Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Robotic Romance. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own Sonic, Sega does.
(Death Egg 2.)
Nicole knew she had been spotted when she had been forced into her avatar by firewalls.
"Hmm, I guess you must be Nicole, the AI of Princess Sally." She heard before she turned to see the figure whom she found out was named Nano Sonic.
She raised her hands to attack, Nano made no move, but walked closer.
"Nano Sonic." Nicole spat out, Nano crossed his arms.
"I really hate that name, it sounds so…. Stock. I didn't come to fight, though, I disabled the cameras for this part of the Death Egg. You'd have to be pretty sloppy to have let the lord of lard know you're here." Nano stated, Nicole frowned.
"What do you want?" Nicole asked, Nano pulled out a flash drive and put it into her hand.
"To find out what I am… What I'm here for, Eggman wants me to kill Sonic then he'll throw me away like garbage and have me melted down into slag. I'm made out of nanobots and highly advanced technology… Yet I feel… Like what I'm doing is wrong, like whatever that emerald did to me is making me feel different. I feel like I have a… Thing in my chest telling me I'm wrong." Nano said, Nicole frowned.
It wasn't news to her that Nano Sonic existed, nor that he wasn't like the other battle androids Eggman created. She had hacked files on him and Sonic filled in the rest.
"You have a Chaos Emerald? You feel something?" Nicole asked before Nano nodded and brushed his hand along her head.
The Nanobots inside of his body and the Nanites that helped her avatar look somewhat human pulled at each other, both machines interacting like they were curious what they touched.
"So, you are trying to be organic, I didn't think the files the old man got from Sally were true. I didn't expect that." Nano said, speechless, Nicole looked at her arm which crackled and sparkled.
"Why would you help me? You know who I am, and what I'd do with this…" Nicole said, looking at the flash drive, Nano shrugged and closed her fist which sparkled along with his.
"I don't know why, I just know it's right, it feels right. I feel whatever that thing the Emerald gave me, that voice, telling me that's this is the right thing. I also know that you have some answers to my questions… Because you're like me, you want to know what these organics are, what their like." Nano said before the cameras started twitching, Nano turned to Nicole.
"Go, I'll act like I erased you from the system and you can talk with spines, go and give him that. You want the princess back, I gave her to you." Nano said, pressing a few keys which caused the camera to shut down for a few seconds.
"What about you?" Nicole asked, this talk was short, but it shocked her with how Nano was acting.
"I'm going to stay here and find my own path, I don't know what that path is… But whatever this is…" Nano said, tapping his chest, to Nicole, it sounded like the emerald had given him a soul.
"It will show me that path. You go now, tell Sonic that I sent you, that I want to even the playing field." Nano said, Nicole nodded and vanished into the console which Nano typed at, destroying her presence in the system, but sending her back to Knothole with the flash drive.
"Nano!" Nano heard and he turned to see that Eggman along with 2 D.E.L or 'Dark Egg Legion' soldiers and a pair of Egg Swats along with him.
"Yes, Lord Eggman?" Nano asked, Eggman looked at the war android before looking at the console.
"What were you doing down here? I thought you were resting in your recharge cradle. Your nanobots are still being finished and any damage to them is unacceptable, I still haven't finished their work yet, they are unfinished!" Eggman stated, Nano nodded, he frowned at the man under his metal body.
"I found a security AI in the system and attempted to purge it, it got away with a file. I wasn't able to find out what the file was, but I purged her from the system." Nano said, Eggman growled in annoyance.
"Nicole, that blasted Lynx continues to haunt me even without her princess to help her…. Good, you got her out, I'm sending you on a second battle with Sonic, find him and end him." Eggman ordered, Nano nodded before Eggman pressed a button on his remote.
Nano crashed to the ground, Eggman chuckled.
"I'm joking, you titanium traitor. I knew that you were talking with Nicole, that emerald changed you, I analyzed you the entire battle. You're not much better then scrap." Eggman laughed.
Nano grunted.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter down! Yes, I know Nano getting betrayed and meeting Nicole was rushed, I'll explain it next chapter. I also want to point out Nicole doesn't entirely trust Mach yet, she's just surprised that he trusted her. Next chapter will show Mach getting his official name and escaping Eggman. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
PS: I might make some more sonic stories soon. Until next chapter!
