METAL SONIC
.-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . / -... .- -.-. -.- / -- . - .- .-.. / ... --- -. .. -.-.
"That damn hedgehog.."the murmuring of a man is the first thing Metal Sonic heard when it powered on.
"Ah,Metal Sonic,download the fight with Sonic for me as usual"a beep was it's only response to it's master.
It was left alone on the work bench after that.
Pixelated red eyes moved across the room, it's once broken screen fixed.
It replayed it's earlier incounter.
" 'Tal,you should use those legs more,i mean,flying is nice and all,but running is better, that's what i think"
" 'Tal,did you know,bruises are like a bouquete of flowers to the face when they come from you?"
"Those little beeps you make are cute,if i rip your body parts off more often,will you make more?"
"I'll see you next race,'Tal"
The voice haunted it,it should not,it is a robot,but his voice always managed to make it replay it when alone.
Metal Sonic has a dilema on what to do.
It has not told it's master of the developments,the words it's copy has spewed out has been happening for years,Metal Sonic does not know what to do with the information.
It's core programming has always been to defeat Sonic The Hedgehog.
Sonic The Hedgehog has not been defeated.
Metal Sonic is not intimidating to Sonic The Hedgehog.
It has been called cute many times,even pet when all that has been left of it is a head.
It does not hate it,it wishes to always leave a mark on it's copys body.
Metal Sonic got down from the work bench, it's feet clanging against the metal floor as it left the room.
It will only upload certain scenes,and when questioned,will only tell a story of it's memory program not working well.
Dull green eyes watched a flicky peck at the ground,grabbing the worm it found,it flew away.
Bright blue eyes came into his view.
"Sonic,did you manage to grab something from Metal Sonic?"
The hedgehogs peach muzzle twitched up"No bud,sorry"the fox sighed"It's fine,maybe next time"
The two tails behind the fox twitched.
"How about i get you a chili dog as my sorry,Tails?"
"You don't have to.."
"I want to"
With that the fox squeaked as Sonic dissapeared,leaving a strong gust of wind,Tails pouting as leafs stuck to his yellow fur.
"That's 12 dollars,sir"
"Thank you"
With two chili dogs in both hands,Sonic walked away from the vendor,humming a tune to himself.
He looked at the sky,the clouds slowly moving,the sun still up.
It made him remember his earlier fight,the memory of Metal Sonic,a chill went up his spine at that,a grin forming on his muzzle.

Sonic had learned morse code years ago,it was his first form of comunication even,it had been Metal Sonic's too,the robot only still uses it as he does not have a voice box.
The hedgehog though,still considered the robot as his best rival.
A very cute one,the little beeps and clicks he did as Sonic ripped off his limbs were music to his ears,the blue hedgehog would sometimes run a hand through the bruises he got that haven't healed fully just to remember the fights.
"He's fierce even after all these years,i wonder if 'Tal craves these battles,cause i sure do"he said to himself.
Metal Sonic was like a drug,one that Sonic is addicted to,the high he got off when they clashed always made his blood boil in the best of ways.
It was one of the few reasons why he hasn't gotten bored.
He bit into his food,eating both the chili dogs.
Tails frowned as he watched the sun go down.
"He forgot again.."
The foxes ears drooped slightly.
It wasn't the first time,not by a long shot,but sometimes,only sometimes,Sonic would forget about something when thinking deeply.
In this case it was about Tails.
The fox wished he knew what his friend was thinking about so hard to forget.
