Metal Heart~ chapter 7

Reluctant

Sonic must've grumbled about it the whole way. "I swear! I can make him be good!" he told Sally again. Sally shook her head. "It's too risky, Sonic. If he IS on our side, he'll help us when we're in Robotropolis." Sonic sighed. To him, it wasn't fair. Tails was a little kid who did not deserve to be left in a horrible city like this one, metal or not.

"Sal, c'mon," Sonic pleaded. "Have a heart, will ya?" He slowed his pace to a walk and kept alongside Bunnie and Princess Sally. Sally ignored him. She wasn't going to put up with Sonic or his dangerous idea. Bunnie was firmly holding onto Mecha Tails so that he couldn't escape. Even still, he was struggling and fighting, trying to free himself.

"Calm down, yah little muffin, I ain't gonna hurtcha," she said to him.

"I doubt he's listening, Bunnie," Sally said stiffly. She kept walking. Bunnie paused briefly and tightened her metal grip around Tails' waist. It wasn't hurting him any; he was made of metal just like half of Bunnie was.

Sonic was getting more reluctant. "I know that he can help us...But do we have to leave him?"

"Sonic, he's a ROBOT," Sally replied, her tone hard. "We have to." She walked on ahead. Sonic frowned slightly.

"What do you suppose crawled up her back today?" Sonic asked.

"Ah got no idea, sugah-hog," Bunnie told him. "Ughhh, stay still a minute, wouldja, yah little metal angel?!!" She closed her grip on Tails with such a force, a loud clank of metal on metal sounded. "Sugah-hog, the little muffin just don't wanna stay still a minute..."

Sonic managed to touch Mecha Tails gently on the shoulder as he thrashed to free himself from Bunnie's grip. "Tails, calm down. Bunnie will put you down soon." Though he didn't stop fighting, he didn't fight as hard, and Bunnie managed to keep her hold.

After fifteen minutes of walking, the reched the main part of Robotropolis. Bunnie set Mecha Tails down and he immediatly moved away about ten feet. Sonic sighed. He obviously wanted no part in being near the Freedom Fighters, but at least he'd be alright...Uncle Chuck was here.

But still, this hurt Sonic deep down...Tails wanted to be away from the Freedom Fighters.
