So I'm posting after about...2 years? Hope you enjoy

My Final Hours

Eggman lay in his bed, the only sound heard was the faint beeping of the life support he was hooked up to.

He knew he didn't have long left, his age finally catching up to him after all these years,

He remembered when he first met that blue pest, Sonic The Hedgehog, all those years ago. He was amazed at how a 10 year old could move so fast and his agility. Oh how he was furious, always losing to him, no matter what he tried. He was always so sure that he would win...but Sonic was always one step ahead.

Then there was Tails too. The twin tailed fox boy that followed Sonic every step of the way. For such a timid creature at times, he was very smart. Even Eggman himself was envious at some of the creations he saw...although he never admitted it.

Knuckles...gullible, gullible Knuckles. How Eggman loved it when he tricked him into thinking Sonic was after the Chaos Emeralds back on Angel Island. It was fantastic to have someone on HIS side for once. He chuckled lightly also remembering the time Knuckles was tricked yet again into thinking Sonic was trying to take the Master Emerald, just a ploy to awaken Chaos' true destructive form.

Ah Metal Sonic...his finest creation, the most perfect of all his attempts to have Sonic meet his match. Eggman remembered his attempt to turn the Little Planet into his 'Robotnikland utopia' and he almost succeeded too, but Sonic was there to foil his plans. Despite Metal's betrayel, he was proud to have created him.

Shadow, his grandfather's most perfect of creations, the ultimate lifeform. Created from Black Doom's blood, Eggman was certain he was destained for victory with Shadow's help. Alas, when the Ark was crashing to Earth, Eggman had no choice but to help Sonic and his friends to stop it from happening...after all, Robotnikland wouldn't be built if there wasn't an Earth to build it on!

Eggman looked around his room. Walls rusting from years of neglection. Dust covering shelves, nooks and crannys...how he wished he was able to do more himself. He hated being bedridden.

Eggman thought back to his other creations, Gamma, his loyal robot turned good. His true form was now happily with its family. Omega, his creation that wanted to destroy him, would it have outright destroyed him, end his misery if it saw him now? The Gizoid, or 'Emerl' as Sonic and his friends called it. Would it still be here, having fun with Sonic if he didn't help cause it's destruction.

Eggman felt himself deteriorating. He stroked the whiskers of his graying moustache and pressed a button which called for Orbot and Cubot, his two assisstants that had tried to care for him.

The two bots floated in "What is it sir?" Orbot asked. Eggman spoke weakly "Bring 'Him' here"

Cubot looked at Eggman "Who sir?" Orbot sighed "I'll get right on it"

Eggman lay silently and 10 minutes later, his door opened.

"Please sit down"

The figure sat and looked at Eggman "What is it?"

He sighed "Over the years I've done bad things...evil things, some things that are unforgivable"

"Go on"

"As you can see...those times are gone now and I don't have much time. I know you probably don't care, but..."

"I do care, even if we were enemies, it's always sad to see someone die. Besides...it was fun! It gave me something to do. Don't get me wrong, I love running, but fighting you was a lot of fun, you even beat me a few times!"

Eggman gave a weak smile, getting weaker, his eyes beginning to close "Good bye Sonic...you blue pest"

As Eggman closed his eyes for the final time, he couldn't help but smile as he heard Sonic's last words to him.

"See ya soon...Robotnik"
