Love and Lies Part 2: Will Love Find A Way!
Julie-Su awakened in a room filled by the soft glow of candle light. She sat up on an elegant bed that was covered with satin sheets and velvet blankets. She looked down to see her vest was gone and was replaced with an elegant black dress with ruffles sticking out the back like wings that made her look like a goddess. Cautiously Julie-Su got off the bed and walked around the room, searching for away out. "Ah! My goddess, you are finally awake and so beautiful. Such a masterpiece should never go unknown." said a voice from the dark shadows high above. Julie-Su looked up at the room's ceiling, "Who are you!? What do you want with me!?" said an angry Julie-Su.
"I am Zagat and you are here to be mine and no one elses!" said Zagat, as he emerged from the shadows revealing his black echidna fur. "I hope you like the dress that was designed for you, my love. I had such a good time putting it on you. Don't worry I didn't violate you in your special places. But when we are wed you would want me to. "Zagat levitated Julie-Su into the air to where he was and passionately kissed her.
Julie-Su tried to break free of his grasp, but failed. "Zagat is just too strong. Oh! Knuckles, you're the only one for me", a tear rolled down Julie-Su's face as she thought to herself. "It was just as I imagined your kiss would be like. So soothing, so alluring." smiled Zagat, as he glanced into her eyes. "I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU! I ONLY LOVE ONE AND YOUR NOT HIM'' yelled Julie-Su, as she slapped him right across the face. Zagat looked at Julie-Su with a sinister grin and through her down onto the bed, and then he disappeared in a black flash of light.
*************************************************************
Back in Echidnaopolis, Knuckles raced to the EST building carrying in his hand a piece of black cloth that he found at Julie- Su's campsite. Never was he so worried in his life about someone so close to him. Knuckles, didn't want to think about whom or what kidnapped Julie- Su. Or even why they did, all he knew was that he had to save her and bring her back home. As he reached the EST building he was confronted by none other than Remington, whom already heard about what had happened through Archimedes was sent by the Brotherhood, to tell Remington and the others about what had happened. "Guardian, we've heard about Julie-Su and we are deeply sadden, but I promise you we will find her." said Remington, as he escorted Knuckles inside the building's laboratory.
Waiting inside the laboratory, were the Chaotix. Not one of them could believe that Julie-Su was kidnapped. Mighty looked at Knuckles and put his hand on shoulder as if saying we'll find her, you know we will. Silence was in the room the room until Remington spoke." Guardian, I was informed by Archimedes that you had some sort of fabric you wanted to analize. "Knuckles handed the cloth to Remington." All I know about it is that this fabric isn't from around here" said Knuckles, as he sighed. Remington looked at it and handed it to one of the scientists in the lab.
Archimedes examined the piece of fabric and noticed that he had seen something like this same fabric in a book that his Grandfather Deo had." This look like something I've seen in a book that Grandfather Deo had. If I remember right this piece of fabric matches that worn by a Soul Assassin." said Archimedes as he picked up the fabric to take another look. "Soul Assassin, come on do you expect us to believe this hooey?" said Vector, as he slumped into a chair. "We all know she staged the whole thing to rejoin her "friends", you know the ones who are half robot and half echidna." Vector! I'm warning you that if you say that about her again, I will knock you out cold for a week!" said angry Knuckles, as made a strong fist and shook it in front of Vector.
"Everyone just cool it! This won't get us anywhere! Now either grow up or just ...", before Archimedes could finish his sentence, Deo Volentes appeared in a great puff of smoke next to Archimedes. "Don't even think of taking them on Knuckles. Just forget about Julie-Su! There is no possible way to even save her. These creatures are more powerful than you and you haven't even mastered the power of the chaos emerald yet." said Deo, as he stood next to Archimedes looking at the piece of cloth in great fear. Knuckles looked at Deo, not even believing about he was hearing. How could he possibly give up Julie-Su? His love for her burned deeply in his soul. In great anger Knuckles, punched a hole into the cement wall of the lab." I will never give up on her. I love her with everything that I am and will become. No one will tell me what or when to give up!" yelled Knuckles, as he stomped out the room." And I don't anyone dare follow me. I'll do this alone! I don't need your help!"
**************************************************
Zagat sat in his throne room drinking a goblet of wine. The room was adorned with Goth like gargoyles and tapestries. Each one of those long flowing throw rugs displayed a scene from the past, a past of darkness, a past of great evil and horror. In the center of the entire room there glowed a rouge chaos emerald. Its color matched only that of darkest night ever to be seen. So dark that...so dark that a color that the power of good would fall to their feet." I must find a way to make her love me and only me. But how can this be possible? She loves that pathetic Guardain, instead of me. But what if she believed my lies instead of the truth?" Zagat took a drink from his goblet then got up and walked toward the black emerald. "Maybe just maybe I could use the power of this dark emerald to seduce and turn Julie-Su against her lover" Zagat chuckled, as he petted the dark emerald with great affection. "You'll always be my second love" whispered Zagat, as he kissed and fondled the emerald.
Zagat walked back to his throne and sipped some more wine. Slowly Vintage walked up the aisle. ''Master Zagat, we await your next orders." Vintage grinned as he bowed down to Zagat. "Just have your men keep an eye for the guardian and I want you to bring Julie-Su here where I can make her totally mine." Zagat chuckled at the thought of having Julie-Su kill Knuckles to prove her love for him. Vintage, got up and nodded to Zagat, then he walked away to post his men on guard and to bring Julie-Su to Zagat's throne room.
****************************************************
There was still some daylight left when Knuckles left Echidnaopolis, on his way to find more clues about why Julie-Su was kidnapped. All Knuckles could have thought about was why he didn't join Julie-Su in the first place when she had asked him. Knuckles was still a little uneasy about finding out that they were cousins. Who would have thought that this would be happening? All this went through Knuckles mind, but he didn't care. He didn't care of what people thought of them or how they thought of her. He loved her and she loved him, and that to him is all that mattered. Isn't it?
The air turned cooler as Knuckles went back to look for more clues. He was halfway to the campsite when a bright flash of light appeared in front of him. "I know you search for the soothing touch of the one who makes you happy, but your fight is not with the ones called Soul Assassins. Your fight is with the one named Zagat" said a voice that came out of a bright white light. "Who are you and what do you know about her?" demanded Knuckles.
After Knuckles had said this, the cool air suddenly turned a little warmer. The warm air felt like the warm rays of the sun mixed in with love from family and friends. "Answer me!" yelled Knuckles. "What do you know about her!?" The bright light questioned him as it changed formed. "Since you asked me about whom I am, then I guess I should tell you. They call me Kasumi and I am your Watcher as well as Julie-Su's. You might think of me as guardian in someway, but the only thing I can do is to guide the two of you down the right path. I have seen the future and it is good, but for the future to be, your love for each other must be strong. For the power of one's love is the greatest magic of all." preached Kasumi, as she took the form of a cat like angel.
Somehow by this Knuckles felt relaxed and at ease like whenever he was with Julie-Su. "You are the only one who knows how I feel about her, please tell me where to find her and tell me how to defeat this Zagat?" begged Knuckles, as he knelt down on both knees. Kasumi looked at Knuckles and laid her hand on his head "Dear child the power of the chaos emerald is part of you and your power, but combined with the power of love you can be assured you can defeat your new foe for sure. Once Zagat is defeated, and then you will no longer have to deal with the Soul Assassins" answered Kasumi, as she stroked Knuckles head. "But wouldn't they cause any further threat to anyone else?" questioned Knuckles. Kasumi looked at Knuckles, "I have already given you the answers you need. NOW GO! Remember this dear puggle. You must strike the dark emerald, only then will it truly be over!" with that Kasumi opened a portal of some sort into the realm where Zagat had held Julie-Su captive in.
