Well, there was Eggman, walking in the same hallway he took after he once again was defeated by Sonic. Only this time, he was in a cheerful mood; the kind that only can be seen in a child. The robot that walked past him didn't heed from their creator, who normally would be in a sour mood. Maybe it was because he had a Chaos Emerald with hardly any interruptions.

On the other hand, Metal, who was following Eggman like some stray dog, seemed more like what Eggman would normally behave like after a defeat at Sonic's hands. Possibly because of the lycan managing to escape their fight, or possible anger towards his counterpart for merely existing? Anyone's guess.

"Ah, there's nothing like getting a Chaos Emerald without any problems, Metal. Well...maybe many things, like defeating Sonic, and world conquest, but a emerald is around there." The two then allowed doors to open to step in the same room they were in before. Dr. Eggman then walked up to the computer console, as his presence caused it to activate. The doctor then pressed a few keys... ...and a small electronic pedestal rolled from a secret door in a wall, rolling right up to Eggman's feet. He then placed the yellow emerald on it before a glass dome sealed it.

Metal observed the doctor insert the emerald into the pedestal, before closing his eyes. " So, this book..." he began, as he took a brief glance at the computer. " Any idea why the Genakians were imprisoned there in the first place?"

"Hmm...no clue." he responded as he leaped onto his seat. The man then typed on the console. "I heard about this by finding piece of a journal I discovered in the Ancient Relic ruins. It was written by a man named Theodore Acorn, who seemed to have come across these beings, but details of why the Genakians were sealed weren't there. It did say one of them caused havoc."

" A genie causing havoc due to being imprisoned?" Metal said in a cynical tone, as he scoffed a bit. " Sounds like the plot of an unoriginal and poorly thought-up story." he added, not knowing just what had transpired seven months ago.

"Yes, just like every other monster's origin. What else is original...besides my ingenious schemes?" as he typed, the emerald in the pedestal glowed. Outside of the fortress, one of the satellite dish fired a yellow beam to the skies.

" Yes... your ingenious schemes..." Metal muttered, as he remembered just how those "ingenious schemes" had ended for Eggman.

"Ah...the radar is picking up a reading..." grinning, Eggman twisted knobs to zoom in on the map. A gold blinking dot was there right on a certain area on the edge of the west continents. "The Mystic Ruins? And it appears to be near a peninsula."

" The Mystic Ruins..." Metal muttered, as he began scanning a map of that area, to see where it could be located. " ...there appears to be a lone house on a cliff not too far from the local train station. Perhaps it's located there?"

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF-" Eggman slammed his head on the computer. Gritting his teeth, he pointed at a house on the monitor. "I don't believe it!! The book is in the hands of Tails'!!"

Metal looked curiously at Eggman, wondering just why he was so mad about it. " ...pardon me for asking, but so? It will be easy to snatch it away from him, and you know it." he said coldly, as he clenched his metallic hand into a fist.

"Provided we don't run into that infuriating hedgehog!" And to think, things were going easy for him. However... "Hm...but I'm pretty sure that green hedgehog would tarnish his name for a while...and I bet he already did." Grinning, Eggman typed to bring up a news cast on screen.

Oh, he just had to mention the hedgehog, didn't he? Grumbling, Metal observed just what Eggman was looking at.

Watching the newscast, he learned that Scourge indeed framed Sonic for his crimes. About a couple of hours ago, GUN pursued Sonic down the zone of Lethal Highway. But that was a few hours ago. By now, Sonic was cleared of his name. But if had to guess, because of this, Sonic would be focused on Scourge now. Ah, perfect! "Come, Metal!" Eggman stood up from his seat. "That idiotic clone has given us the perfect chance to take the book while Sonic is distracted." Opening the pedestal dome, Eggman grabbed and tossed the yellow emerald to Metal. "Here! Just in case we run into any trouble."

Metal effortlessly grabbed the emerald, glancing at it for a brief moment. " With this added power..." he muttered, as his chassis opened to reveal a hatch sized just for a Chaos Emerald, which he promptly inserted the stone into, before it closed. " ...there won't be any trouble."
