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

Episode 134

Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius...
After the Freedom Fighters reunited, and the seven Chaos Emeralds were together, they and all of GUN were gathered for a mission briefing. "Our mission is simple: Destroy the Death Egg. Expect heavy resistance." Later that night, the evil Dr. Robotnik (formerly known as Eggman) had completed and launched his latest creation: The Egg Fleet! GUN got wind of this, and told everyone -including the Freedom Fighters- to launch immediately!
Can the Freedom Fighters and GUN bring down the Death Egg, or will Robotnik and his Egg Fleet stop them in their tracks? Find out as the battle for the fate of Mobius begins!

Chapter Sixteen: Overlanders are Overrated (Part Two - The Moment for War)

In front of the Death Egg was Dr. Eggman's new Egg Fleet, and every single piece of weaponry onboard the massive fleet was now aimed at the fleet tasked with defending Mobius; Sonic, Tails & Amy in the X-Tornado... the rest of the Freedom Fighters -as well as Shadow & Knuckles- onboard the Freedom Flyer... and the majority of GUN onboard the ten battleships.
"*bzz* Last chance, you pathetic fools..." Eggman said via radio to the other fleet. "Surrender to the Eggman Empire, or face the severely FATAL consequences of your resistance. *bzz*" Just then, Sonic made a decision before he leaned closer to the front dome of the X-Tornado.
"Tails, move us in." He told his friend, shocking Tails and Amy enough for them to look back at Sonic.
"Are you crazy, Sonic?!" Asked Amy, before pointing towards the Egg Fleet. "There's no way we'll make it through that fleet in one piece!"
"And even then, we're not gonna be able to take on the Death Egg by ourselves..." Added Tails.
"C'mon guys, we gotta think positive!" Sonic told them. "We'll never make it through the fleet and into the Death Egg unless we try, right?" Hearing Sonic say that gave Tails the courage to fly the X-Tornado closer to the Egg Fleet.
"Very well..." Eggman muttered. "Ready all cannons! OPEN FIRE!" Just after Eggman said that, every cannon and turret in the Egg Fleet fired at the X-Tornado! Fortunately, Tails swerved through every missile and laser that came his way, making Sonic whoop in excitement, and Amy dizzy.

"Shadow, get us behind them!" Sally told Shadow, before he flew away from GUN's fleet. "We need to cover the X-Tornado until they land in the Death Egg."
"Ready all weapons, and launch all fighters!" Ordered Commander Tower, as the Freedom Flyer provided cover fire for the X-Tornado. When the many GUN fighters emerged from the battleships, not one of the Egg Fleet's attacks seemed to hit a single ship, making the Doctor angry...
"I count 30 GUN fighters, Boss." Orbot pointed out.
"Not to mention those Freedom Fighter ships..." Added Cubot.
"But they're so small that they're evading our turbo lasers." Orbot continued.
"(We'll have to destroy them ship-to-ship...) Launch the Egg Interceptors!" Ordered Eggman. "I want to give that hedgehog a proper welcome..." Just as the fleet stopped firing, the sawfish ships and the flagship of the Egg Fleet released a large wave of flying robots towards our heroes!
"Heh, heh. This is where the fun begins..." Sonic pointed out as the enemy robots got closer.
"Fighters coming in!" Tails exclaimed, before the Egg Interceptors started firing lasers while flying around the X-Tornado!
"Aah! There's too many of them!" Amy cried while she shielded her eyes, as Tails flew through what appeared to be a bottleneck of Egg Interceptors, and the Freedom Flyer took out what it could.
"*bzz* Focus, Amy!" Said Nicole from Freedom HQ, snapping the hedgehog girl out of it. "I've given you control of the main guns, so Tails can focus on flying and making sure Sonic is safe until you're at the Death Egg. *bzz*"
"Uh, right." Amy replied, before shooting down what Egg Interceptors were in the way.

While the Freedom Flyer didn't have much trouble shooting down the Egg Interceptors turning around to engage the X-Tornado, the warship still picked up a fair few on its tail...
"We're bein' followed, Sally." Exclaimed TodStar. "You want me to shoot back?"
"No, we have to keep covering the X-Tornado." Sally pointed out. "Shadow, do a barrel roll!" While Shadow made the Freedom Flyer roll as it flew after the X-Tornado, the warship was still under fire from the Egg Interceptors behind it.
"No effect, Princess." Stated Shadow. "We either need to break away, or-"
"TodStar, flares!" Sally ordered. TodStar deployed flares from the Freedom Flyer, causing the Egg Interceptors behind them to explode once the flares hit them! Sally then sat down in exhaustion and relief. "This wouldn't be so tough if this ship had some kind of cloaking device..."
"Maybe, but I don't think we'd be able to fire anything while cloaked." TodStar pointed out.
"What on Mobius are you two talking about?" Asked Shadow as the Freedom Flyer continued to cover the X-Tornado.

Watching how easily the X-Tornado and Freedom Flyer were dealing with the Egg Interceptors, while the GUN fighters somewhat struggled, Eggman got an idea...
"I know just how to crush Sonic's dream of defeating me..." He said.
"Ooh, do tell..." Said Orbot, feigning interest.
"I'll give Sonic a way through the Egg Fleet... but it'll snap shut once he's in, trapping him amongst some of my strongest creations! GAH HAHAHAHA!" About a minute later, the Egg Fleet seemed to split in two.
"Sally, we've got an opening!" Exclaimed Tails.
"*bzz* Go for it, Tails! We're right behind you! *bzz*" Sally told him, making Tails blast through the middle of the Egg Fleet in the X-Tornado. The Freedom Flyer was just about to fly after them, but the two ships in front fired high-energy lasers on the Freedom Flyer as they closed the opening, seriously damaging the shields! "Ngh! Damage report!"
"*bzz* Shields are at 30% Sally, and dropping fast! *bzz*" Nicole pointed out, making the three Mobians on the bridge grumble.
"Let's fall back." She told Shadow. "I'm sorry Sonic, but unless you can take out the Egg Fleet, you're on your own. *bzz*"
"Yeah. Good to know, Sal." Sonic sarcastically pointed out, as the X-Tornado was trapped in the middle of the Egg Fleet, with cannons and E-2000s surrounding it...

"Maybe you should just let me out, and I'll find my own way to the Death Egg." Sonic suggested.
"No way, Sonic!" Said Amy. "To run through the rest of this fleet, you need to be able to fly, be strong AND fast all at once!" While Amy was talking to him, Sonic had a better think about his idea...
"Wait, that's it..." He said. "I'll jump out so we can split up to draw their fire."
"If we can do that, that just might be enough to let Sally through..." Added Tails. "Good thinking, Sonic!"
"But Sonic can't-"
"I heard support, so I'm outta here!" Sonic shouted, inturrupting Amy just before he jumped out of the X-Tornado and landed on one of the enemy ships, forcing two of the surrounding E-2000s to fire, but they missed and damaged the ship!

While Sonic was Quick Stepping to avoid fire from the E-2000s, Tails and Amy managed to stun the robots by shooting at them from the X-Tornado... before Sonic destroyed them both by ramming one into the other with his Homing Attack! After he saw Sonic Boosting through the cannons, Tails piloted the X-Tornado away from where Sonic was to start firing at the Egg Fleet's weapons. Sonic then reached the end of the ship he was on, where he spotted a propellor sticking out from the floor. Little did anyone know that there was another blue blur causing damage to the Egg Fleet...
"Huh... I'll bet I can use this to get to the Death Egg..." Sonic said to himself, before grabbing the handle under the propellor and running circles around it before the propellor started spinning enough for it to lift off from where it stood. With Sonic holding on tight!
"Boss? Sonic is out in the open with one of the Egg Fleet's propellors." Stated Orbot, making the doctor smirk.
"Target that hedgehog and destroy him!" He ordered, making the cannons of the ships around Sonic to aim directly at him. One ship he passed by fired three missiles, but Sonic pressed a button on the side of the propellor's handle, making it descend and avoid the attack. The ship immediately on the other side fired three more missiles, but Sonic pressed the button on the other side of the handle, making it ascend and avoid the attack.
"C'mon, you can do better than that, Eggman!" Taunted Sonic, making the doctor angry enough to slam down on a button with the symbol of a missile on it. This made all of the cannons surrounding Sonic start firing rapidly at the vulnerable hedgehog! He felt heat near him, but only because the missiles aimed at him were destroyed by laser attacks from GUN's fleet back in front of the Egg Fleet!
"*bzz* Still need a lift, Sonic? *bzz*" Asked Sally, as the Freedom Flyer started flying below Sonic. Once Sonic let go and landed onto of the warship, he spotted the X-Tornado firing at the cannons on one side of the Egg Fleet, while a strange blue blur was charging through the cannons on the other side! "*bzz* What's that? *bzz*"
"You got me, Sal..." Sonic replied. "*bzz* Maybe it's TodStar's ex? *bzz*" Both Sally and Shadow then looked at TodStar, making the echidna uncomfortable.
"What? How am I s'posed to know that's Lily?" He asked. "The Morph-hog. Not Amy's new friend..."

Watching Sonic being protected by his friends, Eggman was surprisingly calm...
"Um, Boss? Do you want me to launch the still-not-yet-ready-for-combat Egg Cauldron?" Asked Orbot.
"No." Was all Eggman said, shocking both Orbot and Cubot. "If Sonic is so eager to be defeated by my hands again, I say let him come!" As the Freedom Flyer and the X-Tornado flew past the Egg Fleet, GUN's fleet began firing more rapidly at the Egg Fleet.
"The Death Egg is dead ahead." Shadow pointed out, but something else seemed to be on Sonic's mind... and Amy noticed it.
"Sonic? What's wrong?" She asked.
"I dunno... this all suddenly seems too easy..." Sonic replied, before he spotted the unidentified blue blur flying towards the Death Egg, and disappearing in the hanger. This made Sonic shrug off his doubts. "Whatever. I'll see you guys when I give you the green light!" Just after saying that, Sonic started spinning in place on top of the Freedom Flyer, before Spin Dashing from the Freedom Flyer towards the Death Egg!

As he zoomed into the Death Egg's hanger, Sonic bounced off a wall that came crashing down on a large robot that resembled Sonic... and the wall's collision caused the robot to start projecting its red eyes... After Sonic bounced off of the wall, he looked around the hanger to see what robots were in the area.
"So... who wants a piece of me to take back to the Eggman?" He teased, before hearing a crumbling sound behind him... when Sonic looked around, he saw a large silver robot replica of himself, with large blades as its quills. "Whoa! You're a big fella. Kinda reminds me of the robot that me & Tails fought back on West Side Island..." The large robot attempted to slash at Sonic with its giant claws, but Sonic Quick Stepped out of the way before landing a Homing Attack on its chest that had no effect!
"*bzz* Sonic, have you deactivated the Death Egg's Power Ring Shield yet? *bzz*" Asked Sally via radio, as Sonic held back a punch from the large robot.
"Ngh... not yet, Sal..." Sonic grunted, before spotting a switch nearby that gave him an idea. "But I'm on it." Sonic then kicked the robot's fist off of his chest before slowly jogging toward the switch. "Catch me if you can, bolt-brain!" The robot then curled up into a ball with its razor-sharp blades sticking out and rolled after Sonic. Just before running into the switch, Sonic Boosted out of harm's way, allowing the robot to unintentionally crush the switch by rolling into it!

"Uhh, Boss? The Death Egg's Power Ring Shield have been disabled." Stated Cubot, making Robotnik slam his fists into the console in front of him, before looking up at the footage of Sonic fighting the larger robot.
"Silver Sonic MkII! Help your brother destroy that horrid little hedgehog!" He ordered, as a door opened up in the hanger, revealing a robot closer to resembling Sonic. "I'll be throwing you into the incinerator myself if you fail!" After saying that, Eggman left the console he was sitting at and walked out of the room.
"Acknowledged, Doctor." Silver Sonic MkII replied. But before it could step out into the open, a strange robot landed in front of it, startling the Silver Sonic. "Impossible! You were sent to Robotropolis' scrap heap during the EX World Grand Prix!"
"YOU'RE RIGHT AND WRONG. THAT ROBOT IS NO MORE." Said the robot with a distorted robotic voice before it punched through Silver Sonic's chest and back, and retracted its left hand before using its right arm to slice Silver Sonic's head in half! "BUT YOU SHALL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH..." The robot then watched Sonic avoiding attacks from the larger Silver Sonic. "GO AHEAD, SONIC. ENTERTAIN ME." Sonic tried another Homing Attack at the robot's chest, but it swatted Sonic away before he could hit it!
"*bzz* Sonic, have you engaged the Doctor? *bzz*" Asked Shadow, making Sonic groan as he slowly got to his feet.
"No Shadow, I haven't." He angrily replied before pulling out a Chaos Emerald. "I didn't think I'd have to use my trump cards this early..." Sonic then heard a slash nearby, making him look up from the Emerald to see the Silver Sonic getting sliced in half by a blue blur that was darker than his own, resulting in the robot's destruction! "Ooookaaay..." Not questioning what happened, Sonic raced deeper into the Death Egg, unaware that the mysterious robot was following him...

Smashing into the chamber with the Egg Cauldron and the Death Egg's Roboticizer, Sonic found Dr. Robotnik waiting for him in the Egg Beater.
"Heh heh... ready to repeat history, Sonic?" Eggman teased.
"Yeah, joke all you want, Doc." Sonic replied. "I'm ready for you this time." Hearing this made Eggman laugh. "Just one question before we settle this... Why? Why did you turn on us Mobians after we helped you when the Overlanders wouldn't?"
"It's quite simple, Sonic... not long after I found your Gizoid friend and those two echidna eggs outside my city, I decided to see just what made the Gizoid tick. What I found inside its metal casings was extraordinary... it changed me, Sonic. Whatever darkness was within that Gizoid made me who I am today."
"No... not Nicole... she wouldn't-"
"You're right, it wasn't her. I never noticed a personality from the Gizoid until after I examined its innards. And I'm glad I did... because I am about to conquer Mobius at long last!"
"Not this time. Like I said before..." All of a sudden, the seven Chaos Emeralds appeared and were slowly circling Sonic! "...I'm ready for you and your precious armor, RoBUTTnik."
"The-the CHAOS EMERALDS?!" Exclaimed a shocked Eggman as Sonic smirked. "W-why didn't the Egg Fleet's sensors detect them? Why didn't the Death Egg's?!"
"BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN JAMMING THOSE SENSORS EVER SINCE THE EGG FLEET WAS LAUNCHED." Said a voice unknown to either Sonic or Eggman, making them both look around as the Chaos Emeralds continued to circle Sonic.

"One of yours?" Sonic subtlely asked.
"I'm not sure..." Robotnik replied. "Who are you?"
"I AM INDEED A CREATION OF YOURS, DOCTOR." Said the voice, but neither Sonic nor Eggman could find the source. "BUT UNLIKE OTHER ROBOTS THAT HAVE SERVED UNDER YOUR COMMAND, I SHALL BE THE ONE WHO WILL DESTROY YOU AND SONIC." Hearing this, Sonic scoffed.
"Someone sounds sure of himself..." He muttered, before the Doctor got angry.
"Show yourself, you coward!" He yelled, just seconds before the lights in the room went out, and all that glowed were the Chaos Emeralds circling Sonic, and the console within the Egg Beater. Not long after Sonic and Eggman heard a thud in between them, they both saw a red light emanating from the where they heard the thud. Just then, the lights turned back on to revealed a blue robot with one red eye that looked like a mutated version of Silver Sonic! "METAL SONIC?!"
"WRONG, DOCTOR." The robot replied, startling both Robotnik and Sonic with it appearance. "NOW I AM SO MUCH MORE. NOW I AM THE ULTIMATE ROBOT... MECHA SONIC!"
