Cream landed on the path between her house and the gate. She let out a sigh before holding out her arms to her sides and falling backwards onto the grass. Vanilla looked up from her garden and looked over at Cream.
"Welcome back sweetie, did you find out what Tails wanted Sonic for?".
"One of Tails' robots detected something and he called the others to help him investigate it." Cream explained. Vanilla frowned a little when she noticed Cream was blindly staring up at the sky. Vanilla got up and walked over to Cream. She sat down next to Cream and stroked her hair.
"Don't be so down Creamy, Sonic probably doesn't want you to hurt yourself while you're in the middle of your training.".
"I know.". The sound of the front gate opening caused Cream to abruptly sit up. The two rabbits looked over at the person, with an egg-shaped figure, who opened the gate.
Meanwhile on a rocky plain, Sonic parkoured over a large ravine by jumping from the large rock pillars that were strewn about and out of the ravine. He stopped on top of the tallest pillar. He balanced himself on the pillar with his left hand while having his legs in a V shape and shading his eyes from the sun. He cheekily smirked as he spotted the army of robots, consisting of Egg Pawns and Badnicks, located in front of a giant and strange-looking construct.
"Would you look at that, looks like someone's trying to recreate Eggies Empire," Sonic remarked. Sonic's eyes widened when he sensed multiple Chaos Emeralds nearby but couldn't pin down their locations.
"That's odd, could they be making fake emeralds or looking for part of the master emerald?". Sonic placed his free hand on his chin as he continued to wonder. He shrugged and launched himself with his left hand. He Spin Jumped mid-air before uncurling mid-air. Sonic landed on the side of the pillar and quickly jumped off it before quickly parkouring his way towards the robot army. Sonic jumped off the last rock pillar and landed on some flat terrain. He brushed off some dust that had got caught in his quills and boosted off.
A group of robots spotted Sonic rapidly approaching and braced themselves. The Egg Pawns with guns and the Buzz Bombers started to fire a barrage of energy beams at Sonic. Sonic easily evaded and dodged out of the way of the energy beams. He jumped onto the head of an Egg Pawn. Sonic launched himself off the Egg Pawn, causing it to fall over, and homing attacked all of the Buzz Bombers into the ground making them explode. Sonic landed on the ground.
"Man, now this takes me back.". Sonic clicked his shoulder as he rotated it. An Egg Pawn with a lance tried to stab Sonic but he easily moved out the way. The Egg Lancer frantically continued to stab at Sonic, but he swiftly evaded all of the Egg Lancer's attacks. After a few seconds of dodging, Sonic sat down on the lance as the Egg Lancer continued to repeatedly thrust its lance. It paused for a second and looked at Sonic when it realised he was sitting on its lance.
"Don't stop what you're doing on my account, I'm just taking a break," Sonic remarked. The Egg Lancer tried to hit Sonic with its shield but Sonic backflipped into the air. The shield collided with the lance and caused it to bend. Sonic spin dashed in the air before homing attacking through the Egg Lancer. Sonic hopscotched on the head of the Egg pawns and landed on the ground outside of the group. He quickly ran around the perimeter of the Egg Pawns at supersonic speed. He created a strong upwards force causing all the robots to start floating as a tornado started to form. The tornado rapidly pulled all the Egg Pawns into the air.
Sonic dashed over to the spot on the ground that's directly in the centre of all the Egg Pawns. Sonic created a Sonic Hurricane, a move where sonic creates a tornado infused with blue coloured chaos energy by spinning on the spot while doing a t-pose, and shredded the Egg Pawns into pieces before they exploded. Sonic stopped spinning and slightly stumbled. He shook his head as the dizziness faded.

"Talk about a real brain scrambler.". Sonic chuckled a little but was interrupted by an energy beam. He moved his head slightly and the energy beam flew right past him. He grinned while looking over in the direction the energy beam came from. A purplely red-cloaked figure who was wearing a mask that seemed to be a modified version of Infinite's mask, having a giant orange visor and not having the right side covered, watched Sonic rapidly approaching from the top of the giant construct.
"My my, It would seem they caught on to me a lot sooner than expected, but the experiments are almost complete, so it's no matter." the figure remarked. The door leading inside the construct opened. A shiny-metalic Rough and Tumble emerged from the door.
"Say boss, you want us to deal with the spikey pinball?" Rough asked with a slightly robotic voice. The figure slightly glanced at Rough and Tumble. The figure was about to answer but was interrupted by two individuals racing out of the door.
"What's the big idea, doc? Why didn't you tell me Sonic was here!" Surge yelled causing her quills to flash a bright lime and her eyes to flicker, while Kit peered his head at the figure from behind Surge.
"It seems you're still far too impatient, Surge. He only just arrived so please show the tiniest bit of restraint, for now." the figure ordered. Surge gritted her teeth, with Kit trying to calm her down. The figure lifted their left arm out of their cloak, revealing their glove with a smooth orange topaz with a darker orange spiral on it.
"First we'll see if Sonic is still worth your attention.". Surge smirked and crossed her arms smugly, Kit smiled at seeing Surge smile.
"I like your thinking, wouldn't want to waste my introduction on a weak opponent." Surge snarked. The figure made the Warp Topaz faintly glow and a wormhole appeared in front of Rough and Tumble. Sonic sprinted at fall speed towards the wall of Egg Shielders, Egg Pawns with tower shields, as his eyes shifted to a light yellow. With every quick step, Sonic took fire spitted out from under his shoes. Sonic smirked as he planted his foot firmly on the ground before boosting off at breakneck speed, as fire completely surrounded his body.
The Buzz Bombers fired relentlessly at Sonic but their energy beams were instantly destroyed by the massive amount of fire that surrounded Sonic. Sonic instantly came to a stop, right in front of the wall of Egg Shielders, and sprung into the air. The Badnicks watched Sonic soar into the air and start to Spin Dash. The Spin Dash drew in the flames surrounding him, causing sonic's body to glow bright red. Before the bad nicks could respond, Sonic rocketed to the centre of the Badnicks. He collided with the ground creating a torrent of flames that incinerated the Badnicks in seconds. Sonic, now sporting red quills, yellow eyes and a flamey aura, stood up and looked up at the top of the towering construct.
"Boy, it's a lot bigger up close," Sonic said while shading his eyes as he looked for an entrance. Surge was freaking out as she looked in amazement at Sonic's form.
"Oh my Gaia below that looks so cool, it makes me want to kick his butt more than ever!" Surge exclaimed. The cloaked figure looked over at Surge and she awkwardly/slightly angerly crossed her arms while grumbling something under her breath.
"Now Rough and Tumble, why don't you give our guest a warm welcome.". Rough and Tumble fist-bumped each other before leaping through the wormhole, with Tumble sticking out his tongue and pulling down one of his bottom eyelids at Surge. Surge gritted her teeth while glaring at Tumble. Sonic finished a lap around the outside of the construct and scratched his head.
"It doesn't seem to have an entrance, how do they expect me to kick their butt if I cant get-". Sonic abruptly teleported as a Rough's metalic fist smashed the spot where Sonic was just standing. Rough recoiled his stretchy arm before the duo landed on the ground. Sonic reappeared and spotted the duo.
"Well if it isn't dumb and dumber, I haven't seen you guys since Me and Knux sent you schmucks packing from Barricade Town.". The duo glared at Sonic as the two of them posed dramatically. Sonic rolled his eyes, knowing what they were about to do.
"Could you guys skip the tacky rhyming shtick and get to the part where I send you packing," Sonic remarked while placing his right fist into his left palm. The duo stared daggers at Sonic.
"Did you call are thing a tacky stick, nobody makes fun of our thing!" Tumble yelled. Rough launched one of his stretchy arms at Sonic, who easily moved out of the way. Rough's ear twitched as he recoiled his arm before throwing a flurry of punches at Sonic. Sonic raced towards Rough while dodging his punches. Sonic jumped into the air and axe kicked Rough in the head. Sonic jumped backwards and noticed Rough's head had sunk into his body. Sonic looked puzzled as he backflipped over Tumble as he tried to tail swipe Sonic. Sonic kicked Tumble mid-air into Rough before landing back on the ground. The stunk duo fumbled to their feet, with Sonic checking his wristwatch in the meantime. Sonic shook his head disappointedly as his quills, fur and eyes reverted to normal.
