CHAPTER 33

Early the next morning, Shadow decided to take the device Charmy had made and test it to see if there was truly anything but an empty front yard. The morning was freezing cold and foggy. It was a sure sign that it had felt more like winter. It was so cold, he could see his own breath.

Shadow was wearing his black trench coat along with his usual work uniform that had a gold armband pinned on the right arm of the coat. The golden armband he wore had a kanji written on it that read 'leader.' The armband once belonged to Vector, but since he had passed and Shadow had now took over the Chaotix, he decided to start wearing it.

As he walked on the grass that had frost on it, he held out the strange device in front of him. He stopped immediately as the device had began making a loud beeping noise. He lowered the device and held it by his side. He looked around on the ground and found a rock that could fit in the palm of his hand. He threw the rock in front of him and had then heard a noise, like glass shattering. After hearing that, he now knew for sure that something was there. He used the device to once again pick up strong energy waves. He waved the device around until it began beeping again when he had held it up at a strange yard gnome that was setting on the ground across from him. He walked over to the odd yard ornament and turned it upside down to look under it. He arched an eyebrow when he saw a strange small black device with a red light. He pulled it off from the bottom of it and held it in his hand. He clenched it tightly in his hand, so tight it shattered into pieces.

When he dropped the pieces of the strange device to the ground, a seemingly old two story house had appeared in front of him. He stared at the house in amazement while he placed the energy tracker in the inside of his coat pocket. "…Jackpot."

With caution, he made his way up the porch. He reached out and placed his hand on the doorknob. When he turned it, the door had surprisingly opened. At that moment, he had figured that maybe something was wrong. He thought maybe he was walking right into a trap. When he slowly stepped inside, he looked around the dark hallways. There was dust and cobwebs all around the halls. As he continued to slowly walk around the quiet hall, he had suddenly fell through the weak wooden floorboard.

He fell into the lower part of the house. It had to have been the basement. He coughed from all of the dust that floated in the air after when he had fell through the floor.

He slowly got up from the floor and took a look around the fairly big basement. His eyes widened in surprise as he saw computers, monitors, and diagrams of strange weapons and devices. The room had appeared to be empty. He didn't see anyone in sight. He continued to look around the basement. "The jig is up, you nerdy fucks!" He shouted, "Either you show yourselves or I drag your asses out!"

He spotted papers being scattered all over the desk and floor. It had seemed that they knew he and the rest of the Chaotix team would find them in only a matter of time. They had already left and in a hurry it appeared. He began to look through the papers that were scattered on the desk that maybe would give him a clue to where they had went next. He looked until he came across a strange old looking book. The book had seemed important so he picked it up. His eyes then caught sight of a white board that had set beside him. It appeared to have something written on it in black marker. He looked closely to read what the board had said. His eyes widened as he read it, "…You're too late…" He was startled when multiple power saws sawed their way into the room.

There was one coming at him in every direction. When one of them came at him from the front. He dodged it by jumping onto the wooden support beam that held the ceiling up. He jumped back down and quickly ran upstairs. When he made it back into the hallway, more power saws had appeared from the walls. One of the saws had cut into the upper part of his coat. The cut wasn't deep enough to pierce into his arm.

He spotted the broken window that he threw the rock into and quickly jumped out of it.

Once he got outside, he rolled onto the grass and sat there panting in exhaustion with the book setting in his lap. He glanced over at the tear that one of the power saws had made in his coat. "Bastards…this is my favorite coat."

Later on that same morning, Tikal had came into Nails' bedroom while eating an apple. She walked in wearing nothing but an extra large gray t shirt and her underwear underneath it. The shirt was so big on her, it covered most of her body anyway. She glanced around the room and didn't see any sign of Nails. She saw that the bathroom door was shut so she figured that she was in the bathroom. Before she could do anything else, she suddenly saw the bathroom door swing open. She dropped her apple to the floor as her eyes fell upon a soaked and wet naked black bat woman. Her face turned red as the apple she was eating. She felt like she couldn't take her eyes away from her gorgeous wet body. She saw some water drip from her pink nipples on her big and perky breasts. When she thought she had the courage to, she turned away from her in embarrassment. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry, Nails!"

The bat looked over to the orange echidna in confusion.

"I…I didn't know you were in the shower! Please forgive me!"

Nails couldn't help but to slip a giggle as she saw how Tikal had reacted towards her. "It's okay, sweetie. You can look."

Tikal slowly peeked her head over in her direction again with a slight blush on her face.

Nails thought it was absolutely adorable that Tikal was acting like such a shy child. She walked over to her with her bare body still soaked. "It's all right. You unlike anyone else are more than welcome to see me naked."

She felt like she couldn't take her eyes away from her breasts. "…I just didn't want to disrespect you or anything."

She placed both of her hands on the cheeks of her face, "Don't be ridiculous. You're my girlfriend now remember?"

Her heart raced when she suddenly felt her hands travel down her body and to her hand.

"Don't be so shy, honey."

Her eyes widened as Nails made her hand caress her wet breast.

A seductive smile formed on her lips. "How does it feel?"

She swallowed hard before she could answer her, "Um, wet…and…squishy."

She took her other hand and made both of her hands travel down her wet body. "Do you like touching my body?"

She made a small nod, "Y-Yes." She could feel Nails gently pushing her body until her back had touched the wall. Her heart raced when Nails made her take her fingers and stroke them against her bare opening. The blush on her face had gotten redder and redder as Nails made her stroke her. "Um, Nails?" She spoke in a low voice, "I-I never done this before."

"I know, baby. We're just taking it one step at a time." She took her hand away from Tikal's. She whispered seductively to her, "Now stroke me."

She hesitated at first until she finally had the courage to gently stroke her fingers against Nails' wet entrance. She heard small moans coming from her.

"You're doing good, sweetie". She stroked her fingers through her dreadlocks. "Now put your fingers inside of me."

She did as she wanted and slowly placed a finger into her moist opening. When she heard her gasp from it, she took her finger out of her. "I'm hurting you. I'm sorry."

"You're not hurting me, baby. I like it." She lightly kissed her forehead to calm her down.

"…You do?"

She made a nod and placed her hands on Tikal's hips. "Let me do what you did to me then you'll know why I liked it." She noticed how uncomfortable Tikal had looked and thought that maybe she wasn't ready for them to get intimate yet. "If you want me to stop, then I will. I'm not going to force this on you."

She was shocked that Nails had stopped her actions and asked to see if she was really uncomfortable about what they were doing. "…You won't?"

She shook her head, "Of course not." She cupped her face and looked into her eyes, "I love you, Tikal. I would never do anything to hurt you."

Tikal's heart raced. She couldn't believe it, but Nails actually told her that she loved her. She had no idea words could make her feel so cared about and so safe. She gave her an affectionate look. "I love you too, Nails. I trust you." She leaned in close to her and was locked in a passionate kiss with her.

While they kissed, Nails stroked her fingers through Tikal's underwear until she felt her becoming wet.

Tikal winced and grabbed onto Nails' arm tightly as she felt her fingers being slowly inserted into her opening.

Nails had noticed Tikal's reaction. "Do you like that, baby?"

There was a slight discomfort for her at first but she began to like it as she started to slowly shove her fingers in and out of her. She slightly groaned, "Y-yes. This feels good."

Nails took her fingers out of her and playfully pushed Tikal's body onto her bed. She set her body on top of hers. "I know other things you may perhaps like."

A warm smile formed on the echidna's lips. "Will you share what you know with me?"

"I'd be more than glad to, sweetie." She leaned over and kissed the echidna woman once more.
