Hey guys. I hope you all like the story so far, even though it's only the beginning. I hope you all like the new characters so far. I also have an announcement to make at the end of this chapter. Anyways, here's chapter 4.
Julie and Greg walked into the open field. Maria had first brought Eric there when he was younger, and when Eric met Greg, he brought him, and Julie there. They went there just to stare up at the sky, and think. They spotted Eric, he was sitting in the distance, looking up in the clouds.
"Let's go. He's probably really upset," Julie said to Greg. They walked up quietly to Eric. He didn't even notice them.
"Hey man," Greg greeted him. Eric turned around to see Greg and Julie standing there.
"Oh, hey guys," he said, not even looking at them.
"We...heard about what happened," Julie told him, her voice cracking.
"Were really sorry," Greg said.
"It's alright...how was school today?" Eric asked.
"It was good, a lot of people wanted us to tell you that they are sorry," Julie told him.
"Oh, who?" He asked.
"Well...Matt Johnson was one of them," Greg said.
"Oh...Well, it doesn't matter, were still going to pummel him and his friends," Eric said, standing up.
"Eric...if you don't want to go on with this mission, then we don't have to," Julie said. She had a feeling that he just wanted to have a little time to get used to life without his sister.
"No...We will still go on with the plan. In fact, I say we start it a day early. I must do this...for Maria," Eric told them.
"If you say so man, but just remember, we could stop whenever you want," Greg said to him.
"I wouldn't do that to you guys. Greg, I know how much you have missed your dad over the past few months, and Julie, I know that you wanted to find those Chaos Emeralds for yourself. And if I rule the world, with you guys being like, vice rulers, then I would be happy, it's what Maria would want," Eric told them. Greg looked sad once he mentioned his dad. Greg didn't like to admit it, and no one knew, but his father was...Dr. Eggman. Greg was the same kid in the picture that Matt and Nick saw about a month ago. The only reason Greg wanted to join in on the plan, is so he could spend time with his dad again. He missed him.
"Alright, if you think it will be good, then we will go through with it," Greg answered.
"So, when are we starting?" Julie asked.
"Right now," Eric smirked. He took his ring out of his pocket, slipped it on, and ran for town.
"Well, let's go," Julie said to Greg. She slipped her ring on, and flew after Eric.
"Here we go," Greg sighed. He wasn't far behind them. They ran into the town, and hid behind a building.
"Okay guys, here's the plan. Rouge," Eric started, and winked when he used her "code name". "You go steal that huge emerald they have in their little workshop. We might be able to use that to help power the cannon. Omega, you and me are gonna split up, and try to lure that hedgehog right by the government building we saved them from that night."
"How come?" Greg asked.
"Because, Egghead said to get them captured by the government, and he will be the hardest. So, lets start!" Eric yelled, and with that, the three ran off in different directions.
"Now, I just have to make myself noticeable so Matt, er, Sonic, comes to me," Eric said to himself. He ran into the road, and jumped on top of the roof of a car.
"Hey you freak, get off!" The man yelled.
"Hehe, no problem," Eric smirked, he jumped off of that car roof, and jumped onto the one behind it. He continued this process, for some time. He enjoyed every second of it, for some reason, he felt good while doing it. He knew he was making people mad, people were beeping their horns, and screaming at him, but for some weird reason, that's what he liked about it. It took his mind off of his sister's death.
"What's going on?" Matt, or Sonic jumped out into the streets, and their stood Eric as Shadow.
"I've been waiting for you," Eric said to him.
"Who are you?" Matt asked. But Eric didn't respond. He dashed off in the other direction.
"Catch me if you can!" Eric cried out.
"Get back here!" Matt yelled to him. He darted off in his direction. People all around were yelling. Matt chased Eric all around the town, he didn't care that he was running trough the road, and almost getting hit by cars. He wanted to see who that was. Eric drove him to the government building. He ran right up to the wall.
"Who are you?" Matt asked, looking at how he had cornered Eric.
"My name is Shadow the Hedgehog," Eric smirked.
"I know that, I mean, how are you really?"Matt asked, winking.
"Like I would ever tell you," Eric said to him.
"Come back with me to our base, you can join our team!" Matt told him. He thought he was going to be good.
"Well, my friend is already paying your base a little visit, and besides, you look like you have your hands full," Eric smirked, and disappeared right there.
"Where did he go? And what did he mean, "have my hands full"?" Matt asked himself. He turned to walk away, but was grabbed by about 3 men, and stuffed into a cage!
"The hedgehog has been captured, do we take him away now?" A soldier said into a walkie-talkie.
"Yes, take him to the government island," the commander's voice replied through the device.
"Let me out!" Matt yelled, struggling to find a way out, but the cage was to hard.
"Don't worry, no harm will come to you...as long as you follow your orders," the soldier smirked.
--------------------------------
Josh was walking in his "Knuckles" form to their base. He had nothing to do, so he figured one of them would be their to hang out with. When the workshop was in sight, a bat, around his height, flew above him, and landed right on top of the shop! She was admiring the Master Emerald. Josh rushed to the base, and climbed on top to see her.
"Who are you?" He asked her. She turned around, and looked at him from head to toe.
"You must be Jo- I mean Knuckles. Pleasure to meet you," She answered him.
"How did you...-" He started.
"I hope you don't mind if I just borrow this emerald, it's not getting much use just sitting here anyways," Julie said to him. She picked up the emerald, noticing it was heavier than she thought.
"Give that to me!" He grabbed it from her. "I see you don't even know how to work it!" He laughed, and it turned small right in his eyes! It was a little bigger than a Chaos Emerald.
"How did you do that!" She asked in amazement. He turned it to it's normal size.
"I've learned how to use the Chaos Energy over the past month, none of the others can use the energy as good as I can," He told her, proudly.
"That's all good and great. But just give it to me!" She yelled.
"Rouge!" They turned around to see Eggman floating in his machine. "I told you all not to turn your walkie-talkies off! You can't even steal the emerald! Some kind of treasure hunter you are supposed to be!" He hollered at her.
"Eggman!" Josh yelled.
"Shut your trap Red-Head!" Eggman yelled as he flew above them emerald, and pressed a button on his craft. A giant claw went down, and grabbed the Master Emerald. It started raising up with the emerald!
"No you don't!" Josh yelled. He jumped up, and punched the Master Emerald. Pieces flew everywhere! He punched it so hard, that pieces were sent flying miles away!
"You moron! Now the Emeralds Broken!" Eggman yelled.
"Better broken than in the hands of you!" Josh said to him.
"Rouge! Find those pieces!" Eggman yelled to her, and flew off.
"How does he expect me to find all of those pieces!" Julie sighed. Her and Josh stared at each other, then realized they needed to find the emerald shards before one another, so they turned around, and took off.
