Ok, I know that I said that I'd update soon...I ended up writing this chapter within a few hours of posting the other one -sweatdrop-. Oh well, not like that's really a problem...actually, you're all probably happy with the increadably fast update. Alright, enough of my talking. On with the story!
"Um...what's wrong with Alexiss?" Rouge asked as she saw Alexiss skipping happily around as she served the food and drinks as well as humming to herself. "I have no idea...but knowing her it's something big." Ana stated, looking at her best friend as if she were crazy, which Ana was beginning to suspect she was.
The doorbell rang suddenly, making Alexiss stop and look at the hallway leading to the front door. ...She's earlier then I expected. Alexiss thought, shrugging inwardly before flying calmly to the front door and opening it. "Hey Ana! Did you invite Clowy over for lunch two?" Alexiss called down the hallway when she opened the door to find Clowy standing there, looking a little nervous. "No...you didn't tell me to! Why?" Ana called back, wondering why Alexiss had asked such a seemingly random question. "Because Ms. Clowy is standing in our doorway all alone! The rest of the Chaotix aren't with her so I assumed you'd asked her over for lunch!" Alexiss replied, looking at Clowy. "Oh well, we have enough food for you as well. Come on in and have a seat." The fox-girl said, closing the door behind Clowy as she walked into the house. "Please follow me Ms. Clowy." She said, walking towards the dining room with Clowy close behind. "Ms. Rouge, this is Ms. Clowy the Hedgehog, the newest member of the Chaotix Detective Agency. Ms. Clowy, this is Ms. Rouge the Bat, a master gem thief and GUN Agent, as well as Mr. Shadow's GUN partner." Alexiss said, introducing the two as Rouge hadn't been there when they'd had the meeting at the house, since Rouge was out looking for Eclipse. "Um...hello..." Clowy said shyly, holding out her hand nervously for Rouge to shake. "Hey." Rouge said simply, shaking Clowy's hand, causing a vision.
Vision.
I was standing at Alexiss and Ana's house, in the gaming room it seemed, Alexiss, Ana and Rouge sitting in the room as well as we all looked at each other. "Why don't we just give up Alexiss? We've tried over 10 times to get Rouge with K-, and we haven't had any luck at all." Ana said, Alexiss turning to look at her best friend with her fangs bared and pupils more slitted then usual, scaring the younger hybrid. "It's true that we've had no luck as of yet...but that's because we've been using plans to catch a normal guy, and K- is anything but normal. We need to use something that will effect him by his animal AND male nature." Alexiss said, looking normally again but smirking evilly, which only served to scare Ana more. "Like what?" I asked curiously. "Jealousy." Alexiss stated, the one word so simple yet I knew that this plan would work this time.
End of Vision.
I wonder who they're trying to get Rouge with...oh well, looks like whoever it is it will work out. Clowy thought, pulling her hand back. "Why don't you sit down Clowy? You must be tired from walking all the way here." Ana said, smiling. I take that offensively. Clowy thought, as she was the Ultimate Life form and therefore didn't become tired easily unless she had her Chaos Armour up and didn't have the restrictor rings on, as it was hard to control her powers properly with the armour without them. "I...uh...actually came to...um...tell you all something that I think it's...er...about time you knew." Clowy said, taking a deep breath before a flash of light came from the Chaos Emerald behind my back and I was back in my usual outfit. "Uh...Clowy the Hedgehog is...actually me...Eclipse..." She said before the light disappeared, Rouge and Ana looking at her in surprise (Ana because she just realised that Alexiss knew that this was going to happen) while Alexiss just smirked slightly to herself in the kitchen as she made a plate of sandwiches for everyone. "I got scared when you found out the truth...so I ran to the Chaotix and became Clowy." Eclipse said, Rouge still looking at her in shock. "Um...Rouge? Are you ok?" Eclipse asked, looking at her GUN partner.
"You...you...you stupid idiot!" Rouge snarled suddenly, standing up and glaring dangerously at Eclipse. Isn't that redundant? Eclipse wondered, quickly pushing the thought aside when she saw how mad Rouge was. "You made me worry about you for nothing!" Rouge growled, still glaring. "I'm sorry...I didn't think you'd worry that much..." Eclipse murmured, looking away from Rouge as if she thought she'd be hit. "Didn't think I'd-...of course I worried Eclipse, you're my friend." Rouge explained, Eclipse smiling slightly at her while Rouge did the same.
"I hate to interrupt this emotional moment, but Doctor Eggman is attacking the city again." Alexiss said suddenly as she set the sandwiches she'd just finished making on the table calmly. "Looks like we'll have to eat those later, Alexiss. Rouge, I need you to go tell the Chaotix that Eggman is attacking and that I'll hold him off till they get here. Alexiss, Ana, I need you two to gather and warn the Sonic Heroes about this. Tell them Eclipse suddenly appeared and started fighting Eggman, that'll get their attention." Eclipse ordered, the three girls nodding before Alexiss and Ana Chaos Controlled away and Rouge flew out the window. "Looks like it's up to me for now." Eclipse said, running quickly out of the house and towards where I heard screams coming from.
Eclipse stopped when she saw Eggman above a large robot, similar to the one that had been at his base that Alexiss had destroyed. "You need to get some new tricks Eggman, or else you'll never beat us." She stated, smirking, as unbeknown to him she already knew how to destroy it thanks to Alexiss. "You're beginning to get on my nerves girl." Eggman told her angrily, sneering at her. "First off, my name is Eclipse." The female hedgehog stated, annoyed with him calling her girl. "And second," Eclipse began, jumping up and kicking the robot in the head, causing it to fall and slam into the ground. "I don't really care if I'm getting on your nerves Egg Head." She finished as she landed, smirking at the human. The Ultimate Life Form was surprised to see Eggman smirking back at her. "Fire!" He yelled.
Suddenly thousands of laser beams shot from the robot, all of them pointed strait at Eclipse. She could see them all in slow motion, but her body wouldn't move no matter how much she ordered it to, she couldn't get away. "Out of the way!" Yelled a familiar voice, a vague memory of a vision filling my mind as she felt something slam into her, moving her out of the way from the lasers before she could stop it once she finally realised what was going on. Eclipse turned in mid-air to see if she was right, only to see Espio standing where she'd had been seconds ago as she thought he'd be. "Espio!" She screamed as the lasers hit him, hearing a gasp behind her which she absently assumed came from Charmy or Vector. "Stupid chameleon, getting in the way." Eggman muttered as Espio lay battered on the ground in a crater made by the lasers, battered badly and not breathing. It took Charmy's wailing at the form of Espio to snap Eclipse from her horrified trance at seeing Espio like that, immediately red Chaos Energy surrounding her. "You...I'll make you pay for what you've done to Espio." She said, her voice sounding like a demonic version of Shadow's, fangs extending and eyes becoming a blood red from the Chaos Energy around her.
"One thing one never does around Eclipse...shoot her friends with thousands of lasers. It does not end well...for anyone." Alexiss murmured suddenly as she and Ana appeared a ways behind Eclipse, Ana the only one to hear her as she was standing beside her. "Of course you'd know." Ana muttered harshly, obviously still upset that Alexiss hadn't told her about Eclipse telling them the truth earlier. "The Sonic Heroes are on their way Eclipse!...Not like you care." Alexiss called, adding the last part as a whisper when she noticed that Eclipse was paying her no mind and was simply growling dangerously at Eggman. She'd better hurry lest she want Espio to die. Then again...I wonder if she even realises that he's still alive, as shocking and impossible as it is with that harsh an attack. Alexiss thought, not daring to go near Espio in fear of Eclipse attacking her. "When Sonic and the others come just tell them that Espio mistook Eclipse for Clowy and jumped in the way to save her." Alexiss told Vector, who nodded, realising that Alexiss and Ana were calm while Charmy was wailing. "Espio is still alive. But I don't think Eclipse realises that." Alexiss whispered to Vector, who nodded in understanding, telling this to Charmy to make him stop wailing in his ear.
"Alexiss? What's going on?" Sonic asked, seemingly appearing out of no where with Tails and Knuckles doing the same. "Eggman went to fire lasers at Eclipse, but Espio jumped in the way thinking she was Clowy and got hit, and now she's done insane." Ana explained, Eclipse suddenly disappearing and reappearing in front of Eggman, the robot falling to pieces as Eclipse just floated in front of the Egg Carrier. "You'll pay." She said in the same voice as before, before her body suddenly went rigid. She used up too much energy. Alexiss thought, seeing the Restrictor Rings on the ground beside Espio. "Someone catch Eclipse, she's about to fall." Alexiss stated calmly, Sonic speeding forward to catch Eclipse without even questioning how Alexiss knew she was about to fall, catching Eclipse just before she hit the ground. "Leave this please now Doctor Eggman, unless you want a repeat of last time." Alexiss and Ana said in unison, snapping their fingers and their weapons appearing in their hands to prove their point. "Oh, and Ana's been practicing. She never misses." Alexiss added, Eggman deciding that it was probably time to leave, after all he'd nearly been killed by Eclipse a moment ago. "Oh, and someone bring Mr. Espio to a hospital before he actually DOES die please." Alexiss added, yawning as she and Ana snapped their fingers again to get rid of their weapons. Vector wordlessly picked up the purple lizard, as he felt it his responsibility since he'd let Espio go ahead of them, walking towards the nearest hospital with Charmy close behind. "Well...that was interesting...you should probably bring her to our house Sonic." Ana said, pointing to an uncontious Eclipse, Alexiss nodding in agreement, starting to walk towards her and Ana's house, thinking about how everyone seemed to have someone under the age of 10 around them all the time...
Oh, you just know Eggman is going to pay for hurting Espio later...heck, if Eclipse's energy hadn't ran low he'd probably be dead now! It also seems that Ana is beginning to get jelous of Alexiss always knowing when importent things are going to happen and never telling her...I hope that doesn't cause a problem later. And...anyone else notice what Alexiss was thinking about at the end? I wonder how that's going to add to the story (actually, I already know...one of the few things I already know here). Anyway, enough hints for the next chapter.
P.S PM Me with hoe you think Eggman should be punished by Eclipse/Clowy for hurting Espio next time they meet. Bye bye for now everyone.
