Hi everybody…we must remember that everybody's mortal…even the bravest hero and the most evil scientist can get ill sometimes…takes place in the Sonic X scenario

STILL MORTAL

"Achoo!"

"Oh?" Decoe turned to his master "have you got a cold Eggman-san?" he asked again while the other robot grinned

"CHECK-MATE!" Bocoe chirred while the other sighed

"Damn it…and I thought I was winning" Decoe said again while looking at his King.

"That's what you get for being over confident" Bokkun said with his high-pitched voice making a chill run down Eggman's spine

"THAT'S RIGHT!" Eggman suddenly said, getting up "great idea Bokkun!" Eggman said again leaving

"Idea?" Bokkun asked with uncertainty

All the robots looked at each other without understanding the situation

'Sure…if Sonic is overconfident in his own abilities, I'll draw him near the ocean…I know he can't swim'

While Eggman thought about a new plan to get rid of the blue nuisance, said one was running outside his base.

The blue blur came at an abrupt stop, taking in the wonderful view before him

"Wow…" Sonic said, the sunset was beautiful that evening. It made the water of the ocean more orangish than usual and sent small bolts of warmth to Sonic's body…warmth well accepted in this days of an incoming winter

"Oh well…guess I'll go back" Sonic said to himself while speeding in the distance, probably heading for Chris' home

Just a few hours later…

Eggman returned from another lost fight against Sonic, his moustache trembling in the air.

Sure, when Sonic defeated him he could return to his friends. He would get cakes, warm tea and a friendly environment and what would the doctor get?

Only creeping cold through his ragged clothes, still burning in some places thanks to the explosion that destroyed his 1000th ship!

"Darn it!" the doctor said, his breath visible in the cold, and it was starting to snow too.

His vision was blind thanks to said snow suddenly falling really fast.

From his base, the robots saw his shadow

"Hey, Decoe! Someone's coming" Bocoe said while the other reached the monitors too

"Maybe it's the doctor" Decoe said

"Wait! The last time he sent us in the 'robo-boiler' for a week because we let those gun agents get in by mistake remember?" Decoe said again while the other shuddered

"You're right! How can I forget? I wasn't able to talk for a month after that! All that sticky thing in my mouth!" Bocoe answered

"And the doctor ALWAYS returns in his mech! He's never without it!" Decoe said again as Bokkun entered, sweets of all kinds in his hands

"It's an enemy then! Fire the missiles!" Bokkun said while the others looked at him

"And who said you're in charge?" Bocoe asked while his companion nodded

"Because I say so! And now, fire!" Bokkun said again

Again sweets getting to his head

Bocoe and Decoe fired all their weaponry at the seemingly-nemesis making the other cry out

"WAIT! IT'S ME! OH-DARNIT!" Eggman said while hiding behind a tree, waiting for the attack to cease.

After some time

Eggman was currently in a forest near his base with a fire to warm himself up…he couldn't believe he couldn't return to his base…his luck had surely gone down fast.

He tried two more times to get near, but each time he was attacked by his own robots that, not recognizing the doctor thanks to the storm, attacked at everything they saw

'Well…damn' the doctor thought while sitting near the small fire

-SOMEPLACE ELSE-

"Oh Sonic?" Amy called while his friend looked at her from the couch "you want another fill of soup?" she said as the other nodded

"Yeah, thanks!" Sonic said with a thumb up "this day was chaotic" Sonic added

"Totally" Tails came in from the door with iced-tails

"Well, this is winter" Chris added with a nervous-smile

"Here!" Amy and Ella came in with said soup

"Thanks" Sonic said again while eating his meal gleefully

Amy smiled and return in the kitchen along with Ella while Sonic looked outside, taking in the sight of the whitened city

In the late evening

"I'll go run for a bit" Sonic said while Chris turned

"Are you crazy? Ok that the storm has ceased but it's really cold outside" Tails said

"Yeah! What if you get ill?" Amy butted in

"Hey chill guys! I'm sonic the hedgehog. What can possibly happen? Besides, Eggman's down for the count and won't show up again for a couple of days" Sonic explained

"Yes but that's not a good reason to-"Amy tried but Sonic had already disappeared making Chris laugh

"Well, you can't stop HIM from running" the child said, sitting back down with Cream and Cheese beside him, watching a movie.

"Hey! Aren't you worried?" Amy asked the two-tailed-fox who was currently working with Chuck

"Not really…like Chris said, you can't stop him" Tails pointed out, getting back to work

"DAH! And here I thought we could spend sometime together…" Amy said, walking away "and go somewhere…maybe to get some ice-cream…" she finished, small hearts spreading around her figure at the thoughts while Tails and Chris looked at each other astonishingly

Finally Sonic could run again in the city.

The snowstorm had been pretty powerful. Many programs were interrupted, reporting news of houses destroyed, fallen trees and full rivers.

Sonic stopped at an house. It was all broken and men were looking for any survivors under what remained of said building.

"Damn" one exclaimed "we can't move this! It's too heavy" he finished as Sonic magically appeared next to him

"Leave it to me!" he said cockily as the other thanked him and stepped aside

After seconds of spinning, Sonic emerged from the mess with a sobbing child in his arms

"Here" he said, speeding off with a choir behind him that sounded like 'our hero' or something like that

Meanwhile Eggman had managed to get back to his base and sent his robots to the egg-roboboiler for another week.

How dare they let him outside.

It was then; he heard the news of the child's saving thanks to Sonic

"That hedgehog! Always in the spotlight" he muttered to himself while getting up.

"I'm going to sleep for a bit. I didn't get any sleep last night thanks to those dumbots!" he mumbled again to himself, reaching his sleeping quarters.

He changed and got on the bed, his back cracking in relaxation after a few seconds.

"Finally…" he said while losing his consciousness to a pacific slumber
