Powerful One

Chapter One

Meeting in the Park

It was a dark night in Mobotropolis, just outside the lit up city, in a dark forest on the outskirts, a small light was flickering in a clearing, gathered around it were five Mobians dressed in black cloaks, they were sitting in a circle cross legged and were meditating and chanting.

Within their circle, there was a shape made with candles, it was a star, they were sitting on a point of the star each and were placing things like herbs into a small ball of fire in the middle of the star as well as placing runes and stones around it. As they were doing so they were chanting.

"Now is the time" they chanted "this is the hour, ours is the magic, ours is the power" as they chanted the figure at the top of the star who was wearing silver lining on her cloak threw something that looked like silvery dust onto the large flame, "now is the time" she said "this is the hour, ours is the magic, ours is the power"

She then lifted her arms as a silvery smoke appeared in the flames and began to fill the clearing with smoke and odd shapes of evil figures. Then a laugh was heard as the mist rose, then the figures raised their arms and called out "we invoke thee, we pray of thee, show us your power, come to us! Hear us! Hear our prayer! Hear our call!" then the mist rose higher and lighting struck………..

Meanwhile in a large apartment in Mobotropolis, a white bat stood on her balcony gazing at the sunny sky, she looked down at the people walking below and smiled, nearly everyone in the city was out and about this fine morning.

Rouge smiled and looked at the sky again, "it sure is a beautiful day" she thought, she stared more at the city then turned to walk back inside, as she did, she heard her phone ring, she walked over to it and answered "Rouge the Bat here!" she said. "Rouge?" a deep male mysterious voice said on the other line, "it's Shadow" "hi Shadow" said Rouge, "is everything alright?"

"Fine" Shadow's voice said again, "Can you come down to the Mobotropolis Park? I need to talk to you" "Sure thing" said Rouge, she looked at the clock, it was almost 10am. "I'll be down there straight away" "Thanks" Shadow's voice said on the other line.

Rouge hung up, then went to find her handbag, then her keys, she then left her apartment and walked through the busy streets down towards the centre park. As she walked she wondered what Shadow wanted. "Could it be business of some kind?" she thought.

She thought about how they had worked together as a team as anti heroes and wondered if this was another mission or jewel hunt or maybe the Sonic Team wanted them and Shadow wanted to talk to her about it. She shrugged and walked on still wondering.

When she got to the park, she saw the ebony hedgehog sitting on a bench under a tall oak tree, Rouge ruffled her hair and walked over, "hi" she said in that sultry voice. Shadow looked up at her. "Hey" he said. "What's going on?" asked Rouge, Shadow looked away from her and looked up at the large forest on the hill behind the city. Rouge noticed him looking at it.

"What about it?" she asked, Shadow looked at the white bat again and spoke, "last night" he said "I was walking around here, it was about 1.30 in the morning, when I saw these strange things coming from the woods up there" Rouge sighed "lemme guess" she said "Eggman again?"

"No" said Shadow "it was something else" "what?" asked Rouge "something much more weird" said Shadow "it looked like a silvery mist, in weird shapes, like ghostly shapes" Rouge looked at the hedgehog again. "A mist?" asked Rouge. Shadow took a large camera out from under his coat and set up the screen.

Rouge took a look and saw there was a shot of the forest bathed in the bright moonlight, but it showed some shots of a silvery mist rising from the clearing. Her eyes widened as she looked "wow" she said, "that's really weird" Shadow nodded "it looks too weird to be anything we've seen before"

"We should tell the Chaotix" said Rouge, "and Sonic and the others, they should know" Shadow grimaced at the thought of Sonic, but he agreed, "ok" he said "lets go" he stood up and began to walk out of the park, Rouge followed him, still curious about the strange mist in the camera.

Here's my new fic, this one introduces the Dark Covenant and the powerful sorceress Morgana Ravenwolf.
