Chapter 10: SA1 Part 1
"Tangle's Log
It's been about… six months I think since the last time I wrote in here. Don't know why I stopped… I guess I just lost the motivation after what happened with the Emeralds.
Ok, I never actually wrote about that, so, here we go. We managed to gather all the Chaos Emeralds and activate Chaos Control. Cool huh? Well, about that, Sonic and I almost got killed in the process, and, as it turns out, Sonic doesn't really have much experience using Chaos Control, so he might of done something other than what was intended.
So, instead of us going back home to our world, our world is coming here to us.
There is this place called the Mystic Ruins from our world that showed up, along with a place called Angel Island. Apparently, Angel Island is the place that Knuckles really wanted to go back to, so I am happy for him.
That being said, there is still the matter of Cream's Mom and Jewel…
From the looks of things, more and more parts of our planet are making their way to this planet. Mainly, the residents. Right now it looks like this is mostly just the Flicky's and the like, so those two are unfortunately not here yet, but we think they'll show up eventually. Truth be told, we are still a bit unsure about all this world merging thing, so we decided to not try and gather the emeralds again to avoid things taking a turn for the worse.
While this means that things have been kinda relaxing lately, this also means that Jewel is stuck home for a while…
Truth be told, for a while I blamed myself for things going so badly, but Tails and the others pretty much drilled it into my head that it wasn't.
That being said, I have been working to make up for it, and I helped Tails with a little project that he was excited about.
Remember when we were talking about our dreams, and how Tails wanted to open a workshop nearby? Well, that's what we've been working on! We built him a nice little place in a cliffside in the Mystic Ruins! Took a while, but I think it came out pretty well. As a matter of fact, I have kinda been staying here for the past couple of days. I just needed a change of scenery for a while, and I'll go back to Chris' place pretty soon I think, or maybe I will stay with Amy in her new apartment.
Oh yeah, Amy moved into the city… don't know why really, but she seemed pretty keen on doing it.
Anyways, I mentioned before that it's been six months since my last entry, and you know what that means!
YUP! I am officially a teenager now! I mean, we didn't really celebrate it… seeing as how I didn't tell anyone… but that's fine. I want to wait to celebrate with Jewel.
I'm not the only one though, most of us had our birthdays really. Tails is nine now, Amy is also thirteen, and Sonic sixteen… no clue about Knuckles though. As for Cream, she turns seven pretty soon here. I think it's in a few weeks.
Speaking of Sonic, dude's been off the grid lately. No-one really knows where he's been. We're not worried though, he can take care of himself… Amy still misses him though.
And… I think that's it. I think that pretty much sums up everything!"
Tangle put the notebook away, and got up to stretch. She then went outside to take a look at the weather.
"Seems like the weather is gonna be better than last night… that rain was nuts." Tangle said. "Hey Tails! I think I'm gonna go for a walk in town! You want me to pick you up anything?"
"Nah, I don't think I need anything. Thanks though!" Tails said.
"Alright, see you later!" Tangle said as she ran outside.
"I have a feeling today is gonna be an interesting one!"
After walking around in town for a while, Tangle spotted a couple of familiar faces.
"Oh hey! Cream! Chris!"
"Huh?… Oh! Tangle!" Chris said as she approached the two.
"How's it hanging?" Tangle asked.
"Well… we just got out from seeing my mom and…"
Cream then held out a jewelry box, and inside was…
"A Chaos Emerald?!"
"Yeah, she bought it on a whim for Cream…" Chris said. "We were just about to head home to decide what to do with it."
"Sounds like a plan." Tangle said. "I better come with, you never know when Eggman might show up and try to take it."
"Well, let's get going then."
The following series of events were… strange to say the least.
First, Cheese crashed into a frog… then they saw that the frog had a tail… then a giant purple cat came and crashed right into them.
And now, they were just trying to find out from this giant purple cat just what in the world he was doing…
For the past several hours.
"He's not a frog…"
"Huh?"
"He's Froggy!"
"OH COME ON!" Tangle shouted in frustration. "Ok, you were looking to find your friend Froggy, right?!"
The cat, named Big, nodded.
"Ok! Great! We'll help you look! Let's get going!" Tangle said before leading the group away.
For another hour, the group searched the city to try and find Froggy.
Eventually though…
"Uh… is that puddle moving?" Tangle asked, pointing at a nearby puddle.
The puddle was indeed moving, and morphed into some weird water monster.
"… I don't like the looks of this…" Chris said.
The monster then seemed to go on a rampage as it began to destroy the park around them.
"Whoa! Ok! Uh… this is looking dangerous! You guys get somewhere safe, and I'll take care of this!" Tangle said.
"Right, good luck!" Chris said before they ran away.
"Alright you pile of blue snot, let's… wait where did it…?"
Looking around the park, Tangle saw that it was trying to escape through a manhole.
"Hey! Get back here!" Tangle shouted as she ran over and tore the manhole off.
Taking a look inside though…
"… That is too tight of a fit for my liking, I'll pass…"
Taking note of which direction the monster was going, she began her chase from above ground.
"Ugh, I have no idea where this thing went… hopefully the others got to safety…" Tangle said as she kicked the dirt.
"Yo Tangle!" She heard from above.
Looking up, she saw Sonic waving to her.
"Sonic! What's up?"
"There's something going on over that way, I'm gonna go check it out!"
Turning towards where Sonic was pointing, she saw a crowd begin to form along side some police cars.
"… I think I found my snot monster!" Tangle said as she ran towards the crowd.
Making her way to the front, she was just in time to see a bunch of police officers try and shoot the thing… only for the bullets to do nothing.
"Ok… that didn't work…" Tangle said as the officers and crowd began to run away. "Alright creep, now you got me to deal with!" She shouted while stepping forward.
She looked towards Sonic and winked, to reassure him that she could handle this.
The monster began by swiping it's rather stretchy arms at her, which she was easily able to duck under. She then quickly closed the distance and delivered a quick roundhouse to it's abdomen, though it didn't seem to do much.
"Geez, this thing really can take a hit…" Tangle said. "That's fine though, gives me a chance to try out my new move!"
The monster then fired out a stream of water that tore holes into the ground.
"Don't want that to hit me…" Tangle said as she began to close the distance once more.
The monster then attempted to deliver a large punch, only for her to jump over the fist.
She then did a front flip and used the momentum from the flip to slam her tail onto the monster's head, crushing it and reducing it to a puddle once more.
"And that, is how it's done!" Tangle said.
"Nice work!" Sonic said as he hopped down from his hiding place. "That move you just did was pretty impressive."
"Thanks, been working on that for a while now!" Tangle said.
"Kinda reminds me of what you tried against that big robot six months ago." Sonic said.
"That's where I got the idea!" Tangle said with a laugh.
"So, does the move got a name?"
"It needs a name?"
"Yeah, you know, like I have the spindash, you have the…" Sonic started.
"Uh… How about Tail Hammer?" Tangle asked.
"Sounds good to me!" Sonic said.
"Uh… guys?" Chris suddenly interrupted.
"Yeah?"
"It's getting away…"
Sonic and Tangle looked over to see the monster trying to escape through a manhole again.
"Hey! Get back here!"
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!"
The group looked up to seen Eggman floating there.
"Oh great… he's back…" Tangle said.
"Yes, and I will be taking this!" Eggman said as a claw came out and snatched the Chaos Emerald out of Cream's hands.
"RUDE!" Tangle said as she leapt after the claw, only to fall just short.
"Chaos! Catch!" Eggman shouted as she threw the Emerald at the water monster.
"Chaos?"
When the emerald reached the monster, it reemerged, now wielding a large, rather creepy arm.
"I see, so the stone tablet was right! Chaos grows stronger with each emerald it absorbs!"
"So it's called Chaos?"
And then Knuckles showed up.
"What did you do with the Master Emerald?!" Knuckles asked.
"Wait, what happened?"
"We'll talk later, we gotta take this thing down first!" Sonic said.
"Three on one really isn't that fair… good thing I have this!" Eggman said as he threw another Chaos Emerald at Chaos.
"WHERE DID HE GET THAT?!" Tangle asked.
When the light faded, it's other arm took the same shape.
"Well… big deal! If I could handle regular Chaos by myself, all three of us can easily beat him now!" Tangle said before charging.
She then attempted a Tail Hammer to strike Chaos' head.
"What the, a barrier?!"
"GET AWAY!" Sonic shouted.
Chaos' barrier then began to envelop Tangle as she grunted in pain from the electricity flowing through her, before she got sent flying back by a punch from Chaos.
"Ugh… that hurt…"
"Stay down, we'll handle this!" Sonic said before the two of them got to work.
"I can still help…" Tangle said before pulling herself to her feet.
When she got a good look, she saw Knuckles rapidly punching the barrier while Sonic was building up speed.
Deciding to help, Tangle used her tail to deliver a massive blow to the barrier, and with Knuckles' help, they were able to destroy it.
Just in time too as Sonic suddenly charged in at a blistering speed and tore a hole straight through the beast, sending it to the ground.
"Whoo!" Tangle shouted before feeling a slight bit of pain from that punch earlier. "And ow… Whoo and ow!"
"Grr…. this isn't the end!" Eggman shouted before taking Chaos and leaving.
"So… This really is a mess… huh?" Tangle asked.
"Yeah…" Sonic said.
"Let's head home and…" Tangle said before a strange feeling overcame her, causing he to stumble a bit.
"Tangle?"
She felt herself suddenly start to fall towards the ground… and everything went white.
End of Chapter 10
Uh oh… Something happened to Tangle! Eh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
So, this is technically the first game rewrite! I will be titling game rewrite chapters as such for those of you who want to skip to a specific game. So the next chapter is just gonna be SA1 part 2 and so on. If you have thought I haven't really changed much so far, don't worry, the game rewrites are where I am going to REALLY be mixing it up, as you will see in the next chapter.
Also, something big is established in this chapter that I feel like a lot of people will overlook… almost everyone is a year older now! Yeah, I always find it really weird when characters don't age despite it being clear that a large amount of time has passed, or a plot point involves a birthday. The fact that Sonic is 15 both before and after Generations is something that bothers me… By the way, Knuckles was already 16 when the story started, as his birthday is in February, so he is still 16. Cream's birth date is unknown, so I am gonna say that it is the same date as Sonic Advance 2's release date, being Mid-December, and since the turning of a new year is a plot point in a later episode, we will get to that at some point! If you are wondering when Tangle's birthday is, let's just say it is Mid-November. It just makes it a lot easier to think about. I know her first appearance was in April, but it just wouldn't work out if it was then, so Mid-November it is!
Anyways, see you all next time!
