CHAPTER 11: SPIDER!
Everfree Forest was dense and gnarled, with vines stretching from the canopy high in the trees to the forest floor. The whole area seemed out of place because of all the houses painted in all the colours of the rainbow back in Ponyville. Here it was just green and darkness with the occasional color here and there.
"This place reminds me of Planet Wisp! Only... more evil-looking." said Tails.
"What's Planet Wisp? A restaurant or something?" asked Pinkie-pie.
"Long story. I'll tell you when we get back." replied Tails.
Sonic and Rainbow Dash were talking together and, still, their arguing on who's faster than who.
Then, the group saw something weird: a giant spider web. It was held together by two trees.
"What the...?" said Sonic.
"That's the biggest spider web I've ever seen!" said Tails.
"Hey... Look In the middle!" said Applejack.
In the middle of the web was a green Chaos Emerald. Sonic's red Emerald started to glow. Then so did the green one.
"They react to each other when their close, like before, but only when their in a radius of 5 meters?" said Tails, puzzled.
"Who cares about that right now?" said Rainbow Dash, "We gotta get the Emerald!"
Sonic tested how sticky the web was by throwing a pebble. It stuck. Then a lager pebble, which also stuck. He then got a rock the around the size of Tail's PDA, and placed it onto the web. To his surprise, that stuck too!
"Whatever sort of spider made this thing is quite good at making webs." he said afterwards.
At that, Sonic felt a drop of rain on his head. He looked up, but saw no clouds. He heard a few shuffles and looked around. All his friends were gone!
"Um, guys? Hello?" he called out. "This isn't funny you know!" Then he saw Tail's PDA on the floor. He then turned his attention to the raindrop. He got a bit on it on his finger. It was a bit gooey. It wasn't rain at all.
"Saliva...?" he said to himself, shaking the liquid off his finger. Then he felt hot breath on his back. He shuddered. He turned slowly around.
In front of his was the biggest spider he had ever seen. It had a black, hairy body with an abdomen the size of two Big the Cats. It's legs were thin and long. It's eight red eyes were clearly visible and it had jaws as sharp as knives.
"Whoa! Easy there, 'eight eyes'!" exclaimed Sonic in horror, staggering back.
The spider hissed at him. Sonic knew how the spider was feeling somehow.
It was hungry.
