Chapter 31 : Fang the Sniper
Sacred Emerald Shrine – Zabolick
"AH! What happened!" Rouge shrieked jumping out of the space craft at the sigh of Shadow's unconscious body.
"Nack shot him," Omega said in a soft tone.
"Why? When?"
"They got in a fight."
"Zero, get the materials out of the ship while I deal with this problem," Eggman ordered. Eggman walked over to Shadow's body, and put his hand on his chest.
"What's the problem?" Rouge cried.
"His heart is still beating, he's just in pain," Eggman sighed in a bit of relief.
"AHHHH!" Chemon screamed from the main ship, "One of the emeralds is gone!"
"What! Which one?" Eggman yelled.
"A red one."
"Nack must have stole it when he flew away in his weird hover craft," Omega said punching one fist into the palm of his hand.
"Hover craft? Red emerald…" Eggman said in a daze.
"Shadow, Shadow wake up," Rouge cried shaking Shadow's legs.
"I remember something now..," Eggman whispered, "ROUGE! When you first let Nack join your team, did he ever go by another name?"
"I believe he has a real name," Rouge said blowing her nose, "Um, Fred? No, um, Frank? No, I think it started with an F.."
"Fang?"
"Yeah, Fang the Sniper."
"THAT RAT!" Eggman yelled at the top of his lungs.
"What is it?" Chemon asked.
"I've had a run in with him before. Fang the Sniper once helped me beat Sonic and Tails, but he took off with the red Chaos Emerald," Eggman explained.
"What? He tricked us?" Rouge said in shock.
"Yes. He tricked all of us. I should have known."
"Well? What are we gonna do?" Chemon asked.
"Zero, Chemon, get in the space craft, we're going after him," Eggman ordered, "Omega, Rouge, wrap this around Shadow's arm and try to wake him up." He tossed a medical band their way.
The three jumped in the space craft and took off.
"Left his head up gently, Omega," Rouge said picking up the band. She wrapped it around his arm, and continued trying to wake him up.
