Chapter 6
Stage I Act I: The race is on
Everyone looked at me, hoping for a solution.
"Eggman has 4 of the chaos emeralds," I said, "and there are 7 in all. If he doesn't have all of them, it will take longer to charge up. Tails, can you hack into Eggman's main database and find as much information as you can on the Dimension Destroyer."
"Okay," said Tails, and he started typing something into his Tornado 2.
"Tikal, Knuckles, you go and find as many of the Chaos emeralds and Super emeralds as you can," I said.
"Okay," said Tikal and Knuckles, and they ran off.
"Once Tails has found all the information we need, we'll start getting ready." I said, walking back and forth. "If I'm going to keep the old tornado, I'm going to have to make it look new." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Now, with that out of the way, I'm going to explain what we're going to have to do. We are going to have to get into Flying Battery Zone and destroy the dimensional destroyer without setting it off. We'll have to be fast, because the dimensional destroyer could go off at any moment." Everyone looked at me in a weird way. I stared at Rouge. "I did it again, didn't I?" She nodded. I looked worried, then my fear got the better of me, and I ran off into the woods, almost knocking Knuckles over. Tikal stared at him.
"What's with him?" she asked.
"He was probably talking too much again." said Knuckles, "Belive me, I know what it's like." I kept runningn until I came to a stop in front of a large tree. I collapsed on the roots, breathing heavily. I looked at the tree, and noticed that something was carved into the bark. I ran back to Knuckles.
"Follow me!" I said as I turned around. I started running as fast as I could back to the tree, Tikal and Knuckles following me.
"What is it?" said Tikal, looking at the markings.
"Wait a minute." said Knuckles, "This appears to be instructions to an immortality ritual." At the sound of the word 'Immortality' I started swaying back and forth. "Let's see here. It reads as follows...
eno le wej llams d na eerht sle wej egral ro
sle wej deroloc neves morf semoc y grene eht
rewop etinif nievah sutel
efil lanrete evah sutel."
"That's an Anagram!" I said, recognizing it after a few minutes. "It reads: Let us have eternal life, let us have infinite power, the energy comes from seven colored jewels, or large jewels three and small jewel one." I read on. "Stand in a circle around the millenium symbol in groups of two. All shall chant the preceeding verses while laying on their back. The five groups of two will hold hands and lay on their back so they form a star. Then place the seven colored jewels around the outside of the circle, and place the master emerald inside the star. If the ritual is performed correctly, all the people who were involved will be surrounded by a blue-green aura, indicating that they now have immortality."
"That's complex." said Tikal. "Where are we going to find 10 people?"
"We can worry about that later!" I said,"You have to keep looking for the Chaos Emeralds!" I raced home to tell Sonic what I had found, but when I got there, there seemed to be nobody around. I walked down the stairs and into Tails' workshop. I could see a bright blue light, flickering every now and then. As I walked down the metal stairs, I could see sparks shooting out from the underside of the Tornado 2. "Hey Tails, how are the upgrades coming along?"
"I've added stealth wings to avoid detection by Eggmans robots and I'm working on a signal reciever." said Tails, pointing to 10 bracelets on a nearby table. Each of them was a different color. I looked closely, and I saw that 8 of them had names on them. "I'm installing a reciever to recieve the singals sent out by those bracelets. It will tell me where you are located." I took the one that had my name and put it on.
"Cool!" I said, "See ya." I walked back up the stairs, wondering if we really could put an end to Eggman's reign of evil.
