Amy: Where's Mai?
Sonic: Playing some video game called Kingdom Hearts 2. And got a little obsessed with it.
Mai: Hello? I'm here and I can hear you and who said that I'm obsessed with that game?
Sonic: Geez, when can you stop being so serious about everything?
Mai: Watch it!
Sonic: See? And now, I really need to go somewhere. *Runs off*
Mai: Come back here! *Runs off after Sonic*
Amy: Here we go…Mai doesn't own anything but the story.
Author pov. (Sacred Moon from Kingdom Hearts 2 music)
Back at Eggman's dark, big and gloomy castle in the land called "Dark Wasteland". (I finally decided to name the place where the castle is)
"Maxwell, you failed me! I thought that you can kill him but instead, they have the upper chance against you! Now those heroes are getting stronger than ever! I need a plan and quick!"Eggman yelled out of frustration. Maxwell didn't react to this and just said.
"I'm sorry your highness. If you look at your crystal ball, they're on the path to the volcano. I suggest a more powerful monster for that."
"A monster isn't enough this time. We need something with more strategy. Something with more…magic."Eggman's response gave Maxwell an idea.
"Then how about casting a curse on the volcano? That might catch the attention of the heroes and the curse will try to get rid of them."Maxwell suggested, Eggman got thinking.
"Then for the big finale the volcano will erupt! This will be the best plan yet! Hohohohoho!"
Sonic's pov (Adventures in the Savannah Kingdom Hearts 2 music)
Perfect, there's still sand here! Not to mention the land here, it's dry as a bone! Wait, I could even see bones here! What kind of place is this? The path to the volcano seems short because we can already see the volcano, it's huge! And do I see a dark aura around the volcano? Or is it just me? You know what, never mind.
"When will this path of dryness and sand end? It's like walking towards the sun in a draught."Amy complained. And yes it's THAT hot.
Dawn responded"At least we're near the volcano, just be glad of that. Still it is heating up after all and these bones look really creepy and scary and-"
"I get the picture! No need to say it like that, Dawn."Amy said. We're now in front of the volcano and I still see the dark aura around it.
"Geez, the dark aura seems really creepy."I said then everyone looked at me in a confused way.
"What dark aura? All I see is a normal volcano." Knuckles replied. They can't see it? How weird…
"More on this, how come you get to see something we can't see? And if that dark aura thing is true, prove it to us!"Does Shadow have to make things difficult for me?
Dawn shook her head and said… "No not that, what does the dark aura look like?"
"No no! How come you can see it?"Amy asked.
"Wait! How did you see it?"Rouge asked. C'mon…
"Hold it! Did you have some sort of a special ability?"Knuckles asked. Let's not get overboard…
"Do you think it's part of Eggman's trick?"Cream asked. Whew something I can answer…
"But what about getting to the top of the volcano to see if what you're saying is true? I bet that's better than asking the other questions right?"Um…I guess Tails is right…
"I agree with that, any objections?"I asked. Everyone else seems annoyed by this but they agree to Tails' suggestion, whew. But I noticed one slight problem…
"Who can climb a really high and steep volcano? Well, climb or fly."I asked out of the height of this volcano. From Rouge of course she can fly! Knuckles can climb rocky surfaces with his knuckles and…oh yeah, Tails can fly so…and he told me secretly that Cream can also so…yeah that's about it.
"Let me guess, Knuckles, Cream, Tails and I will go up to the volcano. So easy to predict if you ask me."Did Rouge figure out this whole person choosing thing? Oh well, Rouge, Cream and Tails' flew to the top and already arrived there. As for Knuckles he, climbed up the volcano and arrived.
"Do you guys see anything odd?"I shouted.
"The lava is purple!" Knuckles yelled. Purple lava!? Now that is weird!
"How can lava be purple!? Eggman's trick definitely!"Dawn yelled. Looks like something new has come up instead of some lame monster to ruin everything, if that happens, the adventure would end way too quickly!
"So now what? We really can't go until solving the weird mystery about this. Maybe there's more than just purple lava, looking around the volcano seems great isn't it?"Shadow suggested. I guess a suggestion like that wouldn't hurt, besides the only thing we've come up is what is inside the volcano, not on what's outside.
"Okay, just hold on a second…Guys! Stay up there, we'll look around the volcano, is that fine?"I yelled to them. The four of us split up to look around the volcano, the apparently cursed volcano. The Volcano is so huge, that it's difficult keeping track on what angle you are especially if you're trying to look for a clue like a writing, symbol, tablet…Wait, is that a tablet? It also has writing on it, it says…
The symbol of this volcano is hidden…To find it, look for the fire jewel trapped on the lava and the ground jewel hidden against the wall of the volcano then present it in the holes underneath this tablet. The symbol will appear and the curse from the black wizard will be gone forever. If you read this tablet, the curse will soon begin to become active and try to kill the person and his/her friends. The time is also short as when the purple lava starts to glow from faint to sun bright, it will erupt.
Symbol of the volcano? Fire Jewel? Black Wizard!? Eggman! Okay now I have the situation time to call everyone.
"Guys! Come here!"I yelled. Then Amy, Shadow and Dawn arrived.
"I have the situation, Eggman casted a curse on this volcano but you guys knew that, but there is a way to free the volcano from the curse, from this tablet, I read about how to free it so here's the plan: Everyone on the top of the of the volcano will look for a jewel that's on the lava-"
"Really!? That means we have to be careful, I'll tell everyone else about this."Rouge!? I thought I told everyone on the top to stay there! Oh well, she flew again to the top and explained everyone the plan.
"As I was saying…while they are doing that, we'll look for a jewel that is engraved against the wall of the volcano, got it?"
"Let's best be on our way."Shadow said as everyone went looking around again.
Tails' pov
I have a bad feeling about this; the purple lava actually looks like acid. What's the difference? Acid and Lava are both really dangerous but finding a jewel on top of it is also bad news. Like what Rouge said, look for the jewel and free the curse…
"GUYS! We also don't have much time either! If the lava glows really bright, it will erupt!"Sonic yelled. Seriously!?
"C'mon! We don't have much time!"I yelled.
"How about this? Cream and Tails, the both of you try and retrieve the gem then-"Before Knuckles could say more pillars of purple lava erupted, looks like we need to have someone here to lower the pillars. Just then a thick flat rock covered one pillar, it shook but it erupted again. To me, the rocks can only hold the pillars for a short time so we need to hurry up but first thing is first, where is the gem? I understand about the on top of the lava part but where exactly is it? I wonder… Then something caught my eye, I saw something shining at the middle of the lava, no doubt that's the gem. Well the big trouble is that the pillars of purple lava leave no space between so…hey and how did that rock appear in the first place wait…Knuckles must have got it from the rocky surface of the volcano and Rouge must have kicked it to the lava…I have a plan!
"Okay guys I have a plan…"
Sonic's pov.
You think that we have the easier job? The ground jewel is meant to be against the wall but nothing is shining! More likely, whenever something weird has come up, the thing we're looking for is there.
"Hey, I found something!"Amy yelled. We all ran to where she is and found one odd pattern. It's a vine like mark but its colored black instead…what does this mean?
"When we looked around the volcano, this never showed. This must be what the tablet means, when you read it, the curse will become active."Amy's right, it did start so wherever the jewel is, it must have something to do with this mark. So what to do with it? I touched it a little but didn't react.
"So now what?"I said as I turned back from the mark.
"Now what? I say look behind you."Shadow said to me. I looked back at the vine pattern once more and found out that it's glowing from black to purple. The mark disappeared and a small vine emerged. At first it didn't move but then it rapidly grew from the volcano until it's really long that I really can't see where it ended. But I noticed something, when it grew something shiny is at the tip of the vine, that must be the jewel. But from the vain, many small vines grew from the big one. Since it's really far, looks like I'll go.
"Okay, I'll go."
"But first, let me and Dawn do something to make it easier."Shadow and Dawn started aiming. The small black vines moved like a snake. They both fired and the vines from here shot done but not all of them are gone, the arrows stopped at the middle. Time for me to start.
"Be careful Sonic."Amy said.
"Don't worry I'll be back before you know, wish me luck!"I said as I ran towards the vine.
Sonic: Sometimes I don't get you.
Mai: I know, one user told me to update soon but three weeks or so doesn't mean soon so I'm really sorry!
Sonic: Anyways vote on the poll and read and review.
