"Robotnik took his knowledge of Chaos and robotics and formed a company to provide these wonders to the world. Being the sole producer of Chaos, he quickly gained wealth and power. However, he was never seen as corrupt, except by one man, a reporter named Nickolas Kineda, who would never stop in his quest to prove that Robotnik was in fact the dreaded techno-terrorist called Eggman.

"No one believed Kineda, not even I did. I was a Chaos miner for Robotnik. At least, I was, until Kineda was proven right, and Robotnik--Eggman--unleashed a robotic army of destruction upon the world.

"Now, I've joined Kineda and others in the fight to end Eggman's reign of terror. And no matter the pain, the suffering; no matter the defeats; no matter what happens, I will stop him.

"My name is Maurice Takeshi.

"But everyone calls me, 'Sonic.'"
