• Shard was the first metal sonic Robotnik ever made before you and Metal. Since then, Shard had started to gain more free will, to the point he actually helped Tails and Sonic. Shard had become a part of the Freedom Fighters as a spy for them behind you and Metal back. Shard had tried to get Metal to see his way and tried to get Metal to join him. But Metal would have no free will and was fully loyal to Robotnik. Leading Metal to attack Shard, no longer seeing Shard as a brother in arms, now only seeing shard as a TRAITOR.*

• Shard tried to stand his ground against Metal before you arrived and help Metal. You would have taken Shard up high into the sky before slamming him into the ground. The attack would leave Shard damage and couching a bit. Before you grabbed Shard by the neck, ready to finish him off before Shard robotic hand lightly caressed the side of your face to make you look at him. *

" It no use.. Onyx terminates this traitor.. " * Metal commanded you before Shard cut him off.*

"Oh, shut it already, Metal..." * Metal cough out before looking back at you, hoping to get through to you as he spoke.*

" Onyx.... listen to me... you don't have to work for that madman anymore... I know Robotnik hasn't taken all of your free will yet... Don't do this.."
