Mettalix is caught by his closest ones and turned into a robot. Right when the darkness surrounds him completely, he wakes up. It was just a nightmare. Emma is there to comfort him.
--------------------------------------------------
Run through one corridor, defeat badniks in the second and try not to get caught. That seems pretty easy. Or so he thought. It was starting to get tiring. Those halls seemed endless.
His ears twitched. There was a metallic sound from behind him. He turned around with fear. A mobian looking robot was moving towards him. The blue hedgehog knew who this was. The robots long black spines with deep yellow stripes were only one of the things that reminded him.
The bright red power gem on his chest and eyes of the same colour were what hurt the most.
The organic, younger hedgehog was shivering with fear, barely noticeable tears forming in his eyes. ,,Shard...." he shakily said, not moving an inch. The robian didn't move either, but made a mechanical chuckle: ,,Mettalix, I thought you were braver. Don't tell me you fear your own brother?" Was he teasing him?!
Mettalix made a careful step backwards. His brother didn't stop: ,,Why don't you join us? You won't have to worry about anything! You don't have to save the world!" This was getting stranger every second. It made him snap: ,,Do you think I'm stupid enough to let myself be roboticized?! 'Cause I won't give up!" The confidence suddenly came back.
Shard stopped. Then a sinister smile appeared on his steel muzzle. The blue hedgehog's eyes widened. Several metal claws grabbed him from behind. No, no, no! This cannot happen! He tried to fight them off, but they were too strong. Those few robots, specifically Tails, Genna and Emma, started dragging him through the hall. Before he lost consciousness, Mettalix saw a glimpse of Shard and his victory grin.
The blue hedgehog woke up in some kind of a tube. He pressed on the glass that was around him. Outside was another hedgehog, an older one, with dark brown fur. He was completely dressed in red and had black boots on his feet. Mex immediately knew who it is: ,,Dad? Why are you doing this?" The addressed mobian turned around. Metal noticed only now, that his dad has strange blue glasses. ,,You still don't understand, Metallix. This is the only way to make peace with the other kingdoms!"
Was this even real? Before he could think about it, his dad added: ,, You're the only one left!!" The tube, or the machine as Mex realized, started making loud noises. With that it slowly turned Mettalix into a robot. With the last second everything went dark...
--------------------------------------------------
He opened his eyes. Where am I? What's going on? Was it just a... ,,Bad dream?" Mex schrieked as a voice spoke next to him. ,,Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." It was just Emma. She was calmly sitting on the bed looking at him with sympathetic look.
Mettalix took a deep shaky breath: ,,Y...yea... How did... how did you guess?" ,,You rolled over and mumbled a few times," she paused ,,you usually do that when you have a nightmare." The echidna looked at him with worry: ,,Are you ok Mett?" His eyes got teary: ,,I had a dream where Shard, you and others were roboticized," he sniffed, ,,you... you caught me, and then... dad roboticized me."
Tears were now falling down his face. ,,It was so terrible seeing you all... like that!" His crying was unstoppable. Emma slowly got closer to him, and then hugged him: ,,It was just a dream Mett." ,,I know, but it felt so real!" She hugged him even tighter. ,, Everything's fine now," tears were forming in her eyes too, ,,were past those dark times!"
The room fell silent for a moment, until silent words were spoken by Mettalix's broken voice: ,,It was just a nightmare......"
