AS: Hi everyone. Schools getting pretty rough. Sorry for not updating for a looooooooooong time. I'm almost done to. Maybe two or three more chapters. Hehehe. Surprise when I put up part two of the series. A big surprise!
Personal quote: We are nothing without our emotions. They make us, us.
Beginning of the End
The days were getting harder for the Underground. Ariel was worried. The past few nights she was having a dream of Ares killing Sonic in front of her. Those dreams gave her a chill. Yelling pulled her out of her thoughts. Another fight between the triplets.
"Why do they always fight?" she asked. Lunaria let a soft glow out of her jewel.
/They are in for a surprise soon./ Lunaria stated with a giggle in her voice.
//What do you mean?// Ariel asked.
/The final battle of yours is coming. Theirs will soon follow. You probably won't be here, but you will still give Sonic a reason to fight./ Lunaria said with a great laugh at the blush that she could feel on Ariel's face. Ariel calmed down after about a minute.
//How did you guys know that Ares was the enemy?// she asked.
/Instinct and Nemic. He's our, ally. He told us what was going on. He was sent by the other Guardians. Let's not worry about that now. Let's worry about your love life!/
//Lunaria.// Ariel groaned and cut off the link. She looked up from her maps and diaries of famous warriors of Mobius. She was learning a lot. About Martial Arts, that is. She wanted to be ready for the final showdown.
"You really need to take a break," Sonic said as a entered the room. She looked up at him with a glare. He placed both of his hands up and took a step back.
"You're right, but I have a feeling that if I leave something'll happen to you guys," she said with a wry smile. He shook his head, but had a smile on his face.
"Want to go for a run?" Sonic asked. Ariel smirked. She loved running. The feel of the wind in her hair, the burning in her muscles, and being with Sonic. She blushed and looked down quickly.
"You ok?" he asked. She slowly took a breath and sighed out loud.
/The three are waiting for you, Ariel,/ a voice said in her mind.
//Nemic!// Ariel sent through the silent link but was too late. He had already cut off her link. She remembered the first time that he had spoken to her in that way.
~Flashback~
Ariel's POV
I was running toward the area that I knew 'Buttnic was in. I could feel the spirits screaming. The wind flew through my fur.
/Ariel, be careful. Ares has betrayed you,/ a voice stated. I was startled. That was Nemic's voice. I was so sure of it. I continued until I saw 'Buttnic with the jewels, using the true spirits within them.
~End Flashback~
She looked over at Sonic and sighed. He looked at her. There eyes met for just a brief instant before the pain of the jewels. She screamed and slumped over in pain.
"Ariel!" Sonic yelped and grabbed her. He slowly rubbed her back and down her spin. She whimpered in pain.
"They are calling. They need me. Earth, Light, and Darkness call to me. I have to go," she said in monotone and walked out the door. Sonic grabbed her and held her tight against his chest until she came out of her trans.
"Ariel," Sonic whispered in her ear. She gasped at the feeling of his breath on her ears. She screamed within her soul. It pained her. She knew she would only hurt him eventually.
"Get Sonia and Manic. We're leaving yesterday," she said with a growl and pulled herself out of his arms. If she had turned around, she would have noticed the faintest of red on his face.
~Later~
The energy ran fully through the city. She could sense it. Her white fur was standing on end. Beside her were her three closest friends that she had ever had. They all took off for the weird black light in the middle of Robotropolis. There was Ares and 'Buttnic standing in the middle of the light. Three jewels were around them.
/No,/ Ariel thought. /Warrior of darkness. The true enemy./
"Ariel, tonight is your last night," he stated with a growl. She glared at him.
//We're with you,// a multitude of voices told her in her mind. She gave a soft smile.
"You won't lay a hand on her, Ares!" a voice called above everything. Everyone looked at the top of a building. It was Nemic, and he was pissed. He glared full heartedly at the wolf in question.
"Nemic," Ariel whispered. Sonic had to swallow a growl. He didn't like the attention that he was getting from Ariel.
"Fight. That is all I can ask of you. Fight for us all. The final key shall come soon. The die is cast. The final battle has begun," Nemic stated.
