CHAPTER 1

CAPTURE

It was over a year that the Chaotix were rebelling against the two evil demons Dark and Darkness. Since Dark put Shadow under his control, Shadow had been working for him ever since. He chose Dark over his friends just to serve him.

Shadow was looking at the snow fall on the completely white ground through his bedroom window in Dark's ice base. He was interrupted when Dark showed up putting his hand on his shoulder. Shadow looked over to him.

"What's wrong? You look upset."

Shadow looked back through the window again, "Nothing."

"You can tell me anything."

"...It's someone..."

"Who is this someone?"

"Rouge."

"You mean that white bat?"

"Yes."

"What about her?"

"I loved her and now that I'm working with you, I don't see her often."

Dark removed his hand away from Shadow's shoulder, "That's why you were so quiet lately. If you love her so much why don't you just tell her how you feel."

"I can't."

"Why not."

"I'm a demon, she could never love something like me."

Dark had then thought of something, "I think I may have a solution to your problem."

Shadow had his attention on Dark, "I'm listening."

"If I give the bat my blood that would make her a demon like you and I. You and her would have to belong together."

"I don't know about this. I'm not willing to turn her into a demon for my personal purposes."

Dark crossed his arms, "You wanted it right?"

Shadow looked down at the floor thinking.

Later that evening at the Chaotix Tonya was checking her computer for any criminal activity while Vector stood beside her watching.

"Got anything, Ton?" Vector asked.

"Nothing at all. For once today was pretty peaceful", Tonya actually enjoyed her day.

Vector yawned, "That's kinda too bad. We could've taken the day off."

"Yeah! The whole day off!" Charmy shouted.

"It's getting late we should go home now. I was bored the entire day", Espio said.

"Okay, everyone dismiss", Vector said. He looked at everyone looking back at him looking confused. "Go! Get your ass' outta here!"

Everyone then ran out of the building.

Charmy sadly began to walk out of the building slowly, "Later, boss."

Vector sighed, "Not you, Charmy."

Charmy hugged Vector's leg, "I knew you wouldn't abandon me."

"How could I? You live with me."

"Oh."

"Now do me a favor, Charms and get off my leg!"

Later that night at Rouge's house Rouge was asleep in her bed, until she was awoken by a shadowy figure that was standing beside her bed. She couldn't see who he was because of the darkness in her room.

"Rouge."

She gasped in surprise. She knew that voice deep and serious, "Shadow!" She quickly got out of bed and grabbed her handgun from her desk drawer beside the other side of her bed. She pointed it at Shadow, "Stay back and don't come any closer."

Shadow walked up to her anyway, "I didn't come to fight you."

Rouge pulled the trigger, but she was so nervous she missed carelessly.

Shadow easily took the weapon away from her hands and threw it over to the other side of the room.

Rouge got scared, "What do you want?"

"You...to come with me."

"Where would that be?"

"Dark's ice base."

"And the reason?"

Once Shadow was close enough to her, he grabbed her wrist, "I'll explain when we get there."

Rouge struggled to get away from him. She started to panic when his hand started to glow a green color. "Get off me you sick..." She then felt lighthearted and passed out in his arms.

"I didn't want to use that, but you decided to do this the hard way", he ran out of her open window and ran off to the ice base with Rouge successfully captured.
