Well, Sonic might use his super speed in new and creative ways to outwit Eggman. Maybe he'll discover a new power - up.
Perhaps Sonic will face some moral dilemmas while trying to beat Eggman. He might have to choose between saving a group of innocent bystanders or going straight for Eggman's main control room. This would add more depth to his character. Also, Eggman could have some new and devious traps waiting for Sonic. But Sonic, being Sonic, will surely find a way to overcome them all.
There could also be some new characters introduced in this fanfiction. Maybe a mysterious figure who has some inside knowledge about Eggman's operations. This new character could either help Sonic or cause some trouble depending on their motives. Another possibility is a group of creatures native to the area where the battle takes place. They could be initially scared of Sonic and his friends but then end up helping them in some way.
In this kind of fanfiction, Sonic might be locked in one of Eggman's elaborate traps. Eggman could be planning to use Sonic's speed for his own evil experiments or to finally defeat him once and for all. Sonic would surely try to escape using his wits and speed.
Tails would be the first one to come to Sonic's aid. His intelligence and flying ability would be very useful in finding Sonic and getting past Eggman's defenses.
A really cool Sonic and Eggman fanfiction could be set in an alternate universe. In this universe, Sonic is not the hero he is in the main canon.
