Chapter 1: Bonding of Metal
Metal Sonic was sitting alone in an abandoned room, in a mostly abandoned base. Eggman was currently working in the base, for whatever reason. Metal Sonic looked over his life well he waited for his programming to burn out. He then remembered what happened when he was known as Metal Madness. He was acting out of rage…wait what? He had acted out of anger? How was it that he didn't know that? It was at that moment that Metal Sonic decided that he himself was an idiot. He decided to look over his life, and see where he stood.
He hated Eggman, but most Eggman's robots hated him. He hated Sonic, but he didn't know if that was because of programming, or because of Sonic beating him when he was Metal Madness. Did he hate anyone else? He didn't believe so. It was at this moment Metal Sonic asked himself what he wanted to do from now on. He decided seeing how far he could push Sonic and Eggman.
Who ever said the bad guy couldn't win for once?
Breaking him from his thoughts, Metal Sonic heard a bang, and the unmistakable shout of "Curse you, Sonic the hedgehog!" Metal Sonic could have smirked, if only he had a mouth. You see, this base was the base where Eggman kept all his failed robots, or robots he just got bored of.
There was thousands of robots here, some were lucky enough to be deactivate, some, with more noticeable personalities, were kept awake and chained up so they could for ever be tormented. Metal Sonic wasn't even chained up, it was just that Eggman had told him to stay in the room. He could now finally decide for himself and he was getting out.
Metal Sonic got up from his cold spot on the floor, and punched the door, making said door fly off its hinges. Metal Sonic felt like smirking even more, he was still powerful.
It was at this time that Metal Sonic remembered that Eggman organized the scraped robots in a alphabetic order. He started walking to the B section of the rooms. There was one robot he had only talked to once before and Metal Sonic had found funny. Not in a 'keep around for laughs' kind of funny, more a 'Guy you can joke around with' kind of funny. Well he walked he thought of other robots he could bring along for the ride.
He would have grabbed more robots, if it weren't for the fact that most of Eggman's robots with their own minds were so annoying. He then started thinking of ways to give Eggman and Sonic trouble. He would need an army, and he had no plans.
"This should be fun." He said to himself. It took three more minutes to get to the B section. Shortly after Metal Sonic stopped in front of a door. The door read in big blue letters 'Bokkun'
Metal Sonic entered the pass code, and the door slid open.
"It's about time you came back for me! What did I ever do Eggman?" The childish robot wailed, his eyes were closed so he didn't notice it was Metal Sonic till he opened his teary eyes.
"You're not Eggman…Metal Sonic?" Bokkun asked, confused. Metal Sonic looked him over, and cringed in his head. Eggman had been fairly cruel to Bokkun. He was upside down, his arms were chained to the walls, but his arms were crossed behind his back.
"Correct. I'm here to offer you freedom. Freedom from Eggman, and the power to get anything you want." Bokkun looked as if he was thinking it over. It made sense for him to think it over. Eggman was an idiot, but a smart idiot. He didn't plan things out perfectly when fighting Sonic, but he knew to put a fail-safe in all of his robots. Even Metal Sonic knew he had a bomb in his chest, ready to go off whenever Eggman pressed a button. Metal Sonic was sure that Bokkun had something similar somewhere in his body. Bokkun let out a sigh.
"If you can get me out of these chains, I'll come with you." Metal Sonic nodded his head. And within ten seconds, the chains holding Bokkun in place had been broken, and Bokkun fell to the floor hitting his head.
"Ow, but thanks!" He got up from the floor and dusted himself off. Metal Sonic took note of the fact that Bokkun was having a struggle to stay standing. He most likely couldn't move very fast like that.
"I know the layout of all of Eggman's robots. We will have to see what's up with you." Metal Sonic offered Bokkun a piggy back ride, which Bokkun accepted. Metal Sonic ran slower than normal so Bokkun wouldn't feel any pain. They arrived at the laboratory part of Eggman's base. He set Bokkun down on a table and took an X-ray. Why? Metal Sonic knew they was something different about Bokkun, and he was going to find out.
When he looked the X-rays over he was shocked, Bokkun had a heart beat! The X-rays also told of metal bones within Bokkun's body, and the thing that shocked Metal Sonic the most was that one of his lungs was robotic. That was why Bokkun seemed so different, he was a cyborg! Metal Sonic, after calming down and looking over every nook and cranny of Bokkun's X-ray, found that the bomb was planted in a small space between Bokkun's ribcage and stomach.
Bokkun was sleepy, and hungry. He never found out why he could eat food, but he still loved to eat. Only problem was that if he didn't eat it hurt so much that he wanted to drop. And he still never knew why.
"Time to start." Metal Sonic spoke out of nowhere. He placed a gas-mask over Bokkun's mouth and watched as Bokkun lost consciousness. It really didn't take that long for Metal to find the bomb and take it out. Then he patched Bokkun up, and looked at the terrible stitch job he had given. That could take a while to heal.
Bokkun took a while to wake up but when he did he wasn't in the lab any more.
This is the Kitchen! He thought to himself in joy, this had been his favoured room in the whole base when he was working for Eggman, for two reasons. 1, he loved food. 2, it was calm in this room, no explosions, ever.
So when he realised that he was in his beloved room, what did he do? He jumped the fridge, that's what! He was amazed to see that there still some good cake in there. Boy did he love his cake. Said cake filled him up and it didn't hurt any more. He found much easier to stay standing. Then he remembered how he got out of the forsaken chains, it had all been because of Metal Sonic.
"Metal Sonic! Where are you?" Metal Sonic was standing just outside of the kitchen, keeping watch for Eggman. When he heard the young cyborg, Metal entered the room.
"Bokkun, I need your help." Metal Sonic asked monotone.
Bokkun's mouth hung open. What could Metal Sonic possibly need from him? Metal Sonic led Bokkun back to the lab. He then explained to Bokkun that he wanted him to remove Metal's bomb.
"What?" Bokkun was terrified. Why would Metal Sonic trust him with something like that? One mistake and he was done for.
"I removed your bomb, and if we are to rebel against Eggman, we can't allow him an advantage." Bokkun nodded at the information, but it didn't make it easier to swallow.
"I guess we need to do this then. Just, lie down." Metal Sonic did as asked, and Bokkun found a tool chest. Over the next thirty minutes Metal Sonic walked Bokkun through the removal of the bomb, and Bokkun didn't make a single mistake. Metal Sonic was pleased by this, as the bomb had been placed around his power cells. One tiny thing done wrong and he would exploded.
After Bokkun was done patching Metal Sonic backup, they was a lull in their conversation.
"So Metal, why'd Eggman throw you in a place like this?" Bokkun broke the silence with a question that had been annoying him all day.
"I grew beyond my programming, and refused to listen to Eggman's orders. I was stopped by the Sonic Heroes and Eggman stole me from them." Bokkun nodded, he had heard about that. "And you Bokkun? Why were sent to this base?" Bokkun's reaction to this question was confusing to Metal, Bokkun's cheeks became a brilliant red colour, and he looked away from Metal Sonic.
"I'd rather not say." the lull returned, but not for long.
"Bokkun, earlier you called me Metal, instead of Metal Sonic. Why is that?" Metal Sonic could find no reason to shorten his name, so he had to ask for Bokkun's.
"Well, I just figured if you hated Sonic so much you wouldn't want to be reminded all the time when people address you." Metal wanted to smile, but couldn't. He got up, and returned to planning mode.
Metal knew the last thing he needed before he and Bokkun left the base. He managed to find one of the five Chaos Emerald detectors that Eggman had ever built.
"We are prepared, Bokkun here is your mission, find one of Eggman's giant robots, break it and use this to teleport it to Lake Sliver." Metal gave Bokkun a white ball with a blue button.
"Where's Lake Silver?" Bokkun asked as he looked at the white ball.
"Catch a cab." Was Metal's simple response, "Well you do that I'm going to go Emerald hunting." The two walked out of the base, Bokkun went flying one way, and Metal started walking another.
