Sonic, Sonika, Shahra and Krystal were now going back to the group that they were with, along with their new Demi-Genie in Tikal, as they were looking for the group that they were with. While they were also on the lookout for any of the minions that could intercept them along the way to where they could look for the group.
Not to mention the other group of explorers that they could meet on the way there.
All while Tikal was still beaming, feeling grateful to Sonic and his friends for saving her from a dark fate of being forced to stay in the jungle in her ring since her companion ended up dying. Which she was well aware of, but her happiness at being free was already overtaking her sadness of losing her companion.
It wasn't too long a walk through the jungle, until Sonic was able to get to the rest of the group that was now at an oasis in the jungle. Where the group was at, much to Sonic's relief, as he saw Amy with the group, as they were united with Minerva and the others that swung on the branches.
Which had Sonic surprised, and embarrassed when he saw that Minerva was bathing in the oasis waters, while butt naked herself. And she was oddly not caring of her nudity since she wasn't covering herself, even as Sonic came back to the group.
"Welcome back Sonic, I trust that the search for the ring went well?" Amy asked.
"W-Well yes. But I would like to say some unfortunate news. As it wasn't the Chaos Ring like the one back in the desert." Sonic said.
"Instead, it was another Ring that houses another Demi-Genie like me." Shahra said.
As disappointed as they were to hear that, Amy and the group was surprised to learn that the ring was a Demi-Genie ring similar to Shahra's ring on Sonic's finger. And to see that the Demi-Genie was in the jungle. "There's another one like Shahra?! I had a feeling, but I didn't think there'd be one in this jungle."
"Well, here I am." Tikal said, showing herself out of her ring. "My name is Tikal."
"Hey Tikal. I'm Princess Amy, of Agrabah." She introduced herself after getting over her surprise. Before introducing her other dancers that isn't Krystal, and Sonika. And her pet basilisk in Nagini.
As the introductions were ongoing, Sonic couldn't help but stare at how beautiful the naked Mink was, as she was in the oasis waters. The way she looked, the way her blond hair, and tail complimented her milky white fur, and the shapely body that she seemingly proudly showed off, her nudity be damned. It left him feeling hypnotized by the sight.
Which was why Minerva easily caught him staring, and yet she didn't mind the stares.
"Like what you see, Sonic?" She huskily asked.
Sonic nodded without thinking. Before being startled at the question. "Uh! Well, yeah… you look nice." He said blushing. Which had her smiling at him in thanks. "It's just that… are you aware of your nudity in this oasis?"
"Of course, I am." She said casually.
"Okay. And are you aware that there could be others that isn't me, or Amy and her dancers, that could end up peeking on you? Could you be unwilling to show everything off?" He asked.
She shrugged in response as she was now walking closer to him. "As long as the guys that peeks on me are nice fellas, as well as handsome and cute people as well, (Which you are in your case.) and above all, are not butt ugly lustful jerks that wouldn't care about how I would feel about their lust, then I don't care."
"Ah. Okay." He said, relieved that he isn't one of those guys. As he hoped that he won't end up getting beaten up for his staring at Minerva's naked form.
"I see that one of my other dancers has caught your fancy. I hope that you won't forget about me though." Amy suddenly interjected, having heard Minerva and Sonic's conversation.
Sonic got startled at the interruption from Amy, who was also in the ankle deep parts of the oasis that Sonic, and Minerva was in, with Nagini also in the water, as she was now close to him. "Oh! I-I can assure you that I haven't forgotten you." Sonic said assuredly to Amy, hoping that she won't end up getting jealous of Minerva having Sonic. "I'm j-just surprised that she isn't covering herself in her bath in the Oasis."
"Well, that's just how she rolls. She's so willing to show off her beauty to the world without shame." Amy said casually.
"It's true. I do like showing off my beauty. Even as I'm naked. In fact, a little-known fact, I'm a nudist." Minerva said with a blush.
Sonic blushed at what he heard, imagining her hanging out in her private room, butt naked as the day she was born, as she could be dancing around as practice, or she could be watching shows, running around for exorcise, even practicing her fighting like a warrior or even a Naked Fanatic, and even ordering pizza, among other things in the nude. Even likely masturbating.
He had to stifle those thoughts though, just so his 'Chilidog' won't be waking up at a bad time.
"Are you pulling my leg? Are you actually a nudist?" He asked hoping he heard it right.
Minerva nodded. "I am indeed."
"In fact, she used to be an actress as well as a colosseum fan herself considering her fondness for Gladiators." Amy interjected. "As well as a model. And she looked good as such too. And I did hear that she would like to be a Gladiator someday as well. But her nudism habits caused her to be let go." She spoke somberly.
"Oh. Poor girl." Sonic said, feeling that if he was her boss, he'd simply let her be, and let her get naked if she wanted to. She can do her, as long as she keeps the nudity away from the public. Particularly the younger folks. (And probably from himself, if he isn't in the mood.)
"Thankfully, I was able to recruit her into becoming another Royal Dancer. She did dance well for the crowd along with the others, after all." Amy said, brightening up.
"Well, thanks for her recruitment, Amy." Sonic said to her. "And sorry that you lost your acting job, Minerva. I feel that it isn't fair that you lost your job over something like Nudity habits. Especially if you won't show off your nudity to the public."
Minerva smiled at him in response. "Why thanks Sonic. I'm glad that you acknowledge how unfair it was too. But it isn't a complete loss though, when I became a dancer for Amy and the Pharaoh." She said, walking out of the shallow part of the oasis to her bikini. Which she proceeded to put on, since she was done in the Oasis now that Sonic was back with them.
As they spoke though, Sonika was in the middle of speaking, and flirting with Ralsei. Who was blushing at how good she looked, even if she was a female Sonic. He admits, he did think that Sonic as a girl was a sexy looking dancer. But he didn't want Sonic to know that if it'd embarrass him as much as it embarrasses himself. Seeing Sonika though, now that she is separated from Sonic himself, Ralsei was admittedly happy to see that Sonika is still around. And he hopes that he could have a date with her when he comes around to asking her out.
Sonika noticed his staring, and blushing though, which had her smiling at Ralsei, before flirtingly winking at him, making his blush deepen at the gesture. She admits, she found him cute looking, so she did also look forward to dating him as well.
Sonic then saw that Dawn was still with them. While Belleza and Erza was suddenly nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Amy, where is Belleza, Blaze, and Erza?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, they're scouting ahead for danger, or for where we can go to find the ring. They'll be back to tell us where we might need to go in a few minutes." Amy responded.
Sonic hoped that they would come back without trouble, since they seemed like nice people that he would like to be friends with. Especially since they look nice even as humans, even compared to the magic summons Jessica, and Holli. As well as Madonna. So, he hoped that they won't end up getting killed in the jungle.
"Mind if I look for them? I can handle myself, after all." Sonic said.
Considering that he was able to defeat the scorpion that tried to take away Princess Amy, even she knew that he isn't wrong about the last part.
"Not in the slightest. Just be careful, Sonic. I don't want to lose my favorite hedgehog to this jungle." Amy said, hopeful that Sonic isn't going to have the bad luck to get caught. Or killed in the jungle.
"I'll… keep that in mind." He awkwardly said. Before continuing onwards. He still had some misgivings about being the hedgehog that must marry Amy. But he knew that he must, if he is to save the worlds that has been sucked into this world, undo the damage that the Ruby has done, and hopefully prevent a cataclysm that would be a result of more universes being sucked into this one. If that is the case.
Plus, he was starting to see that marrying Amy, might not be as bad as he thought it would be.
So, he kept on walking into the jungle without complaint, as he looked for Blaze, Belleza, and Erza.
The former of which, he hoped could be mighty enough to take care of herself and the latter two.
Where with them, they were indeed scouting the jungle, as they looked for any dangers, but they had a different reason for scouting out the jungle as they also had their cameras being put to use.
The Pharaoh sent them there as well, so that they could scout out the jungle, and check out the jungle for an evaluation for expansion into the jungle. As well as to evaluate the natural resources of the jungle. Where the Pharaoh would expand the reach of Egypt into the section of dino jungle where there would be new buildings there, whether there'd be new houses, orphanages, casinos, bathhouses, etc.
And that was something, that the trio was keen on letting happen, particularly for the former two, that both Belleza, and Erza would hope to make in the expansion. as they were prepared to end up going here, when they met up with the rest of the entourage, prior to them being taken along by Amy to the jungle that they were coincidentally sent to scout out for a place to expand Egypt towards.
They did tell Amy about the objective that the Pharaoh sent them to execute, and they had to get Amy's permission to do that as well, just so that they won't make her upset that they were doing this behind her back as well. But they wanted this to be discreet, so they had her not telling the rest of the Entourage, and Sonic about what they were doing.
So, for now, they were looking around, taking images of the jungle, while preparing for defending themselves from the dinos that chances along their location, among other things that would attack them in the jungle, during their image taking.
"I admit it. This jungle looks so beautiful. I'm kinda glad that the Pharaoh is sending us here, if it'll mean that we'll have new homes to make in this section of the jungle." Belleza said.
"I'm with you, Bell." Erza said, using her nickname. "I admit, I enjoy the jungle to roam in. It's just so pretty to roam inside. That, and the dinos are pretty too. I hope we won't have to exterminate them to near extinction in bringing in a new town here.
"So do I." Blaze said. Continuing to take images of the jungle.
"Guys! Are you here?!" Sonic's voice sounded, much to their shock and terror at them being found out. Especially as they heard him coming closer.
"Where are you, girls?! The Princess is waiting for you!" Shahra's voice also sounded, showing that she was with Sonic.
None of them knew of what he would think about their plans for the Dino Jungle. But they were certain that he might not approve of their intentions. So they knew that they might need to do something to ensure that Sonic isn't going to end up finding out what their intentions are, and react negatively to it.
"What'll we do? Sonic's going to flip! And probably refuse to help us." Erza said, fearing that result, regardless of how unlikely it is, knowing that Sonic could forgive them, or not really care about what they're doing. But better safe than sorry in this case.
They debated what they could do, as they heard Sonic coming closer to their location, feeling that he could be close. Soon, Belleza had an idea.
"I can distract him. You guys just continue the camera work." She said, coming to where she could hear Sonic.
"Right." Both of them said, having an idea on what Belleza could be doing to distract him. But they didn't care, just as long as she's able to keep him covered.
Back with Sonic, he was feeling that he could be getting close as he was hearing sounds that sounded cameras being used. He felt that it could be them, so he continued jogging forwards, hoping that he would find them soon.
"Guys! Where could you be?!" He and Shahra called out. Feeling that he was getting closer to them as he was hearing some plants rustling.
Especially when the plants were starting to rustle close to him by the minute, showing signs that someone was coming to him. He hoped that it was either Blaze, Belleza, or Erza that was coming to him.
He braced himself for something different, only to see that it was Belleza that was coming to him out of the brush.
"Hey Belleza, where's Erza and Blaze?" Sonic asked.
"They're fine. No signs of danger yet, or we would've told you guys already." Belleza quickly said. "By the way, how's the gang? And how's the Princess?"
"They're fine too. And so is Amy. No dinosaurs came to ambush us. And they're still at the oasis too. Why-"
"That's good, because I would like to show you something that I know you'll like." She said, taking him by the hand to where she won't bring Sonic to Erza, and Blaze. Instead, she was going to take him somewhere else that she knows won't be too far from the group.
"W-Wait! Where're we going?"
"Somewhere private. Where we will be safe from any dino that wants to eat us. And in case you're wondering, it involves this." She said, continuing onwards as she pulled down her military shirt, showing her cleavage to Sonic, making him blush. "And before you ask, no. It isn't involving sex. Not yet. Instead, I know you'll like this too." She then said, thinking that Sonic is getting some naughty ideas.
"You mean, y-you're going to dance for me?" He asked, blushing alongside Shahra. Despite how familiar he was with the belly dancing that the girls in this world has done.
"Maybe." Belleza huskily said as they kept on moving.
Soon, they were at a clearing, that had a stump on the ground. Which Belleza viewed as a great place to dance for him in, as she got him on the stump. And soon, he was sitting on it while Shahra was by his side, hoping that Belleza isn't going to kill him.
A plan, that Belleza was not even close to thinking about trying. She did feel fond of Sonic after all, even from when they first met. And she heard that he saved Amy as well. And he did look admittedly cute to her as well.
So, she felt that it'd be an unforgivable sin to kill him. Instead, she plans on distracting him, and she knew what to do.
So, she stood in front of him. Before she had a quick costume change, that changed her wardrobe from her current military uniform to a belly dancing uniform. Which consisted of chest wrappings that modestly covered her bust, and baggy pants that modestly covered her legs, yet showed off her figure. Particularly her posterior that she proudly showed off for him. As well as some shoes that curved inwards. Not to mention the veils that adorned her figure, and covered her lower face, which were see-through.
"Like what you see, Sonic?" She asked.
After he nodded in agreement as he blushed hard alongside Shahra, who was floating around him, while Belleza grinned. "I gotta thank Erza for the spell that changes my wardrobe." She thought, delighted to have her for a friend.
After some posing around, Belleza proceeded to belly dance for Sonic, shaking her hips as well as her butt for him, while also moving her arms around like an Egyptian dancer. She also jumped while also twirling around like a ballet dancer herself.
Seeing that Sonic was still focused on her and wasn't showing signs of any inevitable zooming to where Blaze, and Erza was continuing to take pictures of the jungle, had her relieved to know that her plan was working without problems. Now she had to ensure that they'll be done, by the time that her session with Sonic is over. For now, she continued to dance for him.
"I didn't think that you know how to dance too, despite being captain of the guard." Sonic said.
"Thank you. Let's just say that I was given some pointers on how it's done." Belleza said, continuing to dance and shake her hips for Sonic.
Sonic took her word for it, feeling that she likely saw the royal belly dancers performing around the palace. Which might've given her some pointers on how the dancing was done. And so far, she was learning well from their performance as she danced for him.
"What are you doing this for? What did Sonic do, to earn a dance from you?" Shahra asked, confused and embarrassed by the dancing that Belleza was doing.
"For being cute?" Belleza said with a shrug. Trying not to let them know of her distracting dance's intention. "Plus… how else would I reward Sonic for ensuring that our Princess would be safe?"
"First Carmelita, and now her? If this is what usually happens if I save Amy, then I should save more princesses more often." Sonic thought, feeling that this isn't a bad reward to receive for saving Amy from the scorpion.
Shahra felt that there could be something fishy about this, in why she could be dancing for Sonic. But she felt, and hoped that as long as it won't involve harming Sonic, then she has little reason to investigate why she's doing this.
The dance lasted for some minutes until Belleza is done. Which was when she got a call on her communicator. "Sorry, I gotta get this." She said, pulling out the comm from her pocket of her dress. Which she knew had to be from her friends.
Sure enough, it was, as she answered it. "Hello?"
"We're done here, Belleza. We'll wait for you in the same location once you're done with Sonic." Blaze's voice sounded on the other end.
"That's good news. I thought that I'd have to continue the distraction." She quietly said into her comm. "I'll meet you gals at the jungle. Then we come back to the Princess. Was there anything else that you found though?"
"Just one. It's a temple." She responded.
"A temple? Does it have something of value in it? Maybe the Ring we were hearing about?" She asked.
"It should. As it seems like it holds some rare stuff inside of it. So hopefully it's a Ring." Blaze responded.
"Then let's go there, after we reunite with the Princess. Belleza out." She said before ending the call.
"What is it?" Sonic asked. With Shahra wondering the same thing.
"My fellows have discovered a temple in the jungle. It may have the Ring that you could be looking for." Belleza said.
"Really? If so, then we should head there quickly, once we get back to Amy." Sonic said, getting off the stump. "Can you find Blaze, and Erza?"
"Of course. They should be this way." Belleza said. Leading Sonic to their location in the jungle to reunite with them. While hoping that they aren't going to be caught taking more photos of the jungle for expanding purposes.
*Time Skip*
It was after minutes passed, when Sonic, Erza, Blaze, and Belleza was now back with the group as they were near the Oasis. Some of the dancers, including Krystal were looking damp, showing that they bathed after Minerva did during Sonic's time apart. And now they were waiting and sitting near the oasis, waiting for them to come back. While Tikal was still near Amy and Nagini, becoming her friend.
And they saw Sonika was still flirting with Ralsei, making him blush. And yet he smiled, showing that he wasn't minding being flirted with, courtesy of Sonika. Which had Sonic feeling that his female self might gain a boyfriend by the time he gets the Ruby and undo's its magic on the worlds, or once he marries Amy, and wishes for the same result through her. He didn't know what to think about Sonika pairing herself with Ralsei. But it didn't involve disapproval.
"We found something! Something that we hope could involve the objective that we're here for." Belleza said to Amy.
"What is it?" She asked.
"It's a temple. A temple that is in this jungle." Erza said. "And I'm certain that we could be heading to a Chaos Ring, among other treasures once we get in that temple."
Amy ended up being pleasantly surprised that there was a temple in the jungle that they were in, along with Sonic, who was also not expecting that there was a jungle here, particularly as he remembered the last time, he was in the Dino Jungle when he was still on the road to fighting against Erazor Djinn with Shahra. So, he didn't think that there would be a temple like that in the Dino Jungle. And the only other jungle temple that he could think of off the top of his head was the Mystic Ruins temple that he went to, during the journey to defeating Eggman and Chaos.
Which also involved Tikal, who also assisted him through the journey. What an odd coincidence that she'd be here along with the jungle temple that he heard about. And without Chaos himself that they stopped with her help.
Nevertheless, this seemed like they had a one heck of a lead to the next ring that they could retrieve. And Sonic was feeling delighted that his journey wasn't going to take a long time to complete at this rate.
"A jungle temple. Oh, now this journey has gotten more interesting. And hopefully fun." Minerva spoke, looking forward to venturing there with the group.
"Okay, then how about we check out that temple? I'm betting plenty of gold that the ring we're looking for is in there." Sonic spoke.
"Good enough for me. I hope we can reunite with the rest of the group along the way, or once we get there." Amy said, as they were now on their way to the temple, once the dancers were dried off enough. And soon, they were walking in the jungle again, in the direction of the temple while Nagini was still wrapped around Amy. Keeping her eyes out for anything that could fight them.
They continued to walk through the jungle on their way to the temple, as Sonic was making conversation with some of the dancers. Particularly, Chel.
"So, where are you from?" He asked, feeling that Chell has do be from a different part of the world.
"I'm from El Dorado, a city of gold, that happens to house my people inside, hidden from the world in the mountains. And it is in the Americas, A Continent that is west of this Continent, and Europe." Chel said.
"Really?" He asked, remembering having arrived to America when he was sucked out of Mobius along with his friends, and enemy in Eggman, thanks to the latter's machine that sent them there by accident. And he remembered meeting Chris there, among other people, like the racer that tried to chase him down, before deciding to race with him, named Sam Speed. As well as the organization known as G.U.N, that tried to imprison him due to Shadow's antics. And that is not to mention Madonna. "So that makes you an American. Yet your skin is darker than theirs." He said, referring to Jessica, Holi, and Madonna.
"You may be correct, but I come from the city of gold, where my people lived, in the southern continent of the Americas." Chell responded. "It is a beautiful city that I'm ultimately glad to have been born in."
"Really? I hope that I can go to that city someday." Sonic said, looking forward to finding that city of gold. If so that he can explore it, and maybe have some souvenirs from that place. Like some gold jewelry for him to give to either Sally, Breezie, Rouge, or Egyptian Gods forbid, Amy herself. "What had you deciding to come to Egypt though?" He asked curiously.
"Well, if I'm being honest, I didn't have a high social standing among my people in El Dorado." Chell somberly said. "I even did some thieving around since I was poor."
Sonic was unhappy to hear that. And he tried to ask, when Chell continued to speak.
"It wasn't always like that for me. As before I became poor, and when I was young, my parents and I were able to leave our old country and find ourselves out to the sea when they were able to build a nice enough boat that can make a long voyage." Chell said, before becoming somber. "Unfortunately, Pirates intercepted us. And slain my parents. Ever since then I have been forced to be one of them until I was able to escape back to my home. But there was nothing that I had left back in El Dorado. And all the Riches that my parents had was taken by those damn pirates. Leaving me a poor peasant in El Dorado."
"Oh. That's awful." Sonic said, feeling bad for Chell. "And that led you to eventually leave?"
"It played a part in why I left. But I also mainly left because I wanted to journey out of the city. And go see the world. Like my parents could've done, had the pirates not killed them. And I got my opportunity, when a pair of European men, one a Spaniard, the other an English man, ended up arriving to El Dorado. Where they were believed to be gods by my people. And that led to them not only being spared, but also worshipped." Chell humorously said.
"Worshipped?!" Sonic asked surprised and confused.
"Indeed. And it was due to the murals, and the art on their walls, and them riding on a horse, which none of us saw before. So, they took them in and gave them refuge out of worship. I on the other hand, already saw through their guise without much trouble and saw them as just scoundrels and con men that hoped to find riches here. But I played along with their guise, since they were nice gold hearted men to me, and the people regardless of their intentions. Not to mention cute, more so for the Spaniard. Plus, they were planning on going back to their country, and they had zero intentions of trying to conquer my people, so I decided to join them on their journey back once they pulled off their plan and left my city with the gold that they gained." Chell explained.
"Really?" Sonic asked intrigued. "I'm guessing that they got off Scot free, and rich with you?"
"Well, they left Scot free, yes. But rich? Not so much, as we all lost a bunch of it during our exit, due to their plan of sealing off the entrance to the city."
"What? Why would they do that?" Sonic asked confused.
"Because a British conqueror was coming, no thanks to a traitorous fellow native of my people who was aggressively into sacrificing people." Chell spoke with disdain on the last part. "And the former planned on conquering the city and annexing the country for his own country. So, we sealed the place off so that not only would that Conqueror be unable to enter it, but he would also believe that El Dorado doesn't exist. And that the traitor lied to him. Just as we planned. He is now their prisoner. And now we were free to venture the world despite losing the gold that they were given. And I was able to begin my new journey, with them as they journeyed through the world on their way back to Europe." Chell explained.
"Really? That must've been fun." Sonic said, intrigued. "Why are they not with you though?"
"We went our separate ways after we finally arrived to the Iberian continent that was still in Spanish and Carthaginian rule. But we're still friends. And we do keep in touch from time to time." She responded. "I even have some photos of our journeys together. But I left them back at the palace." She then said, in dismay. "I hope to show you them when we come back there."
"That'd be fine." Sonic said, intrigued about seeing those photos of her and her friends together. Then he wondered a different question. "What's with her though?" He asked, referring to Loona.
Chell shrugged. "I don't know much of her, other than she used to be a dancer herself. But I guess she wanted to prove that she's more than such. I didn't really feel like asking, considering her standoffish nature. She is best friends with the Princess, and Krystal though."
Sonic couldn't argue with that, as he too feels that she would be easy to annoy, and too reluctant to tell more about herself. So, he smartly feels that he must prove himself as more than a seemingly perverted hedgehog to her, by protecting Amy, and making sure not to have any perverted intentions towards her. Even though he admits that Loona's not bad on the eyes herself. And he is relieved that she, Amy and Krystal are friends considering the latter's friendly nature.
Right now though, they were in the middle of walking their way to the temple where the Ring should be. All while Jessica, and Holli wisely kept their distance, and their bickering in check since it could cause trouble again.
When they suddenly heard some bushes rustling. Causing them to look at the source of the noise while on the defensive, with all of them ready to fight what could be causing the noise, with all of them drawing their weapons, including Holli and Jessica, the former of whom had a whip in her hand, while Jessica had a cutlass in her hand. While Sonic was ready to fight. Although Amy quickly became his sword that he could use against the foe that could be in the bush. While Nagini was near them both, hissing at the bush as well. Which he didn't mind, despite showing that he can fight without a weapon.
Now they were ready to fight whatever was in the bushes as someone or something got closer to them. Leaving the moment tense as they looked at the bush, expecting either a beast, or a minion of the Vizier's that is trying to fight and kidnap Sonic again.
After a tense moment, someone emerged from the bush. And she was quite different.
It was a girl, who had milky colored skin, and turquoise blue hair, in a braided ponytail with a red ribbon and wore a white suit with a red waistband, a golden collar, a small blue vest, gold armlets, and red sandals. Which showed off her body that looked pretty shapely. With her bust being D-cup in size. It looked like clothing that seemed to fit more in a desert than in a jungle like this, but she didn't seem to care. Also, she happened to be holding a watch on her left hand that she was also looking at, as it beeped.
And it distracted her since she merely walked out of the bush, and into the line of sight of the group that had her weapons drawn, which she was able to notice as she looked at them before jumping backwards as she was intimidated yet was also relieved at seeing them.
"AH! Oh. I never thought I'd see people here in this jungle." The girl said. "Sorry about startling you girls into arming yourselves. I can assure you that I mean no harm." She then said defensively, hoping that she won't get beaten down. Or killed as she walked defensively out of the bush.
Fortunately for her, the group was also relieved that they weren't going to be fighting against another dino, or monster in the jungle as they lowered their weapons, and as Amy turned back into herself after the realization.
"Sorry miss. We thought there'd be a dino in those bushes. You know how sneaky some of them can be, after all." Krystal spoke.
"I can see why you'd say that, since I met some myself. Good thing they were friendly dinos that I met. But still, I should've yelled out that I'm not a dino, too. I'm just a lady adventurer that is looking for something." The girl said as Sonic looked at her, seeing that she looks pretty too. "Oh wait! I didn't introduce myself! My name is Bulma." The girl, known as Bulma said.
"Hi Bulma." Amy said, before introducing herself when she knew that the girl wasn't a threat. Much to her surprise.
"Wait! You're a Princess?! And yet, you're in this jungle?!" Bulma asked surprised. "It's nice that you seem to have an Entourage with you. But why did you come here?"
"Let's just say that we're looking for something. And it is in the temple that we're headed towards. Why are you here?" Amy then asked.
"Let's just say that I'm looking for something too. And it's in the temple that I'm headed towards as well." Bulma said. "And I was led here by the radar in my hand." She then said, showing that the watch in her hand was actually a radar. Much to their surprise. "Maybe I can come along with you guys? After all, my next destination was Agrabah once I'm done here. So perhaps I can join you all in finding something in the temple before we leave for Agrabah." Bulma said.
"Consider it done." Amy said, feeling willing to let her come along with them to the temple, then to her home. Considering that she looks nice, and doesn't seem to be a cunning jerk who could be planning to stab them in the back. Even if she could have her moments of cunning, but she hoped it won't be towards them. "Why do you plan to go to Agrabah though?"
"Well, let's just say that I plan to be a dancer too." Bulma said in response.
"Really? Well, I'm sure we have room for you to join in, if you're inclined to be a Royal Dancer." Amy responded, interested in seeing how Bulma would perform as a dancer.
Bulma nodded, quickly accepting to be part of the royal dancers, feeling that becoming such would work just as well, especially considering the prestige that comes with it, and how well protected she could be from some perverted folks, as she was now joining the gang, which introduced themselves to her. Along with Tikal, Sonic, and Shahra. While Amy introduced Nagini to her, while calming the latter down and assuring her that Bulma isn't a foe.
"It's nice to meet you, Bulma." Shahra said.
"Likewise." She said, as she joined the group as they were on their way to the temple. Which, coincidentally, Bulma was headed towards herself, when she incidentally intercepted them too.
Now they were continuing onwards through the jungle on their way to the temple. Which they were able to get to after minutes of walking in the jungle.
And it was an admittedly beautiful temple that they looked at. While it also looked quite familiar, to Sonic. Being that it was a pyramid-like structure consisting of four thick platforms stacked on top of one another and a staircase on each side leading up to the upper levels. It also featured two entrances on the top level on the front and back, with the door openings in the shape of a serpent's head.
It looked like the ancient Ruins temple that Sonic went to along with his friends, back when they fought Chaos. And yet it was also different in that it was also a bit like an Egyptian castle due to it also having two tower-like structures that was to the left and right of the main tower. It also had some sitting statues of some Pharaohs that was near the walls that connected to the upper levels of the temple. It also had some Egyptian murals instead of the Aztec-Mayan-Incan murals that had Echidnas all over it. Making it look like that was the home of the Ancestors of Knuckles.
And there was vegetation all over it. Like the jungle's plants among other vegetation was allowed to grow all over it, like the people that made it were fond of plants, or it was abandoned and not cared for, causing them to grow all over it without much resistance.
Each of the gang was looking on in awe at the sight of the temple. While Sonic was feeling like he returned to the Mystic Ruins in seeing the temple. But he knew that he's still in the World of Ancient Egypt, and that the universes could be counting on him to undo the crossovers that the Phantom Ruby has caused.
"Wow. It looks so big. And pretty." Amy said.
"I know. It kinda looks like an ancient Mayan temple." Chell spoke. "Trust me, I've seen a few during my travels in the Americas. And yet this one also looks Egyptian."
"And yet. It feels… like I was here before." Krystal spoke.
"Like you were here before? You mean you're feeling deja vu?" Sonic asked.
Krystal nodded. "I think that I was here when I was still by mother's side back when she was still alive, and escorting us through this section of this jungle, on our way towards where Agrabah is. Prior to that fateful day."
Sonic remembered being told about that by Krystal, then Carmelita. And he still had sympathy for Krystal when it came to losing a mother. Even though he didn't know his own mother, back when he was searching for her along with his siblings, without success. Which had them believing that she was dead. So, he felt that he relates with Krystal on that part.
"What happened on that day?" Bulma asked curiously.
"I lost my mother." Krystal said, somberly yet casually.
"Seriously?!" Bulma said in shock. And she could've asked what happened that led to that, but Bulma felt that she could make Krystal sad and upset in thinking about that day. So, she wisely, and politely assumed that her mom died, and decided to ask more about that, whenever Krystal is willing to. "I'm sorry for your loss." Bulma decided to say to Krystal.
"It's okay. I had help in moving on, courtesy of my adoptive sister and her family. The former of which, is with another group. They'll be here shortly." Krystal said. "I'm sure you'll like her as a fellow dancer. But right now, I feel that we must enter the temple now, and get that ring."
"Agreed." Amy said in agreement. "But first, we need to tell the other group where we are, so that they know where to go to find us." Amy then said.
Sonic agreed, as he wasn't going to leave them behind once he was done in the jungle with Amy. So, Amy proceeded to call Foxina who led the group alongside Renamon, to tell her that they're at the temple, before giving her the coordinates of the temple that they were at, to lead them to there before ending the call.
"Okay. They're on their way here. It shouldn't take too long for them to come here now that they know where we are." Amy said. "Now, let's get in that temple!" She the called out to the group.
They proceeded to obey. As they all entered the temple together with Nagini on the lookout for any foe they could meet inside.
Meanwhile…
In the same temple, a silhouette in the shadows was inside the dark shadows as she was lazing about inside her room.
Which was what she usually does. She cares for her plants since she was quite fond of the plants. And she does some exercise for her plants along with her body. And she cares for the animals that are friendly to the jungle. Like both the herbivores and the carnivore dinosaurs of the jungle. Just as long as neither of them end up causing senseless destruction to the jungle.
That goes for the other visitors that ends up wandering around in the same jungle, like the ones that she ended up learning about through her plants that saw the party as they were entering the temple. Which entered into the room with her shortly after the group's arrival, and were mentally speaking to her.
"Trespassers? Here?" The female asked. Gaining a nod from the plants before they continued to speak. "Egyptians? And from Agrabah? And you say that the princess is among them?!" She asked. "I'm guessing she has an entourage with them. Does she not?"
The plants responded with another nod. Before telling her a bit more. "And you say, that the entourage has 'them' among them?" She then asked, suddenly feeling angry.
After the plants nodded, she was now standing up. "How interesting. If that is the case, then it is time for me to welcome them to this place." She then said, bracing herself for meeting the group, particularly the select few that she was planning to meet face to face. While with the rest of the group, she didn't know if she would let them go and explore the place, or have other plans for them.
Particularly for the princess, and the handsome blue hedgehog that was leading the group along with the princess as she was now getting out of the room.
Back with the group…
The group was continuing to follow Sonic and Amy as they were roaming around the halls. Where they were looking around at their surroundings that was illuminated by some torches, and flashlights that Amy, and the group was using..
The halls were Egyptian in design as they did have some murals, and carving of Egyptian characters on them. And yet they each also had some vegetation on them as well. Obviously since this place didn't get cared for enough to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
That did put a chill up the group's spines. And even Sonic was feeling a bit unnerved at the sight in front of him. It was like a plant creature was taking over, or a rouge seedrian took the place over. Which does make Sonic, Shahra, and Hertia curious of who the seedrian is and why she was here.
If that was a Seedrian that was here that is.
They kept on going through the halls, continuing to tread lightly just in case the plants start to turn hostile, or something else ends up happening that could ambush them during their trek in the temple.
It was minutes of walking, when they ended up in a room in the temple which was illuminated by the brightest of torches that illuminated the whole room. Making their torches unnecessary.
Sonic was familiar with the room, knowing that he went through this room to follow that light spirit through the entrance to the room that began his trek through this temple. While hearing that Knuckles also went through the same room in the temple that also housed the pieces of the Master Emerald that was broken off when Eggman freed Chaos from its prison along with the Spirit of Tikal. Which was the light spirit that guided him on his journey to defeating Chaos.
Here though, there was a major difference, being that it was Egyptian themed with plenty of Egyptian murals on the walls, along with other Egyptian designs. Even though it also had a bunch of Vegetation on it. And Sonic hoped that this would be the only difference.
"This looks like a temple fit for a Seedrian." Sonic spoke.
"I know. It's unfortunate that this is seemingly abandoned like this." Hertia said, with Amy in agreement along with the other dancers.
"I know. I kinda feel bad for whoever owned this place when he passed on, knowing that this place would be decayed, and taken by the jungle." Tikal said.
Sonic agreed with Tikal on that one. As did the rest of the group. Particularly Amy, Krystal, Bulma, Belleza, Chel and Blaze.
But they weren't here to probably take it and renovate it, they needed to find the ring for Sonic. They can do it later.
So they continued on, with Sonic and Sonika leading the group as they began their trek together. With them stepping on the water.
If Sonika was in a more playful and slutty mood, she would've been taking off her clothes, and taking a wash in the water. Even having a splash fight with Sonic, or Ralsei. But she knew that there is a better time for such a thing. And it wasn't here. But she kept that in mind for later as the group were now going to the entrance to the rest of the interior of the temple.
"Okay Sonic, and Sonika. You wanna dash your way through there? Now's the time." Amy said, feeling that the entrance's hall ahead seemed long enough to justify them dashing through there.
Which they both felt, that Amy's right. Now is the good time for them to run fast.
"Okay fine. Let's do it to it!" Sonika responded. "Race ya."
"You're on." Sonic said in responded, feeling competitive to race himself as a girl.
So they both dashed through the hall, fast, as Shahra was still in her ring. Much to Bulma's surprise.
"Wow! They're fast!" Bulma said.
"I know. I admit I had a little trouble to try to keep up with that handsome hedgehog. It's no wonder he seems to call himself the 'Fastest thing alive'." Amy said. Briefly imagining herself testing out Sonic's speed of his hips in bed.
Before she quickly kept her mind out of the gutter. As she knew what she needed to do foremost. "Let's go girls! We shouldn't lose those guys." Amy said, before she too followed the hedgehogs with her magic with her group close behind her. Keeping Nagini wrapped around her so she won't fall off. And while cradling her head so she wouldn't accidentally drag her head around.
Which was much to Bulma's surprise as she was now running along and catching up with the group as they surprisingly caught up with Sonic and Sonika as they dashed through the winding hall after it descended. She didn't think that she and the group were fast enough to keep up with the fast blue hedgehogs. Let alone herself.
But she heard that Amy was a magical princess. So she felt that her magic was the reason, as they were still close behind the hedgehogs as the hall was winding around and then curving to the right in a U-turn as they continued to descend.
Until they were now in a round tunnel, where there was fire that was being made along with some blocks that popped up from the ground, trying to stop them in their tracks. Much to the horror of some of the dancers, and Bulma.
"Oh no! I hope that I don't get burned! It'd be a pain to get the soot off of my skin! And I'd rather not have my clothes burning to ashes." Bulma said, with a few in agreement on the latter.
But Sonic and Sonika bravely continued onwards along with Amy close behind them, also braving the fire with the other dancers as they nevertheless continued to follow Sonic and Sonika through the round cylindrical room until they exited the cylindrical room and ran into the next hallway.
Where they continued to dash through until they got to another room. This time having some spikes on some square sections of the floor but they sailed over them to the elevated floor, where they saw a snake statue open its mouth to show a doorway. Only this one also had some plants on it that showed some rose buds for its eyes.
"Wow. That's a cool entrance." Amy said, liking the design of the doorway to the next room. Which had her wanting to remind herself to add that to her hidden palace.
Beyond the entrance, was a staircase that moved upwards. Which they dashed upwards through until they reached the room that was quite dark. Leading to them to relight their torches, while Sonic and Sonika stopped so that they won't crash into anything in the dark.
"Oh geez. Where's the exit." Sonic said, not liking the dark room that he and the group were in. Especially since they heard water that was in the room as well. So Sonic and Sonika could drown here if they fall into the water that they were sure, was quite deep. It was also a while since he was in here after all. So he didn't remember the way out of this room. As did the group, since they all didn't like this room either.
Fortunately, both Krystal and Tikal was able to know after a minute of thought. Knew of a way out. "I think if we shine a light from the sun through these mirrors, we can find a way through." Krystal said, gesturing to one of the mirrors.
"Really? Have you been here before?" Sonic asked after he proceeded to redirect the mirror to another one to shine a light through to the mirror. Likely sunlight.
"Not really. But I remember having been told by my mother that this is what I should do if I end up here someday." Krystal responded. "I guess she expected for me to return to this temple someday."
"But for what? Treasure?" Bulma asked.
"It seems like it. I remember that mother left some things here, prior to our journey to Agrabah." Krystal said.
"Then it seems we have something else to find in this temple as well. Let's make that a secondary treasure that we shall find once we come across it in this temple as we find that ring." Amy said. Dawn felt like agreeing with her. As she did look forward to finding some treasure with the group in this temple. Even though she wouldn't take it if it belonged to Krystal.
"Sounds good to me." Sonic said with Sonika in agreement as he proceeded to continue shining the light with the mirrors to illuminate the bridge for them to cross to the other side of the room after coming across the obstacles like the separated sections of the bridge, and the rolling blocks.
Where once they got to the exit of the room after getting through the obstacles, they continued on, where they heard a bunch of water flowing. Which they saw, was a fast flow of water that was ahead of them. Like a waterslide.
"Well, it seems that we're going to go down that waterslide." Bulma said a little nervously since the water looked a little deep. But it was seemingly the only way forward.
Sonic was also a little disappointed since he didn't feel as fond of waterslides either, especially if it leads to a pool. "Is there another way forward?" He asked.
The group, including Amy was shrugging in response. While Amy was the few people that was feeling excited. Mainly since she was going to be going down a waterslide with Sonic.
Seeing no other option, Sonic was merely shrugging, deciding to go through with it. "Okay. Hopefully this won't lead to a deep pool. Coming guys?"
"Oh Sonic~, I thought you'd never ask~." Amy said with a husky grin as she was now by his side, and holding his hand alongside Sonika as she held his other hand.
Sonic didn't complain though, before he was now rushing to the water with Amy, and Sonika in tow. Before the water carried them off into the hallway with the group quickly following them along.
"Woah! Hang on guys!" Hertia yelled out as they were soon sliding down the slopes in the hall as they were close behind the three hedgehogs that led the group as the hall was filled with sounds of yelling. Whether in excitement in Amy, Tikal, Minerva, Dawn, Krystal, Hertia, Sonika, Holli, Chell, and even Sonic's case later on, or in a bit of fear, like in Ralsei, Bulma, Jessica, Vanilla, Madonna, and even Shahra's case. (While Loona merely casually slid down with them with nary a damn given.)
Thankfully for the group, there wasn't any hazards in this slide as they continued onwards, until they reached the end where they were now falling down the waterfall, where they quickly saw that they were heading downwards onto the land that was in what looked like a large creek in a gorge. Which they all landed on, so they didn't need to swim to it, which was fine by Sonic and some of the group that couldn't swim either. Like Ralsei, Loona, and even Shahra. The latter of which, was a demi Genie, so she didn't really need to swim.
Now they were leaping over the water when they noticed some blocks in the water. They each soon got to the exit to the room as they were now heading onward regardless of the blocks that they saw were on fire, which unnerved them but they bravely kept going.
Then they ended up in a room, where they were now going downwards down the ramp. Which had Tikal suddenly getting shocked. "Wait! Judging by the way this room is designed, I fear that we're probably going to end up getting chased here."
Sonic started to recognize that too, as he remembered this room with the boulder chase that he did. Which had him feeling like a certain adventure archaeologist when that happened.
Sure enough, when they heard rumbling, they turned around and looked upwards where they saw that indeed, there was a boulder that was about to roll.
"OH SHIT!" Loona yelled out.
"You said it, Loona! Let's go!" Sonika said, dashing away with Sonic close behind. And with Amy and Nagini in tow.
The group quickly obeyed as they were now running away from the boulder that was chasing after them, as they kept up with Sonic, and Sonika as they dashed ahead. While each of them were yelling and screaming as they ran. Particularly Bulma, who squealed about how she never signed up for something like this. Despite that, they all felt thankful that they were following a speedster like Sonic, and that Amy already had her spell cast on them to match his speed, because the boulder wasn't catching up, much to their relief. Especially Minerva, and Bulma's once she got over her moment of panic.
"Keep running! This room has an end to it!" Amy said, knowing that this chase can't last forever in this temple.
Fortunately for them, despite some close calls with the boulder, which was on fire, they all kept on running for minutes on end, with no signs of them slowing down, especially since the room was light, on hazards. Other than a jump across the gap to the other side where the ramp continued downwards. Until they were now at the exit of the room that they bounced to thanks to some springs.
Which was fortunate, as they continued onwards after some celebrating at seeing the boulder fall to the abyss below. Now they were moving onwards.
Where they came across a figurative fork in the road, as they saw two paths that went off into separate directions.
"Welp. It seems that we might be splitting up." Sonic said, quickly knowing where this was going.
"Very well. But I'm still staying with you, Sonic~." Amy said huskily. "As for you folks, Nagini, Krystal, Tikal, Chell, Madonna, Holli, Jessica, Vanilla, Hertia, and Dawn shall follow us. The rest of you shall follow Sonika, Belleza, and Erza."
The group obeyed, with them splitting apart as they each went down the halls. With Sonic, Amy and their group going left, while Sonika, Erza, and Belleza went right with their group. (With Ralsei among them, blushing up a storm since he was with Sonika. Whom had him in tow as she continued onwards.)
Where with Sonic's group, he was continuing onwards with his group. Some of which, particularly Jessica, and Holli, were huskily staring at him while his back was turned. While Sonic led ahead with Amy in tow as they were going through the hall until they got to the door that got them to the room. Which, happened to look a bit like a beach oasis full of shallow water. Not only that, but they saw what looked like an Egyptian building that looked like a gazebo, as well as a tiny temple.
And inside, was where there was something that had Krystal's interest. Being that it was some sort of treasure in a stone casket shaped box.
In fact, Krystal was looking at it, like she found some sort of treasure that she was recognizing as belonging to herself.
"Is that what I think it is?" Amy asked, seeing Krystal looking at it, and knowing what her look means as they were headed to it.
"It… it must be." Krystal said, taking a picture out of her pouch on her leg. Where she was looking at the image, and saw that it was like the casket shaped box that they were looking at. All the way down to the symbol of an Omega sign on it.
Which caused her to run to it, until she was now next to it. "What is it? And why is there an image of the same box on your picture?" Sonic asked after looking at the image.
"Why it's supposed to be a box full of the treasures that my mother left in this temple, years ago. Treasure that is supposed to be from Cerinia." Krystal said happily. "She told me that when I am to come here as a grown up, I shall open it, and take the treasures inside, for my own."
"So what you're saying is that… this is where your mom went, to hide her treasure of Cerinia?" Sonic asked.
"Indeed. Mother told me that when she got back to the boat." Krystal said. "Now I wonder what those treasures are." She said.
Krystal decided to push the lid of the treasure box off with Amy, and some of the entourage's help. Until it was now off of the box, showing what was inside. Which had Amy and Krystal surprised, before they were both smiling.
"What is it? What's inside." Sonic asked, wanting to see the treasure inside.
"Oh, it's what I expected to see inside, according to her. And it's… well, I think it's best if I show you what it is." Krystal then said, pulling out something for only Amy to see.
Which she took as a cue, to push Sonic out. "Sorry Sonic. But she's gonna need her privacy for this one." She said, pushing Sonic out of the little temple alongside her Entourage.
"What?! Oh come on! You're not gonna let me see that treasure?!" He complained. "It's not like she's gonna be putting it on as her new clothing, right?"
"Oh. How did you guess that she would?" Amy humorously asked.
Which surprised Sonic. "Wait. You mean that could indeed be clothing that is the treasure inside the box."
"Why of course it is, along with something extra that she's gonna show us once she's dressed up. So try not to make a sneaky peek into her little changing area. I don't think she'll appreciate that." Amy teasingly said, with the entourage members in agreement, including Vanilla.
Sonic quickly obeyed, not feeling keen on being a pervert towards her, even if it is tempting. So he and the group waited in the room for her to finish her dressing up in what Sonic guessed, is her new outfit. While Amy and some of the entourage, being Jessica, and Holli, were blocking the doorway to block the view of Krystal stripping naked to redress in the new outfit.
Which lasted not too long. As Sonic was ensuring that he will stay put even if he is not known for patience, while making sure he won't end up thinking about a naked Krystal in the room, trying on the outfit if she's going to read his mind, and tease him about it in front of everyone in the room. Until eventually, Krystal was now done, as she was now stepping out of the tiny temple, showing her new outfit that had Sonic quickly feeling his jaw drop at the sight of it.
The new outfit that she wore was like her old one that she had, with a few noticeable differences. First, her cloth top was no longer entirely golden with white triangles. Instead, it was now like a see-through top that showed her cleavage, while gold straps held it in place, including the straps that looked like banners with triangles in the middle that hung down in the middle of her top's cups, which hid her nipples. Then there was her loincloth that was still white with golden trims, but it was designed different since it trailed to her knees, the gold trim was at the edges of her loin cloth, while also connecting to what looked like a gold chain belt that consisted of circular almond shapes that are connected by singular metallic strings that wrapped around the edges of those shapes through the wide holes, and it looked more exposing since it only barely hid her buttcheeks unlike her original loincloth, not to mention that it also looked to be see-through, since it showed her thighs, but it also looked like it was barely see-through since it hid her naked crotch in a similar manner to hiding someone behind a steam covered glass wall.
And she had gold forearm guards, and shoulder guards that also looked pretty different as they both had swirly wavelike patterns carved into them, and the shoulder guards were connected to a sort of golden brace that wrapped around her neck, and her collarbone while also having gaps that made it expose her fur, and they also were connected by thin gold chains. And in the middle of the brace, a triangular Emerald Gem was held in place as it pointed down to in between her cleavage. And while she still had her Tiara, it also was designed differently since it was golden, and also had etched patterns on it as it looked triangular as it pointed up. And finally, she also wore a sort of magenta diamond on her face between her eyes and on the bridge of her nose, which also was held in place by a golden accessory that was held in place by two thin gold chains that wrapped around her head, with the bottom chain also having a row of five rings on each side of her face, which had Sapphire diamonds hanging on them like earrings.
The whole outfit, had her looking not only sexy, but also quite Regal. She looked like she could be a Princess, or even a Queen of Greece while wearing those garments.
The latter of which, the whole group save for Sonic, that was with her, couldn't help but notice as they took pause while looking at her in awe, before they ended up bowing to her. Even Amy was bowing to her in respect. While Sonic, on the other hand, was also unable to hide his awe, and his admiration towards her. He admits, she was looking more beautiful than last time.
Which Krystal already noticed. As she grinned. "Like what you see, Sonic?" She asked teasingly as she posed.
Sonic nodded without thinking. While hoping that his 'Chilidog' won't get noticed by the other girls in the room as it was tempted to rise for Krystal. Whom was still smiling at Sonic, not minding his stares at her beauty. He even feels that if she were to sense his 'Chilidog' waking up, she might not mind that.
Which she doesn't. Since she knew that he is still going to remain polite to her, and won't be getting perverted and lustful towards her unless she doesn't mind it, or when they are close enough for him to do it when she doesn't mind.
That shouldn't stop them from making out with each other if they so choose. As Krystal was sensing Sonic imagining making out with her right then and there in the chamber room. Which had her feeling like granting him that little wish, as she stepped to him before she decided to kiss him, startling him.
And did she end up sneakily rubbing his 'Chilidog' as well?
"You're lucky that you're handsome, and nice, you know that?" Krystal quietly said to him.
Sonic was agreeing with her on that. As he doubted that he could get this kind of interaction from any lady other than Amy. (Mainly due to Amy's love for him.) If it would end badly for him once they see that he was erect, that is.
"Indeed I do. And I feel that I'm quite lucky, since I'm with a beautiful Queen like you, Krystal." He quietly said while flirting with her.
Much to her delight as she proceeded to kiss him again, this time with Sonic kissing back at her.
"No offence Krystal, but are you about done showing off your beautiful looks to him? We still have a ring to find." Amy said with a bit of jealousy in her tone.
That little reminder, put them back to reality as they both quickly stepped back from each other to give each other some space. "Right. Of course." Sonic said, ready to continue with the group that was with him. "Before we go though, is that all you found in there?" He asked Krystal.
Who was also reminded of what else she found, as she was smiling happily. "Why yes. Other than this obviously queenly outfit, I found this too." She then said, taking out an item from her pouch, showing that she put it in there after she took it out of there.
It was a piece of stone, which looked like it was a stone tablet piece that she had in her hand. And that one showed a quarter of the Mediterranean Sea, including Rome. And it also showed that it had a bit of magic on it since it held a bit of a glow.
"Wow. What is it?" Sonic asked.
"I think I know what it is. It's a map tablet. And it looks like it has magic in it. Right?" Amy said.
Krystal nodded. "It's not just that. It's the tablet map to New Cerinia. A new home for the Cerinians like me. And judging by its glow, it means that my people have finally found a new place to call home."
"Really?! Your people finally found a new home?" Vanilla asked surprised along with the rest of the group.
Krystal smiled widely as she nodded again. "Yes. Which means once I gather all of the pieces of this tablet, I can find the location of New Cerinia! And that would mean I can meet my remaining family again. And even find a home with them there. Not to say that I have no home in Agrabah."
"Ah. And maybe even become Queen as well?" Dawn asked jokingly.
Krystal was startled at that question before shrugging. "Beats me. I feel that this could be like a Royal garb for a Queen to wear in Cerinia, but I legitimately don't know if I was Royalty prior to leaving for Egypt."
The group was startled. "Wait. You mean you don't know? And you don't remember if you were?" Sonic asked.
"Of course, I don't remember. I remember only bits of my life back in the old place where Cerinia was. But not really if I was princess. Judging by these garments though, I feel that I could be." She said, posing in the new outfit. Mainly to show off how regal it could be.
"Either way, I feel that we can only find out if we search for the rest of the pieces to the map tablet. I hope we can find them all, during the journey for the rings." Vanilla said.
"I'm hoping so too. Right now, we're finding the ring in this temple." Amy said, getting back to their goal, as they were soon moving onwards again through the temple. With Krystal having no trouble moving around due to the outfit's skimpiness, and since the loincloth didn't reach the floor.
Now they were going to the west of the small temple, to the next room that was nearby, where they saw that most of it was full of ankle deep water. While there was also some foes inside, like the enemies that they met before back in the oasis desert on their first journey out of Egypt, with Sonic. Being Erazor's minions.
"Oh great. More of them?" Sonic asked, bracing himself for fighting them alongside the dancers, and Amy.
The latter of whom, was about to turn into a weapon for Sonic again, when she had an idea, as she was now pulling out a book from her pockets. Before quickly reading from it, for the spell that she would like to use.
Which she was able to find after a brief moment. Much to her delight. "Brace yourselves guys!" She warned, before casting her spell.
Which caused them all to float in the air. Including the minions, who were also floating upwards like gravity was reversed.
"Woah!" Sonic yelled out as he floated. "Is this another one of your powers?!"
Amy nodded with a smile. "Indeed. I can control gravity in a room like this. Which means that those minions are going to have a bad time in fighting us. Plus it beats climbing upwards to another room."
Sonic quickly agreed with her, as he noticed some panels that he recognized as the panels that he had to use to climb up the walls to a higher place due to their magical magnetism. They did consume time, so he was glad that Amy learned the spell as they were now floating upwards.
While Krystal, Jessica, and Holli was shooting at the minions with their magic, the former of whom, was shooting it out of her staff as the minions were futilely trying to swim in the air to dodge them, or get to them. Nagini even spat out some venom on them, showing that she had some ranged attacks as well. Which showed Sonic that he should not mess with Amy with Nagini around.
Soon, they were at the ceiling, where Amy was now floating through the air as she and Sonic were now headed towards the exit to the room. Which they used to continue onwards.
As they continued, they started to notice that the vegetation was starting to thicken a bit. Which did show a sign that they might be getting closer to the source of them, whom could be the current owner of the temple. So they continued onwards, when they ended up in a room.
Which happened to have plenty of plants inside it that was standing tall, along with some vines that also had flowers growing on them.
Each of which, looked beautiful to the whole group.
"Wow. They look pretty." Amy said.
"I know." Sonic said, agreeing with Amy on that one. As was the group that was with them.
They soon were interacting with the flowers, feeling how soft they were in their hands, as well as how good they smelled. Little did they know, they triggered the owner's little trap. And they were soon sniffing the scent that was now emanating from the flowers.
Sonic on the other hand, was looking around, trying to find an exit to the room they were in that would lead them to the ring, if and once he knows the ring isn't here, and hopefully back to the rest of the group that was also in the temple.
After looking around for a minute in the room, Sonic soon knew that the ring wasn't here. "This room seemingly doesn't have the ring. Guess we're gonna have to keep going." He said.
"Oh, we could~. But we could take a little rest here too." Amy suddenly said huskily.
"What do you mean?" He asked, before he, Tikal, and Shahra got startled when he noticed the tone in Amy's voice. "Why doesn't that sound right?" He thought.
After turning, he saw that Amy was looking at him with a husky look on her face. Along with the other dancers that was also looking at him seductively as they were all walking towards him with a saunter in their hips.
Sonic backed away, feeling startled at their sudden seductive looks on their face, when he suddenly fell backwards onto a stone stool that was suddenly behind him, courtesy of Amy summoning it there.
"Besides. I think we didn't properly thank you for the rescue towards me back in the oasis. So, sit back, and relax." Amy said with seduction along with the girls as they were starting to sway their hips.
Soon, they were giving Sonic a little lap dance together, with Amy in the middle as she was the closest to Sonic. Even pressing her breasts onto his chest as she lap danced for him. Even showing signs of taking off some of her cloth alongside her dancers, particularly Holli, and Jessica. All while Nagini was in the back, letting the whole thing happen.
As aroused at the dance as Sonic was, Shahra, and Tikal noticed that their eyes were pink colored. Which was a telltale sign that they were probably hypnotized into being this forward with him. "Sonic! There's something wrong with them!" Shahra said, showing Sonic their eye colors, like they were hypnotized.
Which they were. Thanks to the flowers' scent in the room, making them naughtier for Sonic. And each of them was looking at him through rose tinted glasses.
"Snap out of it guys! There's something wrong with this room!" He said, guessing that it could be the flowers that was making them like this.
"And miss all the fun that I would like to give to you?" Amy asked, continuing to lap dance for Sonic.
"I wouldn't miss it. But there's something wrong here. You wouldn't try doing this out of the blue, after all." Sonic said, noting how sudden this is alongside Shahra, and Tikal.
But Amy wouldn't listen. She continued to lap dance for him, much to his embarrassment as he was wondering what was causing this to happen. And he also wondered how his female self, and the other group was faring.
Meanwhile…
Speaking of them, they were in another room after some similar hazards that they overcame. Where they were currently facing off against another hazard.
That hazard being an athletic, and acrobatic blonde girl. Whom was making a nuisance of herself against them.
That blonde lady had pure white skin, with cyan eye colors, and a slender yet sexy build while also wearing a two piece skintight black and red strapped croptop that had a diamond, and star on it, and modest briefs that showed off her legs, and also wore black and red sneakers with pompoms as well as thigh high socks with the same color. Her breast size is DD-cup.
The Blonde lady ambushed them in the room as she was fighting them with her bat. She was unable to overpower the group as they fought back, particularly Belleza, and Erza as they fought back hard. But despite their might, the blonde lady wasn't easy to take down, let alone touch as she was dodging each of their strikes.
All while Bulma wasn't helping in the fight, since she was cowering behind some of the group, having not expected that they would fight any foes inside this temple. Not that any of them would blame her, since she obviously isn't a fighter yet when she met them and needed some training for self-defense. But still, it was annoying.
Particularly since the lady was continuously jumping around, being hard to hit due to her acrobatic dodging. Whether she jumped over their attacks, ducked under them, or even ran around them. It was a fight that wasn't a difficult one but was quite annoying. Especially since she merely attacked them with a bat. And some jester-like tricks, but that is it.
"Missed me! Missed me! Now you gotta kiss me!" The lady called out in a Brooklyn accent. Much to the group's chagrin as they tried striking back. Only to miss again.
The only ones who was gaining an upper hand was Sonika, and Ralsei. The former was fast enough to keep up with her and hit her, while the latter was able to hit her with his ranged fire attacks that did slam into her, and send her into a wall, but she was quick to get on her feet and continue her antics. Not to mention that Galaxina was also using her plants to trip her up as well, but despite the advantage because of that, she was still keeping on her feet.
"Stop playing around and fight us! Or get out of our way!" Belleza demanded. "Who are you?!"
"Why she is my protege of course. As well as my companion that came to my temple, one day." Another female's voice sounded.
Which startled all of them, even the blonde lady. "Oh, hi Red. I thought you were preoccupied with the others." She said.
"They're already preoccupied with each other now. They will be out of this temple soon, once they're done with their devices. Besides, these folks are my target." The voice responded. "You can now leave this, to me."
She then said, as the vines were soon surrounding the group, whom were bracing themselves for whatever the vines were planning to do to them.
And then they saw that the blonde lady was near an opening in the vines, where they saw that someone who controls the vines and the plants in the room was soon entering through there.
"Who are you?" Erza asked, this time to the person controlling the vines.
"I am the owner of this place, and the mother to these plants you see before you."
The voice then said, before opening up to show who it was.
She was a red-haired human woman, with hair that had an orange tone to her red hair that trailed down to her butt. She had white skin that was sun kissed, and green eye colors. And she wore a two piece bikini that happened to be made of green leaves that modestly covered her naughty bits but showed off her beauty to the group. Her breast size is E-cup.
"I am Pamela Isely. But call me Poison Ivy." She introduced herself. "And this is Harley Quinn. A friend of mine."
The group was surprised to see that it was a woman that was controlling the plants. And not a seedrian. Either way, they didn't think that they would meet someone like her and Harley Quinn in this temple that they initially thought was abandoned.
While in Belleza, Blaze, and Erza's eyes, they noticed her leering gaze at their direction. And it was unnerving them.
"Well hello there. I'm Sonika." She said, introducing herself along with the group to the woman known as Poison Ivy. Hoping that she could be a friendly spirit, and not a foe to them.
Which so far, she was the former, as she was showing no hostility towards them. "Nice to meet you all." She then said, curtsying to them alongside Harley. "What brings you to my temple?"
"W-Well… we're searching for something." Ralsei said, feeling embarrassed by her own beauty. As he too thought of Ivy as beautiful. Though he still had a crush on Sonika. "A ring, of course."
Ivy was intrigued by what he said. "A ring? And what kind of ring are you searching for?"
"Let's just say that ring is important to us. It's the reason why we are on this quest, that led us here. So, if you may kindly let us know where it is in this temple, and probably let us grab it, we'll be out of your hair." Sonika said, while hugging Ralsei into her chest, so that he won't blab about what kind of ring it is, if it'll have Ivy getting greedy, and wanting to keep the ring.
Which did leave Ralsei blushing heavily, while trying to prevent himself from nose-bleeding.
Ivy fortunately was remaining civil, and polite to the group, though was still leering at Erza, Blaze, and Belleza. "Oh I would. But there is something that I would like to have from a few of you." Ivy said.
"And what would it be?" Belleza asked.
Ivy ended up leering at them in response before asking a question. "Did that bastard, Erazor Djinn send you guys here?" She ended up asking. Much to Sonika's surprise, and shock.
It seemed to her that their journey is gonna get a bit complicated. And that they might've found their villain.
And done.
Hope you enjoyed this fic. And sorry that I took a while with this fic. I was in a bit of a writing slump. And I confess that I was losing interest in this fic. I nevertheless hope that you enjoyed this chapter.
And it seems that Poison Ivy is here in this fic too. To add a bit more to this story as well as to the tribute to Batman TAS, and the late Kevin Conroy. And yet Harley Quinn is here as well.
The reason why though, is because we recently lost another star of Batman TAS. This time being the VA for Harley Quinn herself, being Arleen Sorkin. So I decided to put her in too, as a tribute to her.
She gave Harley a personality, and helped give her newfound popularity because of it, leading to her breakout status. And I'm sure many of us is going to miss her. May Arleen rest in peace.
Changing the subject, it seems that Krystal has found something that would help her return to Cerinia, where the new home for that country happens to be. Along with a new costume. I admit I was initially going to have her remain in her SFA outfit throughout the story, but I was given the idea to give her a new outfit in the temple, which was based off the outfit by Gilgash on furaffinity. And I thought she looked nice in that. So I decided to have her wear that. So shout out to Gilgash for the outfit design that I hopefully described as best as I could in this chapter.
Also, poor Chell.
Finally, one more thing.
I hope that you enjoyed the chapter,
please give constructive criticism,
do not forget to read and review,
And once again, I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, or the other properties in this fic. Sonic, and all the other franchises in this fic belongs to their owners. Please support the official releases.
