Mission Seven: Sky Citadel

(Amy's Pov)

All thanks to MIAI, I was able to reach the Sky Citadel with ease. Out of all the places where the crystals would stay at, this has to be my most favorite besides Crater Lake. The city is beautiful. Even though there's no nature it has the neon blue lighting to show off its natural beauty. Cracks along side the concrete walls and columns. Golden designs in the flooring and on the walls of each building. Since this city is in the sky, white clouds cover the clear sky's all around. I know the city's power supply isn't from the crystal because it's still floating in the sky. This place is the most unknown to me. I'm happy to know I have Cliff's book, now I can finally figure out some of these hieroglyphics the Ancients left behind. Even though I can understand them rather easily, some have been quite difficult to understand. can easily return the crystal but I'm also here to answer some of these questions about them. Lets hope I can get my answers before Sonic and Shadow show up. Knowing them, they'll try to get me. Interrupting my research.

I walk in the main halls behind the main entrance. First return the crystal, then find my answers. Inside has floating platforms with light beams to navigate my way deeper into the city. They're all in place so I can just walk forward. Nothing to worry about this time. The deeper I go, the more hieroglyphics I notice along the walls. I try to read them but they're foreign to my knowledge. The last crystal is almost home. Then my mission is complete. I didn't need to run through the halls to reach my location. I prefer to take my time even though I'm under some time limit. Well more like three day limit. Stupid Heat! I wish I didn't have this problem. It would be much easier. Then I wouldn't have two guys after me.

Once I reached the center of the city, I spotted the location to place the last crystal. I leap from one platform to the next, along with some pink bars to get a higher reach. The crystal would be in place by some machinery that used anti gravity to keep the crystal from falling. Since the floor under it is destroyed, thanks to Lyric. I had to climb onto the machine. It wasn't hard but it wasn't large either. The crystal would be placed under the machine so I have to some tricks to get in. I found a suitable bar ledge next the side. I sat on the bar, facing the machine. I lean back as my ankles hold onto the bar. I bend myself far enough to reach the center. I summon the crystal and place it under the maching. My back arched as I stretch my arms. Thank chaos for my acrobatic skills and flexibility. I knew there was a good reason to keep myself well exercised. The crystal floats from my hands into the machine. Once in, I was satisfied.

I place my hands onto the bar and flip backwards. Then using my arms to flip myself into the air. Landing perfectly on the bar then onto the machine. Using my legs to jump in the air to reach the other bars. Then using my hammer to grab it and spin myself. Leaping from one bar to the next till I land on the ground. Too easy for me.

I was itching to find the answers I was looking for. I jog back to the halls that have the unknown hieroglyphics. I summon the Ancient book and start flipping through pages till I found the right one. I look at the language as I compare the ones within the book. What I found next, astonished me.

(Shadow's Pov)

I didn't have much leverage on where her current location was. I manage to pick up onto her scent on the edge of the shore. It was faint but enough to catch a trail. What confused me was the fact it was coming from the sky. Why in the hell was she in the sky?!

It didn't take me long to find out. Faker comes out of the village and heads to a tall machine. It took him upwards into the clouds. I used my teleportation and land at the destination faster. My eyes widen at my discovery, a city in the clouds. I didn't understand why she's at a place like this. The breeze felt nice hitting my quills. Then my nose picks up on the sweet aroma again. It's stronger than at the beach. Without hesitation, I went after it. It didn't take long for me to find her.

Neither did Faker. I saw him running down the hall behind me. I ignore him. I stare at Amy and was interested on what she's doing. She leaps from the bars to this floating machine. Then bends her body to place this crystal inside. The way her body bends, made my thoughts go wild. I could easily get her but I wanted to wait for the right time. Now with Faker here, it'll be harder to accomplish my task.

She uses her hammer to go on each bar till landing perfectly on the ground. She walks in our direction. I was behind a corner in the dark. The way she walks has me in a trance. The way her hips move with each step, they sway side to side with ease. Her body slightly bounces with each step, her quills would glide behind her, and her eyes read determination. Itching to complete a certain task that she's been after. Faker was right behind me and I swear I could hear him panting. It didn't help that my throat gives a slight growl. Both at him and at Amy. Faker was annoying me and I was itching to fight him as for Amy, I wanted to grab her before Faker does.

She stops at the end of the hall and pulls out a large book. Flipping through pages in seconds. In search for something. Then she looks at the wall with interest. On the wall was some type of images. I could care less about that but it seems to take her attention.

"They're hieroglyphics." Faker said to himself.

Hieroglyphics? What is Faker spouting this time? My mind was cut short when Amy spoke.

"So they used the crystals to produce and harness pure energy. Each crystal went to one Ancient. One only capable of mastering that exact element. They split their powers into eight crystals. Fire, electricity, water, earth, air, light, darkness, and poison. They unify with chaos energy to control their flow." Chaos combined with the crystals was

Where did the negative parts come from? This doesn't add up." She said in question. Flipping through a few more pages in the book. Then her eyes widen in surprise.

"Wait a minute, Lyric used that negative energy in his robot army and his robotic parts on himself. Without that he would have perished because of opening and trying to harness the crystals power, since they were made of pure energy." She paused.

Both Fake and I just stare in astonishment that she can read ancient language. She looks back on the wall to read the language.

"Eight Chaos Crystals harness the power to any energy of which they were created in existence. Each having a special ability that controls one or more elements. Once having all eight in one location, disaster will be upon who ever wields them...Wait if all crystals are together like Lyric had they would have either worked with or against him. How in the world did they accomplish that? Also that doesn't explain their disappearance?" She said to herself. She flips through more pages.

I've waited long enough. I teleported to her. Appearing in front of her vision. She flinched at my closeness. She had her guard down which gave me an advantage. Within seconds Faker appeared behind her. We were inches from her body. Her scent intensify's and emits the sweet aroma. Sending my body into a frenzy. I felt my instincts fuel in dominant adrenaline and determination to claim this female, especially in front of Faker.

(Amy's Pov)

As I'm reading through the book and the text along the walls. I felt a presence in front of me. A light flashed and I immediately knew who it was. Shadow was inches from me. I could feel his body heat upon my fur. I felt myself wanting to submit again. Then another appeared behind me. It was Sonic. Oh not good! They're inches from me and I could feel the tension in the air. Both wanted to take me and fight each other. The book in my hands was gone in seconds as use my hammer against Sonic's face and my foot at Shadow's feet. Twirling my body to hit both at once. Catching them both off guard. Both made a small noise from impact. Sonic was send flying as Shadow lands on the floor hard. I ran down the halls to try and get some distance from them once again. I swear this is getting old fast.

So much for my research. I'll complete it once my heat is over. I jump through some lights and land in an empty room. I heard Sonic run by. He passes the entrance of this small room as he runs down the halls. I lost him but where is...then suddenly a hand appears next to my head. I was facing a wall to try and hide within the darkness. Maybe loose both of them but I only managed to lose one. Thank chaos Sonic isn't a hard thinker. I felt Shadow behind me. Now I have a problem.

"You might have fooled Faker but you'll have to better than that to loose me." He spoke in a deep voice.

My voice locks in my throat. I was scared of what he would do to me. Knowing how close we are. His free hand lands on my shoulder again. My body flinched in his forwardness. Before I could protest, his hand travels down my arm. Sending shivers on my skin. My mind wanted him to not touch me but my instincts and body are enjoying the sensation. His hand then lands on my waist. Thank chaos I have my clothes on but that didn't stop Shadow. His hand goes lower on my hips. Giving a firm grip and pulls me towards him. I easily comply to his demands without thinking. My eyes and ears lower in submission. He growls as our lower half's connect and slightly move in friction. I could feel the vibrations through his chest. Without thinking I moan out. I was about to cover my mouth in shock, I didn't know I could make a noise like that.

His other hand went on my body, joining the other on my hips. Making me stop my hand going towards my face. His head leans onto my shoulder and inhales my scent. My body was tingling in his hold. His hands would wonder along my clothed body. They search for something. I couldn't figure what it was though. My mind went blank as he continues his advances. Then his mouth went on my neck and lightly bites. It was a small nibble but that sends me into a frenzy. I felt my body move on it's own accord. My hips grind against him as another moan escapes my mouth. He grunts in my pink fur. Then one of his hands went to my thighs. Rubbing my fur back and forth between his fingers. Then travels under my dress. On instinct, I arch myself on him and widen my legs. My body was giving Shadow more access to areas that are foreign to him. He licks my neck and bites again. His other free hand holds me still against his chest.

This sensation has my body become hot and in need for something. The more Shadow moves, the more eager my body feels. I couldn't grasp my body's movement. It had a mind of it's own. My instincts wanted him to just take me here. Care little if Sonic found us or not. Just the thought of him catching this scene, made me feel even more eager to follow Shadow's demands. I moan again as his hand slides along my white underwear. The words I wanted to speak, left me. The moans I give, I had to keep them quiet. Muffling them or quietly doing it. His advancement on my body was a nice feeling. I felt the tip of his fingers just go under my underwear. He was about to go even further till a loud shout was made.

"Amy?!"

It was Sonic screaming for me. That snapped me out of my trance again. I personally thank Sonic for bringing me back into reality. If I didn't come back, both Shadow and I would be having sex right now. A pleasuring shiver crawls up my spine. I shove Shadow off me. As he was away, my body yearns for him once again. My inner self yells at me for what I just did, demanding that I go back to him. I Ignore the cries of need and satisfaction. He growls at me again. The look in his eyes reads of hunger and desire. Turning his animal side into overdrive. His instincts turn himself into a lustful male. I leap out of the room and run again. Panting in the process from what just happened. The blush that was on my face didn't leave as my body was still in a slight daze from his wondering hands. I couldn't run far before they found me again. Both eager to get to me. I knew this wasn't a good idea but I had no choice.

I grab the telepot device and jump off the edge. They try to catch me but missed. Shadow instantly teleported along side me in the fall. He grabbed me but I kicked him away. Before he could grab me again, I teleported away. My location is unknown to anyone and I know I'll be safe from those two lustful hedgehogs. I used up the last teleportation on this device as it shuts down completely. I hope I made the right decision?
