~*Amethysts, Emeralds and.......love?*~
Bei Zuki the Chao.
Hey guys! I' m glad you all like this! I decided to do point-of-veiw again, so today we see Knuckles' version (Knux sees thing in present-tense okays?) Today...I mean, tonight (It is night-time there), Our heros take a break from all this rescuing and just take some time to unwind.....Erchine will be planning though. And even though this is in Knux's point-of-veiw, I'll let youse see where Shadow and Hersugah have got to. That scene will be in my normal, No-one's point of veiw style.
Bei for now!
~*Chapter Six*~
I looked up to the sky. In the horizon was a wondrous splash of the colours Orange, Red, Pink and Purple (Based on one of the sunsets I have seen). I thought about the meaning of this. Purple represented Rouge, as it was her favorite colour. Red was Shadow's, Orange was my own and Pink was Amy Rose...Amy....I don't even know why I have started to put up with her. I never used to. I mean, she was so annoying. Sonic had to keep on rescuing her and seemed to always somehow mess up what I was doing in the process. I guess it wasn't so much Amy's fault, more Sonic's. I pulled out the Master Emerald from between my quills (Hey, I keep stuff there. Is there anywhere else I could?) and looked at it. It's glossy surface reflected the sunset.
I looked around at my surroundings. We had decided to camp out for the night and get some sleep. The sky was already darkening quickly. We were about five kilometres from the chao garden, with a dense, green forest with many shrubs and the stream which leads to the waterfall in chao garden streaking through the moss-covered banks. I looked around to see what the others were doing. Nake was cuddling up next to Chaka, Chaka not looking too pleased, but not too annoyed either. Chaos was splashing in the stream in a very happy and carefree manner. Tekka was scratching out the planning for the workings of a new style of gun in the mud of the bank of the riverside. Erchine was up a tree, looking at the big, orange moon that was in the sky now. He had a sad, far away look in his eyes. I feel sorry for him. I can't really imagine leaving my home for a prolonged period of time, not knowing weather I'd ever return.
I look around for Rouge. Where is she? I look around at the surrounding woods. Ah! Now I remember! She went out with Amy to find fire wood. Amy....I wonder what is wrong with Rouge. She used to be such good friends with Amy. Now....I don't know. She seems very....cold towards her. A lot has happened since ARK I guess. Rouge also seems to be more affectionate than normal. I sit down under one of the trees. I have been told that I will be doing first shift to stand watch. It's not like I care. I usually sleep for one hour anyway. Except when I have those dreams....the ones about that Lady Chaos thing....I don't know why I have been having those nightmares. It scares me sometimes. It's not really natural for someone to have dreams about some female watery psychopath wanting to kill you all the time. But that could just be me. I flick back one of my quills. Erchine drops down out of the tree next to me.
"How are you Knuckles?" asks Erchine. I look up at him. "I'm fine. What about you?" I ask him, thinking back at how sad he looked before. Erchine's tail twitches slightly. "I am fine" he said, his tail still twitching. "No you're not," I reply "Whenever your tail twitches, I know that you're lying." Erchine's eyes glare at me angrily, and then he says "Fine! I guess I can't keep anything away from you! I miss my tribe. They were like my family. Shan, my father, Zore, my mother, Xanadu my sister and all the other members of the Takketa tribe. I am supposed to protect them. What if something happens? A Thunder Lizard could strike, a fire, Death wolves could attack-anything! And I would be responsible because I was their Battle Mage and wasn't there to protect them!"
I put my gloved hand on his furry shoulder. "I understand. At least you still have tribes-people. My people drove themselves to extinction. Tikal was the only survivor" I said, remembering what Tikal had told me. Erchine's eyes went wide. "Oh I am so sorry! I didn't know!" he apologized quickly. "Huh. Don't worry, I hardly knew them myself. I was hatched from an egg on Angel Island. I was the Emerald's born protector" I replied, holding up the Master Emerald which glinted in the moonlight.
"Ah, okay then. I was a born Guardian and Battle Mage. My parents came from a simple background. My father was a Papaya harvester in the great Takketa Papaya fields. My mother stayed at home doing all the cooking, weaving, sweeping and also was trained in the arts of basic inner-self magic. When I was born, the tribe elders sensed that I was the one from the heavens that was destined to become the guardian of our tribe and our Amethyst. They took me at a very early age and was trained in the arts of basic self magic, which I exceeded in and nearly destroyed my teacher. At the age of ten, I was living out at Arch Plateau which looks over the tribe. Arch Plateau is where the Amethyst's shrine is located, along with these pillars and monoliths and stuff like that covered in Ancient Afghan writing. It's a beautiful place" Erchine sighed, his eyes misty.
"I am sure it is" I said as Amy and Rouge came back with armfuls of firewood. Rouge had an angry look on her face. I wondered why, and walked up to her and said "Hi Rouge!" Rouge looked up at me with chibi eyes. "Hello Knuckles!" she said cheerfully. I felt my face burn. I was blushing. I guess I was wrong about Rouge looking angry. I then noticed Amy. She had an upset look on her face. She went over to the center of the clearing, turned her back to me and dropped the wood, made an orange flame come into the palm of her hand and lit the fire which immediately began blazing away. She then backed away and sat down leaning against a tree and opened her bag to pull out a small loaf of bread. She stared at it and it immediately became about ten sandwiches. Sometimes I wonder about Amy. How did she get this new power? I must question her later.
"Rouge? Knuckles? Chaos? Erchine? Nake? Chaka? Tekka? You hungry?" Amy called. Chaos stopped splashing about. "Nah, I don't eat" said Chaos staring at Rouge in a loving way. Chaos likes Rouge. Luckily, I don't think she likes him. It's bad enough her liking Mecha and Shadow...even King Boom Boo! Nake, Tekka and Chaka walked up and said their thanks as they sat down to eat. Amy walked up to us. She held up the rest of her sandwiches. "Aren't you guys hungry?" she asked, looking down at the ground. "Thanks Amy!" said Rouge a little over cheerful than normal. "Thank you Amy" I said as I took one and began to eat. "What about you Erchine?" asked Amy, turning to Erchine. Erchine brushed back his hair-like fur and said "Amy Rose, I eat things that you wouldn't even consider eating. I can hunt for my own food, but thanks anyway." Erchine then went prowling out of the campsite.
Rouge sidled up to me and sat down. She stared at me with "the eyes". I slowly sidled back away from her. "What's the matter Knuckles?" asked Rouge, staring at me. "Nothing. Nothing at all!" I said nervously, a sweat drop running down the side of my head. Rouge looked at me angrily and stood up."I'll never understand you Knuckles!" she shouted, running off. What did I do wrong? Why is she always acting like this? It's me who'll never understand her. I finished my dinner and climbed up a tree, readying myself for this night's shift.
I sat down on the highest branch and lent against the trunk. I looked around. Chaos had merged with the river and gone to sleep in it. It kinda looks freaky with just his yellow eyes glowing in the now dark blue water. I looked over at Nake and Chaka. They were at the base of another tree and were hugging each other as they went to sleep. Tekka was hanging upside down off a tree by his tail and was out like a light. Rouge was leaning against a large boulder. She was already asleep, but even from here I could see that she had been crying. I will absolutely NEVER understand her. I don't see what I did wrong. I sighed and leant back against the trunk and looked up into the moon.
Meanwhile, in green hills Zone......
"There it is!" said a black with red stripes on his spines hedgehog to a demonic dingo. "This is all too easy!" said Hersugah, bearing his teeth evilly and grinning. "You'd think that they'd actually protect the Chaos Emerald wouldn't you?" asked Shadow, walking up to a small red jewel. "These people in your world are complete suckers!" chuckled Hersugah, walking up to it as well. Just then, a purple vortex appeared above the first chaos emerald and spat out a very large and very evil-looking beast. Hersugah and Shadow backed quickly away from it. The creature was sandy- brown in color and was dog-like. It had all black eyes with no whites and furry whiskers. It had brownish angel wings, very muscular legs and stripes along it's back. Hersugah's eyes widened. "The Pyramid's Protector???!!! Not him again!" he shouted, backing away. Shadow turned to his dingo copy. "Pyramid's Protector? What do you mean, Not again?" asked Shadow. "The Pyramid's Protector was a sand beast that protected the ancient Tormoi` Pyramid. It can't tell good from evil, and is very powerful. Doctor Rex had to stop him before and barely escaped with his life!" shouted Hersugah, his eyes wide with terror. Shadow gulped. "He is like Egg Golem" he said simply. "Wait a minute, if we work together we can defeat him!" exclaimed Hersugah. Suddenly the Hamtaro theme started playing.
"Hamtaro! If we work together it's much better!" sung Hersugah, Shadow and the Pyramid's protector at the same time, completely forgetting about what they were doing before. The song stopped playing. The three creatures stopped dancing. "I love that show!" said Shadow happily. "So do I!" exclaimed Hersugah. Then they realised what they had been doing. The Pyramid's Protector roared and started attacking them with a golden beam of light. Shadow and Hersugah darted back and forth trying to dodge. "Well this at least beats listening to Eggman Ramble on all day about how much he's better than Sonic!" shouted Shadow, being positive. "Shadow, were you actually being POSITIVE??" asked Hersugah questioningly. "Oh sorry. No, nothing can be worse than this" corrected Shadow.
Back to the campsite.....
I looked down from the tree. It had been about an hour. I was tired for some reason. That's strange, I'm not usually tired. I guess it's all the stuff that has been happening lately. My eyelids started to droop down when I was suddenly awoken by a loud "Hi!!!!!!". I bolted awake and immeadiately stand in defensive pose. I turned around to see who it is. A familiar, seventeen year old pink hedgehog was standing behind me. "I'm sorry if I woke you Knuckles. I thought I'd come up and take second shift" said Amy apologetically "I could go if you want." I relaxed. "No, it's fine" I sighed as I looked into her Emerald eyes. They really are the color of Emeralds. I never noticed it before, but she is really pretty, especially as she is now seventeen. "Oh. Okay then!" she said as she sat down next to me on the branch "I can keep you company!" I stared at her and ask "Amy, how did you get these magical powers?" Amy looked troubled and then said "Would you believe me if I said that I have a golden staff that can turn into a crocodile? That I am a chosen spellmistress?" I stared at her and then say "If it wasn't for the fact that I am bonded to a jewel, my ancestors were totalled by a puddle and I have just discovered that another world similar to ours exists, I'd say you were completely crazy." Which is true. Amy smiled at me and pulled out a golden key-like staff that was encrusted with jewels. "This is it. I can show you if you like if you need more proof" she said, holding it up. "No, it's fine. I believe you" I said, looking deeper into her eyes. I felt a flush of heat. I was blushing again. Amy stopped and looked at me. Our eyes met. Amy moved closer to me. I moved closer to her. Our faces moved closer together and our lips touched....
About one minute later, we stopped. I moved away from her quickly, embarrassed. Only yesterday she was a twelve year old girl! You fool Knuckles! What are you doing?! Amy seemed to be very happy though. She smiled and put her hand on my shoulder. "You sleep, okay? I'll keep watch" she replied and brushed one of my quills off my face. I am tired. I close my eyes. The last thing I hear is Erchine howling at the moon.
