I know what you're thinking...it doesn't make any sense at all right now...that wasn't what you were thinking? My apologies then.
Metallix Saga: Chapter 6 – Doing the Robot
It had been five minutes since Tails left the others, went down to the basement and began working on the robot for their plan in a small laboratory area. He was designing the robot on a computer program at the time.
Upstairs in the living room, Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Rouge and Cream were sitting down, facing Blaze who was speaking. "Well, since some of you want to know what happened, and because nothing better is happening right now, I'll explain fully. Listen carefully now, because I don't want to go over it a second time."
Amy raised her hand. "Doesn't Tails want to hear this too?"
"I'm recording it right now."
"Oh, okay."
"So, now I'll begin…"
---
It was quite late at night in the middle of a forest, the stars were shining and a gentle breeze filled the air. Ahead was Eggman Nega's base, being a tall red tower with his face on it and green lights going along the outline of his face. There were dozens of Eggman robots wondering outside the base and a gate further back.
Blaze appeared beyond the horizon, running towards the base at an average pace as she thought to herself. "Now that he's gotten his hands on all seven Sol Emeralds, I must stop him before he finishes charging his secret weapon, whatever it is. I have no idea what awaits me, maybe a massive beast capable of ripping steel apart with his hands, or a ferocious rabbit who can bite his way through steel, or maybe that dog from Duck Hunt who would mock you every time you missed...I hated that dog."
Blaze stopped thinking to herself seconds before flipping over the gate, triggering an alarm as one of the robots contacted Eggman Nega. "Doctor, the cat is in the facility!"
"What? Already? Then just hurry up and shoot her, or at least stall her."
"Yes, Doctor." The robot cut off the connection and begin firing at Blaze as she charged at him. The second he started firing, she leapt over the robot and shoved her foot through the robot, then quickly took off before it dropped to the ground and exploded.
She ran past any other robots that fired at her and straight into the base. He entered a long and wide white corridor, with a yellow line along the middle of the floor and paths to the left and right. A white jeep, driven by two Eggman robots came out from the left path and began chasing Blaze, firing randomly for a few moments and then they began huddling bombs at her which she quickly avoided.
She turned right at the end of the path and along a corkscrew path as the jeep followed but the robots ran out of ammo as they reached the top. Blaze then hopped back and onto the roof, spun around and punched through the glass and straight through the driver. She then flipped off the jeep before it crashed into a wall and exploded, because that's what jeeps do, they explode.

Knuckles raised his hand. "Yeah, I don't mean to be rude and all, but this part seems kinda dull. I mean, the rush in and kick ass part where you know any generic enemy is just fodder. Could we get to the good bits, please?"
"Very well."
---
After a few more floors of kicking ass and taking names, Blaze approached the final floor. Upon entering a room, just further ahead stood a giant robot dinosaur, equipped with rocket launchers on its back.
---
Sonic raised his hand.
Blaze sighed. "Yes, Sonic?"
"You know, you don't have to make up awesome stuff to make us pay attention."
"I'm not, this really happened."
"Oh, then may I say, that's pretty awesome…please continue."
Rouge then quickly said, "Did you guys know dinosaurs make everything better?" After a moment of silence, she said, "Because they do."
"Dinosaurs scare me." Cream replied. "Especially robot ones."
---
The dinosaur roared seconds before firing dozens of rockets at Blaze who ran around the room, flipping and somersaulting as she dodged them. She leapt up towards the robot as it fired another rocket; she landed on the rocket with one foot and then leapt off it, covered her arm in fire and then elbowed the dinosaur in the chest, knocking it back a few feet.
As the robot regained its balance, it swung its tail at Blaze who jumped on it and ran along it as the robot stopped moving. She climbed along the spikes on its back to the robot's head, then with her claws she slashed at the wires connecting the rocket launchers to the dinosaur, and then hopped off the robot as it tried to squash her.
As she touched the ground she slid a great distance away before firing a barrage of rockets at the dinosaur, completely obliterating it in a flash of lights. After most of the smoke had cleared, Blaze ran on ahead and through a few more rooms before getting to the highest room where Eggman Nega awaited. The Sol Emeralds were visible in a tube reacting with static electricity nearby.
"It's over, Nega, now hand back the Sol Emeralds." Blaze said as she walked into the room.
"I wasn't expecting you for another few minutes, but I guess I have no choice..." Eggman Nega pressed a button on a control console near him, which opened a hatch, revealing a big robot with his clothes design and holes along its chest to shoot missiles. He jumped into the robot and charged at Blaze, trying to squash her with its fists and feet as Blaze hopped back. She then leapt forward and covered her knee in fire before hitting the glass screen protecting Nega. Though the robot was damaged, it quickly whacked Blaze aside.
As Blaze was getting up, the robot fired a wide laser beam which she flipped over as she charged at the robot. She threw several punches before jumping as it tried to kick her, then she threw several more before sliding underneath the robot as Nega tried to crush her with its fist. Blaze then roundhouse kicked the robot and sent it flying into the control panel, causing more static electricity to flow within the tube. Seconds later there was a bright flash and the two of them vanished.

Back at the present time, Blaze nodded. "And that's how it happened."
P.A.L suddenly came to life. "I have a question."
"Yes, computer programmed helper I haven't been introduced to?"
"Oh, pardon my behaviour, my name is P.A.L, as you said, a computer programmed helper created by Tails to help take care of necessary things in the house. But back to my point, do you have no Sol Emeralds on you at all?"
"Nope, not at all."
Shadow raised his hand. "Wouldn't you being here technically mess up the planet somehow?"
"Well, it hasn't done so yet, anyway, and Tails is working on my problem...I think."
"Smooth." Sonic said in a dull and exaggerated tone moments before he left as he said, "Speaking of which, I'm going to check on how Tails is getting on."
Sonic entered the basement and walked up to Tails as he said, "Hey Tails, how ya doing?"
"It's going fine, I guess." Tails replied before turning round. "Though there are still some problems I may have to fix. You see, the battery which was going to be used to power the robot was originally going to be a negatively charged node, but since an AAA battery contains quite a lot of kinetic energy combining both would make more sense, and I noticed this quite quickly and I-"
As Tails went on, all Sonic could hear from him was "Blah blah blabidy blah." As Crystal appeared beside him, he thought to himself. "Technobabble, I'll soon understand it fully one day without falling asleep..."
"Tails is meant to be eight years old, right?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, though he might be older now, I haven't been paying much attention. So where did you go?"
"Just to have a little sparring match with my best friend, it's all for fun really."
"A demon lord is your best friend? The irony amazes me."
"Yeah, she's the idiotic, egotistical, obscene type while I'm the cynical, graceful and polite type."
"Then why do you act like her?"
"I've just mellowed out quite a bit, that's all."
As Sonic began listening to Tails again, he placed a hand on his shoulder. "Tails, you're doing the over complicated explanation thing again."
"Oh, sorry. So anyway, the robot will be fully finished in about an hour."
An hour later...
Everyone else was sitting down in the living room upstairs, waiting for Tails to finish. Crystal turned to Sonic and said, "Hey, I just noticed you haven't done your monologue thing on Miss Fanservice yet."
"There's no need."
"...I see..."
"Indeed."
"Why is Sonic talking to himself?" Blaze asked Knuckles.
"He's been doing that for a while now, we just try to ignore it."
"I'm ready, guys!" They all heard Tails shout seconds before entering the room, followed by his Metal Sonic look-alike. The robot was a darker shade of blue, had red eyes, a red stripe going down its forehead, and big black fingers capable of shooting out little missiles.
Tails cleared his throat before speaking. "Its name shall be Metanic, and I now it's kind of a stupid name, but I don't care. Now, just because I can..."
Tails pressed a button on a remote he had just taken out and Metanic began doing the robot which Tails giggled at. "Heh, I love that, the joke was obvious but I decided to go along with it. So, we'll start this plan tomorrow morning, until then, just do what you wanna do, or you could stay over for the night...since people don't stay over often."
"He's quite eager for more people to stay over." P.A.L added.
Meanwhile, Eggman was sitting in the same dark room, contacting Metal Sonic on his high-tech widescreen monitor. "So Metal Sonic, who are things going down there?"
"Perfectly according to plan, operation "Generic plot to take over the world." Is in progress and will be completed within a few short days."
"Excellent, and just so you know, Sonic isn't aware yet."
"I wouldn't care if he was aware. Let him come, I've show him who the better Sonic truly is." Metal Sonic said before the connection cut. A wide devilish grin slowly spread across Eggman's face.
Song used:
I Believe I Can Fly –
----------------------------------------
As the song started, the scene took place at Tails' workshop in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which was never mentioned. The sun slowly rose up over the horizon, brightening up the sky. By the window inside the workshop was a blue flicky with a bent wing, recalling events of Tails saving him from drowning and flying with a pack of flickies including a pink bird among the pack.
It then cut to another scene of Tails flying around the bird, and then he tried to imitate him by failed to do so. It then cut to the present time as the flicky approached the open window with a look of determination in his eyes. As the chorus began, he took off, struggling to stay afloat at first before getting the hang of it seconds later as he flew higher and chirped happily.
Tails heard the chirping and ran outside in time to see the bird and waved goodbye as the bird did the same shortly before joining up with some other flickies. Late that night, Tails was in a small room designing the Tornado on a sheet moments before hanging his head as he sighed. He raised his head a moment later, took out a pen and began carefully drawing along the sheet with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
As the chorus started, he dreamt about flying over the six zones from the first Sonic the Hedgehog game in a metal grey prototype of the Tornado. After a while of flying, he looked over the edge to see himself down below, looking up at him and mouthing the words, "Hey, because I believe in yooooou!"
Tails awoke moments later with his head resting on the sheet and sat up before beginning work on the Tornado, such as checking the wheels, adding the wings, fixing the engine and adding the red design with his signature two tails symbol on it. Tails then hopped into the plane and turned on the engine as the chorus started.
A "Woo!" was heard as the Tornado travelled out of the workshop and down the runway in slow motion. The plane picked up speed before taking off and soared to the right with dozens of black and white birds following the plane. As the plane flew across the city, SA2 ran outside his front door to see the plane fly by.
"I can fly!" Tails enthusiastically proclaimed moments later.
"He can fly!" Dozens of civilians yelled seconds later.
The birds then sang, "The plane can fly!"
He caught up to the Death Egg which had recently exploded, and as Super Sonic flew down towards the plane, he said, "Whoa! It can fly!"
"I can fly!" Tails yelled again. The birds did the same seconds later and carried on for a long while. As they flew over an island, dozens of animals raised their hands up and yelled, "Fly, fly, flyyyyyyy!" as they flew off over the sea in the direction of the sun.
