Chp 02: Gathering
Chaotix HQ 2.0
Espio jumped out of the way just as Lock's sword thrust into his pillow. "Look what the cat dragged in."
"Hey!" Big said angrily. The cat, along with Mighty and Lecko, had been forced to stay with the Chaotix at the new HQ. It had been one of the buildings put up for survivors of the Station Square incident.
"Sorry, buddy." the chameleon replied, catching Lock's sword before it could hit him. "I see you got a new toy. What happened to the bombs?"
He smirked. "My apprentice showed me how inefficient they are. They don't feed the hunger for the sight of blood."
"Your what?" before he could get his answer, Mighty had attacked his dark counterpart, sending him through the window. He jumped after him, but he was already gone.
"What the hell was that?!" Espio shouted, losing his cool. "I thought we had a guard staying up!"
"We did, but we got a call from Tails, so I answered." Lecko spoke, his voice ridden with guilt.
"We can take care of it later." Vector spoke, taking charge. "Right now, we have to get to the
Mystic Ruins
Shadow was the last to arrive and it was unexpected. No one had been able to contact him directly, but he always knew when to come. He had become more withdrawn after Rogue's death, but he had also become more vicious. The moonlight shone on the warriors through the sunroof. Tail's had stopped trying to fix it after all of the times it was destroyed.
"Are you sure it was Amy?" Knuckles asked, shocked by the news.
"I'm positive! She has chased me long enough for me to know what she looks like. I just can't understand why she stole a shard of a Chaos Emerald."
"I think I might know, but you won't like it." Espio said, stepping from the shadows. "Earlier, we were attacked by Lock. He said he had an apprentice. It sounds like it's Amy."
"I can't believe she could betray us this way. We were her friends. Why?"
"I think I can tell you, blue friend!" Big replied, his usual, cheerful tone present. "On the boat, Amy seemed to be fond of Lock. She even asked him a lot about his life. It was probably because he saved her life."
"What did he do?!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Amy fell over the side and Lock jumped in and saved her."
"That might explain why she is working for Lock. She started following me because I saved her from Metal. She fell in love with him because he saved her."
"The thing is, what do we do now?"
"You die." the heroes looked up, hearing the same words Endigo had said over a year ago. But now, it was Lock, Amy standing next to him.
