History[]
Past[]
For years, the native Sonic has fought his arch nemesis Dr. Eggman and his minions time and time again to keep the doctor from taking over Sonic's World with Eggman failing to achieve anything.[1]
Over the course of these conflicts, Sonic and his allies competed with Eggman and his minions over ownership of the seven Chaos Emeralds several times.[2] Also, every single year on his birthday, Eggman's Badniks would host unwanted birthday parties for Eggman.[1]
Eventually, Eggman rebuilt Heavy King to have him serve as his chief commander. However, Heavy King's programming compelled him to overthrow Eggman and take over the world himself. Eventually, Heavy King took control of Eggman's robots and threw Eggman himself out of his base in Winter Caverns Zone. Heavy King then planned to gather the Chaos Emeralds and use their power to conquer the world with the aid of the Hard Boiled Heavies.[2]
Present[]
Seasons of Chaos[]
Using Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles, Heavy King began collecting the Chaos Emeralds. Becoming aware of the Metals activities, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles teamed up to stop what they thought was another one of Dr. Eggman's schemes. Although the trio left her behind, Amy wanted to help out too, recruiting Mighty and Ray for her adventure. Meanwhile, Eggman hired Fang, Bark and Bean to find the Chaos Emeralds before Heavy King. After trekking across a few Zones during their respective hunts for the Chaos Emeralds, the teams eventually convened and found Eggman, who had been trying to reclaim control over his robots. After then getting an explanation out of Eggman, the teams decided to join forces to stop Heavy King. Making it to Heavy King's base, the assembled teams briefly fought Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles until Eggman took control of them again. Afterward, the united allies faced Heavy King, who used the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to fight them. However, Heavy King was still defeated. Afterward, Eggman took Heavy King back as his minion (although not without promising to upload a patch that would keep him from rebelling). Meanwhile, the others escaped with the Chaos Emeralds, which they divided amongst them to keep Eggman from getting to them, and parted ways.[2]
Sonic Learns to Drive[]

In order to enter Mr. Munch-Um's rally race and win a lifetime supply of chili dogs, Sonic decided to get his driving license. During a driving evaluation supervised by his driving instructor, Kip the Capybara, however, Sonic forgot about his license when he heard that the rally was about to take place. While heading to the rally, however, Dr. Eggman attacked the city, causing the rally to get canceled. Sonic wanted to head out on foot to stop Eggman, but Kip convinced him to take a high-speed detour there in his car.[3]
Dr. Eggman's birthday[]

With Dr. Eggman's birthday having arrived, the Badniks decided to destroy Sonic as their birthday gift to Eggman. However, when Eggman discovered their plan, he called off their attack before they could get themselves destroyed at Sonic's hands. While scolding his Badniks back in his base, however, Eggman softened up a little after hearing their heartfelt reasons for wanting to give him nice things. Afterward, Eggman reluctantly accepted his Badniks' birthday party in his honor.[1]
Amy's New Hobby[]
While Tails was over at Amy's house for lunch, he discovered that Amy had taken up a hobby: making comic books of her and her friends' adventures. Although Amy was unwilling to show her comics to anyone else, as she thought they were not very good, Tails took the initiative by showing them to their friends. Fortunately for a reluctant Amy, her comics were well-received and soon drew in a large gathering of locals. When Sonic later showed up and took at look at them, Amy quickly got distraught. Fortunately, Sonic thought her portrayals of him were awesome and quickly provided her with more material to use by telling her of an encounter he and Tails had with Eggman.[4]
Metal Virus Saga[]

Sometime after the War to Take Back the Planet, Dr. Eggman created virus that can turn organic lifeforms into Zombots known as the Metal Virus. Due to Eggman using his Faceship, it would spread across the entire planet. But it would quickly get out of control. The Deadly Six would take full control over the virus due Dr. Starlinethinking Eggman had no plan in case something went wrong. Upon arriving at Angel Island, Sonic was already mostly covered by the Metal Virus, so he had gone on a quick run around the island while avoiding touching and infecting the flora along the way. Later, Sonic received a treadmill to keep himself running in place. Meanwhile, the Deadly Six took over the Faceship and its Metal Virus production plant. They also empowered themselves with the Chaos Emeralds to control thousands of Zombots around the world with their electromagnetic powers. Forced to flee from the Faceship to Angel Island, Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline met up with Sonic and his crew. There, Eggman explained, after they others pressed him for a cure on the Metal Virus, that in about 200 years, the Zombots and all else infected by the Metal Virus would be gone, as the virus would eventually become unstable. The heroes and villains alike then brainstormed for a solution, and eventually devised a plan to combine Super Sonic's power with the Warp Topaz to warp all of the Metal Virus away in one fell swoop. Meanwhile, the Deadly Six took off to the farthest corners of the world and began using the Zombots to infect everything they came across with the Metal Virus.
Soon after, the heroes and their allies set off to get the Chaos Emeralds from the Deadly Six. While facing the heroes, Zeena and Zomom lost their Chaos Emeralds and thus lost control of all their Zombots. Zeena in particular ended up getting infected by the Metal Virus. Cream, who helped fight Zeena, also got hit by the Metal Virus during the fight, but Gemerl promised to stay by her side until she was well again. In the meantime, Master Zik, Zazz and Zor had their Emeralds taken as well and were thus left at the mercy of the Zombots they could no longer command. Lastly, Rouge caused the Faceship to crash when she stole the Chaos Emerald powering it, thereby destroying its Metal Virus production plant as well. Zavok would use the chaos emerald to transform into Giant Zavok but sonic at the last moment would turn into his Super state with silver. Fortunately, through the combined efforts of Super Sonic and Super Silver the Virus was sent to the sun and eradicated.[5]
