I got the idea of adding CGC from Starvix's stories so I asked and got permission.
Chapter Four
He's a Bit Rated R
"What!? How could you invite Fang to your house!?" Knuckles yelled in a confused tone.
Last time on BattleStar Galactica: Knuckles and Vector went to Shadow's house to retrieve his pet, only to find a very dangerous chao that almost killed Knuckles. But the two were able to contain the chao within a large metal pot. Once they got back to their house, Knuckles was greeted by a not so friendly face, Fang the Sniper.
"That's an easy one. He's our friend." Chimed Charmy as he entered the room. The bee didn't seem disturbed at all, that his friends just tackled his other friend to the ground, or the fact that the pot under Vector's arm was shaking and growling.
"WHAT!?" Yelled a confused Knuckles.
"Oi! Yur bein' loud up in my ear, mate!" Yelled an aggravated Fang from under Knuckles.
Espio and Vector were able to convince Knuckles to get off of Fang. They all went to the living room while Charmy played with Shadow in the living room. While Knuckles and Vector were gone though, Espio was able to baby proof the house and make things a little less destructive around Charmy as well.
"So tell me, HOW'S A BLOODTHIRSTY MERCENARY YOUR FRIEND!?" Knuckles asked in a loud tone. If you don't know, Fang used to work with the Chaotix, along with Knuckles and an armadillo named Mighty. Fang left the detectives and became a mercenary, sometimes fighting against the Chaotix.
"Well, Fang apologized about three weeks ago about what he did. He said that leaving us was a bad decision since most mercenary jobs have already been taken by more skilled mercs. So we accepted his apology and so far he's been working in Outback Steak house and he's making a lot more money." Vector explained.
"Outback Steak House? The one that's Australian themed?" Knuckles asked.
"Yup, that's the one, mate." Fang answered before opening the refrigerator.
"No wonder you make so much cash." Knuckles said, mentioning Fang's aussie accent.
"Even though I'm no merc, I still got mah guns." Fang said as he got out of the fridge holding a carton of milk and a small handgun.
Knuckles dived for the gun and successfully grabbed it. He then threw it through a closed window, breaking the glass and causing a cat to shriek. The red echidna then wiped off some sweat from his brow in relief.
"Hey! What was that for!?" Yelled Fang before running over to the broken window to see if his gun was alright.
"I can live with you being our friend again, but there's a baby around, you can't use guns!" Knuckles yelled. He did make a good point. Shadow's a baby now, he can't see guns or violence. And Mercs are really violent. You can't argue with that. Mercs do kill people for money, like assassins, but assassins do it all sneaky like, where mercs just go in and shoot everything that moves.
"Oh come on! I may not be a merc anymore, but I still love mah guns!" Fang said as he took out yet another handgun.
Knuckles yet again grabbed onto the gun and threw it out the window.
"How many guns do you have on you!?" Knuckles asked in frustration. You've got to admit, how many places can you hide a gun.
"Lots, so many I probably lost count." Fang answered. The weasel rubbed his chin trying to remember the number of guns he always kept on him.
"That's why I don't want you around Shadow right now! You're too rated-R!" Knuckles yelled, trying to make him understand. He's got a point, you don't want a gun toting, trigger happy mercenary around children do you?
"Oi! I only killed like," Fang tried to give a rough estimate of how many people he's killed. "Okay alright, I've kill a lot of people, but you haven't given me a chance yet, Knux." Fang said; failing to find the number of people he's killed. He's been in the business for a while now, he doesn't keep track of that sort of thing. It's like keeping track of how many times you've breathed in your whole entire life.
Knuckles thought about it. Maybe Fang could tame himself from using guns around kids, or killing, or the usage of violent terms, or . . . . . there are a lot of things Fang has to stop doing in order to hang around children.
"Fine." Knuckles finally answered. He would give this a try, but if it didn't work, Knuckles could always kick Fang's butt.
Fang did a little celebratory dance with Vector, before Knuckles remembered why he and vector went out in the first place. The silver pot was still under Vector's arm and it was still growling and shaking.
"Espio, could you please get Shadow in here? We picked up his pet." Knuckles said before helping Vector hold the pot down on the table. The chao inside the pot was vicious and it wanted to kill something really badly.
"Shadow has a pet?" Fang asked as he poured himself a glass of milk.
"Surprising isn't it?" Knuckles replied instead of answering. If you told someone that Shadow the hedgehog has a pet, they would all probably ask the same question.
Espio called Shadow and Charmy back in and the little bee carried the small ebony hedgehog on top of his shoulders inside of the kitchen area. The two looked like they had great fun in the living room. That's either a really good sign or a really bad sign. Charny could have had fun doing something really dangerous or having fun watching TV.
"What's up?" Charmy asked as Shadow patted the top of Charmy's helmet.
"We got Shadow's pet killer." Vector replied as he started to cut the duct tape off of the pot.
"Pet killer?" Fang, Charmy and Espio asked simultaneously. All three of them looked kind of scared, but espio shook it off and prepared to fight if he had to.
"You'll see." Vector and Knuckles replied as all of the duct tape came off. The two slowly removed the lid and aimed the opening at Shadow. The small looked at the pot with a confused look, before recognizing the sounds coming from it.
"Mawia!" Shadow exclaimed happily, before a small dark chao flew out of the pot and hugged Shadow.
Knuckles and Vector looked at the cute moment with shocked, open mouths. About thirty minutes ago, this thing was trying to chomp off Knuckle's hand. But now it was playing the old, 'I'm cute, blame them' trick. It shocked them, everyone else might be thinking 'they're a bunch of wimps, can't even handle a chao.'
"Pet killer, yeah roight! The things adorable!" Said a happy Fang before kneeling down next to Shadow and the chao.
"Did Shadow just call it Maria?" Espio asked, before looking at Vector and Knuckles. The name was known to almost everyone in the room except for Charmy. The bee doesn't like to pay attention during long boring lectures.
"I guess so, he must really miss that girl." Knuckles answered before walking over to the cabinet. He wasn't convinced that the chao could go from deadly to cute and adorable in less then fifteen minutes. The red echidna grabbed a spoon and knelt down behind Maria. He then poked the little chao's head with the spoon a couple of time, but it didn't seem to fight back at all. The chao was too busy hugging Shadow.
Fang was petting the chao on the head and smiling. He found it cute, seeing a baby Shadow playing with a dark chao. The rest of the day went by well. Charmy had a miniature food fight with Shadow. Vector relaxed and listened to his Ipod. Espio was busy meditating and training. Knuckles and Fang were talking about old time, Sonic, and the season finale's of some TV shows, mostly CSI:NY. Which is funny because Knuckles isn't really smart, but he's able to understand that show fully. At the end of the day, Fang would sleep at the Chaotix building, Knuckles was busy trying to find someone to protect the Master Emerald while he was gone and Shadow was asleep with Maria in Charmy's bed which he voluntarily gave up for the two.
"Thanks Shade, you're doing me a huge favor." Knuckles said through the phone. Yeah, he has Shade's phone number.

In Tails' Workshop
The fox was nearly finished with his machine. At a rough estimate, he would probably have it done by tomorrow afternoon. Tails has been in contact with Sonic and he told his fast blue friend that Knuckles was taking great care of Shadow. Sonic was relieved by the news. He thought Knuckles would just ditch Shadow in a mall or something to get off the hook. But this shows that the red echidna is responsible. Sonic was still busy evading the fans and paparazzi but he was able to make it to his house unbothered.

Somewhere Else
"Commander, it seems as though we have some information that Shadow the Hedgehog has been turned into an infant." Said a young GUN soldier. Not good.
"Really? This is probably the second time this has happened." Said a Creepy GUN Commander, we'll just leave him as CGC.
"What do you want us to do?" asked the young soldier.
"Move out at tomorrow afternoon, we well apprehend this hedgehog without any other nuisances." Answered CGC.

Back at the Chaotix Detective Agency
Even though Knuckles told him not to, Fang continued to use his guns. Not in the bad way though, he was only cleaning them and besides, Shadow was sleeping in Charmy's room upstairs. But something didn't fit quite well with Fang. Something was coming, he could feel it. He couldn't tell what it was, but he knew it was bad. Something told him that he would have to break his promise with Knuckles tomorrow.
