Chapter 3
Sonic & Rouge
"Uh...Rouge?"
"What's on your mind, Blue Boy?"
"Are you sure G.U.N asked ya to infiltrate this place...?"
"Mhm. They said we should take back the gems, and then I should look after them... (Or keep them, heh heh.)"
"What do you guys think of this?" Sonic whispered to the readers, a confused expression on his face.
"Hm? Blue Boy? Who are ya talking to?"
"Oh...Nobody." Sonic gave a quick wink to the readers.
"Well, let's get going. My...err...I mean... G.U.N's emeralds are waiting."
They stood outside a rather high security art gallery, trying not to look suspicious in the dark.
'This'll be a snap! He's not as bright as Shadow to do this.' Rouge thought, smirking at the blue hedgehog. The other looked at the bat in a confusing way.
"Something funny?"
"Na, Blue Boy! Now let's get those emeralds!" She flew towards the window, wondering if it was indeed open as she predicted. When she found it was locked, she sighed and flew back towards the ground where the blue blur was waiting, rather impatiently while tapping his red and white shoes.
"What's up now?"
"Oh nothing...Except the window's locked."
"Well DUH!"
"Don't take that tone with me, Blue Boy. Or I'll be telling Shadow on ya."
"Yikes...Although, I don't care. I could beat Shadow any day...hands down!" Sonic grinned confidently, while Rouge just huffed.
"Never mind... Anyways, let's get going."
"Uh...Rouge?"
"Yeah?"
"Who's this?" Sonic gestured towards a little hedgehog girl, who was cream coloured.
"HI!" The girl shouted, almost loudly.
"'I have no idea, Blue Boy. Let's get going before anyone ELSE sees us."
"But someone already has, and why can't we be seen by pedestrians?"
"Um..."
"Don't worry about me! I have a short attention span!" The little hedgehog announced, almost proudly.
"Where are your parents?" Rouge asked, trying not to look too annoyed.
"OOO! LOOK, A BIRD!"
"Never mind. Let's get going!" Rouge whispered to Sonic, as they watched the little girl run about.
"Yeah..."
"BIRDY! BIRDY! COME BACK! COME BACK!" The little hedgehog ran away, chasing a supposedly invisible bird.
The twosome ran/flew upwards towards the roof, trying to be quiet as possible.
"YOUCH! OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!" Sonic began hopping on one foot, as he rubbed his other toe.
"Shhh!"
"Sorry...I tripped on an air vent..."
"An air vent? Are you serious, Blue Boy? You act like you've never been on a roof before."
"I haven't been on any roofs..."
"I think that's a porky pie, Big Blue." Suddenly, it started to rain.
"YIPE!" Sonic immediately jumped into Rouge's arms. Rouge had a blank expression, which then changed to annoyance several moments later. She dropped Sonic on the floor, and into a puddle, while rubbing her hands together which dusted off her gloves.
"Gee, it's only rain. Rain can't hurt ya."
"You have no idea... It sits there... WAITING TO STRIKE!"
"Yeah, alright. I'll buy that."
They both came to a window, which so happened to be open.
"I feel like we're being watched..."
"Na. It's just you, Rouge."
"If ya say so, Blue Boy...But something's definitely creepin' me out here."
"Meh. Probably the chilidogs getting to ya."
"Chilidogs? I don't even eat those..."
"WHAT!? Are you joking?"
"We're supposed to be quiet here."
"Alright...Alright...Sheesh." They jumped inside from the unusually high window. Sonic fell face flat on the floor.
"Mama's home!" Rouge called out quietly, as she flew down. She stared at the many emeralds around her, but then saw an unusually bright one at the end of the corridor.
"Why didn't ya CATCH ME?!"
"To keep the gag going."
"What GAG? Oh... Right... So...Where are these 'gems' I keep hearing about?"
"Over here."
They walked across the large room which stretched almost as far as the eye could see.
"Piece o' cake!" Sonic was about to walk further, but Rouge sighed and stopped him.
"Are you as dim-witted as Knuckie?"
"Uh...No?"
"Security lines. Duh."
"Hey! I'm the one to say 'Duh'!"
"Yeah, okay. Alright. I'm gonna dodge these real quick." She somersaulted over what seemed to be nothing.
"I have no idea why I'm here. She can do it herself... Can't she?" Sonic asked the readers, placing his hand on his muzzle. "Well...Might as well eat that chilidog I've been saving." He pulled out a chilidog, and stepped forward, hoping to look around. But then, disaster struck. Ironically, a banana peel was on the floor. As Sonic walked, he slipped on it, and the chilidog began flying through the air. He cried, "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo... (Etc)"
Rouge was just about to take the gem out, but then turned her head to Sonic, who was now on the floor. "Big blue, what are you up to-AHHH!" The chilidog bounced about the room like a bouncy ball, hit a few security lines, and then landed smack bang in the middle of Rouge's face.
"Uh oh." The alarms went off, the lights went red, while flashing on and off rapidly.
"I aint leaving without MY gem!" She grabbed the pink gem, and flew back over to Sonic within 15 seconds, as the doors began to close.
"Uh... Nice make-up." Rouge gave him death's glare.
She slapped her hand on her face, wiping the chilidog sauce off. "I'll forget about that little incident, if you get me out of here!"
"You don't even have to say it twice."
Sonic grabbed her hand, and raced out of there as quickly as possible. There were many doors clamping shut on the way out. Rouge was hanging on for dear life, because it was that fast. The doors seemed to be slamming shut behind them, and random shots were everywhere, not bothering with accuracy at all. When they reached the last door, another disaster struck. A cage fell from the ceiling, creating many dust clouds around the area.
"Darn it. What now?" Sonic asked, gritting his teeth.
"I aint staying in this cage. Tight, dark spaces can definitely ruin a lady's complexion." Rouge stepped backwards and then leapt forward quickly, kicking the bars. She repeated the method several times. Sonic tapped his feet and looked about, not amused.
"Stop it, will ya? Why don't cha let me try?"
She stopped and folded her arms, while she shooed him with her hand. "Go ahead, Blue Boy. Knock yourself out." Sonic rolled his eyes and curled into a ball. He began spinning rapidly, creating a blue blur. He sped forward in this form, crashing into the metal bars. However, nothing seemed to break the bars. After several moments of spinning, Sonic stopped and tapped his feet impatiently.
"Something isn't right. I betcha we aren't trapped here because of failure."
"Oh, ho, ho, ho! You are correct Sonic!" A voice called from the shadows, which followed by cackles of laughter moments after. The room suddenly blinded the twosome, and as it faded, it revealed a large lab room.
"Aw, it was a trap. Nice going, Rouge."
"Hey, we wouldn't have been detected if you hadn't rubbed that chilidog in my face."
"I slipped on a banana peel. How is that rubbing it in your face?"
"SILENCE!" Someone ordered with a slight tone of annoyance in his voice.
"What if we don't want to be silent, Egghead?"
The scientist stepped forward from the dark, and smiled. "Why ask, Sonic?"
"Hm. Does it begin with T?"
"Uh, HELLO! We're trying to get out, Blue Boy. Not play I-Spy with Eggy."
"Well, well, Rouge. Why leave so soon?" Eggman asked, twirling his moustache and grinning eerily.
"I have some gems that need dusting. They need to be cleaned...thoroughly."
"Alright. Well, Sonic. I have prepared a special treat for both you and Rouge!"
"Aw, Eggy. You didn't have to make a surprise just for Blue Boy and lil' ol' me."
"Oh, but I did. And I can't guarantee that you'll love it."
"Oh, crud. I thought it was a chilidog." Sonic called loudly, a large smirk plastered on his face.
"Of course it's not a... Chilidog! It's my brilliant invention!" He pulled out a portable red button and pushed it.
SMASH!
A giant round robot entered the room, with golden plating and glowing red eyes. Its fists were filled with spikes. It looked slightly humanoid, very much like his other robot from his pyramid hideout. At the top was a familiar looking, round hole.
"Made a new toy, Egghead?" Sonic asked, while boredom filled his eyes.
Eggman ignored the comment and called out, "I call it... the Eggtron 2012!"
A sweat drop appeared on both Rouges and Sonics face, as they knew Eggman was always stumped when coming up with names for his... toys. Sonic folded his arms and smiled, "Oh really? I thought it was called: Eggman's biggest failure."
"SHUT UP, YOU PESKY HEDGEHOG! I DON'T SEE YOU MAKING THESE!"
"That's because I don't bother. I don't need it. I can beat ya all by myself."
"NRGHHH! SHUT UP! DO NOT INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE!"
"Your intelligence must be low on IQ if you can't think of better names for your inventions."
"Ahem. Are we meant to be getting out here? You're getting way off topic, Big Blue." Rouge interjected, as her hands found their way onto her hips. She began tapping her foot, rather impatiently and irritably.
"Yeah, you're right. When Egghead opens the cage, we bolt out at super Sonic speed!" Sonic whispered, as he eyed the large robot stepping towards them.
"No pun intended?"
Sonic rolled his eyes and then replied, "Just wait for the right moment, Rouge."
"Oh, and I am not opening the cage. I will leave you trapped in there, while that robot CRUSHES YOU!" Eggman announced, somewhat proudly.
"That isn't fair, Eggy." Rouge replied, huffing as she went.
"Life's not fair! Eggtron, CRUSH THEM! OH, HO, HO, HO!"
CRASH!
"NOT ON MY WATCH!"
"HUH?" Everyone asked, as they stared at another wall which had been broken down by an individual.
"Wouldn't the door have been easier?" Eggman asked, as he peered at the red echidna running towards the giant robot.
"That was the door. MY DOOR."
"Oh, Knuckie! Did you come to save me?" Rouge asked sarcastically.
"What?! I came to investigate! WHERE'D YOU GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT? SONIC!?"
"You're so cute when you're mad, Knuckie!"
"Yeah, Knuckie!" Sonic mimicked mockingly, while smiling cheerfully.
"Shut your yap, Sonic. Now... If you don't mind, I'm trying to fight an overly-sized, golden, weird, heavy, metal robot here." Knuckles said sternly, as he charged at the robot. Sonic slapped his forehead.
"Yeah, that's right! Ignore us, Knucklehead!" Sonic called, growing bored every second. As Knuckles charged towards it, it swung its arms about, hoping to hit the intruder. But Knuckles was faster than this chunk of rock. He ran around the toes, and smashed his knuckles down on them, causing them to shake rapidly. With it distracted, Knuckles began jumping up towards the robot using the many stairs around it, and then smashing his fists into the brain circuits. The poor robot didn't stand a chance. The robot fell to the ground, and Knuckles blew his fists as though they were pistols.
"I think Eggy's losing his edge..." Rouge muttered.
"And that's why you DON'T mess with the Knuckster!" Knuckles called, smiling with success.
"Enough with the nicknames, Knucklehead. Ever tried getting us OUT of here?" Sonic began to charge at the bars. Knuckles, however, just smiled. That is, he was smiling, until Rouge did something completely unexpected and drastic. She kissed Sonic on the cheek!
"Thanks for the walk, Big Blue. It was lovely." She smiled slyly, and walked towards the cage door. Sonic went red, almost shocked himself.
"WALK!? SONICCCCC! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?!"
"Uh... Nothing, Knucklehead. I was just assisting Rouge on this 'mission'." He slapped his hand on his cheek, rubbing off the kiss quickly.
"OH, YEAH?"
"Yes, Yeah."
"I DON'T THINK SO-"
"I think I'll go now..." Eggman muttered to himself, as his floating machine appeared. He jumped into and flew off fairly quickly. "Hope you like the BOMB! OH, HO, HO, HO!" He called out, as he faded into the distance of the window.
"Knuckie, can you rescue me like the brave knight you are?" Rouge interrupted, with a slightly sarcastic tone in her voice. Knuckles glared at Sonic, but then went towards the cage door. He smashed open the lock within a minute, and the cage bars fell to the ground, while it's ceiling seemed to hang in the air.
"Thanks, Knucklehead." Sonic grinned casually, as he raced forward, grabbing both of their hands.
"What the...? SONIC! GET OFF ME!" Knuckles yelled, while he tried to place his feet on the ground.
"Let's blow this chilidog stand first! Or do you want to be bomb food?"
"No. And Sonic, you better have not called me stupid!"
"Wuh? What was that, Knucklehead? I would never call you that... Would I?" Sonic smirked as they raced out of the building, which suddenly exploded behind them. Sonic and the others separated due to the blast, going in three different directions. They all rubbed their heads, and looked about. Knuckles picked himself up from in front of a tree, and rubbed his back, moaning in pain. He then turned to see Rouge at the other side, also in front an oak tree. He walked towards Rouge, secretly concerned for her well being.
"You okay?" He asked, gruffly, while trying to grab her hand to help her up. Again, she snatched her hand away from his, an annoyed look on her face.
"Get your hands off me! You messed up big time, Knuckie! You're lucky my emerald's still clean and shiny..."
"Hmph! Well don't ask me for help again! Wait a minute... Emerald?"
"We never asked you for help, Knuckie boy!" She folded her arms and looked away with a scowl. "We were doing just fine! And this beauty's gonna make up for it. She's not as great as the Master Emerald, but she'll do... for now." She then muttered quietly, "I'll steal that beauty later..."
"The MASTER EMERALD belongs on ANGEL ISLAND! Not in your display cabinet!"
"Who told you about my display cabinet?! Sonic?!"
"Don't look at me. I haven't even seen it." Sonic sighed, and faced the readers, "Why am I always the culprit here?"
"So, Knuckie. How DID you find us? Or were you following me?" Rouge asked, while standing up and dusting herself off.
"No." Knuckles denied, not at all bothered now, "And it was thanks to a little hedgehog girl that I found you. She was chasing a bird for some reason..." Knuckles scratched his head. Sonic walked towards the duo.
"So, what do we do now?" Sonic asked, thinking.
"HIYA!" The greeting caught everyone by surprise, as they turned around to see the cream hedgehog standing there. Something blue seemed to glisten in her hand, but nobody noticed it.
Knuckles knelt down on the floor to the child's height, and then said, "Hey there, thanks for helping me earlier." Knuckles said it somewhat happily, and a tiny hint of thankfulness was in his voice. It was like talking to Cream all over again.
"Aw, don't mention it...But seriously, you have temperament issues." The cream hedgehog replied, digging the edge of her shoe into the dirt and twirling it.
"WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!"
"I thought you had a short attention span..." Rouge murmured, but it was loud enough for the group to hear.
"I still do... OH WOW! A BLUE CAR!" The mini hedgehog began to run towards the edge of the path. When she got there, she squealed and giggled in excitement. Sweat drops appeared on the group's faces, as the female hedgehog began running up and down the street, yelling 'Red car, blue car, everything is car, car!'
"Maybe we should head back to the presenter now?" Sonic asked, kinda creeped out by the feminine animal on the side path.
"Aw, do we have to break up so soon, Big Blue?"
"Yes." Sonic answered flatly, folding his arms and looking slightly annoyed.
"Don't try anything, Sonic." Knuckles told him sternly.
"What?" Sonic asked, wondering what he was on about.
Knuckles was about to answer, but he stopped and then said, "Never mind."
-Twenty minutes later, in the studio-
"Oh, Shadow!" Rouge cried, as she ran up to the ebony hedgehog with open arms. The ebony hedgehog was in his usual fold-arms pose.
"Don't even think about it, Rouge." He warned, noticing that she was about to hug him. Rouge stopped and pushed her hands up defensively.
"Alright then. I thought you missed me."
"You thought wrong."
"Aw, you're just kidding aren't you, Shadow?"
"Yes, I'm kidding..." Shadow muttered sarcastically. Sonic suddenly sped in, and was quickly greeted by a hostile glare which came from Shadow. Sonic glanced at Tails who was at least a few steps away from him, as he walked forward while smiling brightly.
"Hiya Bud! Hope Shadow didn't give you a hard time!"
"Nope! Me and Shadow had tons of fun! Right, Shadow?" Shadow smirked at the question, and then at the blue hero.
"This can't be good..." Sonic murmured.
"In fact, Shadow gave me a present!"
"A present? Alright, Shadow, what do you want now?"
"Nothing." He answered, while smirking at the other hedgehog warningly. Tails suddenly pulled out a sniper.
"TAILS?! WHERE IN MOBIUS DID YOU GET THAT?!"
Tails tilted his head, "I just told you, Sonic. Shadow gave me it." Sonic's eyes widened as he stared at the end of the gun.
"Shadow, he's flipping eight years old! Why have ya given him that?!"
"You'll find out." The smirk hadn't left Shadow's muzzle. Rouge just watched the situation quietly, wondering what Shadow was up to.
"Shadow taught me a game as well! It was really fun! Want to play it?"
Sonic narrowed his eyes at Shadow once more, "Why would Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate life form, play games with an eight-year-old?"
Shadow's smirk changed to a frown as he answered, "Shut it, Faker."
"Oh no, you're the faker, Shadow!"
"You might want to start running, Faker." Shadow snapped back, his usual smirk appearing on his muzzle.
"Why?" He was never answered because Tails had intercepted the conversation.
"Sonic, are you playing the game with me or not?" Tails asked, growing impatient.
"Oh, I don't know. Tell me what I have to do in this game."
"It's simple. You run..."
"That's cake."
"No, that's not cake, Sonic. It's a waffle." Tails pointed to a nearby plate on a table.
"Never mind, Tails. Just tell me what I have to do."
"You have to run, while I try and shoot you."
"WHAT?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" Sonic cried, almost yanking his own quills out. He was shocked his little brother would even think of such a thing.
"Oh, don't worry. Shadow guaranteed that none of the bullets would hit you. Apparently, this is a special gun!" The smirk on Shadow's muzzle seemed to grow much bigger.
"SHADOW WANT'S TO FLIPPING KILL ME, TAILS!"
Tails tilted his head, "That's not how he tells it..."
"DARN IT, SHADOW! HE'S NEVER GOING WITH YOU AGAIN! YOU'RE A BAD INFLUENCE!"
"What can I say?" The black hedgehog asked, while shrugging uncaringly.
"I'm outta HERE!" Sonic sped out of the building, escaping easily.
"It seems he's started your game early, Tails." Shadow stated, as he rolled his eyes towards the fox.
"It looks it, yeah. I'M COMING SONIC!" Tails ran out of the room, after his brother.
"Uh, Shadow. What would you say if I said I kissed Blue Boy?" Rouge asked out of the blue. She seemed a bit timid.
"Frankly, I'd murder the damn hedgehog, and send him straight to Hell." Rouge shuddered at the thought. "Why ask?" Shadow looked towards Rouge to see a small amount of nervousness building up in her eyes.
"Uh...No reason, Shadow."
He identified her body language, "You didn't...!"
"Of course I didn't! And why would you care anyways?" Rouge immediately changed her expression. She was now filled with annoyance. Rouge was a VERY GOOD LIAR. Shadow rolled his eyes.
"Never mind, Rouge."
Me: OOOO! Shadow's feeling overprotective now, is he?
Shadow: *narrows eyes* Stop. It. Now.
Me: Okay, okay! I didn't mean it...much...
Tails: Anyone seen Sonic?
Me: I believe he's being chased by a police cruiser. Shadowwww, have you done something lately?
Shadow: No.
Me: Okay, I'll believe that... For ONE SECOND! What have you been doing?!
Shadow: Nothing.
Me: You have!
Shadow: *frowns* This isn't going to turn into a have not and have too argument is it?
Me: It is if you don't tell me!
Shadow: Forget it.
Me: Oh dear. Trying to get revenge again?
Shadow: What?
Me: I don't think Maria would like that.
Shadow: Either shut up now, or face the consequences. *scowls*
Me: Oh... I'm SOO SCARED! I am the author ya know. I could put you in that suspended-animation pod again. *joking*
Shadow: You wouldn't dare. That's practically cheating.
Me: Oh, fine. *mutters* I can't do that anyways...
Shadow: What was that?
Me: Oh, nothing. Hm, Shadow?
Shadow: Yes?
Me: What happened to Knuckles's diary?
Shadow: *narrows eyes* I burned it.
Me: 0_o Alright...Where is Knucklehead anyways?
Knuckles: *mutters* I'm right here.
Me: Couldn't stay away from me, could ya?
Knuckles: That's a lie and you know it! I left the Master Emerald here, so I came back for it!
Me: Huh? But this area's all white. Where could you have put it? It's a monochrome room ya know. All it has is 4 chairs, a table and a T.V.
Knuckles: I made a door?
Me: A door? KNUCKLEHEAD! YOU BETTER HAVE NOT PUT A HOLE IN MY MONOCHROME ROOM!
Knuckles: Yeah, I did. *smirks*
Me: Where did ya come from anyways? Same goes for you lot. And me.
Shadow:*shrug* Chaos Control?
Tails: I don't know.
Knuckles: Me neither. I just ran around and broke loads a' walls.
?: Beats me. Mephiles?
Me: What the HECK? Mephiles is here!?
?: No, he isn't.
Me: Thank goodness. Gosh, I'm losing my attitude...
Knuckles: Maybe that's a good thing.
Me: SHUT IT, KNUCKLEHEAD!
Silver: *Was actually ?* Hello.
Me: Oh... Hi Silver. Heh, heh...Why are you here?
Silver: Oh, I thought I'd stop by. Give a few revenge threats. You know, the usual. Someone made my day by strapping me to a chair while Shadow's theme was on full blast.
Shadow: Came back for more, did you? *pulls out a duster*
Silver: *looks at Shadow worriedly* No, no! Not at all! You have me all wrong!
Shadow: Sure I do.
Silver: I'm just trying to track down the person responsible.
Knuckles: *points at me*
Me: Knuckles, keep your fists away from me.
Silver: It was you, wasn't it?
Me: No. Shadow did it!
Shadow: I believe I helped you moments ago, when Knuckles went berserk. Do I need to take that back?
Me: O_O No, no! It's fine, Shadow! (Gosh, I don't want another hedgehog out to kill me!)
?: Hiya y'all!
Knuckles: Rouge, you do pick the worst times to come.
Rouge: Why, thanks, Knuckie!
Me: What a great family reunion. All we're missing is Sonic and a few other people. Also, I was wondering. Would you guys like this to go on for all the characters when Sonic, Shadow, Rouge and Tails are done? You can all decide on this in your reviews! Anyways, guys! R & R please! ;)
