Hi! It's MikomiTheKitsune! So, I'm thinking…here comes Shadow, new character, mysterious past…so what do they do but give the guy his own video game. (Note: Nothin' against Shadow though; I just felt sorry for Knux. You rule, Shad!) But did Knux ever get anything? Noooooo, they just left it at Tikal's his ancestor. I felt sorry for the guy, sooo…this is for you, Knux! Oh yeah, this chapter can get pretty random sometimes, and Sonic acts very very very OOC…just figured I'd say that now…
Disclaimer: I do not own the Sonic the Hedgehog series, but Luna the Echidna and the contents of this fanfic story are MINE!
Arrival
Clothed in an ancient green and orange circle patterned dress, the young magenta echidna girl made her way through the labyrinth-like forest. She was utterly confused as to where she was…only that everything looked different…
Where am I? she thought, And how did I get here…? Wandering around a bit more, she noticed that, in the thickness of the forest, something familiar stuck out. Curiosity took her over to that place…and, seeing the old ruins of the temple she had known and loved throughout her lifetime, she couldn't help but shed a tear. "So, it's true…this really isn't my time…everything's changed…" she sighed.
She gazed up at the sky and noticed something…different. "A…floating island…!" She giggled in excitement. "Omigosh omigosh omigosh! He must be there! He must be alive!"
A normal day. Just a normal boring day as Knuckles continued to guard the Master Emerald from what seemed like nothing. Ever since Mighty had left for some world-traveling adventure and the rest of the Chaotix went off and made a detective agency, Knuckles had been stuck on Angel Island alone, guarding the Emerald. Knuckles sometimes thought what the heck was the point of guarding the stupid thing, but after Eggman had released Chaos and shattered the ME, and then that stupid no-good thieving bat came and tried to steal it, he really didn't have much of a choice in the matter. My duty is to guard the Master Emerald…no matter how boring it may seem, I won't let anything catch me off-guard again—
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Knuckles looked above in astonishment. "What the he—"
There was Sonic, flying right above him with a red cape on.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm Superman! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sonic shouted happily as he imitated Superman. Knuckles was stunned. "Since when can you fly, blue boy?"
Sonic grinned. "Since Tails made these Rocket Jet Shoes for me to test! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sonic yelled as he flew around like a little kid, not knowing he was heading straight for the ME.
Knuckles gasped and cracked his knuckles. "Sonic Hedgehog, you lay one hand on that Emerald and I'll kick your—"
Just as he said that, Sonic flew into and shattered the Master Emerald. "OWW! Eheheheh…w-whoops…" Sonic chuckled nervously, "Uh, s-sorry Knux…" Knuckles' eyes turned red and yelled, "YOU'RE GONNA LOOK WORSE THAN THAT MASTER EMERALD WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU, YOU LITTLE RAT!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeeek!" Sonic squealed like a little girl as he flew around in fear. "COME BACK HERE!" Knuckles yelled with his fists flying in the air.
Then, all of a sudden, Sonic's new Rocket Jet Shoes started to malfunction…and…"AAAAHHHHH! I'M OUTTA CONTROOOOLLLLL—WWWWWWWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TAILS, HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sonic screamed as he flew out of control into space (one of those anime star things appearing as he disappeared into the sky)
Knuckles smirked. "Good riddance to bad rubbish, I always say…" The usual earthquake-rumbling-as-Angel-Island-falls-from-the-sky-because-the-ME-shattered-all-thanks-to-some-idiot continued as Knuckles grumbled, "I'm still gonna get him though…" Sploosh. Angel Island had fallen down. Yet again. All thanks to that no-good blue pest.
"Hmm? What's that sound?" the echidna girl asked herself as she saw the Floating Island fall. I wonder what happened…? Her eyes followed the island until it fell into an ocean nearby. But if he really is there…I have no time to lose!
Remembering that she could glide, she climbed on top of the old ancient temple ruins and flew all the way out of the labyrinth forest.
"Owww…" Sonic groaned as Cream put some ointment on his injuries from he crashed (wherever the heck that was). "Stay still, Sonic," Cream ordered kindly as she wrapped up his wounds. "But it huuuurrrrrrrrrts, Cream…" Sonic whined.
"Well, you're lucky you didn't get killed from that stunt you pulled, not to mention that Amy's out of town," Tails scolded as he walked in, "You know she wouldn't give you a break after this." Sonic sighed, "Yeah, you're right…I'm glad she's not here...I wouldn't want her to see me in pai-I-I mean, C-Cream's a better nurse anyway…" Cream smiled. "Thank you, Sonic."
Sploosh. "What was that?" Cream shouted, surprised at the sudden noise. Sonic chuckled nervously, "I think I left something out…I paid Knuckles a little visit. I figured he was lonely..."
"SONIC YOU DIDN'T!" Tails and Cream shouted at the tired blue hedgehog. He grinned, "Alright…I didn't." Tails slapped his forehead. "Oh boy…Cream, could you watch Sonic and make sure he doesn't go on anymore 'test runs' that he claims to love so much?" Cream nodded. "No problem; me and Cheese'll watch him." "Chao!"
"Okay, I'll be right back…"
Tails flew out the door of his mountain workshop in Mystic Ruins to gaze at the scene. Angel Island had crashed into the ocean to the left (Tails' left) of the mountain which he was standing on right now. Wow, never landed there before…Tails thought as he approached the fence that stood between terra firma and the edge of the mountain.
"Excuse me! You there, boy!" a voice called out. Tails turned around to see a very unfamiliar face. She was a magenta color, and she wore a green dress with an orange-circle pattern on it. She had blue bracelets on, an emerald necklace, and a little pendant with a blue jewel on her forehead. And she was an echidna. Looking down at her sandals, Tails said the first thing that popped in his head, "T-Tikal?"
The girl grabbed Tails' shoulders and shook him violently, squealing, "You! You know Tikal? Princess Tikal! You know her?" Tails was a bit stunned at her reaction. "Umm…y-yes…? I'm sorry, I-I thought you were her for a sec…" The girl giggled, "Why? Haven't you seen a girl echidna before?"
Tails shuffled his feet uneasily. "Uh…besides seeing Tikal a couple of times, and you standing here right now, n-no…" The young girl gasped in astonishment. "What? Wow, things have changed…"
"Changed…?" Tails asked, confused. The girl shook her head. "N-never mind. Uh, anyway, I have a question…" Tails' ears pricked up. "Yes?"
"The guardian of the island, is he there?" Tails nodded. "Yes…why?" The girl squealed happily. "Yippee! That's all I need to know, thanks!" she shouted as she prepared to jump down to the fallen Angel Island. "W-wait a second! Who are—"
As Tails shouted this, however, the girl had already jumped to where the island was floating in the water. "…you…?"
"Okay, just one more…" Knuckles muttered to himself as he continued searching for the last Emerald shard. At least when that bozo Sonic broke the Master Emerald, he only had enough force to spread the pieces around the island… "Gah, where is it?" Knuckles grumbled, tearing up some bushes in frustration.
"Looking for this?"
Knuckles turned around and gasped. There, right in front of him, was a young magenta echidna girl, holding the final ME shard. She immediately embraced him. "Oh, Prince Asahi, I missed you so much!"
Cliffhanger! Whe! Suspense!
Sonic: But you made me look like an idiot!
MTK: Wait…you're not?
Sonic: No, I am actually quite intelligent, I'll have you know. I'll prove it. If Train A…-goes on and on…-
MTK: -adds up the facts- OMG, he's right… –passes out-
Knux: Great job genius, you killed her. Now I have to kill you.
Sonic: Knux, that was a scene in the chapter. There's no need to—AAAHHHH!
-Knux beats up Sonic like mad, but it's so violent it's accompanied by a 'Technical Difficulties; Please Wait' sign- -Tails appears-
Tails: When MTK regains consciousness, Chapter 2 will be coming up!
