5: Helping The Koco

Spike and Sonic proceeded to explore a little bit until they found Amy near a metal platform talking to something.

"What is that?" Spike asked looking at the strange creature.
"Yo amy, who's your friend?" Sonic asked while he was looking at the creature as well, the creature then looked at amy seeming to communicate with her in a way, she nodded and turned to them.
"This Koco says that they need to find they're one true love before its to late." Amy began to explain.
"Koco, is that what they're called?" Spike asked looking at the creature and Amy nodded.

"They've been to shy to express they're feelings, but if they don't do it now, they may never get the chance." Amy said sadly, Spike looked at the creature sadly.
"Never get the chance for your true love?" Spike asked sadly.

" You got all that?" Sonic asked surprised she could understand them.
"I feel like the dimension i'm in is translating for me, it's strange but it feels natural." Amy told them.
"How could being half here feel natural?" Spike asked confused.

"We'll you always had an act for weird insights, who am i to argue?" Sonic asked and Spike shook his head.
"Well we might as well, we should help out as much as we can" Spike said looking at the Koco with a smile.
"I'm glad your willing to help Spike, glad to have someone else who cares about these things." Amy said gratefully and Spike gave a thumbs up.

"Don't you worry little guy, we'll help you find your true love." Amy told it, and Sonic looked a little uninterested
"I would say we got more pressing matters right now, but then again who am i to argue?" Sonic asked again.
"I think helping them out will be just as important Sonic, Let's just try to help it." Spike said looking at the creature, the Koco then turned to him trying to tell him something, and he felt his head hurt a little

"Thank you.." a child like voice told him and Spike's eyes widened.
"Everything alright buddy?" Sonic asked concerned.
"Yeah.. i just think i heard it speak to me, it said.. thank you." Spike said still trying to process it.
"How could that be possible?" Amy asked concerned. Spike thought about it and came up with a suggestion.

"It might have been the energy that flew into us, Sonic may not have understood it but i can apparently." Spike told them.
"Well, given what i've seen it couldn't be impossible" Sonic said recalling what he's seen.
"We'll lets go to the structures near that tower, i think i saw some more Koco there." Amy said pointing at the structures, Sonic and Spike looked at eachother and nodded and agreed to go over there.

It took a little bit to reach the place but they did, but it wasn't without taking down a few enemies, Spike felt something surge in his body, fire soon formed in his hands and they became two sharp disks, Spike proceeded to throw them at the enemies and it sliced them in half completely.

"Whoa!" Sonic said surprised at that move.
"What was that?" Spike asked himself completely shocked at what he just did.
"I think that was a new skill, like the stomp i recently learned to use, guess your moves can be fire related in some way" Sonic suggested.
"It might be, let's just focus on helping Amy for now" Spike told him and he nodded and they saw her talking with two Koco.

"Sonic, Spike, over here!" She waved and they rushed to her, Spike felt his head hurt again.
"Please help us.. I've lost my children please" A soft voice spoke sadly, and Spike looked at them looking sad.
"I think i can understand them, they need help." Spike told them sadly and Sonic looked surprised.

"He's right, this mother says she's lost her children, can you two please help?" Amy asked, and Spike and Sonic smiled.
"You got it!" Spike told her.
"Sure thing!" Sonic told the Koco. Amy told them the children were all nearby the structures a few feet away, and Sonic and Spike went over there to find all of them there.

"Looks like we have to herd them over there like sheep, i think we should be on opposite sides" Spike suggested.
"Great idea, let's do it." sonic said as they got ready to herd them to Amy.

Spike and Sonic proceeded to move multiple Koco in groups back to them at once, they had to avoid a few surprise bombs much to Spike's confusion but he continued on, it wasn't to difficult for them and they all had made all of them back to the mother.

"That wasn't as hard as i thought." Spike said surprised.
"Yeah, wonder where those bombs came from though?" Sonic asked and Spike agreed with that question, but then a bright green light appeared and they looked up and they saw a green Chaos Emerald and it floated down to them.

"Told you helping the Koco out would be important!" Spike said laughing.
"Alright, i guess we should keep a closer eye out for those who need help, but anyway." Sonic then grabbed the emerald and they did a little victory dance with the koco and they held the emerald in they're hands and they soon calmed down and turned towards Amy.

They watched the Koco with the purple flower look around to find someone, they hoped it would work, a small Koco proceeded to roll towards her and they looked at each other.
"That must be a close child." Spike said with a smile.
"It must be" Amy said agreeing as well, the two Koco's then jumped around in the air really happy and they turned to them.

"Thank you.." They both said before a green light appeared from them, the lights floated into the air and a strange symbol was seen in the sky, the two Koco then fell on the ground not moving and the three looked really sad .

"That must have been what they meant when they said to late.." Spike said sadly, another Koco then jumped at amy trying to tell her something. Amy looked at it.
"Okay okay we'll keep looking" Amy told it, and it looked happy and it started to roll off.

"Did none of that matter to them?" Spike asked confused at the death of two of their own kind.
"Sonic, Spike ,they acted like none of that happened" Amy said confused.
"Do we even know what that was?" Sonic asked confused pointing at the two now dead Koco.

"No but i got a sense of completion.. or comfort?" She asked herself
"I did to strangely, but i still don't understand how i can though.." spike said still unsure of what to do.
"Weird, i think we should keep moving though, we have a little more of the island left." Sonic said wanting to get going.
"Your right, we'll check on these guys later." Spike said ready to go as well.
"Sounds good to me." Amy agreed and ran after the Koco.
"What could all of this mean?" Spike thought to himself as they continued
