=============================
A tragic accident Part III=============================
The great forest birds were flying away in terror. Something that they had never seen before, something that had the aura of death had come to their domain. Glowing eyes swept through the dark forest, as one metallic leg stomped down on the ground followed by another one. "Target: Amy Rose. Scanning, presence no found" The cold voice stated as it finished scanning the fleeing birds. "Sector 11, scan complete. No trace of subject Amy Rose. Continuing to sector 12." The eggminator had arrived in the Great forest and were busy hunting for it's pray.
One cool blue dude name Sonic were cruising through the great forest at mach 2 at that moment. His mission: Stop Robotnic once and for all. Reason: The use of a friend, maybe not a very close friend, but a friend no less in another of his sick traps. No one messed with his friends. Blasting past a tree he almost failed to notice the object headed the other way just as fast as he was.
The Eggminator stopped before it slammed right into Sonic and landed on the ground. It eyes glowed blood red as it switched to a more combat ready status. Staring at the blue hedgehog that had stopped also. It brought up the statistics of its target. "Object: Hedgehog, scanning. Comparison with target is 35%." Eyes going back to normal, the jet engine on the back roared to life again and the robot began to hover a little over the ground as it went back to search mode. "Will continue search for target: Amy Rose."
Sonic stared at the robot; Long gray spikes hang down from the back of the head and a metallic face that sort of looked like his own stared back at him. Thin upper arms with square boxes for the lower arms ended in a five-fingered hand. The upper part of the legs was also thin and ended in a cylinder shaped lower leg. Stepping back a little, he waited for the usual cry from every single robot he had ever met. As nothing happened he began to feel a little freaked out, it was the first time a robot had showed up that didn't attack him. He shifted his feet and prepared to blast off any moment, just in case it was programmed to lure him into a trap. As he prepared to bolt, the robot spoke loud and clear. Turning to face it again, he growled in an animalist way. "What did you just say metal mouth?"
The eggminator stared at the hedgehog. "Interfering with unit 003, Eggminator is not advised. This unit is ordered to terminate object Amy Rose, no matter what." Turning to face the way Sonic had come from. The engine fired up to full trust and propelled it away from the blue speedster.
Sonic glared after the robot and smacked his hand together. "Okay Robobutt. You mess with the hedgehog and you get trashed." Tearing off, Sonic blasted after the robot. "Man, can this day get any worse." Turning to face Knothole he grimaced at the speed the robot travel at. "Man that thing is fast, but no one is faster then me." The hedgehog blurred out, as he speeded up.
************
"Unable to contact subject"
Robotnic rubbed his chin as he stared at the repaired computer screen. "Try again." As the negative response came, he slammed a hand down on the armrest of his mechanical throne. "Blast. Call up the plans for the robot." As the blue prints for his latest killer machine ran across the screen, Robotnic ran his eyes over it. "I got it. Contact the sub AI."
The computer blinked for a few seconds. "Contacting………. Contact made. Eggminator Sub Ai ready for orders."
Robotnic grinned as he sat back. "Computer. Transfer the content of CD to Sub AI. Have it replace the target info." As the computer worked to carry out his order he sat back in his throne. "Shadow bots 301 and 302. Report to me at once. I have a special mission for you."
"Warning" Robotnic stopped talking when the computer screen blinked red, with a warning sign on it. "Eggmiantor Main AI refuses to replace target order. Orders have been deleted. Eggminator going to full combat mode." Robotnic blinked and tensed. "Eggminator has terminated communication with main frame. Confirming, all contact with Eggminator has been lost."
Dr. Robotnic sat up in his chair and glared at the computer screen. "What. Show me the last location at once." Glaring at the blinking red dot near the edge of the green forest he clenched his hands. "Prepare Unit five for combat. The orders are to track down the hedgehog." Turning to face the two Shadow bots that had entered the room he pointed at a disk. "301 take that thing down to lab 10 and put into subject 3." Turning to the other Shadow bot he grinned cruelly. "And you 302. Come with me, we have a hedgehog to catch."
************
Bunny stared at the pink hedgehog sitting outside the house. She had been outside ever since they got back to the hut, jut sitting there, staring up into the leaves of the tree. Opening the door, she stepped out to talk with her. Walking up to her, she sat down and relaxed next to the hedgehog girl, trying to think of a way to start. "Amy?" Turning her eyes to face the girl she sighed and placed her hand on the shoulder and squeezed it. "Amy. Come inside. It's getting cold out here, you must be hungry too." As the pink hedgehog girl didn't answer her, she closed her eyes to fight back the tears starting. "Please Amy, Come inside. Don't do this to yourself. Don't hurt yourself over this."
The shoulder shook under her hand at the last words, opening her eyes she saw the girl lower her head slowly, a fresh tear forming in the green eye. Lifting the robotic limb, the pink hedgehog slammed it into the ground. "How? How did you handle it? I hate it. I can't feel anything, nothing. I use to freak out if I had to walk barefooted on the ground. Now I can't even feel it."
Bunny grimaced as she remembered her own feelings from back then. The self-loathing and denial of what she had become. The endless hours of sorrow she had gone through. Pulling the girl into a hug, she wiped away the tear forming. "I made it. Thanks to good friends. Now come on inside, I made pancakes for ya sugar-girl."
Amy gave a half smile as she allowed bunny to drag her into the house again. Feeling her stomach grumble at the though of food, she looked at the older girl "With maple syrup?" Maybe a little breakfast would take her mind away from the facts of her new life.
Bunny grinned at the hopeful voice she had grown use to hear. "As much as you want sugar-girl."
***********
The tree groaned painfully as a laser blast ripped through it, seconds later the upper part of it crashed into the ground. Dust arose from the ground as two blur blasted past the fallen tree and further into the forest. The sound of more laser blast could be heard in the distance, as the dust settled down onto the ground.
Sonic went into a spin and tore under a low hanging branch, behind him, the eggminator still followed him back towards the outer part of the Great Forest. All it had taken to lure it into following him was to attack it. Sonic snapped back from his inner thoughts as a laser blast passed him no more then a mere centimeter away from his left ear "That's it Robo-freak. Come and get me." Running in a zigzag pattern, he lured the root further away from knothole. Looking over his shoulder as the laser blasts stopped coming, he noticed the robot starting to head back the way they had come. "Oh no you don't." Roaring into a swing using the remains of an unfortunate tree, he headed back towards the robot; jumping into the air he slammed down onto the head of it, pushing it down. Jumping off at the last second, he grinned as it flew into the ground and plowed a trench through the ground.
Pulling itself up, the eggminator glared at the hedgehog, as well as a robot could glare at something. Running an inner check on all system, it moved sonic up from a mere class 3 threat to a class 1 threat. "Plasma blasters ready. Target Hedgehog. Terminate." Lifting its two blasters towards Sonic, it fired. The forest rang with the sound of several explosions. Dirt and tree's flew into the air from the force of the explosions.
Sonic barely ducked out of the way and growled as he speed towards the violent Robot intent on making a can opener out of it. "We'll see about that, ya walking trashcan." Closing in, He went into a spin dash again. Trying to brake through the tough Amour of the robot, proved useless and his spines turned re hot and started to smoke. "Man I'm gonna have to be Supersonic to break through that amour he wearing." Grinning he started another spin dash, aiming for the legs this time. "Let's see if your legs is a strong as your head"
************
Robotnic looked at Shadow Bot 203 as it stood up from the workbench. "Excellent. The Special upgrade hasn't slowed you down one bit. Now to the hover unit, we're going Robot hunting" Turning, he walked out of the lab with a sick laugh. 203 looked down at the large new weapon that replace his standard attack weapon. It would work well in the plan the doctor had come with to reclaim the Eggminator. Turing to view his master he began to walk after him. Shortly after, three hover units headed off towards the Great Forest at top speed.
***************
Sonic grimaced as he ducked the mechanical claws of the robot. It was really starting to get on his nerves. It had ducked, withstood or countered every one of his moves so far. And while he was tiring, it still kept coming at him. {Time for a new tactic. Let's see him handle this} Going into a sonic spin, he spun around the robot on the ground. Slowly, then faster, a twister formed from the movement of the blue hedgehog, sucking the robot in, tossing it around in the air, before throwing is into a nearby tree hard. The tree groaned and fell over from the force of the impact.
The tree fell down onto the Eggminator and for a second there was no noise except a few scared birds flying away. Then the tree began to shake before flying up and to the side. Standing under it, the Eggmintor held up one arm, lowering the arm slowly, its eyes glowed a bright red. "Target Hedgehog. Terminate later. Going to aerial combat mode." Slowly, the jet engine roared to life and lifted the robot up from the floor. Hovering a spilt second. It then shot up into the air. "Headed towards sector 12. Scan for target Amy Rose." Blasting off through the air, it left Sonic behind.
Sonic glared up. "Coward." Then he blasted after it on the ground. Zigzagging around the tree's he took every shortcut that he knew off. It didn't matter what, he had to get to knothole before that thing did. No way was that thing getting near Amy or any of the others he knew.
***************
Bunny looked down at Amy as they both walked through the great forest. It had been her idea that they went away from the small close quarters of that place, to give Amy some place to practice a better use of her new limbs. She could walk with them. But running and jumping seemed to give her problems, unless she was in a state of panic. Looking down at the half closed eyelids of the pink hedgehog, she put her arm around her shoulders to comfort her. "What's wrong Sugah?"
Amy looked up at her. "I remembered something last night. I remembered what happened." Breaking off. Amy looked away from the older girl and held her right hand up in front of her eyes. "I remembered the pain, the loss of feeling and his laughter." Taking a deep breath, Amy calmed down a little as she looked back at bunny "He laughed at my pain."
Bunny sighed and pulled her close. "Don't worry. We'll get him for ya. You know, he did the same when I was robotiziced." Sitting down on the ground, she motioned for Amy to do the same. "Not many knows this, but I still get nightmares about it. I can remember the cold robots hands forcing me into the machine and then, the feeling of air moving as the glass door closed." Holding Amy's left hand up with her own mechanical one, she smiled. "I still remember the pain from that night."
"Well isn't this nice. A little bonding session between rodents." Both Amy and Bunny spun around and gasped as they saw the one person that were responsible for the metallic parts of their bodies. Dr. Robotnic grinned at the two. "I can't believe how lucky I am. I go looking for the eggminator, and find the two incomplete worker bots I want to finish." As the doctor spoke, several Shadow Bots came up into the clearing. "If you ladies would as kind as to tell me where Knothole is. Then I promise I'll make the robotizing process as painless as I can."
Bunny moved in front of Amy. "Forget it Robotnic." Moving one eye towards Amy she gave a small grin. "Okay Sugah-girl. When I give the signal, you run for the hideout as fast as you can." Turning to face Robotnic, she silently cursed. {Guess its time for me to become a complete bot instead of just a cyborg.}
Amy looked up at Bunny with a scared look on her face before she reminded herself that she wanted to be stronger and help the others. "No way." Looking at Robotnic with a glare, she moved to bring out her oversized mallet. She may not know that much about fighting, but she would at least be able to take down at least one of these robots. "I'm not going to leave you behind Bunny."
Robotnic looked from one to the other before he lifted a hand to gain their attention. "How charming ladies. But I hold all of the cards. There's no way you can win this." Stepping to the side, he made room for Shadow Bot 302 as it lifted its right arm and fired a net at the girls. "Well done 203. I knew that upgrade would come in handy for this part." Turning to face the two struggling in the net, and giving of small screams and yelps as it glowed blue with electricity, he sneered. "And you, little hedgehog, you're lucky that you're vital to my plan."
Amy and Bunny glared at him from inside the net. "What are you talking about you creep?" The words were followed by a yelp from Amy as she felt the net give her and Bunny a weak electric shock as she move. "Hey that hurt?"
Robotnic laughed as he motioned for Shadow bots to load the two into one of the hover units. "Why. I'm going to use you two in a trap to lure Sonic and my latest creation, the Eggminator, back to Robotropolis. Once there I'm going to regain control over it and use it to destroy Sonic and the rest of the freedom fighters." Laughing loudly as the robot moved to load the two into the side of the ship. He stopped when he heard a very familiar sound coming towards them. It was the sound of Sonic moving at Super Sonic Speed "What the, the hedgehog, here?" Robotnic spun around to see a blue blur stop at the edge of the clearing. "Sonic!" The word dripped with hate and as he heard it, Sonic grinned in response to it and started to move towards the net. "GET HIM, GET THE HEDGEHOG!!" Forgetting everything else, Robotnic pointed at the hated Hedgehog and felt his anger as the hedgehog started to battle the Shadow Bots.
"Target Amy Rose found. 2 seconds to termination." The Eggminator made a perfect landing on the top of the hover unit. "Compensating for other objects." The sound of a plasma blaster moving into firing position filled the small clearing as the Eggminator went into combat mode. Eyes blazing, the Eggminator targeted the net held by Shadow Bot 203.
