Abilities Discovered

Manic and Sonia went inside to check on their brother. "Hi bro, you ok." Manic asked as he saw Sonic still clutching his tail, smoke rising from it.

"What do you think?" Sonic exclaimed as he removed his hands. All the fur around his tail was burnt exposing pink flesh. "This is the third time got struck by lightning four times on one spot."

"I don't know which one I should be worried about. You or your tail." Sonia said. The pink hedgehog walked over to the cupboards and pulled out an ice bag. She soon walked over to the refrigerator and filled it with ice.

"Hello, could we come and check on Sonic." Tails asked as he knocked on the door.

"Sure." Manic asked as he opened the door. Sonia walked back over to Sonic and gave him the ice bag. He gladly put it on his tail. Tails and everyone else outside walked in to check on the blue hedgehog. They all gasp as they saw the furless tail. Sally rushed over to the blue hedgehog and checked his tail.

"Do you have any bandage?" Sally asked. Sonia nodded and walked back to the cupboards and pulled out a roll of bandage. She soon gave it to Sally who began to wrap it around the tail.

"Not so tight." Sonic exclaimed, but Sally didn't try to stop. All of a sudden his tail was covered in fire, burning the bandage off. But what surprised everyone was that it didn't hurt Sonic.

"How did you do that?" Rotor asked. Sonic looked at him in shock.

"I don't know." he replied. The fire disappeared as fast as it appeared with at fully recovered tail. "Ok, that was very weird." Everyone nodded. Suddenly a bright green light appeared blinding everyone. As the light disappeared, a green reptile/anteater wearing a purple robe appeared.

"Who's that?" Bunnie asked.

"That's the Oracle of Delphius." Sonia answered.

"Hello Manic, Sonia, Sonic. I see that you have discovered your elemental ability young hedgehog." the oracle replied.

"Wait, I thought Manic was the only one with that type of power." Sonic replied.

"I thought so too, but I seem to have been proven wrong." The oracle explained. "There were clues to your ability though. When you run, you create streaks of fire in your wake. When you were injured the last time on your tail, your yell caused a volcano to erupt a small amount of fire. The last clue you should already know."

"No wonder you're afraid of water." Manic said, smirking as he nudged his brother.

"Does that mean I have an elemental ability too?" Sonia asked. Oracle nodded.

"It seems your ability is wind. From the fog machine to your Sonia spin. I will need to send you two your tutors. They should await you at Knothole." A green light surrounds the reptilian anteater. It soon disappeared along with the oracle.

"Wait, how did he know about Knothole?" Antoine asked. The Knothole freedom fighters turned to the three hedgehogs.

"He knows everything." Sonia replied.

"Yet he likes to put stuff in riddles." Sonic mumbled.

"Alright then we should head back then." Sally said. They all soon left to their vans and drove out of the Syrian Desert.
