Chaos Riders

Hey guys! Here's the story that I promised I would put up. Luckily I've found a way to get pass my cousin's plots to delaying me from updating on time. But if I wrote down how, then my cousin would find out and then my stories would be in jeporady again. So... I hope you guys enjoy the chapter and please tell me what you guys think.

Disclaimer: Dark-Illusion-Detective does not own any of the Sonic Characters, especially not the Babylon Rogues, nor does she own Sega. She does own Aerial the Hawk and Beacon (aka Pride) the Sparrow.

Hope you guys like it!

Chapter One: Babylon Rogues' Match

The sound of the remote changing the channels on the TV would've usually bugged Wave beyond belief, but Jet was lucky. He was sitting in his office watching anything that sparked the hawk's interest; that was where he was unlucky. Nothing eye catching was on.

Jet sighed boredly and after turning the TV off, he carelessly tossed the remote onto his desk. He glanced around his office to see the same thing he'd been seeing for the past three days; dark storm clouds that spilled the rain onto the windows, and flashes of lightning. This made Jet's office unusually darker than usual, but at least the weather didn't chase away his daily ambitions to finding something to steal.

A set of heavy footsteps became louder and louder, and Jet knew exactly who they belonged to. The door flew open to reveal Storm the Albatross.

"B-Boss!"

Jet flinched at the slightly-too-loud tone Storm spoke in, and the green hawk could've sworn he heard Wave shout from her room to keep it down.

"Yes Storm?"

Storm placed his radio on the desk and turned it up.

"Listen to this!"

"Shut up! And turn that radio down!" Wave shouted from her room.

Jet was about to turn the radio down himself until he realized why the volume was so high; you couldn't hear the people talking, but you could definately hear the music. But he ignored the music, despite its catchy tune, and focused on the words.

"We're on the scene of the Station Square Museum, where a new exhibit has been presented called the Disaster Realm. According to the manager of this museum, this was introduced when an item now known as the Disaster Diamond was brought in by a little kid of eleven."

The radio suddenly shut off and the duo looked at the person responsible only to run away in fear as Wave the Swallow chased after them with a wrench and screwdriver.

--- Station Square ---

Even in this place it was still raining and thundering; which Storm and Jet didn't mind too much but Wave couldn't stand it. First it was the radio that was turned up too high and now it was the rain they have been seeing for the past three days! What was worse was they were splitting up.

"Jet, why exactly are we splitting up again?"

"Simple, if we split up then we'll find the Disaster whatever thing quicker," Jet explained as though he knew everything.

Storm followed behind them quietly, which was even new for them. Usually he would be stuttering about how he was ready to do this, but this time around he didn't.

"Storm. Are you ready?"

The albatross instantly perked up and nodded, "y-yes I am!"

"Keep it down, the security cameras will pick up our voices."

Jet's blue eyes shinned with excitement as he remarked, "this is going to be too easy. Alright, on three we'll split up, that way the security robots will be too busy going only after two of us."

"What makes you think it'll be just two of us?"

"Because Storm and you will be going too slow while I'll be going as fast as the speed of sound."

Wave seemed to shake her head in disproval but she didn't say anything, neither did Storm. Then again, Wave would side with anyone who said that Storm's extreme gear skills sucked.

The trio backed up a little and as they ran toward the museum, they jumped onto their extreme gears. As they sped faster and faster, Jet counted off, "One, Two... THREE!"

And just like Jet's plan, they split up in different directions and alarms began wailing throughout the nearby streets. As the glass doors shattered into pieces, two shadows swiftly followed Jet's path with ease, careful to not be noticed.

--- About Five Minutes Later ---

The museum was massive, that was one of the things that Jet never realized until he came into the room with the precious Disaster Diamond. The room itself was pretty large, considering it had a large exhibit on what Chao were, what and where Chaos came from, and in the middle of the room was the Disaster Diamond in a small glass case that would've been over looked by Jet if he hadn't noticed that it was the smallest thing out of the room.

Jet got off his extreme gear and he walked past the Chao exhibits toward the Disaster Diamond. The hawk smirked cockily and he whispered, "too easy."

He took out a pen and began to create a hole in it thanks to a built in laser, courtesy of Wave. The piece of glass he had drawn out, fell to the ground with a small crackling sound that was easy to ignore.

But just as Jet was about to reach in to case to take his prize a voice stopped him.

"Jet the Hawk?"

Jet stopped and looked behind him to see two figures.

"So it really is you. No smoke and mirrors, or should I say no holograms," the girl of the duo said with a bit of hatred embedded into her voice.

"What are you talking about?"

The girl scoffed and clapped her hands. The lights flickered on and Jet jumped back in surprise.

The figures were both birds of some kind. The guy of the group, a Sparrow, was honey colored with emerald eyes. He wore a dark hoodie and baggy jeans that seemed to give him the appearance of someone who liked to fight. His hair style proved that theory to be correct and the glint in his eyes seemed to be asking Jet silently if he wanted to fight.

It wasn't the sparrow that made him jump back; it was the girl. The girl was a hawk that was a fierce emerald color that resembled Jet's feather color and she had blue-green eyes that were shinning with betrayal and determination. She wore a pair of black jeans that were ripped and a red hoodie with black flames on the sleeves and the hood.

"Who are you?"

The hawk didn't seem impressed at all and that was obvious as she glared at him.

"How did you get here so quickly? Are you the security guards or what?"

"Please. Would security guards dress to casually?" the sparrow asked as he began to clench and unclench his fists rapidly as though he really was asking for a fight.

"Extreme Skates. Now out of our way."

Jet glared as he replied, "over my dead body. This is my mission. Stay out of it."

"You've got it wrong," the hawk muttered as Jet turned his back on them. "Pride. You know what to do."

"You sure?"

"Definately."

Jet grabbed the diamond and turned around to see Pride the sparrow pointing a spear like object at him.

"Hand over the Disaster Diamond and we won't be forced to harm you in any way," Pride threatened as he took a step toward Jet.

Jet quickly got on his extreme gear and started to ride away, soon the hawk and sparrow were out of sight. He smirked and laughed, "what a bluff!"

The exit was only a couple more minutes away and Jet held the diamond tightly. The diamond glowed in a soft pink glow, and Jet felt the small amount of light illuminate his way to the exit. Jet almost forgot about the duo he met until a sudden burst of energy grazed his cheek. He looked behind him to see Pride coming closer and closer to Jet, the spear-like object in his hands and it was glowing with the same kind of glow the diamond was.

"We warned ya! Now get ready to be destroyed! You said 'dead body' right?"

Jet blinked in slight surprise, he had to admit, something was up. Where was the hawk from before? Where did she go?

"JET!"

Wave and Storm suddenly appeared in sight and they caught up with Jet with ease. And Jet was glad to see them. But that was short lived as the lasers kept getting fired toward the trio.

"What's going on?"

"Some hawk and sparrow appeared out of nowhere and is trying to get the diamond."

Wave looked at Storm then at Jet, "Hand it over to Storm."

Jet glanced at Storm and tossed the diamond. Storm caught it gracefully and they split up in the split in the hall. Wave went right, Jet went in the middle and Storm went left.

Pride stopped momentarily before he rode through the middle path. The hawk from before instantly went left and a devious glint was visible in her eyes.

--- Four Minutes Later ---

The fresh air outside of the museum felt great, despite the rain and roar of thunder, as Storm stopped in the bushes and waited for Wave and Jet to come out. He held the diamond in his tight grip and he sighed with relief that he didn't lose it on his way out. The albatross was about to go back to the airship until a voice caught his attention.

"Storm! Glad you made it out!"

Storm turned and saw the girl standing with a curious look on her face. The albatross got on his extreme gear quickly but before he could escape, the hawk was in his path, and he fell off his gear out of surprise.

"Don't leave okay? I'm going to have to take that diamond from you. It's important to me."

"Wh-Who are you?"

"The name's Aerial. Now hand the Disaster Diamond over and I won't be forced to hurt you in any way."

He looked at Aerial and noticed that she looked a lot like Jet. But there was something about her, not appearance wise, that sent of alarms in his mind.

Storm didn't reply and Aerial didn't say anything more as she took out needles. His eyes widened as she got in a threatening position.

"Hand it over alba. You owe me that much."

The albatross stopped for a moment as he recalled being called alba by a few people. Jet, Wave at one point in time... even... by her. But he hadn't seen her in ages.

"You can't be her..."

"Glad you remember me. Hand it over."

Storm was in shock. He thought she was dead. Long deceased, but... she wasn't. He had to get away and tell Jet and Wave! This was big! He yelped though as several needles pierced his hand and he dropped the diamond. Aerial picked it up and she glared at Storm. The glare froze Storm's thoughts of even telling his partners.

"I am a Chaos Rider. And you're our opponents. Stand in our way and you can bet your leader's life that we will destroy you and everything you stand for," Aerial snarled out, hatefully.

Aerial turned around and Pride suddenly appeared smirking.

"They shouldn't bug us for a while."

Storm's anger rose, "what di-did you d-do t-to Jet and W-Wave?!"

"You can find out for yourself alba. For now, Pride, send word that we've succeeded."

Pride nodded as he rode off into the outskirts of Station Square. Storm looked at Aerial who seemed slightly disappointed.

"Here I thought I'd be able to talk to him again... oh well. He'll be glad to know that he's no longer a disappointment to his father anymore, but is now a disappointment to me. So long alba! Catch ya later!"

Aerial rode off almost the same time Storm darted into the museum. He ran and ran for what seemed like minutes until he saw Wave and Jet... hanging upside down and covered in a pink substance that seemed like bubble gum.

"Storm. Get us down... so I can destroy that son of a-"

Storm knocked Wave out and grinned that she wasn't going to hit him. Jet seemed slightly angry as he questioned, "so where's the diamond? Back at the airship right?"

"Jet. We need to talk," Storm quickly replied as he started to get Jet and the unconscious Wave out of the sticky goo. When they finally got down they barely avoided the police and swiftly made it back to the airship and took off before anyone would realize it was the Babylon Rogues that had done this.

Blah. Here's the beginning to Aerial's story. Sorry it's sort of short and unorganized, I was sort of hanging for a while over what should happen and stuff. So I tried to make it seem possible for this to happen. Probably wouldn't though. (Shrugs) But I tried. That's all that matters. By the way this is my... second time trying to play as the Babylon Rogues so please don't be so harsh. I tried... anyways, I hope you guys will tell me what I can improve on. Thanks for reading.
