Chp. 3: Eggman's Role

2 days ago Eggman's Apartment
Eggman couldn't believe it. He pressed the rewind button on his remote controller. As the tape began to return to the beginning, he went over his recent loses in his head. First, Metal Sonic had betrayed him by locking him in a cell on the Egg Fortress. Then, he used part of the Robotnik family fortune to build an armada of useless ships that were destroyed anyway. Super Sonic ended up defeating Metal Overlord. After that, he had found the Gizoid, the last part of his grandfather's creations. He had eventually gotten it back from the hedgehog rival of his, but he was destroyed, along with the Death Egg. By then, the family fortune had been used up. He was about to give up all aspirations of villainy, when the tape had arrived for him. He heard the tape finish rewinding and pressed play.
His grandfather appeared on the screen. "Hello grandson, I am your grandfather, Dr. Gerald Robotnik. I am sending this message with the camera equipment I stole from GUN. I heard that you have been disowned by my son and before GUN opened my eyes to the true evils of this world, I would have agreed. After all of the tortures I have endured, I wish to help you. Twenty years ago, before completing Project: Shadow, I created Project: Endigo. He was made to make sure the other experiments followed their original programming. To reactivate this destructive force, go to the Space Colony ARK, sector 35-B and use computer 4-QRD. Once there, input the password Chaos Reverse. Also, take a Chaos Emerald. Good luck, grandson." But Eggman was already gone.

The small craft completed its docking sequence and Eggman jumped out. Chills ran down his spine seeing the ARK again. This was the same room where he had lost to Tails. He shook of the memories of that battle and walked up to the computer.
He was about to begin, when he heard the rockets on his ship fire up. He turned around and saw a blue fox sitting in the cockpit. He ran towards the spacecraft, but tripped over the remains of the Egg Walker. Eggman looked on helplessly as the ship flew off.
"Was that Endigo?"

Shadow began his explanation. "It started over 60 years ago, before Dr. Gerald had finished working on me. He created an entity with supreme power and the purpose to…"
"To destroy." Knuckles interrupted.
"No, to keep peace on Earth and stop all of those who try and control it all." Shadow replied.
"Then why was he attacking you?" Sonic asked, stepping up to his dark counterpart. "I mean, your not the nicest guy I know, but you've started to help protect the world. You haven't done anything destructive since the ARK incident. And that was two years ago."
"That's what I can't understand." Shadow went back to the computer to find Tails in his seat. "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to find out about Endigo by hacking into the ARK's database. If I can, I might be able to…huh?"
"What is it, Tails?" Amy inquired, having finished drying off.
"Somebody has already activated these files and I'll give you three guesses who."
"Let me guess." Sonic started "Was it Eggman, Eggman, and Eggman?"
"Yeah and… oh no! He deleted all the data on Endigo!"
Now what do we do?" Rouge fumed.
"How does death sound?" a voice from outside the building said. Suddenly, the roof was ripped of by a robotic figure. As it jumped down, it became clear that it was a Chaos Gamma and on his shoulder sat Endigo.

Espio awoke with a jolt. His hand was at his neck and he was in a cold sweat. As he got up, he tried to recall the dream, but was unsuccessful. He slipped into his shoes and his tattered vest. The purple ninja saw his friends sleeping peacefully. He went into the hallway, heading for the bathroom, when he heard a crash downstairs. "Ninja Leaf Swirl." he whispered, disappearing. He slowly made his way down the musky hallway. Once he reached the stairs, he looked around the corner and saw the culprit.
He was wearing the latest in battle armor. Dark goggles covered his face and a helmet concealed his hair. His dark green jacket was covered in explosives, which he was carefully placing on the wall. The newly titled bomber wore a pair of baggy, purple pants and his black sneakers had a pair of rockets on each shoe.
"Who do you think he is." a strong voice asked. Espio turned on his heels, pulling out a shuriken. "It's just us, buddy." the chameleon realized it was just his partners. Feeling a wave of relief come over himself, he put the throwing knife back into his pocket.
"I don't know, but he seems to have a score to settle with us."
"Could Eggman have a new assassin ?" Charmy inquired, yawning. It was late and they were all tired.
You boys haven't changed a bit." the armored crook threw a mini-bomb at the trio. Before they could react, they were blown of the second floor and caught in a large net. "Long time, no see." he said, a smirk on his face.
