A/N: Metonic! Suggested by the-enigma-machine! Hope you enjoy. Next up is what I admit is my guilty pleasure... ShadAmy.

There was something in those red eyes. Something other than the pure desire to kill. Something... Was soft the right word?

His programming was to kill him. And all of his friends. He knew that. Which is why he stood in front of the fox, echidna, and pink hedgehog.

But there was something ever so slightly off in this menacing glare. His head tilted to the ground, the glowing red rings staring at the group.

Dare he say... Something friendly?

The machine launched at him, and he jumped into action, grabbing the cold metal arms of the device, and pushing back with an equivalent force to the metal clone.

Yet he knew... The robot wasn't using all of his energy. And as the robot ripped himself away from the grasp he held, he saw it ever so slightly motion to the exit.

Then he heard the cracking of the building collapsing.

He was trying to save them...

Sonic looked at his clone, and nodded, a sign showing he knew what he was saying, without words. The bot never had spoken a word. And he grabbed the three of his friends, and ran out.

He knew there was something affectionate in those eyes...
