Chapter 10: A Rotten Egg Gets Even More Spoiled

Back in the mysterious dark area, the evil being was witnessing our blue hedgehog hero defeating more and more of its minions through some sort of viewing portal. It clenched its fist in anger. This hedgehog had been an annoyance for long enough.

It summoned several more Primids as the green creatures brought in the Dr. Eggman trophy. Soon the mysterious black ooze-like creatures attached themselves to the trophy, engulfing it and soon after, the villain motioned its arm and caused the trophy and the creatures to disappear.

Immediately after it sent the trophy away, the area began to shake with the sound of muffled explosions. The evil being looked towards another viewing portal and saw several heroes in different starships attempting to enter through the large portal hovering in the sky. It seems that it would have to deal with these pests...personally...

Meanwhile, deep in the desert, that same blue hedgehog was finishing off another group of Primids, Towtows, Roaders, Bombeds, and R.O.B.s as he whizzed by getting closer to his destination. At this rate, it seemed like nothing was going to stop Sonic now, but then again, hasn't that always been the case?

After Sonic eliminated another Primid armed with a laser gun with a unique spinning headbutt, he took a glance over at the path ahead of him.

Crossing his arms, he saw it. The dimensional portal leading to Subspace. It was still a long way to go but, even in the far distance, Sonic could see the dark speck in the clear blue sky. He knew he was moments away from his epic confrontation with whatever is responsible for this carnage.

With that, Sonic uncrossed his arms and started to continue only to be stopped by a large object slamming into the ground in front of him.

Sonic shielded his eyes to keep dust and dirt from flying into his field of vision. Once the dust had settled, Sonic got a good look at what was blocking his path. It was a 36-foot tall, robotic replica of his nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Decorated with rockets on the back, armed with what looked like laser-guided missile launchers on its fingertips, and probably chocked full of whatever surprises this mysterious Eggbot came with, it towered over the blue hedgehog, almost blocking out the sun itself. The interesting thing about the robot was that it shined with a dark grey aura of some kind.

"Well, I don't think I'll need 20 questions to guess who this is..." Sonic said sarcastically as he heard the booming echo of a very familiar and annoying evil laugh.

"Hmm..." The blue hedgehog pondered as he looked up at the gargantuan battle robot, "Let's see... A wicked nasty clone of Egghead, that made a gynormous sized robot, decorated with all kinds of weapons... Hmm... should probably take me... about what?... 5... 4 minutes?... 3, if I'm lucky..."

As soon as Sonic finished his statement, the Eggbot launched several rockets from its back as they made their way toward the blue hedgehog. Sonic, almost at the last second, began to run away from the incoming rocket blasts.

Each one of the rockets exploded close to Sonic as he continued to run, not letting the loud explosive blasts bother him a bit. Then the Eggbot opened it metallic chest as it revealed black spiked bombs with Eggman's mug on them. Soon after, bomb after bomb was fired, one after another, landing practically everywhere in the area Sonic was running.

However, the hedgehog proved why he was 8, 425, 137, 360, 569 - 0 in the battles with Eggman as he made a U-turn, running back towards Eggman's mech as he easily dodged the bomb fire with ease.

At that point, missiles started to pop out of the Eggbot's fingertips and soon after, were fired toward the blue speed demon. This would be challenging for the hedgehog, as these missiles were made to be speed tracking missiles; specifically designed against Sonic's natural speediness.

But, just like every other battle he's ever been in, Sonic didn't sweat this one. As soon as the missiles were fired, they soon were behind the blue blur. Sonic simply chuckled as he ran even faster away from the missiles, toward the Eggbot, and started to run between its legs round and round and round in a figure-8 motion.

Somehow, though, the missiles were able to follow him in the same figure-8 motion. As Sonic continued to go around the robot's legs with such speed, it could make someone describing it get dizzy... whoa... Sonic ended up stopping in the middle of its legs and ducking. And in an instant, each and every one of the missiles ended up nailing both of the Eggbot's legs causing the machine to fall.

Sonic soon ran away from the robot as soon as it was beginning to tumble, but immediately turned back around, reached in his backpack and pulled out the light blue Chaos Emerald, while he was still running full speed towards the collapsed Eggbot.

The power of the Chaos Emerald once again surged through him as the fastest thing alive plowed through the Eggbot with a super-powered spinning attack. He then landed on the other side of the mech and then made another U-turn and went up behind the robot and delivered and high powered spinning attack. Once again, Sonic ran around the robot and delivered one more powerful spinning attack from the side of the battered and beat-up Eggbot.

As soon as Sonic stopped, the Eggbot started to crackle with electricity. Small explosions began to engulf the machine until it was completely destroyed by one big explosion.

As Sonic put the Chaos Emerald back in his backpack and looked on as the explosion faded and the dust settled, he chuckled and said, "Ha! 2 minutes! I'm gettin' better at this..."

Sonic soon walked through the wreckage of the metallic monstrosity and saw the Eggman statue. "Heh, I guess their Eggman never installed an ejector seat in this robot..." Sonic commented as the statue started to melt into the black ooze and disintegrate.

"Well then," The blue hedgehog said, "Where was I..." He took another look at the dark speck which seemed to get larger. "Oh, yeah..." Sonic said as he zoomed off towards the Subspace portal.

At this point, nothing was going to stop Sonic the Hedgehog now...

Not that anything could, anyway...
