Right! Now's time for a bit of action, don't you think? Lets see what happens shall we? Also, I would be happy if you could review my story, see where I could add a little more detail and what you think about my OC's. So here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
When Sonic's team arrived, he gave a smile. "Phew. We are finally here. Sorry for the hold up!" "Actually, we arrived not long before you guys" Tails replied. He looked towards the cave mouth and he shuddered. "So this is where Dreadscream is huh?" They slowly nodded. A sudden scream alerted the group. It came from inside the cave. A yellow badger came stumbling out, pixilated wounds all over her and her mace broken in two before disappearing. Sonic looked at her health bar and it was in the red. Skye came up to her. "Are you alright? What happened?" she said calmly. The badger looked up, her wide eyes filled with fear. "M-my guild. They were slaughtered by that-THING! I was just able to escape but my friends weren't so lucky…" Her eyes filled with tears and Skye comforted her, passing her a warp crystal. "We are so sorry for what happened. Get back to town and you'll be safe." The badger wiped her eyes. "T-thank you!" she said shyly. She held the crystal above her head. "Teleport- Town Of Beginnings!" she yelled and in an instant blue energy flowed around her before disappearing. Everyone was a little shocked. "If a whole guild was wiped out by that boss, we are in for a bit of a challenge" said Knuckles as he took his war hammer off his back. Sonic brought out his greatswords from his back with determined eyes. "What are we waiting for? Let's give this boss what for!" he said with his trademark smile. And with that, the Team charged into the cave, weapons blazing.
Sonic's POV
When we entered the cave, a light illuminated our way. They were fireflies. It was kinda pretty to watch but that wasn't why we were here. We entered a large room that was dim and the walls were covered in moss and slowed our pace. "Stay back. I'm gonna look ahead" I said quietly and I kept on pacing forward. "And let you get killed hedgehog?" said Shadow. "That's an idiotic thing to do." I turned around, a grim look on my face. "Look Shadow, I'm scouting ahead to see where the boss is. If it sees me I can outrun it. I'm level seventeen and I will be fine if it catches me. I'm saving everyone's skins!" Shadow shrugged. "Fine but it's your funeral" I left everyone in search of the boss but I didn't need to go far. Sitting in the middle of the room was a gigantic green snake with two heads. It had a thick, coiled body with spines going down its back. Yellow eyes glared at me and the white frills on its head began to quiver. Four health bars appeared next to it. The beast hissed at me and I froze and held my breath, weapons at the ready. A logo appeared above its heads "Dreadscream." "Sonic what's going on?" said Charmy. A wave of doubt flowed through my head and the snake charged in my direction with fangs bared. "Whoa!" I yelled as I bounded out of the way just in time. Everyone came out of the tunnel at the sound of my voice and began to charge at Dreadscream with their weapons glowing. Her frills quivered even more and she turned towards the crowd before letting out a long, high pitched shriek. I dropped my weapons and fell to my knees, covering my ears. The noise was excruciating! I looked at everyone. They were screaming but I couldn't hear them. I had to do something! I slowly took my hands away from my ears and the noise got louder. It felt like my head was about to explode. Fortunately I wasn't enough to stop me and picked up my swords, clasping the hilts tightly. I ran towards the serpent and plunged them deep into her side, making her shriek in pain. A breathed a sigh of relief when she stopped screaming and everyone regained their focus. "Sally! Does Dreadscream have any weaknesses?" I yelled before I felt a sharp pain in my back and I was sent flying across the room. I landed on my side hard and skidded to a halt. It burned but I couldn't stop now. I slowly got up and looking at my back, a giant gash where Dreadscream had struck. "Sonic! Are you alright?!" I looked in front of me and saw Silver running towards me. I took a swift look at my health. It had only depleted a bit. "Yeah" I replied, picking up my swords nearby. "What a relief. I saw Dreadscream hit you. I thought you were seriously injured." I smiled. "Heh, a small cut won't take down this hedgehog! Let's go help the others." Silver nodded and we ran back into the action. "Sonic. Good news!" yelled Sally as she deflected Dreadscream's tail with her halberd. "Her frills are sensitive to movement. If you can hack them off, it will get her off balance!" "Got it!" I replied and I quickly ran behind Dreadscream. "Hey ugly!" The snake turned towards me, eyes flashing. She lunged at me with her fangs bared and I easily dodged both her heads. Using a charged attack, I swiftly slicing off all four frills. The snake shrieked and slithered away from us and onto a pedestal at the back of the room. Her health bar reappeared, showing that she only had half of her last bar remaining. Her eyes began to glow a lime green. "What's going on? Is she yielding?" questioned Rouge. My quills began to tingle. "No but something bad is about to happen!" I said coldly.
Your POV
The ground began to rumble beneath their feet and they struggled to keep balance. Sonic looked underneath him to find the ground beginning to split up. "Everyone! Move!" he yelled and they all jumped out of the way just before a huge vine covered with large thorns erupted from the ground. Some vines had snared Amy, Charmy and Julie-Su. They screamed in agony as the vines got tighter, leaving small red wounds in where the thorns had made contact. Sonic watched as their health slowly depleted as he quickly came to their rescue. He had reached Amy, Vector had reached Charmy and Knuckles had reached Julie. They all started hacking away at the thick vines, being wary of thorns appearing from underneath them. Dreadscream slithered back into the battle fangs bared and the rest of the team kept her at bay with weapons flashing. Finally after some time the guys managed to free their friends who had lost a quarter of their health and they quickly gathered together. "Do any of you need to recover?" asked Knuckles. All three shook their heads stubbornly. "I'll keep on fighting until the very end! I don't care if some stupid vine grabbed me!" yelled Amy in determination. They six members sped back into action, hacking away at Dreadscream's health. Blow after blow left the snake hissing in infuriation and pain. When she only had a sliver of health, she made a final attack, lunging her two heads at an unsuspecting Skye. No one was able to react in time and the snake pierced her fangs into the Mobians shoulders, poison icon appeared beside her names. She yelled out in pain before using the rest of her energy to deal the final blow, slitting Dreadscream's throats with a swift double slash of her right sword. The snake let go of her victim and she fell to the floor, letting out a gurgling hiss and collapsed before disappearing into shards of blue. A giant icon appeared in the middle of the room saying "CONGRATULATIONS!" Everyone gained a level and obtained some gold, but now wasn't the time to celebrate. Sonic, Peter and Tails rushed over to their fallen alley who was barely able to keep her eyes open.
I just had to put someone in Death's grasp. :)
Just to let everyone know, all the bosses in my story are of my own, some dungeons monsters are from the anime though. There will be 10 bosses altogether. I'll get my next chapter up ASAP.
