Chapter 2: Spines and Fireballs

Before the actual battle really started, the head Yoshi sent out the notorious red yoshi. This yoshi is the expert spy. This is the last red yoshi. This yoshi is female. All red yoshis become spies. It has been this way for years now in Nintendo's army. This red yoshi has the current task of kidnapping Amy. She left for this job very early in the morning. No troops are actually situated in Sega at the moment. They are all fighting the war. This made the red yoshi's job extremely easy. All she has to do is really walk towards the Green Hill Zone. The Green Hill Zone is located not to far from the lake which makes up most of the boundary between Nintendo and Sega. It's only about a few miles away. The red yoshi reaches the place in about half of a hour. It is sunny in the Green Hill Zone. No robots are around. No rings are laying around. It's completely empty. The red yoshi marches through this place without a care in the world. The presidential house is located at the end of Green Hill Zone. The place is like the white house. It's kind of weird to see such a place just sitting on top of a grassy hill, but the red yoshi goes on ahead about her business. She walks to it.

As it has already been said, Amy is the first lady. This is not the Amy we know today. No, this is the Sonic CD Amy. The before Sonic Adventure Amy. She is currently pacing the floor in Sonic's office. The fact that Sonic is out there fighting has her pretty worried. Robotnik is here too. He is actually sitting in Sonic's chair. Robotnik isn't much of a threat anymore. He is actually helping Sonic in the war. He is currently eating a sandwich. On his lap is a briefcase. This briefcase contains the functions for missile launching and things of that nature. Robotnik is laying back in Sonic's chair. He has his feet on Sonic's desk. To the right of his foot is the communicator. He uses this to chat with Sonic and Tails. The main thing he is doing right now is watching as Amy constantly pace floor, worrying about Sonic. He shakes his head then continues to eat his sandwich. This moment is broken by the red yoshi. She came through the door that's in the room. Robotnik falls out of Sonic's chair and drops his sandwich. He knows about the legendary red yoshi family and their special skill in spying. Robotnik has a gun out. He points this at the red yoshi, who is on the other side of the room at the moment. Amy really doesn't know about this yoshi. She actually walks to it. Robotnik has a confused look on his face. The red yoshi is actually scared. She is in the corner of the room. Amy walks up to it. She pets it on the head with a huge smile on her face. The red yoshi is smiling as well.

"Isn't it cute, Robotnik," Amy told Robotnik. Robotnik puts his gun away.

"Amy," Robotnik screamed. "She is from the red yoshi family. She comes from a long line of spies. She probably came here to capture you."

"No," Amy said. She is still petting the red yoshi. The red yoshi is actually pretty happy. "I don't think this one is bad. It's kind of like a cute dinosaur mixed with a dragon. I want to keep her."

"The head Yoshi will come here for her," Robotnik said. "We can't keep her. Sonic might not approve anyway."

"Like I need Sonic's permission," Amy said.

"Alright then," Robotnik said. He picks the chair back up. He then continues to sit in it and finish eating his sandwich. Amy decided to take the red yoshi outside.

Back to Sonic and Tails. They are currently exiting the jungle in their giant robot. Sonic and Tails got out once they exited the jungle. They decided that it would be best to continue on foot. They are actually pretty close to the Mushroom Kingdom at the moment. It is located in the heart of Nintendo. The exact middle. The place is really nothing special, but Sonic and Tails are still shocked to see it. The whole Mushroom Kingdom is closed off by a huge, golden gate. No guards are around. They are actually deeper inside guarding the castle. Sonic and Tails are able to push the gate open. They are now in what I would like to call, Mushroom Village. All toads who are not part of the army or the royal guard live in this area. It is kind of a poor area. The streets are made of cobblestone. The individual little house kind of looks like old mushrooms. The streets are empty because of the war and such, but normally this place would be pretty lively. It is obvious that Mario really doesn't care about his people much. Mushroom Village looks mighty horrible. It is pretty small in size too, as the castle can be seen from the entrance gate. The streets are easy to navigate. Sonic is currently running with Tails right behind him. They stop once they come across a statue. This statue is in gold. It is a statue of Mario riding on top of yoshi. He has a cape as well. Try to picture the Super Mario World boxart if you will, but in golden statue form. Sonic and Tails both notice that this statue is located on the biggest street in the village. Straight ahead is the castle. They run straight for it. Both Mario and Luigi aren't actually in the castle. They are standing on the drawbridge. Sonic and Tails are standing on the far end of it right now. Mario and Luigi are standing on the end closer to the castle. Mario chuckles has he sees Sonic and Tails arrive. Sonic has a serious and irritated look on his face. Luigi and Tails are standing around like innocent bystanders.

"You finally came to see me, ehh blue rat," Mario said mockingly.

Sonic just stared at Mario. Mario still has that sinister, evil look on his face. "I bet you fight as silly as sound," Sonic said loudly. "That's the worst Italian accent I've ever heard."

Mario puts his right foot forward. "Well, maybe we should stop talking and get this over with," he said.

Sonic chuckled. "Fine by me. I'll show you!"

Mario reaches into one of the pockets on his blue overalls. He pulls out a feather. He uses it to grow a cape. He then balds his right hand into a fist. His hand ignites. Sonic is actually shocked to see this in person. He heard the rumors about how the formal leader of Sega was choked to death by Mario's fire fist, and now he is actually seeing it. Mario is actually still in his stance. He is waiting as if he thought Sonic had something as well. Sonic really does have the Chaos Emeralds on him, but he is waiting to save those as a last resort. Mario jumps into the air. He flies at Sonic. Tails is off of the drawbridge at the moment. He is just watching. Sonic looks at this and laughs. Sonic starts to run. He can run way faster than Mario can fly. Sonic jumps. He is in his ball form. He collides with Mario in midair. Mario's cap flies off of his head. It falls off of the drawbridge and into the moat below. Mario smacks into the doors on the castle. Sonic starts to run towards Mario who is sitting on the ground in front of the castle door. Luigi steps in front of him and stops him. Without saying a word, Luigi shoots a fireball a Sonic. Sonic jumps over the slow moving fireball. He kicks Luigi in the face. Luigi falls off of the drawbridge and into the moat. Tails was ready to help Sonic when he saw Luigi interfere, but Sonic took care of him no problem. Mario is now back on his feet. He has a bruise on his forehead. He is extremely mad since Sonic knocked his cap off. Mario pulls a star out of his pocket. Sonic doesn't know what this means now that Mario is glowing, but he is too confident right now to care. Sonic spindashes towards Mario with incredible speed. Mario has his back against the door. He jumps up to avoid the spindash. Sonic hits the door. He unrolls himself. Mario is right besides him. Mario grabs Sonic by the neck. His right hand his already on fire. Tails decides to help after seeing this. Tails runs towards the scene. Sonic orders him to stay back. Sonic closes his eyes. The Chaos Emeralds come from out, well, wherever he keeps them. They float around him in a circle. Mario is seeing this so he has increased the power of his choke. Sonic transforms into Super Sonic. Mario is blown away by the incredible force. He flies through the doors that lead into the castle. All of the guards are actually in the castle. Mario wanted to kill Sonic using his own two hands. He order the toad army to stay in the castle. Once they see Mario being flung onto the floor in the main hall of the castle with is cap missing and a wound on his head, they actually ran. Mario is laying in the middle of this hall on the sun mat. Super Sonic is in a world of pain right now. His neck was almost burnt. Super Sonic grabs Mario. With the last piece of strength he has left in him, he throws Mario into the air. He kicks Mario as hard as he can. The already unconscious Mario flies through the wall of the castle. He lands into the star fountain in the backyard. Super Sonic isn't floating anymore. He is on his knees gasping for air. The Chaos Emeralds are laying around him in a circle. Sonic is now his regular self again. Tails runs to him. Sonic looks at Tails. He is lying down on the carpet.

"I won the battle," Sonic said weakly. His neck has a burn mark around it. He gives Tails a thumbs up then collapses. Tails picks up all of the Chaos Emeralds. He flies Sonic out of the castle himself.

Meanwhile, Knuckles' and Yoshi's battle went pretty smoothly in Knuckles' favor. Yoshi didn't have much going for him anyway. Yoshi charged at Knuckles. Knuckles stuck out his right hand. He is wearing the shovel claws. Knuckles punches Yoshi on his nose. Yoshi's nose has two holes in it which were made by the shovel claws. They began to leak blood. Yoshi jumps back. He pulls out ten eggs. He throws one at Knuckles. Knuckles punches the egg. The egg explodes. Knuckles is unharmed. Yoshi throws all of eggs and Knuckles disposes of them the same way. Yoshi runs towards Knuckles yet again. He sticks his tongue out. Knuckles grabs his tongue. Yoshi is scared and he tries to get away, but his tongue is reeling him back in and he doesn't have much room to maneuver in anyway since they are in a forest. Knuckles hits Yoshi with an uppercut. Yoshi flies into the air. He lands on his back. He now has two wounds on his chin from the shovel claws. Yoshi is really a coward. He orders his men to retreat. Yoshi staggers away with his troops in front of him. Knuckles tells his army to scout Yoshi Island and stay situated here. Knuckles and his army has taken over Yoshi Island.

In space, Ristar is actually beating Fox as well. The backup arwings that Fox called for were taken down by Ristar's stars. They can be seen now, but that doesn't mean that they aren't fast. Fox knows that he doesn't have anymore backup to call for. Only Slippy and him are left to take on Ristar's now infinite star army. It was kind of a bad idea to take Ristar into space since he has the power to control stars. Yeah, this isn't going to end well. Ristar has a smile on his face. Fox is pissed. Slippy is scared. Fox decides that he can maybe keep up with the speed of the stars if he uses his boost. Slippy went back to the planet. He is long gone. Fox decided to use his boost. He only has a few minutes to possibly take down Ristar. Fox has activated his boost. Ristar raises his hand. Fox can see the stars. Ristar points forward. Fox can now actually see the stars move. He shoots them down one by one. Ristar only sent ten stars. Ristar sends twenty more star towards Fox's arwing. Fox is able to reflect them by using barrel roll now that he can see them. He only has a little bit of boost left. He saved the bomb. Ristar sent a hundred stars at Fox which is his limit. Fox released his bomb. Ristar is caught in this huge explosion. All of his stars were destroyed. Once the blast cleared, Ristar was gone. He wasn't actually gone, he fell to the planet. Fox flies back down as well. Ristar lands in the huge lake. Ecco swims to him. It seems as though Ristar's right arm is broken. Ecco took Ristar to the surface. He puts him on the land surrounding the lake. Ecco then goes back into the water.

Knuckles went back to the Green Hill Zone to tell everyone the good news. He walks into the presidential house. The first thing he hears is Amy crying. Knuckles took the stairs. He ran to the top floor. Sonic is in the infirmary. He is laying down on a bed. His neck is wrapped in bandages. Tails is making sure that Sonic is alright. Knuckles walks into the room. He runs to the bed that Sonic is in. Sonic is actually sleeping at the moment. He is sleeping so hard that he can't hear Amy crying. Sonic has a smile on his face, for he is happy with his accomplishment. He won the first battle. Knuckles walks to Tails.

"What happened," Knuckles asked. He is now staring at the bandages around Sonic's neck.

"Mario almost beat him," Tails said sadly. "Mario had Sonic around the neck in some type of death grip. Mario can make fire so Sonic's neck was almost burnt completely. I wanted to help, but Sonic stopped me. He used the Chaos Emeralds to beat Mario. Once he beat Mario, he collapsed."

"Oh," Knuckles said. "Sonic won? That's a good thing. I'm sure he will recover soon. My army driven the master Yoshi out of Yoshi Island. We have taken over that spot now."

"That's good," Tails said. "We can't get too happy now though. This was only battle one. I am sure that it will get harder down the line."

"Amy," Knuckles screamed. "Stop crying already. You've been at since before I got here. Sonic is sleeping it off right now and he will wake up soon so you should chill out. Everything's gonna be fine."
