Shadow and Espio

By Streak The Chameleon

Chapter 8: GUN

I do not own any of the Sonic characters. Sega does.

Shadow and Streak pushed past the group and ran down the hallway.

Knuckles got up. "You won't get away!" He dashed after Streak. Rouge went after Shadow.

"Give me back that emerald!" Rouge shouted at Shadow.

Shadow looked back and grinned. "Catch me."

"Okay!" Shadow looked to the side and saw Sonic running next to him.

"Oh crap."

Sonic swung a fist at Shadow and he ducked.

"See ya, Sonic!" Shadow pulled out an emerald.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow disappeared.

Meanwhile, Streak was still running from Knuckles.

"Come on, Knuckles, do you really think I need this crap?"

"Yes…"

They continued running until Streak cell phone rang.

"Oh no."

He took out the phone and kept running.

"Yeah?"

"This is Shadow. Streak, come to the GUN base. I'm already there."

Streak glanced back at Knuckles. "I'm sort of busy right now…"

"Just come." Shadow hung up.

Streak stopped and turned to face Knuckles. "Can we wrap this up?"

Knuckles cracked his namesake. "No."

"Have it your way!"

Knuckles ran and threw a punch. Streak disappeared out of sight.

Knuckles looked wildly around. "What?"

"Yo, up here."

Knuckles looked up. Streak was crouching on the ceiling.

Streak glanced at his watch. "Wondered whether you had the brains to figure that out."

Suddenly Streak reappeared behind Knuckles, took out a shurikan, and sliced his neck. "You lose…" he said as he let the body drop.

Blood started covering the floor as soon as Rouge, Sonic, and Amy entered the room.

Streak was in the middle of rubbing his bracelet.

"Oh my god!" Rouge screamed.

Streak looked up, pretending to act surprised.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that."

Rouge started crying. "You monster!"

Streak laughed. "I believe the real monsters are behind you."

"You killed him!"

"Hey, I'm a ninja, we kill a lot of people."

"I'll get you!" Rouge lunged herself at Streak.

Streak finished rubbing and vanished.

Shadow was sitting on the outskirts of the GUN base, waiting for Streak.

"Where is that chameleon?" he said to himself.

He felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped and whirled around.

He saw Streak standing there, grinning. "Sorry."

"Where were you? What were you doing?"

Streak was silent.

Shadow took out his pistol.

Streak eyed the gun. "That's not going to help you," he said quietly. "If you kill me, you'll be on your own."

Shadow lowered the gun. "I'll let it slide."

He reached into his jacket and pulled out earpieces. He tossed one to Streak.

"Use these."

"Right."

Shadow looked at the huge base. "If we can get to their main computer, we can find out why they put a bounty on us."

They both walked toward the GUN fortress.
