Chapter 5:
Master of the Blue Emerald
It was all over the news. The huge fire that had taken out the Station Square Banquet Hall was on ever news channel. Even Sonic, Ryu, Knux and Rouge were watching from Kuruso's hospital room.
"That poor building…" Kuruso said as he lay in the bed. "At least no one got hurt."
"Friends of yours, Ryu?" Sonic looked at the gray fox.
"They used to be my allies…" Ryu shook his head. "Before I turned on Queen Morgana."
Knuckles was in the room too, glaring at him. "Back when you killed people of my tribe…"
"Knuckles!" Rouge smacked him in the head, making him mince in pain. She then looked at Ryu. "Those two were the ones who stole the Master Emerald from us."
"Hmm…" Ryu scratched his chin. "Morgana… she couldn't be trying to bring the Water Demon Chaos in the world…"
"So you know about Chaos?" Sonic asked him.
Ryu nodded. "I know not the destructive powers he holds, but perhaps Phantom would."
"What does Phantom have to do with Chaos?"
"Both he, and the Knuckles Tribe's Tikal, were present while he was summoned."
"Tikal hanging with a Seer…" Knuckles shook his head in disgust. But what Ryu was about to say next would truly disturb him the most.
"Knuckles…" Ryu looked at him with serious eyes. "Like it or not, Tikal was Phantom's bride…"
Knuckles was speechless… for about 5 seconds. "Buh… what?"
Ryu nodded. "Phantom and Tikal were lovers. They were the only two out of either tribe who wanted to prevent the war. They tried hard to keep both sides peaceful, but it was to no avail, as you know."
"Yeah…" Knuckles crossed his arms and shook his head. "Tikal sealed herself in the Master Emerald to keep Chaos at bay." Knuckles thought quietly to himself. He had the power to communicate with Tikal through the Master Emerald, but she had never mention that she was ever in love.
"Oro?" Kuruso piped up and looked around. "Miss Rose is not here."
Sonic grinned and chuckled. "She's still looking for Ryu… she'll be outta my quills for a while!"
Rouge gave annoyed sigh. "You're cruel to her… "
"Hope she doesn't chase me later…" Sonic whispered.
"You're setting yourself up for irony." Kuruso said wisely.
"Catch you guys later!" Sonic said as he and Ryu walked out of the hospital and towards the train station. "We'll head to my buddy's lab in the Mystic Ruins. He might be able to help us out."
Ryu nodded. "I fear that time is not on out side. Surely Morgana is…"
"SONIKKU!"
"Oh damn!" Sonic froze and grabbed Ryu's tail. He ran at full speed when he heard her voice.
"Sonikku! Wait up!" Amy chased after them. She saw Ryu shrug at her in confusion. After a while, she stopped to catch her breath. "Pant…pant… No… I lost him again…" She sighed sadly.
"Why do you run from her?" Ryu asked while being dragged to the train by his tail.
"Cuz she's crazy!" Sonic answered.
"Crazy when you're around it seems…" Ryu commented. They got the train station and Ryu was released. They walked into the train. "It's not right to treat her that way. She seems to deeply care for you."
"She's just a fan girl!" Sonic shouted. "I got dozens of them of 'em!"
Ryu sat down and looked out the window. "Still… don't you think she doesn't a little more respect than you give her?"
Sonic was speechless and just sat down. "So… you were saying about Morgana?"
"Yes…" Ryu looked at the blue hedgehog. "It is possible she has become aware of where the next emerald could be…"
"Hmm…" Sonic scratched his head. "What would she do if she knew where to get one?"
"She would send her assassins…" Ryu said coldly. His voice was full of deep concern. "And they will kill for it…"
In another part of the world, in another deep forest, a lone wood house had some light singing coming out of it.
Inside, an adult pink chameleon in a yellow homemaker dress was cleaning the house, humming cheerfully to herself. She went to a small-framed picture on a mantle. On it was Espio the Chameleon and his little sister Espirit, smiling happily.
She continued dusting, when there was a knock on the door. "Oh!" She stopped and headed for the front door. "A visitor!"
She opened it and looked outside. Her smile faded when she saw nothing was there. "Huh? I must be hearing things…" Suddenly, she felt a pair of sharp teeth dig into her neck. "AHH!"
-Hurry! We are in Danger!- (Dragon Quest 8)
Behind her, with his fangs in her neck was Dalton. "Sleeeeeeeep, my dear?" He said slowly as he let her out of his teeth.
"Someone… heeeeeeel…" She collapsed and fell to the ground. Dalton licked his blood covered fangs and dragged her back into the house.
He threw her body on the couch and started tearing the living room apart. "Where's that emerald! Morgana said it'd be here!" He ripped about a nearby pillow and examined the cotton inside. "Nothing!" He went into the kitchen checked cabinets and drawers. "Damn! Not here either!"
By the time he had finish the house was in shambles. He sat in a nearly destroyed chair and growled with annoyance. "Morgana don't know what she's talkin' about! It's no where…" But then something caught his eye. A lone, cracked picture that had a little chameleon girl and a blue fairy. "Ack!" He grabbed it and examined it closely, staring at the fairy. "That's a Chaos Beast!"
Dalton shook his head. "No way… that little brat is a Seer!" He looked at the woman he had knocked out. He walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat. "That brat in the picture! Your little girl!"
"E…Espirit…" The chameleon opened her eyes weakly. "Please… leave her…alone…"
"Shut up!" He threw her into the couch and held a knife to her throat. "I won't hesitate to kill ya! Tell me where she is!"
"N…Never!" She shouted at him.
"Grrrrr…" He was ready to kill her when…
"Dalton!" Arsenal walked into the house. "Leave her."
"Piss off!" Dalton snapped at him. "This bitch is gonna tell me where the Seer with the Blue Chaos Emerald is!"
"We already found her whereabouts. You can spare her life. I order it."
"Little snot-nosed…" Dalton looked at the woman and slowly backed away. "Count yourself lucky… he happens to be my master's child, otherwise I'd slit your throat." Dalton walked towards the front door, leaving the destruction behind him. 'Thanks for ruining my fun…"
Arsenal said nothing and walked out the door, Dalton following him. The chameleon woman weakly got back on her knees. "Es…Espio…"
Running through the streets of Station Square, a white blur with a gust of wind following was knocking people of their feet. The blur was a white hedgehog with blue streaks in his quills.
"My name is Tornado the Hedgehog!" He shouted to the people in front of. "If you don't wanna get blown away, stay outta my way!" The hedgehog, Tornado, then turned into a dark alley and ran faster, making the wind behind him blow harder. "Gonna see my sister! See what's that pain in the butt is up to!"
In a matter of moments, he had blown another person over. "WHOOOOOOA!"
Tornado stopped to see who it was, but ending up getting hit in the head with a white gem. "Owwww!" He shook his aching head and picked up at the gem and looked at it. "Is that a…" It shined in the small amount of light that was gleaming in the alley. It was the White Chaos Emerald. "Awesome! But where'd it come from?" He looked around, seeing if anyone was around.
"Oooooooh…" Up on the roof of a one of the building, dizzy and knocked senseless, was Eggman in his Eggcraft.
"Oh well…" Tornado started to walk away. "It's shiny!" He admired his new Chaos Emerald.
When he left, Eggman regain his consciousness and floated back into the sky. "Must have been an updraft! Oh well… with the Chaos Emerald, I'll destroy this city!" He flew away, not aware his White Chaos Emerald was gone…
While this was happening in the city, Tails' lab in the Mystic Ruins had many guests…
"Hey!" Vector the Crocodile recognized Ryu from when he was at the Banquet Hall the night before. "You're that guy who fought those bad guys!"
Ryu nodded. "It is good that you're ok. What about the rabbits?"
"They're fine…" Vector said sadly. "But I wanna get back at those freaks who attacked us!"
Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee were there too. Espio was leaning against the wall in his own corner, meditating. Charmy was poking him with a stick.
"Ultra serious!" Charmy said as he poked Espio more. "Pokey pokey poke!"
"Charmy!" Vector shouted at him. "Leave 'im alone!" Charmy ignored him and kept poking him.
Just then, Sonic and his friend, Miles "Tails" Prower, walked into the room. Tails was holding a small PDA in his hands. "Thanks for waiting everybody. I was able to fix this thing so that it would get some kinda frequency." The thing in had hands was the Chaos Emerald scanner. It could find any Emerald within any distance… but right now, it was malfunctioning.
"So Morgana and her lackeys are after the Emeralds." Sonic said while looking at Tails' radar. "So we gotta grab 'em first and fight for 'em."
"Maybe we should ask Phantom for his help!" Vector suggested.
"No…" Ryu spoke up. "We should find out who has a Chaos Emerald and go to them. Their lives are in danger."
At that point, Espio shot open his eyes, making Charmy fall back in surprise.
"Then that's not a problem. Phantom has the red…" Before he could finish, Espio ran up to Tails in urgency.
"Take me to my home in the Chimereonu Forest!" Espio said to him in panic. Tails thought for moment, and then realized what he was talking about.
"What's wrong?" Ryu asked Sonic.
Sonic looked at. "Espio's little sister, Espirit is there… and she has the Blue Chaos Emerald…"
Soon… Tails flew everyone in his planeto Espio's birthplace, the misty forest know as Chimereonu. (Chameleon… get it!) Espio ran into the open door of his house and saw the mess that was left. He gasped when he saw his fallen mother on the floor.
"Mother!" He ran to, while Vector and Charmy followed behind them.
"Whoa!" Charmy exclaimed. "What happened here!"
"Look like a stampede came through her…" Vector said while looking around.
"Just help me!" Espio shouted while he knelt in front of his mom. "Mom… mom…" She was still out cold. He gently shook her awake. "Mom! Wake up!"
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her son. "Oh…" She said weakly. "Cutie…booty…"
Vector and Charmy started snickering, but stopped when Espio death glared at them.
"Mom… what happened?" Espio said softly to her.
"It… was a large bat, Espio. A scary, ugly bat… He was after… Espirit…"
"Where is she!"
"She's in the Ninjutsu Training School. I enrolled her last month." Just like Espio, his little sister was training in the arts of the ninja.
"Right. Don't worry mom! I'll make sure she's safe!" Espio said proudly.
"Don't get lost, cutie-booty… I'll draw you a map if you like…"
Vector and Charmy laughed out loud. "SHUT UP!" Espio shouted at them.
Meanwhile… Ryu, Sonic, and Tails were outside keeping an eye open for any attackers. "Anything we should look out for, Ryu?" Tails asked him while looking to the east.
Ryu squinted his eyes forward to the north. His eyes went wide and he shouted to the others. "Get down!" They all hit the ground in an instant… just when 3 daggers flew over their heads and hit the walls. "Something like this, Tails…"
Sonic got back on his feet and looked around. "Who the hell is it this time, Ryu!"
Ryu thought back for moment, until he recalled one of Morgana's assassins. The one who used projectiles as he weapons. "Raz!" He stood up and shouted to the woods. "Show yourself!"
There was a loud quiet chuckle in the woods. "My my… the failed Prince is here too? What a surprise…"
"Keep your eyes opens, Sonic… Tails…" Ryu looked around, sword drawn and eyes peeled. "He could be anywhere."
"How bout in front of you?" Another blade flew towards Ryu face. He fell back, just as the blade ran past his cheek and left a bloody scratch on his face.
"Ryu!" Sonic shouted and ran to him. "Are you okay, man?"
Ryu got back on his face, wiping the blood off his face with his fist. "Just a small cut."
"Damn you, Ryu!" The enemy of the time, Raz walked towards them from the misty trees, looking very displeased. "You had to move, huh? I coulda seen your head fly clean off your shoulders! But you ruined it for me!" Raz reached into his cloaks and pulled out two large battle-axes. "I'll chop you and your son-of-a-bitch friend to pieces!" He grinned evilly for a moment, until he saw the axes disappear from his hands. "What!"
Sonic now had the weapons. He had used light speed to snatch the axes from his enemy. "Didn't your mother ever teach it's dangerous to play with sharp objects?" He said with his own grin, taunting Raz.
"Cocky bastard…" Raz spat on the ground. "No matter. I'll wipe that stupid smile off your face in a minute!" The echidna brought two fingers to his lips and whistled loudly.
Sonic, Tails, and Ryu were confused about this, until Tails looked up at the sky. "Ahh! Look out!"
About to rain down on them, were arrows with burning tips. "Oh damn!" Sonic shouted as grabbed Ryu and Tails and ran to the safest part they could find. When the arrows all hit the ground, they missed the targets.
"Shit…" Raz cursed. "You bastards missed…" Just as he said, several figures appeared in the mist. They started marching towards him; all in step, with bows in hand.
"No!" Ryu shouted when he saw them. "They're… they're…"
They stopped walking as soon as they were visible. They were all echidnas, wearing tribal clothes, with bows, arrows and spears in hand. "You like them, Ryu?" Raz asked, holding his hand out to present the new enemies. "I asked my queen for an army, and she gives one."
"Those are echidnas from the Knuckles Tribe!" Tails said in fear.
"Yes…" Ryu started to explain. "But… they're not truly alive."
"What do you mean, no alive!" Sonic complained to him.
"Morgana… she can somehow bring back those who had perished. And she used that power to Raz an army of undead warriors…"
"You wanna kill 'em all over again?" Raz asked the gray fox with a sarcastic smile. "That's fine with me. But they might not give you that chance! Fight for your lives!" Suddenly, the army of Knuckles Tribesmen rushed forward, ready to kill.
"Dammit!" Sonic cursed as he punched the Tribesmen that were attacking him.
Tails slapped his tails around, keeping the opponents at bay. "Sonic!"
"Yaah!" Ryu pulled out his sword and blocked an incoming spear from one of his enemies. Another one appeared and tried to fire an arrow at him, but he rushed at him and knocked him down. He glared at Raz with hatred in his eyes. "Stop this! Now!"
"I wanna see it with my own eyes!" Raz shouted at the gray fox. "I want to see you slay this tribesmen with no mercy! Kill them all!"
"Bastard!" Ryu slammed another tribesmen into the ground and rushed at Raz. "You'll be the one to die!" However, just before Ryu could stab his blade into Raz's body, a Knuckles Tribesmen stood in front of him and took the blow.
"AHHH!" The echidna shouted as his body fell limp and lifeless.
Ryu got slashed in the face by some thin needles Raz was throwing. Ryu fell to the ground on his back; his face now had 3 more bleeding slashes on it. He got back on his feet just as Raz prepared to throw another dagger at him. Ryu raised his sword, ready to attack.
"RYU!" A voice out of nowhere shouted his name. Just as both Raz and Ryu looked for it, a arrow flew into Raz's arm.
"Ahhhh!" Raz yanked the arrow out of his arm and looked around. "That can't be… that traitor…" Before Ryu could strike him with his sword, Raz took a step back and fled the battle. "We'll call it a draw!"
"I won't escape this time!" Ryu chased after them, leaving Sonic and Tails to fight against the remaining Knuckles Tribesmen.
"I had enough!" Sonic pushed the enemies away from him and attacked them all at light speed. In a few seconds, the remaining tribesmen fell to the ground, out cold. "Too easy!"
"Sonic!" Tails shouted and pointed deeper into the woods. "Ryu ran off!"
"We'll find 'im! C'mon!" Sonic ran off as Tails flew after him.
Meanwhile, in a well-hidden Ninja Training Ground, several different ninjas in training were throwing shuriken at blocks of wood.
"Hyyyyyah!" A young blue iguana, no more than 8 years old, with yellow horns and yellow eyes, threw several T-stars at a lone piece of wood.
"Ouch!" The piece of wood turned into a Chinchilla and ran away. "Ouch!"
The little pink chameleon laughed a little. She wore a blue vest and had shining blue eyes. "Nice one, Soushi!" She looked around and saw a large round piece of wood hanging from a tree. "Betcha can't hit that!" She pointed at it.
"Easy. Just watch, Espirit." Soushi grabbed a giant shuriken and threw it at the target. Suddenly, the piece of wood closed like a parasol and he missed. "Huh?"
Out of the branched, hanging upside, was a red girl hedgehog (or hedgehogess as Tanuki-Chan puts it) wearing black ninja garb, and was wielding a parasol. She laughed at the iguana. "Hah!" She jumped into another tree.
"We totally tricked you that time!" Espirit ran off, following the red hedgehogess. "Wait up, Matsuko!"
Soushi was about to follow them, until a clawed hand covered his mouth and dragged his away. "MMPH!"
In a few minutes, Matsuko and Espirit stopped by a small river. Espirit looked around. "Where's Soushi?"
"Probably couldn't catch up." Matsuko said, shrugging her shoulders.
"But…" Espirit sounded worried. "You know how fast he is."
Suddenly, several burning arrows started flying towards them. Espirit and Matsuko took cover. "Huh!" Espirit shouted.
Matsuko readied her parasol. "Who's there!"
"Go now, Dalton…" Arsenal walked away, after firing his arrows.
Dalton laughed evilly and appeared in front of the two girls. "Oh… the little girl with the Chaos Emerald…"
"Chaos Emerald…" Espirit said quietly.
Matsuko whispered to herself. "He must be talking about that thing Espirit keeps in our dorm…"
"That's right…" Dalton said with a growl. "That blue gem you have. Where is it?" Espirit and Matsuko kept quiet, watching him carefully. Then he got angry. "ANSWER ME, DAMMIT! WHERE IS IT!"
"I'm not gonna tell you!" Espirit shouted back at him. She looked at Matsuko. "Run for it, Matsuko!"
"Like hell I will!" Matsuko held here parasol tight.
"Little red brat…" Dalton rushed at her with his claws extended. "I'll kill you!"
"Hey! Look at this!" Matsuko opened the parasol in front of his face. Dalton stopped just an inch before it.
"Huh?" He blinked a few times.
"… Bye!" The parasol extended like a battering ram and knocked Dalton out.
"OUUUUCH!" Dalton yelled in pain, covering his face. "You little! OUCH! THAT HURTS!"
"Lets go!" Matsuko shouted as she and Esprit ran back to the training grounds.
"But what about Soushi?" Espirit asked her. "What happened to him?"
"Don't ask me!" Matsuko said. "We need to find a sensei!"
Soon, they were back at the training ground, where every ninja in training was knocked out.
"Oh great…" Matsuko said annoyed.
"Looks like it's just us!" Espirit said looking around at all the unconscious ninjas.
Suddenly, Dalton tore a tree out of his path and approached the two girls, hissing at them threateningly. He had a huge mark on his face from Matsuko's attack. "You little shit…"
"Uh oh…" Espirit said while she and Matsuko backed away. Dalton looked even angrier than before.
"I'll kill you little brats!" He showed his sharp fangs, ready to rip into them.
"Quick!" Matsuko shouted at Espirit. "Use a Sakura Veil!"
"I can't!" Espirit said with regret. "I'm all out of chakra from the training!" (Tanuki-Chan likes Naruto, so she gave me this idea for Espirit… but I still like One Piece better :P)
Dalton extended his bat wings and was about to glide towards them, but he ending up getting hit in the face by a some flying leaves and was knocked back on the ground. "What!"
Espirit turned around suddenly and looked excited. "Oniisan!"
-Locke Theme- (Final Fantasy 6)
Espio leapt over his little sister and stood before Dalton with two kunai in hand. "You're in trouble now…"
"The cavalry has arrived!" Matsuko sounded. "Ohh, yes!"
Dalton got ready to slash at Espio, but Charmy flew behind him and smashed him in the head with a mallet. "OWWWWW!" Dalton covered his head and flew to his knees.
"And you said Cartoon Violence was destroying my mind, Espio!" Charmy said, pointing at him.
"Oooooooooh…." Dalton complained. "I'm gonna rip off your head and spit down your neck!" Dalton got back on his feet, only to get hit with a giant rock. "ARRRRGH!"
Vector was standing behind the girls with a large rock in his hands. "I'm gonna flatten you! This is for Vanilla and Cream!" He threw it at the bat.
"Oh, damn!" Dalton defended himself with his wings, but the rock was shattered to pieces before it could hit him. "Huh?" Dalton looked and laughed. "Bout time, Arsenal!"
Arsenal was standing on a tree branch, with the Blue Chaos Emerald in one hand and the unconscious Soushi in the other. "Dalton! Withdraw! I found the emerald!"
"Not before I kill them all!" Dalton ran towards Espio and slashed him in the chest with his claws.
"Agrh!" Espio backed off, covering his wound.
"Oniisan!" Espirit shouted and ran to him, grabbing onto to him.
"Dalton! NOW!" Arsenal shouted with anger. "That's an order!"
"Grrrrr…" Dalton looked at Arsenal. "I fucking hate you… y'know that?" He flew off, leaving the battle.
Arsenal threw Soushi at Espirit and ran off. Espirit jumped back as Soushi landed on the ground she was standing on. "Soushi!"
"Who were those guys?" Matsuko frowned as she looked at her friends.
"HEY RIIIIIIIIIITA!" Tornado busted into the apartment of his sister. The wind that followed him knocked Rita down and sent her furniture flying.
Rita hit the ground and early got hit with her couch. She looked at her brother and growled. "Grrrrrr…"
"Lookit what I found!" Tornado gave her an anime grin and held up his emerald, but looked around her apartment, then at her. "…You look kinda messy. Your boyfriend been here?"
Rita got an anime vein on her forehead and yelled at him. "NO! You sent me flying with your stupid wind!" She got up and brushed herself off.
Tornado sweat-dropped. "I can't help it! I mean… you shouldn't been in the room if you knew I was coming!"
Rita smacked him hard in the face. "I DIDN'T know you were coming!"
Tornado had an anime tear coming out of his eye. "Owwwwww… I hate having a sister!"
"And I hate having a brother!"
"But you sure as hell don't mind having a boyfriend…" After he made this comment, Rita punched him hard in the head. "OOOOOWWWW!" A large anime lump popped up on the spot she hit him.
Suddenly, there was a tap on her window, and she instantly cheered up. "Oh! He's here!" She quickly ran to the window.
Tornado rubbed his head and glared at her. "I don't hafta stick around…" Tornado left the apartment and slammed the door. "Since my sister got a boyfriend she's been meaner and meaner."
Rita opened the window and smiled. "Hey you!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuruso shouted and he bit into the chain of the handcuffs. Still an unruly patient and stuck to the hospital bed, he started gnawing on the handcuffs to free himself. "Chewy chewy…chew gnaw! Grrrrr! Snap! Chew-chew!"
"Huh?" Tornado happened to be outside the hospital and looked at the open window in Kuruso's room.
"HEEEEEEEEEELP!" Kuruso screamed as he looked up at the ceiling. "I'ma hostage!"
Tornado leapt up to the window and climbed into the room. "Hostage?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA…" Kuruso stopped screaming and looked at the white hedgehog. " OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kuruso yelled again and got spooked. "Are you a g-g-g-g-ghost!"
"Uh…nooo…"
"Yatta…" Kuruso sighed in relief. "No problems…"
"So you call yourself a hostage?" Tornado said while tossing his emerald up and down in his hand.
Kuruso nodded. "I'm being held against my will by some evil women in white! It's a plot to destroy this great city! Every time an airman is held captive, the terrorists win!" He then started singing… badly… an anthem he made up. "OOOOOOOOOH Station Squaaaaare! We hold you deeeeeeeeeer and truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue!"
"STOP SINGING!" Tornado covered his ears and threw the emerald at him. "Shut up!"
"Ouchies!" Kuruso got hit in the face, and held it in his hands. "Hey that's…" Kuruso slowly turned serious. "Where did you get this?"
"It fell on my head." Tornado had a stupid grin on his face.
"This is the same Chaos Emerald that was stolen 2 weeks ago… and that means…" Kuruso's eyes narrowed when he looked out the window. "GET DOWN!"
Tornado blinked. "Huh?" But when gunfire started shooting into the room, he dove under bed. "WHOA!"
-Final Fantasy Battle Theme OC Remix- (Brian Duque)
"Dammit!" Kuruso say who was shooting at them; a small, flying robot with Eggman's mark on it. He shouted to Tornado. "There's a 35mm handgun under there! Give it to me!"
Tornado peeked out of the bed with the gun in hand. "From the monster under the bed." He gave it to Kuruso.
Kuruso grabbed it and slid the back with his teeth, loading it. He aimed at a spot on the robot and fire. With a single shot, the robot exploded and was destroyed. "Target destroyed…"
"Cool!" Tornado climbed out of the bed and stood up.
"Thanks… I could have never reached under there." Kuruso pointed the gun at the handcuff chain and shot it. The chain was destroyed and he was free. "That emerald you found was stolen."
Tornado blinked a few times… "AWESOME!"
"No… not awesome…" Kuruso stood up on his feet. "Cuz whoever had stolen that emerald has come to steal it back. And only one person could have a robot like that…"
Tornado waited for him to answer. "Well? Who?"
"I don't know…"
Tornado was about to fall over, when he saw an explosion outside. "Huh? That's where my sister's apartment is!"
"Show me where it is…" Kuruso said as he walked to the window, climbing out of it. "We need to get there before innocent people get hurt."
Tornado nodded. "I just hope my sister's stupid boyfriend is was able to get her out of there." He started jumped out the window after Kuruso jumped first. Tornado started thinking to himself. "You better have…"
Rita was back in her apartment, ducking from the explosions happening around her. A gloved hand was held out to her. "Let's go…" A familiar voice said. Rita nodded and grabbed it. The two ran outside as robots appeared before them. "Damn…"
Take care of my sister…
The black hedgehog let go of Rita's hand and held his fists up with an angry look on his face.
