Red now sat there staring at the body of the girl he once held in his arms. The girl he attempted to protect against the demon. He stared at the partially destroyed body of this girl, his eyes half closed as the rain fell on his head, one could see tears flowing from his eyes. Oddly enough, you could even see them even in the rain. Red's clothes were now covered in mud, ripped and dirty, for he was kneeling down next to the girl with both knees buried deep in the mud, thunder crackled as a flash back of the scream flashed in front of Reds eyes.

"So it's true..." Red said aloud as thunder echoed wildly in the sky. "There was nothing I could have done to save my family after all." Red said as he stared at the body of the little girl. "Even if I would have been there on time, even if I knew the bots were coming..." More thunder now echoed in the skies as Reds name could be heard being yelled at from another location. Though it all seemed to echo in Reds mind as he remembered his family, how they were taken, and the look on their faces as Red stared at a SWAT-bot in the face... Shaking him?

"LET ME GO!" Red yelled as he pushed himself off of Mac, taking his gun and aiming it at Mac's face, trembling as he suddenly realized where he was.

"What the hell happened here?!" Mac asked as he stared at the guns barrel. "Put that away I'm not the enemy!!" Mac said as he looked horrified, staring at the girls body.

"Mac I tried to save her... but he killed her anyway" Red replied as he stared. Mac on the other hand closed his eyes for a while, and then looked away as he spoke towards red now calmly.

"You were just sitting there like in a trance... Took me a while to wake you up" Mac said as he could be seen holding something in his arms. Lightning revealed the body of a White Fox, an Arctic fox to be exact.

"Who is that?" Red asked, squinting at the water falling on his face, and the winds hitting him hard on his face, it seemed this storm was more of a tropical one, and it was strong.

"He received a bad flesh wound, but I closed it with my laser, he should be ok... I don't know his name yet though." Mac spoke as he looked up at the violent storm. He scanned the area around him and found a house that was amazingly still in tact, though it didn't have any bedrooms, the only part of the house not spared was the rooms.

"Come on Red, we need to find Shelter... We can continue on tomorrow." Mac said as He began walking away, Red still sat there staring at the girl, Red then slowly stood back up and picked up his weapon, sheathing it. Red then approached the girl, and sent her his blessings.

"I am truly sorry..." Red spoke as he turned around and followed Mac, Spotting the only home that had light emitting from it.

Meanwhile, Back in Robotropolis, heavy metallic footprints could be heard; they were odd, clicking and a loud thud with every step. Circuit entered Robotnik's chamber now, easily opening one of the large double doors, finding Robotnik in his workstation, oddly enough for once, his nephew Snively was nowhere to be found. Circuit had previously received a call from Robotnik telling him to come to his chamber before arriving to the wife and child of Blade. He had arrived inside the chamber now... seeing Blade on the consoles in front of Robotnik, according to the information Tab below... he would arrive within the next 15 minutes, and giving him time to get to the main building... it would add up to a full twenty minutes.

"Robotnik... I am here... what is it?" Circuit asked as he stared at Robotnik curious as to why he was summoned.

"I need you to kill Blade as well... " Robotnik Spoke as he stared at Blade walking back to Robotropolis through his screen, The rain hitting him hard, only his glowing blue eyes could be seen sinisterly staring back at the cameras.

"He is too powerful for me to defeat, but I estimate you can kill him... after all you are better than any Organic being on this earth... with the exception of me of course since it was my great mind that created you." Robotnik spoke as Circuit looked at Blade and smirked, one could tell by the way Circuits eyes were shaped.

"I thought he was on our side..." Circuit asked.

"I made a deal with him; He was to kill everyone I wanted... I told him to kill the entire town, yet he left Red and Mac alive." Robotnik spoke.

"Red and Mac?" Circuit asked curiously.

"Yes, those two you were supposed to retrieve from the Mobian jungle a few weeks ago." Robotnik spoke. "Program Circuit 001-100, all of the information should be there."

Circuit quickly accessed those files and saw the picture of Red and Mac. Next to it was information on them, it read.

"Interesting File on Red... 25 of him is unknown to us... why?" Circuit asked as he read the remaining information. "He seems like a normal Mobian to me"

"Watch the video I'm sending you and you'll know what I mean." Robotnik said as he sent Circuit the video of Red's father, Circuit merely stood amazed at this as he watched the demon attack those Swat-bots in the Mobian jungle.

"This is rather interesting... " Circuit spoke as he finished viewing the feed; he then scrolled down on to the next file.

Wanted: Alive

"Why do you need Mac alive, sir mind me asking?" Circuit asked as he turned to Robotnik once more, Robotnik merely sat in his chair typing some commands into his computer. "Or Red for that matter?"

"Red's father stole something very important from me, a Micro Chip of great value to me; it contains massive amounts of information on how to create a more advanced type of A.I. It even manages to surpass your system programming." Robotnik said as he stood and walked towards Circuit.

"You could own a copy of that software if only I could get my hands on that chip once more. The day we killed Red we couldn't find the baby OR the chip anywhere. Until one day one of my scout bots picked up a dark silhouette of a hedgehog with long quills near the Mobian Jungle, it was only by chance that we ran into Red that day." Robotnik spoke as he saw Blade on the screen now inside the city.

"I take it this baby you speak of is Red, and you believe he has the chips..." Circuit said as he stared back at Robotnik.

"Yes, as for Mac... He was supposed to be a new Type of robot, one that could multitask, from maintenance in the factories, to fighting against the Freedom Fighters in their gorilla warfare. He can find a fly on the other side of the city, and kill it as well with his long range lasers. Only thing is... if he is half biological..."

"He isn't as reliable as a robot, or as precise." Circuit finished for Robotnik as Robotnik laughed.

"Very True Circuit... That's why I need to finish his Roboticization. Only then will I be able to have my soldier." Robotnik finished as Circuit looked confused and jealous.

"Why not simply re-do the same orders on the Roboticizer?" Circuit asked.

"Because I have no living record of the complete roboticization, I need to finish where I left off so the Roboticizer can finish where it left off... till then all I get are worker bots. The system is quite delicate." Robotnik finished as he turned to a flashing light on his console, activating it, one could see Snively.

"Sir... Blade has entered the facility and is on his way up... you don't have much time." Snively said as Robotnik nodded and switched the console off, turning to Circuit.

"Enough chatting... Go get Blades family right now before he arrives."

"As you wish Robotnik..." Circuit said as he walked out, heading toward the Jail room the captives were residing.

"go have a little catwalk on the roof top of this building... DON'T FORGET TO RECCORD IT ALL CIRCUIT!" Robotnik spoke as the doors of the chamber closed. Circuit merely stopped and turned his com-link on.

"Record it sir... but why?" Circuit asked.

"I want Blade to see this... I want to hit him where it hurts before he dies." Robotnik spoke as he laughed.

"So I show him the video before he dies then?" Circuit asked now curious still.

"Yes... now go take care of business." Robotnik spoke as it seemed that the conversation had angered him.

"As you wish my Lord." Circuit spoke as he now closed the link and walked on, though as he looked at the timer witch had the estimated time on Blades arrival to the main building, he quickly ran down the hall, as he ran he turned a corner and kept going forward. He soon emerged inside the jail cell compound, He passed cell after cell of what seemed to be defeated freedom fighters. Some seemed weak others were fearful, a few were being raped and tortured by roboticized Robots, and others were simply and undeniably dead.

Circuit finally approached the jail cell containing Blade's family. Circuit began recording.

"Get up!" Circuit ordered as he read their Bios. "Cynthia and Daniel was it?".

"W-why W-we merely--" Cynthia said hugging her child as Circuit Interrupted.

"I SAID GET THE FUCK UP!" Circuit yelled as he backhanded Cynthia into a wall, grabbing Daniel by the neck, and aiming a blaster at his head. "GET UP NOW OR HE DIES!"

Cynthia now knew what was to happen and stood; Circuit merely walked behind her and kicked her out of the cell, still holding Daniel.

"Walk, and once were out, take a left down the hallway to the elevators!" Circuit ordered. "Try anything and he won't even get the chance to scream for his mother."

"A-are we going d-down?" Cynthia asked in hope, though Circuit merely began laughing as he used his hand to bash Daniel's face, breaking off his front teeth.

"No you wench, were going up... say anything else and I swear Ill cut this snot nose kids fingers off! Now move!" Circuit yelled as Cynthia walked on. They soon stopped in a hallway and did as they were told, finally emerging in front of an elevator. Circuit threw Daniel hard against the elevator ground, Cynthia walked over to aid her son but Circuit merely punched her into a wall, and then gripped on her arm hard, crushing it bit by bit, one could hear her muscles contracting, and her bones crackling Cynthia screaming as Circuit finished crushing and breaking her arm in two. Circuit now stood and with one swift kick, broke Daniel's leg with his foot, crushing it as well, their screams were now loud though soon became whimpers. Circuit kept the doors open now, knowing that down the hall, Blade was going to enter. Sure enough, he did a few minutes later and froze at the sight he saw.

"CIRCUIT WHATS THE MEANING OF THIS!!" Blade yelled as Circuit Chuckled, Blade now began to charge his arm.

"No no no, if you hit me, you electrocute them!" Circuit said as Blade soon stopped and stared "THERE WERE SURVIVORS IN THE TOWN BLADE, THE DEAL'S OFF!!" Circuit yelled as Blade ran for the elevator, though by the time he got there the doors closed. He quickly looked up and saw they were headed to the roof top, he looked around and saw the stairs, quickly and frantically began to run up towards the roof.

"no no No NO NO!!!" Blade yelled as tears fell from his eyes though he continued running as fast as he could... Blade could hear the elevator going up right next to him as the loud hum emitted from the corner of the square Silo he was in. Blade could hear the screams and yells of his wife and child begging for their lives. Suddenly the noise of scissors was now heard, followed by a scream, it was Circuit stabbing one of Cynthia's legs, while kicking the child, and slashing light cuts all over his back. Blade was now angry and began to move, though soon tripped, and fell hard, he could now hear the elevator continued heading up, screams and all, leaving him behind.

"NO DAMN IT!!" Blade cried as he got up and did his best to catch up, although he had taken too long to stand back up, and he began to realize he might not make it in time.

Meanwhile, the elevator doors opened. Circuit now dragged the weak battered and bloody bodies of Cynthia and Daniel out of the elevator.

"Why are you doing this!!" Cynthia begged as Circuit kicked the side of her stomach, breaking her lower left ribs.

"Because I can." Circuit replied as he kicked Cynthia in the same spot again, throwing Cynthia against the ground, slamming her against the brick wall edge. He then activated his boosters and flew at Cynthia, slamming his fist on her face, then grabbing on to her neck, he then flew at Daniel and did the same, also knocking him out.

Circuit then grabbed Cynthia and Daniel by the neck, and raised them, holding them in the air as Circuit outstretched his arms to either side. Flying off the ground as he floated above the building; he soon flew toward the edge, as Cynthia began to awaken, grabbing on to Circuits Arm for self-support. Blade now quickly ran out into the roof top, staring at Circuit as he hovered there. Immediately a holographic screen appeared to the side, Robotnik on it, another small holographic screen appeared, showing what Circuit had been recording.

"We had a deal blade, why did you leave survivors!?" Robotnik glared as the recording of Red and Mac looking for Survivors appeared.

"I KILLED THAT RED FREAK!!" Blade yelled in the rain. As the recording of what Circuit had done plaid, Blade saw the whole thing and grew angry as hell as he looked back at Circuit.

"CIRCUIT, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR THIS!!" Blade screamed as he stared at him. Circuit merely looked to his left, seeing Cynthia had awoken, he then looked to his right and saw Daniel was awake too, spitting out teeth as blood ran down his leg...dripping.

"Heh, I'm only following orders Blade... you know how it is. After all, you win some you lose some... guess this time... you lose..." Circuit said casually as he felt the kid squirm a bit. The wife on the other hand woke up and grunted as she held herself up by holding on to Circuit's arm. She then saw blade standing there as she opened her mouth.

"Raphael... I love you and forgi--!" Cynthia said as she gasped for air. Circuit had now extracted his wrist blade, stabbing Cynthia in the stomach interrupting her, the kid still in Circuits hand, seeing what had happened from close up, getting his face splattered with blood.

"Cynthia... I thought I told you TO SHUT THE FUCK UP--!!" Circuit yelled as he twisted the blade, opening the wound and splattering more blood on the kids face. Circuit now bent his sword and aimed it down, The body sliding down softly as the child held on to her mother, Circuit merely let the child go, then sliced him in half as he fell.

"--Or the Kid dies..." Circuit finished as he laughed. Blade merely ran for the edge of the roof top, seeing his wife's limp body fall into the abyss below, a heart beat could be heard echoing as everything went silent for Blade... He merely got to the edge of the roof top and reached for his family... Soon darkness from below overtook them and they disappeared from view. Blade screamed loudly as he reached for his family, tears now shedding from his eyes. Looking up at Circuit, his eyes had now begun to glow Blue once more, Blade's body changing, as Circuit stared, already in a fighting stance.

"You can't kill me Blade... You are an Organic and Obsolete!" Circuit said as Blade screamed or growled in a different voice.

"MISSION ONE COMPLETE" Circuit yelled as he laughed and launched himself at Blade. Blade simply stared into the darkness, sobbing softly for a moment... as Circuit flies in backhanding him hard against the wall.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE SURE THEY WERE DEAD, You broke the deal, now you're going to die with them!" Circuit said as he punched Blade hard, and then kicked him to the side, causing him to slide and crash against one of the walls. Circuit now extracted his Blades, and slowly began approaching Blade.

"You forget that I am ten times more powerful than you will ever be, I have scanned your abilities, I even know you have hidden ones, and even then I can surpass you in power!" Circuit yelled as the rain fell, a trail of blood behind Circuit as he walked forward for the rain cleaned his blades.

"That Wench deserved to die anyway, and so did that Stupid insignificant Child. TELL ME BLADE, Could you be able to hold your son, KNOWING HOW MUCH BLOOD THOSE HANDS HAD TOUCHED!?!" Circuit screamed as he laughed. Thunder hit the Lightning rod at the top of the building. Something odd though began to occur. Blade's sobs seemed to start to change after a few seconds, slowly turning into an insane laughter. Blade's body began glowing blue, a demonic aura filling the air around them as he stood. Blade turned and looked at Circuit, his eyes filled with a blue hellfire that didn't seem to have an end. The water from the rain on the ground instantly burst into steam, the rain above them bursting into steam before it even got close to the roof top.

"You know Circuit you two timing bastard, I should thank you... You just killed the only two things that had Blade holding me back." Blade spoke in a deep voice, not like the one he previously owned.

"You can't call me two timing... heh.... I don't date... its a waste of time really, only something you stupid organics enjoy dooing" Circuit said as he stood there, fighting stance and all, finally noticing what had happened. "Ahh... Insanity... one of the many weaknesses of Organics..." Circuit said as he chuckled

"You don't get it do you... all this time, he's been possessed. Now... you get to meet his inner demon..." Blade spoke as he bowed.

"I am Veud, demon of thunder" Blade/Veud said as he stood up again, Circuit merely tired of all this laughed.

"And King Acorn is out of the void and lives in the Can!" Circuit spoke as he fired his cannons at Blade.

"NOW YOU FEEL MY WRATH VERMIN!!" Blade spoke as he dodged the high caliber bullets, taking out part of the roof top. A blast of lightning erupted off of Blade/Veud, smashing Circuit into the ground. In an instant Blade/Veud had already grabbed him, hurling him off the same ledge that Circuit had thrown his wife and son off of. Circuit now activated his boosters and flipped around laughing as he flew up at amazing speeds and then flew down, extracting his wristblades as he went on, slamming hard on to Blade, Blade screamed as Circuit stabbed through Blades arm, He was aiming for his heart but Blade managed to dodge it in time.

"DAMN THIS MORTAL BODY... " Blade spoke as he held his wound, tightening his teeth as the nanites now extracted the bullet and fixed his wound.

"Aww does it hurt?" Circuit spoke as he aimed to slice off Blades face, Though Blade merely jumped away from this, as Circuit again fired his guns at Blade, Before Circuit could react, another, BIGGER blast of lightning had slammed into his arm... Circuit no longer received data from it.

"Hmm? Odd..." Circuit spoke casually as he stared at his arm witch was crackling electricity. Circuit soon lowered that arm, or what was left and looked back at Blade, and began laughing.

Circuit's arm had just been blown clean off, the stump melted slightly beyond repair. Circuit now opened his shoulder canisters and laughed as he launched all of his missiles at Blade, explosions surrounded Blade now as one could see the entire top side of the building turn into rubble. Blade disappearing into the smoke and fire brought by the 16 I.R. missiles. Circuit now fired all of his bullets at the smoke aswell.

"I told you... even with one arm!" Circuit spoke as he lowered his arm and stared into the smoke, witch began to clear, One could now see Blade covered in deep cuts and scars, his intestines clearly visible as the Nanites did quick work at repairing him. though something odd happened... Blade lifted his arm at Circuit. Suddenly another blast tore the lower half of Circuit's body, the metal turning to vapor instantly under the unholy assault. Circuit merely stayed up right by using his booster pack, keeping him in a hover off the ground. As Circuit recovered one could see Blade now standing staring at Circuit as he raised his arm to fire at Blade/Veud once more. though by then Circuit had aimed and fired his guns again, Bullets had penetrated Blade's shoulder and chest, as Circuit blasted forward and slashed at Blade...

Blade moving back received two slashes right below and on his eye, the right one... Blade screamed in pain as the nanites inside his body, fixed most of the tissue, though the way Circuit had sliced at him, He had actually ripped skin off... leaving an X shaped scar under his right eye. The bullets were already expelled from the body and cured.

Circuit laughed as he sliced at Blade once more...

"IM not like other robots... I can actually remain active even if most of my body parts have been blown off!!" Circuit yelled as he laughed charging at Blade once more, though Blade/Veud merely gripped Circuit's arm, catching it as it came down.

Circuits eyes widened in both fear and curiosity. Circuit realized he'd be destroyed in a few seconds and quickly ejected a tiny pod from the side of his head, only to have the pod grabbed by Blade/Veud. A small spark emitted from the sphere.

"No no no Circuit... no escape for you." Veud spoke. Circuit merely frowned and chuckled, staring at Void.

"It's not an escape..." Circuit said calmly as he laughed, one could swear he was grinning. "Well, Ill be damned!" Circuit spoke as he stared back at Veud's eyes. Veud on the other hand, with a wave of his hand, vaporized the last of Circuit's old body as if he was doing nothing more than shooing away a fly. As he clutched the ball in his hand, the ball containing Circuit's mind, the blue aura surrounded the ball. The rain still fell hard on the ground.

"Hmm... You know what Circuit? I'm not going to crush you just yet. I'll let you go... just so that moron Robotnik can see that his prized robot was crushed as if it was nothing more than a tin can." Speaking up, he said

"And I'm sure you saw all of this, didn't you Robotnik... I hope you enjoyed the show, because YOU'RE NEXT." Blade threw the ball to the ground as it quickly took to the air before it hit, flying away towards what appeared to be the other side of the city. Blade merely returned into the building, only to be met by an army of SWAT-bots the battle inside the building went on as Robotnik was seen leaving the building, a timer on his hand as he laughed.

"Just as planned..." Robotnik spoke as the timer counted down from 3, the battle continued on as the timer reached zero, Instead of exploding, the building merely shook violently falling down into nothing but debris, finishing off with a loud and powerfull detonation.

Meanwhile, the sphere continued to fly, zigzagging out of control until it entered an odd looking building, entering though what looked like a tube, and emerging into a room full of brand new pods, each pod containing what looked like a body. Except for one witch was already opened. It finally stopped at a pod labeled"Circuit- 002". Whirring noise could be heard as the Sphere hovered in front of the pod. The pod then ejected a type of holding canister especially designed for the sphere. Once it landed on the canister, it locked itself in.

The canister inserted itself into a slot that seemed to be built for it, as it entered; the sphere glowed intensely, spinning from side to side almost like a combination lock. A few seconds passed before a small electrical boom emitted from the sphere, arms now moved inside, removing the body's armor, as roboticized arms and computers workled all around the new copy, the welding robotic arms inside continued on with their workfillong the pod with smoke as they worked.

Meanwhile with Red, he awoke to a strange feeling in his gut as he looked around. Morning had come, and heavy Fog covered the entire area. Mac still slept as well as the Arctic Fox, The fire in the Fireplace had gone out, not long ago from the looks of the ashes witch were still red hot. Red suddenly remembered everything that had happened in the past and grabbed the side of his head, trembling as he did so. Tears present on his eyes as he remembered the little girl.

"Im so sorry..." Red spoke as he let his head drop, watching the Fog around him, the debris of the destroyed village surrounding him.

"Im sorry im sorry im SORRY im sorry!" Red cried as he held his head, shutting his eyes tightly as tears flowed from his eyes. He was then in a dream. everything seemed so real and yet so out of place, Mac stood there in front of Red, but there was no color to him, he was black and white, As red stared deep into Mac's eyes, mac suddenly spoke in the most bone chilling voice imaginable, a whisper so loud, red was forced to hold down his ears and close his eyes, closing his eyes Red saw a glimpse of intense flames and people burning within them screaming loudly. suddenly the whisper became quiet.

"waaaaaaAAAAAKE-UP!!" Mac whispered as Red jumped up sweating. The fog was gone, and it seemed to be the afternoon, everyone was gone as red looked around.

"Ah, I see your finally awake." A voice said as Red turned to see who it was, The Arctic fox was now awake, carying what appeared to be supplies in a box.

"The name is Mark, codenamed Cyth, actually I prefer the name Cyth.... you are mind me asking?" Cyth asked as red looked at him, for a few momments, finally snapping out of it and blinking a few times.

"Ahem! um... my name is Russel Packard, I preffer Red." Red replied as he stood up and placed his clothing back on. "Have you seen a half roboticized fox walking around here?"

"Yes, he went off looking for more equipment, we managed to scavange up an old Shuttle Craft, hes currently fixing the last few parts on it before its ready for flight." Cyth spoke as he gave Red a food ration Army Surplus.

"It will be a few weeks before we get to leave this village, I have advised the freedom fighters what happened through radio, they are working on a mission having to do with what robotnik calls the Doomsday device, they are currently trying to find out what its about. Thats all the intelligence I have for you, sorry I cant give you any more Freedom Fighter." Cyth said as red looked at him surprised.

He thinks im a freedom fighter? Red thought to himself as he nodded. "Thank you"

A few days passed before Mac finally repaired the Shuttle Craft, Red on the other hand had explored the city and found it to be deserted. Red had now adapted his fathers identity and became part of the freedom fighters, he walked around the ruins of the city just staring at nothing, They had advised the other freedom fighters not o aproach, to make Robotnik think that the village was in deed dead, and it seemed to work too, with the excception of a few scout bots. A mere week later, it was now late afternoon as Red sat near a camp Fire. Since then a new recruit had joined the Freedom fighter group. Her name was Laberynth, the white Liger, she was a rookie, but a damn good marksman and close combat fighter, she just never seen battle up close. They all sat around the fire eating their rations as Red stood up.

"Mac, is the shuttle ready?" Red asked as Mac turned to Red.

"Yes, its fully calibrated and ready to go." Mac replied.

"Then tomorrow we hunt for this Electric Demon character." Red spoke as everyone froze.

"Us... Alone?" Cyth asked as he chucled. "My village could barely singe him... what makes you think YOU can beat him?" Cyth finished as Red stared at Cyth.

"Because I have a score to settle with him." Red spoke as he sat back down, everyone still remained quiet.

"But why?" Mac asked

"He knows something about me that I dont know... he called me a different name before..... wrath... and he did not kill me right away either... he was amused with me as I am amused with him." Red replied. "You can join me if youd like..." Red spoke as everyone remained quiet.

"Ill go with you Red dont you worry... " Mac said aloud as he stood.

"I havent paid Mac my debt so I will go with you untill I repay him." Cyth said as he too stood. Laberynth on the other hand waved at Red.

"Count me in too, I need the cash, but untill then... good night" Laberynth said as she fell asleep, everyone looked at her strange and decided to copy what she had done... falling asleep aswell all except red, who watche the stars above him, watching a falling star as he began dosing off.

Meanwhile, as the week passed by, a new metal was desighned for the armor the new copy would use. It would absorb inmense ammounts of electricity and neutralize it or utilize it for personal gain as to power up weapons and armor. .

The last part wasn't removed, though, instead it was added a few parts. Half of the head structure was removed, inserting a small micro chip. Immediately, as the chip was inserted, the body's eyes began to glow blue. The moment the head structure was properly replaced, Circuit moved his systems to hostile mode, and then punched himself out of the pod, landing on the ground as he began looking at himself and his new upgrades.

"Interesting..." Circuit said aloud as he then walked to the pod and conected his console to it, downloading his memory into his hard drive, the momment he began, the room went dark, as Circuit was surrounded by electricity that seemed to emmit from nowhere, Circuit screamed loudly now as he was thrown a few ways off a few momments after. Circuit then got up and looked around, and merely... began laughing.

The pod's tubes merely hissed so did his shocks. His laughter grew as a strange shock of electricity emitted from his head similar to that of voids.

"I... was defeated, by an organic..." Circuit spoke as he screamed, he yelled loudly as he punched through a desk, and then threw it at a group of pods, causing them to detonate.

"I WAS DEFEATED!!!" Circuit yelled as he screamed the smoke and fire from the previous detonation passing and enveloping him. Circuit then opened fire on a few of the pods that were there, they merely exploded as Circuit kneeled on the ground. He jumped at another pod scanning it quickly.

"OBSOLETE!!" he yelled as he destroyed it by punching into it and opening fire with his high powered blaster, detonating it as well as he jumped away and to another. "OBSOLETE... USELESS!!" Circuit yelled as he destroyed that one too, he then stood in the middle of the room and launched his missiles at half of the base screaming the word Useless.

A few hours later... only a few pods remained as Circuit lay on the ground Giggling and laughing...

"That... th-th-th-th-th- ThAT BaStArD Is MinE!!!" Circuit spoke in a different voice it was similar to Voids, though with a tone of a robotic voice to it, Circuit soon sat up and admired the remaining Pods that were there, He quickly picked them up and placed them near his computer console. Connecting them and linking them to the Computers main database, encoding every possible entrance as to prevent Hackers from reaching his systems. He sat at his computer and began working on upgrades for his body, giggling and chuckling as he did so using a new type of experimental metal Robotnik was toying with, he began to contact the factories into making this new type of metal for his new suits, plus upgrading the suits themselves... the remainder of the robots or swatbots now began to construct themselves with this new metal.

"YOU ARE MINE BLADE!!!" Circuit spoke as a beeping noise emitted from the PC... Red's and Mac's Bio Re-appeared.

"HoLD On... I dIeD bEcAuSe Of ThEm... If ThEy WoUlD hAvE dIeD wHeN tHeY wErE sUpPoSeD tO dIe... I wOuLd HaVe NeVeR pIsSeD oFf BlAdE aNd I wOuLd StIlL bE SuPeRiOr!!!" Circuit spoke as he began giggling and laughing maniacally. "I will KilL ThEm ToO, AnD aNnYoNe He AsSoSiAtEs WiTh... MaKe HiS lIfE hElL!" Circuit said as he laughed giggling insanely as his head gave a shot of blue electricity, similar to that of Void's.

From Robotropolis, Insane laughter could be heard echoing in the darkness.

Meanwhile robotnik stared at the screens infront of him now, Snively next to him staring aswell, both with a worried look on their faces.

"Snively... prepare the experimental SWAT-bots now... we will need them" Robotnik spoke as he smirked and sat on his chair.

"Y-yes sir"Snively spoke as he left the room.

"Come out come out wherever you are..." Robotnik spoke as he stared at the screen.

On screen, one could see search bots searching the wreckage of the building for any sighn of Blade... the timer shown a few weeks, after that whole time... they had found nothing...
