Chapter 1: Victory?
The forest trembled as the three truckbots weaved through the trees at high speed. They were surprisingly agile for such large objects and were currently carrying a load of prisoners. A load that Sonic the Hedgehog intended to relieve them of as he streaked towards them like a blue comet. Sonia and Manic were busy with another job for the resistance, so Sonic was on his own. Not that he was bothered one bit by that fact.
"And I was hoping for some actual excitement this morning" Sonic complained to himself. He came up alongside one truckbot but it swiftly dodged through the trees. "Oh clever" Sonic quipped "But not clever enough!" He instantly caught up and Super Spun right through the engine, just like a saw blade. He landed on the other side and counted "3, 2, 1…" Boom! Right on cue the truck blew open, not only halting it but creating an escape route for the prisoners.
"No need to thank me!" Sonic announced to the grateful Mobians. "Now for your amigos" and with that he was off again. In no time he had made short work of truckbot number two and was chasing number three. He noticed that this one wasn't automated; rather it was being driven by Sleet and Dingo. "You won't beat us this time Sonic!" Sleet taunted. "Ahh, and I so had my heart set on doing just that." "Dingo, get out there and stop him!" "You got it Sleet" his dimwitted partner responded.
Dingo leapt from the truck and tried to tackle Sonic. Sonic easily sidestepped him and just kept running. Sleet muttered "That idiot!" and fired his morpher out the window and transformed Dingo into a motorized spiked wheel. The transfigured Dingo sped after Sonic tearing up the ground in the process. "Whoa, that will give you a close shave!" Sonic yelled as he dodged the murderous assailant. Dingo changed direction and pursed the slippery hedgehog all over the area. "Bummer Majores, look what he's doing to the forest!"
Suddenly, Sonic had a brainwave. He shouted "Come and get me, ya overgrown weed eater!" hoping it would get Dingo's attention. It did, causing Dingo to pursue Sonic even harder than before. Sonic caught up to Sleet's truck and stood on the hood. Dingo launched himself at hid prey just as Sonic dove to the side. Sleet barely had time to restore Dingo's true form before being knocked out like a light by his partner's massive bulk. His foot was jostled from the accelerator and onto the brake, causing the truck to halt. Sonic then proceeded to free the prisoners and set them on their way. "Score another one for the Sonic Underground! Now to catch up with a certain pair of siblings" and with that he streaked off towards Robotropolis.

Meanwhile, Doctor Robotnick was examining some incoming computer data with glee. "Excellent! This is exactly what I needed to complete my greatest experiment." The lab then rang with evil laughter.
