Introduction

Far from any nearby settlement, was Firon the Hedgehog. He had come to his favorite spot at the Great River, with its water moving pacefully and peacefully through the wide bank of the river. He sat on a boulder, with his fishing pole being held by a small rock, the fishing line waiting in the water like a dark predator. After hours of waiting for a fish to snap, he began dozing off and falling asleep. Soon he gave up and fell to the hard, cold surface of the boulder, his eyes closing.

As Firon went into dreamland, a giant metallic fish began swimming nearby. Its red side-eyes staring at its target: which was Firon. A small tube-shaped laser rifle moved slowly out of the metal fish's mouth, aiming at the sleeping hedgehog. As soon as it locked onto to its target, it fired the laser rifle, with a bright red stream of light zooming towards Firon.

As everything seemed to move in slow motion, Firon's eyes popped opened, as he saw the laser fired by the metal fish. He quickly jumped up into the air, removing his fishing pole from its rock. Soon, the metal fish began firing random shots into the air, hoping one of them would land on the gray hedgehog. Firon flicked his fishing pole at the metal fish, his fishing line's hook landing inside the metal fish's mouth.

"Looks like I caught a big one!" Firon exclaimed as his catch began swimming toward him at very lethal speed. Instead of crashing into the hedgehog, the metal fish swam past him and pulled with all its might, making Firon touch the water's surface and water ski along it.

"Whoa! Slow down! I ain't good at water skiing!" Firon said worryingly, but to no avail as the metal fish tried once again to ram into the defenseless hedgehog. However, because Firon was water skiing behind it, it only turned him around until he was completely behind it again.

"It's time to end this game...Firon Flamethrower!" Firon pointed his right hand at the metal creation, his left one holding the fishing pole. Soon a bright red-orange flame of light struck out of his palm and into the metal fish's back. As Firon contiuned his assault, his attack began to burn its way through the metal fish's thick metal body, until it finally reached its core.

Firon ceased his assault and, with all his strength, swung the metal fish onto a tree branch. He turned his fishing pole into a rope as he swung onto the shoreline of the river. He loosened his grip on his fishing pole as the metal fish exploded. Firon quickly ran behind cover as metal pieces crashed into the ground, sharp edges cutting them deeper into the soft soil.

Firon walked away from his cover, and saw a bright green light flash, which nearly blinded him at first. His eyes got used to the bright light as he got closer to its source. He stared in disbelief as he saw a green chaos emerald lying on the ground with the metal fish's body parts spread around it. He slowly picked it up and exaimed it, grinning at this discovery.

"Better head back home...I gotta show this to Uncle Fists!" Firon replied as he hid the emerald in his mission pack, running at full speed towards the Freedom Fighter camp.
