Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 4

''On the last chapter of Elements of Power, Knuckles and Wechnia encountered Scorch and Dr. Robotnik at the volcano, who were both bent on obtaining the Fire Element |Chaos Ring for themselves in order to successfully bring EG-005 to life. Knuckles and Scorch then engaged one another in combat, picking up where they left off in the first episode. The two of them fought a fierce battle that went on for quite some time, until the volcano eventually started to cave in. Not wanting to get themselves caught in the magma flow and/or risk Iblis getting released from his imprisonment in the Fire Element Gem again, Knuckles, Wechnia, Scorch, and Robotnik had no choice but to make their escape.''

''Meanwhile, Espio, Charmy, Vector, and Splash, who've been informed of the situation by Slush, were on their way to the volcano to begin their search for the Elemental Chaos Rings. Little did they know, however, that they were being followed by the two crooks, Nack/Fang and Bean, who were also on the hunt for the newly-created Elemental Chaos Rings. According to themselves, they intend to collect them all in order to sell them for a profit. The two of them also seem to have a surprise in store for the Chaotix when they exit the volcano.''

''Time is running out… With each second that goes by, the magma flow is rapidly approaching. Thanks to Scorch's super speed, she and Robotnik were able to make their escape. Espio, Charmy, Vector, and Splash weren't very far from the entrance, but Knuckles and Wechnia still have ways to go. Will the two echidnas be able to escape in time before they're reduced to volcanic ash? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

*Knuckles and Wechnia are running off, with some of the lava following them*

Knuckles: *Looks back* Oh, shoot! It's gaining on us! I think we'd better speed up!

Wechnia: Good idea, but first, maybe I should try doing something to slow it down a bit. *His gloves glow green* Chaos… FIST! *Pounds the ground*

After pounding the ground, Wechnia caused a slight tremor, causing lots of rocks and other debris to fall down and temporarily block the flow of the lava.

Knuckles: Good thinking, Wechnia! Now, why don't we go ahead and get out of here before it bursts through the rocks? *Runs off again*

Wechnia: I'm right behind you! *Runs off*

''Taking advantage of the opportunity, the two echidnas took off again, with all due speed. Thanks to Wechnia's method, more time was brought for him and Knuckles to get further to the exit. Eventually, as Knuckles predicted, the lava ended up bursting through the rocks, and and proceeded to go in their direction.''

Knuckles: We're almost…there! Just a little…further! *Notices Splash and the Chaotix* Hmm?

Vector: Knuckles, Wechnia! Whatta coincidence, bumpin' into you here!

Knuckles: It's nice to see you, too, but there isn't much time to talk right now! The lava…it's heading right this way!

Charmy: *Looks* Ahhhhh! He's right! There it is! *Points*

Splash: I think I have an idea!

Espio: What is it that you're planning to do?

Splash: Perhaps I could use my powers to push the lava back some more, in order to buy additional time for us to escape!

Wechnia: Good idea. Also, while you're busy holding it back with your hydro powers, I could use more debris to stop the lava flow, and keep it from following us we're exiting the volcano!

Vector: Sounds like a plan! I think I'll get in on this, too!

Knuckles: So will I.

Espio: Me, too.

Charmy: Me three!

Vector: A'ight, then let's get ta work!

''Just as the lava was rapidly approaching the group of the heroes, Splash quickly used her hydro powers to push it back, while Knuckles and Wechnia used the Knuckle Slam and Chaos Fist techniques to create earthquakes and make more debris rain down and block the lava's path. Espio, Charmy, and Vector, on the other hand, began moving pieces of debris and rubble towards the lava's path that were already in the surrounding area.''

Knuckles: Okay, I'd say that's about enough!

Vector: I agree! Let's go ahead 'n' scram while we still can!

*They take off until they eventually reach the exit and escape*

Knuckles: Whew… That was pretty close!

Vector: Yeah, I'll say! It looks like it's gonna be a while until we could go back in for the Elemental Chaos Ring, though…

Wechnia: Actually, I happen to have it right here. *Holds it up*

Vector: Ah, I see! I guess that DOES change a thing 'r' two now, doesn't it?

Espio: Indeed. So far, that's only one of them. We still have six more to find…

Knuckles: "Elemental" Chaos Rings, you said? That's exactly what Robotnik called them, too. Exactly what's going on, here, and how do you guys know about them?

*They explain the situation to Knuckles and Wechnia, just as they did to Tails, Heavy, and Bomb two parts ago*

Knuckles: W-WHAT!? Now THAT explains everything! No wonder he and Scorch were after them!

Wechnia: This also answers my question as to who this "other meddler" was that he spoke of earlier… It was Slush! Since Scorch was around at the time, that definitely explains why he cut himself off mid-speech…

Splash: Yeah. Robotnik won't be able to hide it from her forever, though. Maybe as soon as Scorch finds out, then she can finally stop associating with him!

Slush: *Through the walkie-talkie* Pffft. Knowing her, I highly… *Czzzzzt!* …Doubt that she will. *Czzzzt!* She seems to be… *Czzzzt!* …Completely obsessed… *Czzzzt!* …With "returning the favor" that she feels like she owes him. *Czzzzt!* Honestly, it's just… *Czzzzzt!* …As Amy, Ray, and that Boobowski girl said before… *Czzzzzt!* …It's almost… *Czzzzt!* …As if she's in love with the guy!

Knuckles: Now that you've brought that up again, Slush, you just may be right. At first, I thought it sounded kind of ridiculous when Amy said it, but then I remembered the way Scorch flipped out on us back at the Ice Cap Zone, when we were trying to tell her that Robotnik was using her.

Vector: Ah, yeah. I remember that, too.

Charmy: Ewwww… Gross!

Splash: My thoughts exactly, Charmy. I certainly hope that ISN'T the case…

Slush: Same here. I mean, honestly! What can she… *Czzzzt!* …Possibly SEE in him!?

Wechnia: Your guess is as good as mine, but let's not worry about that right now. Why don't we focus on trying to find the remaining six Elemental Chaos Rings?

Espio: Yes, we should. I don't think we could afford to waste anymore time, since Robotnik and his group are currently searching for them even now, as we speak. If we're to prevent EG-005 from coming to life, then we're going to need to track those Chaos Rings down before they do!

Vector: I'm definitely on board with what you're sayin'. Also, just in case EG-005 does end up comin' to life, then we might need all the help we could get. Say, by the way, has anybody seen Mighty, Tikal, Honey, or Seedra around anywhere?

Knuckles: No, I haven't seen them since we left the beach last week.

Charmy: Hee hee hee, I don't know where Seedra and Honey are, but knowing Mighty and Tikal, they're probably alone somewhere kissing, like Knuckles and Rouge were at the beach that one time! *Snickers*

*Everyone sweatdrops*

Knuckles: Oh, for crying out loud, Charmy! How many times are you gonna keep bringing that up!?

Charmy: It's too funny NOT to bring up!

Knuckles: If I were you, I wouldn't be so proud of all that spying you did, considering the fact that it was YOUR fault that we were in that entire mess with Mephiles!

Charmy: Was not!

Knuckles: Yes, it was!

Charmy: Nah uh! Dr. Nega's the one who brought him back, not me!

Knuckles: Maybe, but if it hadn't been for your antics last year, he would've STILL been in the Master Emerald, and we never would have had to deal with him again three other times!

Charmy: …

Splash: Now, now, just calm down, okay? Mephiles has already been taken care of, and at this point, there's no way we're ever going to see him again, so that's done and over with. There's no use in dwelling in the past… Can't we all just get along?

Knuckles: …

I guess you're right. In any case, why don't we go ahead and look for those Elemental Chaos Rings?

Vector: Sounds good to me. *Checks the radar* Accordin' to the detector, the rest of the Elemental Chaos Rings are-

Before Vector had the chance to finish his sentence, a bomb was suddenly tossed in front of them, with smoke pouring it of it, causing everyone's vision to get clouded.

*They cough*

Charmy: Ahhhh! I…can't see! *Coughs*

Bean: Heh heh heh! I'LL be taking THAT now! *Snatches the Fire Ring from Wechnia*

Wechnia: What the…!?

Nack: 'N' I'LL be takin' 'DIS! *Snatches the radar from Vector*

Knuckles: Those voices… It's Nack and Bean, isn't it!?

Nack: HAHAHAHA! 'Dat's right, chump! We'd love ta stay 'n' chat wit 'cha, but we've got cash ta make! Sayonara, suckas! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Runs off*

Bean: Yeah, later, losers! *Follows Nack*

Splash: Ooh, why those scheming lowlifes! THEY'RE after the Elemental Chaos Rings, too!?

Knuckles: I'll bet Robotnik hired them!

Vector: It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case! Those morons're ALWAYS makin' deals wit' people that can't be trusted!

Slush: If Robotnik… *Czzzzt!* Truly IS the one… *Czzzzt!* …Who hired them, then you've got… *Czzzzt!* …To get that ring back… *Czzzzt!* …At all costs!

Vector: Sure, just leave it ta us! Like I always say… Once we start a job, we finish the job! That's our policy! We're Team Chaotix! C'mon, you guys! Let's geddem!

Slush: Thanks… I'm counting on you guys!

''Wasting no more time, the heroes began their pursuit of Nack and Bean in an effort to reclaim the stolen Chaos Ring. As the Chaotix team chased after the two crooks, they had to dodge their bombs and bullets in the process.''

Bean: Here, have another taste of Dynamite Power! *Tosses a few more bombs*

Espio: *Tosses shurikens at the bombs, making them explode in midair*

Nack: HAHAHA! Yeah, 'dat's right! You just go ahead 'n' keep on followin' us, chumps! If ya dare!

Knuckles: What's THAT supposed to mean!?

Bean: You'll find out shortly!

''Eventually, as they kept running, they ended up coming across the area where the trap was set. Nack and Bean, not wanting to get caught in it themselves, decided to jump over the cleverly-disguised trench and began to make a break for the stolen police car that they used to get there. Splash and the Chaotix team, on the other hand, ended up falling right into it.''

Everyone: UHHHHHH!

Charmy: Owwww! Not again!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHA! Looks like ya fell RIGHT into our trap, JUST as I knew ya would!

Bean: Heh heh heh! I'll bet you weren't expecting THAT now, were you?

Nack: Now's 'da chance ta make our getaway in 'da car we stole from 'da cops earlia!

Espio: Resorting to stealing police cars now?

Nack: We ain't have a choice, since 'dat goilfriend o' yours decided ta blow up 'da Marvelous Queen last week! Speakin' of a which, she still owes me money for 'da repair costs 'n' whatnot!

Espio: …Honey is NOT my girlfriend!

Charmy: Suuuuurrreee she isn't! *Snickers*

Knuckles: Charmy, do us all a favor and shut up!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHA! We'd love ta stay 'n' chat wit' 'cha, but like I was sayin' before, we've got cash ta make! C'mon, Bean! Let's bus' outta 'dis joint!

Bean: Right!

''*They run off*

''Once again, the Chaotix had Tails' emerald detector stolen from them, as well as the Elemental Chaos Ring that they've worked so hard to get. To make matters worse, they have fallen into yet another trap, and Nack and Bean are on the verge of making their getaway. Will our heroes be able to climb their way out of the trench before the two crooks successfully make their escape? If not, will anyone else show up in the nick of time to block their path? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''
