Sonic bolted through the desert faster than the sun could rise. Hopping through his favorite rock formations. Dashing through the sand Sonic came to a complete stop when he saw the shiny structure covered in sand. It had been 9 months since Eggman had last been seen, could it be a factory? Sonic decided to grab his mobile communicator.
"Hey Tails you there?" Sonic called out. It had been a few years since the Hedgehog had seen his partner in crime, He was now 15 and didn't have enough time to accompany Sonic on all of his missions anymore. There was no answer. "Damn it Tails." Sonic muttered to himself as he entered.
The interior was dark and dusty, then the lights brightened and a singular figure could be seen in the window above. Eggman was looming over the factory floor. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Sonic the Hedgehog, come to see my newest way to kill you?" Sonic smirked, "Heh, is this anything like your last 23 times Egghead?" Eggman growled at the hedgehog's sly comment. "I've had enough of you Sonic! Now behold my latest and greatest creation, unlike anything you've ever seen!". A siren started to sound, the entire structure rumbled as sand and dust shifted and fell. Eggman had a devilish grin on his face as the floor opened as if it were an elevator. Sonic was a little thrilled to see what he had to destroy.
Suddenly the mechanical sound of an elevator rising screeched to a halt, the siren turned to silence, but the rumbling grew louder and louder. Suddenly smoke and fire erupted from the elevator, Sonic and Eggman looked on in confusion, "What!?" Eggman exclaimed becoming angrier as time went on. Suddenly the carcass of what looked to be an upgraded Death Egg Robot flew from the smoke and landed infront of Sonic.
Sonic managed to dodge the flying death ball and stared upon it's assailant. It was Bi-pedal and flying, one working glowing red semi-ring eye on it's left while the other remained blacked out. It's head cracked open and wires hanging out, It's nose silver and pointy, it's skinny arms dusty and tattered turning into thicker forearms and hands with silver sharp claws, it's legs the same but with a rag wrapped around the robot's leg before leading into a thicker shin, turning into a shoe, the right shoe had wires hanging out, sparks flew from the exposed wiring as it looked to Sonic. "S-Son-ic" it said in a broken voice, the dust cleared and Sonic could see it clearly. "Metal?" Sonic questioned getting ready for battle with his counterpart.
