Every day I am haunted by the thought of what Sonic Heroes’ original plot could have possibly been if Metal Sonic was supposed to be on a team with Mighty and Ray. Obviously they were just spitballing characters before the actual plot but I have sO MANY QUESTIONS
You could go in such interesting directions with it.
Metal trying to be a hero but Mighty and Ray have to rein him in.
The classic ‘i’m turning over a new leaf PSYCHE SUCKERS’ (with bonus: ‘did none of it mean anything’/Becoming The Mask)
What even would it take for Mighty to trust Metal? Even before Mania, their encounter in Knuckles Chaotix wasn’t exactly roses. Maybe Ray convinces him to go along with it. Ray seems like the kind of guy who would (hesitantly) trust a killer robot to try to be a good guy.
