The Hedgehog Sighting

Shadow was running as fast as he could to Rouge's house. He decided he needed all the help he could get. And since she could fly, she would be his look out from above. As he approached the house he saw the lights on. He knew someone was home. When he reached the front door he knocked rather loudly. Not a minute later Rouge was at the door inviting him inside. She immediately know why he was there and had a reply.

"Yes"she said without letting Shadow explain why he was there.

"Are you sure?" he asked knowing she knew why he was there.

"Yeah, let me get packed" Rouge said with a smile before disappearing up the white carpeted stairs.

Shadow liked Rouge. She was straight to the point and always told the truth no matter how bitter. Not enough to date her but enough to keep their friendship strong. He waited for what seemed like ever before her mousle like afce appeared again.

"I'm ready" she said with a huge smile.

"Alrighty, let's go" Shawdow said leading her towards the door.

She followed and just kept on smiling. She wanted to seem as if nothing was out of the ordinary if her neighbors saw her.

"Where is Sonic anyway?" She asked curiously.

"Well I would assume since Tails, Knuckles, and Amy's bodies were found by a forest then their base would be around there somewhere" shawdow replied.

"Sounds good" Rouge said as they turned the corner off her street.

Rouge noticed something in Shadow's eyes. It was something she hasn't seen before. What was it? Was it determination? Was it anger? It was it love? She couldn't quite place her finger on it.

They were on their way their when they noticed they were being followed. They pretended to act normal. But when he got closer they jumped on him. The person whom the shadows was hiding was someone they hadn't seen in a long time.

"JET!" Rouge screamed baffled.

"Yeah, hey Rouge" he said with a shy smile.

"Why were you following us!" Shadow asked with his fist raised.

"Just cause I wanted to kniw if you guys were finally going out" Jet said with a smirk.

"No just for a walk" Rouge replied tugging Shadow off the green creature.

"Okay. Could I tag along?" Jet asked with a pleading gaze.

"Oh fine" Rouge said giving in.

Shadow looked at Rouge angrily but she gave him an innocent smile and he just looked away.

"So where are you guys going?" Jet asked.

"The woods" Shadow replied a bit harsh.

"Alright, cool" he said with a quick smile.

They caught up as Jet told them all about what he'd been doing since they'd last met. But Shadow was a little preoccupied to care.

When they reached the forest line Shadow have Jet one more chance to back out.

"You sure you want to come?" Shadow asked

"Yeah" Jet replied excitedly.

"Okay. Rouge please go get an arial view"Shadow said almost pleading.

"You got it hon" she said taking flight.

"Wait what's happening?" Jet asked clueless.

"Sonic is in there, and were breaking him out" Shadow replied with a more focused tone.

"Well this would have been nice to know" Jet said sarcastically.

"Well now you do so stay put until Rouge gets back" Shadow said leaving against a tree.

"I thought you hated Sonic"Jet said

"I thought so too, but I can't stand the thought of someone else doing what it was I was meant to do" Shadow said looking Jet straight in the eye.

"Sounds like you love him" Jet said casually.

"I actually haven't given my feelings toward him much though" Shadow said truthfully.

Rouge was coming back now but Shadow didn't notice her until she landed.

"Its all clear" she said with a smile.

"Thank you. Now move in" Shadow said like the leader of the navy seals or something.

They had started off slow to make sure no one was around. They got a decent way in when they noticed there was sort of techy sound.

"Shit cameras!" Shadow whispered.

"They've seen us" Rouge said with a frown.

"Run" Jet said about to move.

"No continue and act like we don't know anything. Just be on your guard" Shadow ordered.

"As you wish" Rouge said in a mocking tone.

They continued to walk until they heard a kind if buzzing. It was coming from somewhere but they couldn't tell where. Shadow then realized all to late what was happening.

"Shit! We've triggered an alarm" he said.

They heard what sounded like billions of footsteps coming toward them. When the footsteps reached them, they were no where in sight.

"Where are they?" A metallic voice said.

"I don't know but the boss with be pissed" another said. They started to scour the woods looking for the heroes coming to Sonic's rescue. But couldn't fund a single one of them. When they left the three slid down from a tree.

"I can't believe that worked!" Jet exclaimed in shock.

I know. But we have to keep moving forward" Shadow said.

"I don't think so" The green bird said with a cocky tone.

"What do you mean?" Shadow asked starting to wonder.

"I mean. You wont ruin the boss' plans. And hell pay nicely for you two" jet said stepping toward them.

"You backstabbing little..." Shadow tried.

Shadow was interupted by a kick to the gut. He clutched his chest. As he held it in pain he was hit in the vertebrae in his neck. He was out cold. Next was Rouge.

"Stay away from me" Rouge said backing up.

"Oh Rouge, so blind to everything" Jet walking walking into her.

Rouge then backed up into a tree and Jet slowly closed in. He walked up to her then kissed her. He proceddd to hit her on the back of her kneck to knock her out as well.

~hours later~

Shadow awoke with a very blurry vision and a raging headache.

"Oh good. You're awake" a voice said over a loud speaker.

"Let me go. And Rouge and Sonic too" Shadow demanded trying to break free.

"But then you'll miss the fun" the voice said with a laugh.

"What fun?" Shadow asked.

The floor started to split open to reveal two rising platforms. One with his friend Rouge, and one with his target. The one he was there for in the first place.

The poor blue hedgehog had bruises, scars, and cits riddled his body. Shadow couldn't tell if he was breathing.

"Sonic..?" He asked trying to see if he was still alive.
