Author's note: This is my first Sonic the Hedgehog story. It is also my first Shadouge story (Shadouge forever!). I don't own any characters unless they are my OCs. Enjoy!
Lights from towers were shining in the night. Robots were guarding the giant door leading to the base. In the shadows, Shadow, Omega, and Rouge were hiding.
"Pinpoints show that security is controlled by password input system next to the door," Omega told his team, "Hacking system…"
"This is Team Dark," Rouge talked into a walky-talky of the G.U.N. Commander, "we're about to head into Eggman's base."
"Security successfully hacked," Omega told his team. The robots shut down, the lights went off, and the door opened, "It will stay hacked for three minutes."
"Ready…" Shadow told to his teammates, "and go!" Shadow and Omega rushed to the door while Rouge flew over it. Rouge threw bombs over the light towers to destroy them so when security comes back on, they won't be any help for Eggman. When all three were in the base, security came back on and the door slammed.
"We're in the base," Shadow told his Commander, "and based on where we're at, the Chaos Emerald should be about 4.6 miles in."
"Alright," the Commander responded, "Team Dark, Eggman has upgraded his technology significantly. As soon as you get the Chaos Emerald, get out of there!"
"Alright." The team then ran further in the base, destroying every robot they saw. While the robots did have better armor and weapons, they were no match for this team's power. Then they reached the place where the Chaos Emerald was.
"We've reached the Chaos Emerald," Rouge told the Commander, "we're about to-" She cut off when an earthquake started shaking the base. The roof was starting to crumble and pieces were falling to the floor. All 3 were dodging falling objects when a giant one was about to fall on Rouge. Right before it fell, Shadow jumped and grabbed her, keeping her in his arms. They both stared in each other eyes, even when Shadow put her down. They stopped when Eggman came.
"Well if it isn't Team Traitors!" Eggman shouted at them.
"Eggy," Rouge called him, "It's great to see you again. If you could just let us get Chaos Emerald, we'll be on our way."
"I'd rather give you this!" Eggman then pushed a button and three pairs of shackles lunged after Team Dark. Shadow was able to destroy the pair that went after him, but the other two were able to get Omega and Rouge. Then, the floor underneath the two revealed magma underneath them.
"Now, Shadow, I hope you can defeat my newest creation in under 10 minutes! If you don't, you can kiss your friends good-bye! Now, meet my newest creation!" After he said that, a giant robotic dragon flew from the skies and onto the piece of land Shadow was at. It blew fire at Shadow as he barely dodged it. Shadow then ran around the dragon, trying to find its weak spot as he dodged every one of its attacks. After 2 minutes had passed, Shadow found a Chaos Emerald on its head.
"I have to get that Emerald out of that dragon," Shadow thought to himself as he looked at the tail, "and I think I know how." Shadow then jumped on the wall as the dragon stared at him. He then kept jumping until the dragon got confused, giving Shadow a chance to jump on its tail. He then climbed up on it and reached its head. Shadow then grabbed the Emerald, trying to pull it loose from the dragon's head, but as he did, the dragon shrieked and ran around the place, forcing Shadow to hang onto the Emerald until it finally popped loose after 1 minute. As Shadow fell he used Chaos Control to reach land safely. He then threw Chaos Spheres at the shackles holding Rouge and Omega. He then used Chaos Control to grab them both and get them on land.
"No! It couldn't have been defeated!" Eggman shouted as the dragon fell. He was so angry that he didn't notice Rouge take the Emerald and give it to Shadow as he used Chaos Control.
Shadow had teleported them to Club Rouge and stood there for a while with his eyes closed as Omega and Rouge talked to the Commander.
"We have the Chaos Emerald," Rouge told the Commander, "We also ruined Eggman's base."
"Alright then. Good work, Team Dark," the Commander told her, "Make sure to keep the Chaos Emerald safe."
"We will, Commander. Team Dark, out." All three then headed inside Club Rouge. "Well, I don't know about you two, but I am beat."
"I feel fine right now." Shadow told her.
"What about you, Omega?"
"Preceding to Sleep Mode." Omega said.
"I guess that answers my question. Hey Shadow, before I go to my room, I have to ask you something." Rouge told the black hedgehog.
"You can ask me anything." Shadow told her.
"Well, today, at Eggman's base, when we looked each other in the eyes…"
"Are you saying that you have feelings for me?"
"…Yes. Since we first met, Shadow, I have been in love with you. I love you more than all of the gems in the world. And nothing can stop that." Shadow didn't know what to say. He has had feelings for Rouge as well, but he didn't think that she would also like him. But she does. She does like him. Actually, she loves him. He loves her too.
"I might as well tell her since she feels the same way," he thought to himself, "No. I have a better idea."
Shadow didn't realize it had a minute since Rouge told him. She was wondering if he didn't feel the same way. Right before she was going to ask him, Shadow kissed her. It was unexpected for her, but she immediately closed her eyes when he kissed her. They both moaned minute after minute as it lasted. Then, after about 4 minutes, Shadow let go.
"Does that answer your question?" Shadow asked her.
"I think it does," Rouge answered back, "Come upstairs."
The next morning, Shadow and Rouge were lying in Rouge's bed. Shadow woke up first and gently kissed Rouge's head.
"Are you awake?" Shadow quietly asked.
"I am now." Rouge told him in a whisper. They both got out of bed and put on a little bit of clothing. Rouge put on a black robe, while Shadow wore a black shirt and some blue pants. They both headed down where they saw Omega on the couch, watching the Tech Channel. He turned when he saw the two and said, "Good morning, Rouge and Shadow."
"Morning, Omega." Shadow and Rouge told him.
"Hey, Shadow," Rouge told him, "later today, do you want to head to the park to just hang out?"
"I'd enjoy that very much." Shadow told her. He kissed her head, and then he sat on the couch with Omega while Rouge started making breakfast.
"Also, I got out of Sleep Mode three times last night. Is there something going on between you 2?"
"Well, Omega, Rouge and I told each other we like each other and one thing led to another, and…"
"…I actually expected this." Omega told Shadow and Rouge. Shadow and Rouge then let out some chuckles and breakfast was served.
