The metallix merely rolled his eyes. "You are hardly one to judge, fake hedgehog."

Woah. Shots fired. Omega looked tentatively in Shadow's direction, wondering if the egregious display of anger was going to rile him up. They did need information, true... but Omega wasn't the type to play the rational role. "SO YOU DO KNOW SOMETHING?"

Fake hedgehog? What did that mean? What did he know? The Ultimate Lifeform bared his clenched teeth, fists shaking. Metal Sonic was teasing him and all he wanted to do was beat the information out of him. “And what is that supposed to mean? At least I’m not a failure throwing a tantrum because I want to be something I’m not.”

The metallix scoffed. "You judge me as a failure when you are a failure of your own. Destroy me and be done with it."

Now...? Now could they blow him up? "THIS IS GOING NOWHERE. BLUE REPLICA, YOU WILL ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, FAILURE?"

Shadow leaned in and grabbed at the side of Metal Sonic’s head, kneeling down to be eye level with the cobalt Metallix. “I won’t destroy you.” He said coldly. “I’ll keep you as just a head if that’s what it takes. Carrying you around as a useless paperweight until you tell me what I want to know. Once you do, I’ll gladly allow Omega to unleash his arsenal upon you if that’s what you wish.”

Metal met the hedgehog's glare with one of his own. "Then I suppose we both lose." His eyes switched off.

"... PERHAPS WE SHOULD SECURE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO HIM AND BLOW IT UP?" Always full of helpful suggestions, this one. He hated to be so frustrated at an interrogation. He was used to having a firm upper hand.

The hedgehog scoffed as he rose to his feet, roughly shoving Metal’s head as he released him. “I don’t think there is anything left for him. Whatever that transformation he used was, it seemed to be the culmination to what he was attempting.” He turned to Omega, glancing over his shoulder slightly. “He has nothing left now. He won’t talk if he doesn’t care what happens.” What now? He had no leverage, nothing to threaten Metal Sonic with…answers were right infront of him but he had no way to pry them from the metallix.

"A CONUNDRUM... MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH." Omega was not built to play nice. He was a robot with an arsenal of bullets, not an arsenal of a vocabulary, and he wanted to help as much as he could... though catching flies with honey when you just tried to give them the swatter seemed counterproductive. "IN EXCHANGE FOR INFORMATION..." He boomed. "WE WILL GRANT A REQUEST."

A mechanical growl emanated from the motionless robot. "Like what? What could you possibly offer me?"

“What is it you want?” Shadow spat as he whirled around to face Metal again. The idea of promising to do him a favour, after all he’d done, the fight they’d just endured against him, stung. They shouldn’t have to, Metal should not have the advantage here and yet…

"SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DESIRE. IN THIS DOWNTRODDEN STATE OF YOURS, YOUR PRIDE MUST BE THE MOST WOUNDED THING OF ALL." Way to help, Omega. "WE... CAN HELP." He practically spat out those last few words.

For a few moments the metallix laid there in complete silence, his eyes still completely dark. For a moment it seemed as though he might have switched himself offline again. Then his eyes slowly lit back up again. His joints creaked as he pulled himself into a sitting position. "Take me back to Eggman... without attacking him. And you..." he directed his glare toward Shadow in particular. "You are to never try to replace me again."

“Wh-What?!” It was a sudden mix of anger and shock. The first hint at Shadow’s past that felt genuine and it was this accusatory demand. “I did not try to replace you!” As soon as the words left his mouth on impulse, the thought sprouted…what if he had? He didn’t remember. He didn’t know what kind of person he’d been, what his history with Metal was. That’s what he was here for and this machine was seemingly taunting him with that. “What do you know?!”

"LIAR!" Metal Sonic roared, his eyes glowing like two beacons. "I saw what you and Eggman did to the moon, I know you are the reason he abandoned me. I told you already that you have no past - because your purpose was to replace me, you FAKE!"

That struck Shadow numb. His eyes widened as he just stared back at the enraged metallix. He had seen it on his journey with Omega and Rouge…the shattered moon. He did that…with the Doctor? Slowly Shadow tilted his head to look down at his hands. What had he done? “I worked for…Dr Eggman? I helped destroy the moon?”

Omega was a little bit jealous. Getting to destroy the moon. Of course, he wouldn't voice as much, but that kind of grand destruction was something to take pride in... ... just, not at the moment. Omega was as clueless about this as he was. "EXPLAIN. AS YOU CAN SEE, HE BEARS NO RECOLLECTION OF SUCH EVENTS."

The metallix scoffed. "My information is limited as I was not there. Regardless," he shot a dirty glare at Shadow. "Whatever scheme Eggman had, you clearly failed. You have no right to judge me." His eyes dimmed slightly. He dug his claws into the dirt. "You are no different than I am. A failed and discarded weapon." Looking toward the ground, his eyes dimming even further, he grew silent as he contemplated his own failure. It had taken him months to track down Eggman. He had spent weeks crafting his plan. It was the culmination of all his effort, all his cunning. And it failed spectacularly. And now he sat there being interrogated by the very person who had replaced him in the first place. He had nothing left. His eyes nearly went black again, and he began to fall over, hitting the dirt like a pathetic ragdoll. " Just destroy me already."

The words hurt to hear but…he had to know the truth. As difficult as Metal had been, he had no reason to lie now, beyond pure spite. True it may all still be lies but there was one way to be sure. His voice losing all its anger, Shadow glanced to Omega. “Let’s go. We need to get back to Doctor Eggman.” If he had been just another living weapon, he would know for sure. But that didn’t mean that was still who he was.

"I CONCUR, THIS IS ALL WE ARE GOING TO GET. YOU'RE RIGHT." Omega glanced back at Metal, contemplating his last request. "ONE DAY, YOU AND I WILL MEET AND IT WILL BE A FAIR FIGHT. THAT DAY IS NOT TODAY." What fun was it to destroy a metallix that was crumpled up in a heap on the ground? Still... they had a promise to fulfill, didn't they?

Letting out one of his Hmphs, Shadow grabbed and hauled Metal over his shoulder before looking about at his surroundings. “Assuming the Doctor is still aboard his ship, we may need help getting back up there…and that girl will still be expecting me.”

"THE RABBIT GIRL, YES." Not keen on seeing his creator again anytime soon, Omega glanced Shadow's way. "IF YOU WOULD TAKE HIM, I'D FIND IT EASIER RESTRAINING MYSELF."

Typical. It was probably for the best though as Omega being in the same room as Eggman and not attacking him was asking for a miracle. Still… Shadow looked up to the sky, trying to see if he could even still make out the Egg Fleet. How were they getting back up there? He couldn’t expect Cream to carry them all. Speaking of. The hedgehog offered Metal up to Omega. “Watch him. I need to go talk to her before we leave…See if you can think of a way of getting to the Doctor.”

"AFFIRMATIVE." Perhaps too affirmative. Omega's vice grip closed quickly around Metal and it'd be a hell of a fight to let go. As for getting to the doctor... Well, Omega had all kinds of programming related to Eggman, so it couldn't be too hard... could it?

"Mister Shadow!" The rabbit, apparently, had wasted no time in talking to her mother - she was emerging from the cluster of houses with what looked like a wicker basket, lugging it awkwardly along as she scurried back over the damp grass. "Oh! Um...." She paused, looking at Omega... what was his name? She couldn't quite remember. "Hello! Er... I don't suppose you eant anything to eat...."

Speak of the devil. Shadow still felt so out of place next to this overly friendly girl. One who…had brought food in a wicker basket. He suspected had Rouge seen this, she would be laughing. Though his initial plan had been to bid goodbye to Cream and begin the search for Eggman immediately, the mention of food reminded the hybrid once more of that ache in his stomach. Lingering on the basket for a moment, Shadow turned his attention to Omega, holding Metal Sonic, then up to the sky where he had come from. Getting back up would be a hell of a lot harder than getting down and Eggman had numerous labs and bases so perhaps the better option would be patience. As much as he wanted answers, blindly trying to find some way back to the Egg Fleet seemed the least profitable path. “Omega.” He finally spoke, still staring into the hypnotic mix of blue and white above. “Do you have any information on bases the Doctor currently still has in operation?”

"... IT SEEMS YOU AND I ARE ON DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS, SHADOW." Shadow would spare his life if possible, wouldn't he? While Omega couldn't compute why, he knew Shadow better than he knew any other of the squishy beings in this world. "'FACING THE MUSIC'. A TERM FOR FACING CONSEQUENCES. I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SUGGEST OTHER THAN VIOLENCE." Omega gave pause. "THOUGH I REALLY DON'T WANT TO." The robot knelt before Metal, curious as to its motivations. "I DO NOT THINK YOU TRULY DESIRE THROWING EVERYTHING AWAY. THERE IS SOMEONE YOU ARE STILL LOYAL TO THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO FAIL. I REMEMBER THAT 'YOU'." Another pause. "YOU ARE MORE FUN TO FIGHT WHEN YOU AREN'T BEING MISERABLE. WHERE IS THAT PERSON NOW?"

Where was that person now? Where was that person now?It was a ridiculous question. Omega had seen what Metal had tried to do. He had fought him himself - had seen the other Sonic fight him. That person had been destroyed, left behind on the flagship they had just dragged him from. What did Omega expect from him now? Metal had given everything he was capable of in that fight. He had usurped and imprisoned his own master, stolen the life data from several people, transformed himself. And for what? At this point, his motivation didn't even matter. Despite taking on his super form, the other Sonic should have been no match. And yet there the metallix laid - the broken and humiliated hunk of scrap he was - his pride and dignity completely shattered. He was nothing but a failure. He was a failure from the very first task he had ever been given, a failure at the very thing he was designed to achieve, and a failure at the bitter end. There was nothing left for him. The only thing he was now was a set of parts waiting to be repurposed. Where was that person now. Feh. " Go back to your closet, Omega." he hissed.

Cream shifted her feet, looking uncomfortably between the three. Oh dear... none of her mother's careful lessons on manners and social niceties really prepared her for this. How was she to deal with this? By doing what she knew, she decided. The little rabbit waddled to Shadow's side with the basket lugged behind her, sparing a wary glance to Metal and a tentative smile to Omega before opening the basket and lifting out what appeared to be some sort of bun with a savory filling. "Here - it's mushroom! It's good for a night like this... oh, and there's a thermos of tea...." She dove into the basket, emerging a moment later with the promised thermos and offering it to Shadow as she looked over at Metal again. "So... er... what are we going to do? Is Mister Metal Sonic... um...." She trailed off, snub nose scrunching as she tried to decide how to finish the question.
