7 Continents, 7 Crystals Part 5: Cool as the Rising Sun

*The penguins look in awe*

Penguin: Truly she is queen of both head and heart!

Amy: *smiles as she walks over* Now listen your majesty. I'm happy to have fulfilled your prophecy....but I am going to need this crystal to help not just you guys, but the entire world you live on as well.

*The penguins nod*

Penguin: Thank you Amy, we humbly accept your wise judgement.

Sal: Wow. Good thing Vibes isn't here.

Tails: *chuckles* Yeah.

Amy: *curtsies to the king and walks over to Sally and Tails* Well guys, let's head home. Mission accomplished.

*Sal smiles*

Sal: Sounds good to m...

*Sees Vibes and the others arrive*

Sal: Perfect timing.

Tails: Look who's back!

Sonic: *smirks* I'm guessing you guys took care of things why we were away?

Amy: Yep......*sniffs* Why do I smell burnt quills?

Knuckles: *covered in soot* It's a long story....

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: It involves fire.

Knuckles: It burned. Because it was fire.

Amy: I think we best save it till AFTER we're in the warmth and comfort of Vixen house.

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: Sounds good to me.

*BACK HOME*

Rote: *Places the crystal in the container*

Tails: So that's 6 down and one more to go.

Sonic: After that we just need to take down Lyric and get the 8th crystal from him.

*Vibes tries to think*

Vibes: So...where haven't we gone yet?

Tails: Already got it coordinated. Tomorrow We'll send a team out to Australia to get the last crystal.

*Sal looks at Vibes*

Sal: No...just...no.

Vibes: I have no idea what you bloody mean ya flamin' galah!

Sonic: In retrospect, we sort of ran into that one.

Sal: *rolls her eyes* I'm getting some sleep.

Vibes: *looks at the crystal container*

Sonic:.........Something on your mind, Vi?

*Vibes looks round at him*

Vibes: Why do you ask?

Sonic: I dunno. Maybe because you were giving off a stare similar to how I act whenever I'm thinking to myself?

*Vibes laughs*

Vibes: Am I that obvious?

Sonic: A tiny bit.

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Guess it's just weird...after this one I just wonder what happens next.

Sonic: Trust me, I feel ya.

Vibes: *puts her hand on the container* Well whatever happens I know we're going to kick evil's butt.

Sonic: Couldn't agree more!

*the two smile....as the crystals in the container begin to glow....*

Vibes: Hmm? This is new...

Sonic: Uh Vibes what did you do? O.o

*Vibes looks baffled*

Vibes: I don't know! You're super fast how do you know it's not something you did?

Sonic: Because I didn't touch it!!

Vibes: Well we better get out before-!!!

*Just then the crystals envelope the two heroes in light....and upon dimming down, Vibes and Sonic completely "vanish".*
