While Sonic was searching for something to eat - he wished he had accepted Mrs. Tsukinos offer - he nearly ran into his two-tailed buddy. "Tails! Good to see you, buddy! Where have you been?"
"Sonic!" Tails seemed pretty excited. "Do you remember Ami?"
Sonic scratched his head? "Huh? Amy? As in 'pink hedgehog girl that follows me everywhere and is mighty jealous of Usagi even regarding the fact that she's NOT my girlfriend'? That Amy?"
Tails shook his head. "Not Amy Rose! Ami, spelled with an 'I'! You know... Ami Prower, my little sister!"
"Aaaah," Sonic shouted. "Now I gotcha. Isn't she the clever blue fox that you always babble with about your gadgets and inventions? She's a computer nerd, isn't she?"
Tails frowned. "Sonic, you're talking about my sister here. Yeah, I mean her! She's back in town, you know? She went to Europe for a student exchange program. She was so excited to see me again... Oh, I told her she could take a look at the Tornado, is that okay? It's your plane, after all."
Sonic nodded. "Sure, no problem. But wait a minute... I thought she was a computer whiz. Aren't mechanical things your specialty?"
"Well, that's true, but she also wanted to see if she could install some kind of on-board computer, as a navigation system, you know?"
"Hey, sounds pretty cool. Your sis really knows her stuff, right? So, what are you working on at the moment?"
Tails' tails twirled around in excitement. "Well, I'm testing out this new power supply of mine... if it works, we can fly a plane without having to worry about fuel any more. Wouldn't that be great? I already built a small plane which I'm going to use as a test. But I need some stuff from the store, so I have to hurry, or they close."
"Okay!" Sonic waved after his fox-friend. "But tell me how it works, right? Oh, and tell the computer whiz I said hi!"

The blue, robotic hedgehog approached the cage. "Well, how are we today, kittycat?" he mocked. "Missing your white-furred tomcat?"
The black cat (a normal, four-legged cat with a crescent moon symbol on her forehead) stood up and hissed. "Spare me your dirty jokes, Mamoru! Where did you take Artemis?"
The robot seemed to frown. "Don't call me that anymore! I'm Metal Sonic now! And I live only to serve my master!"
"You're a traitor! You're supposed to assist our princess in her fight against evil... and here you are, working together with an evil man like Robotnik!"
Metal Sonic shook his head. "You shouldn't be so rude, Luna," he said. "I thought you wanted to see your friend..."
"Where did you take Artemis?" Luna demanded to know. "What did you do with him?"
"Well, why don't you see for yourself?"
The door to the cell block opened again, and a white robot with stilt-like legs and cannons instead of hands stomped inside. On his chest plate, the numbers 'E101' were being written.
Metal Sonic made a gesture towards the white robot. "Say hello to your boyfriend, Luna... the ex-tomcat!"
In a mechanical voice, the robot spoke: "Unit E-101, code name: Beta, ready for instructions!"
Luna gasped as she recognized the voice. "Artemis! What did he do to you?"
Metal Sonic laughed. "He can't hear you, Luna... All he can hear now are Dr. Eggman's orders... and mine!" He pointed to the black cat. "Bring her into the machine room!"
"Yes sir," E-101 Beta replied. "I will comply." He turned his right cannon into a pincer-like hand and grabbed the mooncat. Ignoring her cries of protest, he carried her to the chamber, where she would become a servant of Robotnik... like he became himself!
