Metal Sonic: Menace or Mislabeled?

Fear

Sonic's Pov

It was bound to happen at some point; Eggman returned and was on the attack. I don't know about anyone else, but I was hoping I would never have to hear that name again. As soon as I found out, I told the gang to varying degrees of shock. Michael looked like he was ready to finish things once and for all. The team to fight him consisted of us, Shadow, Rouge, The Chaotix, Tails, and Knuckles. Amy wished us luck; she wanted to help, but had to stay back to take care of Amethyst.

We found the mad doctor in the center of town in that stupid Eggmobile of his. As soon as he saw us he unleashed thousands upon thousands of badniks on us. They may have had the numbers advantage, but they were still no match for us. I noticed that throughout the whole fight, Michael's eyes never left Eggman. If looks could kill, Micheal actually would have ended once and for all. Egghead returned the glare and spoke to us. "I hope you all are ready to meet your end. I would assume you are, Michael. After all, you'd get to see that pathetic family of yours."

In that moment, I knew things were not going to end well. Michael immediately charged right at Eggbreath and knocked him down to the ground. Once all of the badniks were destroyed, I made my way over to Michael and saw him raining right and left hands down on Eggman's face. As nice as it was to see him get what he deserved, I knew that if I didn't stop Michael, he would go too far.

I tried to pull him away and succeeded, but also caught a right hand to the face. I fell back as I held my face. I could tell that my nose was definitely broken. I moved my hands, which were covered in blood, confirming my suspicions, and looked up at Michael. His face went from one of anger and determination, to one of shock and regret. He looked at his hands, which were covered in blood from my nose and some of his shoots on Eggman. His body started shaking and he looked absolutely terrified. I reached out and was about to talk to him when he ran away at full force.

Everyone came to check on me and I told them I was fine, but I couldn't help but worry about Michael. I hope I'm wrong, but I got the terrible feeling that this would be the last time I ever see him.
