Sonic The Hedgehog: Reign of The Eggman Empire.
Chaper one: A Dark Dawn
It was late in the afternoon and Tails had just made it back to his living quarters. He had spent most of the day down in his lab; working on his latest invention.
"Yawn! I'm so tired." Sleepy-eyed he walked to his kitchen. He was just grabbinga coke when the phone rang. Setting his coke down, he rushed back to the livingroom to get the phone.
"Hello, Prowers Residence." Tails answered. "Tails? Is that you? It's Sonic." Tails lazily plopped on the couch.
"Oh hi, Sonic. What's up?"
"No time for talk, Eggman's in Station Square. We need you here now, little buddy."
Tails let out a sigh. "Damn him." All right, I'll be there."
"Hey Tails..."
"Yeah?"
"Bring your defuser kit." Click, dead air.
"Hello? Sonic!" Tails ran down the stairs to his lab to grab his gear.
Just recently Tails and Sonic had been making plans to create a resistance to stop Eggman once and for all. They came to call it the "Freedom Fighters"
In the lab Tails grabbed his defuser hit, a blaster and his air gear, rushing back upstairs and out the door, leaving his coke forgotten, alone on the counter.
There was a hgue crowd gathered in front of City Hall. The crowd was so thick, Tails had to dismount his gear and weave through people to see what was going on. Finally pushing his way to the front, Tails could see Eggman sitting in his hovercraft with Shadow standing at his side. In front of them was Sonic, down on his knees, facing the crowd. His hands were bound behind him and a mechanical device strapped to his chest.
A bomb.
Above them, the massive Egg Carrier loomed overhead, casting Station Square into a ominous shadow. And in the evil doctors hand was no doubtedly the detonator. There was a tap on Tails' shoulder. He tured to see-
"Knuckles!" "Hey kiddo.. This don't look good. Eggman needs a good kick in the ass for this.."
Tails nodded. "Where's the others?"
"Amy, Cream, Cosmo and Rouge all went on a trip to Emerald Coast. We're on our own here."
"At least they're safe." Tails said just as Eggman began to speak.
"Everyone! Do not fear... We are not here to harm you- As long as you all bow down and rejoice the rise of the Eggman Empire! Hahaha!" Tails made a disgusted look.
"He's so stupid. How is he not here to harm us when he's threatening to blow the city skyhigh!"Tails whispered to Knuckles.
"This is our only chance. It's now or never Tails. I'll take on Shadow. You work on getting that detonator from Egghead."
"Right."
Knuckles jumped out from the crowd and takled Shadow.
At that moment Tails stepped out and shot at Eggman, hoping he would drop the device. But Eggman, had a blaster sheild up.
"Haha! You think I'm that stupid?" Behind Eggman, Knuckles went flying into the wall. "You look pretty stupid to me, Dr. Robuttnik.." Sonic jumped in confidently. Tails took a closer look at SOnic. He was really pale. 'What could've happened?' Tails thought. At Sonic's feet was the now broken comunicator Sonic had used to contact Tails.
Shadow and Knuckles were still fighting behind Eggman and Sonic. Shadow threw a punch but Knuckles dodged it. "I learned this move from my days chasing Sonic.." Knuckles dodged another blow and leaped up to the building and wall-kicked off the brick wall and slammed Shadow with a right hook.
"You think your funny, don't you Sonic?" Eggman smiled his irony.
"Heh, not as funny as you, Humpty Dumpty."
The smile faded quickly from Eggman's face. He looked as though he might explode. A nervous laughter came from the bystanders. Seeing their hero joke was helping them relax. But this only infuriated Eggman more.
"Well then!.. You all think this is funny do you?" A broad grin spread across the doctors face with his glasses flashing. "Have a good laugh at this!" Eggman smashed the button on the detonator. Tails seen a three minute timer start on Sonic's chest.
"Shit." He glimsed Eggman dissapearing into the now panicing crowd. Sonic seemed to grow paler, Tails rushed to Sonic's side. "Hold on tight, Sonic! I'll get this turned off." The straps were steel, and under lock and key. Sonic nodded his understanding.
Meanwhile, Shadow had gotten back up and stood before Knuckles with a determined look. Knuckles rushed in for a frontal attack. Just as he was gonna connect, Shadow dissapeared. Knuckles sensed a presence behind him and turned just to have Shadow chaos control to another spot.
"Do you think you can defeat me?" Shadow's voice seemed to come from every direction. Shadow suddenly appeared directly in front of Knuckles and kicked him square in the face. Now on the ground, Knuckles looked up at Shadow, his nose was bleeding.
"Who do you think you are? Another Faker?" Shadow smirked at his own joke. "Do I look like a hedgehog? I'm an Echidna." Shadow scoffed.
"I don't even know what the hell that is." Now Knuckles smiled.
"Google it, ya Bastard." He then tackled Shadow to the ground.
One minute was left.. Now thirty seconds..
"Sonic.. I can't get this technology. It's all different. I don't understand why the defuser isn't working." Sonic seen the frightened look on Tail's face and know it was up to him to save the city...But how?
"Guess this is the end for you all!" Shadow laughed. He pushed Knuckles off him and used chaos control and he was gone.
Knuckles got up to his feet and turned to Sonic. All eyes were on Sonic.. and the timer...Ten...nine...eight.. Then Sonic knew it was the only way.
Seven..six..five... Sonic slipped his hand into his quills and grasped it...His last hope to save his friends...four..three..two..Then he shouted.
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
Instantly, the Egg Carrier above exploded in a fiery rage, raining fire and metal from the sky. Knuckles and Tails stood in shock as chaos erupted around them.
