Chapter 2

Best Friends Reunite

MYSTIC RUINS – EGGMAN'S BASE

It opened its eyes and looked at his master, Dr. Eggman. It was another one of Eggman's robots. No, it wasn't one of those that would explode in just one hit. This was one of the E-series robots. Its name was E-102.

"Brilliant! It's ready." Eggman said. "Hello, my name is Dr. Robotnik, and I am your master. You can call me Dr. Eggman. Your name is E-102, the third creation of the E-series. I will call you Gamma."

"What is your wish, Master Robotnik?" Gamma asked in a robotic monotone voice.

"First, you have to go through this one test. I call it target practice. Just go and destroy all the dolls in there, and you can come out. This is a test if you are ready to be part of the all-exclusive crew of the Egg Carrier." Eggman said.

So Gamma went through the target practice, called "Final Egg" and shot the dolls. All Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles dolls. He blazed through the target practice and came out to see Eggman.

"O ho! I am pleased to see that you sped through the practice so quickly, Gamma." Eggman said. "Now if you want to be part of the Egg Carrier crew, you have to prove that you can fight against real opponents." Out stepped a black robot that looked exactly like Gamma.

"This is your older brother, E-101 Beta. You will to fight him for admittance into the Egg Carrier. Personally, I think Beta will win, but you have much potential, Gamma, so both of you have equal chances." Eggman said. "So FIGHT!"

Beta started by hovering using his Jet Booster, which Gamma does not have. He shot three small missiles at Gamma, which he dodged easily. Gamma shot a missile at Beta, and it hit him right in the chest. Beta was mad and tried to shoot Gamma right away. But Gamma jumped to dodge it, and it the air locked-on and shot Beta again. Beta, who was mad, hovered over Gamma now and tried to shoot him, but it missed. Gamma then put on the final blow and Beta lost.

"O ho! Gamma, you never cease to surprise me. You have my permission aboard the Egg Carrier!" Eggman said. At that moment, Beta stepped in front of Eggman. "Oh, so you want to go too, eh Beta? All right, you have special permission." At the robots waited until Eggman was done with some errands.

STATION SQUARE

Meanwhile, Miles "Tails" Prower flew his prototype of his new plane in the air.

"Everything is looking great!" he said to himself. "All systems go, full speed ahead!" Though after he said that, the plane started rattling. Tails knew he was going to crash. "What's this?" he asked as the plane nosedived into the end of the Emerald Beach.

STATION SQUARE – BEACH

Sonic saw the whole thing from the pool of the hotel. He speeded all the way through the sandy beach, destroying some of Eggman's free robots on the way. It was weird. He nearly fell off a bridge, fell off a loop-de-loop, and nearly got trampled by a gigantic whale just to help out Tails. Tails woke up and saw Sonic standing over him, lending a helping hand.

STATION SQUARE – HOTEL

"You're lucky I saw you crash, Tails." Sonic said.

"Thanks again, Sonic. Hey, you want to see something?" Tails asked as he took out a pink Chaos Emerald.

"Wow! That's a Chaos Emerald!" Sonic screamed.

"Yeah, and I'm gonna use it to make a new plane."

"You could always use my plane, the Tornado!"

"Yeah, but the Chaos Emerald will make it stronger than the Tornado. You wanna come over to my workshop in the Mystic Ruins and check it out?" Tails asked. Soon, they both left for a train to the Mystic Ruins, not knowing what awaited them there.

FUN FACTS

- Sonic doesn't really fall of bridges and loop-de-loops. (Unless you make him LOL)

- The reason why I said the third E-series robot, is because there is one more E-series robot, E-100 Alpha or Zero. He will be introduced later in the story.

- When Sonic goes through the beach to get Tails is the first level of Sonic's story in Sonic Adventure, Emerald Beach

- Gamma's target practice is the first level of his story, Final Egg
