The preview
S "Okay Knux, I need a boost!" Sonic said as he homing attacked him, then Knuckles promptly grabbed the hedgehog and threw him at Eggman's mech, as Sonic added a hurricane kick for good measure. "Come on, come ooon…" Tails said, typing as fast as possible to override the Universal Collider's code. Knuckles leapt into the air and glided before landing a devastating hit on Eggman's mech, but was grabbed by the machine and thrown away. "do you pesky rodents really think you could defeat me this time? HOHO! Even if you defeat my mech, my Collider will already have finished processing! The Echo Universe is in arms reach, welcome to the Eggman Empire!" Eggman laughed. "ECHIDNAS ARE NOT RODENTS, WE ARE MONOTREMES, DECEIVER!!" Knuckles shouted before landing another devastating blow on the mech "ough, I actually felt that…" Eggman notes. "Tails, how's that overriding coming along…?" Sonic asks. "Not so good…" Tails reveals sheepishly, as Eggman attacked the two with lasers while they were distracted. Sonic narrowly dodged the first few, but got hit by the last few. "OOOOW, that stings! It buuurns…" he whines as Tails comes crashing down. "GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF, SONIC! You can shake off throwing yourself at titanium, so you can shake off a laser!" Knuckles notes. The two recovered in enough time to carry on battling Eggman, as Sonic zipped about Eggman round and round at light speed. "Grrrgh, why can't that blasted hedgehog hold still…?!" Eggman muttered. While he was distracted with trying to get Sonic at JUUST the right spot, Knuckles landed another combo of devastating hits leaving a good series of dents on the robot. "Come on, come on, so clooooose…" Tails said, pushing to override the code best he could, but it was made speficially Tails-proof. After Sonic doing rings (GEDDIT?!) around Robotnik, Sonic held still. Seizing the chance, Eggman tried to crush him with the mech's fist, but Sonic zipped off in time and ran up it's arm to the top of it's head. "Yoohoo, Egghead, uptop!" The fist then tried to smash Sonic again, leaving a dent in it's head worse than anything Knuckles do. "Down low!" Sonic said on it's foot, which the other foot tried to step on to smash the hedgehog, but again zipping away just in time. Finally, Sonic was at the Collider's centre. "too slow!" He said, as Eggman, acting without thinking, heavily damaged the Collider. But instead it actually scrambled up the code and redirected it to the Nakoniwa Universe. Realising he'd accidentally sabotaged his own operation, Eggman had had ENOUGH. But however, just before he could initiate plan B, just before Tails could finally override the code, JUST before Sonic and Knuckles could land the finisher… the Collider had finished processing, opening up a portal to the Nakoniwa Universe, and sucked everyone into it scattered about diasporically. Trying to claw his way out, Eggman shouted: "I HATE THAT HEDEHOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooog…" so loud it echoed, leaving our heroes and villains stuck in a new location without any explanation and no time for relaxation…
