9: The Truth and Nothing Else
Sonic's POV
I couldn't believe that he actually did that. I mean, I didn't like that guy either, but not enough to totally kill him. To see Eggman simply give the word to take the life of another is...I cannot describe. The massive explosions that raged in the air brought forth bright light that flashed over the entire city. Debris rained down and crashed into the city streets, nearly hitting innocent by-standers. The main enemy ship was nowhere to be found, only the main cabin remained, which fell to the ground. When Shadow and I inspected the wreckage, Catastroph's body was simply burnt to a crisp. I couldn't believe that this happened, yet the evidence is played out before me. When we walked out, Eggman simply stood there. What ticked me off was the satisfied expression on his face, yet he said absolutely nothing for quite some time.
"Eggman...was that...was that really necessary?" I ask him, the chaotic energy still on my body. "Yes, there cannot be a new world without sacrifice, Sonic and Shadow." he says. "New world?...What are you talking about?" "Simple. This is a terribly flawed system we are in. Life and death are the playing factors for us all. Death is Life and Life is Death, you cannot have one without the other. I seek to challenge that." Eggman says. "Challenge life and death? Bullshit." Shadow states, something that I agree to. "Do you really believe that? You, who defied death multiple times? And you, Sonic...you, who hasn't had the slightest notion about what is life and what is death?" he looks at me intently after that comment. "Well...but...I never..." "Exactly. Many are like you, unable to deal with reality. My sole reason for becoming president was to make something of myself, to give back to others...now I know what I should really try to do. I need to give my people what they really desire...everlasting happiness."
In one way, what he says sounds like a pure-hearted idea. On the other hand, it sounds absolutely insane. "Eggman, what exactly do you mean?" I ask him. "They're tired, Sonic. Tired of living a life where bad things take their toll. Tired of watching their loved ones pass on without reason. Tired of living a life where they do nothing except stare at others who are more prosperous. I seek to relieve that pain, that envy, that sadness..." "You can't. Even if you believe that you can, you cannot take away that aspect of life." Shadow says. "Allow me to show you how." Eggman says, walking back to the Egg Carrier Giga. The bottom opens up and a series of steel and glass structures drop down. They connect to each other, forming a tall, tall tower with a long spiralling staircase around the structure. "I present to you...my greatest accomplishment...the Gate to Infinity." he says, the tower starting to glow after that statement.
Shadow's POV
If I were to gauge Eggman's ambitious project right now, I'd say this would be his most insane. The tower is extremely huge, to the point of nearly teetering over. The staircase is a long, long walk, long enough to take maybe an hour for Sonic and I to scale at even our fastest speed. "Eggman, this is insane. What is this supposed to do?" I ask him. "It shall relieve us of life and death, it shall make my people happy forever." Eggman says. "But this won't do a damn thing! People can be happy regardless of what sadness occurs in their lives!" Sonic says. "With my latest accomplishment, they will no longer need to. Think of it, Utopia will finally be reached." Eggman continues, obviously unaffected by either of our words. "Eggman...after all this time...after all that you've done...and now this...you've lost it. You've totally lost it." I tell him straight up. "Lost it? No, Shadow, I have gained what I thought was impossible for me...the compassion for the impossible." he tells us.
"Eggman...you can't be serious...please, just drop this and be who you're supposed to be, a leading individual. If you go any further without thinking straight, there won't be any turning back!" Sonic says. I'm amazed that he still believes that there is some shred of good intent left in the man. To me, Eggman has gone over the edge with this "unlimited happiness" joke of his, a joke that only he can find funny. I can tell he finds this shit funny by the look on his face, a look that shows someone feeling pretty damn good about himself. "I know well enough about that...I know all too well about not being able to retake a path...this is the ultimate path for me...the path that will give me the one thing that I want in this world. My Utopia...My world...it will become a reality." he tells us. Knuckles would probably rub this in Sonic's face for a while if he found out that Eggman had us fooled the whole time, but I think that something else concerned Sonic at the moment.
"I understand that neither of you understand why I am doing this. I didn't expect you to understand...but it needs to be done. If you cannot support my decision, then step aside." he orders us. Neither Sonic nor I take orders, especially from Eggman, so we stand firm. "I said, stand aside." he repeats, but we stand undeterred. "We're not moving, Eggman. This can't happen. Despite what you think, people need sadness in their lives. It may hurt, but it's a necessary pain. Think about it." Sonic says. "Starting energy upload for Gate to Infinity." Eggman says, typing on a terminal until the tower starts glowing again. "Wha...What happening?!" Sonic yells out. "He's started the machine!" I yell out, looking at the tower growing taller and taller. "Infinity has begun. Nothing will stop our Utopia from coming to fruitation. Sonic! Shadow! It's not too late! You can still be a part of our Utopia!" Eggman says madly. "Eggman...I had really believed that you possessed the ability to be a good president...but now I see it was just a stepping stone for your true motives! Utopia!? For who, exactly!?" Sonic yells. "For you all! For the people that desire a better way of life!" "This isn't what they had in mind! They just can't cope with reality!" "With what I have, they won't need to. You just don't understand..."
I'm about ready to just break the damn thing at this point, but I still wanted to get my two cents in beforehand. "Eggman, while you may have good intentions at heart, you'll do nothing but spoil people to the point where they will not be able to accept reality at all. If you have any amount of scientific knowledge within you, you'll stop this now." I tell him. "My research has been spent into this masterpiece. This is the tip of my scientific knowledge." he responds. "Fine. Shadow, we're gonna take this down!" Sonic says, jetting up to the top of the tower. We're both on our way up to the top until a massive shock sends us right back down. "Damn...that hurt? How in the hell...?" I ask, looking over to Eggman, who is holding a small button. "You really think that I wouldn't know how to stop you two in your Super states?" Eggman says like a jerk. "Asshole. You lying jerk!" Sonic yells, dashing at Eggman as I dash towards the tower. While he takes the opportunity to beat Eggman up, I take the opportunity to get ready for his assistance. Sonic dashes back to me and we start hitting the tower enough to get out some rage.
Finally, the both of us get ready to thrust through the goddamn thing when something distracts Sonic. Turns out Amy, Tails, Cosmo, Cream and Cheese showed up on the scene as we were busy taking care of business. Eggman took the opportunity to pull a weapon out of his jacket, which is typical with Eggman. "Make a move, hedgehogs, and I'll fire this Wave Laser. Trust me, it never misses." he says with confidence. Sonic turns around and sees this, clenching his fists in rage. "You son-of-a..." Sonic says, dashing straight down at Eggman and punching him in the face. What ensues is a classic brawl with Sonic and Eggman exchanging fists and feet, punches landing repeatedly. The thing is, Eggman is punching someone that can only die or get hurt when they drown, fall in an endless void or get crushed. As a result, Sonic was taking each blow like he was getting hit by a pillow, whereas Eggman wasn't doing so good.
"Sonic, stop it!" Amy yells out, watching the gold hedgehog beat Eggman like a dummy. "He's a liar! A lying son-of-a-bitch!" Sonic yells back, punching Eggman all the way towards the tower we were originally trying to destroy. "Sonic, that's enough! You don't need to keep it up! He's nearing unconsciousness!" Amy keeps yelling out, watching in horror as Eggman pulls out his laser thing and fires it. Strange enough, it hits Sonic and sends him right into the tower, making my job easier. Just as Sonic is about to hit the tower, I get ready to smash my fist into it. When he crashes, I hit it, the tower splitting in half like an apple. "What...? No...MY UTOPIA!" Eggman yells out, shooting all over the place at this point. Sonic appears in front of him and lands one last, great hit across his face with his foot. Eggman goes down hard, slamming to the ground with white in his eyes.
Amy's POV
Sonic had completely beaten Eggman, to the point where he was totally out. His eyes are white, his mouth is wide open and he's clutching his belly. "Oh my god...Sonic...why did you..." I ask him. Sonic simply looks at the unconscious body before him, no movement at all. "He...he needed it...he was asking for it...he'd been waiting for a long time for me to finally whip his ass...and he got it. After putting up a front like that, an ass-whipping is what he needed..." Sonic says, the chaotic energy now fading. Eggman slowly gets up, but Sonic lands another blow to his face, getting ready to hit him again, but I stop him. "That's enough...Sonic, that's enough..." I tell him, holding the arm ready to hit Eggman. "No...don't stop him...I deserve it...I had a relapse...that beating he gave me turned out to be helpful..." Eggman says, slowly getting up and rubbing his cheek. "Shut it! Stop selling me this bullshit!" Sonic yells out without looking at Eggman.
There's really no talking to Sonic when he is angry, especially like this. He had every right to be angry, considering that he really believed that Eggman had changed. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Eggman we know. The Eggman who fools people, who lies and cheats, who tries to take away what makes us who we are! This is the true Eggman!" Sonic says, unable to contain it anymore. "It wasn't my intent for things to be this way. I promise you that. I still seek to serve my people..." "Maybe so, but I can't even look at you without getting angry! I just...I just need to cool off...and you need to understand what it takes to be somebody in this world." Sonic says, sitting down to cool off. I sit next to him as the others walk off, leaving just the two of us.
"Sonic, I know how you feel..." I tell him. "It's just that...I really had faith in him...I don't know why, really...since I know Eggman better than that." he says, now calm. "It's a horrible feeling when people lie. I know it must have been..." "It's all right now, though...at least I beat the sense back into him." "Yeah. Come on, let's go home now." After that, he picks me up and dashes back to my apartment, sitting down and looking out the window. It only takes a few seconds for the Sonic smile I love to return to his face. "Yeah, I'm all right now. Eggman had a relapse...at least, I hope that was it." he says before following me upstairs. I hate people who lie, it just sickens me. Which is why I'm glad that Sonic isn't a liar at all, making him even more perfect for me. With that issue taken care of, I could only hope that we would be able to have good times now.
-Unforutunately no, as will be shown in the next chapter when a new situation threatens to split the couple apart.
