"That's it" said Knuckles and charged straight at her. "You're dead!!!" As he was about to hit her, she grabbed his wrist, stun him around and threw him at a near by tree. From the impact the tree fell down as well as four other. Every one stood there shocked at the result.

"You there, have three choices: one – stay there, two – run away or three – attack me and wish you hadn't followed me..."

-------------------------------

No one said a word. They were way too shocked to even think. The way she blocked Knuckles' attack was like taking candy from a baby. She was indeed someone who took things seriously and knew how to fight. She was a tough opponent. The silence was a bit disturbing and the first to break that silence was Sonic:

"Not bad. I'm almost impressed. Let's see if you are good at…" but he was cut short and his smirk disappeared.

"Speed? Please. You're underestimating me and my skills. Instead of being cocky all the time, you should be more serious when problems of this sort appear…"

"I never thought I'd say this to an enemy," came the voice of Knuckles under the fallen trees, "but I've been telling him the same thing since day one."

At this point he was already up and holding one of the trees above his head and was ready to charge at her. Elektra only took a deep breath and gave him a disappointed look. This was only a waste of time and that was something she could not afford.

"You still want to fight, so I can embarrass you even more?! Give up, you can't win…" told him Elektra annoyed.

"No doubt that you are with Eggman. Only he can say lame things like this. And in the end he always makes a run for it" said Sonic cockily.

"Trying to be funny or trying to convince yourself in what you just said. That, my boy, is lame…" she moved a few feet from her original position to avoid the tree that Knuckles threw at her. But that was not the thing that surprised everyone. The tree came flying behind her without a sound.

"How did you…? That's it. You wanna get tough, then so be it."

Both Sonic and Knuckles attacked her. Knuckles with his punches, which she dodged with ease. Sonic was trying to kick her or hit her with his spin dash, but in vain. Elektra had hardly made more that three steps to avoid them. This battle was not a battle. It was like playing tag with a five year old.

"This is getting boring. This is your last chance to give up, or I'm going to stop this the hard way" hissed a very annoyed Elektra.

"Oh, really? And you didn't do that until now because?" mocked Sonic.

"Because for you, it's not a fair fight."

"That's what you think" growled Knuckles as he threw his best hit at her, but she caught his wrist again and said in a low voice.

"Very well, you have been warned."

And with that she spun him once, lifted him above his head and hit him with great force on the ground. The impact was so powerful, that it knocked the air out of him and he lost consciousness. Everyone yelled his name in panic, and Rouge even flew towards him and tried to revive him. When she looked up at Elektra, rage filled her eyes when she yelled:

"What's your problem?! Why are you fighting us like no tomorrow? What did we ever do to you?"

"I warned you all not to interfere, but some of you did. That's why he paid for his actions..."

"Why you…" Rouge flew up, spun around and made a small tornado. One hit from it could be fatal. Elektra just blocked it with one hand, "Never use your anger in a fight. That way you don't have 100 control of your body, mind and powers."

She simply grabbed her foot and threw her in mid air. Before anyone could see what happened Elektra was already at her level, made one spin forward and hit her in the stomach with her foot. Rouge let out a scream in pain and fell unconscious near Knuckles.

"Oh, no, Rouge!!!" screamed Amy, Cream and Tails in horror. Sonic stood there in shock.

"Sonic!!! Catch!!!" Tails' voice took him out of his unconsciousness, as he threw him several power rings.

"Thanks buddy!" but he did not catch them as they flew towards Elektra as she gratefully accepted them, and put them on her wrist as bracelets.
"Oh, you're such a dear. Thank you very much. Your kindness won't be forgotten," she said in a dreamy voice.

"Hey, give them back!" yelled Sonic in a somewhat angry voice.

"You wan'em, come and get'em, sugar" she replied in a flirty voice.

That was something Amy did not like at all. Sonic ran at her, but as this time she moved out of the way, she threw the liquid from a little bottle at his legs. Sonic fell to his knees, his legs felt numb and he couldn't get up. Elektra kneeled near him and lifted his head by chin:

"Aww, widle Sonic can't get up. Don't worry, not all your parts are numb and now I can whatever I want with you…"

The instant she said that she had to jump away to avoid an oversized hammer. She chuckled when she saw a furious Amy with another oversized hammer protecting Sonic.

"Worked like a charm," she said with satisfaction. "Using a hammer to smash those who want your crush; how adorable."

Amy charged at her and tried to hit her, but her opponent was dodging all her attacks. That's when she decided to try a hit from above. Big mistake. Elektra moved a little, grabbed her hammer and threw it aside. But as she touched her hand, electricity hit both of them. They moved away from each other to try and understand what happened.

"Static electricity" was what escaped Elektra's lips. She looked at Amy in disbelieve and Sonic noticed that.

"Amy!!! Quick! Get out of here!"

Determination was again seen in Elektra's eyes as she reached her hand out towards Amy, as the pink girl fell to the ground.

"AMY!!! What did you do to her?" demanded Sonic.

"I put her to sleep. Now if you don't mind, I have job to do."

"Wait! We're not done yet…"

"Don't make me kill you," Elektra said in a low voice.

She then disappeared somewhere in the forest. Tails and Cream went out of their hiding place to Sonic. They cleaned his legs as best as they could and he was somewhat able to walk around. As they were sure he was okay, they went to Knuckles and Rouge and were able to bring them back to consciousness. By the time they were on their feet, Amy awoke from her slumber by herself. They were all disappointed with themselves and didn't know what to say.

"I can't believe it. We were beaten by a super model and none of you is thinking of going after her!" Knuckles was furious.

"Because first we don't know where she is, and second some of us are pretty well beaten. So we can't go after her," answered Sonic.

"Then what do you sagest we do? Go home and sleep tight? That's a great plan since it's already dark. Then what will we do?" asked Knuckles sarcastically.

"If she is with Eggman, then we should expect the worst from her," mumbled Tails

"Why should we?! We have speedster here on our team. There's no way she can escape" said Knuckles laughing hard.

"Last time I checked you were the first defeated one. So just shut it," Amy cut his laughter short.

"Please don't fight. If there's a time for us to work together, that's now," Cream tried to calm down the enraged ones.

"Cream is right. If we want to get that Elektra chick back, we should save our energy for her," said Rouge. But then something caught everyone's attention. A green light was working its way up the spy from…

"The Master Emerald!!! She must be after it. I must go before it's too late," said Knuckles in panic.

"Don't worry, pal. We'll be there in a flash with… The Chaos Emerald is gone! She must have taken it," discovered Sonic.

"Now how are going to get there on time?" asked Amy.

"Hey! She came with a plane right. We can use it to go there," suggested Tails.

"Great idea, bro. Now let's go get her…"
