NOTE Whenever a * or ** or *** (you get it) appears, I might have you pop in a song from SA2 to spice up things a bit. If you don't have SA2 or SA2:B, then you can't, but it adds a bit if you have some music while you're reading sometimes. I listen to music when I'm writing, to you tell the truth.

I opened my eyes to a bright light. I shut my eyes again and slowly got up. I opened my eyes again and they were adjusted to the sunrise. I looked ahead of me to see Lynx practicing some techniques with his sword on a hill not too far away. I walked over to him.
"Good morning," I said with a yawn. I looked around. "Have you seen Kit Kat?"
"He was gone when I got up. Maybe he went to get some firewood or something," Lynx replied.
"So, how are you doing?" I asked as I gestured towards his blade.
"Well, I KNOW there is something different about this sword, but I just can't figure it out. It just seems... a little strange. It also feels like I've had it my whole life, if you know what I mean."
I nodded. "The same with my spear. When I hold it I feel like I could take on the world."
"Exactly!" Lynx shouted. "I still can't believe this has happened to us." He took out his map and looked at it for a second. "Our next destination is the 'Desert of Doom'. We'll leave once Kit Kat gets back."
"Sounds like a really friendly place," I said sarcastically. "That's another thing I was going to bring up. None of these places were in any of the Sonic games... so why are they here?"
"I'm not sure... My guess is that there is more than one world of Sonic. For example, he is on Mobius in some cases... and then in Sonic Adventure 2 he is on Earth. I'm guessing this is another world," Lynx explained.
"Man... This is all a bit hard to comprehend. Do you think we are in the Internet now, or is one of those stars up in the night sky our old sun?" I asked.
"I don't know. How the heck should I!? I know as much as you do!" he shouted back.
"Whoa, chill," I said. "We'll get out of here. I'm sure of it."
"I know, but sometimes it feels like I want to stay..."
"I don't really want to leave, either. I mean, who else has ever gotten to experience this, besides the 'World Beyond Me' folks? I mean, we have our OWN adventure now! The only reason I'm trying to get back is to stop the people who don't want to be here from entering... Besides, we can't mess up Sonic and Tails' lives. They have enough to deal with, especially with Eggman," I admitted. "Although I must say that being in my own adventure is a dream I've had ever since I played my first video game."
"Eggman's a moron," Lynx replied. "All of his ideas are too stupid to work."
"Hey, remember that this warp thing is his idea," I reminded him. "For once, he had better be right."
Lynx nodded and then looked at me. "Care to practice?"
"WHAT? Where did that idea come from?" He shrugged.
"Well, OK," I said as I took out my spear. "I'll use the back end of my spear... you use the dull side of your sword." He nodded and turned his sword around. I flipped my spear and charged at him, attempting a rising smash. He jumped back and hovered a bit with his tails before coming back at me with a horizontal slash. I ducked the attack and drove forward with my weapon. It hit his leg and he fell to the ground for a second.
I quickly swung my spear forwards, but he blocked it with his sword and knocked my legs out from under me with his tails. I fell to the ground and jumped up just as he landed on the spot where I was.
Suddenly something purple flew past my face and hit the ground behind me. I watched as the grass started to smoke and slowly melted into a liquid.
"What the heck!?" I shouted as I ducked another purple burst and I looked to see where it came from.
Suddenly I spotted it near the edge of the jungle. 'It' was a giant purple blob... about as big as a tree around and about twice as tall as I was. I watched as it fired another shot at Lynx this time, who jumped to the side, easily dodging the attack.
"What is that!?" he yelled as he looked at it. I bolted from my spot towards the monster, with Lynx right beside me.
*
"Where is Kit Kat when you need him!?" I shouted as I smashed forward with the sharp point of my spear into the gelatin-like body of the blob. My spear went through easily and I pulled it out with a 'splosh' sound. The jelly monster didn't even seem to be affected. Suddenly it let out an ear- splitting wail and shook violently for a couple seconds.
"Klim, attack the central area! That's the weak point!" I heard Lynx shout from the other side. I looked at the blob and saw a small ball-shaped structure in the center.
"I see it! I'll try and get it!" I shouted as I lunged forward, striking the center with a perfect blow. The blob shook again and I cheered.
"Watch out!" I heard Lynx yell from the other side. I looked as the blob began firing bursts of itself in every direction. I ran to the left and to the right to dodge the attacks. One came from above and almost took my head off.
"ARGH!" I heard Lynx shout from the other side. My instincts told me to rush to his side, but I knew that this monster had to be dealt with first. I rushed forward, dodging attacks as I struck my weapon into the center of the creature. It shook violently once again and then suddenly swelled in size.
**
"SHIT!" I shouted as I rushed over to the other side of the creature. I grabbed Lynx off the ground and ran faster than I ever have in my life out of the jungle. I heard an explosion behind us and I ran even faster to out- run all of the purple projectiles. As soon as we were out of harm's way I put down Lynx for a closer examination. One of his tails was almost completely gone, and a few others were damaged, also. He didn't look quite so well.
"What the...?" I said in surprise as he started to glow with a green light. He took out the green Chaos Emerald and there was a bright flash. When I looked back he was standing again, and all of his tails were back to normal.
"HA! Recovery powers, I KNEW it!" he shouted.
"Awesome! You can use the Chaos Emeralds?!" I shouted as I ran over to him.
"It seems so... Man, this is cool!" he exclaimed.
"Don't get overconfident, now," I warned. "All the recovery in the world doesn't help if you're dead."
He looked at me for a second. "What do you think would happen if we died here? Would we be back in our world?" he asked.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Let's just say I don't want to find out," I said with a smile.
"...Do you think that that monster back there got Kit Kat?" Lynx asked suddenly.
Kit Kat...gone? No, it couldn't be. Not so soon. Not like this. But where else would he be? He wouldn't run off by himself...
"No time to dwell on it now," I said, almost to myself. "We just have to keep moving on, and get those Chaos Emeralds before Eggman does!" Lynx nodded.
About a couple of hours later we were walking in the Desert of Doom. All around us were nothing but sand dunes. Gusts of wind blew sand into my face, making it very hard to see. The sand didn't have the same healthy look to it as a normal desert did. Instead it was a darkish brown in color, making it a very ugly place indeed.
"Are you sure there's an emerald here?" I asked Lynx as I looked around.
"That's what the map says," Lynx said as he walked along behind me. I was in front of him, blocking all the sand from getting in his eyes while he read the map. "We should almost be there."
I took a few more steps forward and saw something in the distance to my right.
"Hey, look, there's the shrine!" I shouted as I pointed.
"No, it isn't," Lynx said as he looked at the map again. "The shrine is directly ahead of us, not over there. What you're seeing is a mirage."
Suddenly the image of the shrine faded away as another blast of sand caught me in the eyes.
"I guess you're right," I said as I walked around blindly. "But how much longer do we....AAAAHHHHH!"
I had fallen into a hole that was conveniently covered with sand, and I was falling through the darkness, unsure of where I was going.
