Equestria is a natural world. The landscape is green, clear and otherwise beautiful. The forests are dense and full of animals and plant-life and the mountains tower high above the world. The most unique features of the world are the towns and cities that exist, such as Ponyvillie and Canterlot. Nestled in the more hidden areas of the landscape, far from Ponyvillie, was something unique. Something dark and different, casting a massive shadow on the landscape as the morning sun began to rise of the horizon.

What appeared to be a half of a dark, metallic factory sat in the otherwise idealistic landscape, acting as an eyesore. The wreckage had pillars of smoke billowing up from burning structures within the factory, as if it had been torn in two separate pieces. The area wasn't desolate, but it wasn't full of life either. Metallic contraptions few around the wreckage, putting out fires and removing debris, but some of the robots themselves looked like they should be among the scrap metal on the ground themselves. Inside the factory wasn't much better. Rooms were cracked and split with miscellaneous items on the floor. Screws, tools, destroyed mechas. The assembly line was left in pieces with all the robotic arms and tools scattered around the room.

However, one place remained intact. Inside were several large containers with several amazing contraptions. In one was a spherical flying machine, designed for a large individual. In another was an old and rather rusty silver robot with a blunt looking buzzsaw attached to the back of it's head. The tube was labeled "Silver Sonic" The now inactive eyes of the machine were cracked, being preserved for unknown reasons. Perhaps nostalgia.

However, in one tube was a robot in near perfect condition. It was sleek and well-made. Painted in a dark blue with a reactor in it's chest, powered down, but clearly ready for use. It's arms and legs were thin, yet strong looking, the hands looking more like claws. At that moment, the room lit up, as the blast doors of the room opened up. A man stood in the doorway, hunched over slightly, as if he was dazed and confused. He coughed loudly as he stumbled towards the flying vessel.

"Begin pre-flight checks and repairs!", he yelled aloud. Several large screen lit up around the tube as it opened, many flashing red indicating damage. 

"Eggmobile in unsutable condition. Beginning repairs", a monotone voice replied. Many arms appeared from the wall, tending to the machine, making repairs and refueling it. The man waddled over to the tube containing the blue robot and grinned widely.

"Activate SCD:1997, codename "Metal Sonic" for scouting. Find any signs of life and 'introduce' them to the Eggman empire!", he proclaimed. The tube opened and the robot immediately came to life with sharp red eyes. They reflected on the glasses of the mad man who created it. The reactor in it's chest spun up and the robot shot up into the ceiling and burst through to the outside. It hovered directly in front of the sun, casting it's image on the world below. It rotated it's head in all directions, looking for a place of interest. Making a mechanical gargle, the machine flew off into the distance, searching for life.

Back in the room, the man looked back to his flying vessel. Many of the information screens lit up green as the machine was being fixed. The man began to cackle madly as he announced skyward;

"Look out, Equestria! Your new ruler will soon begin his coronation tour!", he announced.

"Eggmobile repair ET is 10 hours", the monotone voice replied.

"Don't ruin the moment", he replied.
