*"Time to fight."*
―Doctor Eggman[src]
The **Battle Against the Giant Eggman Robot** was a major confrontation between Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails and Knuckles the Echidna against the forces of Doctor Eggman.

Having obtained the Master Emerald, Robotnik pieced scraps of metal together to create his ultimate creation; the Giant Eggman Robot. However, with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles coming from Hawaii via the *Tornado* biplane, the two were able to confront Eggman. Even though failing, the three formed a stable plan, in which the Master Emerald was extracted from Eggman's hands.

Sonic was injured however, and so are Tom and Maddie Wachowski after saving Sonic from the massive hand of the robot. Sonic, with the emerald in hand, transformed into a more powerful being, able to rid the town, and possibly the universe, from Eggman's reign. The three then formed a team that promises to protect the Master Emerald from any possible danger.

## Background

*"That can only be one thing."
"The fearsome power of the emerald."
"If that thing really turns thoughts into power, we are in big trouble. Robotnik has a lot of bad thoughts."*
―Tails, Knuckles the Echidna and Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Eggman steals the power the Master Emerald grants and teleports to the Mean Bean Coffee Café in Green Hills, Montana, meeting up with agent Stone tied by temporary sheriff Wade Whipple. He frees Stone and commands Whipple to tie himself to the chair as the Guardian Units of Nations confront them in front of the coffee shop with Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski. Underestimated by Commander Sam Walters, Eggman shows his might, tearing all metal from various objects.

Meanwhile, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails travel to Green Hills upon the *Tornado* alongside Knuckles the Echidna, who had changed his morals. They stare upon a Giant Eggman Robot, leading to Sonic trying to figure out a plan. As he suggests one, Knuckles randomly jumps off the biplane. Hence Sonic and Tails charging at the mechanism.

## Battle

*"Look we aren't strong enough to beat Robotnik on our own, but there's three of us. Your strength, your smarts and my speed, together. That's how we win."
"So we make our stand here on the field of battle."
"As a team!"
"This is it. This is our moment."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna and Tails[src]
Heading for the Giant Eggman Robot, Tails tries to evade its missiles with Sonic the Hedgehog aboard. Unluckily, he gets hit by one. Knuckles the Echidna runs to Doctor Eggman's Badnik, hitting it with all his muscle power, and Tails fires ineffective exploding bullets upon the machine, resulting in the *Tornado*'s wreckage. Sonic returns with the missile and storms it onto the robot, but even that delivers no effect. The three meet each other behind rubble, with Sonic suggesting to combine their qualities to defeat Robotnik. Declaring this as their moment, Eggman sends in Master Emerald enhanced Badniks, tasking the three in destroying them all. While they are fighting, Tails suggests to find Eggman's weak spot, receiving Knuckles' answer to be the groin. Sonic realizes that he is Eggman's biggest flaw, and must distract him while Tails and Knuckles find a way to stop Eggman from inside the robot.

Splitting up, Sonic challenges Eggman to get him, getting him to follow him into the forest. When Sonic questions Eggman's plans, Eggman replies that he seeks to conquer the universe, with eradicating Sonic being his first step. He comes close to that outcome when he fires a laser on a bridge Sonic was running on, heavily injuring him. However, Tails and Knuckles proceed to enter the giant mech, with Tails distracting Eggman before Knuckles punches the Master Emerald out of Robotnik's possession.

The robot tumbles, but recharges with technology instead of mystical power, as Sonic spots the emerald and efforts to reach it. He is able to get it faster with the help of Tom and Maddie Wachowski, who try to evade the robot's stomp with their truck, but eventually plummet upon the ground. Surrounded by fire and defeat, the Wachowskis and Sonic are seemingly crushed by Robotnik, much to Tails and Knuckles' demises. But no sooner does a golden formation of Sonic and the power of the Chaos Emeralds tilt the machine's leg, tearing through it and destroying the entire robot. With a simple flinch of his feet, Super Sonic has tilted the robot to Eggman's demise.

Sonic settles upon the ground, summoning chili dogs for him and Knuckles, and hugs with Tails and the Wachowskis. Knuckles reforms the Master Emerald, asking what they should do with it. They all agree to form a new order unlike the ones ages ago, protecting it from all potential evil, performing a power bump promise.

## Aftermath

### Baseball Match

*"It's truly a beautiful day for baseball here in Green Hills. An exciting lineup today with the debut appearance of two new players! On the mound, rookie sensation from across the galaxy: Miles "Tails" Prower! Facing off against the powerhouse: Knuckles the Echidna."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Afterwards, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails and Knuckles the Echidna play baseball with Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski. With Tails on the mound, he throws a fastball at Knuckles, who uses a 'power bump' to blast it away. Proclaiming himself victorious, Knuckles begins cheerily conquering the bases while Tails claims this as unfair. The Wachowskis treat the order for ice cream, and thus leave.

### G.U.N.'s Investigation

*"Sir, there's something else. When we were wiping Robotnik off our database, we found something; A file buried deep in our system and dating back over 50 years."
"What was it?"
"Coordinates, sir."
"Coordinates? To what?"
"A secret research facility. It was a black site, sir. Someone worked very hard to keep this hidden."
"My god. Project Shadow."*
―G.U.N. Mean Bean Agent and Sam Walters[src]
Sam Walters requests an update on Robotnik, to which Sam Walters gets an answer of uncertainty from the Secretary of Homeland Security, hence his conviction of Eggman being dead. Stone survived the crash however, and disguises himself as a Guardian Units of Nations soldier as he listens in on the Secretary of Homeland Security's latest discovery. The Secretary tells Walters about G.U.N. having located files to a secret research facility while wiping Eggman's data. Meanwhile, a capsule mysteriously opens, revealing Shadow the Hedgehog, the end result of Project Shadow.
