Disclaimer- Dont own Sonic, Knuckles, or Eggman. The only character thought up by me is Nik, but is that really worth mentioning? and of course the story was thought up by me also.

Eggman Finds a Friend

"Sonic!!" Tails cried, as soon as his sub was docked, "We need to save the day from Eggmans evil scheme yet again!"

"Woah woah woah little buddy, whats the prob?" Sonic replied.

"I saw Eggman he had a Chao! It looked scared!" Tails said exaggerating it a bit, in truth Nik had been happily smiling at all the underwater scenery the whole time.

"I'm sure its none of our business, but lets go stop Eggman anyways!" Sonic declared.

"Yeah! Ill go get the Bi-Plane!" Tails said hurrying off.

So with that, our 'Heroes' set off to ruin 'Eggmans evil plot'. but what about the real stars of this fic? read on!

Eggman and Nik were going slowly back to the living quarters of Eggmans base. Instead of carrying Nik, the Chao was walking along on his own. They were in no hurry so they casually ambled along. Eggman was giving a repeat tour of his base, he never got tired of describing his work, and Nik never got tired of hearing about it. They were an very unlikely couple, but as many a man has said; "never judge a book by its cover". Eventually they returned to Eggmans sleeping room. Eggman walked over to his stereo system, and started playing some quick music. Nik started dancing, and Eggman sat down on he end of his bed and laughed. He hadn't expected that to happen, but it was entertaining none the less. After the song ended he brought Nik up on his lap, and patted him on the head softly. Nik happily cooed and gurgled to himself, and Eggman closed his eyes peacefully.



"OK Tails, Im ready!" Sonic called. Tails gave him a thumbs up sign and hit the detonator. A large hole erupted through Eggmans bedroom. He jumped up quickly, but not quick enough. A speeding blue blur flew by and grabbed hold of Nik. Before Eggman could realize what was going on, his arch rival was standing in his room, holding Nik and smiling contentedly at him. Nik looked up and recognized Sonic from the TV newscast. Nik started howling and crying at the top of his little Chao lungs. Sonic jumped in surprise, but still kept a firm grip on Nik. "Sonic! You have crossed the line this time!" Eggman hollered at him.

"Me? your the one who kidnapped this poor Chao!"

"What on earth are you talking about?!"

"Exactly what I said Egghead! you are a terrible person and you lose again!"

"Kidnapped? Nik is my friend!"

Sonic and Tails looked at each other, and burst out laughing. "That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard!" Tails called out to Eggman, "Imagine it! The Eggman has a friend! Ha! not in a million years!"

A new anger had rekindled in Eggmans heart, years of torment swirled through his mind, and there in the middle of it all was Nik. Afraid, Scared, and crying loudly Nik squirmed and wiggled with all his might against Sonic's arms. Nik's eyes swelled with tears as he looked over at Eggman.

That was all Eggman could take. He was the Eggman no more, Robotnik stood before them, with a blazing fire in his eyes. A new fear of Eggman was in Sonic, he had never seen him like this before. Sonic took a step back. Robotnik dove under his bed and pulled out a small remote with a single button. "One push of this and this whole base goes up in smoke, give me Nik, now!" Robotnik said. Nik stopped crying and the room fell silent.

"Your bluffing!" Sonic said after a few moments silence.

"Do not push me hedgehog, I have had enough of you"

Sonic already had a plan, sure it may harm the chao, but if destroying Robotnik once and for all cost them a chao, then Nik was highly expendable. He started hs plan just then. He threw Nik at Robotnik, and while Eggman was distracted he ran over and stole the remote. "Quick Tails! We're outta here!" He said as he grabbed his sidekick, jumped in the plane. Tails started the engine and floored it out of Robotniks base. As soon as they were out of range Sonic pressed the button. "Sonic! what are you doing?!?" Tails cried out to late as a big mushroom cloud erupted out of the ground were Robotniks base had been, "We dont know how powerful that explosion could be!"

"Who cares," Sonic replied, "Eggman doesn't deserve to live anyways." Tails shut up and kept flying the plane, but he had a guilty conscience none the less.

For the second time in the week Eggman crawled out of a ton of rubble, Robotnik no more, just The Eggman again. He had actually fared pretty well, his bed had flipped and covered him. Nik however had flown across the room and still remained under a large pile of debris. Eggman crawled over to were he thought Nik had landed and started digging. Quickly and desperatley he ripped and pulled tangled sheets of metal off of his friend. When he had cleared it all away, he found Nik lying there, but as soon as he came over to lift him from the junk, a large gray bubble shape formed around Nik. Of course any Chao breeder knows when Chaos become encased in a gray cocoon that their life has come to an end, however untimely. Eggman didnt know this, but he knew that something wasnt right. He waited for some sort of change, but it stayed the same.

He waited there for hours, but nothing happened. Days came and went, and still it remained. Eggman never left its side. It then slowly started to disintergrate, and soon Eggman was all alone again. He stood up, and a single bead of sweat ran down his face, or was it sweat? Could it be that the cruel heartless Eggman had just cried a Tear? of course it was. To this very day it was his first and last, and the memory of Nik stayed with him to the end of his days. His vengance for Sonic Double, Tripled, Multipled by infinity and one. Eventually he stood up and looked around....he had a base to rebuild.
