Chapter 2-Marble Zone

Sonic passed the controller to Silver.

The next stage of the game seemed like an ancient ruin, with boiling lava under it.

'Do I really have to do this?'

Act 1

Silver collected the first few rings on screen, then jumped skilfully past the lava. He hit a caterpillar-like Badnik, but lost his rings.

'What?! How could I lose rings when I hit the Badnik?!' Silver cried.

'Maybe you're supposed to hit it on the head.' Tails gave an answer. Silver tried it out and sure enough, the caterpillar disappeared instantly, granting them another 100 points. After a run of destroying Badniks, he stopped on a platform on the lava. Suddenly, it caught fire. Silver jumped off the platform, only to encounter 3 of the same platforms.

'GAH! THIS IS REALLY A PAIN!'Silver screamed.

Soon, they found themselves in a dungeon. Their way was blocked by a spiked bar. They found a button to activate it, but as soon as they got off it, the bar fell again.

'Maybe I should push that block onto the button…' Silver thought. He pushed it, and the path was clear yet again. This time, he went through it without being blocked.

'That's my Sonic! The one who's not just fast, but very smart too!' Amy remarked. Silver coughed suddenly.

Then, Silver hit the checkpoint, and skilfully made it past the dungeon. He went on to finish the level.

Act 2

Heading to yet another dungeon, Silver found another block, next to a pit of lava this time.

'If I was the main character in this, maybe this would have been easier,' Blaze said.

Silver pushed the block into the lava. It floated. So, he jumped onto it and got to the other side. As he pushed a tile of blocks to access the next area, a gush of lava suddenly appeared.

'Typical logic.' Shadow grunted.

Rushing past the lava, Silver then passed the next lava pool via a block, and escaped the dungeon.

'Well, that's over with.' Rouge said. Little did they know…

'ANOTHER DUNGEON?!' Perhaps no one expected it, as they all screamed at the exact same time. Thankfully, this dungeon was much easier (thanks to a nearby invincibility box) and they cleared it, gaining another Chaos Emerald via another giant ring. This one in particular was yellow.

Act 3

'Which path should I take…?' Silver mumbled.

'Just take a path, Silver. It'll lead up to the same place anyway.' Shiny replied. Sure enough, when he reached the next lava pool, Silver found the other pathway next to it.

'Wow Mr. Shiny, you know a lot about these games!' Cream appraised Shiny. Shiny just smiled at her.

Jumping above the lava pit, Silver found himself near death at the second spike bar. In a desperate attempt to survive, he moved right, only to find a secret passageway that led to an item box. This one had Sonic's face on it.

'There you go fans, my face in perfect 16-bit pixilation.' Sonic said sarcastically, breaking the fourth wall at the same time.

'Faker, there's no point breaking the fourth wall. You're just wasting your time.' Shadow growled.

'Ok, Shads, no need to be that serious…' Sonic just shrugged at the comment.

When Silver hit the item box, a cheery tune was played.

'Hey, did someone notice that?' Shiny pointed towards the bottom-left corner. Surely enough, there was a life added. Progressing through the secret passageway, Silver is nearly crushed by a bar. Thankfully, he dodged just in time. Soon, they escaped the dungeon and came face to face with none other than Dr. Eggman.

'Seriously? Two platforms? They're making this too easy.' Tails groaned. And he was right, with Sonic easily escaping the flames shot by Eggman by switching platforms. He was soon defeated. And so, they hit the animal cage, and went to the next zone.

I made SO MUCH research to do these fanfics. I deserve credit for that, seriously. But still, the next chapter will be Spring Yard Zone! Please R&R!
