Chapter 1: Pachacamac's Tribe

"Attack!" cried Pachacamac, the leader of the Angel Island Tribe.

The warriors all ran off into the enemy village, breaking and burning as they went. One of the warriors, Seishi, broke into one of the houses. There was the most beautiful echidna he'd ever seen. She was of a black colour, and she had white stripes on her head. She also had a beautiful golden necklace. She was cowering beside her bed, crying.

"Please! Don't kill me! My sister has been killed or captured already! I'll do anything, just don't hurt me!" she cried.

Seishi walked over to her. "Will you come with me? I'm not as bad as you might think." He grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "Angel Island has a very strong village. You'll be safe there from any harm. I'll make sure of it." Seishi smiled.

The woman blinked and nodded. "Ok . . . Thank you. My name's Takara . . . and you are?"

". . . I am Seishi. C'mon, let's go!" Seishi smiled, grabbed her hand and ran back to the tribe. When he got there, Pachacamac was not pleased with what he saw. "Are you letting us dispose of this foul enemy?" Pachacamac asked.

Takara whimpered while looking at all the warrior echidnas. "No! I am going to take her back home where she will be my wife!" Seishi growled.

"I cannot tolerate an outsider living with us!" Pachacamac stared into Seishi's angered eyes, " . . . You've always been the strange one, Seishi. Fine, she can come with us, but her only! Come! We shall leave this barren village." He turned away and everyone else followed.

One of the tribe members was of a tan colour, with black lines on his head. He had a long black ponytail, spiked boots and huge claws. "Nice work, Seishi. The army will become much greater now. Going as we are, we are advancing towards a much greater prosperity in my beliefs!"

"I'm not trying to aid your beliefs, Kiken. I'm only bringing Takara because I care for her and her safety. I'll stick to Pachacamac's beliefs, thank you." Seishi glared and began walking faster.

Kiken growled and hurried up as well. Takara took one final look at her village that was now a burning sigh, then looked forward forever.

A/N: Yay! This is my new story! It's a Sonic the Hedgehog one, if you haven't already guessed. If you have played the game Sonic Adventure for DreamCast, or Sonic Adventure DX for GameCube, then you'd understand that these people in the first chapter are all echidnas. I realzied I hadn't really said anything until I mentioned Takara. By the way, these names are all japanese and I got them from many issues of Shonen Jump. Yay! Anyway, the reason the descriptions and so on aren't that great is because I wrote this story before I wrote my big hit "Saving Agent Brown". W00T! Anyway, please R & R and no flames please!
