This is the first fan fiction that I wrote (err… typed) that is being placed on the Internet and might receive feedback from someone besides my biased parents. Just so you know.

Also, in this story I will make references to Sonic Heroes. When I refer to Metal Sonic as being Metal Overlord form, I am referring his form that looks normal with white stripes and not the monster form that the title went with in the game. I call that one Metal Madness. Hopefully, I don't confuse you too much with this.

--Somewhere ominous--

"Don't let him get away!" A robotic creature known as Metal Sonic was furiously speeding down the hallway of a once abandoned military base. He was currently in Overlord form; this powerful entity had shape-shifting qualities. Blood red eyes darted toward a once tightly shut exit. Problem was it wasn't there; a big gaping hole took its place. A recorded roar from his voice chip echoed. A certain prisoner had escaped, and Metal Sonic was very angry...

--Station Square--

"Curses!" A fat, bald man with a big, brown mustache was leaning out of a hovering device. Shaking his fist with rage leaning forward, his leg doing violent twitches behind him. Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnic looked as though he might fall out. A string of insults poured out of this man's mouth. The target of this abuse was a blue colored teen hedgehog named Sonic. The 'blue blur' looked rather bored, until Eggman referred to him as a rodent. After that, Sonic took action. Sneakers thudded on the pavement, green eyes lit up with the thrill of saving the world, again. Using his incredible speed to do a spin dash at the hovercraft, the device went flying off into the distance. Eggman would have to continue his cursing elsewhere. Sonic did a fancy somersault as he landed.

"Show off," A red echidna was leaning casually against a wall. Sonic pivoted around to face Knuckles, for that was who it was, the guardian of Angel Island and the Master Emerald.

"Wat'cha doin' offa' da' islan'?"

"What? I'm afraid I haven't quite mastered the gibberish language..." Sonic chuckled; he had done that on purpose to see Knuckles' reaction.

"What are you doing off of the island?" Knuckles eyes darted away.

"Um… Well..." His face turned as red as his fur. "Uh...You see, um..." Sonic began to tap his foot impatiently.

"I'm waiting..."

"It's none of your business!" Sonic rolled his eyes. Knuckles was wishing they got stuck.

"Someone tricked you and stole the Master Emerald, right?" A fierce growl from Knuckles was all the answer he needed. Sonic made an annoying "tsk, tsk" noise and Knuckles took off. "Where are you going?" but Sonic knew. Knuckles went to get the Master Emerald back.

--Tails and Sonic's house-- An hour later

Tails, Sonic, and Knuckles were all in the kitchen. Sonic had to ask, "How did you get the Master Emerald back so quickly?" Knuckles response was,

"Well, it turned out Rouge took it."

Tails raised an eyebrow, "How did that help?" Knuckles again,

"Well, apparently... the Master Emerald smells bad." Sonic decided that he didn't want to know,

"Never mind, Knux,"

The doorbell rang. For a moment they didn't know who it was. Until they heard the war cry of ... Amy Rose!

"SONIKKU!" Sonic yelped loudly, and dove under the table.

"Shoot!" The door slammed open. Amy entered into the kitchen. She had this giddy look on her face. The pink hedgehog scanned the room. Her eyes locked underneath the table.

"What are you doing under the table?" Sonic immediately jumped out and back to his normal spot and acted like nothing was strange.

"Oh nothing," Sonic then proceeded into whistling loudly. Amy looked very confused for a moment and then remembered.

"I came here to tell you guys something."

"What's that?" It was obvious in their voices that they weren't really interested.

"I don't remember!" There was a loud crash outside, then sounds of utter chaos and destruction.

"Oh yeah! Metal Sonic showed up in Station Square a few minutes ago!" Now she had their attention. Sonic bolted up and was out the door within seconds. Tails and Knuckles were up as well. Tails explained to Amy that they had better check things out.

"Who knows what he could be up too?"

--Station Square--

Sonic sped into the main square. There he saw the robot look-alike. Even though Metal Sonic had no face, and was a robot, you could tell that he was mad. Cars were being thrown left and right, and every so once in a while Metal Sonic would roar. Yes, Metal Sonic was throwing a hissy fit. Sonic came to a screeching halt in front of the rampaging robot, Metal Sonic didn't even acknowledge Sonic's presence.

"Hey Metal Moron!" Now Metal noticed. Sonic had to dodge when Metal Sonic tossed a car at the poor hedgehog. Ever mechanical and ever cold and cruel sounding, Metal Sonic activated his voice chip.

"You disgusting copy. Go away pest,"

"Well, that sure was friendly M.S.!" Sonic's response earned him another truck thrown at him.

"So, Metal, What's this temper tantrum all about?" Sonic pestered, he didn't really care. He just wanted to annoy Metal. Said robot was in a mood to hurt someone. Specifically, a certain blue animal that was hiding behind the wreck that he'd just chucked at said blue animal. Metal Sonic advanced towards the wreck with a fire in his eyes.

--Ten minutes later--

Sonic was smashed mercilessly against a wall. He was getting his tail kicked. Thrown towards another wall, Sonic was starting to wonder where his friends were. Metal picked him up again, and threw him again. The positive part was that at least he wasn't throwing cars at random people anymore. Now he was just tossing Sonic at walls.

"Gotta' admit, you've gotten a little stronger since last time." Sonic was looking pretty banged up. Metal Sonic advanced towards him, hoping for one more toss... But where were Sonic's friends?
