Metal's Reformation (Metonic)

Chapter 1

(BLOOD WARNING IN THIS CHAPTER!!!)

Sonic and Tails rushed towards a capsule with Wisps being held captive inside of it, the blue hero spin dashing through the glass, setting them all free as they cheered in their own language.

"That's one capsule down," Sonic said with a smile on his face and his hands on his hips.

"We still have more Wisps to free, there could be capsules all over the place." Tails inquiried.

"Then there's no time to lose, let's go," Sonic replied before he sped off, being followed by Tails who flew close behind him.

Watching from a distance was a blue hedgehog resembling Sonic with the peach color in his inner ears, muzzle, chest, and arms. The hedgehog had red eyes and wore gauntlets on the back of his hands the color of yellow and black, his lip curling into a snarl while watching Sonic and Tails disappear in the distance.

"This is bad." Orbot, who rolled from behind the hedgehog's legs said. "How will the Doctor react to those two interfering with his plan?" He queried with panic in his robotic voice.

"He doesn't have to know... Yet." The hedgehog replied, sounding identical to Sonic.

"How do you know?" Orbot asked the hedgehog.

"You forget, Orbot, that Dr. Eggman has upgraded me with the Anti-Zombot virus, giving me the ability to look as I do now." The hedgehog replied, lifting his arm while glancing at his hand. "And with it, as an organic being, I'll make sure that Sonic begs for mercy this time." He said while clenching his fist, a set of three blades that were six inches long popping from his gauntlet.

"Metal Sonic, don't you think that you're being a little bit too overconfident?" Orbot asked him.

"What?" Metal snapped, whipping his head to glare daggers at Orbot, who backed up with his hands up in surrender.

"All I'm saying is that Sonic has always been very unpredictable, and you might still find yourself struggling to defeat him," Orbot said nervously.

Metal's ear flickered, keeping his gaze on Orbot for a few milliseconds before he huffed and glanced away, folding his peach arms as the sunlight shined on his head, turning his red eyes into a slightly orangish hue around his pupils.

"Then perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to come up with conclusions before your theory is accurate." Metal said, his voice calmer, but still sinister-like. "Sonic doesn't know what will hit him, and would already be dead by the time he gathers enough brain cells to properly process when my blade is at his throat." He inquiried and took off at full speed without another word.

Back with Sonic and Tails, the blue hedgehog and yellow fox had already arrived at another capsule full of Wisps who cried out as soon as they saw the approaching Mobians.

"Hang in there little guys!" Sonic said, picking up the pace and ready to spin dash the creatures free.

"Sonic, look out!" Tails yelled.

But Tails was too late. A blue blur whipped past Sonic, who groaned and fell over, a set of scratch marks that were already bleeding on his cheek. Sonic glanced up in confusion, seeing another blue hedgehog standing in front of the capsule, the hero's blood dripping from the blades he struck him with.

'Who in the world is that?' Sonic wondered, confusion clouding his mind.

"So much for the fastest thing alive." The other blue hedgehog retorted.

"What? Who even are you?" Sonic asked.

"Shouldn't it already be obvious as to why I look like you?" The other blue hedgehog scoffed.
