Chapter 1: Green Green Hills of Home
Act 1: Discovery
Between Robotnik's expanding empire and the great Mindor Forest, there rests lush, green hills almost as far as the eye can see. As a group of Freedom Fighters hide behind a hill, one of them stares at the empire with his binoculars.
Fang the Sniper: 56
Fang: Route's clear. Others did their job well, it seems. I'll keep it clear from here.
Fang picks up his sniper rifle and aims it at the empire.
Fang: Sally-girl, you can lead 'em in.
Sally Acorn: 13
Sally: (Get in. Get the tech. Get out) Roger!
Sally leads her small group over the hill.
Sonic the Hedgehog: 12
Sonic: Ya mind if we move a little faster, babe? I'm ready to smash some steel!
Sally: I'm not your “Babe,” Sonic. And, there won't be any smashing. The others already handled-
Sonic: All of the bots along the path. 'Less they got all the bots in the city, I'm gonna get something to smash with!
Sally: Fine! Find a weapon, but don't use it.
Sonic: Good by me... *Yawn* You know what? I'm gonna go on ahead. Make sure the bots are really dead.
Sally: Sonic, no.
He runs past her.
Sally: Sonic!
Miles “Tails” Prower: 9
Tails: I'll catch up to him!
Tails runs after Sonic.
Sally: Tails! Ugh! Can Anybody Take This Mission Seriously?!
Bunnie “Rabbot” Nicholson: 12
Bun: I'm with ya, sugar. But, these two gotta make their own mistakes now.
Sally: I was never This brash.
Bun: Y'all keep telling yourself that.
Tails barely keeps up with Sonic.

Tails: Hey! Slow down!
Sonic starts running backwards.
Sonic: See Ya Later, Tails!
While running backwards, Sonic trips on a bunker door that's in the ground and he falls on his back.
Sonic: Ah, Geez!
Tails runs up to him and helps him up.
Tails: You okay, Sonic?
Sonic: Just a little slip. What tripped me anyhow?
Tails: Looks like a weird door. What if Robotnik has a secret robot in there?
Sonic: Then, let's see what 'Buttnik's up to.
Sonic opens the door upward and starts climbing down a ladder.
Tails: But! What if it's dangerous?!
Sonic: Then, you'd better come save me!
Tails: A-Alright.
Tails descends down the ladder with Sonic. The two find themselves in some sort of abandoned control room that still has its lights on.
Sonic: What the heck is this?
Tails: Um... I dunno.
Sonic: There anything you Do know?
Tails: I haven't seen this stuff before.
Sonic: Yup! Doesn't look like robo-tech to me. Where do you think that door goes?
A shutter door rests at the back of the room with a button next to it.
Tails: To a big robot.
Sonic: Yeah! Let's open it!
Tails: O-Okay.
Sonic pushes the button, opening the door. Behind it, there's a room that has the green Chaos Emerald resting in a pedestal in the center.
Tails: Ooo. Cool.
Sonic: Way Past Cool! Let's take that thing back to the others. It can be the jewel on my wedding ring for Sally.
Tails: I don't think it'd fit too well.
Sonic: That's what we call a “Joke,” my extra-limbed fellow.
Tails: Oh.
Sonic grabs the Chaos Emerald and it shocks him onto his back.
Tails: Sonic!
Tails grabs Sonic.
Sonic: H-Holy Christmas lights, tail-man.
Sonic passes out.
Tails: But, I don't understand. How did...
Tails carefully touches the Emerald and gets shocked too.
Tails: AAAH!!!
He passes out as the other Freedom Fighters step down the ladder. Sally and Bunnie walk into the Emerald's chamber.
Sally: My gosh. That's a Chaos Emerald.
Bun: Watch it, sugar. Looks like it shocked 'em real good. Allow me.
Bunnie picks up the Emerald with her robotic arm as Sally takes out a communicator.
Sally: This is princess Sally Acorn. I'm calling off the mission. We won't be needing that tech anymore. We have something far better now.
