Absolute Chaotix, Part Fourteen
MAMMAL KOMBAT!
By Mello Bumblebee
The giant gold ring disappeared with a loud CLANG, and the five animals found themselves dripping onto the ancient and beautiful marble floors of the Hidden Palace--and not only that, but they were at the edge of the Master Emerald Chamber, the most secret place on the entire Island. The Master Emerald was a huge magical gem that not only kept the Island in the air, but kept all of its machinery running properly. It was incredibly valuable and incredibly powerful.
Which explained why Knuckles--from what the others had said, Sharon guessed he must be that red dude over there with the dreadlocks down past his shoulders--was so desperate to protect it from intruders.
Like that blue hedgehog.
Which he now appeared to be fighting to the death!
The hedgehog kept trying to ram into him with his back-spines, while Knuckles kept trying to glide into him--WAIT a minute, how did he do that without any wings?!--and slam into him from the air with his bizzarre spiked fists, from which he got his name, obviously.
"Whoops, guys, looks like Knuckles is busy. We'll have to wait a bit to get his help for Charmy," said Vector.
"I think we should step in and help him." declared Charmy.
"Nah," Mighty shrugged the idea off. "He can handle just about anyone, I say he can handle this miserable hedgehog by himself. Let's just wait. I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't be of much use to anybody right now, anyway. I'm dizzy, tired, and more than half-drowned. Let Knux take care of himself."
"HELLO?!" yelled Sharon, getting the attention of all three other conscious Chaotix. "There's a person DYING here! I say we don't wait for Knuckles at all--one way or the other--and just go looking for the medicine or whatever is supposed to be here on our own!"
The armadillo, male bee, and crocodile all looked at each other.
"Snoop around the Hidden Palace on our OWN?!" gasped Charmy.
"Without Knux's permission?" blinked Mighty.
Vector shook his large scaly head. "Not a good idea..."
CHOICES:
1. They interfere in the duel between Knuckles and the blue hedgehog.--OPEN.
2. They just sit there and wait to see what happens.
3. They decide to explore the Palace on their own, looking for the medical supplies Espio needs WITHOUT Knuckles' guidance or permission.--OPEN.
4. Something else happens...--OPEN.
