throw him into a small tube similar to what his other six test subjects were in. Robotnik looked at all their faces, the looks of sadness and hoplessness. Oh, how he enjoyed it. But the Mobian that his two servents threw in was fighting to get out rather viciously. He decided he better call down there and ask what the two mechabots were up to. He flipped the call button on his console and spoke into it.

"Metal Sonic, Robo-Knux! What are two doing down there?! And who is that you just threw into tube seven?!"

R.K.'s voice came back through the inter-com

"Well, sir. Me and Metal Sonic here have some interesting news for you. If we may come up and explain it to you?"

"Grrrrr.....This had better be important enough to interrupt my experiment. We are in the final test stages of the new 'Mechasizer,' so make it quick!"

Robotnik turned off the inter-com and waited for his two lackies. He didn't need to wait too long. The two robots came in about five minutes later, and Robotnik could see some of the damage that Metal Sonic had taken. He had hundreds of dents all over his hull and laser marks to match them. Robo-Knux, for some reason, was completely unscathed.

"What on Mobius has happened to you Mecha! Did you get into a fight or something?!"

Metal Sonic let out a quick sigh.

'No duh....we have some good news to report sir. You should find it very interesting."

Robotnik smashed his fist against his console.

"Well?! Out with it!"

"You see, sir..." started RoboKnux. "We have found the location of Knothole Village."

Robotnik nearly had a heart attack. They had found Knothole? That would explain the damage that Mecha had taken. Nevertheless, this made Robotnik very happy.

"You found Knothole Village?! HAHAHAHAHA! Yes! This is perfect! Finally, I can destroy that accursed hedgehog and destroy the Freedom Fighters! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Oh, but there is far more good news than that, sir." said Robo-Knux

Robotnik stopped laughing. There was more good news? The only other good news that he could possibly want was that Sonic had been killed. Hoping that's what they were going to say, he let them continue.

"That Mobian we threw into tube seven could be very helpful to us in more ways than one." said Mecha

"Really?.......How?"

Robo-Knux pulled the Emerald of Power out of his chest compartment and handed it to Robotnik.

"Is this a Chaos Emerald?!"

"No, sir." said R.K.. "We overheard Knuckles talking to his other comrads about what this 'Emerald of Power' could do. He said it was to select someone to forge a sword from it and the Chaos Emeralds. It turns out that that mobian down there is the one it chose, and he has tremendous fighting skills that could rival even the most skilled martial artisits."

"Hmmm....Emerald of Power, eh? Did you happen to overhear what this emerald or this 'sword' could do? Because if it isn't anything good, then I am not going to waste my time with it!"

Both mechabots looked at eachother then back at their master and replied at the same time...

"It can control all the emeralds, including that Master Emerald."

You could have sworn Robotnik jumped five feet off his chair, which is pretty impressive for his size.

"More power, and the the ability to control the Master Emerald! This is good news indeed!"

Robotnik turned back to his console and started going over his checklist again. This time, he was going to be more thurough than he was with his previous checks, he wanted no mistakes.

"Mecha, Robo-Knux; go down and help Snively oversee the process. In case any of the subjects are violent after they come out, you need to be down there."

Both Mechabots saluted and headed out the door to assist Snively. Robotnik grinned to himself going over his checklist. Soon he would be able to destroy Knothole, and have more power than he could possibly imagine. Who knows, maybe this will help him in finding what his 'suppliers' is looking for. He cringed at the thought of them. It wasn't comforting to think about a threat such as 'slow and extreamlly painful demise.' But maybe 'he' will be pleased with this news. But first, he had an experiment to run.


********************


Rahn was banging furiously against the tube. He had a good idea what he was in, that's why he was trying so hard to get out. So far, everything he saw in his dream was coming true. He couldn't let this happen, he had to get out. He saw Metal Sonic and Robo-Knux come back in. As Mecha walked by, Rahn could have sworn he saw the robot smile.

'That 'definately' can't be good.'

The two robots took a position next to the short, bald, human at the control pannel to the devise. He also noted, for the first time, that there were six other Mobians in other tubes as well. All had looks of hoplessness on their faces. Rahn couldn't help be feel more angry. That's when he heard 'his' voice. Robotnik.

"Greetings my unfortunate labrats! You have been 'selected' to take part in a new experiment of mine. You may notice that you are in a machine similar to the Robotisizer. Let me assure you, it is not a Robotisizer........., it's a Mechasizer! A more advanced version of the Robotisizer. It will turn into mechabots, similar to the two standing next to my assistant. But, unlike them, you will be 'Mechasized,' not 'created.' I'm hoping you all 'survive' the process. None of my previous labrats did, but hey, the thirtenth time's a charm!"

Rahn glared up at the camera that was looking over the room, and yelled into it.

"You're not going to get away with this you sorry, son of a (insert pipe groaning)!

"My, what a mouth you have. I'm especially hoping that you survive, number seven. I've been told of the unique potential you have, and I'm looking forward to having you on my side." said Robotnik

"Forget you! I'm never going to help you, NEVER!" yelled Rahn.

"Oh, but you will...........'you' will."

Rahn felt the chamber start to get hotter. He looked down and saw a green light flashing, getting faster, and faster. The top of the tube was doing the same. Now Rahn was really trying to get out, he couldn't allow this to happen. But there was nothing he could do. The two lenses in the chamber fired and eveloped him with a peircing green light.

Rahn tried to look about himself but the light was two bright. He began to lose feeling in his legs, then his arms. That's when everything went black.


********************


The light died down, and the tube opened. Snively checked the life readings on his terminal. There was only one that survived the process; pod seven. Snively looked up and saw the survivor, it was Rahn. Snively was almost completely terrified of the robot. He looked just as menaceing as Mecha! He would be in the corner of the room had Mecha and R.K. not been there. But, even the robots were a little 'on edge.' Both had brought their arm blasters out and aimed at the mechabot. That's when he spoke.

"My designation is 'Mecha Rahn,' but you can just call me 'Rahn, Mechabot Seven."




*********************


Oh great! Rahn has been 'Mechasized.' What do you guys think is going to happen next? Please Reveiw and tell me what you think so far. And by the way, I'm using the Robotnik from the 'Sonic Adventure' games, just so you know. Next chapter will be up whenever I get around to writing it. Until next time, see'ya!
