Mid-terms are finally over! Whoot! But I think I totally blew my Algebra testcry Anyway, I got a 76 on my history and I think I did pretty well on everything else. Even if I can't still any push-ups or pull-up. I lack upper body strength. Anyway, here's the chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
The next morning Shadow awoke with the rising sun. As he sat up from the ground, he found Rosey very close to him. He very quickly moved away, blushing. "Damn, how did she that close?" he thought. He turned to find the flame now a hissing stream of smoke as the ground was wet from last night's storm. Rosey stirred as Shadow walked out of the cave and was welcomed by the streaming sunlight. "I now have 2 of the chaos emeralds. I just need the other 5." he said getting right into the bussiness. "Where could I find the other one?" He said as Rosey walked out of the temporary shelter.
"Ohiyo Shadow-kun." She mumbled.
"What?"
"I said good morning." She repeated rubbing her head. "I feel like a hurricane just hit me."
"You gonna be okay?"
"I'll be fine, I guess. Anyway, what's on today's agenda?" She said knowing Shadow meant bussiness. Shadow smirked as he pointed to her locket with the green emerald.
"Were gonna find another one of the emeralds. But we need your locket to find it since it can detect where the other emeralds are." He said.
"It can?" Shadow's smirked faded as it was replaced by a Oo look.
"It can react with them so it must be like a locator too."
"Ohh, I get ya." She said smiling. "So, where to?" She asked her locket as it suddenly jerk from the neck. "Ow! Be Gental!" She yelled. She took the pendent in her hand as it glowed north. "I guess were going north." She said the the already running Shadow. "Wait up!" She yelled flying after him.
After a while of flying and running, they came across a flower field. The bright petals of the flowers seem to blind Shadow, "Shadow! They're beautiful!" She yelled as she jumped into the middle of the field. She giggled with delight as she started looking through the sea of Flowers of many colors. She knelt down and started looking at each one of the flowers as they showered her with petals. Shadow, on the other hand, was suspious.
"Why would there be a flower field in the middle of no where?" Shadow whispered to himself. He turned around to look at Rosey, but instead she pounced on him. She giggled as he staggered to get up from the pile of petals. "What was that for?" He yelled.
"Oh nothing, I made you something" She said giving it to him. It was a colorful garland.
"It's...uh...um." He said staring at the present. She swiped it out of his hand and placed it upon his head. She stepped back to see what he look like and fell back laughing. Shadow took the garland and through it in the middle of the sea of petals as Rosey got back on her feet.
"I'm sorry, It's just that you looked so funny. you and pretty flowers do not mix." Rosey laughed. Shadow glared at her. "Again, Comendosai."
"What?"
"I said, 'again, sorry.' Is there something wrong with your ears today?"
"No, it seems like you were speaking in another language."
"I was? Not again." Rosey sighed as Shadow looked confused. "I usually talk in Japanese when I first heard the language. It was so cool that I learned a couple of words. I use them sometimes without knowing."
"Like now?" he said. Rosey blushed and laughed. She flew to where the garland was thrown and knelt down to pick it up. The ground started shaking. It threw Rosey off balance landing on her knees.
"W-what's going on?" She yelled as the dirt from the ground erupted like a volcano. A familiar laughter rang through the air.
"Hahahahahaha! Thought you'd seen the last of Eggman? Think again!" He said emerging out of the ground in his mole-like robot. "Now we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. Hand over the Chaos Emeralds."
"In your dreams Eggman!" Rosey yelled.
"You meet him already?"
"He ambushed me when you when the cave."
"And that was only the easy ones, now I'll show my stronger robots. Attack now! Meet the Egg-digger." Eggman said cackling as he dug underneath the ground.
"Damn, where'd he go?" Shadow grimaced.
"Under the ground."
"Any more obvious?"
"How about right behind you?" Eggman said launching a sneak attack hitting Shadow.
"Damn." He whispered. Rosey took out her bow and aimed a Black arrow at Eggman. The arrow cut clean right threw the Egg-digger's arm.
"Argh, how dare you?!" He yelled. He has never seen this girl in his life and now she's beating his Robot with an arrow?! He got out his scanners and scanned the mysterious cat girl. Rosey 6 tails spreaded apart and spun around lifting a hurricane of Flower petals at eggman's robot. It made little cuts in the robot but enough to do damage.
"How's that for flower power?" She said.
"Enough with the puns." Shadow said getting up.
"Scan completed." The computer said.
"Good. What do we have?" Eggman said.
"Name is Rosey the Cat. Her age is unknown. Gender is a female. Memories are lost. Able to locate emeralds. Infomation Limited."
"Good enough. She could be of some use to me." Eggman said rubbing his chin. A blow knock him off balance sending him into the computer screen.
"Nice one Shadow!" She yelled jumping up and down. Shadow gave the Egg-digger another good kick. The Egg-digger launched Missiles into the air aimed at Rosey and Shadow. Shadow kicked the missile sending it back to Eggman while the other one hit the ground near Rosey sending her flying in the sky. She sastained her balance with her wings.
"Rosey, I'll give you a rare offer that I rarely make to anyone. Join me and you will get anything you want. I'll give you your memories." Eggman said. Shadow looked at Rosey who looked pretty confident.
"Sorry Eggman. I'll find my memories my way. I don't want to join you and that's my final answer." She said smiling.
"Fine, have it your way. I'll take you by force!" He said launching more missiles. Rosey shot an Arrow at the missile as Shadowkicked his back to eggman.
"AHHH!!!" Rosey screamed. The missle was just a decoy as it released a net trapping Rosey. "How did I not see that coming?" She yelled as she struggled to break free.
"Hah, Say good night!" Eggman said pressing a button on his computer as an electric shock covered the net shocking Rosey with it. She screamed with pain as she fell to the ground.
"Rosey!" Shadow yelled. "You'll pay for that Eggman!"
"Hah! Nothing you can do to save her now." He laughed flying away leaving Shadow alone on the scarred battlefield. As he looked at the sky, flying petals surrounded as a sign of defeat.
"Damn you Eggman." Shadow said punching the ground.
Rosey awoke at Eggman's base with her arms and legs bounded by ropes. She tried to break free as Eggman walked through the door. "Welcome to my base." He laughed. Rosey snarled at Eggman. "Poor little kitty. I gave you a chance to join me and now you have to face the pain for defying it." He said pulling out a syringe filled with a strange red liquid. "My new experiment I'm working on. I'll just try it on you first to see if it works." He cackled as he put the needle into her arm. A sharp pain shot through her body as he insterted the liquid. As he was finished, he pulled it out, cut the ropes on her hands and feet and walked out. "I'll see you in alittle while. That is...if it works." Rosey kneeled on the floor with her hands to her head.
"What's happening?" She whispered. She felt something in her...something painful. A single tear rolled down her face as her eyes suddenly turned from crystal blue to blood red. The color on her grew darker as she slowly got up on her feet. She looked at her new transformation. Eggman came back inside, Rosey sheilded her eyes from the light.
"Welcome to my base Rosey." He cackled. Rosey looked at him as he came close, she backed away looking at her hands to see her perfect hands growing claws.
"Who are you? Who am I?" She said.
"You are my servent as I am your master. You follow whatever I say. No matter what the order is." Rosey didn't remember anything after the shot. She when down on one knee and bowed her head. The pendent around her neck dangled there, The Chaos emeralds slowly faded. Their light is gone. Eggman laughs knowing that he has a powerful weapon on his side. "This time, Sonic can't escape me now."
Shadow ran across the fields trying to search for the Chaos Emerald alone, "I don't need her. I was doing fine without her and I can keep doing fine on my own." He thought of some of the places an emerald might be but...for some reason his thoughts always would seem to drift back to Rosey. Seeing her playing with the flowers, Remembering her little shock with lighting. "Argh, Stupid girl. I can't focus now." He said. "Damn it!" He yelled punching a rock, breaking it in half.
"If you want to find her...Come with me." A voice rang out.
"W-Who are you? Show yourself." A silver Hedgehog appeared, "Who are you?" Shadow repeated.
"I am someone who is here to help you. Follow me if you want my help to find your Rose." He said running off into a distance.
"If I'm ever gonna find the Chaos emeralds, I have to follow him." He said hesitating for a minute before running off. "Don't worry Rosey, If Eggman does anything to you...I swear to have no mercy."
