'He must be the person they're talking about...' JetStream could feel something trembling, '...But I didn't sense it...' he stood there, his pupils small and trembling. "I must guess your reasoning for being here is to gather the Chaos Emeralds, before me?" he acted like he was about to laugh. Tails took a step forward. "It's the same as ever stubborn!" he shouted, Eggman lifted his hands toward himself. "Well pardon me..." he teased, "Now give me the Chaos Emeralds, or this, town will pay." he grinned madly as he played with his mustache. JetStream felt horrible just standing there, he knew he had to do something. "Talk about heavy desperation..." Twister said lightly. Suddenly, JetStream galloped to the Bell Tower. "JetStream!" Tails was worried of what he might do. JetStream was heading toward the top of the tower , hoping to find whatever he could to help. Eggman pointed towards Sonic. "Your distractions are useless." he stood on his eggmobile smiling. 'I don't know what he's doing, but it's definitely not a distraction...' Sonic thought, hoping JetStream didn't just go insane. As soon as JetStream reached the top, he saw it, the veins from the side of the tower were up here, wrapping around the bell, the big, golden, shiny bell. But something was different, the rings on the ground showed, even when it was covered with black ooze, but more ended up on the outer rings. Twenty-six symbols showed on the bell as well. "Could this be an alphabet?" JetStream thought it could be a long-shot, "And if it is... which one starts it?" he looked at every one awkwardly and frantically, but maybe he's got to think this through, soon the setting sun's light interrupted his thinking process. The orange glow slowly going up his body, "Of course, Celestial bodies..." he didn't want to be reminded on how he ended up thinking that, "The Sun is setting, maybe they went by Celestia... I bet there's a big chance they did. If the Sun sets in the west, the sun rises in the east... rises in the east..." JetStream carefully walked around the black and purple vines and positioned himself away from the east horizon and looked down at the alphabet below and grinned, "This must be how..." he looked at the bell and noticed the same was on the bottom facing outwards of the bell, "What if I, hit the bell in these places...? I can spell a word from here, that's probably how they'd send messages back and forth too..." JetStream always wondered what the bell was for, now he got some information he waited for. Even though it seemed relevant, he didn't think it was going to work, "But it's worth giving a shot..." he looked back down, he needed to hurry before the black covered the symbols, "Uh, lets try... Danger? ... 4, 1, 19, 7, 5, 18..." JetStream knew he had to try it, "Alright then lets do it." he started walking around the bell, and avoiding the ooze when necessary. He hit the bell when he passed the symbol he needed, "4... 1... 19... 7... 5... 18..." each hit delivered a different note, and as soon as JetStream finished, it continued without any force. JetStream was amazed by this, "Wow... It's an actual song..." JetStream looked down, the rings were brightly shining a cyan color, and on second glance, the black vines was fizzling away. JetStream was just staring it down, trying to believe what he is hearing and seeing, but the vines just keep burning away. Tails pointed right behind Sonic. "S-Sonic look, the vines they're..." Sonic looked behind him. "Huh? Whoa, what's going on? JetStream are you still up there?" Sonic shouted to the top. "Yeah, I am..." JetStream replied, Eggman suddenly realized his flaw in this. "Oh, I knew this was a setup! I knew it!" Eggman soon flew it back up to the top floor. "Oh no you don't!" Knuckles jumped and smashed the two spikes in his machine. "Oh, not you!" Eggman exclaimed. "Yes me!" Knuckles responded, the mobile started to short circuit. "Oh great... get off!" Knuckles was tossed, but he caught his footing. Sonic gave a thumbs up. "Nice, Knuckles." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, at Canterlot. The song could be heard very lightly, Celestia jumped when she heard it, but then her eyes started to relax, she smiled too. "... Prosefhi..." she said without any context. ~~~Chapter End~~~
