erosion but it would take thousand of years
Metamorphic rock can melt under the surface of the earth, and the harden into an Igneous rock. As an Igneous, it could crystalize, or break down into sediment where it can become either Igneous or Sedimentary.
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
Metamorphic rocks underground melt to become magma. When a volcano erupts, magma flows out of it. As the lava cools it hardens and becomes igneous rock.
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
All rocks can become igneous rocks. With weathering and erosion, an igneous rock can become a sediment. Then with compaction and cementation, it can become a sedimentary rock. With heat and pressure, it will turn into a metamorphic rock. Or it can melt and turn into an igneous rock. There are many more ways rocks can change types... that is the rock cycle.
An igneous rock is cooled magma. So first it would have to melt. From there it could become any igneous rock depending on the environment.

Metamorphic rock
A metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock by melting and cooling
Weathering and erosion cause the igneous rock to break apart causing sediments from it to go somewhere like a river. Than over time compaction and cementation cause it to become a sedimentary rock.
If a metamorphic rock were to reach the mantle and melt, it would become magma. If that magma were then to recrystallize it would be an igneous rock.
