Chp 03: Venus
Mystic Ruins
It was over quick. Amy smashed a hole in the roof and dropped in a smoke bomb, while Lock fired a round into Shadow's chest. The hedgehog fell in and incapacitated all but one. He managed to choke out, "Why, Amy?"
"The name is Venus." she kicked him in the jaw, knocking him out.
The Next Morning
Shadow pulled the last bullet from his chest and covered the wound with the Mini Emerald, healing it. "I'll rip him limb from limb."
"Calm down, Shadow." Mighty warned. "I've been beaten up to, so the thought of you ripping me apart is sickening." along with those two, Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Espio were awake. Vector, Lecko, Charmy and Big continued to doze.
"I can't believe Amy's with Lock. After all we went through." Sonic turned from his friends, tears in his eyes.
"It isn't a surprise." Knuckles said. "Amy, or Venus now, followed you around and became a hero because she loved. If she loves Lock, and he has the same feelings, she becomes a villain." he laughed. "We have had a bad run with the opposite sex. Tikal was a spirit, Rogue died, Cream went into shock, and now Amy is naming herself after a meat eating plant."
"And other guys haven't been problematic? Eggman, Nack, Lock, Endigo, Shine, Gerald… need I go on?" Tails turned back to his computer. He had been able to sneak a tracer on Lock. "Got a lock on their location. They're at a warehouse off of Route 99."
Shadow and Sonic both ran off, the former for revenge, the other for answers. Knuckles, Espio, and Tails ran to the Tornado and took to the skies.
Warehouse
The duo burst in and shot all over the building. They found no people, but a small TV. As they approached, it turned on. Lock spoke. "You thought we wouldn't know about your little trick. I feel sorry for you. But in the meantime…" the building blew up. The duo were engulfed in flames.
Meanwhile, the Tornado was caught in the explosion. One wing missing, Tails was having trouble. Over the engine, Espio shouted, "Keep her airborne as long as possible!" he jumped from his seat and landed gracefully on the land below. "Leaf Swirl!" the plane was gently lowered to the forest floor near the warehouse. They were lost.
"Should we go now?" Venus asked.
"You bet." Lock replied, a smile on his face.
