"…e-lo? …Hello? Metal, are you active?"

I activate my optical receptors to see who has awakened me. Unsurprisingly, it is a large man in a red coat with a large wisp of facial hair on his upper lip. My creator, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, nickname "Eggman". A wide grin stretches across his face as he sees me return to life.

"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Splendid! For a moment there, my boy, I feared you had not survived the procedure!" Procedure? What was he speaking of? "Oh, dear, you must still be restoring your memory files…after your last accomplishment of sealing the beast called the Ifrit, it seems Shadow assaulted you, removed your Chaos Emerald, and used it to escape that prison dimension. Do you recall?"

Yes, I recall. You have your story wrong, though. So as not to confuse him, however, I nodded my head.

"Yes, I thought you would. Well, regardless, I was able to modify your systems so that you may have access to all of your prior functions using your standard power supply. Isn't that grand?" If I could've smiled and rolled my eyes, I would have. However, I simply respond in the standard fashion.

"Affirmative, doctor. All systems are fully operational." The man laughed and hopped up and down, marveling in his success. At this, any organic creature would have laughed, I suppose. The doctor quickly stopped and coughed loudly, attempting to hide his joy, I assume.

"Yes, well, while it is gladdening that you are well, you have been out of commission quite a while. You should go to the Training Area in order to get the cricks out from your joints. Let's go, now, doctor's orders." He smiled beneath his mustache.

"Understood. Heading to Training Area now." I hopped off of the bed on which I had been inactive on and walked over to the door. However, as I prepared to exit, I had a thought. "Query: where is the Training Area?" The doctor facepalmed.

"Oi…just head to the bridge and ask for Ergo. He will take you there." With a quick nod I exited the door and shot off to the Bridge in a Sonic Boom.

You are most likely asking yourself who I am and just what is transpiring. Well, I shall inform you. This is the Egg Carrier, the flagship of the world's greatest scientific mind. I reside here with Doctor Robotnik, who bears with me almost a father-son bond.

As for whom I am? I am known as E-59 to my mechanical family. You, however, may refer to me as Metal Sonic. I was created for the original purpose to eliminate the world-renown hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, the one who I resemble.

But do not be fooled. I am the elite, I am the new age, and I am my own.

I am nobody's copy.
