Mischief managed to get to the King Pyramid just before sunset. On his journey, 2 robot sand-worms had attempted to capture him, but he defeated them with ease.
Mischief: There ain’t no way you’re getting rid of me that easy.
He entered the pyramids’ sealed doors that had been broken down earlier. Maybe by Flash, or someone else.
As he walked in, the interior was a lot like the fairytales. Everything in there, bones and jars and such were covered in cobwebs, and the walls were carved with hieroglyphics.
Well that’s pretty much everything but the sand.
He continued along the destroyed path. Sure enough, Flash was the creator of this path, and he continued his running streak. He was angry with Mischief for judging him and he destroyed anything in his path, regardless of his lightning powers.
What a jerk! He doesn’t even know who I am!
Many of the pyramids pathways were blocked by rocks and sand. Flash had journeyed deep into the building and it became much darker. The only way to see would be either to find fire, or to use ora. It was a big risk, because Flash didn’t know what the chaos emerald locator looked like, and if he stepped into quicksand, then that was it.
Flash: Alright let’s do this.
He closed his eyes and the outlines of the wall started to come into focus. He walked briskly through the rooms and then jogged, which then became over confident running, until he ran out of ground.
What the? Am I being carried by a ghost?
He then opened his eyes and looked down to find…darkness…and nothing.
Flash: *scared* Holy shoot!
He closed his eyes in fright and the adrenaline started to build up inside of him. He opened his eyes in shock and noticed he was back on the ground.
Flash: Am I dead?
???: Yup
Flash: AH!
He almost fell to the bottomless pit again. He rapidly shifted his eyes in curiosity.
???: So you’re not gonna thank me.
Flash looked up to see Mischief’s smile grinning back at him. Flash looked back in front of him with an unimpressed look.
Flash: I see you’ve commandeered my hat.
Mischief: *laughs* Nothing gets by you. *offers hand*
Flash: *takes hand and grins* Thanks man.
Mischief: I’m sorry for what happened.
Flash: I said worse…I would be…honoured if you came with me on this…adventure.
Could I sound any cheesier?
Mischief: Oh well lemme just check the schedule. *Opens imaginary book* oh well I have a meeting with the sand but I guess I could cancel that.
Flash: You’re kidding right?
Mischief gave Flash his hat and continued to carefully treck through the chambers. They came to a “dead end”
Mischief: Oh for god’s sake! This is the 3rd dead end I’ve faced in this fucking pyramid.
Flash: *looks around* Calm down, this is where I could feel it and it is here.
Mischief: It?
Flash: The chaos emerald seeker, I can’t find the chaos emeralds by myself especially since I don’t have one. Problem is I don’t know where I can find it.
Mischief: Don’t expect to be spoon-fed everything on an adventure. You tell me where you think this thing is, using your ora, and I’ll do the rest.
Flash’s eyes lighted up at the idea and he closed them to try and find the emerald seeker. After about 40 seconds of looking, Flash opened his eyes and pointed to the south west of him. Mischief followed Flash’s finger and got ready.
After a little bit of stretching, Mischief used his claws to break down the pyramid wall. He had to be careful not to make the support of the pyramid give way. The seeker eventually was visible and Mischief came out of the dust cloud holding it.
Mischief: Did I break an ancient wall for this?
Flash: Yup, Now we better get out of here before Knuckles comes to find this.
Mischief: And where is this Knuckles?
Flash: Ever heard of Angel Island?
Mischief: Yes, as a child. I heard stories of it being a resting place for the echidna race in the war. But only as a myth.
Flash: Well that’s where we’re heading. So either way Knuckles will find out what’s happened here.
Mischief: That’s all very well, but isn’t Angel Island in the sky?
Flash: It is my friend. And the only way I can find out how this seeker works, is by going there and asking Knuckles…or Eykt. (NextGuardian)
Mischief: Eykt?
Flash: *waves it off* You’ll see when we get there. Right now we need to find a city, and then contract Knuckles.
Loved the "You've commandeered my hat!" part! lol!
