Dang, I got quite a response from the last chapter. Most people decided that it was best for Ebony to die. I had already anticipated that I would kill him off, I just didn't know how. As for the kid, I won't say. I already know what it's going to be, and then some! Hehehe...okay, enough ranting.
"Are you ready Shadow?" Vanilla asked. Sonic had managed to get Shadow over to her and Blaze, soon leaving to resume fighting robots.
"I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Shadow said. "Are you sure we won't get attacked?"
"Positive," Gemini said, who was standing nearby. "I put up a forcefield that will repel any robot attack. With enough power, it could even guard against Eggman's whole armada. No way anything will get through."
"So then, there's no problem?" Shadow asked.
"Only one problem," Vanilla said. "Since we were rushed off so fast, I was only able to bring the equipment for the operation. Because of that, I was unable to bring any painkillers. So you'll just have to do without, like people did in the old days, okay?"
"I don't even care anymore," Shadow said. "Let's just get this done, please."
"All right then Shadow, we just need you to lay down, and close your eyes..."
"Here we are," Rouge said, dropping Eggman off at the computer. "You start hacking, I'll deal with the rabbit."
"Give him an extra-hard kick for me, will you?" Eggman asked. "Anyone who takes over my robots like this deserves the severest of punishments."
"And not just for what he did to your robots," Rouge muttered. "Well, I'm off. Never thought I'd say this, but good luck with your robots."
With that, Rouge flew off. She snuck up behind Ebony, careful not to make a sound that would alert him of her presence. For a little extra kick, Rouge slipped on her pick-nails (her digging power-up in SA2B) and her steel boots (or whatever they're called, her power-ups which let her break metal boxes) before delivering the first kick. It sent Ebony flying into the window, breaking it. Rouge followed after him, continually kicking him before he could react.
"How do you like that, Ebony?" Rouge asked as she kicked him higher into the air. "Feel good to you?"
"Much," Ebony muttered, trying to pull something out of his pack (where he keeps his spy equipment and stuff, of course). Noticing this, Rouge ripped the pack away, flinging it down below at a group of robots. The impact caused a little explosion (possibly because there were some explosives in the pack) which destroyed all the robots nearby.
"Looks like you were going to blow us up if you were caught," Rouge said. "Looks like that isn't going to work anymore."
"Maybe not," Ebony said, as Rouge continued to kick him, "but I always have a trick up my sleeve."
"We'll see about that!" Rouge said, smashing him into a wall. Pinning him there with her feet, Rouge tore off anything and everything he could use to harm anyone. When he tried to struggle away, she dug her feet in harder. Soon, she pulled out something.
"Hmm, a paralyzing toxin," Rouge said, casting an evil glare at Ebony. Without a moment's hesitation, she shoved the toxin into his mouth, forcing him to swallow it.
"Let's see how you like that," Rouge said, delivering one more swift kick into the rabbit before letting him go, watching as he fell straight to the ground. Seeing as the toxin had come into effect, Rouge flew off to assist with the killing of robots. But before she could, she heard Shadow screaming.
The pain was absolutely unbearable. Shadow couldn't help but scream everytime they cut deeper into his flesh. How could women stand having kid? Shadow's mind was getting blurry from the pain, although he could make out bits of speech from Vanilla and Blaze.
"This isn't good," Vanilla said. "He's losing too much blood, and we're still having problems getting it out!" Shadow's mind blurred. Possibly the only thing on Shadow's mind other than this was fear. Fear the child would die, fear he might die, fear that the pain would never end. Shadow screamed again as the two women tried to slow the blood flow and get out the child.
"Don't worry Shadow," Vanilla said, "We'll make sure your child comes out fine."
"Children," Blaze said quietly. Vanilla looked at Blaze, and then back at Shadow. Her eyes widened, for their situation had just gotten a lot more complicated.
Does anybody know what that means? I know this chapter was short, but the next chapter is...the final chapter! Anyway, I know you'll be there to see it, so be prepared!
