~*Amethysts, Emeralds and.........Love?*~
Bei Zuki the chao.
Hey guys! Todays I will be switching to Amy's point of view (I might do Rouge at some stage....some time....maybe). I think I'm making Rouge out as too much of a total whiney, self-centered, Egotistic pest. I will work on that.... Is there really something on between Amy and Knux? What is happening to Hersugah and Shadow? Where is Stinger? Well...you might find out these answers, Or I might just be annoying you! Anyways, Lezze continue shall we?
~*Chapter Seven*~
It was the break of dawn. I yawned. "Gosh! Amy! You've awake most of the night!" I thought to myself. I guess it would be pretty hard to sleep after what happened last night. I looked down at Knuckles. He had his quilled head lying on my knee. He really is very cute. Yeah, sure, he's pretty stubborn. And impatient. And he's pretty aggressive most of the time. But if you push all that away, you see what's really behind the mask. A lonely, sad guardian echidna with no family left that is actually alive, and no-one to cheer him up when he's down, help him when he's in trouble or just keep him company. I sighed.
"Of course, he has been keen on Rouge ever since they became Rivals at that big ARK incident with Shadow. I remember, that's when I went to find Sonic and got myself caught by Doctor Eggman. What a pain I was then! I can hardly believe that I have transformed from the whiney little brat who chased after Sonic all the time, to the mature, seventeen year-old Spell Mistress in possession of the legendary Amber" I thought to myself as I looked at the sunrise. I thought back to what Rouge had said last night while we were gathering Firewood.
Rouge and I had reached a small grove where there was lots of firewood. I had begun to pick up some wood when Rouge walked up to me and said, very acidic, "So you think you're pretty smart don't you? You think that if you pretend to disapear into the vortex, appear again and begin to babble on about Spell Mistress nonsense, you'll win Knuckles' heart?!"
I looked up at her, my eyes welling with tears. "I am not making this up! Look at me! Do you think that I just put on a ton of make-up or something like that to look as if I am seventeen? It's true! It's the power of the Amber Key!" I shouted angrily.
Rouge looked at me with fake pitying eyes "Let me explain something to you Amy. I have known Knuckles for a long time. Ever since I saw him, I fell in love. It was the same for Knuckles. And you wanna know something? If it weren't for his 'laws', he'd marry me. He told me himself."
It took me a long time to take this in. I just took one, long, hard stare at Rouge and then said "Rouge, when I met you again after the ARK, we became friends. I remember. 'Girls have gotta stick together!' That's what you said. And I believed you. You were always nice to me. We could discuss anything. If I rambled on about Sonic, you put up with it. If you bragged about your treasure-hunting skills, I put up with it. But now, you...I don't know....you've changed. You're not you any more. What is it that has changed you Rouge? Was it the fact that you gave up treasure hunting? Or is that the real case? I bet they had to throw you out of the job because you became too conceited with yourself to concentrate on your actual job!!"
This struck and stung Rouge very badly. She just gave me a murderous look and, twitching her wings slightly, picked up her wood and strode away. I picked up mine and ran after her. All the long walk, neither of us said a word.
My eyes came back into focus as I left the nightmarish vision. I will try my best to win back our friendship-whatever the cost. I looked at the sun again. My guess would be that it was about seven in the morning. I surveyed the ground. I saw that Erchine had come back. I wondered what he eats. Maybe some poor animal? I didn't really want to know. I sighed again and picked up Amber. I began to shine her with the edge of my dress. It makes me all happy inside thinking that I am the only one who can release her and talk to her and summon her powers. I took a glance at Knuckles again. I wonder if he really meant what happened last night. I lay down against the tree and went to sleep.
I awoke again with the sound of a very evil laughter. I opened my eyes. I looked up to see Knuckles' chao, Stinger grinning evilly at us. "S...s...stinger? What are you doing here? I thought we left you miles behind." I said sleepily. "Yes, it is I. I finnaly caught up with you. And if I may ask, what are you two doing?" he said with a wide grin on his face. I noticed that in my sleep, I had somehow moved closer to Knuckles and was hugging him. I let go very quickly. Luckilly, Knuckles was still asleep. I glared up at the neutral chao. Stinger pulled out a picture and a camera. He held up the photo. My eyes went wide as I saw it. "Stinger, How long were you watching us?" I asked quickly. Stinger simply grinned. "Amy and Knuckles sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes- " chanted Stinger gleefully before he was cut off by me frying his little Chao behind with my Amber Magic.
"YOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!" screamed stinger, jumping up and down and waking everyone up. Tekka opened his eyes suddenly and lost his grip and fell face first onto the ground. Nake and Chaka woke up and Chaka quickly distanced herself from Nake. Chaos bolted up and out of the water, splashing water everywhere. Rouge's eyelids fluttered open and she got up. I turned to Knuckles. He was still out like a light! -_-;; I guess all of the past few days has finally got to him. I dropped down out of the tree. Everyone one had a murderous look in their eyes, and all eyes were on me. I slowly backed away, then said "It was Stinger! See?" I pointed to Stinger who was still hopping around like mad. The angry mob turned on Stinger and started beating the chao to death. I wiped the sweat from my forehead. I'm not really used to lying. Still, I was half-telling the truth. After all, Stinger did scream and shout and wake everyone up. I don't like hurting people that much, but Stinger is so annoying. I sat down and lit the fire. Then, using my special powers, summoned up breakfast (Hmmm...I didn't think I was able to summon cocoa pops. Oh well.). After their Stinger-bashing session (Stinger was now very badly bruised), the others came over and sat down to breakfast.
Meanwhile, Green Hills Zone.....
Shadow and Hersugah were frantically trying to figure out an attack plan. "Oh give us some time will you! Time Warp!" growled the demonic Dingo, holding up a purple Amethyst and freezing time completely, except for Shadow and Hersugah, all time had stopped. "So what shall we do?" pondered Hersugah aloud. Suddenly something clicked in Shadow's mind. Shadow slapped his hand against his forehead.
"Stupid me! Why didn't I think of this before?!" thought Shadow angrily. He turned to Hersugah. "Hersugah, since the 'Pyramid's Protector' is frozen still, we can attack him like mad without him hurting us!" Shadow groaned. Hersugah stared blankly at Shadow and then groaned. "I can't believe I didn't think of that!" said Hersugah, his face red from embarrassment.
"Well let's get on with it then!" shouted Shadow to Hersugah's face. Hersugah blinked, confused. "Uhh...sorry....personality clash I guess..." said Shadow sheepishly.
The two evil-doers turned to the frozen canine and immediately switched to defensive pose. "Okay Shadow, you go for the rear while I go for the head!" snarled Hersugah. "Okay.....Heeeeeey...why do I have to go for his rear? Why do you get to attack his head?" complained Shadow. Hersugah glared at him. "Because I have long claws that can slash his eyes. You don't even have claws" pointed out Hersugah. Shadow just groaned, long and loud and prepared for the battle.
Suddenly, all time unfroze and the Pyrator (I just ran the words together so I could save space) began attacking them even more viciously. "CRUD!!! I forgot that attacks like that don't last forever!" yelled Shadow. "And we wasted our time complaining!" groaned Hersugah in frustration. "Well it proves that complaining doesn't help at all" pointed out Shadow. "But Shadow, you were the one who was complaining the most!" growled Hersugah. "So?" said Shadow defiantly. Just then, the Pyrator hit the two arguing ebony creatures with a very large blast of golden light. This caused them to both get knocked out. The Pyrator advanced closer and closer to them and........
((Zuki: Ooooee! A cliffhanger! But let's continue back to Amy now!
Hersugah and Shadow: :( BUT WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO US??!!!
Pyrator: ROOOOARR!!!!!!!!!
Hersugah and Shadow: EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! (Flee) ))
Back to Amy.....
I sat down to join the others for breakfast. I looked at Rouge. Her mascara had run and all of her make-up was messed. She had obviously been crying. I suddenly felt a stab of guilt. What if it was me that had upset her? I didn't really mean it, I had just felt so angry at Rouge. She is so pushy and self-centered. And she is always used to getting her own way. I walked up to Rouge.
"Are you okay?" I asked Rouge, putting my hand on her tan shoulder. Rouge looked up at me. "Yeah, I guess. Knuckles just made me so angry yesterday. He never gets the point! How long have we known each other? I'm not even sure! When we departed at the ARK, I was sure that there was something between us. I liked him ever since I first saw him. But I was too proud to admit it!" she said angrily, wiping back a few tears. I looked at her. I felt bad for some reason.
I sighed. "I'm sorry Rouge, for what I said last night. I don't know what came over me. Like an outburst of all the things I've kept in for so long. I'm really sorry" I apologized.
Rouge looked suprized, and also confused at the same time. "No, I should be the one saying sorry. I should of never shouted at you like that. I had no right. And even though what you said was obviously not true, I still felt upset. It's just all these troubles over the last few weeks. Shadow having basically disapeared off the face of the planet. Knuckles treating me as if I'm pretty much not even there. This whole trauma of the Amethyst and Erchine and all his guys. I am so sorry!" Rouge burst out crying. I don't know why, but I felt like crying too. All of our troubles had poured out. After we had stopped crying, I felt, I don't know, all happy inside. I looked at everyone else. They were all staring at us like we were completely crazy. Rouge looked up at them. "What's your problem? You find it strange to see two ladies talking to each other?" she said with a toothy grin. I smiled. We were friends again.
The long silence was broken by a very loud thud. We all turned around to see what it was. Knuckles had fallen off the branch and fallen into the thorn bush that was next to the base of the large tree. He had a very, very, VERY annoyed look on his face. Rouge and I ran up to him and helped him out. Chaos grinned. "Now you have even more spikes, my red-furred guardian boy!" he taunted. Knuckles glared at Chaos Zero murderously. "What in heck happened?!" groaned Knuckles, plucking out a thorn from one of his quills. "You fell asleep on that branch, remember?" I told him. Knuckles' eyes widened. "Ah. I remember" he said with a sheepish look on his face. Rouge looked at me questioningly. I sweated, my face burning up again. I won't tell her just yet.
Instead, I turned to Knuckles. "Here, let me help you" I said, starting to pull out the thorns. Knuckles winced. "Here, I'll help too!" exclaimed Rouge, pulling out more thorns. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! *colorful language is inserted here*!!!" winced Knuckles. "Don't be such a baby!" I told him. "Yeah, be the fearless guardian that you make yourself out to be!" added Rouge, pulling out another thorn. Knuckles' eyes bulged out. I'm pretty sure all of Mobius heard Knuckles.
Once Knuckles was de-thorned, Chaos turned to Rouge. "Shouldn't we get going?" asked Chaos Zero, moving closer to Rouge. "In your dreams Chaos!" shouted Rouge, knocking back the puddle of magical liquid. "He has got a point though, we should get goin'" pointed out Chaka. "Yeah, like, like, dude!" added Nake. "Wherever Nake goes, I go!" said Tekka. "I guess we really should go, considering we still have to find about eight creatures" said Knuckles, turning to leave along with the others. "Fine, let's go then" I said, picking up my belongings and following the guys ahead of me. Just then, Erchine, who had been leaning against a shadowed tree for who knows how long, walked past me to join up with me. But before he passed me, he gave me a toothy grin and said "I know what you did last night!"
