So on to the next chapter!

Chapter 5

Wave Ocean

Sonic stared at the loop ahead of him, unsure what to do. He was somehow standing sideways, and could apparently jump from that position without falling.

Suddenly, he said "I've got to hurry and save Elise!" (against his will, of course, as he had an immense dislike of the teenage princess) and ran forward (also without meaning to).

Sonic cried out "WATER!" in fright, as he couldn't swim like the real Sonic, but soon found that he could ride on the aqua liquid. Coming up to a bit of land, he gratefully ran up it, only to be catapulted up.

"WAAAAAAUGH!" he yelled, landing with his abnormally large head stuck in the sand. He feebly attempted to get out, but failed. He was soon fired out of the sand by a robot. He homing attacked it and its two counterparts (after all, they're too generic to get a REAL action scene) and jogged towards the next loop. A dash pad was positioned at the loop's base, and Sonic was, once more, flung forward to another stretch of somehow-not-letting-him-fall water. He went to the second loop in it, as the first was to close to reach comfortably, but because of the lack of a dash pad, he stopped when he was completely upside down.

Looking around confused, Sonic turned his head up and saw the water he had been gliding on just moments earlier. Suddenly feeling rather nauseated, he jumped to get down, momentarily forgetting his fear of H2O. When that (somehow) didn't work, Sonic concluded that Soleanna was filled with dark magic and sorcerers, and that they wouldn't let him leave until he rescued their princess.

Taking a deep breath, Sonic assessed the situation quietly. He then came up with a plan to get away.

"HEY! TAILS! GET YOUR *** OVER HERE!" he yelled.

Suddenly, a wild TORNADO appeared! TORNADO used MEGAPHONE! MEGAPHONE told FAKESONIC to run forward!

After heeding the Pokémon's advice, Sonic succeeded in getting down. He rode the water the rest of the way to the beach.

Using the dash pad available, he took hold of an iron rod and swung, jumping off as soon as he got the correct angle. Not that that made sense since his eyes shouldn't have been able to tell, but hey, physics don't matter here, right?

Landing on a grassy area, he quickly defeated the robot waiting for him with a homing attack and ran to the checkpoint.

Sonic homing attacked to a spring and wall-jumped a few times, landing on a grinding rail. The rail sent him to a spring, which in turn bounced him to another hill. After getting past it and passing through the checkpoint, Sonic was thrown into the I-don't-agree-with-you-physics-so-you-can-go-to-hell water and skimmed to a small bridge.

Using a spring to jump to the next part of the well-worn bridge (lord knows why it was there in the first place), Sonic ran as fast as he could as he sensed a presence underneath him. Soon enough, an orca straight out of SA1 came out of the water, destroying part of the bridge, and began to chase Sonic down the bridge. Sonic made it through, but after reaching the end of the bridge, yelled "Jump!" (thanks, Captain Obvious) and jumped (oh, how surprising) until the only thing left to jump to...was the orca's fin.

"Tails! Go ahead and find the gate switch so he doesn't get out!" Sonic yelled to Tails, who was conveniently waiting on an island near the now-destroyed bridge.

"Okay, Sonic! I'll be right back!" Tails answered, then took off, island hopping until he reached another bridge. yeah, smart thinking, Tails! Because Sonic clearly didn't just get KIDNAPPED BY AN KILLER WHALE ON A BRIDGE JUST LIKE THIS ONE!

But because Tails couldn't break the fourth wall, he just flew over the bridge because I have author powers and don't want Tails die and be horribly mutilated. Hey, I'm not THAT sadistic. Landing on the island, he wasted no time in throwing his fake rings at the robots there, thus destroying them (WTF). He then hovered up to a platform, destroyed the robots there, and repeated the process for the next, higher platform. Touching the switch that he hoped would close the gate, he squeezed his eyes shut, knowing he couldn't bear it if it didn't work.

"Thank you, Tails! You saved me!" Sonic voice rang out clear to the ears of the young fox, and he cheered.

Sonic, meanwhile, jumped over the gate anyway. Why he needed Tails to close the gate is a mystery even he can't solve. (In fact, the Chaotix tried, to no avail.)

"Darn! We're not gonna make it! Let's speed up!" Sonic yelled (without meaning to). He then took off. It wasn't at the speed of sound, but it sure was fast.

He went between pillars, using dash pads, but eventually hit his arm on a rock. He then promptly began to break dance. "Wha- WHY AM I BREAK DANCING?!" Sonic yelled, but dismissed it as the dark magic of Soleanna's doing.

After reaching a bridge, Sonic used a spring to jump to a lighthouse nearby, then wall-jumped twice, his feet somehow hovering above the walls rather than staying on them. He landed on a bridge and continued running. Reaching a beach, he jumped over the robots there as he was going to fast to safely destroy them (OXYMORONS FTW), went up another bridge, ran on the dash pad there, and went to a larger loop. he went around it, and he was almost there...!

But then the missed the dash pad by 0.0000000000000000000001 millimeters and fell into the ocean.

After repeating the whole section (corny dialogue included), he reached this point again, and tried once more. After failing a second time, he repeated this until he was on his last life, life 0 (don't question the logic) and somehow succeeded. A couple of large, conveniently placed buldings later, and Sonic had reached the goal ring.

One result screen later, and he let go of the awkward "backward thumbs-up) posture, panting heavily.

A/N Criticism, anyone? I'm doing this for fun, but also to get better as a writer, and I'd like to know my weak points so I can improve them. That said, all flamers welcome :P See y'all real soon!
