Sonic 3 & Knuckles: The Retelling

Author's note: I've waited long enough. Yes, Angnix, I'm going to go through the whole game. Eventually.

Zone 1-2: Angel Island Act II

After pausing to catch our breath, the two of us bravely stepped forwards. Our next obstacle was a big rock wall. No problem for Sonic's Spin Dash.
As soon as Sonic smashed the wall, a narrow cave was revealed. Sonic tried to enter the cave and bopped his head on the roof. This cave was a little small.
Sonic, however, had an idea. He backed up a few steps and dashed forwards. "Going faster won't get you anywhe..." I started to say. Then I saw what he was doing.
In one smooth motion, Sonic rolled up into a ball and zoomed into the cave. After a pause, I did the same. We emerged from the other end of the cave as if shot out of a cannon.
Our wild ride came to an abrupt end as we slammed into a stone wall. We turned around to look for a way out, and spotted ANOTHER large ring.
"Last one in is a rotten egg!" I yelled as I jumped into the ring. Bam! We were in another one of those checkerboard worlds. It was differently colored, though.
Concluding that we once again had to turn all the blue spheres to red, we set off. Not everything went as planned, though, as we collided with a red sphere by mistake.
It didn't change color. Instead, it warped us back to the alcove where we found the big ring. The ring was gone. We made a mental note not to touch the red spheres.
After a short time, the two of us approached an Item Monitor. These were fairly common in our adventures. This one had a picture of a lightning bolt on it.
Sonic leaped up and smashed the monitor, and was immediately covered in a shield that sparked and fizzed with electrical energy. I tried not to get too close.
We continued, and approached a line of rings. Sonic approached them to scoop them up... and noticed that they were coming to him. I was confused.
After grabbing the rings, Sonic and I proceeded to a large lake. As we entered it, there was a flash of light, and Sonic's new electric shield was gone.
At the bottom of that lake, though, was another Item Monitor. This one had a picture of a water droplet on it. Sonic smashed the monitor, and found himself surrounded in a bubble.
It took a while for us to get to the other side of the lake. I stole a few gulps of air from the surface, but for some reason Sonic didn't need any air.
Sonic and I finally emerged from the water. Wouldn't you know it! We were ambushed by a metallic rhino. I managed to get out of the way, but Sonic got hit. The bubble popped.
The robot, like most robots made by Dr. Robotnik, blew up with one hit. We continued, around loops and past waterfalls, until we found yet another new Item Monitor.
This one had a picture of a flame. Sonic burst it, and wham; he was covered in a fiery shield. I tried not to get set on fire as we continued.
Through another one of those crazy caves, and we were at the surface. As we continued, we were ambushed by Dr. Robotnik's Flying Battery blimp! Ouch!
Somehow I dodged every bomb that dropped (Sonic got hit a few times but was unharmed), and we made it across a bridge to a little island in front of a waterfall. It looked like a dead end.
Ack! Dr. Robotnik was hiding behind the waterfall and appeared right over the bridge. He shot two flames downwards, burning the bridge and trapping us.
Dr. Robotnik's craft disappeared behind the waterfall again and reappeared above the island. As he shot two more flames, we got out of the way and bashed him two times each.
Now the craft appeared right over the island's edge. We were careful not to fall off as we bashed his craft four more times, causing the craft to blow up.
We now looked up. Bingo! There was one of those capsules full of animals. I leaped up and hit the button, and the capsule burst open and freed the animals.
A bridge dropped down on the other side of the island. As we walked across, we spotted that red echidna AGAIN! The echidna didn't plan to return the Emeralds.
He jumped on a button on his ledge, and the bridge crumbled, sending us falling to our next destination, the aquatic ruins known as Hydrocity...
