Chapter 4
The Virtual world of Eggman's
We woke up inside a forest.
"Where are we?" Christine asked, standing up.
"I think we're inside the virtual game." I said. I then realised that I had a sword in my hand. I was also wearing a small cape.
"Look at me!" said Sonic, "I look like a secret agent!"
"So do I!" said Knuckles. I looked at my arm, and saw a round device attatched to it. I pressed a button on it. A pause screen came up.
"Cool!" I said, turning around. "We're in an RPG!" I pointed at the Status option. It displayed a screen that looked like this.

"Well, it seems like I ended up with the most HP." I said. "But I also ended up with the least amount of MP. Tikal got alot of MP, so she must be a spellcaster." Tikal smiled at me. I went to Page 2.

"Well, let get going!" I said, turning the display off. "In the words of Yugi Moto, we'll win together, or together we'll fall!"
"Who's he?" asked Christine, looking slightly confused.
"Never mind." I said, "Let's just start moving. These woods make me feel uneasy." We started walking forward. We came to a sign that looked like this.

"Well, I guess we'd better go to the village." I said. "Usually the villagers will explain everything to us." So we took the path going right. We walked for a little bit more. Suddenly I heard something moving in the woods. I held up my hand to stop everyone.
"What is it?" said Sonic, looking around, "Why have we stopped?"
"I thought I heard something in the woods." I said, looking around. Something was defantly moving towards us. It was bounding from tree to tree, swinging on the branches like Tarzan. But tit didn't have a humanoid shape. I heard a faint clacking noise as the thing grabbed each tree branch. "A robot. Just as I suspected." I drew my sword, ready to battle. The thing emerged, revealing itself to be a Mecha-Tails.
"I'll take this battle!" said Tails, moving forward. I opened my arm thingie and selected Team Stats. I touched Tails' name. His stats came up.
"Tails!" I shouted, "You can make your opponent's HP appear over their heads!" Tails nodded to show he heard me, then he pressed a button on his arm thingie. The enemy's HP then appeared over his head.

"He has 90 Hit Points!" shouted Tails to the rest of the group, "I might need some help." I noticed a button on my Status Band that said [Log]. I pressed it, wondering what would happen. Nothing seemed to happen.
"First turn honors are mine!" shouted Mecha-Tails. He curled up into a ball, and several dark gold rings shot out from slots that were located o various parts of his chasis. My Status Band started beeping, then it displayed a message.
[Mecha-Tails used Ring Blast]
[Ring blast failed to hit its target]
"The log button must log all the battles everyone is in." I said.
"Tornado, materilize!" shouted Tails. His Tornado 2 appeared next to him. He jumped into it. When Tails got into the Tornado 2, he seemed to suddenly gain cofendence.
[Tails used 4 MP in summoning the Tornado 2]
Mecha-Tails curled up into a ball again as more dark gold rings shot out from him. One of them hits the Tornado 2.
[Mecha-Tails used Ring Blast]
(Tails: -5 HP)
(Tornado 2: -10 HP)
A laser appeared from the front of the Tornado 2. It locked on to Mecha-Tails.
"GO! Energy Ball!" shouted Tails, pressing a button on the joystick. A large yellowish ball of energy was fired from the gun-like thing on the top of the Tornado 2. Mecha-Tails tried to run away from it, but the energy ball continued to follow him. Eventually, it hit him.
[Tails used Homing Laser Blast]
(Mecha=Tails: -40 HP)
(Tornado 2: -3 MP)
Mecha-Tails seemed to be running out of fuel. He was slowing down. Mecha-Tails flew toward the Tornado 2, attempting to ram it. Tails jumped, and the attack missed.
[Mecha-Tails used Body Slam.]
[The attack missed.]
Tails fired a Vulcan cannon at Mecha-Tails. It hit him dead on.
[Tails used Vulcan Cannon.]
(Mecha-Tails: -10 HP)
Back and forth the blows went, until eventually, Mecha-Tails was swaying on he spot with only 1 HP left.
"I'll finish him!" I shouted, running forward. I raised the sword over my head, and I brought the sword down, slicing Mecha-Tails in half. He started to crackle, then he fell to the ground, still giving off a faint crackling noise.
"Yeah!" I said, spinning around in a complete circle. I held up two fingers, indicating victory. Suddenly the background started to go fuzzy. It faded out, and then we woke up in the pods. "Why'd you end it so soon?"
"I have some more things to work on in it." said Eggman, smiling.
"One more thing," I said, grinning. "I'm surprised you haven't tried to destroy Sonic in a while. The last time I remember you trying to destroy him was in Sonic Advance 2, when you tried to hammer him with that weird 'Arm and Hammer' machine." Christing laughed, getting the joke. Eggman's smile quickly faded from his face.
"Well, I decided that Sonic can be destroyed," said Eggman.
"About time you said that." said Sonic. "You do know that I cannot be destroyed."
"See ya!" I said walking out the door. Everyone else followed me. "I've been wondering when he'd admit that." We walked home together, wanting to get away from the robotic haven Eggman called 'home'.
