OoC: Hello, and welcome to my latest fanfic. This fanfic will be a game
adaptation, which will cover the following video games in chronological
order:
Sonic 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic Adventure
Sonic Adventure 2
(Possibly the Sonic Advances)
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Battle
I originally planned to do Sonic CD as well, but it wasn't working out so I sent it to the Scrap Brain, but I'll still cover portions of this and other major Sonic games (like Sonic 1, Chaotix and maybe the Sonic Advances) during flashbacks over the course of the series. I'll also add in small comedy segments when I have ideas. Not much more to say but enjoy the first part of the Mysteries of West Side Island - The Death Egg Saga!
The Death Egg Saga - Episode One: "Sonic and Tails"
From the journal of Miles "Tails" Prower, Entry 1:
Hi, I'm Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails. I'm a brown furred, eight year old fox with a hand for mechanics and heart for adventure. I also have two bushy tails instead of one - hence my nickname. My starts when Sonic the hedgehog came to West Side Island, also known as the Island of Illusion, for some r & r. Sonic was the fastest thing I ever saw. When he runs you can only see a blue blur because of his fur color. I remember the first time I saw him near the Mystic Ruins. I was amazed at his speed and tried to follow him, but he caught me and decided to let me hang out with him. Since then, we've become the best of friends. He taught me how to Spin Dash by curling into a ball, revving up, and then rolling off at high speed. He also taught me how to jump at enemies when curled up in the "Ball Mode". Then he advised me on how to spin my tails like a helicopter rotor to help me run faster and even temporarily fly! But I would have trained much harder had I known of the dangers that awaited us...
End Log
Tails strolled calmly through the Emerald Hill Zone, an area of content, which was home to plenty of exotic wildlife. It was a beautiful beachside property, filled with lush greenery, tall palm trees and calming waterfalls. Tails stopped a small, blue flicky bird and asked, "Hey Felix, have you seen Sonic?" The flicky replied by nodding its surprisingly large head and pointing towards the ocean with its feathered wing. "The Emerald Beach? Alright, I'll check it out!" Tails then ran towards the boundary separating the Emerald Hill Zone from the from the Emerald Beach and gasped at what he saw. It was a long, red biplane – almost six feet long. There was one seat on the plane in addition to two "wings" above the biplane. Sonic's name was written on the side. "Wow..." he whispered.
"Her name's Tornado." a teenage voice responded. Tails looked up and saw Sonic looking down at him with his green eyes from atop the plane. "A radical chick, ain't she, Tails?
"Yeah, it's real cool! How'd you get this plane, Sonic?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell ya later."
Their discussion was immediately interrupted by a maniacal laugh, which echoed throughout the island. Sonic immediately hopped onto the sand in surprise and groaned, "Oh no, don't tell me..."
"Don't tell what, Sonic?"
"Him!" Sonic shouted as he pointed to the portly man in the hovercraft. His chest was egg-shaped, with a dome-like head; a trademark orange, bushy mustache; and a pair of small, blue glasses which concealed his eyes. "The Eggman!"
"So Hedgehog, looks like fate has brought us to the same place once again! Well I have no time to talk, I have Chaos Emeralds to collect, a robot army to create... and a world to destroy!" With that he laughed some more as he flew off into the horizon.
Tails asked, "Who is that guy, Sonic?"
"He's Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but everyone calls him Eggman. He's a mad scientist who seeks world domination by creating robots powered by... animals.... We gotta rush, Tails!" Sonic took a split-second to charge his feet – which wore pointy red sneakers, each with a white horizontal strap running along them and a buckle at the end – and he disappeared in a flash.
"Hey Sonic, wait for me!" Tails shouted as he dashed after his idol, tripped over a rock, and then dashed off again.
Tails skidded to a halt when a flying coconut just barely missed his head. Tails looked to his right and saw a mechanical monkey covered in red and gray armor hanging from a palm tree with its hands filled with coconuts. "Is that one of Eggman's robots...?" Tails wondered.
Before Tails could say another word, Sonic appeared from nowhere in Ball Mode. He slammed right into the tree, and the robot monkey fell to the ground. Sonic then revved up his Spin Dash again and cut right through the armored ape. It fell to the ground in two halves, and a blue flicky bird was freed and flew from the wreckage. "Felix!" Tails shouted in joy as he patted his friend's head.
"It'll take more then an ai-ai to do me in, Eggbutt!" Sonic bragged in reference to the ai-ai monkey bot he had just trashed. "Let's move on, Tails! We have the entire Emerald Hill Zone to free!"
"But Sonic, our friends are inside the robots! What if we accidentally hurt them?"
"Don't worry, Tails!" Sonic assured his sidekick, "The animals are protected by a shield, which prevents them from escaping. Breaking the robot deactivates the shield and frees the animal trapped within! Look, here comes a Stinger now! Try it out, it's simple!"
A long flying bot that resembled a wasp flew overhead. It was blue with black stripes. The robot aimed its cannon, which was attached to its tail at Tails. Tails, however, leapt above the Stinger in Ball Mode and then slammed down on its back. The Stinger exploded and freed a squirrel-like creature known as a Ricky. Tails then spun his tails to hover above the ground and catch the Ricky as it fell. Tails rested the Ricky on the ground, and the animal squeaked in gratitude as Sonic and Tails ran off. "That was fun, Sonic!"
"It only gets better! You go take out Eggman's bots while I head for the big man himself!"
"Alright, Sonic!" Tails shouted as he split off from Sonic to fight off mechanical fish known as Gabuccho.
Meanwhile, Sonic dashed through the forest of tall palm trees, every now and then stopping to take out any bots – or "badniks" - which Sonic considered to be too tough for a beginner like Tails to handle.
Finally Sonic heard the words he had waited to hear. "Hedgehog! I'm glad to see you've made it past my badniks in one piece!" It was Eggman, all right. Right now his Egg-o-Matic hovercraft was planted in his latest device of destruction – a wheeled tank with a deadly drill emerging from the front end. "Otherwise, I would not be able to chop you down myself!"
"We'll see about that, Chrome Dome!" Sonic cried as he rushed into battle. "Remember my Homing Attack?" Sonic shouted as he leapt into the air in Ball Mode, then shot forward in his Homing Attack and slammed into the Eggman's cockpit. However, the attack had no visible effect, and Sonic was forced to use another Homing Attack in midair to fly safely to the ground.
"No, I have not forgotten, Sonic – which is why I enforced my cockpit with tempered glass!"

Elsewhere in the Emerald Hill Zone, Tails was preoccupied with a large, egg- shaped capsule. Through the small window, he could see that it was filled to the brim with Flickys and Rickys who were being held there until they were ready to be turned into robots. "Now how do I open this? The only button is this red one on the side, but it's too exposed, so I doubt it frees the animals..." Tails opened up a panel on the capsule and sorted through various circuits and wires. "Hmm... which ones hold the capsule shut? Aha! Here are the wires, they run from the lid to... the red button." Tails slammed the red button and the lid of the capsule burst open. The Flickys and Rickys of the Emerald Hill Zone leapt from the destroyed capsule and disappeared into the hills as they thanked their savior.
***
As Eggman operated the tank, the image of a Stinger robot appeared on his control pad monitor. "This better be important, Bot 949!"
The Stinger buzzed, "Sir! The underground squad has discovered the Green Chaos Emerald! We request your presence for confirmation!"
"Excellent job! I will be down their immediately." Eggman then looked up to face Sonic and said, "We'll finish this some other time!" as his drill tank tunneled into the earth.
"You can't get away that easily, Eggman!" Sonic shouted as he ran into the tunnel after Eggman.
"Sonic?" Tails wondered as he hovered into the hole.
"Not now, Tails!"
"But I found this weird ring and I don-"
"Ring?" Sonic asked in surprise as he doubled back to Tails, who held a long, elliptical golden ring in his right hand. Sonic pointed to the ring and shouted, "That's a Power Ring! I'll show you firsthand what it does!" as Tails handed the ring to him. Sonic held the ring as he rolled into Ball Mode, rolling at unbelievable speeds, and then shot off into the tunnel. He flew right through Eggman's drill tank like a knife through butter and cut through several yards of dirt before zooming through Eggman's badniks and snatching the Green Chaos Emerald. Its appearance was that of a green triangular pyramid.
"Wow," Tails gasped as he gaped into the long tunnel. "That was amazing..." He then ducked as Eggman flew out in his Egg-o-Matic hovercraft, drill accessories no longer included, and into the sunset, muttering swears underneath his breath.
Sonic emerged from the whole with the Chaos Emerald in hand. "I used up the ring, but I found this strange jewel..."
"Sonic, that's a Chaos Emerald!" Tails shouted in surprise. "Those things come straight out of my childhood legends! They say that there are seven Chaos Emeralds in all. Alone, they are each brimming with power. But it's only when the entire set of seven is combined that the jewels show their true power. It's said that an ancient civilization that once inhabited this island attempted to test the Emeralds and theorize the true power of the stones. The legend goes on to say that the philosophers became corrupted by the power of the Emeralds and used them for evil, but their efforts were useless, and the 'gods' hid the Emeralds in various areas of South Island."
"So if Eggman's collecting these Emeralds, he must want some of that limitless power for something way uncool! But what?"
"I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough, Sonic..."

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? EDITION 1: AI-AI
After his first appearance in the Emerald Hill Zone, Ai-ai the monkey robot, like so many of Eggman's early robots, fell from the ranks as his line was discontinued. Ai-ai then fell into heavy drug abuse, which led him to take a roll on the cartoon series, "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" under his druggie name, "Coconuts". However, even on the show he was ignored and pushed into the background until he committed suicide after the series closed in 1995, at the age of 40.
