Phantom Girls
Let's Go!: Episode 5
The Phantom Girls dispersed as Tyra launched herself at Rouge. The bat took off into the air dodging the cat's wild attack leaving Tyra to search for another target. She looked to her right at Amy and hissed before charging towards the hedgehog. Amy quickly pulled back her hammer and swung it at Tyra with all of her strength sending the cat into the air where Rouge swooped in and caught her.
"Going down!!" Rouge shouted swinging Tyra over her shoulder.
With tremendous speed and strength, Rouge shot the evil villain towards the pavement below. Tyra slammed into the pavement leaving an indentation and causing Amy and Cream to flinch. The girls cautiously watched the motionless body for any movements.
"Is she dead?" Cream asked.
"I don't know." Amy answered.
Rouge slowly descended to the ground near Tyra.
"Hmm… she seems to be out cold." Rouge said bending over for a closer look.
Suddenly the cat's hand shot out and grabbed Rouge's neck choking her. As Tyra's grip tightened around the bat's neck, she began to stand up lifting Rouge up off the ground.
"Looks can be deceiving…" the feline hissed.
Tyra grinned evilly as Rouge's face turned blue but the fun ended when a small object hit Tyra from behind. The cat looked behind her with narrow eyes to see Cheese falling to the ground dazed a bit. An even larger object caught her attention and Tyra's eyes looked up at an angry Cream flying towards her.
"Let Miss Rouge go!" the small rabbit cried out.
Using her free hand, Tyra swatted Cream away and kicked Cheese away as well. She then heard Amy's battle cry and spun around to face the charging hedgehog. With not hesitation Tyra threw Rouge to the ground and stopped Amy's hammer in mid air. The two girls were in a power struggle with Amy pushing hard to attack and Tyra pushing back in defense.
"Stupid girl." the cat struggled to say. "You'll never overpower me!"
"Maybe not alone… but my friends will help!" Amy suddenly jumped away causing Tyra to stumble forward.
It was a surprise attack. Rouge came in from behind with a swift kick to Tyra's back knocking her onto her stomach. The bat then landed harshly on the villain's back and dug one of her heels into it. Tyra screamed out in excruciating pain with Rouge showing no signs of letting up.
"Had enough?" the sly bat asked.
"N…never!" Tyra answered withholding her pain.
Fed up with the team attacks, Tyra pushed herself off the ground with Rouge jumping off and landing a short distance away. Amy moved in for another attack but the cat was ready this time. She grabbed onto the hammer's head and snatched it away from the hedgehog. Her cat pupils had shrunken into small slits frightening Amy.
"Someone could get hurt with a weapon like this…" Tyra said giving the hammer a short look.
Quickly she grabbed onto the handle and spun around hitting Amy in the face. The young girl was knocked back and tumbled across the pavement unconscious. Tyra heard Rouge charging at her from behind and flipped into the air dodging the bat's attack. As soon as she landed, Tyra attacked Rouge with the hammer but the bat blocked the attack with one arm knocking the weapon out of the cat's hands. But Tyra didn't let up on her attacks. She lunged at Rouge with her claws out and swiped at the bat furiously. The attacks were quick but Rouge was just as quick with blocking each swipe. The bat received a few scratches on her arms but that wasn't enough to stop her defense.
Suddenly Tyra began to ease up on her attacks and Rouge took the initiative for a comeback. As the cat attacked once more, Rouge blocked the attack and knocked Tyra's hands away leaving her body wide open. The bat jumped up and kicked Tyra in the stomach knocking her back. As the villain tried to recover from the sudden blow, Cheese jumped onto her face and attacked her with his tiny fists. Tyra ripped Cheese off of her face and threw him into a brick wall nearby knocking the poor chao out.
"Cheese!!" Cream cried out with tears in her eyes.
The rabbit wildly flapped her wings and flew after Tyra at full speed. The cat held out a hand behind her and her eyes glowed a fiery red. An invisible wave of energy exploded out of Tyra's hand and collided with Cream striking her back and knocking her unconscious. The cat jumped to her feet and glared at Rouge with her red eyes. Rouge got into a fighting stance ready for anything that came her way.
"You know before I beat the life out of you I'd just want to tell you this: don't ever underestimate me. That's how your male counterparts fell under my power." Tyra growled.
"Thanks for the warning." Rouge replied casually.
In the blink of an eye a wave of energy was shot out at Rouge. The bat flew into the air being missed by a few inches and then she dove towards Tyra. Rouge attempted a kick attack at the cat but it was blocked easily by a powerful hand. Time seemed to have stop for that split second and Rouge could've sworn she saw Tyra's eyes look at her and a smirk was on the cat's face. Without any warning two powerful hands grabbed onto Rouge's ankle and she was swung around screaming out of control. Rouge then felt herself being thrown high into the air and Tyra held both of her hands towards the sky. A large red beam of energy shot into the night sky hitting Rouge in her back.
She fell towards the ground unable to control herself with the red beam slowly disintegrating. Miraculously Rouge was able to regain control but felt a sharp pain in her back. She glided to the ground but still crashed rather harshly and laid on the pavement in unbearable pain. As the bat struggled to pushed herself onto her side, Tyra approached her and shook her head.
"Not bad, but you and your little entourage still have a long way to go before you can even match up to me." Tyra smirked at Rouge. "Come back when you 'Pansy Girls' are actually ready to take me on."
With that said Tyra disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Rouge fanned away the smoke and looked at her friends who were still lying motionless on the ground. Some changes were going to have to be made in order to meet up with Tyra's challenge.
"There has to be a way…" Rouge thought.
