Chapter 1

Zipping through the streets in the capital city of Planet Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog raced towards a month's supply of chilidogs.

He finished the race before Doctor Robotnik's latest version of 'Metal Sonic'.

"This is the last time you humiliate me, Hedgehog!"

"Woohoo! Now, that was fast! Don't you think, Tails ole buddy?"

"Ignore me if you please, Hedgehog, but I will not be DEFEATED!"

"Relax, crabby! You're really starting to hurt my appetite with those bad vibes," said Sonic, gulping down a monstrous amount of chilidogs.

"There goes the business. He ate more than the promo!" complained the Chilidog Shack keeper.

"Beat it, Buttnik," said Sonic.

"Yeah, leave my friend alone!" said Tails, the two tailed fox.

The Metal Sonic was just now crossing the finish line. After a second, the entire machine collapsed into a hundred pieces!

"Look at what you did!" shouted Robotnik.

"Looks like it failed the field test, eh you red bearded crab. Now, would you leave me and my chilidog heaven alone?"

"There's not much heaven for my pocket today," complained the Shack keeper.

"Ooo!" fumed Robotnik.

"Snively!" he shouted.

"Uh, yes, your geniusness?" answered the tiny minion of the evil Doctor Robotnik.

"Sweep up what's left of this failure and meet me back at headquarters, immediately!"

"Yes, your worshipfulness!"

Robotnik smelled the fresh air.

"Do you smell that, Snively?" he asked.

"What is it, sir? Did I...do something?"

"No, you idiot! I'm talking about the fresh air, the sunshine, the spring-summery feel around us!"

"In that case, no sir. I have had a cold."

"Humpf!" grunted Robotnik.

"But wait, sir. I do see what you mean. After all, it is a beautiful day."

"Mobius is still within my grasp. I failed to destroy Sonic in this pathetic contest. What happened? My invention failed! None of the traps were fast enough to quell that blue minded twit! No! But the day is still young. I can come up with something new in no time. What do you think, Snively?"

"Of course, sir. I believe in you."

"Then, stop wasting time!"

Robotnik got into a flying vehicle and raced towards his laboratory.

"Gee, that's sad," said Tails.

"Yeah, it sure is! All that verbal abuse takes a toll on the spirit," admitted Sonic.

"Snively, are you....okay?" asked Tails.

"I'm, I'm....I'm miserable!" cried Snively.

"You should quit working for that Bullynik," said Sonic.

"What would I do? I mean, a man with my experiences?" asked Snively.

"Sheesh. That's a good point!" said Sonic.

"I have an idea!"

"What's that, Tails?"
