Sonic explored the unnerving landscape alone, being disturbed by the eerie red glowing sky with geometric shapes floating like there was no gravity. Not to say he was unnerved but he was definitely was creeped out. That and the combination of silent and empty streets made sonics skin crawl the only noise was distant machinery.

The landscape made no sense, it twisted as folded in on itself, like a 2d world transformed into a 3d environment. Worse yest was the shadows that stretch across the world, looming.

Buttoning tried to ignore the terrifying reality and ran, all he could do was run. There was nothing, not even a breeze.

Eventually sonic reached an entrance to a boss arena, he could finally let loose.

Metal watched as his double walk into the gaurdian arena, not even realizing what was in store for him.

He looked down at the emerald in his grasp. All he would need is the power of the core, then he will evolve into a being greater than sonic.

He dashed of, his damaged form sparking in disrepair, planning for his inferior self's destruction.

Sonic was confused, the inside was bigger on the Inside, yet smaller at the same time, the environment shifting and changing rapidly. A maze of shifting metal and wires.

It wasn't long until sonic finally reached the center, only to find a pedestal, with a weird keycard on it.

Shrugging, sonic took it, only to freeze as his instincts screamed at him to run and hide.

"HEDGHOG FOUND: PREPRING FOR LAUNCH." A metallic and menacing voice ringing out as sonic lept away, a mess of metal crushing were he was a second ago, the platform around him rising into the sky, lightning striking all around him.

In front of sonic was a robot he never seen before, it was purple and red, one arm being a machine gun, with the other being a glowing sword. It was flying above the ground, it's menacing eye looking right at sonics soul.

Sonic felt like panicking as it fired projectiles faster than sonic could run, causing sonic to run without thought, the bullets destroying the floor behind him, revealing red static.

But thankfully for sonic, the machine gun arm overheated, causing the egg warrior to use its sword.

So with sonic being able to breath, he struck at its Machine gun while dodging the sword. Unfortunately the machine gun was ready to fire again, causing sonic to run again. The floor disappearing behind him, and causing sonic to jump to floating debris.

Sonic was so focused on dodging that he was almost was chopped in half by the sword as the egg warrior entered melee range.

Sonic quickly recovered from the shock and managed to destroy the most dangerous part of the warrior, the machine gun blowing up.

"WARNING: RANGED OFFENSE DESTROYED. DEPLOYING SECOND STAGE."

"Wait what.-" was all sonic could get out as the warrior morphed, it's blade becoming longer, and a new arm sprouting from the destroyed one. Swords appearing all around the new egg warlord. The swords cutting through anything it comes into contact with.

"OK this is bad." Sonic commented as he dodged the thousands of swords swinging at him. The swords moving erratically.

Sonic had to run, it was all he could do if he didn't want to be mince meat. Luckily though the swords soon disapates as the egg warlord runs out of power, letting sonic hit its sword arm, damaging it before the swords reappeared, causing sonic to dodge again, some of the weapons hitting him, but sonic didn't let that stop him as he jumped to the land around him, dodging the swarm of swords. Letting the swords destroy the floating rocks to buy some time.

Soon the swords dissapates once again, letting sonic hit the arm again, destroying it.

"ERROR: ALL WEOPONS DESTROYED, ACTIVATING SELF DESTRUCT." The egg warlord said before it start to shake as the platform chunks start to fall back onto the ground, gravity resulting itself on the rubble.

"Sh*t, I have to get out of its detonation zone!" To say Sonic was not having a good day would be an understatement, the warlord blowing up behind him as sonic ran down the falling rubble, gaining speed. He needed to leave fast.

Aleph was tired. She had been beaten by the fake metal more times than she could count, but she had finally defeated it, and just in time aswell, she saw the madness that was the island and could barely comprehend it, the twists turning into nowhere, and the eerie atmosphere was concerning.

But that was nothing compared to the fight. It was dangerous and thrilling. It was more dangerous than metal, and he was a beast. And it's second form was terrifying, with hundreds of swords attacking at every angle, with every second being a fight for your life! And with the floor being destroyed only leaving few chunks of land to stand on.

It was crazy, and aleph wanted to fight sonic now, as he was amazing, he had beat odds that were heavily stacked against him. And she wanted to meet him. But she couldn't not think about eggman though, as he had created these machines so what kind of intellect did ge have?

Metal looked at the big explosion as he hid by the door, the fox studying it as he waited for his moment. He was thruming with anticipation.

Tails examined the door in front of him, requiring a keycard to open, so with this knowledge, he called sonic.

"Hey sonic, I found out you had to find a keycard, so please search for one."

"Alteady done little pal." Sonic said behind him, causing tails to jump and turn. "Oh sorry to startle you." Sonic said trying to calm him down. "I got this kaycard you wanted."

"Oh, thank you sonic." Tails said as he took the keycard and opened the door. Revealing an engine room.

But before either of them could react, metal sonic rushed past them, running to the main engine and placing the emerald inside it, and attaching himself to the engine core.

And right before sonic and tails terror and awe, metal changed. Its- no his body becoming sharper, the hands becoming claws, and his eyes becoming refind, a mouth appearing on his face, his legs became longer and more powerful, cannons growing out of his body, and most different of all, his weakpoint being filled out, a fake emerald appearing there.

"Who, looks like you got an upgrade, now who are you!" Sonic asked as metal laughed.

"MY NAME IS METALIC CHAOS!!" Metal Proclaimed laughing. "AND I AM THE SUPPEREOR SONIC!!"
