Chapter 1: The Dark Cat.
Rouge was sitting down in front of a computer screen which seemed to be surveying a long and open area. The grass was never greener and the sunlight never shone brighter. The wind was practically non-existent according to the scanners and everything seemed to be going just as planned.
"Dark? I think somethings up..."
"Hm? Do the scanners show something unusual?"
"No...no they dont. Thats why I'm so supicious.."
"I know what you mean but maybe we're just having a lucky break."
Rouge sighed at hearing this and she looked back at the computer screen. It was now scanning a building that wasn't far from the open area. Rouge tapped the headset.
"Ok...found it. There are 3 guards outside on the east side talking, 2 guards sleeping on the east side on a little hill, and 1 very alert sniper on the top of the building. Inside there seem's to be around a number of guards anywhere from 500 to 1000. Something inside is throwing my scanner off but its getting an estimate of in between that area.."
An impressed whistle came in from over the headset.
"Wow 500 to 1000? They really dont want us to get any more Chaos Emeralds do they..?"
"Either that or they don't want us to find Sonic."
"Rouge..I doubt Sonic was captured by GUN."
"Just like you doubted that Tails wouldnt get caught by GUN?"
For a few seconds over the headset there was only silence. Rouge felt like she had just went too far until a soft laughter came in over the headset.
"We'll see..."
Click
Rouge sighed. She could tell the laughter was forced.
A black creature stood out in the plains the wind suddenly picking up slightly brushing his orange hair to the side. The black tips of his hair waved softly in front of his eyes as he let out a soft sigh. He knew that Rouge could tell his laughter was forced. She always had a way of knowing. He took a step and stopped as his sword's sheath tipped over slightly letting his sword start to ease out. He put a hand over his sheath and tipped it back up and the sword slowly slid back in. He looked at the building and smiled slightly.
"So then..the quickest safe path for me to get to is the east side.."
He looked back for a second then ran off for the hill with the two guards.
Sonic looked over the GUN base with a grin.
"So the new rumor their starting is that they've captured me? Ha! Those slow pokes couldn't capture me even if they could keep up with me!"
The blue hedgehog pulled out a emerald that almost matched his skin color. But it was a differnt shade of blue than that of a Chaos Emerald. He looked at it with a strange sadness in his face then he looked back at the GUN building.
"Tails...this is for you...CHAOS BLAST!!!"
Sonic thrust the emerald forward and instead of it sending Chaos Energy out around him it formed a concentrated blast of energy and it crashed into the GUN building. Seconds later the blue hedgehog was gone with soldiers out and around searching for the source of the blast.
What is this strange emerald that Sonic was holding? What is Dark planning? And what happened to Tails? Lets (not) find out next chapter!
