The garden is planted as the patch is left well enough for the vegetables to grow and the flowers make the atmosphere green and beautiful, creating an environment that is something a gardener dreamed about.
Sighing, Silver is back home while stretching himself and then sees a blue rusted robot sitting down along with a green skinned man carrying the tools while humming.
"Professor Von Sclemmer." Silver called while approaching the professor.
"Ah! Willkommen zurück, Silver! Schön, dass du wieder da bist!" Professor Dinglehoper Von Schlemmer calls back while waving, leading both Silver and the professor to high five. "So, how's ze job coming?"
"Yeah… I was fired and now I was under the council's watch." Silver sighs while placing the box down.
"Oh dear. Zis is not gut." The professor is saddened by Silver's loss of a job.
"No it isn't… But let's not get down in the dumps. I'm back and that's all that matters." Silver is still in high spirits while leaning in front of a robot hedgehog. "Is that Metal Sonic?"
"Metal Sonic? Hm, interessant He has so much recorded data including yours. I couldn't tell how he's functioning."
"Chaos energy." Silver answers the professor's confusion. "A long time ago, Metal Sonic was considered the ultimate weapon by the infamous Dr. Eggman of the Robotnik family. His wiring is complicated, but his sentience is far greater than most of the robots ever."
"Very interessant. You must've been very smart on zis subject."
"Not really. A friend of mine told me about all this, so he's the smart one." Silver rubs his head out of embarrassment.
With Silver and the professor checking Metal Sonic's insides and sorting out the wirings as they're placed together.
"Formerly, he was a part of the Breezy Corporation until bankruptcy, making him a part of a scrap that has nothing. I pity the guy." Silver sighs while rewiring the circuits.
"You do?"
"Yeah. In a world without Sonic and Dr. Eggman, the fairytale ends… But who's their successor?" Silver reminiscing his past after realising the past is the past.
The professor leans next to Silver and pulls a rusted part off of Metal Sonic's body, leading to him and Silver nod.
"Let's hope it works…" The professor hopes and prays for Metal Sonic to reawaken.
"Yeah." Silver presses a button on Metal Sonic's old remote.
As the button has been pressed, Metal Sonic's eyes are flashing red as he awakens, seeing Silver and the professor in his vision.
"It worked!" Silver jumps with excitement.
"Huzzah! We did it!" The professor cheers as he and Silver high fives with joy.
"Yeah!"
"Alright. Welcome back, Metal." Silver raises his arm, only for Metal Sonic to stare at a hand in front of him.
While staring, Metal Sonic looks around as he sees himself being surrounded by both a hedgehog and a human.
"P- Bzzt…" Metal Sonic twitches as he's struggling to speak.
"Huh?" Silver lowers his arm out of confusion.
"Was ist das?" The professor halts as Metal Sonic is starting to spasm while standing up slowly and his booster on the back flickers.
"PRIORI- bzzt- TY… Bzzt… NUMBER… Bzzt." Metal Sonic is slowly speaking.
"Hold on." Silver slaps Metal Sonic's head with a removed part, which causes Metal Sonic to spasm again, but this time he stops and glares at both Silver and the professor.
"PRIORITY NUMBER ONE…"
"Hey! It worked!" Silver rejoices until Metal Sonic reveals his priority.
"ELIMINATE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG."
"Huh!?" Silver and the professor exclaimed as Metal Sonic is targeting the one that wasn't alive anymore.
"Hold on… Didn't Sonic ze Hedgehog die 200 years ago?" The professor asked, confused about Metal Sonic's goal.
"Yeah, so I could assume he's done with his mission." Said Silver.
"NO IDENTIFIED LOCATION. SONIC THE HEDGEHOG'S STATUS: DECEASED. MISSION COMPLETE… ERROR… ERROR!" Metal Sonic is no longer computing as he's holding his head out of agonising pain.
"That can't be good. Uh… Uh!?" Silver desperately pressed the button on the remote, leading him to panic. "Professor?"
"Ziz is bad! Silver, we need to- Ghk!?"
Before the professor is interrupted, Metal Sonic quickly boots the remote off of Silver's hand and grabs Silver by his chestfur and the professor by his collar.
"Gah!"
"NEW MISSION OBJECTIVE: KILL SILVER THE HEDGEHOG." Metal Sonic looks Silver in the eyes with the intent to kill him.
"Me!?" Silver exclaimed.
"Silver! We need to shut it down!" The professor shouted.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Silver swings his leg by booting Metal Sonic's face and catches the professor. "I'll distract him! You need to shut him down from the inside!"
"Don't worry, Silver. I know how zis thing works, gutten luck!" The professor rushes as Metal Sonic raises his arm, just to be blocked by Silver.
"Hey! I'm the one you want! Come at me!" Silver taunts Metal Sonic and then makes a run for it as Metal Sonic misses a claw at the silver furred hedgehog.
Flying around the garden, Silver summons his gardening tools as well as the tools to build tools via his psychokinesis, ready to hit Metal Sonic with everything he has with him.
As Metal Sonic charges, Silver chucks his tools as it hits Metal Sonic all over his body, leading him to create a laser beam out of his chest, causing Silver to dodge as he grunts with a grin.
"You missed!" Silver dives down and swings an uppercut on Metal Sonic's chin as Metal himself falls to the ground near the vegetable patch.
Before Metal Sonic stands back up and fights, he is now pinned down by green aura as Silver raises both his hands at Metal Sonic.
"Professor! Now!"
"Ja! Tut mir leid!" The professor apologises while rushing, putting his hand inside Metal Sonic's body and presses a button.
This shuts Metal Sonic down as his eyes are gone and collapses to the ground, marking this as the end of Metal Sonic himself.
Sighing, both Silver and the professor are exhausted after realising that Metal Sonic is unable to be reprogrammed, due to Eggman creating him like this.
"We did it…" The professor pants with relief.
"No, professor… Without you, Metal would've gone on a rampage and destroyed the garden we worked our hardest on." Silver pants.
"Wooh… Das war beängstigend…" The professor said.
Before the duo rests…
"What in the world is that!?" A voice called out as it shocked both Silver and the professor.
"Huh? Who in the?" Silver sits up and looks around him.
"Was ist das?" The professor looks around as well while pulling up his glasses.
To Silver's surprise, he came across a uniformed councillor in a robe with 5 dots on her mask, hence the name Five.
"Ugh… It's you." Silver groans.
"Don't 'ugh' me! It hasn't been a day and you activated a killer robot on your way home!" Five shouted while approaching Silver and poke his chest.
"I think you mean, it was an accident." The professor pointed out.
"Can it, human!" Five snapped.
With Silver and the professor intimidated, Silver has forgotten about being under surveillance by Five.
"Professor, this is Onyx City Councillor Five, she's staying with us until I'm done with my punishment." Silver sighs while introducing Five.
"Oh dear. Where shall I begin… Ooh! I'm Professor Dinglehoper Von Schlemmer, let's get along well, shall we?" The professor shakes Five's hand while cheerfully introducing himself.
"So Silver has an acquainted roommate. Hm. Well, since you boys are here, I'll be living with you guys from now on."
"Really? Zen maybe we can make friends with each other. Right Silver?" The professor cheerful
"With this nagging stalker? Professor, don't you think she's trying to look into our privacy, even when we're showering?" Silver whispers while standing closer to the professor, suspicious about Five herself.
"I know, but let's give it a try. If she starts to bother us, then we'll find a way to lure her out of our house." The professor suggested.
"I see, but still I'm not having her here! She can find a hotel to sleep in!" Silver hisses.
"Just zis once, okay?"
"Fine…" Silver is defeated, realising that the professor is helping him from all the problems he's having recently.
Afterwards, Silver and the professor turn back towards Five as Five herself is waiting for a response.
"Okay. You can stay, but don't look into our private property and browsing history!" Silver warned, knowing his old friends from the past told him about privacy.
"Then it's settled. Remember what One said?" Five caught Silver off guard for Silver himself to sigh.
"No funny business. Yeah, now can you mind your own business? The professor and I are busy with other projects." Said Silver while bringing the tools back after fighting Metal Sonic.
"Projects?" Five is curious about what Silver said.
"For ze Christmas Science Festival of course. While Silver did make an idea, we both did ze planning und I got to do some building. When old becomes new, we will give out what the people have been missing for centuries!" The professor reveals his project with Silver, but doesn't reveal what they've been doing.
"I see. Wait, isn't One interested in the science festival? That means…"
"One's the judge of the yearly festival." The professor concluded.
"He did mention that science was his interest over 250 years ago as he told me." Silver revealed One's status.
"WHAT!?" Five yelled out loud which had the birds flying away out of shock.
A few moments later.
Inside the house, Silver and the professor are giving Five a tour, even though Silver's reluctant on doing this, especially when he's being threatened earlier.
Finally, Silver is sitting on the sofa while exhausted from the stress he went through.
"So, zat's zat, I guess?" The professor sighed.
"Yeah. Hey, professor?" Silver looks up as he calls.
"Ja? Is there something you want to say, Silver?" The professor leans down behind the sofa.
"Have you ever known the people you held dearly for a long time? Do you ever miss them if they're gone?"
"Hm… I get what you mean. I always zink happy thoughts when I'm down in ze dumps." The professor said while sitting down next to Silver.
"Well… I have a friend and she's like a big sister to me. I know it sounds strange, but even if she doesn't belong here, she's always there for me." Silver expresses his feelings as he reminisces about his friendship with a certain someone.
The professor understands where Silver's coming from as he pat Silver's shoulder with a calm expression.
"Sometimes, we need to move on. An old friend of mine told me to zink happy thoughts when things are dire. If she's zat important to you, I'm sure she'll never forget about you as well." The professor says, looking at Silver with a smile.
As Silver thought, maybe the professor's right about moving on, but was also right that an old friend will never forget about him.
A sound is coming from behind as the professor stands up.
"Ooh! That must be the toaster. Here you go." The professor went out and back as he handed over a plate of toast each for him and Silver.
"Heh. Looks like we're about to give it our all in a few days." Silver chuckles while raising a toast.
"Indeed. For ze festival." The professor raises his toast as he calls.
"For the festival." Silver calls back.
Finally, both Silver and the professor bite the toast at the same time while celebrating the near success of their projects.
While hiding, Five is seeing Silver showing joy with a friend after his arrest.
In Five's case, was Orbot and Cubot telling her the truth about Silver?
