Chp 04: Former Master (read and review)
Atmosphere
He realized that they were close now. The hedgehog was still generating an oxygen shield, but he was almost gone. They had been in a chunk of ARK for the past few months, but now they planned to return to Earth. They had sent six of the emeralds onto the planet already, keeping one to Chaos Control.
They felt the gravity begin to take hold. The shield was let loose and two words past through the week fox's lips. "Chaos Control."
She continued to run. She had forgotten everything except her goal: to escape. She had to help them, but she didn't know why. So she just kept running..
Off Route 99
"Can you fix it?" Mighty asked anxiously.
"What do you think?" Tails replied, agitated. "Half the wing is gone and I have nothing to replace it with. What the hell do you think!?"
"Chill out!" Knuckles yelled. "We're all worried about Sonic and Shadow, but Espio will be back soon."
"Now." the chameleon stepped into the clearing. "Sorry to say this, but they weren't there. Either they escaped or, well…" the four became silent.
"Why's everybody so quiet?" they saw that standing above them in a tree, was Ray.
Dynamite Academy
Bean the Dynamite Duck laughed as the new cadets ran from his flying bombs. "I love this part of the job!"
"How do you like this?!" someone began to launch his weapons back at him. He panicked and jumped behind his shield.
When the explosions finished, he looked up and yelled, "Who the hell just… Lock?" he began to smile again, seeing his top student. "Well, I'll be. What brings you back here?"
"I'm surprised the academy is still standing after the city blew. Then again, you always were paranoid about that happening."
"Especially after you told me what you planned to do to the Chaotix." the duck caught sight of the new Amy. "Who is this hot-"
She slammed him into the wall and kicked him in the stomach. "The name's Venus."
"Got it."
"Take it easy, V. Bean has a bit of a temper." the armadillo suddenly found a large arm around him and he experienced a strong noogie. "Quit it, Bark!"
The bear let go of his friend. "Good to see you again, Lock. I thought you might have been killed in the explosion earlier this year, but you're still alive and bombing. That was you who blew up the Route 99 Warehouse, right?"
"Me and my partner/ girlfriend, Venus."
"Didn't think love could tie you down, bro."
The hedgehog smiled. "One week at sea can do things."
"I'm sure they can." Bean said, getting his breath back. "So what are you doing in these parts?"
"I need you guys to help us with the biggest job anyone can undertake. We just got rid of Sonic, Shadow, and four other heroes. That leaves five."
"What did we miss in the past few months? Last time we checked, there was a plethora."
"Well, Some were killed, some are in shock, some blown away. That isn't important. What is, is this." Lock brought out a Chaos Emerald. "If we can find all of these, we can take out the remaining heroes and no longer be a minority. You have enough cadets to start a small army. We could show them why the Dynamite Academy is the top of the pack."
Bean took a quick glance at Bark before answering. "Let's make this happen."
