Chapter 2-Reborn
Tails took a lot of time and thought into his inventions and building,but bringing a almost destroyed robot would be one of the hardest things he ever did.Scratch was awake during the whole process,feeling the pain behind every part Tails had to remove,and asking silly questions like 'What did you just do to me?' and 'Why'd you have to do that?'.The thought the chicken wanted to block out was the possiblity that Tails might be just takeing him apart for spare parts,but he tried not to fear that was possible.And the only time Tails had a chance to work without Scratch asking questions was when he had to remove Scratch's voicebox for repairs.But after almost a week's work,Scratch was powered down one more time to give his system a rest,and for Tails to find a good excuse to tell Sonic about bring one of thier enemies back to life.
Later that day,Tails powered Scratch up again,but this time with Sonic,Knuckles,and Amy in the room.As he was powering up,Sonic had alot of questions for Tails...
"Why?Why?Why?Why'd you have to bring a idiot like him back?"Sonic asked paceing the floor.
"He might be useful Sonic,he's strong and I fixed mostly all the problems and bugs that were in his A.I program."Tails explained neriously.
"Yeah,but he still worked for 'Buttnick you know."Sonic pointed out.
"That's right,I still do!"Scratch interupted,fully powered up."What makes you people think I won't turn on you and tell you where you all are hiding?"
Sonic was about to spindash right though Scratch,but Tails showed everyone a black box with the Eggman symbol on it."This little box is what made Scratch a slave of Robotnick.It had all the information that Robotnick programed into Scratch on it.Without it,the robots on Eggman's base will think he's just another furry like us.And he will have no memory of the base layout."
"Which basically means?"Sonic and Scratch said together.
"It means that Scratch doesn't remember a thing about Eggman,and the robots don't remember Scratch."Tails explained as he turned to Knuckles."I want you to hide this somewhere that no one but you can find it Knuckles.Its the only way to make sure we can't be tracked down by Eggman."
Knuckles gave a nod as he took the black box and walked outside to hide it.
Sonic still didn't like Tails' idea."Ok Tails,but you have to take care of him.Just like I took care of you when you were little.And if he makes any trouble,its gonna be YOUR fault!"Sonic ran out of Tails' house at top speed back to his house.
Amy shook her head."I hope you know what you're doing Miles.Sonic told me that Robot did horrible things to you two when you were growing up.I don't think that robots can change,even if they get a upgrade."She looked at Scratch."I'm sorry I had to say that in front of you,but I think that it's true."She took her hammer and walked out the workshop.
"I don't think they like me very much..."Scratch said looking downward.
"I know,but you have to prove to them you are a hero too.Heck,we had a lot of doubts about Amy,and she turned out just fine!"Tails said trying to cheer him up.
Scratch shuddered as he pictured himself as a chicken robot attacking with a pink and yellow hammer."Erm....yeah,I guess your right Tails."
As the two were talking,one of Eggman's robots:the newly rebuilt Zero,was searching for the Omega Stone just outside of Tails' Workshop.It used its lazer sight to get a better reading on the stone's location,and detected the stone inside of Tails' Workshot.
"Omega Stone located master Robotnick."Zero reported to Robotnick via radio.
"Where is it?"
"Stone located inside of the workshop in the forest,still inside the robot's shell."
"Good,good.It shouldn't be too hard,I deactivated Scratch years ago!Just walk in and pick it up."
"My readings state that the robot 0000000001 is active master and..."
"WHAT?Someone turned the hunk of junk back on???Bring the robot and whoever powered it up to me Zero!I want to have a word with both of them."
Zero ended the transmission and charged right though Tails' (locked) front door.Scratch let out a scream that could be mixed up with a 5 year old girl's.
"Its a robot,the robot came to kill me!I know it was too good to be true..."Scratch paniced.
"Calm down Scratch,its just Eggman's lackey,you shouldn't be scared of it!We have to take the robot down.Its like a pumped up Badnick."Tails explained going into a fighting stance.
"Take it down?Ummm....you go on ahead and destroy the thing and I'll be cheering you on from a safe distance..."
"Scratch,come over here!"Tails screamed.
Zero didn't wait for Tails to get Scratch to fight back,he had already locked onto Scratch and was about to give him a rocket punch,but Tails tackled the robot head on,sending both of them right though the door that Zero made his ent in.Zero was stunned for a few seconds,but quickly got back on track and rammed Tails into one of the water tanks.That was all it took to knock the fox out,much to Scratch's surprize.Scratch looked at Zero.
"Hey you excuse for a trash can,why'd you have to come crashing though his wotkshop?"Scratch asked.
"I have come for the power that keeps you running #0000000001,and I am not leaveing untill I have it in my grasp."Zero explained locking onto Scratch.
It took Scratch a few seconds to process this information and reword it so he can understand it."Hey!You're trying to turn my lights out!I'm not going back to the Junkyard!"
