Inside a nice two-story house in the Shizuoka Prefecture, a small girl named Mei was currently roaming through her family's attic. Small grunts of effort came out of her mouth every time she moved a box out of the way.
"Come on! There has to be something good around here!" Mei exclaimed as she stuck her face into a box filled with scraps. All sorts of items flew around the attic as she tore through the contents of the box like a lion. Suddenly, her small hands grabbed something heavy. After getting a good hold of it, she pulled the item out of the box with some effort and took a step back to inspect it.
"What is this?" she muttered as she looked all over the item. It was a big black box with a circle on top of it alongside an attached controller. The fading words Sega Genesis were painted on top of it. "This thing looks older than my daddy..." She tapped on the top of the box with her knuckles making a compartment open, letting out a small disc.
"Huh?" Her small yellow eyes sparked with curiosity as she inspected the disc. The words Sonic CD were printed in yellow on top of it. On the right side was a blue character with pointed ears, but what caught her attention was the character on the left. It was a copy of the character on the right, but it looked metallic, like a robotic version of the other character. "Woah! It looks so cool!" Without wasting any more time, the girl sprinted out of the attic with the black box in her hands.

Inside a basement-turned-workshop, a tall man with black hair, broad shoulders, and a permanent frown stood in front of a table filled with schematics for various projects. "I can't make an arm with this, it's too rigid..." he muttered as he pulled on his white shirt to wipe the sweat off his forehead. The name of this frustrated individual was Kyosuke Hatsume, and he was currently working on a high-end prosthesis for a Pro Hero.
SLAM!
The basement door slammed against the wall, startling Kyosuke and making him turn around. Then a pink blur flew downstairs, quickly appearing in front of him.
"Dad! Look at what I found!" Mei held out the box for her father to inspect. "Do you know what it is?" the small girl asked with a cute tilt of her head.
"That's a console, sweetie," Kyosuke said as he looked down at his daughter. "A very old one at that. Did you find this in the attic?" the man asked as he took the console from her hands. "You know you shouldn't be up there all alone, young lady. It's dangerous."
Mei let out a whistle as she avoided eye contact with her father's disapproving stare. "Really? I forgot about that rule... cough, cough Anyways! Do you think that console still works, Daddy?" the small girl asked as she turned her eyes back toward her father, giving him the most innocent look she could make.
Kyosuke flicked Mei's forehead with a finger, making the girl let out a yelp before answering her question. "We won't know until we try turning it on, don't you think so?" He moved toward the corner of the workshop, where a small TV was displaying the latest news. "Mei, pass me that cable over there," the man said, gesturing toward a cable hanging off the edge of a nearby table.
Mei quickly dashed over and grabbed the cable before giving it to her father. After doing so, she stood behind Kyosuke, bouncing on her feet as she watched him connect everything.
"That should do it," Kyosuke said as he pressed a button on the console. After a few seconds, the sounds of an old smoker came from the console before the images came to life on the screen. The same blue character Mei saw on the disc appeared inside a circular golden frame with the words Sonic CD: The Hedgehog below it. "To be honest I was expecting it to blow up. Anyways, it's all yours now, kid," Kyosuke said as he took a step back before giving Mei a pat on the head.
Mei wasted no time grabbing the controller and sitting down on the floor in front of the TV. "Thanks, Dad!" the small girl said as she pressed a button on the controller, making the game start. Her small yellow eyes quickly focused on the screen with the intensity of a child who had just discovered her new interest.
'Aaand she's gone,' Kyosuke thought as he took one last look at his daughter before walking back to his previous project.
[One hour later]
Kyosuke finally got over the problem he was having with the prosthesis. As he inspected the divisions trailing along the metallic arm, a sudden tug on his shirt made him pause and look down.
"Mei?" Kyosuke asked, confused, as his daughter pointed toward the screen. A robotic version of the character he had seen previously on the title screen was waving his finger mockingly.
"Dad, can we make him?"

Author's notes: Hello there, I want to leave some things clear from the start in case someone actually reads this.
1-This is my first fic so if anything feels weird sorry about that.
2-As of right now I'm not sure if this history is going to have romance or not (Metal is a robot he's not really Sonic) in the case i do romance it WON'T be a harem, why? cuz i don't like harems unless the story actually takes the time to develop the relations between each character and i don't feel like i would be able to do that properly.
3-Metal won't go full "I AM THE ULTIMATE OVERLORD" from the start, as you can tell from the ending it's going to be Mei and her father making him so that should keep his power level in check, not to say that he won't be strong just saying he's not going to be one-shotting All for one in the first five chapters.
4-HUE HUE HUE HUE HUE HUE
