Well, again, no intro bit to help remember what happened last time! Of course, this is like another episode, and this being the pt. 2 episode! Think Blast to the Past if you don't understand.

I felt sunlight shining through the window onto my eyelids, and I covered my eyes as I opened them, finding it was daytime. "Ugh... I hate waking up..." I yawned, and got off the couch that Rotor let me sleep on. Speaking of Rotor, he must be working now, since the workshop was buzzing with a bunch of noise.
I yawned again and started to walk to the aforementioned lab, and I opened the door to it, and was greeted by a whirl of a circular saw buzzing at high speed, and some sparks showered me as I went around the corner to greet Rotor. Rotor didn't notice me, as he was still using the saw to cut something on his desk. He eventually did, and he shut off the machine, turning to me. "Hey Adam! I was just finishing up on my modifications to that shotgun. Wanna check it out?"
I smiled for a sec, replying, "Yeah! You been working on this all night though?"
"Nah, I just woke up about an hour ago, it's already 9. I do this a lot though..." Rotor scratched the back of his head as he moved over a bit to let me look at his mods to the shotgun, which was a lot. The shiny gun now had what looked like a flashlight on the bottom and sported a bit longer barrel.
"Whoa man! That looks even deadlier than it did when I had that pointed at me!" I said, my eyes wide open now as I looked over the extras. This thing looked more like a serious weapon, even more so than before!
"Thanks, I added a flashlight, and only a longer barrel. It took some time figuring how to put on that flashlight though, and that's why it's got a longer barrel now." Rotor pointed to where the flashlight was being held up by the extra barrel.
"Cool! Well, I'ma go check and see what's up around the place, 'kay Rote?" I asked, heading to the front door, and opening it, some wind blasting in. "Little breezy, huh?"
"Yeah, you can say that!I was outside a while ago, and I actually lost a few pieces of scrap metal from that wind!" Rotor said, holding his hat as some of the wind knocked over a bolt from his desk.
I smirked and walked outside, closing the door after saying a quick "Cya!" to Rotor. I thought of what I was going to do for now, and settled on finding Sally. Unfortunately, I just couldn't find her! "She's gotta be around here somewhere..."
Ignoring random glances by some of people, I walked around, still not finding Sally. However, I eventually found where Bunnie was (beating up a straw pinata-like version of Robotnik). I strode up to her as she finished a combo of kicks to the straw pinata to the head. "Hey Bunnie! How ya doin'?"
"Not too bad. How 'bout you?" Bunnie said, giving one more kick to the straw Robotnik, landing a stomach hit.
"Oh, just woke up! I'm trying to find Sally, but she's not anywhere! I looked pretty much everywhere in the village, except inside houses." I paced around, standing in front of the straw pinata, giving a bit of a punch at it. I chuckled as it went backwards a bit.
"Sally-girl's at the Ring Pool! Say, you think you could knock this off the tree, don'tcha?" Bunnie said, smiling a bit.
"Oh, but of course! Or at least, I can try!" I said, suddenly dropping into one of my multiple fighting stances I made up, giving a combo of kicks and punchs (and elbows) in my attempt to damage the pinata. Of course, I couldn't make it fall off, until I figured out a trick. I smirked as I jumped up and kicked it, sending it backwards. At that moment, I jumped again and grabbed the rope holding it, and I used my light weight to try quickly finding how this was still holding up to the base of the straw head.
I hopped off, and kicked the doll back again, and I quickly grabbed the arm and jumped onto it's head, and give a huge kick to the tip of the head, bursting it open a bit, and causing the ropse knot in the head to come out, and sending the straw Robotnik (and me) down to the ground, where I kneed it in the stomach area. "I think it's gonna need a new knot to keep it up there!"
"Oh mah stars! You actually knocked it down!" Bunnie said, surprised by my feat.
"It's not strength that you need to beat something, it's the tact!" I said, as I jumped off the pinata, landing next to Bunnie. "By the way, which way to the Ring Pool?"
"Uh... that way!" Bunnie said, pointing behind me. "Now I've got to fix this up again... That's the third time today!"
"Thanks Bunnie! I'll cya later!" I said as I headed off to the direction she pointed me, towards the Ring Pool. About a minute of walking, I started to get tired, and I started to reach in my pockets to listen to my iPod.
I was in for a huge shock when I realized that it wasn't there! I checked all my other pockets, and found none of my stuff was there! "Sally musta taken my stuff when I fell asleep!" I said as I started running as fast as possible for myself. After a minute, I reached a clearing, and saw Sally resting her head on a tree, sitting down, and also listening to something on my iPod! I noticed my other stuff next to her.
I quickly ran over, and Sally apparently heard my footsteps, as she turned to my direction, taking the earphones off before I had to myself. "What are you doing here?"
"To... (pant)... get my... stuff back!" I said as I tried to get my breath, where I glanced over to my iPod, and found it paused, on the song Chop Suey at just 43 seconds! "Just in time.." I mumbled, but Sally heard.
"Just in time for what?" Sally asked, looking at me with a slightly suspicious look.
"Seriously, don't listen to my music. Trust me, you'd go crazy or emotional, or both depending on what song!" I said, quickly realizing my mistake of what I just said.
"What do you mean I'd go crazy or emotional by listening to your songs?" Sally picked the earphones up again, and was about to put them back in her ears.
"Seriously, Chop Suey isn't something you'd listen to Sally! Please!" I put my hands together and I sat next to her, "Trust what I'm saying! There are a few songs you'd rather not listen to on there, and that's one of them! And anyways, you'd rather listen to something not so heavy!" I mentally rolled my eyes at my own saying the song was heavy, knowing that this was pretty light of a song. "Also, Play With Me is a much better song! Of course, it's also prolly not your style of music... it's more something Sonic might listen to, if I think I know what kinda music he'd listen to."
"And you'd be willing to guess I couldn't take the song?" Sally said, seeming to ask for a challenge about what I was saying.
"Not guess, but KNOW. Plus, I think you'd like Juke Box Hero better! Good song there..." I said, sitting a bit closer to Sally, grabbing my wallet and putting it back in my pocket, along with getting my iPod and switching it over to the song I just mentioned.
"Oh right... I wonder if Sonic would like those songs then?" Sally put the earphones in her ears, just as I hit the play button for Juke Box Hero. "It's a pretty soft song I'll admit. Just a beat..."
"Trust me, just wait a second. It gets better, a whole lot better." I said, looking up to the sky.

Sonic was running around in the Great Forest again, having his fun, until he heard a huge crashing sound, and the loud buzz of a chainsaw, and another crash. "Uh-oh! I better check this out! Juice time!" With that, Sonic revved up and ran off, grinning. Seconds later, he found the source of the noise: a giant machine was destroying the Great Forest! Several SWATbots were accompanying the machine, and one Hovercraft was near the entire group. "Man, I never get a break! Time to crash Robuttnik's party!"
Sonic ran towards the SWATbots, taunting them with, "Hey, SWATbutts! Can't catch me!" The SWATbots all turn to Sonic, ignoring their normal responsibility of protecting the oversized chainsaw machine.
"Priority one hedgehog spotted!" "Capture the hedgehog!" All the SWATbots started fring their wrist lasers, but Sonic just dodged them with complete ease.
"Missed me! Hahaha! Sorry, but no time to play with you guys! I've got a chainsaw to bust!" Sonic revved up again, and dodged more SWATbot lasers, and he ran around the large machine, which seemed oblivious to Sonic's presence, and just kept cutting trees down. Back in Robotropolis though...
--
"Sir!" Snively appeared on the control room TVs, and Robotnik turned around in his chair.
"What Snively?"
"The hedgehog has been spotted, and he's trying to destroy the Chainsaw Deforester!" Snively said, giving a small salute quickly.
"Excellent... I have his right where I want him... send in the Stealth Bots! I've got a forest to destroy, and I can't do that with the miserable hedgehog in the way..."
"Right away sir!" Snively turned around on the monitor, muttering quietly, "No more miserable than you..."
"What was that Snively?"
"Oh... uh... nothing sir!"
"Good!"
--
Back over at the Great Forest, Sonic was oblivious of the incoming Stealth Bots, as he was still trying to get the attention of the Chainsaw Deforester. "Man, nothing works! I just can't get this thing's attention!"
Overhead, several Stealth bot units reached Sonic's location, and started firing lasers from above, Sonic barely dodging them. "Whoa! And I thought the infantry was bad enough! Here comes the cavalry!" Sonic quickly ran off into the forest. "And that means... I need some reinforcements myself! Juice time!" Sonic increased his speed more, heading right for the Ring Pool, where Adam and Sally were listening to songs.
---
"I told you, I can take anything Sonic can listen to!" Sally said, as she took off her earphone, right after we listened to Play With Me (by Extreme, 80's song BTW).
"Yeah, anything SONIC can listen to! Speaking of Sonic... where is he?" I asked, not knowing Sonic was heading to us at supersonic speeds.
"Right behind ya! I need some help guys! Robuttnik's trashing the Great Forest again!" Sonic said suddenly as he pulled up in front of us. "And it's that time again!"
"Time for... what?" I asked Sally, putting my iPod in my pocket.
"A Power Ring, that's what! My Uncle Chuck invented them for me! I get a burst of energy when I use one. And... if I'm on time... another one is just about to pop-up!" Sonic said, right as the water in the pond started to move around violently. "And here comes on right now!" Right as Sonic said that, a golden ring shot out of the water, right into Sonic's outstretched hand.
"We better go get the others Adam and warn them!" Sally said, grabbing my arm as she started to run back to the village.
"There's no time Sal! By the time you two get to the village and back, there won't BE a forest!" Sonic suddenly grabbed Sally's hand. "Hang on tight, 'cause we're about to go Sonic speed! Juice and jam!"
"Wha!?" I said right before Sonic suddenly revved up and took off, and I found myself flying through the air hanging onto Sally's arm for dear life, which she held Sonic's hand. What seemed like an instant later (and probably WAS), we arrived at the edge of the Great Forest, getting a sight of the large chainsaw weilding machine that was destroying the forest tree by tree! "Whoa! That thing is HUGE!"
"Tell me something I don't already know..." Sonic said, rolling his eyes. I glared at him for a sec, but shook off the thought mentally.
"Whadya think we need to do Sonic?" I asked as I looked at the oversized thing. It was just MASSIVE, easily being as big as a tree itself! Compared to my current height... it seemed rediculously huge.
"It just ignored me when I tried last time, man! But I haven't tried to attack it directly yet so... think that could work?" Sonic said, smacking his fist into his other open palm.
"That might not work Sonic!" Sally said right as Sonic took off. "Ugh... that Sonic just doesn't know how to plan!"
"Tell me about it...run into battle, no plan or any idea of what to do!" I said, remembering of one of my games at home that I modded to have Sonic in. "Looks like we'll just have to plan... without him!"
"Yeah, looks that way."
---
Sonic ran up to the giant machine and up on top of it. "Let's go for a Spin-Dash!" Sonic jumped up and started to use his trademark move on the shell of the blocky machine, but the metal didn't even get dented, and only the paint chipped off. "Aww come on! This thing's stronger than I though! No problemo! I'll just Add a little more power!"
Sonic reached into his backpack, grabbing out his Power Ring, the golden ring shining brightly and Sonic tried aother Spin-Dash into the machine, this time on the side of it, but yet, to the same effect! "What!? THAT didn't work? Man, this really IS tougher than I thought! AND I've got no more Power Rings left!"
---
"Okay, I think I got it." I said as Sally finished telling me her plan. "Let's go!"
"Don't run off like Sonic does!" Sally said, and I (unlike Sonic) actually listened, and stayed put. "We still need to get Sonic's help!"
"Wait what? You never mentioned THAT!" I said as I started to walk a little further out into the clearing. I didn't even notice the SWATbots off to the side who just saw me and Sally, but Sally did thankfully and pulled me back.
"Watch it! There are still SWATbots guarding it, even if Sonic's attacking the thing!" Sally reprimanded me as we hid behind some bushes, letting the SWATbots go by us.
"On the other hand, I think that's the distraction we needed Sal!" I said, noting how every SWATbots was gone now from their guarding posts.
"Yeah, you're right... I guess this is as good a time as any!" Sally said, jumping from the bushes and running over to the machine, while I followed. Sonic was still trying to pound the sides out, but to no avail.
"Sally, Adam! I can't break it open!" Sonic yelled to us as we approached the chainsaw. The hovercraft above us that we didn't even notice suddenly swooped down, and a door opened, and a pair of SWATbot arms grabbed Sally suddenly, causing both Sonic and I to panic. "Sally!"
"No time for a plan anymore! Sonic, there's a control panel over by the side of the back leg of this thing!" I said to Sonic, then noticing a small computer on the ground that apparently Sally had dropped. "What the?"
Sonic jumped down from the top and ran over to the control panel on the robot's leg, and he did a Spin-Dash into it, busting open the panel, revealing a bunch of wires. "Which one do I cut?"
"ALL of them! And hurry, that Hovercraft's getting away!" I said, looking up and running after the craft, but I got cut off by laser fire from above. I looked further up, and saw a ton of aircraft swooping down, and firing missiles right at Sonic! "Sonic! Look out!"
Sonic turned around right at the last second. "Huh?" Right then, the missiles hit where Sonic was standing...

End chapter. Oh man... it's starting to get real interesting! Did Sonic survive the missiles? And more importantly, can anyone save Sally!? Tune in next week for another part of Sonic Rail pt.2!
