Chapter Ten: Explanations all around
Amy took in a deep breath, " well, from what she told and showed me her mother and father, Kara The Bat and Tye The Bat were put to death back on Mobious because they were killers."
" What kind of killers?" Huri asked, " I mean there are serial killers and mass murderers."
" They couldn't come up with a word for it, they killed in masses and one person at a time."
Everyone just stared at her as she explained.
" The strange thing was, they only killed mobians with genetic mutations."
" Like me?" Tails asked.
Amy only nodded; she couldn't form the word yes. Knuckles' gaze changed from intent one, to a look of pure fear.
" Oh no, Gen," he whispered under his breath.
" What was that?" Shadow asked.
" Gen, she's in danger!" Knuckles yelled.
Realization dawned on them as they realized what he ment. Gen was a cross between an echidna and a bat, making her not exactly normal.
" That jackass his going to go after his own granddaughter!" Huri yelled is disbelief.
" What about Page, Kage and Cream? Think he will go after them too?" Sonic asked worriedly.
Amy looked at her husband worriedly, " I-I real-really don't know."
Huri backed up into Shadow's arms, shaking her head in disbelief, " he wouldn't really kill kids would he?"
Amy stared at her, " most…of his victims were…..children under the age of ten."
The statement was so soft it was barley heard by the group, but it was. The cell was silent for a few minutes. Knuckles punched the wall behind him, denting it.
Tails slammed his fist on the ground, then stood up, " that settles it, we're getting out of here now!"
He walked over to the door and stuck his hand through the door. Carefully, he placed the hairpin in lock and stated to move it around. Unconsciously, he stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth. With a sudden 'click', he smiled and pulled his arm back into the cell.
" Ta da, instant freedom."
He slid the door sideways, opening it. Rouge lay on the ground, just staring up at her father and mother with hatred.
" Aren't you curious how we are still alive?" Tye asked.
Rouge just continued to stare at him, though she did want an answer to that question.
" We paid of the warden to switch the drugs around to a medicine that will temporarily stop the heart, but within minutes will restart it again. Then, after we were pronounced dead replacements were found and we switched places," Kara stated.
" Sick bastards," Rouge whispered.
Tye kicked her again in the gut and she screamed in pain. A plane landed slowly on the strange island.
" Are you sure this is the place?" Cream asked.
" Pretty positive, it feels right," Gen stated, hoping out of the plane.
" Scanners show ten heat signatures," Emerl said.
Page pondered on that for a second, " but only seven people went. Plus Tye is the bad guy. So that's eight, who are the other two?"
Kage shrugged, " why are you asking me?"
" I wasn't, I was just thinking out loud," Page pouted.
" Oh!" Kage said in understanding.
" Multiple enemies coming this way, preparing to attack," Gamma stated.
" Affirmative," Omega agreed.
" Do you think you can hold them off while we go save the others?" Cream asked.
" Affirmative," the three robots said in unison.
Cream nodded, " come on kids, we're going."
" But what about Omega, Gamma, and Emerl?"
" Relax Page, they can take care of themselves."
" Okay Auntie Cream."
They ran off, in the direction of the castle like base. As they ran, Gen saw something out of the corner of her eye.
" Heya I think I found something," Gen yelled.
She ran towards it, the others following her.
" What is it?" Page asked.
Kage fell down holding his head, " Ow! What the heck?"
Cream put her hands where Kage's head was when he was standing, and felt something solid. She moved her way up and smiled at what it was.
" It's the X-Tornado! That confirms that they are here!" Cream shouted with glee.
Gen grabbed a stick and poked the bag that was lying on the ground, it fell over to reveal a bag full of…
" Rings!" Gen shouted, " this must be Uncle Tails' bag of rings!"
Kage crawled over to them, fearing that if he stood up he would get hit again. Cream just walked over to them and picked the pack up, she put it on her shoulders.
" We'll take them with us, we can definitely use them," Cream stated as she ran off towards the castle/base again.
The kids just nodded and followed her.
" So what are you after this time?" Rouge demanded.
" We are going to finish what we started, we are going to purify the world and you my dear," Kara answered.
" What do you mean by that?"
Tye scoffed, " simple we are going to get rid of every freak on this plant and we are going to kill that damned echidna that tainted you."
Rouge eyes went wide in shock, " you leave him alone! He is my husband and I love him very much!"
" I don't care, we will soak you in his and your daughter's blood and you will be purified."
" No, don't hurt them please!" Rouge begged.
" Guards, take her to her room and make sure she can't escape!"
Nickel came up to Tye and whispered something in his ear, then bowed and walked away. Tye just kept smirking as guards grabbed Rouge's arms and legs. She tried to get free, but just couldn't.
" It seems we may get to purify you sooner then we thought, your daughter has come to us."
" No please! Don't hurt them! Leave them alone!" she screamed as the guards took her away.
Kara wrapped her arms around Tye as he laughed.
" Man, where are we?" Sonic asked.
" How am I supposed to know!" Tails retorted.
" Because you know everything! Duh!" Sonic stated.
Shadow growled and hit Sonic on the back of the head, " shut up or we are going to get caught."
They were walking down some strange hallway, checking every door looking for Rouge. Also, they were looking for Amy and Huri's weapons. Huri opened another door and a smirk crossed her lips. She entered the room and grabbed Amy's hammer, and her sais. Carefully, she walked back out of the door, though it was really hard seeing how Huri couldn't figure out how to make Amy's hammer shrink.
" Amy!" she whispered loudly, " Amy, help!"
Amy walked over by her, and her eyes instantly lit up, " my hammer! Oh I have missed it! Thank you Huri!"
She took the hammer from Huri and pressed a button, it instantly shrunk.
" Your welcome, I also found my sais! My beautiful sais!"
" Heya can we move it along?" Knux asked, a little annoyed that they were gossiping.
Here they were, trying to save the world not to mention his wife and kids and their kids, and they were talking about their weapons. The nerve of them.
" Sorry Knuckles, we're just happy we have them back," Amy said nervously.
Huri nodded, " yeah sor….."
" Let me go damn it!" someone screamed.
Robots were carrying a white female bat, which was struggling to get free.
" Let me go!" she screamed again.
Everyone smiled as they recognized who it was, " Rouge!"
They ran at the robots, ready to fight. The robots saw them and dropped Rouge on the floor, and readied their guns. Rouge jumped into the air and just kicked their heads off. The other's stopped running and just stood their. Rouge stopped fuming and saw him.
She smiled and ran towards him, tears in her eyes as she hugged him. He hugged her back and started laughing.
" Rouge! I'm so glad you're okay!" he kissed her on the lips, then hugged her tighter.
" Knuckles! I'm so glad my father and mother didn't get to you! How did you escape?"
" Tails picked the locks."
" We've gotta find Gen! Before he gets to her!"
" What do you mean? Gen is safe with Cream and the boys, we've gotta stop your parents!"
" No, they are here! On the island!"
Everyone was shocked at what she said, Cream and the kids were on the island?
" Do you know where they put the Chaos Emeralds? Or have any idea where they would put them?" Shadow asked.
Rouge nodded, " I know exactly where they are."
She broke the embrace with Knuckles, and started walking in the direction the robots had just come from.
