"LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU EVIL UGLY!"
The pink hedgehog had shouted and insulted Metal Sonic during their travel to the place where the doctor had made an appointment. After traveling for miles and miles, he finally arrived at destination: Stardust Speedway. Once arrived, the robot tethered his hostage on a pole.
"GET OFF ME! LET ME GO!" she yelled, trying to give some kicks to the kidnapper.
The robot remained jaded towards the pink hedgehog. The doctor came to have the report of his beloved slave. He congratulated him, while the prisoner was trying to come off.
"Good job, Metal Sonic." he said, grinning. He turned to his hostage. "So you're the girlfriend of Sonic, huh?"
The pink hedgehog was both playful and confused.
"Me, Sonic's girlfriend?... You... You really think so...?"
The doctor then realized she wasn't. He asked her if she was really his girlfriend, but she made a negative sign with the head. He turned to the robot and looked with contempt but his slave remained neutral, because he feels neither anger nor sadness. It was useless; he heaved a deep sigh.
"Well, I still have to brake a little our guest. I go: you can stay with her a bit. And then, go at the start of the race."
He flew in his flying machine. The pink hedgehog was even more confusing than she had been.
"At the start of the race? But which race?" she said, turning towards the robot.
He didn't answer. However, he began to scan the face of his prisoner. He asked her name, what she wasn't long answering, shy because of his resemblance with the blue hedgehog. He contemplated her body without the slightest change in mood. She stared at him, helplessly. Suddenly, the robot looked down, turned around and left.
"Hey! Wait! Y-You will not leave me alone, eh?" she cried.
Too late, he was already gone. The pink hedgehog was now alone... while waiting for her hero to come save her.
Sonic traveled several places at different times to destroy the robot generators and be able to find this pink hedgehog who had been captured by the robot with his effigy. His journey stopped at Stardust Speedway. The kidnapper was there but without his hostage. The doctor arrived thereafter. He started laughing.
"There you are for your very last race, Sonic. The one that will cost your life!" he said, cheerful at the idea of the deadly defeat of the blue hedgehog. He began to chuckle. "I hope you're not too tired."
He ends up laughing. The hedgehog looked at him without saying a word, seething with rage.
"Haha! Very funny! We see that this isn't you who has crossed times and places." he said, fixing his nemesis with eyes full of anger. "Well, let's finish this with this race! Come on, I'm waiting for you!"
The doctor stopped laughing and began to wag his finger as a sign of negation; the robot did the same, which further annoyed the hedgehog.
"Oh no, I don't intend to race with you. It's with my new robot - Metal Sonic - that you gonna do the race of your life!"
The heart of the blue hedgehog sank and a doubt came to torment his mind: he has already had a glimpse of the speed of this doppelganger and it's much bigger than his. He wondered if he would actually win...
"And that's not all. To add a little spice to the race, if you don't run enough fast, a deadly laser will take care of you." he said, before start laughing again.
The spines of the hedgehog bristled immediately; a cold sweat ran down his whole body. Not only his new rival is faster than him but he had a chance to be killed! He ends up hesitate between renounce, save his life but with the shame on him or accept, save Rosy but with a chance of being killed. He still hesitated a moment before giving a reply, after releasing a sigh.
"I agreed to take on this race!" he said.
A smile on the doctor's face, he flew up and positioned himself behind the two runners. They prepared to start. The robot began to count to edge.
"3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Go!"
The two hedgehogs went on top speed, with the doctor behind them, trying to eliminate the organic one with his deadly laser. They traveled the first miles without any problems. However, the robot began to exceed Sonic by several yards; at this time, he was taken under a great stress. Would he be able to surpass him and even surpass himself? Unfortunately, fatigue was felt, once arrived to three-quarters of the course. The doctor was pleased at the idea of be able to eliminate his old enemy by his own hands. But hope is offered to the blue hedgehog when he saw another passage in height, much easier. He took it; it was the best choice because he managed to exceed Metal Sonic, collecting all the energy he had left in the depths of his being. He saw the end point of the race and crossed it before collapsing on the floor, completely exhausted, out of breath, heart pounding in racing.
"I... I managed..." he blew, a smile on his lips.
The robot still remained neither hot nor cold, despite the defeat that he just inflicted. The doctor, meanwhile, had plunged into the greatest confusion and misunderstanding.
"No... It's impossible..." he murmured, as if it's to himself.
And accidentally, his deadly laser touched his own robot, which was literally damaged and decommissioned. The hedgehog was attending at this accident; well done for this robot - this is what he was thinking. After recovering a bit, he rose and went to face his nemesis.
"Well... Looks like your beloved robot is good for the breakage...!" he said, despite his fatigue.
The doctor regained consciousness and replied.
"You had just been lucky! Otherwise, Metal Sonic could easily have surpassed you!" he protested. "You will not pay anything for waiting!"
The blue hedgehog began to mock him.
"I'd like to see it, egghead! If your clunker is back up and if you really want to, you will have your revenge."
He made a grin before leaving with Rosy in his arms - who kissed him. The doctor posed on the floor and went to examine his damaged robot. His laser has clearly deteriorated him but he was still reparable. However, it would take time. Lots of time. But the sworn enemy of Sonic hadn't said his last word. He raised his head towards the hedgehog, scampering with his admirer, with a wicked smile.
"Don't worry. You'll see him soon again..."
