I decided to write the first chapter right away.

If anyone who reads this likes it, could he say he does in a review? Pretty please?

Okay, enough of that. Let's go.


She couldn't believe her eyes. It was him. Metal Sonic. Cream thought she would never see him again, not after he was defeated a month ago. But he wasn't exactly in good shape. Sparks were flying from him and his left arm was just hanging by his side. He was looking. at something. He was looking at the Chaos Emerald! He wanted it, she knew. Without warning he spoke:

"Unit requires Chaos Emerald. Give Chaos Emerald to unit and unit will not harm entity Cream."

He was... scary, to say the least, but Cream found the courage to ask:

"W-Why do you want it?"

He actually thought about that for a moment. Why did he want it? For Eggman? Or... for himself? He decided on the latter.

"Unit requires Chaos Emerald to increase unit's power. Unit can then become the Overlord again."

"Why do you want that?"

"Question illogical. Why would unit not want to become the Overlord? Overlord grants the unit more power."

"You do this for power? Why?"

"Entity's question again illogical. Power will make unit better that the original. Unit will then terminate the original."

"You want to kill Sonic." of course, she knew as much, but she had a question no one else could answer: "Why do you hate him so much?"

"Entity Sonic was here first. Everyone respects entity Sonic, everyone fears unit. If unit terminates entity Sonic, everyone will respect unit."

"No! They'll just fear you more!"

"Does not compute. If unit is the only Sonic left, unit will be respected."

"If you kill Sonic, everyone will hate you, not respect you. Killing him won't help you!"

"But... if unit is the only Sonic..."

"You won't be the 'only Sonic', everyone will remember you as the one who killed Sonic!"

"Entity... Cream... is... logical." he admitted "Unit will not gain anything if it follows primary objective. Therefore, unit has no purpose. Unit will terminate itself."


As he wanted to leave, he heard her shout:

"Wait! You don't have to destroy yourself!"

"Why? Unit has no purpose."

"Well, make a new one. How about making friends and just being."

"Word ,friend, not found in unit's database. What is the meaning of friend?

"Well, how could I explain it?" she thought for a moment, then said "Well, a friend is someone you care for. Someone who you comfort when they're sad or help them when they need it."

"Word meaning saved. Unit has no... friends. Unit is alone."

"If it helps, I can be your first friend." to this he lifted his head.

"Is entity serious? Will entity Cream be my... friend?

"Of course I will!" she smiled at him. He felt a new feeling, one he didn't feel before: happiness.


At that moment, one of Metal's internal alarms went off.

"WARNING, WARNING." he shouted "Emergency reactor malfunction. Unit is losing power."

"Oh, dear. We should get you to Tails. He'll know what to do!"she sounded worried.

"SEARCHING... Tails the fox... mechanic, builder. Has sufficient skills to repair unit. Must find entity Tails."

"Yes, let's go"

She grabbed his working hand and helped him walk. He didn't have enough energy to activate his thruster. She slowly lead him to Tails' workshop.


Well, that's chapter one. I hope at least someone will like this. Remember, Every coin has two sides. Heheheh.
