"What did you just say?!" shouted Robotnik. "You're joking?!?!"
"No, sir! Why would I kid you on somethin' like that?" said Metal Sonic.
"You mean Sonic and Tails and Sally and even that girl fox... GONE?!?!"
"Yes, sir!" replied MS.
"Stupendous!! Like I always say, get'em when they're down... Metal Sonic!! Go to Knothole now!! You won't be able to keep a digital map because of some enchantment.. I've tried. But if you can find the village, you can crush the Freedom Fighters!!" roared Robotnik. I'll use my new Ground Serpent to keep track of you. Go!!" finished Dr. Robotnik, running to a base full of robots. Metal Sonic went outside to the hanger.
"I'm waiting..." he said, tapping his foot. "C"monnn!!" Right as he said that, the hanger door slid open and a metallic and agile snake flew out, diving into the ground, leaving only the tp of his tail sticking out as a scope. "Lead the way, Metal Sonic!!" shouted Robotnik.
Metal Sonic ran through the Great Forest and after Knothole.

"Sonic, where are we?" asked Tails, looking around at hundreds of huge skeleons of dinosaurs and other beasts. "I dunno, lil bro.. Looks like a prehistoric graveyard." Sonic said, looking up at the grey sky. "...A _muddy_ graveyard." complained Sally, pulling her foot out of a pothole in the mud. "Uhhh, do skeletons move?" asked Christin.
"Nope. Don't think so." Sonic replied.
"Then tell that dead Triceratops!!" shouted Christin, holding her hands together, palms facing a walking skeleton of a triceratops. A beam of energy shot at the Triceratops, turning it to dust.
Tails looked up in amazement.. "How'd you do that?!" he asked. "No time!" shouted Christin as a Raptor stood up. Sonic started a spin dash and took out the raptor as four more sprouted out of the ground. Three ran away. "We'll get'em!" said Sally, running after the left one. Tails flew after the middle, and Christin ran to the right one. Sonic spin-dashed the remaining skeleton to dust.

"Good job hedgehog!!" echoed an annoying high-pitched voice, followed by a hysterical cackle. "Now take this!!" A giant Tyranasaurus Rex climbed up, biting at Sonic. Sonic jumped through it's mouth, and out the back. "Aww man, I forgot. No skin." complained the voice. "Bye-bye now!" The T-Rex fell apart as it hit the ground, tossing Sonic back about twenty feet. A jester wearing blue and white floated down to the ground. His face looked as if it were made of glass, and was frozen in an eerie smile. "Why did I even attempt to rely on skeletons? That was ridiculous!" laughed the jester. "Well, I can serve my master well anyway.. Where are the Chaos Emeralds, blue-boy?" asked the jester, his face suddenly changing to a confused, puzzled face with yellow eyes.
"What emerald?" said Sonic, posed for battle.
"Don't give me that, you know danged well what emerald!!" shouted the jester, his face turning into a wicked and sinister face. "I guess I have to FORCE IT OUT OF YOU!!!!" he roared, shooting a ball of string at Sonic. It missed and detonated on a tree, making a fairly large explosion. "Whoa! What's your problem!?" shouted Sonic. "My problemm izzat YOU and yer little pals are hidinng a Chaos Emewald!!" shouted the Jester, his eyes turning red. He shot what looked like puppet strings at Sonic. Sonic dodged, and the strings wrapped into a pack of ten Veloceraptors. "Their mouths are too small to jump through, Hedgehog!! Let's see you get past THIS!!!!" The jester's face turned into a sick, demented, laughing face. "Attack!" he said merrily as teh veloceraptors charged at Sonic. Sonic spin-dashed them apart. Sonic was about to laugh when their bones re-assembled. "Oh forgot to mention..." said the jester. "They rebuild themselfs." He rolled over in mid-air laughing as the raptors charged Sonic again. "Man, this guy's sick!" said Sonic, dodging a raptor. "This is my playground!" said the jester, attaching control strings to something. Just then, the jester flew up and a man's corpse came out of the ground with rotting flesh and an eye hanging out of the socket. "This is one of my 'friends'. He came here while my Master was in rule. Unfortunately, he stayed long enough for me to enchant these exact same veloceraptors attacking you!" he chuckled. Sonic just noticed dried blood on the claws and teeth of the raptors as one almost ripped into his arm. "By the way, my name is Jestros! Glad to kill you!" said the clown formally before hysterically laughign again.

Sonic dodged another raptor, spin-dashing it and breaking its rib cage. The dinosaur fell apart for a second, then was peiced back together by the strings. "Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaah!!!! Give it up, you fool!! Run!!! Run!!!!" shouted Jestros. Sonic spin-dashed one more Raptor over and over, turning it into dust. The strings fell to the ground and sizzled for a second before disappearing. The jester's face suddenly changed from sickeningly histerical to aggrivated and pouting. "Oh, poo." said Jestros. "You dusted one. Nine to go!!" he said merrily, changing back to his blood-thirsty happiness face. Sonic thought face while the jester was distracted and dusted all nine others, and the zombie man. Jestro stopped laughing to attack again.. "What the heck... NO!!! You ALREADY dusted them ALL!?!?!?!?" shouted the jester. "Arrrggghhh!!! This calls for drastic mesures!! Now you've gotz to deal with MEeeee!!!!!!!" shouted Jestros, flying down to Sonic and attaching strings to the hedgehog. "What the--?!" said Sonic before the Jester started spinning, hurling Sonic along with the strings. The jester broke the stings, sending Sonic flying into the remaints of a Brachiasaurus. Sonic jumped up and Spin-Dashed the jester's gut. The jester flew back his face still twisted with blood-lust and happiness. "Hahahahahaaah!! That hurt!!! NOT!!!!" he shouted, shooting more bomb strings at Sonic. Sonic spin-dashed the jester in the face, dodging the bombs. "Haha---- AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!" roared the clown, throwing Sonic back and holding his face. He made a mirror with strings and looked at his face.. "You've cracked my face!!!!!!" shotued Jestro, looking at the crack under his left eye.

Tails flew into the graveyard right as the jester attached some more strings to Sonic. "Tails, run!!" shouted Sonic, aiming a spin-dash at Tails. "What are you doing Sonic!!??" shouted Tails, dodging the Spin-Dash. "He's unnder my conntrol!!" laughed the jester with the cracked face. "Aim for his face!!" shouted Sonic, trying to stop from attacking Tails. Tails threw napalm bombs at the jester, barely missing the face each time. The jester laughed liek a psychopath, making Sonic Spin-Dash at Tails every second.
"This is nuts!!" shouted Tails, dodging another attack. The jester tied up Tails in unbreakable strings and made Sonic freeze in place, wrapping the enchanted puppet strings around Sonic. "This is too easy!!" laughed the jester. Just then, a beam of energy nearly hit the Jester in the face. "Wh-What was that?!?!" he shouted. He saw a female squirrel with a computer, typing something in, right before another beam shot out of the little laptop. "ArrgHH!!" shotued the jester, tying up Sally in more enchanted strings. "And I thought tents were bad!" said Sonic, his voice muffled by Jestros threads.

"This has been all too easy!!" laughed the jester, pulling out a staff with a diamond-blade on one end.. "And this Jester Lance will be more than enough to finish you!!"

"Well, this's a fine kettle'a fish!!" shouted Alex. "If m'guess is right, that tin-headed Met'l Sonic'll be com'in soon!!" He took out his sword and put a spiked glove on his other hand. "What's that, Alexi?" asked Bunnie, holding her robotic arms in fists, ready to fight MS if he was coming.
"Oh, this?" Alex replied, holding his gloved hand up. "All the pir-- ah-- all my friends wear'em."
"Well, this aughtta atleast drive ol' metal-head outta here." said Bunnie, picking up a bouldar.

The Jester was getting ready to slice Sonic in half. A beam of energy shot at the Jester, slamming him into a tree face-first and making another crack pver the Jester's mouth. "OUCH!! WHO THE HECK DARES TO DEFY ME!?!?!?" shouted the jester, his face suddenly racked with pain and demented wickedness. "I dare to!!" shouted Christin, holding her palms together and blasting at Jester again, slamming him through two skeletons without effect. "Missed me, missed me!!" shotued Jestros, shooting enchanted strings at Christin. Christin countered with another beam.. "Take.. THIS!!!" she shouted, shooting a beam at a the jester, bursting his mask insto peices, revealing... A hole where his face should be!?!!!

"YOU FOOL!!!!" roared the jester, his voice suddenly monstrous and distorted. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE!?!???" Jestros said, covering his face, which was now flashing yellow light. "Yep. I killed you."
"NO!!! it is NOT that simple, you twit... BUT I LIKE IT BETTER THIS WAY!!! HAHAHAH!!!! BECAUSE WHEN I GO DOWN I TAKE YOU WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Christin quickly un-tied Tails and flew away with Sally. Tails flew away with Sonic to avoid the blast. "NoooO!!! DANG IT!!!! ATLEAST MY MASTER SHALL BE IN POWER AGAIN SOON!!!!!!! SO LONG, SUCKERS!!!!" laughed the jester one last time before causing a huge blast of yellow light, making a black hole to the Void for about five seconds. Tails, Christin, and the others were well otu of range by then.

"You fool!" echoad a voice with an odd mixture of pain and evil. "How could you let them shatter your face so easily!?" the black-robed figure shouted at a ghost of a jester. "I am truly sorry, Master, but you still have more servants." said Jestros. "Yes.." said the hooded figure. ".. I suppose so... Leave, and come back when I am free. I shall revive you then."
"It is only a matter of time.." laughed the hooded man, "..before I will rule again!!"
