Teehee... wrote this bit just now. Hope you like it. I gave it a mysterious and (hopefully) dramatic end so that you readers cant wait till the next bit. :P
Lien-Da and Julie-Su were around a lot during the next few days. They seemed to be patrolling the streets in search of something. Sonic wasn't quite sure why they had appeared in the first place, but he was starting to doubt that they had come only in search of Knuckles. Could it be that the Wise Echidna's of Echidna Valley had predicted this? Why hadn't the Master Emerald shown any signs, then? Knuckles was walking around carefully now, hiding or jumping out of site whenever the two girls came close by. Tails wasn't around as often as he used to be either, but that was probably because he was bombed with questions about building something to get rid of whatever was on the mountain every time he tried to take a step out of this house. Sonic didn't see much of Amy either, but he didn't really care, there. Every time he could, Sonic put up a burst of speed and zoom through the streets to feel like his old self again. The things he had experienced down at the mountain kept coming back to him, and he just felt he should relax and think it over some other time. The mysterious song did not return for a while. It was one warm evening as Sonic was watching the news something weird happened that he couldn't resist remembering over and over again.
Sonic had invited Tails and Knuckles over for some tea and cookies (something he very rarely did), and both of them seemed very relieved to spend the afternoon and evening with their best buddy. Everything went well and they had a very amusing and fun day until they returned home to eat supper and watch the news. The real shock to Sonic came when the newswoman had just finished announcing the newest reports of the city.
"It has been reported that something, or rather someone, has been living up on the Emerald Mountain despite our warning of not coming near it. People presume that this is the culprit who nearly destroyed the mountain itself. Everyone relies on our town hero, Sonic the hedgehog, to save us all and rid us of this creature's evil. Yet there has been another report about Sonic running away from the creature with a look of pure fear on his face. If Sonic the hedgehog is scared of this creature, I'm afraid to say that there is no one in this city who may still help us." The newswoman made a face that consisted of mostly disrespect. Sonic had the weird feeling that thousands of others had the same expression at the moment. He tried to ignore the piercing stares of his comrades. "Latest news tell us that the Chaos Emeralds, all seven of them, have indeed been stolen. The one's found at the remains of the Chaos Emerald shire were examined and proven fake. The creature who faked these must be more powerful than we have yet thought, because the only known maker of a successful fake Emerald is indeed Miles Prower." Sonic heard Knuckles say: "Hey, you never told us that you were the only one who could fake a Chaos Emerald properly!" He heard Tails fidget with his cup and say: "You… you never really asked me…" Sonic continued to focus on the newswoman and what she was saying.
"… the Chaos Emeralds are the thing all of us need to fight the force of evil, and even the Wise Echidna's of Echidna Valley have sent out troops to inspect and find a trace of the real Chaos Emeralds, although those could be scattered anywhere. Lets hope there is still hope out there. We cannot give up when we have had so much success…"
There was a shatter of a teacup as Sonic dropped it, unable to do anything. The song had started again, this time louder than ever. Sonic dropped his saucer, too, when he heard the words: "We are closer than you think, Sonic. Follow our voices to lead you to victory and rid the world of Amnes. Please Sonic… the power of Chaos depends on you and gives you a sign… Good luck, blue hedgehog…" The voices were faint, but Sonic could understand every word as if it was spoken normally. He was up and running before Tails and Knuckles could exchange mysterious and puzzled glances. Sonic knew where he was going: over to the Emerald Mountain.
::dramatic music:: Dun dun dun! Wonder what happens now that Sonic's finally found out the meaning of the song? Don't worry, I'm not even past the middle of my story. I've still got a pretty important part for Lien-Da and Julie-Su! And of course, there Knuckles and Tails… then Amy (yeah, I'm still gonna mention her) and a lot of others.
Thank you for the reviews!
