Chapter 8: The 3 Sonic Destroyers
Eggman, now back at his hidden base, was busy working on his computer. By obtaining Sonic's blood, he had now mapped the hedgehog's entire genome in exactly 11 months. Separated into 3 containers, Eggman manipulated the genes in the sample ever so slightly, in order to construct clones that would do his bidding without question. He also wanted clones that could be more powerful than Sonic.
"It's been 11 months since I was defeated, but with Sonic's DNA at my control, it will be my last defeat… Computer, initiate Cloning Phase 2!"
"YES, DR. ROBOTNIK," a computer's voice stated. "INITIATING CLONING PHASE 2 NOW."
As the cloning chamber powered up, Eggman saw his clones slowly beginning to take shape. Each clone had their own capsule to grow and be aged in, in order to prevent cross-contamination. Eggman watched in awe as he the fruits of his labor come to life.
The machine stopped after a full 45-minute cycle. At that moment, Eggman opened the first capsule.
The clone in the first capsule got up very quickly from the floor and began stretching out his muscles. He was orange in color, with dark green eyes and very short spines on his head. He was also much thinner than Sonic and seemed very confident.
After he was done stretching, he finally noticed Eggman out of the corner of his eye. "So, you're our master?" he said with a confused look on his face. "I would have thought you would be taller, but who am I to complain?"
"Yes, I am indeed your master. I am Dr. Robotnik, the greatest scientific genius in the world. You are my creation, and your name shall be…Speedy."
"Speedy, huh?" he said with a smirk. "I like that name. You're not half bad; I guess I can serve you."
"Excellent! Now then," Eggman said. "Let's wake up your siblings, shall we?"
Eggman then released the locks on the second capsule. The clone, who looked very similar to Sonic, got up slowly from the ground.
This clone was red in color, with blue eyes and white tips on the ends of his spines. Other than wearing thick, oval-shaped glasses, he looked very much like Sonic in body shape.
"Greetings, Dr. Robotnik," the clone said. "My name is Blur; it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"Ho ho! I would have expected as much from a clone designed to read minds!" Eggman said with a smile. "You really do seem like my best creation, Blur. Keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, Doctor. Now then, let's see how the next clone fares."
"Yes, good idea."
With that, Eggman opened the third and final capsule. A clone came out that was much different from the rest.
This clone was a female, with blue fur, green eyes, and long, outward-curved spines. She was very well built for a female, but was also very shy and did not speak to Eggman at first.
"Well, this one's not much of a talker," Eggman said.
"It's alright, Sonette," Blur said calmly. "This man is our master, Dr. Robotnik."
Finally, Sonette spoke. "It's…n…nice to…meet you…sir."
"Alright then, everything's ready," Eggman said. "Now, my creations, your first order is this: you three are to kill Sonic the Hedgehog at all costs!"
With that order, the 3 clones set off to kill Sonic. At that moment, Sonic's fate was sealed.
