New Beginnings
Before I begin, yes I realize that the chapters are short. Considering the fact that the original fiction was about 3 or 4 pages long, and currently, the chapters of this fiction are about a page long each, I think I made an improvement. Also note that the storyline has changed drastically . . . Anyways! On with the show!
Chapter 3
Time seemed to have stopped while we were walking from the entrance of the Ice Cave, to Angel Island. To think, I was once stubborn when it came to love. However, the instant I met Rouge, I knew . . . that the stubbornness had to end! I do admit to being ignorant, as the Master Emerald did come first . . . at the time . . . but now, I think I have something . . . someone else . . . to guard.
In what seemed to take forever, we finally arrived at my house. "It's a mess in here." I warned Rouge. "Only you . . ." She scoffed. "What does that mean!?" I yell, a little to harshly. "Oh nothing, your just messy, but I like ya anyways!" She punched me in the arm, laughed, and watched me open the door.
"Lets see here . . ." I grab two books on the Chaos Onyx, giving one to Rouge, we walk over to my round table, sit, and begin to read. In about two minutes I find something interesting worth saying. "Rouge, listen to this: The Chaos Onyx requires a guardian just like the Master Emerald, and this guardian must be of the same race as the other." "Hmm . . . So that means that the guardian of the Chaos Onyx is an echidna?" I nod "But aren't you the las- Oh, your 'Brother'." I could hear the accent on that last word. "Yes, I knew I sensed the Onyx when I came down to Station Square, but running into you . . . had to be pure luck." I say, smiling. I saw her blush, and that made me smile more. "So . . ." She spoke up, "What should we do about Death Fist?" "I don't know, but we better find him, and the Chaos Onyx, fast." "Wait . . . what's this?" I move over to her side of the table and look at her book. I saw something that made my eyes widen: "The Chaos Onyx corrupts its guardian after 10 years, the only way to get rid of the corruption is to either destroy the guardian, or the Onyx." They make it sound easy. "Knuckles?" Rouge asks, "How long have you been guarding the Master Emerald?" I sense a tone of worry in her voice. "Ten years." I say hesitantly.
