Chapter 5: Eggman's Project
For the first time in 5 years, Eggman had set out to create his ultimate city, Eggmanland. His plan seemed simplistic; he would lure Sonic out of hiding by attacking Station Square then crush him like an ant beneath his boot. As Sonic watched Eggman from a nearby building, it seemed like Eggman was getting desperate.
"Oh, Sonic," Eggman chuckled. "Come out, come out, wherever you are, you little blue rat!"
"Looking for me, Egghead?" Sonic shouted.
Almost instantly, Eggman turned his machine around to attack Sonic. Unfortunately, he seemed to have disappeared.
"That's odd…" Eggman thought. "I could have sworn I-"
Suddenly, Eggman's cockpit was hit hard from behind by Sonic's Homing Attack. The impact actually knocked Eggman out of his seat.
As Sonic landed on the nearest building, he once again shouted to Eggman. "Really, Eggman? Another giant robot? You gotta do better than that!"
"Oh, there you are," Eggman said with a smirk. "I was wondering when you were going to show up."
"Funny, I was just thinking the same thing, Eggman. Where've you been for the last 5 years? You chicken out or something?"
"Hardly, Sonic. I was merely formulating a new plan. This time, however, it is you who will be defeated."
"In your dreams, Eggy! You're going-"
Suddenly, Eggman pressed a button on his console. Before Sonic could react, he was trapped inside a glass tank. Sonic tried to escape, but an electric field around the glass bounced him back.
"Now then," said Eggman with a smile. "Time for Phase 1 of Project E-2016; Clone Generation 1!"
Suddenly, Sonic's arm was jabbed with 3 syringes. As the machine drained his blood, all Sonic could do was scream in pain.
