Sonic was Dr. Robotnik's nemesis. All of the freedom fighters knew it and a few underground rogues had been taught that lesson as well.
No one messed with Eggman except for Sonic.
Every now and then he would run into a few that decided that Sonic wasn't taking the fight seriously, that he was just playing around in a dangerous game. Which in all honesty he was, but no one needed to know that fact but himself and Robotnik. That thought though was for another time as he stared angrily at a group of rogues huddles in the corner unaware of the new arrival.
"Listen men, I say we just kill that little blue shit and get him out of our hair. With him gone we can finally take out Eggman and then we can take over his empire. I bet those freedom punks would be quick to cower if we showed them both of their heads on a pike."
The group laughed drunkenly, one or two of them let out a loud belch while laughing.
"What about how fast he is boss. How we going to catch him?"
"We take him off guard, pretend to join his little crew and then bam right in the head boys. Then we do the same with the robo freak, act like we want to join his army and pow right in that fat stomach of his. This war will be done in no time and everyone'll be bowing to us."
Sonic had heard enough, it was laughable that these goons thought they could get even close to taking him out but to threaten Eggman was a no no. He looked around the area to make sure no one was around then looked up in time to see a vid cam attempt to hide behind a ladder. Sending it a wink, Sonic touched a button on his wrist watch and his normally soft quills became sharp as nails and his gloves faded away leaving razor sharp claws instead.
It was over befure they could even start screaming. The leader of the group Sonic saved for last and all he saw was a pair of glowing red eyes before peeing on himself and passing out. Disappointed that his fun had ended Sonic quickly bundled up the bodies leaving the leader alive and in the middle of the pile. He ran as fast as light to the forest and left them at the entrance of a bear cave to become a late night snack.
Anyone who even tried to mess with Eggman? Well Sonic wasn't the blue beast of Mobius for nothing.
