Super Sonic x Dr. Eggman December 2021 Calendar Story

== Main Story ==
One day, the whole world was hit by a very small but strange earthquake at the same time.
And in fact, it was not even an earthquake. It was just a slight tremor of the planet itself.
…The entire world was swallowed up in an indescribable whirlpool of anxiety.
“Hoohoho! I hope you enjoyed my elegant little demonstration.”
Powerful radio waves from space hijack the world’s broadcasting networks, and the high-strung voice of Dr. Eggman echoes from radios and televisions around the world.
“I’ve duplicated tens of thousands of the gravity cylinders that were abandoned on the space colony ARK, and made them circle this planet! With this massive system of gravitational interference, the speed of this planet’s rotation will be at my mercy! I’ll be able to do all sorts of mischief like I just did!”
It happened so suddenly… Everyone looked up at the sky with bated breath, terrified of the invisible weapons floating high in the sky.
“…If you don’t want any more trouble, the whole world must surrender to me and give me everything on this planet! Hoohohoho!”
The world was in a frenzy.
The “Gravity Cylinder” is a 10-meter-long, 3-meter-diameter cylindrical device that emits green light and generates artificial gravity.
They were once used as heavy equipment to transport the Space Colony ARK, but after the ARK was abandoned, they were left to rot in space… and Eggman took notice of them.
In space, with the Space Colony ARK in the distance, Eggman continued to speak as he gazed at the gravity cylinders from inside the Egg Mobile with a fascinated expression.
“To prepare these devices, which are full of black boxes, so secretly and in such a short period of time is truly a blitzkrieg operation! …Let’s see, how about we play some more pranks?”
Eggman was about to press the activation button on the device, and that’s when it happened.
“…Blitzkrieg operation? Yeah, right! You missed the revival of the Chaos Emeralds!”
When Eggman looked back at the familiar voice that had interrupted the communication device, a streak of golden light momentarily passed right by him. In the next instant, the row of gravity cylinders in front of him shattered and exploded in all directions in the twinkling of an eye…
“You can’t get up to any mischief now, can you, Eggman?”
Sonic, now Super Sonic, flew at high speed around the planet, penetrating the “ring” of gravity cylinders from one end to the other, destroying them all in a matter of seconds.
Eggman could not hide his astonishment at this.
“S-Super Sonic?! I thought it was supposed to take a while for the Chaos Emeralds to restore?!”
“Well, stuff happened. …Now that your trick’s discovered, why don’t you give up and make tracks for good this time?”
As he looks at the gravity cylinders that are now few and far between around them, Sonic urges Eggman to give up… But Eggman wasn’t done yet.
“Eheheheh… Fool. This is not the end of me! You should see this! …Press!”
Eggman presses the button with an exaggerated stroke…
Floating above them, the huge main cannon of the Space Colony ARK, the Eclipse Cannon, slowly began to activate, emitting some kind of light signal as it aimed for the surface.
“Wait! Could it be…!”
“I’ve already sent my elite robot squad to occupy the central control room of the ARK!
Its star-piercing power has an energy fill rate of only 0.5%, but it should be able to blow up a whole city.”
As Sonic’s face turns serious, he receives an urgent message from Tails on the surface.
“We’re in trouble here, Sonic! Eggman’s stray robots, abandoned all over the world, have all gone berserk! There’s tons of them!”
“What’s wrong, Tai—”
*Blam!*
Just as Sonic replied, a surprising blow of some kind swung down at him. He barely dodged it, but was pulled back by an inexplicable force and his body was slammed into the wreckage of a gravity cylinder floating nearby.
“Augh…?!”
“Hoohoho! What are you looking at, Sonic?!”
Before he knew it, Eggman, who had an additional armament attachment attached to his Egg Mobile, was floating in the air in front of Sonic. Hanging from the bottom of the Eggmobile was a super-heavy iron ball, about five meters in diameter, connected by a chain.
And then, purple lightning flashed from the Egg Mobile, and the spherical space within a radius of about 100 meters was enveloped in an light purple energy field.
“Do you really want my attention, Eggman?”
Despite the witty remarks, Sonic confronts Eggman, keeping an eye out for this new threat.
“Hmph! …The gravity cylinders’ ring should be restored slowly after I defeat you here.
With the Eclipse Cannon from space, and my countless all-out ambushes on the surface, I will bring you down while you despair as you watch this planet fall into my hands!”
With that, Eggman increased the output of his new weapon and began to slowly rotate the iron ball.
A super-heavy steel ball that generates 10G of local gravity in a 10-meter radius, created by overclocking the parts of a gravity cylinder… This ball also attacks Sonic with tremendous speed due to the inertial control of the black box technology.
“The Super Special Gravity Strike & Capture Iron Ball: Egg Graviton!
It’ll grab you with its gravitational hold and smash you into a pulp!”
The final battle between the two was fought in the jet-black void of space where the gravity of madness raged on.
As Eggman increased the power of the weapon, the terrifying iron ball began to accelerate, sucking in the diluted air and minute particles around it, and in no time at all, it began to spin at high speed around the Egg Mobile.
Sonic, now Super Sonic, avoids the iron ball while leaving behind golden tracks of light as he swings and swings again and again at high speed.
Each time Eggman’s super-gravitational iron ball tears through space, its extraordinary gravity drags the scrap metal and wreckage floating around it, turning it into a torrent of space junk, or debris that strikes Sonic.
“Take this, and this!”
Sonic, on the other hand, is not to be outdone. While dodging the Egg Graviton’s attacks, he uses its gravity to his advantage to make sharp curves… or gravitational turns, putting Eggman at his mercy.
“What’s the matter, Sonic? Aren’t you going to attack me? You must be losing your nerve now, aren’t you?
“No way! In your dreams! I’m just having fun with you because you’ve made a very fun toy.”
“You’re just a sore loser! If you don’t defeat me soon and go save them, the earth will be a sea of fire.”
Eggman was about to laugh at Sonic’s seemingly defensive stance when he said this.
“…I don’t think so, Eggman.”
That familiar voice popped up on Sonic and Eggman’s communicators.
“…?!”
Sonic and Eggman stopped fighting for a moment. The voice continued as if it was waiting for Eggman to look into the Egg Mobile’s console to see what was going on.
“If you’re wondering about the frequency hijacking or Eggman’s satellites giving orders to robots, I’ve hacked into them and ruined them!”
It was, without a doubt, the voice of Sonic’s partner, Tails.
“What the?! How can this be?!”
Eggman’s expression tensed up for a moment as he looked at the tactical display on the console. Not only was his conquest not making any progress, but it was being pushed back in places. A look of fretfulness flashed across Eggman’s face.
Sensing this, Tails continued with even greater enthusiasm.
“It takes a lot of energy to hijack frequencies. I was able to find them with my “Energy Detector Ver.2.0″ right away! Eggman’s satellites were communicating via optical signals, not radio waves, but that’s how I was able to hack them while they were hijacked! …Oh, and all over the world, people are fighting back big time… you’re all so cool!”
Now, all over the place, Sonic’s friends were fighting off Eggman’s robots that were running amok all around. Sonic responds with a thumbs-up to the surface, and Eggman becomes enraged.
“Nice one, Tails! I knew you’d do something about it!”
“Th-This is impossible! How dare you!”
On Angel Island, Knuckles single-handedly intercepts the robot army that has come to conquer the Master Emerald. His inherited battle gloves are extremely destructive!
After blowing up a couple of them at once, Knuckles smiles and speaks boldly.
“Awright! Come at me all you want!”
At Station Square, Amy is standing at the entrance of Twinkle Park. She crushes the enemies that come at her with her Pico-Pico Hammer.
“No one but the lovely couples are allowed in here!”
Cream flies around the world to help everyone evacuate, while Vector continues his raids with his friends from the Chaotix Detective Agency.
The Wisp aliens were fighting alongside everyone else around the world, generously helping out with their Wispons, weapons that can divert their superpowers.
A series of alert displays appear on the Egg Mobile’s tactical display, indicating the disadvantage of Eggman’s forces…
When all of them were erased or hidden, Eggman pointed his finger at Sonic and responded with an unyielding declaration.
“You have all constantly been getting in my way! But I’m not done yet! This much was still within my expectations!”
“…Well, thank you very much, Eggman. So this is what a sore loser looks like.”
“Shut your face! …Hmph, you little pest. Can you say the same thing after this thing lights up?”
A dazzling light spreads behind Eggman, and the space colony’s main cannon, the Eclipse Cannon, finally fires.
*Rooooarrrr!*
Although it was only 0.5% of its original output, a tremendous rush of energy that electrified the atmosphere for dozens of kilometers around the turret formed a pillar of light to the surface. Sonic’s expression tenses up for a moment as he watches it go.
“…!”
And then, from the surface where it landed, the explosion…
“…?!”
Didn’t happen… Eggman turns pale and screams.
“Why?! Even if it’s not very powerful, that was definitely a strike from the Eclipse Cannon of all things!”
The star-piercing Eclipse Cannon’s blow… was completely prevented by the psychokinesis barrier of the silverly white hedgehog, Silver.
A hundred meters above the ground, with people cheering at his feet, Silver smiles as he holds his hands up in the air in the electrified atmosphere reeking of ozone and levitates with his shield of light deployed.
“You shot in the wrong place, Eggman!”
“I-Inconceivable! He’s insane! …Grr! In that case, I’ll just shoot somewhere else again! I still have one more shot…”
Eggman barks as he presses a series of buttons on his console, and now he receives a transmission from Rouge, a treasure hunter and skilled secret agent.
“Oh, I’m sorry. If you’re wondering about the Eclipse Cannon, I had it shut down already. ♪”
The source of Rouge’s transmission was the central control room of the Space Colony ARK.
“I got to use the warp transporter that was abandoned at the site of Eggmanland. ♪ I love it when you leave loopholes like that. ♡”
“Augh, is this Rouge?! But I thought I had an elite robot unit over there…”
*Ka-boooom!*
As if to interrupt Eggman’s voice, the sound of an explosion behind Rouge could be heard through the Egg Mobile’s communicator.
On the other side of the communicator, in the central control room of the Space Colony ARK, the black shadow slowly stood up after putting an end to the last robot, grabbed Rouge’s communicator and said coldly.
“I got rid of your unpleasant garbage, Doctor.”
It was the voice of the jet-black hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog.
“Shadow’s there too?! I hate this sooo much!”
…When Eggman is frustrated and red-faced because everything he’s done has been hindered, Sonic stood at ready and spoke up.
“No matter what you do with me, you’ll never be able to do with this planet as you like. Because it’s got us on it!”
With both hands clasped in a powerful grip and a golden aura emanating from them, Sonic continued to approach the Egg Mobile.
“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for all the people I’ve met! Since you don’t know the strength of these bonds…”
As he said that, Sonic was about to attack with all his might…
When Eggman’s emphatic voice and the gravity wave from the maximum output of the Egg Graviton kept him back.
“Oh, shut up!”
The super gravity iron ball that came down hit the gravity cylinder near Sonic! The gravity generators of both sides cause interference, and a terrible explosion occurs.
The gravity cylinder stuck to the iron ball as it visibly crushed under the supergravity of the Egg Graviton, giving it the shape of a sickle. Shaking it off left and right, Eggman shouted in mad rage.
“‘Us’? The ‘strength of the bonds’? What nonsense! Empty slogans like that could come out of the head of any random dullard… do you think I, a super genius with an IQ of 300, haven’t thought of that?!”
Eggman continues to verbally attack Sonic as he approaches, swinging his Egg Graviton two or three times.
“I’ve thought about this many times before… After many, many rounds of thinking, I’ve already concluded that it’s not even close to my scientific power!
If you’re frustrated, you should all work together to stop the rotation of this planet, even just a little!
I’ll use my power to beat the world hollow, and then I’ll create the ultimate Eggmanland!”
A concerted slash strikes yet another gravity cylinder! This time, it hits the power reactor and causes a huge explosion.
…His aggressiveness could either be called a fervent speech or a counteroffensive.
For a moment, Sonic listened with disbelief, but then he laughed sarcastically, a little impressed with his confidence, and shrugged his shoulders with both palms facing upwards.
“Great… You’re so genius that I can’t keep up with you.”
In response, Eggman lowers his voice to a threatening tone as he prepares to deliver the killing blow.
“I expected as much. In that case, I’ll just leave you behind…”
The Egg Graviton, which has already absorbed various objects, has finally grown to a huge size of about 20 meters in diameter, becoming The Super Special Gravity Strike & Capture Iron Ball: Egg Graviton Final Form.
This final attack, which is launched by the super-acceleration of the gravity railgun, will be difficult for Super Sonic to avoid… If it grazes him, he will be trapped by the gravity and it will be all over.
“Hah, that sounds intriguing. I’d like to see you try, Eggman.”
When Eggman looks at Sonic with his finger on the fire button, he no longer flies around, but leans forward, his whole body filled with golden power, and glares at Eggman with a fearless smile.
“A head-to-head fight, eh…? That’s Sonic for you.”
“And it’s very in-character for you to not hesitate, Eggman…”
…For a moment, it felt as if a gust of wind blew through the air between them.
Then Eggman pressed the button. Gravity’s madness ejected with a roar!
“Farewell, you lagging hedgehog!”
At that moment…
The sun is shining brightly at the royal castle of the “Sol Empire” in a different world from Sonic’s.
The world’s hidden treasures, the Sol Emeralds, began to tremble softly as if singing, emitting seven colors of light.
The personal guard, noticing something unusual, looked up at the owner in a panic, fearing some sort of calamity…
The guardian of the Sol Emeralds, imperial princess Blaze the Cat, held up her hand to the glowing, singing Sol Emeralds, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to her seat.
She continued with a composed manner that seemed to reassure the guard.
“There’s no issue. It’s fine enough.”
Then, as she returned to her duties, she squinted and murmured.
“I’m sure he’ll have a great story to tell.”
…And once again, they were in the jet-black void in which sound and even time seemed to have disappeared.
In space, far above Sonic’s planet, there were two pierced eggs floating around.
“Sorry, Eggman.”
The arrow of light, which had pierced the Egg Graviton and the Egg Mobile on which Eggman rode, stopped and turned around in the form of a hedgehog, who spoke up.
“I’ve never thought of lagging behind as a handicap.”
A huge explosion ensues immediately afterwards. A huge amount of energy was released from the Egg Mobile, and it let out a roar of light.
It could be seen from the surface of the earth.
“I hate you! Next time, no, this time, I won’t let you off!”
Before he knew it, Eggman took off in an escape pod and disappeared from sight in it.
As if to coincide with this, Sonic’s Chaos Emeralds also left him and flew away to different parts of the world.
Sonic, now back to being a blue hedgehog, didn’t chase either of them, but blinked slowly once and saw them off with a satisfied expression.
When will the seven Chaos Emeralds and one egg bring new adventures to Sonic again…?
As he looked down further, he could see that the fighting on the surface had also subsided.
At the very edge of his field of view, in the distance, he sees a long blue trail. It seems that Metal Sonic has retrieved Eggman. It won’t be long before he has a fated rematch with him while he’s being repaired.
Sonic, already feeling excited, outstretched his arms and legs, slowly closed his eyes, and let himself fall to his and his friends’ planet.
“…You know, I think you’re relying on my help a little too much.”
Tails gleefully complains as he catches the falling Sonic on the wing of the Tornado, a red biplane with jet boosters.
“We’re not the kind of buds who go out of our way to ask for things that don’t need to be spoken out loud, are we?”
“I had to clean up all the debris because you and Eggman were fighting in space! It’s a good thing I was able to modify the gravity cylinders to make a Debris Be-Gone…”
Enjoying their idle conversation, the Tornado continued to drop in altitude.
Below them, the horizon of a beautiful, blue, round planet stretched on forever.
One story comes to an end… The world was calmly waiting for the blue hedgehog and the many heroes, ready for another thrilling adventure.
