Author's note: I've got no homework this weekend, so I've got a LOT of time on my hands. So here!
Segment 2: The Trouble Starts
Summary of Events
What a crazy morning! After waking up, Leo and Kim learned that Emerald County had been attacked by demons. Sonic and Tails had held back the assault on Emerald Town, but Sonic would up badly injured.
Volunteering to eradicate the demon settlements, Leo and Kim hiked to Verdant Woods, the site of the nearest one. There, they met Foxwood, a Robin Hoodish character with plenty of skill with his bow and arrows.
Leo and Kim gave Foxwood a show of force, using their common tail to full advantage, and afterwards Foxwood agreed to show them an odd dark crystal which was obviously related to the demons somehow.
As it turned out, the crystal was a gateway to a dark version of Verdant Woods, created by the demons to reside in. (Think of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and you'll understand what I'm talking about.)
Upon entry, Leo and Kim were attacked by a demonic clone of Foxwood. They almost won the battle, but the demonic Foxwood fled before the KO, dropping a mysterious dark gem.
According to Tails, the gem was a Black Emerald, a negative version of the Chaos Emeralds. While Leo and Kim were out, Tails had taken Sonic to the hospital, so the siblings went to tell Amy the news.
Amy was listening to music to occupy her mind. The tune in question was "That's the Combination", by the rock band known as The Nocturnal Triad. Twilight the Wolf sang, Eclipse the Bat drummed, and Night the Panther… uh… guitarred.
After that, Leo and Kim left to get some lunch. But what secrets do the Black Emeralds hold? When and how will the demons fall, if they even do? And will Foxwood show his face again later?
You know, I have a feeling the Nocturnal Triad will be important later in the story. The lyrics to that song they sang sure seemed interesting…
Ah, I'm just talking nonsense.
Yes, another summary. Please don't hurt me, Deltoran. Oh, and the fourth chapter to "Hedgehog and Bat" is up, if you guys care.
