Disclaimer: I own Klim...and you should know that by now. Both Lynx and I
own Klime and Jynx. Kat owns Kat. That's everyone...in this story
anyway.
What is this!? A chapter update!? Yes, indeed! Hello to all my readers out there! You didn't think I was quitting, now, did you? Just been a little busy as of late... School and friends and more school and friends kind of leave you with little to no free time for writing, you know?
But anyway, I bet you didn't check this out to hear about me. So here you go! Your extra-long chapter! (Felt like making it up to you! ^_^)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----
I was thrown backwards as the explosion blew open the entrance. Standing there was a fierce looking robot.with a blaster pointed straight at me. I wasted no time, got to my feet, and jumped back as a laser struck the spot I was at.
Lynx came in with a slice at the robot from the side, which hit it with such force that the robot was thrown off-balance. Seizing the opportunity, I charged forward, smashing into the robot with my spear, knocking it over. Two large dents were in its side and front, but it got back onto its feet.
"These ones are a lot tougher than the ones I fought before!" I warned Lynx. By the time I looked back at the robot, though, it had already fired at me.
I didn't dodge quick enough, and the laser cut through my side. I felt it burn through me, but I didn't really notice. My thoughts were on the robot.
"Eat THIS!" I shouted as I held up my purple emerald, causing a huge gust to blow at the robot, smashing it further into the base and out of sight.
"Klim!" Lynx shouted at me as he ran over. "Let me help you."
"NO!" I shouted as I shoved him away with my hand. "Save your energy! We have to have it for Eggman."
I walked forward determinedly towards the entrance, but Lynx stepped into my way again.
"You're more important than Eggman," he said as he pulled out his green emerald. I sighed. Might as well let him... he won't give in when he's like this.
I saw the green light surround me and my wounds patched up.
"Thanks," I said half-heartedly as I went around Lynx, heading into the base again.
"No problem," he said as he followed closely behind.
Entering the base, I saw the robot I fought earlier lying on the ground, seemingly deactivated. I gave it a kick as I walked by.
"Error, error, error!" I heard behind me as it fired up again.
"Klim!" Lynx shouted as he looked at the robot, which was about to get back up. "Look what you've done!"
"I'll give you an error!" I yelled at the robot as I kicked it hard in the head. It deactivated again. "Stupid hunk of junk."
"Be careful, Klim!"
"Yeah, yeah."
I walked further into the base to find two more robots that looked identical to the first. Upon seeing me they fired, but I dodged the shots as they came, and slammed into the one on the right with my spear, knocking it into the wall and burying my spear deep inside its torso. It began to spark violently, but it still had enough life to knock me away with one of its robotic arms. I recovered quickly and shoved my spear into the ground, causing it to come up underneath the robot, performing my Deathspike move. It shook violently and then exploded. I turned to the side to see Lynx's bot fall to the ground. He stood over it triumphantly.
"Good job," I said as I motioned down the corridor. "Let's go."
"Why the rush...?" Lynx muttered behind me as I walked down the corridor.
Going around the next corner, yet another robot stood waiting for us. However, this one seemed different than the others we had fought thus far. It was larger in size, and several metal plates jutting off of its main body made it look like it was covered in spikes. Its red robotic eyes seemed to scan Lynx and me down to the last detail. I readied my spear and charged forward at it, determined to bring it down and continue on. Seconds before impact, a large blue shield appeared in front of the robot, knocking me backwards and off my feet after I slammed directly into it.
I got back onto my feet as Lynx shot a blast of energy forward at the robot out of his sword, smashing it back a few steps. It aimed its gun at me and I hastily jumped out of the way as machine gun fire struck the area where I was previously at. Pulling out my yellow emerald, I summoned forth a large bolt of lightning that struck the bot square between the eyes. It sparked for a moment and then fired at me again. Caught off guard, I felt a few shots hit me and I staggered back in pain. It didn't last long, however, as Lynx used his green emerald on me. A flash later, I was back in the action with a Deathspike to the robot. It sparked a bit more, and then fired a rocket out of its back at Lynx. He rolled to the side, causing the rocket to fly by him and destroy the wall behind us.
Spinning my spear ahead of me in a fan-like shape, I charged forward at the robot, determined to slice it open. Nobody attacked my friends and got away with it.
Once again I hit the barrier, but this time I went smashing through it, smashing and stabbing the bot in many places as my attack went through. It fell as a pile of rubble as soon as I was finished. I panted as I looked at Lynx.
"I need a vacation," I said as I wiped some sweat off my face.
"Not just yet. But we are almost done," Lynx said with assurance as he walked on ahead of me.
Behind the tough robot's remains, we found a closed door. Opening it, we walking into a large laboratory-type of room. Large tubes lined the walls, but the center of the room was basically clear of any type of furniture or objects.
And standing there was Kit Kat.
"You'll go no farther, intruders!" he shouted as a bunch of Chao behind him cheered.
"Kit Kat?! What the devil are you doing?!" I shouted as I took a step forward.
He seemed surprised I knew his name, but quickly shook it off.
"I should be asking that question! What do you think you're doing in the Great Robotnik's base?"
"Rescuing you, you silly cat!" Lynx exclaimed as he walked alongside of me.
"Don't take another step!" Kat shouted as he seemed to carelessly play with his yo-yo. But even I knew he was dangerous with that thing.
"What's gotten into you, Kat? Why are you working for Robotnik?" I asked as I stopped moving forward.
"Why...am I working for him...?" He held his head for a moment, and then let go and glared at us. "You know why!"
"No, we don't," Lynx said. "But I don't like the way you're acting. Klim, you think he's been brainwashed or something?"
"Most likely," I said as I took out my spear. Lynx seemed alarmed at this.
"Klim! You can't be thinking..."
"Lynx, what else can I do? Obviously he is on Robotnik's side, and if we can't get through here all our work thus far would have been done in vain. I wish there was another way, but... I haven't a choice!" I stopped and looked at Kat.
"This is your last chance, Kat! Let us through!"
"Never! I will remain loyal to Robotnik and stop you here and now! Chao, ATTACK!"
Fifteen to twenty Chao came charging at us from behind Kat. I charged forward, Lynx reluctantly drawing his sword and chasing after me.
Swinging my spear in a large arc in front of me again, I took out about four of the little brats, and shortly afterward felt a few of their small pointed sticks in my side. I turned and angrily smashed one hard upside the head with my own spear, sending him flying onto the side of a test tube on the other side of the room.
"Nice one, Klim!" Lynx shouted as he nailed three Chao of his own across the room, one after the other.
I jabbed my spear underneath this one Chao and lifted him far into the air behind me.
'Hmm...' I thought. 'Maybe I could improve on that a bit more later and...'
"OOF!" I fell down as something hard slammed me from behind. I kicked backwards and heard a shout, knowing I hit. I got up quickly and turned to face Kit Kat, frying pan in hand.
A few more jabs from my side told me the Chao were still there. I picked one up and tossed him at Kat, who jumped to the side to dodge the living projectile. Looking about the room, I saw the rest of the Chao were either unconscious or frozen.
"This is it, Kat. Please, don't fight, forget Robotnik and join us once more!"
"Never! You can't even tell who's on top, can you?" he said with a sly grin.
"What?"
Suddenly, Kat pulled out his red Chaos Emerald, and he glew with its light. There was a flash, and suddenly Kat's normal red color was replaced by orange. His hat sort of glowed, and his pants were a lighter blue. He was also slightly hovering off the ground.
"Kat!?" I shouted as he suddenly laughed.
"That's SUPER Kat to you! It's time for me to take you down!"
Suddenly he charged forward at me, smashing me off my feet with his newfound speed. I quickly got back up...only to be wrapped up in a yo-yo string. I fell on my face and struggled to break free, but I couldn't. Looking up, I saw Lynx barely keeping up blocking all of Kat's frying pan attacks. Suddenly Kat conjured a fireball from his Chaos Emerald and it floated in the air. Taking his frying pan, he smashed it as if it was a baseball and it zoomed toward Lynx with such a speed that he couldn't block or dodge in time. It hit him square in the chest and he fell to the ground. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. I struggled even more to escape from the string.
"This isn't good!" I shouted as I struggled to bust free.
"Tut tut tut," Kat said as he waved his finger and walked over to me. "I want you to stay there."
"Just what do you think you're doing, Kat? You were our friend! Why are you doing this!?" I yelled.
"Quit trying to trick me! I know what is right from wrong, and attacking this base isn't very honorable! Now..." he said as he raised his pan. "I think it's bed time for you."
A sudden explosion knocked Kat backwards, and he seemed partially stunned. Suddenly, my ropes were cut and I jumped up and turned to see...
"Klime! Jynx!" I shouted. "What are you guys doing here?!"
"Well,since our job is to protect the purple Chaos Emerald," Jynx replied, "we figured the best way to do it would be to come with you."
"You got a bit of a head start without us, though," Klime explained.
Suddenly Kat snapped to his senses and he growled.
"More of you! Fine! Bring it on!"
"Klime, help Klim take out Kat! I'll help Lynx!" Jynx said as he ran over to Lynx's side.
"Right!" Klime said as he brandished his daggers. "You're mine!"
I pulled out my spear. "This is it, Kat. Your last chance. Come back to us!"
"You're wasting your breath!" Kat said as he pulled out a second yo-yo. "Eat this!"
He flung his yo-yo at me, aiming right for my head. I narrowly dodged to the side in time as the yo-yo hit the wall and made an indentation.
"Have it your way then," I said as I raised my weapon. "As much as I hate to do this, you're going down!"
Klime was one step ahead of me, and he jabbed forward with his left dagger. Kat nimbly blocked the attack with his frying pan, and then countered with it. Klime ducked and dodged it as I charged forward with my spear, stabbing into Kat's side. He yelled in pain, but wasn't too greatly damaged because he clobbered me one back with his frying pan. I felt to the ground.
"Spark Storm!" Klime shouted as he shot several of the flying projectiles at Kat, jabbing into him like small needles. Klime followed it up with a low-to-high cut, but Kat managed to recover in time to jump backwards and dodge the cut. I got back up and took out my yellow Chaos Emerald. Shortly afterwards, I shot a large bolt of lightning at Kat, striking him dead on.
"Yeow!" he shouted as he took his revenge upon Klime, who got smashed twice with the frying pan.
I readied my spear again and ran to help Klime out. He was backed into a corner and was doing the best he could to block Kat's onslaught. I stabbed forward and jabbed Kat right in the leg. It was a good hit, but still Kat seemed mostly unaffected and he quickened his attacks on Klime.
'He's so powerful!' I thought as I looked in bewilderment.
Klime was taking quite a few hits now and looked rather worn from all the fighting. Still, he didn't just give in, and he countered Kat's attacks the best he could. I plunged into the ground with a Deathspike to Kat, which actually seemed to do damage. He staggered backwards, and, while he was off guard, Klime took advantage of the situation.
"Speed Slash!" he shouted as he raced at Kit Kat. Just before he hit, Kat managed to loop his yo-yo around Klime's legs and he fell to the ground.
'He's fast!' I thought as I got ready to attack. Klime cut the string that were holding his legs together quickly and got to his feet...to be met with a frying pan to the head from Kat. He fell back down, just as an explosion sent Kat flying even further backwards.
"Leave my brother alone!" Jynx shouted as he glared at Kat.
'Brother?' I thought as I looked at Lynx, who was standing beside Jynx and looking ready to attack. 'Our other selves are brothers...?'
"Hmph! Four vs one, eh? I think I'll even this out a little!" Kat shouted as he pushed a button on his belt. "I need backup!"
Almost right on cue, the far door opened up and Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles flew out of it. They took up fighting stances and glared at Jynx and Lynx, who were closest.
"We'll take out the cat!" Klime shouted as he gestured towards me. I nodded and charged forward with Klime towards Kit Kat. I smashed him across the face with my spear and Klime managed a few slices on his torso. He staggered back further and then growled.
"You won't get the emerald! I'll make sure of that!" He shouted as he flew out the door Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles came in from.
"After him, while he's weak!" Klime shouted as he ran over to Jynx and Lynx, who were combating Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles. "I'll clean up things here!"
"Right!" I shouted as I ran out the door Kat exited.
"Good luck!" I heard Klime call as I continued on.
Walking down yet another corridor...I was surprised there weren't any robots or other sorts of resistance along the way.
"Maybe we took em all out already," I said with a chuckle as I entered a room at the far end of the corridor.
Further in, I saw that I was in a sort of laboratory type of area, with test tubes and such all over. Kat was standing in the middle of the room, with his back to me.
"So you come alone. That will be your last mistake," he stated as he turned around.
"Kat, snap out of it!" I shouted once more.
"Oh, for crying out loud, that is getting just plain old annoying!" he shouted as he charged forward at me, his frying pan over his head glowing a faint yellow color.
As he brought his weapon down, I managed to block, but the sheer force of the attack, which was much more than I expected, sent me flying backwards into a wall. I regained my senses and held my yellow Chaos Emerald into the air. Upon using it, a large bolt of lightning shot out of it toward Kat. Suddenly, just before it hit him, the bolt shot off to the side and hit a large cylinder-shaped machine near the back of the room.
"What the heck?!" I shouted.
Kat laughed. "That is the Elemus. It absorbs all attacks and other powers from Chaos Emeralds to itself," he explained. "Which is PRECISELY why I came in here!"
A small round object nailed me in the head. A yo-yo. I staggered back in pain.
"Hang on Klim, we aren't done yet!" Lynx shouted from behind me. A green light flashed around me for a second, but then disappeared. I saw it reappear on Elemus.
"Lynx, it's no good. That machine will absorb anything we use with our Chaos Emeralds!" I looked and saw that he was alone. Klime and Jynx must've stayed behind to finish off Metal Sonic and Metal Knuckles. But...now isn't the time to be thinking about that.
"Well, then, let's destroy it!" Lynx yelled. I nearly slapped myself. Why didn't I think of that?
"I won't let you do that!" Kat exclaimed as he stood between the machine and us. "You're history! This ends now!"

"Well, then, let's destroy it!" Lynx yelled. I nearly slapped myself. Why didn't I think of that?
"I won't let you do that!" Kat exclaimed as he stood between the machine and us. "You're history! This ends now!"
