B-BUT... Y-you're right... we shouldn't... lose hope!

it's... not like there's been... signs of the virus yet...

[nervously emulates a throat clearing sound effect]

[on a dark night you can feel a presence in dark corners in your house... it's not wolf because he's currently sleeping, and gets way too big at night to hide... and it doesn't smell like it's any of the jackals... instead... there's a faint metallic scent in the air at times]

................

I...don't like this.

(A metalic butterfly falls out of the sky and lands on the ground with a thud, it seems like it could have been made by the zombot virus)

. . . So. It has begun. I have to warn ShaD0w---KrrZZTBZt

No. He. Must not know yet. He's going thru a lot and I don't want him to keep worrying

[heritage-metal-sonic]

Maybe. However... My network has been offline for a while due of... reasons. By the time I was able to reconnect everything and catch the signals...

[does the robot hedgehog version of taking a deep breath]

I... the signal is... of a considerable size.

We dropped our constant search for a small time frame... I think whoever started this... might've been waiting for us to stop looking...

[fidgets with his metallic hands]

[heritage-metal-sonic]

I... discovered something about me that... that's not important currently, there's... more important matters at hand.

The network I look over has been detecting strange ... signals, an entity, I... have reasons to suspect this is... perhaps a signal of the Metal Virus.

N...Not... Well ... Not ever since before we last met... I apologize for not coming to you sooner I've just been... distracted.

I'm really sorry.

[the robot steps forward]

. . . Hello, Shadow...

[looks around]

it's been a while...

[eventually you catch a glimpse of two red eyes staring at you from the dark]

Allow me to apologize for... Intruding on your house ... all those days ago.

I was... It doesn't matter-- I must compensate.

[the small fox that came into your house a while steps into the living room, holding a very fancy device, then he goes into the kitchen and "steals" (with your allowance) a small bit of food, maybe it could be good to ask him about Metal Sonic? it's been a long while since he's entered your house]

Hey...Tails? You doing all right?

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[metal looks forward... his eyes losing themselves into nothingness]

yes... I'm... I feel.........Fine.

...

I felt... fine... then I...

...

...

But everything is fine now.

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[jackpot, immediately as shadow says that the robot jerks up it's head, the optics visor lights up two red circles, his eyes, and he turns to look at shadow]

...Shadow...

Hey...Tails? You doing all right?

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[he stands there, immobile, changes were made to his chassis, it's very evident. His claws are more shaped like metallic paws, the paws of a mobian. His muzzle no longer is smooth, but has an indent, there's a mouth. and his ears have a small indent for the purpose of emoting... he was... a robot Sonic... not a badnik... just those features not made for fighting made him... distinct.]

...

[maybe there should be a way to activate him]

"emotionless robot feels for the first time" trope but instead of it being because of love or compassion its hatred.

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[the sonic moves slightly and a little green checkmark appears on his optics for a brief second before going into sleep mode again]

got it!

[throws a very scruffy tails at you-- this is the same one that was rummaging through your garbage]

...

Hello?

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[seems to be inactive... or... asleep]

Hello?

[heritage-metal-sonic]

KZzzKRGH... Kzztt. I...Krzzgz...Sha...BZZT...Sha...D...KZt..Ow

[Metal Sonic looks back at Shadow, a bit shaky, his nanites visibly attempting to repair his body now that he's finally calmed down]

KZZZT I...AM...KZZZT...KGRRGHZZZT.

[his voice box is not repaired yet. But he was forcing himself to talk]

[when the sun has already gone down, and the moon it's at it's pinnacle in the sky, with Flower having locked himself in his room, and the chao well asleep, something broke through one of your windows, breaking into the garage]

>.>

Whatever it is is going to get its ass Chaos Blasted if it touches my motorcycle.

[heritage-metal-sonic]

beep...

[the eye in Sonic's visor closes and he nods]

[heritage-metal-sonic]

[the robot hugged Shadow, as best as it could, it's movements were stiffer than a normal robot's it seems he was really damaged, he doesn't seem to be able to talk, but his sounds calmed down when held by Shadow]

KZZZT....... grrzzztt....
