Chapter 10: 2nd Chaos Emerald Battle
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, I do own Amber the Cheetah, Chief Solo, Kelsey, Star Frost the Leopard, Prince Sunflash and the place Tribal Plains.
There were massive celebrations all in Knothole. Frost, Sunflash, and myself had found the legendary Element Weapons. The news that I along with Frost and Prince Sunflash were reincarnated was still freshly in my mind. The creatures of Knothole were celebrating for the rest of the afternoon and morning. Mostly it was because we saved them from Dr. Robotnic. Prince Sunflash and I were discussing what I asked Sonic to help me with.
"You think it's a good idea I take lessons from him?" I asked.
"Of course, Amber" the Prince told me holding me in his arms "With Sonic's teaching you're fear in Dr. Robotnic will shorten a bit."
I sighed smiling "That I can take a few lessons with Sonic teaching me! It'll bring down my fear level in him."
"So right it will" Prince Sunflash said holding my paw in his own and then bringing me forward. My heart melted within me as he asked me "Would you want me to come with you, you know watch your first lesson?"
"Well...Probably not but thanks for asking" I told him with Sunflash I felt protected but I needed to show some more bravery which I had.
"Well if you need help just give me a call dear" he told me.
"I will" I said as we kissed.
So once we broke up our kiss, I headed down to where Sonic had requested me to meet him at. We were in the middle of the training grounds in Knothole. Sure enough Sonic was there crossing his arms then he smiled "Been waiting for you to show up Amber! Luckily you're right on time so it's time for your first lesson."
I turned to Sonic "So what's the first thing that'll help me."
"Sense your mother Star literally scared you about Egghead, it'll take some time for you to regain your courage. Sense she scared you as a Cub, my guess you'll regain most of the courage you lost during your days as a cub within about two months."
I sighed and he turned to me "It's not your fault Amber, you got to realize it, sure Egghead is a threat to anyone even his own allies, but without bravery and courage, you'll never face your fears. By two months or hopefully earlier, you'll regain some of that courage and bravery, I mean I won't be able to take all your fear away as you must remember he is after your fur but besides that, I'll make sure you won't fear Dr. Robotnic too much."
"Thanks" I told him again.
So we began my very first lesson.
"The first thing Amber, when your fighting against Egghead, is to imagine him as something you hate...Like for example Matriarch."
"One Matriarch is bad enough" I hissed looking at my feet.
Sonic patted my shoulder "Perhaps that wasn't a good idea for me to bring that up but do you get my drift."
"I do" I told him "But it's hard to do."
"Not when you put your mind to it" Sonic said "Come on Amber, think of Egghead as something you hate, Matriarch is a good example but think of him as another Hyena."
With this I sat down thinking at what Sonic had just said as usual the blue hedgehog was right.
"Do you think I've improved ever sense I've met you?" I asked him as I was still thinking on what to think of Dr. Robotnic asked. He must've seen me shiver at the thought because he was at my side.
"Honestly, yes Amber, you have improved, now even though imagining him as something you hate would eventually work but right now is scaring you. When I first met you, you were totally scared stiff of him. You even freeze up at the sight of him. Let me tell you that's not a good thing to do especially when he's after you. Now you don't freeze up and let's not forget! You tackled the Egg Hyena and what was most impressive is that you wanted to fight against it. That was the sign that told me you are improving."
I smiled at the hedgehog "Thanks"
"And I'm not the only one that sees it" Sonic said and I knew whom he was referring to but he continued anyway "Both your friend Frost and your boyfriend see this change."
I held my breathe Sonic was correct on that aspect. Deep down I knew that he was right. Both Frost and Prince Sunflash had told me that I was shortly but gradually becoming braver.
Sonic saw me hesitate but wasn't about to call it quits "So what do you want to imagine Egghead as? Someone to fear that will always freeze you in your tracks or someone you will want to fight?"
"Someone I want to fight" I told him nodding at this comment.
"That a girl!" Sonic said with a smirk on his face "So Amber think."
It was then that I was thinking about Dr. Robotnic. His name still sent me a shiver down my spine but I closed my eyes and tried to imagine him as a Hyena. Not specifically Matriarch, one was bad enough. I turned to Sonic "I'll think of Dr. Eggman as a hyena."
"That's the spirit!" Sonic said.
So with this in his mind he turned to me "Well now Amber time for some combat training?"
"Combat training?" I asked.
"Don't worry," Sonic told me "It'll be a breeze. Tails and Boomer created a computer stimulation that they want you and me to go up against."
Sonic and I walked into a testing room where Boomer and Tails waited for us.
"Is she ready Sonic?" Boomer asked "I don't want her to stop in her tracks once the stimulation is on."
Sonic turned to me "Well would you freeze up?"
Tails also turned to me "You don't have to do this Amber."
"I like what your saying Tails" I told him "As my people aren't fighters by nature, but if I don't stand up for myself...I'll never become braver, I must have bravery on my messenger missions once we get back to our regular lives."
"That's true" Tails admitted "You don't want to come to an enemy where you'd have to run from especially if the message is in enemy territory."
"So in other words" I told him "I must do this!"
I turned to Sonic "Let them do the stimulation."
Sonic gave them the nod as he and I walked into a room.
"So what's the stimulation?" I asked him.
"You'll see real soon Amber" Sonic told me.
I hated being kept in dispense when training. There was one thing I hated and that was when being trained...The suspense.
Sonic must've noticed it "I know you're not the type to like suspense during training but you'll understand why I'm doing this."
As we stepped inside the training area. I heard the doors slam shut. I shifted my head but Sonic cautioned me "Amber...Rule number one when confronting your fear, never look back." I looked at him he was giving me a tip but then I saw him smile "Not unless you're fast like me."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't my old nemesis and he's brought a certain cheetah for me to skin."
We turned to see Dr. Robotnic. I nearly coward with fear but Sonic saw me shivering but I drew my Thunder Sabers "That a girl Amber, control your fear. Anyway this is what we were wanting you to see, this isn't the real Egghead, it's a hologram."
"A fake version of him?" I asked in an understanding voice.
"Exactly" Sonic told me "Now that this is a hologram and fake you can overcome your fear of him."
For a while Sonic just watched what I was going to do next. He then made the hologram of the evil scientist glare at me. I heard him sigh when he saw my tail in between my legs as if he knew that was a clear sign of being afraid but I held my Thunder Sabers in my paws expertly while moving from Dr. Robotnic.
"Remember what we talked about earlier?" Sonic whispered to me and I nodded "Picture him as as a different enemy, one you aren't afraid of."
I could only nod at what he said but right now it was easier said then done.
"If you let the hologram of Dr. Robotnic touch you, you know what that would mean in real life right?" Sonic asked.
I nodded "Skinning."
The hologram of Dr. Robotnic wasn't the real deal but my heart was pounding but I didn't let it touch me. Instead I quickly dodged it's grab then swung my Thunder Sabers in retaliation of it nearly grabbing me again. Turned out even in a hologram he knew to stay away from my Thunder Sabers and began trying to rethink it's next option. It tried to come closer towards me but I swung my Thunder Sabers yet again. Each time we broke apart and it really did help me if I thought of Dr. Robotnic as a Hyena but every time it told me who it was nearly broke me out of my concentration.
Sonic just stood there watching my attempts until my fear allowed the hologram to grab me in the tail. That didn't bode well but need the less once I had my tail grabbed I knew I was caught.
"Let go of my tail you villain!" I shouted madly trying to get free.
Sonic then paused the stimulation and walked over to me "You did well for a beginner Amber."
"Thanks" I told him gasping for breathe as the hologram vanished then I placed my hand towards my chest as I was catching my breathe.
"But you have a way to go before you totally control your fear" he told me "Don't worry with me, you'll face the illusion again and you're more than likely to face the real one."
I turned to him "With my Thunder Sabers, I plan not to fail against the real deal?"
"What do you mean fail?" Sonic asked me "Just because the hologram grabbed your tail doesn't mean that you failed, in fact you would've failed if you just stood your ground and not do anything about the hologram."
I turned just as Frost, Prince Sunflash, Tails and Boomer came into the room.
"How'd she do for her first lesson Sonic?" Prince Sunflash asked.
"You're girl is getting there" Sonic told him "She still freezes up a bit but with a little more practice with the hologram Egghead and some more battles with the real deal, she'd recover most of that fear."
"I want to thank you for helping her out like that" the Prince told him "Even though I wouldn't mind the old Amber when she's afraid of him, I do like the idea that she will defend herself now from him."
Frost agreed as she was at my side "Soon that fear of Dr. Robotnic will be decreased to a tiny amount."
"Right" I told her.
It was then we heard Antoine come in "Sonic...Amber-"
Then he saw that Sonic, Frost, Prince Sunflash, Tails, and Boomer were looking at him "Oh you're all here! The Princess wants to speak to us."
"Alright were coming" the Prince told him.
The fox took off and my group was just about on his heals. We met up with Princess Sally Acorn and the Princess had Bunnie Rabbot with her.
"What's up?" Prince Sunflash asked Princess Sally.
"First of all as the Princess of my people, I want to thank you, Frost and Amber for saving us from Eggman's EggErupter, you saved everyone's lives" she told us.
At this we bowed to her respectfully and let her continue "Now I have decided where were going to keep the Chaos Emeralds that we fine."
This got everyone's attention as she turned to me, Sunflash, and Frost "Plus I have a new mission assignment for you three."
"What is it?" Frost asked in an exciting voice "You want us to take some more territory away from Dr. Robotnic?"
"No" Sally answered "But I suppose we could do that but I would like you three to take the Chaos Emerald to Tribal Plains."
She read out confused looks as she stated "We need to hide the Chaos Emeralds in a hidden place, even though Dr. Robotnic doesn't know where Knothole is, in time he is sure to find it."
"You're right" Prince Sunflash admitted.
"So I've done some thinking, even though we will keep the some of the Chaos Emeralds here, we'll always have at least one more in our possession where Dr. Robotnic and Matriarch won't think to find it, the solution is in you're home kingdom, I've already spoken to your father Amber while you were away searching for Prince Sunflash's heat axe."
I always enjoyed my time with my father so it didn't surprise Frost and Prince Sunflash one bit when I asked out excited "My father was here? Why didn't he stay for the night after all it was a long journey here."
Princess Sally giggled at my outburst "I can tell you're a father's daughter..." She then wiped a tear from her eyes "Not a bad thing, I was a father's daughter as well. Anyway I offered him to stay but he related that Chief Solo will accept the first Chaos Emerald and asuming we find a second one when we send you three back, he'll accept the first two Chaos Emeralds, Knothole will hold the rest. Once again just in case Dr. Robotnic comes in here looking for them."
"Alright" Prince Sunflash said he turned to Frost and me "Looks like we're on another adventure."
Frost smirked "Won't our parents be surprised when we tell them about our secret pass."
"They would be surprised" I admitted "Especially my mother."
"She'd have a heart attack" Sunflash sighed "Knowing how protective she is around you."
There was no reason for us not to accept turning back so we already agreed on the new assignment and the Prince turned to her "We'll do it."
The Princess of Knothole turned to me and mouthed out a command to uncurl my paw. Once I did she gave me the Chaos Emerald "I believe sense Amber found it, she should be the one to take it to Chief Solo."
The Prince turned to her "Once again I'll leave all the lions here if you decide to attack Dr. Eggman."
"Thanks" Sally called "You're leaving already?"
"We might as well" the Prince told her "The sooner we give my father the Chaos Emerald, then we'll continue this war."
So with me, and Frost at his side we arrived on the servace of Knothole where the Prince was talking to another lion.
"Amber, Frost and I are going back to our kingdom."
"What for?" the lion asked.
"We have to deliver the Chaos Emerald we-err, Amber found" Frost said to him "It's our new mission from the Princess herself."
The lion understood as Prince Sunflash turned to him "While Amber, Frost and I are gone, you're in charge of the defense, General Leo."
"Count on it my Prince" the lion said.
So with this in mind, we headed back to Tribal Plains.
"It's going to be great going back there!" Frost shouted "I can't wait to see our parent's faces when we tell them what we know and when they see the Element Weapons!"
Prince Sunflash smiled at her "That would be exciting."
We were just to the boarders of Tribal Plains where we heard a twig snap. Drawing our Element Weapons were turned just in time to see Matriarch without Dr. Robotnic.
"Matriarch" I growled "We've taken this area and you know it!"
"You've had this border area and I tend to take it back!" Matriarch told us.
"You and what army?" Prince Sunflash asked.
Matriarch turned to us "Oh, I've brought an army of Hyenas."
Just then we heard Dr. Robotnic threw her comlink "Back down Matriarch!"
"But it's only three of them!" Matriarch told him.
"I know but I've having trouble with the Freedom Fighters!" Dr. Robotnic said "Their attacking one of my factories and I'm dealing with-" there was a loud bang and then Dr. Robotnic shouted "Curse you Sonic!"
Matriarch sighed "Very well, I'll let them live and come to help you."
With this she turned and vanished with an army of Hyenas at her side although she got a good view with lions that were in the area.
"And so the coward runs!" Frost shouted.
I saw Matriarch turn to me "I'll be sure to pay you back Amber, one of these days, I'll be dragging your slain body to Dr. Robotnic, just you wait."
"I'll kill you before you can do that!" I hissed my response.
When Matriarch was gone, we headed back to Tribal Plain by passing our border and into what I refereed to as the safe area. It was then we heard something growl and it wasn't Prince Sunflash lying but it came from him.
"Sorry" he apologized my stomach's ready for some action.
"It is getting night" Frost told me "And it's best we camp for the night and you know what that means Amber. Sense the Prince can't hunt, then-"
"It leaves you and me to hunt together" I answered her "Exactly."
"I suppose it is light enough still for me to pitch in" I told her so Frost and I began walking to an open field where we plotted the next meal.
"Hey Amber..." Frost began.
"Yes?" I asked her while we watched the true animals move.
"I would think we should use our weapons just for attacking and defending ourselves from Dr. Eggman. I mean let's face it with you Thunder Sabers you could be the only cheetah that can take down a wildebeast."
"True" I told her "And that would spoil the fun for the chase. I mean if it comes down to it, I guess we could use our weapons but I'm in complete agreement with you."
We then saw a zebra "Well if we concentrated hard enough, do you suppose you could take down a zebra?" she asked me.
I nodded "Probably yes, but just in case how about you join in."
"Wouldn't say no to that" Frost said and we shook paws "Now let's get too it Amber!"
So with Frost at my side, the two of us got into position watching the Zebra. Now even though cheetahs normally stayed away from Zebra due to our jaws not being able to go completely across the Zebra's neck but we could take them down just that it was hard for us to do. Luckily I had Frost with me and her jaws could go around the Zebra's neck.
So just like other mothers taught us the two of us worked together. Now Frost was the more ambush type of hunter and to make my point I saw her hiding behind bushes and going over to one of the Zebra. I knew that just like in the African Plains that the Zebra tended to be more alertive then most of our other true animals that we hunted. Carefully just like I was taught by my mother, I crept over and waited to make my move. The wind wasn't exactly in my favor as I had to be extra careful not for it to lure my scent towards the zebra. Now there was a heard of Zebra ahead of me but they now knew a hunter was near by.
What they didn't know was that two hunters were nearby. Once one lifted it's head to check it's surroundings, I carefully hid behind a termite mound. Then it went back to grazing, carefully I poked my head up and began my run. I ran right towards the heard the Zebra herd looked up and then it was chaos. They ran but I was so much faster. I ran at one it panicked at the sight of me and ran into a ditch tripping itself in the process and then Frost struck it's neck. The Zebra tried to recover but I was now on it as well making sure it wasn't getting away.
When Frost and I were sure it died. The two of us dragged it back to the camp where the Prince had started the fire for us.
"Oh a Zebra good job ladies" he told us.
"Nice to see you doing something while we were gone" Frost joked.
So we had our meal and went to sleep afterwards with full stomachs. When morning rose the three of us headed to our rightful kingdom. There my mother greated the three of us "Amber? Frost? Prince Sunflash is the war over?"
"Not yet" Prince Sunflash told her "We're here to give my father a Chaos Emerald."
"That's right" my mother told us "Amber, your father told us that someone was coming to deliver a Chaos Emerald to Chief Solo."
"Mother" I told her "Is father with you?"
"He is darling" Star told me
"Well" I began acting a bit shy at what I was about to say let's face what girl wouldn't be nervous when going to confess that she was reincarnated. "Well" I began once again fidgeting.
I had my answer thanks to Frost "Oh, it's really nothing but we'd like to tell you and our families something that we all might've not known."
"Is that so?" my mother asked "Then by all means we'll here it. That is once you delivered the Chaos Emerald to Chief Solo."
So with this in mind we headed towards the palace where the Chief and his wife were waiting.
Kelsey turned to her son "Sunflash, it's great to see you back alive, how's your girlfriend? Heard she was injured."
"Oh mother" Sunflash told his mom as he hugged her back "Amber's fine, she's recovering from those injuries, and it's great to see you two."
"How does the war go?" Chief Solo asked.
"It's in our favor" Prince Sunflash said "Although you might've already heard about this from Star but if not here is news, the Hyena-clan has allied themselves to Dr. Robotnic."
"Yes" Chief Solo sighed "Star did tell us about that and I myself are not thrilled at this news."
Kelsey agreed "The Hyena-Clan should've learned their lesson the first time they fought against us now hopefully they will in the end once we beat them."
Prince Sunflash turned to me "Amber has something for you father."
I quickly turned around then retrieved the Chaos Emerald that was in between my breasts then turned and gave the Chief the Chaos Emerald.
"So this is a Chaos Emerald" the Chief said "Hard to imagine that this little jewel has enough power to cause major damage and panic when all seven of them are gathered."
The Chief turned to his wife "Kelsey I know you have a safe hidden, I want you to place this emerald in there."
"A good place to hide the Chaos Emerald dear" Kelsey said holding the Chaos Emerald as Sunflash turned "Father, mother before we go there is something Amber, Frost and I have to tell you and the rest of our parents."
"Alright son" Kelsey said "I'll just go for a few minutes to put the Chaos Emerald in the safe."
She disappeared then came back and we knew the Chaos Emerald was hidden. It was then our parents were coming in.
"Amber guess who" came a voice and I knew it was my father's.
I turned and ran into his opened arms "That's my girl" he told me as he held me hugging me in a lovingly embrace. How's life treating you ever sense you got injured?"
"Just great!" I said "I'm having a great time with the Freedom Fighters and my friends."
My father let go "Sorry I wasn't able to stay for the night but the Chief needed to know what Princess Sally planned. Anyway dear congratulations on helping Frost and the Prince bring down Dr. Robotnic's robot."
He noticed I froze a bit but recovered "I see that you're still a bit afraid of Dr. Robotnic but you're getting out of it."
"It's okay" I told him "That name still sends shivers down my spine but I'm learning from Sonic how not to be afraid of him or at least conquer my fear."
My father patted my back "That a girl."
It was then Frost's parents turned to her as Frost was telling them about her adventures "You shoud've seen Amber take on that Egg Hyena and even Matriarch. Man she was so great in that battle!"
"I'm sure she was and it sounds like you were brave to" Frost's mother told her.
"Just like a leopard" her father said "Brave to the end."
It was then Prince Sunflash turned to his father and beckoned me and Frost to be in front of him as he began "The reason why we called you all here is because we have retrieved the three Element Weapons."
"Element Weapons?" My mother asked my father.
"Weapons that are from Tribal Plains, they are said to be second to none from the Chaos Emeralds as they have the powers of an element in them."
"You found them?" Chief Solo asked his son.
"Yes, we found them one at at time" Prince Sunflash replied and at his command we drew our weapons, I brought out and held my Thunder Sabers expertly or well, what I hoped was expertly, Frost brought out her Freeze Claws and Prince Sunflash brought out his Flame Axe.
"Those are indeed the three Legendary Element Weapons!" Frost's mother said "I recognize them from pictures in our ancestor's caves."
"You're not the only one" Frost's father admitted.
"But" my father said "The Element Weapons can't be wielded by any ordinary creature, they choose the ones that wield them. So why is it that Amber, Frost and Sunflash are the ones they picked?"
"You're saying?" My mother asked him.
"If Amber, Frost and Sunflash were not the ones the Element Weapons chose, the weapons would've injured them or killed them as they reached for them" my father said.
Frost, Prince Sunflash and I exchanged looks and it was I that explained it "Everyone, believe it or not, we-"
Frost kindly interrupted me as I was trying to fight back the nervousness in my chest "Are the reincarnated from the special warriors that wielded them in the pass."
My father turned to me "Well, looks like your making history Amber."
I turned to him "I hardly don't understand it myself but it's true."
Prince Sunflash turned to his father whom with every other of our parents were surprised at this my overly protective mother Star was breathless and looked like she'd faint and she probably would've too had my father not been with her "Star, it's okay, how were we to know that our daughter would've been a reincarnated warrior from the ancient past? In fact I think it's amazing that of all of us in Tribal Plains that she is one of them."
"It's not that I'm not happy to hear that she's one of the warriors, it's just that after all this time I've been scaring her up to the point where she fears Dr. Robotnic really bad. Had I known this I would've not scared her instead would've encouraged her to fight him."
"Like your husband said" Frost's mother said "None of us were to know, all we have to do now is hope for the best, there is always a reason for reincarnation, now why destiny choose our children, the world may never know but now our children need our support."
"She's right!" Chief Solo said but before he could say more a guard burst in "Chief! Hyena's approaching our caverns!"
"What?" Prince Sunflash and Chief Solo roared "How'd they bypass our boarders?"
"Who knows!" the guard said.
"There can only be one reason for them to go that far even daring to do that" I told Chief Sunflash.
"You think there maybe a Chaos Emerald?" The Chief asked.
Frost nodded "Yes, that has to be the only reason why there here, to see if there is a Chaos Emerald."
"Father" Prince Sunflash said "It'll take some time for you and the rest of the lions to get to the cavern, Amber, Frost and I have been there multiple times as cubs so we know a short cut to it, allow us to go there and hold them off till you arrive."
"Alright son" the Chief said "I trust you."
"Come on, Amber, Frost! We've got work to do!"
"Right away!" Frost and I shouted.
So we took off towards the direction of the Caverns. The Caverns were a place Sunflash, Frost and I hung out in. We were fascinated by the images of our ancient people. If it had a Chaos Emerald in it, then we were NOT about to let it fall into enemy hands. We got there and sure enough we saw Matriarch. She was edging her worried people on.
"Come on now! We've got to get a victory somehow, so we've lost another factory to the Freedom Fighters! Dr. Robotnic is crazy for a win."
"But Matriarch, we are in the Big Cat's territory!" a Hyena told her.
"No butts!" She told him "Besides they aren't here now!"
"Think again Matriarch!" I shouted.
I saw my arch enemy's ears perk up at the sound of my voice and she turned growling "Where are you cheetah?"
"I'm always with my friends" I told her as her eyes made the three of us out.
"Grr..." Matriarch growled to her people "As always your bickering has got their attention!"
"What are you doing on OUR grounds Matriarch?" Prince Sunflash asked.
"What else searching for a Chaos Emerald" Matriarch told him "And don't tell me there isn't one here, Dr. Robotnic's scanners picked it up."
"We won't let you take it" Prince Sunflash told her.
"That's what you think!" Matriarch shouted "Hyena-Clan get them!"
"Don't you ever learn?" Prince Sunflash demanded as we drew our weapons.
I ran at a group of twenty Hyenas. Then as I went threw the group swung my Thunder Sabers. Electricity sounded as the Hyenas yipped and fell stunned. I then saw my hated arch enemy and she saw me. I came running over towards her and she charged me "You want a fight Amber, then bring it on!"
She pounced and I quickly dodged to the left swinging my Thunder Sabers. Matriarch recovered then jumped onto her feet. Then very sneaky drove one of her feet into the ground and kicked dirt into my eyes. I fell backwards trying to rub the dirt out of my eyes then I felt her pouncing on me.
"Cheep shot" I told her as I was still trying to rub the dirt out of my eyes.
"And now, I shall do to you what Eggman should do!" She told me and she snapped at my neck. Even though I was blinded a bit I felt her lunging at me with a bite. I quickly moved my neck and had her bite the ground instead. She was still on me and her strength was greater than mine as she placed her paws and back paws on my legs and arms.
"Now you won't dodge my death blow" She told me.
"I so will!" I snapped at her then I was able to bring up a paw and rub the dirt out of my eyes so I could see better. Then I saw her snap at me and I saw one crucial mistake in her lunge, when she did I noticed that her grip on me was light enough for me to free myself from her incredible strength. I let her know it by twisting my whole body causing her to bite the dirt again and slam head first into the ground. Quickly I then with my hind legs kicked her! My kick connected to her stomach and sent her flying backwards but she recovered just as I jumped onto my feet drawing my Thunder Sabers once more.
I carefully turned to see my surroundings. I watched as Frost seemed to use the trees and what ever she could use to her advantage and with one mean swipe froze all of the Hyenas she was fighting with her Freeze Claws "Good job Amber!" Frost said as she slashed out with her Freeze Claws at another Hyena. It took it in the back and froze instantly.
Prince Sunflash was using his strength to throw Hyenas off guard. Then with his Flame Axe stood watching as they all jumped at him. He waited till the last minute then with the incredible big axe, slashed out at them. There was intense yipping as the Flame Axe Connected and single huge fire swipe as the bodies of the Hyenas the Prince was fighting fell sliced in half and on fire.
I quickly then aimed my Thunder Sabers at Matriarch "Lighting Strike!"
My Thunder Sabers sent a powerful burst of lighting at Matriarch. The lighting connected to her chest and sent her flying. She recovered looking at the scene.
"It's not over! Yet!" she promised "Come on out EggSpider!"
The three of us watched as a big huge robotic Spider appeared.
"The EggSpider" Prince Sunflash said.
Then Matriarch jumped into it's cockpit "And now it's time to destroy you three."
"And you'll fall just like the EggErupter!" Prince Sunflash declared.
With our weapons drawn we charged the EggSpider. The EggSpider lashed out it's legs at the three of us and we well not easily dodged them but we did. I lashed out with my Thunder Saber's at it's first leg. The EggSpider took the swords and the electricity made it's way to the cockpit.
"Curse you and those Thunder Sabers Amber!" Matriarch growled "I'm sick and tired getting shocked by them.
"Deal with it!" I snapped.
"Oh" Matriarch began "I plan to"
With one mean swipe Matriarch used the EggSpider's two front legs as a weapon. The legs connected to all three of us and sent us flying but we recovered.
"And now" Matriarch began pressing a button "Time for a sticky situation!"
The EggSpider then aimed it's head and spat out threads at us. We dodged the threads but then nearly missed Matriarch pushing another button. Now the EggSpider then sported out missile launchers from the top of it's abdomen and fired.
"In coming missiles!" Frost shouted.
"I got em" Prince Sunflash said and with his Flame Axe he swung it and destroyed the missiles. The missiles were burnt up but not before they sent out webbings at us. The webbing hits one of my arms pinning them down to the ground.
"I can't move my arm" I announced.
"That's better than me" Frost admitted "I can't move my feet!"
"I can't move at all except for one arm" Prince Sunflash admitted.
"This is the end!" Matriarch told us "The EggSpider's missiles contain powerful webbing just like a real spider that traps all creatures except for the robot itself! By destroying the missiles you've been entangled in a spider's web and now for some more fun!"
She pressed a button and the EggSpider glared at me then spat out more webs at me. I tried to move my arm to counter the web but I was too slow. The web strikes me in the chest and I go flying right into another sticky web getting stuck to it then the webs began to spin around me forming a cocoon "Why didn't I think of this Amber, I'll give you to Dr. Robotnic this way."
"Amber!" Frost and Prince Sunflash shouted.
"I'm fine!" I told them as the webbing continued up towards my head "Stop her!"
"And now for some more fun!" Matriarch shouted she pressed a button then the threads Frost and Prince Sunflash were on became electrical and they collapsed.
"That's what it feels like when getting shocked my those Thunder Sabers!" Matriarch laughed at the two.
"Gotta plan?" Frost asked the Prince as the webbing was now over my head trapping me in it. Now I couldn't see well but I could make out them still and I could hear Matriarch's voice "Dr. Robotnic, I caught our cheetah!"
"You did?" came Dr. Robotnic's voice from the robot.
"I certainly did and I'm about to destroy her friends in the process, I'll give you Amber as a present once I defeat them!"
"Good job and don't forget about that Chaos Emerald now!" Dr. Robotnic's voice came from the robot's cockpit.
"You will not win!" Prince Sunflash said "Nor will you take my girl to him."
"Any plan?" Frost asked.
"Yes" Prince Sunflash said as he moved his one arm he could move "It's going to be tricky to wield the Flame Axe with one hand but, I do believe we can use it. Frost be prepared to make a run at the EggSpider to freeze it completely."
"Alright" Frost said "If I can move my legs."
I was able to make out Prince Sunflash raising his Flame Axe then he brought the Flame Axe to the web. The web erupted into flames. The flames stretched over towards the EggSpider or must've as I heard Matriarch shouting in pain as the flames burnt her. Then it happened the flames reached to the cacoon I was trapped in and freed me. I fell into the Prince's opened arms "I got you Amber!"
"Thanks!" I told the Prince smiling at him.
Now that I was freed we watched as the EggSpider was on it's legs trying to recover and it was on fire but the fire was getting out too. Then I watched as Frost charged the EggSpider "And now for an this Extension Freeze Claws!"
I watched as Frost increased her Freeze Claws then swiped out twice at the EggSpider, one left and one right. When she was at the end of the EggSpider the robot froze completely.
"W-W-W-W-What t-t-t-t-the?" Matriarch shouted and I could hear her teeth chattering "It can't be I was so close in winning!"
"So close doesn't cut it!" I told her "And now it's time for me to dust this robot!"
I got into position with my Thunder Sabers. Electricity sounded as I was gaining it up for an attack "This is for tying me up in a cacoon!" I shouted "Thunder Sphere Strike!"
I then formed a sphere of electricity and then slashed out with my Thunder Sabers. The attack strikes the EggSpider and causes it to explode into electricity and ice particles.
"Good job Amber!" Frost and Sunflash congratulated me.
"And that's another robot down!" I announced getting back into a defensive stance with my Thunder Sabers.
"Is everything alright?" a voice sounded.
"We are now father" Prince Sunflash said as Chief Solo, with an army of lions and some lionesses including Kelsey appeared.
When the explosion settled Matriarch was growling at us and Chief Solo turned to her "Serves you right Matriarch, surrender."
Matriarch grimaced "Looks like I have no other choice...Very well I surrender this fight, but mark my words Chief, my Clan will save me."
"I doubt it" Chief Solo told her as Matriarch lay down a sign of defeat and knowing that fighting thousands of lions including the Chief was an instant death.
"In that case" Kelsey told her "Consider yourself a prisoner of not only Tribal Plains but also it's Alliance with the Freedom Fighters."
Chief Solo beckoned two guards to hold Matriarch as Prince Sunflash, Frost and I took a look and found a white Chaos Emerald. We brought it out and gave it to the Chief.
"So the alliance has two Chaos Emeralds" the Chief said "Good job."
Prince Sunflash turned to me "We'll need a doctor to look at your chest, I know you took a web blast to it, you know just to make sure nothing is serious."
"Alright" I said.
The Chief turned to his guards "Take Matriarch to the dungeons and double the guards to make sure she doesn't escape."
The Guards nodded and one grabbed her by the ear while the other one pushed her roughly "Come on Matriarch we've got a new home for you. Time to put this slime ball away."
When the three left, it was the knowledge that one of our enemies were caught and a prisoner of the alliance and Tribal Plains. The Prince turned to his father "I'm taking Amber to the doctor, she took a blast to the chest."
"Alright son" Chief Solo said "Thank you for holding them off and defeating them."
"It was quite a show" My father told me although your mother..."
We turned to see my mother fainted "Fainted when she saw you in a cacoon. It was as if she knew you were going to be skinned."
"Well" I told him "Thanks to my friends I was saved!"
"Indeed" my father said he turned to Prince Sunflash "Thanks for saving my little girl."
"I'll continue to protect her not only as her boyfriend but also because she's a friend and your daughter. Trust me I won't let her die or get taken to Dr. Robotnic."
So Frost, Sunflash and I headed towards our own Dr. in Tribal Plains. Chief Solo turned to my father "Sense your daughter is still hear and Star won't go to Knothole for her reasons which I understand, I want you to tell Princess Sally Acorn we've got a prisoner and it's Matriarch."
"Got you" my father said "May I do it after we know if Amber's going to be okay."
"Yes" Chief Solo said.
With this my father once Kelsey revived my mother, walked with me, Frost, and Sunflash to the doctor's office.
