The Child That Could Be Chapter 7
By Angnix
The movie projector began to roll, everyone in the theatre sat in utter anticipation of the appearance of the Werewolf Zombie Vampire Mummy. But instead a boy wearing a chicken costume appeared on the screen.
"I'm Billy Hatcher, inviting all of you to watch my new movie, Billy Hatcher and 1,000 eggs! Please watch my movie! It comes out in only 1 week! I will pay you to watch my movie!"
Knuckles and Sonic threw popcorn at the screen.
"Hey! Don't throw popcorn at me! I just want you to watch my movie!"
Everyone in the audience all the sudden look around kind of creeped out.
"Uh, where are you?"
Billy suddenly appears in front of the screen.
"I was in back; they were projecting that live somehow. I can't afford to make tapes about my movie to distribute to theatres! Please watch my movie!"
Knuckles picks up a chair and throws it at Billy, Billy runs away and Knuckles shakes his spiked fist toward the projector room.
"No more previews! Get to the movie!"
Sonic turns to Knuckles confused.
"I thought you didn't want to see this movie!"
"Anything's better than that kid!"
The men in the projector room quickly fast forwarded the film to the start of the movie, Knuckles now satisfied sat back down in his chair.
On the screen a fox girl and a badger guy appeared on the screen. They were walking through creepy, dark, scary woods filled with dead trees. They both looked scared, the fox girl was about to cry.
"They say that the Werewolf Zombie Vampire Mummy lives in these woods! They say it has already gone on 22 killing sprees before!"
The badger turned confidently to the fox.
"Don't worry! That's just silly, there's no such thing as a Werewolf Zombie Vampire Mummy!"
"I certainly hope so!"
They walked a little longer to some creepy music, all of the sudden the Werewolf Zombie Vampire Mummy popped out from behind a tree. Amy suddenly started to scream, Tikal put her hand over Amy's mouth.
"There is no need to scream over something that is so obviously not real!"
"Bu-but it's so scary!"
But then suddenly laughter could be heard coming from Kentlechan. Tails turned to him wondering what was so funny.
"Uh Kentlechan, what is so amusing?"
"That mummy's rapped all wrong! The bandages are wrapped clockwise around its torso when they should be wrapped counterclockwise! I have seen many a mummy wrapped so I should know!"
"Uhhhh, could you just keep it down, Sonic and Knuckles might look back here and see us before we want then too."
But it was too late, Sonic recognized Amy's voice anywhere and Sonic and Knuckles were already staring at them. Sonic and Knuckles seeing the group of people decided that their best bet would be to try to run, Knuckles ran for the wall and punched a hole clean through it and he and Sonic tried to bolt, but Kentlechan stopped Knuckles using his supernatural powers right in his tracks and Sonic wondering who this jackal was stopped and turned back, but only to be grabbed by Amy. Kentlechan gave Knuckles a death look.
"I am Kentlechan, you met me as the ghost King Boom Boo and I forced Tails to bring me back to life! Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds I shall now kill you!"
Knuckles gave Tails a harsh glare.
"Um, sorry?"
Sonic would have helped, but the sight of Kentlechan who now looked super scary had just caused Amy to tighten her grip on Sonic and now he was suffocating. But Rouge hit him with a Screw Kick and sent the Chaos Emeralds flying, then she kicked Kentlechan more until he was knocked out cold, Tails picked up the Chaos Emeralds. Knuckles looked relieved.
"Thanks Rouge, you saved my life!"
"Don't thank me yet stinking echidna! I knocked him out so I can be the one that gets you! You ran out on me! No one runs out on Rouge the Bat! Your coming back home with me and finishing what you started, or else!"
Rouge lunged at Knuckles and before he could do anything Knuckles was knocked out cold by a swift kick. Rouge then went in to pick him up and drag him off but Tikal stood in front of him.
"No! You are not correct, you need to realize I am the one that belongs with Knuckles, not you!"
"Little sweet Tikal, the one that wants to steel my man, you will die!"
Rouge went in for a swift kick, but Tikal was able to use her quickness to get away. Tails then came in and tried to hit Rouge with a Tail Swipe, but Rouge turned around real quick and delivered a Black Wave to Tails that put him out cold too. Amy was just too scared to do anything, she was still squeezing Sonic who by this point had passed out. Now it was just Rouge and Tikal. Rouge continued to try to kick the girl, but she dodged every single attack.
"Don't you realize that violence is not the answer to anything? Please stop trying to hurt me, it is wrong."
"Shut up you little brat, or I will make it serious!"
Tikal really didn't want to fight, it was totally against her nature, so she started to climb up a nearby wall. Rouge followed her, but Rouge wasn't as fast as Tikal so she lagged a little. At this time Knuckles came to, but his head was killing him and he couldn't get up. He looked around and noticed everyone was out of commission, then he looked up and saw Rouge going after Tikal, but he was too injured to do anything so all he could do was watch and think.
"All of this because I left the island to seek out Rouge. If only I had stayed behind to guard the Emerald like I should of none of this would have happened. All because of my selfishness. Now poor Tikal will be clobbered by Rouge, poor innocent Tikal with those innocent eyes."
Knuckles started to cry. Tikal had reached the roof top, but Rouge who was more determined than ever reached the roof top soon afterwards. Rouge wasn't going to play around anymore, she twirled around suddenly and sent a Black Wave toward Tikal. Tikal was semi-able to duck the attack, but it slightly hit her and she was knocked off the edge of the roof. Knuckles heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Tikal!"
But Tikal just turned her body around and went into a glide. Rouge jumped off the building and followed her. Knuckles looked puzzled.
"Hmm, I guess I'm not the only gliding echidna."
Tikal landed on the ground followed by Rouge. Tikal was getting desperate, she just couldn't shake Rouge. She suddenly turned toward Rouge and put her hand up in the air.
"I have no choice, I'm sorry, I really didn't want it to come to this. Heaven's Justice!"
Suddenly lightning struck Rouge, but she got up, her fur was a little singed.
"Ahh, so you do have some power don't you? Well, you are still no match for me!"
Rouge turned around suddenly again delivering another Black Wave aimed at Tikal. Tikal was getting ticked off now, she was able to quickly dodge Rouge's attack again. Tikal raised her hand in the air delivering more lightning in Rouge's direction. It was a direct hit, now Rouge was lying on the ground unconscious. Tikal didn't know what to think.
"What have I done?"
Suddenly Tikal caught something red in the corner of her eye. It was Knuckles, he was crawling slowly toward her.
"The question Tikal is what have I done. Just look at this mess, all my fault for leaving the island. Everything would have been just swell if I stayed where I belonged."
"Knuckles, you do not know that for sure, it is unwise to speculate about something that could have occurred. There is no way to go back in the past and change what has occurred, you have to live life with no regrets."
Amy who let go of Sonic then looked down and saw what she had done to Sonic.
"Oh Sonic! I'm sorry!"
Tikal walked over to Amy and put her hand on Amy's shoulder.
"Don't you think it is time for you to stop chasing after Sonic like you do? Your actions cause more harm than they do good. I have realized that too. If Knuckles doesn't want me, I can't make him want me. Amy you need to grow up."
Sonic opened his eyes.
"Tikal does make a very good point Amy. The way you treat me makes me hate being around you. And to tell you the truth that makes me sad."
"I make you sad Sonic? I didn't know that."
Amy started to sob, Tikal went over and tried to comfort Amy.
"Amy, it is not too late for you to change, you need to realize that maybe Sonic is not the one for you."
"But Tikal, I know for sure that Sonic is the one for me!"
"How can you know?"
Amy was thinking about the visit from the future from Eric who told her that Sonic and Amy would get married someday. But Amy remembered her promise not to say anything.
"Never mind."
Knuckles was now standing up, everyone else was waking up too, Knuckles went over and punched Kentlechan again before he regained consciousness. Rouge woke up too and just looked at Knuckles. Knuckles gave her a cold hard look.
"Rouge, I want you to leave right now, how dare you attack a girl that didn't want to fight back?"
"Because she tried to take away what I have already claimed as my own!"
"I am just a piece of property to you, right? Well I am not a piece of property! Get out of my sight Rogue, I'm feeling much better now and I will not hesitate you clobber you!"
Rouge just walked away. She was still mad, but didn't want to say anything right now. Knuckles turned around and looked at everyone else.
"I think it is time to go back to the Emerald since no one's guarding it."
"Oh Knuckles, Chaos is guarding the Emerald again, you really don't have to go back."
"But I have to. That is my job. I might not be happy with it sometimes, but it is."
