Sonic Generations: Children of the Legends

Chapter 2- Introductions

The three youths sat in silence, Ronic driving the RV across the desert, while Shade sat in the passenger seat and Chance lay on the floor towards the back. Though this would seem to be a peaceful scene Shade was boiling with anger. The guys were not aware of it apparently as Ronic was cheerfully driving while humming a tune and Chance appeared to be resting. After another minute of this silence Shade couldn't take it anymore and yelled out" IS ANYONE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING, OR DO I HAVE TO?" The sudden noise surprised Ronic, who veered off the road for a second.

" Jeez, I didn't know it was wrong to hum hip-hop!" Ronic replied.

" This isn't about your humming or hip-hop! It's about you just letting THAT guy come with us!" She said, emphasizing 'that'.

Ronic looked to the weary fox then looked to Shade then took a few looks both ways then said"……….He seems fine to me!"

"FINE! He's obviously a lying, cheating, womanizing, no-good sneak that tried to get us to fight some dumb-asses he stole money from!"

"Hey!" Chance said, acknowledging the two for the first time since they started talking"………….I'm not a sneak!"

"I don't care!" Shade yelled at the fox" That doesn't change the fact that you were going to leave us to fight those idiots!"

Chance looked at Shade for a moment then turned to Ronic asking" Does she ALWAYS complain this much?"

"Yeah, but I don't really listen to what she says………… What are we talking about?" He replied, forgetting what the whole thing had been about.

Shade let out a loud groan as she said" You two shouldn't talk like this to a lady!"

"A lady?" Chance said as he smirked and looked around" Show me one and I'll stop!"

"Ha ha!" Ronic laughed as he tried to concentrate on the driving" That was hilarious! We are going to get along fine Ch-"Ronic was interrupted by a loud POW and turned to see a panting Shade standing over Chance, who was bleeding and holding his face.

"DAMN! For a girl you hit pretty freaking hard!" He yelled as Shade turned around and walked towards the front.

"You got beat! That was SO freaking funny, I wish I had seen-"Ronic stopped as he saw Shade appear at his side and say with a dark and sinister smile on her face" You laughed Ronic…….. You get your turn……."

"Wait, Shade! I'm……. Driving! You're not supposed to hit a dr-"

The three were sitting in silence again, except Ronic had an ice-pack on his head and Chance was rubbing his face. Deciding to break the silence again, Shade turned to the fox and asked" Since your going to be traveling with us I want some answers."

"Fire away………" he replied in a quiet voice, knowing what she would do if he insulted her.

"What's with your tails?"

"These?" He replied as he looked at the three waving appendages" I have them because of some stupid mutation that's been in my family since my……… Great-Great……….Great-……… I don't remember how many Greats but I know it started with that nerd……"

"Nerd?"

"Yeah the wuss was some sort of an inventor. He was a child prodigy that built a plane when he was like six."

"Whoa, six!" Ronic said, clearly impressed by Chance, though it's not really that hard to do.

"Yeah……. Anyway he came up with all these inventions and made an assload of money that my family's been living on for generations. The only way a loser like him could get a girl, I figure. And so since then at least one person in my family has been a natural inventor, usually the first born."

"If you have all that money then why have you been stealing and all this stuff?"

"For a long time now no one in my family has been a super nerd like ol' Gramps so the money hasn't really been pouring in. Plus they were all looking at me like 'He has three tails! That must be a sign!', 'You're very smart sonny!' and 'My love, you are a true genius!'!" Chance said, making faces as he spoke for the other people.

"My love?" Ronic asked as he and Shade looked in confusion.

" Don't ask!... So I got pissed and ran away last year. Been doing fine without Super Prodigy's legacy hanging above my head!" He said, putting his arms behind his head.

The RV was then filled with silence until Ronic said" You must not like your family…."

"Hell yeah! I hate them and that stupid town too…….. But I still love these tails! They might look odd, but they let me fly and attract some chicks. They're the only good thing my family…… hell, my ancestry gave me!... So……. what about your family, blue?" He asked resting from the anger filled talk he had, apparently taking a lot out of him.

" I don't……… have or even know any of my family………" Ronic replied, not looking from the road.

Chance looked surprised then ashamed and depressed." Oh……….."

Once again there was silence in the RV, this time caused by Chance's forsaking of his family when Ronic didn't have one. Shade looked from one to the other without moving then got a frown on her face as she thought( Am I always going to be the one to start a conversation?), then turned to Chance again asking" So………. Let's see…….. Where did you get that staff from? It extends and retracts. I've never seen anything like it."

"This?..." Chance replied, still looking ashamed and sort of surprised that either of them wanted to talk to him after how mean he had been" I've had it since I was seven if I remember….. Yeah, I remember when…..uh, my father made it for me. Over the years he kept adding all these features onto it until I left. I suppose it's the OTHER good thing my family gave me." He said looking towards Ronic as if to make amends for his comments earlier.

"What features?" Shade asked.

"Like you saw it extends and retracts, but it also bends, breaks to make two, thickens, and even sharpens!" He said as the edge suddenly became very sharp, like a spears edge.

"Sharp……" Shade said nervously.

"Don't worry! I rarely use that to fight!" Chance said as he got a calming smile on his face. "This thing is my greatest treasure. It's the only thing I own that I would never sell. No amount of money is worth this thing……"

Shade smiled, knowing that Chance DID have some form of a conscience and a soft side at that.

Noticing her smile he quickly put a defensive face on saying" B-but, I'd still sell all of your things! And speaking of your things what's with the sword, blue?"

Ronic, even though he was driving, pulled out his sword and showed it to Chance while Shade( thankfully) grabbed the wheel to keep them from crashing." This sword is only piece of my family I have, which is why I treasure it so much. Even though it's so big I can fight with it if I use both hands."

" Interesting……. Where did it come from?" Chance replied, taking careful look at the details.

"I don't know really, though I've been told it goes all the way back to my ancestor, Sonic."

" That guy?" Chance asked looking slightly surprised" I wouldn't have figured a goof like you to be spawned from his seed…….."

"Yeah!" Ronic said, not really taking any offense." That's the reason why I and Shade are out here."

" Interesting…………….." Chance replied, not really looking that interested at all. "Yo, Dark Chocolate !" Chance called to Shade as Ronic took the wheel again" What about your family and/or special items?"

Shade looked ready to hit Chance, but decided to take the comment as an odd compliment and said" I don't care around weapons like you two, but my family is very……….. Unique…….. I guess you could say it all starts with my-"

" Don't even try to tell it to him Shade," Ronic said as the two looked towards him" he'd never believe until he meets them."

" And why is it so unbelievable?" Shade defensively asked.

" The fact that it defies the laws of nature is one thing……" He said making Shade blush immensely.

" It is perfectly natural and you know it you stupid-"

" Stop fighting!" Chance said as he started to lie down again" He's right. If you two have to argue so much about it I probably wouldn't believe it even if I saw it just to shut you up! I'm sleeping so DON'T wake me up!"

" And I'm driving so don't wake me up!" Ronic cheerfully said as he went into his silent-guy mentality. Shade looked from one to the other then sighed figuring it best to leave it at that.

As she sat back into her seat and turned on her MP3 player she looked towards the vast desert and thought( At least I just have to deal with the slacker and the fool…..) not realizing that in a short time she would have to deal with MUCH more.
