Metal Heart~
chapter5-For Hatred or Love
Sally objected to Sonic hundreds of times on the way home. She told him it was too risky to bring ANY robot back to Knothole, former friend or not. That, and she told him about the spots he was bleeding from many times aswell. Sonic ignored her for once. He cared more about saving his friend right now...
Sonic raced to Rotor. "Rotor!!! You have to help me, please!" The blood from his wounded shoulder had dripped all down his arm and desperation shone in his eyes. In his arms, he still cradled the shut-down robot fox. Rotor jumped backward in surprise. "You have to be joking, Sonic!" he cried. "That's one of Robotnik's robots!!! You're gonna get us all caught!!! Are you nuts?!!!"
Tears were in Sonic's eyes. "Rotor, look at him. This isn't one of Robotnik's clunkers. This used to be Tails." Rotor looked at the robot a moment. It looked as though his heart had sunk. "Sonic, if I help him, Robotnik might find us. I know it's Tails, but he's..."
"A robot?" Sonic finished. "You think I care any less for him 'cause he's made of metal? It doesn't mean that deep inside he has a metal heart, does it?! Rotor, c'mon..."
Rotor sighed. "I- I guess I can't argue with you, Sonic. Your love is stronger than my voice..." He beckoned Sonic to come with him. Sonic nodded once almost curtly and followed.
Rotor set to work on Mecha Tails, doing the best he could. After five hours of effort, Rotor at last booted Mecha Tails' system to life. This wasn't exactly a good thing. Mecha Tails sprung to life, immediatly setting his lock-on lazer on Sonic. Rotor jumped out of the way. "Remind me again why you wanted him fixed?" Rotor asked nervously as Tails edged himself a little closer with his lazer.
"Can it, Rotor," Sonic growled. "He might be acting a little weird but---"
"A LITTLE WEIRD?!!" Rotor cried. "He's gonna go nuts!"
"Look, I don't care! Damn, it's still Tails."
Mecha Tails looked at Sonic loathingly and made a move back in that direction.
Sonic tried to reason. What a stupid idea.
"Tails, there's no reason to get violent," he began in vain. Tails lunged at him. Sonic side-stepped the attack, and Mecha Tails hit the floor hard in a face-plant. Now he was getting angry. Sonic just tried to stay out of the way. If he resorted to attack, then he'd surely kill the robot this time around.
Mecha Tails got up and walked over to Sonic so slowly Sonic could've sworn that he wasn't going to do anything. like earlier that day, he was wrong. With one 360 spin, Tails sent his double tails around like dual blades, narrowly missing Sonic.
Now there was no choice.
"Fight to the death," Sonic thought. "Why does it have to come to this?"
