Sonic Ring Bond: The Journey - Scene 19

As prompts have been pretty slim recently, I held a survey to determine what I would write for this scene. Is was a bit of an interesting outcome, and I hope everyone enjoys the results. So please, enjoy...

~I could really use Sonic’s help. He’d rescue me in no time.

~I could really use Mighty’s help. I’m sure he’s more than strong enough.

~Hm? What’s that? What am I talking about? Hehehe… well you see…~

“KYA~!”

Rosy screamed as a stone fist the size of a ten-story building crashed into the stone brick bridge she attempted to run across. The impact brought up massive waves of icy cold water and she was thrown high into the air where she was nearly lost within the flurry of snowflakes. “Stop picking on me!”

Afforded a fine view of the possessor of the giant fist, Rosy yelled at it and made herself an ample target where she was defenseless in the air. “Eep?”

What possessed the stone fist of such great size was a golem not unlike the ones Rosy had seen before. It was however the most massive one she had seen to date. Its ten story tall fists were but the end point of its arms that formed an arch like structure that served as most of the construct’s body. Like most golems possessed of a green gem to power it, this one lacked a head of any kind. The gem that powered it however was also massive. Unlike the ones that powered its lesser cousins and could be held between thumb and forefinger, this one was nearly the size of a three-story house itself. Rosy could sparse imagine how many Rings were used in the construct’s construction, no less the amount of vegetation that seemed to give the golems life.

Even with her speed though she did not have the time to ponder about it as the construct turned to strike her from the air. So massive an object striking her would be disastrous, even though the Rings she carried would absorb any direct physical harm she would endure. And they did, scattering as she was launched through the air like a cannon ball.

She barely had time to curl into a ball before colliding with a massive structure of stone bricks which she rebounded off and down into a barren courtyard. Recovering her Rings seemed impossible and she was soon traveling as fast as she could on the slick ice. This meant well below her speed of sound maximum, but staying still would be lethal regardless.

~So, what happened here? I really don’t know. I’ve been unlucky in finding clues to track down my friends, so I’ve still been following rumors. I need to stop that as it seems to be nothing but trouble for me. But how was I supposed to know that the giant statue out here was a golem. No one said so!

~Ah~ What am I saying. I thought it might be. I really did. It was kind of just blind hope that maybe Sonic had heard about it too and thought it was a giant golem. Really, I should have just stuck to believing that it was a curiosity that Mighty would want to see.

~It’d be nice if I could at least run away though. It’s freezing and It’s getting harder to find any rings.

~Why can’t I run away? Because the golem broke all the ice leading out to this crumbling old ruin!~

Swimming was not an option for Rosy either. As she neared the edge of the island in the once frozen lake, the water raged up in powerful destructive waves that would have been impossible for her to withstand. The cause of the waves was none other than the unseen force that kept the legless, arch shaped golem in the air as it raced around the island to meet her.

“Not again!”

Slipping and sliding to a stop, Rosy attempted to regain her traction to flee the other way. The golem would not afford her the time and again struck the island with tremendous force. With a bit of better luck Rosy managed to jump up before impact and was launched by a chunk of rubble that rose up to meet her.

“Oof!”

The debris may have stolen her breath away, but it also provided her a foot hold she could use to escape the golem’s next attack. The golem itself seemed to recognize the situation and instead of swinging its fist again instead gathered light into its core.

“Oh no!”

The beams of green light fired from the gems that powered the golems were no laughing matter even from the ones more around Rosy’s size. But one fired from a gem the size of a three-story building would be catastrophic.

Rosy had no intention of seeing how she would fair against the golem’s next attack and rolled the rock over so she was pointing back toward the ground. A gapping maw the size of the golem’s fist awaited her below and she had no idea what awaited beyond it. Still, she could not risk the golem’s beam weapon and kicked off the rock towards the hole. Curling her body into a tight defensive ball she hoped her typical springiness would allow her to rebound safely from what awaited her below.

Above Rosy, the golem’s gem finished charging and a bolt of green energy tore through the cloudy sky. It devastated more of the ancient stone brick structure and released a rain of Rings in the wake of the destruction that further stripped the ruin of any identity of its former function. Rosy herself presumed the ruin might have been a town at some point, but if so then she had found her way into its aqueduct tunnels.

The opening created by the massive golem led Rosy straight into an underground channel of icy water. The temperature of the water near stole her breath away, no less her consciousness and she struggled to swim to the surface.

“Ugh!” Rosy groaned and gasped for air, pushing her limbs to propel her through the ice water filled veins of the ruin. Between breaths she managed to complain in an off handed way as she hoped the golem lost track of her. “At least I actually can swim in here!”

~Really, I had no idea where I was going, and the cold was sapping me of my strength. I really don’t know how Sonic and Tails do it. They just seem to run through icy cold water like they don’t feel it. Is it another use for the Rings I don’t know about? I know they can be used to absorb toxins from the body. Sonic taught me that, but can they also be used to ward off extreme temperatures? Ooh~! I really wish I could find Sonic and ask him.

~First, I have to get away from this golem. Ooh~! What an awful turn of luck! I can barely stay conscious. But I’ll freeze if I don’t. I can’t black out now.

~And yet I did.

~So how am I still telling my story? Well, someone must have rescued me. Or at least that’s what I presumed waking up beside a fire in the depths of the ruin.~

“Hello?” Rosy cried out as she sat up, the heavy blanket around her fighting against her weakened form. “Is anyone there?”

She did not want to succumb back to the darkness of an uneasy sleep, but Rosy fell back down anyway as the warmth of the fire was too comforting and the blanket too heavy. She refused to let her eyelids grow heavy though, and with a burst of internal energy forced them to stay open.

With open eyes Rosy needed something to look at and set about scanning the chamber she occupied. What she found was old beat up cookware and hunting and fishing supplies. “Does someone live here?”

“For someone half frozen you sure have a lot of questions,” a surprisingly youthful voice criticized Rosy from somewhere behind her. “Though I have a few of my own. You didn’t honestly think that you could stay warm dressed in that little did you? Or maybe you got stuck here like I did because of those blasted Rings!”

Forcing herself to roll over under the blanket a look of astonishment soon adorned Rosy’s face. “You’re not just young sounding! You’re a kid!”

“Who are you calling a kid!” a sapient koala in a heavy fur coat and holding an archery bow yelled at Rosy, denying that he obviously was. Rosy herself was technically still a child as well, but the youth was easily younger than her and she felt a need to see him safely from the island and the golem that ravaged it. But first proper introductions were due.

“Tee-hee! I think we need to start from the beginning,” Rosy again tried to force herself to sit up. It was a vain effort and she puffed up her cheeks in frustration. But only for a moment. She wanted to start with as a good of an impression as she could. “I’m Amy Rose, but I prefer to be called Rosy. I’m from a really faraway place and kind of lost right now, but everyone here seems to see me as a sightseer.”

“Well you picked a terrible spot for sightseeing,” the young koala sighed, his shoulders slumping as he was faced with the possibility of having to protect Rosy.

“Well, I’m also looking for my friends,” Rosy tried to defend her actions. “We got separated after we were attacked by some mean old sky pirates and the golem here sounded like something two of them might come check out. Ooh~! I really wish one of them had too. They’d beat that mean old golem in no time!”

“What! Are your friends golem hunters too! Why would golem hunter’s hang out with a sightseer?”

“No, no, no,” Rosy tried to correct the young koala, waving her hands under the heavy blanket in emphasis. “All of us are from really faraway lands. I mean really faraway. All your customs here are so weird to me. I feel kind of exotic traveling around.”

“You just seem kind of stupid to me.”

“Hey!” Rosy finally found the strength to sit up, fueled by the uncalled-for insult. “You just can’t go around calling people names. Besides, I gave you mine. It’s Rosy! And you still need to tell me yours too!”

“It’s Patch. But everyone calls me Draw because my archery teacher always yelled it at me during practice.”

“So nice to meet you Draw!” Rosy chirped cheerfully as she suddenly dashed out of from under the blanket and took Draw’s hands in her own.

“Gah!” Draw recoiled in surprise at Rosy’s speed. “How did you–!”

“Oh, you mean my speed. Tee-hee! It’s kind of a long story, but I can run so fast that I can get to you as fast as my words reach your ears. At least when I’m having a good day.”

“How is that even possible?” Draw asked trying to pull away from Rosy. It was a vain effort, as Rosy was far stronger than she looked and had already decided that Draw was her new friend. Of course, that meant she gladly explained as well.

Scene 19 · CLEARED Hope on Ice, to be continued

-----

And I’ve yet introduced another character. Comically, unlike Gill I actually have know just how long he’ll be hanging around for. If he comes back after that point will be up to my readers. Though for now him and Rosy just need to deal with a rather troublesome golem. I hope everyone will join them next time as well!

Thank you for reading!
