Metal Amy was enjoying every moment of her murderous trek through Station Square, randomly destroying buildings as she went. If she had the ability to smile she probably would have, the destruction was exhilarating even if it was just to get her biological copy out into the open for Master Gerald's plans.
She stared down at the flaming ruins of the area she was in as her metallic friends landed beside her and her robotic voice boomed.
"Bow down pathetic humans! We are the new team in town the Metal Petals, and there is no one who can defeat us"
She pointed to a truck across the road from them, and instantly both Metal Cream and Metal Big lunged forward slamming into the truck and causing a huge explosion, which the two walked out of unscathed.
Metal Amy turned to her friends, her hands on her hips.
"Are we having fun or what?"
"We certainly are 7, but it's a shame that our siblings can't join us," replied the metal version of Cream.
"Yeah…but I'm sure they'll be here sooner or later number 8, it's not like her to miss something like this…"
"Big want to smash!"
Metal Amy walked over to the large metallic cat and stroked his arm, calming him slightly.
"Don't worry 9; they'll be here soon…"
"Impostors!" the voice was unmistakeable.
"Speak of the devil…here I come…"
And the three metal creatures turned to see their biological counterparts emerge from the dust and smoke that the metal copies' had kicked up under their deconstruction.
For Master Gerald…
OOO
Amy charged out of the smoke, piko-piko hammer held tightly in her right hand as she glared at her and her team's metal counterparts and the damage they had done, anger burned in her eyes.
"You're going to pay for this!"
The metal version of Amy just placed its hands on its hips, tilting its head to the side slightly.
"Would you like it in cash of credit card little girl?"
Amy fumed, "Why you! I'm gonna…"
"You're gonna what? Talk me to death cos god knows you probably could"
The metal team turned its back to their organic others, Amy practically boiling over with rage, Cream yelled out.
"Please, stop what you're doing, it's wrong"
Metal Cream looked over her shoulder, "I see you're as naïve as ever" she sighed, "you'll never learn will you…"
Big saw the real Cream's eyes water slightly and glared as he took a step towards the copies.
"It's not nice to tease my friends!"
His own metal copy spun and stomped on the spot angrily, "Big crush Big!"
Metal Amy looked at her two team-mates before turning back around to face the Rose Petals.
"Shall we?" she asked.
Amy readied her mallet, an almost sadistic smile on her face, "oh we shall alright"
With that the two teams charged forward towards one another.
They clashed in a barrage of furious attacks, instantly the two Amys throwing together various combos with their hammers, only to have the other counter each strike perfectly.
The two Creams took to the air and flew into each other, feet first neither giving any ground as the bounced apart from each attack and just flying straight back in to continue on.
The two Bigs' battle was a lot less high speed as the two locked hands and tried to push the other back in a tremendous battle of strength, the concrete beneath them cracking and turning to rubble.
The twin female hedgehogs leaped apart from one another, the real Amy breathing heavily while her robotic copy seemed fine, apart from the few dents it had suffered from the piko-piko.
"No bad…" it kept its mechanical gave locked on the girl "for an organic"
She smiled at her copy, her body relaxing somewhat "I'm just getting started"
With that the two charged forward again, parry each others attacks with their giant mallets, neither giving up in their struggle for dominance, soon the two leaped back, planting their feet on the walls on either side of the street for a brief second before launching themselves at each other, mallets at the ready.
Amy's brow furrowed, I've gotta hit this just right…for Sonic!
And with that the two passed each other like bullets, each landing on the ground a good few meters from one another, they stayed still for a while…then the pink hedgehog stood and smiled down at the ground as she was a robotic head roll away, and heard the collapse of the metal body behind her.
"For Sonic…" she whispered.
OOO
Cream was tired, her large ears barely keeping her airborne anymore but she knew that her metal copy had plenty more energy to continue their mid-air fight. She hated fighting and never trained as much as the others, but she knew that this copy of her's had to be stopped.
Just then a metal hand wrapped around her throat and the next thing she knew she had been slammed into the side of a building and her copy was holding her there.
"Dear sister, I am very sorry but I must kill you now…!
With that the robotic rabbit reached its hand back ready to stab it forward and end the young girl's life that was until the flying rabbit yelled out her most terrifying battle cry.
"Cheese get her!"
Before the robot could even move the little blue creature had struck it from above with such speed and force that it passed through the metal like butter, shortly after this amazing attack the remains of the metal copy crumbled to the ground bellow…and the every happy rabbit girl grabbed her little chaos in a fierce hug.
"Oh Cheese! You're so brave!"
OOO
Meanwhile the giant purple cat was currently in a stalemate with his giant metallic copy. It would seem that the two Bigs were equally matched in strength…can chances are intelligence.
"Big crush!" yelled the metal car.
The purple feline mustered up his best glare as he tried to pour more of his great weight into his attack, "You're a bad big!"
Then with a seemingly unheard of act of acrobatic Big pushed himself into the air, knocking his metal counterpart over like an up-shelled turtle, and while in air he performed what should be an impossible forward flip before landing butt first into the robot's head, crushing it.
He then just sat there and chuckled in true Big the cat style.
OOO
The three Rose Petals stood there for a moment, surveying the damage their copies had done for a while and wondering over just who had created such dangerous beings. But before they could come up with anything tangible a familiar voice filled their minds.
Hiya guys, its Trance here…Chaotix have taken out their team as well and the others are still taking chasing theirs down…we should regroup and wait for them, before we go looking for the one behind this…
"Alright Trance, thanks!" beamed Amy as they turned and began on their road back to Spike's place so they could regroup.
Oh and Amy, you have got to teach me how to do that with a mallet!
With that they all laughed as the pink hedgehog promise to teach the wolf girl the ancient art of hammer smashing after they had finished with everything else.
What they didn't know though was that as they walked on a strange liquid metal was slowly seeping from the sewers and covering the remains of the metal rose petals, their bodies dissolving into it as a voice said quietly:
"One step closer…"
