Chapter 2 SeaWorld
The Hyperion exited from chaos control and was now hovering above a endless sea. The ship slowly landed on the water and the hanger bay doors open. Sonic, Blaze, Tails, Freeze and Knuckles walk up to the edge in diving suits and jump into the water. "so Ami and Tails. How far is this temple?" ask Knuckles as he pulled Sonic. Ami appear in everyone's visor and spoke. "not to far. The scan pin points that Aqua is within a large temple on the seafloor. Right Tails?". "right. We should arrive in a few minutes" said Tails as he check their location through his visor. "when will we know when we arrive?" ask Freeze. Suddenly everyone stop swimming as they gasp. "I think we arrive…" said Sonic. In front of them was a underwater city and in the center of that city was a large temple.
As they continue into the city, everyone could see the ruins. "I wonder what happen here" whisper Ami. Everyone soon stop as they saw a statue of a female fox in armor holding a sword above her head. Knuckles turn to Sonic and spoke. "is that Aqua?". "yep! Looks like the people of this world treated her like a god". "we should keep moving guys. We don't have time to look around" spoke Tails as he swim toward the temple. The others follow and soon they arrive to the doorway to temple. They look around the door but couldn't find a way to open it in till Freeze spotted something next to the door. "Guys! I found something!". everyone swam over to Freeze and saw a stone tablet with weird looking text on it. "does anyone know what it says?" ask Freeze. "hey knucklehead can you read it? You been to a lot of places as a treasure hunter. You must've learn a few languages?" said Sonic to Knuckles. "I could try but remember that we're in a different world". knuckles started to look at the text and when he was done, he turn to the others. "sorry but this language is unread to me". "let me see…". Blaze push knuckles out of the way and started to read it. "I don't believe it! it's the language of the sky people from my world". "the goddess or Aqua must've place that there" said Tails. "okay guys. This what it says: "to seek the knight of water, one must become four and four must become one. Then shall the door open". well that's what it says". "great! A riddle! Why does it always have to be a riddle!" yelled Knuckles in anger. "calm down! Remember we have one smart fox with us" spoke Freeze as she turn to Tails. "yeah! Okay pal start gearing that brain!". "okay Sonic! Let me think…". they watch as Tails close his eyes. "…one to become four and four to become one…four…huh?". Tails notice something on the sides, in front and above the doorway. "I got it now! See those four slots! There must be four keys scatter around the city!". Freeze swam over and saw the slots. "oh! I understand but where and what kind of keys, we're looking for?". everyone turn to Tails but he too was puzzled till Ami spoke. "guys! Check this out!". Ami summon a 3D map of the scan city. "see those four statues!". everyone started to smile. "it's the stone statues of Aqua! The swords are the key!" said Ami. Sonic gave Ami a thumbs up and turn to everyone. "okay guys lets split up and get those keys! Tails, stay here till we return". "okay!". Freeze went south, Blaze went west, Knuckles went north and Sonic went east where the statues was station.
