Hey guys. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Well, this is the last chapter of the story. I hope you all enjoyed it. Anyways, here's chapter 8.
Rouge sneaked trough the air ship. She looked trough every door, she came across the room that the Rogues were in.
"I still think it's so funny that Knuckles actually believed every word I said!" Wave laughed.
"Ha, and we have the emerald to power our extreme gear!" Jet exclaimed.
"We'll be the fastest around!" Storm yelled.
"Sonic the Hedgehog won't beat me next time we race," Jet smirked.
'Thats what they wanted the emerald for!" Rouge thought. "That is the stupidest reason ever!" She wanted to jump in there and bash their heads in, but she needed to get Knuckles first. She grabbed onto the wall, and climbed onto the ceiling. Once on the ceiling, she quietly made her way passed the room. She came to the room with Knuckles in it. He was sitting down in the cage, his head down.
"Hey Knuckle-head," She greeted him in a joking way.
"Rouge! What are you... How did you get here!" Knuckles yelled.
"Sonic and the others said you were missing, along with the Master Emerald...I knew exactly where you were then," She told him.
"Thanks for coming," he tried to smile.
"Well, all I have to say is that...I told you so!" She yelled.
"She...didn't love me," He said quietly. "She lied about the whole thing..." She could tell he was hurt, so she decided to lay off.
"Sorry..." Rouge said to him.
"No, I'm sorry. I should have believed you, but instead, I just pushed you away," he told her. She just smiled.
"Apology accepted," She said, as she opened the cage up.
"I hate to break up this heart felt moment, but you can't just let you fools get away!" Jet, Storm, and Wave were all standing in the doorway. Knuckles and Rouge just gasped.
"Hand my emerald back!" Knuckles yelled.
"We can't just give it up without a fight!" Storm yelled as he charged for Knuckles. Knuckles dodged him, but Jet flew up, and pounded down on him. Rouge ran over and kicked Jet off. Storm jumped on top of Rouge, ready to beat her.
"Get off her!" Knuckles yelled protectively. He ran up to him, picked him up, and trough him right out of the window of the ship!
"Storm!" Jet yelled.
"He'll be fine, lets take of them!" Wave screamed to Jet. Wave ran right for Knuckles, but Rouge jumped in front, and kicked her across the room!
"You take care of him Knuckles, I've got a score to settle with this bitch!" Rouge yelled to him, as she chased Wave out of the room. They were in the hallway, and Wave turned around to smack her across her face!
"Don't ever call me a bitch!" Wave yelled as she ran to the exit of the ship, and jumped on her extreme gear. "Lets see you get me now!" She hollered back to Rouge. Rouge didn't know what to do, she couldn't catch her by flying. She looked around and saw Jet's extreme gear in a room next to her. She grabbed it, and was off to catch Wave.
"How do they stay on these things!" Rouge screamed, trying to keep her balance. She was right behind Wave.
"I must say, I'm impressed that you caught up so quick,but there is no way you can defeat me Rouge!" Wave yelled back to her.
"We'll see about that..." Rouge said to herself. She flew up next to her, and tried kicking her, but Wave jumped up off of her board, and completely dodged it!
"Take this!" Wave flew up a little bit, and turned, cutting Rouge off.
"Whoa!" Rouge yelled, almost falling off. Wave snapped her fingers when she saw Rouge didn't fall.
"Why haven't you realized that you can't beat me!" Wave yelled as she flew next to her, and tried pushing her off. "Rouge nearly stayed on.
"You wanna play dirty?" Rouge asked her, and she kicked her in her face, sending her flying off her board!
"AHHHHHH!" Wave yelled as she flew from the sky.
"You got what was coming to you!" Rouge hollered down to her, and smiled to herself. She turned around, and flew back to the ship. Once on, she walked into the room that Knuckles was fighting Jet in. Knuckles stood in the room, smiling once he saw her.
"Your alright!" He yelled, running up and hugging her. She wanted to give out a happy shriek, like she was a little school girl.
"How was your battle with Jet?" She asked, once he let go of her.
"Quick," He joked. She let out a small chuckle. "How about yous and Wave's?" He asked her.
"Lets just say, we shouldn't be hearing from her in a while," She smiled.
"Good," he smiled with her. "Rouge, I just want to tell you how sorry I am. I treated you like dirt, and should have believed you."
"Don't worry about it, it's over and done," She said to him.
"But, I really think that-" He was cut off because she had leaned in and locked lips with him! Once she pulled away, he had only one thing to say. "Wow..."
"Better than Wave?" She asked smirking.
"100" He joked. He knelled down, and grabbed her hand.
"Rouge...I know this is sudden, but I have to ask you something..." He started.
Her heart dropped, was it what she thought it was? "Yes Knuckles?"
"I know I don't ave a ring or anything at the moment, but...Will you marry me?" He asked shyly.
"I don't know what to say!" She yelled.
"How about yes?" He joked.
"Of course!" She yelled, as she jumped up, and kissed him long and passionately. She had succeeded in her mission, and victory tasted sweet.
