My name is Rouge the bat. I'm a Sorean. A Sorean is a being who feeds on blood to survive. I guess the closest being you would know of to what I am is a vampire. We can also grow bat wings, but I'm already a bat, so that does nothing for me. My best friend Shadow, a black hedgehog with red highlights, prefers to run, but sees all methods of travel as a means to an end. There's also his little buddy Silver, a white hedgehog, who has psychic powers.
I was doing my nails when Shadow came for a visit. "He got away again." He said. I don't answer right away, but he knows not to interupt me.
When I finished with my nails I asked him, "What do you want me to do about it?"
He facepalmed and said, "He was running towards the Fortress."
That makes me get serious. "Go get Espio. I'll wait for you outside." As I walk towards the entrance, I think back to something our queen said a while ago.
'There are many people in the world who want us gone. They call us monsters. This is why we keep to ourselves. And yet… There is one who repeatedly breaks into my castle and causes trouble. We have done nothing to this boy, yet he continues to harass us. Next time you see him around here… apprehend him and bring him to me.'
This was the 7th time this month he got in the castle. I began to fear he was out to destroy us, but a thought ran through my head. 'He would've done something big if that were the case. All he's done is steal. He hasn't bombed anything, so should we be treating him as a terrorist? He steals,but it seems as though he's searching for something… or someone.'
I meet up with Shadow and Espio, a purple chameleon, outside of our town, and we start running towards the GUN Fortress. The 3 of us are agents of GUN, so we're going to make sure that this boy isn't messing with anything important.
When we get there, we see the agents struggling to deal with a blue hedgehog and red echidna. As I watch the echidna, I blank out for a second. But I quickly get a hold of my self. Espio disappears, and I whispers in my ear, "There are more intruders in sector 5." Shadow and I make our presence known. "Hey! What's all the noise for?" They were very relieved to see us.
"Agent Shadow! Agent Rouge! Thank God you're here!"
"These boys are a distraction. Shadow will take a squad to apprehend the other intruders."
"How do you know there are others?" His voice sounded so cool, but I had to stay focused. I can't blow Espio's cover, so I think of something likely.
"There's this amazing new invention called the camera." He looked a little flustered and tried to come up with a retort. He kinda looked cute. I looked past him and saw Shadow fighting the hedgehog. I look back at the echidna and see him regain composure.
"I'm done talking to you. But if you want, I'll let you talk to my fist!" He was about to charge at me, but I interrupt him.
"But we didn't really talk. I'd like to get to know you better. What's your name? Have you ever had a girlfriend?" that embarases him again. He looked funny, but I really wanted to talk.
"Why would you ask that!?"
"No real reason."
"Alright. Now I'm angry!" He then rushed at me fist first, but I simply flew up above him.
"Whaa?" He ran face first into a wall and fell unconscious.
I landed, then saw him disappear before my very eyes. "What just happened?"
"The blue hedgehog disappeared as well. They must have friends on the outside."
"Or our destructive friend has gotten them" Espio appeared next to us.
"How do you know it was him?" I asked.
"I saw him with a yellow fox. They both disappeared in front of me."
"Hmm… he must be more powerful than we expected."
"Oh well." I said. "Let's head back."
Shadow gave me a look. "Aren't you the one who always tells me to make sure the other agents are ok?"
"Oh right! Let's go you guys."
"Nah. You 2 can handle it. CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow disappeared before our eyes.
"I thought he would've left that emerald at home."
Espio looked where Shadow disappeared and left for the soldiers.
