Chapter 25: Africa IV
2 hours and 20 minutes, it's 12:30 pm at Zambia (USA time: 12:30 am). And our heroes are still in the air.
"Zambia is a landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari. The national bird is the fish eagle. The local currency is kwacha," said Amy, reading a guidebook.
"Where is the battery," said Sonic.
"At Victoria Falls," said Tails.
"Victoria Falls is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. First discovered by European eyes in 1855. Without the Zambezi River, the Falls would never exist. And the most interesting part is that sunsets turn Victoria Falls into a magical sight," said Amy, still reading the book.
"Now, that's my kind of show," said Tikal.
"Look. The battery," said Knuckles, sees a 2 ft battery on a 2 ft plug on a rock of Victoria Falls.
"Can you get it, Cream," said Tails.
"You got it. Come on, Cheese."
When Cream and Cheese fly to the battery, they don't notice that Master Zik on a canoe is heading towards them.
"Oh no! It's Master Zik! Cream! Get the battery and plug and get out of there," said Sonic, ordering her.
"Leave this to me," said Knuckles, taking out a cherry pie from his backpack.
He throws it into Master Zik's face. When Cream disengages the battery and plug, Master Zik passed her and fell into the falls.
When she and Cheese fly back into the plane, she goes back to her seat on the plane and says, "did I missed anything?"
"We'll tell you everything after we find a hotel," said Amy.
At the Kingdom Hotel, our heroes are spending their time at the hotel's pool.
The guys are sleeping on their towels until Cream bounced on Tails to wake him out and said excitingly, "where do we go next? Where do we go next? Where do we go next?"
"If I tell you, will you stop jumping on me," said Tails, getting in pain by Cream bouncing on him.
"Sorry. I can't wait."
"We'll be going to Namibia."
"How can you enjoy a hot tube, Amy? Doesn't it burn," said Sonic.
"You're still sleeping, aren't you," said Amy, getting suspicious.
"Have any of you guys seen Tikal," said Knuckles.
"She said something about shopping."
"Guys, look what I got," said Tikal, wearing a Zambian Emerald Silver Ring.
"My eyes! It's so bright," said Tails, covering his eyes from the light of the ring.
"Here you go," said Knuckles, takes a pair of shades out of his backpack.
When Tails puts them on, Master Zik is hiding behind the wall.
"With this crossbow and plunger, I'll finally get that key," said Master Zik, loading the crossbow.
He was about to launch it until Tails grabbed him on the neck and said, "you think the young minds aren't capable of being smart. Do ya?!"
"Um…Yes."
Then Tails punched him in the face. He walloped him that Master Zik flew into the air.
10 am in Zambia(USA time: 10 pm), our heroes are having breakfast.
"Did you see the look on his face when I punched him in the face? Man, it was amazing," said Tails.
"I told you those workouts would pay off," said Knuckles.
"When we leave, it'll take us 2 hours and 16 minutes. So then, let's take our time."
