"Wait, Wyldfyre, bạn can't be serious!" Dakota says, worried.
"Chillax, Dakota. I got this," I say, turning around to face her. "I appreciate your concern, but remember, bạn can't always be there to save my butt hoặc fight my battles."
"But -- "
"Let 'im go, kid," John, the hedgehog guarding the gate to Princess Aimina's castle, states. "He's got a point, y'know."
"... Fine. Try not to get yourself killed."
"I'll try," I reply. I turn around and walk towards the castle.
As I try not to stress out, I can't help but think of what could go wrong during the fight. I could get my soul separated from my body. I could end up with my head several feet away from my body. My throat could get a hole in it. I could miss with my sword and slice off my own head.
I step up to the oversized double door, which opens automatically. I walk calmly into the grand hall. I whistle as I take in the large amount of portraits, supposedly of the past kings and queens of this castle, men on one side, women on the other. My whistle echoes.
I can't resist. "Kaboom," I say.
"Kaboom. Kaboom. Kaboom," the hall replies.
"Heh."
"Heh. Heh. Heh."
I walk across the hall. It takes me an giờ hoặc two, but finally, I find the doors to the rear courtyard.
"Movie experience tells me to go out these doors." I push the large wood double door open and see a girl with a white dress that looks like a white version of the dress Blaze would wear. She has a pair of... I'm positive those are blue pants. 101% positive. She's sitting on the edge of a rather elegant-looking fountain. A dark grey chó sói, sói lays down on a nearby hedge.
The girl appears somewhere around my age. She looks up from đang tải a glok 9 handgun. She smirks.
"Are bạn Princess Aimina?" I ask.
"Yes I am. bạn can just call me Aimina, though," she says.
"I take it bạn found out I was coming to fight you?"
"Yes."
I put my handgun away and grip the sword hilt with both hands. "Let's just get this over with. We can start with sword combat."
Aimina picks up her sword. It's made of steel, with a leather hilt. She swings at me, just barely missing my throat.
Talk about a close shave. I lung lay, swing my sword and make a small cut on Aimina's shoulder. She is unfazed.
BAM!
I go sliding across the courtyard and hit the doors. "Ngh..." is all I have to say.
From Dakota's perspective...
Sonic, Radioactive, John and I watch as Wyldfyre slams against the door with a loud wooden thud.
We're on the balcony just above, watching Aimina stalk towards him.
"Oh, my God, we need to help him!" I exclaim, cupping my hands over my mouth.
"Don't do it, kid. Could get seriously hurt. Ya have no idea what she's capable of," John says, his black lông, lông thú contrasting very sharply with his white chest fur.
"As true as that may be, I don't wanna see the results of what's about to happen."
"Dakota, Wyldfyre's job when he's not in combat is protecting us.
"Not the other way around," Radioactive says. "Confusing, I know."
From Wyldfyre's perspective...
I try to get up multiple times. As Silver would say, it's no use! As Aimina gets closer and closer, her sword dragging along the cobblestone path, my life flashes before my eyes.
All of a sudden, I get an adrenaline rush. I jump up and parkour up the wall.
I remember that I still have that Indigo Asteroid wisp. I jump off, going above some trees in the courtyard, and stomp. The moment my feet touch the ground, I yell, "ASTEROID!"
I become a miniature Saturn, but purplish. I di chuyển around, turning trees into cubes that are now part of my asteroid ring. I di chuyển towards Aimina, who flees.
I run out of Color Power.
We then battle with our súng for hours and hours on end, until we're both sweating and on our knees.
"You fight well. I'll tham gia bạn guys," Aimina says between breaths.
"How did bạn know we wanted bạn to tham gia us?" I ask as I gulp down oxygen.
"I could tell from the look in your eyes."
“Oh.”
And together, we walk through the double doors, the dark grey chó sói, sói trotting behind us.
