This chapter is narrorated by DMG.
The realities have changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember. For in the Sega-Nintendo universe, 5,000 years ago, a great evil found out how to take over other realities. It began with the forging of the great jewels, the Chaos Emeralds. They were the ultimate power source of that universe (and stronger than most others).The emeralds, 8 in all, were given to the planet Mobius. But everyone was tricked. The eighth emerald was stolen by the strongest Dragon of all, Metal Overlord, on his home planet, the black asteroid (which later broke in two, creating the black comet). He tainted the jewel, made it an evil master jewel, greater in power than the Master Emerald. And into it he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. It was the Hell Emerald
He used its power to create an evil army of robots and dragons. One by one, the free lands of the Sega-Nintendoverse fell to the power of the Emerald. And after this reality was conquered, the rest would fall at Mach speed. But there were some who resisted. A Last Alliance of anthropomorphs, men, and good dragons (Spiro's ancestors) met the armies of the black asteroid, and on that planet they fought for the freedom of all reality! Destruction of both sides was near, but the power of the Emerald could not be undone. Metal Overlord joined in the battle, with the emerald in his glass chest plate. He tore Through the Alliance and broke them, slaying their king. It was in this hour, when all hope had faded, that Anluigi, son of the king, took up his father's wrench.
With a mighty leap, he landed on Overlord's chest plate. He charged his Ultraflame through his wrench, shattering the glass. As it began to regenerate, Anluigi, using his mighty gloved hand, took the emerald out. "Why? I had it all!" the Overlord screeched. His organic parts and most of his armor disintegrated.
The Emerald passed to Anluigi, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted, and The Hell Emerald has a will of its own. It betrayed Anluigi to his death, and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost, as it fell into the Midas River.
History became legend. Legend became myth.
For 4,980 years the Emerald passed out of all knowledge, until-when chance came-it ensnared a new bearer.
The Emerald came to the Wario when he was twenty and poisoned his mind for ten years, and in his caves it waited.
" I've-a got-a my precious…" was his saying.
Darkness crept back into the all the forests, rumor grew of a shadow in space, whispers of nameless fear, and the Emerald perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Wario, but something happened then that the Emerald did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable, Uncle Chuck, a hedgehog.
"Arggh! Its-a lost! My-a precious-a is-a lost-a!"
For a time will soon come when hedgehogs will shape the fortune of all. (Again)
Canon: I fit canon this way. It's based off of the sonic adventure timeline. Mario's planet and Mobius are binary. They have there own moons, and aren't visible without infrared goggles to each other. . Manic is Sonic's brother. Sonia isn't, but is Manic's girlfriend. Metal Sonic's overlord version was made by Eggman from parts of the old Metal Overlord.
