Egg Fleet (stage)


 * This article is about the stage in Sonic Heroes. For the armada of battleships, see the Eggman Fleet.



The Egg Fleet is the thirteenth stage in Sonic Heroes. Set amidst Dr. Eggman's armada of heavily-armed aerial battleships, this level has the four teams fighting their way across the stratosphere, moving from one battleship to the next and destroying them as they race towards the evil doctor's headquarters, the Final Fortress.

Overview
There is a lot of choices of paths and opportunity for rings, level ups, and lives to be taken in this stage. Journeying through this stage requires the teams traveling across the countless fleets within the Eggman Fleet, with grinding on rails serving as the main passage between minor fleets and propel flight to reach the larger fleets.

The paths in this level is covered with cannon fires, laser grids (Team Chaotix only), several bottomless pits and waves of highly powerful enemies, bringing the player's team skills to the ultimate test. The enemies here are as well the toughest ones yet; E-1008 Falcos flies through the skies while the highly advanced E-2000 robots stand guard over sealed doors, along with Egg Pawns which are out patrolling the decks.

Due to being under almost constant bombardment by the ships' cannons, having the characters stand in one place for too long is not recommended.

Story
After Neo Metal Sonic, disguised as Dr. Eggman, launched the Egg Fleet near Bullet Station and after the four teams passed through Mystic Mansion, the teams have managed to find their way, countless miles up in the air, reaching the edge of space, up to the Egg Fleet to take on the doctor's arieal armada.

As the teams stand on the edge of the fleet, they each stay true to the goals they set when starting this adventure; Even though they ran out of their three-day time limit, Team Sonic is determined to halt Dr. Eggman plans and save the world. Team Dark is going on a manhunt to find Eggman, where Shadow is going to find out who he really is, Rouge to get Eggman's treasure and E-123 Omega to get revenge on his creator. Team Rose are on the lookout for Sonic, Froggy and Chocola, convinced that they must be somewhere within the Egg Fleet. And Team Chaotix are nearing the end of their assignment as they are directed by their client to infiltrate the fleet undetected.
