One chilly winter, the hammy super-villain Doctor Eggman was working in the lab within his evil lair, working the final touches on his newest creation to date.
The Christmas season had come to Bygone Island and the time of Thanksgiving was well behind everyone, the end of the year was slowly inching closer and Eggman was determined to finally achieve his evil goals.
"After weeks of working, after so much delays, so much headache and so much creation block, I CAN FINALLY UNLEASH MY LATEST WEAPON UPON SONIC AND ACHIEVE A GLORIOUS VICTORY OVER THAT BLUE MENACE!" Eggman bragged evilly, "And just in time for the season itself."
Eggman made the final tweaks and stood back, laughing maniacally as Orbot and Cubot entered the room, wearing fake red bulb noses on their faces and antlers on their heads. Eggman regarded his new robot, noticed his lackeys and stepped aside to display his creation.
"Behold, metal-nitwits, TURKEY-BOT!" He declared, "Eggsgiving is here! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
Just as the name would suggest, Eggman's new creation was shaped like a giant metal turkey and had a creepy face with red eyes, the robot stood still on its legs, silently observing its creator and his robotic lackeys.
"Doctor Eggman has gone into maximum overdrive." Orbot commented.
Cubot nodded, "Oh yeah, Eggman really means business when he means it, just like when he attacks the village only to get whooped by Sonic and his friends."
Eggman sneered at his goons as he mounted his Egg Mobile. "But this time, I am not horsing around." The doctor declared, "This time, I am going to kill that disgusting rat and I will build my EGGS-SQUISITE WONDERLAND UPON HEDGEHOG VILLAGE! Minions, LETS MOVE!"
Orbot and Cubot mounted the Egg Mobile with Eggman, who flew it into an empty hatch in the robot's head. Machinery clicked and the Mobile connected with the Egg-Turkey.
Shortly afterwards, an army of Badniks joined their master's side. Eggman piloted Turkey-Bot out of his lair with the Badniks behind him and they headed to Bygone Island, they were ready to battle Team Sonic and terrorize Hedgehog Village into submission at long last.
Hedgehog Village was looking lively at this time of year, snow was raining down and the villagers had set up decorations. A large Christmas tree had been set up in town square, decorated with flashy lights and shiny ornaments that sparkled with pristine beauty.
And right by City Hall, Mayor Fink was organizing a big Christmas rally themed around Santa Claus.
Exuberant townspeople had gathered in the vicinity, ready to see Father Christmas. Even Sonic and his friends were there, waiting patiently to meet the legend himself.
"Kinda reminds me of when Tommy Thunder was at Meh Burger for an autograph signing and to promote his newest movie 'Rise of The Thunder King.' Sonic commented, "Only this time, its about a big guy with big bushy hair on his face, doesn't that scream Eggman to ya?"
Amy looked at the blue hedgehog with dismay. "Sonic, don't be insensitive!" She said in a chiding and nearly sad voice, "You're gonna upset the little kids."
"He's just likely tryin' to warn ya that the big bushy-haired man will be attackin' the village with a gigantic turkey of doom that'll gobble up the citizens and ruin the season of giving." Sticks interjected, "The Death Turkey is comin', Thanksgiving is returning with evil vengeance."
Knuckles groaned, "Sticks, not now with your conspiracy theories..."
Just before anything else could be said from Team Sonic, a bell jingled and someone with a hearty voice let out a jolly laugh. The villagers looked up towards the steps of City Hall and clamored excitedly just as a very familiar round rat appeared, wearing a red-white suit with a hat and a fake bushy white-colored beard.
"Its him!" Tails cried, "I've been dreaming of seeing Santa Claus with my own eyes for years, I never thought it would actually happen, its Santa!"
Santa Fink held up his jingle bell and rattled it, letting the bell jingle again as the villagers chattered excitedly at the sight of him.
"Oh ho ho ho!" The Mayor exclaimed, "Happy holidays to my dearest friends, I have traveled forth to join you this fine Christmas on behalf of the ever-so kind island village Mayor Fink for all the good little children of the world."
"Santa, Santa!" Strafford the Walrus called out from the crowd, "Can you please let me have a super special Hero Walrus action figure this Christmas?"
"Oh oh oh!" Kid Monkey cried, "Do you have a baby reindeer I can adopt as a pet?"
"Now, now, one at a time." Santa Fink chuckled, "Ho ho ho, I know you're excited to see me, but there are other people here who want to spend some time with dear old Saint Nicholas on this exciting time of year when families come together to rejoice the season..."
KA-BOOM! An explosion shook the village, terrifying everyone and causing Mayor Fink to jump. Sonic and his friends wheeled around to see the giant Christmas Tree collapse in flames as an army of Badniks arrived with a humongous turkey-looking robot in the lead, piloted by...
"NOT-SO MERRY CHRISTMAS, HEDGEHOG VILLAGE!" Eggman gloated.
Sticks whipped out her boomerang. "I TOLD YA A GIANT TURKEY WAS COMIN'!" She yelled, "And yet, nobody EVER BELIEVES ME!"
"Ya got a lot of mustaches if you think ya can ruin the holiday season, Egghead!" Sonic yelled.
"Today is Eggs-giving, blue brat!" Eggman thundered, "Christmas is no more! TODAY marks the day of Eggsgiving, the day I will FINALLY DEFEAT YOU and put an end to you calling me 'Egghead'. Now its time for your ultimate doom. TURKEY-BOT! BADNIKS! ATTAAAAACK!"
The Badniks swarmed Sonic and his friends as villagers ran and Mayor Fink hid inside City Hall, knowing what to expect after the previous Eggman attacks.
The united hero team jumped into battle, trashing Badniks and hacking them to pieces. Sonic bashed a trio of Moto-Bugs and Knuckles punched down a Bee-Bot, Tails kicked a Mantis-Bot and Sticks kicked a Crab-Bot. Many more of Eggman's robots arrived on the scene, charging the heroes as explosions went off in village square.
Eggman furiously took the controls of Turkey-Bot and advanced towards the heroes, unwilling to let his Eggsgiving victory and his conquest of the island to be denied. "I've had it with my evil schemes being thwarted EVERY TIME!" The doctor shouted furiously, "GET A LOAD OF THIS!"
Machinery beeped and ports opened up in Turkey-Bot's chest, missiles fired towards Sonic and his crew, homing in on them. Amy swung her hammer and smacked one of the incoming projectiles back at the giant robot.
The missile struck Turkey-Bot in the arm and the ensuing explosion dented the robot, staggering Eggman while the robotic turkey let out a squawk.
"GO FOR THE LEGS!" Sonic yelled, activating his enter-beam.
"OH NO, YOU DON'T!" Eggman roared, "ELECTRO-FIELD, ACTIVATE!"
An energy field activated around Turkey-Bot and the mechanical beast shrieked in a menacing manner. Sonic rolled his eyes, knowing there had to be a weak spot on this creature somewhere, even if Eggman had gone into overdrive while he was creating this giant robot.
Eggman raised a giant foot over the heroes, casting a large shadow above Sonic and his friends. "PREPARE TO BE SQUASHED LIKE FURRY PANCAKES!" The scientist declared boldly.
Sonic and crew scattered as Turkey-Bot's foot came down, the heroes looked at each other and nodded. They were not going to allow themselves to be defeated by Eggman, especially on a day such as Christmas Eve.
The mad scientist was not going to triumph, nor was he going to replace a popular holiday such as Christmas with something like Eggsgiving.
With determined resolve and the spirit of Christmas on their minds, the brave heroes charged the Turkey-Bot and smacked away at it, only for the electro-shield to continue standing.
"HAPPY EGGSGIVING, PINCUSHIONS!" Eggman bellowed and pressed a red button.
The electro-field on Turkey-Bot deactivated and a hatch in its rear area opened up as boxes with Eggman's face on them dropped out onto the field, emitting ominous ticking sounds and indicating they were Egg-Bombs. Not just Egg-Bombs, Eggsgiving Bombs.
"QUICK!" Amy cried, coming up with an idea, "GET THE BOMBS!"
Following Amy's lead, Team Sonic grabbed the bombs and chucked them back at the Turkey-Bot. The heroes dived for cover and the explosives detonated seconds later, staggering Eggman's not-so intimidating mech as the turkey let out a strangled mechanical squawk.
"HIT IT!" Sonic yelled, he launched into a spin-dash at Turkey-Bot and smashed through the robotic turkey mech.
Tails tied up the legs with his ener-beam before Amy and Knuckles went for the feet, Sticks moved in and threw a boomerang hard at the Eggman robot's head. WHAM! The Turkey-Bot came crashing down, sparking and damaged, completely defeated.
Loud angry screaming was heard as Eggman exited the broken Turkey-Bot in his Egg Mobile, shaking with fury. "CURSE YOU, SONIC!" Eggman yelled furiously.
"If you want in on the holiday fun, we can always have a Christmas-Thanksgiving dinner at your lair, doc." Sonic quipped, "You do have turkey, if I'm correct."
Eggman chuckled, "Oh, you want to have an Eggsgiving dinner. That doesn't sound half-bad."
"But you have to promise not to poison the dinner or pull off anything evil during the dinner." Amy said sternly, pointing a finger in the air, "You got it, Eggman?"
"And in return, we can set up Christmas-style 'Eggsgiving' decorations." Tails suggested.
"I don't mind that idea one bit." Orbot commented.
"Yeah, an Eggsgiving dinner at the lair sounds yum-yum." Cubot said, "We can help cook the meal too and set up the decorations."
With everything agreed on, Sonic and crew helped clean up the village from the fight, accepted the villagers and Mayor Fink's thanks for saving Hedgehog Village again and then headed off to Eggman's Lair for Eggsgiving. After arrival, the heroes set to work finding the right decorations with Sonic doing the honors of collecting a Christmas Tree from a tree farm on the island.
Eggman pulled out a turkey from the fridge and Amy assisted Orbot with cooking, Tails worked on decorating the lair with Cubot and Knuckles did his part while Sticks worked cautiously. The heroes were in high spirits, even Eggman felt happy despite just being defeated again.
Before long, dinner was served and the heroes joined their arch-nemesis in the dining room for "Eggsgiving dinner", even though Sonic insisted on calling it Christmas dinner. But after a brief dispute with Eggman, they all agreed on Eggsgiving-Christmas.
And so, everyone dug into their meal, ready to enjoy a special holiday that would now be often known as Eggsgiving...
The End
