(I'm mainly writing another part to this so I can post it on my Ao3 account lol)

Sonic backed away a little, him feeling tense as he spoke through the mental connection,' What on mobius is all of this...? What are 'Resonic' and why is there five and almost 6 versions?'

Metal responded immediately,' I see you found the blueprints.. It's a lot to explain..'

Sonic put his hands on his hips, speaking slightly sarcastically,' I have all the time in the world...'

Metal snapped back, surprising Sonic,' no, you don't. If we don't get you away from here soon, you'll become trapped. If you become trapped, I can't say we'll be able to get you free...'

Sonic was silent for only a moment, eyes wide,'.... You think Shadow would trap me here against my will.' It wasn't a question , it was a statement.

'Yes... Shadow hasn't had a blood and flesh sonic near him in a hundred years or so. It wouldn't be surprising.', Metal's voice was quiet.

'.... A hundred years...? So that's why Silv isn't here. He usually resides in either my time or three hundred years in the future... Er... In this timeline it could be the same. 'Flesh and blood' makes it sound like there are robot versions of me here or somethin'. ', Sonic chuckled slightly, trying to lighten the situation.

Metal remained quiet, concerning the blue speedster, 'Mets? You ok there...?'

'... You are surprisingly not far off from the truth... I wonder how you even guessed it at all.', Metal's voice held genuine surprise, all the while Sonic's heart dropped.

'... What...? You.... He... Your saying the resonics...', Sonic's voice faded, the words dying before they could leave his throat.

No.... He wouldn't...

' Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. Like I said before, he's changed... Those blueprints are all proof that he will go as far as put your memories into robot bodies. He's been going against your final wish for him to move on. They all are real..'

No... Nonononononono-

He turned this timeline's sonic into a robot?!

If there was one thing this sonic and himself have in common, it's that they never EVER want to be turned into a bot. It was a fear they hopefully share...

And by the looks of it, he did it many times..

'Why?', Sonic's voice was low, a small burning rage filling him. A faint purple aura formed around him, it flicking.

'He missed you... So much to the point that all he had on his mind was getting you back. He let his grief of your loss overtake him.. You saw the unfinished blueprints, correct?'

Sonic's hands balled into fists, a frown on his face,' he won't stop.'

Metal agreed, 'He won't. At least, that was until you showed up. He hasn't touched those blueprints since you entered this building.'

'What do I do..?', Sonic kept his voice controlled, although on the inside his anger was rising. How could he...? How could shadow do this...?

'Well, like I said, if we intend to get you back to your timeline, I would suggest we get you away from here.'

'Won't he... Come after me or something?', Sonic spoke with an unsure tone.

'He could. But as long as we hide you, he won't be able to find you.... Hopefully. I have a place in mind, we just need a way for you to leave without his notice.'

Sonic grinned. This should be a piece of cake.
