Lost Memories
Prologue
Normal P.O.V
Smoke billowed from the floating workshop, high above Angel Island.
"*cough* go go go!"
An orange hedgehog, a violet bat and a green echidna ran through the thick smoke and passed several wrecked robots. The bat stopped and turned round.
"Blossom! Hurry!"
A pale blue cat was fighting with another robot, firing ice beams from her paws. She turned at the sound of the bat's voice, and she vaulted over the wreckage. The cat ran over and joined the group behind another destroyed robot. The echidna was limping, and he started up a coughing fit, leaning against the robot for support.
"Blossom, *cough* what are we going to *cough* do? This isn't what was supposed to happen!"
The cat looked at the bat and then at the hedgehog.
"I know that we were supposed to *cough* come in undetected, but right now we have to focus on *cough* getting to the control room and turn on the vents!"
She pointed out the door, and at a large window that was past several balconies.
"Wisp, Skye, can you two hold off the robots? Gaia is too exhausted to fight, and I have to *cough* turn on the vents to clear up this smoke."
The echidna shook his head and stood weakly, still using the robot to stay upright.
"Let me fight Blossom, I'm *cough* fine!"
The blue cat shook her head.
"No Gaia, I'm not letting you fight when you're this tired; the effort would kill you!"
The cat turned to the other two. The echidna hobbled over to stand with them in a circle. The orange hedgehog placed a hand in the middle. A small red opal embedded in his forehead began to glow.
"Fire."
The cat placed a paw in the middle on top of the hedgehog's hands, and her own glittering blue opal glowed.
"Water."
The echidna managed to place a hand on top, and a deep green opal in his forehead started glowing.
"*cough* earth."
The violet bat put her hand on the top of the pile, and a very light blue opal glowed as well.
"Air."
They all chanted the last line together.
"We are the elements, and we are free!"
They each raised an arm, and a column of fire, a beam of ice, a thorny tendril and a pillar of air shot from their hands. The cat smiled and raised a paw in farewell. The bat and hedgehog nodded in acknowledgement and hopped atop a smouldering robot. The echidna sighed and sank down to the ground.
"Come on! Let's see what you're made of!"
The hedgehog blasted several robots with fire, and they dropped to the ground, smoking. The cat had headed out onto the first balcony, and was preparing to jump the three foot gap to the next balcony.
"WISP! WATCH OUT!"
The bat screeched, flying high up to the ceiling. The hedgehog turned his head and was hit with a robotic arm. The bat was sobbing now, trying to see anything through the thick smoke.
"NO! WISP!"
The blue cat had just crossed the first gap, and she turned her head at the sound of the bat's grief stricken voice. A solitary tear slid down her grimy cheek. An evil laugh echoed through the workshop.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS EGGMAN!"
The cat roared at the sky, running across the second balcony. As she was getting to jump the next gap, a voice emanated from the entire workshop.
"OH, BUT I ALREADY HAVE!"
The cat leaped over the railings.
"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR FRIENDS BLOSSOM!"
A red beam hit the cat in the chest mid-jump, knocking her off course.
"GAIA! SKYE!"
She screamed going down, plummeting down towards Angel Island, ripping through the air.
Blossom's P.O.V
I remember being hit in the chest by some sort of beam. Then all I can remember falling, falling, falling…
