This is literally going to be a "sonic forces done right fanfic"
Sega somehow messed up sonic forces in almost everyway, so my job here is to make a good fanfic using sonic forces as a base
Let's start shall we :)
Chapter 1: The Mysterious Gem and a new plan
In the middle of nowhere, there was a little base, this was Eggman's base, and the owner of this base was deep underground in front of a REALLY big computer, he was watching the security cameras and apparently a group of mercenaries (they were like 20 or so) was coming probably for him, what a surprise, like he never gets one of this kind of moments ever, clearly this was not new to him so he just send a squad of 10 egg pawns, but instead of the normal ending he always get, which is the defeated of whoever tries to get in his base, send the unconscious intruder in a cannon and then just shoot them away, but NOPE, today was different, the mercenaries were defeating his egg pawns and were starting to get extremely close, but he respond by sending a bigger squad, this time with 20 egg pawns, 20 egg fighters, 6 egg chasers and 1 elite egg robo... they all got obliterated, now he was starting to get annoy, so he just send a even BIGGER squad that is made out of 50 egg pawns, 50 egg fighters, 25 egg chaser, 20 egg robos, 15 E-2000R, 15 egg knights and 1 REALLY BIG moto-bug... and they still got obliterated, now he was starting to get nervous, but he is not going to fall today so he send the same squad times 5, plus metal sonic and himself in a modified version of the egg emperor (it's the same thing but with a stronger armor), now they were making progress, some of the mercenaries fell unconscious, eggman forces were falling too, and this little fight continue for a while, to the point that only 5 mercenaries were left and eggman still had more than a third of his forces, but he felt that there was something different about one of the mercenaries, probably the boss of this group, he was watching that one and the difference was that, unlike his team that were fighting with the only purpose of taking him down, kinda like sonic, but that one was more of a killer, throwing kicks and punches with a fury that was kinda creepy (clearly that one has mental issues) and another thing eggman noticed is that he was faster and stronger than the rest and that he was getting more destructive everytime one of his robos taunt him, clearly he would end up as a gory mess if that one gets to him, but in the mid-fight a earthquake happen and that is weird, eggman always gets a message for that kind of stuff, his question were answered the moment he look at the sky, a pink portal appeared which drop a gem, using his machines to distract the mercenaries while he gets to the gem, he noticed that the gem was giving some crazy signals, clearly there was a BIG power in that little gem, but that's for another moment, right now there is a battle to end.
Like half an hour later.
Finally he beat all of the mercenaries (well... beat is not the best term, they all dead) and he bring all of the dead bodies to the depths of his base, to start experimentating with the gem on them, and in the few hours that he use for that, he discover that the gem could create illusions of whatever he wanted, creates portals to any place he wanted, this little gem could be the key to victory he was looking for in all these years, he could finally beat sonic and create eggmanland, but if he wants to win he needs to plan this very carefully:
1-Get information: He needs to know where and when they do stuff, use time in his side, and that is easy, use the gem to disguise his machines as normal citizens and critters.
2-Find a secret accesible place : Use portals to find the most strategic places to be uses as both entrance and exit for his machines, plus find places for decoy fortresses, that is also easy, just use the spies for that.
3-The most simple step: Make as many robots as posible of all kinds, both classic and modern.
4-Take down sonic: Probably the most important thing of this plan, the moment that blue bafoon is out of the picture, taking over the world is gonna be piece of cake. Ok, his friends are also a problem, but not as big a him.
Now eggman has a plan, but he still can't get the full power of the gem, that thing clearly can do more than illusions, and that he needs a place to hold it, because having it in his hands would be a bad idea, (we don't want to repeat what happen in The Lost Hex with the Zeti, right?) it requires a vessel, and that was the moment when the idea appear, use that destructive mercenarie to test the gem capabilities in the battlefield, but first we need to make him better,(we don't want to lose a powerful soldier in the first battle right?) not only to beat sonic and his friend, but also G.U.N. and if things go to the extreme, we may end up againts deities such as chaos and both Dark and light Gaia, and if things go to a even more extreme, we may fight againts other dimensions and we need to be ready for everything.
2 months later.
Eggman was watching a chamber trought the security cameras, the chamber he was watching was no other than the training and testing chamber, where he test the power of everything in his arsenal and he was watching his newest soldier, he put a lot of upgrades to the body (extra speed and streght) and mind (it was an upgrade of metal sonic A.I. plus a little bit of shadow DNA that he stole from the capsule that G.U.N had) which he was going to admit that this new addition of the empire was quite powerful without the gem, and talking about the gem, he give a name to it "The Phantom Ruby", is a fitting name and it gives a little feel of mistery to the object, but the main thing here is not the gem, is the one that is holding the gem, which is showing some insane level of combat skill plus using the power of the gem to put the battlefield in his advantage, clearly there was going to be an epic fight right from the start.
He had the weapons, the soldiers, the power and soon the eggman empire was going to be a REALITY.
End of the first chapter of my version of sonic forces.
i still have no idea of how sega messed up one of the most epic moments of the franchise, but that is why im here now, to reppair the mistake they created.
i hope you all like it, give reviews so i can tell that this is going the right way and see you all in the next chapter.
BYE :D
