In King Bowser's palace, high atop the lava-filled mountains in Mushroom Kingdom, the great king stood on a balcony in wait, his eyes glued to the horizon. As every second passed he grew more and more impatient. He was expecting some one to be there at 10:00. He had a right to be mad--The clock just chimed 10:30.
Koopa Kid waddled by to see his dad, then joined him on the balcony.
"He's not here yet?", he squeaked. " He's playing you, dad. Let's Shut down for the night".
"No", Bowser grunted. " Our time is different in his world, so we shall wait. Well, YOU don't have to anyway", he noted." You can go on ahead to bed".
"Nah, I want to see"
Suddenly a figure emerged from the horizon. As Bowser squinted he could take up a rounded figure."OPEN THE GATES!", he shouted to the passing guards.
Moments later, as he stood in the entrance, a familiar man walked towards him, wearing a red suit with black pants. He grunted in thanx to the guards and when he saw Bowser and Koopa bowed in respect.
"King Bowser...Prince Koopa.."
"AH!" the King grinned. " Dr. Ivo Ian Robotnik! Nice to see you!"
"Actually.."the man said , eyes flashing a speck of red"....they call me Dr. Eggman now".

"Eggman, eh? Come in".
He led the way to the throne room.
When they seated, Bowser stared at him with piercing eyes.
"You had a proposal?"
"Yes."
"Let's hear it".
Eggman stood and cleared his throat.
"You have a special abilty, have you not?The ability to sense Chaos?"
"Yes...."
"I need your help to retrive three Chaos Emeralds before my rival and his annoying yet huge Team get them first. Together we can rule both Mobius and the Mushroom Kingdom!"
"Im not so sure. We've never teamed up. In fact I do recall our little incident in Beijing?"
Eggman blushed, trying hard not to recall it .Both of them competed in the swimming race, and when they tied they fought underwater for the gold metal, only to almost drown. "Well, lets try to forget it! It was a year ago!"
King Bowser slowly hesitated.
"What's in it for me, Ivo?"
"I'll get rid of your 4 problems: the two brothers and princesses?"
"You can touch the two brothers anMinutes later....
Bowser, Koopa, and 100 other soldiers stood at the horizon. Eggman stood in front with a purple Chaos Emerald.
"CHAOS CONTROL!!!" he yelled . The emerald rose in the air, and in seconds made a portal big enough to block the sun.
"Go on in" he insisted.
"Move out!", Bowser yelled, and the soldiers disappeared in the portal. A cute female weasel in a nurse suit stared uneasy at the portal. Koopa nudged close.
"It's okay Maple you'll be safe I promise".
Encouraged by his words she leaped in with Koopa following after her.
Bowser and Eggman held each other shoulder to shoulder and walked in just as the portal shrank and disappeared.
Little did they know, while they smiled and plotted for revenge, Mario and Luigi were watching in the woods.
"We have to-a tell Sonic",Mario grunted.
"You sure? We could-a just stay here", Luigi said nervously.
"And let them get away with this? Never! And we will stay in Mobius until our mission is complete!"
"I dont-a know..."
"But Luigi..." Mario sighed, giving him puppy dog eyes. "Sonic's my buddy! Sure, we were rivals when we first met, but after the Olympic Games we really got to know each other well!He is my friend! My amigo! My best man for when I marry Peach!"
"No!"
"Puh-llllleeeeeeaaaasssseeee?"
(*sigh*) "Damn it, I hate when you give me those eyes. Okay, I'll go."
"Yes!" Mario pulled out from his pocket a yellow Chaos Emerald. "Dont ask: Sonic gave it to me for emergencies only", he said when he saw his brother's face. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!" he yelled, and, just like the purple Emerald, it made a portal.
"GO!" He leaped into the portal.
Luigi stared, but with full determination he leaped into the portal as soon as it started to dissolve.
A huge wind blew through the trees, and then everything fell silent.

d the Daisy princess, But dont lay a hand on Peach! ...........Deal", he said, calming down. "What are your plans?"
"We leave as soon as you are ready."
"Now. The earlier we attack, the earlier we get to ultimate rule"
"Get prepared. I'll meet you at the horizon."Eggman bowed his head in good bye and quickly walked off.
