Hello all, I am the J-Man, a new writer here at FF.net. What you are about to read is the first of (hopefully) many fanficitons chronicling the many cononical and not-so-cononical adventures of everyone's favorite blue hedgehog... plus fanfics on other stuff as well :P Anyways, since this is my first published piece of writing ever, there's bound to be mistakes and/or really stupid dialogue. Anyways, I've wasted your time long enough, so here's the prologue to "West Island Chaos," my personal adaptation of the original Genesis/MegaDrive game Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with special attention given to the relationship between Sonic and Tails (NOT YAOI YOU PERVS!!). R+R, but keep in mind that I am taking advantage of creative license, so if you write anything about how this writing doesn't fit with the game, assume my answer will be "screw you." Rated PG for mild violence, may be upped to PG-13 if I decide to allow content like that...

WEST ISLAND CHAOS
Prologue - Landing at Emerald Hill
After what seemed like an eternity, he had arrived. That stood before him was a lush, green landscape, filled with waterfalls, beautiful plants, and a large array of furry, cute animals. It was definitely the type of place anyone would want to be if they were vacationing.
Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, however, was here for another purpose.
Eggman was round in physique (which is why he chose his name,) and boasted a long, straight moustache as his only source of hair. He wore a pair of black pants and covered himself with a bright red flight suit. He always wore a pair of sunglasses, though he always had his goggles with him whenever needed. He managed to always establish a halfway menacing, halfway comedic presence, the uniqueness of which contributes to his ability to stand out in a crowd.
And stand out he did. Most of the smaller animals had since distanced themselves from the large doctor. This helped to prevent anything from interrupting Eggman's search, which was being carried out with the aid of a small handheld device. It was nearly two hours later when the device began to omit a distinctive beeping sound, which instilled a sense of urgency in Eggman.
"Ah," Eggman exclaimed in his slightly high-pitched, wily voice, "so there is one here after all." Eggman, gazing at his device, began to wander around, aimlessly at first, until finally settling on a single spot, a small alcove on the cliffs near the waterfall. Upon stopping, he put the device away and began reaching into the alcove. After some digging, he noticed something hard and smooth. With a tug, Eggman was able to pull out the object.
The gemstone shimmered in the sun, displaying an illuminate green color from its center. Eggman gazed at it with awe, then began to laugh. "Finally, the first one is in my grasp," Eggman remarked as he began his trek back to his hovercraft, a peculiar, semispherical contraption.
After reaching the ship, Eggman loaded his equipment and went in. With a loud roaring sound, the ship lifted off the grounf sd if weightless and began to soar through the sky. The greenish glowing stone laid on Eggman's grasp as he rode away from the Emerald Hills.

The sun rose slowly above the crystal clear oceanic horizon. A school of fish started skimming the surface of the water, looking for its next meal. They interrupted their journey, however, when they noticed a large shadow above them. The shadow belonged to a mid-size red biplane. It was definitely sleek, although it did sputter a bit and the paint was fading slightly. Nevertheless, it flew through the air smoothly.
It was about noon time when the biplane flew over a lush, green meadow, which happened to be part of a very large island, secluded from other such landforms in the general area. Besides the large area of greenery, the island also contained other areas of interest. Factories, cities, and large mountains could be seen from the bird's eye view of the biplane, and conveyed a very geographical diverse landform.
Soon enough, the biplane landed near a large waterfall. Rushing water was heard as the pilot exited the cockpit. The pilot took a long look around, noting the animals frolicking about peacefully. After looking arounf a bit more, the pilot finally saw a nice, clear, open path. With a smirk, the pilot readied himself.
Then Sonic the Hedgehog began to run.
And boy, did he run. Sonic's quills vibrated behind him as he ran. His entire body shimmered a dark blue color, with the exception of his frontal torso, which was a bright peach color. He wore a special pair of red and white sneakers made specially to handle his insane speeds while running. With his free spirit, Sonic found pleasure in running at top speed, never stopping to look behind, always moving ahead to his next challenge.
It was a few minutes later that Sonic arrived in the somewhat dense forest. Many trees surrounded him, including those bearing cocnuts and other exotic fruits. It was a peaceful location, at least to Sonic, and proved to be a suitable resting place for him after the long journey and before he prepared to explore the large island. Sonic went and sat down right next to a coconut tree. It was a matter of time before he succumbed to his restful nature and fell asleep. He slept for a good three hours exhaustively, obviously not noticing that he was being watched...
A short distance away, behind a large coconut tree, stood an orange fox. He was short in height, and was obviusly very young. He took on all the features of a normal fox except for one interesting anomaly: he possessed two bushy tails instead of the usual one.
The shy fox crept closer to the strange visitor, attempting to find out more about him, most importantly how he had reached the forest undetected. Surely, the fox would have noticed anyone coming near to where he was since the smaller animals provided him with subtle hints. Especially considering odd appearance of a blue hedgehog, something that never had taken place before...
Unfortunetely, he succumbed to a short fit of clumsiness, losing his footing on the ground and falling right on top of the hedgehog's stomach. The next thing he heard was a scream...
"Aaaah!" Sonic screamed, startled at the pain in his stomach, "What the heck was that?" Sonic looked around for bit looking for someone around him. He found what he was looking for when he noticed a orangish tail retreat behind one of the coconut trees. *Hmm,* Sonic pondered, *I wonder who that could've been. I guess I should find out.* Sonic made sure not to reveal that he knew of his stalker's location.
The fox watched Sonic, making sure to keep quiet despite his slight panting. *Wow, that was a close one. I don't think he saw me.* He breathed a sigh of relief at his good fortune. No sooner had he done that, however, when Sonic dissappeared into the forest in a blue blur, leaving behind a pile of airborne leaves. The fox watched the scene in confusion, trying to figure out what had just happened.
"Hiya."
The fox jumped, startled at the voice behind him. Turning around, he discovered that the voice had come from none other than the blue hedgehog. "B..but," he muttered, almost falling down in shock, "h..how... you w..were... over there... over here?... I--"
"Were you the one that woke me up," Sonic said, ignoring the boy's frantic muttering.
"I... I," the fox replied, almost speechless.
Sonic chuckled. "Don't worry fella. i was just asking. No need to get all terrified about it."
The fox almost took offense to that statement, but held his tongue saying so. "How in the world did you get from there to here so quickly?" he said instead.
"Huh?" Sonic replied, thinking for a moment, "Oh, I see. I guess I was a little too fast, right?" The boy only nodded. "Well, I'm sorry I startled you. I'm just used to running everywhere I go. My name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. And who might you be?"
"I'm... I'm Miles Prower," the fox answered, a bit more relaxed then before.
"Miles huh? Kind of a weird name for a fox if you ask me"
"If you want, you can call me Tails."
"Hmm, Tails. I like it. But why would you call yourself by that--" before Sonic could finish, he noticed the reason: the two tails that Tails had behind him. "Oh, heh," Sonic said, a little embarrassed, "I guess it's kind of obvious."
Tails bowed his head and frowned. Sonic noticed the action immediately.
"Um, I didn't quite mean it like that," he stated, attempting to rebound from that less-than-tactful comment, "I've just never seen a two-tailed fox before, that's all. I guess we both still have a lot to learn."
Tails smiled a little for the first time, realizing that perhaps Sonic wasn't as bad as he had thought. He stood up straight and looked at Sonic admirably. *Wow... he actually didn't make fun of me.*
Sonic chuckled a bit. *Phew. Glad I got out of that one.* "So um... have anything to eat here Tails?"
Tails thought for a moment, then realized he had a golden oppurtunity to impress his new friend. "Well," he began, "there are some coconuts we could get." Tails pointed to the top of a nearby coconut tree.
"Hmm, that's pretty high," Sonic said, rubbing his chin, "I guess I could just ram the tree, but I don't want to startle all the animals. Of course, I could always run... up..... there?" Sonic's voice trailed off as Tails readied himself and began to spin his tails like a propeller. Soon Tails was off the ground and heading towards the top of the tree. He went and grabbed a couple of coconuts, and then eased himself on the ground, unwinding his Tails and looking at Sonic happily.
It was Sonic's turned to be shocked. "Holy crap!" he exclaimed, "Have you always been able to do that?"
Tails replied with a short but cheerful nod. Sonic looked at him for a while, until a smirk appeared on his face. he grabbed the top of Tails' head. "I like you kid," he said, "You're pretty cool." Sonic picked up one of the coconuts and began to walk away, looking at the sky. "Well, I think I'd better be going. If I'm going to vacation here, I'll need plenty of time to look around."
Tails turned around quickly. "Wait, Sonic," he yelled.
"Huh?"
"I'll get to see you again, right?"
Sonic lookedat tails for a moment, and then gave him a thumbs up. "You can count on it. I promise." Sonic turned around once again *What a nice guy. And to think, he actually flew...* Sonic revved up and started running. Before Tails could react, the hedgehog was out of view.
"Wow," Tails said longingly, almost melancholy, "Sonic the Hedgehog. he actually said he liked me." Tails smiled and withdrew into the forest for the day...
NEXT CHAPTER: A powerful discovery by Tails, also the full introduction of West Island and Dr. Eggman, not to mention a daring adventure through the perils of the Emerald Hills. Don't miss the first official chapter, entitled "Green Land, Robotic Fury"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The full story is still being developed, but i think I've established a good starting point. I don't see many Sonic 2 fanfics (most of them are about Sonic 3), so i think this will be either new or refreshing to most of you. Remember to R+R, and don't even mention game comparisons, or I will beat you with a dead stick. So how was my first fanfic attempt? ^_^
