Chapter 3: Eggman's pyramid base
As you may recall: I've cleared a mountainous region and a mine shaft of Emeralds, but not without getting lost in the mines in the process. Now maybe I'll find out some more.
I climbed every wall and glided across every gap, but saw no exits. Somehow, however, I ended up in the city sewer. I climbed up to a manhole and tried to move it.
When I finally got the manhole aside and climbed out, I heard a voice say "Knuckles!" I looked, and it was none other than Amy Rose standing there.
I looked around a bit, and noticed Tails nearby as well. He had transformed the Tornado into an odd-looking car. "Hey guys, long time no see!" I said. "I must've gotten lost in the mines!"
Then Amy tried to pull me out. "Move aside, Knuckles!" she said. Tails was the next one to speak up. "I managed to find the transcripts between Eggman and the President. I'm following the President's limo right now!"
I ducked just in time to avoid getting hurt as Tails sped off. I had some time to kill while Tails was chasing the President, so I returned to Wild Canyon and dug into the picture over the Lonely Statue. I found a tablet etched with a mysterious melody, and took it.
Afterwards, I returned to the city to try to find Tails and Amy. I finally found them, and Sonic too. They told me everything that had just happened, and asked me if I knew where Eggman's base was. I told them.
A few minutes later, all four of us were standing in the desert area, gazing at a pyramid. "Inside that pyramid?" Sonic asked. "I saw Eggman go inside the pyramid," I said, "and more importantly, I saw that bat girl go inside with him as well."
I turned to Amy. "You saw them too, right?" I had no idea why Amy would see them, but those were the lines. "Well, yeah," Amy replied. I didn't bother to ask how.
"We should be able to get to outer space from there," Sonic said. "I don't know what this space colony is all about, but I'll find and destroy that cannon... and then kick their imperial butts!"
Tails' walker stepped forward. "I'll go and find the entrance!" Tails said, and then marched into the desert. After a few minutes, Tails called to us. We walked up to him, and Sonic dashed ahead.
It wasn't long before we all arrived at a large door. "Looks like we're heading for the center of the base," Tails said. Sonic was the next to speak up.
"That Eggman sure loves mechanical things, doesn't he?" Sonic said as Tails examined the door. "I'll bet he has one or two spaceships lying around here somewhere."
"The door is locked," Tails said. "We need a key to get in there." "No sweat," Sonic replied, turning to me. "We can find it, right Knuckles?"
I was a bit shocked at this. "What?" I said. "Why do I have to find the key?" "We're counting on you, buddy!" Sonic replied. "The world's greatest treasure hunter!"
With a shrug, I jumped into the Death Chamber. First, I tapped a detector nearby with a punch. "Pyramid Core," it said. I knew where that was. I headed straight ahead, punching the hourglass to open the door.
I stopped beside an array of wooden boxes and punched them. They shattered, revealing a pair of metallic gloves. I put them on, and figured I could use them to shatter metal containers.
I then continued forward, smashing a few metal containers with my new gloves, until I reached the Pyramid Core. Thankfully, my watch worked with the keys the same way it did with the Emerald shards. I dashed forward and snagged the Gate Key. Two to go.
Afterwards, I punched another detector. It said, "A chest you can't open," then broke. "Oops," I thought. "I should be a bit more careful."
I circled the room until I saw a map with a blinking light at a blue passage. I entered the nearest door and headed to the blue room. In the water, behind a chest, was the second Gate Key.
After grabbing the second Emerald, I surfaced and gave a nearby detector a (gentle) punch. It said, "The place where the light used to be." Huh?
Then it hit me. The gloves I picked up earlier were surrounded by a light. When I took them, the light disappeared. I returned to that spot and dug into the stone circle that had surrounded the gloves. I came up with the third Gate Key.
Returning to the Pyramid Core, I stopped to catch my breath. Then I heard a growl. Slowly I turned. "Huh? Who's there?" I muttered. "What the... a ghost?"
It was none other than King Boom Boo, the king of ghosts. I ran from him, looking over my shoulder at all times to make sure I could always see him. He threw flames, but they always missed as long as I kept running.
Then he stopped and blew a wall of flame. Now was my chance. I ran around behind him and gave the small ghost carrying the hourglass a whack. He dropped it, and sunlight poured in from six panels in the ceiling.
King Boom Boo sunk into a shadow and started moving around. Carefully I followed. Then he started shaking, and I dug into the shadow and pulled him up.
He tried to flee, but it was no use. In a few seconds, I managed to hit him and damage him. I tried to hit him again, but the panels closed and the room was dark again.
I went through the whole procedure four times total. Sometimes the shadow climbed the wall. No problem; I climbed after it. After the fourth hit, King Boom Boo went BOOM.
Now I returned to the others and opened the door. "Huh," I muttered. "That was pretty rough." "We did it!" Tails cheered. "Let's go Amy!" Amy agreed.
"You little thieves!" a voice said. "Did you really think you could get out of here alive?" It was none other than Dr. Eggman. "Come and get some, Eggman!" Sonic jeered. "Just leave it to me!"
"This time, I'll take your lives as well as the Chaos Emerald," Eggman continued. How did he know Tails had one? "I call on you to destroy these pests! Come out my servant!"
A huge golem emerged from the sands. Sonic was a bit startled by this. Then the golem started to attack Sonic. His attacks were slow, however, so Sonic had an advantage.
Sonic ran around and jumped onto the platforms on the golem's back. Sonic jumped onto the first three platforms, hit the symbols on the next three, and whacked the restraining mechanism on the golem's head.
It took six hits before the restraining mechanism was broken. We all rushed into a space shuttle, and it blasted off. Everything was fine. Or was it? Check back later for Chapter 4!
