Chapter 62 - The Next Guardian Issue # 62

“Saint John, have you lost it?” Ekyt yelled. This gave Kragok an opening for a hit from behind. Or it would have, if Ekyt hadn't flipped over him and tackled him in such a way he fell into Saint John. Sonic ran up. “Allow me to deal with this royal guard waste!” he said with a half-smile. “Geoff, old boy, you have no idea how long I've been waiting for a reason to do this!” The two fought it out.

In the back, Linda-Su and her half-sister, Lien-Da exchanged shots. Julie-Su came and cracked a Dark Legion member who was going to interfere.

Ekyt and Kragok circled. “Foolish mortal! Do you really think you handle the likes of me? I have been alive more than twice as long, and have studied under the best. This time, you have no chaos syphon to help you escape!” The two rushed each other at the same time.

Amy Rose ran toward the medical recovery center. She pushed past an irritated Doctor Quack and ran into Dmitri's room. She explained the story to him. “…So please, Mr. Dmitri, we need your help. The war is lost, even for you. Unless you help.” Amy let a few tears flow. Dmitri, who had been about to turn the thirteen year old away, felt his heart soften. “I will help, young hedgehog. But I am not fully recovered…”

Eden(Violet Rose), along with Shadow and Violet Rose (Violet Rose). She held the chaos emerald in her hand. “Ekyt gave me instructions to lend this to you.” Dmitri, who had lost his abilities after the chaos syphon exploded, looked on curiously. “The human trusts me with such a powerful tool? Very well.” Dmitri clutched the emerald and led the others on to the battle field.

Linda-Su fought her way out of a choke hold and bashed Lien-Da hard enough to send her spinning into a tree. She pulled out her pistol and shot a branch, causing it to fall and break over the evil echidna's head.

On the battlefield, Dmirti had single handedly taken care of most of the enemies. The emerald was shot from his grasp, only to be caught by Violet, who in turn passed it Shadow. He actually smiled as he shouted “Chaos Spear!”

The tide had turned. Bravery rushed through all the participants like no other force. Even Antoine had drawn his sword and had hacked his way over to help Bunnie. “Thanks Sugah! Ah owe yah!” “Eet was my pleasure, Mademoiselle Bunnie.” The two finished off their set of enemies before taking a rest.

Sonic had beaten Geoffrey all over. He dealt with interfering swatbots with Sonic spins, before finally finishing Geoffrey. Before Sonic got the last punch in, however, he took an arrow in the shoulder. Geoffrey had been defeated, but Sonic was wounded.

Ekyt and Kragok fought their way up a steep cliff. The echidna kept firing punches and kicks, but Ekyt blocked them all. He set off on his offense, backing the echidna up onto the ledge. Ekyt was thrown off.

But he didn't want to travel alone. He grabbed Kragok's leg as they both fell. Ekyt and Kragok both righted themselves, Ekyt using his coat and Kragok using his dreadlocks. They continued their fight in the air. Then Ekyt scored the winner with a leg sweep as Kragok fell into the trees below. Ekyt landed on the top of one, using it as a springboard back to the top. He rushed back toward the fray, briefly taking the time to strip off his shirt and tie it around the shoulder that Geoffrey St. John shot.

But Ekyt had done it this time. About 30 of what remained of the enemies had surrounded him. He took a fighting stance before an echidna pushed her way in.
“Linda, are you crazy? Escape, warn the others!” She shook her head. “Not his time, Ekyt. You've saved me more than once and I intent to return the favor!” “But you might be killed.” “If we die, we die together!” They stood, back to back, as the enemies rushed.

Ekyt took another beating, but Linda's words motivated him more. Ekyt finally had enough. He shrugged off his coat and tossed it to Linda. “Use the knives on the robots! I'll keep these clowns off your back!” She couldn't help but notice his back was perfect. Not now, dummy! Fanaticize later! She threw the knives, then fired her pistol, taking out the twenty-five robots.

One Dark Legion member slashed Ekyt across his bare chest with a knife. Ekyt had jumped back, but not far enough. He shrugged off the pain and continued the fight. It ended with him cracking an echidna under the chin with an uppercut.

Linda tossed him back his coat. “We've gotta get to that mountain!” he exclaimed to her as they both climbed on the bike. Ekyt noticed she held him tighter than she needed too. He tried not to blush, but he knew he failed. If she only knew what she means to me…
