Hey guys, it's been a little while. Okay, so I've been watching cutscenes of some of the Sonic games and now I just couldn't resist updating this. I especially can't wait for Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (I'm still debating whether Sonic Rush came before or after this game. Anyone know?) No review/follows/favorites this time but I do now have 100 readers on this story, so thanks! Nobody offered to help me with the battle so if it seems...OOC for Sonic and Tails in this game, I'm sorry. I'm trying my hardest here, after all. But we're finishing Sonic 3 so I hope you enjoy!
The intruders had been on the island for a long time and Kara wanted to test them. Without telling Knuckles, the icy white hedgehog made her way to the end of the IceCap Zone and waited. This was the last barrier between the intruders and Eggman and Kara knew if she was gonna stop those two, it had to be here. She was hardly surprised when the duo ran up.
"Uh, Sonic? Who's that?" The fox, Tails Kara rememered, asked.
"I dunno, Tails." Sonic answered, staring at the girl, confused.
"My name is Kara." Kara introduced, her voice becoming formal and cold, the complete opposite of her personality. "I am one of this island's guardians. I will not allow you to pass!" As she said the last sentence, Kara held her hand in the air and in a flash of light, Starlit Night appeared in her hands. Kara held the staff behind her in her right hand, her left hand in front of her body and her legs spread (AN: Think of Aqua's battle stance for Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.).
"How can we fight her?" Tails asked.
"Let's get that staff out of her hands, that should weaken her enough." Sonic suggested. He then ran at Kara, becoming a blue blur. However, Kara was already preparing to fight. The snowflake on her forehead glowed slightly as she focused on the blue hedgehog. In her eyes, he wasn't running that fast and she quickly moved Starlit Night to block Sonic just as he hit her. "Huh?" Sonic asked, his eyes wide. Kara smirked,
"Heavenly Light." Light burst from the staff, knocking the hedgehog back to stand by his friend.
"How did you do that?" Sonic asked, shocked. Kara spun Starlit Night around herself before she cried,
"Super Nova!" Light burst from around the girl, moving to attack the intruders at a deadly speed. The two cried out and barely managed to dodge the attack, watching as a piller of ice was cut in half.
"I've never seen anything like this!" Tails cried.
"Than how are we supposed to stop her?" Sonic asked as he dodged another attack.
"Try a Spin Dash!" Tails suggested as he used his tails to fly and avoidan attack. Sonic nodded and did just that. Kara, having no idea how to counter the attack, was hit full on, her staff flying out of her grip and into Tails'. "Nice one, Sonic!" Tails grinned as he held the staff up. Sonic gave his friend a thumbs up and turned to the girl, expecting her to give up. However, Kara was looking down at the snow, her eyes closed.
"I'm sorry...I didn't think it would come to this, but you leave me no choice." She whispered. The snowflake on her forehead glowed a bright white and her eyes opened, revealing their almost completely white irises with traces of her natural icy blue woven in. The white hedgehog pushed her hand in front of her and ice shot out of her palm.
"Yikes!" Sonic cried out as he barely managed to dodge the attack. "Who are you?" The blue hedgehog demanded. The girl lowered her hand and spoke.
"I don't know. I was born with these powers and have vowed to use them to protect this island from any danger. No matter who I was in the past or why I have these powers, I know I must use them for good. Right now, that's against you." She stated. She then raised her hand towards Tails and whispered, "Ice Bow." Ice in the shape of an arrow shot out and hit Tails in the shoulder. The fox cried out and dropped the staff, forcing Sonic to rush over and get it. He tried Speed Dashing at the mystical girl but at the last possible second, she teleported behind him in a flash of light. The blue hedgehog cried out as snow shot out of the girl's hands. It then turned into icicles, trapping him to the wall. Sonic struggled to get out and eventually managed, with Tails coming to help.
"We have to attack her together or we'll lose!" Tails suggested. Sonic nodded in agreement and set down Starlit Night. The two friends then crouched down and, in unison, did a Super Spin Dash. Kara tried to push them back with snow, as she could never harm a living creature with her ice, but they were too fast and powerful. They crashed straight into her, pushing her into an icicle. Kara laid on the icy ground, too weak from using her powers to fight back. Tails and Sonic stood over her, silently.
"Go ahead..." She said weakly, "Finish me..."
"Why would we do that?" Sonic asked.
"I tried to...stop you..." Kara whispered, "You should...finish me off so I'm...out of the way..."
"We'd never kill anyone!" Tails cried, shocked that the girl was suggesting they'd do that. Kara opened her eyes slowly and blinked innocently up at the two.
"Not even...your enemy?" She whispered, honestly confused.
"Well, not an enemy like you, at least." Sonic admitted.
"But...why?" Kara asked.
"I can see it in your eyes. You're a good person and only doing what you think is right." Sonic smiled.
"And...we kinda did intrude on your island." Tails added sheepishly. At that comment, Sonic rubbed the back of his neck, almost nervously. Kara looked down for a second only to look up and find Tails holding out Starlit Night towards her. "Here, it's yours, right?" He asked. Kara nodded and took her staff back into her hands. Before the two could leave, she spoke up.
"Thank you...I've lived here with only Knuckles for the past 10 years and you've showed me that there are other people in this world with kind hearts." She smiled, almost sadly. "I have no memory of my past, I don't even know how I got here or who I really am. But...knowing there are people like Knuckles and you two in this world...it makes me even more determined to remember my past and prove my place. Thank you...for giving me hope." With those last words, the white hedgehog waved her hand and vanished from sight, leaving the two friends staring at where she last was.
Kara sat in front of the Master Emerald silently. Knuckles was still out, trying to trap Sonic and Knuckles. She, on the other hand, was thinking about how kind they were.
How could either of them not want to help the world? She thought. Maybe...maybe Eggman's the bad guy and is lying to Knuckles. But...that would mean he's being used. Should I tell him about Sonic and Tails? No, he'll just freak out that I went out on my own and almost got myself killed, even if they didn't kill me. But I need to help the three of them out somehow. But how? Ugh, this is so confusing! Suddenly, tremors shook the island. Kara cried out as she fell to the ground and hit her head, falling into darkness in a second.
There's the chapter! So, how was the battle? Was it okay? And were Sonic and Tails in character? And, if you're wondering, yes, Kara's cyrokinesis was inspired by Elsa from Frozen. Of course, her having an unusual ability just hints at who she really is even more. So, please review and someone please tell me what game came first, Sonic 2006 or Sonic Rush cause depending on what came first will affect Kara (Another hint on who she really is!). See you later!
