Metal Lord: Murder Drones

Chapter 2: Abilities



This can't be happening it just can't. This is so much worse than I thought. Sure yeah, in the world of Sonic the threats there are just as if not more dangerous than Murder Drones. However where there's powerful enemies there's also powerful allies. In Murder Drones however there is a powerful enemy and not many people to fight it off. Cyn, a dispatched worker drone that killed the entire human race and destroyed earth. The only thing that ends up killing Cyn is the combine efforts of V, N, and Uzi. Two disassembly drones and an infected worker drone with an Absolutesolver. If you're an average drone you're lucky if you didn't get killed by the technical protagonists of this world.

"OK calm Thomas Kirk, panicking won't help in this situation" I said to myself as I 'take a breather' and relaxed myself.

"It's true if you're an average worker drone you're screwed. However I'm not an average worker drone. I'm Metal now, which means I most likely have some kind of weaponry for battle and self-defense. The question is what can I do, I may resemble Metal Sonic in his Neo form but I was still made in this world. Which means I might have some similar abilities, but most likely very different ones as well. Only one way to find out".

I looked towards a few broken cars and decided to test out my strength on those first. While as much as I would like to start firing guns blazing all over the area. I have no idea how to even grasp the controls of said weapons. So for now my best options are to test the abilities I do have control over. So first option is strength.

As I walked in front of the car I grabbed it by the hood.

"Here goes nothing" I said to myself as I begin to lift the car up and to my pleasant suprised I was able to lift the car. In fact it took no effort to lift the car. I then started to crush the car down. As my clawed fingers clamp down on the car till it resembled a metal ball the size of an oven. I don't know if it's the excitement or maybe the childish side of me that always wanted superpowers since I was nine years old. But I threw the ball as hard as I could into the sky. The ball soared through the air very quickly as I lost sight of it. I know I should be a bit more cautious but after everything that has been going on I'm just glad to find some enjoyment out of my predicament. But it didn't take long for me to get serious again. Next is to test my speed.

Now while Metal supposedly has the same amount of speed as Sonic that's mostly when he's flying not running. So while I have no doubt I can run fast I suspect my flying will be much faster. But sadly I don't know how to fly, so for now I run. I stand in the middle of the desolate road as I get into a running position. After a second I run as fast as I can. The area around me seemingly blurs past me as I run. I can't calculate the exact numbers of my speed on foot but I guesstimate it's around 230 miles perhour. I slid to a stop as I allowed myself to take in the new area I am in.

I sighed to myself as I sat on top the hood of another car as I looked up to the sky and watch the stars. I am conflicted, on one hand I am trapped in the body of a fictional character in a world where being killed is common. But on the other hand do I really wanna go back? In my previous life my parents died when I was 18 years old. Since I was legally an adult in the eyes of the law I was out on my own. Neither of my parents had siblings so no aunts or uncles to help me and my grandparents were either too old or dead to take care of me. I then had to work hard working jobs to just stay afloat. I had to work for pennies just to barely pay off electric, water, and gas bills. But here I'm free, no responsibility to hold me down.

However despite that, that doesn't stop me from acknowledging my current threats. The main one being Cyn and that leads me to an important question. How involved should I be in the story? From what I can make out for the current time period I'm in I know it's sometime after the explosion on Copper-9. But I am unsure if it's before or after the plot of the story. I pray to whatever entity that hears me that it's before the plot. God knows I need as much time as I can get for preparation. Either way though how involve should I get? I know how the story ends. Uzi defeats Cyn after she eats her core. Even if I don't get involved the story should play out as it should. However at the same time I could help and save more people. I could save more students, I could save Doll, and possibly even save J.

Now of course J is a huge maybe. In the final episode it hasn't been made clear if J knew that Cyn was Tessa the whole time or not. However she did sided with Cyn as she saw Cyn to be the best side to be on at that time. After all in this world at the end of the day it all comes down to survival. So saving her and convincing her may not be possible but it would be worth a try. But even if I decided to stay out entirely from the story there's nothing that guarantees that the story won't change at all. My very existence might have already caused a butterfly effect to happen. So in conclusion, it's best that I get involved, and as soon as possible. Best time would be the start of the plot. That is if the plot hasn't started yet.

Then it's decided, and fortunate for me The Spire is within my sights despite the distance between me and The Spire.
