Yes I do know that I haven't gotten a single review. I only added this chapter because I thought that you people who are reading this would review after getting another chapter to read.
Over a thousand years ago humans had finally advanced to a point where they were nearly immortal. They neglected the environment and for it they paid the ultimate consequence. A great flood engulfed the world and most of the human population. Their so called 'technology' had failed them once their source of energy was destroyed by the floods. The only survivors were a handful of humans and several species of animals. As time passed the flood waters evaporated and eventually one of Earth's continents began to reemerge from the receding water. The animals who had been living on a small island, migrated to the continent and they started to repopulate the land. Secretly some individuals started to breed with those of a different species. This paved the way to the growing problem of hybrids. The hybrids were ostracized for many reasons, one of which was the fact that most of the hybrids were winged as many of the remaining animals were either land animals or pure blooded flyers. Eventually several hybrids separated from the rest of the world and they established their own colonies. As their numbers grew they called themselves pure-bred and so refused to associate with any hybrid that wasn't born in one of their cities. The remaining humans were assassinated by the descendants of the hybrid founders and the remains of human tech were used to create floating cities known as the Winged Citadels. The land animals did the same and they developed normal cities called Terran Capitals.

Three years later...(present day)
Prometheus growled as several Winged Police chased him and Zeus.
"Damn it why won't they leave me alone!" Prometheus hissed as he pushed a low branch away.
"Maybe because a winged guy looks very suspicious if he's out in the forest?" Zeus replied, sarcasm dripping from his tone. Prometheus scoffed and stopped his running. "What are you doing? The WP will catch you!" Zeus sighed.
"I'll kill them first," Prometheus stated with a rather evil look on his face. Zeus chuckled and the two looked back as the WP officers jumped out and kept their weapon aim focused on Prometheus and Zeus.
"Halt in the name of the Commander!" The WP shouted as Prometheus rolled his eyes.
"What the hell does a fucking Commander want with a freak?!" Prometheus shouted as he charged at the WP while sidestepping their bullets. Zeus sighed and sat down.
"Knowing him he wants to kill them by himself. Damn he almost never gives me a chance for fun," Zeus muttered which was followed up by a yawn.
"Come on dumb idiots!" Prometheus taunted. The WP charged, guns a blazing. Prometheus shook his head as he dodged most of the bullets except for a few which hit his tail. He hissed in pain as anger surged through him. "Oh I'm going to make you pay for that," He growled. Within minutes all but one of the WP was left standing.
"W-what d-do y-you w-want with me?" The officer stuttered.
"Tell me why your Commander wants you bastards to hunt me down!" Prometheus held up the officer by his neck.
"H-he said to hunt anyone down that's black and red!" The officer squeaked.
"Hmm any ideas Zeus?" Prometheus asked as he stabbed the officer he questioned.
"Black and red? Sorry Sky but I don't know anything about a black and red person other than you," Zeus replied, using the nickname he gave to Prometheus.
"I thought I told you to never call me that," Prometheus yawned with a subtle threat hidden in his tone. Zeus shrugged when Prometheus' ears perked up. He pushed Zeus into some nearby bushes and quickly told Zeus to shut up. A black and red blur was seen with several Winged Police following the blur.
"Hey shouldn't we help whoever that was?" Zeus suggested,
"No," Prometheus replied.
"But aren't we the good guys? Shouldn't we be helping people?!" Zeus gulped as Prometheus glared at him.
"We are not the good guys! We are not nor will we ever be heroes!" Prometheus growled as he stepped out of the bushes.
"Are you sure? I mean shouldn't we be at least helping our kin?" Zeus asked, a confused tone in his voice.
"We will help them in a different way," Prometheus stated as he stared at his bloodied claws.
"What? By killing police?" Zeus sarcastically replied.
"Perfect idea," Prometheus grinned, his teeth showing. Zeus groaned as he wondered how exactly he had gotten into this.
"So we're going to a Winged Citadel so we could get some info on this Commander guy who wants someone black and red dead," Zeus shook his head. Prometheus nodded. The two yawned as they walked towards the closest Winged Citadel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The black and red blur grunted as he looked back to see the number of Winged Police that were chasing him, increasing.
"Goddamn these idiots!" The blur growled.
"Stop hedgehog scum!" One WP officer cried.
"You'll have to catch me first!" The hedgehog shouted as he stopped running only to flap his raven black wings. He smirked and flew off quickly, leaving the WP behind on the ground.
"Get back here!" The WP screamed as they took to the skies with their white wings. The hedgehog frowned as he drew out two pistols from the two holsters on his legs. He fired, injuring two WP.
"Heh two down," He grinned. The WP growled in anger as they charged after their shock of seeing their fellow WP gunned down. "Bring it," He fired as quickly as possible with his two handguns. Though several bullets missed, a few still managed to wound his pursuers.
"When the Commander starts to chase you, oh you'll get it scum," Was the last sentence before the WP officer took his last breath.
"Oh please, that idiot? Chase me?" The hedgehog shook his head in arrogance. With a sigh, he lowered himself until he slowly landed on the ground. "Hmm who were those two that I saw? Oh well I guess it's not that important," He muttered.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Prometheus groaned as he and Zeus were looking up at Avia's Paradise, one of the Winged Citadels.
"So how do we get up there?" Zeus asked unaware of the stupidity that came from his question.
"Are you forgetting about the things attached to my damn back?!" Prometheus growled in disbelief.
"Oh right sorry," Zeus scratched his head sheepishly. Zeus gulped as Prometheus grabbed him from the air and they rised to the entrance of Avia's Paradise. Once they landed in front of the gates, two guards stopped in front of them.
"State your business in Avia's Paradise," One of the guards asked.
"We're simple travelers and we are here as humble tourists," Zeus exclaimed as Prometheus nodded. The guards peered at them closely until they nodded and allowed the hybrids passage into Avia's Paradise. Zeus went in first while Prometheus was stopped by the guard on the right.
"It would be wise to watch your friend for those without wings aren't liked by the residents," The guard warned. With a grunt, Prometheus nodded.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Prometheus whispered as he followed Zeus. Zeus stopped when he noticed Prometheus wasn't following.
"Aw come on Sky! Cheer up! At least we probably won't be attacked here!" Zeus cheerfully stated.
"Damn idiot," Prometheus mumbled as he cautiously looked around. "I'm willing to bet my stinking tail that we'll get attacked in one way of another," Prometheus added.
"Yeah right," Zeus yawned. As they walked, several glares were aimed at Zeus. Prometheus noticed this and he had to admit, it was a welcome change from the usual glares that were aimed at him. Zeus was unfortunately oblivious to the glares and then one of the local citizens were running towards the closest WP officer around.
"Shit," Prometheus whispered under his breath. Zeus smiled as he looked around. It was clean city and many of the metal buildings were white and shiny. Then Zeus saw many WP officers heading towards him. He looked back only to see Prometheus was gone. 'Probably hid in some alley that damn bastard! Leaving me to fight alone,' Zeus thought.
"Bring it on!" Zeus taunted. The WP officers all growled with anger and they charged as Zeus got himself prepped for battle. Meanwhile Prometheus quietly yawned as he leaned on the alley wall. He eyed the figure next to him, the person was wearing a cloak and he seemed to be a hedgehog.
"So why did you leave your friend to fight alone?" The hedgehog asked.
"I think he needs something to knock back into reality and keep him away from his fantasies," Prometheus replied. The cloaked hedgehog chuckled at Prometheus' comment. "So what brings a shady looking character like you here to this place?" Prometheus kept his gaze focused on the figure.
"Well mostly because I want to know why those damn winged idiots are chasing me," The hedgehog responded.
"You're black and red?" Prometheus yawned. The hedgehog nodded and stretched his arm out, showing his black fur and red stripes. Prometheus nodded with a grunt.
"You tired?" The figure sighed.
"Yeah," Prometheus grunted. Later as the two waited, Zeus came into the alley with several scars and he was clutching an arm which looked very bloody.
"As soon as I recover from this, I'm going to kill you Prometheus!" Zeus winced.
"That's your name? Prometheus?" The figure asked. Prometheus nodded as Zeus walked closer.
"Who are you?" Zeus winced again.
"Me? I'm Shadow the Hedgehog," Shadow said.
Did the history part at the beginning of the chapter confuse you guys? If it did then just keep reading and things will get cleared up as the chapters pass. For those are wondering, the OCxOC romance is the last to fully develop so don't think that the romance will start immediately. ShadAmy will be the first though. Anyways screw the review requirements and just review! Please?
