Knuckles & Tikal

As Knux and Tikal made their way through the jungle, Tikal kept saying "there's something strange going on there…" Knuckles was determined to find what it was. They weaved through the jungle, not running, but walking. Soon, they arrived. There was a strange blue mist around the temple grounds, two of the four statues were busted, and there was a ghost of an angry echidna by the steps. Knuckles was curious.

"Hey, you! What happened here?" The ghost disappeared. "Aww, thanks. That helps." Then, it reappeared right in front of Knuckles and screamed really loud. It scared him so that he fell back. Tikal ran to him. At least five ghosts appeared and surrounded them. They were screaming, yet not as loud now. Tikal was frightened. Then, they disappeared and a ghost of an elderly lady appeared.

"The spirits are disturbed! Something is terribly wrong…"

"What does it mean?"

"I don't know…." They took one last look at the temple and went towards the valley.

I sat by the Master Amethyst, just thinking of my past. What happened then? How did the echidna race turn out like this? As I thought, I started to feel a terrible presence. I turned towards the stair set and saw a pinkish black figure.

"Hmm… is this a sort of power source?" the figure asked as it walked to the Master Amethyst.

"Hahaha….. this looks powerful. Along with these gemstones around the forest." I watched as the figure jumped to the Shadow Amethyst of Chaos' pedestal. She grabbed it and jumped back to me. She saw me and nearly fainted.

"Wha… WHAT? ANOTHER ECHIDNA? SO NOW THERE'S TWO BESIDES ME!" I nodded and ran towards her with my spear. She smiled. "My name is Gerocina." She used the Shadow Amethyst of Chaos to knock me down. "And don't forget it! She then ran away.

"Oh, no… she's got the Shadow Amethyst of Chaos..."

Sonic, Thystan, Marcy, and Team Flux

"So Thystan, explain this new threat."

"Marcy! I just told you ten minutes ago!"

"Well, I just got here, remember?" Thystan frowned.

"Ok. Gerocina is a surviving echidna. She escaped the battlefield before it was too late. She never cared about anyone. She thought she was the only echidna left, so she enjoyed it immensely."

"Was she a slut?" Everyone looked at Marcy. She blushed. "Hey, just asking." "She would bathe in the sun with lemon shake ups and things like that, laughing at all the other echidnas who didn't make it. Then she found out she wasn't the only one. When this happened, she was pissed. The rest is not known of her, but she is trying to destroy Mobius." Sonic smiled.

"So I guess we will have to go all out on her, huh? Maybe we should prepare for the trip. After all, we aren't taking any transportation vehicles." Tails turned towards his house.

"I'll be right back. Anyone want one of my lime slushes?" Everyone nodded. He smiled. His giant TV could be seen from where they were. Frynic was currently watching the news on it. It was on a broadcast of the Echidna Temple.

"Maybe that's why Knuckles was so rushy today." Kari pointed out. Sonic agreed.

"Yeah, that would make Tikal go crazy, so Knux is probably going to take care of it now." The report on the Temple ended, and the channel went on commercial. Frynic yawned and walked over to the group. Tails followed with 11 slushes.

"Okay, here. Marcy, since you're so bit- I, mean…. Whiney about the flavor, I added an extra few cherries and you're 'daily banana'." She jumped with glee. Thystan looked at Kari, who blushed back at him. They stood there, drinking their slushes and talking about various things. Mijjett started twisting his body for his own amusement.

"This technology that Master equipped me with will provide useful in this journey. It will also be good for break dancing." He then started to break dance, spinning his upper torso. Everyone laughed. All of a sudden, Frynic pointed to the TV and said

"Look, it's Gerocina! She's in Cypote!" Everyone looked at the TV. A small, orangish-pinkish colored echidna was using a strong blast, with a radius at least of 3,500 yards, to destroy the city of Cypote. Her power was unbelievable. For a brief second, Sonic though he saw Shadow out of the corner of his eyes. He looked. No one there. He watched the TV more. The small echidna now held a dark purple amethyst. Thystan flinched.

"OH NO! SHE'S GOT AN AMETHYST!" Frynic and Thystan ran forward. "If she gets all five, she could be the death of Mobius!"

Team Restlex

Madrix, Liartra, and Squire were all running back from Tails' house.

"Yeah! We finally got some!" Squire ran alongside Madrix, and they clapped hands. Liartra had a 12 pack of Wild Stallion in his hand.

"Yeah! Energy drinks! They always have the best flavors!" This was not looking good. As hyper as they always were, these small cans of catastrophe would make their energy level fly off the meter. By that, I mean they will be more hyper, beyond all extent, than they usually are. Once at their hut, Liartra threw the 12 pack against the wall, making it burst open. They each ran for a can. Soon, Madrix and Liartra were arguing.

"No, I want the red horse!" Squire was pissed.

"They are all red! You dumb fox!" Madrix looked at Squire.

"No they are not, Squire!" Liartra and Madrix started arguing again. Squire got mad beyond all reasons. He picked up his can and shook it up. He then popped the cap and threw it at them. It blew up in their faces. They were caught off guard and fell back.

"Maybe that shuts you up." They looked at each other and each went for a different can. The one they fought over laid in the middle of the room.

Tikal and Knuckles

Tikal and Knuckles were headed to the Master Emerald. "It's OK, Tikal. You can talk to the emerald right? Ask it what is wrong with the Echidna Temple!" They ran up the steps, and Tikal stepped forward.

"Master Emerald, please! Tell me what is wrong with the Echidna Temple!" The emerald shone brightly, soon becoming opaque. Then, a picture appeared. "Look, Knuckles! It's a city! And, what looks like…….. like…….." Knuckles stepped up, eager.

"ANOTHER ECHIDNA!" They were both confused.

"But that's not Robotnika, or Angel City! Could it be overseas?" Tikal frowned.

"I don't know, but we've got to stop it!" Just then, the echidna let out a wave of mater, destroying a building full of helpless escapees. Knuckles yelled.

"LOOK! IS THAT….. A CHAOS EMERALD!" Tikal grabbed Knuckles.

"Let's go tell Sonic and the others!" Knuckles ran with Tikal towards Sonic's house.

Tails

"So….. this might take all we've got, and it may mean death." We all agreed. Marcy tilted her head.

"What might be our death?" Ynaffit walked over to her and slapped her, knocking her out. I spoke up.

"Hey, I'll go get Team Chaotix! They will help for good pay, right?" Sonic smiled and agreed.

"Yeah. We could use Vector in this." I got Ynaffit and started towards Team Chaotix's tree house. Ynaffit smiled.

"Team Chaotix? That means that Espio guy, right?" I nodded.

"Yeah. He he he. Time for you to whip out the 'I love chameleons' tattoo!" Ynaffit slapped me.

"I don't love him, you idiot! We're just… friends." I smiled.

"Yeah, right. That's not what you said on Saturday night when you were sleeping! Dreaming of a pink Christmas, I see?" She giggled and pushed me. I swear we argued about it for twenty minutes. We hit Angel City and she ended it. She gave me a hug and kissed me.

"But you're my boyfriend. I love a fox of my kind than a chameleon any day. I love you." I said I loved her too, poked her, and started flying. She started after me, and we chased each other the whole way there. Once we arrived, Vector and Espio were outside, digging through the trash. I walked up to Espio.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" I must have scared them to death, for they both jumped as high as Liartra when he had too many of my slushes.

"OH! Tails! You scared me!" Vector said. "We're trying to find Charmy's goggles. He was making Espio mad, so Espio took them and threw them away." Espio folded his arms.

"Yeah, Vector! That's what happens when you let him eat all the popsicles and coke!" We all laughed. Charmy came out of the house with a tray of Sandwiches and coke for them. He saw us and said hi. Ynaffit whispered to me.

"I hate that thing's high voice!" She said quietly. I laughed. Charmy handed them their share of the coke and sandwiches, then invited us. We disagreed.

"So, uhh, Ynaffit. Tails. What are you here for?" Espio said. I shushed Ynaffit, for she was about to speak, and spoke myself.

"We have a job for you guys. We have a new enemy overseas, and she is trying to destroy the world, because she's mad she isn't the only echidna left." Vector spewed his coke everywhere.

"Did you say 'She'?" I nodded. He spoke again. "What's the pay?" I frowned.

"Well, since we might not all survive, I'll give you 300. And an extra hundred if things get worse." Vector's eyes turned into the shape of golden dollar signs.

"OKAY! YOU'RE ON!" They finished their sandwiches and did their chant.

"TEAM CHAOTIX!" Then we were off.

-?-

I stood there, listening and watching Sonic on my video screen. "Hahahahaha….. you don't stand a chance against that. Oh, well. Sucks for you if you don't make it." I took a drink of my Pepsi. I thought for a minute, listening to their conversation.

"Yeah, and if we get Knuckles out here, we could stand even more of a chance!"

"That's right!"

"Hey you guys! Long time no see!" Team Chaotix, Tails, and his girlfriend came up to the group.

"Oh, so you guys have Team Chaotix to help you? Hahaha. Good luck." I turned to walk away, but then I thought. "Hmmm……. I think I might follow along, just incase you need backup. Trust me. You will." I walked out of the room, shutting the lights off.

? (Not the previous one)

I watched as Gerocina destroyed my hometown of Faygon. My wound was bleeding insatiably, and I couldn't move my leg. I tried desperately to get up, and did so. I limped along, taking one last look at my now ruined hometown. "Damn you, Gerocina. I will get you." I headed towards home.

Eggman

I watched Sonic and the gang from my Egg Carrier 2's video projector. "HAHAHA! Sonic, with my new invention, the Egg Swan, and my crew, I will at last defeat you! Then I will simply walk up to the Master Emerald, and steal all the Chaos Emeralds, once again! AAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Just then, Rouge had joined them, telling them the news they already knew. I looked down at my control board. I pushed a few buttons, then loaded the weapons. I then pushed the control stick all the way up. "FULL SPEED AHEAD!" Fang walked into my quarters.

"Sir, load the missiles and secret weapons?"

"Yes." Fang walked out of the room. "Hahaha…. Now I've got you, Sonic!"

Bunni

I adjusted my new springs to my robotic legs. I then started towards my TV. The news was on, and overseas. It said something about a small echidna. "What? An echidna?" I walked in the room, and saw a pinkish hedgehog destroying a city. "Oh no! And they say it's coming to destroy us, too! What can we do, now?" Just then, Sally walked in.

"I'm not sure. But there must be something." I thought for a minute. Then, an idea. Why didn't I think of it before?

"I KNOW! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!" Sally froze at this name.

"S-Sonic? Will he remember us?"

"I hope so. Let's go find him." We headed out the door.
