The wolf began to laugh wildly. "Wait, let me get this straight" he said, barely able to contain his maddening laughter. Most mobians would be scared out of their wits, not laughing, but Ace had looked down the barrel of more than a few guns. He'd already decided that he was going to do whatever it took to live and he'd learned long ago that fear and survival didn't mix well. "So all you idiots are under the control of some coward, who sits at home all day, doing nothing?" Ace asked, assuming that this robot was a total moron. He decided that maybe, just maybe, he could have some fun playing some head games with this machine headed bolt brain. Besides, the more time passed, the more the wolf felt his strength return. He was going to do it, he was going to win this!
"And, haha, you think he, hahah, owns the world? Since when? I don't see his name on it! I've never even heard of the guy!" the wolf said, cracking up in uncontrollable laughter. This wasn't entirely true, he'd heard of the so called Warlord Julian who had staged the coup and that he'd changed his name to some obscure pseudonym. But Robotnik? The name was just too silly for the Wolf to believe. Surely this "Robotnik" idiot couldn't be THAT robot overlord, right? I mean, what was he, a B movie villain from 40 years ago? Ace couldn't stop cracking up at how obscene this was becoming.

Metal switched the side his head was leaning, eyes brightening a bit as he tightened his grip (and subsequently sunk his talons in deeper into the wolf's flesh). He wasn't sure what the strange barking noise Ace was making was supposed to mean, but he quickly found himself becoming agitated by it. "Robotnik controls most regions... with the exception of small... scattered... resistance groups..." he paused for a moment, then added "Do not question... my... intelligence..." Feeling quite annoyed by this point, the metallix began trying to muscle the wolf into walking.

Ace gritted his teeth, it was show time. His hand snapped out and grabbed Metal's wrist, the one attached to the claw currently digging into his flesh. "Don't question your intelligence?!" he asked incrediously, the tendons in his arm bulging. "Don't YOU question, MY spirit! EYAHHHHHHHH!!!" the wolf screamed as he began to pull at the claw. A horrible tearing sound, eerily resembling the sound of ripping paper, filled the wolf's senses. The pain was horrendous, but he didn't care. Pull! Pull! Pull! Pull! That one word was all he focused on. He pulled, harder and harder.
*sssshhrrrrriiiiiiippppp*
A chunk of flesh came free, still clinging to Metal's clawed hand. His shoulder was a sight that would make a young child surely cry; Ace didn't care. Still holding onto Metal's arm, he twisted about and pulled the robot forward. "I'll show you... that difference! That which you can never extinguish! I'll show you... MY BURNING COURAGE!" Ace cried out as he swung Metal in an arc, attempting to smash his head into the ground. 'God DAMN I'm corny' Ace thought as he made the attack.

[dice=11] As the wolf had intended Metal fell into the dirt. The robot curled into a break fall as he made impact, rolling himself out of the way and ending up in a crouched position. He glanced at the mess on his talons, and for a brief instant found himself intrigued by it. But only for an instant, as he still had other important concerns. He shook the mess loose and glanced up at Ace, straightening himself to stand upright. And once again he wrestled over what to do with the situation. After a moment, he lunged, attempting to pin the wolf against a nearby wall. "Logic does not compute. Why do you resist?"

[dice=9] "All my life, I've suffered!" Ace exclaimed as he dodged the incoming lunge with a side step. "All that pain, all that rage, all that sorrow!" The wolf exclaimed, panting heavily as sweat dripped from his brow.
"If it all ends now... then everything I've done up to this point, all I've learned, all my dreams, my thoughts, my life. All of them will mean nothing!" He explained slowly, crouching into a fighting stance. "For that... because of that... I'll do whatever it takes!", a sudden touch of madness overcoming his expression, as he continued, "If a wall blocks my path, I'll tear it down! If there is no path, I'll build one! I'll do it all!", he screamed. Suddenly, he dashed forward and charged at Metal, driving a ferocious fist towards the robot's face as he cried, "I'll do it all, with these hands!"

[dice=11] Even without his turbine to aid him, Metal had formidable reflexes. He took a step to the side, and at the same time snatched Ace's fist into his own, squeezing it tightly. He kicked his leg out afterward, intending to sweep the wolf's legs out from under him. [dice=11][rand=591332904244140526670898391585829566567283490991587132309160757]

As Ace tripped he reached out, grabbing for Metal's head. Twisting as he slammed into the ground, Ace attempts to bring Metal down with him and smash his face into the ground below with enough force to shatter bone. [dice=9][rand=5646943525678982092322822613787896992472108076815653301387417062]

[dice=11] Metal jerked after he was grabbed, and as the two slammed into the ground the robot remained unharmed as he grappled himself on top of the wolf. With barely a thought to his actions his talon shot out wound itself around the wolf's neck, and quickly Metal was back to his feet again, jerking the wolf up into the air with him. He was practically shaking with a strange sense of excitement, his programming blaring errors and questions at him for his strange behavior. This wolf had angered him, and there was just something about this situation that felt so... satisfying. "You words are meaningless. You will be roboticized." A jolt of electricity traveled down the arm holding him. [dice=11][rand=52405686848219480841675049610959383477216511646077686689681616011]

[dice=9] The electricity pumped into Ace's body. It burned, it stabbed, it tore through his mind, the pain rolled through his body as the voltage traveled through his body. He clutched onto the mechanoid's outstretched arm, trying to pry it away from his throat. The wolf gasped for air, his vision began to fade. It seemed like it was all over.
All over? The wolf's eyes snapped open as they focused eyes on Metal. Ace struggled with his vision's tendency to blur out with sheer will power. Those same eyes began to bleed from the eyelids as the current caused a blood vessel in his sinuses to burst. Blood began to flow freely from his nose as well, obscuring the scent of burning flesh that permeated the air around him. Screaming with rage and desperation, the wolf lashed out with his foot, slamming a kick directly towards Metal's chest.

[dice=11] Which had failed as the robot took it unphased. Deciding not to bother carrying the wolf by himself again and risk loosing him, Metal put out a call for reinforcements to come with a hoverpod to pick them up.[rand=7985741243531572578961530795251964268755646012438784702786646068]

His body still shaking from the voltage and grasping wildly at the cold metallic fingers clutched around his throat as he tried to suck air into his lungs that didn't seem to exist. He fought back against the darkness that seemed to close in from all around him and slowly, steadily, stealthily, slid his hand into his coat pocket...

Hark, for the Swaties have arrived, marching like the mindless drones they are. A group of them, followed by a Hover Unit that landed by, were approaching Metal. "Awaiting instructions."

[dice=9] Ace pulled his revolver out from his coat. It seemed his assailant hadn't taken the time to remove it. He couldn't help but find just a little humor in that, despite his dire situation. He saw the hover pod approach and a spark of madness gave him a ludicrous idea. Rather than firing at the robot currently choking him, he aimed a shot behind the robot and fired. Directly into rear bottom chassis of the hover pod, where the engines were obviously located. The antique weapon's cry echoed throughout the city as the shot rang out...[rand=4931666796940376370867052125851034058586269538849046498738298047]

All of that building rage and confusion seemed to melt away in an instant, as if the arrival had snapped Metal out of some daydream. All glimmer of conscious thought in the metallix's eyes faded as he straightened himself and prepared to release the wolf over to them. "Prisoner is to be detained for robotici--" BOWM!Either Ace had one hell of an eye or he'd made one hell of a lucky shot. Either way, milliseconds after the shot rang out the bullet found itself rupturing the fuel tanks, causing the hover pod to explode and fire debris in all directions. Metal had been unable to realize this in time, much less react, and as a result his hand relinquished its grip on Ace as he suddenly found himself being thrown from his spot and through the air. ((Oh look. My 666'th post >>))

[dice=6] BOOM!!! The head of the Hover Unit exploded like cars in a action movie. And more like an action movie, before that shot hit, the Hover Unit tried to fly away from it, but failed, the craft fell like a flaming comet, right into a chemical plant. Explosions erupted from the doors , and Worker-bots ran for their robotiziced lives. May those SWATbots in there rest in peace...that is if they can have an afterlife, which is HIGHLY doubtful. "Plant facility in ruins! Units investigate!" Some of the SWATs did so while the rest marched for Ace, readying their lasers. [rand=13509696424336473673711591816644870428343897838908147970960101658]

Unfortunately, Ace seemed to have vanished. Whether or not he'd perished in the explosion or simply managed to escape remained unknown. Metal peeled himself up from the ground after he'd finally landed and began running a diagnostic on himself. He looked around in some vague sense of confusion; where had that wolf gone? After a moment he took off walking to join the SWATbot troop searching for him. But it would soon become clear that they would not find him. It would soon become a bitter disappointment.
