Nile River



The next day, Hex and Espio hires a boat to find the blue Ankh Emerald in the Nile River, they had waterproof flashlights.
“This is gonna be tricky, Hex” Espio said.
"Yes, but the Ankh Emerald must be about near the old obelisks" Hex checked the map; they were about 1 mile away from the place where the obelisks are.
“Do you think it might be hid underground?” Espio asked.
"I believe so, we might check underwater and see if something is shining" Hex said, she picked out swimming goggles and oxygen tubes since they are gonna look for the emerald in the water for who knows how long.
“I hope there are no alligators in the river” Espio said.
"I hope there's no alligators in the river" Espio said. Hex chuckled at him.
"Don't be silly. Alligators only live in the swamps in North America and some part in China, but here it used to be crocodiles" Hex tells him.
"Oh yes right" Espio scratched his neck, smiling sheepishly. Once they arrived, they put on their oxygen tubes with microphones, (whatever the breathing thing is called) and swimming goggles and dives into the water. There was many rocks and reed. Near the river, same stranger from last night is coming with a cage of crocodiles.
"Let's see if you two can take these crocodiles out" the stranger chuckled evilly. He releases about 8 crocodiles into the river.

In the water, Hex and Espio haven't found the emerald yet, but they found many things from ancient Egypt, like a statue of Osiris and a mummy coffin. Hex quivers at the sight of it, but Espio calms her down. He made an ‘ok’ sign underwater and they see something moving in the water.
"CROCODILES?! BUT HOW?!" Hex was shocked and not scared. Espio saw them too.
"I thought they were extinct in Egypt" Espio said, surprised. The crocodiles closes in and tries to bite them. One of them charges at Hex and catches her with its jaws. She struggled from the grip and managed to break free.
"I don't know where they came from but I'm really pissed off now!" Hex growled and threw a bad luck beam at one of the crocodiles, making it get hit by its own tail. Espio tried his ninja skills underwater at three crocodiles, one of them tore off one of his shoes.
"GRRR!!!! Take this!" Espio snarled and elbows a croc in the head. After he knocked out three of the crocodiles, he saw that two remaining is attacking Hex and she is even struggling holding one's jaws open.
"ESPIO! NEED A HAND HERE!" Hex called for him, she couldn't use her bad luck powers since she's struggling against the croc's jaws. Espio swam to her and grabs a pipe from the bottom and whacks the croc Hex was struggling against. Now Hex used her bad luck powers on the remaining crocodiles, causing them to be confused. They both swam up to the surface.
"Thanks Espio for saving me, without you, the crocodiles could have bitten off my arms" Hex said; hugging her boyfriend.
"No worries Hex, but let's keep searching before the crocodiles follows us" Espio said.
“Right” Hex nodded.
They swam away far from the crocodiles and the stranger far away stomps his foot in anger.
"GAAAH! So close" he mutters.

Espio and Hex is now taking a break on their boat and had their lunch, having apples since it was Espio’s favorite fruit.
Espio gave Hex a green apple while he had a red apple. The taste of them was very juicy.
"Mmmm, I like the taste of these" Espio said, chewing on his apple.
"Me too sweetie" Hex said.
Espio glances at her with an grin, he decides to tell her something funny.
"Hey Hex, what happens if you surf on a clock?" Espio asked her. Hex stopped chewing her apple and glance at him.
"Huh?"
"Snowclocking!" Espio burst out laughing.
Hex kind a gets the joke and laughs with him too.
"That was funny Espio, let me tell you a joke" Hex chuckled.
"Okay, hehehe what is it?" Espio stops laughing.
“What do elephants and trees have in common?” Hex asked.
"No idea" Espio said.
“They both have trunks” Hex laughs.
"Oh I get it! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Espio burst out laughing very hard. Hex laughed along with him.
"I knew it would be good for a laugh" Hex said, patting his back.

Soon, they saw something shiny in the water and they knew it was an Ankh Emerald down there.
"I'll get it" Hex said and jumps into the water, swimming to it. Espio keeps an eye out if the crocodiles are nearby. Hex swam closer to the ankh blue emerald and is about to grab it.
But before she picked it up, she looks left and right, making sure no danger is around. But she shrugs and picks it up. She swims up to the surface and shows Espio the ankh emerald.
"I got it! Just four more to go" Hex said.
“Great job, Hex” Espio said, helping up get back on the boat.
"Thanks" Hex said, kissing his cheek.
"No problem" Espio said, blushing. Hex ran her finger on his yellow horn on his forehead.
“Let’s head back to the hotel and have dinner” Hex said.
"Sure Hex" Espio said, paddling the boat back ashore.
After an hour, they were at Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo having dinner. For the night, they were fancy dressed.
Espio was simply wearing a black tuxedo and Hex was wearing a silk red dress and red heels.
"You know Espio, this day is the most epic one of my life" Hex said.
"Sounds good to me" Espio replied.
Right now they were having appetizer during their discussing about the day.
"Besides, what's our next destination?" Espio adds.
“Temple of Khamoon” Hex said.
"Interesting" Espio said, smirking.
