Our Pasts entwine,and is different from out future16
The battle did not take long,for the chipmonk's had signed their defeat as soon as they stepped foot on the empire's grounds.Shadow and Sonic,worked as a team,and succeeded in killing the king,as Rouge had said.Though upon cleaning up after the mess,Sonic came across a sack.
"Eh?...Hey Shadow!Give me a hand with this!"Sonic yelled.Both hedgehogs heaved the sack inside.It felt as though there were a body on the inside.
"What do you suppose is in it?"Amy asked,nudging it lightly.The sack moved,and jolted.All three of them backed off and prepared weapons.Rouge was sitting in her own throne and got up,she had rested and used magic,so now her legs could carry her.Her hands glowed with dark power,ready for what ever beast may spring loose from the chipmonk's mighty hold.The sack ripped from sharp claws within,and out sprang a bat.He stumbled a bit,his fur black,and his skin color tan.His eyes were black as well,and his wings were a dark lavender.He got his footings and hissed at the three of them,his back turned to Rouge.She tilted her head and got a shocked expression.
"L...Lane?"the dark bat stopped moving and turned around.
"Rouge?"his voice was sweet with a bit of humor and laughter,but very creepy when angry.
"Guys,stand down.I know this guy"Rouge smiled,looking at him.
"Know me?Hell...your my best friend"Lane laughed,"Your friends?" Rouge nodded and embraced him in a hug.
"What are you doing here?"
"I have no clue"he replied,folding his wings and sitting on the ground.He sighed deeply,the humor now gone from his eyes.
"Whats wrong?"
"Rouge...our island has been destroyed,by those infernal chipmonks.Their aura was as deadly as the sun itself on our kind.Nearly everyone is dead...well,dead-er".
"But we just killed the chipmonk army,wouldn't your home be safe now?"Sonic asked.Lane laughed.
"There are thousands more of these chipmonks than you can imagine.They breed like rabits,and are getting stronger through sorcerory.I cannot command my army,when all my soldiers are crisp and ash"Lane put his head in his hands.Rouge looked up at Sonic,who nodded yes to the question in her eyes.
"Then stay here for a bit,we can send word to our remaining warriors.We can use all the soldiers we can right about now".
"Heh...heh...funny.Rouge,I hate our king,my warriors and I were no longer loyal to him.Those that remain are,how are we to get them to join us?"
"If Konrad's smart,he'll know his best chances are to use his armies to fight,not wait for them to leave from the safety of his throne".
"One problem with that...see...in order to save himself,Konrad,joined forces with Eggman".
"Great".
"So...do we know exactly why these chipmonk's are so powerful?Like...how they got this power?"Amy asked Lane.They were all gathered in the throne room and the soldiers were to rest,which was to no complaint.
"Eggman is cunning,and he's using Cryptic's power.I actually feel sorry for Cryptic though,despite the betrayal.He really has no choice,because he has no soul"Lane relaxed his shoulders.
"Cryptic's power isn't enough,he doesn't by stand me,its not enough"Rouge folded her arms.
"No...but harnessing the ultimate lifeform's power is.Cryptic has already gotten his hands on the ultimate lifeform".
"Well then its a damn shame I got away now isn't it?"Shadow said coldly,leaning against the wall.Lane pointed at Shadow with question in his eyes,and Sonic,Amy,and Rouge all nodded,Shadow was the ultimate lifeform.
"Your the ultimate lifeform?"
"Is that a problem?"Shadow asked,icely.He didn't like the way Lane had hugged Rouge back,like an old flame.And also,Shadow could smell a challenge on him,for Rouge.
"No,no problem.I just thought you'd be,a little...I dunno...bigger"Lane shrugged.Shadow did the slow head turn,in a deadly manner.Like the way a creepy doll watches you walk down a hall.No one spoke,Lane expected Shadow to be bigger,and not the same size as him.
"You slow down when your to big,I'm sure if you were bigger than you are now,you'd find it hard to catch your prey wouldn't you?"Shadow asked,inclining his head,daring him to speak again.Rouge smiled to herslef,glad no one else could see it.Shadow was big in a place that mattered,so she really didn't care that he was slightly taller than her.She was also the same size as Amy.Guys were naturally taller.Lane didn't reply,instead flashed a smile,a challenge.Shadow's eyes narrowed,and he disappeared within a flash of light.They continued talking for a bit,until Lane said he was going to go rest.Sonic gave him directions where he could stay,and where exactly the room was.On his way there he bumped into Shadow,who didn't say anything,but merely looked at him.
"You don't like me very much do you?"Lane put on a goofy smile,Shadow continued looking at him.
"You think I do't know what your up to do you?"Shadow's eyes narrowed.The goofy smile turned sinister.
"The infamous Shadow,question is,how much does Rouge love you?Lets hope its enough to keep you two together.I was very close to making Rouge my wife a few years ago,I wonder what my charm will influence her to do now?"Lane's black eyes flashed a different color,"Heh...funny.Rouge seems to have a thing for dark powerful Generals".Shadow growled darkly,every quills rising up in fighting stature.Lane hissed before flashing another smile.
"This is going to be an intresting challenge,considering the fact that,we're alot alike,but of different species...let the games begin then eh?"Lane pushed past him,his wings doing a quick repression,which for bats,was an insult.For Shadow,it was merely a suggestion for which wing to break first.
Its was late now,a few hours before dawn,and still Shadow was awake.He was sitting in his throne,looking over attack plans on scrolls.He briefly closed his eyes,then reopened them.
"Whats the matter Shadow?Can't sleep?"Lane laughed from the ceiling.Shadow growled as he looked up,the dark black eyes bore into his crimson ones.Lane jumped down and stood in front of him.
"Afraid to sleep Shadow?Thinking you might wake up and Rouge won't be next to you but next to me in my bed"Lane taunted.A muscle in Shadow's lip twitched,but he didn't move.Pressing his tongue against his fang,he continued to think.
"Hmph...I heard the stories.On how you were hired to kill Rouge,but ended up falling for her instead.Funny isn't it?Just how desirable those who are misunderstood from the world are.The presence of a lustful being,can easily affect the aura of a fighter,you know this from experience.It makes me wonder,just how much control you really have when you are to check for Rouge one day and find her within my arms".Blood started leaking form the corner of Shadow's mouth,he had pressed his tongue to hard.He breathed in through clenched teeth.
"Tell me Shadow...everyone is dying to know.Just what exactly were you composed of?Some say your blood was mixed with those of the underworld,and your hatred is of satan's power.Tell me...what you really are.What Gerald really created.The ultimate lifeform cannot be a mere hedgehog,it must be more,for that is the only possiblity.So what is your instinct within?Show me"Lane crouched down on the floor,his wings out spread.
"What are you talking about?"Shadow asked darkly,not looking up from the scroll.Lane merely laughed.
"Come on,fight me!"his eyes full of malious as he swiped his hand quickly,his claws scraping Shadow's cheek.The blood spurted across Lane's cheek and over his eyelid.This time Shadow looked at him,looked at him as though he had a death wish.
"Your getting yourself into a grave which you will never dig yourself out of"Shadow said coldly.Sonic had decided he couldn't sleep and began to see what all the angry talking was about,but he stopped just before the entrance of the stairs.He could see perfectly.
'Lane is purposely trying to make Shadow angry?'he thought.Shadow now stood,his full height was the same as Lane's.
"Alright Shadow,lets see how fast you are,since being big slows you down"Lane extended his claws,"and while your doing so,how about you show me your true origin".Shadow balled up his fists and moved his feet for better grip.Lane laughed insanely,as he came at Shadow,full speed.The vampire was fast,but Shadow was faster.He easily dodged Lane.
"I don't want to fight you Lane,so quit it"he growled.
"Don't want to fight eh?I guess Rouge really can't tell the men from the boys.Such a child Shadow,won't fight,because you don't want to make her angry.Women need to learn their place,and their place is not to become angry at the ones who are fighting for them.What?Because I'm her 'best' friend?Please,the only reason I was her friend to begin with,was to get her into my bed.But seems you beat me to that,bravo I must say.But none of us vamps,thought you'd actually stay with her...so sweet.But Rouge needs a real man,one of her species,not you"Lane's eyes became very dark as his fangs extended.Shadow was shaking uncontrollably,just like he had when he saw her death,only this time it was different.It was fueled by rage,and Shadow felt as though his heart were at the very blazes of hell.Shadow felt his canines sharpen,his blood boil.He even felt the twisting horns sprout atop his head.Shadow moved quickly and grabbed Lane's throat,and squeezed very hard.But Lane didn't seem to afraid,more like,a bit happy.
"I knew it!I bloody freakin knew it!Your origin is demon.Intresting...Gerald actually created the ultimate demon,I must say...that man really is a genius,nothing is more chaotic than a demon.The ultimate lifeform,immortal except in certian regions,it all makes sense now.And the only thing that keeps you tied to this world,is your pure heart".
"And I should kill you where I stand"Shadow spoke angrily.
"Hmmm...I wonder if Rouge knows your little secret.Demons and vampires,immortal enemies.I can't imagine she'd look at you the same way".
"You know all that your saying is now helping you live one little bit"Shadow spoke a bit more calmly,the fire within him was dousing quickly,his heart was calm now and his demonic horns disappeared.Sonic's feet were rooted to the spot.Shadow released Lane without a second glance and walked away.Sonic barely managed to move out of his way in time.
Rouge laughed beneath Shadow.Her long slender tan legs were wrapped around his torso,and she ggiggled like a little girl as his tongue tickled her neck.Their clothes lay askew upon the floor.Rouge's claws were entwineing with Shadow's black quills.She moaned as his hips changed friction,making her back arch and wings flutter.He growled fiercely,and he felt his blood begin to boil.NO!His mind screamed at him,and he stopped.
"S...Shadow?...Something...wrong?"she asked breathily.Shadow blinked a few times,before propping himself up on his elbows,and looking at her.He placed one hand behind her neck,and the other grasped her hand.
"Rouge...you'll love me no matter what...right?"his eyes burned into her's.
"Of course"her free hand cupped his cheek.
"Even if it was...something really bad?"
"Unless your seeing someone else,then of course".Shadow smiled meakly.
"Then I need to show you something...my ...origin,it may cause conflict".
"And why would it?"she tilted her head to the side,letting a bead of sweat roll of her shoulder.
"Because...we're supposed to be immortal enemies".Rouge's eyes widend a little,and Shadow could smell a doubt of fear.
"Y...your a...your a demon?"
"Kinda,sorta?"Shadow got a nervous look of his own.But then Rouge smiled,her sweet smile.
"I don't care what you are,as long as your mine"using her hand she brought him down for a lingering kiss,then they tumbled within the sheets.
A/N:...yeah...animal hentai,weird I know,but experimenting with your inner eye is good,or so say the voices within my head.Then they leave me and play this infernal elevator music.I hope you liked it,made you gasp,and made you want to go DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!like Peter Griffin.Anyway,reviews please(in advance,thanks Entoxica)
