Chapter Two: Tikal's alive?
"She's alive?" Tails yelled in shock. Nobody of the group could believe that some how, after a year of torture, and a whipping by Metal Sonic, she was alive. Knuckles looked to Chaos, and then fell straight to the ground. In shock, Sonic, Tails, and Amy jumped.
"What was that about?" Sonic yelled.
"Well," Chaos started. "I work fro Robotnick, and him only. I came here to deliver the message. And I did. Tikal is alive, but not for long. You want to face me? Go ahead, I'd like to see you try." Chaos pointed his hand towards Sonic. "Blast." He said. A gigantic fireball shot forward, knocking Sonic backwards, slamming his spine straight into a tree. He grabbed Amy by her waist, and then tossed her into a row of rocks, and then walked to Tails.
"We'll rescue Amy, and once we take you out. You'll be sorry you worked for Robotnick." Tails yelled. He was much taller than Tails, and it seemed like he could cut Tails in two in a split second.
"You are foolish. But I will spare you a savage killing." Chaos said. He just swiped his arms, and then shot Tails off into the horizon. Such strength, not even Knuckles had. Chaos obviously was much stronger than any of them could possibly be. Chaos just sped away, faster than Sonic could even possibly be. He knew that none of them were any type of match for him. Chaos was legend. And the only one, who can stand up to a legend, is another legend. Now, they just needed to find one.
"That Chaos guy really left a mark." Sonic said, cracking his spine over and over. "My spine is killing me!" he complained. Knuckles was basically just sitting there, thinking about Chaos and Tikal. "Tikal was alive!" he kept repeating in his mind. "She's alive!" That's all he could think about. On the outside, his face remained frozen, as if he were stopped in time. Knuckles had a good way of not showing emotions, and fooling people to think that everything was perfectly fine.
"Don't complain to me Sonic!" Amy said in her high-pitched voice. "I got thrown into rocks, and who knows where Tails went." Amy finished.
"Hey guys." Both Sonic and Amy heard from a little over to their left. They both quickly turned to see tails, limping his way towards them. He was a bloody mess. Knuckles was still out on the ground, and now he started spurring. Tails made it up to where Sonic and Amy were standing, and then collapsed onto the ground. It was obvious that he was exhausted from trying to get as far back as he could before he couldn't go any longer. Sonic lifted Tails onto his back, and then placed him by the river and splashed water onto his wounds.
"This is getting ridiculous." Sonic said as Tails started to wake up once again. He was a bloody mess. Most of his fur was covered in blood, probably from landing in the mess of trees that were over in the horizon. Amy held Tails' head up over the water, and then dunked him under, to wake him up. He shot up, coughing his lungs out. Obviously this was a bad idea. Knuckles got up, his head aching like he'd just been hit with a ton of lead.
"I'm going to go save Tikal." Knuckles said as he rubbed his head. "You can come if you'd like. But I will save her." Knuckles started to walk off towards the woods, and then was stopped by a small voice. He turned his head and looked over his shoulder to see Tails, coughing up blood on the ground.
"Don't go." He muttered as loud as he could. "Please Knuckles. You can't beat Chaos, even if we were all in top condition." Knuckles could just barley make out those words. He gritted his teeth, and then turned back to Tails and walked towards him.
"I need to go little guy." He said, Holding Tails' head up. "I need to save Tikal. And if she isn't there, I'll come straight home, it'll be okay." He said. Tails gave a larger cough, and then more blood shot out of his mouth, and over his chin. Knuckles just closed his eyes. Tails was dieing. Slowly.
"What happened to you on the way home?" Sonic asked, now leaning straight over Tails.
"I was walking through the woods, and I ran into Robotnick. That's why I'm so messed up." He said. "Shadow's back too." He muttered. Tails was no match for Shadow. Even Sonic could hardly defeat Shadow, but now, with Shadow back, and Chaos. They never would stand a chance. The only way to beat them would be to save Tikal, so that they could just run and attack. "Rouge is also back." Tails muttered between his teeth, which were blood red. Knuckles' eyes shot open with rage. She was back. Knuckles hated Rouge. The only time he didn't mind her was when they worked together to save the world from the Robotnick satellite. Where Sonic and Shadow both defeated the ultimate life form, and then Shadow died. Because he was attached to the life from, so when it died. He went with it.
"She's back?" Knuckles said in disbelief. "Looks like I'll have to take her out too. Along with Chaos, and Shadow. I'm going." He said. He turned on his heel, and then shot off into the woods, his arms backwards, just like Sonic would do to gain speed. Knuckles was infuriated. Rouge was back, along with Shadow, and this Chaos character. But how? How did all this happen, and why? What could Robotnick be planning? Shadow wouldn't fight on the side of evil anymore. He realized that Maria wanted him to bring joy to the world. So why would he help Robotnick. And Rouge wasn't evil. She was working for the government. So had she turned really evil? It didn't make any sense in Knuckle's part. But he really didn't care. He wanted Tikal back. Chaos gone, Shadow eliminated, and her frankly didn't care what happened to Rouge. But if he needed to, he'd take him out also. No matter what, he was going to rescue Tikal.
"She's alive?" Tails yelled in shock. Nobody of the group could believe that some how, after a year of torture, and a whipping by Metal Sonic, she was alive. Knuckles looked to Chaos, and then fell straight to the ground. In shock, Sonic, Tails, and Amy jumped.
