"Let's get a move on, Tails!"
Sonic was in a hurry. …Though that was nothing new.
It was because he heard that a seven-colored shooting star had fallen over the mountains of the verdant land of Green Hill.
Tails, who had been taken outside no questions asked, was in a panic.
"Whoa! Wait a minute, Sonic!"
Sonic ran at an unbelievable speed through the rhythmic ups and downs of the green hills and loops of the high mountain roads.
Tails chases after Sonic with his two propeller-driven tails in tail-flight. He jumps over cliffs, crosses rivers, and takes shortcuts to keep up…
The blue and yellow lines ran across the green hills back-and-forth.
…After a while, they arrive at the forest where the shooting star fell, but there is no sign of a crater. Tails pulls out some kind of machine and starts walking around, holding it up.
"It's an energy detector. If my guess is correct, it must be…"
Soon after, an alarm sounded with a beep. There's something that looks like a stone at Tails's feet.
"Is this… it's a Chaos Emerald, Sonic! It looks grayish, though."
"What?! How did it end up here again?!"
The Chaos Emeralds. They are seven secret stones that have great power and can create miracles in response to one's wishes.
When all seven are gathered together, they have tremendous power, but when they are all used up, the Chaos Emeralds scatter and fly away to other parts of the world. The Chaos Emeralds that have fallen into such secluded places slowly accumulate their power in the midst of nature.
Just the other day, Sonic and his friends had used the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds to defeat the ambitions of the evil genius scientist Dr. Eggman.
"This is one of them. When it fell, it must have reflected the sun's rays, coloring it in seven different colors."
Tails was a little embarrassed after his explanation, but Sonic looked at him with confidence.
"Great! I get it now, I almost missed it. I'm glad I took you with me!"
"I-It's nothing that special… eheheh."
The two were talking with smiles on their faces when they heard another loud beeping sound coming from Tails's hand. It's that detector. Sonic quickly takes a peek.
"Did it find something again?! …It's that way, isn't it? Let's go, Tails!"
"Th-This is just an energy detector. It may not be a Chaos Emerald…"
Without another word, Sonic grabbed Tails's hand and started running.
