This here is another version of a story already in here, one that I am working on. The other one is mostly based off of the Archie comics, this one here is mostly based off of the Sonic Boom cartoon. This version is more light hearted and silly unlike the other version. Although there will be serious and dark moments as well. Hard not to when dealing with serious and morbid subjects; Such as death.

Setting; Sonic - based off of the Boom Cartoon with some other elements thrown in. In No Way Canon!

OC; New OC, Female, Worked As A Florist, Died At 24 Years Old

Death; Murdered During A Robbery Happening At Her Home/Work

Reincarnated As; Metal Sonic

Pairings; ??????

The start is the same in this version and the other with some minor changes, but after that, everything changes. This chapter is set before the start of the Boom series. So, this throws a lot off and makes changes.

-Start Chapter-

Before her eyes closed for good, before her heart made that last final pump, the last sight she was able to make out were her calla lilies covered in her own blood. Tainting the white petals crimson.

The last smell was floral mixing in with something metallic and coppery.

The last thing she heard was sobbing.

The last thing she did was smile.

At the age of 24, she died in her home. More accurately, she died on the first floor of her home, which had been made into a floral shop and indoor garden. Died because a robber wanted money, but was too impatient and attempted to shoot a child that had been separated from their mother in the chaos of customers running from the robber.

It was her store.

There was a robber pointing a gun to a child.

A child's life was on the line.

She had lived a fine life - not the best or great, but fine -, a child hasn't even lived yet.

There were no thoughts or thinking when she dove just as the robber pulled the trigger.

Pain slowly made it's way into her mind, and her last thought on Earth was 'I made it in time.'.

With blood surrounding her, covering her flowers and with a child crying over her, she closed her eyes one last time with a smile on her face, and finally her heart beat one last time.

Before she opened her eyes once more, she felt static.

[....Optics Online. Systems.....Online.]

In fact, she didn't even open her eyes. There were no eyelids to open.

The first thing that registered in her mind was that she was supposed to be dead - yet, she needed to wake up right now.

Then, sight came to her.

It was like watching a TV come alive for the first time. Everything glitched, but came clear within seconds. Right in front of her was a tall human male. Round at the top, but not in the stomach. Smooth broad shoulders, thick arms, and a large dark, but not that large, mustache made up the man's body. The man was dressed in militaristic garments. Colors red, yellow, grey and black. Glasses on his face, covering his eyes. Bald on the head.

Even before he spoke, she knew who he was. Even with the differences, it wasn't hard to see who it is. Hard not too when she grew up seeing him on a TV screen for most of her life. Had seen him in video games and heard about him from children gushing over comics.

'Dr. Eggman'

But, another voice inside of her, one that sounded mechanical and nothing like her own voice, stated [Creator].

Gasping, she jolted when the sounds of wiring and gears greeted her. Quickly looking down, she was greeted with robotic limbs in the colors of grey and blue, the feet red and white. Twitching, her attention was grabbed by the hands. Yellow metal plates bolted into black hands with white bolts, the gray fingers themselves more like claws than fingers.

This couldn't be her.

Where was her peach skin? Her thin and long fingers that had callouses from taking care of so many plants and flowers over the years? Her long legs?

Where was her skin?!

'No.' She couldn't move. Laying and strapped to a metal table, all she could do was stare. This wasn't her. She was human, a young woman. A simple and average one at that. In no way had she ever been, or ever wanted to be, a robot of any kind. 'No! Nononononononono-!'

"Metal Sonic."

She couldn't breath-

[Breathing. The process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs. Not needed. No lungs.]

"I am your creator, Dr. Eggman!" The man, Dr. Eggman, in front of her grinned widely. "And you, you are my most precious weapon. One that will help me destroy Sonic the Hedgehog for good!"

The man that is no longer fictional laughed in front of her, and all she could do was stare.

There were no eyelids to close this time.

There was no floral smell, only chemicals that registered inside of her rather than her smelling it.

There was no mouth for her to move.

There were no thoughts running in her mind.

All she could do was lay there, cold, and try to trick her mind into thinking that gears beating inside of her was a heart.

[Heart. A hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation. In vertebrates there may be up to four chambers, with two atria and two ventricles. Do not have.]

She then did what any person who have done after they found out that they died and then somehow stuck inside - or become a robot based off of a fast blue hedgehog.

She promptly started to cry.

And all the others in the room could do was watch in shock at seeing a supposedly emotionless robot leak tears and give out pitiful whirls and soft beeps.

"Wha..." Eggman's jaw dropped and his heart sank. It was like he froze.

"Um...Boss?" Orbot - a red, floating robot with a round head - hesitated, glancing to the new robot. "Is...Is Metal Sonic supposed to do that?"

"Aww!" Cubot - a yellow, floating robot with a square head - cooed out sadly. If Orbot didn't grab his arm, he would have floated closer to the new robot. "Don't cry!"

"N-No!" Eggman denied quickly, waving his white gloved covered hands. He didn't even know how the robot was crying, much less the reason why. "Metal Sonic is supposed to be a killing machine! I don't know what is going on!"

All three looked to one another for an answer on what to do, but none had one.

"Stop crying, I order you to stop crying!...... Please stop crying?" Eggman eventually tried, tip toeing closer to his new creation on the metal table. "....What's wrong with you?"

Eggman watched as the blue robot sadly beep, hands coming up to his face and trying to rub the tears away. The doctor had no idea what to do. He thought all he had to do was create a killing machine as fast as Sonic and then BAM! No more annoying hedgehog. Just where did he go wrong in the coding? Or....Or did he create something unlike anything before unintentionally?

"I don't he's-" Orbot started to say, only to get cut off by Metal Sonic rapidly shaking he's head. "What?"

"What's wrong now?" Eggman huffed, crossing his arms and trying to hide his worry.

All three watched the blue robot shake, give a metallic sob, and then pointing to Orbot while shaking in negative.

"What did I do?!" Orbot gasped out, one hand going to his chest. At the same time, Eggman turned to him with a growl. "What did you do?! This is all your fault isn't it?!"

While Orbot and Eggman had a one-sided argument, Cubot hummed, looking to Metal Sonic with narrowed eyes. Taking in the body language, Cubot suddenly gasped, clapping his hands.

"Oh, I see!" Cubot brightly started. "You're not a he, but a she!"

Eggman froze.

She just nodded, still crying.

"Interesting." Orbot hummed, floating closer to the new female robot. "Not only did Sir make a intelligent robot, he made one that is sentient and female!"

'Sentient.' It echoed in Eggman's head. Sure, he had made Cubot and Orbot sentient, but only to a certain degree. They followed his orders no matter what, while the new one had the capability to chose. He had ordered her to stop crying, she didn't. This means that he had pretty much made a person with metal skin if this was the case. "I...I created..."

The three robots all turned their heads to look at the taller human in confusion.

"I CREATED A DAUGHTER!" The evil doctor exploded in shock. "Oh my evil god! A daughter!? I don't even know the first thing about being a father! What do girls even like?! Do I buy you dolls or dresses? Both? What about a bedtime? I don't even have a room set up for you! Is killing off suitors going too far once they come knocking?! What-!?" Suddenly, Eggman cut himself off, swiftly turning to the table and giving a horrified look to the three robots. "You're naked!"

Tilting her head, the tears stopped falling as she glanced down to her robotic form.

Just as Orbot and Cubot turned to look at her two, Eggman gave a horrified screech and dove in front of the blue robot, blocking her from view. "What do you two perverts think you are doing?! Don't just stand there, go find me something that she can wear until we get something more appropriate for my little girl! Well?! Chop chop!"

There were many things she expected when she died. Hell, heaven, becoming a ghost even. This was not one of them. She honestly thought that Eggman would have her scrapped for crying. Or, at the least, re-coded or something along those lines. She just reacted, not thinking about what she was doing. It was either crying, or staying silent. And she went with crying with no thoughts about it. She was lucky to have a more kinder - if not more insane - Dr. Eggman.

"Get the eggmobile ready too when you're done with that! Desperate times call for desperate measures."

Although, on the other hand, she didn't know this version of Eggman. Hell, she didn't even know much of Sonic to start with - only the basics and main characters.

-A Few Minutes Later-

"There we go!" Eggman grinned proudly, hands at his hips. Only to pause, lean down to tighten the collar of the shirt before standing straight once more with a proud stance. "This'll do for now."

What was once a naked robot now was not. The female robot was now clad in one of Eggman's shirts. Said shirt being so long and baggy that it might as well be a long dress on her. She tilted her head, beeping in curiosity.

'I think it's for the best that I can't talk right now.' She mentally sighed, watching Eggman brag to the other robots that had introduced themselves as 'Orbot' and 'Cubot' to her. 'I'd worry about saying the wrong thing...'

"Come on now...Um..." Eggman's grin fell. "I refuse to have my daughter named after Sonic in any way shape or form! She needs a new and better name! Something that will blow a name like 'Sonic' out of the water." He said 'Sonic' mockingly as he went on.

"Well, why don't we ask her?" Cubot asked his creator in curiosity.

"Shut up!" Eggman growled, going back to his thinking pose. Then, he brightened, snapping his fingers. "Ah, I know! I can just ask her!" With that, he beamed down at his new robotic daughter. "Is there a name you wanted?"

Jolting, her head snapped up to look at the doctor who is claiming to be her new father. She didn't know what to say. Her old name....she can't. She can't have it. She can't do that. She's not her anymore. She's not even human anymore. It hurts, and it burns. To have her old name said while being Metal Sonic of all things might just kill her where the bullet failed. It would just be a reminder of what she can't have and what and who she isn't anymore. So, that just means a new name...right? Something new. Something that won't give her nightmares or cause her to cry every time she's called by said new name.

'Maybe something to do with flowers?' Her mind whirled in thought. 'But not after a flower....'

[Searching.....Searching.....Possible name found. Flora. Derived from Latin flos meaning "flower". Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, the wife of Zephyr the west wind. It has been used as a given name since the Renaissance, starting in France.]

'Well....I died already. What's the harm in listening to a voice inside of myself?' She mentally shrugged before beeping out to Eggman. 'Hello? voice inside of me? Could you find me some 'How to do sign language' or something for me to use?'

She honestly never expected for it to say [Affirmative] and then proceed to download her information so that she can use it. At least this voice is more helpful than it would have been in her last life. If she heard a voice in her head that sounded so mechanical and static like, it would not have been helpful at all with her being surrounded by flowers all the time. Never mind that someone would have most likely found out and get her sent to the 'happy farm' if you get her saying.

"Huh? You picked out a name?" Eggman raised a brow in question. She nodded before beeping once more. Lifting her hands, she prayed that he'd understand.

"F-L-O-R-A" She, now called Flora, signed out slowly.

"Flora, huh?" Eggman rubbed his chin in thought, missing how Flora gave out a mechanical whirl, that sounded like a sigh, in relief. He understood her signing. He's smarter than she thought he was - in something other than robotics that is. "Not a bad name! Alright then, Flora, I am your Poppa, Eggman!"

"Poppa." Flora decided there was no use arguing, so might as well go with it. So she nodded and signed it out.

Giving out an excited squeal, Eggman looked more than a little delighted. In fact, he was pretty much jumping in place and looking like a little kid.

"Sir, I have the eggmobile ready and waiting for you." Orobt stated as he peeked his head through the doorway.

"Finally! What took you so long?" Eggman scowled at the red robot before turning back to a grin when he looked down at Flora. "I may not know what a girl needs, but I know someone who does! Let's get going, Flora."

Nearly tripping in the long shirt, Flora could only beep and follow the doctor, feeling like this could either be a good thing, or something that is going to end in her next death.

Reaching up a clawed hand to rub her metal muzzle, Flora's nonexistent heart sank yet fluttered.

She might not be able to smile or talk, but at least while insane, this doctor is more than willing to let her live with more freedom than how she recalled.

'...Maybe....Maybe I won't have to fight then?'

Oh, if only this was a dream, then maybe her wishes would come true. She can only wait and watch now.

-Seaside Island-

Sonic had been having a great day.

Had been.

It was going so well too. Sonic was sitting on his lounge chair, Amy was talking to Sticks while she was digging some type of ditch for whatever reason, Knuckles was lifting a few cinder blocks, and Tails was working on some machine or another not too far off from the group. Just a nice, chill day. No crimes, no Eggman, no trouble. A nice day to be nothing but lazy.

Then, of course, a familiar shape in the sky was seen flying right towards them.

"Arugh!" Sonic groaned, rolling his eyes. "Why is it every time we finally get to relax, Egghead has to show up to remind us why we can't have nice things?"

"Maybe he just wants company?" Amy asked with a thoughtful look on her face.

Sonic snorted at the thought. Tails on the other hand, was frowning. "Huh, you know, he might just be." Tails hummed, rubbing his chin. "Besides trying to take over the world, he does do some silly things to just get attention...."

"Or maybe he's come to try and brainwash us into being his minors!" Sticks growled out. "You wont put me under your spell! You hear me!"

"Um...guys?" Everyone stopped to turn and look at Knuckles. Knuckles just pointed behind him. "He's here."

All heads snapped to see the eggmobile landed and parked, with Eggman standing in front of it, tapping his foot impatiently.

There was a pause, but then the group of mobians quickly dove into fighting positions.

"Alright, Egghead!" Sonic gave a cocky smirk. "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Give up the fight now-"

"Fight? I'm not here to fight you!" Eggman cut off his rival with a scoff. "I'm here to ask for help. Ah, not your's. But the pink one's."

"You need my help?" Amy asked in shock while Sonic narrowed his eyes in a glare, asking "You need her help?"

"Yeah, see, I have no idea what to even think about buying for my little girl!" Eggman rubbed the back of his head with a sigh. "It's so sudden, you know? What do girls even like? So, I was wondering if you could help me pick some things out for my daughter-"

"Wait! Hold up!" Sonic's jaw was on the ground, eyes little dots. He wasn't the only one either, all the other's were the same. "You....have a daughter."

"It's the sign of the apocalypses!" Sticks screeched out, waving her hands wildly in the air.

"Someone...actually..." Tails started, only to shudder. "We'll....love is blind so they say."

"Aw!" Knuckles and Amy both grinned happily together, clapping their hands. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Eggman proudly smiled. "It was such a shock too! But, I wouldn't trade her for the world!"

"Wait, how do we know this isn't some trick or something?" Sonic frowned, mind trying to comprehend even the thought of Eggman of all people being a father. "Where is your so called 'daughter'?" By his tone alone, it wasn't hard to tell he doubted Eggman even had a family, let alone a daughter.

Eggman just smiled brightly. "Ah, she's in the eggmobile!" Swiftly turning around, Eggman called out to his 'car'. "Flora! Come on out!" He chuckled, turning his head to look at the group behind him. "She's shy."

"Uh-huh." Sonic just raised a brow, but soon lost his doubtful expression when someone actually popped up in the eggmobile.

No, not someone, a robot. One that looked more than a little like him and wearing one of Eggman's shirts.

All five mobians watched as the robot beeped, struggling to get out of the eggmobile. Soon though, the robot stumbled out and over the round shaped craft, nearly face-planting into the sand. Eggman was quick to go over to the robot, helping and making sure that there was no more falling.

"She's still getting used to her limbs." Eggman explained, leading his daughter to the group. Now standing in front of the heroes, Flora tiled her head and gave a curious beep as she took in the group - finding them so different, yet the same. "This here is Flora, I created her not too long ago."

"You...built yourself a daughter?" Tails asked, fingers twitching and wondering just how Flora operates.

"No!" Eggman huffed out, insulted. "I was trying to build a robot that would finally kill you all for good. But, somehow, I created Flora here - a robot that is capable of learning, feelings, and making choices. Not what I was going for when I thought up a killer robot - you know, one to slaughter you all with." He then smiled down at the robot, patting her head. "A happy surprise she is! Well, for me anyway. But the thing is, is that I have no idea on what to get for a girl or what she would need. I don't even have the proper clothes or room for her! So, I was hoping that Amy could help me with that."

While Eggman was talking Flora was taking in the group in front of her. The robotic voice inside of her telling her information about each one - weak points and basic information. Yet, she wasn't paying that any mind right now. No, her eyes - or is it optics now? - were on Sonic who was standing right in front of her. Tilting her head, she took in the differences. Blue arms, no more peach. Even had clothing and sports tape on him, even if the clothing was only a brown scarf.

Noticing that Sonic was staring right back with narrowed eyes, Flora flinched. Not knowing what to do, she just gave a metallic whirl sound and shyly waved, the long sleeves covering her hand and making her look more than a little childish. Unknown to her, it made Sonic's eyes soften at the sight.

The first meeting of what should have been the most bitter of rivals.

Instead, it seems that someone had cut the strings of fate and let the many paths of destiny open up for them to walk on.

Only they themselves can control which path this life will take with this new opportunity.

It was the luck of the draw that put Flora in this life and she had no idea if this was a good thing or not.

Well, at least she didn't have to deal with a harsh and more evil Eggman it seems like. Positives.

-End Chapter-

In the other version, Flora stayed silent out of fear while she mentally broke down. Here, she cried with no thoughts about it or what would happen to her. She was on autopilot pretty much, going with the flow while crying it all out.

And, as this Eggman is the Boom Version, he is more likely to go 'Oh, I have a daughter now!' than any other version of himself. Hell, other versions of him had called himself 'Poppa' when it concerns Metal Sonic, so it has been shown he does see himself as a father figure at times when it concerns the robot. Boom!Eggman is just softer and more silly - still insane and evil though. No changing that.

This version will go through Sonic Boom episodes only with Flora thrown in and making changes to the episodes because of this, as well as original ideas by myself. Butterfly effect, how I love you!

In any case, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.
