It was a beautiful day when the message was received. The skies were clear, the grass green, the breeze blowing gently through the town. Folk of all manner of species milled about the simple roads, going about their lives as they always did. This included a single purple hedgehog who lived a fairly secluded life on the edge of town. The hedgehog was resting on a worn red rooftop, letting the sunlight warm his fur, when a beeping sound interrupted him.
While the hedgehog chose to ignore the noise, any who watched their televisions would be met with a disturbing broadcast. The infamous Dr. Eggman sat in a large, nefarious looking metal chair, twisting his bushy mustache with a wicked grin on his face. "Greetings fellow Mobians! This is the great Dr. Eggman interrupting your afternoon tea to inform you of your coming demise." The man snapped his fingers, and with a flash viewers were shown a dark chamber. Seven metal columns shot into the air around a black pedestal, on top of which sat a massive green emerald. "Behold, the Master Emerald! Guarded for generations by a certain tribe of Echidnas, until recently that is." The man's chuckle sounded through the town as the screen shifted back to him. "With the Master Emerald, my new Eggman robots, and this..." He held up a light blue emerald for all to see, then lowered it. "I have all I need to destroy any town I choose." A short clip of a burning city played, complete with citizens running for their lives as large, menacing robots fired at them. "One down, six to go. If you are found to be harboring what I seek, my army will obliterate your home and all you hold dear!" Dr. Eggman threw his hand out dramatically, then clenched his fist as a sign of power. "To all the leaders of the world, if you wish to survive my wrath, throw your deeds at my feet, and declare your surrender to the might of the Eggman Empire! Wahahaha!" The man laughed for another moment, then the screen went black before broadcasting the program that had been on before.
