Chapter 26: Africa V
12:16 pm in Namibia (USA time: 12:16 am), our heroes are flying above Namibia. Amy started reading a guidebook and said, "Namibia is home to the world's largest population of free-roaming cheetahs. The country got its name from the Namib Desert-one of the world's oldest deserts. The country is the 2nd least densely populated country in the world."
"Where is the battery in Namibia," said Sonic.
"It's somewhere in the Fish River Canyon," said Tails.
"Not another river."
"The Fish River Canyon is the oldest globally, and it is also the world's second-largest. The Canyon is over 500 million years old. The Fish River Canyon formed over 500 million years ago due to the collapse of the valley floor. It was further formed by water and wind erosion. It is located in the southern part of the country, not that far from the South African border, and is one of the highlights to visit in Southern Namibia," said Amy.
"I can't believe that we're going on the water again," said Sonic, in disappointment.
"Oh, Sonic. Stop being such a drama queen."
"King."
"Whatever."
A few minutes later, our heroes are fishing on their fishing boats in the canyon. Sonic is trapped in the coils of a Cape Cobra.
"Help! Why does this keep happening to me," said Sonic, panicking.
"Hold on, Sonic. We'll help you," said Amy.
"Mr. Cobra, can you please let him go," said Tikal.
The Cobra hissed at her, and she said, "I think you're mistaking him for another blue person. He didn't disturb you."
"Hey, guys. I got something. But it's so heavy," said Tails, trying to pull his pole in.
While Knuckles help Tails, Amy, Cream, and Tikal help Sonic be free from the cobra. When Tails reeled it in, everyone stopped at what they're doing and looked; even the cobra did. Tails caught a 4ft battery in a 4ft plug and Master Zik.
"Oh. Should have seen this coming," said Master Zik.
"Oh, you think," said Tails, in an angry tone.
Then the cobra lets went of Sonic and pounced on Master Zik.
The two went into the river, and Tails said, "yeah, Cape Cobra. Go on and bite that old man."
"Does that sound a bit wrong to you? Tails, never acted like this before," said Amy.
"Well, he's only like this when someone messes with his level of being smart," said Sonic.
"Let's find a hotel because I need a break," said Tikal.
At the Fish River Lodge, our heroes are spending their time at the pool.
"Is Tikal souvenir shopping again," said Sonic.
"Yes. You know her and collecting souvenirs from the places we visit," said Amy.
"Hey, guys. I'm back," said Tikal, wearing a Malachite Mask.
Tails get scared of the mask that he fainted into Cream's arms.
"Wow. That scared the tails out of Tails. Ha! Get it," said Cream, laughing with Cheese.
When Tikal puts the mask away, Tails wakes up and said, "our final battery is at Botswana."
"Good. Did you find the location of the ray in Africa," said Knuckles.
"Nope, but it's somewhere in South Africa."
9:30 am, our heroes are at the plane loading their luggage.
When Tails closed the trunk, he said, "it'll take 1 hour and 39 minutes to get to Botswana, so we should take our time."
"When you say Botswana, it makes me laugh," said Cream, blushing while smiling.
When Tails blushed, Knuckles and Sonic giggles at him; quietly.
"Um…guys, guess who's in the belly of a cobra," said Amy.
The team sees Master Zik inside the cobra, and he said, "you think a snake will stop me from getting the key?"
The team is confused and disgust, and even the cobra is confused too. Then the team gets in the plane and flies away.
