Chapter 2 Shadows (POV)

Me and Rouge finally made it Angel Island and we were now making our way to the Master Emerald alter knowing Knuckles since he always guards that rock. We caught a view of the alter enough to see Knuckles but he was not alone there was another echidna a female one to be exact. I thought he was the last echidna at the time.

"Who's the girl that's with Knuckles. Rouge glaring towards the female echidna" . Suspected a hint of jealousy coming towards her.

"I don't know but are you just going to watch or you gonna go and make your move". I said losing my patience

"Alright calm down I'm going, sometimes I think if your more of a hothead than Knuckles". Rouge said as she flew towards the two echidnas as I was following behind.

"Hey there Knuckie how have you been lately". As Rouge landed in front of them.

"Rouge what are y….wait Shadow is here with you too? Alright what's going on". Knuckles asked confusingly when he witnessed me coming towards them.

"Don't worry Knuckles we just came to see what you were up to., by the way who is this girl anyway". Rouge asked trying to keep her cool.

The female echidna steped forward." Hello my name is Tikal you must be Rouge, Knuckles has told me all about you".

"Oh really what exactly did he say about me". Rouge asked curiously

"Well mostly how you always try to take the Master Emerald but he did some nice things about you like how pretty you"…..Tikal didn't even get to finish her sentence since Knuckles stepped forward with his face all red.

"Ok alright Tikal that's enough of that. Alright Rouge what are you and Shadow exactly doing here", Knuckles demanded an answer

"Like Rouge said Knuckles we're here to see what's up with you"."Yeah right". I said quietly

Tikal started making her way towards me." Hi I don't think Knuckles told me about you what's your name?"

"I'm Shadow I already know your name so there's no need for further introductions". I said coldly

Tikal backed a away nervously going back toward Knuckles and Rouge

"Did I do something to get him angry". Tikal asked

"Don't worry hon he's always like that. By the way Knuckles we thought you were the last echidna until I saw Tikal here". Rouge asked

"I'm wondering the same thing Knuckles now spill it". I said wanting answers

"Maybe I should explain. You all are familiar with the water beast Chaos am I right". Tikal now starting to explain

"How can I forget he flooded Station Square completely". Rouge said almost not wanting to remember

"I've heard of him the creature that got more powerful by each chaos emerald he absorbs. I said

Yes you see I'm the one who sealed Chaos in the Master Emerald in the first place a very long time ago". Tikal explained

"So how is it you're here today". Rouge asked

"I'll start from the beginning. My father who was the leader of my tribe who wanted total power for the tribe came to the alter to take the chaos emeralds. Me and a group of choas tried to defend the chaos emerald but my father and some members of the tribe were to powerful so we couldn't do anything. But as they got to the alter Chaos appeared and obliterated them and then went on a total rampage. So I sacrificed myself to seal Chaos in the Master Emerald". Tikal explaining things of her past.

"Wow so how is it you're here". Rouge asked wanting to know

"When Sonic defeated Chaos he went back to his original peaceful but even though I was he was back to normal I was sad that I wasn't able to fully live life anymore. Chaos saw through my sadness now at peace he decided that he didn't need me to be sealed with him and for my sacrifice he thought I deserved another chance in life so I was set free and when I knew it I was in the alter with Knuckles". Tikal done explaining.

I just stood there surprised by this girl going through so much almost like me.

"Its great you got a second chance but life right now is not easy trust me". I said

"Thanks for your concern but I'll try to adjust". Tikal said

"I'm sure you will that's why I'm helping any way I can". Knuckles said

Then Rouge had a look on her face as she had a plan in mind.

"Why not take her to Station Square tomorrow to give a tour on modern life Knuckles". Rouge said

"Yea right and leave the Master Emerald defenseless for you to take". Knuckles said bitterly

Rouge felt hurt by that statement but tended not to show it." You don't need to worry about that Knuckie because me and Shadow will tag along too".

"Wait what I did not agree to that. What makes you think I'll go". I said not so happy about it

Rouge came up to me and dragged me to the woods.

"Look I'm trying to do something nice here for Knuckles to give Tikal a tour alright". Rouge said angrily

"You said you were going be here for the Master Emerald now your trying to set up a double date. I knew you were just here for Knuckles". I said knowing her game plan was from the beginning

"Maybe maybe not but your still going". Rouge demanded

"And what if I don't" . I asked

"Then I'll steal your weapons and chaos emerald you know I can". Rouge threatened

"Sadly I knew she could she was a professional thief after all". Had no choice but to fallow

"Fine". I said coldly

"Great now that's settled". As we were now heading back towards the alter

"So what were two talking about". Tikal asked

"Nothing"I said

"So what do say Knuckles is it a date". Rouge said in her flirty tone

"I guest if it helps Tikal but gotta call the Caotix to look after the"…"WAIT WHAT DID YOU SAY". Knuckle freaked realizing what Rouge said

"Ok we'll be here at noon and make our way to Station Square". Rouge said

"Lets go already". I was starting lose my patience

"I guest I'll see you two tomorrow, by the way Knuckie hope you bring flowers for our date tomorrow". Rouge winked as she flew off

Knuckles blushed and shouted. "Your batty"

Seconds later I left catching up to Rouge.

"Hey maybe you should get some flowers for Tikal don't you think". Rouge said

I said nothing ignoring her as we were now leaving Angel Island.
