Eamon approached the terrifying Bowser's Castle. It appeared that Spinner had already made it inside as the bridge had been lowered. As Eamon crossed over the bridge he could see Bowser burning in the lava moat below. When Eamon made it inside he could see how Robotnik had already begun to take over the place. All of Bowser's troops had been robotisized into evil koopa and goomba robots as well as the usual badniks. Eamon had no problem mercilessly destroying all of them and moving on throughout the castle. In no time Eamon made it to a large room, the foe lied just ahead. However, what was impeding his progress was a giant pool of lava. To the naked eye it seemed impossible to conquer, Eamon may have to give up on his epic quest. But Eamon was no ordinary mortal, for he saw something no one else would... A rope dangling from the ceiling, which Eamon skillfully swung from to reach the other side. Eamon had made it, and walked up the stairs towards the next devilish room.
Upon reaching the next room, Eamon made a shocking revelation that would change his life forever. He found deformed versions of... himself!? Blonde hair, blue eyes, they looked exactly like him but different somehow. Was Eggman trying to clone Eamon to use the MEGA emeralds on? Eamon had no time to question what was going on, and dispatched of the mutant clones in no time. After defeating them he heard a weak cry for help from the corner. "Help me Eamon!" exclaimed a defeated Spinner. Eamon was extremely jealous that Spinner was in the corner and not himself. Regardless Eamon walked over to the cage that Spinner was being held in "Spinner, what are you doing here? I thought I told you not to go without me." Spinner responded to Eamon's scolding "I'm sorry Eamon, I just thought you were dead like Sonic. I had to get my revenge, with or without you." Eamon understood where Spinner was coming from " I understand, but it's dangerous to go alone, especially in a place like this. You should be lucky you are not dead." Spinner was quick to change the subject, embarrassed by his failure "Could you please get the key in that cupboard and get me out of here. Robotnik locked me in here like some kind of animal." Eamon responded saying "But you are an animal" before getting the key and unlocking Spinner from his cage. Soon they were off and went into the room where Eggman was waiting for them...
They entered the room, Robotnik stood menacingly and actually looked kind of intimidating for once in his life. "Welcome fools, I hate to gloat but it looks like you are rather deficient in the MEGA emerald department" said Eggman holding all 7 of the MEGA emeralds that he stole from Spinner. But Spinner was quick to run forward and steal them all back. Robotnik stomped his feet in frustration "Blast it you infernal Hedgehog, I can see where Sonic got his wretched attitude from. No matter, for I have a backup in plan." Eggman then pressed a shiny red button and up from the floor came a robotisized Tails with Sonics encapsulated body right beside. "I didn't have time to finish Sonic's suit, but this Tails robot will crush you to dust anyhow!" The Tails robot dashed forwards and separated the two before Spinner could give Eamon the emeralds. Eamon shouted at Spinner "Get those emeralds away from Robotnik and Metal Tails at all costs, I'll take on Metal Tails!" Spinner understood and used his super speed to evade any danger. Eamon punched Metal Tails in the face but it didn't do anything because he was made of metal and that didn't affect him, physically or emotionally. Instead Metal Tails punched Eamon back and it really hurt him bad but Eamon was super strong so he could take it just fine. This continued on for a while before Eamon thought to himself "This isn't going anywhere, I need to do something to stop Metal Tails for good!" So Eamon jumped up into the air and landed right on top of Metal Tails and began pulling on his head. Because Eamon was super strong he managed to rip off Metal Tails' head clean off. Eggman fell onto the floor, weeping pathetically like he usually does "It's just not fair!" he said as he continued to sob. After the dust cleared Eamon was able to find Spinner standing over the capsule holding Sonic's dead body. Eamon hated to interrupt Spinner, but he needed the MEGA emeralds in order to save the world. Eamon put his hand on Spinner's shoulder and said "Spinner, can I have the emeralds." Spinner turned to Eamon and scowled, his only response was "no" before kicking Eamon away against the wall.
Eamon was shocked as Spinner opened up the capsule that held Sonic. The MEGA emeralds began to spin around Sonic and soon it looked as if he was brought back to life! Eamon ran towards the newly revitalized Sonic, ready to give him a big hug, but this Sonic was not the one that Eamon knew. This Sonic's fur was a darker shade of blue and had an evil grin on his face and pushed Eamon onto the ground. Spinner then spoke "Sorry, but this Sonic is under my control, and we're going to take over the world!" Eamon couldn't believe that he had been betrayed by his friend and could only ask "Why?" Spinner explained his motives "When my Son died at the hands of Robotnik due to the resistance's recklessness, I realized that neither were fit to rule this world. Only I can make this world righteous and just. First of all, I need to take care of this man here. Sonic, take care of him!" After saying this, Sonic walked over to Eggman, who was pleading and crying as usual, and punched him clean through his stomach, killing him. After throwing Robotnik's dead body out the window, Eamon came over, trying to stop Sonic from his deadly rampage. Spinner shook his head "I was going to let you live, as thanks for helping me get here, but if you are going to try to stop me I guess I have no choice. Sonic, kill him!" Eamon and Sonic began to fight, but it was apparent that Sonic had the upper hand and was far more powerful than Eamon. Eamon was immediately cornered (not like Eamon minded) by Sonic, who was just about to kill him. Spinner laughed and said "You see now that you have no power of me or Sonic, just give up now!" Eamon thought it was the end, but he came to a stunning realization. "No, Spinner, there is one thing that you can never beat, the power of love!" Eamon said and made eye contact with Sonic "Sonic... I love you" Then Eamon came forward and kissed Sonic on the lips. It was then that something strange happened, Sonic began to turn back to normal, no longer under the control of Spinner. Sonic slowly began to open his eyes "W-what, where am I? Eamon, is that you?" Eamon was overjoyed to see his friend back to life and back to normal. Spinner, however was not so thrilled "NO! How could this be! That's impossible! My plan's for world domination ruined!" Eamon then leapt over to teach Spinner a lesson, but was stopped by Sonic. "No Eamon, he may be evil, but he's still my dad!" Eamon held back and looked at the poor, sobbing Spinner. "Spinner," Eamon said "look, you don't need to rule the world anymore, you have your son back, Eggman and Bowser are defeated, things can be good again." Spinner got up and smiled at Eamon and his son "I suppose you're right... If you can forgive me, perhaps we can make things good again." Both Eamon and Sonic smiled in acceptance. But their happiness was short lived as a bolt of dark energy came in through the window and hit Spinner, the Mysterious Figure hovered overhead. Sonic ran over to Spinner who was now on the ground. Sonic began weeping "He's dead! You killed him!" Eamon was shocked and Sonic stood up, both of them confronted the Mysterious Figure. Sonic pointed at the Mysterious Figure and shouted "YOU! You're a monster!" The Mysterious Figure just shrugged and said "But I'm just humble old me!"
