Just a little note before I get to the story. Apparently some readers are a bit confused from my previous stories as to when it's ended. Just so everyone reading will have a clear understanding, a story isn't over until I say it's over. So if you don't see the words 'The End' at the end of a chapter, then assume that there will be a new one the following week or whenever I finish the next chapter. Now onto Phantom Girls.

This story was actually an experimentation in something I call 'spontaneous writing' or sitting down and writing off the top of your head. It turned out better than I thought it would.

Let's Go!: Episode 1

"Once again in today's news our fair city has been saved by none other than Sonic the Hedgehog, world renown hero. Again he was able to stop the evil plans of Dr. Eggman sending the scientist back into jail--"

The TV was shut off immediately as Rouge sigh frustrated tossing the remote away from her. She laid back on the couch staring up at the ceiling bored out of her mind with nothing to do. The white bat had recently loss her job as a waitress and found herself spending hours alone at home. Her roommates, Amy, Cream, and Cheese, provided Rouge with little to do since they were younger than her.

Her stomach growled loudly so the bat got up and went into the kitchen. To her dismay a newspaper was on the table. The front page read in big bold letters:

TAILS RESCUES PEOPLE
TRAPPED IN ELEVATOR!

Right under the headline was a picture of the young two-tailed fox shaking hands with those he rescued. Rogue growled slightly knocking the paper to the floor and turned on the radio on the counter.

"Maybe some music would get rid of this atmosphere." the bat mumbled to herself.

But once again she was wrong. More news was on the radio as the reporter spewed out a top story of another heroic rescue.

"Early this morning police were chasing down a bank robber when suddenly the robber's car skid off the bridge and into the river. Thankfully Knuckles the Echidna was in the area and saved the robber from the car turning him in to the authorities."

Enraged and at the end of her rope, Rouge turned off the radio and threw it in the trash.

"Argh!! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles! Blah, blah, blah! That's all I ever hear in the news saving people!! Geez, even the villains are nothing but guys! When are the girls gonna get some recognition?!"

Just then the front door flew open and Amy, Cream, and Cheese hurried in with bags in their arms.

"We're back from the mall Rouge!" Amy called into the kitchen. "We even got you something."

"Just leave it in my room." Rouge called back, her head still hunched over the counter.

The girls threw the bags onto the floor in the living room and hopped onto the couch turning on the TV. Some breaking news had just come on and a female reporter was seen with numerous police cars behind her surround a building.

"This is Sarah O'Neil coming to you live from downtown in front of an office building! As you can see police cars are everywhere and the police have all of their guns drawn out aimed at a mysterious cloaked figure inside the building."

Rouge came into the living room upon hearing this and expected another heroic rescue.

"The hostages have been released but the stranger has refused to exit the building." Sarah said. "Police have ordered the stranger to come out but there has been no… wait I think I see a door opening!"

The camera zoomed in on the entrance and to everyone's surprise Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were thrown out of the building gagged and tied up. A few officers rushed in to see if the guys were ok. Apparently they had been knocked unconscious. Rogue was taken aback as Amy screamed out Sonic's name and Cream held onto Cheese. Sarah continued her report.

"I… I can't believe this. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, the city's most prominent heroes, have seem to fallen to this mysterious figure. As far as what this person's motives are, police have very little to go on. It's been reported that the person is armed and dangerous and has made no demands."

An entrance door to the building opened again and the cloaked figure stepped out with a large gun in their hands.

"The stranger has come out and police are ready to fire! They don't seem to be responding to police orders… wait they're taking off their hood…what the!?"

Another surprise to everyone. The stranger just so happened to be a pink female cat with short, white wavy hair and golden eyes.

"Wow! A girl villain!?" Amy exclaimed. "That's pretty weird don't you think so Cream?"

"Yeah it is." the rabbit responded.

Rouge was speechless yet strangely had a smile on her face. Finally a female villain has arrived to the city… but why was she there? The reporter continued on.

"I am just as shocked as everyone at the scene. This stranger who has endangered the lives of hundreds is actually a female cat! As a reporter, no words can describe what kind of shock this is to this city… wait! It looks like she's holding up a megaphone."

The pink cat had pulled out a megaphone from under her cloak and turned it on.

"This is a message to everyone in this city! I'm sure you're tired of all of these male heroes and villains running around. That is why I'm here, to give you a taste of something new! Any female out there who's daring enough to take me on, come and get me! My name is Tyra, and I'll be waiting on that female who will take me on!"

With that said, Tyra disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving everyone baffled at the scene. Amy turned off the TV speechless, as was Rouge and Cream. Just then a small giggle came from Rouge catching Amy and Cream's attention.

"What's up?" Amy asked.

"It's about time someone like her showed up. This city needs a new flavor of action." Rouge responded.

"What are you saying Miss Rouge?" Cream asked innocently.

"I'm saying that we should be the ones to go up against her." Rouge said excitedly. "Amy you want to get Sonic's attention right? And Cream, you and Cheese want to have some fun right?"

The girls nodded their heads.

"Then let's get to it! Tyra wants a challenge so we'll give her one!"

Amy and Cream agreed with Rouge and even Cheese, the small chao, let out a little shout. Things were finally beginning to change for the girls.
