Two bright red points slowly faded into view amidst an otherwise black computer screen that had purposefully been shaped to resemble a set of glaring eyes.
"Good. You're awake." These were the words detected by the owner of said screen, among other distant sounds.
"Where… am I?" he risked speaking back to the voice. "Who am I?" With these questions he pulled himself up into a sitting position and observed his surroundings. He found himself in the middle of a sea of blinking lights and machinery. Even though he'd never seen anything before this, the sight looked… oddly familiar, somehow.
"You are Hyper Metal Sonic." When the voice he heard before answered, the newly activated robot turned toward the source of it. Standing before him was a tall, oddly shaped human with red tunic, glinting eyeglasses, and an abnormally large moustache. He was suddenly ambushed by data concerning the human such as age, height, weight, body temperature, and more. His advanced processor took in the information without even an inch of effort.
"And this," the human continued, gesturing to the room around them both with arms outstretched, "is your home, as well as mine, and that of many other robots like you."
"I see…" Metal let his gaze drift around the poorly lit room for a moment before returning to the only organism within it. "And, who are you?"
"Why, I'm the one who created you, and all those other robots I mentioned. I brought you into this world with my own two hands." Judging by the tone of voice his apparent creator used, Metal concluded that this must've been quite a feat.
"I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but I commonly go by 'Dr. Eggman' or just simply 'Eggman.'"
"And why have you created me, Dr. Eggman? What purpose do I serve?" the young robot pressed eagerly.
"You were made for one thing and one thing only: to ensure the death of my arch nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog."
