Chapter 18 : Run in with Rouge
Master Emerald Shrine – Angel Island
"This is it Omega, this is where we really shine," Rouge said gazing at the Master Emerald.
"Affirmative," Omega replied, "scanners indicate no traps surrounding the perimeter."
"Good."
On the bridge to get to Angel Island, Knuckles and Tails are headed towards the shrine.
"What are we doing?" Tails asked.
"We're going to make sure no ones at the shrine, I am the guardian after all," Knuckles said punching his fists together.
They got to the island and saw Rouge and Omega trying to lift the Master Emerald.
"HEY!" Knuckles shouted.
Rouge and Omega looked down to see who was shouting.
"It's that echidna again," Rouge said stomping her feet.
"Get your filthy wings off my emerald you darn dirty bat," Knuckles shouted running up the shrine's steps.
"I'm sorry Knucklehead, but this is more important than you," Rouge said kicking him down the stairs.
"KNUCKLES!" Tails shouted.
"I'm fine, stop Omega," Knuckles yelled back. Tails quickly flew to the top of the shrine and confronted Omega.
"Destroy all interrupters," Omega said, "Even if, they may be friends." His fingers transformed into machine guns and he fired at Tails. Tails jumped out of the way.
"Stay out of my way," Rouge grunted kicking Knuckles again.
"Your way? You're the one whose on my territory," Knuckles shouted punching her. She fell on top of a rock and looked to be knocked out.
"That'll teach you to stay away from my emeralds," Knuckles said walking away.
"I don't think so," Rouge shouted flying off the rock and kicking him right into the ground.
"I'm afraid you must be terminated," Omega shouted shooting at Tails.
"Omega, why do you need the emeralds?" Tails asked jumping out of the way.
"Eggman has not informed us."
"You're working for Eggman again?"
"Affirmative. Rouge has forced us into helping."
Omega once again shot at Tails. Tails jumped behind him and slapped him with his tails.
"Give it up Rouge," Knuckles yelled holding Rouge's leg, preventing her from kicking.
"Never," Rouge shouted jumping up and kicking him with the her other leg.
Knuckles flew back, and landed near the edge of the island.
"Omega, go for the tails," Rouge shouted towards Omega.
"Roger," Omega replied. Tails quickly floated through the air and rushed towards Knuckles. Omega shot at his tails and he fell from the air.
"AHH!" Tails screamed. Rouge than quickly kicked Knuckles off the edge. Knuckles and Tails fell towards the ocean, unconscious. Rouge and Omega gather up the emeralds and ran off. As the passed the bridge, the island lost all power and fell in the ocean, causing a mighty wave. Knuckles and Tails were in the wave and swept far into the ocean.
