Note this is my first story, hope you enjoy it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapture 5 Sonic was on a one way course to Robotropolis. */I'm comming Sally and no one will stop me from saving you!\ Sonic incressed speed. MechTail grabed Sally a draged her towards the roboticizer. "No stop MechTail you don't know what you are doing." Sally tried to pull away but she was too weak and the Worker Bot's grip was to tight. "MechTail you got to fight it! Don't let them win!" MechTail still keeped draging Sally towards the roboticizer. Sally had one idea left. She stop struggling, turned around to face MechTail and kissed him on the lips. MechTail stoped but only for a second and then pushed Sally to the ground. Sally's attempt to break the program's control over MechTail didn't work, but however it awoke his mind. */Whats going on?\* MechTail grabed Sally and straped her into a chair. */What am I doing? *\ "Good, now it's time to say good buy to your friend MechTail. I know you just love to do this to her. Just think you can be together forever serving us." Packbell said grining. "Enough of this drama roboticize her now." Snively said looking at MechTail. I walked up to the control panel. Sally started yelling. "FIGHT IT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU!. FIGHT 'ZAP' Ahaa..." Sally was hit by a stun ray. Packbell was holding the weapon. "ACTIVATE!" MechTail reached for the control panel. */NOOOO I WON'T LET YOU, NOT THIS TIME, NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE SLAVES, NO MORE, AAAAA!\* PAIN, his home, ANGER, Todd and Alice, RAGE, his friends and now Sally. MechTail's arm stoped, his body was shaking and the glow in his eyes was fading away. "ACTAVATE!" Packbell yelled. Suddenly MechTail stoped shaking and looked at Packbell. "I DON'T THINK SO PAC-MAN!" MechTail said as he punched a hole through the controls. Sparks came from the control panel. Packbell ran up to the control panel and pushed MechTail out of the way. Packbell tryed to shutdown the roboticizer power grid but with out luck. "It's over loading I can't stop it!" Snively looked at Packbell. "Next time do it your self!" "Ah shutup!" Packbell said as he looked around. The lights turned red. "We got to get out of here, it's going to explode!" Snively ran out the door. Sonic was bashing his way through Swatbot's when he saw an electrical explosion from a building. "SAL!" Sonic ran for the building. Packbell was holding Mechtail by the throat. "I should kill you right now!" I looked at Packbell. "You already have." Another explosion went off, the lights started flickering. Packbell through MechTail aganst a wall then looked at Sally, she was still out cold. Packbell walked out the door and closed it. I managed to stand up and look around. There was not much time left. I saw Sally out cold and straped into a chair on the roboticizer. "What have I done?" I unstraped her and pick her up and walked towards the door. Laying Sally down I looked at the door, a mode kicked in and I could see that the door was magnetily sealed. I looked around and found the wires feeding the power to the door. "ACTIVATE LASER." A laser beam emited from my index finger, and I cut the wires. "OFF" I grabed the edge of the door and pried it open. The door opened half way when the backup hydrolics kicked in. The door started closing I could not stop it. I grabed Sally and pushed her throught the door before it closed. */At lest she has a chance to live.\* Sonic zipped through the hall way. "SAL ARE YOU HERE?" Sonic turned a corner and saw Sally laying on the metal floor near a big door. Sonic picked up Sally. "Sally?" Sonic tryed to wake the sleeping Princess but all he got was a mone. Another explosion went off and part of the celling came down. Sonic saw what was happing and ran out of the building with Sally in his arms. MechTail looked around for a way out but the openings he found where too small. "Well I guess my stay on this planet will be short one. Oh Todd what have you gotting me into." The sound of the roboticizer cycling up can be heard but something is different about it. Mechtail walked up to the roboticizer but keep his distance. Suddenly there is an explosion of energy from the roboticizer, the energy seemed to know where MechTail was and covered him. "Whats going on.. AAAAAa!" The sound of his voice gets drowned out from the noise. MechTail is surrrouned in energy and he can no longer be seen. The drained power ring inside him starts glowing again, it gets brighter and brighter, so bright that the it can be seen through the energy surrounding him. Sonic got a good distance from the exploding building before he stoping to watch it. Sally moved. "Oh my head, what's going on? SONIC is that you?" "Who do you think Robotnik?" Sonic said looking at Sally. "Is MechTail here?" Sonic looked puzzled. "Mech who?" an explosion can be heard. Sally jumped out of Sonic's arm's and landed on her good leg, almost fell over but got a hold of Sonic. Sally looked as the building went up in a blase of flames and sparks. "Oh no MechTail!" Sally turned her head towards Sonic and stared crying. "Sonic he saved me... he saved me from being roboticized!" Sonic looked at the building. */He must have been behind that big door.\* Sally huged Sonic tight. "It will be OK Sally. He gave his life for you." Sonic looked at the crying Princess. "Let's go home Sal you need a doctor." Sally looked at Sonic. "Sonic why are you dressed in a tucks?" Sonic looked at Sally with a smile. "Well for you I guess." Sonic kissed Sally and picked her up and ran back to Knothole. Back at Knothole snoring can be heard, Antoine is still busy giving his speech. Sonic zipped up behind Antoine and set Sally on her feet. Sally roles her eyes as Antoine is still talking about her. Sally hoped up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Pardon moi?" Antoine said as he truned around. "AAAAAA is ze ghost of me Princess, AAAAA!" Antoine ran away yelling into the bushes. The freedom fighters look in shock as Sally walked up to the petastel. "Well I see you have been busy. Am I late for my own furnel?" Sally explained what happend to every one there. "So you see I am alive a kicking, but there was a chance that I could have died." Sally said looking at every one. "In this war, there is always a chance that some one could get killed, but no mader what happens, we must continue the fight to for a free Mobus." Sally looked at the freedom she was draned out. She then said. "Since we have a grave set up already, I would like to dedicate it to the one who died for me. He called him self MechTail." Sally almost in tears again, hopped off and grabed on to Sonic for support as she went with him to see the Bookshire. The End Or is it? That evening. Back at Robotropois the bulidind where the roboticizer once, was is totaly distroyed. But amounst all this trash there is a ball of energy. The energy is very bright. The energy subsides and the out lines of a creature can be seen. Though it is still too bright to make out who it is. The creature stumbles out into the open of Robotropolis. Swatbots see the strange glowing creature as it started to walk. They tried to stop it. Energy bolts from the creature distroyed the Swatbots in the way. It again started walking but this time towards the great forest. Hoverbots arive to stop the creature but get blown out of the sky. As the creature walked into the great forest and the glow dispeared only a big bushy tail is seen as the figure dispeard. Yes now it's The End. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading my story I hope you injoyed It. I know I still need to fixed it up some more.
