"You don't have to destroy ALL of them, Knuckles!" Silver said to the enraged and determined echidna.
"It's the ONLY WAY."
"Come on, Knuckles. We'll help you!"
"I don't NEED your help."
Just as Knuckles said this, the dragon swooped down on them yet again, and everyone ducked.
"You need our help, Knuckles," Silver said.
Knuckles calmed down a little. "I guess you're right."
"Okay, let's destroy these crystals and kill that dragon once and for all!" Silver exclaimed.
"We're all ready!" the rest shouted, which made Knuckles smirk.
"Then let's go," he said.
Sonic went first. With his incredible speed, he ran up the side of one of the pillars, did a few flips when he got to the top, and kicked the crystal mid-air, making it explode. He used this knockback to his advantage, allowing him time to perform a spin dash and roll down the side of the pillar.
"Piece of cake!" Sonic said as he got to the bottom.
"My turn," Shadow said. He skated up to another pillar, and used Chaos Control to get to the top. Then he performed a Chaos Spear on the crystal, causing it to explode. Then he used Chaos Control to get to the bottom whilst he was knocked back and in the air.
"Alrighty!" Silver said as he went up to another pillar. "Shadow, lend me your emerald."
Shadow threw Silver the emerald, allowing Silver to be able to use Chaos Control to get on top of the pillar. He then used his telekinesis to lift up the crystal and throw it off the pillar. It then hit the ground with a fiery explosion, which killed a few of the humanoid creatures lurking around. Silver then used Chaos Control to get down to the bottom.
"Okay!" Tails said. He turned to Sonic. "Get me a rock of some sort, Sonic!"
"Whatever you say, buddy!"
He sped around the floating island, trying to find crumbles of white stone, since the stone was much less harder than the obsidian. Eventually, he found a few good sized chunks of white stone.
"Here, Tails!" He threw the chunks to him.
"Thanks!" Tails used his two tails to fly up to the top of a pillar. He got far enough to where he wouldn't be affected by the explosion, and threw one of the chunks at the crystal. He hit it perfectly, and it exploded. Tails, unaffected by the blast, then flew down and gracefully landed.
"Now I'm ready!" Knuckles said with determination. He went to the last pillar and climbed to the top, faster than last time. Standing his ground, he lifted his fist and gave a hard blow to the crystal, causing it to go off with a bang. Knuckles was expecting this to happen, so he used the knockback to his advantage, and gracefully glided down to the bottom.
"That's the last one," Knuckles said.
"Way to go, Knuckles!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Aw, it was nothing."
The dragon, which had been flying around unawares the entire time, reared and swooped down on the gang again, causing them to need to duck.
"Now we have to kill the dragon," Shadow said.
"You're right," Sonic dejectedly said.
"But guys, you don't have the Chaos Emeralds!" Tails blurted. "You're -"
"Defenseless." Shadow finished the thought while crossing his arms.
I'm excited for the action as much as you are! Drop me a review to give me some inspiration! :)
