Before we start off, PLEASE remember this is my first fanfic, so I would enjoy it if you left criticism, constructive or not, it doesn't matter. Either way, here is:

The Dark Transference: A Sonic Fanfic

Prologue: The Prototype

"Careful, you fool! I need this to drop in perfectly!" Eggman said as he pushed back an Egg Pawn. The Doctor was working on a new Badnik to defeat Sonic, one that would stop him in a way so maniacal, you wouldn't believe Eggman was the one who made it. He dropped in the final chemical flawlessly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that went great!" Eggman said. He finally fixed up his new creation, and laughed so maniacally that even his largest Badniks quivered with true fear.

"Finally….it's finished. My newest Badnik, Prototype X, or as I shall call it henceforth… the Extractor." As Eggman had finished naming the Extractor, a Motobug came up and asked reluctantly, "What will this creation do, master?"

"I'm glad you asked, Motobug," He replied. "You see, my main purpose is to defeat Sonic, as you may know from my obsession of obliterating him. But, to truly outwit him, I must become as fast as him, or better yet, extract his speed. That's where the Extractor comes in. Using this Buzz Bomber-type demon, I will take Sonic's incredible running ability and make it MINE! ALL MINE! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

As the doctor had finished his explanation, he put the finishing touches on the new Badnik. An impenetrable barrier that not even Knuckles could break. A storage container for when the mechanical mega-wasp sucked out the hedgehog's speed, and finally, the self-destruct button.

"WAIT JUST A MINUTE," An eerie voice from behind Eggman bellowed electronically. "REMOVE THE INFERNAL DEVICE YOU HAVE IMPLANTED WITHIN THE EXTRACTOR." The voice came from Metal Sonic, creepily watching from behind Eggman.

"Oh, yes! The Self-Destruct Button! Yeah, that was a witless idea." Eggman tossed out the Button, reconfigured the rest of the Extractor, and finally, activated the Extractor. The Extractor's eyes flickered on, and a purplish-red light emanated from within. Its enormous wings spread out like an opened umbrella, and it slowly rose upwards towards the ceiling.

Eggman quickly reached for the Remote that controlled this Demon, and brought him back down slowly.

"Now, there's only one more thing I need to do." Eggman said. He smirked with the most devilish look in his eye, and added the TRUE finishing touches on his doomsday device. A Microchip to let him see what the Extractor sees, and finally, if Sonic or any of his friends managed to shatter the shield, venomous vines that reached all over The Extractor's body.

"It's finished. The Era of Sonic will end, and a NEW ERA SHALL RISE! THE ERA OF EGGMAN!" Eggman laughed in a venomous way, and his Badniks all banded together and joined him. However, Eggman didn't have any Idea of what was going to happen the next day.

Later that night, Eggman stored the Extractor away in the basement, while two of his Slicers guarded the sleeping experiment. Eggman finally got ready, and calculated the coordinates of Sonic. He locked on, and sure enough, the hedgehog's exact location, whether Sonic moved or not, would be coded STRAIGHT into the Extractor's mind. Either way, however, the Doctor wouldn't know what to expect the next day.
