 The Land of Darkness...a land shrouded in mystery...and darkness. This land is a forbidden land for anyone to step foot in, for good reason. The land is soaked with so much Chaos Energy, who knows what could happen. Why, pieces of lands could float to the air or collapse into the abyss without warning, spikes would erupt everywhere....who knows. But only one person dared to live here, and his name is Eggman. Building his city-sized fortress in the middle of ancient ruins, he called it...  Metropolis...  And inside the fortress city, stomping down the halls was the egg-shaped doctor himself, with band-aids around his angry face. |

Inside one of the rooms in Metropolis, a few drones rolled to and fro, picking up various tools used to mend broken machinery, which they were using to restore a certain metallic hedgehog back into efficency.  However, in spite of finally destroying a half of his arch-rival, Metal still felt that something was amiss, as his body was hanging lifelessly from the wall there, though his eyes still gleamed dangerously red, staring emotionlessly at the closed door before him. |

And those doors slid open, hard, letting in a vivid doctor. "RATS!! Two Sonics!! ARGH!" Walking over to a large computer console, Eggman hammered his fist there. Not only the thought of two Sonics was aggravating, even though one might not be so noble, but he didn't find the book! "Stupid internet rumors..." |

Metal's eyes followed the doctor to the computer, before he looked back at the open door. " Doctor, if I may..." he said, as his eyes moved back to Eggman. " I have some questions to ask you. First off, what was the point of invading Emerald Town in the first place?" |

Well here's something to calm him down...answering intelligent questions. "Ah, I don't believe I told you, did I?" With a press of a button on the console, the computer showed an image of Babylon Garden. "Did you download information about my latest escapades that involved Babylon Garden?" |

" I believe I did..." Metal replied, as his eyes made some sort of buzzing notion, indicating a scan on his memory database. " The place where you both attempted and failed to claim the treasure of Babylon Garden, after fooling both the Babylon Rouges and the hedgehog's merry group into finding it for you?" Though not very subtle, Metal knew how to be precise. |

A growl was heard from the doctor. "Please don't remind me... I'm talking about the one after that! We discovered more about the Babylonians. They were...*ahem* 'Genies from Space'." |

" Ah, yes... to this day, that still amuses me." Metal replied in a cynical tone, before turning his head as best he could towards the doctor. " So I take it that our assault had something to do with this race?" |

 "Yes! You see, these genies, or as they would mostly call themselves, Genakians, crashed landed here in deep early history before Mobian times. For whatever reason, the Genakians served like the genies you hear in stories; I'm not sure why, for the data is still vague, and I'm not sure how these genies died out throughout the years. However, I just discovered from a diary I found here in the Ancient Relics that two of these races that managed to survive were imprisoned inside a book...an Arabian Knights book." |

Metal would have blinked, had he been organic. " ...Arabian Nights?" he said in a baffled tone, as he looked over at Eggman. " You're telling me that we went rampaging into a city, because we were looking for a story book?" |

"A story book that has actual genies sealed inside of it. Imagine the possibilities, if I were to free them, Metal. I can wish for anything; money... which I have enough of...women, and WORLD DOMINATION!!" The man shrugged. "Yes, it would take the fun out of it, but I'm desperate right now! And at least genies are more reliable than any of the monsters I freed. Rotten ungrateful freaks..."" |

" You bring up good points, Doctor." Metal replied, as he cycled through his memory databank, seeing some of the monsters Eggman had freed in order to take over the world, with luke-warm results. However, all memory of events transpiring three months before the Black Doom Invasion was... empty. " Now, my second question... there seems to be a lack of memory dating back to a year and five months ago, and before I shut down from battling this Scourge, a rather... strange image appeared on my sensors." Then, activating a projector from his eyes, he revealed to the doctor the same image; a blue, robotic drake howling at the night sky. " Just... what is that, and does it have anything to do with the blanks in my memory drive?" |

......crud... No way in his egg would he mention THAT to Metal, especially since HE became THAT after he called mutiny. That special kind of liquid alloy might had messed with his brain, perhaps. Still, if he mentioned that Metal was Metal Overlord, it might bring back rotten memories. "*ahem*...That...was something I like to forget, Metal. It was a robotic being I created, using data of Chaos, Shadow, and even many of Sonic's friends. But it went out of control. That's best left forgotten." Hey, if you put a bit of the truth to a lie, it makes it believable.

Fortunately for Eggman, his bluff worked. " I... see." Metal responded, before the image disappeared from view. " But... though it slipped out of control, it may have been the strongest machine you've ever built... stronger than..." He stopped himself from fulfilling that sentence; just the thought of it stood against everything Metal had established; HE was Eggman's greatest creation, HE was the pinnacle of that man's genius, and HE would be Sonic's true bane. " But, data from Chaos... you don't assume you could repeat the process on a different machine?" he asked with a small sense of longing in his voice, as if the 'different machine' part was code for 'Metal Sonic', though he hid that fact pretty well. |

Oh he just had a feeling Metal meant himself. Yeah...if only he knew how close to the truth he was. "Uh...I'm afraid not, Metal. Using data from Chaos and even Shadow is too dangerous and unpredictable. But enough of that! Let us return to the task at hand." Jumping on a chair in front of the computer, Eggman wiggled his fingers, like he was getting ready to play a piano, and started typing...in the same manner of playing a piano. "I should've done this from the start, Metal! I will use the global radar to detect the book. However, its unique Chaos Energy readings are so vague and dim, it won't be able to be detected from the satellites far in orbit. So, I'll need a Chaos Emerald to help boost the scanners; emitting the same energy frequency until the book's will bounce off it. That's when I'll know where it is." |

" There is but one problem to this plan, then..." Metal began, as he quickly ignored the issue of Chaos' data, in favor of Eggman's recent scheme. " You lack a Chaos Emerald." |

"Of course..." he muttered, resisting a sarcastic comment. "So emerald hunting we go!" So, after pressing some keys on the computer, he then....  Pulled the 'slot-machine lever'. Rapidly, like a wheel, spots of Mobius continents highlighted. The speed of it slowed down...and down...and down...until it hit... "Ah! So one is on Hill Top Zone, aye?" Standing up, Eggman dramatically pointed away. "Come, Metal! Let us venture there for the emerald. And I have no doubt we might run into Sonic. If I have to guess, he might try to find the Chaos Emeralds to see if he can turn super without his green counterpart." |

Upon hearing Sonic's name, Metal quickly broke free from the wall, looking towards Eggman. " There won't be much of him left to keep on trying after we're done there." he said bluntly, as he butted his metallic fists against one another. |
