In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle, the infamous Dino Jungle that Amy and her gang was roaming in, they were on the lookout for the ring that they were looking for, especially Sonic, and Shahra. Who was looking for any danger that could end up rearing its ugly head against his, and Amy's gang.

Like maybe a stampede of Triceratops that they remembered running from back in the Storybook of Aladdin's, before they defeated Erazor. Or the taller Brontosaurus' that could end up stomping on them by accident. Or even the dreaded T-Rexes that could end up seeing them as food. Oh, how much Shahra hopes not to meet one.

Sure, Sonic could end up defeating them, but Shahra hoped that they won't fight against an army of them, as they could be screwed at that point. Particularly the dancers, and the Princess, and her entourage. But they aren't going to let that stop the group from bravely exploring the jungle like they are on a journey. Which could be a fun one.

Especially for the dancers that either looked forward to going to the jungle, (Like Krystal, Carmelita, Minerva, and even Belleza.) or was in a jungle before. (Like Chell, Krystal again, and even Foxina.) Amy, and the gang even had a little change in wardrobe to reflect their current journey through the jungle. Which made them either look like adventurers in the jungle, giving them modest safari outfits. Which Amy, Carmelita, Sally, Bagi, and Neyla wore. Along with a re-summoned Jessica Rabbit, Loona, Foxina, and Renamon. All while Ralsei wore it too, but kept his green wizard-like coat, and matching hat on.

All while a few girls also ended up wearing dresses that also makes them look like Jungle girls. Like Liz, Krystal, a resummoned Holli Would, Belleza, Erza, Madonna, Chell, Sonika and Minerva. Especially since Krystal, and Chell, were the only ones that hasn't changed their outfits, as Krystal still had her white loincloth with golden trims, and golden cloth top on. While Chell still wore her off-white loincloth, and her pink, orange, and off-white crop top. Both of which in his opinion, wouldn't look out of place in a jungle setting like this one. Not only that, but Chell also seemed like she was from a jungle city, considering her skin tone, and her knowledge of jungle paths, and where to go. Not to mention her primitive weapon. He's just curious on which city in the jungle that she's from.

And that is not to mention Nagini, who was wearing… nothing. But since she is a snake, then no one cared. Not even Sonic. After all, when was the last time he has seen a literal snake wearing any clothing?

The latter though, being Minerva, also had his attention. As he blushed at the thought of what choice of outfit that she wore, before they set foot in the jungle.


*Flashback*

"Okay everyone! If we're all dressed up now, show us your clothing choice, then we're getting this show on the road!" Amy called out.

The whole gang was wearing new attires that matched the location that they were going to, as they were about to exit Amy's ship. With Penelope piloting the ship again.

Sonic changed into similar a similar safari outfit. While Shahra remained in her current outfit since she didn't need to change it. She is a demi Genie that can go back in her ring after all.

While the dancers, and the other females were in their respective clothing, like the aforementioned safari outfits, and the jungle girl outfits.

Each of which for the latter, looked quite good on them, looking like cheetah, panther, and leopard printed two-piece jungle bikinis that looked modest on both the top and bottom, since the top hid some of their cleavage, while the bottoms were upper knee length miniskirts. With Liz, and Erza wearing panther bikinis, while Madonna, Sonika, and Belleza wearing cheetah bikinis, while Holli was wearing a leopard bikini.

The bikinis were complimented by the dancers, and the princess herself. Not to mention Penelope, who was the designer for them. With them saying that they definitely look nice on them. Much to their delight, as they did take a shine to wanting to wear them when they learned that they're going to a jungle.

Particularly Minerva Mink. Whom, when she came out, ended up showing off the different kind of jungle bikini that she wore. Being a V bikini that was also leopard printed, and it was also pretty skimpy to where it was leaving little to the imagination, since it showed a lot of her shapely body, while leaving only her private bits covered, particularly her nipples. Nevertheless, Sonic was surprised to see such a suit on her. As was Shahra.

"Wow Minerva, that bikini suits you!" Amy said, praising her bikini. With her dancers in agreement.

She grinned at the compliment. "Why thank you. I thought it'd look nice on me, when we go on a journey in the jungle." She said, obviously liking the compliment. "What do you think Sonic?" She then asked him, curious on his own opinion of her bikini.

Which had him blushing at the question that she asked him. "Uh… y-you look q-quite good in that." He said, admitting that he'd be lying if he said that she didn't look good in the bikini, let alone in other skimpy clothing. He just hopes that Amy isn't going to get jealous.

Whether she was, or not, she didn't show it as Minerva grinned at him in approval as she posed for him and the other dancers.


*Present*

That bikini was currently being worn by Minerva as they journey through the jungle, as she was already swinging on the vine, doing the Tarzan yell as she was the lookout for any dangers in the jungle that they could face. Not caring that she was showing off the bikini, as well as how pretty exposing it is with zero shame.

Sonic admits, if Amy were to wear that bikini, he would've thought that she would look sexy in that, too. He just hopes that Amy won't hear him say that. Or she could, and she could end up having a duplicate to wear, just for him. While she could also act slutty for him, which would mean that his romance with her would be easier, and it would hopefully mean that his marriage with the Princess wouldn't be difficult once he gets there. And that would mean that his journey back to Mobius would end in success, without many problems.

But for now, he was in the jungle with them, as he watched Minerva swinging on the vines. He was embarrassed that he was ogling her in her current bikini. And he felt that it was noticed by the dancers, and Amy.

If they did, then he hoped that they don't mind that as they were walking around through the jungle path until Minerva came back down to meet them, still smiling like she was happy to be here.

"Have you found any dangerous dinos, or the ring?" Amy asked Minerva.

She shook her head. "Nope. I found neither. Which is good for the former since we are safe here. But for the latter, I'm afraid it's going to take a bit long." Minerva said, briefly feeling somber.

Amy was annoyed at the latter, but relieved for the former. They weren't in a good place to fight back if one appeared. Particularly a T-rex. "In that case, we should be sure to split up into two groups. You, Krystal, Shahra, Loona, Sonika, Dawn, Vanilla, Chell, Ralsei, Belleza, Jessica, Holly, Hertia, Nagini and I, shall follow Sonic. The rest of you shall follow Foxina, and Renamon. And we shall hopefully meet up near an oasis. Got it?" She announced.

The whole group nodded, before they obeyed after saying that they hope to meet up soon. Particularly Carmelita, Krystal, Hertia, and Galaxina. Then, they split up into separate paths in the jungle.

With Minerva continuing to scout ahead, swinging on vines while doing the yell. All while they followed along with her, either on the ground, or at least in Dawn, Hertia, Chell, and Bagi's case, by swinging on the vines along with her. Leaving the rest of Sonic's group walking on the ground. Or in Nagini's case, wrapped around Amy. Having been shrunk a little to fit around Amy's frame without slowing her down.

"Is there a reason why she's acting like a jungle girl, as well?" He asked Krystal.

Whom was slightly blushing. "Let's just say, she's quite a fan of Tarzan. She even hoped that she could go on a journey in a jungle sometime, if so that she can see how it feels to be like him." Krystal said.

Sonic wasn't too surprised that the Tarzan story exists, despite being in Ancient Egypt. Likely another case of anachronism happening. "Then she seems certainly excited to be here. But why is she wearing that V suit? Is she unashamed of wearing that in a place like this?"

She nodded. "Indeed. She could wear quite a number of naughty clothes that are exposing. She just rolls like that." Krystal said, casually.

Sonic blushed, yet inwardly shrugged, feeling that Minerva is just having fun here as they continue onwards into the jungle, continuing to look around, and ensure that if they meet a Dino, they may meet a friendly one. Like a single Triceratops, a Gallimimus, a Parasaurolophus or even a Ankylosaurus.

Or at least a Velociraptor that isn't hungry for food at the moment they meet one, showing that it is a friendly beast.

While they walked around, Amy made conversation with Vanilla.

"So you're a dancer for the Moulin Cortex, the club that Sonic works at, are you not? How does it feel to be such?" Amy asked curiously.

"It was fun." Vanilla said casually. "Sure, there's the risk of the more perverted folk of the club trying to get into my panties, plus the fact that my daughter is also dancing for them. But the bouncers are quite competent. Especially Sonic himself. None of them were even able to touch us."

Amy was relieved, already finding a good friend in the mother rabbit from Sonic's club, concerning her motherly aura and her friendly personality. Not to mention hearing her mention that she has a daughter to her, back in the ship. So, she was happy to see that Vanilla hasn't gotten the bad luck of suffering from the downside of being a dancer in the Moulin Cortex, being that there would be men that would lust for her.

Which is what the Royal Dancers suffers from too, which was why they were given veils to wear as they dance for the crowd, so that they won't have their faces being recognized by anyone that visits the palace and would end up causing a ruckus in trying to get into their panties, forcing them to get kicked out by the guards. Not only that, but they do end up having some guards nearby to deter those types of folks. Even though they also got some self-defense lessons too. So that they could fight well against the pervs. Even though Krystal was already able to fight even before them.

"What is your daughter like, by the way? Is she nice?" Amy asked, curious about Cream.

"Oh, she's indeed nice. Even though she's timid. But I know she can be brave if the situation calls for it." Vanilla responded. Remembering seeing her daughter assist her friends, particularly Tails.

"Well, I hope to meet her someday, when I get back to the Moulin Cortex." Amy said, hoping to find a friend in Cream. Maybe even have a sisterly figure with her.

As would Vanilla. Who likewise feels that even this world's Amy would make a nice sister figure for Cream as well. Even if this version could also end up chasing Sonic around as well, among other things. Which had her amused at the thought of the sight, even if she feels bad for Sonic. But she feels that Sonic will eventually come around and find love with her.

"Have you protected your daughter though? Or did the bouncers do their job well?" Amy asked.

"The latter." Vanilla replied with relief. "Particularly Sonic. Even though he's a treasure hunter, he is great fighter himself, if push comes to shove."

Amy was proud to hear that. Seeing how protective Sonic can be for the dancers of the Moulin Cortex. Speaking of… "Changing the subject, where did the name Moulin Cortex come from?"

Vanilla was pensive at that. Sure she still remembers her life in Egypt prior to Sonic helping her give her back her memories, but she was also wondering where the name Cortex comes from, even though Tawna is the owner. "I suppose the club was founded by a guy named Cortex. Who might be dead, or just somewhere else. And now, Tawna runs the club herself. While Dawn, that Bandicoot that is swinging with Minerva, is her twin sister who dances for the club."

Amy was surprised at that, and the mention of Cortex probably being a friend of theirs. "And I'm guessing that Tawna, and Dawn is a friend of his?" Amy asked curiously.

"Maybe. I better ask her, next time we're at the club." Vanilla responded. "Or to rephrase, 'we' better ask her, next time we're at the club." She said, referring to Sonic, Shahra, and herself.

Amy took her word for it as they continued to follow Minerva, and Dawn through the jungle, searching for the ring that Shahra said, was in the jungle.

Whom, was still by Sonic's side as they continued onwards. Which made her happy that she wasn't told to go with the other group by the Princess. Since she was fond of being with Sonic. She is his companion after all. And she'd be there to ensure that Sonic isn't going to get hurt, especially while in front of the Princess.

Getting hurt, was also not on Sonic's list of priorities either. He instead prioritized having a great adventure that will hopefully end in him finding a way back to Mobius with all of his friends okay, and unharmed. And maybe he'd also have fun along the way, with either her, the Princess, or the dancers of the Moulin Cortex, or the Royal Dancers. Particularly the last part.

Sonic continued with Shahra, where he was jogging ahead of the group to follow the swinging individuals, particularly Dawn, and Minerva.

As he did that, he was also followed by Holly and Jessica. Both of whom, where flirtingly staring at him.

"So, Sonic. How did you like our show?" Jessica asked him.

"It was… alluring. I'd be lying if I said that it wasn't a pretty show you both have done with 'Agnes' on stage." Sonic said with a blush.

"Ooh. No surprise there. Considering how sexy they look. You pervert." Sonika said teasingly.

Sonic's blush deepened as both Holly, and Jessica were giggling at the teasing that Sonic's female self as done to him. "Thanks Sonika, for the teasing." He sarcastically said.

"No problem." She responded with a smile.

"Not that we have any problem with it. At least in your case. I hope that we can dance with you more, in the future." Jessica said with a smile.

"Especially if it involves us, and you in a private place, where we can truly show you our stuff, in a sexy way." Holly said.

"Indeed. I hope to feel you in my bosom once that time comes." Jessica then said.

"No, he's going to be in mine!" Holly then said to her.

"No! Mine! I saw him first-"

Before their bickering could continue though, they were past some cacti plants suddenly heard a rumbling sound, which had them looking around, wondering what it was. While Shahra was also looking around, looking nervously at their surroundings. When she looked behind them. "STAMPEDE! LOOKOUT!" She called out.

Sure enough, a stampede of dinosaurs was around which consisted of Triceratopses and Parasaurolophuses that was stampeding through the path that they were taking. Like they were spooked by something that was among them, and that had them stampeding through the path that they were taking, out of fear of what it was as they threatened to crush the whole group into dumbo toe jam.

Even Loona was looking in in horror at what was happening. "OH SHIT!" She was saying among their horrified yells, before they were running to follow Sonic and Sonika.

Sonic, and Sonika was quickly running ahead, with Amy and the rest of the group in tow, due to Amy's magic tether that lets them run as fast as Sonic so that they won't lose him. And now they were running away from the dinosaurs. While Nagini was protectively wrapped around Amy, as she too looked on in fear, hoping that Amy won't get crushed with herself too.

"Where in the world did they come from?" Sonika asked, wondering what caused the stampede.

None of the group knew how that happened. They just needed to get out of the path where the Dinosaurs were stampeding through. While little did they know, Erazor's minions caused the stampede by disguising themselves as some carnivores to sow chaos among the nearby herd of herbivores, while directing them towards Sonic's group.

And now the group was running as Sonic, and Sonika was leading the whole group to safety. They were both nervously wondering where the stampede came from. But they were mainly concerned with where they can lose them.

"Is there somewhere we can find safety from this stampede?!" Amy asked.

"There should be a bridge up ahead! I'm sure that we'll be safe on the other side!" Shahra said, looking up ahead of them as they ran, while she flew by them.

She was right. There was a bridge ahead of them made out of logs. That they all hoped, would end up being stable enough to hold them all up.

Only for Sonic to suddenly remember something that had him trying to speed up. "Wait! Isn't this where this bridge breaks because-"

They all make it to the bridge, only to suddenly end up seeing a large boulder that ended up getting dropped on it instead of what Sonic expected, being a large log on the nearby waterfall. Which was why even though he tried to avoid the bridge collapsing, he still fell downwards when it destroyed the bridge.

"WHOOOAAAA! NOOOOOOOO!" Both Sonika and Sonic screamed in unison as they were falling.

"WAAAAAHHHHH!" As were the dancers, the Princess, and entourage members in Loona, Blaze, Belleza and Ralsei, as they descended with them both when the bridge was broken while they were on it, or while some was unable to slow down soon enough, causing them to slip off of the cliff and into the gap where the bridge used to be. Which was due to Erazor's minions throwing the boulder onto the bridge to make it collapse in hopes that they could separate the blue hedgehog from the group with the water.

And now they were all falling, as Nagini kept herself protectively wrapped around Amy, hoping that she could protect her from the fall.

"OH NO! GUYS!" Shahra called out in horror, hoping to help them out. Then she saw the logs from the bridge that was falling too, which gave her an idea to use them as a raft by sticking them together as they descended. And soon, the logs were used as such for the dancers, Sonic, and Sonika as they were now surfing down the river stream like they were in a log jam ride.

"Whew! Good quick thinking Shahra!" Sonika appraisingly said to her. With Sonic also feeling glad that Shahra is his companion for this journey.

"Thank you, Shahra. I'm glad that you're Sonic's friend!" Amy said, also praising her along with the Royal Dancers, and the entourage members that was with them.

"Fucking A." Loona said, in agreement.

Shahra was happy to help, as she gave a bow to them. "Can't either of you swim though?" She asked Sonic, and Sonika.

The hedgehogs were pensive at that question. "I don't know if we can!" Sonic responded.

"I don't think that it'll do us any good though, considering the rapids that we're rafting around on!" Sonika added. While wondering if she could swim in more favorable conditions too.

After all, it is no secret that Sonic cannot swim, back on Mobius, nor Earth. He doesn't even feel fond of the water, because of that. Which was why he usually avoids going near any large body of water. And he feels, that the same could be said for Sonika. He wishes that he could remember more of his past in Egypt, if so he can see if he was able to swim in this World beforehand, and see if the same could be said for Sonika. Which if he did, then he would've been able to swim around in this jungle, at least in the more calmer waters. But as it stands, Sonic is still reluctant to test the waters, (So to speak) and see if he truly can swim here. Which is why, he was staying put on the raft.

As was Sonika, and the rest of the Royal Dancers, and Amy since the rapids looked like major trouble even for a swimmer. So they kept on the raft until they were sure that they were on more calmer waters.

As they rode on the raft, Sonic was leaning left and right, collecting a bunch of rings in the path of the stream that they were on. Sonic liked the rings since they saved his life whenever he got hurt. So he was collecting rings whenever they're in sight, alongside Sonika.

As did Amy. Who was magnetizing them towards herself, Sonika, and Sonic. Which was annoying for the latter, as he didn't need her help in getting them, since he was doing just fine enough in gathering them on his own.

"Hey Amy, don't think that I'm ungrateful for what you're doing, but please stop gathering them to me. I can get them myself." Sonic said.

Amy was annoyed at him, but obeyed, feeling that there would be more opportunities for her to help him. Like maybe when he gets kidnapped, for a change.


Back in Agrabah, in Erazor's room, the Eponymous demi-Genie was fuming at what he just witnessed.

He expected to have his minions try to force the group to separate with the dino stampede, and the bridge that he had his minions collapse with the boulder. That way, the water stream would've washed the group away, and separated them from each other. Which would mean that Sonic would be separating from them too, and that would be his opportunity to have his minions retrieve him, and put him in Agrabah, right where he wants him to be, which would lead to the cave being opened for him.

But instead, another female demi-Genie made a raft for the group.

And now he was sneering at the crystal ball that showed the group floating down the stream at fast speeds due to the current, while showing not a single sign of capsizing, and throwing the group into the raging rapids.

"No one told me that I would also have to deal with their own demi-Genie!" He yelled out. Much to Antoine, and Dulcy's fear. "No matter. There is still some dangers that they are going to face, while on the raft." He then said, seeing that the group isn't out of the woods just yet, as he continued to use his magic to impede their journey through the jungle.

Which included using his magic on the water, and the creatures that are within the water.


Back in the Dino Jungle, the group was continuing to ride on the makeshift raft, avoiding any rocks that tried to wreck it. Among other things that could do the same to it. Like sea dinosaurs, crocodiles, or sharks. Despite the unrealism on the latter, since sharks are mainly ocean dwelling creatures.

As the raft continued though, they all suddenly saw a bunch of sky minions that was trying to assault the girls, and Sonic, as they swooped in like eagles, and vultures.

"Watch out! They're going to try to yank us out of this raft!" Amy called out.

"Or, maybe they're trying to break this raft!" Carmelita said, ready for battle.

The girls defended themselves, with Carmelita shooting at them with her semi-auto crossbow, while Krystal also shot at them with her staff's magical fire blast bolts.

Sonic and Sonika was also using their homing attacks to defeat those enemies too, ensuring that none of them will swoop in, and take any of the girls, or the Princess.

Ralsei, also protected them well, with his green fire magic that he launched at the minions, too. With each of them falling to his green fire like suicidal moths to a campfire. Showing that despite his friendly aura, and looks, he is quite a competent sorcerer if push comes to shove. Something that Sonic, and Sonika was going to keep in mind, after seeing one of the minions getting roasted by his green fire.

And Nagini used her banshee shriek on the other minions as well, using the power of her snake's hissing screech to protect Amy as well.

The minions in the sky weren't the only ones though, as they were also assisted by some aquatic creatures that also tried to go after them, mainly Sonic and Sonika. But they also failed to even grab them before they got hurt by the dancers, all of whom were fighting them too.

The minions were being pushed back, yet they were still coming for them throughout the ride through the river.

Which, fortunately didn't last long, as the girls saw that the end of the river was near, as they were now going through a short cave, which led to a waterfall. Thankfully, Sonic and the group were able to jump off of the raft onto safe land. Now they were standing on some tall cactus plants that also acted as towering islands over the water, while they were flat, and harmless on the ground as they continued onwards with Sonic and Sonika, while they continued to defend each other from the minions.

They quickly saw a fork in the road that split in two. Before they chose the right, and jumped on the island to the right, where they then saw some spikey spheres that floated in the air. Before they fliped over, showing that there were bouncy springs underneath.

Sonic, and Sonika took that as their cue to jump on each of them to the other side of the gap, before Amy had the group jumping on them too, while in Ralsei's case, he floated over them without trouble. Before they continued onwards through the jungle.


The group were out of the cactus jungle, and was now in another section of the jungle, where there were normal trees that was around them. And it was so far, a safe place to be, as they were resting off their trek through the jungle that they took, to get away from the minions.

Now they were resting in the jungle's safe place, as they were waiting for some of the other group members to come to them, after Amy sent them the signal of where they currently are, to send to the members that was swinging through the trees, being Dawn, Chell, Minerva, and Bagi. That, and Amy learned of where they, and Minerva was, as they were planning to meet her at her location once they were rested.

Speaking of Dawn, the adventurous Bandicoot was swinging back to the group. "Hey guys! We've found something interesting. And it looks like some sort of ring that is on the ground."

The princess was instantly bracing herself for the good news, as was both Sonic and Shahra. "Is that the ring we were looking for?" Amy asked.

"It seems like it. Unfortunately, we found a corpse that was nearby. I'm thinking he tried to get to the ring when he died, likely to a trap. And not even Minerva was willing to touch it because of that thing. So, we might need someone that is unbothered by a dead body, to get it." Dawn said, somberly. "I'd do it myself, but I'm thinking that a trap is what killed that guy, and I'm weary that it might get sprung again."

"I'll go." Sonic said, feeling that he must get the ring, and see if it's what he believes it is. While he admits he has seen a dead body before, on his previous journeys. It was unpleasant to say the least, so he hopes that he'd see a skeleton when he gets there. "You coming, Shahra?"

"Indeed." Shahra said, bracing herself for seeing the corpse.

"I'm coming too." Krystal and Sonika said in unison, following Sonic to the place, while agreeing to meet the rest of the group near where Minerva should be. Soon, they were running to follow Sonic through the jungle, while the former was keeping her staff drawn, just in case she ends up meeting something unfriendly along the way.

Dawn on the other hand, was staying with the group, to direct them to where Minerva, Hertia, and Chell was, while telling Sonic, Sonika, Shahra, and Krystal where they could meet them once they get the ring. Which they kept in mind before separating.

Soon, they were now at the place that Dawn directed them to. Where sure enough, there was the ring. Along with the corpse, which was fortunately already a skeleton when they saw it. Which did leave them feeling somber for the unfortunate soul that lost his/her life in this jungle. But they were relieved that they weren't seeing a rotting dead body that was decomposing when they came along, which could've horrified them.

"That poor guy. I hope that he wasn't suffering in his final moments." Shahra said somberly.

As was Sonic, Sonika, and Krystal. As they all gave a little moment of silence for the poor soul that has died in the jungle. Before Sonic then paid attention to the ring that they were all looking for. Which was embedded into a nearby tree. Likely was put there by the guy, in his final moments, or was already embedded in the tree when the guy arrived to try to take it himself, when he died.

"Please brace yourself Sonic, there could be another trap that is nearby." Krystal said, not wanting Sonic to suffer the same fate. As did Sonika.

Sonic kept that in mind as he continued on cautiously towards the ring, while looking around for where the traps were, and bracing himself for the trap that could catch him off guard, before he can use his speed to escape to safety once the trap gets sprung. Which so far, wasn't happening as he was now preparing to dash his way to the ring to grab it, then zoom out before the traps could kill him.

Fortunately, there were none that was not sprung yet as he looked around, showing him that all of the traps were set off already. But he felt that there could be one trap left. So he was prepared to dash past the corpse, and to the ring.

Once he was ready…

*ZOOOM*

He was able to get to the ring, and back by Krystal, Shahra, and Sonika's side before a trap was sprung, which was a log trap, where a pair of logs tried to swing downwards, and crush his head in between them. It failed though, since the rope merely snapped in half due to his speed, and he was already on the other end of the trap, and back again before the logs could even graze him. And now he was safe with the ring in his hands, much to Krystal, Shahra, and Sonika's relief as they congratulated him for the ring.

Unfortunately, though, on closer inspection, Shahra quickly saw that it wasn't the ring that they were looking for in the jungle. "This isn't the Chaos Ring that we've found. It's a different magical ring." Shahra somberly said, feeling bummed out that she didn't see it sooner.

"Dang. I was hoping it was the ring that we were looking for." Sonika said, disappointed.

As was the others, as they were looking disappointed in their find, even though Krystal also wondered what sort of uses that the ring could have for them, like it could assist them in finding the Chaos Ring that they were looking for.

Or it could be like Shahra's ring, in that it could also have its own Demi Genie inside too.

It suddenly glowed when Sonic decided to rub it. Only it had a red glow to it, which continued to grow brighter as something was obviously being summoned from the ring. Which they all guessed, was a Demi Genie.

Sure enough, another Demi Genie got out. Only this one was different looking as she floated out of the ring, and onto the ground.

She was an Echidna, like Knuckles was. Only she was a peach-orange-furred anthropomorphic echidna girl with a peach muzzle, a small black nose, cobalt-blue eyes with two medium-length eyelashes on each one, dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of her head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail, and she wore a white tank top-like garment which revealed her midriff and a tribal skirt with beige, green, and red triangular patterns. She also wore a golden armlet on her right arm, a golden necklace and a tiara-like band atop her forehead, both of which were decorated with triangles and a light blue jewel in the center, and white gloves that are adorned with thick, cobalt-blue bracelets around her wrists, and she wore white-strapped sandals. She also wore white straps on her dreadlock-like spines.

Sonic, and by extension, Sonika, was starting to recognize this Echidna girl. Being the orb of light that followed him and his friends around during their journey to defeating the water-like enemy known as Chaos. And she was now here too. It seems like that Phantom Ruby was making no exceptions even for deceased folks like that Echidna ghost. Which he heard, was named Tikal, or something like that.

The Echidna was looking around, likely having slept, prior to being woken up, before she then looked at them. "Oh my! Finally, I'm found! Thank goodness." She said happily. "You have no idea how long that I was here in this jungle. And… wait, there's another Demi Genie like me?! I didn't think I'd meet one." She said, surprised at seeing Shahra.

"Neither have I." Shahra said, also surprised at meeting another Demi Genie. "I didn't think I'd meet someone like you during our journey."

"L-Likewise. Especially when I was close to losing hope that I could be found in this jungle, since there was no one that could find my ring here in the jungle." She spoke, somberly.

"You mean, you were here for a while?" Sonika asked in horror.

The Echidna nodded. "I was here for years, I'm afraid. All due to my companion's demise." She said somberly.

They wondered if the skeleton nearby, was her companion that unfortunately lost his life here. But they felt that they were better off not asking. For now at least, as they shuddered to think about how close they were to each other.

"I'm sorry that happened to you." Krystal said, already feeling bad for her.

"It's… okay. After all, at least I have new companions. You are my new companions that could get my ring out of this jungle, right?" She asked, hopefully.

"Of course we are. We can't leave you here." Krystal quickly said, with Sonic, Shahra, and Sonika in agreement.

That had the Echidna lady happy to hear that, as she was smiling at them. "Thanks. By the way, my name is Tikal." She said.

"Nice to meet you, Tikal. I'm Shahra. These are my friends, Sonic, Sonika, and Krystal." She spoke.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Sonika greeted.

"How do you do?" Krystal greeted with a bow.

"Why I'm fine, now that my ring is yours." Tikal said to Sonic, while returning her own bow to Krystal. "And thank you all for finding me. I was hoping to gain a new companion who could survive this jungle. Unlike my previous companions, unfortunately." She somberly said. "But now I want to ask, why are you all here?"

"We're looking for a ring. Which is different from the rings of the Demi Genies like yourself, as they are quite powerful rings, known as the Chaos Rings." Shahra responded.

"Chaos Ring?" Tikal asked. "As in, these are rings that has the power of Chaos in them?"

"Kinda. But they're more like Chaos Emeralds as they have powers of the Chaos Emeralds. Which-"

"And they are quite powerful objects, especially when gathered together." Shahra spoke, interrupting Sonic by mistake.

Tikal was fascinated at what she heard about them. "So they are like Dragon Balls of legend in that they could grant a wish?"

Sonic, and the others were pensive at that. As the former felt that they could do that, or they could give him near limitless power once he has all six, or as he mentioned to Tails back in the Moulin Cortex, they could direct him to the Phantom Ruby, or even summon it to him for use in a wish.

He hopes that the last one will be true, if so that he can undo the whole shebang that he was in, that involves being in Ancient Egypt.

"You could say that." Shahra decided to answer.

"Then may I follow you all? I hope that I can be of good help for you all in finding the Chaos Ring in this jungle." Tikal said, hopefully.

"Of course you can. I can't leave you to rot in this jungle." Sonic said, unwilling to leave Tikal here. She was a helpful spirit in stopping Chaos, after all. While Krystal, Sonika, and Shahra agreed with him.

Tikal was quite happy to hear that from Sonic, as she hugged him in gratitude. "Thank you, Sonic. I endeavor to help you well!" She spoke happily as she was now floating by his side, as his new companion.

It was settled. They have a new companion in Tikal, and Sonic was curious to see how well she could help them in finding the rings throughout the lands of Ancient Egypt, and beyond. And Sonic was sure, that it was going to be fun as they were about to return to the group.

"By the way, who were you following into this jungle?" Tikal asked, guessing that Sonic was returning to a group that he was with.

"Amy Rose. The Princess of Agrabah." Shahra responded.

Tikal's eyes widened in shock. "Princess Amy of Agrabah?! I've heard about her! What is she doing out here?! And why is she on this journey as well?!"

"Obviously so that she can use this journey, to get into his pants." Sonika teasingly said, much to Sonic's embarrassment.

"Actually, she thought that she could help me gather those rings together show that she's a helpful, and badass Princess that can take care of herself!" Sonic quickly said, before Tikal, and Krystal could laugh, or tease him too.

"Oh really?" Tikal asked with a teasing smile on her face, having heard Sonika. "And did she succeed?"

"So… so far, yes." Sonic spoke, feeling that he can work with this direction of where to take their conversation.

Even though the other four weren't convinced otherwise, as they knew that Sonic ultimately loves Amy too. He's just too shy to show it. So far at least. They just hoped that someday, he is going to eventually get bold enough to accept Amy's love, and maybe make love with her.

But for now, they were all on their way to the group, that they were sure, has reunited with the rest of them as they prepared to continue their search for the ring in the Jungle. Which if they were to hazard a guess, it could be in a temple in the jungle.

Shahra hoped that it could be, if it'll narrow their search down.


And done.

Here's another chapter for this fanfic. Where Sonic and the group is now searching for the next ring in the jungle full of dinosaurs, when they just came across Tikal from Sonic Adventure 1. I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter.

And there is something else that they're going to find in the next chapter. But I ain't going to say it just yet. But let's just say, it involves Krystal.

And another thing, they're about to meet another girl in the jungle. Whom spoiler alert is a batman Villainess. Just to bring another tribute to the late Kevin Conroy. Who she is, is pretty obvious, but again, I ain't going to say it yet. She'll appear in part 2.

Finally, one more thing.
