Chapter 7: Let there be Red and then Purple

A red male echidna with white spiked boxing gloves, red and green shoes, and amethyst eyes, continues to watch a large emerald like gem with confusion. This stone began to glow last night like something is wrong. Since then, it still hasn't stopped glowing. The echidna tried everything to find out what could be going on around the island, but nothing was damaged. He thought about looking for his friends, and it would be best to do that. "Something must be happening," he mumbles to himself.

Just as the echidna got ready to look for his friends, the large emerald's glow dimmed down until it is back to normal. What changed? The red echidna walks around the emerald with a more confused look until he sees a purple figure. A trespasser, and their hand is on the emerald! The red echidna glares at the figure while heading towards them. "Hold it right there! Step away from the Master Emerald," he demands as he continues to stomp towards the figure. When he got a closer look at the figure, who is now staring at him with shocked, now stared with shock as well! This trespasser is a female purple echidna with bright teal eyes and wears a yellow outfit, yellow headband with a circular jewel in the middle, red-pink gloves with lavender ring like bands, and two turquoise stars, one on her stomach and another on her left shoulder. "Y-you're a-"

Before the red echidna could finish his sentence, the purple echidna snapped out of her shocked state and takes off running away from him and the large emerald. The male echidna then chases after the female echidna. "Hey, come back here," he shouts while chasing the purple echidna!

The purple echidna continues to run the best she could. She was warned to not be spotted. However, she noticed something when she arrived. She was told about it in stories from her family, the Master Emerald. When the female echidna saw the large emerald, it reminded her so much of that story and her family. She couldn't help but look at it a bit. That is, until she saw another one of her kind! It's impossible, she thought she was the last of her kind. Perhaps her ancestors were originally from this dimension! Are there more of her kind living here? No, she couldn't focus on that! She is here on a mission, to retrieve some items she's looking for, and the Master Emerald isn't one of them.

The female echidna looks behind her to see if the male echidna is following her but was surprised to see he disappeared. She stops and looks around for the red echidna. Did she lose him?

Little did the female echidna know, the male echidna was hiding in a tree close to her. He secretly climbed onto it, so he can get a closer look on her without being detected. 'Good, she can't see me,' he thinks to himself. 'But it's hard to believe she's an echidna like me! Are more of my kind alive?' he thinks more.

"Good, she can't see me. But it's hard to believe she's an echidna like me. Are more of my kind alive?"

The purple echidna froze as her eyes widened. Yes, she heard it! She heard the red echidna's thoughts! The female echidna looks to where she heard the thinkable voice. A tree, but she sees something in the tree. Something… red! She found him, and she has to get away quickly! Quickly, she starts running away from the tree with the red echidna in it.

The red echidna got down on the tree with a look of surprise as he chases her again. How did she find him so quickly? He was extremely quiet when he climbed on to the tree. He'll have to ask her himself. "Hey, stop," he shouts to the purple echidna! This female echidna is pretty fast, now that he thinks about it. Whenever he got close to her, she would-

The female echidna suddenly disappears in a quick flash! This caused the male echidna to stop his tracks to look around the area he's in. There is no way the purple echidna is that fast!... Unless, she can teleport! And if that purple echidna can teleport, then she has a Chaos Emerald! In that case, he definitely needs to find his friends! As much as he doesn't want to think it, that echidna could be an enemy. There is no time to lose now! The red echidna then takes off to find his friends.

She thinks she lost him. The purple echidna was able to use one of her abilities to teleport away from the red echidna. But where she was teleported to, she didn't expect it to be so messy. She arrived at a forest, but there are metal parts and destroyed robots around her. She looks around and noticed a set of energy she can sense. Curious, she follows the energy source.

The female echidna continues to follow the source and sees a small abandoned cave. In it, she sees someone she recognizes in a bit of pain. "Lunaura?" she calls out to the white rabbit!

Lunaura opened her eyes the moment the echidna walks in to the cave. She was sitting down leaning to the cave wall to rest up a bit until night fall while covering the wound on her upper left arm and shoulder. Hearing her name being announced, she looks to the purple echidna. "Kekeionga," she says to the female echidna calmly. The rabbit starts to sit up a bit to let the echidna know she's conscious.

The echidna, or rather Kekeionga, looks to Lunaura when she notices the wound along with a strange band on the rabbit's right arm. "What happened to you? Did you fight those robots in the forest?" she asks with worry.

Lunaura looks to Kekeionga. "Many things had happened Keke," she replies. The rabbit looks back down to the ground. "Like for starters, those robots I fought are working for the human who tried to snag the Lunar Gems. And that same human had placed this weird band on me," she explains to add more details.

Kekeionga took in all the information Lunaura explained. "So, it really is a human," she mumbles a bit. The echidna then looks to the band on the rabbit. "How come you didn't get the band off yet?" she asks. Kekeionga watches Lunaura look back at her with an eye narrow.

"I tried to get it off Keke. It's latched on to me like glue."

Kekeionga stiffens a bit and frowns. "I see," she says quietly. The purple echidna walks a bit closer to Lunaura and sits down. "Here, let me help you get it off," she offers. She sees the rabbit shrug and holds out her arm, the one with the band. Kekeionga gets a good hold on the band and begins to pull the object off of Lunaura. The rabbit starts pulling on the opposite side to help the progress.

The two continue to try and get the band off. Unfortunately, the band starts to latch on tighter to Lunaura which makes it harder to come off. After a good couple of minutes, Kekeionga started to look exhausted. "It's alright. Don't worry about it too much," the rabbit says. "I'm sure we'll find that human again and make him remove it," she added.

Kekeionga looks to Lunaura with concern but does release the band as she leans against the opposite wall. The echidna then remembers to wound on the rabbit. "What about your arm? Did the robots or human do that to you?" she asks.

Lunaura looks at her wound. "No, it was someone else. He claims that I had harmed his "friend" even though I saved it from the human's robots," she replies. "But the wound will be gone by night fall," she claims. The rabbit watches Kekeionga nod as the echidna looks outside. "I'll be hiding deeper in the shadows, so strangers won't see. You should probably do the same thing," she suggested as she gets up. Lunaura then walks deeper into the cave until she's in the shadows.

Kekeionga continues to look outside a bit. Finally, she gets up and walks deeper into the shadows.

Sassy and Tails watch the ground below while the fox controls the plane. Her and Tails had been looking around for any signs of the others. According to Sassy, there are three other lunar creatures that might be here beside herself, Coco, Stitch, and Lunaura. She's already explained to Sonic, Amy, and Tails about them. Aside from Stitch, the other three are a fox, cat, and echidna. The blue and pink hedgehogs were a bit surprised with the two-tailed fox. They weren't expecting an echidna to be in the list. Tails was also concerned when a fox specie was mentioned. He hadn't seen one of his kind in a while, even if they only have one tail. The fox hears the magenta hedgehog sigh which had him look at her. "Don't worry Sassy, we'll find your friends. I know we will," he reassures her.

While Sassy and Tails are in the air, Sonic and Amy are looking around on the ground. The two aren't having as much luck as Sassy and Tails are. Then again, they don't know much about the others except for their species. Once he makes a quick stop and puts Amy down, Sonic moves his glove a bit to reveal a wrist-watch communicator. "Tails, I think we should meet up near Green Hill. We're going to need more details from Sassy on what her friends look like," he says to the communicator.

"Okay Sonic," Tails says through the communicator in the plane. Tails starts to turn the plane around to head towards Green Hill quickly.

Sassy watches with worry especially with how fast Tails is going. "Tails, shouldn't we slow down a bit? We might lose Amy and Sonic," she questions.

Tails smiles a bit to Sassy. "Don't worry Sassy. Sonic is really fast when it comes to speed. He'll probably be waiting at Green Hill by the time we arrive there," he states. Tails continues to fly the plane while looking straight ahead.

Sure enough, Sonic and Amy had arrived at the boarders of Green Hill while Sassy and Tails had just arrived and landed the plane near the blue and pink hedgehogs. Once the plane stops running and the fox and magenta hedgehog are off the plane, Sonic and Amy walks to the two. "Sassy, we're going to need to know a bit more about your friends in order to find them. Do you think you can tell us a bit more about them?" Sonic asks.

Sassy sighs a bit as she nods. "Yeah," she replies. "Well, first there is Sillina. She's a white cat with green eyes and lavender clothing," she starts. The magenta hedgehog then starts to giggle a bit. "She loves to think of anything fashion. She'll always find an outfit she thinks that would look well for someone," she says with a small smile. Realizing she's off topic, the magenta hedgehog starts to blush a bit in embarrassment. "Oh right," she mumbles while stopping her blush. "Anyways, then there is Buck. He's a mint fox with flame eyes. He's usually training himself," she explains.

Tails thinks back to fox. So, Buck is his name… From the short description, this guy doesn't sound much of someone he would hang out with. Tails then remembered there is one more. "What about the other one?" he asks Sassy.

Before Sassy could mutter a word, Sonic noticed someone gliding in the air. "Hang on," the blue hedgehog announces. He looks closer at the sky to see who it is. However, the figure is heading this way! Not just a figure, a red figure. Once the figure lands near the group, they turn out to be a red male echidna with amethyst eyes and boxing knuckle gloves. Sonic, Amy, and Tails instantly recognize him while Sassy stares in shock. "Knuckles?" Sonic questions in surprise.

Knuckles, the red echidna, looks to Sonic, Tails, and Amy with a slight wave. "Yo," he announces with a slight wave as he walks up to the three. "Guys, something strange is going on around here. The Master Emerald had picked up some strange energy last night and it had not stopped glowing," he states with a serious expression.

Sonic looks to Tails and Amy who also looked concern. They have a slight idea on what going on, but they're going to need more information. "There is more," Knuckles continued. Sonic, Amy, and Tails look back to Knuckles. "The Master Emerald had returned to normal, but it was because of an intruder that I caught," he explains while looking down to think a bit. With a short sigh, the echidna looks back up. "The intruder was an echidna like me except purple," he describes the intruder.

"Keke?"

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy look towards where they heard the mumble from. Sassy stares at the group with more shock and now with worry. Knuckles glares a bit at Sassy while hiding his surprised expression. "You know her?" he asks. The echidna noticed the magenta hedgehog taking a step back.

Sonic noticed Knuckles stomping towards Sassy, so he gets in between the two. "Whoah Knux, let's not jump into actions so quickly," he says to the red echidna. The blue hedgehog turns to Sassy. "So Sassy, who's Keke?" he asks the magenta hedgehog.

Sassy looks to Knuckles in concern. Should she tell about Keke? This echidna seems to be friends with Sonic and the others. After a quiet sigh, Sassy looks to the blue hedgehog and his friends. "Keke is a purple echidna who usually attends to avoid a large crowd or attention as much as she can. I can't really say much about her except I do see her around Buck or Lunaura," she explains.

Sonic thinks a bit about all the folks Sassy talked about. To find Sillina, he and his friends will need to look at a town or city which he'll have to leave Amy and Sassy to do. That sounds like a good start. But, what about the other two? "So, who are you?" the blue hedgehog hears Knuckles asks.

Tails looks to Knuckles. "Knuckles meet Sassy. She's a new friend of ours and is Amy's older sister," he says to the echidna.

Knuckles now couldn't hold his surprise expression. "Amy's older sister? How is that possible?" he questions. The red echidna looks to Amy and noticed her somewhat nervous expression. He might have an idea on what's going on, maybe. "Oh, I see," he says while turning to Sassy with a glare. "Then what is she doing here now after all this time?" he asks.

Sassy flinches a bit at Knuckles's question. Just because Amy and her friends are okay with learning about her and her people, it does not mean it's okay to tell all of their friends. "She actually came to visit Amy, but now she's also here to look for some items that Eggman stole from the place she came from," she hears Tails say. The magenta hedgehog looks to the fox with a bit of relief.

Knuckles looks to Tails. "Eggman is involved?" he asks with a bit of surprise again.

"Yeah," Sonic says with a serious expression. "According to Sassy, Eggman got into the place she lives in and stole several important items. She and her friends are here to collect them," he explains the situation. "And, we've agreed to help her out," he added with a smile.

Knuckles crosses his arms while he thinks a bit while studying Sassy. The magenta hedgehog looks away when she sees the red echidna looking at her. He isn't too convinced about this hedgehog and her friends. If one of them has their hands on a Chaos Emerald, it's hard to tell if they are really friend or foe. "Then why would your friend have a Chaos Emerald?" he asks with more suspicion.

The group look to Knuckles with surprise and then back to Sassy. Sassy looks to the echidna with a confused look. "Chaos Emerald?" she says in confusion. "What's a Chaos Emerald?" she asks the group.

Sonic and his friends look at each other with surprise. Of course, they never explained about Chaos Emeralds to their new friend. "Well um, it's a long story," Tails says while looking towards Knuckles and Sonic.

Sonic then comes up with an idea as he looks to Sassy and Knuckles. "Alright, here is an idea. Sassy, I need you to explain to Knuckles about your group. Afterwards, we can explain more about the Chaos Emeralds," he says. He notices the magenta hedgehog shaking her head. "Don't worry Sassy, you can trust Knuckles. He's a good friend and can help us with this situation," he reassures Sassy.

Sassy frowns a bit as she looks to Knuckles. Seeing no choice, she sighs a bit. "Well, I hope you and your friends don't mind if I repeat our history," she says to the Sonic and his friends. 'And I hope the others would forgive me,' she thinks to herself.

Kekeionga and Lunaura have been resting in the cave for quite some time, the sun is starting to set. The purple echidna walks out a bit to watch the sunset. While she and the white rabbit were resting, Kekeionga couldn't stop thinking about the red echidna she saw. To think, there is another echidna out here. Is it possible there are more out here? She has to know!

"Something troubling you?"

Kekeionga gasps as she turns to the cave, where Lunaura continues to hide in the shadows. Realizing Lunaura thought the question for her to hear, the echidna sighs as she looks back to the setting sun. "This world has echidnas like me," she answers. "I've always wanted to know where my ancestors came from and why I was meant to learn some specific stones. But to see one of them up close and another specie of my kind, I only received more questions. Like, why did some of the echidnas become lunar creatures and what happened to those who didn't?... I just…" she explains but stops herself a bit to think while now watching the moon rise. Having her hands to fists, she looks down with her eyes closed. After a little spark in the cave, Kekeionga opens her eyes with determination. "I have to go back. I need to understand what happened and if there are other echidnas left aside from the one watching the Master Emerald," she then says.

"Sounds like a powerful item. And if it's being protected, then it sounds like that echidna will be there still. Are you going to ask them about the other echidnas?"

Kekeionga sighs and shakes her head. "No, I want to figure out that information myself. As much as I'm happy to see another echidna, I'm unsure if he should know about me. And we can't risk that for our world's sake," she replies.

"This is true. Sassy is telling her sister and her new friends about us as we speak. Perhaps it's best if no one else knows about us unless they are friends with them."

Kekeionga turns to look back into the cave with shock. "Sassy used to live here too? And, she's here right now?" she asks.

"Yes, to both questions. Sassy came to visit her sister. And now, her sister and her friends want to help us locate the Lunar Gems before the human, Eggman, finds them. Don't worry, I allowed Sassy to tell them."

Kekeionga showed a look of surprise as she nods. Remembering her original plan, she looks back outside. "Well, before I can find the Lunar Gems, I need to learn more about my ancestors that lived here. And, you can't stop me," she says with determination. She hears a small sound behind her.

"I'm not going to stop you Keke. I'm coming with you. Even if you want to find out the information yourself, I need to keep you company and keep others away from your mission, especially for a good friend."

Kekeionga smiles brightly. "Thank you," she says quietly, but knows it can be heard. She then looks back to the cave. "You ready to get going?" she asks.

Suddenly, a small white creature furry white creature with some turquoise at the tip of her ears and bottom of her tail, blue ocean like eyes, and pink circle with turquoise stars on each cheek pops out of the shadows and jumps on to Kekeionga's right shoulder. It also has a green lightning bolt on the big tip of its tail. This creature also has one ear shorter than the other. It also has four strange bracelets on it: one around its neck like a collar with a strange heart gem attached to it, another on its smaller ear, and two of them on its legs. It also has a band around its arm that looks like Lunaura's. Actually, it looks almost like Lunaura. "Pika," it says to the purple echidna.

Kekeionga giggles a bit and then nods. She then closes her eyes to concentrate and remember where she was at last time before she used her abilities to teleport. Once she got it memorized, she looks to the small creature on her shoulder. "Hang on tight," she says while she feels strange energy around her. Well, it's not strange for her. And then, Kekeionga and the small creature vanished.

Sassy had listened to Knuckles explaining about the Chaos Emeralds and stares awestruck. To think, how powerful those gems are, perhaps stronger than the Lunar Gems. "But, how can a chaos emerald do with Keke vanishing?" she questions.

Knuckles crosses his arms. "She had triggered a skill called Chaos Control. It allows those who hold a Chaos Emerald to be transported through time and space to get to different locations," he explains. "So, there is no doubt she as a Chaos Emerald," he added.

Sassy blinks a bit to take in the information. But then, she remembered a time Keke would sometimes vanish out of no where especially from a large group. Not only that, she remembers Buck mention psychic powers that Keke possesses. Out of nowhere, Sassy starts to giggle. Sonic and the others were surprised by Sassy's reaction. Knuckles looked a bit upset but waits to see what the magenta hedgehog has to say. Once Sassy calms down, she looks to Sonic and his friends. "I'm sorry. It just came out a bit," she apologizes. She then looks to the red echidna. "I hate to break your theory, but Keke can transport herself without a Chaos Emerald. She uses her psychic powers for that," she explains.

Tails and the others showed a shocked expression. "But how?! How can she do that with psychic powers?" Tails asks. "It's scientifically impossible," he exclaims!

Sassy giggles a bit nervously. "Well, Keke's psychic abilities allow her to teleport to places as well as read one's thoughts. That's all I know about her psychic abilities," she explains.

Knuckles shows a surprised loo as he remembered how Keke was able to locate him so easily after he thought about some questions. That would explain how she found him. Amy shivers at the thought of someone reading her thoughts. If one of these lunar creatures can do that, what else can one do. "Sassy, are there any lunar creatures with other talents?" she suddenly asks.

Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles look to Amy and then to Sassy. Sassy smiles a bit sadly. "Yeah, but only a few. Stitch, Sillina, and I are not one of them. You guys know about Keke. Coco has the power of ice. She can freeze things solid and resist the cold. Buck has the powers of fire. He can control even the hottest of flames and resist the heat," she explains. Remembering Lunaura, she thinks a bit about her abilities, but couldn't think of anything aside from her secret blade.

Sonic and his friends look at each other a bit. It seems like there are more to some of these lunar creatures. Let's just hope some aren't as stubborn as Stitch. Tails then looks at the sky as the sun finishes setting and the moon rises. "We might need to wait tomorrow to continue our search," he announces. He then looks to Knuckles. "Thanks for telling us that you saw Keke Knuckles. If you happen to see her or any of those that Sassy mentioned, can you let us know?" he asks.

Knuckles looks to Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Sassy with a nod. He then walks to Sassy. "We seem to have gone things a bit rough. So, let's start over, I'm Knuckles, it's nice to meet you," he introduces himself as he held his hand out.

Sassy watches Knuckles with surprise. She then smiles and shakes the echidna's hand. "It's nice to meet you Knuckles. I'm Sassy Rose. It's nice to meet you as well," she says while smiling.

Kekeionga and the small furry creature arrived at the shrine of the Master Emerald. The creature stares at the gigantic gem with some surprise. It's big as it expected, but it also can sense some strange energy coming from it.

"You weren't kidding when you said it's the Master Emerald."

Kekeionga nods as she stares at the large stone. She then looks around for any trace of the red echidna, but to her surprise, she doesn't see him. "He's not here," she mumbles.

"He's probably with his clan to warn them about you."

Kekeionga frowns a bit with a nervous expression. She'll have to think of a few possible ways to figure out about finding information about her ancestors before anyone else gets here. The giant gem then begins to glow brighter. The purple echidna flinches a bit until she starts to see something in the gem. She walks closer to the gem to get a better look. The white creature looks as well and see an image of a tall building with a bunch of robots surrounding it. Each robot, including the building, have a strange symbol on them. The symbol looks like the symbol on the creature's band.

"It seems to be a building that the human could be hiding. But what does this have to do with your ancestors?"

Kekeionga thinks bit about what the Master Emerald is showing her and the creature. This definitely has nothing to do with her ancestors, but why is it showing them this? Kekeionga watches the image more closely and noticed someone on top of the building. It looked like a human and is holding onto something bright red. Its shape looks similar to the Master Emerald but smaller… is this a warning? "It looks like someone has a hold of something," she says quietly.

The creature looks to Kekeionga as its ears twitch a bit. It turns to the image and studies it carefully. Now, it notices the human with a mini red version of the Master Emerald. Wait, it's seen that shape before.

"I've seen that shape before. I saved a robot that was attacking the human's robots. It had an item similar but with a yellow glow instead of red."

Kekeionga looks to the creature with surprise. There is a yellow version as well? She then looks to the Master Emerald with shock as she places her hand on it. She's heard many story books made by her grandparents about the Master Emerald along with seven smaller gems by it. "The servers… are the 7 Chaos…" she starts to mumble. The white creature looks to Kekeionga while it listens. "Chaos is power… Power enriched by the heart…" she added. If that phrase is true, then… "Oh no," she says in shock.

"What's wrong?"

Kekeionga looks to the creature, who got off of her shoulder. "I remember something my family had always told me. There are also seven gems that connect to the Master Emerald and are as powerful when they are together. They are known as Chaos Emeralds. If that human gets all seven of those gems, it could spill more trouble if he has them AND the Lunar Gems," she says with worry.

The furry creature looks surprised at the news. It looks back at the Master Emerald and the image of the human with the red gem. It then looks back to Kekeionga with a serious expression. The purple echidna looks to the creature with a frown. Finally, she sighs. She doesn't need to read its mind to know what it wants to do. Kekeionga doesn't want to give up on learning about her ancestors; however, this situation is more serious now. "Yeah, I know. And it's best if we focus on finding the Lunar Gems along with the Chaos Emeralds," she says in a serious tone. The creature nods in agreement.

"Ah, so he is here too. Of course, he is."

Kekeionga froze when she heard those thoughts. That didn't come from the creature thanks to the tone. But, if it wasn't from the creature, then who thought of that?

"Well well, why am I not surprised you would be here at night Knucky," a deep feminine voice says. Kekeionga and the creature stood there. The creature was able to see who's here without being spotted. It looks like a mobian bat with teal eyes and wearing a heart-shaped outfit with long white gloves and boots. "You sure like don't like making this easy for me. Can't you at least let me hang out with it for a bit," she asks with a shrug.

Kekeionga suddenly looked shocked. Is this mobian planning to steal the Master Emereald?! She has to stop her! "Hey Knucky, don't try to ignore me," she suddenly hears the mobian say. Nervously, she turns to look at the mobian and sees it is a bat mobian.

When the female mobian bat sees a different pair of eyes, she now notices the different color. The mobian bat lands on the ground out of shock. "You're not Knuckles," she states with more shock as she stares at Kekeionga. She was not expecting to see another echidna beside the one she knows.

"Keke, get ready to put her to sleep."

Kekeionga stiffens a bit and then noticed the creature charging towards the bat as its tail starts to glow. The mobian bat had little time to react for she was suddenly attacked by the small creature. She groans a bit as she looks to the creature with confusion. The bat mobian then notices the creature is glaring at her along with some sparks coming out of its cheeks. She starts to get up to fly along with pulling something out. "This is Rouge. We've got a problem on Angel Island! Someone is here to-" was all the mobian bat could say before she was suddenly zapped with a bunch of mint electricity. "AAAAHH," she shouts in pain!

Kekeionga gasps a bit as she watches the creature attack the mobian bat with its electric attack. She watches the creature finish its attack as the bat lands on the ground and drops something. The creature walks to the mobian bat on all fours until it is at least close to the bat and next to the object she dropped. It looks at the object and noticed it looks like a walkie-talkie. The creature crushes the object until it is destroyed. "Pikachu," it says to the bat as it stands on its back legs.

The mobian bat, or Rouge as she said her name earlier, shivers from the electricity and feels immobilized. Just what is this creature? "Lunaura, that wasn't necessary," she hears the purple echidna say! Lunaura? Is that what the creature is or is that its name? The creature looks to the echidna with a shrug. Rouge then sees the purple echidna walking up to her. Once close, the purple echidna gets to her knees and lifts Rouge's chin up to have the bat look at her. "We're sorry, but we can't have you take that Emerald," she apologizes. Once the purple echidna blinks, her teal eyes have a pink glow as the headband gem on her starts to glow. The bat then starts to feel sleepy. No, she has to stay awake to warn Knuckles and his before it's- Rouge finally had her eyes shut as she sees darkness.
