[center][b]"My scanning indicates that logically judging from my voyages that there surely must be a second Chaos Emerald in this area. If Eggman or even Sonic can't find even more than one of those damned crystals, then surely have two should give me a much higher-"[/b] Metal Sonic repeated to himself aloud, blinking blankly for a brief moment as the entirety of his vision returned as documents and other computing files were snugly put aside for later examination. Sensing a clear presence speeding behind him, the anthropomorphic robot had begun to ignore it, shrugging it off as nothing more than a slow, incompetent pilot trying to chase after the almost supersonic, steel hedgehog. Shocked as his receptors and other data retrievers picked up movement that was actually gaining distance, Neo Metal Sonic swiftly turned around as his dark grey cape was violently fluttering in the uneasy breezes of the Pacific Ocean. The sight was, from the robot's standpoint, almost laughable. From all of the strange and diverse organic lifeforms he had seen since The Great Merge, these were surely on his list for being up there if you will. Part of him saw no desire to even attempt to attack them, one of the reasons being their frail, plushy nature and the mere fact their anatomy strikes them as being almost practically boneless. Intently examining them as one of them spoke out for directions, a uneasy huff rebutted back, oddly audible through the roaring engine on the terrorist's back. [b]"A wise person knows the direction simply by looking at the position of sun. Besides, you look like nothing more than a mass of fat and blood. I will not waste my time with petite inferiors."[/b] Metal Sonic grudgingly explained, paying his visitors with both taunts and spite. It was clear he was not the most friendliest of robots, but from Metal Sonic's twisted, demented viewpoint, all of his work was for the better of everything with a conscious on this torn planet.[/center]
