A Rose's Revenge – Chapter 9

Sinister Intentions

"Go." Hissed a voice of a tall man, clad in black padded G.U.N armor. The team of GUN soldiers kicked through Miles 'Tails' Prower's front door and shouted as they infiltrated the apartment and workshop. "THIS IS SECTOR 7 OF THE GUN UNIT! ANYONE ON THE PREMISES MUST GIVE THEMSELVES IN! BE WARNED, WE ARE ARMED. I REPEAT. WE, ARE, ARMED!"

The hostile yells awoke the trio, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles had taken residence here guarding the remaining emerald in their possession. Tails panted in fear as Sonic shushed him, they locked the bedroom door and Knuckles began to barricade it.

"What do we do?!" Knuckles yelled, before shrinking the Master Emerald that was situated in the center of the room and quickly hid it in his glove.

"Okay, okay." Sonic said, looking around for a way out trying to keep his cool. "We'll have to plan an escape route."

"What do they want anyway?!" Tails said in confusion, running around grabbing what he deemed essential. This thought slowly began to sink into the three as Sonic grabbed the remaining yellow chaos emerald. Just as he opened his mouth to voice his opinions, the barricaded door gave a threatening shake.

All three held their breaths, the tension thick.

Bang.

A chair gave way in front of the door and it's leg's broke, Knuckles ran to it and held his weight against the door, glaring at the other two willing for them to find a route out.

Bang.

Another part of the barricade gave way.

Bang.

Another.

Bang.

Now only Knuckles was left keeping the forces away from the three, Sonic and Tails failing to find a safe way out. Tails flew up to a window, a shimmer of hope died when he saw the solders out front pointing weapons at every angle of the small house.

Bang.

The team of men flew through the door, snapping the hinges as Knuckles yelled in fury and fell forward hitting the ground. A weight of a man was suddenly thrown on top of him, holding him down and hand cuffing his wrists behind his back. "DON'T MOVE!" Commanded the man holding down the Echidna, one hand holding a rifle into Knuckles' dreadlocks and the other holding his head down.

Knuckles yelled in protest, shouting curses angrily and death threats trying to get the man off. "Do you think I can move you idiot?!" Knuckles yelled back angrily, then looked up to see Sonic and Tails surrounded by a group of men holding guns to them.

"Whats up with you guys, whats with the sudden 'SONIC ARE ENEMY! ROAR!' attitude?!" Sonic remarked, glaring around at the circle of men. Slowly, the group of men opened and a tall, thin and old man stepped forward limping ever so slightly as he walked closer to the two. He held a walking cane, and his hair was grey in parts, black in others and his eyes concealed by circle-lensed shades.

Tails stepped back slightly, uncertain of the attention of this man. Plus there was something wrong.. Tails had been working as an ally for this same unit, and the general for it until a small time ago, yet the man in front held the General-ranking stripes on his long, black trench coat. But Tails knew another man to that title.

Sonic smirked, and stepped forwards cockily challenging the man. "Pimps seem to own everything these days… aye Pops?!" There was an angry growl and a solider yelled for permission to shoot. It was denied.

"Who are you, wheres the other General, and what do you want?" The voice of Tails was less than timid, accusing and defensive. The man smirked down at them both, then put his cane directly in front, between his legs resting both palms on the jeweled top.

"The other General.. Expired.. His time in G.U.N is over." The voice was deep, husky and ragged. It was saturated with sinister intentions. Sonic and Tails both flinched, this was not good. "I am Hunter. Most know me as General Hawke." Tails' eyebrow rose.

"Hunter Hawke?" Tails questioned, trying not to smile. He didn't know why, but the name was comical to him. Sonic was already grinning.

"Yes, a name you'll come to know and fear." Hunter turned on his heel and looked to the team's officer. "Take 'em up and cuff 'em. Bring them back to base, get the chaos emerald and bring it to me."

"Sir!" The officer nodded before his teamed moved in.

"Oh, and drug 'em first. Otherwise he'll escape like last time." Hunter smirked, turning to see all three of them be darted with a sedative and fall unconscious. His shades slipped down his nose as a pair of very dark grey eyes watched a small fox boy fall from the air and collapse onto the floor.

"Here!" Shadow and Amy glanced above as Rouge reached behind to grab two, red and purple-pink chaos emeralds, throwing them down to the running pair. Shadow caught one and scowled.

"Why does she want one anyway, and why isn't she getting it herself, or at least coming with us?" He frowned glancing back at Lilly's silver and black plane. Diamond and her surely inside waiting for the emerald.

"I don't know. But hey, she's getting us what we want." Rouge smirked down at Shadow before they were in throwing distance to the base, the three of them took refuge behind a dormant plane.

Three of them breathed heavily, assessing the situation and a way in. Rouge was taking all sorts of gadgets from her cat suit's belt, talking fast about how they might be useful. Amy was staring at the ground, trying to lift that feeling of helplessness. Suddenly there was a pressure on her hand and she looked down to see Shadow's squeezing hers reassuringly. When she looked up his face was expressionless, Amy couldn't help but smile giddily. She looked down so her now longer bangs hid her giddy features; trying to figure out why she was being so strange.

"Rouge, didn't Diamond give you a route in?" Shadow asked, his face still stoic. Rouge suddenly had the 'ohhhhhh… yeah..' look before she pulled a blueprint from the belt.

"If we go around the corner there's someone waiting, apparently Diamond's controlling his mind to lead us in." Rouge grinned triumphant, Shadow and Amy both shuddered at the fact Diamond was controlling minds.

The three crept around the guarding robots and saw a solider ahead by an open door, they quickly progressed to meet him.

"DON'T MOVE!"

"What the hell?!"

"LET GO OF ME YOU FREAK!"

"SHADOW!"

"AMY! Chaos Blast!"

It had happened so quickly, and array of GUN soldiers and robots surrounded them, grabbing Rouge and Amy. Shadow's blast from the emerald destroyed the majority of robots and knocked out a few soldiers, but they were still heavily out numbered. A robot came forward, Shadow jumped up and threw his fist straight through the titanium metal and pulled out the wires inside the heavy machined robot. It began to short circuit and turned to fire at the other robots around it.

"Let's go!" Shadow yelled, sending more blasts from the emerald at the soldiers who were holding Amy and Rouge, knocking them over. Amy and Rouge got and and ran inside, to be met by another, larger team.

"Shit!" Rouge yelled before they turned back, to be stopped by the remains of the previous team.

"How do we get out!" Amy panicked slightly, looking around frantically for a way out. Suddenly something sharp met her arm, and the world around her became fuzzy as she slowly dropped to her knees, then her side and shut her eyes before looking at a handcuffed Shadow.

-:-

"Shhh. Look, they're waking up.."

"Oh no. This won't be-"

"Be quiet Tails!"

Amy slowly became aware of her surroundings, she was in a small cell with Rouge and Shadow.. There were three others, her blurry vision cleared and she slowly realised who she was locked up with. Amy gasped in horror and yelled in protest, turning to the bars of the jail and shouting into the empty hall, demanding to be let free.

Shadow was the next to come to his sense, and instantly was glaring at Sonic and standing protectively in front of Amy and Rouge. He growled at the blue hedgehog.

"Faker."

"Now is not the time to start fights, Shadow." Rouge sighed inwardly, leaning against the jail's cool wall strangely close to Knuckles. Rouge winked and Knuckles shook it off, blushing a little and earning strange looks from Sonic.

"What happened?" Amy asked timidly after giving up her shouts for freedom. She sat on the hard concrete floor and rubbed her head and quills.

"GUN took all the emeralds." Shadow said softly after searching for the two they had, Sonic nodded. He was glancing at Amy every now and then trying to get over how different she was, and trying to ignore the piercing want and urges he was having.

"They told us that they wanted you. And because we had been Amy's friend we must have been in on it too, now they'd hacked the system they were going to blow up this part of the city." Tails looked around awkwardly before walking up to Amy who stood up to smile at him.

Tails frowned, "Amy where have you been, what's the meaning of this all?" The small fox's voice was saddened and confused. Amy sighed softly and looked down.

"I'm sorry Tails I just…" It was Sonic's angered voice that cut her off.

"You're not sorry! You stole from us, betrayed us! Hurt me, Amy!" Sonic yelled at her, advancing to her slightly as Tails stepped away.

"I hurt you?!" Amy looked furious, stepping forward as well to meet Sonic. "You were the one who always left me, always giving me false hope and then shattering my heart one too many times! And after I put up with you ALWAYS RUNNING AWAY!"

"IT WAS NOT FALSE HOPE!" The shout of Sonic was filled with so much emotion that everyone in the cell jumped and stared in surprise, except Shadow. The ebony hedgehog was watching getting steadily more angry. "Amy." Sonic's eyes soften with sincerity as they glistened with tears. "Amy, I love you.."

"Bullshit." Amy glared down at Sonic, so angry she had cursed and was cursing him allot worse in her head; he would say that after all he'd done to her! Amy turned to get as far away from Sonic as she could, without warning a hand grabbed her arm and spun her around as two pairs of lips crashed together. There was a roar of out rage, a scream and gasps of surprise.

In the middle of the dull, grey concrete cell there was Sonic T. Hedgehog holding Amy Rose's lower back and kissing her with everything he had, tears pouring down his face. Well, before he was ripped off by Shadow and received and angry punch to the mouth that had just been on Amy's.

Amy stood, shocked and – she was surprised to find – hideously appalled. Amy could remember dreaming of that moment for years, waiting and hoping for that one kiss from her hero. She dreamed about it, thought about it every day until she became angry, but now it was here…

And it was really rather pathetic.

All it was was a small section of wet skin touching another, it was a completely one-sided kiss Amy found. There was nothing in it from her side, no love, no feeling of that kind or any at all. Just, meaningless. Amy lifted her hand up to brush her lips gently, then looked up to see an angry, panting Shadow looking back at her.

"You okay?" He asked, fury in his voice. Amy slowly smiled, and Shadow took it the wrong way. "No, Amy you can't-"

"More than okay." She looked up at Shadow, feeling that strange twist in her stomach she always had looking into those crimson eyes and she found herself wondering; would kissing Shadow be the same?

Shadow looked back into Amy's emerald ones and understood, now she was finally over Sonic. He wanted her and Amy had no feelings for him at all. The rose had her revenge.

This, however, was not to be celebrated now. As Knuckles lifted Sonic from the floor and out of the dazed state Shadow's blow had left him in; Hunter walked down the hall followed by a few others and some soldiers.

Hunter slowly stood in front of the bars, smirking at them all then he saw Shadow…

"I thank you." Hunter gently held out the yellow chaos emerald to the figure behind, slowly a hedgehog came into view. Diamond smirked evilly down at the rest in the cell as she accepted the jewel and kissed it gently.

Amy, Shadow and Rouge stared at her in shock and confusion. Diamond smirked and winked at them, Lilly came into view from behind standing timidly behind and staring at the floor in shame. Diamond gently held the emerald to her lips as it began to faintly glow and yellow vapors of chaos energy wisped out from the jewel and into her eyes, they began to turn the yellow colour the emerald was.

"Stop it!" Shadow and Knuckles yelled at her in unison, growling.

"You can't give all that energy to one person! She's killing the emerald! It's reckless, dangerous!" As Shadow yelled Knuckles winced in pain, the Master Emerald was desperate for him to stop what was happening to the chaos emerald.

Hunter looked down at the confused captives and smirked. "I thank you again." He glared viciously at Shadow. "Now this mess will be ended." Shadow glared back at the man. "Oh don't you remember me?" The general smirked smugly. "I used to work on you. You disgusting experiment. I worked with Professor Gerald Robotnik, undercover for GUN. It was me who told them about everything." Hunter smirked smug as Shadow became slowly more angry and aggressive. "It was me who shot and killed Maria."

"You!" Shadow yelled in anger and began to hit the bars mercilessly wanting to break them; to get to the man and kill him.

"What are you talking about!" Amy demanded, "What is going on?! Why are we here?"

Hunter smiled softly at Amy then stared viciously into Shadows red eyes. "To destroy an experiment gone wrong."
