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

Episode 124 {1 Reach for the Stars -Short Ver.- -> Sonic Colours}

Previously in Sonic The Hedgehog - Chaos on Mobius... {2 Advertise: SA2 ...in the groove -> Sonic Adventure 2}
As five of the six Freedom Fighters were exploring Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park, Eggman was beginning the final stages of Project Eggmanland. The Freedom Fighters remained oblivious, especially when it seemed that Eggman was accepting challenges to fight him as El Gran Gordo.
As El Rapido Azule, Sonic actually got a fair bit of bruises when he fought El Gran Gordo, but so did the fat man, who Sonic suspected was Eggman all along... until Eggman himself appeared on a monitor revealing his deadly secret to Mobius! "Behold, my latest and greatest creation... the DEATH EGG!!"
What does Eggman plan to do with his massive Death Egg? And will Sonic be able to stop him before he gets the chance? Find out as Chaos on Mobius continues!

Chapter Six: Enter the Death Egg {3 Stage Clear -> Sonic and the Black Knight}

Since the face of Eggman's Death Egg was hovering just above the stadium, not one of the Freedom Fighters could shut their mouths, due to being horrified and/or shocked. El Gran Gordo looked just as scared himself, but it also seemed like he was putting on an act... {4 Hunter Base - Wickedness -> Mega Man X8}
"Look at the size of that thing!" Exclaimed Sally, as Eggman in the monitor was still cackling away.
"HAAAH HA HA!! Impressive, isn't it, Sonic?" Eggman asked in the large monitor, surprising the blue hedgehog. "Yes, I know you're watching. And I'm dying to find out just how you and your pathetic friends are going to retailiate... until we meet again hedgehog, consider this your only warning: Fail to stop me, and ALL of Mobius shall become my robotic slaves! GAH HAHAHA!!" Once Eggman's image disappeared from the monitor, all electricity was shut down around the park, causing everyone in the park to start panicking.

While the rest of the Freedom Fighters were helping park patrons out of the stadium, Sonic looked around to find El Gran Gordo, but couldn't find him...
"*bzz* Sonic, come in! *bzz*" Shouted Tails via a radio that Sonic had tucked under his glove. "*bzz* Please tell me you saw that... *bzz*"
"You mean Eggman's big present?" Sonic asked back as he headed towards the men's bathroom. "Still workin' on believing... listen, we're all still in Eggman's amusement park. You got the new Tornado ready to go? *bzz*"
"I'm already en route, Sonic." Tails replied, as he was closing in on the park in the Tornado. "*bzz* I should be there in a few seconds... *bzz*"
"Cool." Said Sonic as he stepped out of the men's bathroom in his usual attire, as well as the Sword of Light. "I'll be shining my beacon so you can find me!" {5 Cutscene: The Tornado Takes Off! -> Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode II}
"Beacon?" Tails asked himself as he got closer to the park, only to see what Sonic meant; Sonic was waving the Sword of Light above his head, making it shine bright enough for Tails to see. Tails then piloted the Tornado down low enough for Sonic jump up onto the wings before the fox pulled up.
"Now this is a sweet-lookin' ride, Tails!" Exclaimed Sonic, before Tails pointed behind him to a pair of handles at the back of the plane.
"Just wait until the Tornado goes into Battle Mode!" He told Sonic with a grin on his face. Shrugging, Sonic jumped from the wings, and onto the platform with the handles.
"Now whaddya say we crack this Death Egg?" Sonic said with a smirk on his face, making Tails happily nod before flying the Tornado towards the Death Egg as it completely passed over Eggman's amusement park.

At that moment, Sally, Amy, TodStar and Nicole were running towards the exit of Eggman's amusement park amongst the many Mobians and Overlanders, who were all screaming and panicking. {6 Asteroid Coaster - Act 3 -> Sonic Colours}
"Sonic, where are you?!" Sally angrily asked a radio she had on her wrist.
"*bzz* I'm takin' out the Death Egg." Sonic replied over the radio. "You guys just focus on getting everyone out of Eggman's lousy amusement park. *bzz*" This made Sally angry.
"*bzz* And who said you could attack the Death Egg by yourself?! *bzz*" She angrily yelled back at Sonic, making the hedgehog cringe.
"One: I'm not on my own... I've got Tails backin' me up!" Sonic replied. "And two: We can argue about this when we save Mobius again, okay Sal? *bzz*"
"Oooh... he'd better know what he's doing..." Sally growled to herself before helping the evacuation, as Sonic and Tails were approaching the Death Egg, when Sonic spotted a familiar red shuttle speeding towards the Death Egg...

"There's Eggman!" Sonic shouted as he pointed to the Egg Shuttle, confusing Tails.
"What? Are you sure?" Asked Tails as he looked back at Sonic, who had an angry look on his face.
"No time for questions, Tails!" He replied. "Punch it!"
"OK, OK... hold on tight... engaging Battle Mode!" Tails pointed out just before pressing a button that caused the Tornado's wings to flip around and form an X-shape around the base. Not only that, but the base of the plane around Sonic was lifted so an engine exhaust could appear. Once that engine was activated, it sent Sonic & Tails zooming after Eggman! Someone who noticed the Tornado closing in on the Egg Shuttle was Eggman himself, as he had just removed his El Gran Gordo mask to see what was approaching him... {7 Event: Flying With Tornado -> Shadow The Hedgehog}
"Grr... does that hedgehog have ANY patience?!" He grumbled as he approached a console in the Egg Shuttle's cockpit. "Fortunately, I know just what will keep him away from me..."

As the Egg Shuttle & the Tornado flew close to the exterior of the Death Egg, what appeared to be a hanger opened, and dozens of flying robots flew out to attack Sonic & Tails! [*1] {8 Death Egg ~ Never Let It Go -> Sonic The Fighters}
"Tails, we got bogeys at six 'o clock!" Shouted Sonic.
"Well, turn your turret around and shoot them!" Tails shouted back, making Sonic think.
"(Turret?)" He thought as he tilted the joysticks, which made the platform he was on turn to face the robots. This also made a cannon appear in between the joysticks. "Cool. All right, let's see what this baby can do..." After aiming the turret at one of the robots, Sonic pressed a green button on one of the joysticks, causing the cannon to fire a green missile at the robot, destroying it with an X-shaped in the process! "Sweet! Does it matter which button I press?"
"I'm not sure. I haven't had a chance to test the turret yet. Although I think it has a tendancy to overheat if you press the same button over-and-over..." [*2]
"Gee, that's helpful..." Sonic muttered to himself as he fired different-coloured missiles at the robots behind the Tornado. The explosions the missiles made after impacting the robots made different shapes, depending on the colours of the missiles. "How close are we to Eggman?"
"Not much, Sonic." Tails replied. "That ship of his is pretty fast... maybe you can shoot at the engines once you're done with what's behind us..." Sonic blasted the last robot behind the Tornado as Tails said that, allowing Sonic to turn the turret back around to let him target the Egg Shuttle. With one eye shut and his tongue sticking out, Sonic carefully aimed the turret at the Egg Shuttle, before firing four different-coloured missiles at it; green, yellow, red & blue. All four missiles struck the back engines of the Egg Shuttle -the green missile created an X-shaped explosion, the yellow missile created a triangle-shaped explosion, the red missile created a circle-shaped explosion, and the blue missile created a square-shaped explosion- causing it to slow down!
"NO!! Grr..." Eggman grumbled as his engines were failing. "No matter. A successful evil genius always has a Plan B. Deploy the Egg Cauldron." Both Orbot and Cubot were shocked to hear Eggman say those words.
"But Boss, the Egg Cauldron isn't ready yet." Orbot stated. "Its power levels are still unstable."
"I DON'T CARE!!" Eggman shouted. "I said 'Deploy the Egg Cauldron.'" After regrettably saluting his creator, Orbot pressed a button on his console...

[*1] These flying robots are called Egg Interceptors (formerly known as Egg Blasters: Click here ). Based off of the TIE Interceptor from Return of the Jedi
[*2] Somewhat of a reference to the annoying Tornado Defense Acts from the 360 & PS3 versions of Sonic Unleashed


That button-press caused the bottom of the Death Egg to open up, revealing a massive cauldron-shaped aircraft with cannons around the base, a large hatch on the front, wings on the sides, and propellers around the thin base below. [*3] {9 Theme of Final Factory -> Sonic Free Riders}
"TARGET ACQUIRED." Said a robotic voice from the bridge of the Egg Cauldron as it spotted the Tornado. "ENGAGING COMBAT MODE." The Egg Cauldron then fired a missile from one of its cannons past the Tornado to get Sonic & Tails' attention.
"What was that?" Asked Tails as he looked around.
"On our six, buddy!" Sonic pointed out as he looked back at the Egg Cauldron. "That's a big one."
"Wow! That looks almost as big as the Death Egg!" Tails exclaimed after turning the Tornado around to face the Egg Cauldron, which began firing missiles at them.
"Just keep her steady, Tails." Sonic told his two-tailed fox friend as he fired missiles back to counter the Egg Cauldron's missiles, unaware that the Egg Shuttle was approaching the Death Egg's hanger. "I've got this."
"That's it, just keep them distracted until I'm in, then lure Sonic into the trap!" Eggman told the robots piloting the Egg Cauldron, which opened its hatch in order to release more Egg Interceptors as well as fired more missiles.

[*3] The Egg Cauldron is the boss of the Tornado Defense Acts from the 360 & PS3 versions of Sonic Unleashed: Click here

"Hang on Sonic, I've gotta take evasive action!" Shouted Tails as he made the Tornado roll down towards the Death Egg's hanger, where they spotted the damaged Egg Shuttle... "It's Eggman!"
"That slimy eggshell's trying to hide in his new base!" Sonic pointed out. "Think you can drop me off, buddy?"
"That'll be risky, since we've got a large number of robots on our tail..." Stated Tails, making Sonic turn the turret to the back of the plane.
"I'll take out what I can. You just get me as close to that opening as possible!" As Tails flew closer and closer to the Death Egg's hanger, Sonic shot down as many of the Tornado's followers as he could.
"All right Sonic, here's your exit, but you'd better hurry!" Tails shouted as the hanger doors were closing, drawing Sonic's attention away from the last Egg Interceptor, who had just fired a missile of its own at the Tornado, while the Egg Cauldron was returned to where it was deployed from the Death Egg. Sonic quickly jumped from the Tornado as hard as he could. And while Sonic made it into the hanger, he looked back to see the Tornado get hit by the missile!
"TAILS!! NO!!" He cried as the hanger doors closed on him, and he heard a familiar cackling from the many, many speakers in the hanger. {10 Terminal Velocity - Act 2 -> Sonic Colours}
"Don't worry Sonic, you'll be burning within Mobius' atmosphere with your friend soon enough..." Said Eggman, making the blue hedgehog mad. So mad, that he just Boosted through the hanger, ignoring any and every robot he ran past, including a silver hedgehog robot that resembled him. [*4]

Seconds later, Sonic smashed his way down to the bottom of the Death Egg, where Sonic was stopped by a large robot being lowered from behind the Egg Cauldron's base, preventing Sonic from identifying the robot. {11 Bowser Appears -> Super Mario Galaxy}
"Hmph. You showed up sooner than I expected, Sonic." Said Eggman, as his face was lit up from what appeared to be the head of the robot. "Tell me... what do you think of my Death Egg?"
"Other than the fact that I've seen it before?" Sonic replied, still looking pretty mad, making Eggman chuckle.
"Believe me Sonic, what I covered Little Planet with was just the prototype." [*5] He told the blue hedgehog. "THIS base was built from scratch, and not only has the firepower to level a whole continent... but once all of the Chaos Drives I have onboard transfer enough power to this Roboticizer..." While saying that, Eggman pressed a button, revealing a large weapon between him, Sonic and the Egg Cauldron. "...I shall be able to reduce all of Mobius to nothing more than my robot slaves within a matter of seconds! AHH HA HA HA HA!!!" That was when Sonic suddenly had a thought...

[*5] And you can see that for yourself in the upcoming SideSaga: Birth of a Hero (the Chaos on Mobius version of Sonic 4 Episodes I, II & Metal)

"Hold up, Doc..." He said, getting Eggman's attention. "Why do you want to turn everyone on Mobius into robots? Is it cause you want everyone to have a tin chest that's just as hollow as your own?"
"Funny you should say that, hedgehog..." Said Eggman as he climbed out of his robot, still making it impossible for Sonic to identify. "Surely you've heard of how I ended the Great War all those years ago?" [*6] Sonic nodded, making Eggman reach for a remote in his pocket. "Well, this is what I looked like before my attack on Castle Acorn..." Suddenly, a hologram of Eggman's original form appeared, and it made Sonic's eyes widen in horror; A bald, fat man with a thin orange moustache, glasses somewhat covering his orange eyes, wearing a uniform that looked similar to what Sonic's late father wore. [*7] Seeing this image shocked Sonic to his very Core... {12 Demo - Perplexity -> Mega Man X8}
"You... YOU'RE Julian Kintobor? YOU'RE Hope's uncle?!" [*8] He said, as he severely struggled to comprehend what he was witnessing, while Eggman had a large smirk on his face. "YOU'RE THE OVERLANDER WHO SAVED US MOBIANS FROM LOSING THE GREAT WAR?!?!"
"Three for three, Sonic." Eggman said as he climbed back into the cockpit of his blackened robot. "However these days, I prefer the name Dr. Ivo Robotnik. The greatest scientific genius in the world!" Still having trouble getting his head around what he has learned, Sonic slowly clenched his fists in anger.
"You killed my father... you betrayed the Kingdom of Acorn and the United Federation..." He said to Eggman, slowly raising his voice with each pause. "...you've declared WAR on ALL of Mobius... and you SERIOUSLY think that I'm gonna let you get away with this?!"
"Exactly. Because now that I've powered-up my new battle suit..." As Eggman's robot was finally activated, the lights around the Egg Cauldron turned on, allowing Sonic to see what he was up against; A large robot that was styled after Eggman himself, but also had spikes on the top of its head, two missile launchers on its back, a laser cannon mounted on each wrist, a circular shield with a star in the center attached to its left arm, a checkered ball attached to its right arm by a sturdy chain, and rocket feet with spikes on top. [*9] "...not even the Knight of the Wind stands a chance against me!" {13 Boss Battle: Big Arms -> Sonic Generations}
"We'll see about that, EGGMAN!!" Sonic yelled as he assumed a fighter stance in order to face this new robotic threat...

[*6] See the Prologue in Episode 1 for more info
[*7] This image of Kintobor was inspired by both the episode of SatAM where Sonic & Sally travel back in time, and the flashback during the Director's Cut of Archie's Sonic The Hedgehog #50
[*8] Eggman had already spilled the beans about this to Hope herself waaay back in Episode 16

Eggman began the battle by throwing his ball at Sonic, and while Sonic quickly evaded it, Eggman shot him with the laser cannon on his other wrist! As Eggman launched about a dozen missiles at him, Sonic raced towards Eggman and tried for a Homing Attack... but Eggman blocked it with his shield! After being bounced back by Eggman's shield, Sonic tried another Homing Attack, but was bounced back again.
"Ngh! What on Mobius is that shield made of?!" Sonic asked, making Eggman cackle.
"The last time I tried to steal the Master Emerald, I came across a large collection of Power Rings." [*10] The doctor replied. "And every last one of those Rings has been absorbed into this shield, as well as the shield of the Death Egg! There is NOTHING you can do to penetrate it!" That was when the Sword of Light suddenly appeared in Sonic's right hand.
"Care to guess again?" Asked Sonic, just before he leapt towards the shield. Sonic then swung his sword at the shield, expecting it to be sliced in half... except it didn't even have a scratch on it! "WHAT?!" Hearing Eggman cackling again, Sonic leapt from the shield, towards Eggman's cockpit... but Eggman raised his shield just before Sonic could strike, resulting in Sonic repeatedly slashing at the shield, doing nothing but give Eggman a headache.
"Grr... knock it off!" Eggman yelled as he used the laser on his right wrist to shoot Sonic away, causing the hedgehog to drop the Sword of Light. Sonic tried running towards the sword- "NOT SO FAST!!" -but he was blown away from it by several missiles! When Sonic raised his head, he witnessed Eggman flying over to the Sword of Light with his rocket feet, and smashing the sword with his shield! "Heh hee hee ha ha ha... not so much of a Knight now, are you hedgehog?"

[*10] It was back in Eps 4, 5 & 6 when Eggman had last occupied Angel Island (the first was obviously during A Guardian's Trial)

This made Sonic angry enough to start spinning in place, allowing little orbs of light to fly into him. This also gave Eggman a chance to fire dozens more missiles at Sonic.
"HERE WE..." Sonic angrily yelled as he stopped spinning, making Eggman see that he had an aura of blue light all around him. "...GO!!" With a speed that seemed impossible, Sonic destroyed every single missile in sight, leaving many blue blurs as he dashed towards Eggman!
"EGAD!!" Eggman cried as he braced himself for Sonic's Light Speed Attack. However, Sonic's Light Speed Attack didn't seem to do much damage to Eggman's robot suit at all... he wasn't even making any scratches! That was when Eggman managed to catch Sonic with one of his hands, and slapped him to the ground! "HA HA HA HA HA!! Nothing like a good game of SQUASH!!"
"Nnnngh! I've... gotten outta tighter squeezes..." Sonic pointed out as he was struggling to escape from where Eggman had him trapped. {14 Engage the Enemy -> Xenoblade Chronicles}
"Maybe so, but this time there's no escape!" Eggman said back. "The Egg Beater was specifically designed to outmatch you in every single way. There is NOTHING you can do to stop me!"
"Ngh! Nothing, huh?" Asked Sonic as he seemed to be getting some of his strength back. "By the will of Chaos herself... nnnngh... I beg to DIFFER!!" Sonic yelled as he managed to pop out of Eggman's grasp!
"WHAT?!" Once Sonic landed on solid ground, Eggman tried swinging his ball at the hedgehog, but Sonic had already Boosted away from the battle! "NO!! You're not getting away from me this time, Sonic!"

Eggman managed to catch up to Sonic with his rocket feet. But just before he started firing his lasers, Sonic Spin Dashed out of harm's way, making his Boost faster.
"Grr... where is Metal Sonic when I need him?" Eggman angrily asked as Sonic got further and further away. As Sonic was spinning while Boosting, little orbs of light were flying into him once again. When Eggman returned to the battlefield underneath the Egg Cauldron, he was shocked to hear Sonic's voice echoing all around him.
"There's nothing I can do to stop you, huh?" Eggman heard, making him nervous. "Well, Robuttnik... NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!!" Once Sonic's body was emitting the blue aura again, he started Boosting after Eggman. Except this time, his Boost made him move much faster than usual. When Eggman heard Sonic roar, he started to get scared...
"Save me... Lord Mephiles..." He said as softly as he could, as he held his shield out in front of him in fear. Mere seconds later, Sonic Boosted into Eggman, making the two of them crash into a wall! Sonic jumped back into the center of the arena, and started panting as he looked back with a smug look on his face.
"*pant pant* Ha-hah! *pant* C'mon, Doc!" He shouted at the wreckage he jumped out of. "*pant* You can't tell me *pant* that was nothin'! *pant pant*" Sonic quickly lost his smirk when the Egg Beater emerged from the wreckage unscathed. "*pant* What?! *pant* You gotta be kiddin' me!"
"Not at all, Sonic." Eggman replied. "Granted, I'm a little shaken up after that... and you somehow managed to dent my shield... but other than that, all systems are still FULLY operational! HAAA HAHAHA!!" Hearing this, Sonic felt something horrible within him, but he quickly shook it off.
"No! I'll never give up! You WILL pay for what you've done, Eggman!" He yelled as he ran towards Eggman. The Egg Beater fired a laser from his left wrist, and while Sonic jumped over it, Eggman immediately shot him with the laser on his right wrist, making the hedgehog roll away from Eggman.
"It's over, Sonic." Eggman stated as he swung his ball down onto Sonic, squashing the weakened hedgehog in the process! Eggman then fired two missiles at Sonic, making him airborne so the Egg Beater could fly up and kick him back down towards the ground! "You lose..." Eggman then threw his ball just past Sonic, only to retract it in order to bring Sonic back up so Eggman could catch him in his right hand, which was when he aimed the laser cannon on his left wrist at Sonic, who was dangling in Eggman's grasp, covered in burns and bruises... "...and I win." As the laser cannon started charging, Sonic's eyes widened in horror as he saw Eggman evilly smirking back at him.

Seconds after the hatch underneath the Death Egg was opened again, Eggman fired his laser cannon at Sonic, sending the blue hedgehog screaming back down to Mobius...

TO BE CONTINUED?
And at last, the Death Egg has been revealed! Does Sonic have what it takes to bring it down?

Enjoy, fav and comment!
