Prologue: The Adventure Begins

A peaceful and ordinary day on the Star Road…

"WHAT WAS THAT?!?" Yelled the elder star spirit ♦♠^! as he was jarred from his usual resting place by a huge tremor in the floor.

"Sir, Sir! Something really weird is happening!" A minor star spirit stated the obvious, "Come over here!" The star spirit flew towards the area where most of the minor star spirits congregated daily.

♦♠^! Followed him quickly having to dodge all the other star sprits that were trying to run away from the disturbance, until he saw what was happening, and he had to admit that the only way to describe it was as being…weird.

It looked as though huge chunks of normal space was suddenly appearing out of nowhere, but once they had appeared it looked as though they'd ALWAYS been there!

"♦♠^! ! Sir! It's breaking the Star Road!" Yelled a star spirit who was carrying one of the seven Star Pieces that made up Star Road. "Three piece have already broken off, the other two fell down to the world!" He said apologetically.

"That's OK. You've done your best…" ♦♠^! Paused, what WAS this star's name?

"I just hope they haven't fallen into the hands of some creep like Bowyer again!" The other star muttered.

Of course! It was ♥♪!? ! Or 'Geno' as he'd liked to be called ever since the time he was sent to the world below to recover the missing Star Pieces.

"Hey! Look at the world! Something's happening there as well!" ♥♪!? said, worriedly.

♦♠?! Glanced down at the world below them. It looked as though something was forcing parts of another world into it. Just then another tremor reminded him of the more immediate danger. "Never mind that now ♥♪!? . We've got to get out of here before som…"

There was a loud crunch and a larger tremor as some of the empty space 'hit' star road. Both star spirits were bashed to the floor and the third and fourth Star Pieces fell towards the ground far below them.

"You're right! These hits are getting harder and more frequent!" ♥♪!? Said. "We'll just have to go to Star Haven and collect the pieces once the dangers passed!"

"Good! Come on, everyone else will have gone there, I'm sure!"

And so the two stars shot away from the danger as Star Road was blasted to piece by the barrage. They arrived at Star Haven looking very dull, as stars do when they use up too much of their energy.

"They're here!" The star spirit who had spoken to ♦♠^! shouted. Moments afterwards the seven Honourable Star Spirits cast a spell of protection around Star Haven. ♥♪!? noticed that the rest of the star spirits relaxed instantly. He probably would have as well, but he couldn't stop worrying about what he had seen happening to the world below.

He sighed, maybe he WAS still attached to the friends he had made during his trip to Mario's homeland. However it was the job of the star spirits to help those on the world below, which meant that Eldstar and the others should know what was going on.

Timidly, he approached the Honourable Star Spirits, who seemed to be quite concerned by what was happening. Eldstar looked up at him sharply. "Ah! ♥♪!? ! You were one of the ones who saw what was happening, were you not?"

"I-I was. It looked as though parts of space were teleporting into the Star Road." He told them. "But I also thought I saw something similar happening on the world below, it looked as though parts of the land were being…merged with somewhere else."

This started a flurry of whispered debate between the HSSs. All that ♥♪!? Could overhear where the phrases "He even SAID 'merged'!" and "That's if you do it RIGHT! ANYONE can do it WRONG!" Eventually the whispering subsided.

"We've come to a conclusion." Eldstar said. "We believe that our universe has been 'merged' badly with a universe containing another planet."

"You mean…?"

"That's right, the two places are now trying to occupy the same space." Eldstar said.

"Isn't that impossible?" ♥♪!? Asked.

"It is." Skolar told him, "That's why the damage it caused is so great. And the damage will continue, unless we can find a way to unmerge the two universes, both the world below and this other planet will be obliterated within two weeks."

"Then we've got to do something!" ♥♪!? cried. Glowing brightly with anxiety.

"We may not be able to." Eldstar said, "We'd need Star Road to be fixed, and even then we may not have enough power to undo this."

"But we WILL try." Misstar told him.

"Thank you." ♥♪!? said.

"Although we'll need someone else to recover the Star Pieces… Preferably someone who's worked with Mario before…Geno" Eldstar said.

"You can't be serious!" Mamar snapped, "He's barely glowing! You can't expect him to go straight down to the world below and posses that toy again!"

"Actually it hardly took any magic at all!" 'Geno' said, perking up. "I'd be glad to go."

"And anyway, we won't be making him go right now!" Eldstar pointed out, "He'll need to rest and we'll need to find out as much as we can about what's going on before he goes. I assume you'll accept our quest."

"Of course, as I said, I'd be glad to."

"Thank you." Eldstar said, "But remember the world below will have changed drastically. If you can, try to get people from the other planet to join you. They may be able to help you fight any new villains from their planet."

"I will. By the way, what's this planet called?" Geno asked.

"Huh? Oh… Something beginning with an M…" Skolar said, "Um… Oh Yes! It's called Mobius."

Author's notes: The Sonic universe I'm going to be using is mainly based on the Fleetway (UK) Sonic the Comics. Although I will use characters/ideas from other sources. This will mean that the version of Amy Rose used will be the independent, confident, crossbow-wielding version of Amy Rose, not the irritating thing they put in Sonic Adventures 1 and 2.

The Mario universe I will use is going to be mainly based on Super Mario RPG and Mario and Luigi Superstar saga. (Although I have also used ideas and characters from all the other Mario games including Paper Mario)

Also I hope you will enjoy this fic! (Now go read chapter one and after that please review! J)
