Another chapter! I'm watching Inukami at the moment. It's pretty funny! ^_^
Chapter 13: Eggbert appears!
*Theme song plays* (I'm not doing this for the benefit of my health, you know…)
At Takeshi's practice, things were just going fine. Shadow had woken up the next day, but he wasn't too happy to wake up with stitches in his chest….
Hikari's flashback
Hikari was in Shadow's room, sitting by his bed with a purring cat on her lap. She smiled as the hedgehog woke up.
"Ow…I have such a headache…and my chest hurts…" Shadow muttered, sitting up.
"What happened to you?" Hikari asked.
"I'm not sure if I can even remember…."
"Oh…Well, you fainted, so Takeshi brought you back here, and gave you stitches, because you were shot three times."
"Stitches…where…"
Just then, an sudden idea came to Shadow's head. He slowly looked at his chest, which had a jagged line on it. Hikari sweatdropped as Shadow's ears flicked back.
"Did he cut…" he trailed off as Hikari nodded.
"He had to find the bullets…" she explained. Shadow's eye twitched.
"YOU LET HIM SLICE ME OPEN?" he shouted at Hikari.
"No…he recommended it…."
"TAKESHIIIIII!"
Takeshi walked in, looking slightly annoyed.
"Oh, you're up, Shadow. That's good. But could you not shout? I'm doing some work."
"YOU FREAKING CUT ME OPEN! I KNEW PEOPLE IN WHITE COATS WERE BAD!" Shadow freaked out as Takeshi facepalmed.
"Now Shadow, if you don't calm down-"
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!"
Takeshi sighed, and got out a needle.
"If you don't keep quiet, I'm going to have to drug you!" he shouted, waving the needle in Shadow's face. Shadow immediately shut up.
"…Thank you." Takeshi walked out. Then he turned around.
"Hikari, a word? In my office?" he asked. Hikari nodded, and went with him, leaving a slightly startled cat and a shocked Shadow.
"But still…he cut me open…" Shadow muttered. The cat twitched her tail, and pounced onto his head. Shadow just sighed.
In Takeshi's office, Hikari was fidgeting nervously as Takeshi sat down.
"Now Hikari…I understand you and Shadow are wanted by GUN?" he asked. Hikari nodded.
"Yeah…I kind of ran away from home…" she mumbled.
"I'm not going to hand you over to them, so don't worry."
"OK."
"However, you will need a disguise…GUN are starting to search houses randomly
now."
*End flashback*
So, that brings us back to our present moment. Hikari had gotten a disguise, and started annoying Shadow, by eating cookies in front of him, because he wasn't allowed to eat anything sweet. But two days later, Hikari was bored. She had annoyed Shadow, poked Takeshi and the poor cat was in a cupboard somewhere.
"That's it! I need to go to town!" she shouted.
"Don't you think you'll get caught?" Shadow asked, trying to take a purring cat off his head.
"No…This will be perfect. I can try out my disguise."
"Mew."
"Have you named your cat as yet?" Takeshi asked.
"She's not my cat!" Shadow shouted.
"Well, she likes you a lot, so why don't you name her?"
Shadow thought for a moment.
"Sapphire. I'll call her Sapphire." he said.
"Mew!" Sapphire jumped onto his head, and he sweatdropped.
"Are you sure you want to go to town, Hikari?" Takeshi asked.
"Yeah…Don't worry, I'll be careful." Hikari picked up her bag, and walked out.
At the shopping center, Hikari found a bookstore. She sat down in the corner to read some books, and a jackal furry came over curiously. Hikari closed the book, and looked up. The jackal hid behind a bookshelf, so Hikari chose to ignore her. As she was coming out, she bumped into a tall man with oddly coloured eyes.
"Watch it!" he shouted. Hikari jumped back.
"Sorry! It's my fault. Won't happen again." she said quickly. The man looked at her, and took out five dollars.
"Here's some money, go get some lunch. And stay away from Shadow the Hedgehog." he walked away.
"Hey! Wait!" Hikari called after him, but he was gone. She shrugged, and went to the coffee bar. As she was there, some startling things happened. A large robot crashed into the restaurant, and every passerby ran away. Hikari looked up as the robot stood in front of her.
"Scanning girl…scan complete. Girl has traces of Chaos energy. Possible contact with emerald. Commence capture." the robot started a loud alarm, as Hikari jumped out of the way.
" Leave me alone!" she shouted. The robot came over to her, and was just about to grab her, when it was hit by a sword. Hikari looked up to see the same jackal from before, holding a sword. The jackal was wearing a white top, with a denim skirt and she had knee high boots and a orange bandana around her neck.
"Come on! We have to get out of here!" she shouted. Hikari nodded, and followed the jackal. They ended up outside eventually, but as they ran out of the mall, a random fat guy came flying down in a hovercraft.
"OH HO HO!" he laughed, evilly. Hikari sweatdropped as he continued to laugh. Then he stopped.
"Behold! I am the great scientist, Doctor Eggman! Fear me!" the fat guy shouted.
"Haven't I heard of you somewhere?" the jackal asked. Eggman grinned.
"Yes! I menace Station Square, every Thursday!" he cried.
"But today's not a Thursday, it's Friday."
"Ahhh…now where was I? Oh yes…COME WITH ME, GIRL!" he shouted. A robot arm shot out of the ship, and grabbed Hikari.
"Let me go! I do not like being picked up like this!" Hikari squirmed around, as the jackal tried to cut the arm with her sword.
"You're coming with me!" Eggman said. He failed to see a blue blur come racing up. The blue blur cut the robot arm in two, and slowed down. Hikari saw a blue hedgehog, who looked slightly like Shadow.
"Eggbert! You haven't been around in a while!" the hedgehog exclaimed.
"YOU! I'LL BE BACK!" Eggman flew away quickly. The hedgehog turned to Hikari.
"Sorry I didn't get here sooner. I'll be on my way."
"Wait! What's your name?" Hikari asked.
"It's Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog!" Sonic did his usual cheesy thumbs up and grin.
As he walked off, Hikari turned. The jackal was gone, so she sighed and left.
In the shadows, a brown rat with an orange bandana watched.
Yes, the jackal is my OC. She'll be making more appearances!
