~*Amethysts, Emeralds and....Love?*~

*Yawn* Chapter two shall now be written. Bet you're dying to find out what happens eh? Yes? Well, just shows how much cooler you are than other peoples! *Pulls a fake ash hat on her chao head* Lets get it on!

~*Chaper Two*~

.......a strange creature....Knuckles and Chaos stared. The creature stared back. It had a very bedazzled look on it's face. " Korishu Kono sachiwa cantas!" said the thing. The thing was yellow with long dreadlock-like fur over it's head. His muzzle, the end of his Paws, Tail and hair was tipped in brown. On his chest was a Dark-brown half moon crest. He had an unusual thing about him too: he only had 3 fingers on each hand and 3 toes on each foot.

Chaos Zero walked up to the thing. "Ka zau zukasans erizsza?" he said in Old Chaotic talk "Or do you understand English?" The creature's blue eyes widened and it said "English? Yeah, I do. What's it to you?" Then it's eyes widened even further when it saw Knuckles. "Are you.....Me?....But you're red and have quills..." he stammered. "Excuse me, I hope I'm not interrupting you but, who are you and why are you here?" asked Knuckles impatiently.

The creature looked at him and said "My name is Erchine. I am an Afghan Hound. Guardian of the Original Amethyst and Born Battle Mage of the Takketa tribe! But why am I here? I do not know. Am I on planet Zeen?" "Planet Zeen??!!" exclaimed Chaos and Knuckles. "Alas. I am lost....still, I still have the Amethyst" he said as he pulled a purple gem out from between two of his large paws and said some strange language and it maximised to size of the master Emerald's proper size! Knuckle's jaw dropped open. This was the same purple Jewel in his dreams! "How did you get that?!" said Knuckles as he tried to snatch it from the Dog's oversized paws. Erchine backed away from Knuckles and with an Acidic look on his face snarled "This is my tribe's Amethyst! To be precise, the Original Amethyst! It contains powers that neutralize the eight celestial Novas, and is overall, a very powerful gem!" Knuckles was stunned. "That is nearly the same as my Emerald! But what are the Eight Celestial Novas?" he asked. "The Eight Celestial Novas are powerful gems in the shape of stars. They can cause chaos or miracles, and they all have minds of their own" answered the blue-eyed hound.

Just then, Rouge and Amy came to. Amy's eyes went on auto-chibi and she ran up to Erchine and began hugging him. "Oh Knuckles! What happened? I was so scared! Did you save me? Oh thank you!" said Amy with her eyes shut tightly. Erchine's eyes wavered as he looked at the twelve-year old hedgehog hugging him. "And who are you?" asked Erchine. "Don't you remember me Knuckles?! Amy? Your true love?" said Amy, still hugging the bemused dog who was looking at....things. "*Ahem*, Amy...I'm Knuckles, not him!" said Knuckles. Amy opened her eyes. "Uhh......sorry!...heeeey...you look like Knuckles!" said Amy as she released her grip. "So they tell me....but I bet we're nothing alike!" said Erchine, in denial.

Rouge got up and stared from Erchine to Knuckles, back and forth for a while. "Who in heck is that?!" she said after a minute. Chaos Zero, who was advancing to ward with a chaos tablet (Chaos tablets make you wanna...*Ahem*) said "he is Erchine, some screwy Knuckles look alike from some planet called Zeen. Now......" Rouge quickly dodged Chaos Zero's lunge and kicked the tablet out of his hand. The tablet went rolling off the edge of the floating island. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Chaos 0 "That was the only one I had with me!" "Ahhh...how sad" mocked Rouge.

Rouge walked up to the Amethyst-bearing dog. Erchine's eyes went wide as he saw rouge (you can guess why. He and Knuckles are VERY alike, physically and metally). "So you're the one that caused the explosion of light?" asked Rouge. "Cozone? What are you doing here? You look different..." Murmured Erchine as he looked at the plum-purple winged bat. "Cozone?! I am Rouge the bat....who is Cozone?" questioned Rouge. The afghan blinked his eyes and looked closer at her. "Rouge the bat?....sorry, I mistook you for a cat,Cozone, artifact and jewel thief" apologized Erchine. "Cozone...the cat.....jewel thief?! I am the only jewel thief around here!" said Rouge, confused. "On my planet, Zeen, Cozone is a notorious thief and also a reporter for a world-wide newspaper. She is..or was...after my Amethyst!" growled Erchine, the thought of this girl obviously making him angry....or was it...who knows!

"Would you just answer the lady's question, dog boy?!" said Knuckles annoyedly as he ran up to stand next to Rouge. "I already told you! I don't know! I was guarding the Amethyst, telling Cozone to buzz off, as she was distracting me from guarding the Amethyst, and a bright light shone out of the shrine and sucked us in. Before I disapeared, I saw others being warped towards the shrine to be sucked in. And then I found myself here. Simple enough for you?" said Erchine angrily. "Distraction.....that leads to...honor!" thought Knuckles out aloud. "Yeah, Honor. It is what I must uphold. I must protect the Amethyst at all costs and I must be loyal to my Amethyst only. I can also not marry, nor love. What's it to you?!" snapped Erchine. Knuckle's eyes went chibi and he took Erchine's hand "Same laws and qualities for me! I think we'll get along just fine!" Erchine blinked his eyes. "Really?" he said with a blank face. "Really!" said Knuckles and he went off with Erchine to show him his island, like a child showing another his newest toys.

Rouge and Amy looked at each other. ".....Okay, that was majorly weird" said Amy Rose. "Yes" replied Rouge simply. Chaos Zero popped up from behind them with a thoughtful look on his face. "That is very strange....Knuckles had nightmares about a Purple gem, and a rebel dog appears with a Purple gem!....I must question Erchine!" he thought aloud and ran off to find them.

Chaos Zero found Knuckles and Erchine comparing their songs while perching on the top of a pedestal. "Mine says, you besta aware of da MAGIC dat I send! Nearly the same as yours!" Erchine smiled. "Excuse me," asked the watery Chaos beast "can I deprive you from your VALUALBLE conversation so I can ask Erchine a question?" Erchine and Knuckles looked at each other at the same time and drill drived down to the tiled ground, at the same time. "What is it...Chaos? That's your name isn't it?" asked Erchine. "Yes it is," said Chaos plainly "Now, I was wondering, what do you know of a watery being that possesses evil powers?" Knuckles's eyes opened wide and he said "Yes, what do you know of one?" Erchine looked at both of them and replied "You may be meaning Zub Zero. He is an evil Ice force that came from the light blue Celestial Nova, but he has made good now." Knuckles shook his head "No, it is a female" and he proceeded to tell Erchine about the nightmares involving the female chaos and the Amethyst. "I have never heard of such a creature" replied Erchine "but that is interesting that you dreamt of my Amethyst."

"Wait a minute, didn't we see ten other beams of light bursting out from the shrine and escaping all over mobius and Earth?" said Rouge. "Huh?! Rouge! How long have you been listening to us?" said Knuckles, suprized. "A while. Amy's with me too" said Rouge, pointing to the pink hedgehog who poked her head out from behind a pillar. "Hi Kunukukuresu (That's Knuckles in Japanese)! I'm sorry, but I couldn't keep away from you for so long!" said Amy with her eyes sparkling like glistening Emeralds. Knuckles looked sheepishly at Rouge. "...anyway, could it be possible that those beams of light could be the 'others' you were talking about Erchine?" said Rouge, with a thoughtful expression on her furry white face. Erchine thought for a moment and then said "Yes, it could be very possible.

"Erchine, just who were these 'others'?" asked Amy Rose who was sitting down on a stone covered in Ancient Echidna writing. "Let me think," said Erchine "There was Cozone....Rex, Tekka, Nake, Hersugah, Arisha, Villien, Chaka and Pippin with her two Biobat guards, Nightmayre and Kage." "Wait wait! Momentai!" said Amy "How can we remember all this?!" "Well...I know! Erchine is similar to Knuckles...all the others must be similar to others like us on Earth and Mobius!" said Chaos Zero. "Yes! Like Cozone is a cat form of me!" said Rouge excitedly. "Erchine, old buddy, can you tell us the basic personality about these other creatures?" asked Knuckles.

"Okay, I can. Firstly, there is nake. He is a Tasmanian Tiger and is a show off. He ALWAYS saves the day from Rex and all that shiz. And his favorite word of all time is 'like', like dude!" said Erchine.

"Nake....he sounds like Sonic...except for the 'like' part!" exclaimed Amy. She drew the word Sonic=Nake in the dirt. "Better add Cozone and Erchine" said Rouge, bending over and writing Rouge=Cozone and Knuckles=Erchine.

"Secondly, there is Hersugah. He is a Black Dingo with red eyes and a purple tuft of fur on his chest. He is negative and claims he is the 'ultimate creature'. He joined Rex in a quest to take over Zeen" continued Erchine.

"Sounds like Shadow" smiled Knuckles as he scratched in Shadow=Hersugah with his Knuck-claws.

"Then there is tekka. He is a young genius weapons designer Iguana. Both of his parents were killed by Rex and he was rescued by Nake. He is in love with guns and looks up to Nake" said Erchine, spitting on the Amethyst and shining it.

Chaos Zero picked up a stick. "That's tails all over!" he exclaimed and scratched in Tails=Tekka.

"Rex is the Crocodile who is bent on taking over the world, Zeen and Earth. He is very tall and lean, and loves making robots to aid in his quest to conquer the worlds and destroy Nake, who always foils his plans" said Erchine, still shining.

"....Eggman? That would be him except for the thin part" said Rouge, batting her Eyelashes and scratching in Eggman=Rex.

"Chaka is a white female Tasmanian Tiger. She has a black belt in Karate and does kick boxing. She has long Brown hair and wears pink bows in her hair, which is her favorite color. Nake is in love with her, but she is always not admitting that she likes him. She usually gets into trouble" Said the dog.

"That sounds like Amy, to a point" said Chaos Zero, and he scratched in Chaka=Amy.

"Villien is a Robotic Nake...or so he says. Rex tried his best, but Villien wasn't his most accurate creation. Villien has steel-cold eyes and two long saber-tooth teeth. He has no feet, as he has a serpentine mermaid-like tail. He has unusually long arms and large wings. Villien was rebuilt many times" yawned Erchine.

Knuckles glared and said "Mecha. I wonder If Cozone cheats on Erchine for the Love of Hersugah, Tekka, Nake and Villien?" "I do not cheat on you Knuckles!" said Rouge angrily. "You do so!" replied Knuckles. "What about Amy then?!" said Rouge testingly. "Lets stop this right now!" said Amy as she separated the feuding warm-blooded creatures and wrote in Villien=Mecha.

".....Anyway! Arisha is a Gazelle. She wears a short black Skirt and many accessories. She is in love with Villien, who isn't able to love, even if he liked her! Still, she always pursues her goal.....apparently she is some ancient Gazelle-the last of her kind!" continued Erchine.

"Sounds like Tikal...crossed with Amy. But we already have an Amy, so this must be Tikal!" said Chaos Zero, who scratched in Tikal=Arisha.

"Lastly, Pippin is a Vampire bat-" said Erchine before he was cut off by Rouge.

"Haven't I heard that name before?" she questioned herself. Knuckles sheepishly shrunk back into the shadows.

"Anyway, as I was saying before I was so RUDELY INTERRUPTED!!!!," barked Erchine "Pippin is a Vampire Bat who wears a Tight leather outfit (Erchine's eyes went misty at this thought) and has a daemon's tail and wings. She has brown fur and purple, pupil-less eyes...and fangs, of course! Her two knight/guards are Kage and Nightmayre. They are both Biobats, a crossbreed of lizards and Bats. They are black in color. Kage is a biobat rapper with blaze patterns on his legs, a ski hat with ski goggles and black shoes with yellow stripes and gold soles. He has small metal armbands around his wrists and black wings with red inside skin. He can open up the chasms of hell.

Nightmayre is a Biobat rocker who wears blue pants with a cloth belt that has a silver skull pendant on the end. He has huge metal armbands around his wrists and long, dark blue shoes with a gold tiger stripe pattern and silver soles. His wings are pure purple: all through, and he also wears a ski hat with a blaze pattern on it and a pair of black sunglasses are resting on his head. He can shoot out Cream pies of EVIL!!" said Erchine spookily.

"Who do they resemble?" thought Amy. "Ah, let's just stuff them under 'Biolizard' and get it over with" said Chaos Zero impatiently, scratching in Biolizard=Kage, Nightmayre and Pippin.

Knuckles, who had come out from the shadows again said " What do we do now?"

"We have got to find them! Rex may team up with Eggman or something shizzy like that!" exclaimed Amy. Chaos nodded. "And remember, there is still that dangerous lady Chaos to find out about" he pointed out. Knuckles put an arm around Rouge. "Well, we'll have to find them now, won't we? It'll be easy with a smart treasure hunter like you" he said to the white bat. Rouge pulled herself away from Knuckles. "Flattery will get you nowhere" she replied "But I still think we should look for them." "But what about your Emerald?" asked Erchine "You can't leave it!" "No, that's true. I can't" said Knuckles, walking over to the Master Emerald "But I can take it with me!" Knuckles put his hand over the Emerald and minimized it to a portable size.

"Come on guys!" giggled Amy Rose, happy at the thought of actually being allowed to go on an adventure "Let's go!"
