To be honest, I never thought he could get to this level of bad until the war.
[ Eggman had never seemed like that much of a threat before, even with all the close calls they've had over the years. But ever since the war, he'd really been stepping up his game.
She's silent for another moment, running a hand down her face as the memories of the event jumble through her mind. Then she sighs, and actually starts to backtrack a bit. ]
When we'd first gotten word of Eggman coming back, Sonic and I went to an abandoned Eggman base to see if we could hack into his system and figure out what he was up to. We didn't get a chance to find out much before we were interrupted by the goons Starline had hired. These two guys named Rough and Tumble.
They weren't really much of a threat. They weren't too bright, and Sonic was literally running circles around them. [ She laughs faintly, though her expression still remained troubled. ] But they had these packs that Eggman had given them, called them their secret weapons...I don't think even they realized what it was exactly. Because when the tried to activate them, the packs broke and spilled the Metal Virus all over them. Of course, Sonic and I had no idea what it was at the time. All we could do was watch as the stuff spread over them, turning them into robots.
We kept fighting after that, but it was a lot different. Before, we could rile them up and get them to lose their cool, but after they changed they wouldn't say anything. They just kept coming at us. And I was okay, because I had my hammer, but Sonic... [ She squeezes her eyes shut. ] Sonic doesn't fight with any kind of weapons, and he...we didn't know until...
[ She swallows the lump in her throat, before forcing herself to continue. ]
Besides Rough and Tumble...Sonic was one of the first people to get infected with the Metal Virus.
