Robotic rose saga III: the rise of the shadows, by ladymecha and Char Aznable.

Forward by Ladymecha:

When I created the Robotic rose saga one year ago, I had no idea on what impact it would make on me.

I got literally hundreds of people demanding a follow up and many others wanting to do fan art and fan fiction based on my work…

It is incredible; the impact of my story made me a celebrity among others.

I always tried to surpass robotic rose in later fics.

I know now I will never get the gold I had with the original robotic rose again, but I can at least give the concept one hell of a finish…

This may or may not be the last robotic story, but rest assured I am always thinking of new ideas and new ways to bring an audience to my work…

With best regards from the author, yours truly Ladymecha, enjoy the show!

No one saw Amy for six months, Cream was de roboticized but she worried greatly about her friend.

Thanks to the roboticizer, her back was fine again. Cream felt joy to walk again on her own without machinery.

It was bitterly ironic that the roboticizer could repair organs and tissue and yet enslave its patient.

Cream looked into the deep forest trying to see if Amy was out there…

She swore that on those nights when she could not get to sleep, she heard Amy's voice sing her a lullaby and she swore she saw Amy's robotic red eyes peer at her from the forest.

Cream was very worried.

A voice called out to her "Where are you Cream?"
Cream came out her door and saw Sally standing outside the door; Cream hugged Sally and said did you find Amy yet?"

"No but we are trying to do our best to find her.

"Cool! You know I don't hate Miss Amy but I worry that Miss Amy thinks she is a killer."

"Yeh, I worry about Amy too, I think she is going back to her old ways… and that's scary, she can be vicious when it comes to it."

"I know I just hope Amy is safe…"

Deep in the Mobian badlands, a lone figure surveyed her land; she looked upon her kingdom and said, "This is where murderers go."

She surveyed her land and said, "I found my home at last."

Mecha Amy observed the desolate land around her and she knew that this place was her new home.

No organic creature could live here; death was in the very air itself.

She was a robot, a machine, cold and empty. This place was perfect for a lonely and tragic creature such as herself, she became the angel of death and she knew she was a danger to everything around her.

This place was closed off from the rest of the world, no living creature could come here… at least not sonic.

She knew that her fellow robots were out here, the robots Robotnik that he held in his evil grip, she wanted to help free them from that horrid fate, yet she wanted to have the robots on her side as her dark ambitions grew…

The name "dominate" came into her mind, to control robots again, to roboticize again….

She stole a portable roboticizer unit from Robotnik and then made her way into her position of domination.

Amy slowly made her fellow robots into soldiers for her army; she wanted to have a large army on her side so she can carry out her plans for world domination…

She explored the outer rim for more soldiers to have in her army, and then she saw him, the one she wanted all this time…

A black hedgehog stood below her, he looked up at her metal from and said "Amy, well, well you found me after all this time!"

She landed near him and said "Shadow, my love it's been some time since I saw you. Well shall we get started on my plan?"

"Yes, I will give myself to your cause to wipe out Sonic; at last I shall have my revenge!"
"Yes I know he defeated you quite some time ago, but do not worry our revenge shall wipe him out! With your powers and my ambition we shall wipe Robotnik and that miserable hedgehog off the face of the planet!"

Shadow walked into the roboticizer on his own willpower, and Amy pulled the leaver…

Shadow walked out of the roboticizer and dropped to one knee and said, "Let the world fear you and me, and together we shall dominate this pathetic world!"

The two laughed a disturbing laugh as the world below them shook in fear…

In the city of Robotropolis, the Workerbot slaves not yet acquired by the twosome marched in hopeless unity.

They marched into their respective duties as the people inside those shells screamed in agony, but then they came…

The two rebellious robots came into their ranks and a new will overcame them, no longer would they be content on serving Robotnik, instead they would work together to make a new empire…

No one would be a slave anymore; no robot would ever obey Robotnik again…

They were in charge now!

The power was theirs; they would rise from slavery to become a race of robot warriors who would spread fear over the planet…

They were the masters now! No longer content as mere machines they joined into a collective that showed no mercy except that of death…

Their goal was to dominate, to roboticize others and make them a part of the whole…

At last, the Robians were free! Free to dominate! Free to rule!

As Robotnik watched his empire fall to the people he enslaved over the last decade, he knew his time of retribution came… the unholy horde had their wrath at last!

Unaware of the events outside the citizens of Knothole marched on with their lives, but as the black smoke once again covered the village, the citizens of the village tried to escape but there was no hope, as the Robian force overtook the village no one stood a chance, not even Sonic…

He tried to reason his way out of his situation but he could not, the Robians were pissed and they had a new and dark aura around them.

As Sonic faced his own demise he felt the darkness overcome him, and all was lost…

The world belonged to the Robians, their empire choked out all life except itself.

It seemed like such a short victory. The amount of former slaves outweighed those who still lived under freedom.

However, there was always hope somewhere and deep in the heart of Mobius, two heroes would rise up to the challenge of the Robian army…

"We got to keep our wits Lupe; we can't let these monsters win!"

"Yes, but they are not monsters… they were made that way Rouge!"

"But how can we fight our friends? Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow have made them into such a deadly force, we know we can't survive that black smoke and we know that we can't just give up, our only option is roboticization!" Said Lupe

"I know, but not by Amy… of course how come I didn't think of it before!"

"What?" Lupe asked

"We can get one of those retired roboticizers from Robotniks scrap yard!" said Rouge

"But what about our freedom of will, how do we keep our minds in our robotic state?" said Lupe

"Well I got some neural overriders here and I think they can help some of the others." Said Rouge

"Well how do we get past them? How do we get our own roboticizer?" asked Lupe
"Well we have to be quick; we have to be smart too…" said Rouge

"But that's still a heavy task; we need someone else, someone fast…" started Lupe

"Sonic isn't any good though, he's one of them now. Who do we get to help us?" asked Rouge

"There is one other, but I heard she was roboticized then she died… but we have no choice, we have no choice but to look for the body of Mina Mongoose." Said Lupe

"Isn't she beyond hope though? Sally told me Amy ripped out her power pack," said Rouge

"Well we have no choice; Mina is the only other card I can think we can play. Everyone thinks she's dead so if we get her back up again we can use her as our edge." Said Lupe

"Good point lets just hope that she can be salvaged." Said Rouge

The two came to the former knothole village and to Mecha Mina's resting site, her robotic body laid in a shallow grave.

The two came to Rotors workshop and started to piece Mecha Mina back together again.

They were able to repair her systems and were able to give Mecha Mina her parts back…

However, giving life back to the metal mongoose was the hard part, sure, they were able to make her systems work again… but the spark of life left her metal body well over six months ago…

Still they tried and tried again, Mecha Mina seemed to be a hopeless case though, but as her eye lights came into being once more the two Mobian heroes cheered as Mecha Mina awakened to the voice of life…

"What the heck? Where am I?"

"Hello Mina, I am glad to see you are okay!" said Lupe

"So it is you two, my god, what the hell happened to me?"
"You were dead for six months; we gave you your life back." Said Rouge

"Yes and a lot of things have happened, there was a huge Robian revolt and now they rule over half the planet." Said Lupe

"Good grief! The last thing is my battle with Amy, is she with you?"

"No, she leads the force that grips Mobius in their iron chokehold," said Rouge

"Jeez, I missed a lot huh?" said Mecha Mina with fright

"Well don't worry we will bring you up to date soon."

The two told Mina about the tale of the Robian revolt and the total rule of Amy and Shadow.

It was like a nightmare, all of the freedom fighters were now robot drones for an army dedicated to taking over the universe.

As the armies of Amy rose drew their plans against every organic creature it became clear that Amy and Shadow had to go…

Mina armed herself and said, "Let's do it"

Thus began the great plan to liberate the planet…

The team gathered pieces of old roboticizers and made a new roboticizer unit for their own goals.

The main reason to use the roboticizer was to survive the black smog used by Amy's military, if they were able to use the roboticizer to help the world Lupe and Rouge was more then happy to let themselves become new robots in the assembly line of freedom.

After they completed their machine, Rouge and Lupe underwent roboticization…

However, before they could launch an attack against Amy and her forces a voice said, "Plan on having a war without me eh? Typical."

A red figure came out of hiding and they knew who it was

"Knuckles" said Lupe

"Yes, I think you are going to need me in this battle eh?"

"Well we can use all the help we can get, hop into the roboticizer and join the party," said Mina

"I will be more then happy to." Knuckles stepped into the roboticizer pod and became Mecha Knuckles once again.

"Let's get on with it!" he shouted as the small band of robotic freedom fighters started to change the tide of war against Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow…

"Well my love, shall we torture Sonic again?" said Mecha Shadow

"Yes, you know I hate to use him only as a mere slave robot, but it is too risky to give him a Robian soldier program."

"Yes, I pity him too a bit." Said Mecha Shadow

"Yeh, oh well Sonicbot come in here you miserable hunk of tin!"

Sonicbot walked up to the two masters and asked "what is your wish my masters?"

He did not look at all, like he did the last time she roboticized him, Mecha Amy and mecha Shadow made Sonic loose both his weapons and his dignity, they made him into a metallic house cleaner who did nothing but obey.

He became their complete slave, they tortured him every night with electric shocks and various other torture methods, and deep inside Sonic was completely miserable…

"I order you to get us some nice wine and some food, and be quick about it; Mecha Shadow and I want to celebrate our victory over those who stand in our way."

"Yes Mistress Amy!" Sonicbot walked off and went to his duties

"But do you think we crushed all possible resistance? I mean we can't assume that we are the total victors in this war," said Mecha Shadow

"Well if there is any resistance it won't be a large one, but I won't underestimate those who escaped our wrath…"

"Yes, I know, but who is left to fight us?"
"Rouge the bat, Lupe of the wolf pack, Knuckles the echidna."

"Ah, well if they are on the loose we have problems"
"Yes, but hopefully they died of our smoke outs or assaults. I just wish we could have had them on our side."
"You still have remorse."
"Yes, I don't want people to die, just join us… become a part of a new whole."

"I know how you must feel, but we must forget our sentiments, we are the rulers of this planet, we must not show compassion or mercy." Said Mecha Shadow

"I know, I am sorry my love."

"Its okay, but I still feel that old pathetic Amy in me, I am a robot now and I must not think of such things."
Shadow gave her a kiss and said "don't be fully ashamed of your emotions, just don't loose sight of our power okay?"
"Yes my love," said Amy, they kissed with a passionate kiss as Sonic stood by.

Deep inside he cried at that site, how could Mecha Amy love this person?

However, he could not bring himself to fight their grip on him… He was their slave…

"Here is what you ordered my masters." Said Sonicbot

"Good! You may go recharge yourself Sonicbot, Amy and I have business to attend to." Said Mecha Shadow as he groped Mecha Amy's metallic chest

"Yes Mistress Amy!" Sonicbot walked off to his recharge unit where he spent the night in agonizing pain…

The heroic foursome made their way into Silveropolis, formally the city of Robotropolis and Mobotropolis.

The foursome had attacked SWATBot refineries and former Workerbot facilities, gaining weapons and supplies it was all guerrilla warfare all over the place.

The desperate tactics of the foursome started to come to the attention of the ruling Mecha duo.

"So we were right, there is a new resistance force in the city."
"Yes and we know who they are, the members are all roboticized Mobians not under our control."

"Well from our surveillance we can identify some of them." Said SilverSal formally princess sally acorn

"What can you give us Sal?" asked Mecha Amy

"I can identify three units, Lupe, Knuckles and Rouge but there is another that I cannot confirm." Said SilverSal

"Who is it?" asked Mecha Shadow

"Data recognizes the unit as one Mina Mongoose." Said SilverSal

"Impossible! I killed her myself!" Said Mecha Amy

"That's why I cannot confirm the data, all reports say she is dead, this is illogical."

"Now don't worry SilverSal, if she is alive we won't hold it against you. However, I do wonder how could Mina be alive, I remember ripping her heart out myself..."
"This is illogical," said SilverSal

"Well don't panic SilverSal, we will find all of those who stand against us… we are the new masters of this world!" Said Mecha Shadow

"All hail the Robian Empire! All Hail King Mecha Shadow and Lady Mecha Amy!" said SilverSal and she walked off to more of her duties.

The small band of freedom fighters had what they needed to fight, and as they made their next move, they knew they would be able to draw Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow into the open if they played their cards right.

"Reports are in from the east, we have spotted the freedom fighter group at knot hill." Said one of the Commander robots

"So they want to lure us out huh? Let's give them what they want!" started Mecha Shadow

"All Soldierbots prepare to attack!"
"No!" shouted Mecha Amy

"What's wrong Mecha Amy?" asked Mecha Shadow

"Let's do our own work! I hate backing down from a good fight!"

"I know, but we have power! We can get other people to fight them!"
"No! That would be cowardly, if you want to stay here fine! I am going!" Mecha Amy flew herself out the window and said "SilverSal, I want you to take charge if I die out there, alright?"
"Yes Lady Mecha Amy."
"Why give it to her for?" asked Mecha Shadow

"Because it's her kingdom anyway, her father ruled this place before us and before Robotnik, its only fitting her family should rule this place after I die."
"You are way too sentimental." Said Mecha Shadow, he leapt up and joined his mate.

"Well you heard her SilverSal, take over!"

"Yes King Mecha Shadow!" Said SilverSal as the two headed into battle

Mecha Lupe detected something with her sensors; she lit up her eye lights and said, "I think we have company!"

Two figures landed in front of the small band of freedom fighters, Mecha Mina looked at them and said "its Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow!"

Mecha Amy came in closer and saw Mina, she smiled and said, "Well, well looks like I could not kill you the last time we met huh? That can be fixed easily!"

"Stop this Amy! You are no ruler and you are no queen! Stop this insanity before I have to kill you!"
"Feh, this is my new life! Ruling in absolute power over stupid people like you, we are the rulers of this stinking planet and you will join our universal mind! We will conquer!"

"That's silly!" replied Mecha Lupe "you can't just conquer the universe! You have to take much responsibility and face loads of resistance like us! You cannot win every battle!"
"You are fools!" started Mecha Shadow "you will bow down to our empire or die!"

"So be it!" said Mecha Rouge as she powered her particle beam cannon "I rather die then to bow to you two monsters!"
The battle began in huge flashes of light, already the sounds of war echoed down the streets in Silveropolis.

Mecha Mina was the first one to take on Mecha Amy, like before they used very sneaky tactics like smoke screens and laser attacks, meanwhile Mecha Knuckles decided to take on Mecha Shadow.

"I always wanted to have an all out battle with you Shadow. You seem to be the perfect sonic rip off!"

"No one calls me a Sonic rip off and gets away with it!" Mecha Shadow lunged himself at Mecha Knuckles in a fit of rage, already they locked into deadly battle.

Mecha Lupe and Mecha Rouge stood by and watched the battle above, they decided to stay out of the fight, and later on Mecha Lupe accounted these events in her diary:
I watched as Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow went into battle with our allies, it seamed that an unholy war played itself over our heads.

The battle I could see clearly was the one between Amy and Mina, they were very close to my position and I could even see the tips of Mecha Amy's control antennae.

Bang, Bang! They went as they collided into an endless and hopeless battle, evenly matched the two stood eye to eye as their deadly combat went on, at times, it seemed Amy would win when she pulled out that electric Pico hammer at Mina and slammed her stomach with it. However, Mina was no pushover; she unleashed her deadly assault with great aim and deadly accuracy.

The battle seemed to go on forever as punch and counterpunch clanged and clanged until at least one of them gave in. However, there was no end to their combat so I went on to check out the battle between Mecha Knuckles and Mecha Shadow. They too seemed to go on and Rouge told me "they are all hopeless; none of them are going to win!"

"Yes it seems that way, it's like they are goin in circles if you know what I mean."

That is when we detected it, the swarms of robots surrounding us.

There were so many of them, all of them advanced types of the SWATBots. We tried to fend ourselves off but there were so many of them! We did everything we could but the robots overcame us in no time flat…

"You miserable scum!" yelled Mecha Amy "you did this didn't you Shadow! Aww you make me sick! You went along with your plan to wipe out these freedom fighters using your stupid advanced SWATBots, such cowardice!"
Mecha Shadow turned his head toward Mecha Amy and said "Aww common! We have an army of robot soldiers here! We can wipe them out with ease!"

"I don't want to hear it you coward!"

Mecha Amy swooped down on the SWATBots and took every one of them out with her ravenous attack.

I looked towards Amy's attack as she saved our lives; she left the battleground to confront her mate.

"You idiot, we could have wiped them out ourselves! You bring dishonor to our empire!"

"But we have them don't you see! We can kill them all in one foul swoop! We can win this battle with ease!"
Mecha Amy came in closer and slapped Mecha Shadow across the face, and screamed, "How could I have fallen in love with a coward like you! You are just some sick pervert who wanted to have a seat in power! You are so dishonorable, so cowardly! You have all this power and yet you are afraid to fight a battle for yourself! Feh I should have seen this coming!"
"But my love!" said Mecha Shadow but Mecha Amy would not listen; she laughed a bit and said, "You guys can get out of here! I want to fight with Mecha Shadow! I see how much of a coward he is now; I should have known it because he is the one who turned Sonic into a house cleaner drone! You three go back to Silveropolis with this code: 334-700S- K 224- S48! Remember it!"
"Yes I understand." Said I as we went off into Silveropolis as Mecha shadow and Mecha Amy squared off….

"You are a worthless coward shadow, a mindless shit hole with no honor! I shall wipe you off this planet for good!" Screamed Mecha Amy

"You are too sentimental Amy! We should take over this planet and make sure no one stands in our way! Even if that means using 'cowardly attacks' that is fine with me, we have the power! We have the control!"

"You are no better then Robotnik! I wanted to create a new empire that valued both freedom and honor, I did not want to enslave anybody just make them a part of something great… they would not need rulers nor people to abuse them, they would be the perfect race and they would become the greatest empire on this planet!  Did not want domination, I wanted unity! You made it into a perverted empire that still used slave labor! You made it sure that no organic being would survive without becoming robotic! You are one sick bastard! I want you to die!"

She sped up her attack so that Shadow would not be able to use his super speed; she made a dive-bombing attack on him and bashed him constantly with her Pico hammer…

We ran into Silveropolis and made our way into the command chamber, we saw the roboticized Sally sitting in Robotniks former armchair and we said Amy's code to her "334-700S- K 224- S48" we said in a collective voice, Sally flashed her eye lights and said, "Okay, I understand. Commander please let Sonicbot have his armor and free will back and let's go to the battle ground."

"Yes mam!" said the commander

"Oh yeh, please give the freedom fighters a full pardon, I want them to be free of the charges placed on them by former King mecha Shadow…"
"yes mam!" said the commander

I asked "what you are okay Sally?"
"Yes I am, in fact we are all okay here thanks to Lady Mecha Amy."

"But don't you hate Amy?" asked Mina

"No, I can never hate Amy. Once again she showed me mercy and kindness, even after all she has done I can never bring myself to hate her… let's go to the battle ground shall we?"

"Yes, lets," said I

Mecha Amy and Mecha Shadow fought like wild animals as they nearly killed each other fifty times over by now…

We watched as the two thrust themselves into each other with incredible speed. Their battle was all pink and black flashes in the sky, we could not see the battle real well as their battle went into supersonic speed.

Bang! Clang! Boom! Went the battle, we tried our very best to observe the battle but we could not see a thing…

Then a large BANG! Came to our attention

We saw the body of Mecha Shadow slam down into the ground and right behind him came Mecha Amy.

"I see you guys have come to enjoy our show! Well don't worry you wont be disappointed by this fight, we will give you one hell of a show!"
She sliced away at the face of Mecha Shadow as he tried to fight her off…

However, she was too strong for him, she was more then a match for the black hedgehog in her nearly insane state. However, she knew he could beat her if she lost her edge so she continued to give him punishment; she gave him blasts with her Pico hammer and metal claws. She gave him more punishment with her laser cannons and punches to his face with her metal fists.

However, he was able to counter her with shots of his own and he was able to knock her off him.

The two headed into the sky once more, and battled with great intensity and punishment.

It was an all out war in that sky, we stared in amazement as their bitter war shook the very planet itself.

Time passed slowly as they entered the final part of their fight, we saw them counter each other with equal force and aggression….

Then it came, the huge flash in the sky, it came at us with atomic force as it atomized everything in site…

We were safe from its blasts thanks to our metal shells but I tell you it was darn scary…

Shards of pink and black metal hit the ground and we knew that they were gone…

As quickly as they began their empire, the two lost it in those few agonizing seconds…

We learned that we could survive without roboticization thanks to the extended pollution of the planet by Mecha Shadow, in fact if we did not roboticize ourselves at that time we would have died…

As we rebuilt our lives, we realized that Mobius would never be the same again; we knew that the Robian Empire made its mark as all non-robotic life died in those days after the battle…

We knew that somehow, Mecha Amy watched over us. From where, I do not know. But as we rebuild our lives in these robotic forms we know that somehow and somewhere Amy Rose is watching over the empire she had built…

The end
