Hey guys, JustAnotherFan15 here again. So this will be the prolog of Crossing Through Space: Knights' Book the first in a three or maybe four part series, depending how it goes. Which involves my own OCs.
I have their profiles up on my own. So this story takes about a month after my other story, Fighting the Past: Tails' Secret Life. So anyway, here's the prolog!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my OCs and the plot. Thank you.
Prolog: Sky Battle
It was getting dark. The late afternoon sun was setting on the planet of Psymoria, and clouds were rolling in from the East, threatening to unload their cargo of rain onto the Mythic Forest villagers. Or, better known as the Freedom Keepers since they fought with Professor Sycowitz, the evil tyrant who took over their planet.
The Freedom Keepers lived secretly in the Mythic Forest, one of the only places left that hadn't been destroyed in the war. The war that had destroyed of over half of the planet.
At that moment though, standing, or rather, sitting, on a hill while watching the setting sun, was a hedgehog.
This particular hedgehog was light purple in color, the tips of her bangs, tail, quills, and elongated ears a darker purple. She had warm golden eyes and an easy smile, her red tank was cut in half so it ended at her stomach. Her light blue bell-bottom jeans had pink swirl designs on the sides, her fingerless gloves were also pink, while her shoes the same red as her tank. Upon her wrists were two blue bracelets, one for each wrist, with the same pink design as her bell-bottom jeans.
"Knights! Knights where are you?" a young voice called out from above the hedgehog's head. She smiled, most of the natives to Psymoria thought she was crazy, smiling all the time when there was a war being fought around them. Even more so since she was a trained Fighter in the war.
But every time she heard that young voice, she smiled. Because that voice belonged to her little sister, Aurora "Flyer" Sky the Fox.
"Down here Flyer," Knights called up, her gold eyes still on the setting sun's rays as they lit up the sky.
The twin tailed young vixen landed beside her, looking just as she always did. Orange with lighter tipped hair and tails; shining silver eyes; sky blue shirt covered in old and new oil stains; yellow tool belt; blue jeans; with blue shoes and gloves.
"There you are!" the kit said, a large smile forming on her muzzle. Knights looked at her sister, her own smile turning soft with clear affection.
"Here I am," she replied. "Is there something you need kid?" Knights asked. Flyer frowned for a moment, as if she didn't like the question.
"Knights I'm not a kid I'm a kit. Kids are baby goats and young humans, kits are one of the three names for foxes as well as one of the two for baby cats. Kits or kittens are for cats. I can be called a kit, pup, or cub. I am, by no means, a kid," the kid (kit) explained to her older sister.
Most people would zone out while Flyer rambled on about science or whatever she talked about. Not Knights, she found it cute when the young vixen went on about the science behind a name for something, like a kit.
Knights smiled gently, her eyes glowing with humor. "Right, my mistake. Sorry… kid," Knights laughed as Flyer blew out her cheeks, but the young kit was clearly just as amused. "So what did you want?" she asked again as she got to her feet.
"Wolfrick wants us to fly over Professor Psycho's base and check out the defenses. Rumor has it that he's, as in Wolfrick, planning on mounting a full-on assault on the place," Flyer explained, looking over her shoulder as she spoke, as if she thought someone was listening.
"Full-on assault? Is he nuts? He does that, and I grantee you we'll lose. Most of our men at the very least," Knights protested, clearly not liking the idea.
"Look, I know you don't like head-to-head fighting, at least not like this, but if that's what the boss wants…"
"Ugh. Fine, get Knekelda and I'll meet you at your workshop," Knights told the kit, sighing deeply as Flyer flew off, using her twin tails as propellers. What was Wolfrick thinking?
Flyer twisted the wrench one last time.
Perfect! Now the Twister will be even faster! she thought, wiping her oily hands on her shirt.
"You know, that's how your clothes get so dirty."
The kit smiled. "Perhaps I prefer my clothes covered in oil. Knekelda." Flyer replied, turning to face the red echidna.
Knekelda was a rough edged Fighter. She was pale red with dark blue eyes and black tipped quills, a natural born warrior. Her shirt and pants were green army camouflage with brown shoes and gloves. Her eyes, which normally had a scowl, shined with humor as she looked at the grungy kit.
"Hmm, perhaps. What were you doing to the Twister?" Knekelda asked. Flyer gave her friend an amused look.
"Knekelda, if I told you what I did, would you understand?" Flyer asked right back.
"Hmm, no. I don't believe I would. I don't speak mechanic," Knekelda held back a laugh as Flyer glared at her. She knew the young kit hated being called a mechanic.
"Keep that up and we won't take you Knekelda," Knights said from the entrance, where she leaned against the side of the large metal double doors, arms crossed in front of her chest. She grinned at the her two friends as they turned to face her.
"Knights, so glad you can join us!" Knekelda said sarcastically. "I was beginning to think you were turning chicken."
"Haha, very funny. You done with repairs kid?" Knights asked, turning to the fox. Flyer twitched an ear and smiled, giving Knights a thumbs up. "All set!" she replied cheerfully. The purple hedgehog's grin broadened as she did the same.
"Great, now we can go get ourselves killed in the skies of Psychotopolis!" Knekelda remarked, once again sarcastic.
Knights stood on the wings of her purple and blue biplane, the Twister. Behind her Flyer flew the plane in the pilot's seat, in the passenger's seat was Knekelda, looking over the Twister's tail at the storm brewing behind them.
"That storm'll be on us before this night's done," Knekelda warned, turning away from the glowering clouds.
"Hopefully we'll be done before it gets too rough," Flyer said, turning the plane left slightly so they headed towards Psychotopolis. The large black city loomed ahead on the near horizon.
Hopefully, Knights thought, glancing back to look at the clouds for herself. She wasn't as optimistic as Flyer was that those storm clouds were still plenty far off. Hopefully we're done before they get too bad. Like Flyer said.
Lasers shot into the sky at every turn.
"Stupid Professor Psycho!" Knekelda cursed, ducking under a stray laser beam. Below the city of Psychotopolis glowed with dangerous lasers shooting into the sky, while above, storm clouds flashed with lightning and rumbled with thunder.
"Its all your fault! You shouldn't have tossed that Coke can at him when he was walking across the runway!" Knights shouted back. She was laying flat on her stomach, clutching the Twister's wings tightly so the didn't fall off as Flyer maneuvered the biplane.
"Will you two stop fighting? We have to get out of- HOLY CHAOS!" Flyer screamed, turning the Twister sharply to the left as Professor Psycho shot a green plasma laser at them head-on.
"Die!" he screamed at them, sounding, well, crazy. Knights turned her head around as Flyer flew the plane away from Psychotopolis, chased by Professor Sycowitz, more commonly known as Professor Psycho (for obvious reasons- like being insane).
"Well, so much for not being seen…" Knights muttered to herself as they flew through the stormy sky, chased by a madman. With a laser.
"Die hedgehog!" Professor Psycho shrieked, firing a large plasma beam at the biplane. Flyer twisted the control stick, trying to dodge the plasma beam. Unfortunately they didn't make it. The left wings were hit, sending the plane leaning to the right, causing the Twister to spin out of control.
Behind/above them, Psycho laughed with crazed delight. Finally he could get rid of that blasted hedgehog and her team!
"Prepare to meet your end!" Psycho shouted, pressing buttons left and right. The front of his large torpedo-like plane opened, seven glowing lights shining in a circle.
Knights' eyes widened with pure shock and terror. How did Psycho get all seven Angel Diamonds? she thought as the diamonds powered up his weapon.
"Prepare to cease to exist!" Psycho told them, firing his weapon of pure power at the Team.
"No!" Knights shouted, struggling to her feet and thrusting out her hands. Her palms facing the power beam with the bottom of her wrists pressed together.
"No! Knights its too dangerous to control the Angel Diamonds' energy like this!" Flyer protested, fear for her sister's life flooding her.
"I have to try!" Knights shouted back, bending the Diamonds' will to her own.
That was when everything went to chaos.
The power beam struck them, engulfing the Team with a blend of multi colored lights. Time and Space warped and the biplane shot through a black pit.
Professor Sycowitz looked around. Had he really done it? Had he really defeated Knights and her Team?
"Yes!" he shouted, seeing no sight of the Team of Heroes. "Yes! I have finally defeated Knights the Hedgehog!"
The sky opened up. Twisting and turning in a single dark gray cloud that boiled with tension.
Below on the planet Mobius, the residents of Mystic Ruin and Station Square all looked up, shocked by the sky's sudden change.
The clamor that ensued grew as three large golden objects flew off in three different ways.
One towards the city.
One towards Mystic Ruin.
And one towards the Jungle.
Well? What'd ya think? Is it good, bad, so-so? Please review! Chapter one coming soon! Oh, and some info about Knights' look; her quills are arranged like Shadow's, and her bracelets look like his as well, just blue with pink swirl designs.
Well, next up is Chapter One: Jungle Escape.
So, until next time my friends!- JAF logging out!
