The reactions were instantaneous. Amy grabbed her hammer and blocked Cream as Espio did the same for Charmy. Blaze's hands ignited in flame as Omnochao and Cheese hid behind her. Shadow, Tails and Omega all armed their weapons at the Metallic impostor as he stared blankly.
Metal Sonic: Is their really a need for that?
Tails: Look in the mirror, take a wild guess!
Metal Sonic: I am not here to destroy or injure any of you. I am here simply to engage in this race.
Omega: Give us one logical explanation for such a reason.
Metal Sonic: Simple...all my others objectives are gone.
Confused, Tails lowered his guard as Shadow and Omega hesitantly lowered their weapons.
Shadow: Start talking.
Metal Sonic: Of course ultimate life form. My life's objectives have been two simple goals: Serve the doctor and prove myself the superior Sonic.
Tails: I think I get what he's saying...he can't serve Eggman in jail and with Sonic...gone-
Metal Sonic: My analysis concluded therefore I AM the superior Sonic.
Tails grimaced at the very thought.
Metal Sonic: Nonetheless, I have no more objectives. So I made my own upon hearing of this race. Dodon Pa was more then happy to have my assistance on his project.
Dodan Pa: He's right! A technological genius like Metal has helped me improve my schematics tenfold!
Amy: By any chance were these improvements built with a self destruct?
Metal Sonic: Your humour is noted miss Rose. However, I wish not to fight. I wish only to race.
Shadow looked at the others, looking skeptical. He knew if things went south, they could easily just trash Metal. So reluctantly, Shadow discarded his Chaos Spear as Omega sheathed his machine gun.
Shadow: Very well Metal...but no tricks.
Metal Sonic: Of course. Now, I believe my teammates have waited long enough.
Orbot: Agreed big bro!
Orbot and Cubot suddenly just appeared from nowhere, getting in their own red and yellow cars.
Tails: Them? Really?
Metal Sonic: I refuse to work with simple minded badnicks.
Tails: Okay, that I believe.
Dodan Pa: Jolly good then! Let's continue the race!
...
The races continued with an additional sense of tension, with Metal proving himself a superior racer above them all. Having copied their moves, he made up for Orbot and Cubots reckless driving with his extravagant skill.
During a brake of the races in a lava filled valley, Metal and Dodon Pa engaged in a conversation.
Metal Sonic: I shall admit Dodon Pa, your mechanical prowess is more impressive then perhaps the doctor himself.
