Hey everyone! Here is the first of many chapters for this story. I have many/too many ideas for this story so it should be good! So, yeah! ...Well...Here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic or Tails or Knuckles or Amy or Rouge or...you get the point. They rightfully belong to Sega. I only own Thunder, the plot, and Dr. Eggman's binoculars! XD
Anyways, please enjoy, R&R and, have a wonderful day!
Rouge the Bat watched in secret as Dr. Eggman did absolutely nothing. He was just sitting there; or was he? Staying hidden, the 18 year old mammal realized that the Evil Doctor was looking at the sky through a pair of high tech binoculars that he probably made himself.
It had been a month since Sonic and the Crew watched as their human friend, Chris Thorndyke, blasted into the sky and was sent back to earth in a small rocket. Once Chris was gone, Eggman announced that he was going to build the Eggman Empire. And he definitely tried, for about three weeks. But in the past week, nobody had seen him and that's why Rouge came to investigate.
After about five minutes of watching the Doctor search the sky, Rouge flew back to Tails' shop to report her findings.
"Really? He was just sitting there!?" Amy Rose asked, not believing her ears. "Staring off into space?"
"Yeah! I was just as shocked." Rouge replied.
"It's not like Chris is going to come back anytime soon. Do you think that he's looking for someone else?" Tails wondered aloud.
"That or he is built up forces for defence in the future." Sonic suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement. Tails thought that it would be a wise idea if they advised Knuckles of their suspicions, so Sonic dashed off to do so.
Knuckles had been taking a brief nap when he heard footsteps way too close to the Master Emerald for his comfort. He jumped up only to see someone standing right next to the large gem.
"Stop right there you thief!" Knuckles almost screamed at the dark figure. The creature stopped then started walking towards the echidna.
"I assure you I'm no thief!" the girl corrected. She was a hedgehog and looked almost exactly like Sonic only her fur was dark grey in color and her eyes were a bluish grey. Knuckles rolled his hands into a fist as he got into a fighting stance.
"How about you tell me your name before I throw you out of here!" he threatened. She wasn't intimidated at all.
"I'm Thunder the Hedgehog," she charged at him. "and you will pay for accusing me of theft!"
With the two running at each other, Knuckles brought his arm up for a punch but at the last second Thunder jumped, grabbed the echidna from behind and tossed him down the altar stairs. While the echidna was taking the tumble, she chased him down, then side kicked him at the bottom.
"Like to fight dirty I can see!", Knuckles exclaimed, getting up with his back to the hot sun, scanning his tough opponent. Her eyes were quite serious but she looked as if she was having fun fighting him.
Shaking off the thought, he caught her off guard, pinned her against the stair wall and punched her before she could block or dodge. She groaned slightly as she took the blow to the face. But during her recovery, Knuckles saw her grabbing something behind her and mumble. Suddenly, she was behind him and sent an aerial roundhouse kick to his shoulder. He didn't really want to fight her. He would rather be sleeping, but he also knew that she wasn't going just to leave. Quickly getting up, Knuckles had an idea but he had to find one of two specific trees. He knew where they could settle this.
A while back, he had attached a tree to the sides of two other trees, creating an immense bridge. He spotted it and made a mad dash towards it with Thunder following closely behind.
The red creature stopped climbing for a few seconds to let Thunder catch up a little bit. He noticed her stop and grab something again but this time he saw what it was. It was a Chaos Emerald! Thunder took a few deep breaths before saying,
"Chaos Control!" Knuckles gasped then looked up to see the smirking hedgehog on the top of the bridge, her red streaked arms crossed. 'Who does she think she is? Does she really think she can defeat me?' He dashed to the top and explained his plan before he was attacked.
"We end this here! First one to fall off has to leave." he panted. Thunder nodded then smiled,
"Overconfident much!"
"What did you call m-?" Knuckles was cut off by a foot to the gut. He managed to keep his balance and land an attack to her upper arm. They both instantly charged at each other, determined to stay on. But before they were close enough to attack, Thunder was shoved off by something or someone. Knuckles heard her land hard just before he was pushed off himself.
As he slowly stood himself up, Knuckles saw Sonic standing in between them. He also saw Thunder racing towards the blue hedgehog, ready to attack.
"Sonic, behind you!" the Echidna warned. The male hedgehog whipped around and roundhouse kicked the girl in the head. She fell to her hands and knees, breathing heavily from the shocking impact.
"Give it up Thunder." Knuckles commanded. He was answered with a look that said, 'What? No way! Surrender is not an option!'
"Why were you trying to steal the Master Emerald?" Sonic asked the grey hedgehog, knowing that that would be the only reason Knuckles would leave his post.
"It's none of your business!" she snapped, still breathing hard. Sonic knew that he couldn't have a proper conversation with her if she was in a battle state of mind, so he kicked her again. Thunder managed to stand as she sighed through her clenched teeth, trying to ignore the piercing pain that shot through her ribs. Knuckles didn't see the cocky pleasure in her eyes that he saw before, but now, more like an embarrassing fear that she was trying to hide.
The boys kept their distance while their opponent closed her eyes, trying to decide what to do next. Showing a regretful frown, she opened her eyes and tried to run away. A painful discomfort filled Thunder's body as she fell to her knees again, not needing to turn around to know that it was Knuckles who had punched her. A few seconds later, Sonic appeared and brought his foot back for another blow.
"C-chaos Cont-trol." Thunder murmured then reappeared about 150 feet away, heading back towards the Master Emerald. Leaning against a tree, the young hedgehog waited for several minutes for her attackers to return. When they didn't, she slowly managed to push herself to her feet. She stood there a few minutes to recover a little bit, but that few minutes turned into less than one minute when she saw Sonic and Knuckles dashing towards her. She got into a sluggish fighting stance, hoping to at least lighten the blows a little bit.
"Now listen! Either surrender or I'll make you surrender!" Knuckles offered one last change as she unknowingly walked back towards a 95 foot cliff. Sonic nodded to Knuckles when he saw no signs of her giving in. The Echidna's fist shot at Thunder's face but he and Sonic ran to the cliffs edge. They watched Thunder fall from a large boulder to a skinny ledge and so on, landing unconscious at the bottom.
So there it is! I hope you liked it and please review! Thanks!
