I have no excuse for this, it's been half written for a good month or two...all I can really say is that I HATE Writer's Block. Hope you all enjoy, read and review ^^
With closed eyes and soft breath it seemed Femur was asleep, however she was merely relaxing thoughtlessly on the steps of the shrine while she lay for the undead girl was unable to sleep. The silence was deafening to her charge, the incoming storm had the island silent and it unnerved him greatly. He was broken from his thoughts upon feeling someone enter the island, turning sharply to his guardian.
"Femur!" Masa exclaimed as he always did, however the girl did not respond. His eyes widened, confused and a little fearful. "Femur!" He called again; once more the girl did not move...even her breathing had stopped. The echidna ran to her side, grasping her shoulders despite going through her and trying to shake her. "Femur, wake up!" He commanded, unable to understand why she wasn't responding and even less why she'd suddenly stopped breathing despite his feeling her body feeding from his power. "Please wake-" The projection gasped as the teenager jumped up suddenly, high into the sky and slam her fist down on something...it was only once the thing crashed into the ground that he realised it was the one who had entered the island.
"And just what the hell were you planning?!" The hybrid demanded angrily as she landed near the other being, eyes narrow and body glowing a soft green. The being groaned and slowly stood, two spikes coming from the back of its head like hair and its left eye covered by fur so it was almost unseen. Its muzzle and inner ears were a pale peach very close to the guardian's, and eyes a dull brown.
"What happened, I didn't hear a heartbeat!" It seemed the being; a female white bat no older than 12, had decided it was her turn to demand. Light purple eye shadow covered her eye lids, matching the colour of the main part of her shirt and boots. Said shirt showed peach skin at each side under the neck and back uncovered, connected by a small bit of fabric to her pale pink choker-like neck piece and long sleeves of the same colour with white gloves and very short white skirt. Her boots were pale purple and white versions of Femur's own boots.
"My question first, intruder." The glowing eyed girl growled angrily, already in a fighting position in front of the fellow girl.
"You must be the new guardian." The other girl said, smiling as though proud of herself for figuring it out before suddenly looking coy and cocky. "Why else would anyone come here but for this island's great prize, the Master Emerald." She said simply, gesturing to the top of the shrine where it lay uncaringly.
"That's what I thought." The red furred girl stated, throwing a punch at the other girl with no hesitation. "As the guardian of this island and the Master Emerald I demand you leave immediately!" She snarled as the younger girl dodged the fierce blow.
"Do you have any idea how far I flew for this thing? There's no way I'm going back empty-handed." The girl stated dramatically, petting her wings during the first part as if to sooth them from all the work they'd apparently had to do.
"Well, it seems we're at a small disagreement." Femur stated as she pulled herself back into her previous position.
"So it would seem." The other girl agreed, now also taking a fighting pose. "There's really only one way to settle this." She said with a smirk.
This girl is cocky to take on an echidna...or even half of one. The guardian thought before smirking herself and nodding, she hadn't really had any action for a while and she'd begun to worry she'd get rusty...after all trying to spar with Masa, whom she couldn't touch, was fairly pointless.
"Useless hybrid!" The bat yelled as she suddenly dashed towards said hybrid, and though not as fast as a hedgehog or hedgehog-hybrid, she was speedy in her own right. However, for the undead girl it was as though the younger girl was moving in slow motion...the older moved her arms up just in time to block a kick. The thief flipped the foot she'd used to the ground and pulled her other leg up sharply, which surprised the glowing-eyed girl and sent her flying up. The red and blue puncher flipped in the air after a moment, righting herself.
"Nice try!" She exclaimed, closing her eyes and focusing for a moment before curling into a ball and shooting herself at the girl.
"What?!" The white flier tried to block the attack, but was still knocked down. Femur kneeled over the other girl and pulled her hand back, focusing energy into her fist before slamming it continuously into the bat's stomach...the girl coughed blood after the first two punches and lost consciousness after five.
"That's enough Femur." Masa stated suddenly, causing the hybrid to freeze before sighing and standing up slowly.
"Right...we're to keep from killing intruders unless completely necessary..." She remembered aloud, stretching. "It was a pretty nice fight, even if it was incredibly one-sided." She added as her arms cracked, going to sit in on the steps and wait for the girl to wake up.
"...Why didn't you respond when I was calling your name, and stop your breathing?" The tanned boy asked after a moment, looking at his guardian.
"I wanted to catch her off guard." The peach girl explained with a shrug, showing she hadn't much thought out her plan at the time. "If I appeared dead it would be easier to attack her." She clarified further, cracking her neck and slowly the rest of her body...the glowing-eyed girl hadn't curled up and used a Homing Attack in a long time, her muscles and such weren't exactly happy with her about it.
"Well...at least it seemed to have worked." The purple eyed boy said, looking back at the unconscious bat in a crater from the hybrid's punches. "What do we do with her?" He questioned.
"Wait for her to wake up first...we can figure things out after that." The red and blue puncher stated, grabbing a nearby peach and biting into it.
I'm still getting better at fighting scenes, but hopefully it's good. On a more important note, just who is this bat who dares to try and steal the Master Emerald? You'll have to wait until next chapter, sorry :P See you all soon.
