Hey peeps, I'm back with more of my stupid Sonic stories. Ain't i obnoxious? : P Anyhoo.. Timeline right now is right after SA2. Sonic convinces Knux and the others that Knothole is a great vacation spot. How that place got so close to Station Square, no one knows, but ah well. This is my story and I will mold the universe around it as I please : )

Thans for reviewin my last Sonic Story, you know who you are out there ^_^ No flames, wow! Anyway, now Robotnik is showing his dark side once again, and is off now to... What else? Go back to his once ways of roboticizing the poor Mobians and Knotholians and what not.


((Inside Airship Armageddon))


Hundreds of E-102 wannabees roamed the halls of the Armageddon, keping guard and whatnot. The sinister scientist Eggman's voice boomed out over the speakers. "Good work, my minions!" his hidious voice echoed throughout the ship. "Keep this ship up and running, crew! You are my official back-up, so don't fail me!"

Robotnik walked up the halls to the main bridge, where four crew-bots awaited his next orders. He went up to the head of the bridge and looked out over the warehouse. "Maintenance check!" shouted the eggman.

"Ship is fully dusted and cleaned." reported one robot in a monotone voice. "Engine has been port/polished, and extensively refreshed as good as new. Paint job fully fixed, computers fully functional.
Defensive systems one through five all active, and all engines are ready."
"Well, don't just stand there, open the base!" shouted Robotnik. He sat in the captains chair, watching the building around his magnificent ship. The roof of the giant building slowly opened. "Engines one through five, activating... Six through ten, activating.. We have lift off, Captain."



Meanwhile...

If you looked hard enough, you could see two figures zooming through the clouds towards Angel Island. The first one, with his red coat and all, was easily distinguishible as Knuckles the Echidna. The other one.. Well, can't be too sure of what it was yet. The two landed (and the camera angle zooms in on them), the other one now visible. She wore a black latex outfit with a bit of pink on top in the shape of a heart, and had dark purple eye-shadow. Her high-heel boots were steel-tipped and perfect for digging into the ground-- or into the hapless enemies who fight against her. I'm sure anyone can guess who she is after I mention her batlike wings. That's right, folks, it's Rouge!

After the incedent with ARK, Rouge decided to go to Angel Island with Knuckles. The place had been build up a bit, but not enough to ruin the mystique of it. The Emerald Shrine was very cautiously rebuilt to perfectly replicate its old look. And overall, the island wasn't as forbidding as it once was. Well, if you ignore the fact that it was floating hundreds of feet above sea level, anyway.


"So, what made you quit your day job?" asked Knuckles. He placed the Master Emerald back where it belonged, then took out the Chaos Emeralds and placed them in their rightful places around it. Rouge sighed. "Well, you of all people should know. It's too hard searching for jewels all day, and you rarely get enough pay to make a living."
"That's why I don't hunt for a living." said the Echidna, not too fond of having to search for the Master Emerald pieces again. Early in the adventure, before anyone knew about ARK or anything, Eggman had attempted to steal the Master Emerald. Knuckles shattered the Emerald so it couldn't be stolen, then he had to find the shards again. And after one last battle in space, Rouge gave up the pieces she found and flew off. "Besdies, what about your other job?"
"What other job?" Rouge asked.
"C'mon, everone knows you work for the President."
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too."
"If you must know, he fired me." said the bat. "Government, they tell you one thing, you do as they say, and they acuse you of breaking the law."


The two looked at eachother a second then busted out laughing. Suddenly, the island started rumbling. "Crud! Don't tell me it's falling again!" Knuckles said, dashing across the bridge to warn the inhabitants.

The busy, crowded street of panicked animals were quickly parting as an echidna and a bat dashe through. Knuckles had his voice magically amplified and shouted over all the noise. "Please, remain calm! This is nothing that hasn't happened before! Evacuate to the nearest base and wait for further instructions! I repeat, remain calm!" After hours of this, Knuckles stopped at the edge of a cliff and gazed downward. Rouge panted, catching up, muttering something like "How can you stand this job?" before noticing why the island was really rumbling...

The two fell backwards as a massive mile-long ship slowly ascended. The all-too-familiar emblem of Eggman was visible in the yellow-on-red paint job the ship had. "Eggman! I shoud've known!" shouted the echidna, but his voice was drowned out from the roar of engines and machinery. He jumped onto the ship, clinging his claws into it. Rouge did the same as she saw the ship about to take off, and then had to hold on for her life as it blazed off. Its speed could easily rival that of Sonic's even!



Down on the surface, everyone in Knothole was in an uproar as a huge blackening shadow overwhelmed them. As the shadow passed, a familiar wave of sonic booms were heard as a blue comet soared by after the ship. As the rumbling stopped, a blue jet could also be seen taking off after the ship, along with what appeared to be a two-tailed fox flying beside it.



Eggman laughed. "What a test run, what a show!" he said, before his wonder as interrupted by one of the Egg robots. "Sir!" shouted the droid, "Many blips are on our radar! We believe we are under attack!"
"What!? Who would be foolish enough--"
"Sir!" interrupted another one, running into the room. It had horrid gashes and boot-marks all over it.. "An echidna and a bat just infiltrated the hull!! We can't hold them back any longer, alert the others!" The badly damaged robot collapsed to the ground. The scientist snarled. "Activate Shield Generators One through Three! Deploy MS to deal with the pesky hedgehog, and get out there to shoot down that blasted fox-boy! And send in every robot in this ship, I want those two captured! Deploy my Walker in the bridge, I will help deal with them!" In a huge rush, Robots dashed everywhere as three layers of blue shieldings covered the ship. Cannons aimed in all directions and a capsule shot down to deal with Sonic. Swarms of jets shot out of the docking bay, and the fat madman hopped in his Egg Walker and marched behind an army of E-102 replicas.

"Well, in Sonic Adventure 2, if you should choose to delve into that area, Rouge and Knuckles kept hinting at some sort of relationship, despite their different lifestyles. Maybe you should try that, then make it fail somehow."
