Chapter 2: Echidnas:
Longclaw's POV:
As I was walking, I was ambushed. "Echidnas," I said, "what do you want?"
"What your kind stole from us! You took the Master Emerald!"
"We only took it because it was beginning to corrupt all of you," I said, "we had no other choice!"
"It was ours! We created it when we were protecting the Galaxy!"
"I'm sorry, but we had to do it!"
The echidnas then came at me, and I was forced to fight back. I have been trained for this while Barnaby has wasted his time partying. I then spun like a tornado and rammed them like a torpedo. But the echidnas then pinned me down. Then something saved me.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes," I said, "who or what are you?"
"Doom, Black Doom." He then left.
That name does not sound very friendly. I then went back to what I was doing.
. . .
I then spoke to one of them. "You were pretty rude," I said.
"Sorry, but I was thinking, it's a party every night and maybe Barnaby should limit it."
"And who told you that," I asked.
"Actually, we all heard it from you."
"Oh," I said, "right."
"It wasn't your exact words, but I think it was close enough."
"You might be right," I said.
. . .
"This is my fault," I said, "I'm really sorry, Barnaby."
"It's alright, Longclaw," says Barnaby, there's nothing we can do... unless..."
