Chapter 7: Apparently Forgotten Kitty

Rouge didn't quite know what to think about the results of the computer analysis. Rouge knew the results could be interpreted several different ways, but could what appeared to be true actually be true? Rouge's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the voice of the Commander coming from her glove communicator.

"Rouge, Shadow's tracking signal has reappeared. He is now located on Angel Island. I want you to go there immediately to find out what is going on."

"Sure thing Commander!" Rouge flew swiftly from the GUN base toward the sea. Her flight path happened to go over the Island Nation of Soleanna and she couldn't help taking one last look before flying off. Something down below immediately caught her eye. None other than Silver himself, with Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, wandering around the streets. Rouge stared intently at Silver. She so wanted to tell him what she knew. But she knew deep down inside that what she did was wrong. Even the knowledge she now possessed could change the future. Maybe Silver would be snuffed out of existence because of what she knew, she hoped that wouldn't happen. She gathered herself together and acted like nothing was wrong. "Let me guess, you followed Eggman Nega, didn't you?"

"Yes, that crazy Nega created a space-time rift and I knew there would be trouble again! I swiftly followed him and ended up here! Then he changed all the humans into cats. Trust me, he's created inventions that have done stranger things, so this really doesn't surprise me. I mean personally, I like cats for some reason I can't quite grasp, but I can tell these cats need to be changed back into humans, and quickly, or their entire country will be torn apart."

Sonic looked at Rouge and started to laugh. "Heh, is Shadow still a skunk?"

"Nope, Nega turned him back into a hedgehog, then Shadow started to follow him and turned off his tracking device. But now his tracker is working again, he may be calling for help. He is currently on Angel Island, I was heading there to see what was going on."

Knuckle's eyes narrowed into slivers "Angel Island? How dare he mess with my Master Emerald again!"

Sonic tilted his head back and laughed. "What are we waiting for? And Knuckles, that's what you get for leaving the thing alone all the time!"

"How dare you blame me, Sonic, you were the one that invited me to this stupid party in the first place!"

"Yes, but you accepted my invitation-"

Tails picked Sonic up and started to fly with him, but Rouge just stared at Knuckles.

"Heh, there is no way I am carrying a stinky Echidna who can't find a Chaos Emerald if it was 2 inches in front of his face!"

"What, how dare you! Some day, I'll show-"

"Show me what, your ugly butt?"

Tails rolling his eyes dropped Sonic back on the ground, and then grabbed Knuckles, while Rouge picked up Sonic. Silver levitated behind them, and the crazy, still arguing group headed off into the sunset to the mysterious Floating Island in the sky.
