Flood Fight
(Gotta Go Fast!)
(Ayla's Theme song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
(Ayla's POV)
*Me, Sonic, & Tails were walking through the woods when we ran into Knuckles*
Tails: It's Knuckles!
*We then saw Eggman knocked out in front of him*
Sonic: Eggman!
Ayla: Knuckles! What did you do to him!?
Knuckles: Nothing, I found him this way.
*Tails poked Eggman's leg with a stick & he jumped when Eggman got up*
Tails: Wah, he is alive!
Dr. Eggman: Of course I am.
Sonic: What happened?
Dr. Eggman: Chaos turned against me.
Ayla: How come?
Dr. Eggman: Because . . . It wants to use the power of the Chaos Emeralds all for itself.
*Knuckles ran up & grabbed Eggman by the collar*
Knuckles: Tell us where Chaos is or else!
*Sonic took Knuckles' hands off*
Sonic: Take it easy, Knuckles!
Dr. Eggman: How dare you threaten me! I'd love to teach you a lesson, but unfortunately, I have to fly.
*Suddenly, Eggman started going up*
Tails: He's getting away!
*We looked up & saw Eggman hanging from a hot air balloon being piloted by Decoe & Bocoe*
Decoe: OKAY, START REELING HIM UP.
Bocoe: THE WENCH IS JAMED.
Decoe: WE CAN PULL HIM UP OURSELVES.
Bocoe: NO WAY. ALL THAT WEIGHT WILL BURN OUT OUR MOTORS
Dr. Eggman: Don't just leave me hanging here like a salami!
*I tried to hold in my giggles, but it was very difficult*
Ayla: You look more like a pinata!
Dr. Eggman: Yeah! Yeah! Laugh it up while you can, you little brat!
Decoe: TRY NOT TO GET AGITATED, THE CABLE COULD BREAK.
Bocoe: JUST ENJOY THE RIDE.
Dr. Eggman: There's no time to lose, my plans for world domination depend on Chaos! We have to track down that renegade right away!
Decoe: ROGER.
*They started to fly away with Eggman still under the balloon*
Knuckles: If Eggman was telling the truth, we have to find Chaos fast and stop it.
Sonic: You're right. *suddenly, me, Sonic, & Knuckles were surrounded by a white light* What's going on here!?
*I covered my eyes*
(Vision)
*When I opened them, all 3 of us were in front of the Master Emerald shrine in Mystic Ruins*
Knuckles: Quiet. I've been here before. We're back in the past.
Ayla: Look!
*Sonic & Knuckles looked to where I was pointing. There was the Echidna girl standing in front of the shrine with her arms spread wide & a few Chao with her. In front of her was an army of Echidnas. Leading the army was the male echidna from the first vision*
Pachacamac: Tikal, the clan needs those seven Emeralds. It is the only way to protect ourselves from our enemies.
Tikal: But taking the Emeralds isn't the way! Please stop! You'll regret it forever!
Pachacamac: The clan has made its choice and we'll seize the Emeralds now! Warriors, attack!
Tikal: Stop it!
*The Echidnas behind him ran up the stairs towards the top of the shrine, knocking Tikal over. The Chaos Emeralds surrounded the Master Emerald as the Echidnas reached the top. Suddenly, the Chaos creature appeared in front of them*
Pachacamac: What is this thing?
*The creature raised it's hands & the Master Emerald, along with the Chaos Emeralds began to glow brightly. I felt my heart pounding & my head started to hurt so much it felt like my skull was going to crack wide open. I screamed & fell to my knees*
Sonic & Knuckles: Ayla!
*They both ran to me. We then looked back up at the shrine & saw that all the Echidnas had vanished*
Knuckles: They're gone. All of them.
Sonic: Not all. *he ran up to Tikal, who was passed out on the ground* Are you okay?
*She woke up & looked at the shrine*
Tikal: I knew this would end in disaster. . . Why, Father, why didn't you listen to me!?
*She stood up & walked up to the Master Emerald*
Sonic: Hey, hold on!
*All 3 of us followed her. When we got to the top, she turned to us*
Tikal: You must understand. The servers are the seven Chaos. Our hearts intensified their power, the controller serves to unify the Chaos. The seven Chaos Emeralds take what is in our hearts and turn it into power. But if the heart that wields the Emerald is full of nothing but anger and fear...then that power will bring pain and destruction to the world. Oh, please, you must stop Chaos!
*The Master Emerald began to glow really bright*
(Reality)
*When the light faded, we were back in the forest with Tails*
Knuckles: She's gone.
Sonic: Knuckles, did you understand what she meant about Chaos?
Knuckles: We have to stop Chaos from getting hold of the last Emerald.
Chris:*off-screen* Hey, you guys!
*We all turned around & saw Chris running towards us*
Chris: Look!
*My went wide with terror. He was holding the last Emerald. Knuckles jumped back in fear & shock*
Ayla: Chris! Put that Emerald down now!
*Suddenly, a whirlpool of water shot out of the ground, trapping Chris*
Sonic & Ayla: Chris!
*We both ran towards the whirlpool & grabbed Chris by the hand*
Sonic: Hold tight, buddy!
Ayla: Don't let go!
*Suddenly, the Chaos Emerald fell out of Chris' hand. Knuckles ran towards us*
Knuckles: Just hang on! *he jumped up & using a powerful kick, he sliced through the water. Sonic got Chris out. the last Emerald fell to the ground & it suddenly split open. Tails flew up. then the bag, holding the final shards of the Master Emerald fell into a crack. water began to rise & then fell back again* So Chaos has all seven Emeralds now . . .
Chris: I'm sorry, Knuckles. It's all my fault.
Knuckles: That creature is more powerful than all of us. It can't be stopped.
Sonic: But we have to try.
*We were now flying back towards Station Square (me on my board, Sonic was running on the highway & everyone else in the X Tornado)*
Chris: We've gotta stop Chaos somehow! Faster, we don't have much time!
Tails: Better hang on!
*When we made it back to the city, it was in ruins. Luckily, it looked like all of the citizens had made it to safety. A few fighter helicopters fired at the Chaos creature (who had grown to incredible size). They then fired missiles, but they just went inside it*
Ayla:*in her mind* Well, it is made of water.
*The creature launched the missiles back at them. They hit the helicopters, thankfully the pilots got out okay. I followed after Sonic*
Sonic: If we don't get to the city fast, there won't be anything left to save!
*We both went towards him. Sonic went into spin dash mode & I got out my Ring Blades. While I sliced at Perfect Chaos with my blades, Sonic was getting knocked away by it's tentacles. He then went inside Perfect Chaos only to get spat back out. Perfect Chaos then created a tidal wave, but Sonic jumped on a piece of drift wood & rode the wave. I was right beside him*
Chris:*off-screen* Sonic!
*We looked up & saw the X Tornado flying towards us. Sonic took Chris' outstretched hand*
Chris: You alright?
Sonic: Yeah. Thanks Chris.
Chris: You think . . . We'll win?
Sonic: It'll turn out okay.
Ayla: But Chaos is more powerful than ever, so we'll need plenty of help.
Sonic: Can we count on ya?
Chris: You bet!
Sonic: Okay then!
Ayla: Let's do it!
*We flew back towards the Monster. It fired blasts of water at us. We dodged them all. Suddenly, a giant shadow fell over us*
Sonic: What's this!
*It was another Egg Carrier*
Dr. Eggman:*off-screen* Back off, Sonic and Ayla! Chaos double-crossed me! Now it's payback time.
Sonic: Eggman!
Ayla: He's fighting on our side now? This is new?
Decoe:*off-screen* ALL ATTACK SYSTEMS ARE ONLINE.
Bocoe:*off-screen* BLAST CHARGES ARE LOADED & READY TO FIRE AT YOUR COMMAND.
Dr. Eggman:*off-screen* You're through, Chaos! The price of disloyalty to the Eggman Empire is annihilation! Front missiles fire!
*The Egg Carrier fired missiles at Perfect Chaos, but it put up a shield. It then roared & destroyed the Egg Carrier with some kind of laser breath. Eggman, Decoe, & Bocoe all away in the Eggmobile*
Ayla: As if that was a surprise.
Sonic: Well great! How are we gonna beat it now!? *suddenly, we were surrounded by a ball of white light. it set us down on what was left on the highway* This just keeps getting freakier and freakier.
*When the light faded, to my surprise, the Echidna girl we have been seeing in our visions appeared in front of us*
Ayla: It's you! Tikal!
Tikal: Since the day my Father's invasion, I journeyed across the seas of eternal time with Chaos to help keep its power under control, but something woke Chaos with a plan to use its power for an evil purpose.
Sonic: Eggman! He must've uncovered a way to revive Chaos somehow so he could use it to take over the world!
*Suddenly, Perfect Chaos spat out then seven Chaos Emeralds. One of them landed at Tikal's feet & lost it's glow. She fell to her knees & picked it up*
Tikal: Chaos has now drained all the Emeralds of their power.
Sonic: What!?
Tikal: Ever since my clan attacked the temple, Chaos has known only hate and anger. It will use the power of the seven Emeralds to destroy this world. We have to seal Chaos back in the Master Emerald before it's too late.
Sonic: It won't work.
Tikal: Huh?
Ayla: Sonic's right. If we seal it again, sometime in the future this whole thing will happen all over again.
Sonic: We have to solve this problem once and for all.
Tikal: Yes, but how?
*We stood in silence for a few seconds*
Cream: Mr. Sonic! Miss Ayla! Look, I have something for you.
*She ran up to us with the yellow Chaos Emerald. Chuck, Ella, & Tanaka were right behind her*
Chuck: Cream got the Emerald back after Chaos let them all go.
*Amy then ran up to us with 3 little birds flying over her head (blue, pink, & gray). She was holding another Emerald*
Amy: Hey Sonic, Ayla!
*Big then walked up to us a third Emerald*
Big: I finally got back the pretty rock that Froggy swallowed! You can borrow it if you want to.
*Knuckles & Tails came up with Eggman, Decoe, & Bocoe behind them*
Tails: Sonic, Ayla, if you collect all the emeralds, you both can defeat Chaos!
*Knuckles handed us the red Chaos Emerald*
Knuckles: Here. You two have more experience at being the heroes.
Sonic: Thanks Knuckles.
*Knuckles turned to Eggman*
Knuckles: Eggman!
Dr. Eggman: Oh alright. Take it.
*He held out the cyan Emerald*
Tails: We need one more.
Chris: Guys! Look what I found!
*He started running towards us, but then he tripped. Sonic & I ran towards him*
Sonic: Chris!
Ayla: You okay?
Chris: Guys, look!
*He held out the last Chaos Emerald*
Sonic: We knew you'd come through!
*All around us, I could hear people cheering*
Jake: Go get em, guys!
Izzy: Sick it to em!
Tyler: We know you can do it!
*Suddenly, the Emeralds began to glow*
Chris: The Emeralds are getting their power back!
*One by one, the Emeralds floated & began to gather around me. Just then, I started glowing & then I heard voices in my head*
Chaos Emeralds: Our protector. Our protector.
Ayla: What do you mean protector?
Knuckles: Ayla, what's wrong?
*I was about to answer, but then I heard a roar*
Ayla: I tell you later. Right now, have a monster to stop. *to turned to my brother* Ready to rock, bro?
Sonic: Ready to roll, sis.
*He walked towards me. Then we both rose up into the sky & turned into our super formes*
Tikal: I thought the power of the Emeralds could only be awakened by hate and anger.
Knuckles: There are other feelings that are even more powerful.
Tails: When everybody gave their Chaos emeralds to Sonic and Ayla, it was because of our friendship. Caring is stronger than hate, and that's how they're gonna beat Chaos!
*Sonic & I both flew towards Perfect Chaos. It roared & put up it's shield. It then sent towards of water towards us, but we destroyed them. The Monster sent a blast towards us, but we dodged. It sent out another blast towards our friends, but we protected them together*
Chris: Sonic! Ayla!
Sonic: You can't stop us!
Ayla: Victory will be ours!
*The tried to hit us with a tentacle, but Sonic grabbed it. It then disappeared in his hands*
Sonic: Is that the best you can do!?
Ayla: Bring it on!
*Perfect Chaos sent out another blast, but we both flew right through it & then went inside the creature. We flew out. The creature turned gold & then exploded behind us as we landed on the street. The crowd went wild. We both then turned back to normal. Just then, Chaos appeared. But it was back in it's first form*
Knuckles: It wasn't destroyed! It survived!
*Cheese flew up to him*
Cheese: Chao-Chao Chao-Chao Chao-Chao!
*Just then, more Chao appeared out of the water around Chaos*
Knuckles: But it doesn't look angry anymore.
Tails: Yeah. If you ask me Chaos looks kind of happy.
Cream: Wow, look at all those Chao!
Chris: Wonder where they came from?
Amy: It looks to me like those Chao are friends of Chaos you came here to see him.
*Tikal then walked up to Chaos
Tikal: These are the Chao you kept watch over. They're coming into this world now. The Chao will live here in peace and you can be at peace now too. Time to go. *she spread out her hands. then she & Chaos both flew up towards the sky. as they went up, she turned to look at me* Best of luck, Chosen Protector.
Ayla: Huh? What do you mean?
*She just smiled at me
Tikal: Your brother and Knuckles will have all the answers*
*She & Chaos flew up into the sky & disappeared*
Tails: Where'd Eggman go?
Mr. Tanaka: I think he escaped while we were distracted.
Knuckles: Yeah, well he won't get away next time.
*Chris walked up to me & Sonic*
Chris: You did it Sonic, Ayla!
Sonic: We all did.
Ayla: Together.
*We both gave Chris a thumbs up & he returned it*
*That night, we were all gathered in the living room of the Thorndyke Mansion. I had a few questions for Sonic and Knuckles*
Ayla: All right you two, I want answers. What did Tikal mean by I was the Chosen Protector?
*Sonic looked at Knuckles, who nodded. Sonic then sighed & turned to me*
Sonic: Ayla. This may seem off topic, but do you remember how we first met Knuckles?
*I looked at him confused*
Ayla: Yeah. Eggman tricked him into thinking we were going to steal the Master Emerald. Why?
*I could hear Chris snickering behind me*
Sonic: Well, that's not entirely true.
Ayla: Huh?
*Sonic then let Knuckles take the reins*
Knuckles: You may not remember, Ayla. You were a baby the first time we met.
*My eyes went wide*
Sonic: When you were born, you were very sick and very weak. Most babies cry when their born, but you were born as if you were asleep, your eyes closed. The Doctors did everything they could. They told our Mom and Dad you weren't going to make it. They desperately searched for a way to save you. That was how they discovered the Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds in an old scroll. They then brought us to Angel Island. At that time, Knuckles' Dad was the Guardian of the Master Emerald. He placed you in front of the Master Emerald with the seven Chaos Emeralds around you. The Emeralds began to glow. When the light faded, you opened your eyes and began to cry. It was then we all knew that you would be okay.
Knuckles: My guess is that, at the same time. The Master Emerald chose you to to protect the Chaos Emeralds. Which is why you have the power to sense them when they activate.
*I just stood there, completely speechless*
