Prologue- A Meaning to Live "Master…" A robotic voice called to a cloaked figure. "Knuckles…" He replied back, as He retired my hood, long spikes coming from his head, white stripes shaped like arrows in the middle, two triangles were in the sides of his head, in the shape of ears, with yellow in the inside of them, in his cold and metallic eyes, millions of little red pixels were formed to look like pupils, they glowed with intensity and depth as the moonlight dropped over them, as he retired the rest of his cloak, his body was revealed, most of his body was colored with a Deep Blue, a blue with yellow turbine as a chest, blade-like shoulders, as four long metallic bars came from it, the upper ones were connected to a pair of hands that were covered in a metallic vest, the lower ones were legs that ended in feet, elf-like shoes to be exact, a cape came from the spiky belt in his waist. As he stared at the other figure, he came close to him. "Master Metal Sonic…" He said, his body was red, with green pixilated glowing eyes, red stripes with white in the end coming from his head in the form of hair, two long claws coming from the ends of his hands, with a pair of red and yellow-orange shoes with two big scraps at both sides of each one, in his chest there was a white semi-circle (SP?), and in the middle of his hands, two yellow-orange circles. "Metal Knuckles, I must go alone, I need to find my purpose …" He stared at the ground, all he suffered, he could never defeat Sonic, he was created for that, his life now had no purpose anymore, as he continue staring blankly at the ground, a single and small drop of oil came from the corner of his eye, as it fell to the ground, his red eyes directed again at his friend. "Master, this is like suicide, the desert outside will kill you, nobody got to survive outside Robotnik´s Fortress, except for Sonic…" He retorted. As he heard his rival name, his memories start playing with him, as he remembered the first time he raced with Sonic, he chuckled sadistically "Well, I am a copy of him, so I can survive too" Maybe he was laughing, in the inside he was full of fear and despair. Knuckles sighed as he gave up It seems that I can´t change his decision… He thought “Okay, I´ll tell Tails Doll that Robotnik assigned you to a mission or something like that†He sighed again as he walked away. Metal Sonic grabbed his cloak as he covered his body with it again, as the turbine in his back start spinning, he was ejected at a high speed, soon he was in the door to the outside, as he stopped quickly, he looked at the asleep guards, he slowly walked to the door, as he little by little opened it, not wanting to wake up the guards, he slowly walked to the outside, as he felt his feet burying in the sand of the vast desert, as soon as he was far away, the turbine in his back start spinning again, as he got ejected again to the outside, the robot guards were still asleep, he didn´t bothered to check it again, as he headed for the desert, a single thought passed his mind “My life has a meaning?â€... Chapter 1- The Deadly Desert Part of Metal Sonic rejected of this journey from the start, the desert was vast and full of traps and old and discontinued models of the Doctor, he remember them well, as when he was throw away by him he too threw them, as he started implementing the nanotechnology, he remembered well that tragic day… FLASHBACK. As the Doctor buried the cell with the old robot models, the defenseless Metal Sonic punched the door of the cell, Robotnik laughed in a twisted and evil way "You stupid, you are now useless to me, but don´t worry, you won´t be alone, you have failed to me for the last time!" As he laughed again, he went up in his ship, it started floating as he left the desert and returned to his fortress, Metal Sonic dropped in his knees… And cried… END FLASHBACK. The rage start invading him, his red eyes glowed with anger, he slammed the ground with his fist, the ground shook for a few seconds, as he got up, he continue walking… As the desert seemed eternal, Metal Sonic wasn´t going to give up so easily, Chaos knows how many times he lost the track in the vast desert, the sandstorm covering the place was strong, it was more like a storm or stones, as he tried to advance , he heard some movements under him, the sandstorm calmed, as the ground shaked, a giant metallic worm with long golden fangs and antennas came from the ground, as Metal backed away, another pair or worms came, he took a battle stance, ready for anything, “Well, well, what we have here, some of Robotnik´s old models are still intact" He said sadistically, as one of the worms charged at him, Metal grabbed him by the end of his tail tail and with his other hand he booted his head off, as the second and the third one rushed to him, they opened they fangs, as he evaded one of them, the other one bitted him hard in the right hand, an horrible torment, as he groaned in pain, he quickly retired the head out of the worm´s body , as he stared at his hand, from the two marks of his fangs, a little drop of a purple liquid felt from it, he widened his eyes, Poison!... He thought, as he grabbed the last worm and chopped his body in half, as he looked the remains of the destroyed robots, he thought I am going to end like them… Without mind nor emotions…? He stared at the clear sky… And continue walking… An hour later- Dawn, only an hour passed, but it looks like an eternity for Metal, he felt strange, his body was more hard, almost like stone, could this be the effect of the poison? Suddenly, his body paralyzed, he felt to the ground "W--hat is happen--ing?" His body fell to the ground paralyzed, as he felt his body like stone, I am going to die? He thought, something was blocking the sun, as he slowly tilted his head up, he stared at a figure of a hedgehog "S-S-onic…?" He said, his voice was dry, as he closed his eyes and fainted… Meh, it´s my first fanfic, so don´t except it to be epic, my grammar isn´t so good, so yeah :/
