Scene 2: Ginkgo tries to explain

Ginkgo rushed further into the road he traveled. He was desperate for clues to what Eggman was planning to due. So in an instant he took off and ran out of the neighborhood. Ginkgo soon sprung into the air with a high jump due to his spring shoes and started soaring in the air.

Ginkgo soon reached the mountains, where he saw a base with a familiar symbol on it. The green hedgehog saw Eggman walking out of it while riding his Egg Walker. Ginkgo crept closer to a wall, attempting to be unseen by the one riding the vehicle. Ginkgo did a pretty fascinating job just hiding behind the rocky mountain's side. He manages to hear a bit of what Eggman was saying to himself when he was just almost right next to Ginkgo.

"My plan will be perfect!" said Eggman as he laughed with himself again "The only way Sonic can stop me is if he's willing to take the chances, and free the dark energy within him. If he can't accept that, then he might as well quit!" continued Eggman.

Ginkgo gasped a bit, as he heard more of Eggman's plan. Eggman crept a bit further from the area. Ginkgo especially didn't like hearing the words 'darkness' and 'Sonic' used n the same sentence.

"I have to find Sonic, I should tell him about this information" said Ginkgo. He then turned back to hear a bit more from the egghead.

"Once I find the darkness orbs, the floating islands will rise. Once that is done, the world will fall into eternal darkness!" he flirted "Then, when I feel like it. . . I will offer to bring some of the light back only if I can control your world, Sonic!"

"You evil jerk!" blurted Ginkgo as he revealed himself unintentionally "Eeps!" he screamed. Ginkgo knew now that he had exposed himself, and now Eggman was walking towards him, casting his fat shadow around Ginkgo. Eggman pulled on Ginkgo's ears as he found him

"You're eavesdropping on me?" he asked, "That doesn't seem like an act coming from a light creature like you" he exclaimed to Ginkgo as he yanked hard on Ginkgo's ears.

"You're not getting away with this! Sonic will stop you, in time! Just wait and see, he will stop you!"

"Just try to tell him what I'm doing! You can't even remember a simple name like mine. Even if I told you now, you'd probably forget in an instance. For I am 'Robotnik' now try to remember that!" said Eggman as he continued along the path. Ginkgo glanced at Eggman as he soared into the sky.

When he lost site of Eggman, Ginkgo jumped off the mountain and started soaring.

"I gotta find Sonic! Knowing him, he might be spending time in Station Square" he suggested to himself. So he flew into the city, which he was getting a bit tired of doing. Usually Ginkgo would be up for adventure but today, he just seems really tired with getting from one destination to another all the time. Eventually he returned to the city, but there was no site of the Blue Blur anywhere. Ginkgo walked up to a shop manager, and asked if they saw Sonic run around here or anything similar.

"I saw the hedgehog earlier today. He and his friends stopped for a drink around the Café over there on that corner" the shop manager continued "Then they saw a message being broadcasted on the TV screens all over town. They then said they were heading out to do something about the situation".

"Thanks, mister!" Ginkgo spoke politely "Did they tell you where they were heading?" Ginkgo asked, in the need of knowing. The Shop manager shook his head

"Sorry, but they didn't tell me. They just started off" the shop manager answered back

"That's okay!" replied Ginkgo "I'll try to find them on my own. I'm pretty good at doing it also," said Ginkgo as he went off.

He first tried back at Sonic's house, but he found that no one was in the house when he knocked on the door a few times. Ginkgo didn't give up yet, so he tried the beach next. He didn't suspect them to be there, and they weren't there. Ginkgo soaked his head with a water bottle, and continued. He next tried the forest he usually stayed and hanged out in. It turns out that Sonic and the others were there. They were standing around the tree that Ginkgo often rests on. Ginkgo had marked the tree with a blue sash earlier, which identifies it from the other trees for him.

"You think perhaps Ginkgo is around here?" asked Sonic

"If he is, we should warn him.," suggested Tails. Ginkgo was happy to see Sonic around, and he headed to tell Sonic about what he knew He took up the speed and sprinted towards his hero.

"Sonic!" he called "I have news for you"

"Ginkgo?" answered Sonic

Ginkgo stopped instantly as he neared Sonic and started waving his arms up and down, a bit uncertain of how he should tell Sonic of what he knows.

"There's this evil dude with his evil plans again," Ginkgo shouted while continuously squirming his hands up and down in the air.

"Oh, good! You know! This will save time for explanation. We should get going, guys! We have to know more about Eggman's plans." Ginkgo told them to stay, and he told him that he knew a few things and was going to tell them.

"Sonic! Some guy called R'ohcko. . . no, Nikro? Roofus? Robert? Rings?"-

"You trying to tell me something?" asked Sonic

"No, I'm trying to remember that name!" Ginkgo shouted as he twisted his ear a bit "I can't remember his name!" he cried "His name. . . his name is. . . Boise. . . Rusty. . . I can't remember the name!"

"Well when you do, come back to us! The information you have seems pretty important! And you're rushing too much. Come back to us later kid, we'll be around my house most likely, trying to find out what Eggman is up to" said Sonic starting off. Suddenly, Ginkgo's head flashed as he saw Eggman pulling his ears

"That's it! Eggman!" shouted Ginkgo to himself "Sonic! Come back" he called out

"Yeah, Ginks?" replied Sonic as he turned around and faced Ginkgo again.

"The plan is that the world will be engulfed in eternal darkness when the 3 floating islands rise and the 3 orbs are placed on those islands. If this is done, it'll almost be impossible to restore light to our world. You must stop it before it happens!"

"Whose idea is it?" asked Sonic with all ears

"E- eer. . ." paused Ginkgo "I forgot again!" Ginkgo shouted as he slapped his face "Geez! I'm stupid!" he cursed at himself

"I'm sorry I'm saying this, Ginkgo! But I think you're making up stories!" answered Sonic in a squeaky and nervous tone voice "I want to believe you, but you seem to be making up all these names, so it's making it hard for me to understand!" Sonic twitched his ear a bit "Perhaps it was just a recent dream you had or something" Sonic suggested

"Sonic! I heard it with my own ears! They even tugged my ears, and it still hurts!" moaned Ginkgo.

"Just calm down, Ginkgo! I'm sure you'll get the message through, you might be telling the truth, but everything you're mentioning just doesn't seem to make sense" quoted Tails for a defense

"Try harder next time to remember such names"

"Okay!" said Ginkgo as he walked off; upset and depressed he couldn't warn Sonic correctly, and most importantly, he couldn't even tell who was planning everything. Ginkgo ran towards another region in the forest and ran up a tree

"You think the kid will be okay?" Tails asked

"Maybe" answered Sonic "Let's just go back to my house" he concluded. So then they went to Sonic's house
