Chapter 50: Cogitate your worries away


... Here it was, another silent and breezy flight. Although it seemed to be the same scene, clouds floating past as you head to your destination, nothing and everything seemed to change during flight, especially in Tails's biplane, if he knew what a biplane meant. The only thing he knew to keep in mind was to know that it's a plane, and it somehow has the ability to fly. Then it hit realization how they'd never expect to run into Pegasi, he rather not, it wouldn't be pretty. All the while, JetStream knew he couldn't relax to the lengths of when he was able to, they were surrounded by clouds much darker, and there wasn't as much clouds as there were in the first place, 'I bet if these two Emeralds had the energy, we could've saved them from it...' he gripped the saddle-bag tighter, then loosened after some thought, 'We can fix it, we all can do something at the most...' suddenly a cloud approached, and Tails didn't have the time to go out of its way. They went right through it, JetStream started coughing, 'What was in that cloud? I thought that clouds were full of water anyway...' JetStream looked through the saddle-bag he opened toward the Chaos Emeralds, 'What if I can raise their power, like I did before this whole thing started...?' he preceded to take one out, gazing at its lost color, and begging for it to return. He made himself comfortable, and to the point to where he felt like the same finding Auras, 'Doing something with my Aura without closing my eyes will be a first... I don't even know why I do that?' little things sub-consciously came up to avoid the dangers of what he could possibly be doing. He shook his head and went back to the Emerald, 'But never mind that...' JetStream looked over to Knuckles and sighed, 'Sleepin' as always...' his attitude broke before he looked to the Emerald, and focused, 'Maybe the Emeralds and my Aura go hoof and hoof... not very likely... but possible? ...' his Aura glowed once again, he smiled always to know how to possibly keep his Aura in balance. As JetStream's Aura surrounded the Emerald, is started to glow like a mirror would reflecting and refracting light. JetStream suddenly breathed in deeply, more than he's ever before, '...Is, is that the... power that they could've been talking about...?' he felt this pleasurable feeling, suddenly it wasn't a moment of helping it. But rather felt like he could take it, '... Use it as my own.....' JetStream quickly shoved the now colorful Emerald back in the bag, the top of his head near his mane was practically sweating, he was visibly shaking as well, 'I never knew a feeling, so good could... be so bad...' he grimaced, '... It's only bad because of the dangers that Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were trying to avoid...' JetStream wouldn't believe it, this feeling he's experiencing was specifically the thing most living creatures tried to avoid taking to much power. JetStream opened up the bag looking at the Chaos Emeralds it contained, '... But how much of it, is too much...?' you could see the sparking curiosity in his eyes, suddenly shaking his head, 'No, I need to regenerate the Emeralds power, just in case we need some help... just in case if we can't trust anypony or anybody...' he pulled out another Emerald to bring its power back. He focused and let the Emerald soak it all up, 'Then again, the Emeralds are getting their energy... where is it coming from?' although it is a curious thought, he continued to do it. Yet the same bittersweet feeling emerged, 'What's with this!?' he was confused, his specific goal was to bring the Emeralds energy back. JetStream pulled back from doing it any further, 'I'm not making any progress going this sl-!' he noticed he Chaos Emerald was back to its proper color, '... This is the red Emerald...' as JetStream from his small study of Aura, and mostly only some of the colors and what represented, 'Red stands for power, energy, energetic... being some sort of dominant character... being strong basically...' JetStream sighed as he put the Emerald back, noticing he has three back to their proper state, '... But in what...?' he pulled another out and began to focus once more. After some time, he stopped, 'This one's.... back...' he'll never forget the look of these, smiling as he put it back and picked out another one. He closed his eyes, he suddenly dropped the Emerald and laid back on the seat, next thing you knew he was silently resting as they continued. Sonic looked back, as he heard the something.

"..." he noticed JetStream lying there silently, "Did he fall asleep too?" Tails looked up to him.

"Did he?" Sonic shrugged.

"That's what it looks like." he then noticed the Emerald on the floor of the plane, "Are you kidding? He's asleep because he tried to restore the Emeralds power..." Tails didn't look all the good.

"Think we should've warned him?" Sonic sighed.

"Of course, it's no big deal, but doing it takes a lot of energy... no matter how quickly you somebody pulls the revival." Tails nodded in agreement.

"I'll take it from you." 'Might as well gain it back, JetStream while we make further progress... you need the strength after how long this will go on...' he had quite a slant expression.
