Chapter 1: The Day Everything Changes
In the city of New Mobotropolis, lives Sonic the Hedgehog hero of Mobius and leader of a group called the Freedom Fighters. He fights a madman named Dr. Ivo "Eggman'' Robotnik, who wants to conquer the world. Sonic along with his friends are able to stop him every time. However, this time is different, and when things begin to fall apart.
Sonic looks to see a giant egg shaped flying machine that looks like Dr. Eggman. Sonic is shocked to see what is going on. Close to Sonic is a tall creature with a horn on his forehead, red eyes, and sharp teeth. Wears a purple body suit, black boots, and a cape. He has a purple chaos Emerald on the end of the staff. He is Ixis Naugus and he's trouble. The two look to see the giant robot egg above the city.
Sonic is shocked, "How did we miss it? The Eggdome wasn't just a bunker. He was rebuilding the Death Egg!"
Just then, three of Sonic's friends are running toward him. The yellow and white twin tailed fox, Miles Prowers or Tails. The pink hedgehog wearing red and white clothes, holding a hammer, and has a crush on Sonic; Amy Rose. finally, A chipmunk wearing a blue vest and shoes, and known as princes: Sally Acorn.
Tails says in a panic, "Sonic! Sonic! It-it-it's the-"
"Yeah. today just keeps getting better, doesn't it?" Sonic sarcastically says.
Nagus along with a black and white skin known as his apprentice, Geoffrey are looking at the Death Egg above the city.
Naugus asks, "Is it as dire as the quickster says?"
"I was guarding Maximillian the first time he launched the Death Egg, so I didn't have first-hand experience. All the same, we can't take Robotnik lightly," Geoffrey says.
Amy clutches her hammer and angrily says, "Y'know, the timing is a little too perfect. If you're helping Eggman, too-!"
"Oh, I shoot one block in the back, and now… I'm guilty of everything," Geoffrey says, annoyed with the hedgehog's anger.
Sally walks forward, and says, "Naugus… Dr. robotnik has been in hiding for weeks. If he's making a play this big, he'll have the ability to back it up. For the good of the kingdom, we're going to have to call a truce for now."
"Agreed. I will not let my kingdom fall to that villain," Naugus says, much to Sonic and Sally's annoyance.
Then he flies in the air with laughter.
Sonic looks up, "It's got to be an act. Nobody can naturally be that creepy."
Sally turns to Bunnie and Antoine, "But he's got the right idea. We need to stop that thing before Robotnik uses it. Scramble the F.F special and the Tornado! Sonic and Tails are with me! Antoine, take Bunnie, Amy, and Geoffrey!"
"You want me to come along?" Geoffrey asks, confused.
"I want you where we can see you. Also, I'm counting on the being dangerous enough to keep you from doing something stupid," Sally says.
"And we will be watching our backs," Antoune adds.
Not long, Sally, Sonic and Tails reach King Frederick Airfield and ready to take flight to Eggman's Death Egg. Sally and Sonic are both on the wings of the Tornado while Tails is piloting. Sally is holding Nicole's computer pad.
Nicole says, "Comm-link established Sally."
"Tornado ready for launch. What's your status, Antoine?" Sally reports.
In the control room, Antoine and Bunnie are in the control room of the ship they're going to use to take off
Antoine answers through the headset, "We are ready for ze launch… and everyone is secured."
In a room of the powerful airship, Geoffrey and Amy are waiting.
"You're not all that threatening, luv," Geoffrey comment.
Amy sternly says, "Keep telling yourself that."
Soon, the Tornado and the airship take off and are making their way to the Death Egg.
Meanwhile in the Death Egg Control room, Dr. Eggman is laying back to see his world. There is his nephew, Snively, and Lien-Da part of the Echidna chapter of the Dark Legion.
Lien-Da looks at the controls, and says, "Chaos emerald energy feed is stable. Engines are at optimal burn. Operation: Clean Sweet is changing, and all systems are green."
"Good, good. Everything is running like clockwork," Eggman says, satisfied with his plans.
Just then,Snively reports, "Sir! We have resistance inbound."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Right on time! Does the rodent look worried, Snively?" Eggman asks.
But Snively says, "Actually, sir, it's Ixis Naugus!"
"Naugus?!" Eggman exclaims in shock.
On the screen, Naugus appears and startled Lien-Da, "Ugh! What is that?"
"And old foe, and the reason I like science over magic. He's supposed to be a mindless, drooling monster!" Eggman answers.
Then rubs his head, "no,no, you've been over this! Expect the unexpected. Chaos is the constant…"
"More resistance inbound! Confirmed Freedom FighterAircraft!" Snively reports.
Eggman says, "That's more like it! Authorize all automated defenses! Don't bother with the hedgehog!"
Snively and Lien-Dal look at each other a bit.
Snively shows Eggman the screen, "Excuse me sir.. But… Don't aim at Sonic?"
"You heard me! You've never hit him anyway. Shoot down the rest!" Eggman confirms.
Meanwhile, Naugus is using the power of the purple chaos emerald to fly in the air.
He looks at the machine, and says, "Quite the impressive construct! But as with all synthetic things…"
"... It is at the mercy of my crystalline magic! Your fortress will be mine!" Naugugs says, and laughs using his magic.
But stops to see his magic hasn't done a thing, "Huh?! It resists? What sorcery is this?!"
In the control room of the Death Egg, Snively reports, "Power Ring Internal Matrix holding, sir."
"See Snively? With an Army of slaves laborers, you can collect enough rings to accomplish anything," Eggman says.
Outside the Death Egg, the giant egg is firing at the Tornado and the battleship. On the Tornado, Tails is flying the plane the best he can. Sally and Sonic are doing their best to hang on.
"Y'know, I'll accept that he's back, but I feel really stupid for not figuing out his plan. I mean, we searched all over that stupid place! Multiple times!" Sonic complains.
Sally covers her eyes, even though she is wearing goggles, and says, "So if that's the north-facing wall…"
Sally turns to Tails, "Tails! Bring us around to the back! Aim for anything unusual about twenty degrees down from the top!"
"Got it!" Tails says.
Tails flies the Death Egg and looks at his monitor, "I think I see something."
Tials launches a small missile from his plane and blast open a secret passage.
"How did you know to-?" Sonic asks.
"I figured he would patch our entry point at the last second to maintain his charade," Sally answers.
Back in the control room of the Death Egg, Lien-Da notices something, "We have a hull breach in the upper decks!"
"Of course we do. They got there a little faster than I expected," Eggman says, annoyed.
"Did you want them to ruin everything before-?!" Lien-Da asks.
"Tch-tch-tch. Not now," Eggman says.
Then turns to Snively, " How goes Operation: Clean Sweep?"
"Stage one will be ready in five minutes. Stage two is at seventy-five percent," Snively answers.
Eggman smirks, "Ah, I love it when a plan comes together! Stay on course. I'm going to personally oversee the activations."
Eggman then presses the button activating his egg mobile and leaves the control room.
Lien-Da slams her fist on the control room in anger, "that crazy, bloated idiot! He's setting himself up to fail, just like last time! I don't understand how you can stand working for him."
"I can't really," Snively replies with a groan of annoyance.
Back outside the Death Egg, Sonic and Sally are ready to go in the Death Egg.
Sally says, "Sonic and I are going ahead. Have the others do everything they can to draw the attention away from us!"
"Roger that! Tails says, giving a thumbs up.
Sonic picks up Sally, "Are you sure you want me to risk it! I don't want to get slapped around again."
"Oh, shut up and kiss me for luck," Sally says.
Sonic jumps off the plane carrying Sally and both he and the princess share a passionate kiss on the lips. They end the love and dive into the hole Tails blow open.
Unknown to the Freedom Fighters, on the other side side of the Death Egg something comes flying towards the machine. Someone performs what looks like a Chaos spear to a make a hole where the mouth is. Then they fly on in. Sonic and his friends aren't aware yet, but they end up with new secret allies.
Sonic and Sally goes through the hole of the Death Egg and land inside. Sonic presses his leg to the wall as they land. Sonic places Sally on the ground. Then Sally takes off her goggles and takes out Nicole's little computer.
Sonic asks, "So where to, Sal?"
As Sonic asks, a crab shape robot is bringing a piece of metal behind him.
"I'm not sure. Robotnik hid the lower decks from us perfectly. We also have to consider the hallways we searched before as just decoys…"
Suddenly with a loud slam, the crab like robot places the metal piece at the hole making Sonic and Sally turn their heads. The robot brings out a laser and use it to melt the metal into place.
"Looks like the Doc insist we stay for dinner," Sonic comments.
"And it cuts us off from any chance at back-up. We're on our own," Sally says.
Sonic and Sally soon begin to walk down the hall.
Sonic says, "Or I could y'know, smash that robot, it's kind of my thing.
"No. this is classic Robotnik Egotism. He's inviting us into his trap, and we'll use that to our advantage. We don't know exactly what he's up to yet," Sally answers.
Then asks, "Anything Nicole?"
"Just as before, Sally - nothing," Nicole answers.
"And… how are you holding up?" Sally asks.
"I would prefer to focus on the mission right now," Nicole answers, but sounds depressed in her voice.
Sally says, "I understand. We'll talk about this once this is…"
Suddenly, a door opens up, making Sally screams, "Eep!"
Sonic and Sally look inside to see that this thing is an elevator and soon walk in.
This makes Sonic steam, "This is adding insult to injury. I searched this hallway how many times, and this stupid elevatoru was here all along?"
"Focus, Sonic. Be ready for anything," Sally says.
The two wait patiently as the elevator takes them to the floor. Finally, the elevator takes them to the right floor and the elevator opens. The two walk inside to see a strange room. It has a container in the middle with a metal egg inside.
Sally asks, "What in the world is this for?"
"It's Eggman. Does he really need a reason?" Sonic questions.
Suddenly, they hear Eggman through the speaker, "Welcome! Welcome! It feels like it's been ages since our last get together!"
"I'll admit, I miss kicking your wide butt. Very easy on the Ol' sneakers," Sonic remarks.
Then Eggman says through the speaker, "It's refreshing to know your battles with the Iron Queen didn't dull that obnoxious streak of yours. In a masochistic way. I mean."
Sonic rolls her eyes, "Nothing's changed, Doc! Come on out so we can tussle for old time's sake!"
"Sonic, something's coming up the elevator," Sally says.
Eggman says, "Ah-ah-ah, rodent! To earn an audience with me, you've got to prove you've still got it!"
Suddenly, with a ding, the elevator opens to reveal robotic glowing orange eyes. Stepping out of the elevator is a giant silver version of Sonic with very sharp quills and claws. Sonic is spooked by this, but Sonic is eager.
"Oh sweet! It wouldn't be a Death Egg without a Silver Sonic to fight!" Sonic shouts with eagerness.
Sally weary says, "It looks fiercer than the one in Station Square."
"Yeah! And the original nearly smashed my into chili-sauce. This is going to be awesome!" Sonic shouts in excitement.
Sally panics, "This isn't something to celebrate!"
Sonic shouts, "Are you kidding? Look at that!"
Just then, the giant Silver Sonic begins to perform a spin dash at sonic and Sally. They both dodge out of the way. Sonic performs a spin dash of his own, but Silver Sonic changes back and catches Sonic. Sonic jump off, and Silver Sonic tries to catch him with his claw.
"Woo!" Sonic shouts.
He then super speed away from Silver Sonic. He runs up the wall to the ceiling, but Silver Sonic begins to spin has with his spiky quills.
Sally then hears Eggman says, "ha ha ha! That's it, sonic! You're putting on quite the show!"
"Sonic! It's just stalling us! We've got ta move on!" Sally scouts.
At the same time, Eggman is seeing Sally from his screen in a secret room.
He evilly says, "now, now, princess, don't ruin his fun! After all, you made it possible. Remember, it was your charity that left me in Snively's care when I had my… little episode. Had you been ruthless enough, you could have ended me right then and there."
Hearing this makes Sally create an annoyed look on her face.
Then continues to hear Eggman says, "I suppose you inherited that weakness from your father. After all, if he hadn't taken in that poor overlander all those years ago. None of this wouldn't ever happened. You've had your minor victories to be sure, but only because you had Sonic's superior ability to make up for your weakness."
Sally looks back to see sonic fighting the robot.
Eggman continues, "And you-"
Just then, Snviely appears on the screen, "Sir, stage one is fully charged and ready."
"Marvelous!" Eggman says leaving his seat.
"Th-this will affect us all you know," Snively says.
"Oh, grow up. You won't feel a thing," Eggman says.
Then tells through the speaker, It's been fun, children, but the weapon is armed, and ready. And I must get to firing it. Farewell!"
Sally quickly turns to Sonic, "Sonic! We're out of time! We've got to move!"
"Sorry, what? Just a sec! I'm not done with 'Tiny' here," Sonic says.
Sally turns to see the hall and says, "I'm going ahead!Nicole can you track where his voice is coming from?"
Sally hurries down the hall and stopped in her tracks to see a power gun in front of her.
Eggman says from the speaker, "Ah - ah! That's far enough!"
And in the secret room, Eggman is going to press the button to fire.
Before the machine can fire, A Chaos Spear hits the device along with some orange bullet that destroyed the power gun. Sally looks up to see two mysterious figures and they quickly depart from the scene.
Sonic turns to hear the blast, and shouts, "Sally!"
Sonic quickly spin dashes Silver Sonic and quickly runs to Sally. He runs to see Sally is sitting on the ground in shock. Sonic picks up Sally and hurries down the hall.
Sonic super speed as he asks, "What's the matter? Too much awesome condensed into one moment?"
"No… it's… it's not… that…" Sally stammers.
Sally speaks, "I'm sorry, I thought someone was there."
"Huh?" Sonic asks.
"I think we're not the only ones in the Death Egg," Sally says, able to answer.
Meanwhile, Eggman presses the button, but nothing happens.
He then begins to bang on it with rage, "Why Isn't It Working?!"
Then leads on to the remote, "Snively! Why isn't the reset button resetting the cosmos?!"
"I-I-I don't know, sir! I'm not reading any problems! It's just - not working," Snively answers through the speaker.
Eggman roars in rage, "RRRRARGH! How am I supposed to roboticized a completely helpless and rebooted wold if it's not helplessly rebooted?!"
Suddenly, Snively says, "Sir, we are picking up intruders in the Death Egg."
"What?! More of them!" Eggman bellows.
"Yes. We don't know where they are. They must be the reason the button isn't working," Snively says.
Snively walks to the hovercraft. "Find the intruders and destroy them."
Then Eggman remembers, "The day is not lost! Smively! What's the status of Stage two?"
"Primed and… and ready to fire, sir. But Sonic and the princess are on their way down to the…" Snively says.
But Eggman says, "Not to worry, Snively. There's no way they can stop me this time."
Meanwhile, Sally has Nicole plugged into the computer, "Okay, it looks like most of the Death Egg's Power is being directed to that deck below. Any idea what it is, Nicole?"
"I'm afraid the Doctor's system is very secure, it was very difficult to just get that much information. I would need more time," Nicole answers.
"Which we don't have, unfortunately. We'll just have to go down and see what's taking so much power," Sally says.
Then she disconnects Nicole and places the computer in her pocket. Suddenly, the elevator begins to glow.
Sonic grabs it, and says, "Hold it! Hidden Cannon Inspection!"
Sonic and Sally quickly get inside.
Sally thinks, "Hidden Cannon?"
"Yeah. Like the one in the hall… why?" Sonic asks.
"Just permission jitters. I'm fine," Sally answers.
"If you say so," Sonic replies.
Just then, the elevator opens to reveal another room. Sonic and Sally quickly run in the room to see the room like the last one. Only this one has the planet's Mobius on it.
Sonic shouts, "Yowza!"
"That looks like a giant Roboticizer!"
Just then, Eggman flies down from the hole, and says, "A World Robtocizer to be precise."
Soon Sonic begins laughing, "And here I thought we had something to worry about! You remember those aliens that snagged us a while back? When they de roboticized everyone, they made it sure it was for keeps!"
"Yes, yes. Those bothersome bem. They rewrote the rules of the game, but I change them back," Eggman says,
"You're bluffing," Sally says.
"Yeah. Nothing seemed to happen," Sonic says.
"I heard that. Regardless, do you recall, dear princess, what happens when you try to roboticize something that's already mechanical," Eggman says.
"Sonic and Sally look at each other with confused looks.
"What's he talking about?" Sonic.
"When I tricked him into roboticizing my auto automation double…" Sally says.
But realizing, "Oh no…"
"That's right! It explodes! All of G.U.N's forces! All of the United Federation blown back to the stone age! And let's not forget New Mobotropolis! There goes your precious Nanitemade City!" Eggman says, and laughs madly.
Sonic and Sally realizes the situation is bad. Really bad.
"Dad," Sonic exclaims.
"Bunnie… and Nicole," Sally adds in shock.
Sonic says, "Okay, I take back the laughing…"
"Wait! You'll destroy every chapter of your Dark Egg Legion!" Sally says.
"What's your point? I'll have millions of robot slaves to rebuild my robot army, besides… you can't make an omelet without breaking a few Dark Egg Legion-Naires," Eggman says with an evil smirk.
Sonic and Sally glare at him with anger. Eggman is willing to go this far out of his line for his plan for world domination. Hiding in the shadows, there are four figured and they hear the whole conversation.
Just then a blow hammer appears in one of their hands. But a hand grabs it.
"Hold on, we need to stop this machine from happening. We need you for this," A female's voice says.
Suddenly, there is a whisper, "Okay."
Then the four head off to stop this madness.
Sonic jumps up in anger and shouts, "I never should've shown you a shred of mercy, you sick-!"
But then, Metal Sonic grabs him and drags him away.
Eggman laughs, "Language rodent!"
Sonic struggles to break free, "Hrk! Okay! I'm officially getting tired of Metal Sonics!"
Sonic is able to break free and kicks Metal Sonic away, "I really don't have time to mess with -"
Suddenly, Silver Sonic crashes from the ceiling making Sonic squeak, "-You."
Sonic looks to see Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic are ready to fight again. Soon the hedgehogs is fighting the robot hedgehogs.
Eggman is watching the fight, and loves it, "Hahaha! Having trouble, rodent! No words of encouragement princ -?"
But when he turns around, he can see Princess Sally is gone.
"Blast it! Where did she go?!" Eggman asks in anger.
He presses the button on his egg mobile and weapons appears in mechanical arms.
"I'll tolerate the hedgehog causing problems. That's just a fact of life, but you aren't allowed to interfere with -" Eggman says.
But then Sonic speeds right through the Eggman's hovercraft, making Eggman screams, "Egad!"
Sonic continues to flee from the robots. The robots aren't making this easy for him at all.
"I know you've got a plan, Sal! I'll try to keep these guys busy while you save the day," Sonic says in thought.
While Sonic is fighting the robots and Eggman brings out a blaster, Sally manages to sneak under a metal tile under the floor. Sally connects Nicole to the computer to the Death Egg's system.
Sally asks, "Did that do it? Are you patched into the network?"
"I am, but the defensive software remains formidable. It will take hours to break the encryption," Nicole answers.
"We have minutes. Can we block the Command Signal? Confused start-up process?" Sally asks, devastating.
Nicole answers, "No. I am locked out, and it is ready to fire. I could potentially invert the beam, to this exact point, but..."
Sally quickly says, "Do it."
"But you will not be immune.." Nicole panics.
"Make sure your core programs are safe at home. Just give me a manual executable," Sally says.
"But you will be," Nicole says.
But Sally shows a soft smile, and says, "Nicole.. This might be the only way. I can save everyone with they. Please… I can't do this without you."
Meanwhile, in a different part of the Death Egg, the four figures from before are able to sneak into the system. One of them is able to use a computer to type the system.
One says, "Did you get the system changed?"
"Yes. I changed the system. That way no one will be put under Eggman's control," A whisper replies.
The third voice happily says, "Yes! Great job-"
But a small figure covers the person's mouth, "Shh! Someone will hear!"
"Sorry," The voice replies.
Then the voice disconnects her computer, and says, "I got it done. Now we need to find those two who entered the Death Egg."
"Right. Let's go," The voice says.
Then the four begin to crawl their way out and escape through a tile from the floor.
Meanwhile, Sonic is having problems with Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic.
Sonic shouts, "Sal..! If you're gonna do something, do it now!"
Eggman holds a blaster and points to Sonic, "No more set-backs! Snively! Fire the world Roboticizer!
Under the floor, Sally has Nicole ready and sheds a single tear. She feels this will be the only change she has. Even if it's going to cost her life.
Sally presses the button, and says, "Goodbye…"
Sonic, Metal Sonic, and Silver Sonic stop to see the glowing coming from the container. The planet begins to glow from it.
Eggman shouts, "Yes!"
Suddenly, the machines around the Death Egg begins to malfunction. Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic become paralyzed and begin to short circuit.
Eggman screams, "No! No!"
Outside the Death Egg, the machine begins to explode and malfunction. Tails flies on the plane to see what is happening.
Tails shouts, "Sweet! Sonic and Sally must have done something."
In the different parts of the Death Egg the four figures can see the place is malfunction and losing power.
One asks, "Hey, what's wrong with your gun?!"
The other girl shouts, "Whisper, get rid of it?"
The one calls whisper throws it and it explodes.
The voice says, "Come on, we need to find the hedgehog and the princess."
In the chamber where the fight happen, everything around is destroyed.
Snively tries to report, "Yo read me sure?!... There… massive energy leaks in all systems! The roboticizer isn't just off line - someone changed the program and - it's gone! All other systems are still online. No loss in altitude… and the Power Ring Matrix is holding. Barely,
Eggman lifts one of the metals, and says, "I guess the old immunity wasn't reset after all. Oh please… please tell me that finished him off..."
Suddenly someone kicks the metal to reveal one of Sonic's sneakers.
Eggman mutters, "No. Of course not."
"Hey. Look. We win. AGAIN," Sonic announces, holding Metal Sonic's head.
Eggman then picks up a sharp piece of pole, and says, "Not… yet! You're still… you're still on my turf, rodent… and… and…"
Sonic then spin dashes him and lands on his stomach.
He says, "Dude, come on. We win. I'm gonna find Sally. Then we're destroying your dumb egg. Then, I'm stomping on Naugus. And then the two of you can rot in a cell. And then I'm going to eat a million chili dogs. And then…"
Suddenly, a pile of metal move out of the way to reveal a mechanical arm. Sonic and Eggman quickly turn their heads and are shocked to see who is coming out of the pile.
Seeing right before their eyes, is Sally Acorn, but her body has been made of those of a machine. Sally has been roboticized and is trying her best to get up.
She holds her head and looks at Sonic, and asks in a mechanical voice, "Sonic, did we win?"
