I'm still trying to learn how this whole thing works, so sorry if it looks sloppy or weird...

Chapter 3:

Eggman, Synthia, Orbot, Cubot & Metal

Date: 9 / 13 / 3287

It was a dark room, with a single large light shining down from above to reveal a long table with four robotic limbs. Two white and silver metal arms. And two white and silver metal legs with red sharp shoes with a single white stripe along the bottom of the shoe. Something walked up to it and placed a white and cobalt blue metal head that resembled Sonic The Hedgehog on top of the table it was a white head with five spikes, two on the side, two on the bottom side, and one at the top center surrounding a circle with two round and spiky ears and it had a pupil-less conjoined eyes. The being entered the light. It was a female mobian. Her name is Synthia The Hedgehog she is a white gray hedgehog with bumblebee pupils and unconjoined eyes. She had white hair coming out of her forehead which aims high up but points down. She has a single quill on the top of her head, another one below it and two large and long quills on the side, she also had four tiny quills below all of her quills like Sonic AND she had two small quills that came out of the large big quills and they rested on her shoulders and didn't go any further than that. With a white muzzle and a nose exactly like Sonic's. She wore a red coat with golden outline, and white buttons and a white logo on the back of her coat. She had a small but sort of long tail that pointed upwards. She wore long jet black pants that went up into her coat. She had jet black boots with white soles, a white block on the side of it and it had white outline. A gold ring was around her neck and close to her head. She was holding a jet black tablet. She looked at it and moved her fingers across it and tapping across.

"I need the STH-25 engine! Go fetch that please." Then a voice clicked on inside of the room.

"No I want you to go fetch the SS-2 engine. Not only is it NEW but it is BETTER!" Synthia swipped across her screen and stared at it for a bit.

"You're right. Sorry, I had to check sir."

"Orbot, Cubot go fetch that engine it is in BS-2!" The man on the speaker said.

"On the job ma'am!" One of the robots yelled out and the speaker went quiet.

"So sir, what do you want we to instal onto it?"

"Glass."

"Eight or ten?"

"Let's go with ten this time. This one is gonna stay with us. For a looooong time."

"Aye aye sir!" Synthia said saluting. She took out a black USB cord and plugged it into her tablet and the other end into Metal's head. She tapped many buttons and swished across her tablet. Then a door somewhere in the facility opened up and two floating robots carrying a giant box came into the room. The robots were Orbot. A robot's head which was comprised of a red symmetrical cap with a smaller black symmetrical cap under the red one as a lower face which was the size of Synthia's head, with two grey-framed, pupil-less eyes with a cyan glow to it. His head also had a half of a white diamond which came out of the middle of his eyes. He had a ball joint for a chest with black and red thin bars as arms with semi-large red gloves that are all joined by the ball joint. His lower half was a black semi sphere with a grey inside and ANOTHER ball joint connecting it which had the other half of the white diamond. Most of his joints were black but had red parts to it somewhere. The other was Cubot and he was a lot larger than Orbot. He has a large black square head with a flatten, yet wider yellow square cap on top and a large black square on the bottom. He has two grey-framed and pupil-less cyan eyes on the top yellow square. Like Orbot he has a white circle to goes out from the center of his eyes and this one isn't split. His chest consists of a smaller yellow cube with yellow gloves for hands with thin light grey arms that are joined by a black and yellow ball. His lower body is a black open cube with a light gray ball inside with a ball joint connecting it to his back. The two bots put the box on the table next to Metal. Synthia opened the box and looked inside of it. "Good you got the right one. Alright, c'mere you." Synthia said grunting as she reached into the box and picked up the engine which had a white overall body with red outline and a blue inard. She put her hands under the engine and tried to lift it up. She gritted her teeth and a vein spout out of her head, she quickly let go of the engine. "You two are REALLY strong…"

"Well we were made for the exact purpose of helping out the boss achieving his goals and anything related to anything really." Orbot said with his lower face popping out to reveal a glowing cyan mouth. Synthia opened her mouth but was quickly interrupted.

"Did ya forget? It ain't hard to. That's why you are here." Cubot said with the yellow and black cubes detaching and showing a glowing cyan mouth.

"I know you two. I haven't been here very long but besides that I need you two to well. Help get this engine out." The two floated over to the opened box and they both easily picked up the engine and moved it over to the table, it was white with a gold outline around the opening on the center and extended really far out with a long large spike at the end. "Thank you. Now let me do my work." The two then floated out of the room. Synthia picked up something that looked like a pen with a glowing red tip. She then placed her tablet onto the far end of the table and reached over to the same table with the box and picked up a metal mask with a glass plane in front of it and started attaching the right leg to the body. After many minutes she started working on the the other leg, she did this for every limb including the head. When she finished she stood on her tiptoes and reached high up and pulled down a giant wire with a silver anvil-like object down, she flicked a switch on it and it lifted Metal up. She made it so the Metal was now standing on his feet. She hooked the magnet onto something and let it go. She backed away and put her hands to her hips. She went over and picked up her tablet, she swished across it and pressed a button. "Orbot, Cubot can you bring over BL-9, BA-4 & BH-5, please?" She hooked her USB to Metal's head and started working on it as Orbot and Cubot started to bring in one box at a time. After a three boxes were out, Synthia brought over ANOTHER silver magnet and lifted all of the parts in BL-9 which happened to be add ons to Metal's legs. Cubot lifted the right part up and Synthia connected the two together. She did the same for the other leg then she added a red plate to his red shoes with a white stripe across the foot. Now Metal's legs were much larger and had a spiky cobalt blue knee cap. They opened up BA-4 and it happened to be add ons for the arms with a spiked elbow. The three connected the add ons to the arms then pulled out the large cobalt blue spiky ended shoulder pads and attached those to him, they then attached a small white plate to his red hands (Not his fingers). Metal now was much thicker and bulkier with spiky elbows and large shoulder pads. "Alright back off." Orbot, Cubot and Synthia backed off from their finished project and she picked up her tablet. Orbot's jaw unhinged and he moved over to the tablet.

"Boss. It's finished."

"Thank you. I'll be there soon." A grumpy voice said over the tablet. A couple seconds later. The boss of the three characters comes into the room. Dr. Eggman! He is a bald human with a large round torso with smooth broad shoulders with smallish legs with somewhat small feet. He has his glorious smooth dark brown mustache that goes past his face. He wears a large red rose jacket with dandelion yellow cuffs a front flap attached to one of the buttons on the jacket with a rosy red torn end cape that went down to his hips along with that he wears smooth white gloves with a large wrist communicator that took over his whole front arm, it had a large circle cyan screen/button in the middle of the communicator. "Hello crew. Alright let's boot up the new member." Eggman said in a grumpy voice with him coughing a couple times.

"Sir. We need to give em a name before we boot em up."

"Oh right. Ummmm. Metal Sonic. Semicolon Prime….." Synthia tapped several times on her tablet then tapped one more time and waited. She then looked at her tablet, reached over, unplugged both ends of the USB and she put the USB cord away.

"Booting up in 3...2...1…" Synthia tapped on her tablet and the four of the leaned in at the robot. The robot's visor lit up pure blue then black again then two circles filled with nine smaller circle appeared with them lighting up white then gray then black then repeating again. The circles disappeared then a long dong-like sound queued up then suddenly stopped. Then two cyan pupils appeared on the visor with lines cutting the pupils.

"I am the designated unit of the Metal Sonic series codenamed. Metal Sonic: Prime. What is my objective?" Metal's cyan pupils turned bumblebee yellow.

"Your object is to serve as the right hand man of Dr. Eggman Robotnik, leader of the Eggman Empire and do whatever he says and assist him as he pleases." Eggman said aloud. Metal Sonic just stood there until his yellow pupils flashed twice and returned back to it's cyan blue color.

"Acknowledged. What will the nickname of this unit be?" Metal Sonic's eyes turned yellow again.

"Metal or Prime." The eyes flashed twice and returned to cyan again.

"Acknowledged. Anything else to add towards this unit?" Metal once again had his yellow eyes turn on again.

"Follow the DO-9 protocol at all times. And listen to all orders from Dr. Eggman, Synthia, Orbot, and Cubot." Synthia looked up at Eggman and smiled with the two bot looking at each other then Eggman in a confused matter. "That is all." Metal's eyes flashed twice and turned blue again.

"Aw boss you remembered us!" Cubot spoke up. Eggman looked back at them.

"I'm not at a point where i'd forgot about to important members of the Empire even if you are incompetent."

"Coming from you. That's a compliment." Orbot said out.

"Acknowledged. Activating Metal Unit number 69." Synthia snorted, cleared her throat then returned to her serious expression. The blue pupils on Metal flashed twice again and Metal started looking around.

"Greetings Metal Sonic! I am Dr. Eggman!" Metal looked at Eggman and nodded. He then turned to Synthia.

"Pleasure to meet you Metal. I am the third assistant of Dr. Eggman, Synthia The Hedgehog." Metal nodded and turned to Orbot and Cubot.

"Hello. I am the designated unit SB-2 but call me Orbot, Metal." Metal's pupils turned off and on quickly similar to a blink.

"And I am SB-3 called Cubot. Howdy!" Metal cocked its head to the side.

"Now Metal if you'd be so kind as to log off for the time being as we are going to outfit you will weaponry." Metal Sonic nodded slowly and its cyan pupils turned off and the head pointed down with the rest of the body standing up. Eggman clapped his hands together. "Time for the four of us to outfit this newcomer. But first A BREAK!" Orbot and Cubot jumped off of the floating air. Synthia shrugged and turned her tablet off. The four exited the area and entered a long shiny metal hallway with large thick and wide red doors with yellow outlines and had white circle light bulbs on the ceiling. Eggman went out and to the right with Synthia following behind and Orbot and Cubot lagged behind.

"Sir may I ask what we are doing this week? More preparation."

"Yes and at the beginning of next week on Monday we shall invade Central City and take control of it, ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

"Alright then. What about the three of us?" Synthia said walking up to Eggman.

"You will continue working on your project along with your weapons since you will be joining the battle but only momentarily. Orbot and Cubot will stay at the base organizing the fleet and me? Well i'll be joining the battle too. Not for long though."

"Understand."

"By the way how's your eye?" Synthia rubbed her right eye and blinked a bit.

"Feels fine sir. Now must I get ANYTHING else ready besides the army?"

"We need Metal fitted for battle AND to get his little allies fitted along with him." Synthia nodded.

"Naturally. Is that it sir?"

"I believe so. I'll be working on my own mech. You're dismissed." Synthia nodded and turned around and trotted away from Dr. Eggman. Eggman stopped and turned his head towards Synthia and saw her go out of sight. Eggman started fiddling with the device on his right arm, he seemingly sent a message towards someone. Eggman shook his head and walked into another room which had the doors close behind him revealing the Eggman Empire logo. It a large candy red logo of Eggman's head with his large smooth mustache pointing outwards and upwards. It had his mouth opened but it seemed to have bars close it, like a cage but it also had his nose poking out from the top. It also had an arrow-like pointer between his white circle pupil-less eyes. It also had two trapezoid's poking out of the top of his head which were his goggles but it also had two half circles on top of each end of the goggles' lens. This was the known army of the Eggman Empire.
