Chapter 1: The Original Sonic Heroes
Knuckles burst through the open door of Sonic and Tails' house, panting hard and looking angry. Sonic, looked up, unconcerned about the echidna's sudden appearance.
"Hey Knux," Sonic greeted, "Master Emerald get stolen again?"
"Yes, and I'm sure it wasn't Rouge this time!" Knuckles growled.
"Well then, who?"
"If I knew that, I'd be chasing them down, wouldn't I?" the red echidna snarled.
"Well, yeah." Sonic shrugged. "But why're you here? Shouldn't you be out, searching for your emerald?" Sonic added a dramatic tone to the last sentence. Knuckles ignored him and went on.
"The guy said he'd give the emerald back if I met him here."
"And...Did he say why?"
"Well...no." Knuckles admitted. "It was actually on a note." Tails, who had been listening to them talk now spoke.
"So...the guy who went through the trouble of stealing the Master Emerald, said he'd give it back if you came to our house?" Tails' voice had a suspicious tone to it. But Knuckles didn't hear it and nodded. "And you didn't for a second think it was an Eggman trap or something?"
"Um...no..." Knuckles must've had the thought just as Tails mentioned it. "Even if he did try and trick us, he'll have ta get through me first." Knuckles grinned, arms crossed proudly across his chest.
"Somehow, I doubt it." Sonic whispered to his fox friend. Tails chuckled in reply.
"The note said to wait in here." Knuckles explained, sitting on a couch in front of a turned on television.
"Knux, if you wanted ta watch T.V., all ya had ta do was say so." Sonic chuckled. Knuckles ignored the blue blur's snide remark and waited contently for someone to come. After ten minutes it was dark out and someone did come, but it was not what they expected. The window broke, letting in a figure who had the shadows working to his advantage. Knuckles was the first to jump at the sound, Sonic and Tails both jumped to their feet, only to be knocked down by the intruder. Sonic searched around for a light switch while Knuckles blindly fought off his opponent. The blue hedgehog finally found the light switch, and also found himself being knocked unconscious by a cold hand, just like Tails and Knuckles had.
OoOoO
Amy, as usual, sat quietly on her couch, the phone only an arm's stretch away. She had to watch Cream that night, and Big was over for a surprise visit. Well, actually, Amy had found him roaming around on the streets, and invited him over. Amy and Cream contently watched American Idol, while Big watched, but was not sure about what he was watching.
"I bet you could do real well if you entered, Amy." Cream said with a smile.
"I probably could." Amy nodded, not at all trying to be modest. "Then Sonic would see me on T.V. and then he'd beg me ta be his girl!" the pink hedgehog swooned. The phone rang and Amy's arm shot out to pick it up. "Hello? Rose residence." She said cheerily into the phone.
"Ames? It's Sonic." The blue hero's voice came over the phone. "I'm right outside, mind if I come in?"
"Sure thing, the door's locked, I'll get it." She said, her heart pounding with excitement. Sonic, her hero, was coming over to her house. But something about the conversation seemed different. She thought about it while she went over to the door and unlocked it, as she pulled it open, she realized what had been wrong. Amy could only shriek as a shadowed figure lunged at her and pinned her to the ground. 'Ames! He never calls me that!' Amy had realized. Cream and Big rushed in after hearing Amy's scream.
"Any. What's-" Cream stopped, frozen in the door way with Big behind her. The shape, the shape of a hedgehog, it was so familiar. The hedgehog shape knocked Amy unconscious using a certain pressure point. The intruder seemed to tune his head and stare at the two remaining. His eyes glimmered a glowing crimson. Before either mammal had tame to run, the hedgehog figure jetted forward and knocked Cream unconscious, just as he had Amy. Big, now the only one left standing, shook violently, but brought out his trusty rod to defend himself. However, the hedgehog intruder flew past the rod with grace and knocked the over-sized cat unconscious with his friends.
OoOoO
Down in Club Rouge, Shadow, Rouge, and O-mega hung out on the top floor of the club; Rouge's personal suite. Neither Shadow or O-mega seemed interested in what Rouge was saying, so she gave up and picked up a magazine to read. O-mega was doing something technical, and Shadow was staring deeply into the green emerald he went no where without. Rouge looked up from her 'Your Diamonds and You' magazine (The magazine title is from Snow Miser's 'Murder on Mobious II'. I just thought the title was hysterical, so I'm gonna borrow it.). Her gaze instantly went to Shadow, her face clouded with concern.
"Shadow...you okay?" she asked. Shadow didn't answer; he only continued to stare into the gem. "Shadow, I asked you a question!" Rouge growled, "You could at least humor me!" The black hedgehog still didn't answer. "Shadow the Hedgehog! Answer me, now!" Rouge yelled, threateningly stomping over to Shadow. She was knocked down saw a figure jumped in through the window and knocked her to the ground hard. Rouge looked shocked as she hit the ground. 'How'd he get up here!? We're up about two stories!' The intruder left Rouge lying on the ground and snatched the green emerald from Shadow's hand. This brought him back to reality and he jumped on the new holder of the emerald. "Yeah, when it's your precious emerald, it's personal, but when it's you friend, who cares?" Rouge snapped at the tussling two.
"Not now, Rouge." Shadow growled.
"Not now!? Don't tell me what is and isn't now!"
"Can we talk later?" Shadow's air supply was slowly being cut off by a bundle of cords the attacker had decided to use to his advantage.
"No! You're gonna blow me off, just like every other time!" Rouge growled.
"Rouge! Can't you see I'm busy!?" Shadow yelled, throwing down the intruder and glaring hatefully and the bat with the same stare pointed at him. The attacker used this at his advantage and knocked the so called 'Ultimate Lifeform' to the ground and holding a cloth over his mouth, causing the hedgehog to drift off to sleep. The shadowed figure easily did the same with Rouge and broke open the back on a charging O-mega and jammed a screwdriver into his circuit board.
OoOoO
Espio and Vector were going through some last minute details of a case they had just solved, just be sure they didn't make a mistake. Charmy had long since been sent off to bed and the girls were already at their apartment, sleeping soundly. Vector yawned loudly.
"Everything right?" he asked after the yawn ended.
Espio nodded approvingly, "yep. Everything's right."
"Good, I wanna sleep." Vector said heading off for his room. A sudden knock on the CDA's door woke Vector up. He turned on his heels to watch the door, no one came this late, and they were closed anyway. There was a sign on the door saying so to anyone who came by. Espio looked over to Vector.
"Should we answer it?" the chameleon asked. Vector didn't answer; something about the sound the knock made, maybe a metallic sound. The crocodile mentally listed everyone he could think of with a metal hand. Only a few came up, but it didn't last before the door was blown off its hinges and into Espio. The chameleon fell down with the door, leaving Vector an open target for the one who blew off the door. He charged forward at the green detective. But Vector was ready and threw the first punch. It connected and pain rushed into Vector's fist. The attacker lunged at Vector and clawed at the croc's stomach. He couldn't dodge in time and had to take the attack. He pressed a hand tightly against the fresh wound and went back into battle. Espio, who managed to push the door and other debris from the door, showered the intruder with Kunai and ninja stars. Several hit, but didn't seem to affect him. He turned his crimson gaze toward the ninja chameleon, and rushed toward him. Espio was ready and blocked the hand coming at his head, actually, Espio could see that the hand was actually a claw. He pushed the intruder away and pulled another kunai out, but never had a chance to use is before the intruder had him out cold on the ground. Vector, who had been watching the scene, knew he had to fight to protect his passed out friend and the sleeping Charmy. His plan didn't fare so well, in a matter of time, Charmy came out because of the noise.
"Vector?" Charmy asked sleepily, "What's happening?" the bee asked.
"Charmy! Get back in there!" Vector demanded, turning his head to look at the half-asleep bee. The shadowed hedgehog took his chance and hit Vector from the side, using the same technique he had used to subdue the chameleon. Now only Charmy was left, wide awake by the sight of the attack. He did as Vector had told him, and flew into her room and slammed the door as the intruder flew at him. The attacker slammed into the door. While he clawed and pounded the door. Espio was now waking up and dragged himself to Vector's desk. His vision was poor, but he could see enough to get help. Espio knew better then the call for help if the intruder was right there, so he quickly typed a note on the computer. The screen was black, but Espio knew they were in a document. They tap of the keys wasn't heard by the hedgehog attacker. Espio couldn't finish his cry for help before he passed out and hit the ground. By then, the intruder had broke into Charmy's room and carried the unconscious bee out, and collecting the other two.
If anyone can tell me who's kidnapping the Original Sonic Heroes, you get a vritual cookie! And it shows just how observant you are!
