"How much farther do we have to go?" I asked Lynx. He took out his map and looked at it for a minute.

"It should be...right in that jungle," he said as he pointed ahead. Sure enough, there was a thick jungle just ahead of us.

"You could lose a whole city in that jungle," I stated as I looked at it. It looked HUGE!

"Ah, stop your complaining. If Eggman went through here, so can we," Lynx replied.

He was right. Just because it looked a little intimidating doesn't mean that we were going to go running back.

"Right," I said as we entered the jungle.

Strange shrubs and plants I have never seen before in my life were around us as we pressed on into the center of the jungle. Bugs of strange colors flew around us. I slapped an annoying mosquito off my back and concentrated on getting through this. Most importantly, however, I was trying not to get lost.

"As long as we walk in a straight line, we will find our way out of here easily," I said to Lynx. He nodded.

Suddenly we were on the edge of a clearing. I peered through the branches of a tree at the scene ahead of me. A strange red and white cat was tied up... and the locals didn't look too friendly. Even though they were Chao, they looked...evil. They were dancing to some weird tune and I heard the cat mumble,

"I'm gonna die."

"What do we do?" I asked Lynx.

"You distract them, I'll set the cat free," he said. I nodded and charged forward into the clearing, booting a Chao into the air with my foot as I did so.

'I can't use my spear's piecing abilities... I'm not too fond of becoming a murderer of Chao anytime soon,' I thought to myself as I nailed another with the rod-like handle of my spear.

"Get him!" a Chao that appeared to be the leader yelled as he pointed at me.

Well, now there was one problem. I didn't use my weapon, but they did. Long sticks, with a sharpened end just like a spear. They charged at me and I took a few steps backward. Just before they reached me I swung out with the handle of my own spear in a wide arc, taking out about ten of them with one blow.

Suddenly I felt one jump onto my back and it raised its spear above my head, preparing to strike.

All of a sudden I heard a CLANG and he fell off my back. I took a quick glance behind me to see the cat with a frying pan in his hands, as though it were a legendary weapon. Even though he looked a little ridiculous, I knew he meant business, and I was glad he was on my side.

"Thanks," I said as I kicked another annoying Chao away from me.

"Hey, you guys saved me, I owe you one!" he said as he put the pan away. The few Chao that were remaining took off in different directions in the jungle. However, one remained.

"Let me have this one," the cat said as he glared at the Chao. "Chappy, you're mine."

"Klim! The emerald's over here!" I heard Lynx yell from through the trees.

I dashed off towards where I heard his voice and found myself at a small shrine. Lynx was inside with his arms crossed, looking at a statue with the Chaos Emerald in its belly. I took the jewel out of the statue and watched as it sparkled in the light.

"Finders keepers," Lynx said as he snatched the gem away from me.

"Oh...Fine! But the next one is mine!" I shouted at him.

"Hey guys," the cat said as he came back towards us.

"Any problems?" I asked.

"Just a few minor difficulties, but nothing major," the cat replied.

I looked at him carefully. There was something familiar about him. Red and white fur, white hat and shoes, frying pan...

"Wait a second! You're Kit Kat, aren't you!?" I shouted.

He seemed a little surprised to hear his name, but he nodded. "How do you know?" he asked.

"I'm Klim," I said as I introduced myself. "And this is Lynx. You might know us better if we told you we were XPERT and Miles Tails Prower, however."

"Oh, XPERT! I am in here because of you!" Kit Kat exclaimed. I was a little shocked. How did he get in this mess?

"...But I didn't send any other emails besides the one to Lynx," I said as I thought about it.

"I didn't get sucked in here because of an email! I just clicked on your profile and I ended up here!" Kit Kat shouted. Lynx and I looked at each other with a little bit of shock. If anyone could end up here by just clicking on my profile...

"We have to hurry!" Lynx yelled, grabbing my arm. "Before anyone else gets stuck in here!"

"Right! Kit Kat, you with us?" I asked.

"Why would I say no? Oh man, another adventure! I can hardly wait!"

We rushed off into the jungle...which really wasn't a smart thing at all.

"Kit Kat, I thought you said you knew where we were going!" Lynx yelled as he smashed his fist against a tree.

To put it quite simply, we were lost.

"BONZAI!!!" A Chao yelled as it jumped down out of the trees. I smashed it with my fist in the air and it fell to the ground.

"Those things are really getting annoying," I said to nobody in particular. "Almost as bad as Omochaos."

"Hey, it would be actually helpful to have one right about now that tells us which way to go," Kit Kat pointed out as we walked on.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," I replied.

I looked to the right to see something gray leaning against a tree. I walked over to it and looked at it for a bit. Suddenly I realized what it was.

"One of Eggman's robots!" I shouted as I pointed at it. Kit Kat and Lynx were at my side in a second, looking at it.

It was covered in a weird purple-colored slime, and it was definitely deactivated.

"What could have done this?" Kit Kat asked as he looked at it. I saw him shudder.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I don't like it," Lynx said.

Suddenly I thought of something. I raced towards the tree and started to climb it.

"What are you doing now?" Lynx asked as he looked up at me.

"If I can get to the top, I may be able to see which way is out of this place," I shouted down.

"Good idea!" Kit Kat shouted.

"...Only if he doesn't break his neck," I heard Lynx mumble. I decided to ignore it.

I climbed to the top and looked around.

"If we head that-a-way," I said, pointing to the left, "we should get out of here."

I jumped down out of the tree and landed on my feet. 'Hey, not bad,' I thought to myself as we walked on through the jungle.

A couple of minutes later we exited the jungle. I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked at the regular ol' grass that was all over. I looked at the sky to see it was getting dark.

"That was almost too easy!" I exclaimed. "Let's take up camp for the night." I propped my head up on a rock. Granted, it wasn't very comfortable, but it was better than nothing.

"You're going to sleep on the ground? Why not sleep in style?" Kit Kat asked as he pulled out some balloons from his pocket.

"How are balloons going to help us?" I asked as I sat up.

"These aren't balloons! They're inflatable air mattresses!" he yelled.

"Don't you think it'll take a while to blow that thing up?" I asked.

"Why don't you find out?" he asked as he tossed me one of my own. I groaned and started to blow it up. Lynx got one of his own from Kit Kat and started working on it also.

An hour later we all collapsed on our air mattresses. I was exhausted and fell asleep almost right away. After all, I was beat. Blowing up those mattresses wasn't a fun task!
