The stage is set…….
Rouge awoke slowly and found herself laying on her back looking up at a very familiar ceiling. She sat up slowly and looked around. Now she was sure she had been in this room before. It was a very large room and the ceiling was black and white striped. The room was beautifully decorated with black and whit furniture. She looked down at herself and saw that she had on a black tight leather uniform with the letters G.S.F. printed on the side of the right thigh. She had on boots very similar to her own only they were black leather and the heels on them were narrower. She looked to her right and saw Spike sitting on a large black couch looking at her blankly. Without thinking she sprang up from the bed she was on and rushed over to were he was sitting with her arms spread out. Spike stood up and opened his arms too. Rouge ran into him hard and threw her arms around him put her head on his chest and started crying.
"You've become quite the looker." He said with a smile. Rouge pulled away from him and wiped her eyes. "SHUT UP!" She shouted. And she kicked him hard in the shin. Spike cried out in pain and grabbed his leg. "What was that for!?" He shouted back. Without answering, Rouge knelt down with him and hugged him again. "FOR LETTING ME LIVE IN PAIN! FOR LETTING ME LIVE WITH THE THOUGHT OF YOU BEING DEAD! FOR NOT LETTING ME KNOW YOU WERE STILL ALIVE! FOR MAKING ME THINK I FAILED TO PROTECT MY LITTLE BROTHER! I……I HATE YOU!" Rouge shouted in complete tears. Spike sighed, put his head in hers and hugged her back. "Rouge you know how things are around here……I was simply following orders." Spike replied. "Yeah, I guess your orders are more important than me, huh?" Rouge said with her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry for troubling you……you've always been important to me Rouge. You and Spear both. I'll die for you if the situation calls for it. Now stop crying it's ok now sis." Spike said with a look of love in his eyes. Rouge stood, looked at the floor and wiped his eyes. "There hasn't been a moment that I didn't long to see you again since that day…." Spike said as he grabbed her hand. "How….how are you still alive? What REALLY happened? TELL ME DAMNIT!" Rouge shouted.
Spike lifted his hands revealing that he had on leather gloves with silver rings tightly placed on his center fingers. Part of his chain rested in his right hand and only one button on his jacket was buttoned right in the middle. Rouge looked at his rings with wide eyes. Her eyes became teary again and she fell to her knees and hugged herself. "M-my god……tell me it isn't true…….no…..it's not true! He's still alive! Please let him be still alive too!" Rouge said looking up at her big brother. "No…..he's dead….father's dead Rouge. And so is mother….. I'm in charge now." Spike said lifting Rouge back to her feet. Rouge's eyes were full of tears now. She refused to look up at Spike and she kept her arms folded. "How did they die? Mother should still be alive….she took no part in the G.S.F. SO HOW CAN SHE BE DEAD!?" Rouge shouted.
Spike lowered his head and looked at the floor. "They…..had her assassinated." Spike informed. Rouge's eyes got wide and she looked him with a blank look. She put her hand on top of her head and started breathing hard. She looked up and let out a very loud scream that surprised her brother. Spike took her bye the shoulders and shook her snapped her out of her temporary insanity. "Rouge! Calm down! She's been dead for a long time now!" Spike said as he hugged her again. "BUT WHY!? WHY HER!? SHE DID NOTHING TO THEM! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Rouge shouted with her eyes closed. "I DON'T EITHER! BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT IF WE'RE SEPARATED!" Spike shouted back. "W-what are you saying? That I should come back? Is that it!?" Rouge asked with tense eyes. Spike stared strait into her eyes and tensed up. "If that's your wish then it's done, but from your tone I don't see that happening." Spike said as he turned and walked toward the window with his chain dragging. Rouge watched him with a tense and angered look. She looked down at herself again and sighed at the sleek leather G.S.F. outfit. "What's with the uniform?" She asked. "I thought I'd make it feel like home again…" Spike answered looking out the window.
"It'll NEVER feel like home again Spike." Rouge said walking over to him. "I guess the commission left you in charge of this mission, huh?" Rouge said leaning her head on Spike's shoulder. "Yeah…..at first they didn't though." Spike replied still looking out the window. "And that's why your were almost killed in the beginning……Shadow…..is he good fighter?" Spike asked looking down at Rouge. "Do you think he would have made it this far if he wasn't?" Rouge replied. "Heh….good point. From what I hear he is quite amazing. I guess puppy love wasn't enough for you." Spike said turning back toward the center of the large room. "Spike……how did daddy die?" Rouge asked with sad eyes. Spike stopped in his tracks and looked down at the floor. He showed his teeth and closed his eyes. He turned and looked at Rouge. "That's not important." Spike said walking back toward Rouge. "I missed you Rouge……All I ever wanted to do was make a better life for you and Spear." Spike said moving his bangs away from his eyes. "Well you certainly succeeded with Spear….." Rouge replied. Spike grinned at her and turned his back to her. "You still never got that spar I owed you." Spike said with a devious grin on his face. "Keep it……you'll more than likely maul me if I did." Rouge replied. Spike cocked his eyebrow and turned to face her again. "Well you true changed a lot. If it were four years ago you would have leaped at the chance to fight me." Spike said folding his arms. "Spike….answer my question." Rouge said approaching him again.
"You mean father?" Spike asked. "Yeah, father. Now what happened to him?" Rouge asked with her hands on her hips. Spike looked at the ground and let out a long sigh. His eyes started getting teary but he didn't cry. He looked up at his sister and spoke. "The commission…..they said you had the potential to surpass me and father. They said you'd be better off if you worked alone…." Spike said crossing his arm and pausing. Then he let out another sigh and continued. "So they ordered us to fake a death. After you were sure that we were dead….I got an order to kill dad." Spike informed still looking at the ground. "No…..you didn't….." Rouge said with wide eyes. "OF COURSE I DIDN'T! I COULD NEVER BETRAY FATHER!" Spike shouted as he lifted his fist. "I was enraged. They were trying to tear us apart, Rouge. We were too strong as one and they feared us! I couldn't do it! I had already lost my only sister and now they wanted to take my father as well!" Spike shouted with tears in his eyes. "So to get revenge……I killed the one who gave me that order. It felt good to finally rebel against those bastards. To feel his blood run down my hands……" Spike said as he walked slowly toward Rouge.
Rouge didn't change her expression and looked at him waiting for him to continue. "After I murdered him they came for me. They were going to execute me but……father….." Spike stopped and clenched his fist and showed his teeth. "Fought them for me……He said he wouldn't let them kill me without a fight…..and he died….because of my actions…." Spike said in a dull tone. "I was driven to near madness. Thoughts of watching them die by my hands plagued my mind like a disease. And then they showed mercy for me and let me live and take over the G.S.F. unit in fathers place. And to hurt my pride even more the killed our mother." Spike said in a tense voice. Tears were rolling down his cheeks but he had an angered look on his face. "I felt completely helpless……that is until the A.R.K. incident." He said turning to face her again and Rouge eyes slowly got wide.
Sonic and Amy had rented a hotel room on the far side of town. Sonic was standing outside on the balcony watching the sky. Amy was inside watching tv and every now and then she would glance over at him and sigh. They were together but they weren't as close as Amy wanted them to be. It was kind of obvious that he was homesick and he been that way for nearly five years. "Five long fucked up years." Amy thought as she watched him. His quills were waving in the wind and he seemed to be thinking hard about something. He never shared anything with her and that kind of pissed her off. It seemed like every time she asked him what was bothering him she always go a "I'd rather not talk about it" or a "It's nothing." And Amy hated that. "Alright Maurice "Sonic" the hedgehog. You are going to talk to me and that's final." Amy thought as she stood and walked toward the glass balcony door. She had longed to be by his side ever since the day she first saw him. And now that she finally got her wish something still wasn't right. Sonic seemed too hung to the past to accept her. Amy only wanted to be close to him but it seemed hopeless. She slowly slid the door to the side and stepped out onto the balcony. She approached the azure hedgehog and wrapped her arms around his waist. Sonic put his arm around her and continued to watch the sky. "What is it?" Sonic asked with a dull tone. "Sonic……what's bothering you?" Amy asked with her eyes closed.
"Noth…." Sonic started but his sentence was cut short by Amy. "No…..something is….I've been around you long enough to tell, Sonic." Amy added in interruption. Sonic stared at her with his average expression. He slowly turned his head and looked toward the ground and narrowed his eyes. He remained silent for a couple seconds. "Just….thinking about home." Sonic said still looking at the ground. "Yeah….but that's not all your thinking about, is it?" Amy asked with her eyes still closed. "N…No….it's not….." He added as he lifted his head back toward the sky. "Then what is?" Amy asked. Right when Sonic was about to speak, Amy's cell phone rang. Amy started to go back inside to get it ,but Sonic went in before she could. He walked over to the table and picked it up. "Hello?" He said in the usual phone greeting. "Sonic? Is that you?" A familiar voice said. Sonic narrowed his eyes and replied. "What the hell do you want, Shadow?" Sonic asked staring over at Amy. "I'm afraid we have to leave the city. Your little friend got spotted." Shadow said with his usual cold tone.
"So why are you so worried about me?" Sonic asked with a little anger. "Will you stop being a dick for one second!? Tails is injured REAL bad. We have to regroup and leave the city." Shadow added. "Damn! Is he ok!?" Sonic asked. "You worry about the kid too much…..he's fine….or he will be in a couple more minutes." Shadow informed. "So why such a hurry? It could take them days to find us." Sonic said staring back over at Amy who had a worried look on her face. "I'll show you…..go on the roof and look at the street." Shadow ordered. "Why?" Sonic asked with an annoyed tone. "Just do it!" Shadow snapped back. If Sonic wasn't so curious he would have hung up in Shadow's face. But since he was he did as he said. He went out on the balcony and ran up the wall to the top and peered down on the street. "I don't see anything." Sonic said as he scanned the street. "There's not a soul down there." Sonic continued. "My point exactly." Shadow said with a chuckle. "I don't get it. What does it mean?" Sonic asked.
Just then a dark figure dropped next to Sonic. Sonic leapt back and fell. "HOLY FUCK!" Sonic shouted as he got back to his feet. "Whoa calm down! It's only me!" The figure said. Sonic sighed and narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong!? What is it!?" Shadow shouted. "Nothing……It's only knuckles." Sonic said as he put the phone up to his cheek again. "So what do you mean about the street." Sonic asked shadow while giving Knuckles a death glare. "Idiot! Doesn't that seem weird to you!? It's only nine thirty and there's not a car on the street." Shadow said in a annoyed tone. "That is weird…." Sonic added. "No. you think?" Shadow said sarcastically. "Don't start with me asshole." Sonic said turning toward the broad side of the roof. "Yeah what ever. Just get your ass over to the park. I'll meet you there in about three hours." Said shadow. "Three hours? Why so long?" Sonic asked looking at the damaged moon. "Rouge left….I be there when she gets back. Until then…..I don't know. Bone that woman of yours or something." Shadow said with laughter.
After that last comment Sonic didn't waste time to hang up in Shadow's face. "Bastard…." Sonic said as he faced Knuckles. Knuckles folded his arms and narrowed his eyes. "Do you mind telling me what the hell is going on?" Knuckles said in an annoyed tone. "Tikal didn't tell you? G.U.N. is after us…..because of that bastard Shadow. And if you came here looking for the bat chick you already missed your chance." Sonic said walking toward the edge of the building. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean!? I didn't come her looking for her! Tikal just told me you guys needed help so…." Before Knuckles could finish Sonic cut him off. "Being the gentleman you are. You gladly excepted this mission that your one true love assigned you." Sonic said slowly taking off his gloves.
"W-WHAT!? I Don't know what you're talking about! Me and Tikal aren't……." Before knuckles could finish Sonic cut him off yet again. "Oh c'mon knux. You might not be dating, but the only reason why you haven't tried yet is because she isn't exactly "Among the living." That part is obvious." Sonic said with a taunting smile. Knuckles tensed and showed his teeth. "Do you think I have time for a woman!?" Knuckles shouted. "You would if she had the same job you do……" Sonic replied. Knuckles was speechless after that last remark. He was struck silent by the obvious truth. Sonic just chuckled a bit then leaped off the side off the building and landed on the balcony of him and Amy's hotel room. After he left Knuckles shuddered with anger and flopped down and sat in Indian style.
Sonic landed perfectly on the balcony and turned and faced the glass sliding door. He figured that Amy had to be asleep due to the lights being off. He opened the door and walked inside. He sat Amy's cell down on the table and walked over to the light switch. When he did to his surprise Amy was standing in front of him. But it wasn't just that. She was turned around and bent over and she was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear with the word "Sonic" Printed across the back. She turned her head and winked at him. Sonic's eyes were kind of widened by the sight but that expression soon turned to a smile and he turned the lights back off.
"No…..you can't……you…..fool…" Rouge said with wide eyes at Spike. Spike grinned at her and turned around causing his jacket to twirl like a cape. "I've already done it. All that's left is it's intelligence and it'll be complete…..then vengeance is ours." Spike said picking up a shuriken off the table to the left. "N-no….SPIKE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! THAT THING HAS THE POWER TO KILL OFF ALL THE LIFE ON MOBIUS! SPIKE THINK ABOUT THIS. PLEASE!" Rouge shouted trying to convince her brother. "I already have sis….." Spike said twirling the shuriken around in his hand. "Spike…..if you go through with this…..I have no choice but to kill you…" Rouge said going slowly in a fighter stance. Spike turned and faced her in surprise. He raised his hand and tossed the shuriken at her head. And in the blink of an eye it had went past her head and cut her across the neck. Rouge lost her breath when she saw it and stood in fear. Her eyes were wide and slowly but steadily she caught her breath again. Spike lowered his fingers and narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be a fool, Rouge. I don't want to have to kill you, but I will if necessary." Spike said with a tense tone of voice. "D-damn you….." Rouge said. With that she turned and walked toward the door. She stopped and turned to see Spike looking out the window. Tears started rolling down her cheek and she opened her mouth to speak. She hesitated but finally got it out. "Please reconsider , Spike. I just want things to go back normal." Rouge said in complete tears. Spike lifted his head but didn't face her. And with that Rouge ran out the door. Spike turned and faced the door for a little then he looked out the window again.
Rouge slowly walked down the hallway with her head faced to the ground. She heard a woman humming down the hallway. She looked up to see a half squirrel half raccoon mobian woman with tan fur leaned against the wall. She had on a G.S.F. uniform similar to her only she had on tight shorts that were at least six inches above her thighs. She had on black high heels and she had bright blue eyes in her hair hung to her shoulders. "So…..you're the little miss perfect Spike always talks about?" Aria said stepping in Rouges path. "And just who the hell are you?" Rouge asked with an annoyed tone of voice. "The name's Aria…..me and your brother are……close." She said stepping closer to Rouge. Rouge narrowed her eyes some. "I see…." She said moving to the side of Aria. "Well, tell him if he comes anywhere near me and Shadow I'll kill him" She said slowly walking toward the elevator. Aria put her left hand on her hip and grinned. "Sure…..I'll tell him in bed tonight after I clear his mind of you….." Aria said with a devious grin. That last comment struck a nerve in Rouge's mind. She quickly turned around and charged at Aria. And that's just want Aria wanted and she grinned as she got ready to fight. But before any blow was thrown a gunshot was heard and a bullet flew past their heads.
They both turned and looked in the direction it came from to see Spear holding a gun with smoke coming from the barrel. "Leave Aria…..now." Spear said lowering his gun. Aria snarled at him as she did what he said and walked off in the opposite direction he was facing. Spear looked over at Rouge and smiled. "There's a helicopter up top waiting for you……..goodbye….." Spear said softly. Without speaking Rouge pushed the up button on the side of the elevator. While she has waiting she walked over to Spear and hugged him. When the elevator door opened she kissed him on the cheek and slowly backed into the elevator. She waved by to him as the door slowly shut.

Sonic and Amy had rented a hotel room on the far side of town. Sonic was standing outside on the balcony watching the sky.

I didn't come her looking for her! Tikal just told me you guys needed help so…." Before Knuckles could finish Sonic cut him off. "Being the gentleman you are. You gladly excepted this mission that your one true love assigned you." Sonic said slowly taking off his gloves.
"W-WHAT!? I Don't know what you're talking about! Me and Tikal aren't……." Before knuckles could finish Sonic cut him off yet again. "Oh c'mon knux. You might not be dating, but the only reason why you haven't tried yet is because she isn't exactly "Among the living." That part is obvious." Sonic said with a taunting smile.

After he left Knuckles shuddered with anger and flopped down and sat in Indian style.
Sonic landed perfectly on the balcony and turned and faced the glass sliding door. He figured that Amy had to be asleep due to the lights being off. He opened the door and walked inside. He sat Amy's cell down on the table and walked over to the light switch. When he did to his surprise Amy was standing in front of him. But it wasn't just that. She was turned around and bent over and she was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear with the word "Sonic" Printed across the back. She turned her head and winked at him. Sonic's eyes were kind of widened by the sight but that expression soon turned to a smile and he turned the lights back off.
"No…..you can't……you…..fool…" Rouge said with wide eyes at Spike. Spike grinned at her and turned around causing his jacket to twirl like a cape. "I've already done it. All that's left is it's intelligence and it'll be complete…..then vengeance is ours." Spike said picking up a shuriken off the table to the left. "N-no….SPIKE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! THAT THING HAS THE POWER TO KILL OFF ALL THE LIFE ON MOBIUS! SPIKE THINK ABOUT THIS. PLEASE!" Rouge shouted trying to convince her brother. "I already have sis….." Spike said twirling the shuriken around in his hand. "Spike…..if you go through with this…..I have no choice but to kill you…" Rouge said going slowly in a fighter stance. Spike turned and faced her in surprise. He raised his hand and tossed the shuriken at her head. And in the blink of an eye it had went past her head and cut her across the neck. Rouge lost her breath when she saw it and stood in fear. Her eyes were wide and slowly but steadily she caught her breath again. Spike lowered his fingers and narrowed his eyes.
"Don't be a fool, Rouge. I don't want to have to kill you, but I will if necessary." Spike said with a tense tone of voice. "D-damn you….." Rouge said. With that she turned and walked toward the door. She stopped and turned to see Spike looking out the window. Tears started rolling down her cheek and she opened her mouth to speak. She hesitated but finally got it out. "Please reconsider , Spike. I just want things to go back normal." Rouge said in complete tears. Spike lifted his head but didn't face her. And with that Rouge ran out the door. Spike turned and faced the door for a little then he looked out the window again.
Rouge slowly walked down the hallway with her head faced to the ground. She heard a woman humming down the hallway. She looked up to see a half squirrel half raccoon mobian woman with tan fur leaned against the wall. She had on a G.S.F. uniform similar to her only she had on tight shorts that were at least six inches above her thighs. She had on black high heels and she had bright blue eyes in her hair hung to her shoulders. "So…..you're the little miss perfect Spike always talks about?" Aria said stepping in Rouges path. "And just who the hell are you?" Rouge asked with an annoyed tone of voice. "The name's Aria…..me and your brother are……close." She said stepping closer to Rouge. Rouge narrowed her eyes some. "I see…." She said moving to the side of Aria. "Well, tell him if he comes anywhere near me and Shadow I'll kill him" She said slowly walking toward the elevator. Aria put her left hand on her hip and grinned. "Sure…..I'll tell him in bed tonight after I clear his mind of you….." Aria said with a devious grin. That last comment struck a nerve in Rouge's mind. She quickly turned around and charged at Aria. And that's just want Aria wanted and she grinned as she got ready to fight. But before any blow was thrown a gunshot was heard and a bullet flew past their heads.
They both turned and looked in the direction it came from to see Spear holding a gun with smoke coming from the barrel. "Leave Aria…..now." Spear said lowering his gun. Aria snarled at him as she did what he said and walked off in the opposite direction he was facing. Spear looked over at Rouge and smiled. "There's a helicopter up top waiting for you……..goodbye….." Spear said softly. Without speaking Rouge pushed the up button on the side of the elevator. While she has waiting she walked over to Spear and hugged him. When the elevator door opened she kissed him on the cheek and slowly backed into the elevator. She waved by to him as the door slowly shut.
