Both the introduction and the first chapter is contained here instead of just the introduction alone.
Introduction
Since the year 1983, there has been a ruler of the world. This country was small at the time, and it's leader was short, fat, and ambitious. He rallied his troops for the long and hard battle that he thought he would have to go through, but he was very wrong. He was able to take over his homeland without a problem. He then had set his plan to rule the world with a iron or gloved fist. He didn't have much to put up with on his second continent of choice too. As a matter of fact, he virtually went unchallenged throughout his quest for domination. This made the king get a little too confident, as he was able to rule the world without much of fight. There was one enemy in his path, but it was nowhere near as large as his army. The master ruled from 1983 to 1988. In 1988, a big uprising took place in his homeland. This is where the tale starts.
Chapter 1: How it Begins
The red-capped master rules the world right now. In his quest for dominance, he went through countless nations trying to fight back. The king won without having to put up a fight, but there was one nation that planned to fight back. This nation is on the same continent as the king, but it now only consists of the southern part of this vast continent. Here, there is an uproar. The king that once ruled over this land has died. He was burned to death by the king of the north. The king of the north has an uncanny ability to conjure fire. Anyway, with the king gone, the small southern nation, known as Sega, decided to take action over this outrage. They had everything they need for a strike. The only thing they lacked was a leader. One person decided to step up and take this task. He was already known far and wide for helping the small nation prepare for the battle against the country in the north, so he seemed like a good choice. The new leader of Sega is blue in color, has eight spines on his back and one tail, wears white gloves just like the master of the northern nation (white gloves were considered fashionable at the time), and he wears red shoes with a white strap that has a golden buckle. He goes by the name, Sonic the Hedgehog. He prefers to mentioned as Sonic.
Of course, there are spies situated in Sega. The king of the northern nation made sure that there was always someone there. News reached the king by the next day. The king of the north is normally referred to as Mario. He country is named Nintendo. He resides in a gigantic castle with his wife, and several servants. The castle is on top of a large, grassy hill. All of the surrounding villages and the castle makes up the part known as the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mushroom Kingdom is the capital of the country. Right now, Mario is outside in the courtyard. This is where he meets all of his spies from across the world. When he is told about major uprising in Sega and Sonic coming to power, he laughs it off. The overconfident king does not care about the little nation of Sega. He goes on about his day without a care in the world, but a wake-up call is coming, literally.
Sonic is at the presidential house in Sega. It is located in the middle of the Green Hill Zone. Unlike the monarchy that goes on in the land of Nintendo, Sega's government is a democracy. Sonic is sitting with his two best friends, and they are now discussing the possibility of war with Nintendo. After a very heated debate, all of the significant figures of Sega enters the oval office. The office now consists of Sonic- The leader, Tails- in charge of finances, technology, and is order to act as leader in case Sonic is absent, Knuckles- in charge of security and the army, Ristar- in charge of the air force, Ecco the Dolphin- in charge of the navy, and Vectorman- in charge of international spies. These six people form the main part of Sega. They are the most important. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails already decided that they should declare war on Nintendo. The other three leaders agreed. Sonic orders his wife, Amy, to bring in the red phone. This phone is directly linked to Nintendo's blue phone located inside of the castle. King Mario is napping at the moment, but he is disturbed by the ring of the blue phone. He answers the phone in a weird, Italian voice while saying, "What do you want?" Mario already knows that the blue phone equals Sega.
"I am calling on behalf on all of us here at Sega," Sonic said. "I am declaring war!"
"Whatever." Mario hangs up right after that, and he crawls back up into his bed. Once he reaches his bed, he then realizes that the conversation was real.
"Sega is declaring war!" Mario said. He is now fully awake. Mario orders his servants to get the word out and he wants all of the delegates to meet at castle. All leaders of Nintendo were asked to meet at courtyard. Mario is discussing this with the leaders that he appointed when he came into power at 1983. Mario is the leader of course. Luigi is just a backup to Mario and Mario trusts him the most. Everything is discussed with Luigi before it happens. Yoshi handles the army, security, spies, and the navy. Link handles weapons and armor. Samus handles technology. Fox commands the air force. Mario mainly calls this meeting for one reason. He isn't worried about going to Sega to beat the crap out of his blue competitor. He wants to know how plans are coming along with their friends, Sony, instead. Sony is it's own nation. It located on the lands to the east which neither Sega or Nintendo bothers, until now. A few months ago, Mario visited the mayor of Sony. He asked the mayor for a deal. Sony had some new technology. It was a huge horizontal disk that could up to 700 spinning blades. Mario wanted this technology so he could have Samus mass produce a gun with it. Sony accepted and they went right to work. Here's the catch, a contract wasn't made. The president of Sony sent Samus a contract. She gives this to Mario. Mario reads this contract and becomes outraged at it. He slams the contract down on the table where everyone is sitting.
"Oh no," Mario grunted. "This is unacceptable."
"What," Luigi said. He grabbed the contract. Mario points to the part he hates. "The technology is finished, but we will not help you out unless you promise to permanently join forces with us."
"I do not need the help of that wild animal," Mario screamed.
"Hmm," Link said. He is sharping his sword at the moment. "Maybe Sony could be of use to us later down the road. It might not hurt to join them," he said calmly.
"Shut up," Mario told him. "You never speak anyway. Samus, cancel all plans with Sony tomorrow. Now then, here is the matter at hand. Sega has challenged us to war. Be prepared to go into battle at anytime. Let all of the locals know the deal. I want to see every koopa, yoshi, goomba, and toad out on that battlefield. You understand me?"
"Alright I guess," Fox said with his head down. "I'll go prepare the planes." He walks out of the office slowly with a sad face.
"Oh," Mario said. "I have one new recruit. Come in, CF."
"Show me ya moves," Captain Falcon said energetically. "I am in charge of tanks and mobile weaponry."
"Alright," Mario said. "Prepare for battle. Who knows when Sega will strike. Meeting dismissed ."
Back a Sega's headquarters, Sonic and his delegates are already prepared for war. They have their own disk. Their men are ready at the front lines. Tails lays out a map before everyone. He plans the attack on Nintendo tonight like this. There is a huge lake which separates Sega from Nintendo. He tells Ecco to station the navy in this lake. Ecco flops out of the house and goes straight into the lake where he has his army of of fish and whales waiting. Tails order's Knuckles to take his troops up the lake on the west side. Tails will have Robotnik launch the spinning disks into Nintendo before radioing Knuckles to continue into Nintendo. It sort of like a bombing, but with huge disks the size of missiles. Since this will create a diversion and send all military personal to the west, Tails orders Vectorman to enter from the east. He wants to Vectorman to kidnap Mario's wife if possible. If not, he wants Vectorman to find out as much as he can about Nintendo's army. He order Ristar to guard the air over Sega. Do not let any arwings get past. Ristar agrees. He salutes Sonic. A pipe magically appears over his head. He grabs this pipe. He swings around it twenty times while building up a trail of stars. He rockets out of the room with as many as 100 stars behind him. This is the air force. Sonic and Tails will run behind Knuckles' army.
It is dawn. Ecco had his troops in the lake since last night. He can see Knuckles' army from the west. Knuckles is the leader of the ground troops. The grounded forces consists of Flickies, and robots built by Robotnik with weapons made by Tails. Robotnik was captured by Sonic long ago in his quest to become known by Sega. He had Robotnik locked into a room in order to come up with designs for robots which could be used in combat. Tails approved these designs and Robotnik has been forced to make these robots ever since. Knuckles' troops are now at the border of Sega and Nintendo. He radios Robotnik who is back at headquarters. Robotnik presses a red button the control panel back at the presidential house. This activates the missile launchers that are located in the Scrap Brain Zone. The codename for these missiles are Sega CD. The weapons are actually a missile, but with a huge spinning disk at the end of it. It is similar in design to Sony's, but their missile is black. Sega's missile is white. Knuckles orders him to launch them in Nintendo's southwestern lands.
Nintendo's southwestern lands are known as Yoshi Island. Why it is called an island I do not know because it isn't on an island. The place is normally used as a vacation spot. This is the place where most yoshis live. It's climate is usually tropical with much rain, but it isn't raining today. The place is mostly inhabited on the coast away from the forest. Most yoshis just laze around all day doing nothing but playing around and having fun in the beach, but today is different. The master Yoshi, the commander of the army, has told all yoshis to take shelter. He leads his troops of mostly yoshis and koopas down the beach to the southern part. A flying koopa is keeping a look out from above. All of the troops are on the beach, nearly thousands of them. They are lined up in rows of one hundred, so they cover the whole beach. The koopas are in front while the yoshis are in back. The flying koopa blows a horn. He points into the air. The missiles have been launched. There are ten of them. Yoshi orders all troops to disperse. Most of them went into the forest. Yoshi does as well. Some of them ran up North. Unfortunately, these troops are hit. The missiles came down on them. The yoshis that were to the back were horribly disfigured. Some of them had there heads cut off which rolled into the sea. Some of them were caught in the explosion of the missile. Some of them were crushed by the huge weight of the disk. The sand was covered in blood. The koopas that were caught in this retracted into their shells. The disk of the missile would not cut through the shell, but they were either flatten by the size of the huge or disk or they were blown out to sea by the blast the exploding missiles caused. This is very bad for koopas cannot swim. A yoshi that was standing by the master Yoshi hummed a sad tune for the deceased. They continued to go south through the forest. Yoshi used his radio to call for more soldiers of course. That is what Tails hoped would happen.
Knuckles orders a flicky to fly up in search of the enemy. The flicky flies over the forest. He sees the flying koopa from the other side. The flicky chirps. Knuckles orders his men to go into the forest. Knuckles walks in front of them. The forest is very dense. It is pretty shady because of this. The flying flicky is keeping a lookout. After about ten minutes of avoiding trees and such, Knuckles comes across a tail sticking out from behind a tree. He orders the flickies to take camouflage. They all fly into trees and hide behind leaves. They have a good vantage point from here. Knuckles orders a robot to shoot at that tail. A robot shoots a missile at the tree. The tree explodes and falls down. The yoshi that was under this tree is crushed. The head Yoshi turns around. He runs to the sound with all yoshis and koopas behind him. Yoshi meets with his fallen solider. He then looks up to notice Knuckles standing there with his army of robots behind him. Sonic and Tails are in a huge robot from which Tails controls. It is as tall as the trees in the jungle. It is bulletproof. They are behind Knuckles and his troops. Yoshi grunts while pointing at Knuckles. He stands there confused because he can't understand Yoshi. Yoshi flips out. He start using sign language to communicate with Knuckles. From this Knuckles kind of understand.
"Ah," Knuckles said. He has his hand on his chin while looking at the leaves from the trees above. "You want to kick my ass because you know we sent those missile which killed almost half of your troops on the beach?"
Yoshi grunts while shaking his head and sticking out his arms. Knuckles orders Sonic and Tails to advance. Yoshi points at Knuckles. Knuckles gets out of the way by jumping to the left. Yoshi's army shows up and they are ready to fight. Knuckles yells. The flickies from the trees began firing their machine guns. Some of the yoshis are getting slaughtered and no one knows why. The koopas are taking care of the robots. Some koopas are retreating into the shells and they are launching themselves into the hoard of robots. Five koopas that are in the backfield pull out some cannons. They are being loaded with koopa shells. They fire at the trees and into the robots. Firing at the trees were a good thing. They fell which caused all of the flickies to show themselves. The yoshis that are still alive prepares eggs for liftoff. They throw eggs at the flickies which explode on contact. Every time a flicky is hit, they disintegrate and their feathers float into the breeze. While the battle between the army is going on, Knuckles and Yoshi are in the middle of it. Yoshi is prepared to fight Knuckles. Knuckles takes off his black cap. He pulls out his shovel claws. Yoshi just has a look of determination on his face. They both charge at each other.
Ristar is currently in the air with his stars. They are watching over the various lands of Sega. Ristar is halted from his flying by a stray laser. He stops then looks ahead. He is staring at over a hundred arwings. Fox is in the first one. There are two more to his left and his right. These contain Falco and Slippy. There are arwings as far as the eye can see behind those three. Ristar calls all of his stars. He can see them, but everyone else can't because they are stars and it is daytime. Fox orders his planes to attack. Ristar just stands there. He sticks his arm out. All of the arwings that were behind Fox, Slippy, and Falco comes down in an instant. Fox is confused. He communicates to both Falco and Slippy. They both couldn't see anything either. Fox slams his fist on his dashboard. He opens communications with Ristar by pressing a button on his control panel. A microphone comes out of his arwing. He speaks to Ristar from his plane.
"Why we couldn't see your attack," Fox screamed.
Ristar starts laughing. He now has a smirk on his face. "I am using stars," he chuckled. "You cannot see them during the day."
"Damn," said Fox. He growled at Ristar. Ristar is just floating there waiting for them to make their move. He is laughing. Falco charges at Ristar without order from Fox. His arwing is shot down. Feathers float into the breeze after the explosion. His beak falls to the ground. Slippy is crying. Fox puts his head down in prayer. Slippy comes up with an idea. He orders Fox to take the arwing into space. Fox agrees and they fly up there. Ristar follows. It takes about three minutes to reach space. From here, Ristar's star army can be seen. Fox calls for more arwings. They appear immediately. Ristar isn't smirking now. He is serious. Fox and Slippy prepares their fleet for the star army. Ristar is thinking that he is in a bad spot right now. Fox orders all arwings to attack.
There you have it. I normally don't care for reviews or ask for them, but I want a review for this project before I continue. I just want to know if anyone is interested so I don't waste my time with this one. Tell me what you think.

Tip: This story covers the console wars but with characters, kind of.
I will try to update once a week, most likely on weekends.
