Chapter One
Note: I decided to write this chapter fanfic because I simply just want to get away from the Robotboy fanfics. Anyway I don't own any of the characters in this story apart from Emilie. Sonic and Co belong to Sega and SonicTeam.
It was a dark and stormy night in Station Square. A young girl lay awake in her bed. She lived in a small apartment that her mother had bought. The girl couldn't sleep at all that night her mother had left on a trip but she never returned. The girl was shaking from fright as he eyes scanned the dark bedroom which light up every minute or so as a lightning flashed in the sky. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted the shadows of three figures outside of the window and she let out a small whimper as she curled up into a ball her back facing the window. She faintly heard the window of her bedroom open but she didn't turn to look at who it was afraid it might be a robber.
The girl heard 6 pairs of footsteps near her bed and she tensed. Then she heard the silent conversation that had been unnoticeably going on between the three.
"—think you're doing want to give this kid a heart attack?" She heard one say.
"Don't worry the kid won't make a peep." She heard another one say. They where right besides her bed now and she cringed.
"I don't want any part of this…why did you even bring me along." She heard the last one say. She noticed that they all had a range in tones and she also noticed that they where all male.
She felt something poke her back and she tensed even more.
"Come on wakey wakey." The creature that had poked her said as he started poking her again. She whimpered again and slowly peeked over and came face to face with a certain blue hedgehog hero and she screamed since it was too dark in the room to identify the intruder. She scooted away frantically until she fell out of the bed with a yelp.
"I told you so." She faintly heard one of the intruders say. She quickly went to flip on the lights and nearly screamed again when she took a good look at the three intruders.
"What are you doing in my house…get out." She said frantically as she went over to grab a bat that lay at the foot of the bed.
"Easy there kiddo." Sonic said appearing unphased by the bat the girl now held after all he had faced bigger threats that a mere baseball bat.
"What do you want?" She said cautiously stepping closer but not letting go of the bat.
"You're in danger…there's something in your house that our enemy wants…now I have no idea how it got here." Knuckles was the one who spoke now. The red echidna seemed to be taking things calmly as he did not want to frighten the girl more than she already was.
"I don't know what you're talking about there's nothing here." She said puzzled looking around for anything that was worth taking.
"We say otherwise kid." A certain ill humored black and red hedgehog spoke up making her back away. Sonic shook his head and stepped towards the frightened girl.
"Don't listen to mister grumpy pants here." Sonic said as he extended a gloved hand towards the girl. The girl was not much taller than Sonic or the other two in the room considering her age. She looked at Sonic hesitantly.
"What's your name?" The blue hedgehog asked.
"M--- My name is Emilie." The girl said.
"Well nice to meet you Emilie...you probably know who we are right?" Sonic asked tilting his head to the side. Emilie nodded.
"Yeah I do." She whispered less hesitantly. "You can search the apartment and see if you can find what you're looking for." Emilie sat down on her bed well aware that Shadow was still standing by it. She felt nervous in his presence and decided it was best just to not look at the black hedgehog. She sat waiting while the other two search her house for the precious Chaos Emerald that lay hidden somewhere. Emilie took quick glances at Shadow who in turn pretended that she wasn't there. Little did they know that Dr. Eggman was on his way to the girl's residence at this very moment.
After a few minutes of silence she swore she heard a loud thumping sound getting closer and closer.
"Can anyone hear that?" Emilie asked and everyone stopped what they where doing to listen. Apparently they heard it too but before anyone could do anything the wall was burst to pieces as what appeared a metal hand went through the wall crushing anything in its path. Emilie screamed loudly and clung to the nearest thing to her which happened to be Shadow.
"Damn…that was fast." Sonic said as he eyed the girl who was at the moment clinging to a very annoyed black and red hedgehog. The mechanical hand searched the place destroying anything and everything, it stopped inches in front of Shadow who stood unphased by this but was more annoyed with the human girl that was now shaking with fear against his side.
"Shadow!" Sonic yelled to catch the other hedgehog's attention. Successfully the other turned to look at Sonic.
"What?" Shadow asked a slightly annoyed tone was noticeable in his voice.
"Take the chaos emerald and Emilie and go somewhere safe!" Sonic yelled as he tossed the chaos emerald that Knuckles had found at Shadow, who in turn caught it and looked questioningly at the blue hedgehog.
"Why do I have to take the girl to safety why don't you?" Shadow grumbled.
"Just do it Shadow we're running out of time." Sonic said a he pointed to the large machine outside. In the cockpit of the machine sat a very enraged Dr. Eggman.
"Fine…but you'll pay for this." Shadow muttered as he raised the chaos emerald.
"Chaos Control!" Shadow said and with a flash of light both he and the girl were gone along with the chaos emerald. Knuckles nudged Sonic of the side which caused the blue hedgehog to turn and look at him questioningly.
"Sonic why'd you leave that girl alone with Shadow? Who knows what he will do to her." The echidna sounded very annoyed as he did not trust the black and red hedgehog.
"I don trust him with her either but it had to be done…now lets focus on the task at hand." Sonic replied as he pointed in the direction where Dr. Eggman's machine was.
