Fusing of Metal
Disclaimer: Sonic team and Sega own all the characters, except Fistika and the Beta life form, who both seem to be dead, or are they? (Random laugh)
Metal Knuckles and the Tails doll both stood in front of Ultra Metal Sonic. They were two machines made by Eggman with Metal Sonic based circuits. Metal Knuckles was stronger than Metal Sonic with gliding power, but slower and not as experienced. the Tails doll could float and really freak people out. (He looks so... creepy...) Their potential was high, but after the grand prix Eggman tested them in, he shut them down. They had seen something he didn't want them to see. Like Metal Sonic they both had free will, so what they had saw must have given them reason to revolt. Ultra Metal Sonic admired the two. Nack stood near by.
"So, metal boy, I believe you have a few emeralds for me." Ultra Metal Sonic didn't look up.
"Sonic destroyed everything, sit tight, I'll get you your emeralds." He flipped a switch on Metal Knuckles. Metal Knuckles' eye lit up even more. He looked around confused. He looked up at Ultra Metal Sonic. He analysed him. Subject: Metal Sonic. Ultra Metal Sonic suddenly nodded. "Yes, I have advanced my own body, brother." Ultra Metal Sonic awoke the Tails doll. "Now, I have betrayed the doctor, who shut you both down. We can rule this world now, but first things first, what did you see which made Eggman shut you down?" Metal Knuckles looked at Ultra Metal Sonic for a moment, Ultra Metal Sonic reacted as if he had talked. "He never actually used them. Yes brothers, I was correct in believing it could be used." The Tails doll walked towards Ultra Metal Sonic. Ultra Metal Sonic nodded again. "I have wireless connectivity, give me a minute." The three robots all stood around for a minute. Nack looked around aimlessly.
"Errr, metal boy's." Metal Knuckles turned around.
"What?" Ultra Metal Sonic laughed. Metal Knuckles felt his throat. "So this is my voice, nice." His voice sounded gritty, like a deeper version of Metal Sonic's.
"My isn't as good." Complained the Tails doll, in a more robotic voice than the others, but with a hint of Tails in it. Nack gave a sarcastic look.
"So you can just download voices into them?"
"Thank god for Eggman's idiot proof technology." Ultra Metal Sonic remarked, in answer to his question. Nack rolled his eyes. Metal Knuckles turned back to Ultra Metal Sonic.
"Anyway, I saw what Eggman was making, at the time it was a scientific impossibility, but if my assumption on the bounds of technology humans have made in these few years..." Metal Knuckles looked at Ultra Metal Sonic specifically when he said that. "He knew if you were to know of the replacement he was making for you, you would, well, do what you have done anyway." The Tails doll nodded in agreement. Ultra Metal Sonic thought for a minute.
"It is still a scientific impossibility to make it to Eggman's original design," Ultra Metal Sonic had used his wireless connection to look at a picture of the blueprints Metal Knuckles had saved in his data. "But if we were to insert a host body for the machine, it could be finished."
"Who would be strong enough to give the machine life? This isn't a mere badnik!" The Tails doll argued.
"No one, but I know of two people strong enough. The blue echidna and him." Ultra Metal Sonic pointed at the Beta life form. Metal Knuckles kicked the Beta life form.
"He's still alive, barely. Fistika however..."
"Is alive."
Shadow sat on a chair, tossing a ball into the air repeatedly. Omega was playing chess with a computer, and was winning. Sonic and friends had all finished celebrating there victory and gone home. Shadow now resided in one of the old bases Eggman made. Omega also lived here with him. Omega put the computer into chess mate, which made a picture of Eggman appear on the screen and accused Omega of cheating. Omega turned off the computer. Shadow spun the ball on his finger. Omega walked over to Shadow.
"Scanners detect abnormality, Shadow, is your health efficient?" Shadow let the ball drop.
"What? I'm fine." Omega looked at Shadow for a while.
"Scanner still detects abnormality, scanner check... scanners working at optimum efficiently." Shadow shrugged.
"No clue what it is." Omega inspected Shadow; he looked in Shadow's mouth, eyes and listened to his heartbeat. Omega nodded to himself.
"Traces of a liquid drug, which can dull areas of the brain." Shadow gave Omega a confused look. Suddenly it hit him.
"Omega, could the drug be placed with lasers or something?"
"Affirmative." Shadow placed a hand on his forehead.
"It's that thing G.U.N used to get rid of my soul. It's still in there?" Omega nodded. "Then why aren't I killing people, shouting 'Hail G.U.N'?"
"Your body is fighting the drug, however, it can't fight it forever." Shadow swore. Omega remained emotionless. Shadow turned to Omega.
"We need to find a cure, I don't want to be trying to kill Amy again." Omega didn't respond. "Omega, what is it?" Shadow stared at Omega.
"A drug can't be cured. Example: nicotine, stays in body forever." Shadow swore again. "It might pass through circulation, possibly." Omega claimed, trying to sound positive. Shadow slumped into his chair. It seemed that G.U.N knew how to keep Shadow under there control, despite an occasional fight against there drug.
"So, what can we do?" Shadow asked.
"Possibilities: none." Shadow let his mind drift to Amy. He was going to have to tell her, but would he have to leave her? Yes, it was the only way to keep her safe. Wait, he would still go after her if G.U.N asked, it would help nothing. Shadow walked out of the base. "I'll look for a way." claimed Omega. Shadow smiled.
"Be better than Eggman's patented chess game."
Chaos stood guard over the master emerald. Knuckles had been gone for a while now. Chaos didn't mind. He was in existence for this kind of thing. Chaos suddenly became alert. He looked around. He raised his fists ready. He felt a tap on his shoulder. He span around. Before he could react Chaos was knocked out. Nack had hit him around the head with the rear of his shotgun. Nack placed the gun on his back and called over the three robots. Ultra Metal Sonic flew over to Nack, the Tails doll and Metal Knuckles floated forwards at a leisurely pace. Nack turned to Ultra Metal Sonic.
"Why here anyway? Wouldn't somewhere without Knuckles be better?" Ultra Metal Sonic looked at the ground around the shrine.
"Who can ask for more than twenty four hour protection? Besides, if he would the place, only I know how to enter." Nack walked up to the master emerald. Nack looked back at Ultra Metal Sonic hopefully. "No Nack,we need as little proof we were here as possible. I only let you knock out Chaos because he can't talk and tell Knuckles or anyone else about our presence." Nack sadly left the shrine. Ultra Metal Sonic raised his hand. The shrine began to tremble, Nack looked around his feet worryingly, and while the three robots showed no emotion. The shrine began to move upwards. The land was trembling more viciously now. Nack lost his balance and fell. Underneath the shrine a large metal cylinder was appearing. The ground around the shrine was crumbling slightly. Ultra Metal Sonic nodded, as if agreeing to his own power. Soon the shrine stopped moving. Ultra Metal Sonic walked up to the metal cylinder and studied its smooth surface. He placed his hand on an area, which looked as if it was of no importance. The metal cylinder began to open. Ultra Metal Sonic looked back at his comrades. "Fifteen years and it still works like a charm." Smoke poured out of the cylinder (As smoke does). Metal Knuckles walked forwards and examined a container in the cylinder. It was connected to life support systems and such stuff. He wiped some dust of the glass to see the content inside. Ultra Metal Sonic pressed a few buttons on a control pad and watched as the container began to open. A grunt emitted from within. The container opened completely. A blue echidna stumbled out. He was taller than Knuckles. He looked around the place with his green pupil, and his other eye, which had no pupil, his blind eye. He looked at Nack, then Metal Knuckles, Ultra Metal Sonic and finally the Tails doll. In a rough voice he talked.
"Where the hell am I?" He fell over. Ultra Metal Sonic picked him up.
"Takes a lot out of someone to lose a large amount of chaos energy, then be linked to this mess for fifteen years, but don't worry, Fistika is still good for our plan." Metal Knuckles and Nack nodded in agreement. The Tails doll just stared. Ultra Metal Sonic felt a chill down his spin. Creepy robotic Tails. The five of them left the cylinder. Ultra Metal Sonic lowered his hand. The cylinder slid back into the earth. Unlike when it rose it went back down fast. Metal Knuckles turned to Ultra Metal Sonic.
"The Base Eggman was holding the project in was west of here. We can reach it in a hour, hour and a half." Ultra Metal Sonic nodded. The three of the four allies boarded stolen Egg-o-matics, courtesy of Nack. In the back of the Tails doll's Egg-o-matic was an unconscious Beta life form. Ultra Metal Sonic flew in front of them. His hour was nigh.
One hour, five minutes later. In a deserted looking town. Metal Knuckles lead his partners into a bar called 'the egg and scotch'. He went through some doors, until he reached a wall. Metal Knuckles pressed the wallpaper; it flipped upwards, revealing an elevator door. The six (three robots, two unconscious, one weasel) entered. They waited patiently as they travelled to a floor simply called X in the lift. After five minutes the doors opened onto a silver corridor. Metal Knuckles lead the rest through the corridor. He passed many doors. On each was the name of some unfinished idea of Eggman's. Egg-lord, Mangabot V.2, Metal Amy, Egg-reaper, Sally Acorn and Destructernik were a few to mention. Ultra Metal Sonic chuckled to himself about the stupidity of some of the names. Nack was grumbling as he dragged the Beta life form along. He thought over if this was too much to do for an unlimited supply of emeralds to sell. Nah, but still, shouldn't one of them carry the Beta life form, there the robots! Everyone ignored Nack's constant grumbling. Metal Knuckles started checking the doors' names himself. Soon he stopped in front of one on the right. Ultra Metal Sonic, Nack and the Tails doll all stood around him. On the door was a simple inscription: M.S.3
