Chapter 2 The Secret of the Chaos Emeralds
Saix1234: It's good to be back. In this chapter I will be introducing new Characters. Speaking of characters, let me tell you about mine. Rush the Hedgehog is an 18-year-old hedgehog with red and orange fur. He carries a sword, and wears black and blue gloves with matching shoes that have spikes on them. He also has blue eyes. Next is Blackheart, the villain, who has black fur, black gloves, and black shoes. He also has demonic red eyes. Their powers are explained in the story. Disclaimer time!
Disclaimer: Sonic the Hedgehog and all related characters are owned by Sonic Team, Sega, and Yuji Naka. This is non-profit fan fiction, so please don't sue. Rush and Blackheart are owned by me. Chakra the Echidna is owned by Casino Nights and Leon Lyster is owned by Kurono-Angel. On with the show!
Sonic laughed. "Well, I guess a little game sounds fun!" He said as he smirked and stretched after hopping off the couch.
"Hmph," sneered Blackheart. "You are a fool if you think you are a match for me. Now tell me where your chaos emeralds are or be destroyed!"
Tails responded by flipping him off. "Hell no! Now who are you and what do you want with the emeralds?"
Blackheart snarled. "If you must know, I am Blackheart. I am destined to rule this world! As for your emeralds, I do not want them specifically. I want the dark chaos emeralds."
"Dark chaos emeralds?" Tails inquired. "What are those?"
Blackheart smirked. "Your lack of knowledge when it comes to the emeralds amuses me." he said. "It's quite simple. The emeralds possess both negative and positive energy. When that negative energy is prominent enough, it can be used to create dark chaos emeralds. With their power I will be unstoppable!"
Tails glared. "Then why should I give you the emeralds?"
"Here is my response to your question." said Blackheart as he charged an energy beam. Just as he fired it, Sonic dashed forward and deflected it with a metal plate that was on Tails' bench.
"It sure was convenient that this metal plate was on the work bench. Kind of like deus ex machina or something." said Sonic. "Your fight is with me Blackheart! Leave my buddy out of this!"
"Hmph," sneered Blackheart. "Very well, it shall be your funeral worm!" Sonic jumped in the air and tried to use homing attack, but Blackheart blocked it and tossed him aside. He then used chaos control to reappear behind Sonic and knock him down on his ass. He then reappeared in front of him and punched him through a wall. Sonic was about to use chaos control with the blue emerald, but just as he was about to Blackheart shouted "Nullify!" and stopped the chaos control. He then proceeded to beat the hell out of Sonic. As he prepared to deliver the final blow to a now unconscious Sonic, Shadow appeared using chaos control with the green emerald and put Sonic over his shoulder before vanishing.
"What is the meaning of this?" Blackheart growled. He went back into the lab to find that Tails was gone as well. "They have escaped." he said. He then noticed a small safe in the wall had been blown open amidst all the confusion. Inside were two chaos emeralds. "It would seem, however, that I have claimed the prize." he said, laughing to himself.
A few minutes later, in a forest clearing a few miles away from Tails' home, Sonic woke up to find Shadow standing a few feet away facing away from him with his arms folded and eyes closed. "Shadow? You saved me?"
"Hmph," sneered Shadow. "Don't get the wrong idea Sonic. It's not like I don't want to see a pathetic fake like you get crushed. It's just that I want to be the one doing the crushing." he said with a smirk. "Which is why I can't late anyone else do it."
Sonic smiled. "Whatever, where's tails?"
"Right here!" Tails said.
Sonic's face became more serious. "We're gonna need some serious help with this guy. He stopped my chaos control!"
"I'll put the word out. I can get everyone we know and then some." said Tails. "We've got no time to lose!"
*Eggman's Base*
Eggman had been watching everything that had been happening on a high definition monitor. His new Eggcams were floating all around filming everything the demon hedgehog, Blackheart, had been doing. They were goofy looking things that had eggshaped bodies and camera lenses on them. They also had propellers on them that allowed them to fly. "Hohohohoho!" he laughed manically. "It's good to see this guy giving Sonic a taste of his own medicine." He paused for a moment. "Still, Blackheart could prove to be a nuisance. He's stealing all of my chaos emeralds! Meddlesome hedgehogs are popping up everywhere like cockroaches these days." He grumbled to himself. "I know what to do!" he said with an evil smile. "I'll simply let him collect the emeralds for me. Then I'll strike while the iron is hot! While I'm at it, I'll let him kill those pests for me as well. I won't have to lift a finger. Hohohoho!" he laughed. He laid back in his chair and put his arms behind his back to watch the show.
*Jungle Temple*
Rouge the bat was running and dodging booby traps as she made her way through a tunnel in a temple. She was also talking to G. U. N. forces on a com. link device. "I'd love to help out, but I'm on the trail of a big treasure! All those gorgeous gems and jewels are going to be mine!" She made her way to a room where a large treasure chest was located. "Yes! I found the lost treasure of Captain Bloodeye the pirate!" she squeeled with delight.
"Hey, that's my treasure!" Rouge looked up to see a light grey cat. He had white hair styled in layers to where part of it covered his green eyes. He wore a satchel for what Rouge assumed was treasures and treasure hunting gear and a pair of black aviator goggles. Around his neck he wore a black scarf. He had white gloves and black running shoes. "Ah man, I spent a week trying to find this temple!" he said sounding kind of depressed.
Rouge glared. "Yeah, well it took me a month! I found it first so it's mine!" her expression softened a bit. "Although, this is a pretty big chest. If you were to help me get it out of here I might be inclined to share some with you." She smiled seductively and batted her eyes.
The cat blushed. "Well, I don't know. How do I know I can trust you."
"Please!" she begged.
"Well, okay." He said with a deepening blush. "My name is Leon, Leon Lyster."
"I'm Rouge. It's nice to see that treasure hunters can be gentlemanly."
"No problem." he said with a smile and helped Rouge carry the chest out of the temple through the back exit. Just as they were coming out a red and orange hedgehog came up to them. He was accompanied by an echidna with green fur with purple rings around the dreadlocks and purple eyes.
"Rouge, Shadow said you would be here." said the Hedgehog.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Rush. I'm Big's friend. This guy called Blackheart escaped from the Nether World….. on my watch." He looked down feeling depressed.
"Blackheart is the guy G. U. N. has been calling me about. You know something about all this?" she asked.
Rush nodded. "Yeah, I got into contact with your friends Sonic, Shadow, and Tails about an hour ago. Shadow told me you were looking for a treasure in this jungle."
"Well who is this?" Rouge asked.
"This is Chakra. He's a friend of mine." Rush said, turning to the echidna.
"Hey." Chakra acknowledged.
"He kinda looks like Knuckles." she said.
"Hmph, don't insult me."
"Do you know Knuckles?"
"Yeah I know that knucklehead, but that's not the issue." He said.
Rush nodded. "He's right. We've got to meet back up with the others."
"I can help too!" said Leon. Rush and Chakra nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's go." said Rush. They all joined hands as Rush performed chaos control. Leon and Rouge didn't even notice that they had left their treasure behind.
