             There are seven girls in different parts of the universe. Each one of them has a special and unique power. Each of them controls one of the elements of nature – fire, water, air, earth, health, power and time. Each of the elements can’t live without the others. Also, there is this someone who wants to take those girls’ powers forcedly and use them to control the universe. That way no one could stop him. He would be invincible. That’s way my teammates and I want to find those girls first and prevent that from happening. That’s why I used the chaos emeralds – to locate them and see if they are fine for now. Since their powers will start growing and will reach their pick, only the chaos emeralds can extract them and only they can give them the one thing they lack – power stability. Once they unite they will become their elements. But it all depends of who will reach them first - that someone or us.

          So are you with me or not…”

-------------------------------
As Elektra finished her short story, she looked up at each one of them. She knew that all this ‘save the world’ thing seemed kind of déjà vu. But this was the real thing. No play time, no jokes, no taking it unseriously. She knew they would be silent and wouldn’t say a thing without a certain someone’s first say about it. This was so not right for her. Everyone should decide for himself and not rely on someone else’s choice. That was why she intended to ask first separately everyone. But alas she had no such luck. There was always this little moment where you would wish you had been a little quicker and had said it first. But no. Everything must go backfire…
“Well, it wouldn’t be the first time for me to save the world, so I say I’m in” said Sonic with pride. Oh, the way he was standing, the way he said it, the way he though so high of himself… just irritated Elektra almost to the limit.
“Okay, then I’ll say five things to you. First, you have the last voice, whether you’ll come or not, or let’s just say I say if you’ll go or not in the end. Second, don’t think so high of yourself, because I can guaranty you’ll be so broken in the end of this journey, that no one will recognize you. Third, you’re way too cocky to be left that way. Perhaps someone will have to bring you back to reality. Four, you would have never saved the world alone. You own most of the work to teamwork. And last but not least this is not ‘save the world’ business. It’s about the entire universe. Whether someone or rather something will exist after this. If you don’t realize this and stop playing a game, I have to leave you here despite a certain fact. So Rouge? You in or not” finished Elektra her cold lecture. Sonic just crossed his arms and looked away disappointed. Chris could only feel sorry of him…
“If you ask me, I won’t just stand here do nothing while everything goes away. If everything disappears, then what fun will it be to be a treasure hunter? I’m in.” Knuckles looked at her bewildered.
“The whole universe can be destroyed and all you can think of is jewels?! Speaking of which, since that guy wants to have those powers, he’ll need the emeralds as you said. I won’t let him have them! I’m in, as well.”
“Strange reason to fight, but you are the guardian of the Master Emerald. Anyone else?”
“I’ll go help too. We’ll have to do whatever we can to prevent this from happening no matter what, right Sonic?” Tails looked at his best friend to cheer him up a little.
“Don’t look at me. I’m the last in line. Whatever I say can and will be used against me…”
“That’s a good boy. So you can learn a trick or two about discipline” Elektra laughed as did the other six girls. Everyone already knew that from now on, she will pick only on him and no one else. She had the power, she had the way, and she would use that to the fullest.
“See what I mean…” Sonic was annoyed. Now perhaps nothing will bring up his pride as it was crushed.
“I would like to help in every way possible. I want to be in help of my friends” Cream said politely.
“We’ll most certainly need you” Elektra said quietly as she looked at Sonic once more. She had so little hope of this whole plan, but there was nothing she could do. Everything was already destined and could not be changed. Not only that, but most of it was already done. Things could not be brought back…no… they must NOT be brought back. It’ll be against the rules of time. Erasing some events could bring so much more problems that just trying to deal with the currant situation. Worry was written all over her face. She already knew how things will turn out to be…she just had seen so much of it… “Amy? Will you come or yes?” she asked jokingly. Amy smiled at this and then looked at Sonic.
“Only if Sonic comes along” her look was full of hope in contrast of that of Elektra. She just nodded as if accepting things as they are and said cheerfully.
“Alright then. It’s decided that everyone will come…even a certain cocky individual… Now. I already know you names, so do my girls. I’ll now present each one of us as it’s supposed to be done. I’m Elektra. I am the leader of my team.  This is Flamena or Flena in short. She is an expert in everything connected to seduction. After all she is the hottest one of us all. Next up is Aquamarine or Aqua in short. She is the most elegant of us all as she can do everything connected to dances. Here we have the specialist of animals and plants Ambrosia or Abby. She can tell everything about every mortal thing.  Skiller or just Sky is the best pilot we have. This here beauty is Lorene, Lorry in short. Don’t let looks deceive you. She is the best fighter we have. Virginia is like a nurse in the team. She can try and make an antidote or cure for anything of any type. Questions?”
“What about you? You haven’t told us your powers or skills.” pointed out Sonic.
“Great! Now that everything is clear, we can have some time to get to know each others. That way we can be more compatible during battles.“ Saying this she sat down on the grass with her legs on her left side, placing her weight on her right side. Placing her left hand on her hip, she looked at everyone as if to say to do the same. Then looked at Sonic and asked with a smile.
“Did you say something?”
“Yeah, I did. And I don’t mind asking it again…”
“I’ll just give you a tip. Do not ask for more information than you were given. If you want more, just investigate.”
“Um…may I ask something?”Everyone looked at Tails.
“Sure” answered Elektra. Sonic just crossed his arms. He wouldn’t doubt that he will be her favorite one to irritate.
“I was thinking. You were able to fight all of us six people and read our thoughts. How we would attack, where and why. Plus you would move objects and control the chaos emeralds plus the Master emerald. How could you have learnt all of this?”
“It takes time to learn and perfect. Lots and lots of trainings and I never stopped until it was enough.”
“Yeah but how many years could it have been. I mean you look not more than thirty years old?!”
“As I said before when you gave me that wonderful bracelet, you are so my favorite” she said as she pulled him in for a hug. “And even now you’re flattering me. But I have to say that I’m much older than that…”
“How much?! Thirty-one?!” asked Sonic mockingly.
“If you want me to be precise… three hundred and ninety-six.  Must say that being not more than thirty was such a compliment. The age is one of a girl’s most hidden issues.”
Everyone was baffled. How was this possible? How can she be this old and not look like a wreck?! Can she control her aging? Could it be that it is somewhat of a brain control and place an image far from the real one? But it looked way too real.
“So I must say that I have a lot of experience and be able to predict what will happen.”
“Can you really tell what will happen?” asked Rouge still not believing it.
“Let’s have an example. Why not Sonic. He seems like a wonderful piece worth of discussion. We know that he is cocky and self-centered…”
“NO I’m NOT!” Sonic protested.
“Oh, yes you are. When you’re talking, you put yourself as the one with the highest priority. Whatever you say or do will be connected to your own convenience. You think that if you let someone get close to you, they’ll be the main target and thus might get killed. You don’t what that to happen because of the guilt that you might have. But you still won’t quit what you do. And why? Because you like it and that way you can be something. If that is not being self-centered than what is?!”
Just then a huge robot came as it landed near them. As it landed the ground started to shake and the strong wind from its flying almost blew them away. This one was bigger from the last ones and it looked much more powerful. Everyone stood up into fighting position. Everyone without Elektra. She just stayed the way she was without even moving a muscle. Sonic took the front line. The way he felt about what she said was somewhat true. That was the main reason why he didn’t have many close friends. He didn’t want to be responsible if they were hurt. But whether it was because of his carefree character, he didn’t know.  He did this because there had to be someone to protect everyone. Not that he was almighty, but at least make a use of what he could – his speed. For him it was the ultimate thing you could have – the faster you are, the less possible it is to get attacked. Actually that was all he had. As long as he has this power, he would be invincible.
“Oho-ho-ho. I never though I’d hear someone else but me say what you just said. You are so my type of a girl. But for what you did earlier I’ll make sure you don’t have the time to even think about it.”
Eggman was the one that brought Sonic back to the real world. He had to fight him again. Only this time he had chosen to fight from a distance. The source of the voice was just a speaker on top of the robot. He must have really been afraid of being seduced by Elektra and the other girls. He had to admit it – it was scary in a way. Who knows what they could to you in such a situation. Elektra made a sign to her teammates to hold back and let the others fight.
“I want to see how they’ll fight. Just see what and how they’ll act. Believe it or not it’s very important.” Her green eyes were locked on all of the fighters. Amy was with her hammer in hand, Knuckles was ready for a direct attack as was Sonic. Rouge was in the air and looking for a weak spot and Cream and Tails just stayed back. Elektra was pleased by the formation they had made. Everyone had a part in the attack plan and would help each other. Sonic nodded towards Knuckles as he did as well. They attacked at the same time as Sonic ran down pass the robots legs and Knuckles attacked the middle. Rouge came out of nowhere as hit the machine’s head. The robot lost his balance but did not fall. Instead from its rounded form came twenty tentacles which hit back the three of them. They were sent flying back where Elektra was with the others. Amy stood in front ready to protect them. Sonic saw this and as he called her to stay back and not to do anything, she jumped out of the way of one of the tentacles, only to be greeted by several more. She was walking backwards trying to avoid every one of them by hitting it away from her. Sonic wanted to get up despite the fact that his whole body was aching. Fortunately when her hammer was removed from her hand, Cheese was thrown by Cream to avoid another tentacle to injure her. This time Sonic was able to get up and race to her before the following mechanical arm would grab her. Taking her near where Elektra was, he let her down there and before he ran of, warned her,
“Don’t interfere. It’s too dangerous for you to do anything.”
With that said, he was gone in a blue blur. Amy looked hurt but just gave up and said nothing. She really was too weak to do anything. She would just be a burden if things keep up the same paste. As she looked down, someone lifted up her chin to look in front of her.
“Never look away during a battle” it was Elektra.” No matter what happens, never lose concentration. The cost is great. Try long range attack.”
Amy looked at her surprised and didn’t know if this was right or not. Sonic told her to stay put and not to get involved in the battle. Does she want her to disobey him?!
“Something tells me that you’re not the one to take orders from him. You may be weak in his eyes, but you’re not. Now try long range attack. Throw your hammer at the robot. Wait for the right moment. You’ll have to be precise because that thing has all the chaos emeralds…”This got everyone around attention. If it has all the emeralds, then it will be hard to defeat it.  “I’ll give you two tips – you can summon more than one hammer at once. Second one – the bigger they are, the harder they fall.” With that said she gave Amy a wink and nodded as an approval to act.
Sonic and Knuckles were having a hard time just avoiding attacks. They didn’t even have the opportunity to even attack themselves. Rouge was trying to distract the thing so that the boys could have an opening. Not even one would come. There were just too many tentacles in total. Seeing this Elektra’s teammates went into action. Abby grabbed some needles in her hair that made a bun. There were enough there to spread around and as he had eight of them in her hands, she started to throw them at the robot. Each of them hitting a tentacle and exploded. Not all of the targets were destroyed but at least it was something. The other girls were held back again by their leader. There was no way she would let them interfere anymore. Sonic saw an opening when some of the tentacles were destroyed and raced towards the centre of the robot. An easy hit through it and it down… but not quite. As he was almost near it, a tentacle came towards him to prevent his attack from happening. He tried to stop before the impact and change course but a hammer flew deadly close to him and had a direct it. That right time had come and Amy made use of it. Before he could realize what had happened, he just raced away from the target. He was not supposed to do so, but apparently that mixed p his plans. He could’ve succeeded but… As he moved away, he turned around and yelled toward Amy,
“What are you doing?! Trying to kill me?!”
She just swallowed and looked away disappointed. He didn’t even thank her for saving him. She knew that he wouldn’t be able to avoid that hit. She just wanted to save him… Looking away was a mistake. A big one indeed. The robot was ordered to target her and the others around her and it did. As it buried its tentacles, they went underneath the ground towards them. The strong vibrations were enough prove for this. Elektra and her girls easily avoided that. But that didn’t go the same for Amy, Tails and Cream. Before they knew it, they were already in midair with the metal tentacles gripping tightly on them. The only thing that Sonic did was sign before he went to save a scared Tails. Rouge was only able to save Cream, as the robot was protecting its only hostage. Because of the emeralds inside of it, everyone could see how the destroyed parts of it had regenerated. Its grip hardened and Amy’s breathing became difficult. This made Elektra to come nearer to the robot without hesitation. She has seen enough of it. She knew most of the things she wanted to know. She looked at Sonic, who was just standing there and looking at it.
“What are you waiting for? An invitation?! Go there and help her!” Elektra ordered him.”No matter how long you stare at it, it won’t give up!”
Sonic just murmured something under his nose, but Elektra knew what he said. He ran towards the robot carefully looking for an opportunity. Instead he was even drown away from it from the tentacles. There was no way to avoid twenty of them at the same time plus having the emerald as power up. Elektra had had it. She moved slowly towards the thing and when she was greeted by its attacks, she moved one hand and froze them in their track. Moving her other hand she concentrated for a while. No one knew what she was up to or what she was doing. If she was trying to lift the robot in midair she would encounter some serious problems. Sonic was looking at her and couldn’t help but wonder if she could do anything about this situation, why did she wait up until now. Not only that, but ordered him to do something, and then just ignore him. Then something happened. Her hair was slowly rising up and her eyes to turn dull green. The robot started to turn into dust from its ends towards the middle. How she did it no one wanted to know. Was she that powerful to deal with that there was no way you can win against her?! She could read your thoughts and know what you’ll do before you even do it. Even if she skips the first one, she could manipulate you in the air and all you can do is be a slave to her will. But the last option is the worst of all. She could turn you into dust without even letting you feel anything. What the hell was she?! Was she one of those elements? That question was the only thing running trough everyone’s mind that moment. Now that all of the robotic parts were not nothing more than small dust, all that was left was Amy and the chaos emeralds floating in the air. When they landed safely to the ground, Amy was the first one to actually break the tempting silence.
“Thanks for the help…” She knew that she was guilty for interfering, but she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing when the others are in danger.
“No problem Amy. Any time” Elektra said with a smile.
“O…kay…can anyone tell me what happened?” demanded Sonic.
“It’s quite simple actually. There was a robot, it attacked, I stayed back to see whether you are good at it or not, and when I had what I needed decided to help. What’s so difficult to explain?”
“How did you turn that robot into dust for starters?!” asked this time a little irritated Sonic.
“As I said – I have telekinesis plus telepathy. The same way I can move objects I can segregate the smallest parts of it. I still can’t do it perfectly with living creatures… only metal and crystal. They have the easiest to break molecule structure…”
“You said you were testing us, right?”asked Tails. “Did we pass?”
“Well you had a great strategy, but no. You disappointed me…to be accurate – Sonic did.” She answered while moving her eyes until they landed on the blue hedgehog.
“What?! What did I do?!”
“When someone helps you, you’re supposed to make the fullest of it. Don’t make it go to a waste. When Amy threw her hammer, she saved you plus made an opening for you to attack. But no. You were just too surprised to do so. You have to be ready for anything and expect the unexpectable. Second you failed to save her. You failed to see that if you had went for her first, you could have saved Tails as well. She was the main target and if you had chosen her, you would’ve had time for Tails before the robot changes the order of priority. Seriously. Was it that hard to actually see through it all?!”
“Wait a minute. I told Amy not to interfere. If she didn’t, none of this would have happened!”
“You preferred to have been hit and seriously injured instead? She saved you, you save her. What’s the problem?”
“The problem is that I’m not supposed to save her every five minutes!!!”
Everyone was silent. No one said a word nor did even move. Amy just looked away to hide her pain, written all over her face. For her he was right. She really was a burden and would always be in his way. Not only that, but he would never appreciate her help no matter what she does. As she was still somewhat far from them and in a sitting position she hugged her legs and buried her head in her arms. She only wanted to be as much helpful as she could, but apparently she couldn’t. Elektra was even more disappointed in Sonic. Not only did he though of it that way, but he said it out loud…yelled it actually. She said nothing. Just looked down at the ground with a sign and shock her head lightly. Her teammates were so shocked by this reaction of his that they even stepped back a little with their hands covering their mouth. Eyes wide open and did not know what to think, let alone what to do. Knuckles and rouge did not approve of this at all. He really lacked manners plus he really needed to be brought back to reality. This was not a game. They all saw Elektra’s powers and could imagine what others could have in store. One day that character of his will get him killed for sure. Tails couldn’t believe that this had happened. Sonic had actually lost control and said stuff that he was not supposed to. Sure he knew that he didn’t really think that way of this situation, but what we say and what we do is different. Cream was holding her chao tight and was barely holding her tears. That was no way anyone should talk about their friends. No matter how angry you are. Sonic realized what he had said and the effect it had on the others. Before he could think of what he was supposed to say, Elektra looked up at him and said in a calm but annoyed voice,
“You have your power of the speed of sound, but do not know why you have it or how to make use of it. Sure, run around, have fun with it, but don’t play with it when things are serious. There is a great variety of powers out there. But there’s no such thing as ‘ultimate’ power. Each has its own purpose, strong point and weak point. Fight fire with fire is the best way if you do not know the weak point itself.  But if know the purpose, the weak and strong points of your power, you’ll be stronger, but never unstoppable. So I’ll give you a tip. ‘Time is a valuable thing. Save it as much as you can until it’s time for it to go on’. If you can riddle it before you actually need this in your advance, then I’ll admit that you really have grown up to the next level of experience.”
“What is that supposed to mean?!” asked an irritated Sonic.
“You were supposed to say ‘thanks’ for the tip, as well as for Amy’s help. But anyway you have to figure it out yourself. If you don’t… Let’s just say that it’s for your own best to solve it.”
“Che, whatever…” was the only thing the blue hedgehog murmured before he was gone in a blue light.
“He’ll understand it alright. I only hope it wouldn’t be before he looses that loved speed of his…”
“What do you mean ‘lose it’? will he be alright???” asked  Chris.
“You know what they say – you’ll never know how much you need it until you loose it…”
“Where are the emeralds? And where did Amy go!” asked a terrified Cream.
“Amy went home…it would be best if no one disturbs her until tomorrow. As for the emeralds, Eggman has them. All eight of them in total…” said Elektra calmly.
“What?! He stole them under our noses!!! Why that…”
“Not in front of Cream!” warned him Elektra.
“Great. Now what?” demanded Knuckles.
“Nothing much. Tomorrow we will be leaving. We’ll deal with him on our way. “ said Elektra as she started to walk of somewhere.
“Why are you so carefree about this?”
“We don’t have to worry about anything because we have the strongest card our possession” added Abby. “There’s no need to worry about anything. If everything goes according to plan, we will win for sure.”
“What do you mean by that?” wondered Tails.
“As you know there are seven girls that we are looking for” explained Flena. “Since one of them is on our team, who happened to be the strongest one of them and leader, there’s nothing to worry about.”
With that said, they all went of somewhere, leaving the ‘kids’ alone to play around.
“I’m betting that Elektra is that someone. She is on their team, she is old yet young, plus she said that she can tell the future.” announced Rouge.
“What’s there to be betting about? It’s clear, isn’t it?” laughed Knuckles as the two of them took of in separate directions. The same thing did Tails and Cream not long after that. Tomorrow they will begin their new journey to save the universe…

With Amy

Amy had closed herself in her room, lying on the bed under the blanket, hugging her pillow. She was crying silently to herself and thousands of thoughts were running through her head. She had never expected such treatment from the one she cared for so much. Did she do anything do deserve this? What was she supposed to do to make him feel better around her? It was like there was a wall between them and no matter how hard she would try to break it, it won’t disappear. And it seemed as if he didn’t want the wall to disappear. No matter what she does, she will always remain the untrusted one. Even if se ad told him anything, he would either laugh about it or not care a bit about it.
‘It was what he said. He doesn’t want to deal with saving me or even protecting me… How can I tell him? How can I confide my fear or that I’m in danger. He won’t care a bit if I do… he will ignore me and run of like he always does. It’s like Elektra said. All he needs is his speed and nothing else. He won’t be able to survive relying only on that power of his. I have to tell him, but… I’m afraid… I would never hesitate and tell him that I love him. I would even tell the world about it. But this… this is different. I can’t tell him…not now…I won’t tell anyone…’
This is the next chapter of my fan fic. Sorry for taking so long to update...but i...don't have an excuse ^^'

Next time Elektra will share what she thinks of Sonic and Amy being together. When that is done for, they will be presented their transportation. Tails is amazed as are the rest. What surprises await them, wait until you see.
