Fight and Discovery pt.2: The Meeting
Nimbus opened her eyes when she was sure the light had died down. It had gotten dead quiet all of the sudden and she hurried to Roxanne-Li's chambers. Heaving against the large doors, Nimbus grunted as she pushed them open as searched the open space for any sign of what happened. She gasped as she saw nothing….
Shades and Emblem raced through the hallways of the shrine heading for the large chambers where the Chaos Ruby, instinct telling them to do so as the hedgehog and echidna both thought that the cause of the bright light was the Chaos Ruby. Turning the last hallway's corner, they spotted Nimbus in side of Roxanne's chambers looking around bewildered.
"Nimbus!" Emblem looking around the room also. "Where is Roxanne?" Emblem questioned as she approach Nimbus. She shrugged.
"I….don't know. When I got here, they were gone." Nimbus replied.
"They?" Shades inquired. Emblem nodded.
"Yes…She must've been training with the hedgehog, Shadow, I told you about. So what was that light?"
"Yes. Seems the Ruby must've been pulsating with power. But why? It seems fine now."
"I don't know Shades….I just don't know."
Meanwhile on Angel Island…
Knuckles was close to the temple where the Master Emerald rested on its dais. –I hope the others are having some luck in find the chaos emeralds.- He sigh crossing his arms as he continued through the forest of Angel Island….
Roxanne opened her eyes, only to by blinded by a bright light. She shielded her eyes slowly sitting up. She sat up holding the back of her head.
"Owww…That hurt! What the hell did you do Shadow?!" Rox looked around noticing that the black hedgehog was no where in sight. "Shadow?" she stands up dusting herself off. "Shadow!" she calls. Her voice echoed through the forest. –A forest?! Where in the world am I?- She started walking through the woods clutching her quarter staff cautiously. "Where is Shadow?" she asked herself aloud. She stopped in her tracks, her senses seeming to sharpen as she sensed a strange power coming from her left. Curiously she walked toward that direction…..
Shadow's eyes narrowed as he looked around the forest.
"Seems something's wrong with my Chaos Control." Shadow glanced at the gem in his hand. –Where is that Echidna girl?- Shadow thought. At that moment, the wind began to pick up. He looked up in the sky noticing all of the birds flying in one direction. Then he heard a deep voice chuckling. "Who's there?" Shadow's eyes narrowed as he strained to see something—anything out of the ordinary.. In a gust of wind, appeared the figure from before.
"My business here is none of your concern hedgehog!" Shadow frowned slightly as he felt the strange power radiating off of him. At that moment, the Chaos Emerald he had began to glow. Shadow notices this then frowned at the firgure before him.
"It's you! You're the reason my Chaos control didn't work like it should have!" Shadow accused taking a step toward the figure. He laughs.
"'Your Chaos Control'? Hedgehog, the Chaos control was NEVER meant for lesser beings like yourself to control." The figure laughed. Before Shadow could reply to the crude remake, the figure cuts him off. "Now If you'll excuse me, I have the Master Emerald to steal! Then I'll be back for your emerald." and with that he was gone in the same gust of wind.
"Master Emerald?" Shadow's eyes widened slightly. "I'm on Angel Island!" Shadow looks at where the figure once stood clutching his fist. "I have to get to the Master Emerald before he does or who knows what'll happen." And with that the black hedgehog took off in a speedy run toward the shrine where the Master Emerald lie…..
Meanwhile….
Master Jericho had arrived at the shrine once he got word of what had happened and now he, Nimbus, Shades and Emblem where in Roxanne-Li's chambers where the Ruby sat upon its dais.
"And that's what happened Master Jericho. They just….disappeared." Nimbus says.
"And we have no idea where they went." Emblem added. Shades looked at his grandfather.
"You don't think they could have gone far do you?" Shades asked the older echidna. Master Jericho thought for while before answering.
"Yes…Yes I do. I do not sense a trace of Rox-Li's energy at all. She must be really far from here. I can only wonder where she is." Jericho looks at the Ruby which no longer glowed. It seemed to know that it's guardian was no longer near. –But where could she be?- the others seemed to think in unison….
On Angel Island…
Sauntering through the forest and coming upon the shrine of the Master Emerald, Roxanne-Li stood outside pondering whether she should enter or not but an overwhelming power seemed to pull her in like a magnet. So of course, curiosity getting the best of her, Roxanne entered seeming to have a set destination. Now Roxanne stared in awe at the pretty gem that stood before her on the large dais. Gently placing her quarter-staff down, she looked at the glowing gem jewel.
"That power…It's like the Ruby." Roxanne-Li spoke. Slowly she reached to touch it but before her hand made contact with the glowing gem, she heard a sound behind her. She turns around only to have to dodge the fist of someone. Instinct told her to fight back instead getting a good look at who the attacker was…
She penned her attacker on his back pressing her hooked claws to his neck with a growl.
"Who are you and why did you attack me!" she growled.
"Why are you trying to steal MY EMERALD!" came a fiery reply. –Just my luck. Here I am stuck in the middle of no where and this Echidna decides to attack—AN ECHIDNA!- For a brief moment, Roxanne's guard dropped. Knuckles looked up at the "would-be" thief and reality struck him in face like a ton of bricks. This "thief" was another Echidna…a female Echidna…And she had him in a rather "compromising" position. Roxanne-Li gasped quickly letting the red echidna up. Recollection of what he said finally came to her mind.
"Steal? I wasn't trying to 'steal' anything." Roxanne-Li answered slightly insulted. Knuckles looked at her and sensing no falsehood in what she said, he crossed his arms.
"Hmmm…Well, who are you?" he asked a little more calmly now.
"My name is Roxanne-Li." Roxanne-Li picked up her quarter-staff. She looked at him. "Who might you be?" she asked in the same calm voice, convinced that he would not attack her again.
"My name is Knuckles." He answers.
"Well, care to tell me where I am Knuckles?" She inquired.
"You're on Angel Island." Another voice replied. Coming from the dark was Shadow with his arms crossed.
"Shadow!" Knuckles and Roxanne-Li shouted in unison. The two looked at one another but before something was said, Roxanne-Li turned her attention to the black hedgehog and frowned.
"Where the HELL have you been." She growled punching her fist threateningly. "AND WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO GET US HERE?!"
"Thought I'd watch your little fight before revealing myself." He paused turning his attention to Knuckles.
"So Echidna, where's the two-tailed fox and the Faker?" Shadow asked clearly asking about Sonic and Tails.
"They're looking for the other Chaos Emerald, and speaking of which, we're going to need the one you have." Knuckles explained pointing at the gem he had. "We have a new enemy on our hands who wants my Emerald and something about the Chaos jewels." Roxanne gasped.
"That's a chaos emerald?" Roxanne says surprised.
"Yes…One of seven." Shadow replied. –Then that explained why I couldn't get near that gem with out that strange feeling. It was a Chaos Emerald. I should have known.-
"Well, It seems we have a lot to discuss…about this enemy and the Chaos Jewels." Shadow says.
"And about how I'm going to get home."
Well, that it for chapter 5. PLZ R&R!! The next chapter, Rouge and the Chaotix make a scene. And Sonic and Tails find another Emerald. See Ya Later!
