The machine in front of the general seemed puzzled. General Suzuki has told him to stay behind but why? What kind of test must Shadow and Rouge go through that he, Omega, could not? Suzuki put his hand on the robot creation as an attempt to reassure him. "Omega, it's just a test of loyalty. G.U.N knows that you will remain loyal so it's useless to test you. We are just double checking on two of our top agents here." Omega remained silent as he analyzed the situation. He had three options:

1) believe the general and wait for his teammates return
2) go after his teammates and complete the assign mission
3) Destroy the general and stop whatever it is he could be planning

Honestly, Omega would choose the third option. But as things look now, he must choose the first option and hope for the best outcome. Suzuki moved away from Omega motioning for him to follow. As things were at this moment, Omega knew something terrible was about to occur.

Shadow and Rouge arrived in front of the forest. Both already knew the reason why Omega didn't come. This was a set up for Shadow and Rouge not Team Dark, but as for why remained unknown. The night caused the already dark forest to worsen into complete darkness. Shadow looked up at the moon knowing it's light wasn't going to shine of them in there. Rouge stared at Shadow for a moment then turned her direction towards the moon as well. It was beautiful. She never really took the time to look at the night sky, until she met the black hedgehog from space that is. Rouge would always catch Shadow looking at the night sky before, but now she understood why. Shadow started to walk into the forest noticing Rouge wasn't following him. He turned back to see her caught in a daze looking at the night sky. He held in a chuckle and went over to her. Rouge wasn't paying him any attention at the moment, so he got right behind the bat. Shadow smirked as he grabbed her hand. She jumped back into reality startled by the hedgehog currently behind her. Rouge could see the smirk on his face. "You know if you just want to hold my hand, you got to buy me dinner first." She winked. Shadow rolled his eyes at the flirt, did she not notice how dark it is inside the forest and that he would need her to lead the way? "Don't flatter yourself there. If I don't hold your hand in there, I'm basically done for." He said pointing to the inside of the forest. "Whatever you say." Rouge sighed holding his hand.

They walked through the dense darkness without a problem. Rouge's bat abilities allowed her to see their surroundings clearly. Shadow followed her in amazement. He couldn't believe neither of them have stumbled yet. "They're close by. I can hear them." She whispered to her comrade. Rouge could feel Shadow tense up as he prepared himself to fight. Her once fast beating heart slowed knowing he was there with her and ready. Their mission was said to capture Monko and Hilary, but is that their actual mission? Light was started to appear as they made their way towards the center. Shadow and Rouge could hear dim sirens, most likely a practice drill of some sort. Shadow could see in the darkness now, but held on to her hand more of to protect her. Rouge flew them up to a tree branch to remained concealed in the darkness. Shadow let go of her hand, he could sense if there was any danger for them at this range. They moved from tree to tree quickly until Shadow came to a stop. Rouge looked around to see children marching. What are Monko and Hilary doing with children? They dropped to ground level and hid in a nearby bush.

"What do you idiots think this is? Play time?" A raspy voice shouted. Monko walked towards the quivering children. They were all around the ages of seven and probably never marched before in their life. Shadow observed the situation and noticed Hilary was no where in sight. She must be inside the camp somewhere. Rouge could predict the outcome of this mission and it wasn't going to be pretty. The two looked at one another and nodded. They would need to split up and observe more of the situation. One thing bother Rouge greatly though, what are they doing with children and why?

Monko the Monkey was a ruthless man. Hilary knew this and even though she didn't like it, she needed his help. It was the only way to stop Dr. Eggman and G.U.N forever. She ran her fingers through her blonde, long hair. The only reason Monko even consider talking to her was because of her physical beauty. According to him she was his "Barbie" and there were more downsides to that then upsides. "Child, status report." She commanded a small, parrot. "Monko is currently training the new recruits ma'am." Monko used to work for G.U.N but quit when he realized what they actually do to people. The government is more cruel than anyone in Mobius realizes including all the agents there. They are all being led on to believe a huge lie, and Hilary the Rabbit is determined to destroy them.

Shadow looked throughout the area of the camp. There was no robots at all. The only soldiers were children. He figured this was a training camp for new recruits that were either captured or came here willingly. The words of the general filled his head. "Capture both leaders and destroy the army." Shadow began to snarl. That bastard wanted him to kill these children. That was their test. This is a test of their loyalty for G.U.N versus the emotions they have for themselves. "Chaos spear!" He growled as the power of chaos destroyed countless tents of resting children.

Rouge could hear Shadow's blast and knew something was wrong. She needed to find him. Monko spotted her as she flew to the sky searching. Rouge could tell he was furious and needed to get out of range fast. Monko followed her relentlessly anywhere she flew. He was a bad zit that wouldn't disappear. She needed a plan to catch him and she had to think fast. "I guess we'll handle this the old fashion way." She growled thrusting a kick to his side. He managed to block it and punched her in the hip. The pain filled her body momentarily causing her to hold in a yelp. She uppercut him in the jaw making her white gloves stained with his blood. Monko returned the punch instantly giving Rouge barely enough time to block. She could feel the bruises on her left arm. She needed a plan and she needed it fast. Rouge jabbed him in the stomach with her foot, he ignored the pain and grabbed her by her legs making her lose balance. Rouge hit the hard ground with her blood flying everywhere. Monko stood over her questioning himself if he should finish such a beautiful girl or not.

"Chaos Spear!" Monko dropped to the floor and Rouge finally shut her eyes.

Shadow sensed danger and knew he needed to find Rouge. He finished destroying the soldiers and burned the equipment to it's very ash. Smoke filled the air as he looked through it all for his comrade. Painful gasps filled Shadow's mind as he remembered his fallen friend, Maria. He needed to hurry. The smoke finally cleared his vision and he saw Monko.

He was standing over Rouge about to finish her. Shadow's rage took over his mind as he was set on killing the bastard who's about to kill his comrade. "Chaos Spear!" He growled finishing the dirty monkey as his blood fell towards Shadow's feet. Shadow snapped out of his rage and back into reality. He had just killed one of the two he was suppose to bring back. Then again it wasn't his fault that he saved his comrade from death now was it? Shadow picked up the fainted girl examining her for any serious injuries. When he knew for sure that she was going to be fine, he lifted her up in his arms. They couldn't go back to headquarters like this he knew that for sure. Shadow searched throughout his mind a place he could take her and finally decided on taking her to Blaze the Cat's condo. At least there he felt comfortable enough to rest even if it would only be for a short period of time.

Here's Chapter two of Monster. I decided as of right now I will continue it for the time being.

Review and Read.
