Okay, here's the second and final part of the prologue. After this, the stories will be divided up and like in most of the current Sonic games, the story is told through certain character pair perspectives. And the character pairing will be named as thusly: Heroes, Sidekicks, Partners, Damsels, Tomboys, Trios, Magical Duos, Dark, and Robots. Obviously some of them like the hero pair will be easy to figure out while others will be not. Anyway, on with the story.
Any Nintendo or Sega character is not my property.
Prologue (part 2): Unholy Matchamony
Location: One of Eggman's Many Hidden Bases
A few days later, it wasn't long before Dr. Ivo Robotnik, better known as Dr. Eggman, began working on a new master plan in his base.
"Let's see," Eggman said while stroking his mustache. "I know. I'll build a giant ship and threatened the world to bow down to me. It's brilliant!"
Eggman laughed. Then frowned as he realized something, "Wait… every time I did that, that blasted hedgehog and his do gooder friends always find a way to blow out of the sky or make it come crash down in flames… WITH ME IN IT. I need a new plan!"
Eggman then started to think harder than ever before. "Maybe science alone just isn't doing it. What I need is something to not replace. No. But simply assist it. If I can get my hands on one Chaos Emerald, I can use it to assist me."
Eggman typed in a few words a command to find the current general locations of the Chaos Emeralds. But for some reason, it took as awfully long time to do.
"I built this computer from scratch myself," Eggman boasted, yet complained. "How come it's taking a long time to find the Emeralds?"
The computer has finally found the location of the emeralds. However, there was a slight problem: Only three of the emeralds were located and the computer shows that their power seems to be twice as strong.
"Hmm," Eggman smirked. "I can only find these three and my plans will be foolproof. But I wonder where are the other four Emeralds are. I MUST know about this."
For the next few hours, Eggman was researching this phenomenon. He was scanning through any book, article, or documentary about the Chaos Emeralds and their history.
"I know the emeralds were originally guarded by the Chao. But I did wonder who guarded them before the Chao. Or even, who created the Emeralds in the first place."
Eggman was racking his brain until he found something useful. He researched it for a bit. Then he came to a conclusion.
"Ah so that's it. The remaining Emeralds are in another world!"
Eggman did a funny breakdance before getting back to work. He discovered an old saying passed down among generations.
"Oh Stars. A halfway world like this isn't good for us," Eggman recited. "Yes, that's it. I've heard this saying my entire life. It's a saying when times are bad."
Eggman then went into a deeper thought. "But mentioning stars in the beginning? Could it be nothing? Or something more?"
Eggman went into a deeper research of the world. He looked into the research of his world in the past and also evolutionary cycles. He discovered that a certain type of fungi began to evolve around the same time as humans and animals did but for some reason, he couldn't find anything else about this issue. Eventually, the majority of his research mentions a temple not very far from the Mystic Ruins.
"Hmmm, yes a scout robot mentioned seeing a temple while heading to the Mystic Ruins."
Eggman knew that this would be the find of a lifetime. And that would mean he would have to exploit this possible new world for his own needs.
"Then it's settled," Eggman declared. "I'm going to this temple with the help of a few badniks. We'll discover this new world and take its materials for our own!"
Eggman then laughed evilly. " HAHAHAHAHAH ACK ACK! ARGH!"
Eggman was gasping for air for laughing too hard.
Location: The Odd Temple
The next day, Eggman, in his Egg Walker, and fifteen badniks, Metal Sonic included, were at the footsteps of the temple. The badniks were various robots from Genesis games. Eggman felt nostalgic this time around.
"This is it. Try and make sure to be careful. When we enter this temple, we could be in there for hours. And I wouldn't want my own servants to be destroyed. That would release and free the captive animal inside you, you know."
"YES SIR!" The badniks saluted.
They entered the temple. And saw that the temple only contained one room and that the exit was just on the other side.
"Hey, this wasn't fun!" Eggman whined!
"Nonsense, I had a BLAST!" a Coconuts said excitedly.
He then stomped up and down towards the exit.
"I wanted to conquer a new world! It's just not fair. It's just not….. AHHHHHHH!"
Eggman noticed that when he exited the temple, he was in a different forest. And it was none he ever seen before. Of course, it was only subtle things that gave it away: Floating cubes with a question mark on them, flowers with eyes that burped fire every now, mushrooms with eyes, an orange top with stops and then, clouds in the sky that was ether solid, and not water vapor, or they had a face.
You know, only SUBTLE things.
Eggman was in awe. "This place is breath taking. I can't WAIT to mess it up!"
One of the baniks mentions that an area overrun with volcanoes and lava is not that far from here.
"Yes, that location will be perfect for my new base. Let's move, but stay hidden."
Location: Near Bowser's Castle
They managed to get through the volcanic area and saw a castle. The castle contained a dinosaur's head on its front. In front of the castle's entrance, two turtles were standing guard.
"Hmm. There are even turtles in this world too." Eggman said as he started walking up to them.
The turtles were carrying hammers and wearing green helmets on their heads. They noticed that some guy and robots were walking up towards them.
"State your name and business," one of the turtles ordered.
"My name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist. And soon to be the world's greatest ruler. And I want to use this castle as my new headquarters."
The turtles just looked at each other and then laughed their heads off. Eggman, not liking the fact that he isn't taken seriously, ordered two of badniks, a pair of Motorbugs, to take down the turtles. And the Motorbugs simply ram into the turtles and sent them flying.
"We're blasting off again!" The turtles screamed as they disappeared into the sky.
Eggman had enough, "Prepare for battle mode. We're taking this castle by force!"
Meanwhile, inside the castle, Bowser was throwing a fit and stomping the ground!
"It's not fair!" Bowser shouted. "I was so sure that my plan to kidnapped Princess Peach was foolproof!"
"Well sir, Mario isn't a fool we would want him to be," Kamek answered.
Just when Bowser was going to burn Kamek to a crisp a large explosion was heard.
"What the heck?" Bowser said. "Oh did Petey Piranha play with the atomic Bob-ombs again?"
Just then, a Hammer Bro. ran up to Bowser.
"Sir, we need you!" the Hammer Bro cried. "Some overweight, bald headed man is causing destruction with a bunch of freak robots!"
Bowser was shocked. "No one destroys my castle and gets away with it. Kamek get my best men ready."
"Yes sir."
"I don't know who this clod is. But nobody messes with the King of Koopas."
"I prefer the title 'King of Guys Who Talk to Posters' better"
Bowser looked to his youngest son, Bowser Jr.
"I'll help too, papa," he said as he used his paintbrush to transform into Shadow Mario.
"At a boy, my son."
Eggman was having a blast. He was avoiding lava pits and destroying traps and turtle minions. It was like a video game to him.
"It's like the time I infiltrated the G.U.N. base," Eggman said as he looked around. "Only more volcanic."
Eggman and his 10 remaining robots stopped to see a giant turtle dragon, some guy in a liquid state, and ten more turtles who were wearing spiked armor.
The giant turtle spoke first, "Three questions. Who are you? What are you doing here? And how should I punish you?"
"My name is Dr. Eggman and I need your castle as my own headquarters. As for the third question….. nah you can't harm me."
"Sheesh Egg-twit!" the giant turtle remarked. "How dare you enter my, King Bowser, castle without my permission? Therefore I shall cause a slow and painful death. Koopas ATTACK!"
"Badniks EXTERMINATE!"
The great battle has begun. Bowser wasted no time stomping on three robots. Freeing animals from their prison.
"Where am I?" a flicky said. It the looked up and fainted at the sight of Bowser. The other two animals ran away.
Eggman blasted three spiked turtles, called Koopatrol, into a wall and they fainted.
Shadow Mario fired goop from his paintbrush at Metal Sonic but the robotic hedgehog used a black shield to protect himself.
Eggman fired shots at Bowser. Bowser hid in his shell to protect himself. Bowser threw hammers at Eggman but Eggman dodged with ease.
The battle went on in a stalemate with Bowser and Eggman dodging the other's shots.
Eggman was now becoming impatient. "That's it. No more games!"
A glow began to form in Eggman's walker. Bowser gulped.
"Great," Bowser sarcastically said. "The ol' ultimate laser trick." But then, Bowser smirked, "I have one as well."
Bowser took a deep breath and blew out fire. Eggman fired his Power Laser. The power from both attacks caused an explosion engulfing everyone. When it subsided, the only that stood was Eggman and Bowser. Of course, they both had better ideas.
"How about a truce?" Eggman suggested.
"You read my mind," Bowser smiled.
Location: In Bowser's Throne Room
Bowser and Eggman were sitting around discussing their past trials: Which consists of failures due to the constant meddling of two certain people. The baniks and Koopas began to fix the castle after their skirmish.
"So that's when the idiot burned me enough to make me lose my balance off the bridge and fall into the lava making me expire. For like the fifth time!" Bowser said.
"Interesting," Eggman pondered. "I, to, manage to expire a couple of times as well."
"You don't say."
"Of course. Surviving an explosion of an artificial mini planet that I created, another one crashing down in flames, a blast from a liquid monster, and mugged by three cold blooded animals because I didn't pay them. All because of that idiot that I have to deal with."
Bowser rubbed his chin. "We managed to cheat the Grim Reaper plenty of times. Meh, the cat hating idiot."
"Excuse me," Eggman said.
"It's nothing," Bowser muttered. "So as you were saying, we worked to take over both of our worlds. You claim that four of these 'Chaos Emeralds' happened to be on this world."
"Correct."
"And you say that they're currently twice as more powerful than ever."
"Correct."
"So how do you propose we go about finding them?"
"Well, an assistant of mine recently told me that he had captured that bloody God of Destruction in my world and is sending him here. I suggest that we first send minions all over to start their own means of destruction of our worlds."
"Hmmm," Bowser thought. "Causing ruckuses? Simple., yet effective. And are you sure that this will distract our foes long enough?"
"Yes, meanwhile, I'm going back to my world to get supplies and badniks. Give me one of your strongest warriors to cause chaos. One that is also obedient."
"Take Petey Piranha." Bowser suggested. "He's a bit slow, but he can get the job done."
"Perfect. And I'll send you Chaos over to this world as well. He may need to be tamed though."
"No problem. Taming is mine middle name."
"Perfect! Pretty soon, our plans will be in full set!"
The villains laughed evilly as they were sure that they would not fail this time.
Location: ??
Meanwhile, in another place unknown to both worlds. A group of villains watch in solitude.
"My disciples. Given a chance at density. It is now our time. Go. Investigate. Find me the six remaining Emerald Stars. And you will be given what you most desire."
His disciples then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Just you wait. The worlds will be mine again as it was before."
So the true villain finally had a short speaking role. Of course, these villains are just a simple parody of another group of villains. And when the time comes, I'm sure you can quickly pick up on the original villains these bad guys are.
Next up however, it's the start of the Hero Story of Mario and Sonic. Also for the fun of it, certain Mario and Sonic characters will be hosting the story.
