Chapter 30: Europe II
12:06 pm in Athens, Greece (USA time 12:06 am).
Amy read her guidebook and said, "The official name of Greece is the Hellenic Republic. Athens is the capital of Greece. It is also the most populated city in the country. Ancient Greek civilization comprised Southern Italy, the coastal areas of Turkey, and the Black Sea, along with some colonies in North Africa, Southern France, and Spain. Modern Greece is just a part of it. 80% landscape of Greece comprises mountains. Only one-half of the country is covered by forests; the other half is barren. There are about 3000 islands in Greece. However, only a few hundred of them are inhabited."
"And the best part; it's a city of math and science," said Tails.
"Yawn," said Tikal.
"Oh, yawn all you want, sister. You have no taste for brains."
"Ew, that's disgusting!"
"That's not what he meant," said Cream.
"Anyway, the battery is located inside the Acropolis of Athens," said Tails.
"Isn't that it over there," said Knuckles, seeing it.
"Good eye, Knux. That's our stop."
While they were climbing up to Acropolis, Amy said while reading her guidebook, "The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon."
"My calculations state the battery is in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus: A Second-Century Theater," said Tails.
"I'm pooped. That was a lot of climbing. And it ruined my new shoes," said Tikal, seats down a take off her shoes.
"Fear not, Tikal. I have shoes just for you," said Knuckles, take out a pair of shoes that looks like Tikal's from his backpack.
"Wow. They're perfect. Where did you get them?"
"I have my ways."
While the Team is walking to their destination, Amy read from her guidebook and said, "The Theatre of Herodes Atticus, also known as the Odeon, is a Greco-Roman theatre built in 161 AD. It is named after an affluent Greek-born Roman senator, Herodes Atticus, who constructed it in commemoration of his wife, Regalia. Able to seat up to 5,000 people, the Theatre of Herodes Atticus was mostly used for music shows and festivals, a function which the now restored structure still performs today."
"Wicked! For over a hundred years old, it's still practical," said Cream.
"Indeed, my friend," said Tails.
"Well, here we are," said Sonic, sees the theater.
"And I see a battery on the stage," said Amy, going to a 2 ft battery on a 2 ft plug.
When she disables it, Zeena came on stage with a sword and said, "en grade for the love of Sonic."
Amy takes out her hammer and hits Zeena with it. The hit sends Zeena flying into the sky.
"I hope we won't see her again," said Sonic.
"Something tells me we would," said Tails.
"Let's find a hotel. Cheese wants to relax," said Cream, holding Cheese who is tired from using his wings.
At Electra Palace Athens, the girls are having a spa; together while the guys and Cheese are getting a back massage.
"Wow. This is getting the not I have in my back," said Sonic.
"Thank you," said Zeena, who's disguised as a massager.
"Zeena!?"
Zeena picks Sonic up and carries him on her shoulder.
"What?! How did she…. Come, Knux," said Tails, runs after them with Knuckles behind him.
"You'll never catch me! Never," said Zeena, carries Sonic to the door.
She was about to open it, but Amy opened it and slammed it into Zeena's face; thus, freeing Sonic from her grasp.
"What did I miss," said Amy.
"Nothing, let's go to our rooms and sleep," said Sonic.
8:30 am in Athens, Greece (US time: 8:30 pm). Our team is at the gift shop.
"Come on; our next stop is Russia. It will take 3 hours and 24 minutes to get there," said Tails.
"I got a gold Aphrodite stone pendant," said Tikal, wearing the pendant.
"You got your souvenir. Let's go before Zeena catches us again."
