(I would like to start this by apologizing, My laptop broke so it will be hard to make these, so to tide you over, I made this chapter extra long.)
Chapter 4: Targets: Purpose.
Eggman smiled greedily, throwing darts at a vandalized picture of Sonic. A small Robot appeared from his desk, declaring, "Sir, Master Xeno-Arc is at the door holding a dead thing." Eggman looked puzzled, and stated, "Let him in." He spun in his chair. The door slid upwards. Xeno-Arc casually strode in, Rouge slung over his shoulder by her leg, a violent purple bruised next to her ear. He tossed her body on the floor. Eggman glared at him and asked, "What part of "No killing" didn't you understand?!" Xeno-Arc made a discontent noise, and corrected him, "I only knocked her out cold. I would never disobey you. See?" He kicked Rouge in the Stomach. Hard. Her eyes snapped open immediately, and closed again, taken over by a coughing fit. Eggman's smile returned. "Very well than. Take her to the prison blocks." "Yes, my Father." Rouge's Eyes open in surprise again.
Espio sat waiting. He knew someone would come. He knew his chances. The thing he didn't expect was Rouge being thrown on top of him, forcing him out of his invisibility. The cell's door closed. Rouge rolled off of him. Espio mumbled, and asked, "You too?" Rouge nodded, and stood up, and asked him, "That black guy got you too?" "Yes." He looked at the side of her head, and added, "Looks like you got it worse than I did." She touched her bruise and shuddered, than added, "Ooooohh... I will get him!" Espio shut his eyes and told her, "Save your energy. That door wont break." He sat in a cross-legged position. Rouge proudly declared, "Not unless you're the greatest treasure hunter in existence!"
Xeno-Arc returned to Eggman's side. Eggman chuckled over his desk, several robot parts placed around. He asked over his shoulder, "Which cell did you put her in?" "Espio's." He replied hastily, then asked, "If you don't mind, why am I going after these people when I am able to beat Sonic?" Eggman turned, displeased. He grumbled immaturely, "Why do you care?" Xeno-Arc apologized, "I'm sorry, but I'm just missing the point of all this." Eggman smiled slyly, and boasted, "I'll have you know It is all part of an elaborate plan to rid of the only threats to our glory! Come with me!"
The door open slowly. A massive Laboratory spread out before them, hundreds of glass tubes and robots being hurried around. Eggman strode to the Three largest tanks, located in the center of room, connected to a large device on the ceiling. A Fourth, smaller tank hung from the device, full of energy, vibrantly green. Hundreds of tiny tanks were scattered across the room, connected to computers, manned by robots. Eggman held his arm out, presenting Xeno-arc to the tanks, and proudly declaring, "Say hello to my MASTER PLAN!" Xeno-Arc stood silent. Eggman anxiously commanded, "Take a look inside!" He crossed to the nearest tank, a plaque on it reading, Silph-Veer. The tank itself contained a Large orange sphere, pulsating within a glowing blue liquid. He turned questioningly. Eggman smiled, "You don't understand? Look at the others." He bore his eyes at the tank to it's right. A red blob squirmed around, almost unable to contain itself. The plaque on this one read: Helio-Kar. The tank to the left was empty, but the Plaque caught him off gaurd, reading: Xeno-Arc. "That's right!" Eggman laughed, "This is where you were born, and what you are gathering are the components for your siblings!"
Xeno-Arc did a double-take, and questioned, "WHY would you make More of ME?!" Eggman smile didn't waver, and he stated, "Simple: You were made for defeating Sonic, but there are 3 Hedgehogs that must be defeated! The tank your standing by is your sister's. She is being made to match Shadow. The other Tank contains your brother, meant to match Silver." Xeno-Arc's voice filled with admiration, and he declared, "You are an absolute genius, Father!" Eggman smiled with pride, and declared, "Of course I am! Oh hohoho!" Xeno-arc asked, "Will they be complete soon?" Eggman walked to the Tank with the red glob, laying his hand on the tank, "This one will be ready soon... But your sister still needs one more ingredient." He Turned to Xeno-Arc. "Your next and final Target is not a person, but an animal, the Great Wilder. It's rare, but I'm sure you can find it. Now go, and Helio-Kar may be ready when you get back."
