Part Two: Saving a life
Day seven of her expedition and Chrissy could hardly believe her eyes. On the radar was what she'd been searching for: Zerka the Rat. But she had found him in just a week! Chrissy shook her head. No matter how much this looked like a trap, she had to risk it. This could be the only shot at this she'd get for a while. She prepared to land on the planet where the blip on the radar was.
As she pulled in close to the planet and entered its atmosphere, she saw vast woods, and one clearing in particular caught her eye. In the middle was a strange building of some sort. A large green gem was on the top. It was almost as if the structure was a shrine to that gem. Then Chrissy turned her attention to two figures apparently arguing. One figure had red fur and was standing on the steps of the shrine. The other was very familiar...
Chrissy smirked. She pulled the ship in low and fired her guns at Zerka but he was too fast and got out of the way. Then, as she circled around to fire again, she was hit by a laser. The wing of her ship was blown apart and she was going into a nosedive. Knowing there was nothing she could do, she grabbed her belongings and ejected.
Landing on the ground, she looked at her radar watch, and headed straight for Zerka. After a few minutes of pursuit, she caught him standing in a clearing. She dropped her bundle and summoned a silver blob to her hand. Her uyita. It morphed to a staff. Zerka smirked. "Prepare to die!" He said, and the battle commenced.
Knuckles had chased the mysterious stranger to a clearing. There were a lot of questions he wanted answered. Why did he want the master emerald? What was the ship that fired at him? And who was this strange girl who was fighting him. He watched as the battle unfolded before him, trying to make sense of it all...
Chrissy was knocked down again, but this time Zerka pinned her. "You were almost a worthy adversary. Now you have met your end!" Suddenly, the red figure from the shrine charged and knocked Zerka over. Chrissy stood up quickly. "Shouldn't you pick on someone your own size?" Said the echidna. Zerka growled. "Bye for now!" He said slyly. Then he disappeared.
"Are you alright?" Knuckles asked this strange girl. A black dog, with grey eyes, a white star on her forehead, and a grey furless tail. Strange, but somehow hauntingly beautiful. Before she had a chance to respond, however, she fell forward onto her front. Knuckles rushed to her. She was out cold he scooped her up and rushed in the direction of Cream's house. There he could get her some help, and then he had a few things to ask her...
