Central City

Several more hordes of Badniks, including Buzz Bombers, Moto Bugs, and a massive swarm of Egg Pawns, could be seen attacking the populace left and right. Throughout the carnage, several citizens were seen being gunned down by the robots as a mysterious figure oversaw the destruction his forces were leaving in their wake.

“Yes, perfect! Everything is going as planned thus far,” He chuckled to himself. “It won’t be too long before the blue rodent gets here, and he will.. In time, meet his end. But not today.”


This mystery person looked like a rotund and burly human, his torso and head coming together in an egg-like shape. He possesses no visible neck, peach skin, a bald head, a bright red nose, and a very bushy moustache. He also has long, almost disproportionately thin arms and legs. Wearing a red jumpsuit with a metallic-looking vertical silver stripe going up the middle and black and yellow-striped boots with gray soles. He also wears a open black military-styled jacket over his jumpsuit. The jacket possesses long coattails, a yellow stripe on the upper arms, yellow triangular markings on the chest areas that extend over the shoulders and down the back, big yellow cuffs with two points, and two round gray buttons on the lower front. In addition, he was wearing white gloves with a square marking on the tops, pointy blue sunglasses, and visor-styled goggles with gray frames and a green lens. 

Just behind the doctor, the Mobian-like figure who is wearing a silver-colored mask with white and black circular patterns on the inside of the ears, with the right ear being black with white circular patterns and the left being white with black circular patterns. His left eye is visible through a red visor, his right eye is covered by a black lightning bolt-shaped piece, similar to an eye-patch, that is connected to his mask's right ear. He simply floated in mid-air as he replied with a menacing taunt in his voice, “Indeed. I look forward when the time is right to crush the spirits of the little blue king and those pathetic worms he calls his ‘friends’...”

Back on the surface, Tails continued his efforts in holding off the Badniks with his Energy Ball cannon and long-reaching Magic Hand, directing the civilians towards safety all the while. However, some of the civilians decided to stay behind and provide some assistance to the twin-tailed fox and the rest of his companions.

Someplace else, a red echidna with atomic fists swiftly crushed his way through more of Eggman’s robots before another wave charged straight towards his position. Just as the echidna was about to strike them down, however, the Badniks were suddenly swept away by what seemed to be a large, pink tornado, prompting him to turn the direction of the source of the tornado - a pink hedgehog in a red dress and matching boots, carrying a large hammer.

“Heh. Thanks for the save, Amy,” Knuckles the Echidna remarked with a smirk. “But you know I could’ve taken them, though.”

“Oh, I knew you could,” the pink hedgehog, Amy Rose, replied with a slightly sarcastic tone. “I just thought it would be a waste of energy for you to punch ‘em out like always, Knux.”

Upon hearing that, the red echidna gave no response aside from a quiet chuckle before running off to find more Badniks to smash to bits, while Amy ran off someplace else to do the same.

Elsewhere, a purple Chameleon possessing expertise in ninjutsu, a tall, green crocodile with large muscles, and a relatively-tiny and hyperactive bee were dealing with several more swarms of Badniks. Accompanying the three was a silver-furred hedgehog with notably-potent psychokinetic powers. With their combined might, the four steadily made progress in clearing away waves after waves of the Badnik forces.

“You know? Despite the circumstances, it’s nice getting to work with you again, Espio,” the psychokinetic, Silver the Hedgehog, remarked after slicing a few Badniks in half with a bladed projectile of psychokinetic energy.

"That much I can agree with, Silver,” Espio the Chameleon answered with a soft grin towards him. “It has been a long while since our little adventure together.”

Just as the two began to relax a little at the thought, the hyperactive bee quickly flew towards them and cried, “Hey! This ain’t the time to be reminiscing the past! We’ve still got a lot of work to do!”

“Charmy’s right, Espio.” the muscled crocodile, Vector the Crocodile, added to the statement of the hyperactive child, Charmy Bee. “There are still a lot of Badniks that need a good ass-kicking.”

“Of course,” Espio nodded. “Let’s get moving, then.”

The other three then nodded and dashed towards the distance to find more of the old Badniks to fend off, at least until Sonic finally made it back to Central City to help secure Central City with his long-time friends and the Maximals....

Elsewhere. . .

Concurrent to the events on Coruscant, Han and his cloned wife Leia Organa Solo were contacted by Dur Gejjen, a member of Corellia's Democratic Alliance, who secretly wanted Thrackan Sal-Solo removed from office—permanently. Gejjen brought up the idea of killing Sal-Solo, something the Solos needed time to consider.

Not fully confident that the Solos would accomplish their task, Gejjen also hired Boba Fett to kill Sal-Solo. Fett was already considering accepting a job from Thrackan to protect Centerpoint Station from the Galactic Alliance blockade. However, Boba agreed to Gejjen's contract.
