Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius
6th Saga: The Mucho Grande Egg-cellent Saga

Episode 125

Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
After seeing Eggman reveal his new Death Egg, Sonic and Tails flew after it, only to be ambushed by Eggman's robots! While Sonic managed to chase Eggman into the Death Egg, Tails was shot down, making Sonic find Eggman in his new Egg Beater battle suit!
Not only that, but Eggman revealed that HE was the one Overlander who saved the Mobians back in the Great War! That's right, Julian Kintobor is the Eggman! Although nowadays, he prefers the name "Doctor Ivo Robotnik." This information filled Sonic with fear, confusion and rage... and that was what he felt when he fought the Egg Beater. Despite his best efforts, Sonic was severely beaten by Eggman... the insane scientist even went so far as to shoot Sonic with his laser, that sent him plummeting back down to Mobius!
Now that Sonic has indeed failed to stop Eggman, does this mean the end for Mobius? Is there no one who can do something to save the planet from being Roboticized?! Find out as Chaos on Mobius continues!

Chapter Seven: The Shame of the Blue Blur

As Sonic fell from the Death Egg covered in bruises and burns, he was filled with guilt, shame, and fear...
"(I guess this is it. I failed.)" He thought as he looked up at the Death Egg. "(Knowing Eggman, he'll probably Roboticize Mobius before I even hit the ground...)" After finishing that horrifying thought, Sonic rolled around to see Mobius getting larger as he fell further down towards it. "(Guys... I'm sorry I couldn't stop him... and Sally... I wish we had more time together...)" Sonic stopped thinking once flames appeared right in front of his chest, that were hurting him as he fell closer-and-closer towards the planet below him...

Meanwhile, Robotnik jumped out of the Egg Beater's cockpit, and started dancing for joy.
"I DID IT! I DID IT! I FINALLY BEAT SONIC!" He screamed as he was cackling and bouncing around where he fought the hedgehog, before getting serious, and approaching a console near the Roboticizer, which had a monitor and a microphone attached. "And at last, there is NO ONE who can stop me from achieving my goal of worldwide Roboticization!" After pressing a button that activated the monitor and microphone, Eggman was seen on screens all over Mobius, clearing his throat. "Hello again, citizens of Mobius. I actually have two more announcements along with my Death Egg reveal..." Mobians and Overlanders were either scared and/or angry as they listened to what Eggman had to say... "First of all, I am happy to announce that I -Doctor Ivo Robotnik- have successfully managed to defeat the great Sonic the Hedgehog in battle!" Many Mobians -and some Overlanders- were horrified at what they had just heard. Especially the Freedom Fighters... "In fact, that disgusting little rodent is probably burning up in the planet's atmosphere as I speak."
"Sonic... no..." Sally softly said as her eyes had gotten watery.
"However, you won't have to feel sympathy for him much longer..." Robotnik pointed out. "For my second announcement, I'd like to point out that my Death Egg contains billions-upon-billions of Chaos Drives. And each one is now charging up my new Roboticizer, which will be able to reduce every last one of you into my robot slaves!" This was when Orbot inturrupted Robotnik's speech.
"Uhh, Boss?" He nervously asked. "There is a problem with the Roboti-"
"Not now, Orbot!" Eggman shouted, before turning his attention back to his audience. "Say goodbye to your free will, Mobius! HAAA HAHAHA!"
"But Boss-"
"FIRE!" After Eggman slammed his finger on the 'FIRE' button, he and Orbot looked at the Roboticizer, and they both noticed that it wasn't doing anything. It hadn't even built up any energy from the Chaos Drives. Eggman suddenly felt a little awkward being onscreen at this point. "Ahem... um... excuse me for a moment..."

"WHY-ISN'T-IT-WORKING?!" Eggman screamed as he smacked his fist on the button four more times, before grabbing Orbot by the arms and shaking him. "YOU TOLD ME THAT THE ROBOTICIZER WAS COMPLETELY UP TO SPEC!"
"But Boss, that's why I tried to inturrupt your speech to Mobius." Orbot pointed out. "The data needed to fire the Roboticizer has disappeared from the EggNet."
"What?" Asked Robotnik, before pressing a button down on another console. "Cubot, show me the plans for the Death Egg, now!"
"Sorry Boss, but that's impossible." Cubot replied with his normal voice, startling the doctor.
"Define 'impossible.'"
"The Death Egg plans are NOT in the computer room." This news infuriated the doctor.
"THEN TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE! NOW!" He screamed.
"We believe the plans for the Death Egg were stolen when Gamma hacked the EggNet yesterday." Orbot pointed out. "But we also believe that 'Gamma' was actually the Gizoid in disguise." This made Robotnik calm down slightly.
"All right, we know who we're looking for now." He stated. "While Cubot has the Egg Pawns prepare my new fleet to defend the Death Egg, you send what troops are left to find that Gizoid, and bring it to me."
"But what about you, Boss?" Asked Orbot, as Eggman was leaving the area.
"I've got uhhm... a secret project I'm working on..." He replied, before continuing to leave, leaving Orbot confused.

Later, within a small chamber, Eggman was standing in front of a hedgehog that resembled Shadow, who was standing, yet had his eyes closed.
"My plans to Roboticize Mobius may be in jeopardy, but that might be enough of an excuse to let the three of you out..." Eggman said, thinking that the hedgehog could hear him. "You'll be perfect to infiltrate GUN, and bring me back that traitorous robot Omega..." The doctor then turned to a hedgehog that resembled Sonic, except he had some sort of antennae on his head, as well as metal braces around his chest, wrists and ankles. "Hmm... perhaps now that I've left Sonic to burn in the planet's atmosphere, I should release you now... you would fit in with the Freedom Fighters very well! Ohh ho ho ho!"
Finally, Eggman turned to a capsule filled with green liquid, with all sorts of wires and cables connected to a female echidna, who had more dreadlocks than the average echidna, and those dreadlocks were also longer than the average echidna's. The colours of her fur and clothes were difficult to make out, since there were so many bubbles floating around the capsule of green liquid.
"And you, my dear..." He said as he placed his hand on the capsule. "...if the plaques and scrolls I recovered along with your original body are any indication, you will make a fine addition to the Eggman Empire..." The echidna then slightly opened her eyes, allowing her to look around, before she closed them again...

"Sonic... Sonic!" Was what Sonic could hear as he started to open his eyes.
"Ugh... feels like my head and my stomach did some serious Spin Dashing together..." He groaned as he woke up, and saw who was sitting on the bed beside him. "...Sally?"
"Hey, Sonic." Sally softly said as she clasped one of his hands with both of her own, but the hedgehog looked confused as he looked around; Everyone looked normal, but where they were seemed different.
"Wait a minute... how come no one's been Roboticized?" He asked, loud enough for TodStar, Amy and Nicole to hear. "And where are we?"
"The Eggman's plan cracked in his face." TodStar replied, before chuckling.
"But he's still after us, since Nicole's got the plans for the Death Egg inside her..." Stated Amy. "...so GUN gave us a place to stay in their headquarters underneath Station Square."
"No need to worry about Freedom HQ or Knothole." Nicole pointed out. "Eggman's just focusing on me, and nothing else."
"Man... how long was I out?" Asked Sonic.
"You were unconscious when I found you lying in the middle of Speed Highway last week." Said a voice in the distance that Sonic knew all too well. When Shadow walked into view, Sonic's eyes widened, but not because of Shadow...
"You mean to tell me that Robuttnik's been huntin' you guys down for over a week?!" Sonic shouted in disbelief, confusing everyone else in the room.
"Sonic... the one who's been after us is Eggman." Sally said to Sonic, making him sigh.
"You guys better get ready for this, cause what I'm about to say is gonna freak you out as much as it freaked me..." It was then that Sonic told the Freedom Fighters, Shadow, and anyone else in GUN HQ who was listening what Dr. Eggman told him...

...every Mobian in the room was either startled, or horrified by what Sonic had just told them.
"So... so he's been planning this ever since BEFORE he left the United Federation?!" Sally asked, still trying to understand what she had just heard.
"Probably." Was all Sonic said as he shrugged.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Shadow.
"Eggman didn't give me the whole story. I just asked about the general gist of it, and he told me that I was right on the Mobiums." Sonic replied, before he got curious about something... "Have you guys gone through those Death Egg plans Nicole swiped yet?"
"Not yet." Said Nicole. "Not even GUN's top scientists have been able to decipher it..."
"You probably could, Nicole. If Tails were here..." TodStar thought out loud, making Sonic's eyes widen.
"Sweet Chaos... what happened to Tails?" Asked Sonic, which was when Amy pointed him to a bed on the other side of the room. Sonic attempted to jump out of bed, but his legs made him fall to the ground, which was when Sally and TodStar carried Sonic by the shoulders over to Tails' bed...

Sonic was horrified to see the young two-tailed fox with bandages around his head, limbs and stomach.
"Shadow found him a few hours before he found you, Sonic..." Sally pointed out. "After Eggman's robots shot him down, he crash-landed within the Emerald Coast, destroying the Tornado in the process..."
"He was found with broken bones, and a pretty severe wound on his head..." Said Cosmo, who hadn't left Tails' side since the Freedom Fighters relocated. "I've used what healing methods I can, but he still hasn't woken up..." Sonic pressed his hands down on the bed, keeping his head down as he did it.
"Can I... can I be alone with him for a sec?" Sonic asked, which was when Sally and TodStar nodded before leading Cosmo away, leaving Sonic alone with the fox... "I'm so sorry, Tails... I was so focused on bringing Eggman down, that I didn't stop to think about your safety..." That was when Sonic slammed his fist on the mattress. "I should've stopped that missile from being fired before going after him... but I didn't, and now you're payin' the price for my mistake. Never again..."

After Sonic started to get feeling in his legs again, he walked towards the exit, getting the attention of everyone else in the room.
"Sonic? Where're you goin', mate?" Asked TodStar.
"Away from everyone I care about..." Sonic replied as he removed the gauntlet from his right hand, making Sally walk towards him.
"What? Why?" She asked as she grabbed Sonic's arm, making him turn around so she could see the tears in his eyes.
"Because every time I get into a fight with Eggman, my friends and my family are always getting hurt!" He yelled as he threw his gauntlet to the floor. "Well from now on, it's just me... and Robotnik. No one else..." Before anyone could talk him out of it, Sonic raced out of the room, Boosted out of GUN HQ entirely, and straight past a sign that read "Now entering Radical Highway."
"Sonic!" Sally cried, but Shadow grabbed her shoulder before she could run after Sonic.
"Let him go, Princess." He told her. "He just needs time alone to think..." It was then that Sally picked up the gauntlet that Sonic inherited from his father.
"(I hope so... but I still feel like I should be with him...)" Sally thought as she held the gauntlet close to her chest, just moments before Commander Tower entered the room with Rouge, Patrick [*4], Hope and Omega.

"Ladies and gentlemen, despite not being able to decipher the plans for the Death Egg, we have come up with a way to destroy it." Tower announced.
"What's the plan, sir?" Asked Shadow, before Hope rolled out schematics onto a table, which Nicole was able to identify right away.
"Those are blueprints for fighters and carriers..." She exclaimed. "You're creating an airfleet!"
"Not an AIRfleet, Nicole..." Hope told the Gizoid. "We'll be using these to take the fight to Eggman... in space!"
"But, we'll need to contact the Chaotix on Angel Island." Rouge pointed out, before pointing to a small warship. "Especially if they're going to let the Freedom Fighters use the Master Emerald to power this ship..."
"Oh... all this science-y talk is making my head spin..." Amy complained.
"There's barely been any, Amy..." Stated TodStar.
"Even with ships like these, they won't be enough to destroy the Death Egg's Power Ring Shield..." Shadow pointed out, getting everyone back on topic.

"The dogfight is just to distract Eggman's defenses." Tower replied. "The Freedom Fighters will use this small warship to take Sonic into the Death Egg in order to engage Dr. Eggman once again. Where is Sonic, anyway?" This was when the Freedom Fighters looked kind of uncomfortable...
"He... disappeared." Was all Sally said, making TodStar and Amy nod along with her, and Tower place his palm over his face. "Besides, from what he told us about their last battle, it doesn't seem like Sonic can fight Eggman the way he is..."
"Then that means that we'll have to find the Chaos Emeralds as well as Sonic. Give the hedgehog more of an edge." Said Tower, making the three Mobians look at each other with determination. "Hope, give them a couple Emerald Radars."
"You'll have to split up in order to find the Emeralds AND Sonic..." Patrick pointed out as Hope gave Sally and Amy an Emerald Radar each, and Shadow reveals his purple Chaos Emerald.
"Then we'd better get moving, guys!" Sally said to TodStar and Amy, before the three of them grabbed an Extreme Gear each as they ran out of the room.

While TodStar and Amy raced off in one direction, Sally flew in another with determination in her eyes...
"No matter what it takes, I'm going to find you Sonic..." She said to herself as she held Sonic's gauntlet tight in her hand. "...and somehow, I'll convince you to come back. To me... to us..."
