Sonic: Death Egg Encounter

(based on Sonic 2-Genesis Version)

Fanfiction by Danny Wheeler

Prolog

Sonic was relaxing in his retreat one day, when Prince Elias came to the area, and he wasn't there for a pleasant visit, unfortunately. "Sonic!" Elias cried. "Sally has been kidnapped, along with some other animals and people. Eggman is planning to build a new weapon called the Death Egg! You must stop him fast!" Sonic decided to make use of his time and, with Tails accompanying him, traveled to South Island to prepare for battle!

Chapter 1: Emerald Hill Zone

Sonic and Tails went to South Island, on a seaside area known as Emerald Hill. The Badniks that torment the people and animals there were Coconuts (monkey Badniks), Buzzers (upgraded forms of Buzzbombers), and Mashers (remakes of Chompers). Sonic spun through the Badniks and freed the animals within them. Soon, Sonic and Tails followed the Badniks to Eggman.

Eggman said, "So... once again, we meet! Well, soon, I'll find the Chaos Emeralds to fuel my Death Egg and rule Mobius forever!" At that, he got out the Drill Car and started charging at Sonic and Tails. The two jumped at the buggy until it fell apart! Eggman retreated, and Sonic and Tails freed the animal captives from the Badnik Maker. Sonic and Tails then flew to a chemical plant that Eggman built in the Mobius of the Sky.

Chapter 2: Chemical Plant Zone

Eggman built the Chemical Plant to create a substance called "Mega Muck", which can poison anything in a matter of moments. The two Badniks that guarded the place were the Grabbers, spider-like Badniks, and the Spinies, strange Badniks that crawled on the floors and walls. Sonic and Tails freed the animals from the Badnik forms and navigated through the floors of the plant.

Soon, Eggman activated a flood device that flooded the plant with Mega Muck. Sonic and Tails hurried out and prepared to fight Eggman. This time, he had a device that pumped up the liquid, made it into a gelatinous form, and dumped it onto an unsuspecting target. Sonic dodged the Mega Muck as he and Tails attacked Eggman's ship. Soon, Eggman had to retreat. Sonic freed the animals and he and Tails went into the Mobius of Darkness. They soon found themselves into some Greco-Roman ruins flooded with water of rainstorms long since passed.

Chapter 3: Aquatic Ruin Zone

As the name implied, the ruins were flooded with much water, and there were some air pockets to help Sonic and Tails whenever they were in the water. But the place was made dangerous with the traps and the Badniks. The three Badniks involved were Grounders (weaker but smarter than the prototype Grounder), Whisps (robot flies), and Chop Chops (pirahna robots that chased whatever was in their proximity). Sonic and Tails fought off the Badniks as they continued through the ruins.

Soon, an earthquake hit, and two totem poles emerged from the ground. Eggman came with a giant hammer arm on his ship. Whenever he hit one of the totem poles, one of the mouths shot an arrow. Sonic noticed that the arrows would hit the other totem pole and serve as a platform. Sonic and Tails jumped up on the arrows and used them to hit Eggman. Soon, the hammer arm broke off and Eggman retreated. Sonic and Tails freed the animal captives and went into a casino-like city.

Chapter 4: Casino Night Zone

Long ago, Sonic trashed an experimental Casino Maze Zone in the Mobius of the Sky. Now he knew what it was for-- to test out machines for the Casino Night Zone. The only Badnik type was Crawl, a crab-like Badnik with a bumper shield. The Crawl could only be hit from behind. Fortunately, the Badniks were rare, so Eggman must not have had a lot of time to change the animals and people into Badniks.

Sonic and Tails negotiated the maze and soon found Eggman in a giant pinball machine. Eggman had an electrified claw and a mine dropper on his neon-decorated ship. Sonic timed the attacks just right, as did Tails. Soon, the neon decor fell off, and Eggman opened a wall to escape. Sonic and Tails exited and freed the animals. The two then decided to return to the Mobius of the Sky for more clues to where the Chaos Emeralds were.

Chapter 5: Hill Top Zone

Back in the Mobius of the Sky, Sonic found some cliffs that, because of Eggman, were flooded with lava pools and rocked with quakes. The Badniks roaming on the land were Rexxons (Badniks that look like Loch Ness Monsters in the lava pools), Spikers (look like moving spiked conch shells; they release the shells when Sonic or Tails get too close), and Sols (upgrades of Orbinaut that throw fireballs instead of spike balls). Sonic and Tails followed the trail of Badniks as they fought them to find out where Eggman may be.

After fighting the Badniks (and freeing some animals in the process), surviving the earthquakes and lava pools, and much travel, Sonic and Tails soon located Eggman with a Magma Sub. The Magma Sub had a flamethrower cannon and energy bullet launcher. After a brief fight, Sonic and Tails freed the animals and followed Eggman's ship into the Mystic Cave, where the Emeralds would most likely be.

Chapter 6: Mystic Cave Zone and the Hidden Palace

Mystic Cave had many twists and turns, and it was a mix of organic and non-organic material. The Badnik Army consisted of Flasher (a firefly robot) and Crawlton (similar to Caterkiller, but was fixed at one spot, and can only extend to move). As Sonic and Tails freed the animals and survived the traps in the Cave, they soon homed in on Eggman, who was drilling for the Emeralds.

Sonic said, "Eggman! You won't get those Chaos Emeralds! I won't allow it!" Eggman said, "Let's see you try to stop me when I have twin drills! Ha ha ha..." Tails said, "Sonic! The drills are weapons both directly and when they make avalanches! Watch out!" Sonic nodded and timed his moves to attack. Soon, Sonic and Tails beat Eggman's Drill Pod and made him retreat. After freeing the animals from the Badnik Maker, the two found a portal to a place called the Hidden Palace.

The two soon approached an Emerald Altar. A female voice spoke, "Hedgehog and fox! Eggman plans to use the Emeralds to power his weapon, but you can use the power against him! Here, take these seven Emeralds." Sonic then received seven Chaos Emeralds: Green, Yellow, Pink, Blue, Red, White, and Cyan. Tails asked, "What about me?" The voice said, "Patience, young fox. Your time will soon come. Any rate, you two must return to the Mobius of Darkness to save your friends! Hurry!" At that, they were transported to the Mobius of Darkness, in an oil-filled ocean!

Chapter 7: Oil Ocean Zone

Eggman has been pumping so much oil, it spilled into the ocean. The animals were changed into the Badniks known as Aquis (a seahorse Badnik) and Octus (an octopus Badnik). Both types relinquished their animal cargoes when Sonic and Tails defeated them. Sonic and Tails had to, besides fight the Badniks, navigate through the trap filled oil refineries. Spike rings, green flame pistons, and oil slides made travel difficult. What made the journey easier were air cannons that shot the two around the area.

Soon, Sonic and Tails encounted Eggman in his Oil Ocean Sub. The sub would rise from the oily water to check the situation, then it would go down to launch its Scorpion Spear and deploy its Snake Laser. Sonic and Tails dodged these weapons and attacked the Sub when it surfaced. Soon, Eggman's Sub sunk, and Eggman used his ship to go back to Robotropolis. Sonic and Tails freed the animals and raced to Robotropolis.

Chapter 8: Metropolis Zone

The area Sonic and Tails entered was the Metropolis Zone, an enormous part of Robotropolis (as Robotropolis is extremely large like Mobotropolis in the Mobius of the Sky). There were three Badnik types that guarded the place. The first was the Asterons, which were starfish like homing mines (thus Eggman needed no animals for them). The second type was Shellcracker, a punching crab. The third group was that of Slicer, a mantis robot with boomerang blades. Sonic gathered up enough rings to become Super Sonic to survive the journey and defeat the Badniks, freeing the animals.

Sonic and Tails were lost at first, but soon they heard Sally's cries for help. Sonic and Tails followed them and soon, after briefly riding a moving platform, they found Eggman with his Spinning Egg Shield. Eggman said, "How do you like my latest toy?" Tails said, "It looks kinda silly!" Sonic retorted, "Silly? It's sick!" Sonic spun into the ship, but every time he did, an egg got loose and it became a balloon. Tails popped the balloons as Sonic hit the ship. Soon, Eggman had to retreat. Tails freed the animals from the Badnik Maker while Sonic untied Sally. Soon they saw Eggman take off in the Wing Fortress. Tails found a transporter and transported everyone to South Island. Once the Tornado was recovered (and Sally was returned home), Sonic and Tails chased after the Wing Fortress.

Chapter 9: Sky Chase Zone and Wing Fortress Zone

Eggman saw Sonic and Tails following him, so he sent three types of airborne Badniks to stop them: Balkiry (hawk jets), Turtloid (small turtle Badnik with a big turtle ship), and Nebula (a spine dropper). Tails flew the plane while Sonic walked on the wing. Sonic fought off the Badniks while Tails closed in on the Ship. Soon, they made it to the Wing Fortress, but Eggman shot the Tornado down. Sonic jumped onto the ship just as Tails flew back to repair the Tornado.

Only one type of Badnik guarded the Wing Fortress. That Badnik was called Clucker (a chicken robot that manned the guns). But the ship had many other weapons as well. Sonic gathered enough rings to become Super Sonic and wreaked havoc on Eggman. Once Sonic made it to the control room, Eggman trapped Sonic in a laser trap. One gun deployed three platforms that had spikes on the bottom, the other gun was a laser gun. Sonic soon deduced that the laser was the weak point, since he could not harm the mine deployer. After a few hits, the system of the Wing Fortress shorted out. Sonic made it out just before the Super Sonic power wore off. Tails flew up with the repaired Tornado and got Sonic close enough to cling on to Eggman's jet. Sonic then entered the Death Egg and was prepared for the final battle!

Chapter 10: Death Egg Zone

Inside the prototype Death Egg, Sonic went through the halls and encountered the rebuilt Silver Sonic (he last defeated Silver Sonic in the Scrambled Egg Zone on his quest to rescue Tails). Silver Sonic now had a few new tricks up his sleeve. Sonic had to time his attacks when Silver Sonic was not in ball form. Soon, Silver Sonic was defeated once again, and Sonic chased Eggman to his Eggsterminator Suit! His suit could stomp, has spiked fists, and had jets to do bigger stomps.

Sonic had to time the attacks just right to hit Eggman when his fists would not hit Sonic. Soon, after a tough battle, Eggman's robot suit exploded. The Death Egg was about to self destruct! Sonic raced out as the Death Egg exploded!

Epilog

Sally saw the explosion and told Tails to hurry and catch Sonic. But when Tails flew up to catch him, Sonic had gathered some rings on the way out and became Super Sonic! Super Sonic flew about and impressed the people as he flew with Tails. The two decided to see to it that Eggman had been defeated, so they went out to explore the Mobius of the Sky!
