Chapter 4

Intruders in the Pyramid Base

"This is Rouge, I have located Eggman's base and will proceed to enter it now." Rouge said through her radio before switching it off and looking at the brunette. "I hate to say it Mona, I guess we'll have to find those keys first."

"I hope we finish this quick Rouge." Mona responded. "I have a really bad feeling that there's a huge guard around."

"Huge guard?" Rouge looked at her before the girl jumped into the shadows.

"Get into the shadows! Quick!" She hissed before Rouge jumped in and they both saw the beetle robot fly past. Strangely, it didn't seem to notice them. "See? I told you!"

"Ok, at least we know how to evade it. Now we need to find the three keys as quickly as possible so the best solution is to split up." Rouge said.

"How would you know I wouldn't run off?" Mona asked.

"Because you don't know this place THAT well…" She responded before running off. Rouge caught a small bit of what the girl said before continuing her search: "God why me…"

Rouge started navigating through the areas as she avoided the beetle robot, smashing monkey-like robots, and dodging ghosts that seemed to pop out of nowhere as she searched.

The treasure hunter picked up the second key before hearing a loud scream and a loud noise that sounded like a crash.

"Mona!" Rouge ran as fast as she could to where she heard her acquaintance. If it was a beetle robot, she would have a serious problem. She entered the next room to find Mona standing with a sword. Its handle was silver in color and the blade seemed to be a bright orange color.

"Awesome…totally awesome…" Mona breathed.

"Mona? Are you ok? I heard screaming and…" Rouge looked to see the destroyed beetle robot.

"And?" Mona looked at her with a confused look. Partially because she didn't know she was capable of taking down a robot.

"How did you manage to get a sword like that? Even my Iron Boots can't break a beetle robot open!" Rouge pointed out.

"I don't know. But it looks magnificent doesn't it?" Mona looked at the sword and Rouge paused.

"Can I see it?"

"Sure…but it might be heavy." She handed it over to Rouge who suddenly began to struggle under its sudden weight. Mona picked it up and sheathed it quickly as Rouge eased her back.

"I guess it's only meant for you judging that only you can carry it without getting a broken back." Rouge said between gasps.

"So did you find a key?" Mona asked trying to change the subject out of embarrassment.

"Luckily I found two." Rouge said before the brunette handed her the last key which apparently was found inside the beetle robot. She placed the three keys inside the three slots before the door opened and they faced a large control panel.

"Is that what I think it is?" Mona asked.

"A space transporter." Rouge said before they walked up to it.

"So where's Eggman off to?" She asked.

"It says the Space Colony Ark." Rouge announced.

"I don't like the sound of it." Mona said before continuing. "And I don't think your boss, the president, will either." Rouge looked at Mona in confusion.

"How did you know I was a…" She started.

"Don't ask." Mona interjected.

"Okay…you're weird." Rouge started to type the destination code before they walked into a circle.

"Gee, and nobody told me that!" Mona said sarcastically before they were warped aboard the Space Colony.
