Chapter 4
"This is it. All the tests results show this should work." Came Eggman's voice. Eggman was standing in the middle of a lab room with all kinds of super computers, lab tables, and
what-not. Eggman although still fully dressed had suction cup status monitors stuck all over his face and arms and everywhere. There were a few eggbots standing around the room as well should they be needed. Eggman picked up a vile of liquid from the table and held it up in front of his face. "This chemical mixture will release an enzyme into my body that will warp my metabolism changing every aspect of my physicical features. My data shows that this chemical should be foolproof. But do I really want to put this in my body." Eggman thought for a few minutes. In his hand he held the fruit of his labors but would this mixture really help him or might there be a slight chance he could've miss calculated. Eggman gulped. It was obvious he was very tense. He pulled the cork out of the vile and slowly brought it to his lips. He started to break out in a sweat from the all the tension. He took a breath and quickly leaned back gulping down the mixture in one gulp. "Mmm cherry flavored." Eggman stood waiting for the chemical reaction to take place bracing himself for what would come. Eggman looked up at the monitor but nothing seemed to be changing. Then all the numbers on the monitor started changing rapidly. "What's this but I fell no diff-" Eggman was cut off by sudden sharp pain in his stomach. "AUUGGHH!" Eggman collapsed to the ground his entire body felt like it was being torn apart. The Eggbots in the room started to run towards him but Eggman yelled for them to stay back. The pain was so great he thought he was going insane. Eventually Eggman passed out from the pain. He lay on his back in the middle of the room. After a few seconds it seemed like Eggman was starting to shrink. His coat was still rounded but it didn't look like there was a stomach underneath it holding it up. Then his face changed. It went from a fat chubby face to a defined pointed chinned face with a now noticeable neck. Most notably however was the orange hair that was starting to grow from his previously bald head.
The eggbots ran up to Eggman when they saw that the numbers on the monitor had
Stooped changing so quickly and one shook him to wake him up. "Wuh what. What's going on I feel different" Eggman started to get up. Two eggbots anticipated he would need help and made a grab for his arms but were surprised to see him get up with little effort especially after what he had gone through. He took his gloves off because his hands were dampened with perspiration but he noticed that his hands were no longer chubby but were bony and lean looking. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Then he noticed that his sleeves were stretching over what couldn't be his arms. He pulled his coat off and thought he most be dreaming. Were once he would have saw a huge egg-shaped gut and skinny muscleless arms he now saw a lean cut upperbody and two huge arms that only a body builder could hope for. Eggman wiped his eyes he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He felt the hair of his eyebrows up against his hands as he wiped his eyes and thought "(wait a minute I don't have eyebrows.)." not even noticing that his plus size pants had fallen of and he was only wearing a pair of underwear he pulled off the suction cups on is body and ran to the nearest bathroom. Eggman reached for the doorknob but noticed that it had only taken him a second to get to the bathroom and he hadn't broken a sweat which wouldn't be weird even for Eggman except this particular bathroom was in the next wing over from were he just was. Eggman shook this off and entered the bathroom. He walked in front of the mirror and turned around to face it. Eggman couldn't believe what he saw. Looking back at Eggman instead of the out of shape obese doctor was this lean muscular man with hair and a lot of it. Eggman was so thrilled to see he finally had the full head of hair that he had lost over the years that it took him a minute to realize the project had been a success. "Yes it worked I need to test my new abilities." Eggman left the bathroom and hailed an eggcart to come get him. He already had one foot in the cart when he thought "(wait I don't need this thing to carry me around anymore.)" Eggman told the bot driving the cart to go on. Eggman started walking down the coridor. Then he started jogging. Then he started running. "HA ha ha ha look at the doors passing by this is incredible and I don't feel a bit tired." Eggman stooped in front of a door and opened it reveiling a lab room with various equipment for monitoring health. He walked over to a treadmill and got on it. The treadmill had speed settings varying from crawling speed to mach three. He had put those faster settings on there because he knew Sonic could run that fast and he wanted a perfect treadmill. Eggman set the machine to measure the speed of the runner and starting running. Already he was going about 500 mph so he decided to see just how fast he possibly could go. 600…700… Eggman was starting to sweat now but kept going. Mach 1… mach 2…. Mach 3! Eggman hit Sonic's top speed but was still accelerating but before he could go much faster the treadmill started to shake and fall apart. Right before the machine fell apart Eggman jumped off and landed a few feet away. "I.. I can't believe it I'm faster than Sonic the hedgehog!" Eggman thought if he was faster than Sonic maybe… He walked over to a punching machine that could measure a blow from even Knuckles the echidna. Eggman pulled his fist back and threw a punch at the machine. "That's an incredible score." Eggman said. "Now this time for real." Eggman pulled his fist back and threw all the strength he could build up at the machine causing it to fall to pieces. "This is incredible I'm stronger than Knuckles the echidna." Eggman was ecstatic. Then he though there's one more thing he needs to see if he can do. He made his way to another room nearby. Inside was a chaos emerald inside a glass case. "This is the chaos emerald that I snatched after the battle with Mecha Madness the fools never realized that I had it. This is just what I need to perform the last test." Eggman picked up the glass case and took the chaos emerald in his hand. "(Now then lets see if this works)" Eggman held the emerald up and concentrated on it then he could fell the emeralds power start to flare up it was working he was going to do it. "CHAOS CONTROL!" Eggman wasn't sure if anything had happened he walked out into the corridor and saw an Eggbot in mid step frozen. He had done it he had used Chaos control to warp time. Now he had to see if he could warp himself using chaos control. The time warp had worn off and Eggman was ready to try again. This time the chaos emerald's energy started to flare up sooner. "CHAOS CONTROL!" Eggman shouted and a millisecond later he was gone. He appeared on the deck of the Eggarachnid. "Yes yes it worked I have natural abilities now no one will stand in my way." After a good evil laugh Eggman noticed he was still in his underwear after all none of his clothes were the right size anymore.
Eggman ran to the edge of the ship and jumped down to the bases floor and started running again to yet another of the many rooms. In this one oddly enough was a variety of clothes and materials and a sewing machine. Eggman went to work using his newly acquired speed to quickly fashion together a red spandex suit with a yellow R in the middle of the chest (R for Robotnik). Next Eggman went over to a closet and pulled out a hammer and various items used when making shoes. He quickly made a pair of red boots to go with his new outfit. He put on the suit and the boots and steeped out of the room. An Eggbot was walking by and Eggman stooped it. "Eggbot see what I'm wearing there are measurements in the that room go make ten more." "Yes sir." Said the Eggbot's electronic voice. Eggman ran to another close by room and went inside. The inside of this room looked like a barbershop and there was an Eggbot with scissors and what not. "Good afternoon sir here for a mustache trim as usual." "No today I have hair to be managed as you can see." "Ah yes very good sir then I take it Project Neo was a success." "Yes it was and what a success it was just get a load of this." Eggman said as he was flexing his right arm. "Yes very nice sir please have a seat I've got just the thing for all that new hair of yours." Eggman sat down in the chair. The Eggbot put a cloth around him to catch any hair that falls and started to cut the long orange locks that covered Eggman's head. About 30 min.'s later the Eggbot finished cutting and styling Eggman's hair. It was still long but slightly spiky now and was cut short around the side burns. "It is finished Robotnik sir what do you think". Eggman looked closely in the mirror. "Hmm nice job. Good work Eggbot that will be all for now." Eggman got up from the chair and left the room. "Now that I have natural abilities I need to comfort Sonic" Eggman was running to the top floor of his base but stooped about halfway there. "Wait before I go looking for Sonic I need to gather the other six Chaos Emeralds. That way Sonic won't stand a chance to even touch me." Eggman reached the top floor and got to the edge of the base. He forgot to take into account the base was in the middle of the ocean. "Ooooh of all the rotten mumble I'll need to take my Egg hovercraft to shore." Eggman pulled a remote key chain out of his pocket and pressed a button. A few seconds latter His hovercraft, the one he's often seen sitting in, showed up. "About time" Eggman said as he leapt in and started to fly towards shore. On the way there something came to his mind. "Hmm a new appearance and a lot of new abilities. I need a new name for this new body Eggman makes me sound fat like I used to be. But I'm sure Sonic will still call me that. Ah that reminds me I forgot to write a report on the success of project Neo." Then the answer to Eggman's question came to him. "That's it I know what I'll call this new form. From now on I'll be called Neo Eggman. AH HAA HA HA HA HA!" Eggman continued to laugh as his hovercar zoomed along into the distance
