Metal returned to the Genetics Lab. Darknite smiled as he walked in. Metal's lower arms were now all red. He had absorbed Metal Knuckles A. K. A. Robo Knux. It was a tough battle, despite all the power Metal had collected. His body had many scratches on it and was even leaking oil.
"Good to see you made it out, Metal. "Darknite said with a chuckle. Metal glared at him.
"Oh, shut up." Metal said jokingly. His voice said it was no joke. Darknite simply sat there, on top of Splice's capsule. Metal looked at the creature developing inside it. He decide to record it's data, just in case he had to fight it one day. As soon as he was done scanning, a portion of his head blew a fuse. It was his memory unit. He scanned for the file containing Splice's data. He couldn't find it. Darknite simply laughed. Metal looked at him.
"He has some psychic ability, even when he's in stasis. He blew your memory unit so you couldn't remember his data." Darknite said. He then finally took notice on Metal's injuries. "You should head to the repair bay."
Metal left and headed for the Repair Bay. He walked into one of it's halls, lined with many stasis capsules. It also had a medical capsule just for organics. There were only five of those. Metal walked in front of a capsule. He also had a special and sinister looking one. He pressed a button on it's base. The capsule opened and Metal walked in. Cables came out and wrapped him in place, like a seatbelt. The door closed. Yellow liquid began to drain into his capsule. He shut his eyes off and began to think. Several cables came out of the sides and attached to him. His entire body was shut off. Arms also came out and began repairing his body.
Darknite walked in and saw his various machines in capsules, getting upgrades and being repaired. He came to a stop in front of Metal's capsule. He stared at the robot for a few seconds. 'He's one of the most magnificent things I've ever seen. It's hard to believe someone like Eggman created this marvelous beast.' Darknite thought. He looked at a computer console next to the capsule. Metal was most vulnerable in this state. He walked over and put a disk in a slot. He began copying data. When he was done, he took the disk out of the slot and put a new one in. This one had a small virus in it. It would make Metal obey everyone of his commands and completely change his personality. Metal would think he was free, though. It finished uploading and Darknite removed it.
"Sleep well, Metal." Darknite said. He headed for the Genetics Lab. He went to Splice's capsule. He inserted the copied data into a slot nearby. Splice would know everyone's moves. Data could be put inside Splice's body while he developed. He also put the virus inside Splice. He had seen too many movies and shows where creations turned against their master. He wouldn't let that happen to him. Splice was only hours from completion. Now he just had to wait until Sonic came to wake him up.
At Tails' workshop. . .
"Time to go guys. We're prepared now. We also know everything Darknite can throw at us." Sonic said boarding the helicopter. They all wore armor and carried guns. They weren't gonna screw up this time. They set it to autopilot. Within hours, they arrived at the base. Sonic tried to find a way in, but couldn't. So he decided to try the suicidal landing in the hangar again. He took control. And the guns and guards prepared to fire.
A few minutes of screaming and terror later, they were in the hangar. They all yelled at Sonic, yet he didn't care. They soon arrived at the fountain room once again. The intercom came to life .
"Welcome my friends to the most painful and last day of your lives!" Darknite's voice said.
"Bring it on, Darknite!" Sonic said. "I'm not afraid of you. Why don't you fight me yourself, rather than hiding behind your lackeys!" Sonic said shaking a fist at the speaker. Darknite's voice burst out laughing.
"Wahaha! You're funny, blue boy." Darknite's voice said from the intercom. "I might consider fighting you, but only if you do something for me."
"What's that?" Sonic said.
"Defeat your son." Darknite said. Sonic looked confused. They all heard a sound and a part of the floor rose. Splice's capsule, located in the lab just below, was rising out of the floor. The capsule stopped soon. They saw the young male inside, curled up into a ball. He was shrouded in the shadow his capsule made. He suddenly uncurled from his ball, then began screaming. Everyone covered their ears at the screech. The body began to glow, summoning huge stores of energy. In one second, there was a huge explosion that broke the capsule. When the bright flash cleared, the capsule glass was everywhere, and Splice's motionless body lay in front of it. He began to rise. He lifted his head up and got in a fighting pose. He was shrouded in shadow. They could only see red eyes in the darkness.
"Hello, my family. Ready to die?" Splice asked. Everyone got ready to fight.
