Realizing True Power: Part 2 of 2
"Hang on son," Knuckles yelled to Jerry-su. Jerry-su floated inside the giant water bubble. He had to think something and quick. Slowly, he began to swing his arms and kick his legs attempting to swim out. He was going nowhere fast. On the outside, Knuckles looked around to see what he could use. "There's gotta be something," he thought. He noticed a large boulder and ran to pick it up. "Look out Julie-su." And with that, Knuckles threw the boulder at the ball. His eyes widened as he watched the boulder hit the water sphere denting it. The boulder had no affect. Quickly Knuckles lunged at the sphere with his fists straight out slamming into it. "That didn't work either," he said panting.
"Stand back," Julie-su said stepping in front of Knuckles. She reached for her thigh which had a second gun strapped to it. She aimed the two guns and began her assault on the sphere (picture Lara Croft except with an Echidna's body). Knuckles soon joined her and continued punching the sphere.
Jerry-su began to feel weak. He was running out of air and fast. He coughed up some bubbles and quickly covered his mouth. "I gotta get outta here," he thought. Then suddenly, an image popped into his mind. It was a dream from when he was a baby (the same in chapter 2. or was it 3?). He could see two women looking down at him.
"Jerry-su it is time," said one of them.
"Aurora?" Jerry-su said identifying them. "And Tikal."
"Yes," Tikal replied. "You must quickly use the power of the Gemini Emerald."
"But how," Jerry-su said rubbing his forehead. "I've never used it before."
"You must let loose all the energy in your body and concentrate it into your forehead," Aurora replied. "Only then will you be able to harness its power."
"Here take of this sword," Tikal said as an enormous sword appeared before Jerry-su. "This is the Master Sword. It has the ability to transform into another sword called the Master Saber."
"How do I call on these weapons?"
"We will let you find out for yourself," Aurora said fading away. And with that, the image ended and Jerry-su woke up in the real world. He noticed his mother and father trying as hard as they could to help him. He knew he had to help them to help him.
"Okay all I need to do send my energy into the emerald," Jerry-su did just as he was told. "and just let it out."
Jerry-su's eyes began to glow bright green as well did the emerald on his forehead. He slowly spun around absorbing energy. The water sphere began to expand bigger and bigger and glow a bright pinkish color. Knuckles and Julie-su stopped their attacks and backed away. They didn't know what the heck was going on.
"Jerry-su," Julie-su screamed in terror. Tears came rushing down her face. She was afraid of what would happen to her son. "Knuckles do something."
Knuckles didn't respond. He didn't know how to react. If he tried to attack he might destroy his son. If he did nothing he'd probably lose his son. He watched the sphere get larger and larger until it just exploded. Water droplets fell all over the place. Knuckles lay on the ground from the impact of the explosion. He jumped to his feet and shook himself dry. He looked around for Julie-su and saw she had fainted. Knuckles ran to check on her, he put his hand over her forehead to check her temperature. Everything seemed fine. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh," she moaned waking up. "Knuckles?"
"Oh you're awake," Knuckles sighed again. "you okay?"
"Where's Jerry-su?"
Knuckles turned his head toward the Master Emerald shrine. At the very top stood Jerry-su. His eyes were still glowing green and a green aura coming from his body. He held an enormous sword in his hand. It had a clean silver blade, and had the handle was as long as one his arms. Jerry-su looked down at his father and mother.
"Are you alright," he asked in a god like voice.
"I am now," Julie-su replied still laying on the ground. Jerry-su leaped off the emerald shrine and gracefully landed next to her and Knuckles.
"What about you dad," Jerry-su calmly said. Knuckles replied with a nod. "You know after defeating those things I thought the sky would return to normal but its still dark."
"That's because they weren't the reason the sky darkened," yelled an unknown voice. "So Jerry-su the Echidna we finally meet"
Jerry-su put his sword before himself prepared for a fight. A large pillar of light shot from the sky and landed in front of him. Two large ears came from sides of. They looked hairy and appeared to be elephant ears. A large tusk came out as well. Then the rest of the body came out revealing a mammoth wearing a purple suit and he carried a black cane.
"Mogul Mammoth," Jerry-su blurted.
"I see you've of me young one," Mogul said smiling. "No doubt from your father. It's been a while Knuckles." Knuckles didn't respond. He just glared at Mogul in disgust.
"Very well," Mogul looked back at Jerry-su. A strange glow came from under his suit. It was the same glow as Jerry-su's emerald. "You see Jerry-su the Gemini Emeralds you and I poses have some amazing powers."
"I already know," Jerry-su snapped back. "And whatever you're offering I don't want anything to do with it."
"Please Jerry-su," Mogul begged. "Join me. Together we can rule this imperfect universe. We can make it a better place."
"This universe is already perfect without you!" Jerrys-su said running at Mogul. He raised his sword preparing to attack.
"Okay then," Mogul said in anger. "I'll have to remove the emerald from your body. And I'll take the Master Emerald along with it."
Jerry-su swung his enormous sword. Mogul quickly reacted by blocking with his right tusk. He raised his enormous fist and punched Jerry-su in the face sending him flying into a tree. Jerry-su brushed himself of all the dust and charged at Mogul a second time. Mogul ripped off the top half of his suit revealing a muscular body with an emerald in the center of his chest. The emerald on his chest shot out a large blast of energy. Jerry-su caught the blast with his sword pushing him back. He found the strength to push the blast to push the blast rite back at Mogul. Mogul's eye's widened with amazing as the blast hit him. Jerry-su wasted no time and continued rushing at his enemy.
"I can't this let this guy hurt take my Gemini Emerald. I can't let him take the Master Emerald either," he said in his mind.
His sword glowed bright green just as did his emerald and began to change form. The blade changed into a saber blade. The handle was a little shorter (a little bit like Megaman Zero's sword.)
"Master Saber," he yelled at the top of his lungs. He stabbed his saber into Mogul emerald. Mogul shrieked in extreme pain and threw Jerry-su off him.
"I see," he moaned. "You learned how to harness your power very fast, we will meet again Jerry-su." Mogul yelled as he disappeared. The sky returned to its regular blue color and the clouds a returned to their regular shape.
Jerry-su set down his sword. His eyes retained their regular color and his saber disappeared. He fell to his knees unable to hold his self up. Knuckles and Julie-su ran to Jerry-su's side to help him up.
"Jerry-su," Knuckles said. "You did it son."
"Dad," Jerry-su moaned. "Did I beat him? Is he dead?"
"No sweetie," Julie-su replied. "But he wont' be back for a long time. For now you should rest."
"You have a long journey ahead of you son."
And that Jerry-su did. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in his mother's arms.
The End?
So what did you think? I will make more stories with Jerry-su. And I will also make some stories on another character who's name I haven't decided on yet. So be on the look out.
