CHAPTER 11
GOOD BYE, MY FRIEND
Kakoe walked up to the robot. She knelt down and turned him over. He was offline. She rested her head on his face. "No, please," she pleaded. "Please don't leave me! I don't care what you've done or what you are. You are my friend. Don't go away..."
She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked at it. It belonged to Sonic. She looked up at his face.
It wasn't angry it was sad.
"I know he was your friend," he said. "But metal Sonic was programed to be evil. He was a weapon of destruction. Nothing can change that."
She looked away. "Even if he was," she said, looking at the robot. "He was still my friend."
Kakoe wrapped her arms around the robot's body and stood up. It hung limply from her arms. She embraced it, tears running down her cheeks. "Why?" she asked. "Why did it have to happen this way?"
Knuckles collected the Chaos Emerlads. He stood up and left. Shadow followed and Amy went last.
"Sonic?" the female hedgehog said, looking back at him.
He turned to look at her.
"Aren't you coming?"
"In a minute."
"Okay."
She ran outside.
When Amy was gone Sonic walked up to the girl and touched her arm. She looked down at him.
"When you're ready I'll take you home," he said.
She nodded. 'Thank you."
"Sonic?" a voice said.
That voice was familer. They looked at the robot.
Metal Sonic was back online.
The girl let him go. "You're-!" she exclaimed.
He landed on his feet and nodded. "But I can't be with you," he said.
"Why not?"
"I am not made for that," he replied. "I know nothing about those feelings." He looked up at her. "We can still be friends," he told her. "But I can't-"
"I understand," she said.
Metal Sonic turned to his rival. "You had better not tell anyone."
Sonic grinned. "Okay."
The robot turned away. "I thank you for helping me, but Sonic; My mission is still the same. You know one day I will beat and destroy you."
Sonic's grin got bigger. "I wouldn't expect anything less from you."
The rockets on Metal Sonic's back came on. He hovered in the air. "We will meet again, Sonic the hedgehog," he said. He turned to Kakoe. "That goes for you too... my...friend."
She smiled at him.
Metal Sonic turned away from them and flew into the sky. He exited through a broken window high above.
When he was gone Sonic took the girl's hand. "C'mon," he said. "I'll take you home."
They left.
As they walked outside Sonic looked back into the building. "Yes," he said. "We will meet again... In battle."
Metal Sonic lingered in the area just long enough to see Sonic and Kakoe walk out of the building. When they did his computer centered on the girl's face. Subject: Kakoe. Statis: Friend.
He turned away. It was time to go. He headed toward the mounatain and disappeared.
Sonic watched him go. "Good bye," he said. "You're not as bad as you think you are."
Kakoe was watching him too. 'Take care, my friend," she whispered. "Come to see me soon, okay?"
Sonic looked up at her. "I'm sure he will," he said.
Then he and the girl joined the others and headed to the train station to catch a ride back to Station Square.
THE END
Author note: FINALLY! It's over. I am so glad. Now I can do more work on my other fics. I just want to point out one last thing before I stop: At the very end when Metal Sonic is talking to Sonic he has his memory. Don't ask me how, he just does. Well that's it. Hope you enjoyed it (At least to a certain part). Well bye.
