Metal Sonic walked through the forest towards Eggman's long since abandoned base... As in, actually walking, despite how he is programmed to go fast, for once he wanted to take in the scenery. The entire area has been roboticized, all the wildlife, trees, grass, plantlife, it was all turned into robots, just like the mechanical duplicate. There was something.... wonderful about it. Yet, at the same time, he found it horrible. Some unknown program in his robotic mind was causing interferance once more.... Just like how when he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he saw his face.... yet also a robotic kind's... Or was it the true Sonic's half that was false. The robotic doppleganger thought it may of caused some glitch in him so he reluctantly saw Eggman. The Doctor however found nothing after fixing him up. Clearly he was not as smart as he claimed.

Still, as he went in, the robotic infection got worst and worst, all coming from this castle like factory that Eggman created. The "Mean Bean" project. It was a creation before Metal's time, but he was informed of it's purpose. Apparently some other threat to Eggman took him down and not Sonic, but he never said what or who. The place was long abandoned, growing rust, but still working it's power to roboticize the entire area. Thankfully, Metal was already pure metal so it would not effect him at all. The infection is the biggest of his worries. Hastily scrambled together roboticized wildlife is no issue.

"Metal, come in. Can you hear me, Metal Sonic?" Eggman's voice came out of the robotic hedgehog. "Affirmitive," Metal answered simply. "Good, the Com system is working excellency. Only natural, of course. Now, I have sent some help to make sure your objective is completed swiftly. Just wait there until they get there," Eggman ordered. "............... Got it, Doctor. I will await them...." Metal Sonic replied after a wait. Eggman can hide it best he can, Metal knows that he knows that this is below his ultimate creation's level. He is only sending help to keep an eye on him... As usual, the doctor had overlooked a major flaw in his plan. Still, he will wait for both his allies and.... this plan to no doubt crumble.

A merry looking yellow rabbit esque creature skipped and danced into the area, bouncing about rather energetically as he explored his immediate surroundings. For some reason, he did not acknowledge Metal Sonic despite seeing him. It looked like he was having a good time. Nearby, following at a distance, a pretty young lass followed and watched with a speculative stare. Where did Carbuncle go when he ran off to go on his own adventures, and why was he helping Eggman? It all raised some rather interesting questions for her, but sadly she couldn't understand what he was singing about. It was all a bunch of guus to her. Supposedly Arle could understand him, but she had her doubts about even that. Spotting Metal Sonic, she hesitantly stepped forward to greet him. "Wow. It feels weird to be the tallest person in the group for once." she remarked somewhat light-heartedly.

Suddenly, in front of Metal Sonic, Carbuncle & Valorie, they would be met by another girl who had landed on the ground and smirked at the three. "You may be disappointed." Maribel said in remark to Valorie's comment about being the tallest in the group. While she herself wasn't as tall as her friends back in Pilchard Bay, she fells like she would be taller then metal sonic, Carbuncle and Valorie.

She turned to observe the trainer...Yellow thing and...Silvery thing, what even was Metal Sonic, was he metal? If he was metal then why was he walking. "What are you two supposed to be. I never seen anything quite like it." Maribel put her hands to her hips, she at least gave a normal greeting to Valorie. "Hello only other normal human here." She shook Valorie's hands before realising that the other human who was supposed to be here, Eggman, was not here.

"Where's the egghead, shouldn't he be here, you know, to do the mission with us?" She asked Eggman's loyal stuck up, Metal Sonic. "Meta Sonic isn't it, where's that egg of the man, isn't he coming?" Maribel questioned the robot, suspicious about Eggman's lack of presence. Everyone took the time to show up, but he's not showing up? That was odd to Maribel.

[Coolshaymin]

Metal Sonic observed the girl that came in with a... Yellow... thing.... What exactly was that thing supposed to be anyway? Metal sensed.... not much special from what he could gather from the strange creature. The girl on the other hand. Though she looked like a normal human, there was some very powerful power she possessed. It was unlike anything he has ever seen... Yet even his highly advanced sensors could not tell what was so special about this girl. For the first time, he could not comprehend someone's capabilities.... Interesting. He wanted to know.... more....

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on view, the robot could not interrogate the girl as a 3rd ally came in. That was a hefty amount of reinforcements. This girl seemed to hold within her.... more conventional magic than the other girl. "I am a creation of Dr. Eggman. A robotic duplicate of Sonic designed to both match and surpass him. Doing grunt work and babysitting a pet and two female humans," Metal Sonic stock responsed before showing a bit more emotion at the end. Well, he seemed to be sentient and self-aware at the very least if not rude.

"False. Egghead has sent me to this zone on my own. He has important work at the Defense Optimization Division HQ to do. He can still hear you however," Metal Sonic answered Maribel's question. Though he did not exactly sound thrilled or as interested in doing this work as one would expect of a loyal robot that was created with the sole purpose of fulfilling diabolical plans.... Especially since he had to deal with these two girls and... whatever that yellow thing was... Was it some weird chao? Eggman loved those things.... "Does anyone actually read the briefing? Those things are there for a reason! Anyway, to remind those that haven't, I am here on a Coms system I developed for Metal. I have work to do so I won't always be in touch. Anyhoo, gather the resources in the factory and deal with any of my trash while you are there," Eggman added in, his voice coming from Metal Sonic's chest.

"... As he said. I am to substitute while he gets work done. Now, let's not waste any more time idle. Follow me," Metal Sonic finished before heading into the castle like factory. The place was rusted over and there was machine parts all over the place.. There was several corridors to go down, all leading deeper into the place. "The Doctor has pinpointed we should find the core of the machine. All the paths seem to lead there. We should plan out the optimal starting point. The left way cuts through the storage facility, the right follows the boiler facilities and maintainance tunnel, forward will lead us through the production line. Any thoughts?" Metal Sonic questioned... looking more to the humans than the weird Chao thing. He did have a variety of translation programs but none of them seemed properly compatible with.... this thing's... language if you can call it that.

Valorie blanched at Metal's introductions. "...Honestly, these days I think a lot of people would be okay with a replacement." Valorie lamented with a helpless shrug, lampshading Sonic's less than stellar reputation. Go take over the life sphere, Eggman. "H-Hey! Actually, I'm here to keep an eye on him." she replied with a gesture to Carbuncle, indignant to the babysitting comment. "...But it seems like he's here to help, for some reason, so I guess I might as well help out too." Valorie hesitantly lamented with a helpless shrug. What could she do? Arle would be... gulp... disappointed in her if she just let something bad happen to Carbuncle. "Gugu..?" Carbuncle inquisitively asked, looking up at Valorie as if searching for something. However, he got nothing but an awkward smile in response.

"That's okay. Being in the middle is pretty unusual too." Valorie light-heartedly replied, shrugging off the entrance of a taller girl. At a mere 4'9'', she wasn't exactly surprised. She shook Maribel's hands readily. It seemed like she had a rather gentle grip, but was pleased with the gesture. "My name's Valorie, and this is Carbuncle!  I'm... not sure what he is either, and he can't speak our language. But I know he likes going on adventures and is less defenseless than he looks." Valorie explained before returning her attention to Metal Sonic. "Guuu guuu~!" Carbuncle chirped, waving one of his little arms at Maribel in greeting. "Hmm... The production line is where things are built, right? But the storage facility is probably where all the stuff is kept before it goes to the production line. That sounds like a good place to go for supplies to me. I don't know what a boiler room is for, though."

"Babysitting two human females? We can take care of ourselves, we don't need some..." Maribel didn't know what Metal Sonic is, because she didn't know what a robot was. "A better clone of that hedgehog who is trying to destroy the planet." Now that she was thinking about Sonic. Maribel thought about the possible punishments he could get. "If I was one of those leaders I would suggest a decapitation to teach him in trying to kill us all." She pouted as she followed Metal Sonic into the factory. "I mean, in my world that would be the punishment for someone who would wish to end the world at my friend's kingdom in Estard." She continued to follow the...Robot.

When they arrived at the castle like factory, Maribel became even more suspicious of Eggman, especially since he revealed from Metal Sonic that he was busy at the Life Sphere with work, well just because he has an important position doesn't mean he can still show up. I mean, Maribel's the mayor's daughter and she goes on adventures like this one ever since she came to this planet. "Oh, you have work, that's not suspicious at all." She looked around at the factory. "And why does this factory look more like a castle, is this back during your days when you were an villain instead of a lawful good guy now?" Maribel walked closer to Metal Sonic, not referring to him, but Eggman if he could hear.

"Hmph, I only brief briefings." She then turned towards Valorie. "Val does have a point we can go there instead and maybe back track to the production line if we have time, or I can simply burn it down as we leave this factory and save a ton of work." Maribel snickered, summoning a small fireball before crunching it up, the hand that she used did burn when she crunched it, but she needed to look excellent for her team mates.

"I'm not sure what that is either, is it a place to boil things?" She turned to Metal Sonic, expecting answers from him. "You were made from a supposed genius, give us knowledge about this boiling room." Maribel then pointed towards the storage room path to the core of the factory. "While we head to the storage room!" She then walked on that path.

"The original Sonic was always an inferior mess that did not grasp his own style. I was always fit to replace him. It only took until now for someone to realize it," Metal Sonic replied in a very matter of fact tone for how egotistical it was. He was blatantly ignoring Maribel, not really caring enough to reply to her nagging and he has already cut communication as well. "Valorie and Carbuncle. Understood. Your names are logged," he stated simply once more. ".... You are right, the Storage Facility would be the most logical route.... A boiler room is simply a heating facility as well as providing steam power where necessary," Metal Sonic stated simply to the others. Now that he said that, this place did not seem very well heated at all.

The Storage Facility was, as one would expect the place was in an absolutlely mess. Broken Machine parts lay scattered, some robots that were in disrepair were fused into some horrible abomination, most did not even have all their limbs, there was quite a bit of debri, and boxes were all over the place as well. "Guu! Guu! Guu! Guu! Guu! Guu! Guu!" Metal Sonic's auditory system picked up a distant sound in front of them that sounded like.... Metal Sonic's head turned 180 degrees to look at Carbuncle much like an owl.... But like he guessed, it wasn't him. Before the group had much time to discuss it however, some robot chicken stepped out from behind some boxes. "ZZZZZzzzzt! Surprised to see-ZZZZZZZt! We are-ZZZZZZZZZT!" The rooster tried to speak but every time his voice had this buzz that gradually turned into static, not really helping with his already naturally high pitched and loud voice.

Metal Sonic felt a slight tremor at his feet and quickly jumped out of the way with a high amount of reflexes. Out of the ground where he stood popped out a green mole like robot. "I think your voice is a little broken there, pal," Grounder said to Scratch. "What do yo-ZZZZZZZZZZt? Oh, I see!" The rooster bot replied before letting off a high pitched laugh that quickly turned into an extremely ear bleeding sound that threatened to pierce everyone's ear drums.... Except Metal Sonic's since his hearing is a bit different.

(Everyone except Metal! Roll a 12 or higher in CON to endure the ear destroying laugh garble! Failure will result in you taking 5% damage and becoming near-deaf for one turn.)

".... Out of our way you reject models or I will finish sending you to the scrap heap," Metal Sonic threatened coldly to the other two creations of Dr. Eggman. "Ha! Fat chance, buddy! We finally have a chance to show that YOU should of been the one scrapped! Like we would miss out. We will even take care of your girlfriends too! Dr. Robotnik will have to praise us then!" Grounder rebutted, clearly not intent on leaving them alone without a fight. "Yeah! Girlf-ZZZZt! We will totally-" Scratch was about to go into another laugh but Grounder cut him off. "Just let me do the talking, Scratch. You are beginning to give ME a migraine, and I did not even know that was possible!..... Is that Has Bean?"

Scratch and Grounder bumble around in your way!

...A steam powered factory? How odd. While Calorie was contemplating the eco-friendliness of Eggman's factory, Carbuncle's ears perked up to a familiar sound. "Guuu... Gu gugu guu guguguuu..." (My... My language has been desecrated...) Carbuncle chirped suspiciously, looking around for the source of the noise. Calorie glanced down at Carbuncle. Huh, y'know there was a certain rhythm to the way he spoke. She wondered if maybe that was how Arle understood him. Was it all in the rhythm? Before she could ask about the rather inauthentic sounding Carbuncle impression, two Saturday morning cartoon villains showed up to harass them!! Oh no!!

Carbuncle hovered a hand over his eyes at Grounder, as if trying to get a better look. "Gu guu guugu?" He chirped in reply. "...Wooow, dropping the beats and the sick burns~! Maybe after we finish feeding you your own nuts and bolts you can be my girlfriends~!" Valorie remarked in a faux sugary sweet, enthusiastic tone betrayed only by the indignant look on her face. Without further ado, she attempted to take advantage of her performance by marching on up to the bots and casually shoving them over as she passed while they might be frazzled from her words earlier!

Maribel stood in front of Metal Sonic, annoyed. "Hey what about me, aren't you going to log me into your little log?" Maribel bitterly asked the robot.

She then turned when she heard the sounds of two other robots. "Who in blazes are they? They look like two people from two stage shows that failed miserably." Maribel looked at the two robots, and she grew disgusted when it was suggested that they wanted them to be there girlfriends.

"Girlfriends? I'm not going to date any ugly robots, especially you baldy. There's no way your going to defeat us and honestly, no wonder someone like Eggman would dump you, you both look ugly, like some careless person in the art of drawing carelessly made you." Maribel referred to Grounder as she prepared her attacks, having dodged the robots sound attacks thanks to her head scarf protecting her ears.

"But you can be grounded up into ash instead!" Maribel fired off her attacks.

"Scratch and Grounder your called? Your going to be scarps and ground pounded once we deal with you, unless you let us further into this factory at once!" Maribel pouted.
