Eggman was snoring at his seat near the master controls within his stronghold, he was dreaming of destroying Sonic and his friends and finally taking over the world, to him this was a wonderful dream one he enjoyed. Just as he was making the president dance for him, suddenly something interrupted him and he awoke with a jump along with a bump on his head for hitting the controls above him. Rubbing his head he shouted "who interrupted me, while I was working"

A robot who had interrupted Eggman's sleep looked at Eggman and said in a monotone voice "master base is under attack"

"WHAT! By whom" Eggman said

"Enemy unknown master"

"well get out there and stop who ever dares attack me" Eggman ordered to the robot "launch all defences, do whatever it takes to stop him and bring him to me so I can personally teach them a lesson"

"As you ordered master Eggman" the robot said quickly leaving the room.

After the robot left the room the entire base Eggman shook startling Eggman a bit and soon the shaking came more frequent Eggman quickly went to his screens and switched on the cameras to find the intruder. To a small shock he could only find one person in a black robe smashing though his robot servants, Eggman decided to activate all of his defences sending all robots to attack this foe.

With anger Eggman could only watch as this intruder attacked and destroyed every robot sent at him, Eggman now knew he could not risk losing anymore robots encase G.U.N attacked him in his weakened state, so decided if he could beat this new enemy perhaps he could use him to defeat Sonic, Smiling he activated his speakers throughout his base, "well done my friend, seems you are worthy of an audience with me the master of this facility"

Eggman listened to the person's response "very well, I have a proposal for you anyway"

Eggman was intrigued "very well take the elevator up to the control room", Eggman watched though the cameras as the person walked into the elevator and pressed the button, Eggman was clever he knew he could not trust him, so he decided to scan him while he was traveling up to him, and also a quick escape route, just in case he turns on him.

As the elevator doors opened the person in the black robe moved into the room, he looked around to find more robot guards and a fat person in a chair behind many controls. He walked into the centre of the room and said in a rough voice "so you're the boss here"

Eggman watched the person curiously normally people would be nervous around his robots but this person seemed to walk in without fear which made Eggman smile. "Well welcome to my home… you said you had a proposal for me"

The person looked directly at Eggman; he then removed the hood covering his face revealing to Eggman his face. Eggman was surprised to find the person in front of him was a fox with white fur. "So you're Eggman"

"Yes I am now what do you want?"

"Ever hear of the Chaos brothers"

This got Eggman's attention he had heard of this legend but never believed it, "are you one of them"

The fox smiled and said "yes, I'm the brother of strength"

"Lucifer" Eggman said shocked, Eggman quickly feeling in the first time ever in his life fear. "We looked for your prison, me and my family we looked for over century's we looked for your prison"

"Well looks like you did not LOOK HARD ENOUGH!" the fox called Lucifer Shouted making Eggman jump "but does not matter, I'm free again" he said calming down.

"How did you escape your prison?"

"I have a blue hedgehog to thank for that"

"SONIC"

"Yes but that does not matter I need to go to my old home and I need you to come with me"

"Why me" Eggman asked unsure of Lucifer's intentions

"My brother will more likely go their as well, and I need someone to get the information I seek that is still there before he finds it"

"And why do you need me" Eggman said getting off his chair

"Your family were once my greatest disciples and I can promise you many riches that my new empire will gain"

Eggman thought over Lucifer's deal "so what do I have to do in return"

"You will follow my orders to the ends of this earth without question and undying loyalty to me" Lucifer said to Eggman "I will allow you to think it over"

Eggman quickly thought over his proposal, he knew what the fox was capable of he remembered the stories his family passed on to him, but he also considered that his dream of world conquest would absolutely come true now especially with Lucifer on his side. Eggman quickly thought it over one last time, he turned towards Lucifer and said "yes very well, but I require that I have some control over this world once it is yours"

"Very well then, from now on Eggman you are now my general of my new empire" Lucifer said to Eggman "we need to go now"

"Where are we going" Eggman asked stepping towards Lucifer

"We need to get to my old home call solitude, deep within Mystic Ruins old forest"
