Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman face each other in the chamber, with Eggman, in his Egg Tarantula, telling Sonic that he has been a thorn in his side for 15 years and that it ends today. Sonic just shrugs him off, as the doctor then tells Sonic to not sass him, once again proclaiming himself the most brilliant mind in the history of the world. Sonic merely looks down casually saying "If you say so." Eggman then goes on to say that his word is law because he conquered the entire planet. He asks Sonic if he remembers the old capital, Mobotropolis, fell to him and a matter of minutes. Sonic remembers and tells him that he was five when it happened. Eggman then tells him to remember his ultimate victory when he ground Sonic into the ashes of the Knothole.
