Chapter 1
It has been two years since the Ark Incident
Styles Change.
Minds wander.
But people, and feelings, remain the same.
"Has it really been that long?" I asked a familiar golden kitsune. "Sure has Knuckles!" 'Wow.' I thought to myself. 'I wonder how Rouge is doing . . .' "Knuckles! Go out and see the city!" "Why bother Tails?" I cross my arms and frown at him. Yes, The city does sound nice, and yeah, it has been two years since any excitement has happened, other than Angel Island permanently falling into the ocean. "Oh just come on! At least go at night!" "Fine . . . I need food anyways." I gave in, although in truth, there was enough food on the island to support me to the end of time. So I went back to the shrine after Tails left, and went in my house. It was rushed build but stable, it's strange though. After I built it, I found books everywhere, filled with stories of ancient times, and something about a Chaos Onyx.
Evening came around, and I started to sense something with great power, a power that rivaled the Master Emerald. Immediately I ran out of my house and towards Station Square.
I got on the train to the city, not much happened, but the source of the power was getting closer as time went on.
After the train stopped and I departed, I swear I saw something oddly white, and moving to the exit. I jumped down from the tracks, ignoring yells from some people who I must have scared, and out the door, only to see a glimpse of a black and pink suit turn a corner. I followed silently, only to find her, a white bat, in a black body suit, with a heart on the torso area, as well with white boots with hearts at the tips, and long white gloves, looking at a jewel store. "Rouge the Bat." I call her name. "Stalking people now are we echidna?" She doesn't even look away from the store. I blush, then approach her. "I thought you said you would give up this line of work?" "Exactly why this store is open. I retired from my government job after the Ark incident . . ." She paused and I felt grief within me.
Flash Back
"STOP FOOLING AROUND AND GIVE ME BACK MY EMERALD!"
. . .
"I'm Sorry, if I hurt you."
End Flash back
"It has been two years." I broke the silence. "Yes it has Knuckles. Yes it has." I suddenly had an urge to look up, as did she. It seemed at that exact moment, despite all the lights and flashes, a shooting star soared overhead. I wished . . . "Make a wish." She said to me. "I already have." I chuckled. A pause. "It is good to see you again Knucklehead." She said to me, I chuckled and looked at her. "Starting to talk like Sonic eh?" "Hah! Just for your information, I only had ONE conversation with the Blue Hedgehog, and all he did was babble something about Roses. Haven't heard from him since." She chuckled "So how did you find my so called nickname?" "I heard Sonic call you that after we left Ark." "Oh." "Come with me Knuckles, I have something I've been meaning to show you." My eyebrow quirks, and I follow her lead.
