There! I fixed it for you, dude. It's MECHA TAILS, not Metal Tails*

chapter4-Battle of Mecha Tails
Three days later, Sonic's spirit had definatly at least partially returned. He found himself in Robotropolis again, helping provide a distraction for Princess Sally as she looked for a power supply to shut down the city.
"Come and get me, bolt brain!" Sonic jeered at a SWATbot. "Didn't ya ever learn its no fair to use guns in a game of tag?" He laughed, and ran away a little then turned back and performed a sonic-spin, breaking the 'bot to pieces. There. That had about cleared the area of robots for now. "Whew. Sure is easy destroyin' a bunch o' the old metal heads with the systems down even a bit."
Sonic smiled confidently and turned to the direction Sally had left in minutes before. But the last thing he had expected happened. He ran right into Mecha Tails.
"Tails!" Sonic gasped. The robotosized fox stared coldly and blankly at him. The orange metal of his body was highly visible even in the dim light of Robotropolis. His dual metal tails were pointed and fatal-looking. Somehow, Sonic expected part of Tails to still be there, and slowly he reached out for Mecha Tails' hand. He wanted to tell Tails he was sorry. But before Sonic's hand touched that of Mecha Tails, the robot pulled his hand from reach. Then Sonic saw the lazer wrist he had.
He stood a surprised step backward. Mecha Tails had a gun?! No...Tails wouldn't hurt Sonic...would he? No, Tails wouldn't. But this was Mecha Tails and he was different. He was a robot. Sonic didn't know what to do. Part of him said to go and blast him to bits, and the other part of him said not to because mecha or not, that was still Tails.
Sonic just stood there a moment. Without warning, Mecha Tails fired a lazer shot at Sonic, who managed to get out of the way. Sonic tore off. He wasn't going to fight Tails no matter what. He couldn't.
Mecha Tails lifted off the ground and flew after him, using his two tails. He couldn't tire out and he flew much better than he did when he was just a normal little fox. Sonic saw that he was being followed. Mecha Tails certainly didn't want to give up.
"Where did Sally go?" Sonic thought. "How the heck am I supposed to get it so Mecha Tails will leave me alone long enough to sonic-speed myself around the city and find her?"
Mecha Tails fired several shots at Sonic, all of which missed.
"Tails, give up!" Sonic shouted. The robot heeded him. Sonic sighed. "I thought I was gonna have to fight him for a sec there..."
He stopped his running pace and looked behind himself. All clear. CLUNK. Sonic turned forward again. Mecha Tails had just landed in front of him. Sonic frowned. "Tails, I don't have TIME to play around here." He knew that Tails wouldn't listen to him, but warnings were fair play. Mecha Tails raised his lazer wrist to be level with Sonic's chest. He stood there so long making precision on the shot, Sonic actually believed he wouldn't fire. But he did. Sonic barely jumped out of the way and he got an indirect hit to the shoulder. Tails fired again, then repeatedly. Sonic felt a feeling of betrayal. But he knew Tails wasn't in control of himself.
The battle began. Sonic tried to just avoid at first. Tails didn't give up. He just flew right on ahead, shooting at Sonic from the sky.
"Don't play cheap!" Sonic cried. "ITS PITIFUL! Play the game by the rules or don't play at all!"
Mecha Tails again landed in front of Sonic. Sonic felt a rising annoyance building up inside himself. He had a longing to smash the robot to bits. Mecha Tails just stared at him. His eyes were demonically looking right at Sonic, never blinking or faulting in expression. Sonic stood still.
WHUMP!!! Mecha Tails suddenly forced Sonic down. Sonic knew it now. The thought he dreaded to think. He would have to fight back or die. "Sorry, ace, I'm not gonna let you kill me," Sonic whispered. He forcefully threw Tails off off him and he hit a nearby building hard. Sonic stood up. Mecha Tails was motionless a moment, then leapt back to his feet. The city was getting dark now as dusk settled in. Tails' red glowing eyes were visable. He had no way to speak anymore. As a robot he had no mouth, no speakers, nothing. In the silence he just stood plotting a move. He jumped at Sonic, spinning his dual metal tails to lift offf and landed lightly behind him. Tails ran back at Sonic, trying to force him down again. Sonic knew what he was doing.
"I know what you're going to pull on me," Sonic said. "You're going to throw me down, beat me up and hope I don't try to do something about it!!!" He ran out of Tails' way and Tails turned back at him. Sonic frowned at his former ally. "That's no good. You aren't gettin' anywhere with that move."
Mecha Tails seemed to nod, then flew up into the darkened sky. Sonic looked up. There was no sign of anything. Had Mecha Tails given up? Sonic set his sights on finding Sally again. She'd probably be leaving soon though, being as Sonic was being so slow about finding her.
Sonic took two steps forward. THUD! Mecha Tails landed on top of him forcefully. His metal hands dug into Sonic's shoulders as he pinned him down. His heavy metal body lay heavily on Sonic, and he was nearly crushing the hedgehog. Sonic knew he would have to do something now or lose his life because he was afraid to hurt someone he loved. Mecha Tails put his left hand on Sonic's throught, slowly closing his grip. Sonic prepared his move as the death grip slowly tightened.
There was a sick noise like a saw on metal. Sonic did a sonic spin and leapt back to his standing position. Mecha Tails was thrown off him like before. Sonic couldn't control himself. He'd fought off robots so many times. Something inside him asked why this robot was so different. Uncontrollably, Sonic jumped at Mecha Tails and shoved him against a wall. Tails kicked him down. Sonic immediatly did a quick jump up then performed sonic tornado. Again, he got Tails against the wall. He pinned him down hard, and hit the robot against the wall as hard as he could afew times. Then something inside him remembered.
That robot was Tails.
Mecha Tails sunk down to a sitting position. He'd been thrown around too much. There was a noticable dent in his shoulder where Sonic had pushed him so hard against the wall. The red lights in his eyes blinked out. Sonic felt sick. He had just beat up a friend. Or at least, what used to be a friend. The robot's system had shut down temporarily for internal structure check and maybe afew internal auto-repairs. Sonic looked at what he had done. If Tails weren't a robot, all those dents would be damage to bones and he would be bruised and bleeding, not to mention unconscious. Pity struck.
Sonic walked over and lifted the little fox robot into his arms. He was heavy since he was metal, but Sonic was sure he could manage. He knew Robotnik was not going to repair Mecha Tails. He never repaired anyone that used to be important to Sonic, like his friends.
"So," Sonic thought. "I find Sally, we go home, and the repairs are up to Rotor."
