The Eighth Emerald

Chapter 1

Dusk's Changes

"You won't get away with this, Eggman!" 15 year old Rosy the Hedgehog screamed at the fat scientist as she struggled against her bonds "Dusk will stop you!"

"Oh I'm counting on it my dear. I know he will come running to save you." he said.

She stopped struggling and looked up at him. "Wait you want him to come? You know he will just come and beat you up again."

"Just watch" and he gagged her. Eggman then stepped into the shadows.

"Mmph" she said, her mouth filled by the cloth, hindering her speech.

All of a sudden an explosion ripped through the door, and in her boyfriend Dusk the Hedgebat. With white fur and white quills with black stripes, he looked like a vengeful spirit. Those crimson eyes of his drove her point forward. Gosh he looks so handsome Rosy thought dreamily That's not important right now! She mentally slapped herself.

"Rosy!" Dusk yelled as he went over to her.

"Uh-Uh Mmmph!" her muffled screams said.

"What?" Dusk asked as he reached her. He took off the gag. "Are you all right?"

"Run! It's a tra-"before she could finish, four metal ropes came out and held Dusk by each of his limbs.

"Hey!" he yelled before he was pulled up into the air.

"Hahahahah" Eggman said, stepping out of his place out of sight "I have you now!"

"What do you want, Eggman?!" Dusk said.

"I wanted to test out my new invention" He said as a giant gun came out of the floor beside him.

"What none of your robots would volunteer?" Dusk joked. His bonds tightened and pulled a bit. "Oww."

"I think you may recognize the power source." He showed the pink jewel that powers the cannon.

"A pink Chaos Emerald? There are no pink Chaos Emeralds." Dusk said, struggling.

"I begged a differ. It really is mysterious. I couldn't find out the exact energy level. I just know it is powerful. What the funny thing is I have no idea what the darn thing does. I guess we'll find out." He looks over to his robot "Fire!"

The robot salutes and pulls the lever firing the laser.

The cannon charged up and fired heading straight for Dusk. The beam hit him and the pink aura surrounded him. Then Rosy heard a sound she never thought she would hear, Dusk screaming in pain.

Rosy shut her eyes and she would have plugged her ears if they weren't shackled. As it went on it got higher, but that wasn't surprising considering what was happening. She had to endure the agonizing sound of his agony until a few seconds later, the screaming ended. She heard a thud and only then did she dare open her eyes. She saw Dusk had been allowed to fall and he was lying on the ground motionless, either dead or unconscious. She hoped the latter.

"Huh, A death ray. I was hoping for some more exciting side effects." Eggman said, looking disappointed.

"You're INSANE!" Rosy shrieked. "DUSK!"

"You haven't guessed that by now. Really? Well anyway, now it's your turn little missy." He turned the cannon toward her.

"Oh No. Dusk please wake up." she pleaded.

"HEY!" someone yelled. The wall busted in.

"SONIC!" Eggman yelled.

"Daddy!" Rosy yelled.

"Rosy are you alright?" Sonic said as he and Shadow burst into the room. They had come to give Dusk a little back up and had been holding off the robots in the base when they heard Dusk shrieks of agony and had come running.

"I'm fine but Dusk-"she trailed off.

Her dad and Shadow came over to where she was. Her dad tried to break the shackles, but they were too strong for him.

"Darn it." he said.

"I got it" Shadow said and broke the shackles with ease. He picked her up, her blushing a bit. "Just get Dusk!"

"Got it!" Sonic said. He picked Dusk up. His face morphed into a look of surprise. He blushed a bit "Whoa."

"What is it?" Shadow asked.

"I'll explain when we get out of here." Sonic lied.

Shadow hmphed and started running with Rosy in his arms. Sonic followed him with Dusk.

"This isn't the end, Sonic!" yelled Eggman as they ran out of the room and made their way home.

A few hours later

Dusk woke up with a mental groan. He was in his bed. All he knew was that his head hurt a lot.

What happened? he thought. Let's see, the last thing I remember is going to save Rosy from Eggman. Then I got caught and he shot me with that big laser gun thing. The last thing I remember is pain- lots of pain.

With another groan he got up from his bed and almost fell over. Why am I so off balance? His vision was cloudy so he couldn't tell what was wrong. He saw his mirror and decided to go over and check.

He walks over to his mirror and takes a look as his vision clears up.

What he sees is a teenage girl that looked exactly like him, only she was female. The girl had a healthy bust and nice curves. She wore what looked like something Rosy would pick out. He felt his face, the girl in the mirror did as well. He brought his hand up to his chest and felt something soft and round.

The realization hit him as he begins to hyperventilate- he was that girl. He was now a she.

Her eye twitches and she let out a very girl-like scream.

Rosy and Rouge burst in to the room to see the Dusk sitting on the bed, her knees huddled to her face and she was crying into them. Dusk brings her head up and, with the tears in her eyes, says to them.

"What happened to me?"
