Chapter II: A Knock At The Door
Meanwhile, in Eggman HQ, the usually-mad doctor decided to take a break from his evil scheming, and sit back and watch with his Chao-sized robot, Bokkun, as the world finally made peace with itself, forever sealing itself off from the Black Arms, the Prototype Shadow, and Metal Sonic, or, as he wished to call himself, the 'Metal Overlord'. Eggman was finally enjoying his commitment to the world, rather than its rule, when…
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Eggman jumped out of his seat to find that something had latched itself onto the very bottom of his battleship, and was tearing the steel away with minimal effort. A small, metallic-blue color, somewhat in the shape of a hedgehog, found its way in through the lower breaches of his vessel. Eggman, at first, thought nothing of it, and figured that Sonic decided to come up to congratulate him on fusing the planet, rather than harass him about his usual daily plans of world dominance. However, it seemed as though this breach was not as inviting as first thought…..
"Doctor!! There's a hedgehog-looking guy here to see you, and he looks angry!" said a confused and apparently frightened Bokkun, as a sweat drop descended from the back of his head. To Eggman, who usually thought nothing of Sonic's intrusions, decided to report to his own Egg Gallery, where his latest schemes were held, as well as his Prototype Chaos Generator. He recollects, as well, that the four Chaos Emeralds he had collected over the year were also in the gallery.
Eggman rushed into the Gallery, only to find Bokkun in literal pieces, and this Blue hedgehog not to be everyone's (except Eggman's) favorite hero, but another hedgehog, one whose eyes shone with the brilliance of true evil and manslaughter. Nazo, the first true evil to have ever caused Sonic any trouble beyond his own abilities, save for Prototype Shadow. To a degree, this had frightened the mad doctor, but not so much as to run away at the first sign of trouble, as is his usual routine. In fact, he was more intrigued than scared…
"I come looking for the Chaos Emeralds. Where are you hiding them, you egg-shaped imbecile?" barked Nazo, with the evil in his eyes growing even more intense. "I need those emeralds to exact my revenge on that pitiful excuse of a hedgehog, Sonic, and that wannabe 'Ultimate Life Form', Shadow."
"FOOL! I would never tell an abomination such as your self where the world's most powerful gems are kept! BEGONE!" shot the Doctor right back. At this, Nazo had backed up, for he saw the determination burning in Eggman's eyes. Maybe this new-found determination was because of his great deed to the new world. Nazo stood there, confused, but not out of his element. He had placed his hands in front of Eggman's face, and small spheres of energy began to form.
"Tell me where they are, or so help you and your meaningless existence…" said Nazo in an angry tone. He had obviously meant business. However, the Doctor did not back down. He stood as tall as ever (given his massive size and stubby legs), and snapped his fingers, a grin stretching across his face. In an instant, five Shadow Androids and five Sonic Androids were at the ready to protect their master. Nazo now seemed out of his element, for his weakened state no longer had the ability to discern who (or what, in his god-complex self's case) was the real Shadow or Sonic. This made him furious, and His color changed from a metallic-blue to an array of burning colors, ranging from bright orange to crimson.
Just then, a hatch had opened right beneath their feet, and both the Sonic and Shadow Androids, along with Nazo, himself, fell swiftly through the air. Robotnik watched and laughed as both android and God hedgehog plummeted towards the planet, as he stood on the only piece of floating platform (insert Sonic Genesis joke, here).
Sonic had just found the perfect place to train with Knuckles, given that they wanted to find out if they could transform into their Super Forms without all of the emeralds, when all of a sudden, across the mountain ranges of Angel Island, a sound could be heard striking Sandopolis. This place was known to have relics of Eggman's deadliest robots, so hoping that it would not be a person in distress, Sonic, and a very reluctant Knuckles, decided to go check it out.
