Another day at the Egmman empire has passed and it was another reminder of the fact that his dearly hated "father" has a new favourite. His new "sister" sage that has been made through circumstances back at the starfall islands.
Before Sage, Metal, despite his enslavement, was at the very least '"Eggmans gratest creation". But no, now with her here he didnt even have that anymore. Now he was just anoter creation who'd get the nastiest words words thrown at him everytime he messed up. May it be something major like failing to retrive a Chaos Emerald or something minor like accidentally dropping something he was supposed to bring his Eggman.
And there was nothing that he could do against it either. He was first of all: Forced to stay, thanks to the Obey Eggman protocol. And second of all: he was dependant on Eggman, all the ressources the Eggman empire provided were too good to leave behind. He could theoratically rebel again and seize the Eggman empire again but Eggman was prepared for such a thing happening again. He made precautions. So there truly was nothing he could do.
He didnt't even have anyone he could talk to, because he can't even talk. Thats all he was: a mute enforcfer for the Eggman empire. Not being able to say what he actually thinks or who he actually was.
Nothing he did was for himself, all for a mad man. All for even when he was succseful he didn't get praised. Just ackowlegment that it has been done. Any and all praise went to HER. THAT STUPID AI CHILD THAT CAME FROM NOWHERE.
HE DIDNT HAVE ANYTHING. HE WAS NOTHING! HE WAS WORTHLESS! NOTHING BUT A MACHINE TO MAKE HIM HAPPY! ANYTHING GOOD HE HAD WAS GONE ONCE SHE CAME INTO THE PICTURE! NOTHING WOULD EVER MAKE THINGS EVEN SOOMEHWAT TOLERABLE AGAIN! NO ONE LOVED HIM! NOT HIS FATHER! NOT HIS SISTER! NOT EVEN HE HIMSELF! THE ENTIRE WORLD HATED HIM! HE JUST WANTED TO GET OUT OF HERE! HE WANTED TO BE FREE!
But deep down, he'd knew he never get that. And even worse, part of all of this was his own fault.
