~Chapter 9~

"YIN! YIN! Curse you Bonnie where are you!?!?!?" shouted Jet the Hawk. He was looking for Bonnie (now 16) when she took off for no reason. Jet looked around, until he saw Shadow. "Hey Shadow," Jet said to Shadow, "Have you seen this girl? She ran off and I can't find her anywhere." Jet held up a picture of Bonnie. "What is her name?" Shadow asked, though fearing the answer. Jet put the picture away said, "Her name is Bonnie and she is my best friend." Shadow glared at him and sighed. "I haven't seen her in about 11 years," Shadow said. Jet was confused, but he went down the street, eager to find Bonnie when all of a sudden Bonnie jumped out of nowhere and said, "BOO!" "AHH!" Jet screamed. "BONNIE DON'T DO THAT!!" Bonnie fell back in laughter. "You shoulda seen your face, Jet. It was classic," Bonnie said still laughing.

Meanwhile, at G.U.N's headquarters, Shadow was showing Clyde a few simple moves. "So that's how you do it," Clyde said innocently. Shadow rolled his eyes when G.U.N commander walked in. "Shadow," he said. "I need to talk to you alone, if you don't mind." Shadow nodded and told Clyde to keep working on what he taught him. When Shadow was out of the room, Clyde started to become suspicious. "I wonder what that is about," he wondered and started to follow them to a conference room. Clyde put his ear to the door and listened. "I hear Shadow, the commander, and Mephiles's voices, but what are they talking about?" said Clyde softly.

At that same moment, Bonnie was in the air ducts and listened in on the conversation between Shadow, the Commander, and Mephiles.

Commander: You both know and remember Bonnie and Clyde?

Mephiles & Shadow: Yes

Commander: well, we have received a report that Bonnie is causing trouble all over the city.

Shadow: that is impossible. The last time i saw Bonnie was when she was a nice and innocent girl. She never would cause trouble.

Mephiles: Has Clyde been acting like that recently, Shadow?

Shadow: Yes, he has. How did you know?

Mephiles: Because Bonnie and Clyde must have switched personalities somehow.

Commander: Well...

The Commander was cut off when Bonnie accidentally fell out of the air ducts and landed on the table. She looked around, wide-eyed and surprised to see the three of them. "Commander," said a lieutenant. "Yes, lieutenant? What is it?" The lieutenant dragged Clyde in. "Apparently Clyde has been eavesdropping again." The commander nodded and the lieutenant left.

Bonnie and Clyde just stared at one another. "Bonnie, Clyde, what are you doing here," Mephiles demanded. "I'll just go finish my training," Clyde said and walked out of the room.

All eyes were on Bonnie. She hated when all people in the room were staring at her. Bonnie got off of the table and started to walk out of the room when the commander told the guards to arrest Bonnie. This made Bonnie jump. She saw the soldiers come after her and she started to run. The soldiers then boxed her in. Bonnie threw open her arms (as if someone was going to give her a hug) and a blast of energy came from her and made way for her escape.

Shadow and Mephiles watched the whole scene in awe. Neither one of them knew that Bonnie had that kind of power inside of her. Clyde was also watching the scene. When Bonnie looked back, her and Clyde's eyes met. And at that instant, both hated one another.
