Chapter 19: Truly Deadly Chamber

Knuckles grabbed the last key from within a secret room and screamed , "Damn this chamber!" He then proceeded to climb his way to the top of the Death Chamber, only to realize that he went ABOVE the locked door! Knuckles was currently in the core electricity pump of the Death Chamber, where he heard creepy moaning from behind.

"Huh? Who's there?!"

Shockingly, a giant ghost with rainbow colored eyes and a rainbow colored tongue was hovering behind him. "Oh my God, he ate that poor rainbow pony!" Knuckles said trying not to move. After a minute later, the ghost began opening its mouth and chasing Knuckles. Knuckles began running away screaming at the top of his lungs, while the ghost spat fireballs out of his mouth.

The ghost then began vomiting flames, which caused Knuckles to stop and turn around. He saw a smaller ghost carrying an hourglass for no reason, so he did what he does best. He punched it. The hourglass broke, causing the Death Chamber's airlock doors to open up, letting in warm sunlight. Which in the Death Chamber, meant over 200°F temperatures! The ghost fled into the ground to hide, but its shadow could still be seen. Knuckles dug into the ground to yank the ghost back out, and it worked perfectly. The ghost screamed and ran across the area four times before Knuckles punched it. "Gotcha!" He then held the ghost up to the light to finish the job.

The ghost was sent back in the ground by the light, but Knuckles was quite literally having a stroke through to all of the heat. "What a hassle..." Knuckles sighed, panting on the floor.

The electricity pump began bursting open as the heat melted the wires, causing the sticky substance to drain the electricity, and clog up the ventilation for the entire pyramid! The airlock doors immediately closed as there was no electricity to power them. All the lights went out, with the Death Chamber very dimly lit by some torches. Knuckles screamed as black melted wires at 447°F began coming his way. He dug down into the ground, reappearing at the locked door. "...That was very rough..."

Eggman was burning up as he groaned, "Aah! What's going on?! What happened to the air supply..?" He angrily brought out his maintenance panel and looked up the Death Chamber cameras. When he saw that the electricity pump was done for, Eggman screamed and muttered, "Must get to the ARK! I'll just let them suffocate in this pyramid."
