With the incredible destruction of Robotnik's devastating Death Egg in "Sonic 2", the immense warship collides with the lengendary Floating Island on its descent. The impact was devastating, causing the Floating Island to desend as well, together with the Death Egg. Unfortunately for the Flaoting Island, Robotnik is extremely, no, "eggtremely" resilient, and he is back and more determined to suceed in his mission - for the Death Egg to fly.

"Bwaaa, ha ,ha, haaa...."
Grimacing at Docter Robotnik's (the very, very fat and "really bad
guy") demented laughter, a determined hedgehog clenches a gloved fist.
Tiny beads of perspiration were streaming down the
hedgehog'sforehead.

"I've come this far now.... There's no turnin' back!" the hedgehog
punches his gloved fist into his other hand; clearly a heroic gesture
that just makes the lesser-types look wimpy.
Having survived and gotten through 9 or so of the numerous,
danger-packed Zones on Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog now stands on the
10th and final Zone: the immense Death Egg, Robotnik's
devastatingwarship.
But even Sonic, the coolest, most bodaciously awesome and only
super-hedgehog dude (well, you get the idea....)would agree that the
Doc had certainly constructed the worst doomsday device yet,the Death
Egg. And with this he could probably be capable of eliminating Sonic,
and without Sonic (needless to say),
the rest of Mobius as well....
Sonic yells, horrified at the gruesome thought.
Gritting his teeth, Sonic launches himself at Doctor Robotnik (or
"Emperor Robotnik" if Sonic doesn't put a stop to
Robotnik's diabolical plans soon!)
Now, there comes a little problem when you're charging at an
incredible speed, and suddenly.... SMACK!!!
You slam right into an impenetrable force field barrier.
You've probably never experienced this before, but I tell you, it is
not a NICE experience.
The next bit of the story is completely unneccessary,
but if you insist, I'll tell you the outcome....
Groaning and trying his best to restore
his now-battered spikes to their former "blue-cool" glory,
Sonic the bruised Hedgehog strugglesto his feet.
"Ha, ha, ha, haaa...." Robotnik screames with glee. "I've
entertained you long enough! Now you die!!!"
Just then, a part of the ceiling above Sonic disintegrated, and a
robot emerges from the cavity inside,
landing in front of Sonic.
"This is the Metal Sonic! Sonic,
you irritating insectivore, you
have met your match!"
But Sonic was already spinning. Our hedgehog hero acelerated faster
than a hedgehog should, and he charges at the Metal Sonic.
(Look, there's only room for one hedgehog
with bodaciously-cool-good-looks
and Sonic's gonna be that hedgehog,
definately not some corny MetalSonic!)
So, when your pride and reputation is at stake, there's only one
thing to do. (After all, Sonic has a very, very big ego.)
