Shadowed Photo Ch. 1: Flash in the Night
"Sigh… what a great sleepover!" It was a great sleepover. There was popcorn, pillow fights, candy, movies, and did I mention more candy? "Well, too bad it had to end…" I said to myself. Yeah, I'm the kind of person who talks to myself sometimes. Got a problem with that! Ha ha! Just kiddin'! Anyway, I was walking from my friend's house, who lives a few blocks from my house in Station Square.
My name is Ruby Gemmon. Yep, I live in Station Square and I'm proud of it! At first, it was a pretty boring place. You know, just an every day city in an every day world…yada, yada, yada…nothing new. Well, that is until Sonic and his friends got here by Chaos Control, but I'm sure you know how that works, so I won't waste my time (and yours) to tell you.
So, anyway I'm walking home at a slightly fast pace because it was night time. I mean, you never know when a weirdo is gonna jump out at you and say, "Give me your purse, girly!" Notice I say 'girly.' That's because I was 11 years old the day I met… 'him.'
When I was 11, I was way into photography. I found my dad's old camera in my grandparents' attic and I started to use it like crazy. I took all sorts of pictures: my parents, my friends, and least a dozen of my cat, Pumpkin.
(saphireKat: I wuv my kitty: ) )
But, who I really wanted to capture a picture of seemed imposable—Sonic the Hedgehog.
Why? Well, DUH! He's too fast. But, that didn't stop me! I just don't give up.Yeah, I'm also a little stubborn. No… wait… not stubborn—'persistent.' That's more like it! I just don't give up.
Unfortunately, I think it was my geeky photography passion, my persistence, and the fact I was on the school's news paper cast that got me to meet 'him', and change my life forever…
Anyway, moving on now.
(saphireKat: Sorry, I get caught up on my character's description's sometimes. Is that a bad thing?)
I was walking swiftly on the sidewalk and was about five blocks away from my house with my camera around my neck. I slightly tilted my head to the right… and saw something like a huge hunk of metal. I halted and moved back a step. The thing was right in the middle of Station Square Circle.
(saphireKat: Yes, I know the name is lame, it was the only thing I could think of!
-sweatdrops-)
'What is that?' I thought. 'If I was smart, I'd probably not go near it, but… if I leave… it'll just keep bugging me to go back…'
"…maybe just a little look." I said out loud.
So I did what any other nosy person would do: I ran across the street to get a closer look. (And watching for cars, too.)
Then, out of no where, a blinding, green flashing light appeared on top of the scraps of metal, which actually turned out to be…
'A ro… robot!' I thought. 'It looks kind of like the ones GUN own!'
When the light dimmed, I realized there was a figure on top of it. And that figure was none other than Sonic the Hedgehog! Or at least, that's what I thought for the moment.
"O-oh, crap", I whispered, trying to believe who I was seeing. Luckily, there was a dumpster near by, so I quickly dashed to it, just in time, too, because he nearly saw me. About 20 feet away, was another hedgehog!
'Wha…what? TWO Sonics! There are TWO of them!'
I took another look at the two hedgehogs.
'W-wait… the hedgehog on top of the robot… is black! Then, the other one… must be the real Sonic! So, who or what is the other guy?' I suddenly remembered something on TV that said something about Sonic stealing a Chaos Emerald. However, I was still totally lost and I had no idea what was going on! I would in a moment, though…
"Well," the black hedgehog smirked. "Sonic the Hedgehog… we meet at last."
I sat there, still in hiding, trying to soak up every info I could get from these two while jotting everything I heard and saw down on sparkly purple notepad. (It's a reporter habit.)
Sonic stepped forward, glaring up at the black hedgehog. "Wait a minute… now I know what's going on!" He shouted. "The military has mistaken ME for the likes of YOU!"
Boing! There goes the light bulb! The black hedgehog was framing Sonic!
"Heh. Very good", the black hedgehog smirked. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shadow the Hedgehog."
I sat there, amazed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! 'Seeing… wait! My camera! This is the perfect opportunity to finally get my picture of Sonic—and this other guy who calls himself "Shadow".'
I brought my camera up to my eye. "Oh, wait," I whispered to myself. "I forgot the flash! How do you zoom this thing again…?"
I mentally slapped myself for not doing this in the first place. And to think I wanted to be an ace reporter when I grew up!
Okay, now I was officially ready. I brought the camera up to my eye, again, and readied myself. It was just in time, too.
"Now, Sonic," announced Shadow with an evil smirk. "Allow me to show you my real power!" He slowly lifted up the Chaos Emerald with his hand.
Sonic dashed forward. "Oh, no you DON'T…!"
Next, I'm not sure which came first, the flash from the Chaos Emerald, or my camera. But all I could remember was that very moment I hit the button…
Click!
…then I saw that bright green light again…
"Chaos Contral!"
… and I passed out…
