Revision as of 00:54, 10 April 2010

The names of the characters are going to be changed soon.

The first scene has 'Sonic' and 'Tails' in it. They are resting in a meadow. (Sunshine Paradise will be full of them.)

"Ahhh. this is the life, eh buddy?"

"Yeah..."

In the distance, a loud roar is heard.

'Sonic' tells 'Tails' to stay there.

"Do you think this has to do with these strange disappearances?"

"I don't know buddy. I'm going to go see what the racket is, just avoid whatever these... things are..."

"'Sonic'! But they'll wind up hurting YOU! I want to help!"

"No, stay on your guard back here. I do NOT want these things to hurt you!"

"Sonic..."

"Okay... let's meet up at the waterfall, then. Just stay on your guard."

Sonic rushes off.

Tails rushes off in the opposite direction.

(Sunshine paradise act 1)

Suddenly, 'Sonic' is ambushed by a pitch black creature with sharp claws and purple, glowing, markings. The beast lunges at him, and nearly knocks Sonic out, but Sonic recovers and Spin-Dashed right into the beast. The beast dissipated.

'Sonic' is then ambushed by yet another one, and it manages to get its claws around Sonic, but Sonic, at the last minute, jumps and shakes him off. Sonic then jumps on top of this one and it disappears. Finally, the attacks stop. 'Sonic' realizes that 'Tails' could be in trouble.

Sonic rushes to the waterfall.

(Sunshine paradise act 2)

At the river bank, Sonic sees a dam.

"How the heck did that get built so fast?!"

Tails isn't here.

"Tails? Are you okay? Where are you? Tails? TAILS?!"

Sonic assumed that Tails had been captured, but he might've even escaped... but he must find him before something bad happens. An anteater comes out of the woods.

"Run!" The anteater screamed.

The anteater gets grabbed by two of them and it disappears.

He realizes that these strange creatures of darkness are kidnapping a bunch of innocent animals... that's what the disappearances are being causd by.

They HAVE encountered them before, but know, they are sure that this and the disappearances are connected. As he's considering what is happening, the boss drops in.

The boss is just a powered-up creature for now.

"Wh-what are you?! Where are all my friends?!"

The giant creature just growls at him. Sonic quickly goes from shock to rage.

"...You are going down! I have had it with these disappearances!"

(Sunshine Paradis Boss)

A young gazelle comes out of the woods after the boss is beaten.

"Sonic! Please help us!"

"What's wrong?"

"That dam is cutting off our water supply... we are running out of clean water to drink!"

"Don't worry, little guy, I'll get your water back!"

"Thank you!"

Sonic thinks to himself... "Maybe Tails just was curoius about this thing too and went to explore it..."

(Waterwork Zone act 1 and 2)

Sonic comes up a ledge to find a caped figure.

"What the... who are you?!"

"Hahahahaha... You fool. Do you not recognize me, Gimacian, the Dark?!"

"...No. Not really."

"BAH! That very name will soon make this land tremble with fear! It doesn't matter, you won't get in my way! If you even come a step closer, you shall be crushed like an insignificant BUG!"

'Sonic' steps forward, "I'll take my chances."

"You think you are wise to be doing such a thing? Pity. I wished I wouldn't have to do this, but it looks like I must."

Gimacian summons a massive dark beast resembling an octopus. It was in a tank just below them.

"You... YOU'RE THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE MONSTERS!"

"Yes, heh heh heh. I guess I am. ATTACK!"

(Waterwork Zone Boss)

It manages to whack 'Sonic' into the tank. It is able to shoot lasers out of it's tentacles, and is battled a bit like the Sonic Rush bosses, which has them in the background instead of on the same plane. 'Sonic' destroys the beast easily, and the resulting explosion cause the dam to be destroyed. Sonic and Gimacian get away just before the blast.

Sonic then thinks about how he will catch up to that fiend. He has no clue where he went. Then, the gazelle comes up to Sonic again.

"We have water again!"

"Yeah, but I didn't stop the guy."

"I may be able to help you. Lately, it seems as if the beasts have been coming from the Rainbow"

"But, I thought the Rainbow didn't exist! I mean, it's supposed to be able to get you anywhere in our world!"

"I know an entrance to it. If you follow the beasts, maybe you can stop them from where they're coming from!"

Sonic is led to the Rainbow Zone.

(Rainbow Zone act 1 and 2)

"HALT!"

Sonic gets surprised to see a very spiky green creature jump out. It appears to be a porcupine.

"Who are you?"

"I am Sharp, protecter of this realm. What business do you have here?"

"I'm trying--"

"YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS! NOBODY SHOULD BE IN THIS SACRED PLACE!"

"But there's these creatures all over the place that are kidnapping everyone I know! Please, let me through!"

"No! Those who come here only crave power! It is my duty to keep this power protected!"

"But Gimacian..."

"I know not of this Gimacian! I know only of you and these dark creatures, which I presume are after YOU! I suppose I'll have to fix that!"

(Sharp battle 1. Sharp is able to fling his spines at you. They do not cause all rings to be lost, but instead, a ring drain due to poisoning. This will make the boss quite hard. This time around, the spines are easily avoided, and there isn't too many. He only takes 4 hits.)

Sonic appears in a wooded area, but the trees are all dying and there are strange mutations in wildlife.

'Sonic' and 'Knuckles' would go after Gimacian, who, expecting them to come, sends a massive beast of darkness after them. Gimacian gives a classic "HAHA, YOU CAN'T STOP ME!" before running off. Only 'Knuckles' can fight this boss, as it is on higher ground that requires climbing.

After getting through Exotic Paradise, they would eventually encounter a giant city made of ice. It has a dark aura over it. Being curious if that was where Gimacian had run off to, they go there.

(City Chill Zone act 1 and 2)

They ran into a strange robot that seemed to purposely be freezing the entire city to make it so people could not live there. As a result, there are no people in the entire city. The boss can freeze a character solid.

(City Chill Boss)

Then, they notice something that stands out, a massive stadium with music blaring out of it. They figured that would be a place to look, since it is possibly where the people went. Perhaps this city wasn't so empty after all. 

They go through the zone, but there is still nobody there at all... even though there is a temperature differential. Ironically, they face Gimacian again, who, sick of his creatures' failures, actually fights them personally. He also explains (before the battle) that he didn't freeze this area because HE was still in it. He'd have attacks like Black Void, which would suck nearly everything into it, including 'Sonic' or 'Knuckles', and cause ring loss. After his defeat, Gimacian laughs at them. He claims that he wasn't at his full power here because he had not obtained a single dimensional ring yet. He says that when he gets them, the world will see his power, etc.

'Knuckles' says that he should end it here and now. Gimacian laughs at this (Yes, he's a real butthole), and claims that if he kills him here and now, that he won't be able to save 'Sonic's' friend. Sonic says "No, you don't mean..." Gimacian says "Yes, I do mean. 'Tails' is at the mercy of about 12 unforgiving dragons. They're under my control, and if you kill me, they will kill him."

'Knuckles' tells 'Sonic' that he should just get over it... what Gimacian's doing would be far worse than a single life lost. 'Sonic' says no. He can't lose 'Tails', not after all they've been through.

'Sonic' yells at Gimacian, "WHERE IS HE?!"

"He's in a desert west of here. You'd best hurry, the dragons are getting hungry."

"GRAAAAAAGH!"

'Sonic' runs away to the desert, and 'Knuckles' follows him. 'Knuckles' looks back and sees Gimacian is gone. "I should've killed him when I had the chance."

(Dragon Egg act 1)

'Sonic' and 'Knuckles' get to the desert only to find nothing is there.

Sonic says, "Are you serious? Gimacian tricked us!"

"Are you really surprised?"

"Um, who said that?"

Knuckles and Sonic turn around to see a dragon was the one talking.

"Okay, maybe he DIDN'T trick us. Uh, did you happen to kidnap a small animal?"

"'Sonic', for crying out loud, if THAT dragon was under Gimacian's control, wouldn't it be trying to kill us?!"

"...Yes?"

The dragon says, "No, I am not under anybody's control. But I'm afraid that my fellow friends are not as lucky. Gimacian is forcing them to power the mines he's using to make his city... Who knows what he'll do with something like that."

"Will you help us?"

"I will tell you where your friend is held. He is being held at a nesting ground. The dragons under Gimacian's control would most likely be keeping him near the heart of the nest. If you don't get there soon enough, he may be killed!"

"GAH!"

'Sonic' runs off again. 'Knuckles' follows.

(Dragon Egg act 2)

This next boss is the dragon leader. However, unlike other bosses, the boss is not a beast conjured by Gimacian. It is under the control of Gimacian. He will not be destroyed, only stunned. 'Tails' is found in a cage, and 'Knuckles' frees him. the dragon wakes back up, freed from Gimacian's control, and goes on a rampage. His tantrum made the ground below the three break up, and they nearly fell into an endless pit, but 'Knuckles' glided to safety, and 'Tails' flown 'Sonic' to safety.

'Tails' says, "Thanks for freeing me from those dragons! If I was there for another minute, I would've become lunch!"

'Sonic' says, "I'm just glad you're alright, buddy."

'Knuckles' says, "Why was it SO IMPORTANT to rescue him? I would rather have killed Gimician than rescue him!"

'Sonic' says, "Ugh. You don't understand. We were practically brothers. 'Tails' and I were once walking around in the woods together, talking about how much had been disappearing, when one of those shadow creatures attacked us. 'Tails' was on the verge of being killed there as well..."

'Tails' then says, "But he saved my life. I couldn't help but just want to be friends with him."

"'Tails' has saved my life many times before as well. As a matter of fact, he just did a second ago, so thanks, buddy!"

"No problem! So now... where are we?"

They look around to see ruins. It was a strangely lit place, due to a bunch of cystals, and the location had an eerie feel to it.

"I don't know, but we should probably explore this place. Maybe we'll find out what Gimacian's after."

'Tails' then says, "I know what he's after. He's after... the [b][i]Dimensional Emerald[/i][/b]."

EDIT 2: Here comes the next part.

'Sonic' says, "Well, what's that?"

'Tails' gets ready to talk, but is cut off by another voice.

"It is--"

"Not for you miserable pests to know."

'Sonic' says "Gimacian! You'll regret us finding you this time! I'll never forgive you for what you put 'Tails' through!"

Gimacian then says, "You fools, you can't even touch me. Take this!"

The ground below the three collapsed, and they all get knocked out by a hard impact.

"That'll keep them busy for a while, but just in case..."

Gimacian causes a rockslide to happen between 'Sonic' and 'Tails', and 'Knuckles'.

"They'll be wandering down there for all eternity! HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Gimacian takes off to parts unknown.

Later...

'Sonic' wakes up to find that 'Knuckles' isn't there.

"Ugh, man, just when I find 'Tails', then I lose that knucklehead*..." (*This will be changed, but I couldn't resist giving Sonic that line at least once in this story)

"'Sonic', where are we?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling it's gonna be a LONG climb, buddy..."

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish 'Knuckles' was here..."

"Why? Don't you trust him?"

"Yeah, trust a guy who would leave you as dragon food... hmm, I wonder..."

"Ugh... that's true..."

"'Sonic', I need to tell you something that 'Knuckles' shouldn't hear about... I want to tell you about the dimensional rings."

"The dimensional rings?"

"That's right. These ruins were people who were devoted to the power of the 8 dimensional rings. Look, there's these murals all over the place."

'Tails' points to a mural showing 8 rings; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and black.

"These rings are rumored to unlock the secrets of the Dimensional Gate... once it is open, it is possible to access even the most distant of worlds."

"Yes. So, Gimacian wants to expand his rule over EVERY world?"

"Correct, but not in the way that you think. He wants to unleash ALL of his forces of darkness on the Earth. He is a master of dark beings. If he had access to the Dimensional Gate, he'd be unstoppable!"

"But I thought that the gate was just a spiritual place?"

"The dimensional gate goes beyond space and time... even into spirituality. We call spirituality anything outside of time and space!"

"That sounds like an awful lot of power! Gimacian can't be allowed to do this!"

'Knuckles' groans. He's awake on the other side of the rocks.

"Ugh.... what are you two talking about in there?"

"We're talking about how to get out of here," Tails lied.

"Well, I have a solution."

'Knuckles' breaks down the rubble seperating them.

"We get out of here, and destroy everything in our path!"

'Sonic' and 'Knuckles' dash ahead, and 'Tails' groans and lags behind a bit before catching up. The level then starts.

(Crystal Temple act 1, 2 and boss)

The boss will be another underwater octopus (But much more powerful, and a far different look), and only 'Tails' can fight it due to the fact that the boss room is too far across a spiked 'tube' for Knuckles to fly, and 'Sonic' must go through a DNA door at the end in order to open a door blocking 'Tails' progress (This will overcome the 'partner flying with you situation. I also would put the door on a crevice that Knuckles couldn't climb onto, like an extra ledge on both sides. Doing only this may seem simpler, but why not make the area before a boss a bit interesting?

This 'improved' octopus has the laser firing capabilities of the second boss, but it now also has control of water currents. The player may find himself being swept away. It also could have a grab attack that would drain the rings out of a player until he escaped by struggling. It would be the first truly hard boss. (If Dragon Egg's boss wasn't tough enough.)

After the hard fight, 'Tails' appeared to be injured.

'Sonic' says, "Tails, what's wrong?"

'Tails' says, "My... ankle... I must have sprained it while running in those currents..."

'Knuckles' says, "Walk it off... rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine, everything's good!"

'Tails' says, "SHUT UP! It's bad enough I'm stuck with you! I wish 'Sonic' would just leave you behind!"

'Knuckles' says, "I wish 'Sonic' would've left you behind earlier!"

'Sonic' then says, "I'm leaving you BOTH behind."

'Tails' and 'Knuckles' give a simultaneous "WHAT?!"

'Sonic' says, "We can't be an efficient team if you two keep arguing. It would be better to split up now anyways. These caves are complex, so you two will need to work together in order to find out what Gimacian is doing down here. I will go up into the area above here... and distract Gimacian so you two can find out what we wants without interruption. Got it?"

'Tails' says, "Wait, here are some communicators... i found them among some of he dragon's... victims."

'Sonic' says, "Okay then, this'll make things a bit easier. Now, let's split up."

'Tails' and 'Knuckles' grunt, and then say together, "FINE."

'Sonic' says, "Be careful, you guys. You never can't tell what Gimacian the DORK is gonna pull on us next."

'Sonic' leaves.

'Knuckles' amd 'Tails' look at eachother.

'Knuckles' then says, "Alright. I guess we should rest first and let your ankle get better..."

'Tails' says, "Yeah, like you care."

'Knuckles' sighs. "Alright... I'm sorry. It wasn't personal... it's just that Gimacian must be stopped at all costs. He'll enslave everything as we know it... putting everyone in places like that dragon nest."

'Tails' sighs as well. "I suppose that's true... I guess I didn't trust you since you were going to kill me as a result of stopping Gimacian."

'Knuckles' says, "To be honest, I didn't think that you even existed. Gimacian is usually a liar. That's a bit why I was willing to kill him. I was disappointed because you looked weak, and not worth the time to take that I could be stopping Gimacian."

'Tails' thinks a minute. "Yeah, That's how Gimacian trapped me in the first place. He actually told me that 'SONIC' was being held here, but, I wasn't a match for those dragons. One of them knocked me out, and I woke up to find myself in one of their cages."

'Knuckles' said, "Yeah... I guess he thought the dragons would overwhelm us. In a way, they kind of did. Here, I think I have something that'll help your sprain btw. i found it while we were in the Dragons nest."

'Knuckles' holds out a dropper.

'Tails' said, "What is it?"

'Knuckles' said, "I have no clue, honestly. But I got sprain on my wrist from punching down a wall, I tried this stuff, and it healed perfectly."

'Tails' said, "That's a Dragon Tear! Those are rare! Legend has it that those come from a spring in the Dimensional Gate."

'Knuckles' said, "So that place we were in..."

'Tails' said, "The dimensional gate WAS there!"

'Knuckles' uses the drops on 'Tails', and 'Tails' foot is healed.

'Tails' says, "AH, that is much better."

'Tails' jumps up.

"Let me walk around on it a bit and-- WHOA."

'Tails' walks into a passageway and stops.

'Knuckles' gets up and says, "What's wrong?"

"You gotta see this."

Knuckles walks over there to see a massive red-lit mine. There's molten metal everywhere.

Tails points to the far left to a giant ship.

"What's that?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good for us."

"Let's go to it! Maybe we can figure out what that crazy wizard is doing!"

"Hold on, let's contact Sonic!"

"Okay."

Tails pulls out his communicator, but it would not work. Apparantly, They were now out of range...

"Man, Sonic's fast. Looks like this is up to us!"

(Magma Mine act 1)

Earlier...

'Sonic' is going up this cave, preparing for the worst, and he sees a strange lid. He hits it and he comes out into another area.

"...What the?!"

The area is bursting with color. A lot of 'boings' and 'spring' sound effects can be heard. Sonic is now in Spring Forge act 1 (This is going to replace Clock Tech. Celdecea and I agree that this takes some fun out of the game. Plus, it explains where the springs come from... and the spikes!

"So, this is where all these strange trampolines and traps come from... I'd better find Gimacian here before it's too late!"

(Spring Forge act 1)

Back in the mines...

Tails and Knuckles were going to see what the massive ship is, when Knuckles stops and notices that some of Gimacian's goons were mining for metal. Apparantly, they had found some solid gold rocks. Knuckles was stunned at their appearance.

Tails then says,"Knuckles, come on! We have to HURRIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!"

Tails was cut off at hurry since the ground collapsed below him. He had caught onto a ledge, but now he saw that there was only dangerous magma below him.

"Knuckles! HELP!"

Knuckles started towards Tails, but then he saw that Gimacian's creatures were taking the gold away. it's now or never.

Knuckles gets over his greed and rescues Tails just as the ledge gives way. His hand is now holding one of Tails' tail.

"Knuckles! Th-thanks... and OUCH!"

"Yeah, yeah. Sorry."

Knuckles notices that the creatures and the gold are now gone.

Knuckles sighs.

Tails then says, "Knuckles! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!"

Knuckles gets grabbed by one of the creatures, who had apparantly been sneaking up behind him. Knuckles struggles, but can't escape. Tails panics, and manages to hit the beast just before it succeeded in taking him away.

"Okay... thank you for that. I was almost toast there!" Knuckles said.

"Yeah, but I should be thanking you more. I was almost LITERALLY toast."

"Haha, yeah. Come on, we need to keep going."

"Right behind you!"

(Magma Mine act 2)

Knuckles and Tails reach the ship only to find it heavily guarded by a giant beast. This is a much larger version of the first boss, and is covered in spikes, protecting against any direct damage by characters. A pulley system was bringing large amounts of crystals to the ship to be built into it.

"Tails, I have an idea. One of us should go and fight the boss, and one of us must get into the ship."

"Okay!"

(Both characters can fight this boss. It is in a pit of sorts. The strategy is that the character must get high enough (By climbing, flying, etc.) to hit one of the crystal carrying boxes. If it is timed right, the box will fall down and hit the boss for damage. The boss attacks by slamming the ground and jumping onto the characters. He is too large to jump over, he must be flown over by Tails or Knuckles must climb up a wall and glide over him.)

Back at Spring Forge, after the boss is beaten.

Sonic hears his communicator beeping by the character who DIDN'T fight the boss.

"Sonic! Check out this!"

"A ship? But what is it for?"

"We don't know yet. Do you want us to explore it?"

"Yes, but don't press any buttons! I don't want that thing to fire a laser through one of you, or something!"

"Okay. I'll tell (the character fighting the boss) when he gets here."

"Good, I'll keep exploring up here..."

(Spring Forge act 2)

"Okay... it looks like Gimacian doesn't know I'm here."

"OH REALLY?!" A voice blurts out.

"GAH! GIMACIAN!"

"Hello Sonic. I trust you find this factory quite amusing?"

"Er... yes, actually. Whatever. This place is a front! I know what you're building underground!"

"Ah... my beautiful Sky Fortress... she'll be in the air before we know it, eh? HAHAHAHA!!!"

"You're insane!"

"Perhaps. Perhaps not. Insane or sane, you shall regret ever crossing the path of Gimacian the Dark!"

(vs. Gimacian 2 boss fight)

(Gimacian uses Black Void much more often, along with summoning lots of enemies. Basically, a much harder version of Gimacian due to more creatures and attacks.)

Coming soon: THE SKY FORTRESS.
