For years,
Eggman had been thinking up various plans to destroy Sonic the Hedgehog, his
friends and to bring the Eggman Empire into reality. But regardless of what
plan he had, Sonic and co. were always there to stop his plans and send him
packing to think up a new plan... or so they thought.
After his
recent loss to Sonic and Friends, Eggman sits down at his computer and watches
back recordings of his previous fights with all of them... from Sonic and
Eggmans first encounter to their latest, he had been studying their attack
plans, abilities, strengths and weaknesses in the hope that he could one day
finally take over the world. With a evil smirk underneath the bristles of his moustache,
he set to awaken all the robots he had been perfecting throughout the years...
a fleet amassing in the hundreds of thousands, split into teams specifically
targeted for specified sectors of Mobius, ensuring no place be untouched by his
mechanized take-over.
Eggman spoke
to himself; “I have been planning this
ever since that blue rodent first put a spine in my side... these “eggsentric”
plans, that sonic calls them, were merely just to gather data. What fools to
think I was going to use a Cowbot to take over a small town?! Hahahahahaha!!
This time, I won’t announce my attack until it’s fully in motion... and maybe,
just maybe... I’ll finally have the empire that’ll bring Sonic and his band of
freedom fighters to his knees!! OH HOHOHOHOHOHOOO!!!” With the commands in
place, he sent off his army of robots to take over Mobius whilst he activated
Metal Sonic for a special task.
Eggman
instructed to Metal; “I want you to keep
sonic distracted whilst the other robots reap havoc across Mobius. The less interference
he runs on my plan, the higher the chances I will succeed.” He sent Metal
Sonic off to do as he instructed and prepared his computer for his global
domination speech.
Meanwhile,
oblivious to the events that were about to transpire, Sonic and friends were
kicking back in Adabat, enjoying a long awaited vacation. Sonic and tails were
sunbathing, Knuckles decided to put his treasure hunting skills to the test by
searching for anything valuable... whilst Amy, Cream and cheese made sand
castles and played in the sea. Sonic looked over at Tails with a smile on his
face and started unknowingly foreshadowing. He said to Tails; “Y’know buddy, it’s been a while since
Eggman has posed a legitimate threat to be honest. I mean... he’s basically
thrown endless idiotic robots at us, that I’m surprised he didn’t design one
off of a kitchen sink. I just feel that... he’s got something big planned, and
I don’t know what.”
Tails
replied; “I know that feeling Sonic... I
may be enjoying myself here, but I’m as nervous as you to be-“before Tails
could finish, Metal sonic had located and confronted them. Sonic jumped onto
his feet and grabbed his sneakers. “And
this is just what I need to calm the nerves” he boasted, whilst putting on
his sneakers. The 2 clash and speed off away from the others to avoid getting
them tangled up in the mess.
Tails shrugs
to himself as he goes back to relaxing... but their fun is short lived when
various shadows start flying over them. Amy looks into the sky and sees that on
closer inspection that there are thousands of Eggmans Robots flying over head
with some closing in for an attack. Amy summoned her hammer out of thin air and
shouted at Tails: “Get cream and cheese
out of here! I’ll keep the robots busy whilst you get some distance!”
Tails
reluctantly acknowledged Amy’s request, took Creams hand and rushed off through
the jungle in a hope to find Knuckles along the way. Meanwhile, Sonic was
fighting Metal Sonic all across Adabat, unknowing of what was happening until
Metal stopped and started playing a transmission. The voice that could be heard
was Eggmans, and he explained his plan; “I
hope you have been enjoying your playtime with Metal, Sonic... because whilst
you have been doing that, I have taken the liberty to send my vast robot army
all over Mobius to mechanicalize it and transform it into the Eggman Empire.
Look above you and you’ll see my plan taking effect. The main reason why I got Metal Sonic to get
your attention was because I wanted you distracted whilst I spread havoc
globally and went after your friends. The next time you’ll see me Sonic, is as
ruler of the Eggman Empire... Toodles. OH HOHOHOHOHO!!!”
Sonic soon
manages to subdue Metal long enough to escape and find out where the others
have taken refuge in the mist of Eggmans domination. A short time later, he
narrowly avoids Amy’s hammer, which seemed to have been thrown by one of the
robots. Sonic grabs her hammer and rushes off in the direction it was thrown,
only to find Amy and Tails knocked out, Cream and Cheese hiding in a cave for
safety and Knuckles struggling against a horde of Robots. Sonic rushes in to
aid Knuckles and Requests that they get out of the area as soon as possible, so
they can get to somewhere they know is safe.
Sonic
manages to wake Tails up, whilst picking up an unconscious Amy Rose... feeling
like this was all on him because he was so easily distracted by Metal Sonic.
The gang rushes off to where the tornado was located and Sonic asks tails; “Are you sure you’re okay to fly buddy?”
in which Tails replies “I’m sure Sonic!
Besides, we need you to for the defence part.” Sonic agrees with the reply
and helps Knuckles load Amy into the passenger’s seat, whilst Knuckles rides on
the wing of the plane with Cream and Cheese under his arm. But before Tails
could take off, they were ambushed by Eggmans robots... Sonic didn’t want his
friends to go down with him, so he cleared a path through so they could take
off safely whilst Sonic brought them some time. He fought valiantly, but succumbed
to the overwhelming number of robots, and was eventually captured.
Sonic later
woke up in a high tech cell, especially designed for him and was confronted by Dr.
Eggman. Eggman had the biggest evil smile on his face for a long time... he had
Sonic where he wanted him... Eggman boasted; “Finally, I’ve captured you Hedgehog, and this time... you have the
best seat in the house. OBSERVE!!” Eggman turns on the monitors surrounding
Sonics cell, in which they show the Doctor’s plan coming to effect perfectly.
Eggman boasted again; “I will finally be
triumphant!! The freedom fighters are disbanding for their safety, their best
hero is now under my control... and the Eggman Empire will finally be a
REALITY!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Sonic looked
around at the devastation being shown on the screens and curled up into a ball,
knowing there was nothing he could do. It was then; Sonic finally felt what it
was like to be helpless and lost. There wasn’t a chance for him to be rescued
by anyone, and there was no-one out there to prevent Eggmans plan. The future
would now be grim and Mobius would soon be the Eggman Empire... the only thing
he could hear now, is the echo of Eggmans evil laugh throughout the chamber.
