Hey there. This is my second fanfic I want to write along with the Tale of Darken.

This one focuses on my second most favourite character: Metal Sonic. The first one being Shadow.

I always thought he would make a good hero, if given proper reasons. In my fic he'll turn to the light on his own. After talking for a while to Cream. I agree with one of my favourite authors, Rae Logan, on this one. Cream seems to have a gift to make bad turn to good. Anyway, enjoy.


The machine sped through the forest. It was heavily damaged, it's left arm didn't even react to his commands anymore. Sparks were flying from every crack in it's armor. It was basically a flying piece of scrap-metal. After it's last battle with the 'original', which it lost, it's creator couldn't or didn't secure escort for it back to main base. Metal Sonic had seen better days.

After his near ascension to a god a month ago, when team Super Sonic defeated him, even in his Overlord form, nothing went well. Eggman retrieved him, almost completely deleted his memory, except for some files he couldn't get to for some reason. He then reprogrammed the ex-overlord completely and sent him to yet another battle with Sonic. Metal fought valiantly, of course, but he was still defeated by the 'original'. As was said, Eggman didn't bring him back to base, either because he couldn't or didn't want to. That made him angry. For the information Eggman couldn't access were the feelings he developed during his whole existence. And the most important memories. Namely, Sonic, the 'original', and a bit of his lust for power. He had blocked those memories personally He always had a backup plan, you see.

"Why did creator-Eggman not secure transport for unit?" Metal thought out loud. After his memory had been erased he returned to a more... robotic way of thinking and speaking.

"Was creator not satisfied with unit's performance? Unit performed to unit's best capabilities... why was creator not satisfied?"

"Did creator think unit was destroyed? Or did creator deem unit unworthy of repairs? Why would creator deem unit unworthy?"

The ex-overlord would've kept talking to himself, but his ,barely functioning, sound receptors picked up a sound. It was some sort of humming or singing. He followed the noise to a small clearing in the woods. There, he saw a small rabbit. He only saw her back, but that was enough to identify her.

"Entity identification in progress... SCANNING... Entity identified as 'Cream the rabbit'. Threat rating low." he hummed silently.

When she turned to him, he nearly short-circuited. She had a Chaos Emerald. The red one to be precise. His lust for power kicked in.

"Entity in possession of a Chaos Emerald. Unit must obtain Emerald."

He stepped out of the clearing. She gasped.


Well, that's the prologue. I'm guessing not many people will read this because of my intent to make Metal a good guy, but I like him that way. Like I keep saying 'Every coin has two sides'.

Plus I do this for fun. I find this relaxing. Try it, and tell me how you feel about it. And if people actually like the fic I'll be twice as happy.
