NoLegs: We're in a ruined world capital... Well, it USED to be the world's capital, or close enough to not matter... Well, for this world.
Sonic: Oh, right, not my world. He's a scientist who somehow has the resources to create armies of robots, and he's been trying to build this "Eggmanland" place when he's not trying to take over the world. He sometimes captures animals and in one case aliens to power his machines. I stop him like it's my job or something.

-to Sonic- That's pretty accurate, then. Shinra was the same way.
This is a prime example of what happens when you screw around with magic and science at the same time.
-to Jan- This was the largest, most technologically advanced city in the world, until four years ago.
For the sake of convenience, no. And the sky above Midgar is pretty fucked up, anyway.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistYou mean, of the ruins? Well, not exactly. See, there's Sector 7 — where we're standing right now — which got destroyed two months prior to the big events that took out the city. Sectors 5 and 4 took the most of the attack from Weapon, two months later, as well as the very top of the Shinra tower. Then Meteorfall did about 60% of what you see here, and is responsible for the death toll. Then, er... Sephiroth and I destroyed the rest at the Advent while trying to kill each other. That was two years ago.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistThe dome-shaped things surrounding the city are reactors. They literally sucked the life out of the areas around them. That's why the earth is dead here. It's been getting better, though. -gestures to the tiny patches of green that can be seen far in the distance-

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistSonic: ...On the one hand, Eggman hasn't tried that sort of thing before, though it's not nice around his long term bases... but on the other hand, one of those Eggmanland attempts involved him breaking the planet apart!
And in a way that one was successful - because he DID manage to build Eggmanland!
The Company was planning to build Neo-Midgar at the Promised Land.... That didn't really pan out, though.
How'd he break your Planet apart?
After he built it, I could never really see the point of Sonic not letting him keep it. He wants an Evil-themed amusement park? Sure, let him have it. It'll keep him busy.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistHe built it right on top of the last Temple of Gaia. That's why Sonic had to go in there.
Sonic: It's sort of my fault, for believing that he showed remorse. I still don't know how he managed to drain the Chaos Emeralds to break the planet apart!
It's a CMoA for Eggman, really. He broke the planet apart with a beam. That was powered by the Chaos Emeralds. He got that power by DRAINING SUPER SONIC OF ENERGY. The only other times Snic's been forced out of Super form happen in Sonic 3 & Knuckles - discounting a bug in Sonic 3 on its own, it was Knuckles each time.

Sonic: Divided into sectors? Sounds more like one of Eggman's bases.
