Chapter 1: "This is way cooler than watching it on TV!"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Here it comes!" Tails shouted, pointing across the baseball stands to the groups of fans rising and sitting in their seats.
On his head sat a green baseball cap with the a yellow, cursive "G" stitched into it. He waved around a matching "Green Hill Ghunderthorks" pennant.
"I'm ready bro!" Sonic winked and gave him a thumbs-up as all the fans near them began doing the "wave."
"YEAH!" Tails leapt up and threw up his arms into the air. Sonic did the same. They quickly sat back down.
"Oh, wow! Another one!" Tails exclaimed. They rose up and sat back down again, shouting and throwing their arms up in the air, "This is so awesome, Sonic! I can't believe we're actually at the Mobian World Series! This is way cooler than watching it on TV."
"Yep, this is way past cool alright," Sonic agreed. His sharp eyesight suddenly spotted a tall food vender a few rows below them selling his ultimate favorite food, "And it just got even better!" he smiled, "YO! Two Chilidogs over here, pal!" Sonic leaped on his seat and waved his arm.
The vendor quickly headed up the stairs and pitched two straight at Sonic, who caught them and sent back some Mobiums, "And you can keep the change!"
The man snatched the money out of the air, yelling back, "Thanks a lot, Palsy!"
Sonic instantly recognized his voice, "Wes Weasley? What're you doin' here?"
"What does it look like? This is only a temp job until I can find a real selling gig," he replied, and then he continued back down the stairs.
Sonic shrugged and sat down again. He handed a chilidog to Tails.
"Mmmmm! I wish we could do this more often!" Tails commented as he ripped open the foil package and took a bite of his steaming hot chilidog.
"Yeah, maybe if Robotnik would take a break every now and then, we could too," Sonic agreed as he munched on his chilidog.
"Oh Sonic!" a familiar female voice called out.
Sonic gulped down the rest of his chilidog and glanced toward the stairs, "Hi, Miss Possum!" he waved.
As she headed towards him, he saw more of his friends following right behind her, a wide grin spread across his face, "Hey guys!"
Big Griz and Mad Mike - better known as "Da Bears", MacHopper the Kangaroo, Junior & Breezy Robotnik, and Hodgepodge the Hare all greeted Sonic and Tails as they took a seat in the row right up above them.
"Wow!" Sonic said, "This must be my lucky day!"
"You can thank Tails," Junior said, "He invited us to come."
"Well, you hadn't seen everybody since your Hero of the Year party - so I figured this would be a great time for all of us to get together."
"Thanks, Bro!" Sonic smiled, "You guys are just in time too. The game's about to start!"
The loudspeaker for the park suddenly roared to life, "WELCOME BASEBALL FANS!" The crowd began to cheer wildly, "To the concluding game of the 25th Annual Mobian World Series! The winner of this game will take home the coveted Emerald Trophy! Now, please rise for the world anthem."
Everybody leaped up to their feet and in the far corner of the stadium, near the large lighted scoreboard, the Mobius flag was raised as the crowd began to sing to some accompanying music.
"Oh Mobius, dear Mobius,
Land of Freedom, Land of Dreams.
May the sun continually rise for you
And the twin moons share their light.
Stay in our hearts, and never part,
Lovely Mobius - star planet of the night!"
The crowd roared to life with whooping and applause. The loudspeaker came on again, "Now, please welcome to the field, your 3-year reigning champions, The Green Hill Ghunderthorks!"
Tails stood on top of his chair and cheered loudly, waving his pennant wildly. Other fans screamed out for their team. Sonic whistled loudly for the team as they came running out onto the field and took their positions.
The speaker continued, "And this year's challengers, the East Mobius Striped Sox!"
A dark shadow slowly began to creep over the stadium. Big Griz noticed this, "Gee, uh, dah sun sure is settin' fast tonight, huh Mike?"
"It can't be gettin' dark that quick," Hodge Podge commented, staring up at the darkness.
Sonic also noticed the approaching darkness and turned around, cranning his neck into the sky. As the shadow engulfed them, Sonic could make out a huge oval shape, "What is that thing?" he wondered aloud.
More fans began to stare and gawk at the object floating over them. It tipped forward and descended towards the infield. As the object's shadow moved off of them down towards the baseball diamond, Sonic's eyes widened, "I don't believe it! It's Dr. Robotnik's Robo-Blimp!"
Fans ducked under their seats as the giant egg-like blimp, decorated to look like Robotnik himself - complete with glaring red eyes and orange mustaches - dipped down towards the seats until it was about 20 feet above their heads.
"Whoa!" Tails exclaimed, "It's gonna land right on the field! But what's it doing here?"
"I don't know, but this can't be good..." Sonic frowned, "I'm gonna get a closer look!"
"Sonic, wait!" Miss Possum leaned down and grabbed his arm, "We're comin' with you!" The others stood and voiced a similar reply.
"No, this is way too dangerous. You guys need to stay up here where it's safe," Tails started to say something, but Sonic cut him off, "You too, Keed."
"Awww..." Tails sighed as Sonic zoomed down the stairs and out one of the exits. Tails turned around to face his friends, "C'mon guys! I don't care what Sonic says, if he's goin' against Robotnik, he's gonna need some help!" Tails took to the sky and flew down towards the field.
"Tails is right," MacHopper bounded down the stairs, "C'mon you blokes, let's help um!" The rest of Sonic's friends followed quickly after him.
