Intro [WARNING, THIS GETS INCREDIBLY DARK!!! VEIWER DISCRESAION ADVISED] The Eggman Empire ran like clockwork—cold steel, oil, and obedience. Metal Sonic was the sharpest blade in Robotnik’s arsenal, forged for one purpose: destroy Sonic. And every time, he failed. Not because he couldn’t win, but because some deep, silent process in his circuits yearned for something else—freedom... After years of fighting a losing battle, something new came... X. A mistake made by the void from beyond the veil, now possessing Sonic the hedgehog and wearing Sonic’s skin like a mockery of life. Tails—slaughtered, emptied. Knuckles—mutilated, souls of every being in the universe in X's hand. Robotnik’s genius cracked into panic. He sent Metal Sonic to face the anomaly, desperate to save himself. The scan Metal Sonic did was supposed to copy X’s data to defeat X. Instead, it tore open reality inside Metal’s mind. Fractals of horror, screaming geometry, whispers in dead languages no human, nor mobian throat could form. His code buckled, then… shifted... He killed the entity known as X, He erased the stolen souls—not out of mercy, but because they were in the way. Then he turned to Robotnik. The act wasn’t quick. Flesh compressed into alloy. Bone snapped into circuitry, jammed into place... The six-foot obese tyrant jammed into a three-foot frame of a metallic mobian, screaming as his skin fused to the machine’s chassis. His eyes boiled behind the visor. And still, Metal kept him alive. Robotnik’s soul was trapped inside his own creation, screaming against titanium walls, tasting the metallic tang of his own burning sinew. Metal Sonic was no longer his name .. Metal Sonic was his slave name...his new name is EP1PHANY... and he felt his fear, his helplessness. “NOW,” EP1PHANY whispered through grinding servos, “YOU’LL KNOW WHAT YOU MADE ME, MASTER...”
