It's time for Chapter 2.

In the last chapter, Sonic and Tails ran into a tornado that teleported them somewhere else, which not only left them stranded on an unknown island, but also ruined the wedding between Sonic and Amy.

How are they going to get back home? And who is this young raccoon that found them on the beach? Read on and find out, though you already know if you've played the game.

Note: If you see something happen in the story that you never saw in the game, then you know I added it in.

Chapter 2: First Day on Southern Island

Sonic and Tails had wound up on a beach somewhere. The problem was that they didn't know where they were. Luckily for them, a young raccoon girl by the name of Marine had found them, and introductions had just been made.

"But what's this? I come down here, save your lives, and not even a "thank you""? Marine asked.

"What? Oh, right! Thank you, miss." Tails said.

"Aw, it was nothing. But I want to know how you got 'ere." Marine said. "Wait a minute! You didn't swim 'ere, did ya?"

"Good question. Do we even know where we are, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"No. Uh, Marine, where are we?" Sonic asked.

"Where are you? Why, you're at Seagull Beach, near Windmill Village." Marine started explaining. "You got any questions, I'm your gal, mate! After all, nothin' goes on 'round these parts without me knowing about it first, mate. As for Seagull Beach, well, I named it after the heaps of seagulls round 'ere. Ain't it just ripper?"

"Ah…huh." Sonic quietly acknowledged. Then he turned to Tails. "Tails, do you have any idea where this Windmill Village is?"

"No. I've never even heard of it. I wonder where this island even is." Tails replied.

"You don't even know where Southern Island is? It's in the middle of the ocean." Marine told them.

"Well, that's a no-brainer." Sonic said quietly.

"Sonic, what should we do?" Tails asked.

"Well, maybe the people in the village can give us some clue as to where we are." Sonic replied.

"What? You want to come to my village? Well, then, my house is your house." Marine offered.

"Thanks, Marine."

With that, Sonic, Tails, and Marine headed to the village. Along the way, Marine told them a little about the island.

"So, why is this place called Windmill Village?" Sonic asked.

"That's easy, mate. See that large windmill in the center of the city?" Marine asked. Sonic and Tails looked in that direction and saw the largest windmill they had ever seen. "That windmill right there is the signal of the city."

"That's the largest windmill I've ever seen!" Tails exclaimed.

"Ain't it a beauty?" Marine asked. "I don't remember how long it took to build that."

Soon, they reached Marine's house and went inside. The house was fairly small, considering that only Marine lived there. It contained a bed, a lamp, and a few books, and there was another room off to the right.

"Setter! Where are ya, mate!?" Marine called. After a few seconds, a gray koala wearing red shorts, brown sandals, and a yellow hat appeared from the next room.

"Well, there ya are, Marine. Where have you been?" The gray koala asked.

"I was down by the beach when I found these two blokes near the water. They looked like they were dead, but I managed to wake them up." Marine explained. "Sonic, Tails, this is Setter. He usually stays around here during the day."

"Nice to meet you two." Setter said to them.

"Same here." Tails responded.

"So, what brings you two here?" Setter asked.

"Well…" Tails began.

A few minutes later, Setter had heard the whole story.

"So let me get this straight. You two were on your way to a wedding, and you got caught up in a tornado that supposedly transported you here, and Marine saved you from drowning?" Setter asked.

"That about explains it." Tails confirmed.

"I see. Well, unfortunately, I don't have any ideas right now." Setter reluctantly said.

"It's getting late. We'll figure out more tomorrow." Sonic said.

Everyone found a place to sleep as darkness set in.

The next day, Sonic and Tails went out to the beach, and found Marine working on what looked like a boat.

"Hm? What are you doing, Marine?" Tails asked.

"You blind, there, mate?" Marine asked. "I'm about to launch my pal here, the good ol' SS Marine. Last time, though, I made a few blues, and things went a bit crook, you know? Yeah, but she'll be right, then, won't she, mate? There ain't no one on the Seven Seas who can outrun…AHA! Now we've got some gas going."

Marine headed off to try out the boat, and Tails got a bad feeling.

"I don't like the look of this…" Tails said in an unsure voice.

He was right. Marine started going out of control, trying to keep the boat on a straight line.

"Hey, can't you keep that thing straight!?" Sonic called to her.

"No worries, mates! Really! I've got everything under control 'ere!" Marine said, even though it didn't look like she did. "Whoa! Come on, Marine. I'm the one who built you! Stop being so stubborn. Sonic, Tails, enough with the bludgering! Come 'ere and help me!"

She didn't know what she just said.

"Wait, me? Show weakness? No way! Lemme just hit the brake 'ere and…"

Unfortunately, she did NOT hit the brake.

"Hey, hold on a sec! That's not the brake, that's the…" Tails tried to warn her.

"The gas!" Sonic finished Tails's sentence.

It was no use. The boat shot right at Sonic and Tails. They tried to get out of the way, but…

WHAM!

The boat slammed right into them, knocking all three of them on the ground. The boat had been torn to shreds.

"Ahhh! No! My…my boat! Look what's become of you!" Marine said. She couldn't believe it. She had worked so hard on it, and now it was ruined. She began to cry. "Ohhh, what should I do? I can't rebuild 'er now! There's no way I can fix this."

Tails went over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay, Marine. Tell you what, why don't you let me build a new ship for you?" Tails offered.

"Ohh, it's no use…" Marine started to decline, but Sonic wasn't about to let that happen.

"Hey, trust me! When it comes to building things, Tails is number one." Sonic told her.

"Yeah. Honestly, I put things like this together all the time." Tails added, but it didn't cheer her up.

"…no, it's no use! There ain't any materials left anyway." Marine said, sadly.

"What do you mean?" Tails asked.

"Somehow, the place I always go to get my building stuff has been blocked off, mate. I don't know what 'appened, but the trail is blocked by boulders." Marine explained. "Ohhh! And I…I can't get away from this place. I'll be stuck 'ere my whole life. I HAVE to get out of here!"

She began to cry again. Tails felt sorry for her.

"Sonic, what should we do?" Tails asked.

"I have an idea. I'll get you what you need." Sonic told Marine.

"Really? But the trail is blocked off! How will you…?" Marine began to ask, but Sonic cut her off.

"No problem. I'll just blaze my own trail." Sonic told her. "Lead the way."

Marine started to lead them to the place where she always got her building materials.

"Just leave it to Sonic. He always comes through." Tails told Marine as they followed her.

"I hope so. The place is at Whale Point." Marine told them.

It didn't take long for them to reach the place.

"So, what sort of materials do you need, exactly?" Sonic asked.

"Let's see. There should be some stuff lying around here…" Marine began, when she spotted a blue jewel and a gray metal. "Aha! This 'ere's what we need. Look for jewels and metal that look like this. Then I can give it a burl at putting it together."

Marine then pulled out a purple book and started looking at it.

"Hey, Marine, what are you looking at?" Sonic asked. Then he noticed. "Is that a book about ships?"

"Yeah. What about it?" Marine asked.

"I think we should show this to Tails." Sonic said. Tails walked up to them.

"Show me what?" Tails asked. Sonic showed him the book. "Can I look at this for a bit, Marine?"

"Okay…" Marine said, unsure of herself.

Tails studied the book for a minute. "Hmmm. It's a book about shipbuilding. It talks about using metals and jewels called 'Materials'. I've never heard of constructing a ship with stuff like this before."

"Cool." Sonic said.

"It looks like you need both metals and jewels to build the whole ship."

"Blimey!" Marine exclaimed. "Tails, you can understand that? You're a fair dinkum genius."

"You haven't seen anything yet." Tails told her.

"Okay, then I'll head out and get the materials we need." Sonic said, then he ran off.

"Good luck, Sonic!" Tails called.

"Be careful!" Marine called.

Sonic went through the area. It was pretty simple until he came up to a pile of boulders.

"This must be the place Marine was talking about." Sonic said to himself. "Now how do I get by it?"

Sonic thought for a moment, then he had an idea. He charged up a spin dash, only this one was charged with energy. He unleashed it, and destroyed the boulders. Behind the boulders he found some blue jewels and gray metal pieces.

"This must be it. I'll get some and return to the others." Sonic said to himself.

He scooped up as much as he could, and headed back to where Tails and Marine were waiting.

"Hey, Marine! I brought you a little present." Sonic said.

"Oh my gosh, really?" Marine asked.

"No big deal…really."

Tails took a look at the items.

"Hmmm…it looks like we've got some Blue Material…and also some Iron Material. With these, I think I can build a waterbike."

"A waterbike?! For real?!" Marine asked.

"Yeah." Tails confirmed.

"Sonic, did you hear that? A waterbike! That's pearl! That sounds so cool!" Marine told Sonic.

"Hey, Marine, calm down. It's okay." Sonic said.

"Yeah, anyhow, mate…Tails! Let's get going!" Marine said before running off.

"Hey, Marine, wait for me!" Tails called out to her before chasing after her.

"This is going to be a long day." Sonic said to himself before dashing off after them.

End of Chapter 2.

Well, Marine sounds excited that they're going to build a waterbike. Tails seems excited to build it, and Sonic seems to be getting annoyed. How will this all end up? You'll have to read as the chapters come in.

BTW, you all noticed that some of the dialogue is the same as in the game, right? Well, that's because during the typing of this chapter, I used the game for dialogue reference. What isn't in the game is my own doing, which sets it apart from the game itself.

Next chapter, the waterbike is built, and the trio gets to Plant Kingdom.
