SECTION THREE: Entering The Blue.
Chapter 8
???'s POV
Stupid idiots. They can't even tell purple from pink! I sighed and sat back down at my desk. I sighed and pushed the pink hedgehog aside carelessly. What am I going to do now? These idiots can't even do the job right, then I'll have to do it myself. I stood up and walked past my minions, not even paying attention to them,
"You fools stay here. I'm going to do the job myself. Now get out of my way!" I pushed them aside and stormed out of the room, my wolf in tow.
Jenn's POV
I looked around frantically, wondering how I ended up back at the GUN base. I was there, then I was here, how odd. I shrugged and got up, walking out of my room and making my way to the cafeteria, man I'm hungry. I saw a few soldiers sitting around the tables, but no sign of Shadow. I left and headed towards the wings, trying to figure out which one was Shadows. Although, I wouldn't be looking for Shadow if GUN had not informed me of his suspension being lifted. I searched through all eight wings, but decided to give up, only to find Shadow lying on the ground unconscious. I looked down and kneeled beside him,
"Shadow? Shadow? Wake up Shadow!" I shook him lightly, causing him to stir and open his eyes. His turned his gaze towards me,
"Who am I? What is my purpose in life? And who stole my wallet?!?" he exclaimed, looking around frantically. I giggled and nudged him,
"Your funny Shadow…" I smiled, hugging him close. He chuckled and held me against him,
"I'm just fooling around. I'm glad your okay. I'm glad that evil robot didn't hurt you…" he looked me over, "At least, I don't think he did, did he?" I looked down at my stomach and touched it gently,
"Well. It's kind of hard to explain, but he kind of put something in me and yea…now I'm going to have a kid" I flinched, seeing his expression change to pure anger, "don't hurt me" I covered my head. Shadow stood up and turned on his heel, entering his room and slamming the door, leaving me alone in the hallway. I sighed and headed for James' room, deciding not to even try and went out to the back, noticing a little path, so I decided to follow it.
What I found at the end of the path was amazing. There was a gorgeous garden filled with every flower and plant you could think of. I inhaled and sat down on the bench that was there, soaking it all in. I had decided this was my sanctuary and would come here when I was feeling down. I looked around and sighed, "Why god? Why did you have to do this to me? I'm not a bad person, why did you turn everyone against me?" I asked, looking up at the sky. I heard a rumbling sound and turned around, seeing there was a storm heading this way, perfect.
I sat there as the storm pulled in, the rain starting to fall, drenching me from head to toe, but I didn't care. I put my head in my hands and sobbed softly, thinking this couldn't get any much worse.
James' POV
I woke up the next morning and could officially say I was no longer 'innocent' as some people called it. She had told me she took some pills before hand, I didn't know why. All I know is whatever we had done that night was one of the most exciting things I had ever done. It was tiring, but yet I found myself waking up at 7 in the morning. Wait, 7? What about the alarm? I then remembered it was Sunday. I assumed that Sunday was everyone's day of grace. I looked down at Rouge, curled up against me, her head on my chest. We were under the blanket, which was the only thing keeping us warm, we were no longer wearing clothes. Mine were on the floor; she had changed ahead of time.
After about ten minutes I had managed to squirm out from under her without waking her up. I got dressed and soon realized something very frightful about yesterday. I hadn't had my coffee. I quickly jotted down a note on a piece of paper telling Rouge I were I would be and why. I headed down to the cafeteria. I saw that no one else was down there. I made myself a coffee and took back upstairs. I sat on the couch in Rouge's room. She hadn't woken up, so I tossed the note. I stretched and finished my coffee. I tossed the cup. I decided to lie back down beside Rouge, but as soon as I touched the bed she started to wake up. She looked up at me, her eyes half closed. She smiled at me
"Good morning" she said sweetly. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Good morning" I said returning the greeting. She giggled and gestured for me to get closer. I leaned over and she kissed me. I returned the kiss and then broke it. She yawned, stretching. I went to the couch and sat down, waiting for her to get dressed. She came down and sat beside me once she was dressed. She was wearing a purple tank-top and black pant similar to mine. She kissed my cheek.
"So, shall we go have breakfast with the doctor once he wakes up?" she asked, still looking sleepy. I nodded and she laid her head on my shoulder. I could tell she was going to fall back to sleep, so I nudged her a bit, but she fell asleep regardless. I sighed and petted her head. It occurred to me that I had never actually kissed Rouge; she was the one always kissing me. I gently kissed her forehead and decided to rest with her until the doctor came for us. I rested my head on hers and soon fell asleep again.
Jenn's POV
All night it was pouring rain, just my luck. I walked down the hallway, water puddles trailing behind me. My eyes were bloodshot, my clothes were soaking wet and I hadn't eaten or slept all night. I sat down at a table in the corner, knowing everyone's attention was turned to me, but I didn't care. I hated myself and everyone around me. No I'm not emo if that's what you're thinking, I'm just upset okay? I decided to go see the commander so see if he had any missions for me yet. I calmly knocked on the door, waiting for his response. I saw the door open and saw him emerge, staring down at me,
"What do you want soldier? And what the hell happened to you?" he asked, giving me a look of disgust. I seem to get that a lot. I looked up at him and smiled innocently,
"Hi Commander. Long story. I just wanted to know if I could have my first mission yet?" I asked as nicely as I could, but it didn't see to work. He shook his head and went to close the door,
"Sorry soldier. I don't think you're emotionally capable for a mission just yet. Why don't you go see Rouge? She might have something for you to do." He closed the door, leaving me there by myself. I shrugged and started back down the hall, going to Rouge's door and knocking on it quietly. The door slowly opened and I saw Rouge peek out,
"Yes?" she asked, looking like she just woke up. I looked up at her and smiled a little,
"Hi Rouge. The Commander asked me to come see you to see if you had anything for me to do…" I replied, biting my lip. Rouge shook her head,
"Sorry. I don't have anything for you. I, myself have no missions at the moment" she replied, looking ready to shut the door. I stopped her, sliding my foot in the door,
"Wait a minute. Can I talk to you a minute. I need to talk about something…girl related." I replied, blushing a deep red. She nodded,
"Alright give me a second" she replied, returning into the room and coming out a moment later, shutting the door behind her, "What is it?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. I kind of looked down and kicked at the ground,
"I don't know if James told you yet, but I kind of have something in my stomach…and Shadow is mad at me for it…but it isn't my fault…" my eyes slowly welled with tears. She blinked, looking a little surprised,
"Who is it that put this 'stuff' in you?" she asked, curiously. I looked away, clearly ashamed,
"A robot...it's not what it seems he tied me and and…I couldn't stop him…" I trailed off, bursting into tears. She patted my shoulder reassuringly,
"It's alright, calm down. I'm not accusing you of doing anything, I'm just asking. Well if you didn't do it it's not your fault so I don't see why he'd be mad at you…" she tapped a finger on her chin, clearly deep in thought. I wiped my eyes,
"This is Shadow we're talking about. He didn't even give me time to explain. If I do go see him he'll try to hurt me…" I looked down, crossing my arms over my chest. Rouge lowered her eyes a bit,
"Oh? Will he now? Well then, we'll go see him right now. I'll go with you" she headed off towards Shadow's room, me following behind her. She stepped away, allowing me access to the door. I shoot my head and stepped back, clearly afraid of knocking. She sighed and knocked on the door, it immediately swinging open, Shadows head popping into view,
"What is it Rouge?" he replied angrily, looking behind her and catching a glimpse of me behind her, "You" he simply said, glaring at me. Rouge tapped her foot and crossed her arms over her chest,
"I believe you owe Jenn an apology" she said menacingly. He glared at her and looked at me,
"Why should I apologize to her…she's the one that went off behind my back and had a kid for god sakes!" he threw his hands in the air, clearly irritated. Rouge glared at him impatiently,
"Is that what you think happened? Well excuse me Mr. Ultimate life form, but she didn't do anything. She was the one who got attacked by a robot against her will" she stated, tapping her foot faster. Shadow shrugged, turning back into his room,
"Well, if you'll excuse me-" he said, but was caught by Rouge,
"No. I won't excuse you until you give this poor girl an apology" she said grabbing the door. He glared and sat down on his bed,
"Well then Mrs. Rouge the bat, you'll be waiting there all night, won't you?" he said coldly, laying down and turning towards the window. Rouge entered his room and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked up at her, then turned away, but was smacked across the face. He flinched, holding his cheek. She glared at him still, pointing at him,
"You never and I mean NEVER talk to me that way. Understand?" she said, as she turned and walked out of the door, "I think I've roughened him up enough for you? Don't you agree?" she said as she passed by. I looked over at Shadow, then to Rouge,
"Now you expect me to go in there? Are you crazy? I think you made it more worse then better!" I said, backing away from the door. She stopped and turned back to me,
"If he hurts you, you come tell me and I'll come give him a piece of my mind. Or I'll let the Commander know about it" with that, she returned to her room, shutting the door behind her. I looked back into the room, noticing him laying there motionless. I slowly walked in, standing over him,
"Shadow?" I asked, a few feet away from his bed. He just lay there, not saying anything and not moving a muscle. I laid a hand on him, clearly not fazing him. I sighed and took my hand away, kissing his head and leaving his room, closing the door lightly behind me.
James' POV
I woke up hearing Rouge come in. I didn't notice her absence. I rubbed my eyes and she kissed my forehead. "Where were you?" I asked her yawning. She sat down beside me
"Oh, just helping Jenn deal with Shadow" she explained stretching. I smiled knowing I wasn't the only one who had apposed Shadow. He was so full of himself; he needed to be put in his place. I put my arms out, still a bit tired. She giggled and hugged me. We held the hug for a minute or two before letting go. We heard a knock at the door. Rouge got up and let the doctor in. He was wearing his usual red over-coat with his black suit underneath. He stretched and I noticed he had trimmed his mustache. It had used to be massive, reaching past his shoulders, it now barely left the sides of his face. He nodded at me
"Good to see you James" he said politely
"Like wise" I replied, nodding my head. Rouge giggled.
"We ready to go old timer?" she asked the doctor. He turned to her and nodded. I got up and we all headed downstairs.
There was no line-up this time. We got our food and sat down at Rouge's triangle table, same seating as before. We ate pleasantly, Rouge rubbed my leg with her foot under the table, which I found weird. I looked at her weirdly tilting my head. She stopped and resumed eating. We finished shortly and the doctor leaned back patting his stomach letting out a small burp.
"Ah, excuse me. Yes, that hit the spot" he said relaxing in his chair. He soon got up and headed to the door. We passed the Commander and as we got in the elevator I heard someone scream
"FOOD FIGHT!!" I shook my head realizing it was Jenn. I looked at Rouge and she had her head resting on her forehead shaking her head. The doctor sighed tapping his foot. As we got off the elevator I heard someone else shout
"JENNIFER!!!"
We all returned to Rouge's room. The doctor had set himself up at Rouge's computer desk and was doing a small amount of research as he talked. We talked about the things that had happened over the past few days. We also talked about some things that had happened over the years. We eventually started playing cards and other board games. After awhile Eggman had asked if there was anything going on between Rouge and I. She nodded before I had a chance to reply and she hugged me kissing my cheek. The doctor chuckled and congratulated us. Rouge laid her against me for the rest of our chat, which was quickly ended by a banging against Rouge's door.
"LET ME IN!!" Jenn cried from outside. Rouge opened the door, only to have Jenn fly past and dive under the bed in fear. Rouge shut the quickly and locked it behind her. I could hear Shadow banging his feet against the floor as he walked down the hall. Rouge peeked under the bed
"What now?" she asked sighing.
"I um… Uh… Had a food fight and Shadow got in the way when I threw food at the Commander…" she seemed to be shaking under the bed. Rouge sighed and tapped her foot. She looked over at me
"James, would you be a doll and go deal with him please?" she asked me sweetly. I nodded. Gladly, I thought as I walked out the door. I saw Shadow and whistled to get his attention. He glared at me and charged. I used Chaos Control and walked around him. I hit all the vital areas, this time making sure to kick him where it hurt most a few times, to add to the suffering. I let down the Chaos Control and he dropped, his hands covering his crotch. I dragged him outside and laid him against the wall. I grinned and wrote on a small piece of cardboard. 'HOMELEZ AND UNEDUKATID' it read; a few letters backwards. I placed the sign in his hands and set his arms so it looked like he fell asleep holding it. I went back to Rouge's room with a smirk and the sensation of doing my good deed for the day. Rouge looked at me as I entered and grinned
"How bad did you get him?" she asked.
"He's a knocked up hobo outside and he's unedukatid'" I chuckled. Rouge giggled and the doctor almost fell backwards on his chair laughing. From under the bed I could hear Jenn giggling too. Rouge gave me a hug and the doctor managed to give me a thumbs-up in between laughs.
"Can I stay over for tonight?" I heard Jenn squeak from under the bed. Rouge looked at me then lowered her eye-lids.
"No…" she said plainly.
Jenn's POV
I sighed, lowering my eyes to the ground, "Why not?" I asked, tilting my head to the side, them clearly not seeing that considering I'm under Rouge's bed.
"The three of us had plans for tonight" Rouge continued, a hint of annoyance in her voice. I sighed and got out from under the bed, moving towards the door,
"I understand when I'm not wanted…" I walked towards the door, putting my hand on the handle.
"We said you couldn't stay the night. We didn't say you couldn't stick around until we leave" Rouge stated, crossing her arms over her chest. I shook my head and unlocked the door,
"No…it's fine…you guys have fun…I'll just go lay in my room and be bored for the rest of the night…sorry for barging in on your guys fun…I understand when it's time for me to go…" I unlocked the door, going to leave. Rouge sighed,
"Alright, we'll see you later then" she replied, as a closed the door behind me. I turned back and opened the door again, popping my head in,
"Where are you guys going anyways? If you don't mind me asking…" I blushed, looking embarrassed. Rouge giggled,
"We're just having a night out" she explained. I gave her a thumbs up, "Well, have fun then. Hope you guys have a good time, don't let me keep you from going" I smiled, popping my head back out. I popped my head back in once again, "Can I come?" I asked with a cheesy grin on my face. They all looked at me with lowered eye-lids,
"No" they all said at the same time. I huffed,
"You know, you guys are mean. I try to make friends with you and you reject me. Thanks a lot." I turned and left, rushing down the hall. I ran down the hall over to Shadow and noticed the sign he was holding. While trying not to laugh, I took the sign off Shadow and tapped him on the shoulder. He slowly opened his eyes, moaning,
"Ow, my groin" were the words that came out of his mouth. I knelt down beside him and rubbed his shoulder,
"Shadow…is you still mad at me?" I asked, unsure of what his reaction would be. He glanced up at me,
"Are you my mommy?" he asked a dazed look on his face. I shook my head and wrapped my arms around him,
"Shadow I'm so sorry…please forgive me…" I asked, holding onto him. He sighed softly, holding onto me,
"Well I guess I could forgive you…seeing as you saved me from embarrassment…" he mumbled, burying his head in my shoulder. I sighed happily, holding Shadow close to me. I noticed James and the others standing over me, an amazed look on their faces,
"Awe!! Isn't that cute Shadow and Jenn kissed and made up" Rouge said, a large grin on her face. I blushed and buried my head in Shadows shoulder,
"Yea I did…you don't have to rub it in" I replied, moving closer to Shadow. Rouge giggled and turned to leave, the bald guy and James trailing behind her. I waved at them as they left, "Bye, have fun!"
James' POV
It was going to be a simple night out, a movie, followed by dinner. We got to the theatre and thought of what movie to see. We all had different opinions. Eggman wanted to see a science fiction; Rouge was looking for an action-romance. Personally I was hoping for a comedy. We eventually decided to see 'Hitch', it was a humor-romance, but it also involved some scientific stuff. There was something for all three of us to enjoy, so we managed to get the tickets and headed in.
???'s POV
"Muhahahahaha" I cackled evilly, spotting the girl in my garden once again. Too bad I fell asleep the first time. And I give my minions a hard time, but oh well. What they don't know won't hurt them. It's not like they have feelings or anything, they are simply blue blobs after all. I shrugged and stretched, looking into my mirror, watching her just sitting there. God she's the most boring person on this planet. Oh well, she will be mine soon, I shall make her more interesting. I walked outside of my lair, noticing bird-like creature followed by a guy with coconuts. I raised a brow, standing on the opposite side of the road,
"Hey you!" I bellowed, catching his attention. He turned to me, a weird look on his face,
"What do you want?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest. I glared, tapping my food impatiently on the ground,
"That is not way to speak to an evil villain. I'm the future ruler of this pathetic planet" I started, shooting an icy glare at him. He returned the look, turning to leave,
"Well whatever. I don't care what you think. I'll be on my way now, good day" he started walking away. I thought for a moment and got an idea in my head,
"Hey! Wait! Your going the wrong way! Wait, what? That was odd. You want to join my evil quest to become the greatest evil villain in evil villain history?" I asked, waiting for his response. He placed his hand on his chin and thought for a moment, then grinned at me,
"Sure I will. But you'll have to pay a lot for my services" he replied, a huge smirk on his face. I stared at him, pondering for a moment,
"Fine. What do you want then? You can have anything you want." His face lit up at my words,
"Anything?" he began, looking up at the sky, "so I could have the moon if I wanted to?" he looked at me, a puzzled expression on his face. I shrugged,
"Sure. Whatever you want." I replied, tapping my foot on the ground. He thought for a moment,
"I know! I want Canada. That's how you will pay me, okay?" he said, putting his hands on his hips. I stared at him blankly, wondering what the hell he was talking about,
"Canada? What the is Canada?" I asked, staring at him like he was insane. He chuckled, and shook his head,
"Let's just say, Canada is a large piece of land and I want it" he said, stretching. I shrugged and put my hands in the air,
"Then Canada you shall have!" I said an evil smirk on my face. His smirked turned evil as well,
"Excellent" he said, imitating Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.
James' POV
It had been a busy night. The movie was great and the dinner was even better. We had returned to our rooms at about 9. Rouge didn't invite me to her room this time, which kind of upset me. I shrugged it off and went to my room. I laid down for about five minutes and realized I wouldn't get a wink of sleep. I got up and sat on the side of my bed. I got up and put my shoes back on. I walked to the door and listened. It was silent. I opened the door and shut it behind me. I walked passed Rouge's room and heard a faint noise. I put my ear to the door. I took my ear from the door and continued down the hall. The noise was nothing important, but at any rate, I'm not going to tell you what it was. I soon got to the lobby and saw that even the secretary was gone for the night. I walked outside and looked around. The night sky was pale blue and I could see my fur blended in. I started to walk, heading in any direction. I stared up at the moon lit sky. It was beautiful. The stars reminded me of the shine I used to see every night. I kicked the ground while I walked and put my hands behind my head. I looked back up ahead of me and tilted my head. It was weird. This entire city was in ruins, but yet here it was; a small garden full of lush green forest. I walked in and looked it over. It wasn't very big or impressive, but it did seem to be Jenn's hiding place. I guessed this when I saw her sitting on a lone bench. I decided not to disturb her and turned back, continuing on my way. I looked to the sky and listened to the wind.
"James…" I heard a voice call. I turned to the direction of the voice, but saw no one. I turned back the way I was heading and kept going. I continued and soon found myself outside the city limits. I stretched, the wind picking up. I kept walking, the wind blowing through what little of my fur was exposed. I looked up and tilted my head. I could have sworn there was a set of red stars, like eyes staring back at me. I shook my head and looked again. Their gaze seemed to become more real. I walked towards them and they got bigger. I seen realized they weren't stars.
"James…" I heard the voice again, this time coming from ahead of me. I soon saw a form around the red lights. I got about, what I thought, was 20 feet from the set of red eyes, before I suddenly felt myself fall to the ground. I shut my eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
I woke up in a very odd place. Everything was white, no floor, and no walls, not anything within sight. I walked around, seeming to go nowhere. I sighed and looked down. I noticed my feet were no longer in my shoes. I looked myself over and found I had no clothes on at all, not even my gloves. My fur covered me still, so this wasn't new for me, but I had gotten used to clothes, so I felt a bit exposed. I looked up and almost fell backwards. Standing in front of me, I saw three large orbs. From right to left they were red, yellow and black. I tilted my head in confusion. I looked around and saw two other orbs that were broken, both colorless. I stepped towards the one to my right and examined it. At the bottom it had the word 'James'. I backed up and looked at my hands and for the first time realized my finger tips were pointed at the ends. I looked back to the other three colored orbs. I stepped towards the red one and looked closely, I could see into it. I squinted and then backed up in amazement. There he was; a red hedgehog that looked almost identical to me. I walked around to the yellow and black orbs and was shocked to see the same thing in both, only they differed from color. I backed up and felt myself bump into something or someone. I took a step foreword and slowly turned around.
"I've been expecting you" they said as I jumped back. They were as tall as me, but very different. The right half of them looked like a white hedgehog, dazzling in a golden glow, with massive butterfly wings, looked like an angel. They looked female, but when I got full focus of the left half, I was startled. It was a pitch black hedgehog, with a purple glow around him, with massive bat wings. It made me feel like crying just looking at it. The disturbing combination stunned me for a moment.
"Who… Who are you?" I asked quietly, clearing my throat. They put there right hand out to me.
"I am the only thing greater then God, but worse then the Devil" they said. I thought to myself. It reminded me of a riddle I heard once: What is greater then god, worse then the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you will die. The answer was so simple it took forever to figure out.
"Nothing" I said out loud, but as I did I felt a pain all over me and dropped to my knees. I clenched my shoulders and fell onto my side. I felt something throbbing in my back. I rolled onto my stomach and felt my back ripping open. The pain knocked me out. As I numbed from the pain I heard a voice before blacking out:
"For every year, I am given ten minutes."
I woke up lying on the roof of the GUN base. I pulled myself to my feet. I covered my eyes as the sun came up. I walked down to my wing. As I walked towards my room I saw Rouge look at me weird.
"James" she asked me "Where are your clothes silly?" she giggled. I looked down, and then held out my hands, both drenched in blood. I looked up and saw Rouge gasping, putting her hand over her mouth "What happened?" she asked, the fear in her voice was easy to spot. I looked up, but before I could answer I heard a booming voice from behind me
"My, my, my, what's happened here?" I turned and saw the Commander standing behind me. When I turned I heard Rouge gasp again.
"Your back…" she said. I looked up at the Commander.
"Explain yourself soldier, where did all this blood come from and why are you walking around in the nude?" he asked bluntly. I looked at my hand and shook my head
"I'm, not sure" I explained to him. I looked back at Rouge and she looked like she had seen a ghost. I looked at the Commander, and then back at Rouge. The Commander started to tap his foot on the ground.
"You must have a reason for all this, unless you were intoxicated and forgot, while on duty" he said scolding me. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach. I lowered my head and turned to look at the Commander. I tilted my head at an angle to look up at him. He backed up a bit. My eyes twitched
"Mind your own business, you sad excuse for an idiotic foot soldier" I said as I cracked my neck, straightening it out. He had his hands in front of him as I straightened out. I heard Rouge stamp her foot. I turned and saw her take in a deep breathe
"JAMES!" she boomed "That is no way to talk to the Commander" she said, the anger showing in her voice. I blinked and then loosened up. I felt my muscles relax. I thought for a moment and then turned back to the Commander, looking at my hands.
"I… I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure were… 'That' came from, I'm truly sorry" I repeated. He straightened out and huffed
"I should say so, I'll let it pass this time, but next time I won't be so easy on you, now go get cleaned up" he ordered me. I nodded and saluted. He nodded and walked back down the hall. I looked at Rouge as she shook her head at me.
"Come on you, let's get you cleaned up" she said calmly. I followed her into her room. She led me to her washroom and started a bath for me. I sat down in the warm water, it felt like ice against my skin. I washed the blood off my hands. I felt Rouge start to clean the blood off my back "What were you doing last night" she asked, sounding very concerned. I shook my head
"I remember going for a walk, but then I blacked out, someone must have knocked me and then drugged me or something" I explained to her. I turned to see her nodding. Suddenly she dropped the cloth she was using.
"Oh my… James, your whole back is cut right open" she gasped. I looked at her. She made me turn back around and she examined my wound. I felt her lightly touch the side of the wound. It felt good. She pulled back "Did I hurt you?" she asked. I shook my head
"No, that felt good…" I said sighing a bit. She bit her lip and I felt her rub my back. I moaned slightly. I felt her hesitate at times, but she kept rubbing my back. She rubbed my back for about two minutes, but then she pulled away.
"You should get dressed now…" she said turning away. I got out of the tub as she turned away. I guess she hated seeing me look so 'torn' up. I found my clothes had been folded up and left on her bed. She had gave lent me a blue t-shirt and a pair of blue pants. I put them on, with a pair of black silk shoes. I stretched; I couldn't even feel the split in my back. Rouge came out and put her hands on her hips "How is it that your back isn't bleeding?" she asked looking confused. I shrugged and she did the same shaking her head "Come on, let's go get breakfast."
Jenn's POV
I slowly walked into the cafeteria and sat down at the table nearest to James. I noticed he wasn't wearing his regular uniform, interesting. I began eating my usual fruit salad, when the Commander came up to me, towering over,
"Good morning soldier" he began, saluting me, "I have for you here your first mission. I want you to infiltrate Neo Sonics base and rescue Sonic" he said, handing me a paper with my mission on it,
"Alright then. How am I supposed to do this mission exactly?" I said, looking up at him. He shrugged and started to walk away,
"Find someone to help you or go by yourself. Wait scratch that, bring Shadow with you…wherever he may be…" with that he left. I stared at him walking away. I sighed and looked over at James,
"Well James, I got what I wished for. I got my first mission" I said laying my head on the table. He turned to look at me,
"That's nice…" he said, turning back to his food. I glared and got up, leaving my stuff where it is. I headed towards the training area where Shadow was working out. God he looks so hot, ahem I mean hi. I walked in and stood behind him, wrapping my arms around his neck,
"Hi Shadow. You ready for our first mission?" I grinned, hugging him gently. He looked up at me, sweat rolling down his face,
"What's our mission?" he asked, getting up and wiping his face with a towel near by. I thought for a moment, and then turned to leave,
"I changed my mind…I'll do my mission tomorrow…" I lied, leaving the room. I walked around the corridor and wondered what those gems did that James gave over to the Commander. I walked over to an area where all the soldiers were huddling. I stood on my tippy-toes and saw them carrying in a bunch of gold, weapons and the gems. Once they all left I tried to open it, but with no avail. I banged my head on it, hoping it would open, but it didn't. I eventually tried every combination I could think of and got it open. I checked to make sure no one was looking and snuck in, taking two of the emeralds and closed the door somewhat quietly behind me. I held the emeralds in my hands, hoping no one would catch me with them, luckily for me they didn't. I looked down at them, wondering how to use them. I thought for a moment and said the first words that came to my and I disappeared, appearing at Neo Sonics base. I looked around and shrugged, storing the emeralds in my out of nowhere pockets. I snuck around agent style, my gun pointed upwards. I snuck into Neo Sonics office and watched him from the shadows. He was sitting at his desk, reading the newspaper. I grinned and went up to him,
"Well, well. We meet again…" I said, pointing my gun at him, "now hand over Sonic and no one gets hurt…" He looked at me and chuckled,
"You expect me to hand Sonic over to you? Hah, you're wasting my time. Now I suggest you leave before I destroy you!" he pointed towards the door, and then swung his chair the other way. I growled and swung his chair around,
"I'm not leaving until you let me at least see Sonic" I spat, crossing my arms over my chest. He chuckled, putting his feet on the desk,
"Oh, you want to see him do you?" he snapped his fingers, a glass screen appearing behind him, revealing Sonic in the most disturbing outfit I've ever seen. I shuddered and kneeled beside the screen, touching it,
"Oh Sonic…I'm so sorry…" I began. I turned to Neo, giving him a death glare, "You're a cruel person…now you've forced me to use my ultimate weapon!!!" I stood up. Neo chuckled at my remark,
"Cruel? Oh don't flatter me. I won't be any easier on you when I destroy you…" he began. I pulled a microphone out of my from my 'out of nowhere' pockets. He backed up, "No…you aren't going to…SING?!" I grinned and began singing 'Lady Marmalade.' He put his hands over hits ears in pain, "Ah!! Its girly music…fine take him…just STOP singing…" I grinned and tapped on the glass, making it shatter,
"Thank you…come on Sonic…" I picked him up, taking the clothes off him. I left the room, hearing Neo Sonic bashing his head off the desk,
"The songs stuck in my head!!!"
