Thump. Thump. Thump.

The sound of footsteps. It's getting faster over time. It would be normal if it was small, small enough for people not to be able to listen to. But it was loud. Too loud. But where did it come from? In the jungle. The jungle of Mystic Ruins. It was very dense. There is the ruins of where the Echidna Tribe lived inside of the jungle, but the woods was too dense, the place ended up buried deep inside. But this is not about the Mystic Ruins. It's about what is up inside the ruins.

"Seems like I've lost it." [?] took a deep breath. "Now I need to find a way to get out of here." He is stuck inside the woods, where a whole army of Metal Sonics are searching for him. A purple hedgehog. "I can't seem to take the ladder right now, they are gonna catch me if I do." The hedgehog thinks. "Well, I'll have to distract the robots." He picks up a rock, then throws it very far. His plan worked. A loud noise. The Metal Sonics flew to the place where the sound "originally" came from. As the robots fly away, [?] climbs up the ladder, then begins to run very far. The plan wasn't very efective, though. As soon as he ran towards the closed train station, the Metal Sonics are right behind him. "Damn! I need to run faster!" He thinks, as he enters the leftovers of the destroyed city of Station Square. One Metal Sonic, which haves an arm cannon, managed to land a shot on the hedgehog's body. The shot almost did mortal damage on him, leaving him vulnerable. The robotic Sonics then began to investigate his body, and took out a small bottle. Seems like a piece of Perfect Chaos. "Mission complete. Now heading back to the base."

The Metals flew away. [?], now lying on the floor, screams. "All is lost. My happiness. My curiosity. My litle sister. Now what's the point of living? I want to escape this life. Hnnnng... Why? Why don't you just let me die already? WHY? AAAAAAAA..."

"AAAAAAaaaa... Nothing's better than chili dogs for dinner!" A very carefree voice. It is the voice of the world's renowned hero, Sonic the Hedgehog. A hedgehog that is as blue as the Earth, the fastest thing alive. "Come on, Sonic, you might get hiccup if you eat that way!" And that's his sidekick, Miles Prower, though he often goes by the name "Tails". A two-tailed fox, and a very smart one. "Nah, don't worry, I'll be fine!" And just right after Sonic says that sentence, he choked. Tails took a sigh. "See? I told you to not eat like that. Oh, anyway, have you seen Knuckles?" "Yeah, he went back to Angel Island." Knuckles is an echidna, who lives on the floating island, and the guardian of the mystical Master Emerald. "So, Sonic, do you think that he may be tricked again? I mean, he's kinda gullible..." "Relax, Tails. I'm sure he'll be fine-" SLAM. The door opens. "An...y...one..." A weak voice. Both Sonic and Tails were shocked to see a heavily-damaged purple hedgehog, with his hand holding a USB stick, with a note saying:

"Open this. It contains my future."

Tails took the USB, sticks it into his laptop. Inside was a file called "README". He opened it. It says...

"If anyone is reading this, I'm probably dying. The thing is, I'm looking for my sister, and she wouldn't trust anybody other than me. So I need a new body, to find and protect her. The designs is inside the stick. My fate is in your hand. Please..."

Tails had a poker face. He isn't quite sure what is going on. He built a robot based on the design, brings the dying body into a machine, then begins the soul transplanting process. The robot wakes up. It is, a Metal Sonic, but red, and the hole on his chest is now a star. "Well. I am reborn. And it's all thanks to you." "No problem, but what will happen to your old body?" "Meh. It doesn't matter anyway, so just throw it all away." He ends his sentence, thus beginning a new chronicle for... "Metal Nope".
