A explosion blasts out, following a horrible cry ringing in the large base.

Eggman halts, slowly turning around in shock. He adjusts his glasses, brows furrowing in concern. No.. it can’t be. He can’t be the only one left alive, right?.. RIGHT?!

*His eyes quickly widen in shock, his body freezing momentarily gruesome so. There, in-front of his eyes, is a dead Metal Sonic, laying there in pieces. He looks up, seeing the malicious doppelgänger of Sonic the Hedgehog, 2011x, only snicker at the sight of the collapsed robot. He brushes off the burn marks like they’re just a feather.

Eggman, instead of pleading his life, actually grits his teeth in anger and determination. 2011x sees his reaction, and cackles maniacally. The monster thinks to himself.. it’s just a fat guy, all alone, with his entire team dead. How hard could it be?

Well, it’s actually hard.

2011x springs up into the air, before flying, charging at the scientist. Eggman stays still, fists clenched. The executioner moves closer, dangerously fast. Yet, the man isn’t even running. What is he DOING?! RUN!

Just in time, Eggman activates his shield, 2011x making contact with the attack. The killer jerks back in frustration and pain, covering his face in anger. The human only laughs at the beasts misfortune. He speaks in that same arrogant, cocky tone of his.

“Catch me if you CAN!”

Without hesitation, Eggman immediately runs away, using his jetpack as a speed boost. He runs in the hallways and corridors of his own base, ignoring the bodies of Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Cream, and Metal Sonic. By the time 2011x regains composure, the guy is already gone. He snarls in frustration.
