Ash: Yep, and it's- *pulls out an emerald shard* a green emerald shard! *holds it up proudly*

Ash: *the fake emerald shard explodes in Ash's face* Knuckles: *pops his head out of a hole* Gotcha, Sonic!

Knuckles: *points at Simone* Hey Tails!? Why are you dressed like a girl?

Knuckles: *squints at them* Sonic and Tails, you're in costumes.

Knuckles: Is that your long lost brother from the moon? *laughs out loud*

Knuckles: Heh. Take those silly costumes off, please.

Knuckles: I only believe it now because Tails would never be that sassy.

Knuckles: *fully comes out of the hole* You wanna fight, missy? I'll give you a fight! Ash: *glares at Knuckles so much that his eyes ignite*

Knuckles: *with one hit he knocks Simone into the wall* *evilly laughs*

Ash: *turns into a smoky black form with all white eyes* Dark Ash: *chokes Knuckles while punching his face*

Dark Ash: *briefly fights with Knuckles until Knuckles is knocked out and bruised* S-Simone? *touches her arm*

Ash: I taught him a lesson. Let's stop our digging for now. *picks up Simone and takes the shortcut to his cave*

Ash: *puts her in his bed* You need rest. Goodnight, Simone.

Ash: *watches the TV* Spongebob is on! *watches new episodes with Torch*

(Okay, see you tomorrow)

(Are you ready to start? If you're not, just take your time, I can wait.)

Ash: *goes back to the place where he started to dig* Time to dig. I hope Knuckles isn't around here. *starts to dig*

Ash: *finds glowing emerald ore in a gloomy, misty cave* Woah...

Ash: *tries to excavate the emerald bits, but to no avail* These normally come off easily. *tries some more*

Ash: *finally pulls a red shard out of the wall* Yesss... *leaves the cavern, and rides a minecart home*

Ash: Now I finally have a use for that gold chunk! *starts making something with a red emerald shard, a chunk of gold, a diamond, and a green emerald shard*

Ash: *tiptoes into the room and pulls something from under the pillow* *suddenly freezes when he saw Simone's ear twitch*

Ash: *tiptoes out of the room and into the basement, which is a huge lava pool, and finishes what he was doing before*

Ash: *throws a strange object into the air, and it generates a giant portal ring, like in the games, but with a swirly blue portal in the middle*

Ash: *doesn't hear Simone* Here goes nothing! *jumps in the portal and teleports in the bedroom, and lands on his face* Success!

Ash: N-nothing, really! *holds 2 objects behind his back* Y-you can g-go back t-to sleep!

Ash: Heh, look, there's a scorpion! *points at the ground to distract her, then zooms away* That was close...

Ash: *tweaks the objects, then throws one in the air again* Second try! *jumps in again, and teleports upside-down on the ceiling*

Ash: *tweaks the objects once more, and teleports on the other side of the room* Yes, it works now. *wraps it in wrapping paper*

Ash: Alright, but remember to take the secret passage out! Torch: *waves goodbye*

Ash: Heh heh, that was close. *takes the objects into a small rocket, and blast's off* Eggman's Secret Base, here I come!

Ash: *walking through Eggman's Sky Base* Eggman: *turns around from his computer* Oooh, a present! I "wonder" what it is! *opens it* HO HO HO!

Eggman: Portal Rings, excellent! *pats Ash's head* Now here is the gift I promised you... *gives him $250* Nice job keeping it from that girl. She would never fall for a bad boy.

Eggman: At this rate, you'll have your own Eggman suit! Ash: Alright, see ya later, boss. I'm still on the big project, if you know what I mean. *goes back home*

Ash: *goes in a secret vault with high-tech gadgets* Hmm... Step 1- Get Portal Rings. Step 2- Steal Emeralds. Step 3- Help Eggman Take Over Mobius. Step 4- Betray Eggman and Become King.

Ash: And Simone... *chuckles* Simone will help me... *draws a dramatic line from a stickman-hedgehog to a crown, over Mobius*

Ash: First, we must destroy Sonic. Torch, get the bombs ready. We're blowing up the plane. *walks out of his cave with Torch*

Ash: *revvs up his aerocycle and flies at Angel Island*

Ash: *skips Angel Island, and flies to Lost World* Deadly Six... they'll know what to do...

Eggman: *in his Eggmobile* Gimme that, Fox! *grabs the yellow emerald with a red claw*

Metal Sonic: *from nowhere, he brutally punches Simone's head* Nobody. Disrespects. Master Eggman. *kicks her shin, and slaps her face*

Eggman: *throws a death-dart in Simone's arm* Death to all who oppose me! She'll be dead in an hour. Metal Sonic: *jerks the emerald away* Useless. File. Form.

(See you tomorrow) Ash: I feel like someone I love is in trouble? Torch: *waves tentacle in a "Don't worry" manner*

Ash: *lands the aerocycle on Mobius* I have this strange feeling...

Eggman: The dart only put a small amount in her bloodstream. We need to manually inject it. Metal Sonic: *about to press on the dart*

Metal Sonic: *hands turn into 50 bullets/second machine guns, and he shoots her 50 times*

Ash: *sees Simone* Oh, she's not in trouble. Eggman: *makes hand signals to Ash* Ash: *points to his aerocycle and makes hand signals, too, and runs away*

Metal Sonic: *collects the yellow emerald and flies away with Eggman* Ash: *flies toward Lost Hex*

Ash: *lands on Lost Hex* Now where could they be- Zazz: RAWR! Hey Ash, when'ya gonna take us off this planet?! Ash: Where's Master Zik?

Ash: I need Sonic gone. Zeena: You're not working for that bald freak, are you? Ash: What if I am? I can get you outta here in no time.
