Eggman's Plans Put to Work... The First Challenge for the Guys

Eggman got a new plan for the Freedom Fighters' collapse. He decided to put the others through a challenge to get Sonine back. "Moohahaa!"

The next morning, Sonic got up to see what was on TV. Eggman came on the TV screen. "Hello, Sonic!" Eggman said.

"Not Eggman, not already! Gosh!" Sonic said.

"Yup, it's me, Sonic! Y'know, I still have your girl Merce­­ uhh, Sonine. And if you want her back, then, you will get me all of the Chaos Emeralds! Or else I will kill her, and you will never see her again! Moohahaaa!"

"Oh, no!"

Sonic had to tell Knuckles and Tails about this as soon as he heard about it. He told Knuckles all about Eggman's plan first.

"So, Knuckles, where did the Emeralds go anyway?" he asked.

"Let's see. If I remember correctly... they should be around Angel Island. You remember all them Secret Zones we did before?"

"Yeah..."

"That's where the Emeralds went, back in them."

"Oh, that's it!?" Sonic said, wondering. "Eggman should've given me a challenge, but the Special Stages, that's just so easy! I mean­"

"Sonic, the Secret Zones change every now and then. They could be a lot different now then they were the years ago that you had done them."

"Um...."

Knuckles later made out a map of where to go to get to the secret passage to the Emerald stages. He also warned Sonic not to go into the stages without him because, if you didn't beat, you would die.

The next day, Sonic went ahead to Angel Island where the map led him, without Knuckles. "What's up with warning me about a stupid thing like a SpecialStage?" Sonic said. "I've gone and done so many, how hard is this?"

Once Sonic reached the place where the Secret Zones were, a voice greeted him. "Are you Knuckles, the holder of the Master Emerald?" it asked. Sonic was about to go back since he knew Knuckles had to be with him to be let in, but instead he disguised his voice as Knuckles.

"Yeah, thats me. Now let me in, or­­"

"Okay, okay, go in!" the voice said, and Sonic went in. A door opened in front of Sonic and he went in. Another door was in front of him. He opened that, and walked in. Make that slid down; there was a chute in that door. "YAAAHH!!!" Sonic yelled as he slid down.

The next stop, no surprise, was another room. He was surrounded by four doors. "Doors, doors, doors! I thought this was the way to the Special Stages!" Sonic yelled.

"Choose a door," the voice said. "These lead straight to the Secret Zones."

"Finally!" Sonic said. He chose the door to his right and went in. He was drawn in by a powerful force he couldnt beat. "Whoa!" Sonic yelled.

"In this Zone, collect a certain amount of Rings in several parts to get the Emerald at the end," the voice told him.

Oh-kay... the RingRaces I did after I met Tails. I remember... Sonic passed every part of the Stage easily. After that, he grabbed the Emerald. Then voice then asked him, "Do you want to continue the search for the Emeralds now or later?"

Sonic thought a second. "Later."

Sonic raced back home. When he got to Knuckles he said, "Hey, Knuckles, I gotcha an Emerald!"

Knuckles looked at Sonic a second and then said, "I told you not to go without me," he said.

"But I gotcha an Emerald!" Sonic complained.

"Oh well. Gimme that!"
