Chapter One
Willow the Panther, and his brother Scorch, ran through the ruined streets of Tazza. There were no other signs of life, except for them.
"We need to find the entrance to where they were keeping her," Scorch explained as he dragged his brother along the streets. "We need her help."
"Not to mention she's family." Willow growled "We're not just freeing her because she needs to kill something."
"If that were true," Scorch snarled "Then why wasn't she freed earlier?"
Willow narrowed his sharp blue eyes and didn't answer. Scorch, decked out in long leather boots and gloves, dodged debris that littered the streets, whilst Willow ungracefully jumped out of it's way, trying to keep his rectangular glasses on.
Scorch suddenly halted.
"What's wrong?" Willow looked around.
"We're being followed." Scorch breathed, one moment before pushing Willow out of the way and rolling away himself. Yellow spears of energy pierced the ground where the stood a moment ago.
A black-and-red enemy stepped into view, his eyes merciless. "Stay still!" He growled. Scorch's gloves snapped and blades unsheathed. He ran towards the hedgehog, swiping at him. The enemy easily dodged the blades, moving to the side. He grabbed Scorch's arm and twisted it, kicking the grey panther in the stomach.
Scorch rolled on the ground, skidded for a moment, than was instantly back on his feet and running at the one who killed his planet. "Why won't you just disappear?" Scorch hissed as he almost managed to cut open the hedgehog's already scarred chest.
Scorch watched him grin and... disappear. Before he could even wonder where he had disappeared to, Scorch was kicked in the back of the head by the enemy. He fell to the ground, flat on his back. The panther rolled out of the way as a foot came slamming down where his head just was. Concrete flew in all directions.
"You fight pretty well," Scorch taunted as he backed up. "But can you beat me, or is this a pointless fight?"
The hedgehog crossed the space they had between them in the blink of an eye. Before Scorch could protest, Scorch was being held up by the throat. His feet dangled below him as the hedgehog glared up at him with one deadly red eye.
"Scorch!" Willow called from the sidelines, trying not to get into this fight.
Scorch wheezed, trying to breath as the gloved hand that was wrapped around his neck tightened. He narrowed his eyes and used the hidden blades in his gloves to cut the hedgehogs cheek open. Blood sprayed and Scorch fell to his feet. He coughed, took a breath, and got to his feet. The hedgehog had has hand to his cheek.
Leaping at the enemy, Scorch knocked him over and pulled out a dagger, bringing it to the throat of this monster. "Die!" He hissed through gritted teeth. As he started to pull the blade across the hedgehog's throat, Scorch fell. "Damnit!" Scorch cursed. The hedgehog disappeared again, this time from underneath him.
"BEHIND YOU, SCORCH!" Willow's voice broke the empty silence.
But it was too late. An elbow cracked against his skull. Scorch fell to his knees, his head stinging. The hedgehog pressed his hand against Scorch's chest and pure energy-type-electricity coursed through him. Scorch's back arched, screaming in pain. The pain was excruciating. He'd never felt anything so utterly horrible in his life.
"GET OUT OF HERE, WILLOW!" Scorch screamed, thinking only of his brother's safety. Scorch's voice echoed through out the empty city. As he backed away, Willow watched the hedgehog crush his brother's chest with his foot. It only took one brutal step...
Willow followed his brother's instructions, wondering why the hedgehog wasn't following him. Above head, the black panther heard a ship.
"Shadow, report back to us now. This planet is finished - There is no further work needed here." A Metarex voice echoed.
Willow ducked into the debris of what used to be a building. Scorch!... Scorch, we had gotten so far! How could this happen! I.. can't do this alone! He panted, scared and tired.
"There is one more, Dark Oak. One that wasn't destroyed." The hedgehog's voice answered the Metarex.
"Leave it, Shadow. It will die off sooner or later."
Shadow... Willow thought bitterly to himself. I will get you for this, Shadow the Hedgehog. Me and Byrch will.
After a couple of moments of waiting, Willow decided to continue moving.
He was going to free his sister and wreak revenge on every damn enemy that did this.
He promised himself this. He promised Scorch this.
About a week ago, the heroes aboard the Blue Typhoon had saved a tiny planet full of squishy little creatures that kept one of the Chaos Emeralds hostage. They now have that Chaos Emerald, along with another one they found on a barren planet that was beyond their help.
Several days before that, one of the heroes abandoned the rest. Nobody knows why, but I'll tell you this - I intend on finding out.
Shine the Hedgehog stood on the runway of the Blue Typhoon, her arms crossed, staring into the abyss of space. Her brother, Shadow the Hedgehog committed an unforgivable act: Treason. He switched teams when needed most, and lied to his own friends. Now? He was going to pay for it.
Katherine Appallo Karma walked out and joined her sister-like friend. "Are you thinking about him, too?"
"Yes." Shine growled, anger souring her already dark mood. "I can't help but wonder what he's up to. Who is he betraying now? Who is he lying to? I want to know - And I'm not going to be waiting for much longer to find out."
"When we find him... are we going to kill him?"
Shine didn't answer. She didn't need to. They both knew the answer.
"When we find him," She snarled after a long silence. "We're going to ask him what was going through his head. Face to face - Not through a computer." She lifted her chin. "We're going to find out once and for all why he did what he did. He can't hide forever."
"You used to tell me how your brother was brave and stupid at the same time." Kat murmured. "Is this one of those moments?"
Shine hesitated. One of those moments, was on the A.R.K., when Shadow would take help from no one unless Maria allowed it... "Yes." Shine growled after a while.
"Blue Typhoon, attention! We have found a Chaos Emerald!" Tails' voice echoed from the ship. Shine narrowed her eyes, grabbing Kat's hand and teleporting to the ship's bridge.
Tails the Fox sat in his piloting chair looking up at a tracker on the screen of the ship. "It's somewhere down there." He announced, pointing at the screen. "The planet is called Tazza."
Shine glared at the screen. There didn't appear to be any wild-life or plant-life on the tracker. "I think this planet was attacked already, Tails."
"It was." Chris Thorndyke informed her. "And not too long ago, by the looks of it."
"How long ago?"
"Approximately a day."
Shine looked at the screen. "...Bring us down there, Tails. Now."
"What's wrong?" Tails asked. "Other than the obvious, of course."
Shine straightened her back. "If there's a chance that Shadow and the Metarex are still down there, I don't want to pass up on it. I don't care if we aren't at full strength. We can at least weaken them."
Tails watched her for a moment, then nodded. Cosmo, at that same moment, walked into the bridge. "Another Chaos Emerald?" She asked. She was looking straight at Shine.
Shine nodded, but said nothing.
The room was silent for a moment, then Katherine shifted her feet and glanced over at the young Plantarian who was watching them all expectantly with curious green eyes.
Kat spoke for her friend. "And a chance to kill her brother."
