he Story of Sonic

               Cyclone "Sonic" Maurice Hedgehog grew up in the Green Hill Zone
on the planet Mobius. (I'm not sure if Cyclone is Sonic's real name but I
think it is and I know that it's not Sonic.) Johnny Lightfoot, a rabbit,
showed Sonic how to outrun every creature in the forest, while Sally Acorn, a
hedgehog-squirrel, taught Sonic how to jump incredible distances. Sally is now
Sonic's best friend besides Miles "Tails" Prower. A bluebird Flicky,
influenced Sonic with his happy fearless approach to life: Joe Sushi, a walrus
instructed Sonic on how to dive and swim, while a penguin, Tux, taught Sonic
how to breathe underwater.  Perhaps the most important lesson of all was from
Chirps, a chicken, who inadvertently helped Sonic develop the Super Sonic Spin
Attack. You see, as Chirps was learning to fly, he tumbled head over heels out
of his nest. Sonic teased Chirps by imitating him as he tumbled. Soon Sonic
had gathered so much speed from imitating Chirps' tumble that he became a blur
of quills and fur.
               Sonic did not realize that he had tumbled into the laboratory
of Dr. Ovi Kintobor, a brilliant scientest. Kintobor told Sonic that he was
trying to save Mobius from evil by getting rid of it. Sonic listened as
Kintobor explained how he planned to do this using his invention, the "Retro-
Ortital Chaos Compressor" (or "ROCC" for short). 
The ROCC can attract and transfer evil from one object into another.
Technically speaking, the ROCC consists of thousands of gold rings that
constantly flow good karma around the machine's core as it transfers evil from
one object into another. Dr. Kintobor found the perfect objects for the
transfer: six dazzling emeralds, which he called "Chaos Emeralds." Kintobor
managed to pack most of the world's evil into the Emeralds, but found that
once the Emeralds became evil, they were highly unstable and could "blow" at
any moment. To make the Chaos Emeralds safe, Kintobor 
began to search for a seventh Gray Emerald. Kintobor installed personal
computers throughout the zones of Mobius so that anyone passing by could input
information that might lead to the discovery of the Gray Emerald. He also had
his ROCC ready to transfer the last bit of the world's evil into the Gray
Emerald.
               Soon Kintobor and Sonic became good friends. Sonic's shoes
exploded, but Kintobor made him better shoes that could make him go faster.
Sonic was running so fast that his fur changed from brown to blue!
               One day, Dr. Kintobor asked Sonic to get him a snack. But after
Sonic got the snack, he accidently dropped it on the ROCC, which transported
some of the evil in the Chaos Emeralds over to Kintobor, turning him into the
evil Dr. Ivo Robotnik, a man who wants to control Mobius! Worst of all, the
rings scattered all over the place!
               "I shall control Mobius forever, you little walking
pincushion!" yelled Dr. Robotnik.
               "Oh yeah? and how are you going to do that?" replied Sonic, who
ran toward the Green Hill Zone to warn his friends of Robotnik.
