"Why does he always beat me?" mumbled the scientist to himself as he made his way down a metallic corridor. A door slid noiselessly open and closed again once he passed it.
"What is it that makes him so much… better?"
A few beeps sounded as he pressed three buttons and continued on to the end of the room. Down the end was a desk, covered in blueprints and surrounded with scrunched up failed plans. For Eggman, 'back to the drawing board' wasn't just an expression.
He sat down in the chair positioned in front of the desk with a sigh. He slid some of his basic badniks plans to one side and picked up a pencil. "I need something new, something…powerful." Robotnik drew a triangular shape before throwing the paper to the floor.
"No. Think." He reached up to the far right corner on the desk and pulled a sheet from the 'Metal Sonic' pile. He stared, contemplating his favourite design.
"There was always something with the Metal Sonics." They were powerful, so much like the one they were copied from that they had even turned on Eggman themselves.
"But never could finish off that hedgehog." What was it that made him that hero?
His speed?
Sure that factored in, but it was something else. As much as Eggman shuddered to be that corny, it was the power of teamwork. The power of…-shudder- friendship, compassion, love. It might corny but I can never berate him for that. It was the simple truth.
He allowed his pencil to scratch against the paper aimlessly while he stared at the blue hedgehog's robotic copy. How could he improve it? Give it the features needed to finally defeat the thorn in his side? Eggman looked down, and was surprised by the shape he had absentmindedly drawn. His eyes lit up as it came to him.
It was brilliant.
He started to draw another line.
He couldn't add much to Metal Sonic, he had to do something else. Giving new guns or skills wouldn't help. Robotnik's pencil started to go faster as his mind raced ahead with the details.
Making a Metal Knuckles or Shadow Android wouldn't help. He added two curved lines. Eggman was sure that he'd done that before.
No, this needed to be something else.
Eggman gave a mix between a smirk and a sneer as his new invention started to take shape on the paper.
This would be the most effective thing to deal with that blue rodent while making Metal the most feared of his arsenal. Robotnik started to add some of the finer details when he froze. He had been wrong; Metal Sonic would need one new instalment.
Feelings.
The pencil started to draw notes on the other piece of paper in front of him, detailing what was to be done.
For, how would this work as well as planned if Metal didn't have the proper… feelings about his new work?
Of course, he'd have to remember to control what feelings Metal Sonic was allowed. Wouldn't want him getting any ideas.
He moved back to the figure he had started and started to add another metallic plate here, a spike or two there…
He held it up, noticed what was missing and continued on.
Yes. This would be the perfect way to enable Metal to defeat him. Robotnik changed the copy's bob of hair to have more of a…spiky finish. The dress to have more of a sharper edge. The hammer to have more of a cutting impact.
For whether the spiked menace knew it or not, he drew his strength from this girl. And maybe, just maybe, Eggman let out an evil chuckle, my new creation could be Metal's answer to Sonic's Amy Rose.
