==Characters==
===Sonic===
Sonic Claims To Be The "Fastest Thing Alive". He Is An Anthropormorphic Animal In A Small Planet Named Earth (Often Times Erroneously Called Mobius), And Due To A Mutation, His Spikes Are Blue. Sonic's Parents Are Unknown, But Sonic States That He Left His House After Eggman's First Defeat.
Sonic's Nemesis Has Always Been A Man Named "Eggman", Or Dr. Robotnik For Others, Who Tried Using Animals As "Organic Batteries" To Power His Robots. After His First Defeat, Eggman Focuses His Efforts Fully Into Erasing Sonic From Existence, Even Creating Robots Based On Him. Of These, Metal Sonic Has Had Most Success.
Other Times, Sonic Has Battled In Other Universes, In The Future, Even In Other Planets, Sometimes Battling Eggman, Sometimes Not.
===Metal Sonic===
Metal Sonic Is The Second Robot In The Metal Series, After Silver Sonic (Or Mecha Sonic, As Nicknamed By Tails). He Was Used In A Plot By Eggman To Capture Gems Known As "Time Stones" Residing In Little Planet. Afterwards, Metal Sonic Captured Amy Rose, Intending to use her to lure sonic to his location. Unfortunately, Metal Was Defeated By Sonic.
One Year Later, Metal Was Awakened By Eggman On Mad Gear Zone, Then Leaving To Find Sonic During The Events Of Sonic 4. Ultimately, Metal Sonic Was Defeated, Leading Him To Be Repaired During Sonic Adventure. In His Other Appearances, He Has Been Defeated Time And Again By His Organic Counterpart, Leading to him Becoming Extremely Hateful Of Sonic.
He Once Rebelled against Eggman, But Is Now Fully Loyal Again.

At First He Used Varied Models Of Robots On His Takeover Of South Island. When His Robots Discovered Gemstones Called "Chaos Emeralds", Whose Powers Are Unlimited, Eggman Was Keen On Taking Them. Using His "Chaos Energy Detector", Eggman Found Six Emeralds, While The Last One Was A Keepsake Of Sonic The Hedgehog's. Eggman Tried Forcing Him To Hand It Over, But Sonic Quickly Ran Away. After Receiving Notice That He Was Destroying His Robots, Eggman Mobilized His Force To Take Him Out...

Knuckles Is A Descendant Of Pachacamac, And A VERY Distant Relative Of Tikal. After The Great Cataclysm, One Of Knuckles' Ancestors Swore To Protect The Master Emerald, Which Had Been Misused Before. The Master Emerald Lured Exiled Echidnas To Angel Island, Keeping The Echidna Race Alive... However, It Seems Knuckles Is The Last Of His Kind, As Far As He Knows.
Knuckles Initially Was Tricked By Eggman Into Believing sonic & Tails Were Trying To Steal The Master Emerald. Only When Egg Robo Stole The Master, Did He Find Out The Truth...
