The Egg Totem was a fascinating machine, and an example of Eggman’s more fantastical side. A small three-wheeled car supported a stack of spiked disks subsections that could fly out independently; the disks were equipped with a small multi-directional laser cannon with admittedly poor tracking abilities made up for in the fact that three cannons were firing at o...

The stationmaster looked up from behind the counter as Razor entered the station. “Howdy, fella. What was all that ruckus I heard from over yonder?”
The shark frowned confusedly. “We had a… public disturbance. It should be all over now. I think.”
The old man nodded slowly. “That explains this one, then.” He stepped out from behind ...

It had been a stressful couple of months since the music video came out. Ever since that… robot Sonic doppelganger showed up at his door, Cosmo has been looking over his shoulder every time he went outside. A couple weeks with no more trouble, and he finally started to relax… but the worry never quite went away. Not entirely.

“So, Rose, tell me; what do you think of the Egg Hammer Tank mk. II?” Eggman sneered at her as he kicked his feet up on the dashboard.
The ‘tank’ was more like a dune buggy, with two flexible arms extending out the sides. The right hand was a massive mallet, while the other was currently wrapped tight enough around her body that she couldn’t...

“You won’t get away with this!” Tails cried, only to be silenced by a large metal finger covering his mouth.
Eggman grinned at the fox in his machine’s claws. “We’ll see about that, boy.”
He turned to look back the way they came. The Manta ship was on a direct course to Techno Base… but Ivo wouldn’t be heading there with it....

The final badnik was a Circus--a sort of updated Kiki model, it seemed. A navy-colored robot monkey that, rather than tossing bombs, juggled a large metal orb. Apparently this constituted an attack.
Iota crushed it under his fist, sighing. He wished Eggman would stop modelling his robots after animals. It upset him to have to destroy them.
With that, al...

A wide, open space with gentle hills. A pond, just deep enough for some fish but still shallow enough for safe swimming, and with a little artificial waterfall to keep it fresh. A few fruit-bearing trees and bushes. And surrounded by both the natural barriers of the jungle and a lovely bamboo fence that complimented the aesthetic of the area.
It was...

Being able to adjust the size of my rings had more uses than I thought. Where before the only things I could easily levitate with more rings and other chaos-heavy stuff like the Emeralds and their variants, now I could make rings to fit anything I wanted to carry. Right now, for example, I had expanded a pair to take the place of a barrel’s hoops so that I could ...

Ono wanted a submarine because Humi took its boat apart, and it wanted somewhere to feel safe again where it could listen to the water. It found it relaxing, and it sure needed more or that.

Sleeping in an actual bed again after so long in a tent, or a sleeping bag, or a hammock, or a… softer than average rock, was heavenly.
It wasn’t that Amy disliked travelling, far from it! Even when she wasn’t able to find Sonic, going all over the place and meeting new people was wonderful. But having a home to come back to was good too.

Space is cold. Very, very cold.
Or at least that was what Mecha Sonic had heard. As a robot, he didn’t have any ability to feel temperature directly. In truth, he was hovering dangerously close to the point of overheating; his cooling system wasn’t working properly without air to push the heat into. As much as he wanted to waste time, he really couldn’...

“All elites, report to meeting room E.”
Eggman paced the room, arms behind his back, and Mecha stood by, looking straight ahead. They were all already gathered, only waiting for one more badnik.
Mecha looked at Sigma, standing across the table from him, and the mechanic privately messaged him.

Chaos.
What the heck was Chaos?
When you really thought about it, Humi had come a long, long way in the past, what, five? Six months? It felt like a lifetime ago when she ran into that convenience store and met Heyu, and got pushed into situation after situation that required her to practice her inventiveness. Until that day when Eggman invaded, she’d...

The machine that Tails made for creating the artificial emeralds could only be described as a device. It wasn’t whimsical enough to be a doohickey or small enough to be a gadget. It could potentially be a gizmo, or a contraption, but it was definitely a device of some sort due to its faintly sinister vibes.
Yeah, I had no idea what I was looking at with tha...

She set her most recent paycheck aside and turned to her savings book, the little notepad where she diligently kept track of her finances, and added everything up.

Mecha’s target lived in a small apartment in the middle of the most crowded part of Empire City, and it made fulfilling the Doctor’s baffling mission somewhat difficult.

Ringo stood in front of a mirror, a coat hanger in each hand. “White… or black? White… or black…”

Captain Palisade stepped behind the podium and cleared her throat, looking out over the applicants.

The thing with tracking down a wanderlust-afflicted speed freak with a severe aversion to staying in one place for too long and who could break the sound barrier with what to him was a light jog… was that it was hard.

The new and improved Mystic Station had a beautiful view of the ocean. The old man running the place was contentedly sweeping around his counter while I sat on a bench facing the cliff, overlooking the sea, reading a book I’d been meaning to get to.

“Hey, be careful! There’s chaos drives in there! If you drop it, the Y-Nought might explode!”
The crane operator looked distinctly nervous as he moved Humi’s mech, but he did start going slower.

Abraham Tower replayed the scene again.
