All OC's in this chapter belong to me, mew...
I might forget some chapter, but I'll try to remember XD: ALL SONIC CANON CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME, SEGA PWNS.
[Future City, 164 Techno Street] [6 a.m] [Third Person]
Moments as the sun rises are always slow.
Even one that doesn't love to be in the sunlight is out. She admires the color but the heat was too much for her, especially during hot summer days.
She sits upon her home roof, just thinking with legs straight forward and arms crossed behind her head. The home was quite large, three stories high and about a football field wide. Once a princess of royalty in the Dark Society is now just an outcast fitting in many mobians of different types as she calls family in an expensive home.
Adriana Angela Dark, -Adri for short- lived and still lives a well separated life from her parents. She is a black, red streaked vixen. She wears comfortable clothes, a black and grey turtle neck sweater revealing her midriff so not to get too warm. Red suspenders, dark, old jean skirt, red boots with a pattern of black and bright, neon green on the soles of her sharp boots. The petite vixen lives up to her species with a small, hourglass figure but is usually hidden by large sweater. Don't let her redden cheeks fool you for anything.
Adriana's dark tanned muzzle frowns. She's slipping off her bills again.
Her brown, fingerless gloves reaches in her right pocket, opening a wrinkled contest sheet.
The Annual Riders Festival is back in Future City!
Winners of this year's Rider Festival (hosted by Zero Eggs Inc.) will win 400,000 rings and the 7 chaos emeralds. It's on a first come, first serve so hurry now to enter!
Description:
This year would be the first year where things are going to shake up a llttle. The old, memorable tracks you all know and love will be of use again, but two teams from opposing sides would compete.
That's the new things! Only 10 teams would be accepted and the teams would be spilt again into dividing sides. The best part is that EACH team would win 400,000 rings with the 7 chaos emeralds to share upon themselves.
RULES:
Anything goes! Abilities of flight, speed, and special powers are welcomed, also powers of any sort are allowed. Weapons and even distractions of any sorts can be of use against opposing teams. But you must be in the participating team, no cheating. Disqualification will be in place for the interfering team. If the side wins or the team has already raced they will still not get the prize.
Requirements:
-You're own gear, please
-At least two chaos emeralds for first five teams
-You may be able to change your ability for your team's sake. The limit is 1, so choose carefully. Ex: if you're a speed type but want to be a power to balance your team, you are free to use power gear.
- Your belongings because you will be staying at the Zero Egg Inc., where three master bedrooms will be free for every team. With food, water, etc.
Riders, start your gears and go!
"This is perfect... 400 grand, chaos emeralds I can pretty much sell for 40,000... can't shake that odd feeling. It must be too good to be true..." Adriana mutters to herself, biting her lip and rereading the smaller print. The Zero Egg Incorporation sounds so familiar, almost mocking her how obvious it is. She still isn't sure if she should go out and ride since its been so long. She hangs her head low, her long bangs covering her face.
"Adriana? You there?" A red hedgehog whispers, popping her small head out of the attic window. She has reddish fur with blue streaks in the ends of her long, wavy hair and bangs that seems a bit spiky.
Jennifer says,"Someone's in the computer waiting for a talk with you."
Eggman?
It rattles her mind that a rounded, no class villain would want with her. She heard many things about him, in the news, television shows, books, everywhere. And most of the media involved his losses to Sonic the Hedgehog. Not one single win or threat did Eggman issue to the civilians in this city or the next or her own home land.
"Eeep!" Jenn squeels as she sees the two teens hop down the attic window where she is or was at that moment.
"Oh, wait!" Jenn stops the two from taking the stairs. She gently kicks boxes of old clothes and toys. With a loud crash from maybe a not so gentle kick reveals an elevator. "Eric just made it, but it took a while since Steel kept screwing up the wires. Gave 'em a good talking to, alright."
She didn't say a word, from the dim light of the attic her lips are in a straight line. "Come on. It's just an elevator. I'll be impressed when I can just use my voice to get me there than pressing buttons. Or! An elevator with music," Adriana shrugs, leaning on the elevator.
"With Eric, I'm betting he did." Jenn giggles.
Jennifer tries it, closing her eyes and crossing her fingers as if she wishing with great hope. "Basement!"
Ding!
The basement can be described in just two words: Sci-fi looking. The room has its color of neon blue almost, even with the lights on. The many monitors of the room usually provides enough light.
"Where is she?" Eggman demands, obviously needing to do some other things than wait for a vixen. "Does she even live here?"
Eric sighs for the fifth billion time, slumping and looking back at the others. "She's coming, just wait, dammit," Eric mutters, Eggman not hearing a word. Eric Falk is a light grey hedgehog with red and white plaid collared shirt. Ripped up, old blue jeans and bright green and black sneakers.
"It's about time." Eric calls, turning his rolling chair to the back, where the new elevator is placed. His blue tinted, sunglasses take two figures walking out. "There's still a few bugs with it, we ended up in the ball room!"
Jennifer twirls out of the elevator, with Adri right behind her. "I wanted to go to the ballroom. It works like a charm, hon!" Jenn compliments, having Eric scratch his head in embarrasment. "Heh, thanks, Jenn. What about you, Ad-"
"Helllo? Is she here now? Stop wasting time you pestering hedgehog!" Eggman bellows, a few crashes are heard in the background.
"Yeah- yes! She's freakin' here!" Eric yells back, slamming a buttom to show a full video connection with Eggman's and his cameras, steaming with the same anger.
"What do you want with us?" Adriana asks, cutting straight to the chase. She met him once before, actually fighting him herself. Eggman stole jewels that were supposed to go bought by them. In the end Eggman fought back, still losing a brain washer in the middle of ocean. He dropped some metals of junk on the five teams, everyone was safely away, with exception of Adri who felt the first blow coming down on them. She leans carefully on the controls, Eric instead let her sit on the chair. He couldn't risk anything she pressed by accident.
Eggman's postures straighten as he gets to his meeting. "I want to make a deal with the one and only leader of this joint."
Adriana's eyes narrow, just what is he smiling about that is all so amusing?
"What are you trying to say?"
"Have you heard of the Rider's Festival that's starting real soon here, in Future City?"
"Oh! I heard of it, it sounds like so much fun! We should seriously enter!" Jennifer's happy, high-pitch voice interrupted the seriousness in the room. Some glare at her for being a nuisance while others nod in agreement. Adriana shakes her head, looking back up to the baffled Eggman, trying to regain his hearing.
"Right, I heard of it." Adriana's dark tone responds, crossing her arms. She remembers the corperation who's holding it.
Zero Eggs Inc...
Maybe more people are involved with Eggman's dirty plans this time.
"Well!" Eggman laughs,"We might just have a job just right for your shadowy self!"
"She's not interested." Eric's voice interrupts this time, not liking the sound of any partnership with villains. He hates it as much as Sonic himself, he won't stand for anymore of it.
"Don't answer for her, hedgehog. What are you? Her boyfriend?" Eggman rages, he didn't want her answer influenced by her comrades that actually have a conscience.
Adriana scoffs at the question, hitting Eric on the back of his head since she sees him smiling.
"I'll tell you more of the details when I arrive at your home. You'll have the option to agree or disagree, but certainly there are many things up for grabs if you do work for me... That is all," Eggman smirks one more time at the mobians, closing the connection.
"No, no, NO!" Eric and Jenn. "You are not, by any reason hanging out with that old guy. Even if he's got a million dollars to give you!"
"B-but-"
"Think about the consequences, you'll eventually lose since we have to come and get you later"
"Not to metion he's evil! No matter what he says, it could only be 50% true -even less!" Jenn tries to reason.
"I know but-"
"Not to mention he's probably going to ditch you in the end- I would!"
"Would you guys just let me explain," Adriana quickly rages, cupping Eric's mouth. The eyes that doubt every single thing Eggman is saying, stare at her, with frowns and crossed arms. What's her reason this time? Adriana's one ear lowers at the intense glares, while the other rises high in somewhat of a sign for thinking. She releases her hand from Eric, sighing. "Look, I know I give you guys a lot of worry and-"
"Yeah, try a lot." a voice from the crowd sneers again, many hushing him after.
"Thank you." She growls, not wanting another interruption. "A lot of worry where I'm heading in life, some say jail others jueve and I really don't care about that." Adriana would get in excessive amounts of trouble. Adriana continues,"I'm just going to flat out say it -we're broke. If I work for him, I can be able to pay for last, this, and probably 2 more months of the house. Not to mention food, water, and SOME occasional shopping sprees for the guys and girls."
Jenn's head pops p up, their eyes widen in realization. Adriana shrugs, still having a blank look on her expression. "I don't know, just let me check out the deal, alright?"
Eric, raised in better grounds than Adriana when it came to choosing the right thing to do, has no tolerance for any evil. "...No, it's still a high risk we can't afford. We can just handle the money as usual. You and me will organize up missions that each one will have to go to. I know we'll have enough to pay for last and this month if we all just pitch in."
Adriana exhales, thinking for a few moments, trying to come up with an escape plan already. She shifts her blood, red eyes to Eric's stern look, revealing a sly smile.
"You're just saying that so we could spend more time together," Adri taunts, pulling Eric's collars closer to her, nose to nose. She has him almost kneel, weak on his knees.
"N-not at all! It's all for the g-goodness of our friends!" Eric stumbles, reddening. Jenn cups her mouth, looking away, giggling. These two can be so cute.
"Well, I'll be going then," she says, hearing already the sound of engines out in the front.
"No! You're not!" Eric retorts.
"That was a dirty trick..." Eric weakly argues, following her in the elevator. She presses the rooftop button, picking at her nails.
"Just because you're one year older than me-"
"You can' just make up choices by yourself, you got a team to take care of too!"
"STOP CUTTING INTO MY SENTENCES!" Adri screeches, loosing her nonchalant nature.
"I don't mean to."
"Faaa- yes you do!"
The two argue on, one hand resting on her waist, his finger jabbing her shoulder in accusations.
"You know it's a bigger deal than just currency-"
"Floor 1!" Adriana yells throughout his lectures, grinning as the elevator closes, with him barely in it since she tries to shove him out.
"Why do you still go through with this?"
"You don't need to know! Now get out!"
"Never!"
"I'm so glad you understood!" Adriana cheers, more to herself since Eric is unconscious. Adri's scythe disappears from her grasp, returning to her jeweled necklace in her pocket. She kneels down, trying to hide away the large bump on his head by covering it with more quills. He starts to stir, grasping her hands as a reflex. She holds still, a bit surprised he can wake up that fast. He doesn't seem phased at all from the strike, even more serious.
"Don't accept anything he says. You're going to regret it... one way or another," he mutters, looking down at his hands on hers. It brings a warmth of comfort 'till this day. His eyes didn't, his sunglasses were knocked out when she hit him. Whenever Adriana looks at them without his transitional sunglasses it always sets a temperature below zero. His crystal, blue eyes leer into hers, narrowing with every moment. In a second her muzzle turns a rosy pink.
She regains her own stubborness sooner or later though.
"Don't count on it," Adriana scoffs, harshly letting go of him. She stalks off and on the ship with a redder face than usual. What does Eric think we are? Holding my hands like that. He must be out of his mind, even before I hit him...
This is my choice anyway, what does he know? She thinks loudly in her head, emphasizing every word while entering Eggman's ship. The petite, lost vixen must have some bit of a conscience after all. She just doesn't like listening to it.
