Sonic: Island of Reckoning

Chapter 4: The Story of Tikal

Yes, I have finally updated this fanfic! Sorry if it's been a while, but I have been caught up in other endeavours. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

Suddenly, three figures dropped down and surrounded the teams. One was a bee, one was a chameleon, and the other was a crocodile.

"We very well know what you've got.", the chameleon said.

"Hand 'em over!", the crocodile blared.

"We won't hurt you if you give us the gems. And even if you didn't, I wouldn't dare disobey Mistress Tikal's orders.", the bee commented.

"We don't have them.", Sonic replied, "We haven't found any of them."

"Good. Because if you did, we would eventually be back where we all started.", a voice responded. Then, an echidna swung on a vine into the triangle that the bee, chameleon, and crocodile had made.

"Mistress Tikal!", the bee exclaimed, flying over and saluting her.

"Thank you for your decency, Charmy Bee.", Tikal the Echidna replied.

"Who are you guys?", Shadow asked.

"We are Tikal, Inc.", Tikal replied, "I am really the daughter of Chief Pachacamac of the Knuckles Tribe from four thousand years ago."

"Hey! That's the same tribe from which I descend!", Knuckles commented, "Could you be one of my ancestors?"

"No.", Tikal replied, "I've spent most of my existence in the Master Emerald, and I don't even remember where it is."

"I tried to protect the peaceful Chaos in the Master Shrine from my father's group of warriors. But it wasn't enough. The Chaos were injured, which caused their guardian, the mutated Chao, Chaos, to turn into the snake demon, Perfect Chaos. He killed my father, his warriors, and almost all the echidnas.", Tikal explained, "I hate war. I want G.U.N. to suffer the consequences for starting so many."

"What did G.U.N. do?", Sonic asked.

"That, I feel I must tell you."
