Posted by: Knuckles Feb 5 2010, 08:55 PM Knuckles looked out solemnly toward the field, or what was once a field before the metal menace showed up. He held his bleeding left hand watching as crimson drops fell to the now black earth. He sighed looking at the wreckage that had been lively only moments ago, now a wasteland of metal scraps , oil, and great amounts of mobian blood. Knuckles thought back. As he made his way toward the center of the vast expanse of black earth, the smell of metal and sweat had hit him like a hammer. As he got closer screams of pain and outrage filled the still, and heavy air. He had found the village, or what little was left of them. The mechanical psychos were celebrating it seemed. This drove Knuckles mad and he attacked the remaining monstrosities oblivious to their metal claws scratching at him. It seemed though that for every robot he smashed there was ten more replacing it. Knuckles shook away the memory, as guilt that he hadn't gotten here in time threatened to overwhelm his self control.He watched over the departed Mobians bodies, and bowed his head in respect to the brave, the heroic, and the fallen.

Posted by: Sonic Feb 5 2010, 09:52 PM Sonic's feet pounded out an unsettling rhythm on the charred earth under his feet, in contrast to the sickening slow pump of his heart. This couldn't be Mobius, it just couldn't be. It was like some kind of hellish nightmare, bearing little resemblance to the home that he loved. He picked up speed, as though by reaching a certain velocity he would be able to somehow warp things back to how they had used to be. He had yet to see a single living person, just twisted metal, ruins, and bodies, though thankfully so far no one he knew. The thought had no sooner crossed his mind, when his sharp eyes caught a familiar looking dreadlocked figure up ahead. Sonic hit he breaks, skidding a little as he almost collided with the echidna. "Knuckles!" He had the sudden urge to hug his friend, but that wasn't a particularly cool thing to do, so he resisted the urge. Instead he just gave him the biggest grin he could manage. "It's good to see your face, buddy." ((OOC: OMG - poor Knux sad.gif )) Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 6 2010, 06:32 PM Her figure was translucent, a ghostly visage seen by only those who cared to see something other than the massacre that stretched out in this once lush green landscape. The guardian stood with his head bowed, perhaps muttering a prayer for the poor departed souls. Her heart went out to him, and as if wishing to comfort him, an elegant hand raised, outstretched in his direction, before it fell once again to her side in defeat. He did not see her. No one did. Ruby colored eyes turned however. The person whome she was waiting for was approaching with a tell tale sonic boom. A sad little smile upturned her lips as the two friends reuntited. She simply waited a few yards away, observing until the moment was right to make herself known. After all, there was princess who couldn't hold out much longer in need of rescueing. (hope its okay to join the party, I didn't see 'private' on the topic so...) Posted by: Knuckles Feb 8 2010, 03:44 PM Knuckles turned hearing his name to come face to face with none other than Sonic. The widest grin was plastered on the hedgehogs face. Knuckles saw Sonic's lips move but for some reason the shock at seeing a living Mobian especially this particular one had unsettled him. He prayed it didn't show on his face, he had an image to maintain."Sonic...", Knuckles' voice sounded gruff and unused, and he swore it held astonishment. He shook his head, dreadlocks waving from side to side, before he glared at the hedgehog. Taking hold of Sonic's shoulders, shaking him hard. He snarled, "Where've you been, Mr Hero of Mobius?" ((OOC- Nah it's cool with me, I'm an easy going person anyway.)) ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Sonic Feb 8 2010, 07:43 PM Sonic didn't generally lose his temper easily. Most things he could take in his stride. But after a week going stir crazy on ARK, crash landing, almost drowning, and having more crazy handed to him than he could handle, he was feeling rather ticked off. He let Knuckles shake him for several seconds then he pushed the echidna away. “Where have I been?” he asked incredulously. “What do you mean where have I been? I've been right where you left me, dude.” He pointed skywards, indicating where he thought ARK was with a vague sweep of his hand. “On ARK. By myself!” He took a step backwards and folded his arms, his emerald eyes narrowing as he glared. “Then I get down here and find out we're apparently in orbit around Planet Hell, since this sure isn't the Mobius I remember. And there's this guy that says he knows me, except I've got no clue what he's on about, and then-” He stopped as he finally noticed the blood dripping down from Knuckles's hand. His eyes widened, and his anger evaporated as quickly as it had come. “You're bleeding,” he said, unnecessarily, his voice full of obvious concern. ((OOC- so sorry that took so long @_@ at a friend's house XD;; Celeste's turn now. Also, angry Sonic, lol.)) Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 8 2010, 08:02 PM Celeste watched the two sadly. Reunited, the two were swimming in a state of confusion and misinformation as vast as the sea where she dwelled. All the while the two were trying to sort this all out, she had been drawing closer. Her wrapped gown of pink fluttered a bit as she moved, her hair following the same motion. Her opaque form was easy to miss, but at this proximity, when she spoke, they would know what the source was. The apparition smiled warmly, her voice timidly calling, "The answers to your questions must be found on your own...but I would like to think I may help you take the next step in your quest." Her warm eyes moved from Sonic, to Knuckles, and then back again. Next would come their disbelief, the impossible to answers questions, and maybe even a shrill cry of trepedation. The two of these men were brave, however, and she hoped desperately that they might skip all that. Sally couldn't last much longer. Posted by: Knuckles Feb 8 2010, 08:20 PM Knuckles looked down to his hand, and muttered,"it's nothing." beginning to pull the now sticky glove off, exposing the two bone spikes that were naturally part of the male echidna anatomy. He tried to move his fingers, but winced and decided to let it hang. 'Okay, maybe it's not nothing.' he thought. In a hidden display of friendship, Knuckles began to try and move between the hedgehog and the horrific sight in the valley, just fifteen feet away. As to try and save Sonic from any more shock, after hearing what had transpired. Suddenly he felt a strange presence like that of the the Emeralds when ever he was near them. However, he shook his head again, telling himself that now wasn't the time for anything but reality. Knuckles opened his mouth, so as to explain to Sonic what he remembered about the ARK, up to the present when, he stopped. The presence was getting stronger. He turned his head in every direction, not caring if he was freaking Sonic out even more than he probably was. Then Knuckles heard a voice as clear as day, he turned to the source. His eyes widened as he took in the transparent being before him. Knuckles wasn't sure if he could take any more shocks today. ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 8 2010, 08:22 PM (((ooc- rping this makes me giddy, I only rped with Celeste one other time! It's so good to use her again, thank you so much guys!!!)) Posted by: Sonic Feb 8 2010, 08:57 PM Sonic raised an eyebrow at the echidna's reply. Nothing. It sure didn't look like nothing from where he was standing. He reached forwards, trying to grab Knuckles by the wrist and take a closer look at his wound, but before he could Knuckles had already turned away from him, and was looking around as if searching for something. Sonic frowned and followed his gaze, his frown deepening as he realised there was a third person there. A transparent person, with glowing ruby coloured eyes. Sonic blinked, rubbed his eyes and looked again. The ghost, if that's what it was, was still there. He opened his mouth to ask Knuckles if he could see it too, but he shut it again when she spoke. Her voice was clear and soft, like distant bells. Sonic instinctively stepped in front of Knuckles, holding out his arms to shield his friend from attack. He was injured after all. But the ghost didn't seem dangerous exactly. Still, it was better not to take chances. “Umm...” Sonic said. “What quest we talking about exactly, and who are you?” Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 8 2010, 09:23 PM It warmed every nook of her heart to see him step in front of his friend the way he did, so noble and selfless. Her every muscle relaxed and the sincerity of her smile deepened. How long had she wanted to speak with him, to Knuckles to all the others. "You needn't fear me, Sonic, and the guardian certainly need not." She held her hand out at them, an empty face up palm that held nothing, signifying she was unarmed, and came with only peace in her heart. "In answer of your second question, I am the White Spirit. The personification of the magical properties of Mobius and the fused personality of the source of this planets magics. I am known as many things, most commonly, the 'White Spirit'. But I have a name, and it is Celeste." She lowered her hand, a deep worry making her brow crease. "As for your first question, the quest I speak of is uniting the freedom fighters of Mobius, starting with yourselves, and rescuing the royal heir before Oblivion overtakes her soul." Celeste floated back a little ways, her face turning away in a very acute form of shame. "I apologise for not braving my face in this world sooner to find you, but there are very particular laws by which I adhere. Magic has rules, and likewise, so do I. I tried to contact the Guardian in the past but I'm afraid I was unsuccessful in my methods." (((OOC- I hope thats okay, I dunno if I like this post or not ^^; )) Posted by: Knuckles Feb 8 2010, 10:29 PM (that's okay... sorry I disappeared like that, I had to switch computers.) (( I know he may seem OOC but he's not...there has been times that he's opened up... seldom... but they're still there.)) Knuckles, who had been on edge, softened to the white spirit. She seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't place it. Knuckles gently laid a hand on Sonic's shoulder before moving around the hero to stand before the spirit."I have met you before, haven't I?" he asked, tilting his head in a questioning way. "I don't understand, white... Celeste, there are so few of us now, and the Princess has been gone for so long... how can we hope to do what you ask?" Knuckles sighed, then turned, facing the battlefield. "I don't think... I can't... what if... I mess up... if I don't get there in time to be of help..?" Knuckles looked back at the spirit sharply, trying to regain control of his emotions that threatened to overflow. He sighed, and looked to Sonic in a silent plea for help. He could feel the tears trying to break through, making his eyes look moist and red. "Sonic... I... I want to... but.. I don't think I'll be of any use to anyone... I tried to get here fast enough... but... I'm not you...as painful as it is to admit... I failed them." He said, turning his back away from the spirit and Sonic as his control finally broke away. Silent tears crept down his face, he couldn't let any one see him like this, even if Sonic was one of his best friends and somewhat rival. (((okay I hope that didn't sound too bad...or sappy.))) ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Sonic Feb 8 2010, 10:51 PM Perhaps it was just that his mind was already overloaded, but for some reason very little said in the conversation was making any sense. Spirits and guardians and magic and princesses. The words whirled around in his brain, blending together into an incomprehensible sludge. And Knuckles was... Knuckles was crying. Sonic raised his right arm and slowly and deliberately pinched himself. It hurt, which probably meant he wasn't dreaming after all. He shook his head, then patted Knuckles on the back. “Hey,” he said. “This doesn't sound like you at all. Course you'll be useful. I'm here now and we're stronger as a team. I'm getting that something really bad went down here, but I know you Knux, if you could have stopped it you would have right? So, I don't know, chill okay? We'll make it right.” He looked back at the White Spirit. “Okay, I'm having a really bad day, scratch that, a really bad week. So forgive me if I'm a little slower on the uptake than my usual self. But I have questions. Firstly, if you're the spirit of Mobian magic, what are you doing on this heinous planet? Secondly, have you see a little fox running around anywhere? Kinda yellowish orange, probably rambling about something that would take you to have an IQ of 300 to understand?” ((OOC – Sonic simply refuses to believe he's on Mobius lol. He's in denial! also I think Knux has the right to be upset after what he's been through lol.)) Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 8 2010, 11:02 PM Celeste watched the guardian, nodding when he remarked that they had met before. She had visited his dreams. They had spoken at such length, only for him to forget once his eyes opened. She knew the years of being in the middle of a battlefield had worn on him. He had lost many comrades, and now, seeing one back after so long... He was a stone that had let itself crack slightly. He needed a moment to compose himself, to vent out his frustrations and anger, and sorrow. Looking at Sonic, her face bewildered, she tried to tackle his questions, but knew in her heart there was little time left. "I'm afraid I have no time to explain." She came forward, and made a gesture to point to his forehead. "Recall Sonic. This IS Mobius, and by some horrible happening, three years went by while you were coming home. I wish I could humor you with more of an explaination but I'm afriad I must tell you why I am here." She swallowed. "Sally, Sonic.... The Princess is close to death under the tortures of a dark force named Oblivion." Pain crossed her face, desperation. "Please, if she is not rescued soon, she will die." Posted by: Knuckles Feb 9 2010, 12:59 AM Knuckles shook himself listening to both sonic's and celeste's words.'He's right...this isn't like me.' Knuckles shook himself again gaining some composure.when he heard about princess sally still being alive,but barely, he turned to face the two. Taking a slow deep breath,he nodded to himself."Celeste...why come to us now?" Knuckles pointed to the remains of the people he failed and the robots that had done away with them."Why now after all THIS have you come, I understand a lot for my age but...I can't understand this." Knuckles sighed,"In the end though I guess it doesn't matter, Sonic, I know I have a lot of explaining to do but...if what the spirit says is true then we don't have any time." Knuckles held out his good,still gloved, hand."Your right we work better as a team...what do you say 'hero' action now, questions later?" ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Sonic Feb 9 2010, 01:52 AM There was power behind Celeste's words, and as she pointed at him, everything faded and vanished. Sonic found himself standing alone in complete darkness. He blinked and looked around. “What the heck... What now?” Recall Sonic. This IS Mobius Bright light assaulted his eyes, and he raised his hands to shield them. When he lowered them he was indeed on Mobius, standing in a field that was most certainly Green Hill Zone. He was also in the middle of a battle. Desperate Mobians faced a horde of sleek robotic soldiers, that looked all too familiar. Sonic leapt into action. Or at least he attempted to, but his muscles were locked into place. He couldn't move, only watch as the Mobians were slaughtered. As the bright grass of his home ran red with blood. As the enemy dropped bombs that ended countless lives in seconds. That scorched the earth and blackened the sky. In three minutes he witnessed an entire three years of history. Then he was once more, standing next to Knuckles, the shimmering white figure of Celeste drifting infront of him. He was breathing hard, as though he'd just been sprinting, and his eyes were burning with unshed tears. He wiped at them quickly. If there was ever a time where he had to hold it together, this was it. People were counting on him. Then he realised what else Celeste had said, and the gravity of the situation hit him like a punch in the stomach. Everything else was pushed out of his head as she uttered a single name. Sally. Sonic felt his entire body tense, ready for action, though he still wasn't exactly sure what action to take. Knuckles was talking to him, and with great effort he forced himself to focus on the echidna's words. Hero action. Right. He slapped Knuckles's uninjured hand in a rather pathetic attempt of a high five, but it was the thought that counted. “Truer words never spoken,” he said, pleased at how upbeat his voice sounded. “There isn't a second to lose, we have a princess to save.” He turned and was halfway in motion before something very important occurred to him. “Wait, where exactly is this guy holding S- .... the princess?” He couldn't bring himself to say her name, not yet. Her life was at stake, and he couldn't let his emotions interfere. If he made a mistake... ((OOC - Rachel, either Celeste actually showed him all that, or he's having visions @_@ lol hope you don't mind. And awww he loveses Sal lmao <3)) Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 9 2010, 03:37 AM ((OOC- Actually Sonic, that was perfect! I want to show him visions, but I decided against it and deleted everything in favor of a simpler post XD So actually, you practically read my mind!! Fantastic! And the Sally bit did my oldschool lovin' heart good! )) They were composing themselves, gathering each other up with words of encouragement to face the task ahead. Though her face showed a smile, her heart was breaking. She'd been alone so long, seeing two friends interact with such familiarity made her, for a moment, pity herself and her lonely existence. Such self contempt had no place in this moment in time. Action had to be taken, and the first step was to get to Sally and get the leader back in action. She addressed Knuckles. "Guardian, I shall answer your questions, but I cannot now. I can only show you the way to the Sky Fortress where the Princess is prisoner." She bowed her head in a display of great humility. "I have failed you both in such a great way with my inaction. I can only hope you might forgive me." When her head rose again, fresh tears had dampened the fur beneath her eyes, which were still glassy with emotion. If only she could help them understand just how tied her hands were. How little she could do for them... "Please..." she whispered, her voice breaking meekly. "Forgive me." Posted by: Knuckles Feb 9 2010, 07:09 PM (I can't be on long today) Knuckles smiled slowly at Sonic's attempted high five. Then turned as Celeste apologized to them and told them where to find the princess. Knuckles noticed Sonic's hesitation at saying the princess' name aloud. 'Sonic still loves her it seems,' he thought. "I try when it comes to the truth...pal." Knuckles replied giving Sonic a smile that he hoped looked convincing, but came as a pained grimace, as he tried once more to move the fingers on his left hand. He ignored it and turned to the spirit. "Celeste, will you tell us how we are to get to this fortress? And who or what has the princess imprisoned?" Knuckles decided finding out the facts was more important at the moment than Sonic's love life. ((sorry it seems short but..I don't have alot of time today I hope it's alright.)) ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 9 2010, 09:31 PM Celeste nodded slowly, the gesture making her ghostly visage sway ever so slightly. "The Sky Fortress can only be reached by air." She began, looking towards the east, the direction they would have to go in order to reach it. "It is a few miles away, and is heavily guarded by robots. However, the largest obstacle will be overcoming Oblivion, the pawn of the Overlord. Oblivion has been torturing the Princess for information for the better part of three years. I'm afraid she has grown increasingly weak, and has been imprisoned within a stasis tube to keep her alive." She looked at them sadly. "I can't do much more to assist you I'm afraid, but if it may be of help to you, I can give you a blessing that will increase your abilities and make you stronger for a very short time, but that is all and it won't be much." Of course, Celestes definition of, 'it won't be much' is likely not the same as those she was addressing. She was so used to sitting in her solitude, that she was practically convinced that anything she could do to help would be minuscule at best. In reality, the 'alphemia crest' which she would implant on them, would make their abilities spike drastically. Their eyes would be opened and able to see great distances, their ears would become keen to the sounds of birds many miles away, and their already amazing talents, would easily double. The time it would last, however, would be less than a few minutes at a moment of their choosing. The ancient mark at first glance was a knot of endless twists and turns creating a loop that signified the endless circle of life on their planet. Death, birth, rebirth, and the perpetuated existence of one timeless magic. Scholars and those who had seen the crumbled temples of ancient times would recognise the marks from the walls surrounding sacred alters, where chaos emeralds or other relics had been found and worshipped for their supernatural properties. In anticipation of them accepting, a soft warm glow of green began to radiate from the minks throat. There, a small shard of a chaos emerald lay embedded. It was her link to the master emerald and the smaller emeralds. The fact she could tap into the power at all was a glimmer of hope that they indeed still existed and could be found. She reached out a hand to them with a soft welcoming smile. "You need only accept." ((OOC- I figured you wouldn't care if I go out of turn here because Sonic isn't on and Knux addressed Celeste. I figured it'd make things move along and avoid a bland post for poor Sonic <3 I hope that's alright guys!)) Posted by: Sonic Feb 9 2010, 10:36 PM ((OOC – Don’t worry about it SK, we understand. Besides the length was fine ^^ and course we don’t mind Rachel XD It makes more sense this way. Besides right now the inside of Sonic’s brain is basically just – omgomgomgomgOMG!!!!!!11111)) Sonic shifted on the spot. The need for action was building to the point were he could almost convince himself that staying still was actually painful. Sally was in danger. Why were they still just standing there?! Talking! He gritted his teeth, tried to concentrate on what was being said, then gave up and dashed off, a second later he was a blue blur on the horizon. Running helped. It made him feel less like he was going crazy. More in control. And he was in control, he reminded himself, what he has said to Knuckles was true. They would make it right. They always did. He shut his eyes briefly as he enjoyed the sensation of the wind in his spikes. Even if it did smell bad. He had heard some of what Celeste had said. But the words Sally and Torture in the same sentence wasn’t something he could cope with right now. He’d deal with it when he had too. He changed direction, speeding back to where Knuckles and Celeste stood and coming to a stop next to them. Knuckles was giving him an incredulous look. Sonic shrugged. “It’s okay now, I’m good,” he said. “As for getting onto the fortress,” he frowned. “If we had Tails and the Tornado it would be a snap, but it’s still up on ARK, and Tails is,” he shrugged. “I don’t know where Tails is.” He turned his attention back to Celeste, opening is mouth to ask her that very question, and his eyes widened. “What’s wrong with your neck?” he asked. Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 9 2010, 10:44 PM She had been startled when Sonic felt the need to dash off, and yet, it seemed like the most natural thing for him to do at the moment. When he had returned, when he stood before them once more, calmer, the glow of the emerald has encompased the trio in a radiating warmth. Celestes eyes began to fade away to pools of gold, much like the sheen of a power ring. "I am enhancing you." She explained, her voice somehow many all at once, yet all her own at different keys. It was melodious as she continued. "I advise you act swiftly. Knuckles may ride the upward wind currents that drift up from mount mobius to reach the fortress..." They would not have known, but what was speaking, the was the will of the master emerald. Her eyes began to fade back to the kind soft pink that as translucent white wings stretched out behind her. "You'll be faster, stronger, but only for a short time at the moment of your choosing. If you accept...pass your hand through mine." And with that, the white spirit could only wait. "Take it." Posted by: Knuckles Feb 11 2010, 04:14 PM Knuckles watched as Sonic sped off,'he'll never change' he thought. He closed his eyes briefly before opening them in time to give the returning hedgehog an incredulous look. Knuckles snorted at hearing Sonic tell them he was alright now. As Celeste continued speaking a warm green light began to surround the trio. After Celeste mentioned him riding the air currents on Mount Mobius to reach the fortress he couldn't help but think how much simpler it would've been with the young fox, Tails around. Knuckles returned his thoughts to the present. Even though he listened without hearing to the spirit's words. He understood what was being offered by her outstretched hands. As the light grew Knuckles could've sworn he was going crazy,as he began to hear what seemed like millions of voices but it was only Celeste who was speaking to them. Even when the light dimmed he still felt it around him. He didn't know why but he knew he had felt this before but couldn't remember when. He shook his head 'It doesn't matter' he thought before stretching out his good hand toward Celeste's. He took her offer,and passed his hand through hers. (ooc-Sorry I got snowed in I've snuck on to my dad's computer to do this so I may not be on later) ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. Posted by: Sonic Feb 12 2010, 12:00 AM ((OOC - *imagines Knux buried in the snow* lmao ^^)) Sonic starred at Celeste's out stretched hand dubiously. He wasn't really sure what she meant by 'enhancing' them, or how that explained was was wrong with her neck. He shook his head, his ears flattening slightly as a strange humming buzz filled them. Then Knuckles reached out, his hand phasing into Celeste's with a flash of bright sparks. Never one to wait around while others acted, Sonic immediately followed the Echidna's lead. It was a weird feeling. Celeste's hand felt like warm air, totally insubstantial. At the same time Sonic felt the tiredness that had been fogging his mind and his numberous aches and pains fading away. It wasn't like they were healed exactly, more that they just were no longer important. The green glow was getting brighter too, and Sonic shut his eyes. He felt strangely aware of everything, the beat of his heart, the air going in and out of his lungs, the solid presence of Knuckles beside him. At the same time he could feel the ground under his feet, the struggle for life as roots tired to push through the battered earth. It was like the entire planet had become an extension to his body. ((OOC - wow... sorry guys that post was a little sucky lol, forgive me? o.o)) Posted by: Celeste the White Spirit Feb 13 2010, 02:44 AM ((OOC- Sorry for the wait guys, Everythings been keeping me from this place the past two days. Thanks Sonic for being so uncharacteristically patient lmao! And your post was the perfect lead in to this one! Thank you too Knux!) Knuckles had been the first to act, his hand reaching out and moving through her own. Her heart leapt in her chest as it happened, leaving a longing ache in its wake. That had been the closest thing to touching another living thing that she had experienced in over a hundred years...It brought a tear to her eye that she quickly wiped away with her free hand. I wouldn't do to ruin the moment with being over-emotional. This wasn't about her. The master emerald and its younglings had been contacted, and through them, permission had been granted. It had to be of her own life and energy, from her own emerald, which suited her just fine. The touch from Knuckles registered as only a tingling in her palm and a moment after a sudden exhaustion of power from her own body, but it had been worth it beyond words! On the back of thier hands, the alphemnia crest burned subtly into thier skin, a link to the magics of mobius to be used at a moment of thier choosing. Sonic did so next, and he seemed more aware of the changes that were taking place within him. Tired, the glow faded, and Celeste stood tiredly as all returned to normal. "She's in the east wing of the fortress." She breathed as she began to fade away. "Best of luck, heros." Posted by: Sonic Feb 15 2010, 04:46 AM Sonic felt rather like Celeste had given him a bolt of adrenaline straight to the heart. His eyes snapped open, the green almost lost from sight, his pupils were so dilated. Everything around him seemed to be more vibrant, even the metal tinged air tasted better. He spun in a quick circle, trying to look everywhere at once. This really was Mobius, he could see that now. It was as though the destruction and dirt and general heinousness of it all was transparent, and he could see what lay beneath it. The planet needed him, he realised, to fix it. And right at that moment he didn't have a doubt in his mind that he could. Of course he could. He was Sonic the Hedgehog, wasn't he? Unable to stay still for a second longer he dashed off across the grass, loop-to-looping two trees, then jumping to a branch. It was a high branch, significantly higher than he could have jumped from the ground under normal circumstances. He laughed and shut his eyes, the cool breeze blowing across his face making him feel more alive than ever. Then he heard Knuckles calling his name and looked down. The echina was pointing to something and Sonic glanced up in that direction. It was a space ship, sleek and dark against the sunset. There was also a large plume of smoke coming from the back of it. Sonic watched as it streaked out of sight, then winced as he heard it crash. Something told him though that although the ship had crashed nearby, the pilot was elsewhere. This was obviously Celeste's guidance and Sonic didn't question him. “I think something is happening in Starlight City Zone,” he said, the name of the area just slipping out of his mouth, as though someone else had placed the words there. He jumped down from the tree and landed several feet in front of Knuckles. “Let's go check it out!” Without waiting for a reply he dashed of at a speed that would have surprised him, if he'd been thinking clearly enough to notice it, leaving Knuckles standing in his dust. ((OOC - Sonic ran away! He went to Starlight City, so Knux can catch up with him soon ^^, also Sonic is kinda high on the power Celeste gave him right now, so forgive his weirdness. He'll calm down and remember he needs to save Sal in a minute lol)) Posted by: Knuckles Feb 15 2010, 08:15 PM (sorry it took me so long...again....I GOT SNOWED IN...AGAIN!!!!!!!!...and it's like 9in. oh and sonic you wouldn't have to drag me....LOL) Knuckles could feel an immense amount of energy flowing through his body, his eyes were sharper as well as his other senses. 'Amazing...and Celeste calls this "a little"...I'd hate to see a lot.' Then without warning Knuckles turned at the smell of smoke and saw what appeared to be a ship flashing across the sky. "Oy! Blue! Don't you think we need to get going, besides it looks like we've got trouble!" Knuckles yelled pointing toward the falling craft,while trying to persuade the hyped up hedgehog to get his furry blue rear focused on saving the princess. Sonic came down alright, just to speed off toward the crash site saying something about 'Starlight City'? in passing. Knuckles stared as Sonic sped off, it was strange that even though he was already so far ahead knuckles' eyes could follow. Knuckles shook his head quickly realizing he was being left behind. 'Adrenaline junkie' Knuckles thought with a smirk. Knuckles took off at a jog trying to bring up some steam for a glide. After he was sure he had enough ground speed he jumped hoping to catch a thermal updraft and ride his way toward the direction he swore Sonic had gone. (hows 'at?) ((OOC - Admin Note - The above post was written when Knuckles was played by the awesome Scourgekito. |
