Hi everyone. Sorry it took me so long, I had writer's block again. Anyways, here's the new chapter of Eclipse the Hedgehog (sorry that it's a little short and sorta unimportent).
"New friends?" Tails asked after the group of Mobians had entered his house. "Yes, that's right. They helped me out defeating Eggman's army and I decided, since my old friends moved away recently, that they could be some new friends of mine." Eclipse explained to Tails, who nodded. "Hello Mr. Tails. My name is Alexiss Phai." Alexiss said, bowing to Tails in obvious respect. "My name is Ana Whitch. Oh, and Alexiss isn't normally like this, but she's a big fan of your work. She's like this around anyone who she respects unless they ask her not to be." Ana explained. "Then why wasn't she like that with me?" Sonic asked. "Simple. She holds no respect for you Sonic." Ana said simply, Sonic suddenly sitting in a corner of the room which suddenly became darker. The four Mobians simply looked at Sonic in silence, Tails and Eclipse sweat-dropping. "He isn't normally like this...I guess he's upset that Alexiss doesn't have any respect for him." Tails said. "Then I guess I shouldn't tell him that I have no respect for him either, hu?" Ana asked loudly, watching as Sonic began rocking back and forth in the now black corner. "I'd take that as a no." Eclipse said, trying not to laugh. She was still Shadow after all, and seeing her rival like this was hilarious, and she'd be laughing if she had her armour up. "Come on Sonic, it's not that bad. They just need to spend some time around you, then they'll respect you." Eclipse said, trying to get Sonic back to normal before she burst out laughing, which definitely wouldn't have helped the situation. Sonic was suddenly standing, smiling his usual smile, the corner he had been in the same color and shade as the rest of the room again. "Yeah, they just haven't been around me enough." Sonic agreed. And why did I help him again? Eclipse wondered as she saw Sonic suddenly happy again. Oh, right. Because if I wouldn't have helped him then I would have ended up chuckling like Shadow, which would have given me away. The black and red female hedgehog reminded herself.
Alexiss looked around suddenly, as if expecting to see something that she wasn't seeing. "Where are Ms. Amy and Mr. Knuckles?" She asked, obviously having expected the two Sonic Heroes members to be there. "Amy is down stair in my workshop since she was helping me with my newest experiment and Knuckles is on his way here now." Tails explained. "Do you want me to get her?" Tails asked. Alexiss nodded, Tails immediately leaving the room to get Amy.
"Oh that's right. We were never properly introduced." Eclipse said suddenly, smiling at Alexiss and Eclipse. "Yeah, I guess we weren't." Ana agreed. "My name is Eclipse the Hedgehog." Eclipse said, holding her hand out for one of the two girls to shake, whichever spoke first. "My name is Alexiss Phai." Alexiss said, shaking Eclipse's hand, causing a vision.
Vision.
I was standing in the rain again, holding the familiar duffle bag protectively. Alexiss and Ana were standing behind me, Alexiss leaning casually against a nearby tree with her arms crossed over her chest while Ana was looking at the ground with her fists clenched to keep herself from stopping me.
"I never thought you'd leave because of him." Alexiss said suddenly, her casual mask cracking for a second before it returned again. "Neither did I. But he knows the truth now, and I can't risk staying with you to have my heart broken again." I said sadly. "Yeah, I know. I don't blame you for wanting to leave, for not wanting your heart to be broken. But still...it won't be the same without you Eclipse." Alexiss said sadly, her grip on her arms tightening. "Sorry Lex, but this isn't something I can risk." I said, using the nickname that we had all began to use, hoping it would make her a little happier. "Yeah..." She said sadly.
"Please Eclipse...please don't go!" Ana cried suddenly, lunging towards me and wrapping her arms around me protectively. "Please don't leave us!" She begged, tears streaming down her face. Alexiss walked to Ana, pulling her away by the collar like she had the first time Ana had hugged me. "If you really have to leave...then at least take this with you." Alexiss said, a necklace appearing in her free hand. The chain was gold and sparkles even without light. On it were two charms, like on a charm bracelet. On closer inspection I saw that one was a violet circle with a white star in the middle and the other was a red circle with a white heart in the middle. "So you won't forget us." Was Alexiss's explanation, the necklace disappearing from her hand and reappearing around my neck. "I won't." I promised, turning and running away quickly.
End of vision.
So...looks like they meet me after Tails does and before Vector does when I go to run away from the Sonic Heroes. Eclipse thought, smiling at the two. "And I'm Ana Whitch." Ana said, shaking Eclipse's hand as soon as Alexiss let go, causing another vision.
Vision.
I was sitting on the black chair in my house, Alexiss and Ana sitting to the red couch across from me. Both of them seemed a little older, though not by much, maybe a few months older then the girls that were in front of me in the current time. "So? Will you help us with our plan Eclipse?" Ana asked hopefully. "And why should I help you again?" I asked simply. "Well, you got your man, isn't it fair that Rouge gets hers? Besides, she is your GUN partner." Alexiss pointed out, a blush forming on my face when Alexiss mentioned that I had gotten who I had fallen in love with. "Alright, alright. You win, I'll help." I said. Alexiss and Ana both smiled, though Alexiss' was noticeably more evil then Ana's. "So, what do you need me to do?" I asked. "It's simple. We just need you to watch, and if things get out of hand we need you to get them back in hand." Ana said. "...She means if things go wrong we need you to fix it." Alexiss explained. I nodded. "Alright. Rouge will be so happy! She'll finally get-"
End of vision.
Eclipse smiled at Ana, though she was a little confused, since I had no idea what the plan that they had been talking about was. But I still had plenty of time to figure it our, if what Alexiss said about me getting the man I fell for was any indication. But...Since when did I become so nice? I wondered angrily. A sudden noise caught the three Mobian's attention as Tails re-entered the room with Amy close behind. "Hello Ms. Amy. My name is Alexiss Phai." Alexiss said, bowing to Amy. "And I'm Ana Whitch." Ana said, repeating her line from earlier. "I'm Amy Rose, it's nice to meet you both." Amy said. "Oh, and don't worry about us taking Sonic from you. Neither of us are going to." Ana promised. Alexiss nodded, Amy immediately smiling.
A sudden knock on the front door brought everyone's attention to it. "I'll get it." Tails said, walking to the door. A few moments later he walked in with Knuckles right behind him. Knuckles stopped dead upon seeing Alexiss, which wasn't all that surprising, since Alexiss had dreadlocks. "Hello Mr. Knuckles. My name is Alexiss Phai, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Alexiss said, bowing to Knuckles as she had to Amy and Tails. "You have Echidna blood." Knuckles snarled. "Yes, that's right. My grandmother was an Echidna." Alexiss answered without a second thought, same as her and Ana's names before that. "Unfortunately she died a few years ago." Ana said immediately. Knuckles simply huffed, sitting on one of the chairs while now ignoring Alexiss. "He's probably upset now. He finds out there was another Echidna, only to find out they died a few years ago." Tails explained to Alexiss and Ana. "Being the last full blood of your species must be lonely." Alexiss said sadly. "Probably." Ana agreed. "We have to get going though, since we have to go get groceries. It was nice to meet you all, and we'll come see you again soon." Alexiss promised, leaving the house with Ana close behind.
Who was the person who Alexiss and Ana were trying to hook Rouge up with? And is the reason that Tails gave Ana and Alexiss the real reason Knuckles was upset? Well, you'll all have to wait a VERY long time to find out (sorry, but it must be done). Anyways, see you all soon. Bye byez for now.
