Hi guys, it's been a while! Happy New Year, by the way. Now we can finally finish Sonic Adventure and establish Kara's position in the Sonic team. Okay, thanks to Guest (Actually, those ideas are exactly what I had planned! Kara will be Guinevere in Black Knight and in the end of Team Dark's story in Free Riders when Metal Sonic's disguise 'breaks down', Kara will join Team Dark in the race against Team Rose.), c4Italys7-29 and dream lighting for reviewing/following/favoring along with all 1,315 readers! Also, I've written one more new Sonic story titled A True Home. It's surrounds the group in a human AU and in a high school. Please go check it out! Now I hope you all enjoy this chapter and please review!
Kara was suddenly knocked into Knuckles and cried out in shock as he caught her when Angel Island hit the water.
"You okay?" Knuckles asked. Kara nodded before the two turned to the Master Emerald. "The Master Emerald is where it belongs." Knuckles said.
"But Angel Island is still falling!" Kara cried.
"This doesn't make any sense." Knuckles said, shaking his head. "Maybe...Those Chaos Emeralds...that we brought back with us...have something to do with what's happening."
"So it's my fault." Kara said, looking down sadly. It was her idea to bring the Chaos Emeralds with them, after all.
"No, Snowflake, it isn't." Knuckles shook his head as he held her shoulders tightly. "I would've brought them, even if you hadn't said anything." Kara smiled slightly at the reassurance.
"Maybe Sonic can help us." Kara suggested. Knuckles nodded when Kara's snowflake suddenly glowed. Her white tinted eyes widened in surprise before they returned to their normal icy blue color. "Knuckles, turn around..." She whispered. The echidna did so and gasped,
"Eggman!" The two ran down the stairs as fast as they could down the steps towards the villian.
"This is terrible! Ch-Chaos is..." Eggman said as the two reached him.
"Is what?" Knuckles asked. Kara's snowflake glowed once again and just as she turned around, Chaos attacked, knocking the three out.
Sonic...Tails...help...Kara thought at the last minute.
Kara opened her eyes and pushed herself up onto her hands as Knuckles said,
"Sonic...uhhh, sorry!"
"You...made it..." Kara smiled slightly as Tails bent down beside her.
"You okay, Snowflake?" Tails asked. Kara could only nod as the fox helped her up.
"Knuckles! Snowflake! And Eggman? What happened here?" Sonic asked.
"He stole my Chaos Emeralds!" Knuckles explained.
"And Chaos...is still alive!" Kara added as she leaned against Tails.
"What?!" Sonic cried, shocked. Eggman stood up with a grunt, saying,
"Aaarrgh! He's not gonna get away with this!" With that, the evil doctor ran away.
"Hey Eggman! Wait up!" Knuckles cried but Eggman only got in his Egg Mobile and flew away. "Sonic...Chaos is a fearsome beast!" Knuckles said, turning to his friends and sister. "If he gets that last Chaos Emerald, we're done for!"
"No need to explain, we'll get on it!" Sonic nodded, "Tails!?"
"Right!" Tails nodded.
"I'm going with you!" Kara cried as she became stable and stood next to Sonic. Just then, the red light flew around the two hedgehogs.
"Wha...?!" The two cried in unison.
"Aw, gee...!" Sonic cried.
"Sonic!" Kara cried in the same second as the light blinded them.
When the light faded, the two stood in front of the alter only it was...different.
"This place...it looks familiar!" Sonic said as he looked around.
"Yep. Knuckles and I have been here three times now." Kara agreed.
"It's not a dream, after all." Sonic cried, looking at the girl in amazement.
"Come on, let's go!" Kara cried as she ran forward.
"Snow, wait!" Sonic cried, running after her. However, Kara skidded to a dead stop in front of the alter. "Snowflake? What's wrong?" Sonic asked, concerned as he saw absolute terror fill Kara's eyes.
"The flames...I can't go through this again!" She cried. She was about to run away when Sonic grabbed her wrist. "Sonic, let me go!" Kara demanded.
"No way! You can do this, Kara, besides, I'll be here to help you if you need it." Sonic stated. Kara smiled a small smile. She nodded as she turned to face the alter again.
"Okay..." She whispered, "Let's go..." They found a group of echidnas led by Pachacamac, trying to get up the steps to the Master Emerald.
"Get out of my way!" Pachacamac cried angrily.
"No way!" A voice Kara recognized as Tikal refused.
"Did you hear what I said?" Pachacamac cried.
"I won't obey!" Tikal yelled.
"We need those 7 Emeralds to give us total power!" Pachacamac cried at his daughter. "It's power for the people. And...they are your people too, you know! We must get that Emerald!"
"Greed is our enemy!" Tikal said, "Once it starts, you will always want more! Please don't do this. I beg you!"
"Bah!" Pachacamac spat, shaking his head at his daughter. "I don't listen to the words of a child. Ready, men! Charge!" The echidnas charged as Tikal screamed,
"Father!" Tikal and the Chao she was protecting were knocked to the ground. Kara's eyes widened as she sensed the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald's power. Suddenly, she heard Pachacamac cry,
"Aaaaagh! It's a monster!" Chaos roared and Pachacamac cried, "Noooooooo!" Quickly, the two hedgehogs ran up to the young orange echidna on the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?" Sonic asked.
"Uh...I think so." Tikal said as she got up with Kara's help.
"Careful, you could still be hurt." Kara advised the girl. Tikal suddenly looked up and cried,
"Oh my gosh! No!...No!...No!..." Tikal's eyes traveled up to the Master Emerald, as if she had an idea and she ran towards it as fast as she could.
"Wait up!" Sonic cried.
"Tikal!" Kara cried at the same instant and the two ran after the girl, up to the Master Emerald.
"The 7 Emeralds are the servers." Tikal was saying as the duo reached her. "Chaos is power, enriched by the heart. The controller serves to unify the chaos." The girl suddenly gasped before continuing, "Uhh...The 7 Emeralds can change our thoughts into power. If this Emerald controls that power...Please, you must stop him!" Suddenly, the Master Emerald glowed, as if answering her prayer.
"Sonic! Snowflake! Wake up!" Sonic and Kara blinked as Tails' voice called them back to reality.
"Ahhh...I was on a snooze cruise, I guess!" Sonic said while Kara remained silent, now understanding everything.
"Good thing you're both okay." Tails smiled, "You just sort of conked out, there."
"Where's my brother?" Kara asked, noticing the missing echidna.
"Knuckles left already." Tails explained. Kara crossed her arms childishly and pouted,
"And he didn't even wait for me!"
"Come on! We gotta go after the last Emerald!" Tails cried.
?...Lead the way!" Sonic said.
"I'm right behind you guys!" Kara said as she smiled at her two friends.
"It should still be on board the Tornado 2!" Tails grinned.
"Then let's head over to it! Uhh...where is it?" Kara asked as she cocked her head to the side. Sonic chuckled and said,
"This way, Snow." The blue blur led the two tailed fox and amnesic hedgehog to Mystic Ruins and from there into the forest where they found the blue plane crashed.
"Look! It's the Tornado 2!" Tails cried.
"I'm guessing you made it, Tails?" Kara asked, remembering the plane she saw the last time was red.
"Yep!" Tails nodded, proud.
"Guys, let's get the Chaos Emerald and leave!" Sonic cried.
"Right." Kara nodded. The three ran towards it when a column of water appeared on top of the plane.
"What?" Sonic cried as Kara stumbled backwards to avoid the water and Tails fell to the ground. "No! He's got the last Emerald!" Sonic cried as the water cleared, showing the Tornado 2 didn't have its Chaos Emerald anymore.
"Now what do we do?" Tails and Kara asked in unison. Sonic didn't have an answer as did neither Kara nor Tails. Suddenly, the trio could hear screaming.
"That sounds like Station Square!" Sonic cried.
"Then let's go!" Kara cried and the trio ran towards the city.
When they reached Station Square, somehow Sonic and Kara ended up seperated from Tails. Sonic was avoiding the water that filled the now flooded city, courtesy of Chaos, who was now a giant water dragon. Kara easily figured out Sonic was scared of water but that wasn't a concern of hers right now. Now, it was Chaos she was worried about.
"If I wasn't just dreaming, that monster is a real menace!" Sonic cried.
"No kidding!" Kara cried when her snowflake glowed. "Oh great, just what we need." She groaned sarcastically. At Sonic's look, she pointed to the side and the blue blur looked as Eggman's Egg Carrier 2.
"Eggman!" He cried, "Looks like he's after Chaos, too!" Eggman tried to attack Chaos but the beast only blasted him and the Egg Carrier 2 crashed into the ground.
"And how'd that work out for him?" Kara smirked as she crossed her arms.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" Eggman cried as he flew away in his Egg Mobile.
"I've had enough! Who do you think you are, anyway?" Sonic yelled at Chaos. Suddenly, the red light from before flew out of the sky and flew in front of the hedgehogs.
"Sonic, look..." Kara gasped.
"Oh, it's you!" Sonic said as he held a hand out to hold the light. Kara stood beside him, staring at the light in awe as the final piece of the puzzle fit into place. "The one...who sealed Chaos...in the Master Emerald!"
"Tikal!" Kara finished as the light glowed brighter and the young orange echidna stood in front of the hedgehogs.
"My heart has always been in the Master Emerald, along with Chaos'." Tikal said, "Now he's filled with anger and sadness. And if it goes on, he'll eventually destroy the world, like he did before!" The Chaos Emeralds floated above Chaos until he roared and they flew away. One landed near the three and sparked until it lost its color. Kara ran over and picked it up as she looked at it sadly. "Look! He's absorbed the Emeralds' power!" Tikal cried, "He must be sealed in the Master Emerald, NOW!"
"How can that help?" Sonic asked as Kara stood beside him, holding the black Chaos Emerald still, though she looked at Tikal.
"It won't change how he feels inside, will it?" Kara asked.
"His heart will still remain in turmoil and his anger just won't vanish!" The two spoke in unison, "He'll just be trapped forever!"
"What choice do we have?" Tikal asked, sounding hopeless. Kara actually felt bad for the girl, she must have felt this was all her fault because she couldn't stop her father all those years ago and now history was repeating itself.
"Hey, Sonic!" A girl's voice cried. The hedgehogs turned and Kara was surprised when a pink hedgehog wearing a red and white dress with matching boots ran up with a pink bird, holding a Chaos Emerald.
"Amy!" Sonic cried upon seeing the girl, Amy.
"Here, take this!" Amy said, holding a black Chaos Emerald out to the blue blur. Just then, Tails and Knuckles dropped out of the sky, both holding more Emeralds.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Sonic asked.
"You got an idea?" Kara asked.
"Chaos only used the negative power of the Emeralds." Tails explained, "Sonic, you and Snowflake should be able to harnass their real power!"
"As much as I hate to admit it, I think Tails is right about this!" Knuckles agreed, earning him a smile from Kara. The people of Station Square began to cheer for Sonic, only knowing him as a hero and not knowing Kara at all.
"Negative forces aren't the only way to empower the Chaos Emeralds." Tails explained, "Our positive feelings towards each other can make them work. Our hearts together form awesome power."
"You ready to try, Sonic?" Kara asked as the blue blur took all seven Emeralds into his hands. Sonic nodded, smiling slightly at the girl. Suddenly, the seven Emeralds glowed gold and light covered the two hedgehogs. When the light faded, Sonic's fur was gold while his eyes were red and his quills stuck out more. Kara, on the other hand, was completely silver, her eyes white and her clothes an icy blue while her snowflake glowed brightly. "Let's go, Sonic." Kara whispered with a smile before the two flew into the air. They flew at Chaos as fast as they could, however the beast sent several rays of light towards them. Kara held out her hands and a powerful barrier formed, protecting them as they escaped the threat and entered him from the bottom before coming out his mouth, destroying him for a minute. When Chaos reformed, the two charged once again.
"I'll distract him while you get close!" Sonic said. Kara nodded and flew out of Chaos' perspective, watching as Sonic escaped each of the beast's attacks until Kara summouned Starlit Night, now a glowing silver with bright white stars and blue streaks, and sent out the strongest light attack she had, hitting Chaos in the back of his head. At that same instant, Sonic came out of Chaos' mouth. Chaos disolved again and reappeared somewhere else. Banishing Starlit Night, Kara said,
"I'll be the distraction this time!" Sonic nodded and the two charged. Kara flew around, keeping Chaos' eyes on her until Sonic came through his mouth again. Chaos sunk back into the water and came out once again.
"Together!" Sonic cried and Kara grinned as the two flew as fast as they could towards the beast of water. As they flew on the water, Chaos sent pink light towards them but the duo avoided it simply by adjusting their path. Chaos tried to stop them by releasing water tornados but Kara froze them, allowing them to enter Chaos and go out his mouth, destroying him for a short minute. Then, once again, he reformed. This time, as they charged, yellow light came towards them and Chaos blasted water out of his mouth. The hedgehogs avoided them as best as they could and went through Chaos again. Chaos roared as he vanished and Sonic and Kara floated down to the water below.
"There!" Kara pointed out Chaos' location and the two flew, knowing they could only win if they did this together. The yellow light and tornados came again but Kara's barrier held strong this time and they got through Chaos' body easily. The two flew towards Chaos as fast as possible as he reappeared again.
"Ready, Snowflake?" Sonic asked as they avoided the light and gysers of water.
"Ready, Sonic!" Kara cried as they flew out of the way of Chaos' blast and shot through the beast only to come out and destroy him, the blue light after they came out being a great indication of that.
"Hey, I'll play with you some other time!" Sonic grinned as Kara cried,
"We did it!" The two high fived as they landed on the ground and the Chaos Emeralds' power faded, leaving them normal once again. Kara smiled as she watched Chao approach Chaos happily. Chaos simply stared at them as Sonic, Kara, Tails and Knuckles stood above them.
"Chaos has changed again. This time for the better." Knuckles stated.
"Yeah! Super Sonic and Super Kara must have neutralized it, so it's nice again." Tails agreed.
"Aw, the Chao look so happy that he's back to normal." Kara smiled.
"These are the Chao you were protecting." Tikal said as she appeared in front of Chaos in a flash of light. "They stayed alive for generations and now live peacefully with humans. The fighting's over. Harmony's restored, and life goes on." Tikal was smiling at Chaos before she looked up at the four heroes standing above him and said, "Thank you so much!" Tikal suddenly floated into the air and held a hand out towards Chaos before they both flew into the sky and vanished in a flash of light. The whole city was silent, and both Sonic and Kara noticed that Eggman left peacefully. Finally, Tails broke the silence.
"All's well that ends well, right?" He smiled. He turned to look at Sonic but the blue blur was already gone. "Sonic?" Tails asked as Kara laughed,
"What a surprise!" The trio turned and watched as Sonic ran away, off on a new adventure. Kara heard a throat cleared behind her and turned to see the girl, Amy, approaching her.
"We never met." She smiled, "I'm Amy Rose!"
"Nice to meet you, Amy. I'm Kara, though my friends call me Snowflake or Snow." Kara smiled.
"So, Snowflake...what are you to Sonic?" Amy asked, sounding curious.
"Well, I'm his-" Kara started when suddenly, the blue blur himself ran up and smirked,
"She's my partner in crime!" Then he ran off again.
"Sonic! I didn't agree to that!" Kara cried, angry that a decision was made for her, even if it did make her happy. She turned to Amy and smiled, "Excuse me while I turn that hedgehog into a popsicle. I hope to see you again soon, Amy!" With that, the white hedgehog floated into the sky before she took off in a white blur. When she found Sonic, she did indeed freeze him, making him an ice sculpture. However, she did eventually unfreeze him and agreed to be his partner in crime. When she returned to Angel Island with Knuckles, which was now floating again, Kara was grinning, knowing her life would never quite be the same.
There's the chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed, I know I did! I want Kara to be Sonic's partner in crime because I feel she's a really powerful character and that Sonic would want someone like her by his side. Besides, she's the easiest to call when he needs help on a new adventure so she can come for all of them. Please review and go check out A True Home as well! Happy New Year!
