Tails saw Metal and Amy talking
Tails saw Metal and Amy talking. Amy had looked over at him once or twice, and he realized that Sonic had not lived.
"Sonic…" mumbled Tails.
Unable to stand it any longer, he flew his plane back to his home, and ran inside, with watering eyes.
He was about to break down in tears when his radio crackled to life.
"Hey Tails! You there?" said a familiar voice.
"S-Sonic? Y-y-you're alive?" said Tails.
"Yup, I just wanted to let you know pal, that I'm okay, and Eggman and I are going to devise a plan to get rid of Metal." Said Sonic.
Tails put a hand over his face. "Sonic…Amy and Metal are really in love. Metal changed, and WHY won't you accept that?"
"Well, bad guys pull some crazy stunts." Said Sonic with confidence.
"Sonic! Listen to me! Give them a chance!" yelled Tails. "Metal just wants to live with Amy peacefully, and you ran after him with my emp rifle! How could he be evil still? Use your head!"
Static was heard on the other side.
"Sonic?" whispered Tails.
"I'm sorry pal, I didn't catch what you said, Eggman said we are about to enter his base, and his base blocks communications, so we won't be able to talk. I just didn't want you to think Metal got me. Oh, and good luck finishing that gadget of yours." Said Sonic before the radio broke up.
"Drat. He still doesn't get it." Said Tails.
(Meanwhile)
Metal Sonic and Amy were strolling in silence, due to what they saw Tails do. They felt as if everything went wrong, and Metal thought for a moment that everyone was going to gang up on him again.
"Amy…" said Metal, stopping.
"Yes Metal?" asked Amy.
"I was wondering…if everyone was against me…would…umm…"
Amy looked at him. "Go on…"
"Would you…do the same? You know…I don't want you to be stuck between your friends…I mean…I don't want you to be in the middle, and if that were to happen…" the rest of what he said she didn't catch.
Amy grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly. "Metal, you showed me something no one else showed me. True friendship and kindness. You cared for me when I was upset, you thought about a moment when I would be embarrassed, and you prevented it, you defended me when Sonic was being mean, and that is so much more than any being had ever showed me. I would never go up against you. Remember that always."
Metal Overlord's eyes seemed to flicker for a second. His head lowered, and Amy looked confused.
(Metal's point of view)
She…those words…I…… Amy.
Amy looked confused, but she had not realized just how much she had done for him…he had been miserable until she came. No one had even tried to even talk normally to him. His whole life before he met Amy, he was either, you are mr. robot minion nothing more, or you are evil killing machine. And now hearing this…it tore him up inside.
(Back to normal view)
"Metal?" said Amy a bit confused. "What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Metal Overlord's frame quivered. It suddenly fell apart, and Metal Sonic was hovering above it, staring at the ground.
"Metal?" said Amy.
Metal had never felt so happy in his life. He flew at Amy, and hugged her, his voice box making sobbing noises, and artificial tears flowing out of his eyes.
"Amy…before I met you, I was either mr. robot minion, or evil killing machine. But…you changed that. You gave me a chance when others did not. You gave me a purpose, a happiness that overloaded my systems. You have no idea how much more you have done for me. Thank you!" said Metal happily.
Amy smiled and closed her eyes. "No, thank you."
And they stood there, hugging each other. Both of them felt so happy. It was like nothing they had ever felt before. They stood there…both immensely happy to be alive.
After about twenty minutes, Knuckles came rushing in.
"Metal! Where is my…uh…erm…oh never mind." He said, seeing the scene.
Metal broke away from Amy and said, "I am sorry I took it, now I shall return it to you."
Metal floated over to the giant pile of metal parts, and all of it suddenly rebuilt itself. He flew off toward the woods, and dropped the metal at his house.
"Did he just make a run for it?" said Knuckles questioningly.
Amy shook her head. "No, Metal wouldn't do that. Metal Overlord seems to have power cables pointing toward the Master Emerald, so I'm guessing the body uses the Master Emerald to power it, so I'm thinking he decided to put the parts somewhere safe, and then fly back with the emerald."
Knuckles nodded. "That's good. I've been tricked too many times already."
A moment later, Metal came flying back with the emerald high over his head.
Knuckles looked overjoyed. "You were right! He's bringing it back!"
Metal flew down, and placed it in front of him. "Here you go Knuckles. I would've asked you, but if I did, you would've said no."
Amy laughed, and Knuckles just crossed his arms. "Yeah, I know." He said. "Thanks for bringing it back."
Metal nodded. "See you around."
Knuckles picked up the Emerald, and ran off. "Later!"
Metal and Amy smiled at each other, and Amy said, "Want to hang out at my house for a while?"
Metal nodded. "Sure."
(Oh, and if you were wondering about Cream, she went home during the battle.)
Metal and Amy raced to her house, and since Metal was much faster than Amy, he opened the door, and started tapping his foot and acted like he had been waiting for hours even though she got there in about 4 minutes.
"I was wondering if you would ever show up!" said Metal jokingly.
Amy laughed as she walked in. "I'm not that slow!"
Metal laughed, and followed her inside.
Amy smiled at him, "This is the first time you have been inside my house, hasn't it?"
Metal nodded. "It's so…pink." He replied.
Amy laughed. "Yeah, I haven't taken down the Sonic pictures that I have down yet, due to all the excitement…but you could just ignore them. I just didn't have the time."
Metal nodded. All he could see was pink. The walls were pink, the furniture was pink, the ceiling was pink!
"Sensors overloading from seeing only one color!" said Metal jokingly.
"Haha, sorry about that. I just really like the color pink." She said, sitting down on the couch.
"Really? I never would've guessed!" said Metal enthusiastically.
"By the way…you wouldn't look so bad with pink." Said Amy, observing him.
"Umm…you know Amy…I've kinda come to like the black paint you put on me for the disguise, and…"
"Rubbish! You'll look fantastic!" said Amy happily. "You'll look more like me!"
"Oh no!" said Metal, having fun with the situation.
"Hey!" said Amy, pulling a paint can out from under the table, and opening it. "Come here, you'll love how it turns out!"
Metal backed up a few steps. "Keep that paint away from me."
Amy giggled. "Aw, don't be shy! I could make you pink with black stripes!"
Metal shivered. "No thank you."
"Alright, pink it is!" said Amy, dipping her paint brush in the can. "Painting time!"
"Nooooo! I don't want to be pink! I'll end up being unable to see myself in this entirely pink room!" said Metal in mock horror.
"Come here Mety!" said Amy running at him. You'll be nice and pretty!" she said.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" he said, as Amy chased him around the house laughing.
After a good half hour, Amy collapsed on the couch.
"Oh fine." Said Amy, fake pouting.
"Yahoo!" said Metal. "I can see myself still!"
Amy laughed. "What do you want to do?"
Metal shrugged. "What do you usually do for fun?"
Amy thought for a moment. "Well, I don't usually do much inside, I usually go outside to do things, but we could probably think of something.
Metal sat down next to her. "I can't think of anything at the moment."
Amy thought for a moment, and then she tackled Metal.
Metal however, didn't understand what she was doing. He looked up at her in surprise.
"Gotcha." She said grinning.
Metal sighed. "You got me. So…what is this game called?"
Light snoring was all he heard in response. Amy was exhausted. Not wanting to wake her up, Metal shut down for the day, with her sleeping on top of him with a smile on her face.
(Meanwhile…)
"So, Doc…exactly how do you plan to destroy a giant destroyer robot? Does he have any weak points in his structure?" said Sonic.
Eggman turned from his computer screen. "Well, remember when I sent the Egg sharks at him?"
Sonic nodded. "Yeah…"
Eggman grinned. "Well, I noticed that one shark managed to bite him. It did no actual damage, but he managed to get a hit on him."
Sonic scratched his head, obviously not getting it. "And?"
"Overwhelming numbers is the key, Sonic. Metal is such a large target, that he is very hard to miss. If we are able to to attack him with such a large amount of robots, he will be struck many times, and be torn apart!" said Eggman.
"I see…Metal doesn't have any explosive powers or weaponry, does he?" asked Sonic.
Eggman frowned. "I don't know. Metal Overlord was built by him, not me. So, in case that fails, I have a backup plan."
Sonic leaned on a control panel. "What's that?"
"Well, as you said, he needs Amy for a plan that he has, right? We might be able to use that to our advantage. I could have some robots in reserve, and they could attack Amy if the first plan fails. Then, he would be more focused on saving her, and less on himself, and that's when he will leave an opening to attack." He explained.
"Smart thinking Doc, but…the robot couldn't pierce his armor, and that shield of his protects him from any projectile." Said Sonic.
Eggman grinned. "That's when you come in." he said.
"What do I need to do?" said Sonic.
" could switch my robot's weapons with diamond close combat weaponry, but I don't have diamonds. So, you will go into the city, and steal them from a jewelry store. That way, I'll be able to replicate them, and give my robots weaponry that will be able to pierce Metal's armor!" said Eggman.
"Okay, I'll get them." Said Sonic.
"Good, come back in at least an hour." He said, turning back to the computer screen.
Sonic zoomed out of the base, and as he did, Eggman grinned.
"I hope you're prepared Sonic. Because when that battle ends, I will rule the world! Muohohohohohohohohoho!" he said.
Whew…that took a while to think up. Well, the plot is unraveling! Without the Master Emerald powering Metal Overlord, is Metal Sonic doomed? Of course not! He's the main character! Nah, I'm just kidding. Anything could happen, and I got an idea of what's going to happen. I hope you enjoyed it, and thank you very much for the reviews everyone! I'm glad that this is turning out well so far.
