|Prologue|

Hey, there, peoples! The Dude with the ‘Tude is here! This is the story of the first battle between me and Dr. Eggman (I like to refer to him as “Dr. ‘Rotten’ Eggman). Now, listen up! Tails is in here, but he isn’t even old enough to talk. That’s how long ago it was. Also, I guess I owe Eggman something. Apparently, Tails’s exposure to him is what sparked his mechanical genius. (Interjection from author: Some names are changed around so this doesn’t sound like a game.) Enough gab. Let’s move!

It all started here. Green Hill. As the name suggests, this place is filled with plants. Only, something hadn’t been right that day. For instance, the sky was empty of Flickies. Everything reeked of oil. And there didn’t seem to be any plants around. So Tails and I kept going through the hills, farther than I’ve ever been before.

Suddenly, the oil smell was as strong as ever. “Yuk,” said Tails, while holding his nose. I said,” Yeah, I agree with you.” We found the source of the smell and jumped a mile out of our skins. A robot was sitting there, ready to attack.

I thought fast. Maybe I could bowl this thing over with my Spin Dash, I thought. I gave it a try. Shrapnel flew everywhere as I rolled right through it. In the robot’s place, a flicky stood. “ Flicky!”, Tails exclaimed. “Ohhhhh… that’s better. Thanks , Sonic! I really didn’t mean to startle you like that, but those badnik-“ “Hold it,” I said,” what’s a badnik?” The flicky replied,” a badnik is a robot that is built for Dr. Eggman’s own evil purposes. As I was saying, that badnik casing controls the battery animal’s mind. I didn’t mean to be attacking you.” “No prob,” I said. The flicky then flew off.

Hmm, Dr. Eggman, where have I heard that name before?, I thought. After that, I abandoned the idea and kept going. I kept freeing the flickies as I went along. Tails seemed to be lost in thought. I didn’t even think about what he migth have been thinking. The same settings kept going on. Suddenly, I screeched to a halt. I looked down over the edge of the cliff (that was why I stopped) and saw a whole bunch of spikes. Big ones. I nearly collapsed at the thought of my stopping too late and getting a spiky death. I knew that Eggman had to do with this, whoever he was. I turned around to Tails, feeling silly because I half-expected him to have an idea. As a matter of fact, he did.

All the while, Tails had gathered enough loose spikes (eeeh!) and found some way to make a chain saw. Before I could ask, he ran to the nearest tree and sawed it down.

CRACKKKK! The tree went down and made a bridge across the crevasse. “Thanks,” I said. “Welcome!,” exclaimed Tails. I was still puzzled about how he had managed to get the idea. We kept going, with no more spike pit trouble. I noticed that Tails seemed to be gathering rocks out of interest. I smiled at the thought. In a few seconds, though, that smile would fade away.

Two miniature plateaus stood there in a menacing way. I heard the whirr of engines running. Suddenly a spherical pod came hovering in. In it was the fattest man I have ever seen. But it didn’t stop there. A huge ball on the end of a chain lowered from the pod. Apparently, he wanted to knock our brains out with it. Then it hit me. This was Eggman and he wanted us out of his plans.

I jumped up and hit it instinctively. Tails had used his rocks and a piece of tough grass as a sling. Together, our joint efforts drove him out.

After we both got our breath back, I noticed a capsule looming in the distance. I jumped on the switch-thingy on top and it burst apart. A whole bunch of flickies flew off.

After seeing the last one off , I noticed that the hills had stopped and was replaced by lava-filled ruins. Maybe , I thought, this is the Marble Ruins. Tails gave me an agreeing look, as if he knew what I was thinking. We went on, leaving the Green Hills and exploring the Marble Ruins.
