Sonic & Eggman vs Velo's Video Game
Chapter 1: Teaming up.
It was another day for our hero as Sonic the Hedgehog was fighting his arch-rival Dr. Eggman yet again. They were at the Chemical Plant as Eggman's new base was located there. The fight was just the same, Sonic trying to defeat Eggman and stop him from conquering the world to create the Eggman Empire or as Eggman calls it 'Eggman Land'. Eggman decided to make a robot similar to the Egg Dragoon but make a second version with strong armour and powerful missiles that could attract and sense Sonic. He called it the Egg Dragoon 2.
No matter how Sonic manages to hit the copy of the Egg Dragoon, it didn't make a single dent. He wasn't going to give up. Sonic never gives up as he's the world's greatest and bravest hero. All he needed to do is investigate and find its weak spot. 'Even Eggman would be dumb enough to leave out a button or something that actually breaks the Egg Dragoon 2' he thought.
"It's no use Sonic. I made sure that you won't defeat me this time." Eggman laughed after that as he was finally going to be victorious but Sonic wouldn't admit defeat. "Just give up now and l won't kill you."
"I'll never give up Eggman and you'll know it!" Sonic yelled out.
"We'll see about that, hedgehog."
Sonic then started attacking again to try making it loose balance but still it wasn't working as Sonic predicted. He needed to find its weak spot and fast before he loses all of his energy and admit defeat. He saw Eggman laughing as he was about to make his dreams come true but Sonic growled softly so Eggman wouldn't hear him. He had enough playing around.
"Maybe if I hit every part of the robot, I could discover its weak spot faster." Sonic told himself and making sure Eggman didn't hear him.
Sonic attacked once more but in every part of the Egg Dragoon 2's armoured body. As his Spin Dash was really fast, it didn't take long to hit something that made the robot unbalanced. It weak spot was its head right above where Eggman was sitting and controlling the robot. Sonic started hitting it multiple times making it and the controls go haywire. Eggman didn't like what was happening for who knows how many times.
"No! Not again!" Eggman yelled out while complaining and hits the eject button from where he was sitting. He flung up into the air just in time as the Egg Dragoon 2 exploded and broke down into a million pieces. Eggman landed in front of Sonic who had a smirk on his face.
"Well Eggman. You've been defeated again." Sonic told him.
Then all of a sudden, a weird portal came up behind Eggman. Sonic wondered if this was part of Eggman's backup plan to get rid of him. Sonic was ready for anything that came up to him and also was going to get furious as well.
"I hope that portal behind you isn't part of your backup plan." Sonic told Eggman.
Eggman didn't know what Sonic was talking about as he looked behind him. The portal was a different shade of purple, dark purple, violet and other kinds. They wondered if that was a portal to a different world or dimension.
"That isn't my creation." Eggman answered.
They both Sonic and Eggman felt like that they were going to get sucked in there as what the portal was actually doing. Sonic had to get away from that and so did Eggman. Sonic wouldn't leave him behind so he grabbed Eggman's arm and started running the opposite way.
Eggman didn't question or care about why Sonic grabbed hold of him but if he was going to get away from that portal he had to trust Sonic. No matter how fast Sonic was running, he was still getting pushed into the unknown portal. He was starting to wear out as he couldn't run any more but he didn't stop as they were pushed inside and the portal disappeared from the Chemical Plant.
Outside the portal, Sonic and Eggman landed on the ground on what felt like sand, but it wasn't sand. Eggman was the first to open his eyes and looked around his surroundings and heard a crowd cheering. 'We landed in an ancient stadium' Eggman thought. He then found Sonic right next to him on the ground still. Eggman decided to help him up as they needed to find a way home.
"Sonic wake up." Eggman said as he was shaking the blue hedgehog side to side.
"Huh?" Sonic said as he opened his eyes and spotted Eggman right next to him. Eggman held out a hand to Sonic to help him up which Sonic accepted and was pulled up from the ground.
"You alright?" Eggman asked in hesitation. Eggman hated Sonic a lot but he did care a little.
"Yeah I'm fine. Quick question, why are you helping me?" Sonic briefly asked.
"Look around you." Eggman only replied instead of answering Sonic's question. Sonic then did as he was surrounded by an alien like crowd with Eggman.
"Where are we?" Sonic asked and hoping that Eggman would have an answer to this weird and unknown place they were.
"I have no idea." Eggman answered.
"So that portal we were sucked into led us to an unknown stadium?" Sonic asked not only Eggman but himself as well.
Their questions were then put on hold as they heard trumpets being played as what seemed to be an entrance for a leader. Then a large green alien came out with a purple robe around him and a crystal scepter. The crowd cheered louder as they saw their leader in front of them. The leader then started walking over to Sonic and Eggman.
"Ah, we have new challengers here today." The leader said to them.
"Hold on, challengers?" Sonic asked and was confused by the word challengers.
"Yes challengers. Welcome to Video Game Stadium a planet which is far away from any other planet, but around here, we're the only planet in existence." The leader explained to Sonic and Eggman.
"So we came from a different dimension which we land on a weird and unknown planet which is a billion light years away from any other existent planet?" Eggman asked and explained at the same time. It was lucky for Sonic as he understood the old man's scientific language.
"You can say that to make things understandable for you two." The leader replied.
"Nearly for us two as I nearly didn't understand a word he said." Sonic said as he complained and questioned Eggman's smart comment.
"Shut up Sonic!" Eggman yelled as Sonic was making fun of him. Sonic smirked after that.
"Anyway, back to my question about us being challengers?" Sonic said as he got back to reality and to know why they were both here.
"As you can see, my name is Velo, Emperor of this planet and I randomly pick people who are arch rivals and nemesis to make them complete my video game and you must complete my number of challenges in order for you two to go home, so I picked you two which you both are a porcupine and old person?" Velo said and asked what their appearance was.
"HEY I'm not a porcupine! I'm a hedgehog!" Sonic yelled back at him.
"And I'm not that old! I'm only 50." Eggman yelled back as well.
"Well then, now I know what you two are what are your names?" Velo asked.
"I'm Sonic the Hedgehog and this is Dr. Eggman." Sonic introduced himself and Eggman to Velo.
"Now that we have everything settled are you two ready?" Velo asked them as he wanted to start his game.
"Give us a minute." Eggman said.
"Very well." He answered.
Sonic and Eggman took a few steps away from Velo as they needed to discuss what they were about the face and also how it was going to work out. Whatever Sonic and Eggman had in mind, neither of them would like it. They would have to go along with it as they needed to do this and get home.
"Do you have any bright ideas, hedgehog?" Eggman asked Sonic hoping that it would be a good one if Sonic already thought of one.
"I do but I know you'll hate it." Sonic told Eggman.
"Well tell me, we don't have all day." Eggman said impatiently.
"Okay, in order for us to complete this video game as that Velo guy recalls it, we're gonna have to team up." Sonic explained to Eggman.
Eggman didn't like this but it was the only way for him and Sonic to get back home. Who knows what's happening now back with the others as Tails would think Sonic is missing or hasn't come back and everyone else wondering why it's so quiet and why Eggman's not threatening to take over the world. Eggman had to trust Sonic there but he thought of what would happen along the way when they're battling these challenges, but he had to wait until they come up to them.
"Fine we'll team up. I think it's a good idea to do it this way as who knows what we come up to." Eggman told Sonic.
"I knew you'd see things my way this time. Don't worry I won't go rough on you this time and I hope you do that same thing for me." Sonic told Eggman.
"I can't believe I'm going to say this but, you can count on me." Eggman finally said.
Sonic didn't laugh or didn't crack up a joke when Eggman said that he could count on him but he actually smiled at his arch rival. He knew working together as a team would get them both through this and more importantly, get them back home. Sonic and Eggman then walked back to Velo who was still waiting for them to be ready.
"We're ready to go." Sonic told them.
"Excellent! Before I teleport you to your first challenge, I should tell you how you got here." Velo told them.
"We're all ears." Sonic said.
"That portal was a Dimensional Wormhole, it can teleport you to anywhere in the universe and I'm going to use the same portal to teleport you to every challenge I made up for you." Velo explained to the rivals.
"Now we know everything. Now hurry up and teleport us to your first challenge so we can get this over and done with and go home!" Eggman demanded.
"Very well. Once you get there I'll tell you what you need to do." Velo told them to give them a reminder.
Sonic and Eggman nodded as they needed to say nothing else and stop this conversation. Velo then used his scepter and made the portal which blew Sonic and Eggman inside to face their first challenge.
