Skull001: (Wonder if Cutegirlmayra has written something with them.)
An emotional moment after Rusty releases the flicky inside of her. She possibly can't even she'd tears from how her body was... don't even want to think about what those bastards did to her.
One of the few moments where Sonic being the one who tears up would add to a bittersweet moment, with Rusty comforting him because she can finally be free.
Cutegirlmayra: #I have been summoned / # I was summoned
Rusty Rose fell back with a hard clank to the steel floor of Nine's 'new' world. Her metal chest sounded as though something had regained life in it again, flapping about and squawking.
But she her face reveals her eyes searching for nothing,... they are remembering... her smile slowly returns and her surprise fades away.
Her good eye tears up, crying softly a single tear, she begins to giggle.
A simple but pure sign of the humanity left within her.
"I had almost forgotten... what it felt like..." Her robotized voice may still be present, but her eyes slowly close in acceptance, "To have my heart flutter again."
The gang all hang back, but Sonic quickly rushes to her side, sliding and holding her up, realizing... "Rusty... Rusty, you're gonna be okay, right? We'll... We'll..." He looked around at her injuries. One torn and sparking leg, one hand oozing oil...
"Sonic T Hedgehog." She gives him a reassuring smile, lifting her hand up to his face, moving some rubble-smeared marks on his cheek off it. "I have returned to life again... This is not a departure from it. You... and fighting alongside all of you..." She looked to them, "Have reminded me... of who I used to be."
She then slowly had her head twitch, her robotic eye start to flicker and blink out, "How-How-How-How I once was-was-was..."
Her being began to shut down... crumbling... each limb seeming to fall apart and shut down as her neck gave way and her body finally... seemed to twitch off.
Her chest swung open and a single flicky emerged, cheery and smiling, hopping out onto Sonic's hand and rubbing its head against it, flapping its wings.
Flying off, Sonic watched it with his hand still open, then looked back to Rusty Rose.
"... Rusty..." He then lightly took the head and put it up to his own, before back down again, respecting her sacrifice to shield him from the metallic Sonic the former Egglords had created.
He didn't even listen to his mockery behind him, his hand began a fist, and at lightning speeds, no longer on one knee, he charged and continued his fight with renewed spirits at him...
The look on her face... it wasn't 'deletion' to her...
No...
Sonic knew it. They all knew it when she said it.
It was her being brought back to life... truly, it was.
