The Death Egg Mark 2 was a newer version of the previous Death Egg created years later by Dr. Eggman. While concealed as the EggDome, it served as Eggman's base of operations following the destruction of New Megaopolis and was occupied by the Iron Dominion's forces during its takeover. After Eggman resumed control, weeks of repairs were performed until its body was deemed flight-worthy. With a Chaos Emerald powering it's main reactor, the Death Egg Mk II was successfully launched into the sky and situated itself over New Mobotropolis as Operation: Clean Sweep was initialized. During phase 1 of the plan, the Death Egg remained mostly unused as Dr. Eggman's memory had been affected and the station had been greatly drained of power, requiring time to recharge. After Sonic restored reality to normal, Eggman attempted to use its main weapon to Roboticize the entire planet regardless, but Sally Acorn sabotaged the process and severely damaged the Death Egg at great personal cost. Crippled and low on power, Eggman launched diversionary measures while the Death Egg retreated, and made a final attempt to wipe out the city that was foiled.

HistoryEdit

Hiding in Plain SightEdit

In the aftermath of Enerjak's decimating attack on New Megaopolis, the EggDome was the only structure left relatively intact. With the Death Egg's lower levels concealed below ground, Eggman made use of it as an emergency bunker and operation center for himself and his Dark Egg Legion. While the doctor did put a concentrated effort into building up the EggDome, his obsession with Sonic the Hedgehog and his increasing decline in sanity had an obvious impact on the structure as it became more sloppy overall and left unfinished. Even after the EggDome was invaded by the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix, Eggman's breakdown, the Iron Queen's occupation, and numerous investigations by Sonic, the true nature of the structure being the Death Egg was kept a well-hidden secret to all but Dr. Eggman himself.

The Death Egg ReturnsEdit

See also: Operation: Clean Sweep

Once Eggman escaped and regained control of his Eggman Empire, he went into hiding with Snively and his Legionnaires in the lower levels of the EggDome and sealed them off. They then began working at a feverish pace over the following weeks, repairing the EggDome and preparing it to be flight-worthy. At the same time, the doctor mobilized other Dark Egg Legion chapters with orders to construct giant refueling stations for his airship. After the structural repairs were finished, Dr. Eggman and Snively used the last remaining power from New Megaopolis' ruins to venture into the Special Zone and retrieved a Chaos Emerald for its primary power source. With the preparations complete, Dr. Eggman launched the Death Egg Mark 2, destroying the last remnants of his city doing so. (FCDS: #4,StH: #212, #215, #218, #223, #224)

While Sonic battled Ixis Naugus, the Death Egg appeared above New Mobotropolis to everyone's shock. Naugus agreed to a truce with the Freedom Fighters, and then attacked the Death Egg by trying to crystallize and control it, only to be surprised when it resisted his magic via an internal matrix of Power Rings lining the hull. While the Tornado and Freedom Fighter Special were kept back by its laser array, Dr. Eggman allowed Sonic and Sally to infiltrate the ship where they were then attacked by Silver Sonic v3.0. After realizing Eggman was just stalling them, Sally went to find him but was shot dead by a hidden cannon. Dr. Eggman then fired his new weapon, starting Operation: Clean Sweep. (ASB, StH: #224, #225)

GenesisEdit

In the altered reality, the Death Egg hovered over Mobius just outside of the atmosphere. Though Eggman and Snively continued with their plan, they could not immediately remember what the first part of it was or the Death Egg's purpose. Eventually, Eggman realized that firing the weapon that caused Operation: Clean Sweep drained most of the battle station's power, and required they use all seven Chaos Emeralds to recharge it. In addition, Eggman remembered that once recharged, the Death Egg Mark 2 would be able to "robotize" the whole planet in one shot, which would make everything his robot slave and the current reality shifts permanent. (StH: #226, #228, #229)

When Eggman retreated from the Metropolis Zone, Sonic chased him back to the Death Egg and confronted his Giant Mech on the lower decks. During the battle, they did severe damage to the Death Egg until not even its "robotizing weapon" could prevent reality from breaking down. This forced Super Sonic to access as much energy from the Chaos Emeralds as possible, and performed Chaos Control in order to turn back time and reset the world again. (StH: #229)

Weapons Of Mass DestructionEdit

With the world restored, the "Cosmic Reset Button" that launched Operation: Clean Sweep failed to work due to Sonic, who also rescued Sally. Once in the lower levels of the Death Egg, they found a Roboticizer that Robotnik planned to use on the whole planet and either roboticize everyone, or destroy everything mechanical including G.U.N., the entire United Federation, New Mobotropolis, and all the Dark Egg Legion. Sonic soon found himself fighting Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic again, acting as a distraction for Sally and Nicole while they tampered with the Roboticizer's firing. Left with no other options, Sally inverted the beam to her exact spot as Robotnik ordered the Roboticizer to be fired. (StH: #230)

This lead to an explosion that rocked the battle station, leaving it severely damaged and the Roboticizer destroyed. The most shocking results however, were Sally's roboticization and the mysterious disappearance of Eggman's Chaos Emerald. Robotnik then ordered the Death Egg to withdraw, and deployed Project "Titan" and Project "Deadly Cuddles" as distractions while readying a parting shot from the Egg Annihilator Beam in a last attempt to destroy the city. Unfortunately, Project Titan was crystalizied by Naugus' magic and was used to block the beam, destroying it in the process. Project Deadly Cuddles however, was picked up by Cream in the confusion in New Mobotropolis. With the attacks nulled and no Chaos Emerald left, the crippled and low-powered Death Egg Mark 2 made a slow retreat. (StH: #230, #231)

The Death Egg Mark 2 returned while Elias Acorn and his family were relocating from New Mobotropolis with the Knothole Freedom Fighters acting as their escorts. After releasing drop-pods filled with Egg Swats, Eggman then launched Metal Sonic along with an upgraded and weaponized Mecha Sally. Later on in the battle, Eggman ordered that Metal Sonic latch onto the Mobo-Cruiser and self destruct, but Antoine went after Metal Sonic and held on to it, Eggman then demand Metal Sonic be detonated right then and there, catching Antoine in the center of the explosion and critically injuring him. Despite Elias and his family escaping, Eggman is thrilled to have taken down one of the Freedom Fighters and has the Death Egg and Mecha Sally retreat. (StH: #234)

Terror AbroadEdit

Later on the Death Egg Mark 2 attacked Furville, having captured the population for Roboticization and Legionization. As his robots and Mecha Sally wreak havoc, Team Fighters appears and destroys the Doctor's platoon of Egg Swats, their courage causing many civilians to fight for their town as well. Orbot mentions that their fuel and supplies are low and that they have to reach their base in Shazamazon. Eggman furiously retreats, leaving some of his own troops behind to keep Sonic at bay and has the Death Egg escapes once more. (StH: #236)
