Eggman's mustache drooped as he heard Metal speak. "A... handful... of about eight fighters? You're kidding?" He glanced over at Sonic. He had thought that using him as a tie to the Freedom Fighters would be a boon, but with such small numbers, he would essentially be performing such an attack by himself. "It's no matter... in the worst case scenario, I would merely have to make my own presence known... hardly a devastating loss." Although, he thought to himself, in such a case, what good would the Freedom Fighters be anyway? Still, he wanted this pest out of his base, and it would be best to keep up appearences for the time being. "Very well! I apologize, Sonic, but we're going to need to postpone the plan in this case. Having large numbers is absolutely necessary, so until I either think of another plan or gather enough allies, I'll need to send you along your way. Go do whatever it is you usually do... maybe disrupt some of Robotnik's supply lines to give any robot factories trouble, destroy them if you can... I'll show you the way out. In case I need to contact you..." The doctor pulled out a small radio, handing it to Sonic. "We'll need to be in the same universe for this to work, now. If I get ready to launch an attack, I'll send you a transmission." Inwardly, he doubted he'd work with Sonic, considering such a small group useless against a global threat, but it was best to keep the option open, in case the situation changed. "Now, I'll lead you to the way out..." He whispered into his cuff radio an order to open the submarine bays and passages leading from this room to that, then began walking. "The rest of you wait here."

Sonic was glaring angrily by the end of this. "Hey, don't knock us! Yeah there may not be a lot of us, but its quality that counts, bud!" Then he snrrked at the idea of Robotnik using the roboticizer on Metal, remembering what had happened the last time he'd used it on a robot. He took the radio from Eggman, albiet reluctantly, hand held it like it might explode before tucking it into his backpack. "That's...great doc, but what am I supposed to do til then, huh? I don't even have a clue where the heck I am, really."

"Quality and quantity would be more preferable," Metal rolled his eyes. "Besides, from what I have learned you are little more than an object of aggravation. Even the Sonic of this world is more accomplished than that."

Another glare from Sonic. "Oh, right, and I'm sure you're a shining beacon of success yourself, pal."

The robot's eyes flared slightly. "... My success in anything is not the subject of debate. I will be more impressed after you try saving the planet, even the universe a few times. Then we will discuss quality." What the hell? the metallix thought suddenly. ... Why am I DEFENDING that stupid hedgehog?!

"Been there, working on that," Sonic quipped, "And somehow I don't think you were talking about yourself, were ya?"

Metal stomped his foot into the floor and turned, folding his arms together. "I do not think that is any of your business."

Eggman stepped between the two, clearing his throat. "Ahem, now's not the time to worry about petty details like that. As for how you'll find your way around, just leave that to me. Come on, now."

"Good, cause I think he was about to start crying," Sonic said with a grin as he moved to follow Eggman.

Cue the glowey eye rage as he spun back around. " What did you just say, hedgehog?"

Eggman glared at both of them, stomping a foot. "ENOUGH! Would the two of you quit bickering and-" A beeping sound went off in Eggman's cuff, and, sighing and grumbling, he stepped toward a door. "Something's come up. I need to go take care of it. Would one of you show our guest the door? I remind you, he is not to be harmed under any circumstances." He glanced at Sonic. "EXCEPT in self-defense or retaliation. Don't get any funny ideas, hedgehog." He paused at the edge of the door. "If necessary... guide him around this world. I would like for him to be blindfolded, or take a special Eggmobile that doesn't allow sight if he refuses, upon exit from the base. The location must be kept secret, even to allies. In addition..." He turned. "Sonic. Tell no one of our alliance. If Robotnik learns, it could spoil any element of surprise. In addition, whoever will accompany him while in this world should take any measures necessary to prevent being conspicuous, or seeming to work for me. Understood?" Eggman turned, walking out of the room. "That is all."

"Yeah, whatever, Doc. I just wanna get out of here, the air's getting stuffy down here."

Metal glanced to either side, realizing he was suddenly alone with the hedgehog. Meaning that 'someone' was him. His eye flickered. " Oh, you must be joking..." he muttered, suddenly storming off in a direction without even bothering to look back at Sonic. "Come with me." That was followed by a long stream of binary cursing.

Sonic just shrugged, "Lead the way, chrome dome."

The robot paused mid-step, turning on his heels and pointing a finger up at him menacingly, "My name is Metal. JUST Metal. Not Chrome Dome, not Rusty, not any other cute little nicknames you can think of, and certainly not Metal Sonic. I do not care if you are not the same Sonic that I know, I will not tolerate ridicule, especially if I am to play tour guide for you! Am I clear?"

"Whatever you say," he said aloud, then added under his breath, " ...chrome dome."

Metal winced, hearing the comment, his talons tightening into fists. "... Quill face." With every excruciatingly painful amount of effort he could muster, he turned and began to glide off at a quickened pace to keep himself from decking the hedgehog.

And Sonic just jogged along right behind, whistling a tune as they went along.

Which annoyed the crap out of Metal, making it that much harder for him to concentrate on anything but the hedgehog, and nearly causing him to run into a wall as he turned a corner. But he struggled on, feeling as though he was trying to trudge his way through knee deep mud. Of all he'd already been put through, now he was put up with... him. Otherwordly Sonic or not, he looked like him, sounded liked him, even acted like him! It was enough to make the robot want to shove his talons into the nearest electrical socket. Preferably while he was touching the hedgehog. Not long later, the two reached the sub bay. Metal halted, turned, and glared at Sonic out of the corner of his eye. "Stand here and wait. I am going to fetch someone else to escort you." Without waiting for an answer, and hoping to high heaven the hedgehog would actually stay put, he marched off toward a different door and went through. Taking the time grabbing something from a nearby cabinet, he then stood there and waited for a minute or two, then finally, reshaped his form. What Sonic would see exiting the room Metal had left through would be a hedgehog the splitting himself of himself, with the notable exceptions that his eyes were red, bottom spikes were turned up, his shoes and gloves were different, and a gold medallion hung from around his neck. He walked up to Sonic and pulled a cloth from hammerspace (which, knowing how spiteful he was, was probably his polishing rag) and began to smooth it out. "Greetings," he said, straining to keep his tone level. "I am Merce. I have been informed of your situation, I am here to take you to a city called Station Square. Turn around so I may blindfold you."

However Sonic just stared at him for a moment, then broke out in a fit of giggles. "*Snrk* What'd you *hehe* do? Go talk to your *hehehe* Blue Fairy Bot, Pinocchio?" then burst out laughing.

"No, I am the teacup fairy!" The android blinked in surprise, at first not getting what Sonic meant. Then it clicked, and he gave the hedgehog an ugly glare. "... I said turn around."

"Ok, ok," he said, agreeing just cause it would get him out of here alot faster, and turned around. However as Merce put the blindfold on he could hear Sonic snrking about "Wittle Metal became a real boy..."

And the ugly glare continued. Except there was also an irritated growl. "... I would appreciate if you would not call me that in public. My true identity in this form is supposed to be confidential." Everyone. Everyone fell for his camouflage. Everyone except this hedgehog, apparently. Snatching Sonic by the wrist he lead him toward one of the eggmobiles.

"No problem..." The still giggling Sonic said, "...Pinoc"
