It was a quiet time deep in the jungle of the Mystic Ruins. The peaceful scenery and the beautiful sounds of nature really brings the beauty of the jungle. In the local watering pond, a beautiful feline in a light blue two-piece bikini is swimming underwater looking at the marine life. Her fur is black with purple tribal markings over her beautiful body, her soft eyes are blue, and her princess-like long hair is black. She loves swimming underwater, which is weird because cats hate water. As she was swimming, she sees a fishing line got caught on a rock. She goes to the line and unhooks it from the rock. She swims up to the surface and starts to breath in some fresh air. She wipes some water from her eyes and sees a big cat with a fishing pole and a frog at his side. She chuckles to see it was her friend Big the Cat. "Oh...hello, Ryoko," said Big with a smile. "Hey, Big. Your line was caught on the rock again," said Ryoko with a chuckle. He rubs his and said "Sorry. It's like the 15th time this month." "It's ok, Big. No harm, no foul. I just don't want you get upset for not catching any fish," said Ryoko, "hold on for a minute, Big." She takes a deep breath and dives back under the water. A few seconds later, she comes back up with a big fish for him. "Here you go, Big. A big, juicy fish for you to enjoy," said Ryoko as she hands him the fish. "Thank you, Ryoko," said Big as he bows at her, "come on, Froggy. Let's head home." Froggy ribbits as he hops on Big's head and they heads home. She smiles as she swims to the other side of the watering pond and climbs out of it. She gets her towel and starts to dry herself off. "A nice lovely dip in the pond of a quiet jungle. Such a purrrrr-fect day," said Ryoko as she gathers her items, slips on her sandals and heads off to her home.
On the other side of Mystic Ruins, Sonic is sitting at Tails' Workshop as Tails was busy working on their bi-plane, the Tornado. After defeating the evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik, aka Dr. Eggman, they are enjoying their much need vacation. "Man, I can't believe it, Tails. This is like the millionth time we've beaten Eggman," said Sonic as he was eating his chilli dog. "Yeah, but despite all the times we do beat him, he always comes up with a new evil plan. We need to be on our toes if he does bring one to us, Sonic," said Tails as he was tighting the bolts of the Tornado's engine. "Don't worry, Tails. I have Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, Blaze, Amy and the others to relay the infomation to us if Eggman is cooking up trouble again. Until then, let's just enjoy this day, buddy," said Sonic as he takes another bite out of his chilli dog. He shakes his head as he went back to working on the Tornado.
In the home of Ryoko, she was sitting in her living room doing her meditation sessions. Her clothing is a red track pants, white gloves, red sneakers and an orange tank top. "Release the locks of worldly possessions. We starts from nothing and we return to nothing..." said Ryoko in a trance. Just then, her computer starts to ding. She gets up and heads to her computer. She cuts in on and sees something going into the temple. A closer look and it appears to be a robot. "A robot? It must be one of Eggman's robots. If it's here, then Eggman's not far behind. I better head over there just in case there's trouble," said Ryoko as she starts to head out of her home to the temple.
In the temple, a robotic worker is exploring the temple looking for something for Dr. Eggman to take over the world. It's metalic body is a mixture of red and yellow, Dr. Eggman's trademark colors, and it's eyes are green. It's weapon is a modified blaster which is powerful enough to break the toughest rock. "Dr. Eggman, this is E-297 Alpha reporting in," said the robot using his built in com radio. "This is Eggman. I'm reading you loud and clear, Alpha," said Eggman on the other line. "I'm in the temple as you ordered me to. Also, I've made sure that Sonic & his friends didn't follow me," said Alpha. "Excellent! Now go to the Inner Sanctum at the bottom of the ruin. My readings have perdicted a powerful energy source that could help me take over the world," said Eggman. "Understood," said Alpha as he heads deeper into the temple. Unknown to Alpha, Ryoko was hiding behind the corner and looking at Alpha. "Yup, it's definitely one of Eggman's bots. I don't know what's Eggman up to, but it can't be good. I better follow that hunk of junk," said Ryoko as she starts to follow Alpha.
Back at Tails' Workshop, Sonic was about to take a nap when Tails came in and screamed "Sonic! Eggman's warship is coming!" He get up and heads outside to see the Egg Carrier flying over the workshop. "What's Eggman up to now?" asked Sonic. "I don't know but let's follow it, Sonic," said Tails. "Let's juice, Tails," said Sonic as he dashes away with his trademark speed. "Wait up, Sonic," said Tails as he uses his twin tails to catch up.
In the Inner Sanctum of the temple, Alpha comes in the sees a giant black emerald in the middle of the room. He goes to the emerald and use his scaner to scan the contents of the emerald. He sees something moving inside the emerald and is saying something in ancient tongue that his databanks couldn't decipher. "Eggman. Alpha here. I've located the source of the readings. There's a giant black emerald in here," said Alpha on the . "Really? Hmm...I thought the Master Emerald is the only giant emerald in the world and the bothersome echidna is guarding that. Is anyone guarding it?" asked Eggman. He looks around and said "Negitive. It seems to be no other lifeform here to protect it." "This is too perfect! I'll come in and get the emerald. Make sure no one goes near it before I get there," said Eggman. "Understood," said Alpha as he starts to put up some markers around the emerald. Ryoko sneaks behind a giant rock and looks on. "I don't know what it's doing, but it's not going to take the emerald to Eggman," said Ryoko as she starts to plan of attack. But before she can do anything, Alpha's systems alerted him of an intruder. "Intruder detected. Executing extermination protocals," said Alpha as he starts firing at the rock that Ryoko is hiding. She jumps out in the open and dodges Alpha's shots. "Dang it! This is so uncool!" screamed Ryoko as she keeps dodging. "Scanning...Scanning...Species: Feline. IQ: 278. Testing combat experience..." said Alpha as he stops shooting and goes in for hand-to-hand combat. Ryoko sees this and starts fighting Alpha with her fists and kicks. A 9th degree black belt in Tai Chi fighting style, she was giving Alpha a run for his money. His metal body is now got fist imprints from her attacks and he backs away from her. "Combat experience: Very high. Data collected. Resuming fight," said Alpha as he starts combing hand-to-hand and shooting his blaster at her. She dodges his attacks and counterattacks him with her own. Before Alpha was critcally damanged, Ryoko was caught in a net that was fired from above. "Hey! What gives?!" screams Ryoko as she tries to free herself from the net. Dr. Eggman come down in his floating Eggmobile with a crane on the bottom and said "I should be asking you that, feline!" She looks at him and said "Dr. Eggman!" "The one and only. I'm surprised that the blue hedgehog isn't the one that's giving Alpha a run for his money," said Eggman as he looks at the damage Alpha sustain, "hmm...by the looks of the damage, you really did a number on him." "Systems engine output at 50% and dropping..." said Alpha as some sparks starts to come from him. "You are in need of some repairs and a few upgardes," said Eggman as he lower the crane and grabs the emerald. "You won't get away with this, Eggman!" screamed Ryoko. "Foolish feline. Who's going to stop me?" asked Eggman as he laughing hard. Sonic comes in with Tails and said "Long time no see, Egghead!" "You again?! Well, no matter. I got what I've came for! Alpha! Smokescreen!" screamed Eggman. "Understood!" screams Alpha as he fires smoke pellets to fill the whole room with black smoke. As Sonic, Tails & Ryoko was coughing because of the smoke, Eggman and Alpha got away with the emerald. Once the smoke clears up, Eggman, Alpha and the emerald is gone. "Great. He got away," said Sonic as he kicks up some dirt. "Yeah, but I wonder why he got that emerald? This is strange," said Tails in a calm voice. "Um, hello? Alittle help here?" asked Ryoko as she was still trap in the net. Sonic and Tails helps Ryoko out of the net and she said "Thank you. I would have stop them if it wasn't for the net." "What's going on here? Also, who are you?" asked Sonic. "I'll explain everything to you and your fox friend. But for now, let's go to my home. I have my notes and research on the Black Emerald, the one Eggman got away with," said Ryoko. Sonic and Tails both nod as they follow Ryoko to her home to get some information on the Black Emerald.
