revan blackheart - You'll see if you're right later. She's definitely got some part in the cultist plans. ^^
petite-dreamer - Maybe, maybe, you'll have to see later. ^^
M2 - Yeah, Moloch-Ba'al is the one who knifed Amy, because he's far too evil to use his servants to do his dirty work. ^^
Blood Rain
The sun was setting on Station Square, but it made little difference. An oppressively thick cover of clouds plastered the sky, covering any piece of blue sky, and already eliminating most of the sunlight, which was already pale due to the winter season. All in all, it almost looked like it was night, despite only being late afternoon.
The Station Square hospital stood proudly amongst the various skyscrapers that jutted out from the ground, instantly recognisable from the large red 'H' that hung on its sides. Down in the streets, Tails, Knuckles, Vector and Cream met up and spoke between themselves for a moment, before entering the building. They all looked pretty grim. The kitsune quickly managed to get the directions to the room they were looking for, and the four of them moved up, taking the elevator to the 13th floor before arriving at Amy Rose's room.
Amy looked bad. Fortunately for her; a neighbour had heard her scream and seen the mysterious assailant who had savagely carved her stomach. He had quickly phoned the police, who, once they saw Amy, quickly brought in an ambulance. And there she was. She had lost a lot of blood, a fact made obvious by the tube connecting her arm to a stand from which hung a bag of crimson blood. Her four friends entered, and she smiled weakly,
"Glad you could make it." she said, clearing her throat. Tails drew up a chair, sitting down besides the rose hedgehog,
"So what actually happened?" he asked her quietly. Amy frowned grimly, thinking for a moment before replying,
"I don't know. I wake up, someone's smashed my window, jumped out of it, and..." she hesitated for a second, "and I've got a circle butchered into my body!" Cream opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, someone knocked on the door. A quick, officious rap on the wood. And then, without waiting for an answer, a lady walked in. She was wearing a G.U.N uniform, complete with a beret perched on her long, tied-back blonde hair.
"Ms. Rose?" she asked, her voice soft but formal. Amy nodded, the woman continued, "I am Sergeant Victoria, from the G.U.N Special Operations Unit. I need to speak with you." she glanced at the hedgehog's other visitors, "Alone." Amy shook her head slowly,
"No. They stay, or we don't talk." Sergeant Victoria looked at the four, and then at Amy, and then she shrugged,
"What the hell." she said, her formal accent making this sound slightly comical, "Now, we, that is to say - G.U.N, believe that the attack on you was propagated by a cult, known as the 'Molochites'." Amy tilted her head quizzically,
"The Molochites? Now they do sound evil." Victoria smiled slightly,
"Yes well, we currently have one of our best agents investigating this cult." From the corner of the room, stood watching the streets below, Knuckles murmured,
"Y'know, I haven't seen Rouge for some time." the G.U.N agent looked at him sharply, and the echidna caught her glance, "As I thought," he grinned, "I imagine Rouge is your 'best agent' who's working this case?" Victoria chewed her lower lip for the barest fraction of a second, before saying plainly,
"That's not for me to say." she stood up sharply, eyeing Knuckles for a moment, before saying, very formally, "I need to ask you not to tell anyone about what I have told you in this room. The investigation into the Molochites is top-secret. Only myself, the Commander of G.U.N, our agent, the President, and now you, know." Vector interrupted, raising his hands,
"Whoa whoa, wait, lady. You say you're only a sergeant? Then how the hell do you know all about this top-secret thing?" Victoria smiled, revealing perfect white teeth,
"If you wanted to find out about a top-clearance operation, who would you kidnap and torture, or go through the belongings of – a petty sergeant, or a major? There is safety in having trusted people in low ranks." She tipped her beret to day, turning round. Just as she was about to leave the room, Knuckles spoke again,
"Uh guys?" he paused for a moment, before saying, "It's raining blood." And it was. The rain everyone had been expecting to fall all day had finally arrived, but it wasn't water. Crimson red, it fell down into the streets, literally making small rivers of blood as it drained into the gutters. They could see people down below running to and fro, scared witless by this sudden eerie rain of blood. But that wasn't all: in a sudden bright flash, the clouds - the entire blanket that had kept the sky and sun out – suddenly blazed into an inferno of fire. Vector swallowed, managing to remark,
"A winter shower of blood and cloud cover from hell, looks like the apocalypse is starting early." As they all watched the falling blood and the shimmering veil of fire that dominated the sky, they heard the door slam open. Swirling round, they saw it was a group of menacing people, dressed entirely in red – red trousers, red shirts complete with red hoods. But what they were wearing didn't matter; what mattered was that they were threateningly pointing guns at the group. The hooded person stood at the front, noticeably their leader, pointed his gun towards Amy,
"You, hedgehog. You are to come with us."
Because we all love cliffhangers. ^_^'
