The New Divide (organic Metal Sonic story)

Chapter 1

In the maintenance room of Eggman's lair, the madman himself sat in his computer chair, only being accompanied by the lit up screen of his supercomputer and a certain robotic doppelganger of Sonic himself, the said robot standing a short distance away from his creator with his arms crossed, his red optics forming as his eyes carefully fixed on the screen in front of him. It was already obvious why Eggman was messing around on his supercomputer. He was searching for any ideas on how to get rid if Sonic. Again. The plan to have Infinite do just that clearly didn't work out, from what Metal heard. However, the part where Infinite was able to catch Sonic off guard and defeat him made some jealousy course through his system.

Infinite was a fool to not have finished Sonic off the moment he lost consciousness, the robot figured it was due to Eggman possibly giving the jackal strict orders to just simply knock him out to capture him, and where did that lead to? Six months later, Sonic escaped thanks to Zavok letting the rodent out of his cage. Metal beeped quietly to himself, living lifeforms were foolish, if Metal had been around the same time Infinite was rather than being around as one of his illusions, he would not have hesitated to end Sonic the moment he'd have his chance, to heck with what Eggman would want besides that! Metal was created for one purpose: to kill Sonic anyway he can.

"Aha!" Eggman's voice snapped Metal from his thoughts, the robot glancing up at his creator. "The Chaos Emeralds are still spread apart from the last time Sonic went super! I could easily use them to power my new Mech and finally beat that rodent!" He said in excitement.

There it is, the overconfidence that will soon diminish. Eggman had tried to use the Chaos Emeralds, let alone gather them without Sonic knowing how many times now? Metal didn't bother to keep track after the 79th time that failed, all he did know was that it was a lot of times. And Eggman was destined to fail in defeating Sonic again.

"Metal, set out and gather the Chaos Emeralds." Eggman ordered.

Metal stood there, still as stone and dead silent, a moment passing before Eggman turned in his direction.

"Did you not hear me?" Eggman questioned, already sounding irritated.

Metal stomped a foot down, startling Eggman as he almost stumbled out of his chair, only to start seething with anger at the robot daring to rebel on him again. The last time Metal rebelled was when he changed his appearance and called himself Neo Metal Sonic, just the thought of that about to repeat itself sending rage through him.

"So, that's how it's going to be?" Eggman asked in a monotone, standing up from his chair slowly. "Then so be it, I was tired of you anyways." He said, sneaking a hand over to the control panel and pressing a button.

Metal charged, the robot ready to fight, until he suddenly shut down and tumbled on the floor at Eggman's feet, his head just slightly touching his foot, the madman kicking it away by two inches before he began walking away.

"Fire up the machine, and make sure Metal remains inside it until it's done doing its work." Eggman said, two large robots as tall as Omega coming and lifting Metal by the arms, taking him away.

Birds chirping could be heard from supposedly everywhere and Metal found himself waking up in the middle of what looked like a forest, the robot now a Mobian hedgehog. Metal sat up, only to groan in pain, his face screwing in confusion and he glanced down at his arm where the pain was at, only for his eyes to widen. A huge bleeding wound was on Metal's shoulder, the sapphire blue hedgehog glancing at his chest to see scratch marks across it, almost looking like Scourge's scars.

'What in Mobius happened?' Metal wondered, only surprising himself by the voice in his own head. Metal glanced at himself, seeing that he was a Mobian hedgehog, his chest a milk chocolate color as well as his hands, he was blue like Sonic, but a bit of a darker shade, and was for sure wounded for a reason he couldn't guess. Metal racked his brain, remembering that he had refused to go look for the Chaos Emeralds, and Eggman got angry about it, the next thing he vaguely remembered was that he soon shut down, and now here he is, a Mobian hedgehog mysteriously wounded.
