Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 7

''When we last left off, the Leaf Goddess, Seedra overheard an important conversation between Dr. Robotnik and Scorch, concerning EG-005, as well as the whereabouts of the next Elemental Chaos Ring, which happened to be at the Ice Cap Zone. Shortly after the two of them went their separate ways for the time being, Seedra began following Scorch, but decided to make a stop at Tails' Workshop in order to borrow his emerald detector. However, she was unable to, since he had already given it to the Chaotix team. Tails did, however, tell Seedra where she could find them, and then she quickly took off.''

''Realizing that it would probably take a while for her to get to the volcano and back, Seedra decided to head to the Ice Cap Zone instead, but unfortunately for her, she didn't know where it was. During her search, she ended up stumbling upon a Chao Garden that was located within the Mystic Ruins. While she was there, she found Mighty the Armadillo, Ray the Flying Squirrel, Honey the Cat, Tikal, and Chaos. After explaining the situation to them, all of them (except for Chaos, who didn't want to leave the Chao Garden unprotected) decided to join Seedra in the hunt for the Elemental Chaos Rings.''

''After leaving the Chao Garden, they bumped into the Chaotix and company, who just came back from Lava Reef after their skirmish with Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper and Bean the Dynamite. After Knuckles used Tails' emerald detector to track down the remaining six Chaos Rings, everyone agreed to split up into groups of two in order to speed up the searching process. However, since all of the location slots for the rings have been filled, Shadow, Squash, Omega, and Metal Sonic agreed to infiltrate Robotnik's base in order to destroy EG-005 before she has the chance to reach completion, as well as freeing Slush from her captivity within another dimension.''

''With that said, the search for the remaining rings is on! Which side will claim them first? The Chaotix and company or Robotnik and his associates? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

Meanwhile, at Station Square…

*The train stops, and then Ray and Seedra get off*

*Music Cue*

Ray: Alright, so it looks like we're here. Now we could start looking for that Elemental Chaos Ring, wherever it is.

Seedra: Yeah. According to Knuckles, it most likely landed at some place called "Casinopolis". Would you happen to know where that is, by any chance?

Ray: Well, I've heard of the place before, but have never actually been there myself. Although, I'm sure if we keep looking around the city, we'll eventually find it.

Seedra: Alright, then let's start looking right away. After all, Shock, Storm, and/or Metal Sonic 3.0 are probably over there right now, looking for the Chaos Ring themselves. Whatever it takes, we have to find it before they do!

Ray: Right!

''Wasting no more time, the two of them quickly jetted out of the train station and started sprinting through the city, in search of Casinopolis, where the next Elemental Chaos Ring was said to be. Meanwhile, somewhere nearby...''

*Music Cue*

Cream: Hmm? *Notices them* Hey, isn't that Mr. Ray and Miss Seedra over there? *Points*

Amy: *Looks* Yeah, you're right! That's them, but…doesn't it strike anybody else as odd that the two of them are here by themselves like this?

Big: Uhhh, what do you mean?

Amy: I'm saying that there's a chance that the two of them are probably on a date, of course!

Cream: Really? Are you sure?

Amy: I'm positive. Like I always say, I happen to have a sixth sense about this sort of thing, and it's never steered me wrong before!

Big: If you say so…

Amy: Aww, it's so romantic! *Waves to them* Yoo-hoo!

*Ray and Seedra come to a stop*

Cream: Hello! *Waves to them, too*

Cheese & Chocola: Chao, Chao! *They wave, too*

Ray: Oh, uh… Hi!

Big: Hey. How're ya doin'?

Seedra: Oh, we're fine. And yourselves?

Amy: We're doing pretty well. Say… You two wouldn't happen to be on a date now, would you?

Ray: …

W-WHAT!? N-No, not at all!

Seedra: Yes, exactly!

Amy: Are you sure? If you are, then it's nothing to be ashamed of, you know. Aww, I think you two are SO cute together!

Ray: R-Really, Amy! You've got the wrong idea! There's absolutely NOTHING going on between us!

Seedra: That's right! For starters, we're here on important business, and secondly, I already have my eye on…someone else.

Ray: Yeah. Me, too!

Amy: Oh, really? I'm sorry. I guess sometimes, even my sixth sense can be wrong on occasion. Boy, do I feel silly!

Ray: Don't worry about it.

Amy: So, what "important business" are you on, exactly?

Seedra: Well, you see, we're looking for something called an "Elemental Chaos Ring", and while Knuckles was using Tails' emerald detector, he said it landed somewhere in this city, and a place called "Casinopolis" was where it most likely ended up. Would you happen to know where that place is, by any chance?

Amy: I sure do! Follow me, and I'll lead you right to it!

Seedra: Okay, thank you. We appreciate the help.

Amy: No problem. *Turns to Cream and Big* I'll be right back, okay?

Cream: Okay.

Big: Okie dokey!

*Amy starts leading Ray and Seedra to Casinopolis*

*Music Cue*

Amy: By the way, I've been wondering…

Seedra: Yes, what is it?

Amy: These other people that you "have [your] eyes on"… Have you told them how you feel yet, if you don't mind me asking?

Ray: Uh, well, I, uh…

Seedra: It's…not that easy, I'm afraid.

Ray: Yeah, what she said.

Amy: Yes, I know… That kind of thing is never easy at first, but someday, I'm sure you'll eventually summon the courage to pull it off. Whoever it is you're pursuing, I wish you both the best of luck.

Ray: O-Oh, okay. Thanks.

Seedra: Yeah, that's…mighty generous of you.

Amy: You're most welcome. I'm always happy to help out when it comes to the subject of love!

*They get to the Casinopolis entrance shortly afterwards*

Amy: Well, here it is. I might not know the whole story concerning these "Element Rings" or whatever, but here's hoping things go well for you during your search.

Ray: Okay. Again, thanks. We appreciate the help.

Amy: Anytime. I'll see you two later, okay? *Walks away*

Seedra: *Waits until she's well out of sight* Ray, can you…keep a secret?

Ray: Sure, can you?

Seedra: Yeah, of course. Do you want to go first?

Ray: No, you can go ahead.

Seedra: Alright then. Remember when I said I had my eye on someone else? Well, what if I were to say that this "someone else"…is Sonic?

Ray: It is?

Seedra: Uh huh. Promise you won't tell Amy or Tiara about this, okay? Those two are crazy… They'll kill me if they find out!

Ray: Don't worry, I won't tell.

Seedra: Okay, good. Don't get me wrong, they ARE nice people and all, but there's just no denying the fact that they'd go ballistic if they knew about this. There's no guarantee that anything will ever happen between Sonic and I, but still… They would totally hate me for it.

Ray: I understand.

Seedra: So, what's your secret, exactly?

Ray: Heh heh, you're not gonna believe this, but the person that I have my eye on…is Amy.

Seedra: Wow, seriously!?

Ray: Yeah. Embarrassing, isn't it? You and Slush are the only ones I've ever [[Elemental Chaos Ending Part 1|told]. If this secret were to get out, then I'd definitely be a laughing stalk.

Seedra: I wouldn't say that, exactly. As far as I know, the only two who'd find that funny are Charmy and Marine.

Ray: I know. If they were to find out about it, they'd go around telling everybody, including Amy. That's why they're two of the last people who need to know about this.

Seedra: That's for sure. Sometime last week, Charmy almost blurted out to Sonic that I had a crush on him, and WHILE Amy was right there! Thankfully, everyone covered his mouth before he had the chance.

Ray: Oh, so THAT'S what he was about to say that one time?

Seedra: Yeah. -__-;;

…

In any case, why don't we go ahead and find that Elemental Chaos Ring before someone else does?

Ray: Good idea. At this point, it's best that we don't waste anymore time.

*They enter the building*

*Music Cue*

Ray: Wow, nice place, huh?

Seedra: Yeah. Let's take a look around, shall we?

''With that said, the two of them began looking around, searching for the Elemental Chaos Ring that was said to be in the area. While they were in the middle of their search, they ended up stumbling upon Metal Sonic Version 3.0, who was having a conversation with someone through a walkie-talkie.''

*Music Cue*

Ray: *Notices him* Oh, crud!

Seedra: What's the matter?

Ray: You see that robot over there? *Points* That's Metal Sonic 3.0, one of Dr. Nega's creations!

Seedra: So, THAT's Metal Sonic 3.0, huh? According to both Scorch and Slush, he's on the hunt for the Chaos Rings, too!

Ray: Oh, that's just GREAT.

…

Hey, I wonder who he's talking to? Why don't we hide for a bit and see what we could find out?

*They hide behind the corner*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Doctor, you said that the Elemental Chaos Ring is located within this city, correct? Well, you're going to have to be more specific. I just got finished searching thoroughly for it at Twinkle Park and a few other areas, but to no avail.

Robotnik: *Through the walkie-talkie* Hmm, let's see… *Checks his radar*

Metal Sonic 3.0: …

Seedra: That voice… It's Dr. Robotnik! So, the two of them really ARE on the same side after all! But…if he's Nega's creation, then what's he doing taking orders from someone else?

Ray: I don't have a clue. Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe Robotnik ended up reprogramming him, or something. I don't know the whole story behind it.

Robotnik: Ah, yes! I've found it! You said that your current location is Casinopolis, correct? Well, it'll definitely please you to know that you aren't very far from it! According to my readings, the Elemental Chaos Ring is located within an underground vault.

Metal Sonic 3.0: Underground vault…got it.

Robotnik: Huh!? What the…!?

Metal Sonic 3.0: Hmm? What's the problem?

Robotnik: *Checks the monitor* Well, well… It would appear as if a few uninvited guests have shown up at my base. It's none other than Shadow, Omega, Squash, and Metal Sonic. I wonder what they're doing here, exactly? I'll find out soon enough. Anyway, you go ahead and carry on with your search for that Elemental Chaos Ring. I'd recommend getting it as soon as possible, before anymore of those Chaotix fools catch on to it!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Yes, but before I begin, I have a favor to ask of you.

Robotnik: Alright, what is it?

Metal Sonic 3.0: If possible, would you mind telling your Badniks to leave Metal Sonic unharmed? I still have a score to settle with him. If anyone is going to have the pleasure of sending that obsolete scum to oblivion, then it's going to be me!

Robotnik: Very well. Perhaps I could simply turn him into a card or something, just as I did to Slush, and then bring him back to this dimension when you return. That way, you'll be able to exact your revenge.

Metal Sonic 3.0: Sounds reasonable enough. Anyway, the Chaos Ring is located within an underground vault, you said?

Robotnik: That's correct.

Metal Sonic 3.0: Understood. *Hangs up and puts the walkie-talkie away* Now, to infiltrate the underground vault. The sooner I find the Elemental Chaos Ring, the sooner I could even my score with Metal Sonic. This time, I'll prove which of us is TRULY the superior model, and it's none other than I!

*Music Cue*

Ray: Hold it right there, Three-Point Zero! *Comes from around the corner*

Seedra: *Does the same*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Hmm? *Turns around and looks at Ray* Wait, I recognize you… You're one of the bothersome insects who interfered with my battle against Metal Sonic a week ago! And you… *Looks toward Seedra* …You're EG-002, are you not?

Seedra: Yes, I am, but that's not the point. We're not letting you get your hands on that Chaos Ring, no matter what!

Ray: That's right!

Metal Sonic 3.0: Hmph. Fools. You don't stand a chance against me, so you'd best stand down.

Seedra: Who knows? We just might surprise you.

Metal Sonic 3.0: I have no time to deal with the likes of you. You might as well save yourselves the embarrassment by staying out of my way. That is, unless you would like me to kill you right now, where you stand!

Ray: Let's just see you try it, huh!? *Charges toward him*

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Holds out the palm of his hand and gets Ray caught in telekinesis*

*Music Cue*

Ray: Ghhhh…!

Seedra: Ray!

Ray: I…can't…budge!

Metal Sonic 3.0: *Tosses him into Seedra*

Ray: Uhhhhhh!

Seedra: Ahhhhhh! *Falls over*

Metal Sonic 3.0: Hmm hmm hmm! It's just as I said, you two aren't worth the effort. If you want to live, then I'd recommend staying right where you are. Stand in my way again, and I just MIGHT not be so merciful next time! *Turns on his jet booster and takes off*

Seedra: Ooh, why that pompous, arrogant piece of…! *Looks toward Ray* Are you alright?

Ray: Yeah, I'm fine. Come on, we've gotta go after him! *Runs off*

Seedra: Right! *Follows*

''After being successfully led to Casinopolis by Amy Rose, Ray and Seedra have run into more trouble than they expected. Will the two of them be able to successfully outmaneuver Metal Sonic Version 3.0 and obtain the Elemental Chaos Ring before he does? If so, will they be able to stand even the slightest chance of defeating him? Find out on the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''
