O-kay, let's kick Eggman's butt and never have to worry about Sonic's story arc again! Because, let's face it, he takes up way too much of this story. -_-
Chapter 59: Dr. Eggman Has a Great Big Fall
Over atmosphere of Avatar Realms
The X-Tornado sped out of the atmosphere and shot down all of the airships that belonged to Eggman as they made their way straight for the Death Egg. "There's the entrance." Tails reported as they were flying for the mouth. "You ready, Sonic?"
"Ain't I always, Tails?"
"Okay. Get ready for landing!" (Play the "Death Egg MK II" Theme from Sonic 4: Episode 2!)
Stage 53: Death Egg
Mission: Put Dr. Eggman in his place!
Act 1
The X-Tornado shot into the base's hangar and ran over some robots as it landed and Sonic leapt off, dashing down the first hall of the base. Sonic destroyed a gang of missile robots at one point and switched on a bridge that led over an electrical chasm, then crossed it and turned left down a path, to a room where a row of floating fans led to a higher point. Sonic let the fans' winds lift him up so he could run down the next hall, which had no floor over a bottomless chasm and forced him to Home Attack across a line of Bladed Spinners. At the end of the line, a platform stuck out of the wall holding a spring, which Sonic bounced off to reach a rail and grind down the rest of the hall.
He made it to a balcony ledge over a gigantic room that was all a bottomless pit with no way to get across on his own. Thankfully, his sidekick Tails was there to lift him up and fly the hedgehog across. Some robots were firing homing missiles from far ahead, but Sonic curled into a pinball and let Tails throw him around to Home Attack the missiles before returning to the fox. Tails eventually dropped Sonic onto a platform and stood between two poles, spinning into a pinball as an energy tunnel appeared, allowing Sonic to zoom through the twisty tunnel and come out on a walkway along the side of a room, dashing down and passing to another room.
He passed into a large ventilation duct that already began blowing him around as he made his way upward, speeding down another path before stopping in front of a locked door with Eggman's insignia on it, where he met up with Knuckles. "I'll handle it." the echidna offered, jumping off and gliding over a dark pit, grabbing onto a wall and starting to climb up as robots shot lasers down at him from above. He avoided the lasers as he made his way above the wall, seeing an E-2000R with two helmeted Egg Hammers guarding a cage with a switch. The Egg Hammers stomped and spun their hammers around to bat him away, but Knuckles easily ducked them as they became dizzy, afterwards punching their legs and pushing them over.
The E-2000R took aim at him and tried to fire its laser, but Knuckles stood in the way of one of the Egg Hammers and dodged, causing the Hammer to be destroyed. He then jumped onto the E-2000R's head as the other Egg Hammer stood up, about to smash Knuckles with the hammer, but ended up crushing the robot instead. With that done, Knuckles grabbed his Shovel Claw and got onto the Egg Hammer, stabbing through its head and destroying it. The cage opened as a result, allowing Knuckles to hit the switch and open the door that blocked Sonic's way.
Sonic continued through and dashed up a spiraling path that went around a small tower, then Home Attacked off some Bladed Spinners to reach a higher point, to another small balcony with a bottomless chasm below. He had to turn a row down the left and narrowly avoided small fireballs that were shot at them from cannons along the side. When he landed safely on the next path along the side of the wall, Sonic continued down and dashed up a few hills, running over more Egg Fighters as he made it to a dead end with a pool of some kind of pink water where Marine waited.
Since he wasn't a good swimmer, he grabbed Marine's hand as the raccoon dove in and used her tail to help them swim through. A squad of robot piranhas were coming to them, but Marine just punched Light Spheres their way and knocked them out. The raccoon and the hedgehog were then sucked by a current into a water pipe, shooting out above the water on the other end as Sonic began skidding across the pink water, reaching a waterfall where he Home Attacked more flying robots and landed on a rail, grinding down and around some parts of the room before it came to a stop on a path that had another dead end, meeting up with Amy.
He noticed the next path was far above the wall where he was, so Amy held her hammer out as Sonic stood on it, letting the pink hedgehog swing and haul him straight up, then forcefully slammed her hammer on the ground to propel herself, then throw Sonic up higher. Sonic finally reached the top, finding a long and straight road for him to dash across, but he soon felt himself being chased by the Interceptor, a large, flying green robot with a laser eye and two hammer-like arms.
Sonic jumped when the robot tried to swings its arm at him, then Boosted to get away when it swung again. He dodged to the right when it fired a laser down the center, then moved all the way on the left when it fired two lasers down the center and right sides. Sonic dashed even faster when it sped toward him, hands turned into buzz saws as they skimmed along the ground, but Sonic slid through a gap under a wall and let the robot crash and explode. Sonic finally arrived at a chamber with a red mechanical eye lodged into an elevator shaft.
The eye had several spiked balls spiraling around it as a shield, but Sonic dodged around the spikes and Home Attacked the eye several times, with each strike destroying a spike ball. When the spikes were all gone, the eye came out of the shaft and hovered over to Sonic, the hedgehog running when it sent various lasers all over the floor and tried to zap him. When the lasers died down, Sonic charged a Spin Dash and struck the eye two more times before he was able to destroy it. With that gone, Sonic got into the elevator shaft and let it take him upward. (Play "What U Need (Blaze)" from Sonic Rush!)
Act 2
Sonic had made it to the higher levels of the Death Egg, having a magnificent view of the Avatar World below through a gargantuan window as he ran along. He stopped in a room in which the doors closed on him, and he was ambushed by a squad of Eggman robots. Sonic Spin Dashed and charged over the robots, but an Egg Fighter came down next. Sonic dodged its hammer and performed a few Home Attacks before it was destroyed. He continued speeding along the road as the gravity in the next area was acting really funky and switching, making Sonic run along the right wall, ceiling, a diagonal wall, left wall, and back to the ceiling as he sped and grabbed onto a rocket. He flew straight ahead and carefully avoided some spikes as he flew what was technically downwards (but was up to him because of the changed gravity).
He crashed the rocket on a lower path and continued running, getting into a cannon and taking aim at a higher route and fired up there as he kept running. He came over a deep chasm and had to Wall Jump his way across some walls that floated in midair, landing and speeding around a Mobius strip before he arrived at a hallway with huge walls of fire. He met up with Blaze as the cat girl used her powers to absorb the flames and allowed Sonic to keep going. The two hopped on a rail and grinded together as Blaze continued to dispose of more flames in their path.
They flipped a switch that disabled gravity over a chasm, making steel crates hover over so Sonic could jump across. He made it to another rail and grinded across at high speeds, having to jump between three rails as some of them were cutting off. When he made a turn around a corner, he could see a massive station straight off in the distance, designed like Eggman's head. As Sonic grinded across the triple rails, three laser cannons took aim at him from the other end. He jumped to the left rail when the lasers fired along the middle and right, then noticed a bunch more rails along his left and jumped across them as lasers tried to zap at the other rails.
He was finally speeding directly at what seemed like the central station as one of the eyes was charging an enormous pink laser, so Sonic boosted even faster to reach it before the laser fired. To his relief, the rail went downward at one point, allowing the laser to miss Sonic completely. The hedgehog landed on a long roadway that seemed to lead straight for the control station and kept running. (Play Metal Sonic's Theme from Sonic Generations!)
Before he knew it, missiles were shot down at him from above, but he dodged and kept running as he saw a familiar robotic foe above him. He smirked as Metal Sonic came down on the raceway beside him, preparing to race the hedgehog across.
Sub-boss: Metal Sonic
Metal Sonic sped ahead of the hedgehog as it looked back and fired more missiles, which Sonic jumped as he tried to get closer. Metal Sonic spun around and lit on fire as it charged at Sonic, able to damage him a little bit before flying ahead of him again. Sonic recovered from the strike and charged forward, jumping and landing a Home Attack on the metal lookalike before charging ahead of him. Metal flew over the edge of the raceway and conjured a huge electrical sphere in his hands, tossing at the track ahead of Sonic and making him run into it, dealing a powerful shock.
Sonic recovered and continued to chase after Metal, charging a Spin Dash and launching himself forward faster, but Metal stopped and curled in his own Spin Dash, tricking Sonic into ramming the spiky metal and taking a hit, letting Metal keep flying. The hedgehog robot conjured a larger rocket and rode it as it came toward Sonic, but he jumped and was able to Home Attack his counterpart and push him back so he could keep running. Metal Sonic hovered high above the track and conjured more electrical spheres in his hands, launching them and making huge explosions appear along the track as Sonic kept dashing to avoid them.
When Metal landed back on track, he began glowing with a dark aura around him as his eyes glowed red and he faced the hedgehog. Metal spun into another flaming torpedo and fired at him, but Sonic dodged to his left and let Metal pass, the robot coming back out and flying after him still. Metal Sonic conjured up dark spheres, Sonic quickly dodging as the spheres came for him at a fast pace. When Metal stopped firing, he was able to get in front of the hedgehog again, with the entrance to the control station dead in sight. Sonic hurriedly ran after him and Boosted, running over the robot so that he could get ahead. Metal glowed with more powers of darkness and spun into a larger pinball, speeding after Sonic with a faster speed. Sonic went at full speed to avoid being shredded by the insane robot, and was finally able to make it first to the station's entrance, causing an electrical door to shut on Metal as a result. The robot ran into it and suffered a painful electrical shock, which eventually resulted in him exploding into oblivion. With the counterpart defeated, and nothing else in his way, Sonic progressed on his way to stop Eggman. (End song.)
Sonic slowly walked along the dark hallway, alit with only a few tiny blinking lights along the walls as he searched around, feeling the "good doctor" himself was close by. He stopped when, right away, a force-field appeared behind him and blocked his way back while another force-field appeared several feet ahead of him. A spotlight shone on the ceiling behind the barrier ahead, upon the mad scientist himself, glaring at Sonic as he stood at a control panel.
"Hehehe." Sonic smirked and snickered. "The old double-barrier trap. Running out of ideas, Eggman?"
"Now, you listen here, and you listen NOW, Hedgehog, because I have HAD it with you! For so long, I've been trying to build my eggsquisitely evil empire, but you keep ruining EVERYTHING! The Chaos incident, the ARK plan, the Solaris Project. All of my brilliant and eggenious evil plans I've worked hours on have been completely and utterly destroyed by you and your KINDERGARTEN cohorts! You and your ignorant animal friends are no different than those snotty Kids Next Door, having no respect for the devices adults have worked hard to build."
"How do you have time to build all this junk, anyway? And while I'm at it, where do you find material?"
"Doesn't matter. You've wrecked my wretched plans FAR too often! The only reason I came to this dimension in the first place was to get away from you. It was bad enough running into those Kids Next Door, but I will not have YOU wrecking everything again! I'm going to make sure you never follow me to ANY dimension EVER again!"
"Good luck, Eggman! You've thrown everything at me, but I'm STILL all right! You'll never find the right weapon to slow me down."
"Heh heh hee!" he smirked. "That's what you think. But now is the day your adventures come to an end. I'll squash you here, and then you and your friends can finally join as one of my robots. OHH ho ho hoo!" (Play Big Arm's Theme from Sonic Generations!)
Boss fight: Egg Series
A laser turret appeared above the hedgehog, and Sonic noticed it and dodged when it fired straight down, evading it as it skimmed along the floor and tried to burn him. Sonic Home Attacked off the laser a little bit as it tried to catch him, but it eventually burned the floor so much, it caused the barriers to malfunction and vanish. Eggman gave a fearful expression when Sonic turned and faced him, immediately jumping in his pod and flying straight down the hall as Sonic Boosted after him, ramming into his pod and doing some damage. Eggman kept flying until he made it into his old Death Egg Robot, taking control and locking onto Sonic before attempting to shoot the robot's arm at the hedgehog, but he jumped back and avoided.
The Death Egg Robot crouched down and performed a high leap above the hedgehog, but Sonic ran under as it landed, then proceeded to Spin Dash into its butt, knocking it over and causing Eggman to come out of the back. Sonic Home Attacked the scientist before he could recover, continuing to fly down the hall away from the hedgehog. They soon reached an outside area of the base, in which Eggman flew below the walkway and Sonic stopped and waited patiently for him to come back up. Robotnik returned to the battlefield, now controlling his Great Eggman Robo, another giant robot designed like Eggman.
The robot tried to crush Sonic under its massive fingers, but it missed and allowed Sonic to Boost through the fingers and destroy them. Afterwards, the robot got behind Sonic and started to chase him as it tore away the path behind him. As Sonic dashed away from it, the robot opened its mouth and released a mega laser, exposing its weak spot as Sonic dodged to the side and Home Attacked it, making the robot explode. Eggman flew out on his pod once again and tried to get away, but failed as Sonic jumped into him and made him fall over the edge. The rest of the runway collapsed anyway and caused Sonic to fall onto a row of floating platforms, which were parallel to another one.
"Get a load of this!" Eggman exclaimed, suddenly coming up in his Egg Viper and zapping quick lasers at Sonic, who jumped and avoided, afterwards running along the short path to avoid the same attack. The Egg Viper came up beside the platform as Eggman stuck himself out of the back end, charging an electrical energy ball from the robot to home in on Sonic. The hedgehog noticed the stairway that was created from the Viper's tail and Home Attacked off the parts to reach Eggman, attacking him afterwards. Sonic landed on the parallel platform row as the Egg Viper rammed through and destroyed the other one. He popped up from the other side of the row Sonic was on and launched out the Viper's two spiked gears. Sonic simply jumped onto one and let it take him over to Eggman's cockpit before attacking him. The Egg Viper spiraled out of control as a result, attempting to crash into Sonic, but missed and fell to the area below before exploding.
The rest of the platforms exploded anyway and caused Sonic to fall onto the road below, which he already started dashing down as Eggman got in his Egg Emperor. The Emperor slashed horizontal and vertical airwaves from his sword, which Sonic either jumped or sidestepped to avoid. When the road was cutting off, Sonic noticed a pole at the end and used Sonic Tornado to spiral around and blow himself to the next path, but was suddenly pushed back when the Egg Emperor charged into him. Sonic recovered and continued chase as the robot flew off to the center of a wide, circular battlefield, speeding up a ramp and landing on the field as the robot started to fire missiles. Sonic sped around the field and avoided the missiles before the Egg Emperor attempted to charge at him. When he missed, Sonic turned around and Boosted right at the weak spot on its chest, pushing it back to the center. Afterwards, Sonic ran over and Home Attacked the chest, making the robot explode and release Eggman again.
Sonic chased the scientist over another roadway and Home Attacked his pod before Eggman flew below the path again, coming back up in his giant Egg King robot. The Egg King raised its fist up and tried to crush the hedgehog, but Sonic dodged to the side and jumped the resulting shockwave before attacking the fist. Eggman yelped and went to the right end of the path, punching the ledge and sending more shockwaves, Sonic jumping each one before attacking the fist again, afterwards running up the arm. The Egg King shook its arm around to throw him off, but Sonic held on tight and continued up, Home Attacking the cockpit. The Egg King flew far away from the foothold and started to charge and ram into it multiple times. When it charged its final strike and pierced its arms through the foothold, Sonic jumped and attacked the cockpit, successfully making the robot crumble.
The foothold was destroyed anyway and sent Sonic down to a floating square-shaped platform. He watched as Eggman was floating into the cockpit of his Egg Wyvern, the robotic bird flying around the platform and launching lasers at the hedgehog, but Sonic quickly avoided them. The Egg Wyvern flipped and charged at Sonic, but he jumped and grabbed the Wyvern's antenna, taking control and making it fly around until he crashed it in one of the base's falling debris, jumping back to the platform as the Wyvern's helmet was broken off, exposing the cockpit. The robot launched huge darts at the individual parts of the platform and broke them off, leaving only one tiny square for Sonic to stand on. When the robot charged at him again, Sonic jumped and Home Attacked the cockpit, destroying the bird and forcing Eggman to fly off it.
Sonic followed the madman and leapt down to another long pathway, starting to chase him more. Eggman turned and faced him with anger as another floating robot came down and encased him in its cockpit, which Sonic recognized as his Egg Dragoon. The Dragoon swung its sword along the ground and electrified parts of it, but Sonic dashed up a ramp and landed on a rail to grind over the electrified floor. The robot launched rockets at the hedgehog, but he once again jumped them as he made it closer, jumping and Home Attacking the cockpit before landing back on the track. The Egg Dragoon charged power in its drill arm and launched it, piercing and destroying the road and making Sonic dive down below. The Egg Dragoon flew below him and shot fireballs, but Sonic swerved around them and dove down faster, getting close to the robot's glowing green weak spots and doing another Home Attack, destroying the robot and forcing Eggman out.
Sonic took land on another roadway and ran forward as the defeated Dragoon fell below the path and exploded. That's when Eggman came down as well, controlling his most recent creation, the Egg Nega Wisp. The robo Wisp fired dark-purple lasers from its tentacles that Sonic easily jumped over, then had to do small jumps over purple spikes the robot released. Eggman then dropped several rows of purple cubes in Sonic's way, but Sonic proceeded between the rows along the side, dodged left to pass by a central row, then went straight to the right to let the last bit pass. He made it close enough to the Nega Wisp and Home Attacked off the tentacles to reach the cockpit, spinning and shooting right at the weak spot to push him back, afterwards Boosting through when it was knocked on the ground.
The Egg Nega Wisp flew behind the hedgehog and used its dark powers to conjure a black hole, Sonic moving his feet even faster as it tried to suck him in. He glanced back and noticed the Nega Wisp slowly sticking its head past the portal, so as fast as he could, Sonic jumped back and struck the cockpit, then bounced away and kept dashing before the portal could catch him. When the Nega Wisp flew in front of Sonic again, the hedgehog finished it off with one last Boost, flinging Eggman off as the scientist hurriedly tried to get away. Sonic Boosted and rammed the floating pod one more time as they were headed into a hallway. (End song.)
"Hnnn! No! Get away!" Eggman yelled as the speed demon was getting closer. "GYAAH!" His pod hit a wall and started to bounce around until it exploded and blew Eggman off into the room ahead, landing on his belly and knocked out beside his henchmen as Sonic caught up to him. "Ohhh…"
"Dr. Eggman!" Decoe exclaimed.
"Showed you." Sonic retorted. "Now… where are Cream and Vanilla?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Oh?" Sonic turned and found Eggman Nega, smirking and standing by the control panel.
"I can see you've made it here at last. Seems you have a strong heart, Hedgehog. A heart that would be perfect for the Side of Darkness."
"What do you mean? Are you implying you're gonna try and get me to join you? Save your breath."
"Strong-willed, yes, but you're doomed to become a Heartless either way. Take a look." With that, he pressed a button, causing the wall to Sonic's left to open and reveal the two rabbits. Sonic gasped at their Roboticized forms. "Yes… take a look. Your precious friends now under the control of Eggman. And the first of many to submit to our rule."
"Grrr. Change them back!"
"I'm afraid that's not quite possible. The Roboticizer transforms flesh into metal, and rids beings of free will. I have transformed their flesh and blood into that of lifeless robots, who can only act by the command of a controller."
"You'd better have some hidden reverse function, Nega, or I swear-"
"Don't you ever listen, Hedgehog? Your wretched friends now exist for the Eggman Empire. It was your doing from the start, anyway."
"What?"
"By leaving your world, you left them defenseless. And now that you see them in this form, you can only feel the slightest tinge of anger. The cold reality is, you don't really care about anyone but yourself. Always keeping cool, not a care in the world, refusing Amy every time she asked you out. Whether I can Roboticize you or not… your heart is filled with the darkness of selfishness. You're doomed to become a Heartless. Especially after I force you to KILL these two!" Eggman Nega grabbed a controller and had Cream and Vanilla step off their platforms. The robots faced Sonic and readied to attack. Sonic prepared to defend himself—
"Chaos CONTROL!" Shadow the Hedgehog appeared out of thin air and pushed the robots apart. He charged a Spin Dash and RAMMED into Eggman Nega. "OOF!" He threw the controller in the air, and Shadow caught it and crushed it in his hand. "You really don't understand, do you, Doctor?"
"Shadow?"
"Just because you've been hanging around Negatar Gnaa all this time, you think you can make Light and Darkness out of anyone. But you're starkly mistaken. Sonic isn't one that can be consumed by darkness. He is a beacon of hope that unites all of us together!"
"Am I really receiving praise from Shadow?" Sonic asked rhetorically. "This is a sure sign of the Apocalypse! Am I right?!"
"Are you two blind?! We've transformed your friends into robots! Where was their beacon of hope then?!"
"We're just fine, thank you very much!" Vanilla stated in a robotic tone.
"That's right!" declared Cream.
"Impossible!" Nega panicked. "Your wills are gone!"
"Guess again, Eggy." Rouge the Bat said, hanging from the ceiling. "I hacked your little toy when we visited earlier. You may have transformed them, but you haven't stolen their will. And, uh, I also know how to change them back." She winked, holding a disk between her fingers. "We'll get to that after we're done taking care of you."
"Is that so?" Sonic asked, smirking cockily at the Eggmen. "Well, it looks like this plan was a waste of time. Just like all your other ones!"
"Hehehe…" Eggman snickered quietly on the ground, pulling out a small button. "HAHA!" (Cue Eggman's Theme from Sonic Unleashed!) He slammed his thumb onto it, and the hedgehogs gasped when a barrier suddenly appeared between them and Eggman. "You fools! You fell right into my trap! Now I can finally destroy you all within an inch of your lives!"
"Give it up, Eggman!" Sonic shouted. "There isn't anything you've built that I haven't destroyed already!"
"It doesn't matter, because now I can Roboticize you as well! Witness the power of my Ultra Roboticizer! Fire it up at will!"
Eggman Nega gave his smirk and pressed a button. The hedgehogs looked up and gasped when a metallic capsule came down… over Eggman? "H-Huh?" he gasped.
"Surprise, Doctor. I've got my own plans."
"W-Wait! Nega! What are you doing?"
Another wall on the other side of the room opened up and revealed the Master Emerald inside of a chamber, flowing power into the machine as Eggman Nega pulled a lever. "Watts up!"
"NYAAAAAHHHH!" The shock immediately surged through the tube onto Eggman, and the scanner showed his transformation already happening. The barrier vanished and the tube opened, giving everyone a look at Eggman's new form, his skin and mustache completely turned into a gray metal while his clothes remained their same color, but were turned metal as well.
"Surprise!" Nega exclaimed. "My very own Metal Robotnik."
"Whoa… Dr. Eggman's a robot!" Sonic gasped.
"And that's not even the half of it. Aha!" Nega pulled another lever and had the Metal Robotnik surrounded by seven beams, each holding a Chaos Emerald, except for the yellow one, which Sonic still had. The beams connected by electricity and caught the doctor inside, giving him another powerful shock and making him shake in pain.
"WYEEE!" Eggman yelped, falling to the ground and catching his breath after the shock was done. "Ho HO! I may have misjudged you, Nega! I can feel the power… coursing through my circuitry!"
"The power of the Chaos Emeralds can do many wonders, Doctor. It has given you magnificent powers. The power to bend machines to your every whim."
"He he hee! Finally… with this power…" he unleashed brightening waves of electricity through his hands, all around the room, "robots will rule everything, and I'll become the supreme power in the universe! OHH HO HO HOO! !"
"Quick! Let's get out of here!" Sonic yelled. He and Shadow grabbed Cream and Vanilla and dashed out of the chamber, at the same time Eggman Nega and the five robot henchmen retreated to their small escape craft, letting the robotic doctor complete his transformation. (End song.)
The heroes ran a good distance away from the control room, watching as the severed parts from all the robots Sonic just defeated flow back in the direction they just came from. The rest of Sonic's friends just arrived as Tails shouted, "What's happening?!"
"I don't know, but when I feel the ground shaking beneath my feet and see rubble flying through the air, I usually get a bad feeling." Sonic shouted back.
"What kind of power is Eggman-" Before Blaze could finish, the area where the control room was located exploded tremendously.
"OHH ho ho ho hoo!" From the blackness of the smoke, the image of a massive figure could seen from the distance. Their eyes widened at the sight of Metal Eggman himself, nearly a hundred feet tall with a body totally piled up of the scrap metal from the robots: his left arm had the fist of the Egg King, his right arm was the Egg Nega Wisp's tentacle, gripping the Egg Emperor's sword, his legs were that of the Great Eggman Robo's, his butt was blinking green just like the Death Egg Robot's, the Egg Viper's tail on its back, as well as its gears on its hips, the capsules containing the Color Powers also from the Nega Wisp on its shoulders, the Egg Wyvern's wings on its back, and the blinking green weak spots from the Egg Dragoon along its stomach, with the Master Emerald glowing brightly inside of it and giving power to the entire machine. Its head was also that of the Great Eggman Robo, and the real Eggman was inside it as always, controlling it from the cockpit.
"Whoa… he turned into a scrap king." Sonic gaped.
"Hehehe… my dear good friend… the Hedgehog…" Eggman began in a dark tone. "I am going to make mincemeat out of you…"
"Not before we scrap you, first. Bring it on, RoBUTTnik!" (Play Perfect Dark Gaia's Theme from Sonic Unleashed!)
Phase 2: Egg God
The giant pile of scrap metal levitated using its wings and flew over the animals, who scattered and ran as it came down with a tremendous shockwave. The heroes were knocked off their feet as the Egg God flew over again, about to slam down on Tails using its bottom, but Sonic got up and Spin Dashed toward the giant, shooting at its butt and knocking him over. "Get a load of this!" Eggman shouted, standing up and zapping rapid lasers, which the hedgehog frantically skipped away from and ran around the field. He directed his attention at Blaze when she tossed fireballs, then stabbed his tail down in attempt to strike the Pyrokinetic.
Three compartments opened along his back afterwards as the Egg God charged the three electrical spheres. Sonic quickly ran over and Home Attacked off the individual parts of the tail and made his way up its back, afterwards hopping up to the cockpit and dealing a few Home Attacks before he fell back down. The Egg God began rapidly swinging his sword around and sending multiple airwaves at the hedgehog as he dashed around the field to avoid it some more. He stopped after a while and shot out a bunch of purple cubes from his Wisp tentacle, surrounding the hedgehog by a maze of cubes and then firing a purple laser that ricocheted off the many cubes, but Sonic was able to hurry away from it and find his way out of the maze before it could zap him.
The Egg God started to send out more shockwaves from its Egg King fist, but Amy drew out her Piko-Piko Hammer and smashed it against the fist, stunning it for a while. With it stunned, Sonic hurried over and ran up the arm, but the Egg God shook him off and allowed him to land on the chest, doing a few strikes to the weak spot before curling in a pinball, shooting up above the body, then coming down on Eggman with a powerful Home Attack, slicing the robo scientist's right arm off.
Eggman Nega smirked as he and the henchmen watched this fight from a safe distance. However, he felt a mysterious ache in his right arm, gripping it. "Oh? What's the matter, Doctor?" Decoe asked.
"My arm hurts a little. It's probably nothing…"
The Egg God leapt and attempted to crush them with another shockwave, but the heroes leapt and avoided the quake. That's when the robot shot its tentacle down to grab Marine, and the raccoon tried desperately to shake away as he was holding her closer to one of the spiked gears on his hip, about to slice her head off. Blaze immediately dashed up the leg and got between the gear and the hand holding Marine, trying to push the two away from each other as Marine got her right hand free, charging a Light Sphere and punching at the robot's head, making it wince and drop the raccoon as Tails flew by and caught her.
The Egg God sped over to Sonic and attempted to stab its sword down at the hedgehog, but missed and got the sword stuck as Sonic used his tornado ability to spiral up and around it. The Egg God swatted the hedgehog high above him and sent its gears at him, but Sonic grabbed on and safely landed on one and rode it to the robot's weak spot, causing the spinning spikes to inflict heavy damage upon the glowing green. When it stopped, Sonic Spin Dashed up the body and flew above the head once again, coming down on Eggman and drilling him with his Home Attack, chopping the madman's left leg off before jumping back to the ground.
Eggman Nega felt another tingle in his left leg. "Why do I get these weird tingles when Eggman's robot loses a limb?"
"GAHH! Cocky little freaks!" Eggman shouted as the robot waved its arms frantically in anger. The Egg Dragoon's drill was extracted from the Egg King arm as the robot hovered in the air. "Get ready to be skewered! Take this, Sonic!" With that, he launched the gigantic drill and pierced it through the battlefield, destroying the entire thing and sending the crew falling.
Tails pulled out a remote and pressed it, calling his X-Tornado over and safely landing everyone on as Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze rode on the wings, chasing the Egg God as it tried to fly away. The Egg God swung its sword around and sent out more airwaves as the Tornado swerved around and avoided them. Eggman snapped his fingers and sent a squad of Heartless ships at the heroes. As the Heartless flew by, Sonic easily sliced them all with his Keyblade, and the X-Tornado proceeded to fire bullets at the Egg God's weak spot. The Egg God flew to the side and swung its sword, slicing open a rift in space that the plane struggled to get away from as they were being sucked in. The rift thankfully vanished, and the Egg God flew back in front of the plane, so Tails sped and pierced the plane's tip through his weak spot.
That's when Sonic leapt up to the cockpit and dealt more Home Attacks against the Metal Robotnik, making more of his metallic body parts come off, such as a small chip in his head, and the left half of his mustache. "Gah! You…YOOOU… HORRID LITTLE HEDGEHOG!"
"Let's finish this!" Sonic decided. "Are you ready?"
"You bet!" Shadow and Blaze cheered. The hedgehogs and cat took each other's hands and spun into a mega blue, purple, and black pinball, spiraling around at a super high speed as they levitated off the plane and shot straight for the robot's chest. Before the Egg God could react, the three Mobians pierced straight through, coming out of the back end and holding up the Master Emerald as they landed back on the X-Tornado.
"Got it!" Knuckles exclaimed, grabbing the Master Emerald from them.
"Thanks. Now to scrap this egghead." Sonic said, turning to face the cockpit. He spun into another pinball and shot at the robot's neck, successfully slicing the Egg God's head clean off.
"GYAHH!" Dr. Eggman screamed, flying out of the head on his pod as the rest of the giant robot fell to the exploding base below. "This… can't be… happening… GYAAAAHHHH!" The pod was unable to stay airborne and fell below the doctor's seat, Eggman flailing his remaining arm and leg around as he plummeted to the now self-destructing base.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled as he caught the hedgehog back on his plane. "Knuckles and Rouge were able to hurry back and take the rest of the Emeralds. But with the Master Emerald removed from the machine it was powering, the negative energy seems to be transmitting back to the station."
"Well then… I guess it's time to get out of here." And with that, the plane soared away and left the colossal station to burn in the depths of space. (End song.)
As many parts of the Death Egg already began crumbling or exploding, the Roboticized scientist landed back in one of the lower parts of the fortress, lying on his back and watching the flames alight before his eyes. As Dr. Eggman watched the massive flames engulf his base, his robotic brain started to play clips, memories of the past.
When he was going after the Perfect Chaos creature in his Egg Carrier 2, the watery demon unleashed a laser at the airship, causing it to crash and burst into flames as the scientist was sent flying. He was shown a clip of his Eclipse Cannon about to fire and destroy the Earth, but it malfunctioned at the last minute and burst into explosions. He was shown the clip of Super Sonic and Burning Blaze, holding hands as they spiraled into a tornado, charging at his and Eggman Nega's Egg Salamander and causing the super robot to be engulfed inside a huge fireball.
"Hedge…hog…Hedge…hog…"
His memory switched to him and Eggman Nega, using their Egg Wizard to control the Jeweled Scepter, about to destroy the world, until that annoying raccoon girl stunned them with a Light Sphere and allowed Sonic to pierce through the robot's heart, swallowing it in another fireball. He then watched as he battled Sonic the Werehog in his Egg Dragoon, but the monstrified hedgehog tore his invention bit-by-bit and hurled him into the sky. And finally, his latest memory, of powering his gargantuan mind-control cannon with the energy of the Wisps, until the entire thing malfunctioned and caused the entire galactic amusement park to be swallowed, not in flames, but the dark energy which was what banished him to this dimension and got him involved with Lord Gnaa to begin with.
"Hedge…hog…Hedge…hog…" After reliving the past memories of all his foiled plans, he was watching the very same sight unfurl before his robotic eyes again. Explosions, happening all around him, swallowing every precious creation he's worked tirelessly to build and burning them into wretched pieces of scrap. "Hedge…hog…" This same thing has happened, over and over again, for too many years to count. …And it all revolved around one thing. The scientist sat up on his remaining knee and screamed to the heavens, the one thing that's always been on his mind:
"IIIIIII HAAAAAAAAAATE THAAAAAAAAT HEEEEEEEEDGEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG! ! ! ! !"
His final words spoken, the station roared and shook, and the burning fires reached and swallowed him as well. From the outside, the planet-size space station flashed with a blinding light, brightening up the entire sky with the greatest explosion imaginable.
"…D…Doctor?" Bokkun quivered, tears welling up in his eyes as the six viewed this from their escape ship.
"Ay, and just as the actor prances upon the stage, he is heard no more." Cubot stated in a Shakespearean fashion.
Orbot made a few sniffles and wiped his eyes. "It's just… so sad how terrific villains fall."
"WAAAH! WAAAHHHH!" Bokkun cried, unleashing a waterfall of tears from his eyes as Decoe & Bocoe made the gesture of removing nonexistent hats.
"Hrrrm… wait a second." Eggman Nega said. "If Positives are connected to their Negatives, then if my Positive died, then that means…!"
"AAHHH!" The robots and Negative screamed when their escape craft was caught in the explosion, bursting into flames as well as the X-Tornado quickly flew away to escape the explosion.
"Grrrr…. almost…" Tails stuttered, trying to fly their ship away as fast as he could. To their relief, they were able to get far enough away from the flaming sphere's range before it faded away, leaving nearly no trace of the Death Egg's existence.
Down below, the Kids Next Door and Avatar teams continued to battle robots before every one of the mechanical menaces suddenly shut down. "WOOHOO!" Sokka cheered, taking his sword and cutting the parts off every dead robot he ran by. "Team Avatar rocks! Go Sokka! Go Sokka! Haha!"
Sonic the Hedgehog stared back at where the station once was with slight remorse. "Good-bye, Eggman…"
"Sonic, how do we change Cream and Vanilla back to normal?" Amy asked.
"Rouge stole the blueprints to the machine, but now that the base is destroyed… I really don't know."
"I'm sure if we raided one of Eggman's old bases, we can find another Roboticizer and reverse the effects."
"Good idea. I say we get on it 'soon as possible. I'm sure the Kids Next Door can take care of their selves for the time being."
I sincerely regret giving Sonic as much screen time as I did. But don't worry, they won't interfere, anymore.
