Sonic Rescue
(based on Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Game Gear Version)
Fan fiction by Danny Wheeler
Prolog
Sonic was relaxing on his island home one day, enjoying the sun. However, this day was different from others because Tails wasn't around-- he was out elsewhere in the Mobius of the Sky gathering some flowers for Princess Sally. Soon, the princess and Old Man Owl visited Sonic, and they looked upset. "Sally! Old Man! What's wrong?" asked Sonic.
The two caught their breath, and Sally said, "Tails has been kidnapped by Eggman! He left this note, saying that he had taken him to a place called the Crystal Egg. He added that the only way to reach it is to find six Chaos Emeralds, each shaped like an egg!" Frightened for Tails' life, Sonic went out to find the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic used a ring he found on the way out as a means of finding their location.
Chapter 1: Under Ground Zone
Sonic's first stop was a mine in one of the cliffs in the Mobius of the Sky. Crab robots, beetle robots, and chameleon robots (none as sophisticated as their predecessors) guarded the path. Sonic defeated them and freed the animals from their forms. As he delved deeper into the cavern, Sonic soon found the Blue Chaos Emerald.
Soon, he found the mine cart that led to an area Eggman was in. He tried to roll down a ramp up a wall, but it wasn't enough. Just as it looked as though he would meet his end in the lava of the cavern, Eggman, oddly enough, rescued Sonic. "Hey, Eggman," asked Sonic, "What's with the rescue?" Eggman snickered, "I didn't want you to boil in the lava... my Ant Lion Super Badnik prefers his meat raw!" Sonic gasped at the retort!
Sonic was at the edge of a pit near where the Ant Lion Super Badnik was. Sonic turned to Eggman and said, "If you think I'm stepping into that creep's jaws, you got another thing coming!" Eggman said, "Very well. I'll just send out my bombs to knock you in!" At that, Eggman started throwing bombs out of his ship to try to get Sonic into the monster's jaws. Soon, after a few bombs hit the insectoid, Eggman made a desperate move and tried to ram Sonic into the beast. Sonic just jumped up and Eggman hit the monster! The prince of an ant colony was freed from the Super Badnik shell. Sonic then hit the floating Badnik Maker and freed the animals within. Sonic soon took to the air... into the Sky High Zone!
Chapter 2: Sky High Zone
After climbing the top of the cliff, Sonic noticed a zone created by another Chaos Emerald. Sonic crossed the bridges and fought the Flying Turtle robots, freeing the birds within them. Soon, a storm came in. Sonic soon saw the Yellow Chaos Emerald in the stormy sky and took a hang glider to reach it. In the storm, he saw a few chameleon robots along the way. He did battle with them as well.
Shortly after getting the Chaos Emerald, the sky became calm and blue again. But the calm sky belied the battle that would soon ensue. Sonic first did battle with some miniature eagle robots, freeing the birds from within, but then faced a Bird Super Badnik. After dodging the energy bullets and defeating it, Sonic beheld the ball of energy released from it change into a proud golden eagle. After the eagle flew off, Sonic bashed into the Badnik Maker and freed the birds within. Sonic took one more hang glider ride... this time to a place called Aqua Lake!
Chapter 3: Aqua Lake Zone
Sonic soon landed on the shores of Aqua Lake. The place was guarded by crab robots and lobster robots. Each of them held within the robot shell a seal or a penguin that was released when the robot was defeated. The place had many spear and spike traps, but it had many magic rings that can help Sonic along the way. After gathering a few handfuls of rings and special items, he entered an underwater cave.
Sonic remembered from his experience in the Labyrinth Zones of air pockets that will help him survive. Eventually, after navigating through the tunnels, Sonic found another Chaos Emerald. It looked purple when underwater, but after he surfaced, it was confirmed as the Pink Chaos Emerald.
Sonic continued on, eventually facing a Seal Super Badnik. The Seal had an inflatible nose that was inflated with a volitile gas that, if it hit anything, it exploded. Sonic timed his attacks so that he would damaged the Super Badnik while it was inflating! Other times, he'd have fun with it and let it balance him on its nose. Eventually, the Badnik was defeated, releasing a friend of Rotor the Walrus (who is a friend of Sonic's back in Mobotropolis, on South Island). Sonic smashed yet another Badnik Maker, freeing the penguins and seals within. The hedgehog soon traveled to a beautiful forested area known as Green Hills.
Chapter 4: Green Hills Zone
One of the most beautiful places in the Mobius of the Sky was the Green Hills Zone, for it had flowers with jewels on them, and the sky was always serene, even in the times of rain showers. But Eggman plotted to change that with his chameleon bots, crab bots, and beetle bots. As Sonic smashed the Badniks and freed the animals, Sonic soon learned where the next Chaos Emerald is.
Eggman's tampering also extended to placing spike traps along the way, but springs were added to help his Badniks. Sonic decided to use them to progress in his mission. Soon, Sonic picked up the White Chaos Emerald. Sonic then passed through more barriers and found another Super Badnik: the Sumo Pig Super Badnik.
Before the battle started, Sonic said, "Aw, man! Eggman must be really losing it!" But then, Sonic noticed the Sumo Pig's capabilities. It turns into a ball that tries to smash Sonic. Sonic knew that the Sumo Pig was vulnerable when it was still. Sonic timed his attacks and dodged the attacks of the Sumo Pig's until the Badnik was destroyed, releasing a wild boar warrior. The wild boar directed him to the Badnik maker, and Sonic smashed into it, freeing the animals within. Sonic needed a way to the Mobius of Darkness, and decided that Gimmick Mtn, which was really Eggman's artificial mountain, would be a good entrance.
Chapter 5: Gimmick Mtn. Zone
Gimmick Mtn. was a weird place, filled with flywheels (which Sonic used to go higher), conveyor belts, and spikes. It also had minecarts. But the mountain also had driller bots (not as strong as Burrobots, but as dangerous) and bouncing bear bots, which looked like teddy bears, but were not very playful. It even had walking bombs to threaten him. Sonic traveled through the metallic cavern and searched for the fifth Chaos Emerald.
As he delved deeper in the cave, Sonic soon came across the Red Chaos Emerald. After getting it, he had to pass more Badniks (freeing the animals in them as he always does) on his way down. Soon, Sonic faced the Spiked Rammer Super Badnik. The Badnik revved up as it was ready to charge, and if it hit a wall, it would create a miniature avalanche to try to crush the hedgehog. Sonic noticed, however, that when it hit a wall, the spikes on its back went inward, thus making it vulnerable.
Sonic timed his attacks just right and hit the Super Badnik until it fell apart, releasing a very healthy iguana. Sonic then raced and smashed yet another Badnik Maker, freeing its captives. When Sonic made it to the Mobius of Darkness, he saw the Green Chaos Emerald. But just when he thought victory was in reach, a Silver Sonic, obviously created by Metal Sonic, snatched it and lured the blue hero into a maze called the Scrambled Egg Zone.
Chapter 6: Scrambled Egg Zone
"Come back here, Silver Sonic!" shouted Sonic as he followed the Silver Sonic into the Scrambled Egg Zone. As the name implied, the zone was indeed scrambled. Many pipes led to either traps or treasure, Badniks (mainly robot crabs and flying turtle robots) guarded the place, and it was easy to get lost! But Sonic knew that Tails was counting on him! Sonic gathered rings and special items, fought Badniks to free the animals and people, and studied the layout of the Scrambled Egg Zone's interior.
As soon as he caught on to Silver Sonic's trail, Sonic navigated through the pipes and springs to find his way to the top of the egg. Soon, he encountered Silver Sonic. Eggman spoke through Silver Sonic's voice box. "Well done, hedgehog!" said Eggman! "You have found five of the Emeralds! Of course, you need six to reach me and save your friend Tails! If you want to get the sixth Emerald, defeat my Silver Sonic!" "You bet I will, egg-belly!" said Sonic as the fight began!
Silver Sonic rolled up into a silver ball to protect itself, had a pincer claw to snare Sonic, and jet shoes to fly about! Sonic knew that Silver Sonic was only vulnerable to attack when it was not in a ball form. Sonic attacked when he could and ran when he could. Soon, Silver Sonic was destroyed, and the Green Chaos Emerald is freed! Soon, Sonic was transported to the Crystal Egg. Eggman knew this meant trouble, so he prepared to fight!
Chapter 7: Crystal Egg Zone
The Crystal Egg was beautiful, despite the fact it was owned by Eggman. But floating fish robots (with the occasional sight of other types) guarded the routes, and flying spike balls made the trek even more treacherous. Sonic made it through, however. Sonic raced across the crumbling landscapes and passed through the first part of the dangerous terrain.
The second floor was even more bizarre. Parts of the area had crystal balls that functioned like the flywheels in Gimmick Mtn. Sonic used this to his advantage and flew upward, going higher and higher. Soon, Sonic made it to Eggman's arena, where he had a surprise for the hedgehog.
"Eggman!" said Sonic. "I made it through your traps! It's over! Release Tails!" Eggman said, "It's not over yet! I have one last trick up my sleeve!" At that, Eggman lured Sonic to his Thunder Machine. This machine was the most dangerous. It had plasma shots that spiraled across the area, floor electrical bolts, and a thunderstorm generator that surged electricity through the room. Sonic noticed that the only safe area was the tube that encircled the room. Sonic used it to protect himself from Eggman's attacks and used the breaks in between to attack Eggman. Eventually, the patience paid off, and the Thunder Machine was destroyed!
Epilog
Sonic chased Eggman to a hidden room behind the Thunder Machine. Eggman used the transporter to escape the area. A few seconds later, Tails came in! "Thank you, Sonic!" said Tails. "It's cool, little bro!" replied Sonic. Both were transported to South Island, where Sally and Old Man Owl awaited!
Old Man was startled when Sonic and Tails appeared out of nowhere! He said, "Whoa! You did it, Sonic! You thwarted Eggman again!" Sonic said, "He escaped, but I sure hurt his pride this time!" Sally hugged and kissed Tails, saying to him, "I'm just glad you're safe, Tails. I was so worried." Then she hugged and kissed Sonic, saying, "Congratulations on another fine job, Sonic! Like you said, you hurt Eggman this time!"
