Chap 2 Foiled Plans...
Angel Island; Next Morning.
Morning on Angel Island was not the best for one person. The outdoors right now were brutally harsh and freezing cold. It was harsh weather to live through but it was beautiful sight outside though. The skies were bright but you couldn't see the sun through clouds, for it was snowing. The ground covered like white cotton candy, a truly gorgeous sight, unless you were Knuckles.
He slept outside because Rouge was inside. He refused to be in the same house as her. She ended up getting the couch because Knikatu and Crystal sided with her. So he gave up and left the house because she kept rubbing it in his face that the kids took her side of the argument.
"Stupid bat..." He looked around, trying to take in the very nice sight. It was hard though with the freezing cold, suddenly a thought came to mind. He rose to his feet and made his way to Angel Forest, and went towards the lake.
"He-he." He smirked as he punched the frozen ice over the lake. He chuckled again as he fill up a bucket he had with him.
Making his way back he let the scenario play out in his head. He smiled to himself, ignoring the cold. He saw his house, and looked at the bucket in his hand. He nodded to himself reassuring himself again.
Inside the houseQuietly he walked over to couch, carefully not waking her up. She lowly hummed to herself in her sleep. She seemed to smile in her sleep.
"Dad...don't do it." Knikatu yawned. He startled his father, making him jump slightly.
Knuckles glared at him and then at the sleeping Rouge, "No! I'm gonna do it! She took what's mine!" Knuckles whispered.
"What, the couch?" Knikatu shook his head in disappointment. He sighed and went back up the steps.
Knuckles looked at Rouge; he saw her in peace, her tranquility, her beauty;
"Damn conscious." He opened the window and tossed the bucket out, making Rouge stir a little with the thud and water splashing.
Tails' House
Seven A.M., time to put the plan into action. He got up off Tails' bed, who was asleep in his lab looking for a way to send the kids back sooner; request by Sonic the Hedgehog and walked slowly out into the hallway. Sonic slid down the rail quietly not waking up Amy. He tip-toed over to the door;
"Dad why are you tip-toeing around the house?" Katie asked.
Sonic was trying to leave town before anyone noticed, "What are you two doing up so early?" He asked.
"Getting ready to go to the mall." Mac answered eating a waffle.
"At seven A.M.?" Sonic raised an eyebrow.
"Yep! We have to wait for the 'Beauty Queen' to do her hair, brush her teeth, shower, and do other stuff." Mac rolled his eyes and pointed at Katie. He took a bite of the waffle he was eating.
"Your just jealous because I'm beautiful and your not!" Mac started choking on his waffle when she said that;
"Jealous? Girl you must be outta your damn mind. Jealous of what?" Mac put his waffle down.
"Whatever! Don't tell Amy that I'm leaving!" Sonic yelled softly.
"Why not?" Amy said tapping her foot on the steps the led upstairs, "You were gonna try and get outta this weren't you?" Amy yelled.
Seriously, Sonic and Knuckles are idiots; you do what you're going to do, not wait forever and then end up getting caught or suckered by the beauty of a woman.
"I'm going to take a shower!" Katie ran up the steps as Mac sat down at the table and ate some more waffles; still not using any forks or knives.
"I'm going somewhere." Sonic said leaving for the door as well.
"Fine, but you are to be home by eight-o-clock tonight!" She yelled suddenly.
Sonic put his hand on the door handle, "Who are you to boss me around?"
"Eight-o- clock tonight...do you understand me?" Amy took out her hammer, "Because we are all going to have a get-together tonight and figure out what to do."
Sonic saw her seriousness on her face, "Fine..." He left out on one of his runs.
Cindy's Home;
A simple home. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One room was Cindy's of course; it was the only bedroom with a T.V. a large bed, two dressers and bigger closet. The other to rooms had a smaller bed and smaller closets. The room Shadow II slept in was the only extra room with a dresser.
Shadow had no complaints, one kid. He was quiet and had no problems...or so he thought;
"Shadow? Wake up!" Cindy yelled startling him up out of his peaceful slumber and onto the floor...face first.
"What is it?" He said muffled by the ground.
"Shadow, Shadow's gone!" Shadow II was gone but Shadow didn't catch that yet.
"What are you talking about? I'm right here!" If his eyes weren't red and half closed he would gave her a strange stare.
Cindy smacked her face in aggravation,"Not you! Shadow II, our son? Ring a bell?"
Shadow lifted his head, "I don't think so..." He yawned and rested his head on the floor again. He licked his lips and opened and closed his mouth, refreshing the muscles.
Cindy let out a low growl that made him give full attention, "I went to check up on him, and now he's gone!"
He groaned with his mouth muffled by the floor, "Cindy...he's thirteen, he probably went to the mall." He didn't get up, he was too sleepy.
"Shadow! It's seven thirty the mall doesn't open for another two hours!" Cindy held her head in aggravation, black boy here isn't much help.
"What do you want me to do?" He asked upon hearing her groan.
"Go look for him!"
"Maybe later...I'm tired." He let out a soft snore sound.
"Fine, you can make your own breakfast." She yelled, Shadow was in a deep stage into falling asleep;
"That's nice..." He was now in the final stage to falling asleep.
She left the house slamming the door.
It wasn't to long before Cindy found him; sitting on a rock looking at a stream's raging current.
"Hey mom." He said, he knew she would come for him...she always did. He called her an overprotective mother. "Shadow why did you leave? And without telling me o-or your father?" She sighed as she hugged him tightly.
He rolled his eyes, "Mom..." She was way too protective.
Angel Island; with red boy and the Master Emerald (8:00 am)
Knuckles was at the Master Emerald shrine, relaxed. He closed his eyes as he lay down on his side. The Master Emerald began to glow brightly, suddenly light and water came out, and Tikal and Chaos took forms;
"Greetings Knuckles." Tikal said with a smile.
"Hey..." He mumbled, he was sleepy like Shadow.
Chaos had learned something new, "Why are you sleepy?"
Knuckles had never heard that voice before. And suddenly sat and raised an eyebrow, "How did you—when—whaa?"
Tikal clapped her hands happily like a happy school girl now, "I taught him how to speak!" She squealed very proud of her accomplishment.
"Only through my mind's thoughts, you know I speak my thoughts." Chaos said in a low toned echoed voice.
Knikatu, Crystal and Rouge were sprinting for the edge of the island so they could glide down to the mainland;
"See ya dad! We're going to the mall!" Crystal shouted quickly as she jumped off the edge and going into a glide.
Knikatu ran right behind her, "Later Chaos!" He jumped off, gliding. Rouge said nothing as she did the same.
A strange silence came over them. Chaos' eyes slowly moved to the side and stared at Knuckles, with a freaked out expression. Tikal stared at him with a look that said 'I knew it';
"Dad?" Tikal asked as a wicked smile grew on her face, "Did you and Rouge—"
"No!" Knuckles yelled blushing madly.
"Hmm, how can I believe you? We haven't checked up on you in a while...plus they look just like you guys." Tikal had devilish look on her face.
"And why did she call you dad? Admit it!" Chaos said adding on to it.
Knuckles' face was redder then his fur, "Nothing has happen between me and her! You got that?" He let out a low growl, Tikal wasn't moved by it.
Tikal look like a child with an evil scheme in her head right now, "Right...then how do you explain what Rouge is doing here with two kids that have the appearance of you two?" Tikal suddenly grew shock and a bit angered, "Oh my gosh! You never invited me to the wedding! Knuckles I thought you were my friend!"
Knuckles flushed even more now, "We are not married! We are not living together! We are not doing what you think we are doing! We never did! We are not even seeing each other! These kids are from the future!" He yelled his face still red.
Tikal asked "Are they yours...and hers?" She still had the devilish smile.
Knuckles finally gritted through his teeth, "Yes...now please shut up."
"How are they from the future?" She asked very curious about that;
"They came through some time portal, apparently to warn me that in the future I will make a mistake, and die...they came here to prevent that. And because they didn't hurry up, the portal close and now they're stuck here for a month..."
"Wow...so when are you gonna tell her?" Tikal asked like it was the biggest secret ever.
"Tell who, what?" Knuckles asked having no clue what she was talking about.
Chaos let out a groan sound, "Stupid she means; Rouge, when are you gonna tell her how you feel about her."
Knuckles grew red again and started yelling again, "I have no feelings for her!"
Chaos crossed his arms and let out a chuckle sound, "Yeah right...how come you just blushed when I said her name? And when we talking about her earlier?" Knuckles had no response.
"Just tell her!" Tikal yelled out.
"I can't..." Knuckles said standing up.
"Why not?" Chaos groaned, excuses, excuses.
"It's called pride."
The Mall; With Amy, Rouge, Cindy, and the kids that I'm too lazy to write names for.
All of the girls/women were at the mall with their kids. It took the 'Beauty Queen' an extra hour to get ready. Finally when she was ready, they went on their way. Upon arriving at the mall the group divided in two. The girls headed to the clothes departments; the guys first hit the food court;
"Give me...the chicken sandwich with extra peppers and a coke." Mac ordered a twelve inch sandwich; Knikatu only had a drink he didn't eat in the mornings. Shadow II got a pizza, fries, and an orange soda. Oh and a salad: mom's orders.
They all sat at a table. They ate and bitched about the fact that they couldn't stay with their dads and do anything they wanted. Shadow II and Knikatu kept pointing and picking out girls that they said looked good. They were doing it for no reason, well till one caught Shadow II's eye;
"Hey Mac look over there." Shadow II pointed out over at an Asian food restaurant. He made Mac focus on a lime green hedgehog with blue eyes. The female hedgehog looked like his age. She had her quills in a pony tail. She waved at Mac and blew a kiss. Damn, that's a pretty strong flirt.
Mac waved back out of habit, "Yeah so, what about her."
"Go talk to her." Knikatu quickly said.
Mac didn't want to; he was so close to getting a date with Crystal, "Na, I don't think so." Mac looked at the girl again...then again Crystal said she would think about it, and didn't mean she would say yes or no. But he was trying to break his old habit, but then again, he couldn't help himself in a way, "Why not?" So talking to her at least wouldn't hurt right?
He waved for her to come over and sit down. She had gotten her food and brought her tray over. She smiled as she sat down.
"Hey, what's your name?" She had a sweet voice.
"Mac, what's yours?" He couldn't help but smile; she had a nice body and very pretty face.
"Juana." Mac grinned, Hispanic girl? This couldn't get much better.
Knikatu got up as did Shadow II, "Later man, going to the arcade. See ya." Knikatu moved his eyes in way that pointed at Juana, he whispered lowly, "Don't screw up."
The left, leaving him alone with Juana.
Knikatu ran into his mom and got dragged away with the others. Shadow II tried to speed away but his mom caught him before he could speed up;
"Man, why do we have to come along?" Knikatu whined as his sister picked out clothes. He was sitting down on top of some clothes on a display table. Shadow was next to him on the floor, with one leg stretched out.
"Yea shouldn't Mac be here?" Shadow agreed with him.
"We left him remember?"
"Oh yeah…" Shadow crossed his arms and groaned.
The girls ignored them and went into dressing rooms. Amy had picked out some pants and a white top, Crystal went in with something colored blue. Katie had something colored white and pink in her arms as she walked into the dressing room. Cindy had something black colored;
"Hey Knikatu their gone, let's run for it." Knikatu nodded, he couldn't take any more shopping. They crouched down and quickly moved through the store with S.W.A.T. team coordination. Damn, it can't be that bad can it?
They rushed to the arcade, this games graphic were horrible for them but it was entertainment. Knikatu went for one of games that dealt with sniping. Shadow II went directly for a Mortal Kombat machine. The ones in his time looked so much more life-like in his time but blood and violence is the same either way.
With in five minutes, Knikatu beat the first game, and moved on to another. Shadow II was furious. He kept hitting the Mortal Kombat arcade machine;
"Stupid thing is rigged!" He hit the glass screen.
Knikatu crossed his arms and smirked, "Shadow, admit it you can't play this."
"Oh please, you act like you're better. Well whitey, put your money were mouth is, ten dollars says you die first fight!"
Money always lured Knikatu into almost anything, "Fine, watch and learn." He took the controls.
He picked Scorpion. He was in the zone right now;
Kicking, back fire flips, teleporting and spin kicking Kitana silly. He abused the punching; he kept battering the virtual fighter, he made direct blows to her head and stomach, leaving her stunned for a few seconds. He press some controls and pulled out the sword. Knikatu used Scorpion's skills and slapped Kitana with the sword's edge. Finally he threw the sword and killed Kitana, all in a 90 second time limit.
"Fine, kill Smoke." Knikatu nodded. He used the triple punch/kick in the face combo. And again pulled out the sword. Stabbing, slicing, dicing Smoke fell.
"That's it no more using the sword!" Knikatu shrugged.
Shanstung, Sector, Reptile, Jax, all of the challengers one after the other fell.
"Okay mister tuff guy, kill her!" Shadow pointed to a new character Lika a ninja dressed female in black/blue. Knikatu looked in silence, showing some uncertainty, "Ha! I bet you fifty more that you can't beat her!"
Knikatu only smiled, "You're on!"
Lika wasn't easy to beat. Triple kick into a back kick left Scorpion with 60 points of life left. Using four of his combos combined into one and a double kick to triple punch into back kick finished of with an uppercut left Lika with 45 life points.
Knikatu used Scorpion's spear, he used it to take off life; pulled out the sword did triple stab. The third impaled into Lika, Scorpion automatically kicked her off the sword; sending her flying across the battle field and left her with 10 life points. He threw the sword when she charged at him, she backed up as it impaled into her, taking all her life points.
Blood flowed from the wound; Knikatu smirked as he finished off with a fatality. Scorpion took off his mask; the skull head opened its mouth and breathed fire; like flamethrower, it caught her instantly and sent her running around. Lika screamed aloud as the digital body burned and fell bleeding still, and died as groaned one final time.
The screen read:
Fighting style: 86541
Victories 22/22: 100000
Killings 22/22: 54874
Fatality: 75000

Total Score: 511415
Knikatu looked at Shadow II and smirked, "60, cash, no checks or credit cards accepted you hobo." He left to find the girls.
Shadow looked at the game evilly, glaring at it, "Evil! You stupid piece of shit!" He kicked the side of the machine, and smacked the glass screen.
Knikatu returned shortly and told Shadow II as it was time to leave. Shadow walked out stomping; Knikatu only laughed;
"Shut up Knikatu!" Shadow II furiously shouted.
"Shadow II, what is wrong with you." Cindy asked the child who looked like he could kill someone.
"He's just pissed cause he's broke now." Knikatu smirked
"How come?" Crystal asked.
"Well we made a bet and he lost. In short: never doubt my gaming skills, ever." Everyone rolled their eyes. Shadow II had a habit of gambling, craps, dice, poker and other things. He's only thirteen and already has gambling problems, tisk, tisk.
Crystal had a smile as she walked next to her mother carrying at least for shopping bags. Shadow II was arguing again with his mother, something about borrowing money and how she won't leave him alone. They walked into the food court area and saw a girl playing with one of Mac four spikes (Quills gelled together into a thick spike) that were combed to point forward. She was leaning towards him, across the table; he did the same. Mac chuckled with a smile as she said something.
Knikatu could hear the song 'It's Goin' Down (Yung Joc)' playing in his head as he saw Crystal grow furious. He had no clue why she was mad.
Crystal was the most shocked, she made her choice and was gonna tell him but to see him flirting with another girl made her mad very mad. She dropped her bags, "Mac!" She yelled.
He jumped out of the seat scared for his life when he heard someone yell his name with such force and rage. He popped his head just above the table and saw Crystal;
'Ah shit! Nothing I ever do works for me!'
He slowly got to his feet and walked over to her, trying to get her to understand. Then the worse possible thing happened.
Juana looked at her cell phone clock and immediately got up to leave. She didn't really try to understand what was going on with him and Crystal. She quickly got in front of him and kissed him on his lips, "Call me." She gave him her phone number earlier. She left waving and smiling.
"We'll meet up you guys later." Shadow II said leaving before he was caught in the slaughter. Knikatu ran with him, his sister's anger was worse than his mother's and father's combined.
He was face to face with Crystal's flaming aqua eyes. He couldn't find an explanation for this one. He had never feared her before, but now;
"Crystal I can explain—"
"—well you know what? You can explain it to yourself because as of now I don't give a fuck about what you want to say!" She yelled. After kicking him powerfully in the shin, she ran off, he thought he heard her sobbing.
Mac looked around as he jumped up and down holding his hurt shin and found many eyes staring at him. People saw what happen between him and her and took it as he cheated on her.
One guy stood up and flipped him off, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Mac flipped him off in return before running after Crystal. Rouge and Cindy followed slowly behind, trying to understand what just happened.
Mac walked to back to the house alone. Crystal ran on her way to Angel Island crying all the way. She thought he might have been the one who could love her. He was the only guy who was genuine with her most of the time. He always made her happy; his personally always made her warm inside, no matter how stupid. But she always hated his rumored habits, well this proved them true.
Her hope was gone, she into the house and locked the door. Cursing and yelling, praying never to see him again.
It's goin' down! Meet me in the trap, it's goin' down, meet me in the mall, it's goin' down!
