" This village is quite decayed." MotherWeather said as her and Metal Sonic wandered through the broken streets of spiral hill. As usual he didn't respond, simply nodding." I can barely comprehend that I did this." She continued. Metal was confused.

"You did this?"

"Why do you think I'm named MotherWeather?"

Metal couldn't argue against that. Her name was more than enough of a hint at her purpose. That was probably why Eggman didn't tell him as he guessed Metal would know just by the name.

Walking towards the direction of a destroyed construction vehicle that seemed to have been slammed into a wall. Metal knew it was her as only she would be reckless enough, and durable enough to survive. Turning the corner all he finds is a couple mercenaries, huddling together near a burning trash can.

"Mercenaries." MW mumbled quietly.

They turned to face Metal." H-hey-" one of them stutters from the cold.

" If you- you're looking for Dazzie she's under ther-there." He said pointing towards the burnt husk of a pickup truck.

"What happened to her?" MW asked, Unlike Metal she can speak aloud.

" No ide-a." The Merc said one last time before turning back to face the trashcan again. Metal got all the info he needed. Walking towards the truck he can't help, but feel incredibly amused by the many possible ways Dazzie had gotten herself into this situation, slammed under a pickup.

Slowly lifting the truck he could once again hear MW's rambles." Fire, glass, touch, thought." She whispered sporadically. She seemed to just be saying words that are somewhat related to what Metal was seeing.

Finally lifting the truck he could see what was left of Daisy, which was hardly anything. Everything from the waist down was either crushed, burnt, gone or a mixture of all of them. Her head was half crushed, her one eye glaring towards him. To his and MW's surprise, she was still active and had been crushed under this vehicle for 2 days. Metal had a strong feeling she was going to be more unhinged than she normally was." I hoped that you would find me." She said to his surprise. Did those 2 days make her contemplate her actions?" Now I know that I still have an underling." She added shattering any hope he had left that she would change. Like him many years ago, she still abides by her programming and everything it tells her to do and say.

Metal informed her on the change of ranking which simply left her silent.

I'll kill her- I'll kill her!" The robot said sparking and filled with rage. Metal didn't know who she was talking about, but he felt pity for them, this is the first time he's ever seen her mad and he is quite glad it's not directed towards him. He communicated to her in their language.

"Who?"

" Amy."

"You reported her as dead."

"Well I was wrong, but not for long."

With that Daisy reached her hand out for Metal to grab. Lifting her up to his back he looks around for any possible methods to transport her better. Laying his eyes on a backpack he shrugs." You have to be kindling me." Daisy says, her voice box while damaged, is still capable of conveying her annoyed tone.

"Do you want to be left to rot?"

"Shut up- just, get the bag and we can get going.

Grabbing the backpack,he lays it near her and then proceeds to lift what he and place it into the bag. Slinging it on his back he looks up for a second. The sky is as gray and cloudy as it has been for days now. He questioned why Eggman thought this would be helpful to world conquest. He clearly isn't supporting his mercenaries and while the doctor may not have noticed, Metal could tell that this plan was built on a glass foundation. MW is a very unstable AI, her constant questioning of her own existence gives him memories of when he started having questions.

The only difference between him and her is that she could be free from Eggman's grasp, something he'll never experience, the release of being free from him. He is normally envious of those that could be free, that's part of the reason he hates Daisy, because she too could experience that, her passionate hatred for those that wrong her is like a ticking time bomb against Eggman. MW is different however, from what Eggman told him she was supposedly a princess from a kingdom long fallen. It certainly made him pity her unawareness to her past, for now at least. She will find out eventually, which will mostly likely lead to Eggman's fall again assuming Sonic and friends don't take him down first.

Walking out of Spiral hill and down the stairs that lead out of the city he opens up a map in his HUD. It's at this moment that he realised that Eggman didn't actually create a pre-planned map for him, or at least it didn't reach him yet.

" What's wrong?" MW asked wondering why Metal stopped. Activating his communications device he sent a message to Eggman's main warship. After waiting for a few minutes it soon hit him. The mercenaries had said something about the lack of communication between them and Eggman and he had never seen Eggman attempt to communicate with them. The storm was blocking communication between Eggman and land below, and since the storms had targeted radio towers and other device towers, there isn't any way he could get to Eggman.

" He left us behind didn't he?" Daisy asked her frustration for the situation palpable.

" it could be assessed as such." Metal responded, processing what to do next." Well since we don't have anything to go off-" Daisy started ominously. " We can do whatever we want." MW echoed in his mind. He would sigh if he could, but he would get bored of just standing around. Plus his second objective was to find Sonic.

"Alright, but first, but you need to be reassembled." He said referring to Daisy.

He could hear her begrudgingly agree under her pseudo breath and with that his goal was rather simple.
