CHAPTER 5
Rouge sat in her house reading one of her intelligence reports. She absently played with a lock of hair as she read. She sighed and put the papers down and rubbed her temples.
"I think that I need a break. How am I supposed to find out who stole the green chaos emerald? And with no real witnesses there? The damn camera didn't even pick up the steal! It fuzzed out! It's like. magic."
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Coming!"
Rouge went to the door. 'No one ever visits me. What is going on?' She opened the door and came face to face with Shadow and Tails.
"Oh! Hello! Shadow!? Oh my gosh! I thought that. Shadow welcome back!"
Rouge hugged Shadow. Shadow looked annoyed and pushed her off himself.
"We didn't come here for a happy visit, Rouge." Tails said.
"Oh. well come in." She led them into her house and into her small living room.
"Listen, Rouge," Shadow said, "we have a job for you."
"Rouge, we need you to find a location for us. Sonic has been captured and so has Amy." Tails paused, "And we think that they are both in Gigitanko Castle. That is where Sonic is and they're probably using her as bait."
Rouge sat there with a blank expression on her face. She shook her head and then said, "I have my own problems as well. Someone has been stealing the chaos-"
"Emeralds, we know." Shadow said.
"We can give you the lead on those, too. Two suspicious characters had the green chaos emerald. They may go after the others as well. They are from the same castle and have took Sonic as well!" Tails cried.
"Ah-ha! Find Sonic and I will find the culprit as well! Clever!" She shouted. "Lets get to work!"

Amy sat tied to a chair in a large room. The room was lighted well. It wasn't like the boys' cell. There was a grand carpet on the floor and a large bed in the corner. The room looked like someone's bedroom. Then, Lexxon came in the room and walked up to Amy.
"Let Sonic and me go! What are you after?" Amy asked.
"Who? Me? Or the Master maybe." Lexxon asked. He walked around her and untied her. She got up and sized herself up to him. She was about three and a half feet shorter than him. She shrugged it off and walked away from him. He stood with his back turned to her and began to unbutton his hood. Amy's eyes widened as it dropped to the floor.
"Oh my gosh!" Amy said. Standing in front of her was a full-grown Asian Tiger.
"My name is Lexxon." He said. He was a handsome creature to behold. His deep and green eyes made it seem like he was almost gentile, yet his muscles and powerful jaw scared Amy. He walked up to her and looked down at her.
"This is your room. I'm here to ask you questions." His voice was deep and masculine. Nothing like Sonic. But Amy wasn't into that kind of thing. She loved Sonic and nothing could change her mind.
"Like what questions?" Amy asked sitting on the bed. Lexxon stood facing her.
"Like 'Do you know where any of the Chaos Emeralds?'" He said. "Your little boyfriend won't say where."
"Well, if he says nothing, I'll say nothing." She crossed her arms and closed her eyes, turning her head the other way.
"Fine, Have it your way." Lexxon said. He exited the room and locked the door. Amy opened her eye a crack and looked at the door. Her eyes welled up with tears and she began to sob.
"Oh Sonic." She said quietly, "I am going to be the death of you." She sobbed again.

"Well, boys." Rouge said, "I have to be going now. I must go and report this new information to the President and then visit Knuckles. I think he can help me find the other chaos emeralds. You boys are going to look too, right?"
"Of course. Those thieves can't get the emeralds if they are going to hurt innocent people!" Tails said.
"Here Tails. Take this." Rouge gave Tails a cell phone. "If any thing should happen, just call me on this and I will come to you where ever you are. But don't call me over and over or I will ignore you."
"Can I call every time that we find a chaos emerald?" Tails asked.
"Of course, if anything do that!! Or if you should get captured or hurt. Got it?" She turned around and locked the door to her house. "See you soon boys!" She jumped off the ground and spread her wings and flew away. The boys stood there a minute and Shadow looked to Tails.
"Well, lets go then." Tails spun his tails together and they sped off. They were going through Aquatic Ruin when Tails stopped. Shadow slowed down.
"What's up?" Shadow asked.
"I think that there is a chaos emerald some where in this ruin." Tails walked over to a log and sat down.
"Neither of us has been here before-"
"Sonic and I have, long ago. When I was younger. Our first adventure together was to stop Eggman from taking over the world." Tails said, giggling. "It was loads of fun. But Sonic did put me into loads of danger as well. I guess he still is." Tails stopped short. He spotted a large altar near the mouth of the forest.
"Hey what's that?" Tails got up and went over to investigate. He looked on top of the great altar and saw the red emerald glimmering there like a ruby. Tails walked up to it.
"Shadow! It's another Chaos Emerald!" Shadow and Tails walked up to it and were about to take it when a mighty voice stopped them.
"Toucheth not, thine eyes may just look." The owner of the voice stepped out. It was a lion, about 30 or 31 years of age and very well grown. He had battle scars all over his body. Tails was frightened and put his tails between his legs. Shadow shielded Tails with his arm.
"What dost thine desire? Why art thou here?" The Lion asked.
"Were here to save the chaos emeralds before it is too late!" Shadow said.
"The chaos emerald!? The sacred stone?" The lion asked.
"Yes! The world is in grave danger." Tails said.
The lion studied Tails and Shadow deeply. He stared into their eyes as if judging their souls. He straightened himself up and replied, "Thine orange one may take it. I do not trust thou hedgehog." Shadow narrowed his eyes.
"If the world is in the danger that thine soul says that is. then you may take it."
"Thanks, um." tails said, inquiring to know his name.
"Sir Roland Smith at thine service." He said.
"Thank you Sir Roland." Tails said.
Tails walked up to the Chaos emerald and took it.
"A word of caution, young one. That emerald belongs to yonder tribe who-" He was cut off by loud whooping and racket in the bushes.
A large group of women jumped out of the bushes and surrounded Tails.
"Put gem back!" One shouted. She was obviously the leader by the way she was dressed.
"But ma'am! The world is in grave danger!" Tails shouted.
Fifteen women thrust out their spears.

When I started this story in July, I had no idea where it was going. But alas, it is September again and school has started. I have muchas tareas if you know what I mean. So the story will not be updated as often as I'd like it to. But I promise that I will set one FULL day aside for just writing this story for you people on FF.net. I am sorry for the shortness of this chapter but I had to give you a little more!
Love you peeps lots!
