#is it just regular metamy but more boring? maybeee

A Metamy swap au that I came up with around Metamy week but didn't end up doing anything with it, so here:

Metal Sonic is a hero. He was built by Eggman to protect people and modeled after Sonic. Sonic is not necessarily evil in this au, just doesn't have his kind heart and so is destroying shit for fun and doesn't care about anything. Eggman is still trying to take over the world, but instead of building giant robots about it, he's just doing regular capitalism and manipulating people. Metal doesn't know about this, he's made to be a heroic protector and that's what he does. He's not allowed to be a person outside of that.

Amy Rose is not a villain... necessarily. She's a lot like Sonic, just being destructive and doing her own thing. Sonic inspired her to take her life in her own hands and do what she wants, and apparently what she wants is being a general nuisance. (Sonic & his friends are not necessarily malicious, just selfish and uncaring, but they're also chaotic and unpredictable so it makes them dangerous)

And obviously they meet later when he's trying to stop her while she's terrorizing a city. Eventually they end up bonding. He learns to live for himself and that everything isn't as easy as he had thought. She lets herself open her heart again. You know how that is.
