As the prisoners were taken back to the place Cream called home, the Chao Garden came to view, surrounded by a variety of robians that were examining the water and soil, trying to see just where this power was coming from. Close to the house, there was one important thing that had been shipped along with the forces Robotnik had sent to raid Cream and Vanilla's home. It was a completely redesigned, portable roboticizer unit made to work just like the model Robotnik had back in Robotropolis. As her captor approached the roboticizer, Cream began to stir from her unconscious state just as she was thrown onto the stand. Almost instantly, a glass tube popped up from the edges of the platform, trapping her inside.

Groaning quietly as she came fully awake, the rabbit slowly stood upright. As she tried to get her bearings, she noticed that she was trapped inside a sort of cage. The confused child stared out at her surroundings, wondering just why all of this was happening. While she was confined in this strange tube, she could see that Cheese, along with all the other Chao, was being held by another one of those metal mobians. This creature looked like a Mobian kangaroo, though its pouch and a good portion of its torso was a see-through compartment which now imprisoned her friends.

Despite not understanding anything that was happening, Cream couldn't help but get a bad feeling as she tried to figure out what this tube thing she was trapped inside was for. Looking around, she wanted to call out for help, but all she saw surrounding her were dozens of these strange metal men and mobians. Frightened, she started to shake as she realized that this was really starting to feel like something out the scary stories that she had heard from her mother. Her mother… Was she alright? Cream hoped so, even though Vanilla now sounded like these scary invaders.

"Organic Life Form deposited. Preparation for roboticization complete." said the metal mobian that had captured her.

"Acknowledged. Preparing to roboticize the subject." Cream heard the voice of her mother say.

Her head perked up, and she jerked around, facing the direction where she had heard her mom's voice. Cream could see why Vanilla sounded so strange, for her mom was now no different than the others that surrounded her. The older rabbit looked just like another one of the strange metal mobians that had come and overtaken their home. Cream then noticed that her mother grasped a remote control with a number of buttons on it in her hand.

"Commencing roboticization in ten seconds." Vanilla said, hovering her metallic finger over a red button on the remote.

As the Robian Vanilla began the countdown that, when done would end in the roboticization of her own daughter, Cream tried in vain to reason with the robian that had once been her mother.

10...(Mom, help!)

9...(Why aren't you listening to me, Mom?)

8...(I did everything you told me to…)

7...(Please, Mom, it's stuffy in here.)

6...(Everyone around here is scary!)

5...(I'll eat all my vegetables from now on, I promise!)

4...(I won't ever abandon my chores to play with Cheese and the Chao again.)

3...(I'll stop eating ice cream, if you want.)

2.…

1.…(Do you hate me, Mom?)

"Commencing roboticization of the organic now." Vanilla stated coldly, as Cream's last-minute cries fell on deaf ears. All Vanilla understood now were her orders, and she no longer even recognized Cream as her daughter in this newly-roboticized state.

Cream began crying her eyes out as she realized that her own mother had abandoned her. Her tears soon stopped because her body froze rigid as she felt a slight shock run through her. Then everything went wrong as smoke started filling the tube from several holes that opened up from the stand. As the smoke clouded her vision, she noticed that her feet were becoming numb and rather cold, and this feeling began spreading to her legs. It was a very scary feeling, as Cream was not sure what was happening to her body. She kept hearing words run through her mind with 'robotic' in them: Roboticize, Roboticizer, Roboticization, etc, etc. Just what were these things that they were speaking of? They sounded like the robots and other bad things from the scary stories her mother had told her. Did this have to do with what her mother and all the other metal mobians had become? And did this numb feeling that was overcoming her body mean that she was becoming one of them as well?

The cold and lifeless sensation had by now passed over her hips, and it was working its way up to her chest. Cream had lost all feeling in most of her body, and even if she could have moved, she would not have felt anything beyond her chest anyway. Panic gripped her as the numbing sensation spread over her chest, and she realized that she was no longer breathing. Nor could she hear her heart any longer, though it had been pounding a mile a minute only seconds before, beating like it would pop right out of her chest. Finally, the worries and fears over what was happening came to an end as the transformation went over her head

She no longer felt concern because, all of the sudden, tons of information seemed to just appear in Cream's head as if by magic. The child was shocked and horrified with what she now knew. Everything that had happened since she had woken up today, at last it all made sense.

The metal mobians were actually known as Robians: Mobian creatures that had been transformed from flesh and blood to metal and oil. Her mother had been acting strangely because she was one of them and, as a robian, the only thing she could do was follow orders. That robian standing next to 'Vanilla', the one who had captured her and brought her here, there was something important about him as well.

'That's my…..Activating Programming. Master set to Robotnik.' Mecha Cream thought as the small window between her mind remaining her own, despite being roboticized, and Robotnik's programming kicking in, robbing her of her free will and personality, was gone. Cream the Rabbit, the young mobian that loved playing with her Chao friends, had been replaced by Cream the Robian, just another slave in Robotnik's empire, one who only knew how to follow the orders of her master, Doctor Robotnik.
