THE DARK WINDS CHAPTER 11 THE SEA CAVE.
DISCLAMER; I'M NOT SONIC'S OWNER.
Hey everyone heatx here back with more of the, THE DARK WINDS. Sorry it took me so long, I took some time off to recharge, but I'm back… for now. While I'm at it let me just tell you this, my next 7 chapters will be short as they will be mostly filler. An don't give me that oh man comment or start flaming me, a good story always keeps the readers waiting wanting more, but just because they will be filler doesn't mean they won't have a point. Yet because I myself am not too fond of filler I will put them up a few at a time you never know I might just finish them all in a week. So please don't hate me for it.
A seagull was chirping as it flew over head, the breeze was cold and quite moist it had a salty after taste to it as it blew past, but it was refreshing none the less.
"Oye there's nothin like the feel of the sea winds on a shelas face." Marine said as she steadied her course, aboard her wave bike the S.S. Marine, which Tails had helped her remake since she came to this dimension.
Marine began to smile as she sailed along the shallows of the Emerald Coast. She hadn't really had time to just enjoy herself out on the water due to the recent events in her life; she then began to remember why she was here.
FLASH BACK
"So what do we do now Shadow?" Shade asked.
"Simple we find the emeralds, and face him, now enough talk; we've got our work cut out for us so let's go." Shadow said firmly as they all nodded and dashed off in different directions.
As they separated a call was transmitted to the communicators everyone carried, a voice then spoke up.
"This is Tails can every body read me? Over." Tails said through the communicator.
They all looked down towards there comms and replied with yes.
"Good, that makes this easy. Listen guys I'm just making sure you all remember how to work the emerald radars I built into your comms." Tails said as he began to think.
Tails was sure there would come a day when they would lose the emeralds again, so in order to make sure they could be found quickly, after months of research, he had created a radar that would be able to locate them.
This was no small feet as the emeralds energy signatures were highly unstable, and hard to track, but he had done it. Tails was now mentally patting himself on the back as he smirked. Until Shadow snapped him back to reality by letting out a small cough.
"Look as long as you all remember how to use the thing that's all we need to know. Now everyone will go after an emerald, once you have it head back to base and wait for the others, now let's go." Shadow said firmly as he ran.
They all answered yes as they spilt up for their respective targets
BACK TO PRESENT
Marine began to think. The next few days would be very serious but even if the future was unknown Marine was always sure of this, no matter what, she would always love the ocean. Suddenly she turned as she heard a wave crash. A small cave then seemed to appear out of nowhere on the side of a cliff.
"Oye, what's this?" Marine said stopping her wave bike suddenly, at the cave entrance.
The mouth of the cave was dark, a breeze roared through it, with a speed and force befitting that of Sonic. There was a strong current coming from the cave as it flowed. Marine began to gasp as the current seemed to grab her wave bike, and pull it in.
Marine stepped on the gas pedal, as she tried to resist the currents pull. Yet it was pointless as her bike was nowhere near strong enough to resist it, almost as if the cave itself had demanded she come in.
Marine was now becoming desperate to escape, yet then her radar went off with a loud beep. She then turned to her left as she brought the radar up to her eyes.
"Well, this be quite the break. Seems the gem I be seeken, is inside this ear cave." Marine stated a little shock apparent in her voice, as she double checked her radar.
Once seeing that this was exactly what she was looking for, Marine decided to simply go with the flow of the current.
As she entered the mouth of the cave, she began to look around. It was dark with an odd spooky feel to it. Yet other than the chilled sea breeze passing through, and the feeling that she was being watched, it was just like any other cave.
She continued down the path the current took her paying no mind to much else. Yet unbeknownst to her she was not really alone as a black shadow seemed to follow her through the water.
After a few more moments of drifting she came upon the end of the cave. She was now in a small room. It was circular and there were five pillars jetting out of the water, almost resembling teeth. An two large red stones at the cave ceiling befitting the eyes of a ghastly creature.
Marine was caught of guard by this and let out a loud squeal as she quickly put her foot on the bikes brakes in reflex. An as she did this, she unknowingly bumped the bike right into the shadow that was stalking her from under water causing it to stop in its tracks. Once it had stopped a large bump then sprouted out of the water as a low volume squeak was let out. Yet Marine did not realize this, still shocked by the look of the cave.
Marine then regained her composer as she noticed another pillar in the center of the room. There was a stream of light shinning on it from an opening in the roof. An there atop the pillar was the blue chaos emerald.
"This is bonza." Marine said as she hit the gas on her wave bike and rushed up to the emerald.
Marine then grabbed the emerald and smirked as she began making her way out of the cave. Then suddenly as she was leaving the room, a portion of the water exploded behind her. She looked back to see what it was and then gasped at what she saw.
There was a black figure glaring at her. The figure resembled a dark black piranha like fish. It was around six feet in length, with spikes on all of its fin tips. It had red glowing eyes, with a gapping mouth full of large serrated teeth, and a massive bump sticking out of the top of its head.
"Uh… how's it goin bloke?" Marine said forcing a smile as she waved to it, some how knowing that the bump on the monsters head was most likely her doing.
The fish opened its mouth and roared as it rushed towards her. Seeing this Marine then stomped on the pedal as she speed off for the cave exit.
Marine was now speeding though the cave swaying from side to side in an effort to confuse the fish, yet the fish remained on her trail. The beast then began to close the gap between them; it then started to widen its mouth as it neared her. Seeing this Marine began to furiously stomp on the gas pedal in an attempt to gain speed, but to no avail as the fish got ever closer.
The fish was now a mere few inches from Marine as it readied to bite her in half. Marine could now feel the monsters breath up her tail, knowing now she had no chance to escape, she closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable. Then the fish jumped into the air, mouth a gap as it barreled down towards Marine. Yet what happened next caught them both of guard as the beast slammed into a low hanging part of the cave ceiling shaking the cave.
Marine just watched in awe as the fish hit the water completely taken out, with ex.'s in its eyes. Seizing this new found chance, Marine shot towards the exit and out the cave. Once out of the cave, she watched as the impact from the fish had shaken the cave so much that the whole thing collapsed on top of the beast.
Once the dust settled and the cave was sealed Marine began to laugh as she started to make fun of the fish.
"Oye that'll teach ya, ya over grown gold fish faced excuse for a monster. No one dares muck with the great captain Marine!" Marine yelled loudly.
When she had gotten her fill of verbally assaulting her fishy enemy, she took out the blue chaos emerald from her pocket and gazed upon it.
"Well, that be one less emerald to be found blokes heading back to base." Marine said speaking into her communicator, as she sailed for the coast.
