After I saw the image of Nicole on the cover of Issue 255 of Sonic the hedgehog [thought it wasn't that good]

I went,... They gave Nicole, Blaze's Jacket! ^^;

but also a thought came to me. How is she fighting outside the city? the nanits don't have that much power and the main power for them come from the radioactive from the shielded Mobotropolis city that destroyed.

but then I remember the sad part for Shard the First original Metal Sonic in Archie comics, his Power stone was broken.

meaning something must happen where he ....might die and Nicole he give her his power stone. and in a last resort before his program soul is gone he use the energy to repair it the last of his will.

Nicole then take it in with nanits around her and BOOM her new body a body fully working she can leave the city and help out the others.

also a other thought why Shard might die is Doctor Nega take Shard body and rebuild it as his own Metal Sonic 3.0

also maybe Shard ask Nicole to try to Save Metal Sonic from Eggman's control.

who knows but What you think of this will this happen in Archie comics ?
