Episode 3

Rouge's secret goal

On the day that Dr. Oliver Eggman used his Purple Chaos Emerald to try and reactivate the Gizoid General, the President of South Island called in for Agent Rouge the Bat to help him. Topaz would've come, but she was far too busy with peace missions after the crisis caused by the Neo Eggman Empire and the loss of the United Federation council. After the council died, minus one of their members who is a Techno Mage, the United Federation has been in disarray and things have been chaotic for the countries. Worldwide communications were practically gone, and it was mostly old systems that were unaffected. While Topaz helped keep the people at peace, other agents such as Rouge and Green were being sent across the globe to investigate things and to look for clues on why global communications have been offline. Today, President Joe of South Island, needed Rouge the Bat to look into a matter concerning what she and Topaz found in France a year ago.

"I'm sure you remember that hidden lab you found in the sewers of France last year, right?" the president asked Rouge while she sat in a chair in his office.

"How could I possibly forget that experience?" Rouge said sarcastically.

The President looked over to one of his aides, and then looked back at Rouge. "Commander Abraham Tower recently informed me through the G.U.N sergeant stationed here. That what you and Topaz found, was one of the secret laboratories of Prof. Gerald Robotnik. And that this particular lab, was housing a powerful robot that was used as a weapon in the ancient times. This robot from what we know is called a Gizoid, and is said to have been a general from the ancient times. We need you to find out whatever information you possibly can on the Gizoid, and report back to us." President Joe said as he handed Rouge a file containing the clearance she'd need to get the information she needed.

Rouge smiled, and accepted the assignment. (With this level of access, I can learn everything I need to know about every security system for every jewelry store and museum in the world.) Rouge thought to herself. "Thank you Mr. President. I'll report anything I find out about the Gizoid General." Rouge said as she opened up a window and flew away.

"Does she always use the windows when she's on her own?" the president asked one of his assistances.

"I don't know sir." The assistant said.

Later on Rouge went to the Central Lab, she gained practically all of the information she needed on the Gizoid that was available. After she got the information she needed, she gained all of the information she was personally after. She did miss one file concerning the Gizoid though, and it was regarding Colonial ARK. The computer alerted her that a hacker going by the username Dr. Eggman was hacking into the same information, she was after regarding the Gizoid and the ARK. Using her gadgets and skills, she tracked Dr. Oliver Eggman's location to the streets of South Central City. She confronted the doctor, and he revealed that he had a robot he made in the image of the Gizoid, and it was E-121 Chi. He ordered his robot to attack Rouge, and even though the robot fought with Sonic's skills she was able to damage and repel it. Dr. Oliver Eggman escaped, after he revealed that he threw away the Gizoid. Rouge used her tracking skills, and ended up searching all over the beach until she found Green.

(You know how that encounter happened back in the first episode. We'll time skip from that event, to the present date.)

Year, 3235. Month, June, the tenth.

Rouge had tricked Green into allowing Emerl to follow her orders, and with only a couple people on the island suspicious of Rouge. She figured it would be the time to make her move. (With Green gone in Downunda, along with Max and his girlfriend. Things will be easy for me to handle.) She thought to herself as she headed into Emerald Town.

Once there, she looked for Emerl who was currently training with Nicolas. Rouge was able to convince Nicolas, that she could look after Emerl for a little while, and he'd be alright. Because of the fact Rouge is adopted family to Green, and because she's a fellow G.U.N agent, Nicolas didn't suspect she'd do anything stupid or sinister to Emerl. However shortly after Rouge got her hands on Emerl, Fiona Fox showed up. She came to the island to go on recon for the Freedom Fighters, of course when she saw Rouge with Emerl she suspected something fishy was up. Fiona had a past with Rouge the Bat, and a fierce rivalry as well. And she suspected that the bat would do something to hurt Green, or Emerl. So she took it upon herself to fight Rouge, "Let's see what you got." Rouge said as they started the fight. Rouge went easy on Fiona for a while, but unfortunately for Fiona, Rouge was victorious against her. "Winning is everything." Rouge said with a smirk as she shook her booty.

"And you're still a bubble butt, two faced thief… You'll get yours' one day…" Fiona said with a smirk.

"And you're as pathetic now, as you were in the old days." Rouge said to Fiona, as she made her escape with Emerl.

Emerl followed Rouge into South Central City, as they were walking Amy Rose was in the streets and noticed them. Amy was told about Emerl through Sonic, and she was intent on making sure Rouge didn't do anything to the robot. Amy was on the island, because she wanted to store some things at her apartment that Green bought for her. Amy had recently began training with Julie-Su, in order to become a better fighter and among the fighting techniques she was learning was Boxer-Size. Amy tried to stop Rouge, but her skills weren't on Rouge's level quite yet. And as a result she lost, poor Amy got so exhausted in her fight that she hallucinated seeing Sonic fight alongside her. But Amy in vain tried to fight more, and lost when Rouge kicked her one last time.

After that was over, Rouge took Emerl with her into the Night Babylon district of South Central City. Once there, she took him to her own little home which doubled as a battle club and night club. This place was called Club Rouge, and Rouge taught Emerl skills needed to become a thief. She started the training, by using Guard Robo units, she explained to Emerl that G.U.N recently discovered that the Guard Robo units were made by Dr. Oliver Eggman. "The doctor made these robots, so he could make some extra cash quick while he began work on his next evil scheme. Sadly G.U.N hasn't been able to track where he sells these things from, but many people desperate for security robots have bought Guard Robos from the doctor. Without even realizing that their buying from him." Rouge said as she finished explaining the Guard Robo units.

"Green…" Emerl said.

"Forget about him for the time being. You need to focus on training." Rouge said to Emerl.

Hours went by, and just as Rouge had hoped for. Emerl became a thief robot with the skills she taught him, and she could order him to do stuff. "Green… Green…" Emerl said.

"I told you forget about him. And besides, we have a mission to do at a local jewelry shop. Green left a particular jewel to someone, and that someone recently moved the jewel to a jewelry shop in Emerald Town." Rouge said. "Your mission is to steal it for me. And once I have it, then you'll be let go." Rouge said as she and Emerl left Club Rouge, they then left the Night Babylon district and went back into the main area of South Central City. Once they entered the city though, Chaos Gamma attacked them.

"Initiate battle mode!" the robot said.

"Looks like one of Eggman's robots." Rouge said as she and Emerl battled the robot. Emerl used battle moves that were a mix of Sonic, Knuckles and Rouge's moves. And he overwhelmed Chaos Gamma, he even saved Rouge from a shocking attack delivered by one of the various weapons built into Chaos Gamma. "This bucket of bolts is history." Rouge said as the robot was seemingly destroyed. "Let's hurry before anything else happens." Rouge said as she and Emerl headed for Emerald Town.

"Initiating recovery mode." Chaos Gamma said as his eyes glowed again, he was repairing himself quickly, before he made a retreat.

Back in Emerald Town, Rouge had Emerl break into the local jewelry store by picking the lock. After Emerl broke into the store, Rouge went in and used her skills to steal the White Chaos Emerald from the shop. Rouge thought she'd finally have a Chaos Emerald for herself, but Emerl took the Chaos Emerald and he plugged it into the socket at the back of him where the other two Chaos Emeralds were placed inside of him. "Third Chaos Emerald acquired. Thank you Rouge…" Emerl said.

"I can't believe it! After all that trouble I went through, he took my Chaos Emerald!" Rouge shouted once they exited the building.

However Team Sonic overheard what Rouge said, they arrived after Nicolas informed them that Rouge was looking after Emerl today. Fiona claimed that Rouge attacked her, all because she questioned why Emerl wasn't with Nicolas. Team Sonic is the team of heroes made up of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. And the three were ready to give Rouge a piece of their mind on her recent actions, but after a tiring fight Green arrived. He demanded to know what was going on immediately. "Green you're back!" Fiona said as she hugged him.

Green smiled, he remembered that for months now Fiona had been acting like a girlfriend to Sonic, so he could get back on his feet after Sally broke up with him. She tickled Green with her tail, to assure him that she'd be waiting for him once she thought Sonic was ready to move on. Rouge claimed that she merely used her skills to uniquely acquire a Chaos Emerald for Emerl because the shop was closed. And that she was very good to Emerl, and treated him nicely. Emerl was able to speak a little better, and claimed that this was true. Everyone felt relief after Emerl told them this, and soon they went to the South Island Freedom Fighter base. "I have to say, it feels good being with my friends again." Green said to his friends.

"I agree." Fiona said as she smiled to Green.

Once everyone was comfortable. Another automated journal entry, from Prof. Gerald Robotnik began to play from Emerl. "Prof. Gerald's Journal Entry 3 on the Gizoid: I now understand why this being was named Gizoid. In the ancient tongue, it means "everything". According to the stone tablet, if the Gizoid establishes a "Link" with someone, the Gizoid will swear loyalty to that person. Perhaps it still lacks Chaos Emerald energy, but it has been saying the word "Link" to me in broken tones. It went on to explain "Show me your true strength and I shall obey. I am all things, and all shall belong to me." So, as it suggested, I brought before it my collection of model guns, and fired them all. Then, suddenly, it said, "I shall follow your every command, and never leave your side." And since then, it refuses to listen to anyone but me. While still it is a fearsome weapon of destruction, while it remains under my control, at least it won't be used for evil. However, if someone with evil intentions ever forms a Link with the Gizoid… I don't even want to think about what will happen. Must research how one can re-establish a Link with the Gizoid…" and the journal log ended.

Everyone wasn't entirely sure what to think of this. Except for Green, because he knew all too well that the fact Gerald's journal entries were activating from Emerl, was a sign that he was on the right path and that there was only four Chaos Emeralds left to locate, and plug into Emerl. Once that was done, he could make the robot good again. A week later Green would leave Emerl in the care of Knuckles, and the Chaotix. Because he was called away on a mission into Station Square.

What's Green's big mission to Station Square? Can the Chaotix look after Emerl while he's gone? Find out as the adventures continue!
