Fanfiction:The Goddess of Destruction Part 3

''When we last left off, the Chaotix Detective Agency (along with the Water Goddess, Splash, who happened to be with them at the time) got a call from Slush, who was apparently trapped in another dimension, which lied behind the card she was "turned into" by Dr. Nega's camera. From there, the Ice Goddess relayed a message to the group, saying that she had been captured, and informed them about Dr. Robotnik's master plan, which was to retrieve the seven Elemental Chaos Rings that he mistakenly created, so that he could use their powers to bring his deadly creation, EG-005 to life. Wasting no more time, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy Bee, Vector the Crocodile, and Splash hurried over to Tails' Workshop to borrow his detector, so that they could track down the seven rings before Robotnik does, and rescue Slush.''

''Unknown to them, their conversation was overheard by the two criminals, Nack the Weasel/Fang the Sniper and Bean the Dynamite, who've decided to join the hunt and claim the Elemental Chaos Rings themselves, so they could sell them for a price. Elsewhere, Knuckles and Wechnia, who were guarding the Master Emerald at the altar, happened to spot one of the Elemental Chaos Rings heading towards the volcano. Although they were unaware of what was happening at the time, they were merely curious about the Chaos Rings' newfound elemental powers, and decided to venture through the volcano to examine it further. Shortly after they found it, Scorch and Robotnik showed up to claim the trinket for themselves. Scorch told the two echidnas to "play it smart" by quietly handing the Chaos Ring to them, but Knuckles and Wechnia, knowing that Robotnik was up to no good, were unwilling to give it up without a fight. Which side will claim the Fire Element Ring and walk away the victor: Knuckles and Wechnia or Scorch and Robotnik? Find out in this exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''

Scorch: It's been too long since our last fight, wouldn't you say, Knuckles?

Knuckles: It hasn't been that long. It was only last month, you know. Or perhaps you're getting a little forgetful in your old age? *Smirks*

Scorch: WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

Robotnik: Now, now, Scorch, just calm down...

Scorch: *Ignores Robotnik* GRRR… I'll have you know that I look EXTRAORDINARILY good for someone my age! Yes, I may be nine thousand years old, but so what!? I haven't aged one BIT since then! I'm still as young and pretty as I was before, and that's never going to change! Someone like YOU wouldn't know true beauty if it bit straight in the-

Robotnik: ENOUGH! Just calm down! Do you want to cause another volcanic eruption like you did last month!? If that happens, then we'll be forced to retreat again, and your battle will never reach a true conclusion! It's either that, or we'll all get caught in the lava, and you'll kill us all! Is THAT what you want!? It may not have any effect on you, for obvious reasons, but have you taken Iblis into consideration? He's still trapped within the Fire Element Gem, you know! I don't think I even NEED to remind you what'll happen if the gem comes in contact with the magma!

Scorch: … *Sighs* I guess you have a point, Doctor. I'll do my best to remain calm.

Robotnik: There, that's better.

Wechnia: I'd hate to admit it, Knuckles, but Robotnik's right. Being the Goddess of Fire, her rage could very well cause this volcano to erupt. So, I don't think it would be wise to provoke her with anymore insults regarding her age.

Knuckles: Alright, point taken.

Scorch: Okay. Let's get this over with.

Robotnik: Hold on a second! Before you begin… Scorch, would you mind letting me hold on to the Fire Element Gem, just in case you fall into the lava? We don't want to risk having Iblis set free again.

Scorch: Sure thing, Dr. Robotnik. *Takes it off of her tiara and tosses it to him*

Robotnik: *Catches it* Alright, now you may begin!

Knuckles: Wechnia, leave this one to me. I can handle her on my own.

Wechnia: Very well.

''So then, the battle began. Scorch started by holding out the palm of her hand and launching fireballs at Knuckles, which he managed to dodge as he continued to get closer to the Fire Goddess. Eventually, he got close enough to land a punch, but she quickly grabbed his fist.''

*Music Cue*

Scorch: What, is that all? *Starts burning his fist as she holds on to it*

Knuckles: UHHHHHHH! *Swings his other one at her*

Scorch: *Does the same thing to that one*

Knuckles: GAAAH!

Scorch: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, come on… Surely, you can do better than this? Yes, I know… In addition to being exceptionally beautiful, I'm quite powerful, as well, but even so, you still put up a MUCH better fight than this last month. What happened? You're not going easy on me because I'm a girl, are you? I do remember hearing you say before that you "[took] no pleasure in fighting women".

Knuckles: You're right… I DON'T like to fight women, but I will if I have to! *Headbutts Scorch right in the face*

Scorch: UHHHHHH! *Falls backward and holds her face, losing her fiery grip on Knuckles' hands in the process*

Wechnia: Nice counterattack.

Knuckles: Thanks. *Starts blowing his hands to cool them off*

Robotnik: Are you alright, Scorch?

Scorch: Yeah, I'm fine. *Gets up and removes her hands from her face, revealing some blood around her nose* Hmph, you've got a hard head, I'll give you that. *Wipes the blood off* Well, that's about it for the warm-up. What do you say we stop playing around and get serious?

Knuckles: That's fine by me. *Fighting stance*

Scorch: *Same*

Robotnik: (Hmm… I wonder if there's a way for me to quietly sneak away with the Elemental Chaos Ring without Knuckles or Wechnia noticing? I just may give that a try as soon as I get the opportunity to do so…) *Starts sneaking over there*

Scorch: *Holds out the palm of her hand* Take…THIS! *Launches a fire wave at him*

Knuckles: *Dodges*

Scorch: *Continues shooting at him*

Knuckles: *Continues dodging and starts running toward her again*

Scorch: HAHAHAHAHAHA! What, this again? Have you already forgotten what happened a few minutes ago? *Launches another fire wave*

Knuckles: *Dodges that one, too* Knuckle Slam! *Pounds the ground and causes a slight vibration*

Scorch: W-What..!? *Struggles to keep her balance*

Knuckles: (NOW'S my chance!) *Punches Scorch as soon as he gets close enough to her*

Scorch: Uhhhhhhh! *Slides backward* Alright, now you've done it! *Surrounds her fists with fire and charges toward Knuckles* HAAAAAAH!

Knuckles: HAAAAAAH! *Charges toward her, too (with fire around his fist also)*

''*They continue throwing punches one another and their fists clash*

While the two of them were in the "heat" of battle, almost entirely unaware of their surroundings, Robotnik was starting to get closer and closer to the Fire Element Chaos Ring. Just in time before he had the chance to grab it, Wechnia, who caught on to what the doctor was doing, quickly grabbed his arm.''

Wechnia: Touch it, and I'll break your arm.

Robotnik: Is that so? HAHAHAHAHAHA… You just go ahead and try it! I'll gladly see to it that you suffer the same fate as Slu-

Scorch: *Quickly looks over there*

Robotnik: *Notices* …I mean, umm…some OTHER meddler that tried interfering with my plans about a week ago.

Scorch: (A…week ago? I wonder...) *Gets punched in the face after letting her guard down* Uhhhhhh!

Knuckles: Here's a friendly piece of advance: Always keep your eyes on your opponent.

Scorch: Hmph! Oh, shut up! I don't need any advice from you! *Punches him in the stomach*

Knuckles: Uhhhhhh! *Kneels down, regains his composure, and does the same to her*

Scorch: Ghhhhhh…! *Tackles Knuckles*

*A smoke cloud appears over them as they roll around the ground, fighting*

Wechnia: I have a few questions, Doctor. First of all, who is this "other meddler" that you speak of? Secondly, where did these mysterious new Chaos Rings come from, and why is it that you're after them?

Robotnik: I'm afraid that's classified information.

...

Hmm, but then again, I suppose I CAN answer your first question! *Takes out Dr. Nega's camera* You'll know for yourself as soon as you join her!

Wechnia: …!

Robotnik: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Aims the camera at him*

Just as Robotnik was getting ready to click the button, Wechnia quickly swung him by the arm and tossed him into the wall with so much force that it caused him to crash right through it.

Robotnik: UHHHHHHHHHH!

Wechnia: Hmph. *Picks up the Fire Ring and continues watching the fight* It looks as if those two are really going at it…

Elsewhere, outside of the volcano…

Vector: Here it is, boys…'n' Splash. Accordin' to the radar, one o' those Elemental Chaos Rings're somewhere in this volcano. Now, I just hope we'll be able to geddit wit'out gettin' burnt to a crisp…

Charmy: Hee hee, " bee able". Get it, Splash? *Snickers*

Splash: Yes, I most certainly do! *Giggles*

Espio: *Sweatdrops*

Vector: *Same* Splash, how is it that you still find those puns funny? Knuckles is right, y'know. You've heard 'em enough times for them to've gotten old by now!

Splash: I don't know. It's just as I said before… For some reason, they just never seem to get old to me.

…

Get it, Charmy? " Bee fore"? *Giggles again*

*Espio and Vector anime fall*

Charmy: Hee hee hee! You're funny, Splash! Really, REALLY funny!

Splash: Why, thank you!

Vector: For cryin' out loud, 'ja guys! Do ya wanna get those Chaos Rings 'n' save Slush, or not?

Splash: Right, of course. Come on, let's get going.

*They enter the volcano*

Bean: *Comes from the bushes* It's about TIME! Sheesh! Could those puns possibly get any lamer?

Nack: Ya got 'DAT right! I swear, if I hoid anuddah one o' 'dem puns, I was 'bout ta lose it!

Bean: Same here, but enough about that. What's the plan? We wait for them to find the Chaos Ring, and then steal it from them?

Nack: Yeah, but befo'ah 'den, I say we throw a smoke bomb at 'em 'r somethin' ta catch 'em off guard foist, and 'DEN swipe it!

Bean: Good idea! Also, why don't we try setting a trap for them, too, like we did last time? After we take the Chaos Ring from them, they'll most likely chase us for it, and during the chase, they'll end up falling RIGHT into our trap, just like before!

Nack: HAHAHAHAHA! As always, you're definitely speakin' my language! 'Dis time, though, let's diggit a lot closah ta our ride, so we'll be able ta make our getaway wit'out nobody interruptin' us!

Bean: Sounds good to me!

Nack: 'Dis time, 'dose Chaotix chumps ain't gonna know what hit 'em! Preddy soon, 'da two've us 'r' gonna be filthy, stinkin' RICH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Bean: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Inside the volcano…

Espio: So, what does the radar say about the Chaos Ring's location?

Vector: It says that we gotta keep movin' somewhere in 'DIS direction. *Points* As soon as we grab it, I say we get outta here 'n' FAST! All this vibratin' is makin' me feel a bit uneasy…

Espio: Indeed. This volcano could erupt at any given moment, so let's find it as quickly as we can.

Further into the volcano…

Knuckles: *Pins Scorch to the ground*

Scorch: Uhhhhh! *Surrounds herself with a fiery aura and knocks him away with a surge of energy*

Knuckles: WHOOOOOAAAH! *Gets blown backwards and falls to the ground*

Scorch: *Gets back up and dashes toward him* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... This time, you're mine! *Surrounds her fist with fire again and throws another punch at him while he's down*

Knuckles: *Rolls out of the way, causing her to punch through the ground and get her fist stuck*

Scorch: AUGH! Damn it!

Knuckles: *Stands up again and uppercuts her*

Scorch: Uhhhhhh! *Falls backwards and slides across the ground*

Wechnia: You're doing good, Knuckles! Just keep hanging in there! *Notices Robotnik sneaking up on him, trying to snatch the Elemental Chaos Ring* Don't EVEN think about it!

Robotnik: Very well then; I'll just turn you into a card! *Aims at Wechnia and presses the button*

Wechnia: *Jumps out of the way*

Robotnik: Curses! That was the last bit of film in the cartridge!

Knuckles: So, Scorch? Are you ready to give up yet?

Scorch: Not quite. *Stands up, surrounds herself with another fiery aura, and hovers into the air*

Knuckles: Huh? Now what?

Scorch: Try THIS on for size! Fire Spin… ATTACK!

''After hovering into the air, Scorch started spinning around until she literally turned into a fire tornado, and started launching a volley of fire blasts everywhere, which Knuckles, Wechnia, and even Robotnik had to dodge. As her blasts came in contact with the walls, the volcano began to cave in.''

Robotnik: Scorch, that's enough! You're making the volcano cave in! At this rate, you'll kill us all!

Scorch: *Stops* Oh, right. Sorry. Sometimes, I get a bit carried awa-

*A vibration occurs before she could finish the sentence*

Knuckles: I…think it's a bit too late now…

Wechnia: That's for certain. We'd better escape before the eruption starts!

Knuckles: Right! *Runs off*

Wechnia: *Same*

Scorch: *Runs toward Robotnik, grabs him by the arm, and takes off at the speed of a comet, going right past Knuckles and Wechnia*

Knuckles: You know, I've completely forgotten how fast she was, but enough about that! Let's take that Chaos Ring and get out of here while we still can!

*They take off*

Elsewhere…

Espio: The vibration… It's getting worse!

Charmy: What do we do!?

Vector: For now, I say we forget about the Chaos Ring 'n' scram! We could always come back for it!

Splash: Yes, that sounds like a plan! *Notices Scorch and Robotnik speeding by* Hmm? Is that-

Scorch: *Zooms right past them*

Splash: That was Scorch… I'm almost certain of it!

Charmy: That was!? That was so fast, I could barely see it!

Vector: You're right, but now's not the time ta worry about that! We've gotta get outta here as soon as possible, or else we're TOAST!

*They run off*

''Due to the intense battle that was taking place between Knuckles and Scorch, the volcano has begun to cave in! Will everyone be able to escape in time before they're caught in the volcanic eruption? If so, will they be able to prevent themselves from "falling" in Nack and Bean's trap on the way out? Find out in the next exciting chapter of Knuckles' Chaotix: Elements of Power, Episode 3: The Goddess of Destruction!''
