Sonic, Classic Sonic and DonutSteel was staring at Central City, now filled with destruction from Eggman's empire. The dark red cloud created using the evil technology of the army was present, even as far away as West Side Island. Eggman succeed in taking Northamer and its surrounding ocean off the east coast. The blue hedgehog turned his earpiece on and spoke to Sally.
"Sonic, here! I'm getting a strange presence in this city. Eggman's goons have taken over this place".
"Something tells me evil is lurking within the buildings and paved roads of good old San Fran". Sally answered while studying at her laptop. "Split up and find robots to battle. We'll be watching from back home. Sally, out!".
Sonic nodded in satisfaction, the hedgehog telling his classic self and DonutSteel to split up into three sectors of Central City. They all agreed and rushed to different parts of the city. Classic Sonic searched the northern most part of the city, which included inspecting the two bridges connected from the pennisula. Sonic searched the mid-section of the city, running along avenues of straight road either heading up or down. DonutSteel searched the lower parts of the city, gaining the same speed as the two blue hedgehogs and getting this over and done. All they have in mind was the base of operations Eggman set up. They were willing to find it and smash to pieces, effectively lowering the empire. But wait, was the base really what is making the army as strong? DonutSteel searched and searched, he was eager to find the base before the two Sonics. What he found was not the base he wanted, but as he made his way down the boulevard of one Central City road. He sensed something was chasing him. The cyan hedgehog looked behind him and up to find a robot scanning him. He turned on the earpiece and waited for Sally.
"Something's chasing me?!".
"Something's chasing you indeed!". Sally watched the robot chasing the cyan hedgehog. "I can see the robot hanging onto your tail!".
"What is it?! Please don't tell me it's another boss fight!".
"I'm afraid so, DonutSteel". The princess delivered, opening up a tab of the boss' data. "Metal Sonic is chasing you!".
"Metal Sonic?!".
Sally nodded.
"He was created in the image of our blue hero, out of agressive, violent and cold-hearted machine with intelligence. He possesses an AI that allows him to make choices on his own! He has one mission and only one mission, is that of to kill Sonic! He's scanning you to see if he mistakens you for what he's really after!".
"Did you get that from the wiki, Or are you just making this up?!".
"I'm smart to know his personality traits, DonutSteel! Find a way to defeat him and prevent further disruption to our people! Sally, out!".
DonutSteel looked behind him once more, Metal Sonic still tracking him from above. He took a sharp U turn and ran below him, making him stop and turn back to him. DonutSteel lured the robot through some streets before he took a left through a national park located just outside the city. Metal Sonic found a hard time tracking him through thick trees. Before the cyan hedgehog made his way back to city, he looked beind him again and nothing but trees were surrounding him. He was sure he lost him, thus going back into the city via a different route. As he made his way back to the city, he found that his plan had backfired. Metal Sonic knew exactly where his location was through the trees and therefore greeted him outside of the national park.
"Looks like that plan didn't work after all...". The cyan hedgehog muttered to himself, by then the earpiece was communicated by a raspy voice.
"Metal Sonic has the capability of spying on us!". Sticks explained.
"How?! Explain this to me, feral pal!".
"Your journey through the forest was a doozy! He tracked you down, knowing where you was going to exit back into Central City! As a spitting image to Sonic, even his speed is matched, making him the strongest robots Eggman ever created!".
"Why are you explaining this to DonutSteel even though you hate robots like him?". Tails asked the badger, the cyan hedgehog hearing the kitsune's voice.
"I don't know! Looks like you have to get physical! Sticks, out!
DonutSteel got into his fighting stance, the badger explaining he needed to arm himself with his fists. Metal Sonic raised the Black Shield, protecting him from his attacks. Before he could copy DonutSteel's data, the cyan hedgehog performed a homing attack on him. The Black Shield protected him as the homing attack bounced off the energy field. He landed and realized he was shielded. He pulled out his grappling hook and ran circles around him, slighty confusing Metal Sonic. He performed a spin attack on DonutSteel, which he jumped in the air and tried to homing attack once more. His ball reared toward Metal Sonic's, his ball off the ground toward DonutSteel. He still had his grapple hook with him, deciding to shoot the nearest building he could find. His hook sent him entering Central City, with Metal Sonic following suit. As DonutSteel landed on a roof of a building, he charged up a spin attack to suprise Metal. But he had other plans. Metal Sonic hovered to the building with his jetpack shoes. He armed his fists, the metal counterpart doing the same. Both foes charged at each other, dodging punches and jumping over kicks. DonutSteel threw a punch at Metal using his right fist, the metal of his coating merely making a single dent in the body. Metal Sonic pushed the cyan hdgehog using both palms of his hands, sending the cyan hedgehog falling off the building. He used the grapple hook to launch himself back to the roof. Upon re-entering the roof, he kicked Metal Sonic in the head as he soared above him. Remembering he had a rope from the encounter with Zavok, he used it in the hopes of defeating Metal Sonic. He ran around the robot as fast as he could. Metal Sonic raising his Black Shield. However, the rope penetration the shield, using the burn of the rubbing. DonutSteel tied the end of the rope situated in his hands to the grappling hook. He shoot toward the fire of many buildings alight and wished Metal goodbye. The robot was flinged in the air, further away from the cyan hedgehog as he was sent hurdling toward the fire. DonutSteel turned on the earpiece again, informing Sally of the successful mission dealing with Metal Sonic.
"I defeated Metal Sonic, Sal! You can thank me later!".
"That's great news, DonutSteel!".
"I tied a rope to that bad boy and connected my grappling hook to the rope end my hands were using. He was sent hurdling toward the fire".
"But now you don't have a grapple hook".
"There must be an upgrade somewhere in this burning city that'll allow me to carry another grappling hook".
"You really sure?". Sally asked.
"I'm sure there will be something that;ll upgrade my stats and refill my inventory with grapple hooks. It's not like that hook was my only friend or something".
"M'kay, I believe you. Go back and help the two Sonics with their mission. I have a feeling they have been caught up in something too. Sally, out!".
"Roger!". DonutSteel turned back to the streets below and jumped of, performing a roll upon landing and making his way north toward downtown. It would seem that the Sonics was dealing with something while the cyan hedgehog had an encounter with Metal Sonic.
