Heart Of Metal

Prologue

Rain fell on the roofs of Station Square, falling in thick, grey sheets. Somewhere in the city a dog howled. Hidden in the clouds, a floating ship loomed over the city, its sides portraying a logo composing a grinning face with a large moustache. Inside the control centre Dr Eggman added the finishing touches to his machine. The machine itself was simple looking; a glass tube with a keyboard on its side, yet its appearance was deceiving. A thin, nasal voice rang out from the only door out,

"Finished sir?" Eggman shifted and turned around,

"Quiet Snively or I'll make you regret me saving you from that dying planet Mobius"

"Sorry Dr Robo…Eggman" The diminutive figure retreated, muttering inaudible curses. Eggman turned his attention back to the machine. He plugged in a wire to the keyboard and sat down in his 'controller seat', as Snively called it. He pressed a few keys and the Eggman logo, painted directly in front of the controller seat opened up, revealing a shiny, blue hedgehog head. The metal hedgehog rose from the floor and floated in front of Eggman,

"Your orders sir?" it intoned in a cold, metallic voice,

"Metal, find me the hedgehog Amy Rose and bring her here unscathed or else" replied Eggman

"As you wish Dr Eggman" intoned Metal Sonic. He left through the door and exited the ship. Dr Eggman laughed loudly, 'Now Sonic' he thought 'I have you'.
