The battle was intense.

Well, not really.

Sonic quickly smashed up the last robot with ease. All throughout the arena there were broken pillars, scratches on the walls, and piles of ruined "badniks".

"Aw, yeah!" Sonic yelled, "How many robots were there?"

"Ten trillion, according to my estimations," Tails responded.

"Epic! That's a new record, isn't it?"

"Knuckles still holds the championship with ten trillion and one."

Sonic kicked a robot's head and growled. Although Tails didn't express it, he felt the same way. When was the last time he got to beat up a badnik, let alone touch one? He was old enough! He could build airplanes and rockets and spaceships for crying out-

"Hey, little bud, it's been a pretty long day, hasn't it? What say we go to our tent and play a few card games?"

"Can I help you fight next time, Sonic?"

"Nah, too dangerous. Maybe when you're a grown up."

Tails sighed, but followed him back to the tent.

Wouldn't it be cool to be a hero like Sonic? That would be sweet. You get fame, awards, friends, money- well, actually, not quite that much money, but you could still get some nice parts to build that new airplane you were thinking about and-

"Haw!" Sonic said, slapping down a card and picking up the pile. "You don't seem to be that observant today, little bud."

"Oh, sorry, I just- spaced out for a while..."

"You're not thinking of a girl, are you?..."

"WHAT!- I mean- is it my turn?" Tails asked.

Sonic smirked as Tails placed down his card. A seven, great. Maybe he's losing? Or bluffing? Whatever, I'll take my chances, he thought, placing down a queen.

"Behold, my latest creation!" Robotnik bellowed throughout the palace. "Bot 92AD3, report to the main station immediately!"

A humanoid robot quickly entered the stage, and sat down. "Awaiting further instruction."

Robotnik giggled, excited that he created the ray-gun that would destroy Sonic! It was fool-proof! He picked up the gun and fired at the robot.

92AD3 took a direct hit and...

...danced. Not the old step, step, step sort of thing, but break-dance! Immediately, a disco ball appeared from the roof with hip-hop music accompanying.

"Turn it off! Turn that-"

Before Robotnik chose a few adjectives that would make this story M rated, the robot turned the music off with a remote control.

"What's your problem, big daddy?"

"Just proceed with your dancing, you metallic moron."

Thankfully for him, said bot went back to break dancing, as if nothing happened.

"How do I change him back? Oh, that's right, I haven't installed that part yet. But I don't care. And it doesn't matter. Sonic is going to finally, finally lose! BWAHAHAHA!"

His bellowing filled up the palace.

Amy Rose walked through a forest and searched for Sonic. Beautiful trees surrounded the path, and flowers of all sorts covered the area. Mountains with ice peaks were the background, along with a rainbow. But everything went unnoticed by the hedgehog.

"I wonder if I should have brought a gift. What does he like?" she thought for a bit. What could impress him?

"Actually, he wouldn't care about anything like that, would he? He would just like me for who I am!" she bounced off, with new inspiration to find her one true love.

"See that wretched wretch over there?" Robotnik asked 92AD3. "I want you to capture her! Quickly!"

"Tell me why, big daddy."

"She's bait! Sonic will try to rescue her!"

92AD3 danced up to Amy.

Robotnik watched as she took out a hammer and smashed the robot. "At last!" he cried. "My stupid robot, finally destroyed! But now to get the girl!"

With the press of a button, a hook extended from his Egg Carrier and grabbed one of Amy's legs. Amy pulled out her hammer in attempt to smash the hook, but three other hooks extended. She became completely immobile, save her mouth.

"Sonic, HEEELLLPPP!"

Without further ado, Robotnik forced the pink hedgehog into a brown sack, and took off in the Egg Carrier.

The forest returned to its normal state. The only evidence for the kidnapping was a hammer and a broken robot on the dirt path.

The End of Chapter 1

Note:

I'm more open to criticism now than I was a while ago. I'd rather not have "This story is awesome!" or "This story stinks!" At least tell me why.

Edit: Thanks for all the reviews, guys. I might have the next chapter out in a week... (October 10th)
