The sunβs rays pierce through the thick leaves of Jungle Islandβs trees, the ground usually submerged in their shade spotty with patches of warmth. Branches dance in the cool breeze, gently swaying, shadows shifting back and forth. It was calming. Blissful, even. One might think itβs the perfect place to nap, back resting against one of those towering trees. A certain fleet-footed hedgehog thought so, too.
Sonic the Hedgehogβthe fastest thing aliveβhad decided to explore the world again on one of his many whims. After all, with Eggman quiet and his friends busy, there was no better time! Heβd already journeyed to many different regions in search of adventure, and Jungle Island had been his next stop. Heβd hoped to relax, to indulge in nature, maybe eat a banana or two. Unfortunately for him, things wouldnβt stay that way.
Whirrβ¦
Ears twitch. The sound was faint. He couldnβt pinpoint what it wasβ¦ but it sounded like a vacuum. And the cool breeze heβd been enjoyingβit had shifted directions, not just horizontally, but vertically, too! Something wasnβt right. Opening an eyelid, he looks to the sky, only to be greeted by an unusual sight. Bunches of bananas fill the air, flying toward a giant red blimp! A voice belts over the intercom, declaring its evil intentions loud enough for the entire island to hear; apparently, this hadnβt been the first time this had happened.
βYou may have bested me last time, but now you wonβt be so lucky! ALL your bananas are MINE to keepβthey belong to the great Dr. BAD-BOON!β
It was at that point heβd heard enough. Rising to his feet to do a few warm-up stretches, he notices that the wind has gone still. No more bananas littered the sky, and the bothersome blimp was making for the horizon. Although heβd come here to relax, he couldnβt help but crack a smile. βSheesh, talk about a rude awakening. If it's not one evil genius,Β it's another, huh? Oh well, this should be fun!β
>> This is unrelated to that little story I was workin' on! I've postponed that for a while so I can work on something different, so I wanted to send something else out to you that'd get us writing together. Hope this is alright!
