Bleh, getting' dramatic and hopefully exciting for you guys!

The song became louder and clearer as Sonic raced towards the dimly glimmering mountain. He could make out more and more of the song as the wind rustled through his quills. The sky became darker, but it was still light enough to see properly. The sound of his shoes echoed through the forest as he ran. Then, suddenly, Sonic stopped, spluttering dirt and dust everywhere. In front of him stood something so large is seemed to fill the whole sky! It seemed to be a massive kind of machine. Sonic looked at it; he was sure he had seen something of the sort before, back when he was a small hedgehog… He came closer and saw the ground moving. Thousands, or even millions of tiny crab-like badniks were crawling on the ground all around the machine, and once in a while a group of them would bring up a chunk of metal and attach it to the machine.

         And then it struck him: it was the R.O.C.C. (refer to Sonic Ravette Books Comic: Sonic the Hedgehog Spin Attack) He heard the words in his head as if this event happened yesterday. "The Retro-Orbital Chaos Compressor." Came the voice of Ovi Kintobor, the future Ivo Robotnik. "By using the Golden Rings of Mobius I have been able to transfer most of the planets evil into these six Emeralds." Sonic looked up. Sure enough, there were slots for what looked like elephants, but in the shape of a Chaos Emerald. And above that, there were misshaped, yet the same-sized slots for something else. Sonic assumed that those were the spaces for those weird, misshaped Emeralds he had seen when he had encountered that hooded creature. But there was another slot… small compared to the others. It may have fitted a creature. The words continued in Sonic's head: "My mission is to rid planet Mobius of evil forever! Unfortunately I have been unable to find the seventh Emerald. Without this the R.O.C.C. is terribly unstable." Yes… thought Sonic, there seems to be one Chaos Emerald still missing. That means I've still got time to stop this thing, whatever its up to. The creature still had to find one Emerald, and Sonic knew where it was. It was safe in Tails secret room, where he kept his special inventions and gadgets. Sonic heard a rustle in a near by bush, and ran off as quietly and quickly as he could back in the direction of his house. He had to tell Tails and Knuckles what he had seen. He was too busy thinking about what he had just seen to noticed a dark shadow grin from the near by bush. 

         "So I was right about you being very curious…" it murmured.  

There. I'm gonna make the next few bits exciting for you guys, so you don't fall asleep in the middle of reading this. :P
