When Darkness Falls
AN: Hi guys! Yeah my first try for a real Sonic fanfic ^_~ I hope you guys do like much. This story takes place kinda crossed between Satam and Sonic Adventure 2. Scratch and Grounder also make some appearances, but I'm not doing the AoStH thing. (SA2 never happened the way it was portrayed in the game, it's history will be reviled as I go along) But yes Shadow is in it. My co-author Shadowgirl wouldn't have it any other way. Sally Sonic fans be warned Sonic may not end up with Sally you have been warned. If any one wishes to barrow the two new characters that will be introduced (Karen, and Amber) please email first, I'd like to read any that use Karen, and Shadowgirl isn't too sure currently if she's willing to share Amber ^_^ well that about wraps everything up, enjoy, oh and please don't forget to review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic and co only Karen and Amber. So please don't sue I don't want to have to give up my teddy bear!
Sonic looked over at Tails, then back at Sally, before giving a nod. "Don't worry about a thing Sal, you can bet Tails and I can get you those updated files no prob." Sonic announced with a wink.
"Just one… problem with that Sonic…" Sally said giving him a stern look.
"And what is that" he asked coolly crossing his arms.
"Tails is not going. He's way too young, he might get hurt."
Tails looked at Sally then to Sonic, "I am not too young Aunt Sally!" he whined, "I wanna help!"
"Yeah Sal come on. I'll be with him so you got nothin' to worry about."
Sally just kept her eyes narrowed at the two, "That's exactly why I am worried Sonic. But since you both insist, Sonic be it on your head if he gets hurt."
"All right!" Sonic and Tails exclaimed as they gave each other a high five.
"Well Sal we'll be back in a flash," Sonic said as he took Tail's hand "Up, Over, and Gone!" He shouted as he zipped off out of the hut and into the distance.
Sally just shook her head, those two were impossible.
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O (AN: sonic running lol ok back to the story)
Eggman, wasn't happy, in fact to say he was furious was putting it nicely. "Where is she!?" he snapped looking at all the security cameras only to see cleaning bots, swat bots… Mecha… Scratch and Grounder playing cards…. "WHAT!" Eggman hit a button on the panel in his office, "Scratch, Grounder, report to me AT ONCE!" He bellowed before removing his finger from the PA system.
His eyes narrowed as he watched the bumbling idiots start to make their way to his office, they had better have a good excuse since they were suppose to be watching her!
Scratch looked at Grounder and gulped he had not sounded happy. "Well up the door Grounder." Scratch said motioning with his wing toward the door.
Grounder just gave a are you nuts look before shaking his head, "No way I opened the door last time it's you turn Scratch."
Scratch narrowed his eyes at his 'little brother' "I said open the door!"
Grounder returned the look full force "And I told you to!"
With that the two immediately started to fight as a dust cloud enveloped them the only thing you could see was an occasional wing, arm, or head, as they both shouted and yelped when the other one made contact with a sensor.
Eggman drummed his fingers on his desk; he most defiantly was not amused. "Do I have to do everything myself?!" he grumbled before hitting another button on his desk causing the doors to open towards the hall. Eggman smirked when he heard a smash, before two very dented Robots walked in.
"Super Secret Sonic Search and Smash Squad Reporting for dut-" They started to chant, when Eggman interrupted.
"Shut up!" He barked both bots immediately closed their voice boxes. "Now what do you think you were doing?" he asked much too sweetly with a very fake smile on his face.
"Well sir," Scratch started "we were just taking our 24 hour coffee break." He puffed his chest out triumphantly.
"A coffee break?" Eggman asked with a hint of disbelief on the edge of his voice. "YOU'RE A ROBOT YOU DON'T EVEN DRINK COFFEE!" He yelled.
"Well… yah….but…..she gave us the coupon sir." Grounder supplied as he held up a small piece of paper.
Eggman narrowed his eyes as he snatched the paper from Grounders hand. It read, 'Good for 1 one hour coffee break, Eggman Robotnic' "This is obviously a forgery! If you would of used your two bit possessors you would have known that!"
"But sir that looks exactly like your signature." Scratch protested.
"Really?" Eggman asked his voice was very on edge clearly holding back suppressed rage, "Then answer me this since when do I dot my 'i's WITH HEARTS!?"
"ummmmm" both bots looked at each other and shrugged. "Regardless sir," Grounder piped up, "she did give us a direct order."
Eggman smacked his forehead and let it slide down his face, "How many times do we have to over this, you don't take orders from her, she may be your mistress, she maybe your CREATER! But! You only take orders from me!"
Both bots by now were crying their eyes out and had crawled under his desk to try and kiss his feet. Eggman just got a disgusted look on his face and kicked the nimbots acrossed the room.
Just then the doors opened, "Really Daddy, are you picking on my bots again?" a feminine voice asked playfully.
"Karen…" Eggman said softly as his gaze turned to her, "Just where have you been my dear?"
Karen smiled as she entered the room, her red eyes twinkled with mischief, as a smile spread acrossed her face, "Oh, I was just out in Robotropilis shopping." She grinned as she held up a shopping bag for him to see. "Oh, Daddy it was so much fun though!" she gushed as she flipped her mid-length orange hair over her shoulder with a shake of her head. Everywhere the light hit it, her hair took on a yellowish gleam. "I really have to go out more often." She finished smiling.
Eggman just gave his daughter a stern look, "no." he said flatly. When he noticed she was about to protest he held up a hand sufficiently silencing her. "Karen you've only been out of the base a grand total of what-"
"Two times!" She supplied
"Two times counting to day in your life time, you not to go out with out asking me for permission first, and second without an escort." Eggman looked over his daughters out fit and his eyes narrowed even more. She was clad in an off the shoulder pink top that most defiantly accented her 'assets' and a pair of gray leggings that left no curve to the imagination and showed off her mid drift. The out fit had been a present from his mother… That much was obvious… at least she had had the sense to ware her black boots that went just past her ankle that had the secret compartment containing a knife… as well as her wrist grads they were black and had her pink cameo on them and each held four specially designed throwing daggers that were literally right at her finger tips. "And why aren't you in uniform?"
She just beamed at that one, " Well Daddy, you see I didn't want anyone to recognize me with the whole I'm a secret thing I thought it was a good idea." Eggman was just about to start on other things he obviously wanted to chastise her for, so she quickly whipped out her secret weapon, "He Daddy I got you something while I was out."
Eggman just eyed her speciously, "What is it?" he asked eyeing the wrapped box.
"Why not open it?" Karen prompted.
Eggman through her one more look before ripping the paper away and tearing the box open to find…
"I got you the world." She said softly with a knowing smile on her face.
Eggman pulled out the globe and smiled "Why thank you Karen" he said genuinely pleased.
"Someday I'll get you the real one." She whispered, lowering her head a bit.
Eggman just gave a as soft as he could anyways smile before one more question poped in his head, "By the way Karen," she looked up at him upon hearing her name, "How's your homework coming?"
"Homework?" she asked innocently as she flashed him a fake smile, "I-really-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about-but-I-think-I-just-remembered-something-else-I-really-had-to-do-so-I-guess-I'll-see-you-later!" she called out behind her as she ran for it.
"Karen! Get back here!" he yelled after her.
"It's not my fault, he gave me an impossible assignment, I mean a 500 billion page essay is really too much, I've only written 3 billon." She grumbled as she continued to run until she slammed into something, "huh?" she looked up from her prone position only to see Mecha… 'great….' She thought.
