None of this is good, Vector. That's why it's called "war."


Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic Forces

The War to Take Back the Planet[1] is an event that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It was a global war that occurred in the recent history of earth between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance. The war lasted for a total of six months[2]. Easily one of the largest, if not the largest, conflicts in recorded history, the war was fought over the control of the world after Dr. Eggman launched a campaign for world domination using a new power he had acquired.

After defeating Sonic the Hedgehog, the Eggman Empire began effectively spreading its influence across the globe. To liberate the world from the Eggman Empire's tyranny, the friends and allies of Sonic formed the Resistance and their own army. The ensuing conflict between the Resistance and the Eggman Army marked what became known as the War to Take Back the Planet. However, the Resistance could do little during the early stages of the war, and the Eggman Empire eventually took over more than 99% of the planet within months. It was first during the last days of the war when Sonic, along with new allies, joined the fight that the Resistance began pushing the Eggman Empire back, eventually winning the war altogether. In the aftermath, the Resistance set out to restore the world from the war.

History[]

Prelude[]

SFRoI P2

Eggman discovers the power of the Phantom Ruby, from Sonic Forces: Rise of Infinite.

The genesis of the War to Take Back the Planet began when Dr. Eggman discovered the Phantom Ruby, a gemstone that allowed its wielder to produce virtual reality projections and create Phantom Copies at their beck and call. Soon after discovering the gem, the doctor had a run-in with the Jackal Squad. After defeating them, Eggman took a liking to the squad's captain and convinced him to become the leader of his Eggman Army.[3]

Having seen the Phantom Ruby in action, Eggman went to Angel Island to test its powers. At the same time, Knuckles was visited by Silver, who had come to the present to prevent a calamity that would befall the world in his future, which had become a polluted nightmare where the Eggman Empire ruled and everyone lived in fear.[4] After experiencing Eggman's test on the island, which resulted in an illusion of Pachacamac's village from the past, along with a hostile Chaos, Knuckles and Silver took it as a sign that trouble was coming and headed to earth to prepare for the coming war.[5] Satisfied with the test,[5] Eggman began analyzing the Phantom Ruby in his facility in Mystic Jungle,[6][7] which he had the Jackal Squad guard.[8][9] At that facility, Eggman produced a number of defective Phantom Ruby prototypes,[10] which he used to experiment on.[11] Eventually though, Eggman produced a final version of these prototypes.[11]

A number of months before the War to Take Back the Planet began, Shadow the Hedgehog arrived at Eggman's facility to raid and destroy it.[12] On his mission, Shadow annihilated the Jackal Squad and dealt their captain a humiliating defeat before leaving him to continue his original objective. Outraged at his own weakness and finding he was actually afraid of Shadow, the captain abandoned his old identity and sought to obtain greater strength.[13] This prompted the captain to let Eggman incorporate the final Phantom Ruby prototype into him, granting him the Ruby's powers.[11][13] Eggman's own reasons for doing this was to make himself an instrument of destruction that would allow him to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog and expand his Eggman Empire across the globe.[14] With the Phantom Ruby, Infinite (as the captain called himself from then on) gained the ability to create a limitless number of Phantom Copies.[15] Eggman thus had Infinite create Phantom Copies of Shadow, Zavok, Metal Sonic, and Chaos to bolster the Eggman Army with.

The beginning of the war[]

Eventually, Eggman made his move by attacking the City with the Eggman Army. When Sonic came to save the day, rescuing Tails and several civilians confronted by Eggman and a squad of his Egg Pawns just as they were about to open fire, Infinite and his Phantom Copy allies made their debut. Knowing nothing about the Phantom Copies, the public believed Infinite's Phantom Copies to be the real deal.[16] Infinite and his Phantom Copies proceeded to defeat Sonic, who got imprisoned onboard the rebuilt Death Egg. The public, however, was misled to believe that Sonic had been killed in action by Infinite during the confrontation, shattering their hope of being saved from Eggman's latest plot for world domination with Sonic no longer around to stop him.

With Sonic gone, the Eggman Army quickly spread its influence and took over, initiating a period of wars and chaos. Along the way, cities such as Sunset City got devastated by the Badnik Horde.[17] However, many of Sonic's friends managed to escape Eggman's invasion.[18] Seeking to continue the fight, these individuals formed a rag-tag army named the "Resistance", with Knuckles the Echidna as their commander, to push the Eggman Empire back and free the world from Eggman's encroaching tyranny.

Some time after Sonic was captured, Tails gave the chipers for the Wisps' language to the Resistance before going "solo". As a result, the group was able to ask the aliens that settled onto the planet for help in fighting against the Eggman Empire. The Wisps happily agreed to help, and even allowed themselves to wait in Deployment Pods on the battlefield until Resistance troops could enter an area.[19]

As the Eggman War progressed, villages all around the world would be harassed by the Badnik Horde. Some would turn their buildings into bunkers as defenses while others survived thanks to their fortifications.[20][19]

During the period where Sonic remained imprisoned, multiple units in the Resistance would be aided by a mysterious person who managed to turn the tide of battle. Silver was one of the Resistance soldiers that she saved multiple times. Despite her alignment though, she never joined the Resistance's army. Because of her mysterious nature on the battlefield and saving of various soldiers, she was known among the Resistance soldiers as the "Guardian Angel of the Battlefield".[21][4]

At some point during the Eggman War, during Sonic's imprisonment, the Resistance launched one of their biggest counterattacks against Dr. Eggman's forces by attacking one of his bases in Echo Mine. However, while they were able to liberate a lot of people from the mines that day, they lost a lot of soldiers in the process too.[22]

At one point during the war, Team Chaotix helped fortify the City, which was being held by the Resistance. Its defenses were put to the test a few days later when Eggman attacked the City with an Eggman Army battalion. However, it was thanks to the Avatar, a rookie soldier serving the Resistance, that the Eggman Army retreated.[23] The City was later attacked by Infinite, who wiped out the Resistance battalion defending it. The only survivor was the Avatar, whom Infinite allowed to leave after seeing them run away from him in fear. After that, the Avatar made it to the Resistance's headquarters.

As the months progressed, the Resistance proved unable to halt the Eggman Army's increasing influence, resulting in several places in the world and the outer space surrounding it falling under the influence of the Eggman Empire. In addition, paradisaical locations like Green Hill were destroyed by desertification and then industrialized to serve as a weapons depot, while industrial areas like Chemical Plant were expanded to other regions on the planet, serving as both a chemical factory and a spaceport. Meanwhile, Sonic was kept alive onboard the Death Egg. This was because Eggman wanted Sonic to witness the Eggman Empire in control of the entire world before banishing him into space, ensuring that, with Sonic gone for good, his friends and the Resistance would give into despair and surrender upon their morale hitting rock bottom.

New and old allies join the fight[]

Six months after the War to Take Back the Planet had begun,[24] over 99% of the planet had fallen under the Eggman Empire's dominion, leaving but a few isolated areas in the world under the Eggman Army's control. Worse yet, the Eggman Army had the world's population terrified, leaving very few willing to take up the fight against the Eggman Empire with their morale at such a low level.[25][26]

ResistanceCheer

Eventually, the Eggman Army overcame the Resistance in Green Hill while Infinite had the Resistance soldiers on the run.[27] Around that time however, just after the Avatar joined the Resistance's ranks, the Resistance's spy discovered that Sonic was alive onboard the Death Egg, prompting them to plan a rescue. After the Resistance stole a space shuttle from the Eggman Empire at the Chemical Plant's Spaceport to rescue Sonic with however, Eggman got wind of the Resistance's plan and moved Sonic's execution ahead of schedule. The Avatar and other Resistance troops were thus immediately sent to the Death Egg to rescue Sonic. There, the Avatar caused enough of a ruckus for Sonic to escape his cell, thereby allowing him to beat the Zavok Phantom Copy and its Death Queen coming for him and link up with the Avatar, who took Sonic back to the planet. There, Sonic joined the Resistance, giving them renewed hope, who quickly put him into the swing of things by sending him on a mission with the Avatar to destroy one of the Eggman Army's ammunition factories. In no time at all, Sonic and the Avatar ensured the factory's destruction, thereby improving the Resistance's chances for a successful attack on Eggman's HQ.[28]

While the Resistance carried out their jailbreak, Tails, who operated on his own after witnessing Sonic's defeat by Infinite and his Phantom Copies, came across Classic Sonic, who had been brought to the present by the Phantom Ruby, when the latter saved him from a Chaos Phantom Copy after Tails was unable to restore a badly-damaged E-123 Omega. Reasoning that Classic Sonic was here to save the world, Tails joined up with him to end the war by going after Eggman, while also figuring out a way to get Classic Sonic back to the past.[29]

Warfare on a global scale[]

The Eggman Army soon struck back by attacking the local Resistance squads in Mystic Jungle with aerial bombardments, setting the Resistance back. During the attack, Infinite gathered the Phantom Ruby prototypes from Eggman's abandoned lab so they could not be used against him. While there, he had a brief scuffle with Sonic, who came to the Mystic Jungle to stop Infinite, and Silver. Although Infinite beat both of them, he let them live in the belief that they were not worth killing. Soon after this encounter, Tails and Classic Sonic found Eggman and Infinite in Green Hill while they were disposing of the Phantom Ruby prototypes. There, the heroes heard the villains mention a plan that would ensure the Eggman Empire's victory in the war. After the villains parted ways, Classic Sonic beat up Eggman, who managed to get away, although not before warning him and Tails that the Resistance would be erased in just three days.

Soon after, the Eggman Army broke into the City.[30] With the Resistance's soldiers spent on an attack at Seaside Hill,[31] the Avatar was sent to evacuate the City's civilians. Thanks to the Avatar's subsequent efforts, the Eggman Army was forced into retreat by the Resistance for the time being.[32] In the meantime, after learning that Sonic was alive, Tails and Classic Sonic went to Mystic Jungle to find Sonic and tell him about Eggman's plan. Having detected Classic Sonic and Tails' life readings in Mystic Jungle, the Resistance sent the Avatar to investigate them. There, they found a Phantom Ruby prototype left behind by Infinite that he had dropped during his earlier scuffle with Silver, before finding Tails and Classic Sonic. These two were brought to resistance HQ, allowing Tails to joyfully reunite with Sonic, where they then joined the group and informed them of Eggman's plan. In the meantime, the Resistance managed to free Mystic Jungle from the Eggman Empire's dominion.

It was not long before the Eggman Army attacked the Resistance with an army of Death Egg Robots and the Shadow Phantom Copy in the City again.[16][33] Coming to everyone's rescue, Sonic confronted the Shadow Phantom Copy while the Resistance kept the Death Egg Robots in check.[33] It was then that the real Shadow showed up and took out his Phantom Copy. Joining the Resistance, Shadow informed the group of the Eggman Army's usage of Phantom Copies through Infinite's Phantom Ruby prototype.

Learning that Eggman's HQ in Metropolis was undermanned, the Resistance launched a full-scale attack on Metropolis, called "Operation Big Wave", in an attempt to win the war.[34] However, the attack got thwarted when Infinite used his powers to plunge the Resistance's army into chaos. Suffering huge casualties,[35] the Resistance was forced to withdraw from Metropolis. In the aftermath, the Avatar had a brief fight with Infinite when they came across him. In the end, the Avatar survived the confrontation when Infinite left on a whim, choosing to let the Resistance live since their fates were sealed in two days' time.

Target: The Phantom Ruby[]

After their defeat in Metropolis, the Resistance found it necessary to uncover the secrets of the Phantom Ruby. Discovering a lead on the Ruby in Eggman's database at the Chemical Plant, Tails and Classic Sonic went there to check it out. In the meantime, Eggman began the process of upgrading Metal Sonic into Neo Metal Sonic, who was to be the doctor's greatest weapon for the inevitable confrontation. As an added bonus, Eggman gave Neo Metal Sonic his bio-data in the form of his vision, genius and ambition. In the meantime, Eggman had phantoms of Metal Sonic fight in the robot's stead.[4]A suped-up Metal Sonic Phantom Copy surfaced in the City, along with Death Egg Robots. However, Sonic and the Avatar were able to stop them. This allowed the Resistance to remove the Eggman Army from power in the City completely.

Returning to the Resistance with info on the Phantom Ruby in tow, Tails revealed that the Ruby required an incredible amount of energy, which only the Death Egg could provide, to work. As such, the Resistance's next objective became to destroy the Death Egg. To accomplish this, the Resistance first had the Avatar create a distraction at Guardian Rock to divert the Eggman Army's attention, resulting in the Avatar taking down the Death Crab; in the process of accomplishing this, they also ensured that Green Hill got freed from the Eggman Empire by the Resistance. With the Eggman Army distracted, Sonic invaded the Network Terminal and used its computers to shut down the Death Egg's weapons systems; Sonic's efforts likewise ensured that the Resistance was able to capture the Chemical Plant. Classic Sonic subsequently invaded the defenseless Death Egg to destroy it from within. Although the Death Egg was soon brought back online under auxiliary power,[36] Classic Sonic still accomplished his mission. The Death Egg's destruction also liberated outer space from Eggman's influence. After that, Eggman and Infinite retreated to Metropolis to re-mobilize their forces.

Believing they had rendered the Phantom Ruby powerless, the Resistance launched a second attack on Metropolis so they could capture Eggman and win the war.[37] While covered by the Resistance's fleet,[38] Sonic and Tails located Eggman, only for Infinite to appear with his powers intact and banish both Sonic and the Avatar to Null Space when the Avatar tried to rescue Sonic from the vortex. It was then revealed that the Phantom Ruby had a backup power supply underneath the Eggman Empire Fortress. Using their combined powers however, Sonic and the Avatar were able to return to Metropolis, just as the Resistance's fleet had the Eggman Army and Egg Fleet in Metropolis on the ropes.[39] In the end, Eggman and his forces withdrew from Metropolis, giving the Resistance control over Eggman's capital.

Shortly before the Eggman War ended, the mercenaries Rough the Skunk and Tumble the Skunk saved Barricade Town from Eggman's forces. However, they soon after tricked the residents into letting them into their town, which they then took over for themselves. With Badniks continuing to stalk the town from the outside, the residents were trapped in their town and forced to obey Rough and Tumble.[19]

The decisive battle for the planet[]

Having less than an hour left before Eggman's endgame is put into effect, the Resistance launched an attack at the Eggman Empire Fortress, the last remaining stronghold and heart of the Eggman Empire, in an attempt to reach and stop the Phantom Ruby's power source. There, hundreds of Phantom Copies of Shadow, Zavok, Chaos and Metal Sonic faced the Resistance's ground troops while the Egg Fleet engaged the Resistance's fleet in the sky. During the battle, E-123 Omega came to the Resistance's aid when Infinite attacked them. Tired of the opposition, Infinite decided to put Eggman's endgame into effect immediately by creating a virtual sun over the planet to drop on the Resistance, intending to wipe them all out in a single stroke. However, the sun was undone by the Avatar with the Phantom Ruby prototype they had found, giving the Resistance another chance to finish the Eggman Army.

While the battle raged on, Sonic went after Infinite, with the Resistance's fleet providing him and his allies with cover for as long as they were able to before being forced into retreat by the Egg Fleet. During the subsequent showdown between Sonic and Infinite, the Avatar came to Sonic’s aid and helped him defeat Infinite for good. With Infinite's Phantom Ruby moving underground towards its reactor however,[40][41] the Resistance began looking for a way into the fortress. After Classic Sonic found a secret passage, Sonic and the Avatar used it to enter the fortress and destroy the backup power reactor for the Phantom Ruby. However, Eggman had anticipated this, and thus had the original Phantom Ruby incorporated into his Death Egg Robot, allowing him to bolster the Eggman Army by creating thousands of Phantom Copies for it. Just as Eggman made his appearance in the Death Egg Robot to crush the Resistance however, Sonic, Classic Sonic, and the Avatar joined forces and confronted the Death Egg Robot, which they managed to destroy after a long battle. With its destruction, the Eggman Army lost all its Phantom Copies, rendering it defunct, leaving the Resistance as the victors of the War to Take Back the Planet.

IDW Publishing[]

In Sonic the Hedgehog and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing, the War to Take Back the Planet (referred to as the Eggman War[21] or just The War[20]) was an event that took place in the recent past. In the aftermath of Dr. Eggman's defeat at the end of the Eggman War, the doctor vanished.[42] However, efforts were made to track him down and have him stand trial for his crimes.[43] Dr. Eggman's disappearance also meant that his now leaderless Badnik Horde, which was scattered throughout the world during the War, would continue wandering aimlessly and attack anything it came across, although these attacks seemed to be more accidental than aggression-based.[20][42]

Despite the Eggman War having ended, the world was left in a terrible mess from it and Dr. Eggman, As such, the Resistance set out to restore the world to how it was before the Eggman War.[20][19] With the unexpectedly large and directionless Badnik army getting in the way however, the Resistance began working to finish the fight more effectively by operating from a more centralized, organized position.[20] Later, after the Resistance disbanded,[44] the clean-up efforts were taken over by the Restoration.[45][46]

Eventually, Metal Sonic's upgrade into Neo Metal Sonic was finished. Learning of the outcome of the Eggman War, Neo Metal Sonic assumed leadership over the Eggman Empire in order to ensure its reign would remain unbroken. Neo Metal Sonic then began plotting to reconquer the world in Eggman's likeness using his shapeshifting abilities and find his creator so Eggman could reassume his position as ruler of the Eggman Empire without anyone being the wiser.[47] Approximately a month after the Eggman War had ended, Neo Metal Sonic began making his move by taking control of the wayward Badnik Horde, which he directed into a series of attacks on different villages. This prompted Sonic to travel around and stop the Badnik attacks with the aid of old and new allies.[20][2][42][19] Soon after, Neo Metal Sonic launched a takeover of Angel Island and its Master Emerald, but he was defeated by Sonic and the Resistance.[4][19][47][48][49][50]

Eventually, Eggman turned up in Windmill Village, having lost his memory and personality after his defeat at the end of the Eggman War, where he became a friendly handyman. After he was discovered, Sonic and various parties decided to let Eggman live out his days as the person he had become.[43][51] However, due to the efforts of Dr. Starline, Eggman regained his memories and old persona, and began an even deadlier plan for conquering the world.[44]
