On your way running through Green Hill Zone, you stopped to take in your surroundings. You realized how beautiful Green Hill Zone was, but it still baffled you. The way the leaves blew in the wind, the waves hit the shore, and the history emanating from the fields amazed you.

Despite this, you still had a task to do, so you ran off in search of your destination. Eventually, you passed through a pathway out of Green Hill Zone into Chemical Plant Zone. The scenery quickly changed to one of industrial trepidation. You could smell the chemicals, and your eyes did little to ease your unease.

Still, you came here for a specific reason: to take a specific vial of an experimental chemical possessed only by this zone. So, you continued running. Eventually, you reached your destination, a small edge dropping off into what appeared to be acidic liquid below, replacing the vast ocean you saw in Green Hill Zone. You walked to the edge, preparing to harvest some of this liquid, but you were interrupted by an involuntary cough.

You quickly looked to see who had made the noise and saw someone leaning against a pillar nearby, hardly hiding. You just hadn't noticed her upon arrival. After a moment, you recognized her as Whisper the Wolf, the Guardian Angel of the Battlefield. She hadn't noticed you yet; her eyes were closed, as if she were lost in thought.

This gave you an important choice: interact with this living legend you had only ever heard about, or grab the chemicals and leave.
