((Happy holidays, people!

While taking a small break from the other usual stories I thought I would… Remake the remake I did a couple years back? It was really a mess, so I thankfully deleted it, and am making an improved version.

Essentially, this is Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine- One of the westernized Puyo Puyo games, but retold with a proper protagonist (not Sonic, sorry), two characters from AoStH as a bonus, and a fan-made "tutorial" badnik.

I apologize if the writing-style of this, isn't what people wanted, I simply wanted it to fit with the original game's type of dialogue, and like how the Puyo series does it.

So, fans of AoStH, Mean Bean Machine, and maybe Puyo Puyo… Enjoy?

I do not own anyone from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine! I do however, own Revor and Pin!))

DR. ROBOTNIK'S MEAN BEAN MACHINE

INTRODUCTION

Mobius, home of Sonic the Hedgehog… A planet of freedom, and colors. Seemingly undisturbed, with the exception of Dr. Robotnik often trying to foil the area into his own playground.

That was, until one particular day, when our beloved hedgehog was not present, a rift opened up! All sorts of colorful blobs, along with a small creature came tumbling out.

On top of that, a small girl, fell from a rather large height… This, is their story.

"Whoooaa! Wait up, wait up! I'm falliiiiing!" Waving her arms in panic, the girl looked down at the earth of Mobius, trying to hope she could find a safe landing. "Okay, okay… Calm down! Just gotta… Oh right! I have this!" Pulling out a small magic wand from her side pocket, she slowed her fall, and found a tree.

Swinging her arms forward, the girl clung onto a branch as quickly as she could. "Whew! That was toooooo close!… Now, uh, where am I?"

Bright red hair in pigtails, with orange-yellow at the tips, clearly a preteen of the sort. A green shirt, and peach skirt, topped off with the cute lavender-colored star wand in her hands. "Mmmmnope, this isn't on my usual charts. Did I enter a completely new world from messing around? Wow, lucky me!"

The three branch cracked, much to her dismay. "Uh oh…" She began sweating, and the wand slipped through her fingers. "Oh great! Uh, look out beloooow! Watch out, watch ouuuut!" With that, the falling began again.

A couple of robots were gathered around the sight. One being a chicken, the other being a dragon, a knight, and a strange crescent-shaped one.

These, were badniks. Machines made by Dr. Robotnik. They could walk, talk, fight, and then were nasty. None of them were particularly nice… Save a couple, who have been debated to have malfunctions, but that wasn't the point.

"Uhh, Spike?" The dragon one huffed.

"What is it, Dragon Breath?! I'm busy!" The crescent-headed one snapped back, picking up the blobs.

"You may wanna move out of the way… Or, maybe don't, it'll be funny."

The wand dropped onto the knight's head as they were talking, nearly levitating him off the ground for a few moments before he grabbed it. He examined the wand, puzzled at the origins… Until he looked up. "Thou may wish to listen to the foul dragon, Spike…"

"Why should I?!"

Before he could get an answer, the girl landed head-first onto the robot named Spike, promptly knocking him down and her out. Dragon Breath began laughing, while the knight glared at him.

Spike got up quickly, despite the weight of the girl, and began shaking her by the shirt. "Geez! What the heck is your problem?! Watch where you're falling!" No response came from the girl, who was dazed.

Pulling him away from the foreigner, the knight scolded him. "Sir Spike, that is no way to treat a lady. No one can control where they hath fallen." He then glanced at the wand in his hand. "I wonder if milord could make use of this… Ah, but I loathe witchcraft, myself. Assuming she is a witch."

"Maybe she's a fairy? I mean, the way she kinda looks isn't very witchy or whatever, Ffuzz-fface." Dragon Breath replied.

"Faeries hath a much more graceful landing—"

"Hey! What's taking so long over there?!" The chicken squawked. "Hurry up and grab the blobs, so we can get back to Dr. Robotnik!"

"Shut up! I have a bit of a concussion here!" Spike retorted, leaving the girl. "Alright, c'mon! We can't keep the doc waiting!"

Once again, the knight glared at him. "Tis not right to leave someone like her here. Shall we not bring her with us?"

"Ffuzz-fface, just leave the wand with her, don't be chivalrous to a stranger!" Tugging on the knight's hair, Dragon Breath forcefully made him join, ditching the young girl.

…

After about an hour, the girl got up. "Ugh…! Where am I?" She glanced about, seeing that the strange blobs had… Somehow been growing on plants right now, similar to beans or berries. "Whoa, neat! Those little blobs are sure making themselves a colorful home here, huh?"

Right as she got up, the girl was tackled by a small little creature. "Yikes! Hey, watch it!" Huffing, she picked up the culprit, who was shaking. "… Aw hey. You're a cute little fella, aren't you? What do they call you?" It stopped trembling, and only responded with one word:

"Gu!"

"Goo?…" She blinked.

"Gu, gugu!"

"Hmm, I get the feeling english isn't your first language. What were you running away from so fast? You look scared!" The small creature wiggling in the girl's hands, before pointing at a duo of robots.

She paused to stare at them. One was red and black, wearing a scarf, holding a guitar in his hands. While the other was also red, but had a strange horn of the sort on his head. The latter had stormed off, leaving the girl to wonder.

"Those guys are bullying you?… Normally it's not my business buuut no one should be picking on someone this cute! Alright little buddy, I'll help you out!" Wand between her fingers, the girl gave a smug look, before approaching them…

PRACTICE LEVEL

PRACTICE STAGE 1

Revor: "Boooring… That destroyer has gotta just ruin my day with no music, huh?"

?: "Hey, you!"

Revor: "… Huh? Oh, this is a rare sight. Anything I can help you with, miss…?"

?: (Uh-oh, well, I can't say my real identity, so… Maybe I'll have some kind of alias for now.) "It's… Pin! The greatest sorceress you will lay eyes on, in the making!"

Revor: "Pin?… I hear you callin' and it's needles and pins, but I'm legitimately curious as to who names their kiddo that… Guess it ain't my business." (I doubt that's your real name.)

Pin: (Seriously? That kind of reference?) "So, how come you guys are picking on cute little creatures, huh?"

Revor: "Dr. Robotnik's plans. He caught wind of this wicked portal opening up and, uh, dropping animated blobs… Plus, that little fella is perfect for making a new robot y'know."

Pin: "Making a new robot?"

Revor: "Yeah, y'know, that's what he does. He's made a real mean, steamin' machine, babe. Gonna turn all those bean creatures into robots to help take over Mobius. The greatest plan ever, right…?"

Pin: "Wrong! That's awful! Especially if this little guy is involved!"

Revor: "Was bein' sarcastic. I think that plan, uh, isn't so hot. But Katella is gonna keep ordering us to scoop up whatever is left, lyin' around… Are you, gonna try to stop us or something?"

Pin: "Of course! I'm gonna free those blobs!"

Revor: "Cool. I actually wanna see you try… Once you beat me… Let's rock!"

PRACTICE STAGE 2

MD: "That useless, rockin' robot with his ruckus! He couldn't stop you?!"

Pin: "I don't think he was making an attempt…"

MD: "Shoot! Well, I'll fix that! I'm gonna end all the obnoxious singing and music, coloring Mobius!"

Pin: (A music lover, and music hater… How odd.)

MD: "That stupid little thing on freeing blobs… We just trap them! We're gonna make those beans, into silent, unfeeling machines! While the rest are caged off into a zoo!"

Pin: "That's funny, because you all seem to not be so silent, and have quite the emotions in your character~"

MD: "Are you mocking me?!"

Pin: (Well, you are just part of the tutorial…)

MD: "Robotnik's Music Destroyer Robot 2.0; Mega Drive will end this, before you give me a migraine!"

Pin: "Do you have brothers named CD and 32x, or come with notable 'twang' sounds?… Hey, maybe that's why you're so sensitive!"

PRACTICE STAGE 3

Katella: "Hah! A little child, trying to stop me from taking all these bean creatures?!"

Pin: "I just turned thirteen, and that's no way to say 'hi'!… So, what's your beef? You're not a robot, so are you the one running this circus?"

Katella: "Nonsense! This is a deal Dr. Robotnik and I had made! I get to capture whatever remaining beans there are, and send them to zoos, all across the universe!… Besides, hopefully it will convince his nag of a mother to let me have his hand!"

Pin: "That's what this is about?!" (He must be good looking, to win a real prize like this, geez.)

Katella: "That thick mustache, his bouncy-belly, his aroma and evil laugh!~"

Pin: (I take it back, she just has odd standards…)

Katella: "Someone as bad as him… Deserves the worst! Which is me! And I shall prove it, by crushing this little girl, and taking her small rabbit friend!"

Pin: "In your dreams! No really, you're dreaming, and I'm your wake-up call!"

Katella: "Your little 'practicing' will end here!"

Pin: "To that, I agree… It'll end with you losing though!"

PRACTICE LEVEL COMPLETE

Katella laid face down on the ground, staggering to get up. "Curses! How could I lose, to a bratty girl with stupid magic like you?!" Pin skipped over the huntress, and released the blobs from their cage.

"Surprised they can't slip through the bars really. Well, that's one set freed!" The small orange creature then jumped off Katella's head, and over to Pin. "What is it, little fella?" He then gestured over to Revor, who had followed the sorceress. "Gah! Back for round two, huh?!"

Revor shrugged, grinning. "Had a feeling you would take care of the huntress. She's not skilled with puzzles…"

"I can still hear you!"

"Listen kiddo, from here on out, it's gonna become more challenging, after all, this was just your 'warm up'." He then strummed his guitar. "You sure you're up for that? You're allowed to keep on honing yourself before taking on the whole adventure."

Pin held up her wand. "Nah, I got this!~"

"Alright, but…" He then stared at Pin's wand. "You may find better magic, to counter strong badniks, babycakes. Hate to sound like a nag, but you may wanna swap 'em out for an appropriate step up in difficulty. They could help you in the long run, trust me."

"… Okay? Not sure what that means, but, whatever, Mr. Tutorial." Pin then ran off to the hills, off to her next stop…

The main story!

((The original cast will be coming up next, don't worry.))
